An angel for a demon
The younger boy had already awaken, and was sitting at the table in the living room while sketching a little drawing.
"Morning," Ryuuji said, as he walked into the room, running a brush through his hair.
"Good morning," Noa said, looking up at him.
The older boy threw the brush onto the sofa, before grabbing his coat.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"School."
"It's a Sunday."
"I know."
"Then.. why?"
"I didn't say it was for school." He reached into the closet and pulled out a spray paint can.
The angel blinked, before giving Ryuuji a dirty look. "That's not nice."
"'Nice' is not in my vocabulary."
Noa stuck his tongue out at Ryuuji, then goes back to his drawing of what appears to look like a kitty.
The older boy looked over Noa's shoulder. "You know, that would be much cooler if you made it without it's head..."
Noa picked up one of his shading pencils and chucked it at him.
Ryuuji laughed, dodging. "Oo! Noa, you're bad! You're gonna go to hell for that!" He pulled his hair back, sticking a rubber band that had been around his wrist in it, before heading to the door.
Noa stood, leaving his drawing to follow the older boy.
The older boy looked at him. "What?"
"May I come with you?"
"You want to come with? To spray paint vulgar disgusting phrases on the school walls?"
"I would not like to participate, I would like to watch. I do not like being home alone.."
"You do realize if we get caught you'll go to jail, right? Doesn't your god send people to hell for that?"
"No, he doesn't..." Noa muttered. He shook his head, before running off into his bedroom to retrieve a little plush black and white kitten. He took his seat back at the table, this time cuddling the little stuffed kitten as well.
Ryuuji rolled his eyes. "Fine. Cuddle with your cat... where the hell did you get that, anyway? You didn't have it last night."
Noa thought for a moment, wondering what to say. "It was.. in my school bag..." He stammered.
"You carry around a stuffed cat in your backpack?"
The angel stuck his tongue out again before pulling the kitten to his chest protectively. "His name is Ryuuji," He told the boy before kissing the kitten's nose.
"You are one fucked up little school boy."
Noa looked up at him, blinking. "Doushite?..."
"You are the only person I know who names stuffed animals. I burn them."
Tears came to the younger boy's eyes as he cuddles his little kitty closer, scared.
Ryuuji only shook his head. "Are you coming or not?"
"Will Ryuuji get hurt?"
"I'm not even going to bother answering that."
The angel pouted a bit.
Snorting, Ryuuji walked out the door.
The younger child looked at his kitty happily. "I've forgotten his name, Ryuuji. But we have to stay with him while we search for Mutou Yuugi. I'm sorry." He cuddled the kitty. "He's not a very nice boy,"
The sound of the older boy's car starting up was heard from outside.
He got himself situated after finding the pencil that he'd thrown at the other boy, then began to finish his drawing of his kitty, this time giving the little cat a pair of angel's wings.
At about 9:00 at night The front door finally opened, revealing Ryuuji, who was grinning like mad.
The younger looked up from his place on the couch, where he was holding his kitty up by it's front paws. Amazingly, the angel had managed to keep himself entertained with a stuffed cat for hours on end. He smiled and looks at the kitty, before running up to Ryuuji and hugging him. "Look, Ryuuji!" He cried, holding the kitten up and letting go of the black haired boy to dance in a circle. "He's home!"
Ryuuji snorted. "Stop calling the cat that."
Noa stopped in his place to give the older a confused look. "But... it's his name. It has been forever.."
"Its my name. If you don't stop, I'll rip its head off."
"I - it is...?"
"What, are you stupid? You live with me and you can't even remember my name?"
He took a step back, looking at the ground as he held his kitty. "I'm sorry.."
"Whatever. Don't bug me. Going to jail puts me in a bad mood."
"Jail?" The angel asked.
"Yeah, you know... the place where they lock up people who do bad things. With bars and no windows and crappy food. I'm lucky they only put me in for three hours, instead of three days."
"Oh...." He trailed off. "...Ryuuji -- I mean, my kitty..." He began again. "Wonders if it was cold."
