LOVE VS LUST
Chapter 3: Wise old Spirits and Angel Post? (3/4)
The four Guardian Angels arrived at the Hall of Wisdom.
"Wise old Spirits J, G, S, H and O, we request for your presence," Wufei said politely with a bow.
Suddenly, out from no where, five spirits materialized from the thin air…
"Well…come at last, huh?" said spirit G, mentor and teacher of Duo.
"Well... what happened was..." Duo said.
"We know about it. It's the doing of the Demon of Lust," Spirit J, the mentor and teacher of Heero, interrupted.
"Huh?! What err...who is the Demon of Lust? What does he wants?" Duo questioned.
"The job of the Demon of Lust and his many servants is to spread lust, and of course pure lust and true love can't go together, so they have to destroy the heavenly Department of Love, and the best way, of course, is to get rid of the Trowa Love, Head of the Department of Love." The mentor and teacher of Trowa, Spirit S answered.
"Trowa..." Quatre mumbled with much anxiety.
"Besides, Quatre's beauty seem to be hmmm...well let's put it this way the Demon of Lust, I think is awfully interested err...filled with lust for Quatre..."added Spirit H, mentor and teacher of Quatre. "What?!" All four Guardian Angels jaws dropped open.
"But...but why then did he want to make Quatre weak?" Duo questioned suspiciously, "How did he do it?"
"He didn't do anything. Well, at least not directly. Due to his nature as concern, Quatre will automatically be weakened now that Trowa is missing," replied Spirit H, "What has happened, is that Quatre, the embodiment of concern is feeling the drain of losing Trowa, the symbol of Love. You see, my young angels, concern without love is weak, likewise, love is starved without concern, when concern is taken away from love, love can be changed into to lust. This, I guess is the actual aim of the Demon of Lust."
"Changing love into lust, this is truly injustice!" Wufei shouted angrily.
"Trowa...my Trowa..." cried out a very worried Quatre.
"Well, you don't have to worry too much, Trowa's nature cannot ever be change to that lust, after all he is the full symbol of pure love. Hence, putting him in the hands of those human servants of lust will not turn him lustful. But, what I do fear is that he will start to shut himself off from all his feelings and emotions...and when that happened..." Spirit S stopped mid-way through his explanation and just shook his head.
"What?" All four Guardian Angels apprehensively asked together.
"Since Trowa is the embodiment of true love, if he dies inside, there will no longer be true love in the human world. Furthermore, concern, which is closely attached to love, will also become very mild and weak." Spirit O, mentor and teacher of Wufei, continued from where Spirit S left off.
"How?" Heero questioned.
"This is a inner battle. Trowa has to fight it within himself, but Quatre presence is extremely vital, so your mission is to bring Quatre to Trowa, and the rest is up to them ..." Spirit J commanded the Guardian Angels.
"Well, Quatre remember that this is an internal battle, it's a battle within oneself. The key to the solution of this mission is in the heart; yours and his," Spirit H advised Quatre, "Remember, this is a very important mission, and you mustn't fail, or else...or else the whole of the human world will suffer from intense moral degradation. Without love and concern for one another, it will be very hard for mankind to survive..." Spirit H ended his sentence halfway, allowing his words to trail off...to leave trail marks in the heart of the Guardian Angel of Concern.
"Trowa's present location is at 43 degrees north and 31 degree east. Also, do make sure that you all do not show yourself to any one else there, besides Trowa, for those people are all human servants of lust. Furthermore, it's against the Angel Law #5549876113 to do so. To show yourself to people without receiving instructions to do so." Spirited S gave further instructions.
"Off with you all now," All five spirits commanded at the same time.
The four Guardian Angels turned to go.
---------------
"Hey gang, I guess that we should leave instructions with our various departments before we leave, huh?" Duo scratched his head and asked.
"..." Heero stared back at him blankly.
