You Lied

Mikan

I fumed, trying to untie the metal chains that bound me to a chair.

A chair. Stupid Natsume going overboard with everything. He'd probably laugh in my face later.

We'll see who'll be laughing when I punch the shit out of his face.

"Hotaru!" I cried helplessly.

There was silence, and then a raven-haired beauty popped her head out from behind the locked door, an evil glint in her violet eyes.

"Are you dying, Tainted Angel?" she asked, a smirk playing on the edges of her lips. I scowled.

"No, but I'm about to if you don't get these chains off of me," I said as sweetly as possible. Hotaru's smirk grew.

"In that case, don't let me stop you. I'll tell Hyuuga you committed suicide." she laughed darkly.

"You wouldn't dare," I said fiercely. Hotaru's brows raised.

"Are you challenging me, Angel?"

"What if I am, bitch-witch?" I snarled, using the nickname I had thought of. I secretly smiled. How fitting since she really was a witch. "and I don't get why Ruka likes you, by the way."

Hotaru's violet eyes liquified, and she sent me a glare that shut me up.

"Do not bring Bunny Boy into this," she whispered murderously, "He is my boy-toy. And I don't like it when people, especially Angels, try to put their filthy hands on my property."

"You . . . witch! Ruka isn't a toy!" I yelled, "Do you even love him? Hell, do you even know what love is? You disgusting beast!"

Hotaru's hand cracked across my face, and the whole world crumbled with her harsh touch.

Misaki

I raised a brow. "Youichi, what're you looking for?"

"I could ask you the same thing," Youichi responded, annoyed as he hustled through a pile of his clothes. "It's gone!"

"What's gone?"

"The chain . . . Mikan gave me . . . for my birthday. The one I promised never to take off."

"Sorry," I said sympathetically and growled outloud, "Where the hell is my dagger?"

Anna

"That little bitch," I moaned, turning on my stomach. God, I can't even have wild sex cause of that little-

"Anna, are you in here?"

"Nonoko?" I asked wearily, trying to block the fatigue that altered my senses. Nonoko popped her blue head from the doorway and frowned as she assessed me with her own baby blue eyes.

"Where's . . . Yuu?" I asked, fighting back tears. Yuu had been so stressed lately, he didn't even bother to visit me at the hospital. It was like he didn't care. Tears sprang to my eyes at the thought, but I forced them back. Nonoko sighed, running a hand through her hair.

"Sorry, Anna, I have to go,"

"Wai-" I started to say, but she already left. I needed to tell her something, I needed to tell Yuu. But it looked like everybody was busy. And they left me here, alone. The weak one.

They didn't even listen to me.

I didn't realize tears were running down my cheeks. I brushed them away with my fingers, and a strange sob tore through my lips.

I clutched my now empty, flat stomach. It was fatter before, when that bitch called me fat. Truth was, I was actually fat then. But when she threw me against the wall, it fell down.

On my stomach.

It killed the baby inside.

My baby. Yuu's baby. Our baby. And nobody even knew. Nobody even cared that my baby died.

I don't even blame that girl. I did fight her. But she killed my angel.

And nothing was left of me now.

Koko

He fired. Glass pieces shattered, making an awful noise under the moonlight.

He heard a growl and a gasp, but wasted no time spreading his huge white wings and glided through the air as fast as a bullet and into Mikan Sakuras room.

He saw her, tied to a chair. Wow. This was easy.

He sighed as he picked up the chair. She was asleep like a log, and it seemed like it would be easy, but a bullet clipped his shoulder.

Unfazed, koko turned around with the same emotionless look on his face.

"You thought it would be that easy?" Hotaru raised a delicate brow, a smirk lighting her face. "Get ready, buster."

"I don't have time to play with you," Koko said in a blank voice as he took out a golden necklace and teleported to Heaven. It was his only way of escaping. Hotaru swore loudly.

"Oh, and we've got Ruka Nogi, too," Koko's voice echoed. Hotaru's eyes widened.

"No . . ."

Mikan

I felt dizzy. Blood pounded through my head, and I could practically hear my heart rate increasing. The unfamiliar yet attractive scent of cologne was in the air, and my head rested against something soft.

I looked up and came face-to-face with a pair of krystal blue eyes.

"Who are . . . you?" I asked weakly, coughing.

He didn't even glance my way.

"Tell me . . . who you are . . . De . . . mi . . . god," I strangled out, noticing how large his white wings were.

"Oh, you've heard of me?" he asked blankly.

"K-Koko!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide. The fun-loving cheerful Koko from school. It had to be him. But there was something very odd. He wasn't smiling.

"Yeah," he muttered. "Sorry Mikan, but some things have to be done. Whether I like it or not."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Heaven."

At that time, I felt the bond rip at me more painfully than ever. I was torn between two worlds. I belonged in Heaven. But my heart was still at Hell.

"Koko, take me back, now,"

"I'm sorry."

"Ruka, Youichi, Misaki . . ."

"Misaki and Youichi are dead, Mikan." thousands of needles spintered my heart when he said that. He protruded two items from his pocket. One was Misaki's dagger, the one she treasured and never went anywhere without, and the other item was a chain. The chain I gave Youichi for his birthday, the one he promised never to take off. They were both covered with blood.

"How?" I whispered meekly.

"You can't trust Demons, Mikan." was Koko's reply. I didn't need to hear the rest. My heart was breaking more than before.

He lied.

He cheated.

He broke my heart.

He never loved me.

And I knew that I was alone, then. My world spun around me, and then it felt like the earth was cracking. I couldn't feel my body anymore. I was surrounded by a white space, floating. I floated peacefully, calmly, until the white walls started cracking.

It shattered into pieces, and I could only utter one word to express my pain.

"You lied."

Ruka

I didn't want to hear anymore. I tried pushing the words out of my head.

"Ruka, baby, she lied," the green haired woman sighed, tossing her green perms. "Don't you get it? She never loved you! All she did was use you for blackmail and money!" she cried, tugging at my arm.

"No!" I snarled, breaking free of her grasp.

"I thought this would happen," she sighed. "Ruka, babe, I think you need to see this, hun."

She reahced into the pocket of her miniskirt and vrought out a picture.

I gaped at it in shock. It was her-the raven-haired Demon who captured my hands, in the grasp of a similar-looking man, smiling. She never smiled like that. Not around me.

I felt a sinking despair grow inside me and I clutched at my blond hair. I didn't notice what happened next, but the green haired girl sank a needle into my arm and made my surroundings bleed away.

I sank into the darkness. I felt cold, alone. I felt empty. Something was breaking. The ground shattered into pieces right before my eyes, and then I felt nothing.

And then I was falling. Drowning. The darkness was devouring me.

I didn't resurface.

Even my wings couldn't flutter. I felt them changing.

From white to black. My heart from light to heavy. I didn't want to awake from this sleep.

I didn't want to face reality. Because I knew I couldn't accept it. All I saw in my head was a pair of lovely violet eyes . . . fading . . . bleeding away . . .

Somewhere inside me, I felt as if I were still falling.

"You are now one of the fallen, Ruka Nogi. One of the ones that are forever banished from Heaven and into Hell."

Author's Note: I felt as if Ruka being the weak, skinny guy was just wrong for my story. And you have to admit, Hotaru doesn't treat him right. I am not standing here just letting poor Ru-chan get bossed around. He has to hate her at some point.

Mikan thinks Natsume just used her and killed her brother and sister. But you all know he didn't. Koko was lying. And that green haired bitch was Sumire. Now the hard part is, how'll they get back together?

A lot of complications . . .

Oh, poor Anna. She lost her baby.
