Now for my chapter. I distinctly remember Althena-san saying that she wanted them to get together through some school project. I think i'll follow that but I was not sure how she planned to do that with the girls working. Well I've figured out a way. And I want to confuse you guys about the couples. If any of you read most of my fics then you already know one of the couples. The rest are up to my twisted mind. Oh the possibilities! I wanna do couples rarely seen. Kinda like what I did in Tainted Love. I doubt many would have expected that couple. Well, now for me to shut my yap and give you my version from after chapter two.
Heaven and Hell
Chapter Three ~ Separate They Compare
The five girls were sitting around the sacred fire at the the temple. They all looked like they had been through a lot and were staring unseeingly into the fire.
"We may be evenly matched but they have the upper hand. He knew my name!" exclaimed Usagi furiously.
"He stood there laughing, enjoying the pain and suffering that he had caused then he taunted me like I was an amateur," Usagi continued, making quite obvious that the meeting had affected her.
"You're not the only one who found one of those bastards enjoying their trade. The ass that I found was grinning like a deranged fool." Makoto added, her hands clenched into fists.
"You think your guy looked deranged. The one that I found looked so innocent at first. Until I looked into his eyes." Minako shuddered delicately. "His gaze was filled with this insanity. It was so fricking scary. Not to mention the grin he had. Hell sent its best on this rampage."
"So what? We're the best Heaven have. We'll have no problem in beating those bakas." Ami said in an attempt to cheer them up.
"You're right Ames. The worse that could happen is that they're equal to us in power." Usagi amended with an attempt at a cheerful smile which fell far from it's mark.
"On to the next guy. So Ames, what did your guy look like? Did he laugh or grin or just run?" Minako asked eagerly, managing to get the others to roll their eyes in exasperation.
"You never change, do you? you'd think a few hundred years would have you more mature. Instead it looks like you've gotten blonder." Rei said with a smirk.
"Reeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! That was so mean. Take..." began Minako only to break off as she noticed the blush that stained Ami's cheeks. "What happened?! Did he do anything good ?" she pounced the question, ready to grab the blushing girl.
"After he grinned, he walked closer to me." Ami mumbled softly.
"And..." prompted Minako. She and the other girls had leaned in to hear the tale.
"Well...he heldmetightlyandkissedme." she finished in a rush, her blush getting redder by the second.
"Huh?" the girls said with a puzzled frown. They were mentally translating Ami's meldanese into an understandable statement. Amazingly yet not at all surprising, Minako was the first to understand. Letting out a loud squeal she leaned across the table to hug Ami in her excited death grip.
"Ohmigosh, Ami your very first kiss!!! I can't believe that you've finally been kissed. My little girl's finally growing up." Minako let out a few convincing sniffs and wiped away false tears with a non-existent handkerchief.
"The bastard kissed you!" Rei exclaimed angrily. "The next time you she him, call on me. I'm gonna make sure that he pays for daring to manhandle an angel."
"Do you guys sense the unbridled hostility or is it just my imagination?" asked Makoto while glancing at Rei.
"Not your imagination. I'm getting those vibes too. Rei what did that demon do to or tell you?" Usagi asked worriedly.
"The arrogant SOB called me a weak onna. Like he's any better?" Rei began to rage and pace around the fire. The girls followed her with their eyes until giving up to maintain their physical equilibrium. Watching Rei walk in circles was dizzying, especially with how swiftly she moved.
"Calm down Rei. Think of it this way, at least you'll have even greater satisfaction when you execute him. You'll be showing him that women aren't as weak as he thinks." Makoto pointed out in hopes of getting her to stop her pacing.
"Guys let's finish this meeting quickly. I wanna go to sleep." Said Usagi and as if to prove her gave a huge yawn which Ami followed with one of her own.
"I agree with Usa-chan. I've got another battle scene to shoot tomorrow and that baka director is such a pain in the neck. He won't let up until the scene is perfect to him. Have you any idea of the number of excellent scenes that he discarded because they did not meet some imaginary standard of his?! He's drunk on the power being director has given him." Minako complained.
The roll of thunder could be heard shaking the heavens (sky) and making the girls jump.
"The weather report never predicted rain." muttered Usagi.
"That's because it's not going to rain. This is a warning to us all. No complaining or bad talking people behind their backs." Rei supplied while staring straight at Minako who grinned at her sheepishly.
Laughter rang out as Usagi, Makoto, and Ami all laughed at Minako's expression and the situation itself. They were angels yet they were behaving like a bunch of mortal teenagers who just finished their schooling.
"Let's wrap this thing up now." Usagi began after she had settled down. " We have absolutely no idea where to find them, ne?"
"Hai." agreed the others.
"Seeing as they know us I propose that we wait for them to come to us. They will eventually. Until then we will try to prevent as many disasters as possible and save as many as we can. Hopefully they'll come to us soon. lucky for us, the bakemono I encountered told me his name, Duo Maxwell. If push comes to shove Ami can search for him and see if he is accompanied by anyone." Usagi predicted with a serious expression, one that was rarely seen on the cheerful angel's face.
"I agree with Usagi." Rei voiced. "They're toying with us at the moment so we have to keep our guard up. They could be anywhere watching us and will approach us boldly. We'll keep our cool and try to figure out which one is Lucifer's son. He's our most important target."
