Ok, I'm going to updating even less bcause I have a job now. I'm sorry. I'm going to make this chapter as good as I can. And has anyone ever played Silent Hill? Great game. Just thought I would put that out there. Ok, here's the story.
Pride moaned in pain as Humility pulled off his other wing. What would he become now? He was a wingless angel. He has seen what happens to angels who lose their wings. It's not fun to watch. It can make the most powerful demon cringe and even vomit. The results are devestating. Pride knew that he would be able to prolong those effects because he was strong, but in the end he would only be extending his inevitable demise. There was nothing to be done now. He would simply wait for his fate. He curled into a ball on the floor. He clutched as his back hoping to feel his wings. They weren't there though. They were gone. It was impossible for him to deny it. The pain was enough proof.
"Please! Don't give up!" someone screamed.
Pride turned to the voice. It was the young girl, Keiko. She was really a nice girl. He liked her. Don't give up? How could he not? His wings...they were gone. He couldn't live at all. But then he thought...was she talking to him or the fox demon? If the ruler of hell was going to die...the fox would have no chance.
"Please!" Keiko bent down and touched Pride on the face. She traced his marks with her hand. A tear fell from her face onto Pride's. "You are the ruler of hell, aren't you? You can't die. What would happen to hell? You have to survive. I don't know what happens to someone who loses their wings but...you can get through it. You can make it. And so can Kurama. You can't let him die."
"It's hopeless."
Everyone turned toward the voice that said that. It was Hiei. Humility stood behind him. In Hiei's hands was Pride's long, leathery wing. "When an angel loses it's wings...it's tragic. Their wings are their life force because they protect them from diseases and bacterias. If the wings are torn off then the angel is susceptible to all kinds of sicknesses. Some of these are illnesses that only angels can get. One of them is one that eats away at the brain until the angel loses its senses and pretty much makes it go insane. Eventually he dies from that sickness and all the other ones he recieves. Kurama won't make it if he gets these sicknesses. But it's inevitable. We failed him. And as punishment we'll watch him die a slow, miserable death." He threw the wing on the ground in front of him.
"Don't say that!" Botan yelled. "He'll be ok! We can't lose him! We just can't!"
"Don't you see? He is already gone! He won't survive! It's over! We would be showing him mercy if we killed him right now!" Hiei screamed at her.
"But..." Botan started.
Humility put a hand on Hiei's shoulder. The fire demon shook it off and walked away from him. Humility just smiled. He walked over to the wing Hiei threw and picked it up. "Is Hiei the only one here who sees the truth? He's right. The fox demon won't survive. I do apologize for that. Our mission is to kill the sin not the sinner."
"Sinner? Kurama is not a sinner! He never was! He's probably the most pure out of everyone here!" Yusuke yelled.
"Then why were the sins attracted to him?" Humility asked calmly.
Pride then sat up on his knees. Keiko touched his back to help. She felt the warm blood and took her hand back for a moment. But then she touched his back again. This could be the last time she ever got to touch Kurama. Blood wouldn't stop her now.
"You're wrong." Pride said. He gave a weak smile. "There are two people who inhabit this body, the human, Shuichi, and the fox demon, Yoko Kurama. The one you see now, this red-headed boy is Shuichi. We were attracted to Yoko Kurama and the sins he had commited when he was still his own person. But the demon has been cleansed greatly because of Shuichi. You should have realized that. You virtues are the ones who are sinners."
"It is true that the demon has been cleansed because of the boy, but it is also true that the boy has been tainted because of the demon. Stop trying to make yourself out to be noble." Humility answered.
Humility feel to the ground. Hiei had hit him with the hilt of his sword. Unfortunatly, the angel did not pass out. He stared at Hiei with wide eyes. "You stop making yourself out to be noble." Hiei said. "If you were noble you would never have torn off his wings in the first place. You simply would have punished him. To be broken on the wheel, am I correct? Instead you make an innocent boy suffer. He never asked to have all these demons take over his body. He has strong power. More power than you will ever hope to know."
"Kurama..." Kuwabara whispered. There had to be some way to help him. Then it hit him. She came before...maybe she would come again. Kuwabara ran outside. No one really noticed with everything going on. Humility stood and extended his wings. No one really noticed how large they really were.
"This is the thanks I get for getting rid of these sins. People nowadays have no respect for us." he said shaking his head. It was just then that Kuwabara came back.
"She came!" he yelled.
Love walked into the room and gasped at the sight before her. She was wearing a tight, green dress with sparkles on it. Her hair was in a high bun and she had green high heels. "Humility! What did you do?" she ran over to Pride and looked at him. He was already being infected. Love shook her head angrily. "You said you wouldn't take his wings, Humility!"
"I don't have to explain myself to you." he said.
"What happened to you..." she said.
Botan ran to Love with tears in her eyes. "Can't you help him? We don't want to lose Kurama. Please, tell us you can help him! Can't you attach his wings back like you attached his arm?"
Love looked at her sadly. She regretted giving her the answer that she did. "I'm sorry. I can't."
"What! Why not?" Kuwabara yelled.
"He is in the form of Pride right now. I can't heal sins. All the times I healed him he was either Yoko or Shuichi. A sin hadn't emerged at the time I healed him. I can't heal Pride." she answered.
"Well, let him change back into Kurama. Heal him then!" Yusuke said.
Hiei didn't want to hear anymore. Didn't they know it was impossible? Love shook her head at Yusuke.
"I can't. If he changes back to Kurama then I can't attach his wings back on. Those wings only belong to Pride, not Kurama. I'm sorry. I can't heal him." she said.
"I can..." someone told them all.
"Envy!"
I apologize...I didn't proofread. I am very sorry if there are an overabundance of errors. But is that better than before? Let me know.
