My Loving Tsubasa No Kami!
The angel sat in the field of red roses; desolated and helpless. She cried tears of sorrow as her wings luster began to fade and the gates to heaven closed leaving her alone in the dark. Hiding behind her wings, everything she had once loved was now far beyond her reach. She would never be able to go back to the place she once called home.
"If you lay here helpless you'll be snatched up by the dark."
The angel looked up with tears still clinging to her eyes and saw a raven haired demon standing before her. Kneeling, he wiped her tears away and smiled.
"Heaven is no paradise if they cast out beautiful angels such as yourself. What is your name?"
"My name?" she whispered as she looked at him. "I . . . I have no name."
"Nameless? Hmm . . . then you are the Tsubasa No Kami. That is your name. The name I have given you, remember it well."
"Tsubasa No Kami?" she repeated then smiled. "I shall remember it always."
Chapter 2: Interruptions of a silver haired boy
"Hitomi are you okay?" Yukari asked sitting next to her friend who looked as if she had gone through a storm just to get to school.
"Leave her alone. She's just cranky because she didn't get to see Allen this morning."
"Oh shut it Merle. My brother isn't worth getting pummeled over."
"You know Celena's right Hitomi. There are so many more guys out there who are better than Allen."
"So says Millerna, the girl who steals all the boys."
"Celena you're being cruel. At least I'm not drooling after your brother like my sisters are."
"Yeah right! Just the other day you couldn't stop talking about how good looking he was."
"Merle, if I wasn't your friend I'd strangle you right now."
"But seriously Hitomi what's the matter? You really do look like you got up on the wrong side of the bed. You didn't even look at my brother this morning and that's saying something."
"This has nothing to do with Allen," Hitomi sighed. "I just had a really bad morning."
"It's so warm," Hitomi said to herself while snuggling deeper into her covers. As the alarm went off she slowly reached over and pushed the 'off' button. Then she immediately snuggled back into her covers for five more minutes of sleep.
"It's actually kind of hot. Why am I so itchy?" Frustrated and annoyed she opened her eyes only to be greeted by the smiling face of a certain demon lord.
"Good morning my angel."
"What the hell?" Van leaned over and kissed her on the forehead before Hitomi started to scream once again.
"Where did YOU come from! Get out of my bed!"
"But aren't lovers supposed to share the same bed?" Van asked innocently only to receive a hostile glare. "Tsubasa No Kami, you look a little angry . . . GAHH!"
"Angry? ANGRY? I'LL GIVE YOU ANGRY!" Hitomi cried as she smacked him and then attempted to suffocate him after.
'I'm getting irritated just thinking about it.'
"Really Hitomi. Try to put on a happy face. If you keep frowning like that you'll get wrinkles."
"Yeah yeah." Yukari smiled as they walked through the hall to their next period.
"Hey Hitomi? Tonight, let's go together. I can stop by your house and then we can walk."
"Sure," Hitomi said smiling.
'Oh god. What if she sees Van? I don't even want to start thinking about that. I'm seriously going to die an early death. I can't believe I have to worry myself over something so ridiculous.'
"Hitomi stop brooding and come into class. You don't want to be tardy now do you?"
"Right," Hitomi said still sulking. Suddenly she felt as if a dark rain cloud had formed over her. She couldn't seem to think about anything else other than a certain affectionate demon lord.
"Earth is so boring," Van sighed as he stretched out lazily in a tree. 'Humans are such strange creatures. I'll never understand them.'
"Tsubasa No Kami. I want to see you soon. Ah but if I try to kiss you again you're going to hit me and when you do that it hurts," Van said as he rubbed his cheek reminiscing about the slap from the morning. After Hitomi left, he had secretly followed her to school and then waited in the trees patiently for her to be with him once again. He smiled at the thought of greeting his lover when she finished.
"Still hiding in trees huh?" Van stared down at the voice and was greeted by a pair of blood red eyes and a mop of silver hair.
