Okay, read please and review! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Usagi and the others walked home from school. Rei and Usagi were having another argument when everyone stopped. Usagi turned around and the Black Moon Family stood there in civillian clothes. "Demando?!" Usagi said loudly and he out a finger to his lips.
"Shh! Do you want everyone to know about us?" He asked urgently and she looked sternly at him, almost coldly.
"What do you want?" She asked and everyone nodded from behind her.
"We just want peace okay? We're coming here for a truce." He put a hand out and she just looked at it.
"A truce? How can I trust you?"
"Well, for one, I sacrificed my life for you. And if nothing else, I still love you, even if we're not meant to be. I wouldn't ever hurt you and I would hurt anyone else who did." She blushed alittle and Mamoru just watched.
"Okay. You get one try. Betray us and you're out of here forever."
"We solemnly swear we will not betray you." Tenshi said. "I haven't even gotten to know you yet. I'd only betray you if I hated you and from what I've heard, you're a very nice woman." She put out her hand.
"I'm sure you know all of these clowns." She said, jabbing her thumb behind her and Usagi nodded. "Usagi Tsukino."
"Tenshi Hinote." Tenshi laughed when she looked at Demando's pleased face and put an arm around Usagi's shoulders.
"You should see that guy sometimes." She said as they continued to walk. "Great description of you."
"Don't you dare Tenshi-chan."
"Eyes like the deep clear sea and hair like the golden sun streaked with the beauty of all of the universe's treasures." She laughed and Usagi giggled. Demando looked enraged and embarrassed at the same time. "That's not even all of it! 'Her smile is like a sweetened rainbow, her hands like delicate glass. She is the ultimate treasure of the universe." She sighed and batted her eyelashes.
"Ain't he cute?"
"Oh, like your little poem about Rubes-kun?" She stopped in her tracks, clenching her hands.
"You read my diary?! If you say one verse of that poem, I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!!!" She screamed and he smiled, running ahead.
"His hair is like the everlasting flame, burning for eternity upon a gentle saddened face." He began and she ran after him.
"DEMANDO!!!" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Demando walked into their newly rented apartment, battered and bruised, Tenshi looked embarrassed but pleased, and everyone else just sat down on the couch. Tenshi immediatley and plopped onto her bed. Rubes-kun followed in soon. He closed the door behind him and sat gently down.
"Anything wrong?"
"Bored." She replied simply. He nodded and locked the door. He then layed down beside her, a mischievious smile played across his lips.
"We could keep ourselves amused." She rolled to her stomach and frowned. He looked at her.
"Listen luv. I don't think we should see eachother like we do."
"What?! Why not?!"
"I'm just not ready for this yet. You've been my friend for awhile and I just need some time to adjust."
"But Tenshi." His face turned from gentle and sad to angry.
"Be that way!" He yelled and smashed his lips against hers. She kneed him in the stomach and shoved him off, reaching for the door. She opened it and touched her lips. She almost immediatley jerked them away. Her eyes narrowed to yellow gleaming slits.
"That's it! It's over Rubeus!" She yelled and slammed the door. She grabbed a sweatjacket and ran outside, leaving everyone to wonder what happened. Rubeus sat, crying into the bed. He was a monster. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tenshi thrust her hands into her pockets and walked around in the light rain. She felt so pure now that the rain had slipped around her body. She felt clean again. She frowned. He was such a bloody jerk. What had she ever seen in him anyway? Good looks? Kindness? Humor? He obviously didn't have bloody brains! Not even the idea of his hollow head brought a smile or smirk to her lips. She had been forciblly kissed and nothing could ever remove the scar in her heart. She had told herself she should leave him. And she had and it had only been worse. Bloody world. Bloody gods. Why did this happen to her? She would never wish it upon her most hated enemies. She looked at the ring on her finger, tore it off with slight trouble, and threw it to the ground to leave. She stopped and retrieved it, but just shoved it in her pocket. It wasn't because it was from him that she kept it. It was just pretty.
I don't love him. I don't care about him. Maybe if I keep telling myself the bloody lies I'll start to believe it.
