Up Where I BelongTakao was scared out of his wits. The last encounter he had with this boy was short, but for some reason, he had not liked it. Something about him...
He could sense the dark aura that this boy was giving off. Needless to say, that didn't calm his nerves. No, instead, it only made things worse. He took a few quiet steps back from the boy so that he was able to keep his distance. Or so he thought.
Apparently, this boy had other thoughts in mind, for as soon as Takao backed away, he did the exact opposite. He stepped forward.
Three steps did this boy take before Takao was in the same position as he was in the beginning. //Great. Just great….// Takao thought.
Takao backed...into a large stone. //I can't run and I can't hide. SHIT!//
He stared up at the boy with wide, scared eyes. His lips remained smirking.
"Wh-wh-what do you wa-want?" Takao stuttered. For in a situation like this, it was hard for him to remain calm.
"Stay away from everyone," he said in a low voice.
"Excuse me? Why?" Takao was now curious about the order he was just given. As if he should follow an order from someone he didn't even know!
"Stay away," he repeated, though in a more demanding tone. "-Or else-."
Before Takao could comprehend what he was saying, a fist collided with his right cheek. The pain was short, but intense, none like anything Takao had felt before in his years of the living.
"-Or else-," He repeated in an even lower voice.
"Al-Alright," Takao choked out, rubbing his bruised cheek.
The boy smirked once again, and with a nod, he flapped his wings and took off into the sky.
As he faded from sight, Takao thought he heard the word -mine- being whispered into the night. He shook it off as his imagination. But was it?
Takao examined his surroundings once more. Where was he to go? He didn't know a thing about this place. Come to think about it, he didn't know a thing about the other place.
//Great….// he thought.
He began walking forward, seeing it as the only sensible direction to go.
//Maybe I'll find somebody that can help me,// he thought, momentarily forgetting the warning that the boy had placed upon him, but when it came back, he groaned. Now he would be stuck in this place with no one to help him.
//Being dead sucks.//
**********
Rei stared at the last place he had seen Takao. Why did -he- have to be the one pulled down into Daheriki? Why not himself?
Guilt was plaguing at his heart for not being able to rescue the boy from the clutches of the dark angels. Why hadn't he tried harder? Why? Why? WHY?
//He probably doesn't even know how to fly. He can't escape from that hellhole unless someone goes down there to rescue him.//
It clicked in Rei's mind all at once. -He- would have to go down there and rescue Takao himself. And with a determined expression set on his face, he dived into the clouds, not knowing the dangers that awaited him; though Rei did not seem to care, for his mind was set on his main goal.
**********
Walking, walking...and walking. He had been walking for who knows how long, but he didn't mind. For his mind was preoccupied with thoughts. Specifically, thoughts on a certain blue-gray haired boy with blue marks on his face. He didn't want to obey his orders, but he was scared. He was scared of this boy, and of what might happen if he didn't obey. Takao shuddered as he thought of all the possibilities, none in his favor.
Unknown to him, four pairs of eyes watched him with dry amusement.
"Meow, who's that tasty, pure, white angel hm?" a girl with pink hair said in a tone that would make you think that she was going to...rape you. (AN: Don't worry, the ratings not going to change!)
"I don't know, but whoever he is, we'll give him a surprise...-welcoming- ne?" said a guy with black hair in the same tone as the girl.
All of them nodded in agreement, smirking evilly. Then, they directed their attention back to Takao, who had finally decided to take a short break. Too bad the poor boy didn't know of what would be awaiting him in the future. For if he did, he would have been smart and ran. Ran like he had never ran before.
**********
//Man am I tired. It wouldn't hurt to take a little break…// Takao thought as he settled down on the surprisingly cool, rock ground.
All the scenery he passed as he walked looked the same. Dry, dark and gloomy. It saddened him to think that he would never see a beautiful thing again. All because of his stupid lack of knowledge on how to fly.
He looked up at the dark clouds. If only he could fly through them. Fly, and go back to that wonderful place where he was able to pick up bits of cloud. But as Takao gazed at the dark clouds, and their hypnotic movement in the air, he soon found his eyelids sneaking their way in. He fell into a dreamless sleep.
**********
Kai sat on a rock, high above the main ground, watching, or rather spying, on Takao. He wanted to make sure that Takao stayed away from -everybody- except himself.
He didn't know why, but the mere thought of having someone, other than himself of course, near Takao made his blood boil.
Hell, the only thing he knew about Takao was his name, but that was only because he had heard a whisper of a name known only to his ears. He had guessed that it had been his name. It was all very peculiar, seeing as how they had only met a few hours ago. And here he sat, watching. Watching the boy as he rested his eyes. He looked so peaceful and angelic.
//I will make sure that no one comes near him. For if they do, they will find him with broken bones and blood-stained clothes the next time they see him.// With that thought in mind, Kai smirked
