Chapter 4

The battle raged on for many hours until both opponents were bruised and bleeding.

Angel lunged with a blow that would have sent Devil flying had he not blocked it with his wings, he then swung his leg at her shins but Angel jumped clear in time.

Devil suddenly came to the realisation that, atom by atom, his power was leaving him; it was getting close to sunrise.

'No more messing around,' he said. Angel tilted he head to one side,

'Messing around?' she questioned,

'Give up the act, you know as well as I do that this is less than half of what we're capable of.

This ends now.' and with that he sent her crashing into the stone floor with a single kick; but Angel was soon on her feet, her pristine skin was now blotched with blood. She drew one fist back, her face contorted in pain as she stretched her beaten muscles, while Devil, standing ahead of her, crossed his arms and sniggered. Visible power was now circling Angel's shaking fist, an arrow ready to launch from the bow. Within the blink of an eye, Angel had, somehow, along with her fist, shot straight through Devil who was now collapsing on the floor,

'Kazuya!' shouted Angel as she ran to kneel down beside him, she placed her palm gently on his chest, not a scratch, but Angel was sure she had gone straight through him, how could this be? Although still alive, Angel could feel that he was weaker and had to restrain herself from using her powers to heal him. How she wished she could rid herself of her own wounds but, just as a doctor cannot operate on himself, neither could she heal herself.

Angel hugged Devil close,

'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me, I'm sorry' she whispered through tears. But she could not see Devils eyes flash open.

As Angel held him close to her breast, Devil's hand slid slowly up her spine, Angel did not notice until he grabbed one of her wings; she dropped Devil's body in horror to see a disgusting grin plastered on his face. Devil sprung off the cold stone of the floor and flapped into the air, dragging the struggling Angel behind him. Once in the air he tightened his grip, crushing the delicate feathers of Angel's wing and began to spin her around in the air! Faster and faster for what seemed an eternity to Angel, she cried out as she felt her wing tugging at her spine, faster and faster until, finally, a blood-curdling ripping sound echoed across the castle. The pain was like nothing Angel had ever felt before, it was worse than having a limb ripped off. She screamed and tears fell from her eyes like water from a fountain until she crashed into the ground. Devil was left clutching her wing, torn and mangled.

Angel choked,

'Oh, Kazuya. why?'

Devil swept down to the ground and touched down next to Angel who was writhing in pain. He simply snarled and said,

'My name is Devil!'

By now Angel had risen shakily to her feet and was reaching out to an invisible source for support. Devil flew swiftly across the hall and took a run at her, his horns aimed at her stomach but Angel, weeping with the pain, had enough sense left in her to block the onslaught with her remaining right wing. Angel pulled back her wing to see Devil with one fist tensed and ready, energy surging around it. Angel knew this was it,

'Why?' she repeated once more, and, before she had time to leap clear, Devil had spun, knocking her legs off the floor, then, with the agility of a cat spun up to meet her bared chin with a fist, sending her unconscious into the ground. Angel's body fell to the floor like a ragdoll. Devil landed beside her, her looked over his shoulder to the sky, as blood red as Angel's gaping wound,

'You asked me why. . . .

. . . .why not?' and with that Devil began to focus all of his remaining energy into his third eye, the glowing red crescent that signalled death for Angel.

Devil crouched down besides her, using every muscle in his body to concentrate energy on this one spot. he sat there for as long as he could until the sun's rays were already clambering over the horizon.

It was time. Devil stopped collecting energy and looked down upon the beautiful form before him, his only love and his only hate. He was ready to fire.

Suspense! Will he kill Angel?! Sure he's evil but is he really that evil?! Only I know the answers and I'm going to let you stew in your anxiety. MWAH HA HA HA HA!

Well, actually, I doubt my writings good enough to leave you in suspense, you've probably all already guesses what's coming next and are snoring away with your head on the keyboard as we speak, oh well.
