Rating: R (this one goes up folks)
Summary: I had a bet going with our band's drummer (Who's have way around the world might I add) that I would get this chapter up already. And now it's up! So… enjoy! By the way… I hate Anna… not just 'Oh I don't like her' hate, I mean the 'I'm hate her so much I hope she bleeds from every orifice on that pitiful body her muck-coated soul inhabits!!!!!!!!' hate… (I'm a cheerful person…) so I made her evil… Anna fans? Deal with it.
-O-Chapter 5: Take Me Away
-O-
Ren's eyes fluttered open in the darkness of the unfamiliar room. His hands and feet were bound, a chain wrapped around his waist and he felt nauseated, slightly, by the incense that filled the room. A door to the left of him was ajar, casting an eerie bar of dim light over Ren's bound body. Ren could just tell his hair was tousled and his clothes were disheveled because of the not-right feel of it all… He felt his cheeks were wet, and he moaned inwardly at the fact that he knew he'd been crying… and his captor had seen it. He didn't like to cry in front of people.
The door opened and the dim light filled the room. A girl stood in the doorway. "I'll have to thank that hit man for binding you, later… I didn't want him to kill you… I want to enjoy your death for myself." Stated the abrasive female.
Ren's voice didn't seem to want to work. "…Wh-who…" was all the poor bound boy could muster. His eyes squinted at the light.
"My name is Anna… And your little boyfriend is at fault for what was stolen from me! I want to torture you to get back at him for the torture he put me through…" She opened a small box she had brought with her and pulled out a gag. "This will hurt. I won't lie…" She tied it around Ren's head, silencing any coherent speech. She then drew out six long needles. "But it will be worth while… So just bite down hard on that gag and try to enjoy it as much as I will…"
-O-
Horo's will for his snowboard to go faster was drowned out by his immense worry for his love. 'Ren… How could I do this to you? I should have argued! I should have… I wanted you to have what you wanted… my love… but why this? Why NOW?!!'
He swiftly avoided trees and rocks bout couldn't avoid his guilt. He was only slightly distracted by a blur of black and green that showed itself in the corner of his eye… but he knew what it was…
"No!" It was a Dark Angel; the Angel's rival and, in times, it's worst enemy… It was headed in the direction of where Manta said he would be. "REN!!!!!!!"
-O-
Anna wiped the blood off her hands. "You're taking longer to die then I thought…" She removed the gag. "I suppose you should have a few last words…"
Ren struggled to speak through the pain. "Why… are y-you… d-doing this…? Wha- who… who were y-you… talking… about…? Who… h-hurt you…?"
Anna turned her back to Ren. "Yoh… was the one who hurt me… but I don't blame him… I blame that DAMNED Horo!!!!!!"
Ren had had six needles in his body during the whole conversation… and Anna shoved the most painful one further into his body. Ren opened his mouth in a silent scream. "That little boyfriend of yours is what caused Yoh to love that little seer instead of me! He took my love away from me… so I'm going to kill you… and remove you from his life!"
Ren shook his head weakly. "Y-You don't-…! UNDERSTAND!!!!!" He shouted in pain. "I don't know any Horo! I-I don't know who you're t-talking about!"
Anna slapped him across the face. "LIER!!! I saw both of you on that stupid snowboard two days ago… Your arms never left from being around his neck!" She sauntered to the door. "Oh, and if you think there's the slightest chance you can get yourself loose… it isn't likely…" She left and shut the door behind her.
Ren's eyes filled with tears again… Horo…? Horo who? Who was she talking about? And why did she think he had something to do with him...? The memory of the dream kiss came back to him and his blush became evident, even in the dark. He turned his head to face the open window and cried…
He jolted suddenly, feeling the needles being removed. The door had never opened again, so who could be…? He glanced over and noticed a green haired… someone… with black wings lightly pulling out the needles. He must've noticed Ren looking at him because of the ever-present smile that appeared so easily on his gentle face. "I'm sorry… did I frighten you?" Asked his British accented voice. Ren could only shake his head. "Good… My name is Lyserg, pleased to meet you… I'm going to have you free, please hold on…"
A few tense moments passed and Lyserg had managed to free Ren completely and removed all of the needles "Wh-…Wh-…" Ren couldn't speak.