"The cat doesn't talk. And yes, its like being inside a room made of ice. Where is your so-called-god's justice in that?"
"But it's for people who do bad things."
"And people who are accused wrongly. There are thousands of people who are innocent and go to jail. And its not like they treat the people nicely or anything. You know how many fucking times people get raped in there? I'm just one of the many fucking victims."
Noa blinked, taken aback. "Rape..?"
"Yeah, when someone forces someone else to have sex. And it doesn't just happen to bad people. Where is your so-called-god when women get raped and killed?"
Noa's arms fell and he almost dropped his kitty. "I.. I don't know," He whispered.
Ryuuji sent him a glare. "Good. Leave me the fuck alone." With that said he turned, stalking over to his room, gripping his anti-cross tightly.
The angel glanced at his own cross, then went over to the couch and holds his kitty quietly, bringing his knees up to his chest and beginning to cry.
No one had ever told him of such bad things, and he'd been scared before, but more now from what the other had said.
"Noa," came a voice from behind him. The angel who had given him the assignment, Honda stepped in front of him. "What are you doing?"
He looked up and shook his head. "N - Nothing..."
"Exactly. You should be following around Mouto Yuugi. And why are you in the house of someone who worships in Satan?"
"I had no where to stay.." The angel began.
"You could have picked anywhere else."
"He offered it to me."
"That doesn't mean you had to take it."
"Are you mad?" He asked quietly.
"Yes, I'm mad!"
Noa hugged his kitty close and whimpered. "I'm sorry," He tried. "Please do not be mad..."
Honda was about to say something more, but he disappeared when Ryuuji stepped out of his room.
The black haired boy gave Noa a strange look, before looking at the floor. "Why... is there a feather?"
The young boy blinked and dived for it carefully. "Um... a bird... flew in..?" He pointed at a window nearby.
"The window is closed."
He looked at the kitty. Holding him up, he said: "Kitty says he was invisible," Then, he pulled the kitty back to his chest in fear of it's safety.
"I swear, if you don't stop talking to that thing..."
"Please do not hurt him."
"'Please' does not work on me."
His eyes widened and he cuddled the cat further. "I am sorry I've upset you."
"Whatever. Are you hungry?"
The angel shook his head. "Iie."
"Good. Even if you were I wasn't going to make anything." Ryuuji sat down on the sofa, pulling up the pillow and hugging it.
Noa looked up at him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sitting on my fucking sofa hugging my fucking pillow. Got a problem?"
"Is something wrong?"
"I was fucking just in fucking god fucking damned jail, Noa! What do you think is wrong!?"
The younger boy glanced back down, before scooting over and watching Ryuuji nervously. "Can I hug you?"
"If you want to."
Noa nodded, before moving to do so carefully and as gently as he could.
Ryuuji was silent, staring at Noa quietly.
"I am sorry that your life is hard for you," The angel whispered.
"You realize by being nice to me you're going to hell, right?"
"What if... what if there's more to it?"
"More to what?"
"More to my being nice to you?"
"What more is there?"
The young boy paused in silence. "It's.. nothing,"
"If you don't tell me I'll take my knife and rip your little kitty to bits."
"I think I like you." He said quickly, shutting his eyes.
"The hell would you like me for?"
He shook his head as he began to cry. "I do not know. I am sorry. It's silly of me..."
"Isn't liking another guy a sin?"
He hiccupped through his tears as he nods.
"You... you'd commit a sin... for me?"
"Yes," The angel whispered.
"Why?" Ryuuji looked over at Noa silently. "I'm nothing special to you. I'm just a Satanist who threatens to burn your cat."
The angel held the cat close to him. "But you let me stay with you,"
"So? Ryou would have done it if I hadn't."
"I do not know why."
"You are the most fucked up catholic school boy I have ever met." The green-eyed teen grinned. "But hey, I like you too, so its all good."
Noa blinked and looked up. "You... you do? But I thought I angered you..."
"Yeah, but so does Ryou, and he's my best friend."
The aqua haired boy giggled a bit, bringing the kitty up to his knees to sit.
"You know how many people get into hell as apposed to heaven?"
