Angel Wings and Demon Hearts
Chapter 1
*~ DarkÕs POV~*
Hell was a lonely place, IÕll try you that. You couldnÕt trust your own shadow, much less another demon. I suppose I was lonely. I had position, I had looks, but maybe all I wanted was friends. Someone I could trust.
Was it foolish of me to come here? I had my powers and With so I guess thatÕs all that matters. I mean, With is my friend, always have been, as we demons werenÕt blessed with wings of our own like angels do but still. With couldnÕt talk much when he transformed into me, and his creature form only said, ÒKyuu.Ó With is a friend without words; I wanted a friend with them.
So now I was on Earth, banished and nowhere to go. All I could do was wander the streets of this city, and only With by my side. Quite depressing donÕt you think?
*~ KradÕs POV~*
Humans are filthy; they kill, lie, and have great wars for the stupidest reasons. Mortals are stupid; because of them I am now exiled to their realm. A waste really, I had a high rank; IÕm handsome, not to mention I was popular. Do I sound conceited? I donÕt think so, but I was exiled for the silly reason Kami thought I was.
He was jealous of me. I hate him. I hate Earth. I hate humans. And I especially hate the bubble headed angel following me. He follows at a distance, trying not to be seen or his aura felt, but I know heÕs there. Do you really think a low rank angel could hide himself from an angel of high rank like me? Of course not. And bubble head to top it all off. But he was one of KamiÕs favorites, and both are weak hearted fools.
After I was exiled, Kami must have sent this angel to follow me, to make sure IÕm Òadapting well to EarthÓ. Both of them were pathetic. ÉWhy donÕt I give his angel something to chaseÉ
*~ DarkÕs POV~*
I sat beside a large and beautiful lake, simply staring at how the setting sun danced upon and reflected against itÕs surface. With wonÕt come near me, obviously scared of drowning but I donÕt mind. I enjoyed where I sat, sorting through my thoughts. An entire day had past, and I still had nowhere to go, hopefully tomorrow I can find a human who could take me inÉ if they could trust a demonÉ
Behind me there was a loud noise, like two bodies slamming into one another. There was a loud, ÒKyuu!Ó and an equally loud, ÒGeh!Ó Sighing, I stood and walked over to With and whomever he had encountered.
As soon as I appeared behind some trees With flew at me, nuzzling into my chest. I held him steady with one hand and glanced at the human.
He would sure pass as a demon, I thought, slightly amused. He had large crimson eyes like With and I, but had shocking crimson hair, strange features for a human boy. He blinked at me, obviously he felt my dark aura, and humans seem to have a strange ability to feel a presence of an angel or a demon. ItÕs not like they can feel where you are but they feel comforted if an angel is nearby, and uneasy when a demon is around.
I expected him to run screaming but he simply stood there, staring at With and I. Finally, he asked, ÒIs your rabbit alright? I think I scared him. UmÉ it is male right?Ó
I blinked, surprised to say the least, he looked about 14 yet he had a childishly innocent trust. Then I laughed. ÒNah, heÕs just shy, here,Ó I said as I held With out to the boy.
He reached out slowly and gently stroked With behind the ears. At the touch With gave an affectionate ÒkyuuÉÓ making the boy smile. He looked at me and tilted his head. ÒArenÕt you going to go home? ItÕs late,Ó he said, the sun long gone.
ÒAh well,Ó I shrugged my shoulders, ÒIÕll stay here thanks.Ó
ÒÉÓ The boy regarded me silently, With nuzzling against him, ÒYouÉ were you exiled here?Ó
Ah, so he knew, I thought, course he did, heÕs just trusting. ÒYes. Are you scared?Ó I asked, grinning, a mask I have grown accustomed to, it had been my only survival in Hell. Right now, I was afraid to lose this new companion that trusted me despite what I was.
However the boy smiled. ÒNo,Ó he said, ÒYou seem lonely. ItÕs the only reason youÕd come to Earth right? DonÕt you have any friends?Ó
ÒNo,Ó I put one hand on my hip and leaned on my left leg, watching the boyÕs face look troubled.
ÒYou can stay with me and my family!Ó He said finally, smiling sweetly, ÒDonÕt you want to come too Usagi-san?Ó He looked down at With who kyuued. Brightening, he smiled at me, ÒDo you want to come tooÉ ano?Ó
ÒDark,Ó I said returning his smile, ÒMy name is Dark, and thank youÉ if I knew your name.Ó I teased feeling my smile go wide as the boy laughed softly.
ÒMy name is Niwa Daisuke,Ó he turned and started walking off toward the city, ÒKaa-san always loves company.Ó And smiling softly, I followed.
*~ KradÕs POV~*
He was such a fool. But despite that he can fly very well and was actually advanced in magicÉ if he could remember how to use the spells. But for the last couple hours I have been trying to lose him but he is persistent, and has kept up with me. Finally, I dove down into a dense forest and he followed, just like I expected of him. I swerved through the dense trees and smirked when he still kept up with me. Purposely, I slowed my pace and let him come too close. At that moment, I whirled and hit him back with an energy beam.
He flew from the impact and slammed into the ground. Struggling to stand, he only succeeded in lifting his head weakly before falling unconscious. I could kill him now, I thought to myself as I stared at him in this weak state. ÒBut what would be the fun in that?Ó I spoke aloud and smirked. ÒIsnÕt that rightÉ Tenshi?Ó
A simple name for a simple angel. In heaven, he use to follow my every move. He adored me, he looked up to me, he was a friend to meÉ na•ve fools like him deserve the second death.
The second death is frightening for both an angel and a demon. Humans never have to worry, when they die, they can be resurrected and live again but the second deathÉ You are destroyed. Your body, soul, and very existence are erased for all eternity. So you see, God could have destroyed me but heÕs too soft, because he wouldnÕt be able to stand losing me.
I sat beside TenshiÕs limp form and watched his sleeping face. I glanced down at the gold armlet covering most of his arm and frowned. But I reached out and healed Tenshi, there will be another time I can kill him, its more entertaining to do when he is in perfect health. Finished, I stood and unfolded my wings, took one last look at Tenshi and flew into the night sky.
AuthorÕs Note: (again) Hai~! ThatÕs it for the first chapter. Gomen if itÕs too short, I wanted to end it where Daisuke introduces himself, but I felt that was too short and added Krad and Tenshi as well. Please enjoy this story! ItÕll all make sense later okie? Thank you!
