Author's Notes: Thanks for the reviews everyone!!!


To: Yoko Shinamori: Thank you for your review and idea, but I've still got my ideas in my head. It was really imaginative though. Have you thought of writing your own fic? ^_^... just no plagiarism from my story(ies) please.


Please enjoy this next chapter all!

A Devil's Halo
Part 13: The Prologue of the War




~*~




"You truly didn't think that you could get away with it did you?"



Tai glanced around the little fiery room. A tips of a flame licked his skin, and he quickly jumped away from it.



"You thought that I would just let a soul escape from hell after all my hard work at trying to get to you to bring a soul down here in the first place. You are still such a sinner Otrisaki. Admit defeat. You brought yourself to come here from the beginning and you can't just take yourself out of it because some bitch taught you how to love life again. You've already had a chance to live, you killed yourself so boohoo. Do you know where your little girlfriend by the way?"



The eyes were burning at his forehead. He could just feel the intensity of it all. A human really didn't have a place here in hell yet. Only a soul could stay down here, for if he stayed there any longer than an hour he was sure to be toast. Literally. Besides that... Sora. He had no idea where she was. That little minion ass of Oni.



"You really have no idea do you? Well... since you've been sleeping for the past day, she went out of her way to buy you some medication for that cold you've got. How would you like it if she just accidentally got smashed against a car window because she wasn't looking both ways? How would you like it if I sent you back there on earth to see your dead bitch? How would you like it?"



Tai closed his eyes. He had no power. How in the world was he supposed to go against Oni? How in the world was he supposed to leave hell and save Sora.



"Besides. All the sins that Sora has been doing were things that she had gone against from the ten commandments. She disobeyed her mother and hadn't gone to confession for it since. How would her soul ever be pure enough to go to heaven if she hasn't gone through confession? Well at least you two will be stuck down here in hell together!" After that, there was the most cruel laughter that no man in this world had ever heard of before. The only creature evil enough to create such a laughter was Oni.



'Sora...' Tai thought. His anger was flaring up inside him. Suddenly, he felt his eyes turn a few degrees warmer.

Sora walked silently down the side walk, holding the medication for Tai in her hands. 'I hope he gets better after I give him this... He won't have the strength to fight Oni if he's sick...' she thought.

"Do you want to watch Otrisaki?" asked Oni.



Tai glared at the demon ahead of him. "Don't call me that. That was the name you gave me as your minion but I refuse to go through that same mistake! And leave her alone! It was me you wanted! Well you've got me, just leave her alone!!!" he yelled.



"I've said to you before that hell wasn't receiving enough souls. Why else do you think I want to kill that little slut of yours?"



"Don't ever call her that!!!"



"Oh... there she goes... crossing the street... hmm... Which car to choose? The old volkswagon or the bus? A traumatized old man, or a traumatized group of people...? This is easy..." he said ignoring Tai.



The teen stood up from his spot on the ground and walked straight towards Oni. "You've picked the worst time to fool around with Sora's and my life..." he said.



This was the first time that Oni turned to look at Tai ever since he dropped back to hell by one of his minions. His eyes widened.



Tai's eyes had a powerful red glow to them... even all around his body. Oni was horror struck. He had never felt the aura of so much power from a minion before. Especially a minion who was supposable in his human form.



"I've been waiting for so long to tell someone this... After telling you that you should leave her alone..." Tai said flickering his eyes towards the ground, then towards Oni once again. "I told you so."

Author's Notes: I know that it's short, but I had to update soon. Plus I needed the action to happen in a chapter with different contents it in. Author's Mind argues: No... she just actually wanted to put a cliff hanger ^_^.


I hoped that you enjoyed!!! Now it's time to write down your thoughts and feelings... go on. We didn't go to english class for no reason! Exercise your writing skills. Please review!
