Chapter 16 - The real identity of Tsukasa
Tsukushi's POV:
'Did I hurt you last night?' Tsukasa asked when he saw that I woke up. I shook my head shyly, unable to accept the fact that I was no longer a virgin. He and I made love yesterday, and it felt good. It felt good to be part of him now. 'You should get some more sleep. I'll wake you up before your mum comes to your room.'
'What about you? Don't you need to sleep?' I asked dreamily.
'Actually no. I normally work 24 hrs a day,' he replied.
'Don't you need to work now?'
'No. I'm on leave from yesterday to the day after tomorrow. Enough of talking, you better get catch some sleep or you be tired when you reach school.' I nodded before I went back to sleep.
*****************************
'Tsukushi, wake up or you'll be late for school.' Tsukasa called out sweetly to me. I opened my eyes lazily.
'Can't you just let me sleep for another 10 minutes?'
'Sure if you want your mum to find you naked in bed.'
'Fine. I'll wake up now.' With that, I got out of bed and then dressed up for school.
'Tsukushi, you are up early today,' Mum said as she entered the room just after I got dressed. 'You even made your bed. I'm surprised.' I smiled.
'Yup. Because I miss school and I can't wait to go back.' The truth is Tsukasa made the bed. We had sex on the bed and I can't let mum find out that her daughter had sex in her room with an angel of death. It will freak her out and drive her to her grave.
'Breakfast's on the table,' Mum said. I went down to the dinning room, eat my bread, drink my milk and left for school.
'Bye mum.'
'Wait Tsukushi, you almost forgot your bento. What's that black thing on your forehead?'
'Black thing?' I said as I used my hand and swept across my forehead.
'Nothing. Go now or you'll be late for school.'
'Thanks mum'
**************************
'Tsukushi! It's great to see you back in school.' Sakurako said as hugged me.
'I feel great too,' I answered. It's good to be back home. I missed my school terribly although I fail most of my exams.
'Hey, haven't seen you for two days and you look different now.'
'Different? How different?'
'Well, you look more womanly now.'
'Really?'
'Yes. Here comes Rui, let's ask him if he thinks you look different. Rui, don't you agree that Tsukushi looked different?' Rui came over and looked at me. Then he frowned slightly.
'You sure look different. You look more like an adult now,' Rui said. 'Anyway, can I talk to you for a second?'
'Sure.' I replied. Rui stared at Sakurako, hinting to her that he wants to talk to me privately. Sakurako got the hint. She pouted but left us alone to talk.
'Where were you last night?' Rui asked.
'I was at home. I went to bed early last night and I have never left my home.'
'Really? Then why did I fail you track you with my powers?'
'Perhaps it's the spell.'
'What spell?'
'Nothing,' I answered. I couldn't tell him that Tsukasa and I made love yesterday night.
'WHAT?! You and Tsukasa made love in your room last night?! How can it be? Tsukasa is dead.' Great, I forgot that he could read my thoughts.
'He was dead. But he became an angel just like you.'
'An angel? It can't be. I have never in my whole angel life heard anything about Tsukasa being an angel.'
'There are so many angels, you can't possibly know all of them. Besides, he is slightly different from you.'
'How different?'
'He is known to mortals as an Angel of Death.'
'Say that again.'
'He is an Angel of Death.' Rui paused.
'Tsukushi, stay away from him,' Rui warned.
'Why?'
'As far as I know, there are no angels who work for Death itself. Death is evil and we angels do not pledge loyalty to him.'
'but I love him and I'm his.'
'Tsukushi, you have no idea how dangerous your situation is. You have Tsukasa as an Angel of Death with you. For all you know, Tsukasa is Death itself. Remember about the curse? You are one of Soujirou's descendant and Death will look for you for revenge.'
'Tsukasa will never hurt me. He loves me.'
'Stay away from him. Better be safe than sorry Tsukushi.'
'No I won't. You are just jealous of him.'
'why would I be jealous of him?'
'Because I love him and not you. That's why.'
'Trust me Tsukushi. I'm not jealous of him. I just don't want you to get hurt.'
'I won't listen to you!' I yelled then ran off, I was about to leave the classroom when Tsukasa came.
'Tsukushi, why don't you listen to Rui?' Tsukasa asked.
'Because he lied. He said that you would hurt me.' I answered.
'You should listen to Rui, Tsukushi. Angels never lie,' Tsukasa cracked. I looked at Tsukasa. In his eyes, I could no longer find the gentle Tsukasa I knew. It was as if he was a changed person.
'So Tsukasa, you are indeed Death. If you are here to claim Tsukushi's life, you will be disappointed 'cause you are going back empty handed,' Rui said. I looked at Tsukasa and Rui. What is this? I have been cheated by Death?
'No, I'm not doing that yet. I enjoy her company last night. Her moans and groans. You should see how bitchy she was last night.' I was bitchy? How can he use such a word on me. I thought he loves me. 'I'll made love to her again and again till I'm tired of her.'
'Shut your mouth up. I will not let you insult Tsukushi like that,' Rui shouted.
'You are in love with her aren't you? However, you are too late, Rui. She is mine. Mine to torture!' Tsukasa laughed.
'You won't get away with this!' Rui retorted as he changed into his angel form. He took out his sword and pointed it at Tsukasa. Tsukasa smiled coldly. He did not fight Rui, instead he changed into a mist. The mist surrounded me and took all the oxygen away from me. 'Tsukushi!' That was the last thing I heard.
