Access' POV
I had finished the invitation. Staring out the sincere grandeur of shimmering twilight at the bloody horizon, I was deep in thought. Surely Sindbad would come to take the challenge. All I had to do now was sitting and waiting for the drowned dimmed sun. The beauty of the Earth was the thing I came for. I would take over the world for Maou-sama. I didn't remember how I vowed. All I knew the reason for my presence right now was for Him only.
Suddenly I could see the flash of green lime rustling tangled hair. My head and chest went savage as if I was stormed by curse. It exasperated me so much and worsened as I touched the ground of Sapphire Earth. I couldn't obtain my memory since it was forbidden for Maou-sama but I could feel a weak little warm light inside my heart. I shook my head to shove it away and leapt from one of the highest roof to the other roof. I could see where was one of the real beauties in this Land.
The treasures of human were their pure heart but they never realized it so they never protected it tightly. It was so easy to disrupt their heart with a tint of evil power. I lowered my head and looked at my hand. Probably they were stained with tears, sins, darkness and pains. I slyly smiled debauchedly.
Heart was making the human race to be so weak. It was so evident. To even deem about it, disgust me to Hell. Love was the magnificent lethal still human was fooled and believed for something that took their lives. I took a glimpse at the reincarnation of Jeanne D' Arc and Sindbad. Like the other human race, they would lay down their own lives to Maou-sama's hand to their unknown. Human were so legible like an open book.
Suddenly I could see someone darted to my direction. He was totally black when I was wearing purple most. His shoulder length hair dangled as the moves of Kami-sama's sigh. He was so old fashion as if he was from primeval period of France. I cast a glare at him and a little useless dragon as the sign of my chagrin and concealed half of my face in the dark.
" What do you want, traitor?" I didn't even care about his presence. He was once the Demon Knight that also vowed to be loyal to Maou-sama for his wish. I didn't even care what his wish was. " Luckily I am not feeling like to fight with you. Maou-sama gives me an order to condemn you to mitigate death. You're not a good opposition. I'll save you for later. "
" Access Time. Have you forgotten about your disgusting identity? Have you forgotten about your smell of Heaven to talk like that to me? " He replied me with a sharp words. I glowered and retorted.
" I don't know who you are talking about. I have no time for you right now. Would you please go from my sight? "
" How dare you to speak like that to my Noin-sama! " The little dragon boy looked so angry.
" You don't even seem scary, little dragon. " I chuckled with evil attention. It stuck out its tongue. I glared impassively.
Noin pointed his forefinger on my face. I wasn't that easy to be provoked then I waited for his attention for his courage to appear in front of me. He would counter his death later or not.
" You're Access Time, the kuro tenshi. "
" Oh, please for your dilly dally. Thanks for not-even-funny joke. I have business to attend."
" DO you remember Finn Fish? "
Suddenly my heart rang loudly like a bell with pain like knife.
" Or, Nagoya Chiaki?"
" Stop it."
" Jeanne?"
" I said stop it."
" Nagoya Natsuki?"
" I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!! "
I huffed so heavily. He looked so pleased to see my wounded face. I didn't know why those names could hurt me like this. Those annoyed me so much that I started to lose y dignity. I would certainly take his breath away from him. I stared deadly but he still stood calmly. Oh, really. I had to shoo him away or I would fail in this mission. Maou-sama would be displeased.
" Shut your mouth right away, you dumb. Try to speak more, I'll not spare your life even for second."
" Don't humble my Noin-sama!! "
" Silence you good-for-nothing dragon. " I glanced him coldly as he froze at Noin's shoulder. He looked hurt. As if I care……
I leapt from the roof and took my feet to one of the pure beauty ornament where the pretty heart dwelled in. I wouldn't lose to a Sindbad.
" Noin-sama. Why don't you shut his mouth? " I heard the protest of my little frustrating slave scowl.
I stared far away where the young lad, the ex-angel ran. Mumbling something that only came out as the soft whisper, I answered back inaudibly.
" Because he is stronger, even without Maou-sama's added power. Maou-sama probably knows about his strength that he tries to possess him. Maou-sama doesn't know his power yet when Finn Fish is under his grasp. Within a short span of time, he gets himself reincarnated from the low class."
" It's impossible. Then Jeanne and Sindbad would not be able to defeat him? "
" I have promised to protect her, no matter what. " I simply smiled to the limitless sky as I renewed my vow once again. Like a shadow on Earth's consuming darkness, I ran toward the unseeing future.
***********************************************************************************************
" Do you really think it's okay? "
" Don't worry, my love. I shall return with him and for our daughter's sake. "
" Father………"
I lifted my rosary and watched it. It had been so long since I transformed and wandered on the moonlight. Once I became the sovereign night with Jeanne, the mysterious thieves who stole the fake beauty of devil. There was always a purple ball light beside me and worked as my partner. I never thought that I would have to fight with him.
Maron stared at my deep blue eyes with envious. " I wish I could help you, Chiaki."
" This is for the best. You don't have to put yourself in danger anymore. " I smiled.
" But………"
" No buts. Time is almost coming. Please take care of Natsuki, ne?. "
Suddenly Natsuki came between us. " I'll come with you! Please, father………"
" Natsuki, It's dangerous. You should protect your mother here."
" You're not protecting my heart form anxious, Chiaki. Please. Let us come. "
" Maron-san! "
Maron shook her head. " Please Zen-kun. I couldn't just wait here wonderingly. I am talented with gymnastic skill. I once is Jeanne! I know perfectly how to defend myself! "
I sighed contently. She was so persistent. " Like mother like daughter. "
" What do you mean my that!!?" My lovely wife shouted at the same time with my little girl. I chuckled and asked Zen-kun to transform by a simple gesture. His orbs in his forehead glowed with dimmed light and stored the power. I could feel the power engulfed within me that was felt so familiar.
