Chapter 4

Michael fumed as waited for the High Council's orders. He didn't like to be kept waiting for too long. It was getting on his nerves. He paced back and forth trying to hold himself back from doing anything… damaging.

Raphael watched Michael pacing for a few minutes before deciding to look anywhere else because of dizziness.

Suddenly the doors opened and Michael was called in. "It's about bloody time!"

Before Raphael could follow Michael in, the doors closed. Michael looked behind him, finding it strange that the High Council wouldn't let Raphael in. He looked up and found the twelve zodiacs and several guards armed and ready to attack.

"What's going on?" Michael said confused.

"We are truly sorry, Michael but this is the only way."

"We have found it necessary to get you out of the way."

"You were a very valuable asset to our army. We regret to say that the only way to destroy his fighting spirit."

"For the greater good, Michael, you must die."

"Execute him."

"WHAT?!"

The guards fired as Michael blocked them with his power. There was a blinding flash of light and Michael shielded his eyes. When he opened them again, he found one of the zodiacs looming over him with a large weapon poised for the kill. Michael drew his sword to defend himself, although knowing that trying to do that was only going to prolong his death. He got knocked onto the doors as the blow came. His sword fell as he slumped down, his body hurting. He could hear Raphael banging on the other side of the doors as well as trying to use his powers to get to him.

The zodiac came in closer this time, to really kill him. Michael closed his eyes and resigned himself. Aniki… I… Then a vision flashed through his mind. Aniki… I love… no… it's too late now…

He waited and waited but the blow never came. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see the back of a man he had just been thinking about. Speak of the devil…

Everyone looked on in shock at the sight of Lucifer, formerly Lucifiel the Morning Star with his usual smirk. The zodiac fell apart with a snap of his fingers as well as several other people. There was as riot to get out. Everyone became suddenly afraid of Lucifer's ire and was trying to get away from it.

Michael merely stared up at Lucifer, paralyzed and shocked. Why? Why is he here? What in the world is he doing? Aniki… What kind of game are you playing?

Lucifer merely smirked at him. No one noticed it but as people were trampling all over each other, Lucifer and Michael disappeared.

*                *                *

The decent to Hell was uneventful. Michael barely moved as he let Lucifer carry him in his arms. He remained silent the entire time, mulling over his thoughts and feelings. There was something missing from him. He just realized it. The reason he felt that his life was going nowhere was the part of himself that he tried to throw away. Pyro…

Upon reaching the Lucifer's abode, Lucifer set Michael down and drew him in for a kiss. Michael let him and kissed back, savoring the feel of Lucifer. Michael sighed in disappointment as Lucifer pulled away.

Lucifer turned around and walked into the large hallway. Michael stumbled after him. It was dark and several eyes peaked out from the darkness. The feeling of being watched by all those sinister looking eyes gave Michael the chills that he unconsciously entwined his trembling hand with Lucifer, trying to gain at least a little comfort. Lucifer looked down at Michael who was glancing around nervously like a little kid and smiled.

When Lucifer stopped, Michael looked up and found large doors with strange intricate designs just right in front of them. He wanted to ask Lucifer just what was behind it but he said nothing. The doors opened of their own accord. Michael scanned the entire room and his eyes rested on the altar where Pyro was laid.

"You should know by now what to do."

Michael looked up at Lucifer and nodded. He walked over to Pyro, whose eyes just fluttered open and smiled at him. "You've finally realized it… I am the part of you that rebels against the rules set for all angels to follow… the part of you that wants nothing else than to be with him… There's no escaping it, this feeling… You deny it. That's why…"

"I know." Michael smiled as he took Pyro's hand and Pyro turned to a mass of energy and flowed into Michael. Michael fell to his knees and hugged himself. His body wasn't mature enough to absorb this energy into his system.

Lucifer walked over and picked him up. "Don't worry. Give your body some time to adjust. Until then… Let me help you get your mind off that…"

*                *                *

Raphael fumed as he and the rest of the angelic army flew down to Hell. How in the world could the High Council let that happen? How could they let Lucifer capture Michael?! He looked over at the zodiacs warily. I wonder just why, with all of them present that they let Lucifer do this? Why did Lucifer go all the way to Heaven just to get Michael? Then he looked down determinedly. Don't worry, Michael. I'll save you…

*                *                *

Michael arched and moaned in pleasure as he came in Lucifer's arms. He had forgotten just how many times they've done it. He held on tightly to Lucifer shivering as he rested his head on his brother's broad chest. He couldn't say that his brother had a broader chest now, especially after his body finally matured after their first… He blushed at the thought. He had looked at the mirror. He really did look like Lucifer after all. Well, except for the fact that he had red hair, only one pair of wings and a dragon tattoo, otherwise, they'd be exactly identical. Well, that's what twins are, aren't they? He sighed contentedly as he snuggled up closer to Lucifer and drifted off to sleep.

*                *                *

Lucifer smiled to himself at the sound of Michael sighing contentedly against him. He had finally gotten what he had truly wanted all this time. Michael, fully and completely his… He was about to close his eyes and rest for a while when he sensed something and his mind went at full alert.