Lyserg smiled. "I intercepted Manta's vision and saw you were in danger… So I decided to help you… I didn't think that Horo would get here in time…"
"Wh-Who…? Wh-who is… this H-Horo…?" Ren asked, suddenly feeling stupid. These people expected him to know this boy… but he hadn't a clue who he was.
Lyserg blinked. "Your gonna be safe now, so you don't have
to act anymo-"
"I'M NOT LYING!" Ren managed to shout. "I-I don't know who the hell ANY of you
are talking about!" He tried to stand but dropped to his knees and cried
silently. "I'm so lost… I'm scared…"
Lyserg smiled softly. "Okay… I think I get it…" He hugged the boy lightly. "He cast a spell… he wanted you free of this… Anna doesn't know about it… that's why she took you…"
Anna's screams of pain were heard outside the door. Lyserg's face paled. "Hayaku… we need to go… Now…"
The door shot open before either could move. A blue haired boy stood in the doorway. "I was never afraid to hit a girl…" He advanced on the green haired youth. "You dark one! What do you think you're doing with my Ren??" He shouted. Lyserg's innocent eyes filled with tears and fear. He spread his wings and fled the room. Ren looked at the boy.
"Let me guess… Horo…?" He suggested.
Horo's eyes widened and he glomped Ren "You remember me!!!!" H nuzzled his neck. ""You remember me! You remember me!"
Ren shoved him off. "NO I DON'T know you!" He brushed off his shoulder, blushing, because this was the exact boy he'd seen himself kissing in his dream. "Your name's just been said so many times it's making me sick." He blanched.
Horo sweatdropped. "Oh…" He sighed and sat on the floor. "Why are you so testy?"
Ren growled. "That boy you scared off was trying to save me. According to him, if he hadn't showed I'd be dead by now."
Horo glared at him. "I just killed that friggin' Harpy! Would he have done that? If she was still alive, she would've come after you again!" Horo grasped his shoulder. "I won't let you get hurt… You mean too much to me, love…" he brought the boy into another hug.
Ren struggled very little. "You… don't… get it… he was still trying to save me…" His eyes drooped slightly. "I'd still have those needles in me… if he hadn't come…" He then passed out. Horo sighed and hugged him close. He figured he'd passed out from blood loss.
"Ren… I do get it… I love you…" He held him, slowly healing his wounds as he whispered to the unconscious boy. "I love you so much… never forget…"
-O-
Lyserg hid in a tree in the snowy desert, tears rolling down his cheeks. He didn't care if he froze. "I hate these stupid wings… I HATE THEM!!!" He buried his face in his arms.
"I don't know… I think they're quiet beautiful…" Lyserg head shot up to the familiar voice. He glanced down at the ground.
"Ryu-kun!!" He cried before pouncing out of the tree and into the angel's arms. "I'm so glad you're here…"
Ryu cuddled his black-winged Koi. "Daijoubu ka?" He brushed a few tears from Lyserg's eyes. Lyserg shook his head and buried his face in Ryu's shirt.
"I hate my stupid wings… Everybody hates them… meaning they
wind up hating me… the angels… just because… I'm their opposite… AUGH! I just
want these horrid things gone!!!" He tore at his wings managing to pull out a
few feathers. Ryu held his arms still.
"Lyserg-koi calm down…" He pulled the feathers from Lyserg's hands and examined
them. "I'm an angel… I didn't hate you did I?" He smiled lovingly.
Lyserg wiped his eyes and nodded. "And for that, I am thankful… but why someone like me…? Why would you want to be with someone that could get you killed…? That could… make them curse your wings…?"
Ryu hugged him and kissed his cheek lightly, whispering in his ear. "Because I think that the winds of change are blowing your way…" He held up the feather… whose bottom half had turned a startling white, deeply contrasting the black tips…
Lyserg dove deeper into Ryu's embrace in joy.