"No."
"You just made yourself one of them."
Noa sighed, glancing downwards and at the ground.
"But, hey, if you want to date me that's fine. I'm not really a dating person, I'm more into casual sex, but I guess I could give it a shot. But no more of your god crap."
The angel gave him a puzzled look. "Dating?" He asked quietly.
"Oh please... have you lived in a hole your entire life? Dating? You know, what two people do when they like each other? You don't even know what sex is, do you?"
Noa shook his head carefully.
A smirk crossed over Ryuuji's face. "Want me to show you?"
The angel blinked a bit and gave Ryuuji a scared look.
"It hurts at first, but trust me, its gets a lot more fun afterward."
Noa blinked, but nodded.
"Mm... this is going to be fun."
The younger boy laid on his back, attempting to catch his breath as best he could, while wondering how much trouble he was going to be in.
Ryuuji started to giggle insanely, for no apparent reason. Soon his giggles became full laughter, before he shook his head, stopping.
Noa glanced up at him. "Na - nani?"
"Sorry," Ryuuji told him. "I was just thinking about what god would say right about now."
The angel gave the boy an odd look. "And what would that be?"
"Something along the lines of: 'Fuck'."
The angel laughed a bit before he smiled, leaning his head back with his eyes closed and sighing.
"Hmm... You don't feel dirty or anything?"
He hummed quietly and looked away. "I probably would, if it were anyone else..."
Ryuuji blinked a bit at that. "What do you mean?"
The angel looked back at him, giving him a soft, genuine smile. "I'm not sure."
"Hmm... this is, like, just a casual thing, thought. I mean, I don't know if its anything else. I've never had something like this be anything else." The dark haired boy sighed, running his fingers through his bangs.
The angel sat up, holding himself up with his elbows on his knees. "I do not think they will ever let me back into Heaven after this..." He murmurs to himself.
Ryuuji as about to say something, before he paused: "Wait... back?"
He glanced over at him, and blinks. "You heard me?"
"What do you mean, back?" The older boy asked, not answering the question.
"Well, I... I couldn't tell you that..."
"Noa."
"Yes?"
"Tell me. Now."
He looked away carefully. "I... I'm not human."
"You lost me."
With a small sigh of defeat, he took a breath and closed his eyes, making his wings and halo visible, as they seem to glow with a sort of light.
Ryuuji's eyes widened, and he froze completely.
The angel didn't wait for a response, tucking his wings closely into his body.
"Oh fuck..." Ryuuji whispered. "I slept with an angel..."
Noa turned, the halo above the crown of his head moving with him.
"They are so kicking me out of hell for this..."
The angel blinked. "H - hell?"
The green eyed boy glared at him. "Don't talk to me." He got out of the bed, pulling on his pants.
Noa got up carefully, a small robe already covering his body as he stepped up to Ryuuji. "Did I... do something wrong?"
The boy glared at him. "You're a fucking angel, Noa. You should have said something!"
The angel took a step back, silently. "What would I have said? I did not want to anger you further by letting you know how I came from Heaven,"
"Yeah, and thanks to you I'm going to get my ass kicked out of hell!"
The angel turned, tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry," He whispered. "I.. I did not know,"
Ryuuji stopped, before sighing. "Its fine." He slowly walked over to Noa, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder. "I'm not angry, I'm just... frustrated. I'm sorry I got mad."
The angel blinked, noticing how his mood had changed. "I forgive you," He said quietly.
"And besides..." a smirk crossed Ryuuji's face. "If I got kicked out of hell, that means, like, the worst sin of all!" He threw a hand up in the air, before thinking about it and looking at Noa. "Not that, like, that's all I wanted from you or anything... I mean, I like you and all..."
"I do not know whether or not I can believe that."
"Thats your choice."
Noa smiled a bit, before moving to hug Ryuuji carefully.
Ryuuji blinked, before he smiled weakly, slowly wrapping his arms around Noa.
"I choose to believe you," He whispered, lips next to Ryuuji's ear. "Please do not show me otherwise."
Ryuuji nodded slowly. "I... Promise."
