Second Chapter

The war raged and escalated. Hundreds of innocents were killed. Fuji kept crying at the scene. It was the first time he ever cried when he saw people suffering. He cried for the angels and the demons. Then, it was his turn to fight in the war.

'I don't want to do this but I have to send you to fight. For the preservation of our beautiful pure Heaven.' Fuji heard his father said to him, in his opinion, a mock sadness. 'I understand, Father. But I'll go if Yuuta, Yumiko and most importantly, Mother, are sent to a safe place immediately. The war is soon reaching the castle.' Fuji said firmly with his ocean blue eyes opened.

He was dead serious.

But the answer he got was not as expected.

'Yumiko and your mother will stay. Yuuta will be sent to a safe place.'Fuji widened his eyes in shock before he shouted. 'Sure, Yuuta will be the heir if I died but does that mean you protect only the heir and not the others! Are you trying to say Yumiko and Mother will die in Yuuta's place just because they can't carry on the heir!' 'Syusuke! That's all we could do! What are you expecting! Yumiko and your Mother are women! Their purpose in this world is to love and reproduce! They can't carry on the name! That is that!' The connection that held their conversation snapped and Fuji was left yelling at an empty black screen.

Fuji was stationed to protect the castle. The people came and took Yuuta away. Now the only people left in the Fuji family is Yumiko, Yoshiko and Syusuke. The fight was fiercer than what Syusuke had expected. The fight raged on the ground and the sky. Fuji's fighting skills were proved more superior to average angels. After slaying the last devil in the sky, he was about to fly down when an arrow was shot an inch past his ear. He turned and saw someone that he never wanted to fight with.

'Tezuka?'

Tezuka was standing in front of an army of devils. All waiting to kill and to taste the blood of their next victim. He was wearing a black leather outfit with a cape behind him. Tezuka showed a shock face at first before he returned to his emotionless face in a second. 'Fuji Syusuke, Prince of the Angels, I have no wishes of hurrying you but if you continue to fight, I'll be forced to allow my army to destroy you. What will it be?' Tezuka said in his usual firm and formal voice.

Fuji's eyes were covered by his hair as he spoke. 'I'm sorry. But in that castle. The castle that is below me. In there are people that I love and swore to protect. Guess like you have to destroy me huh?' Fuji said finally revealed his blue eyes with a small determined smile.

'Fuji.' Tezuka thought. 'Very well then! Since you refused our prince's generous offer, I'll bring your death day now.' A devil said and flew past Tezuka. 'Momoshiro stop it!' Tezuka yelled as Momoshiro aimed his arrow at Fuji's throat. Fuji took out his kendo sword. Soon, a scream came out of the devil's mouth as the kendo sword lashed his left eye. 'Momoshiro!' A devil with greenish black hair yelled as he saw his lover holding his bloody eye.

Fuji was already panting from the previous attacks. As soon as the greenish black haired devil flew down, the entire army charged at Fuji. 'Shit!' Tezuka thought before rushing down to control the army. 'Fuji! Hang on!' Fuji turned and saw his two angel friends, Oishi and Eiji flying down to back him up. The battle raged on. Until finally, Fuji came face to face with the one he wish he had not to fight with.

'Tezuka.'

Tezuka raised his bow and arrow, aiming at Fuji. Fuji tried to evade but for an angel a level below the highest level of the devil, getting shot was inevitable. Fuji found himself on the ground in a blink of and eye. The arrow had shot through his wings. Panting and lying in a pool of blood on the ground, Fuji did his best to look up but due to exhaustion, he immediately blacked out.

Eiji slashed another devil in the chest and then turned to check on Fuji. He was horrified when he saw the prince of Hell picking up Fuji. Fuji was drenched in blood. 'Blood……..' Eiji whispered before his eyes turned from midnight blue to blood red. Eiji had a tragic childhood from young. He saw his parents murdered by devils thus leading him to live with his grandparents. Unfortunately, the incident left a mental mark in his mind. As soon as he sees blood, he would kill everything in his sight. Oishi, his best friend,was aware of this.