"Yes, I guess so." Quatre nodded his head and said frailly as he leaned against Duo for support.
"No time for that. I think that we should just write a letter and send it via Angel Express Mail," Wufei suggested, as he took out a paper and a pencil.
"Yes," All the other three Guardian Angels agreed.
"'kay I'll write..." Duo volunteered sweetly.
"No! Your writing is so messy; I don't think any one can read it. Let Wufei write!" Heero interrupted.
"So, who will you put as in-charge Heero? Relena, your spokesman?" Wufei looked at Heero and asked.
"No!!!" Heero sneered back in disgust.
"Then who, hurry up!" Wufei said impatiently.
"Anyone but her, that little pest doesn't know how to do anything but follow me around and talk. It's a real wonder that actually so many people fall for her babbles," Heero replied.
"Good one, Heero dear!" Duo joined in.
"Well, at least she did her job of promoting peace," Quatre said kindly.
"..." Heero stared back at him in shock.
"So who?! Stop wasting time, it's injustice!" Wufei hurried Heero.
Heero thought for sometime, and then he replied. "Well...I guess...Noin should be fine..."
Wufei, wrote Noin's name down below their written instructions, and then turned towards Duo. "How about you, Duo?"
"Hmm...Hirde I guess, she too can be a little pest at times, but at least she's much better than Relena, not as sticky and that I have to admit that she does have really good working attitude and can be really efficient and effective..." Duo replied after considering for a moment.
"Shut up! We don't have time for these nosensical talk of yours! This is really injustice! Injustice!!!" Once again, Wufei started ranting about injustice.
"Shut up, yourself!" A irritated Duo snapped back.
"How dare you..." Wufei gave him a cold glare and shouted back.
Quatre looked up wearily and said in his sweet, gentle and mild voice, "Cut it off, my friends, please."
"Sorry, Quatre," Duo and Wufei apologizes together.
Wufei, then wrote down Hirde's name below Noin's name on the paper.
"Well, how about you Quatre? Who shall it be? Rashid? Iria?" Heero asked.
Quatre pondered for a while, before giving an answer. "Hmm...Rashid...no, he very busy these days, I guess Iria would be fine."
Wufei wrote down the name Iria on the paper.
"How about Trowa?" Duo questioned.
"Catherine, I guess," Quatre replied.
"Yes. Me too, she is fierce, very fierce, but yet very loving, protective and of course efficient and daring. " Duo nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Catherine," Wufei said as he wrote down Catherine's name.
"How 'bout you, Wufei? Sally, right?" Duo teased.
"Yes," Wufei replied, with a slight blush.
"Okay so let's call out for the post angels," Duo said.
All the Guardian Angel, besides Quatre, who was feeling too exhausted, started calling out loudly. "Post angels! Post angels!! Post angels!!!"
"Why in the world is there no response?" Duo scratched his head again and asked his friends.
"Oh yes, today is Sunday and there's no mailing on Sunday. How?" Quatre said suddenly.
"How, now?" Duo asked.
"Well..." Wufei started, but just trailed off.
"..." Heero gave his usual blank look.
"Look there's an angel!" Quatre exclaimed excitedly, but yet feebly.
"Yes, and I guess she's from my department," Duo said happily.
"Of course, idiot! Yours is the only department where angels are permitted to wear black, and she is in black." Wufei said with a slight tinge of irritation in his voice.
"Death Call!!!" Duo gave his usual command for calling angels of his department.
"Huh?" The little angel in black, looked around and saw Duo. She immediately walked over, gave a little curtsey and asked politely, "What is the matter, my leader?"
"Please deliver this letter to Hirde, the Secretary of our department. Thank you." Duo replied to her in a serious and formal tone of voice. A tone that he hardly used, except for giving out commands and instructions.
"Yes, leader." The little angel took the letter, gave another curtsey and then walked away.
"Let's go! Time for the actual mission now." Duo turned back to his friend and said.