The angel pulled away just enough to stare into the older boy's dark green eyes, searching for something as he ran his fingertips over Ryuuji's jaw line in a feathering motion, tucking his wings in again. "Really?"
The Satanist boy nodded slowly, keeping eye contact with Noa.
"Thank you," He whispered.
The older boy only smiled, before: "Can I touch your wings?" He looked at them, staring like he was a child with a new shiny toy.
The angel smiles lightly and spreads them out to about half their length, nodding. "If you're gentle."
The green-eyed boy slowly reached out, almost touched it, and pulled his hand back, frowning in thought. He lightly touched one of the wings, his touch almost like a feather [no pun intended].
The angel closed his eyes quietly, smiling.
Ryuuji slowly pulled his hand back. "No... I'm to tainted to touch something so... well... pure."
The angel opens his eyes. "You touched me."
"I didn't know then. I shouldn't have..."
Noa moved to place his palms on both of Ryuuji's cheeks. "Shhh."
The dark haired boy frowned.
"I have to admit that I liked it," The aqua haired boy said softly.
Ryuuji blinked, before smiling at that. "Yeah..."
He blushed a bit, giggling.
"We should probably eat," the green-eyed male said. "And then sleep. We have school tomorrow..."
"Hai," He said, nodding.
Pulling away, Ryuuji said: "What do you want to eat?"
The little angel pondered for a bit. "What is there?"
"We could always go out to eat."
"Yay!" He cried, clapping his hands. "Can Ryuuji -- I mean, Kitty come?"
The older boy smiled weakly. "Yes, Ryuuji can come."
"Where do you want to go? Some place fun or some play quiet?"
He pondered it for a moment. "Quiet."
Ryuuji nodded.
"You're turning soft on us!" Ryou cried, laughing at Ryuuji's glare. "You're dating the catholic school boy!"
"Shut the fuck up before I shove my foot up your ass," The green-eyed male glared at his best friend. "Noa and I happen to be very happy with this arrangement."
The younger boy laughs a bit from his seat, sketching another kitten with his time, on his homework sheet.
Ryou snickered again, before cringing at Ryuuji's glare. "Okay, okay! I get it!"
"Class," The teacher stated, not caring that most of them were ignoring her. "Meet our new student: Honda Hiroto."
"Another one?" One kid cried.
"Yeah! We just got one!"
Noa immediately looked up, a scared look on his face.
Ryuuji blinked, looking at Noa. He then looked over to Honda, who was glaring at the aqua haired boy with a force one would have to be suicidal to recon with.
"Nnn..." He whimpered, attempting to hide from the glare behind one of his books.
"Noa?" The black haired male asked, pulling the book down. "What's up?"
"He's going to kill me."
"You know him?"
Noa nodded, whimpering.
Ryuuji frowned, before looking at Honda, who was now glaring at him.
Noa stood, before hiding behind Ryuuji.
Ryuuji stood as well, glaring as Honda walked slowly over, taking a seat in front of them.
"What if he hurts me?" Noa asked in a hushed voice.
"I'll fuck him up to the point of where he wished he wasn't immortal."
Noa smiled a bit, squeezing Ryuuji's hand.
The older boy smiled back warmly.
The angel sighed, before taking his seat as the class bell rang.
Ryuuji sat down at the lunch table, shooting at glare at Ryou who shot a carrot at his head.
Noa sat next to him, pulling out his drawing pad.
"So," the white haired boy said, leaning in front of him. "You two slept together yet?"
"Shut up, Bakura!" Ryuuji cried, smacking him upside the head.
Noa blushed and laughed a bit.
"Aw, Ryuuji!" Ryou cried. "You never tell me about your sex life!"
"Shut up, Bakura," Ryuuji stated again.
Shaking his head, Ryou said: "Anyway, Bakura found his cool grave sight. We're going go there tonight and spray paint the gravestones pink! You wanna come!"
Ryuuji was about to answer, before he looked at Noa.
The angel sighed a bit. "If you want to," He murmured. "I can stay home alone with Ryuuji."
