From Another World

Chapter five-

The Love of an Angel

Hiei and Kurama then made there way up the stairs to the next level. "Race you to the other side!" Kurama said to Hiei. They raced and Hiei won. They entered the other room and saw Alia knocked out on the ground.

Alia had burn marks on her hands and face. Also she seemed to be half in angel form and half in human form. Kurama and Hiei ran up to her. Alia was still breathing. Then her eyes opened and Alia managed to say "Be-behind you!"

Alia then held up her hand and said "Seena tu sa habeck!" She then stood up.

Hiei and Kurama looked behind them to see four ice crystals glowing black and smashing into the floor. Then a figure came out of the shadows. He had short light blue hair, metallic ice blue eyes and was about five foot eleven. He wore different shades of blue and had ice blue nails.

"I see two of the protectors made it past Shen and Thakra." He said smirking to himself. "Very interesting…now who would like to perish first?" The guy said holding his hand straight out in front of him. Then with out warning five ice crystals shot from his finger nails.

"Seena tu sa habeck!" Alia said and once again the crystals smashed into the ground.

The figure glared at Alia. "Angel you're starting to annoy me." The figure then disappeared and reappeared in the same spot, like he had never moved. Alia then collapsed to the ground.

"What did you do to her?" Kurama asked.

"I merely injected a poison into her blood stream. She won't last the night." The figure asked laughed evilly.

With the angels down stairs

"Len you don't have to fight us." Gabriel said. Len, Nick and Gabriel had stopped for a moment. Nick (on the left) and Gabriel (on the right) were standing on either side of Len sword at the ready.

"C'mon dude, were friends remember?" Nick said.

Len lowered the sword in his left hand. "Friends? We were never friends Nick." All of the sudden Nicks wings froze and the ground under him disappeared. Nick tried to run away but the ground seemed to pull him down into the whole. When Nick disappeared through the whole, the floor reappeared it's self. Then they both heard a crash that sounded like ice shattering into a million pieces.

"Nick! What happened to him!" Gabriel said.

"Let's just say he had a bad fall. Now Gabriel it's just you and me." Len said as he and Gabriel crossed swords.

"Len, what about Alia?" Gabriel asked as they pushed off each other.

"What about her." Len answered.

"Len, my friend I know you're still in there. You once told me that you loved Alia. If that's still true…then stop this madness!" Gabriel said and dropped his sword. "Hit me with everything you have."

Len held his hand up as if to attack, but paused for a moment, closed his eyes and did his most powerful attack on Gabriel. Gabriel had been knocked out. Gabriel and Nick had lost the battle. Len had won. Len picked up Gabriel and then went to retrieve Nick from his fall. After that he headed up stairs, to where the fight was going on. Len got up thereto see Hiei and Kurama dogging ice crystals. 'Now this is interesting.' Len thought and put the angels down.

"Ice, stop playing around and finish the job." Len said as he leaned against the wall.

"You wanna help? Go right ahead." The figure now identified as Ice said.

The ground then seemed to come alive and engulfed the two detectives, only leaving their heads free.

"There…I helped. The earth with grow tighter with each movement of my hands. Like so." Len said and with the wave of his hand the earth around the demons necks tightened.

"Good, now to kill the angel." Ice said and shot five crystals at Alia. Len seemed to see the ice crystals move in slow motion. As he saw this Gabriel's voice floated into his mind saying "You once told me that you loved Alia. You loved Alia…loved Alia. If that's still true…then stop this madness! Madness……You love Alia, now prove it! Save her!"
