Anyways, I'll be working to incorporate bits of the chapter 89 in this chapter usage of italics will also include thoughts and telepathic contact.
Oh, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's supported me for this short period of time. Every time I hit a slump, reading your reviews always makes me feel better. J So, without further ado, here's chapter thirteen. Unfortunately, there will be no releases next week as I am busier than usual.
Ayanami unbuttoned the boy's shirt, revealing the pale skin underneath. Teito was lying on top of his desk, glaring at the man holding him down. He hated Ayanami. Verloren. But there was always something in those eyes that he never could seem to resist. Every time he looked into those eyes, he saw something more than just...just...desire. There always seemed to be a softness in his eyes, but Teito could never be sure. Teito always felt defenceless when he was exposed. He could almost literally feel Ayanami's gaze caress him.
Ayanami sighed and sent Hyuuga out to guard the door outside his office. The man smiled and silently left the room. Having no more observers, Ayanami examined boy pinned beneath him. He lowered his head and began gnawing at one of the boy's nipples.
Having left the room, Hyuuga sighed. The expression on his face was a mix of dejectedness, happiness and amusement. In a quiet voice, he spoke to himself. "I'm sorry Aya-tan... I'm just no good with good..." ...byes. The man hesitated. Sorry Aya-tan... I guess I can't tell you goodbye. Hyuuga readied his sword and headed off.
"STOP IT!" Teito wanted to resist, but he couldn't. He was powerless within the man's iron grip and was starting to lose it... Ayanami's eyes were filled with longing. He continued his obscene task, despite the boy's pleas. "Please...stop...Ayanami...sama..." Teito hated the fact that he was being turned on by his greatest enemy...
Teito was right in front of Ayanami. Helpless. Powerless. Unable to run away... Even though Ayanami had what he wanted within his grasp, he knew he could never have it... It seemed like eons ago when he had this feeling of emotion. Being unable to take what he wanted, even though it was right in front of him.
The Ghost was standing before a man in sitting solemnly in his chair. It appeared he was observing his creation. There were two pure white birds flying by him.
One of the birds spoke, there was a worried sound in his angelic voice. It looked over at the Ghost with its deep ruby eyes. "Chief, it's too severe..."
The man raised his hand and the voice immediately stopped. He turned his attention to the ghostly being. ""A defect was found inside of you. Before long, not only your appearance, but everything about you will be swallowed up by darkness..."We'll administer proper treatment tomorrow, but until then you are absolutely forbidden to meet anyone."
The other bird spoke up. He also had an angelic voice, but its eyes were a dark shade of azure blue. He landed on the man's shoulder. "He's intelligent, Chief... There's no way a situation will never arise..."
The man interrupted the other. "You two don't know how terrifying it will become. If it spreads, it will surpass any kind of darkness currently existing within Heaven and the Earth... He will become a demon who will swallow everything he lays his hand upon..."
Hyuuga went through what seemed like a labyrinth of corridors. He could sense the ridiculous amount of bloodlust as he moved closer. He drew his sword as he saw one man trying to strike another with a large scythe...
Konatsu opened his eyes. "Major!" Konatsu had fallen to the floor, and the he looked up to see the major's sword blocking the giant death scythe... Konatsu was shocked. He had never expected Landkarte to appear in their stronghold. They were by an extremely large window. From inside, you could see the outlying district.
The Ghost disappeared from the boy's line of sight. In an instance, he heard sickening noise of flesh being cut as he watched the major. His first instinct was to fight, as he grabbed the hilt of his sword. Hyuuga stared at Katsuragi. "I see... so that's the teleportation ability. How annoying..." Hyuuga looked back on his subordinate. "Konatsu, do not interfere. That is an order." Hyuuga looked at his left arm where he had been cut. Darkness had enveloped him up to the elbow, but slowly disappeared. Damn it. Aya-tan's going to find out...
Ayanami immediately stopped. His subordinate was no longer outside the door. Blackness was slowly crawling up his arm. Teito wanted to examine it, but as soon as he tried touching the man's arm, he was immediately turned away from. Teito, puzzled looked up at Ayanami. It was so unlike him to be bothered by anything. Did Verloren take damage if one of his subordinates he was linked to took damage?
Ayanami stepped back and seemed to be in a daze. Taking the opportunity, Teito moved away from the man and faced the window in the office. He looked out. It was pitch black outside. He did up his shirt and then sat in the couch across the desk. A motionless Ayanami observed Teito. There was something in his eyes saying "Don't go, you'll be killed," that compelled the boy to stay and silently observe...
"Hyuuga change with me." He wanted to resist but he couldn't say no. Not in this situation...Ayanami was furious and his will, overpowering. Hyuuga slowly felt his consciousness slipping away.
Ayanami looked up at the betrayer. He glared at Landkarte behind the shades. "Katsuragi... no, Landkarte, with Vertrag's power, I'm holding on to half of yours, and the other's souls," Ayanami held out the pale glowing orb in his hand. "And we are supposed to be sharing a consciousness..."
"I just copied what a higher power has done...for us Ghosts, playing with souls is nothing." Katsuragi smiled, and in turn revealed a different soul. "I just took a soul that look like mine and forcibly 'attached' it to mine, like a cloak. It was fairly simple to deceive you guys. You've always been so sure of yourself and you would never have sensed any deception on my part until it was too late. "
"Is that why you infiltrated the Blackhawks? You're trying to get a hold of my body by having Teito Klein open Pandora's Box?" Using Feste's power, Verloren encircled Landkarte with his hundreds of fine strings.
