Yeah so, I still don't own Angel Sanctuary. Thanks a lot to kaochan and Isabel for reviewing! ^_^ In this chapter Katan kind of gets beat up just to warn you. ^_^;; Hope you like it! ^___^
"Rosiel-sama, I'm so glad you have returned."
His arms tightened around my waist as he lifted his face to mine (he looks so beautiful, oh God his lips…), placing a soft kiss on my right cheek. He pulled back and smiled at me (if only he could stay like this).
"I'm glad to be back, I've missed you-both of you."
Kyrie moved between us, giving Rosiel-sama a worshipful look. Shunned a little to the side, I regarded them both. Yes, I believe my suspicions of Rosiel-sama's feelings towards Kyrie were correct. He's pleased that she missed him and is overjoyed to see him (the feeling of a master to his pet dog?), but there's nothing in his expression that says she's the least bit important to him. How could she be when there are so many willing people to adore him? …How could I be?
"Oh Rosiel-sama it feels like ages since you left! I've missed you so much!"
He smiles and slips his arm around her waist and delivers another of his sweet kisses onto her cheek. She looks euphoric with happiness (I must have had the same look). He then stepped back and observes us both contentedly (…for now…).
"Where did you go this time Rosiel-sama?" (I already know the answer)
"I went to see my sister."
Kyrie glared at me (I can't blame her, I know what's going to happen) and then quietly slipped out of the room. Rosiel-sama was taking off his coat; I moved to help him and then hung it up. It was a new one, long, and made of black leather (I wonder if he got it from one of his pawns…). Swiftly I turned to him.
"Rosiel-sama…don't you think we should return to heaven now? Your sister is not a threat and…"
I trailed off; he was silent (please don't let him be angry). He gave me a warning glance before striding into the hallway. I watched him for a moment before walking after him (maybe today he'll see reason).
"Sir, please-"
He came to a sudden stop, and glanced over his shoulder at me. His eyes blazed with insane fury (why must I always push him…?) He was still beautiful though (I think its impossible for him to be anything but beautiful), however, his eyes always scared me when he sunk into insanity. 'Eyes are the window to the soul' whoever said that was right, oh my poor Rosiel-sama!
"Enough Katan! I'm tired of your constant questioning!"
"But-"
I was cut off as he slapped me hard across the face (and so it begins again…). The all to familiar sting coming to my cheek. Damn whoever did this to him!
"I said enough! How dare you be so disrespectful!"
Another slap, this time on the other cheek. I stared meekly at his feet, not daring to look in his eyes. He held up is right hand, preparing to use his power on me. Suddenly I felt stabbing pains all over my body. The pain was excruciating. I fell to my knees, choking out cries of agony (…I can taste blood…). It felt like an eternity before he stopped his assault. I slumped forward, coughing up blood.
I knelt there, shaking slightly and breathing with difficulty. Then tenderly his arms enveloped me. I cautiously raised my head to meet his gaze (such a gentle look; ah yes, this is the Rosiel-sama I know…and love) He softly brushed away a tear, only then did I realize that I was crying.
"Forgive me Katan, I know you mean well. But you must trust my judgment; I know what's best…I must deal with my sister before I return to heaven. It will only be a little while longer, I promise. Then we will once again grace the heavens with our presence. Will you trust me?"
His eyes were so serene and concerned, I felt myself getting lost in them (amber, such a perfect color). His arms embracing me, holding me close against him. This was all the heaven I needed…for now.
"Yes of course Rosiel-sama. Please forgive me for upsetting you."
He smiled lovingly at me and murmured something about; of course he'd forgive me. I was to caught up in my emotions and thoughts to pay attention to his words. After many a soft caress and sweet kiss, he stood up, pulling me along with him.
"Tell me Katan, am I still as beautiful as when I shone in heaven?"
"Yes, Rosiel-sama. Your beauty has no rival."
He laughed happily, enjoying my praise. Then giving me one last tender kiss, he walked away. I stared after him, my heart full of anguish. Isn't there anyone who can help him?