Belial appeared on the mirror and said, "My Master, your guests have arrived…"

*                *                *

Raphael surveyed the surroundings, looking for any strange movement from Hell's army. He didn't get just why there wasn't the least bit of resistance on their way down there. Now he knew. The entire demon population of Hell (except for the remnants of the Gehenna Empire) was concentrated three levels before Lucifer's palace. He tried searching for any trace of Lucifer there but found no trace of him whatsoever. Just then, the entire army moved, charging towards them!

This is unexpected… How in the world did they know that we're right here? He thought as he braced himself for the impending attack.

*                *                *

Lucifer smirked as he sliced several angels into pieces all at once. Not bad… Considering that he'd become a little bit rusty from being a human being for so long. Not that being human was that bad. He found human life quite amusing and entertaining especially his life as Kira Sakuya. Too bad… he enjoyed it quite immensely. Oh, well…

He sliced and diced several more angels before he found a few demons being blown away. He stopped and smirked and was glared at by none other than the archangel, Raphael.

*                *                *

Michael stirred from his slumber. He yawned and stretched then he stopped. He looked around worriedly and found that Lucifer wasn't anywhere in sight. He quickly got out of bed, donned the clothes Lucifer left him and tried to get through the mirror but he was thrown back.

Che! This can't be… Aniki no baka… I have to be there… He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then charged at the mirror, casting a flame shield around him. I'm coming…

*                *                *

Lucifer evaded Raphael's attacks easily, enjoying the fact that Raphael was getting frustrated by all this and the fact that Raphael knew that he was merely toying with him.

Eventually Raphael was beginning to tire and his attacks came at him at a slower pace. He took this moment to hit Raphael and throw him to the ground. Raphael growled up at Lucifer as he tried to stand up but his legs wouldn't move. He sadly thought. This is it… Mika-chan, I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you…

Lucifer drew out his blade and was about to run Raphael through when a flash of red went in front of him.

*                *                *

Michael panted heavily, ignoring the shocked expression on Raphael's face and Lucifer's blade just right in front of him. I made it! When he finally caught his breath, he said, "Lucifer… please don't… I…"

Lucifer gave him a slight nod then lowered his blade and sighed exasperatedly and left to kill other angels instead.

Michael sighed in relief. Raphael looked at the entire exchange in disbelief. Why would Pyro save me? This must be some game…

"What game are you playing, Pyro?" Raphael asked weakly.

Michael looked, arching one eyebrow at him. "Pyro?" He grabbed Raphael by the collar and shouted, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN PYRO, YOU WOMANIZER?! IT'S ME! MICHAEL!!!" Then he dropped Raphael and crossed his arms in annoyance.

"Michael?" Raphael looked confusedly at Michael. That dragon tattoo… that attitude… that scream… the temper tantrum… Then he threw himself at Michael, hugging him tightly. "Mika-chan!!! I glad you're all right!" He pulled away and looked closer at Michael. "What in the world did you have? A growth spurt?" he asked incredulously.

Michael pouted and said, "Is that so hard to believe?"

"With you, yes!"

"Che!"

Then Raphael stopped and said, "Let's get you out of here before Lucifer decides to capture you again." He is stopped when Michael grabs him by the shoulders.

"Raph…" Michael began,  "I'm not going back." Raphael looked at him, wide-eyed. "Lucifer, he… he didn't capture or kidnap me. I let him take me… I… I really love him… you have to believe me… I don't want to go. I DON'T want to leave him. I know it sounds so selfish of me but please, I won't be able to bear being apart from him again."

"Mika-chan…"

"And besides, the High Council wants me dead. They even called on the zodiacs just to kill me! I can't let them do that. I just can't!" Michael was shaking in fear.

Raphael's expression softened and he hugged Michael tightly. "I can tell you must really love him so much. He must love you back to get such devotion from you… Then… If you're going, then so am I!"

Michael stiffened and looked at him incredulously, "What?"

"I'm going with you. I'll protect you and the happiness you've finally found," Raphael grinned.

"Really?" Michael smiled.

"Sure! What are friends for?" Raphael shrugged.

*                *                *

Hours later, the angelic army retreated, suffering heavy losses from the battle. Michael and Raphael were standing in the distance, watching them as they go.

"You don't regret it?" Michael asked.

"Do you?" Raphael asked back.

Michael shook his head. Then there was only silence between them after that. A flutter of wings reached their ears. Raphael looked behind them and saw Lucifer, walking closer to them. Michael did not look at him. He concentrated on the retreating army. But he lost his concentration as soon as he felt a pair of arms wrapping themselves around him tightly. He sighed as he leaned on Lucifer's hard, lean body. Another flutter of wings was heard. Raphael had taken the cue to leave them alone.

"I want this to last forever…" Michael murmured.

"It will if I have anything to say about it."

There was a hint of emotion in Lucifer's voice. Michael noted it but said nothing about it. He just smiled to himself, knowing what Lucifer truly felt about him.

Lucifer cupped his chin and drew him in for a kiss. "What are you smiling about?"

"Oh, nothing." Michael gave Lucifer a knowing smile.

"You do know that I will eventually know whatever you're thinking right now."

"I know." Michael grinned.

Lucifer opened the portal that led directly to his room. "Let's go back and see the damage that you've wrought in my room."

Michael blushed sheepishly. "It's your fault. You shouldn't have trapped me there in the first place."

Lucifer held out his hand and Michael placed his on it. Lucifer pulled Michael in his room to retire and other things…