"Oh, no Verloren... No... Verloren... honestly do respect you with all my heart," Katsuragi made no sign of resistance, even while being trapped. Fest's strings, which were seemingly cutting Landkarte, slipped through him, and now tainted by darkness. "That perfect world you were building when you were tainting everyone's souls... that beauty... is now an unobtainable goal as you found love... and because of the Chief of Heaven's daughter..."
Landkarte seemed to be struggling with himself. He clutched his head and was violently shaking. "If only... If only... you never met her...!." He looked up with bloodshot eyes. As he spoke, Katsuragi's body became more and more enveloped with a pitch black aura. "LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO LET YOU SEE HER AGAIN!" Fest's power was instantly repelled. Now free, Landkarte swung his scythe and caused another explosion.
Ayanami easily dodged and jumped out of the way. "So... you're a defect. That's no surprise seeing how you had strayed from the Ghost's path..." Konatsu didn't notice, but there was tinge of regret in Ayanami's eyes from a lifetime ago. Landkarte laughed. His entire being was covered up in blackness.
Aya-tan... you need to be there to protect Teito-kun... I'm sorry...I won't be with you...
"Hyuuga!" Ayanami was losing control. There seemed to be a hint of desperation in the purple eyes in front of him. He could only imagine something terrible was going to befall his Blackhawks... "Damn it!" Teito silently sat at attention, even while hearing Ayanami's sudden outburst. It was the first time that he had seen so much emotion coming from Ayanami. Anger flashed in the man's eyes, causing the boy to flinch. He softened having seen the effect his anger had on Teito. "Damn it, Hyuuga..."
"Just because I've been listening silently...!" The man struggled with his sword as he overpowered his superior. Hyuuga swung his blade at the deceitful Ghost. His bloodlust radiated out of him. "Doesn't mean you can just take someone's place Katsuragi-san!"
Ayanami was surprised. Hyuuga had never forced himself back to the surface before. 'Hyuuga! Do not touch him. Switch places with me...'
'No. it looks like I've been already infected. I'm sorry Aya-tan... but if you keep linking with me, even your real body won't get away unscathed...'
Ayanami repeated himself. He was sounding desperate. 'Hyuuga..stop this, switch places with me.'
He smiled. "I'm sorry Aya-tan..." Ayanami's stern voice was ringing inside his head. "This command... I can't listen to that command." The man smiled. It would be the first and the last time he would disobey his most important person...
"I got you~!" He smiled. Blood was dripping out of the corner of his mouth, and slowly gushing out of his side. Hyuuga had managed to successfully make contact with Landkarte, but he in turn, had accepted his blow. The large scythe was ebbed over halfway in his body, and his sword was stuck in Katsuragi's chest.
"For you to die in vain... It's so unlike you."
"Yup. That's so unlike me..." Hyuuga took a small object out of his pocket, and thought of the last conversation with Ghost at the ball.
"Which one do you prefer? Your right or left arm? Or would you rather your legs first?" The man smiled as he stood over the Ghost, but the Ghost didn't seem to care.
The Ghost just sat on the floor. There wasn't any light in his eyes. He seemed to be focused on something even more important and dangerous than his current predicament."Whichever one you want." He stared at Hyuuga.
The larger man sighed as he approached the Ghost. "That's boring. Shouldn't you have a different kind of expression right now?"
The Ghost continued to look downward. "It seems... that Verloren doesn't know that there are others who desire Pandora's Box as well." He looked up at Hyuuga. His eyes seemed emotionless. "Landkarte... He is no longer human. Just a demon who posses humans and devours them from the inside until there is nothing left." Profe took something out of his jacket and placed it on the floor. "If you take this... you can protect your important person."
Hyuuga was slightly taken aback. He knew that Profe was one of the nicer Ghosts, and probably the only one who didn't condemn Verloren's existence. "What is it?"
"It's a flower seed that eats away darkness..." Hyuuga reached down and picked up the seed. He knew that Labrador was never one to resort to dishonest means. "...But remember, think carefully when you use this... Because it eats away darkness...You might be devoured as well..."
Hyuuga smiled. He silently thanked Labrador. He knew that Profe only wanted Verloren to exist peacefully... He took out the seed that Labrador had given him earlier and threw it into the air Time seemed to stop for Hyuuga. He waited until the seed had reached his sword hilt's height and he kicked the seed into the sword. "There's no time for me to think, because everything I do... I do for Aya-tan."
There was a huge explosion as the glass shattered. The two combatants disappeared, swallowed up by smoke and darkness.
Konatsu stared at his superior and his former comrade in horror. "MAJOR!"
Teito felt a pang of doubt in his heart. He had never thought that Ayanami was capable of emotion, as small tear dripped down his face. "Hyuuga... why didn't you switch with me?" The man looked down on the floor with downcast eyes. He seemed devoid of emotion and thought. He covered his face with his large hand as the silent boy looked on.
Well that's chapter 13. Hope you enjoyed it. :) I think this chapter was the most... confusing for me to write. For the record, I HATE doing flashbacks sometimes. I've just decided do it however instead of something like: "He recalled the past and blah blah blah..." Yea whatever xD. So next chapter will not be released until about two weeks later cuz im realllly busy! Please review as I really want your feedback!
