Angel and Sephirot.

Chapter 9 : Journey to Diablo's lair.

"Now you know everything to go to Diablo's lair. You can leave when you want. "

Jaden and Haou nodded. Ashera had just explained them how to enter their enemy's lair. They were planning to leave now. And alone.

Jaden turned toward his lover, and said:

"Jesse. Stay here with her. You will be safe." The bluenet's eyes widened.

"No way! I am going with you, Jay! "

"It's too dangerous!"

"I don't care! I will never leave you again! "

Jaden bit his lips. He knew Jesse wished to never be apart from him ever again after Dark World, and Jaden wished too; but this was too dangerous. If a demon attacked Jesse...

"Please, Jess. I will never forgive myself if something happened to you... "

The brunet lowered his gaze, feeling like crying. Jesse's eyes went soft. He bit his lips, then sighed.

"Okay, you win. But you better return safe! "

Jaden looked at his lover, and smiled brightly before hugging him. Jesse pushed him a little, then leaned in and kissed him feverishly. Jaden moaned into the kiss, feeling the bluenet's tongue playing with his own.

They broke apart, and blushed when they saw Ashera and Haou looking at them, clearly amused.

"And remember: demons, where you're travelling, know you. Don't let them see your face. "

"Yeah mom." The brunet twins said playfully. Then they rushed away, waving goodbye, when Ashera grabbed a plate out of nowhere and threatened them with it.

They were now walking in the forest, best way to make few encounters. Suddenly, Jaden tripped. He closed his eyes, waiting the hard floor, but instead he felt warm arms enveloped him. He opened his eyes and wasn't really surprised to see Haou holding him, looking worried. He pushed Jaden on his feet, then hit him behind the head.

"Ow! What was that for? "

"Baka you still didn't learn to look where you walk." Haou smirked.

Jaden would have answer if he didn't remember one of the many time Haou, when he was still Sephirot, scolding him about it. He smiled, then kept walking.

After some hours, they found themselves in a village. Jaden had his cloak on, and was eating a little in a sort of pub. He froze when a hand grabbed his chin and made him looked in a demon's eyes, who was clearly drunk.

"Hey, hottie, what are you doing all alone in this sexy clothes?" Jaden twitched. Haou raised an eyebrow; knowing how his twin hated people like him, he was going to explode (literally) soon enough. "I bet you're hiding a perfect face..." He reached a hand, and seemed like he was going to tell something else.

Jaden's eyes glowed crimson, and the next thing the drunken demon knew, he was at the opposite part of the pub, hitting with strength the wall. He passed out under the strength and alcohol.

Jaden stormed out, fuming in utter fury. Haou was following, laughing.

They were on the road, again, Jaden's face exposed since it was safe now. Or so he thought. As they were walking and chatting, a group of demon was coming in the opposite direction, unseen by them. And when they round a huge rock, the demons and the brunet came face to face. Jaden gasped, and jumped back behind the rock. Shit! They saw me! Maybe they didn't have the time to recognize you...

"ANGEL COME HERE!" Oh forget what I just said, you're in big trouble...

Jaden sighed then came from behind the rock. And made a strange noise when he was suddenly squeezed by the seemingly leader of the group.

"Oh man I'm so happy to see you again! I was starting to believe you really died! "

Jaden looked puzzled, then recognition hit him. It was Firion, a demon he had saved and that love him like a brother. Firion pushed him back, then looked around, showing surprise.

"Where is Sephirot? You two are always together. "

"Errr well... I think I need to explain everything... "

"You're serious? Oh my... I wish I could have helped you... "

"Don't worry, everything is fine now. Well almost..." Jaden looked at Haou, wishing with all his might he could have his own body again.

Firion frowned, then understood Sephirot, well Haou now, was certainly standing where Jaden was looking.

"You know, An-Jaden, I can lead you to Diablo with my men. We will help you with great pleasure, just for making his life hell." He grinned somewhat sadistically.

Jaden beamed happily. He was feeling so joyful to be with his friend again.

And after another hour, they were in front of a huge dark castle. The twins looked darkly at it.

"Diablo... The artifact... Here we are! "