Tenshi sighed and looked around her. She knew where she could go. The one place nobody would come to. They still had a home on Nemesis.
The palace formed infront of her and she took a step to the ground, the black lightning disappearing. She walked to her room and plopped into her comfy chair. She retrieved her sketch pad, flipped to the page with her picture of Rubeus on it, and almost ripped it.
"Why can't I do it? Why can't I rip this bloody picture?!" She yelled. She threw the sketch pad out of the room and stormed away. Where else could she go? There was one place Rubeus didn't even know about.
Rubeus looked around the palace. He hated to, but he could at least apologise for his earlier outburst of desire. He had already checked everywhere inside, now it was time for outside. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tenshi sat, her feet dangling in the water, her denim pants rolled as far up as they would go. Rubeus didn't know of this place. It was her own personal spot. Everywhere else were places she would go with people to. This was an alone place. She could already hear him trying to get through the forest and smirked at his attempts. She had always been able to get through fast but she had waited for him. She wasn't waiting for him now. was she?
She paused as it flashed in her mind.
She sighed at her own attempts to make herself hate him. It wasn't working at all. Why the heck was he here anyway?
"Rubeus?" Tenshi's voice echoed.
"Tenshi? Where are you?"
"I'll come out when you tell me why you're here."
"Because I have something to say. Something important." The tone of his voice ripped at her heart and she came out slowly, barefoot.
"Yes?" She asked.
"I'm sorry." He said and smiled gently. "Forgive me?"
"No."
"What?!"
"You expect to say sorry and then everything is okay?! Do you know what you did to me?!" She yelled. She ran back to her hiding spot, grabbed her shoes and ran away from him.
"Tenshi!" He yelled, trying to catch her. He stopped at the edge of the forest when she had almost reached the castle.
"Tenshi." He whispered. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Stupid bloody fool!" She yelled, forcing her shoes onto her feet. "All he ever does is think of himself!"
"I think about you a lot too." He said from the doorway. His eyes and nose were slightly red.
"Have you been.?"
"Crying? Yes."
"But. why?"
"Because I need you."
"Oh luv." She said, thinking of a new nickname.
"Spike. We just can't be together right now." He smiled at his newest name.
"Well, Slayer, then I'll just have to torture you until we can."
"Just watch out for the stakes." She smiled. They both loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Maybe they wouldn't end up as Buffy and Spike did.
"And don't call me 'Slayer'! It's Buffy!"
"Whatever you say Slayer." She threw her hands into the air. Just because they were just nicknames, these felt like real names to her and she took offense about it.
"Listen Spike." She said.
"I'm listening Slayer."
"We just aren't meanto to be right now. Give me some time to adjust, and who knows? Maybe I can learn to love again."
He disappeared and in a flash, his hands slipped behind her back.
"But I need you now." He whispered, taking a deep breath of her sweet smelling hair. She let her arms dangle at her sides and refused to give in.
"Come now luv. You said it yourself. Woman throw themselves at you."
"I was lying."
"So what? Go amuse yourself." She laughed gently and disappeared, her lips centimeters away from his.
"She's teasing me." He said aloud.
Tenshi heard his last words and smirked.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She smiled sadly as she reappeared in her room. She rubbed her eyes as they burned from the saltiness of tears. She blinked them away. She refused to cry for him. How she longed to be held in his strong arms again, to here his voice whisper those three little words. She shook it from her head and sat down to type again. She seemed to do a lot of typing these days. It soothed her pain and let her do something useful. Maybe someday she would let others read it, but not now. It wasn't even completed yet. She definatley was going to complete it first. She sighed and heard Rubeus shuffle around in his room. She smiled and locked the door. No one was going to bother her right now. She sat down once more and typed.
^She thought she could escape it all but she was wrong. Tenshi was far from the truth, buried in the blackness of her own fears. What was wrong with her? How could she still love Rubeus after that kiss? He had forced himself upon her, and yet she still yearned for the lips again. For the strong arms to wrap around her, and for the heat of his body be right next to hers. "Why can't I say those three little acursed words?" She wanted to know. Why couldn't she say 'I love you'?^
