A/N: Because of someone (you know who you are) who reviewed, I wrote this. Their review made me smile. I apologize for the evilness. It's a genetic thing. ;) I agree; Gazzy deserves more oneshots. I was actually planning to do him next. Also, I have no idea why the majority of these oneshots start with the letter "B". It just happens.
Disclaimer; Like I said, it's a fanfic site. I own nothing.
Gazzy held Angel's hand tightly in his own, making sure she felt safe. She looked up at him. "It's okay, Gazzy. I know you'll protect me." He beamed with pride. Of course, nothing particularly dangerous was going on. But Gazzy wasn't taking any chances.
"We've come for the little one," an eraser said, smirking wolfishly.
"Gotta be more specific," snarled Max.
"The one you call Angel."
At the time, Gazzy and Angel were sharing a cage. They'd just found out that they were blood relatives. Gazzy had been clinging tight to her ever since. Now, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and glared at the erasers.
One eraser opened the cage door and tried to grab Angel. Gazzy removed one arm to angrily swat the eraser's arm away. Not expecting it, the eraser's hand was effectively knocked away. Gazzy snarled like an animal.
Angel whimpered. "Don't worry," whispered Gazzy. Another eraser got down on his knees and tried to grab Angel. Gazzy bit his fingers.
"Enough of this!" shouted a whitecoat. "Just grab her! I don't care what you have to do!"
The biggest eraser reached in. He appeared to be reaching for Angel, but at the last second he altered his course and grabbed Gazzy instead. Gazzy, not expecting it, was yanked roughly from the cage by his upper arms.
"Gazzy!" shrieked Angel. Gazzy was being held so that he was facing her. "Angel!" he shouted back. An eraser grabbed Angel by the hair. "Come on, Birdie. Time to play," crooned the eraser, showing rows of dripping yellow teeth.
Gazzy screamed and struggled against his captor. He beat his wings against the eraser's face, but the wolfy creature held fast.
Then, Angel was gone.
Gazzy made a pact that day. He swore to protect Angel all the time. He watched her carefully, making sure she wouldn't disappear again.
She was his only blood relative, after all.
He promised himself he would be the best big brother for Angel, because she was the best little sister.