"You . . .," Van started, "What the hell are you doing here? And what are you wearing?"
"Sorry to burst your bubble but I go to school here hence the uniform," the boy replied as he flew towards Van using a pair of black wings that had suddenly come forth from his back. "And besides who are you to ask me what I'm doing? You're only the fifth lord."
"Shut up, Dilandau. Just cause you're third doesn't mean I need to start calling you Lord Dilandau. Besides you don't deserve such a title."
"Aww. You make it sound as if I stole this seat."
"You did," Van said plainly staring at Dilandau lazily.
"It's not my fault Damien lost and anyway what are you doing here? I thought humans were not to your acquired taste," Dilandau said with a smirk.
"Don't compare me to yourself. I don't try to jump everything that moves," Van said staring at the shocked face of Dilandau. "And anyway my lover attends this school. What about you?"
"Same. Here she comes now," Dilandau replied as he quickly jumped down and hid his wings. Van looked to where Dilandau was waving and saw a beautiful girl around the same age as Hitomi. She also had short hair, but hers was a strikingly pale yet blonde color. Running towards Dilandau, she jumped into his open arms and they stood there holding one another with smiles on their faces.
'I don't understand why my Tsubasa No Kami and I can't be like that. Maybe I just need to try harder. Ah!'
"That's disgusting. No one needs to see you two lovebirds," Millerna taunted smiling at both Celena and Dilandau. Everyone broke into laughter as more playful taunts were thrown at the couple.
"Tsubasa No Kami, I've been waiting for you," Van said lovingly as he approached Hitomi and took her into his arms. Hitomi stood there looking at all the surprised faces of her friends before she shoved Van backwards.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here."
"I was waiting for you," Van said plainly as if waiting for her was the most natural thing to do. Everyone stared at Hitomi and the strange boy with black wings and bizarre clothes.
"It's okay," Dilandau reassured everyone noticing their strange looks, "He's not a freak or anything. His name is Van De Fanel."
"You know him?" Hitomi asked shocked.
"Yeah. Me and Van go way back," Dilandau said casually as he walked over and put Van into a headlock. Suddenly Hitomi started to feel a little faint. The words 'way back' was repeated over and over again in her head. She started to wonder if maybe Dilandau wasn't what he seemed to be. Then she began to think about the three years she's known him for. After all he was dating one of her good friends. Hitomi had started to brood again as it seemed that it had become a conditioned response throughout the day.
"By the way. Has anyone seen Merle? I clearly remember her walking out with us," Millerna wondered as well as breaking the tension.
"Maybe she went home early? Oh my gosh. I was supposed to meet my brother thirty minutes ago. See all of you tonight!" Celena gave Dilandau a quick peck on the cheek and then left quickly to go meet up with Allen.
"Yeah well I'm going to go home too. I can't waste all my time here at school. Yukari are you coming?" Millerna asked as she started to walk away.
"Yeah. And Hitomi don't brood so much. Remember the wrinkles," she said as she pointed to her forehead and ran to catch up with Millerna.
'Wait. Don't go. You guys can't possibly leave me here with these two freaks!' Hitomi cried to herself. She turned around to see Dilandau and Van playfully fighting with one another to see who could get the other into a headlock first. As she watched them, Hitomi suddenly realized that she was receiving strange looks as more students passed by. It was then that Van's wings seemed to take over her sight of vision.
"You idiot," she hissed as she quickly grabbed his wrist, pulling him away from Dilandau and forcing him to walk. Dilandau also began to notice that they were being stared at by complete strangers and having nothing better to do he simply followed Hitomi.
It hadn't taken Hitomi very long to get to her house for she had been walking at super speed to try and avoid more stares. As she entered her home she immediately went to her room and threw herself face first into her bed. She turned her head to the side and saw Van sitting in a chair and watching her.
"Go away. I don't want to see you right now," Hitomi sighed breathlessly.
"Tsubasa No Kami?"
