Chapter 7a ~ "Of Deamon and of Arie"
~~~~~~
Arie: So, it's now time for chapter 7.
Skuld: Am I in it too?
Arie: We'll see, I'm going to try and concentrate on the 'bad guys'.
Skuld: Calesta? Ew! He's mean! Forget him!
Arie: But the readers need to know why he's after me.
Skuld: Why is he anyways?
Arie: [grins] Read and find out!
Skuld: On to Chapter 7!
(Oh! And I'm working on a site, where I'm going to be putting up pictures of all the characters, including some that will be in the OAV's. Can't wait! ^-^)

At the Temple Forest:
Perched up in a tree, he kept a close eye on Arie and Belldandy as they sat in the garden. It wasn't as if Belldandy's wards kept him away, it would only warn them of who was coming, But he just wanted to catch her off guard and kill her then.
Kill her...Kill her..
He hated her for who she was. She had slipped through his grasps once before, and she will never again. He can not fail, not again.
He watched on the Goddess of Moments, his teeth searing. Moments. He remembers when he was a demon 3rd class, sitting there at a table and entering the dreams of the desperate that would give anything to save their should or sell their souls to have a better life. The ones that sat before him, tortured till there was little left but flesh and blood and broken bones. And all they could do was call out for their loved ones.
From the beginning of time, mortals held on to the moments that were precious to them, and then escaped the pains of loneliness and death. And now, thousand years later he stared at the Goddess the represented the very things that he hate. Love, hope, emotions in general. Hope. She represented hope, giving those damn mortals something to hope for, as if it couldnÕt get any worse. But now it will. His mouth twisted in devilish delight as he thought of her blood spilling down his hands at deaths watch. He will kill her. And he will wait, for now.
Arie then got up and disappeared into the trees, as he blinked his eyes. Belldandy Called after her in vain.
"I wonder.." Calesta followed the brushed by trees from a distance, using his sixth sense to locate her. They were still within the temple grounds, and he dare not trigger them, yet. He then spotted her in a tree in the corner of the temple.
"So easy, it would be so easy."
But he waited and watched.
~~~
Arie sighed as she pulled her knees close. Shivers ran up her spine as she knew that someone was watching. Turning to a corner, she stared at the direction that Calesta was hiding. But she saw nothing. But she knew that someone was there.
"Arie-Chan?" A voice came from behind, Arie turned around with a fireball in her hand, Lightening sparking out of the glow. It disappeared as she saw Kyozetsu floating in the air.
"What are you doing here?" She asked as he sat down on the branch beside her. The tree barely swaying under the weight.
"I got the feeling your a bit bummed out so I thought that I might pop by and make sure your okay."
Arie smiled, "I'm fine, just needed a break, that's all." Kyo raised an eyebrow suspiciously, causing Arie to giggle softly.
"Are you laughing at me?" Kyo looked shocked and hurt. Arie just smiled at him and shook her head.
"Fine. As long as you are okay."
"I'm fine. Now what other business do you have here?" She poked at him, and he blushed.
"Well, I heard that Belldandy's cooking is fabulous.."
They continued to chat away like old friends as the cranks in Calesta's head started to turn.
~~~
"I know him, but from where?" Calesta brooded as he looked on Arie and the other god. He then sat in the tree, and watched as they laughed.
"Kyozetsu, God of Patience. now I remember. Arie's childhood friend and confidence. Maybe." Calesta looked on the two blonde haired god/dess. Pondering the fate of the two friends. Could he really get to Arie through him? But how, that was the questions. It was undoubtedly that he was just as powerful as she is, if not more.
He seized up his opponent. If he was willing to protect her, then he was also the target. But was he willing to protect her, or will he step by.
Maybe it was time for an invasion.
Calesta licked his lips as he saw a bolt of Ki energy being fired in his direction.
~~~
"Come out, you Demon, or whatever you are." Kyo yelled as the trees bursted into smoke. As it cleared Arie stood beside him with her ball of fire and lightning, and Kyo with his own Ki ball. A man's form silhouetted in the smoke, as his chuckles filled the air. He had sandy long hair and a long face, and formal type of war armor. Calesta.
"You think that your pitiful energy balls can defeat me? A Deamon?" He laughed as Arie's eyes turned to fear, and Kyo clutched his teeth, stepping in front of Arie. Calesta laughed again.
"Get out of here! You don't belong here!" Kyo yelled.
Calesta smiled, "But you see, She belongs to me, and hence I am allowed her. Not welcomed, of course, but she is mine. And you can't stop me."
"If you want her, you have to go through me." Kyo pulled out a sword that glowed with celestial energy.
"Very Well." Calesta opened his hand to the two, and a sphere surrounded Kyo.
"No!" Arie yelled as she jumped towards the sphere as it disappeared out of her reach, and out of site. Arie crashed to the ground, forgetting that they were fighting in the trees. Looking up, with dirt and tears, she saw him float down to her. Bending down he took her chin in his hand and looked her in the face.
"Next, it will be you." And with that he kissed her forehead and disappeared, Leaving Arie fallen on the ground. Darkness surrounding her, as the only scream, or whisper, called for Kyo and Belldandy.

Arie: I know know that this is confusing and short.. i apoligize.. my characters ran away with me.. Part B will be up soon. *mumbles about how lousy the chaper is*