Oishi turned to see the red haired angel slashing everything he saw. Even angels were being slashed but not as badly as the devil's. 'Eiji!' Oishi flew to him and held his wrists away from the devil Eiji was stabbing. 'Let me kill him! Let me end this idiot's life!' Eiji yelled and screamed as Oishi pried the dagger out of Eiji's hands. 'Eiji! He's dead.They're retreating! You're okay now!' Oishi tried to calm Eiji down, only getting a tiny cut on his forehead due to the dagger. Eiji stopped as soon as blood flowed down Oishi's face.

'Oishi! You're bleeding!' Eiji quickly did his best to close the wound. Oishi turned to check Eiji's eyes. 'They're midnight blue again.' He thought with relief. 'Oishi, hang on.' Eiji said before Oishi pulled him down in a hug. 'O-o-oishi? What?' Eiji asked surprised. 'You're ok.' Eiji eyes widened at those words Oishi said. 'Even though you weren't hurt but at least you're ok. I'm glad.' Oishi whispered before fainting due to exhaustion and injuries. 'Oishi.' Eiji looked at his childhood friend before kissing him on the lips. 'Thank you.' Eiji helped Oishi up which wasn't easy since Oishi was bigger and flew him back to the Heaven's camp. 'Don't worry Fuji! We'll rescue you!' Eiji thought while looking back at the battlefield.

Hell's castle…………………….

Tezuka walked into his brother's room. To be correct, half-brother's room. Tezuka took his father's surname since he was the oldest. His brother and other younger devils took their mother's surname.

In the room, his brother was sitting on a chair next to the bed. On the bed was the devil whose left eye was slashed. The eye has been bandaged up along with the other wounds. 'How is he, Ryoma?' Tezuka asked the devil on the chair. The greenish black haired devil turned to greet his brother before looking back at the devil in his bed.

'He might not be able to see from his left eye anymore.' He growled.

'I see.' Tezuka replied. 'I still don't understand why you bring that angel back! I swear I'll murder him for what he did to Momoshiro.' Ryoma said with knuckles shaking in anger. 'He is important to us if we want to obtain victory. He is to be the next king of the angels.'Tezuka lied so as not to let Ryoma know his true intentions. 'It better with worth it.' Ryoma muttered. Tezuka just turned and closed the door.

The devil in bed moaned in pain before waking up. 'What? Where am I?' the devil observed his surroundings before he saw Ryoma. 'You're in the castle. In my bed.' Ryoma simply said before getting up and pouring a glass of water for the injured devil. 'I'm sorry for the trouble. I best be going.' Momoshiro replied before being pushing back in bed by the younger devil. 'Your highness?' Momoshiro gasped before a cup of water was placed in his hands. 'No one's here so call me Ryoma. How many times must I tell you that?' The younger devil said annoyed as he watched the older devil gulp down the water.

'I don't deserve this treatment at all. I have to go back to the camp.' Momoshiro said while Ryoma made the cup disappear to the kitchen. 'Don't worry about it. Father knows about it. Some of the wounded are here since there are more rooms here then the camp. He wants strong unwounded soldiers after all. He can't risk infection. It's best you get some rest.' Momoshiro had no choice but obey and immediately fell asleep. Ryoma looked around and made sure Momoshiro was asleep before kissing him on the lips lightly. 'Don't get injured like that again.' Ryoma whispered before sitting on the chair and watching Momoshiro slumber.

Tezuka walked into his room and closed his door quietly. He walked over and sat on the bed, watching the angel slumber. He rubbed Fuji's fair smooth cheeks before hearing Fuji murmured. 'Kunimitsu, don't leave me.' A few drops of tears fell onto Tezuka's hands. Tezuka rubbed away his tears and kissed him on the forehead and lips. 'I'll be here, don't worry.' He whispered as he hugged the angel.