Before Ryou could ask, Ryuuji told him not to. He looked at Noa. "You sure you're gonna be okay? I mean, with that guy..."
He chuckled a bit. "Yes, I'm sure."
"You could, like, come with us..." Ryou said, looking between the two of them.
"I do not know if I could stand it," He muttered.
"Yeah, but I want you to be safe..."
"Then just don't go," Ryou said, shutting up as Ryuuji sent him a glare.
"You know I can't do that, Ryou," The green-eyed boy growled. "The adventure is just too thrilling."
"If you want, I could stay behind and stay with Noa," His white-haired friend said. "I mean, Its really Bakura's thing. That is, if Noa doesn't mind staying with me..."
"Oh, that's okay."
Ryou frowned. "What, I'm not good enough for you?"
"Shut up, Bakura," Ryuuji said for the third time.
Noa scooted closer to Ryuuji, before clinging to his arm.
The older boy rolled his eyes, before looking at Noa. "I'm going to trust your word and go, okay? But I'll give you my cell phone. If you need me, just hold down the '2' button. It will ring Ryou's cell. okay?"
He thought about it a moment, before remembering Honda. "Matte... maybe I should go. What about Honda?"
"I all ready brought that up," Ryuuji pointed out. "I'm sorry... there's just no way I can stay home."
"I know. I'll go with then."
The green-eyed male nodded at the angel, before glaring over at Honda.
"I do not want to get hurt," He murmured.
"I'm not going to let you," Ryuuji stated, looking back at Noa. "I promise."
The angel nodded, smiling.
Ryou giggled, throwing his empty spray paint can at Bakura, who started spraying Ryou. Ryuuji snickered, shaking his own can as he stood next to Noa.
The angel rolled his eyes, still laughing a bit as he watched them.
Ryuuji sprayed the nearest grave, laughing as it turned pink. "Idiots. Thinking that burring someone in the ground is supposed to symbolize something."
Noa blinked a bit, moving to follow Ryuuji carefully.
Ryuuji continued to spray several grave stones. "Bakura, you have the best ideas."
Noa glanced over at the other boys as Ryuuji said this.
"What?" Bakura asked, pulling away from his make-out session with Ryou.
He laughed a bit, then went back to watching Ryuuji.
Ryuuji laughed as well, before freezing as a few lights flicked on, shinning at them.
"Otogi Ryuuji," a man said, walking out into the light, obviously a cop. "Fancy seeing you again."
"Shit!" Ryuuji cried.
The man walked over, pulling out a pair of handcuffs and hooking them around Ryuuji's wrists, dragging him over to the car, which the black-haired boy was shoved against. The cop pulled out Ryuuji's knives, throwing them on the ground. "You know you aren't supposed to be carrying around weapons," he said as Ryou and Bakura were handcuffed as well.
When a woman went to hand cuff Noa Ryuuji cried: "Leave him alone! I dragged him here! He had nothing to do with anything!"
Noa took a step back, nodding.
The man shrugged, before shoving Ryuuji into the car roughly.
Noa had no idea what to do, and prayed there'd be a way he could get them out. "How much bail do you need for them?" He asks the woman officer.
The man laughed. "You're coming with us, kid." With that the woman slapped hand cuffs on Noa and shoved him into the car next to Ryuuji.
"But that's not fair!"
"The law doesn't deal with 'fair', kid. It deals with: you were caught with the people doing the act, therefore you are responsible as well."
Ryuuji looked at Noa. "What did I tell you? 'God' has no justice for the innocent."
"That would not be God, that would be the Government," He said as he glared at the woman.
"If your god really cared, wouldn't you be out of this right about now?"
"Both of you shut up," the man said, getting in the car, the woman next to him. "Neither of you know jack-shit about god, so keep your mouth's shut. Otogi, if you get caught one more time with knifes I'm holding you in jail for a month, got that?"
"I would know a lot about God, personally," The angel retorted.
"I told you to shut up!" the guy yelled.
Ryuuji looked at Noa. "Do what he says, or he'll hold you an extra night."
Noa nodded and quieted down.