"Shut up! Enough with that! My name is Hitomi Kanzaki. Can't you even call me by my name?" Hitomi yelled frustratingly as she quickly sat up to face Van. Surprised by the sudden reaction Van was unsure on what to do next.
"Hitomi," he whispered quietly. Upon hearing her name she raised her head to look at him. He was staring at her with soft and tender eyes. Eyes that were unreadable to Hitomi. It was the first time he had called her name and she was stupefied. Not once had he tried to say her name. He only always referred to her as Tsubasa No Kami.
"Hitomi," he repeated. The way it just slurred from his mouth was captivating.
'I feel weird. Usually I would just yell at him. But when he says my name my heart . . . it beats like crazy. I don't know what to do.' Van saw the panic in her eyes and moved slowly so as not to frighten her. As he stood over Hitomi, he carefully lifted her face towards him with his hand. At the moment his hand touched her face, Hitomi trembled slightly but because of his warm touch she had let down her guard and now stared into the eyes of the boy who claimed to love her.
"Can I please kiss you?" he asked. In any other situation Hitomi would have taken her pillow and tried to shove it down his throat due to his forwardness. But for some reason she couldn't get mad not to mention she couldn't reach for the pillow because she was tired. Without words she closed her eyes and braced herself for the kiss. Van smiled and slowly leaned in planting a light kiss of affection on Hitomi's forehead and then pulling away. Hitomi reopened her eyes and stared at him with a confused face.
"I'd never force you to do anything you didn't want to do. Until you give me your consent I will always be waiting."
"Van. I . . .,"
"Don't have anything to drink. I'm sorry did I just interrupt something. Uhmm . . . I'll just leave then," Dilandau said as he left her room in a hurry grasping the fact that he had just ruined a crucial moment.
'I totally forgot that Dilandau was still here.' Hitomi thought as she slowly got up from her bed.
'I'm going to kill that bastard,' Van thought as he followed suit after Hitomi.
"Uhmm . . . Van?" Van looked at Hitomi who was standing in the doorway with her back towards him. Van held his breath as he waited for Hitomi to begin again. After all just moments before they were staring into each other's eyes and Hitomi almost confessed to him. "Is there a way for you to get rid of those wings and look normal?"
". . ."
"Because it attracts a lot of attention and not the good kind," Hitomi said turning towards Van with a smile. He stared at her for a moment before changing himself with a bright flash. His wings that had disappeared along with his usual attire were replaced with normal black jeans and a red t-shirt. After looking over himself, he gave a big grin to Hitomi. When she turned away from him, he stopped grinning and understood that somehow he had made her uncomfortable again.
"I'm sorry," he said as he nervously brushed a hand through his hair.
"Where are you staying?"
"Huh?"
"I mean you don't have anywhere else to go right? If you don't, you could stay here. I have a spare room and my parents don't live with me so it'll be comfortable for you."
"Hitomi . . ."
"And I . . . when I'm with you I get headaches a lot and I get frustrated too. But maybe just this once I can . . . nevermind. This is stupid and embarrassing. I . . . I don't even know what I'm talking about," Hitomi said as she started to laugh nervously. Strong and muscular arms wrapped around her neck as van placed his head on her shoulder. It was warm and comforting.
"Thank you," he whispered lightly.
"Is it okay if I explore the backyard?" Dilandau yelled from downstairs as the opening of a door was heard faintly.
"Oh no. Cain! Dilandau stop! Don't open the door!" Hitomi shouted as she ran out of Van's arms to get downstairs.
'Scratch that. I'm going to give that bastard a long, agonizing, and tortuous death.' He watched Hitomi run downstairs and smiled to himself. Now just maybe, she started to believe in his words. As he walked downstairs, he could hear the faint conversation between Dilandau and Hitomi.
"What the hell is that? It's huge!"
"Dilandau slowly get back inside the house."
"Why? Is it that danger . . . AAAAAaaauuuggghhhhh!"