I left the kitchen with black shadow under my eyes. I had dried my tears until nothing more to be shed. I shove my amethyst hair from my wet face.
* Shinji……..*
He was so annoying when he was at home. He was so energetic, TOO ENERGETIC. I had to pick him up at Maron's house every single night. He had a crush for Maron's daughter. She was pretty I could admit. And I could see a good future from the way Natsuki looked at him. But now he was nowhere. Maron had told me anything, about the past of those little angels. I couldn't believe that I pregnant an angel that was once close to Maron and Chiaki.
I didn't tell anything to my husband. He didn't seem care either. He was too distracted to his sadness for losing his only descendant. He was also so happy for having such a jovial boy. Well, I started to miss him. The way he made me busy, the way he laughed that cherished everyone's bad day were no more but memories. I tried to be strong still I felt lost. When he suddenly was absent from this house, this house felt like haunted and eerie with the awkward silence that echoed to the whole apartment.
Suddenly I could hear footsteps from outside. When I opened the door, I could see the whole of Nagoya's family were running to the elevator. Then I saw something that was so long not to see. Sindbad! Chiaki was on run again, but why? I could hear the rustle of the trees. My feeling wasn't right. I knew I had to follow them. I took my leather chestnut jacket and wore my shoes. Probably Yamato would come home another hours. I still have time before his arrival.
I took the elevator when my heartbeat was heard so loudly.
The black shadow ran from one roof to trees and concealed the silhouette. Then on an amusement park he went and stopped on the streetlamp, which cast out glimmering rays, waiting for us. He smirked evilly, showing his fang. He threw a card with a simple writing. The same font with Sindbad's announcement card. Father grabbed it easily with solemn face without even caring to see it. He flipped the card and read the writing.
" Tonight, I'll take the beauty of lady's pure heart with me. "
" What does it mean? " Father watched it curiously. The words were so simple without any hint. Suddenly I heard the rustle of the green bush. We were so shocked to see that Miyako-baasan trailed over us. She lifted her head helplessly. Her eyes glinted with certain happiness. I knew it was so dangerous for Miyako-baasan to be here. But I hoped she could help us in reverting him back to the usual teen.
" Shinji? " She tried to reach her son by spreading her hands. Maron tried to stop her, but Father stopped her. Maybe he was also thinking the same like me. We wished that she could turn him back. It surely could work. Shinji's face winced a bit. I felt a hope had fluttering its wings. But suddenly he laughed that rang so eerie in such a sleepy calm night. He pointed his forefinger at Father and shouted.
" Sindbad, GAME START! "
He gracefully jumped over Miyako-baasan and touched her ribbon. That was the purple ribbon that he gave to her two years ago at Miyako-baasan's birthday. He asked me to go with him to choose the present. It was quite embarrassing for him to go to such a fancy shop. Miyako-baasan seemed wearing it often for Shinji's delight. He emitted such a dark light and stained it to black.
" I'll take the beauty of your pure heart. " he whispered gently beside Miyako's ear.
Mother ran toward Miyako-baasan. Her body fell limp. Her eyes closed tightly like a sleeping beauty. " Miyako! Miyako!! " Mother stared at him with curious questioning look.
He smiled darkly. " If you don't seal me before the first morning sun rose from its slumber, she will remain like that forever like a lifeless vessel. She would be unconscious forever with the curse eternal beauty with her. "
I glared angrily at him. How could he did this to his own mother?!
" Why are you doing this to your own mother?! " Mother looked so depressed and cried. Her tears were spilled out like a stream from her eyes.
" I never remember of her being my mother if I could ask your pardon. " His eyes were so dull without any regret.
My eyes widen. Maou-sama even erased his mother from his memory. Father screamed angrily aimlessly.
" Maou! I won't forgive this!! Come out like a man! "
" Chiaki………"
With a sudden gust of wind, Shinji leapt again and wandered around the sleeping town. " Remember. If you fail, she would sleep forever! " Then he lost in darkness.
" We'll capture him surely, Maron. I'll also make sure to smack his head to regain his memory if it's necessary. "
" Chiaki………"
I became silent, letting the wind waved my lime shining silky hair.
" What's the matter, Natsuki?"
" If………if you seal him right away, what would happen to him?"
" That is………" Mother looked at me with doubt. Suddenly a little angel that was nowhere to be seen before popped out. He was hiding since he couldn't endure the evil's power.
" He would die. Nothing more nothing less. As you suck his evil power, it goes the same as if you suck an angel's Holy Power to zero. If God salvaged him, he would be able to return to Heaven. If only………But God has lost his power. And the chance is so slim. Probably he would cease to nothing. "
" Zen-kun, is there no other way?!"
Mother went to my side and rubbed my back. I felt numb. He will cease? I would never able to see him anymore? Forever? I held my tears and swept the droplets of diamonds from my eyes.
* I won't cry………..*
* I want to be stronger………*
" Natsuki? "
" I won't let him die."
I countered Zen-kun and held his little body and fragile wings. " Is there no other way? "
He shook his head disappointedly. Then he smiled sadly as vague as the misty night. " Please believe. Then Miracle might happen……..Miracle for your strength………"
" Believe…….."
I watched Miyako-baasan' sleeping form and vowed quietly. " Miyako-baasan. I'll protect him this time. "
// Let the prayer echoed across the centuries…….//
// The Limitless Holiness shall come forth………//
// Belief shall become the courage and lend the power.//
// To overcome anything……..//
Well, not much to talk beside REVIEW PLEASE! The next chapter might a bit sappy. I warned you.