The girls glanced around at each other and nodded their approval. They would stay in observation/low level attack mode until they had precious information that they needed. Then they would plan their major attack. With no room for mistakes, they had to succeed in this mission as the Balance was on the line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The five phased into the library of Trowa's mansion only minutes after each other. The room was comfortably designed with strong masculine overtones that were represented with the oak ceiling, hardwood floor and Lincoln green walls. Bookcases stood ceiling to floor and wall to wall, all filled with books. Not a space was spared.
The first to enter, Quatre, ignited a fire in the ornate black marble fireplace and settled himself comfortably on a chair to read. The others appeared silently and settled themselves, either sitting or standing to wait until the last arrived. When the last appeared, Trowa, (and we all know what made him late, eh? {^_~}) they began the topic which was on everybody's mind.
"I was visited by the daughter of St. Peter herself. How blessed am I?" laughed Duo. "Her expression was priceless when I told that I caused it and I said her name."
"Hmm. So you got the little rabbit. Was she as fleet footed as she is reputed to be?" Hiiro asked with a sadistic smirk.
"She was too shocked to do anything." Duo replied with an equally wicked smirk. "I can't wait to meet her again, though. Raping her would be fun but seducing her would be even more enjoyable."
"Is she that beautiful?" Trowa queried with a raised brow.
"Tro, she's the epitome of heavenly beauty." Duo answered confidently.
"More docile than that raven haired fire-cracker I had the misfortune to meet I hope." grumbled Wufei. "The week onna dared to contradict me."
"Get over yourself Wu-man." Duo said flippantly.
"Wufei, just ignore him. You can fight later if you wish." Quatre inserted quickly before Wufei could make a grab for the amused Duo.
"Fine." he muttered while glaring evilly at Duo.
"So you got the priestess, Hino-san." Quatre continued to get his mind off Duo.
"Hai. The little bitch actually dared to defy me, the great ryuu bakamono," he added with a touch of incredulity.
"Well Wufei, I doubt they know who they're dealing with. Did you expect her to fall at your feet in adulation?" Hiiro said, tone dripping with sarcasm.
Wufei's cheeks turned a dull red and he glared the floor in silence. Anger radiated from his rigid form but he dared not speak a word against Hiiro, not with the look he was on the receiving end of.
"Relax for crying out loud!!!" Quatre shouted, his eyes taking on that reddish gleam that signified that he was about to get creatively destructive. (I know it's a not the same colour as Zero but the reaction is the same.)
At his outburst, the room went still. They all knew not to mess around when he was close to or in 'that' mood. Hiiro stopped staring at Wufei and turned his attention inward. He was thinking of the angels he had yet to meet. Trowa just looked at Quatre warily before speaking up. Duo had a slightly scared look on his face. He had personal experience with Quatre in his demonic mood and that had not been a pretty scene. The boy's mood swings were so damn unpredictable!
"I got the quiet one. Mizuno-san. And I shocked her into silence with a kiss." Trowa continued their original discussion while wearing a little smirk on his normally stoic features.
"You kissed her?!!!" Duo exclaimed. "You go man!! That must have left the ice maiden frozen."
"You don't have to worry about that Duo, I managed to warm her up some. Completing the defrosting would be a pleasure I'd rather forfeit it to another. I'm more interested in meeting the rabbit you spoke so highly of." Trowa responded blandly.
"What's with that chick? All of you want to meet some weak onna who probably the weakest of the bunch," Wufei commented snidely.
"Oh stuff it Wufei. I met the other blonde. Aino-san. She scares very easily." Quatre commented while glaring at Wufei.
"Nice. I'll have to give her a go." Hiiro said with a wicked smile.
"How was your gal?" Duo asked.
"She's tough, maybe tougher than the rest. No manhandling for Kino-san. Anyone wants the challenge?" Hiiro asked.
"Hiiro, she's not on auction! Non of them are," Quatre reprimanded.
"Seesh. Sometimes I wonder how you managed to become a bakemono." Duo comment bemusedly. "You never let us have any fun."
"Think of it as learning good breeding," Quatre retorted sharply.
"Who needs that stuff anyway? I'm a bakemono, not some measly mortal," Duo complained petulantly.
"Duo, behave." Hiiro commanded with a glare.
A silenced Duo slunk lower into his chair, crossed his arms and pouted . (just imagine the kawaii expression and weep for not being present.)
"Phase one went successful and we know now that all the angels we expected are here. Phase two is to make sure that we all meet them individually and later as a group. Starting tomorrow we'll begin the campaign. The college that we attend is having a career placement program. They'll find temporary positions for us to hold in companies that deal with the fields we are interested in pursuing professionally. Lucky for us, Tsukino-san's and Mizuno-san's company is one as well as Aino-san's movie production and Kino-san's restaurant." Hiiro stated.
"I get first dibbs on the restaurant," Duo put forth quickly.
"You would, you greedy pig." Wufei muttered.
"You can deal with that when we get to the school. Personally, I'm too tired to think about it now. Wreaking mayhem is tiring no matter what they say to the contrary. I used a lot of energy this time." Hiiro admitted before disappeared to bed.
The others took his example and exited the room in a similar manner. Tomorrow they had college and an early meeting with His Diabolicalness.
Well this all I can type for now. Inspiration is short for this fic but as you can see, I'm slowly finding plot. The next chapter will be when I can get it typed. School's reopening on Tuesday and I have a lot of work to get done. Hope this was to your satisfaction.
A word of advice, read my two short stories Tainted Love (SM x-overs) and Forever Yours (original). They're actually good and they're short. Won't take you too much time. And review. I need your opinions.
Ja ne.
