- In Lakia -
It was in the late afternoon. A figure clad in black walked down the road. Swiftly and silently, sure of its target. When it saw two guards walking down the street it quickly rounded a corner and quickly melted into the shadows. After the guards passed, the figure stepped into the light. Belial smirked.
// One is lucky there aren't to many angels on the streets. Probably afraid of the attacks. One can't blame them though//
She chuckled again as she thought about the conversation she had with Astaroth and Barbelo.
~ flashback ~
"That's ridiculous, Belial, offer a truce to heaven? Who will you persuade into telling your idea to the higher angels?"
Astaroth sat in one of the four chairs in the room. Like always he was dressed in all black. The white snake around his neck seemed to agree with him. At this point he looked ready to scream at Mad – Hatter and ask if she had truly turned mad.
"Maybe if we're able to convince one of the higher ranked angels. Maybe then this plan will work", Barbelo said voicing her thoughts, "But then it will have to be someone who still holds great respect in the heavens."
"That is a good thought, but WHO will you try to convince if I may ask?" Astaroth said. Still not believing in Belial's solution.
" Well, Rosiel is gone, the seraphim aswell, Adam Kadamon is sealed up. Maybe Alexiel."
"Oh please, Mad-Hatter, you think she'll listen to you? Alexiel will kill you before you get a chance to even start talking. Especially after you tried to turn the Gehenna princess into one of Lucifer's brides."
"Thanks Astaroth, you really are a big help." Answered the satan of wrath.
"How about the Cherubs?" Asked Belial.
"I doubt it. Gabriel isn't really the one to fight but there are a lot of guards around her palace." Said Barbelo while she was thinking about other possibilities. "Well, I think the thrones are out of the question as well. I don't think they still hold great respect after the third war because they commanded Anima Mundi. And the powers won't co-operate either."
Belial smirked.
"The virtues. Raphael."
"He'll never listen to you."
~ end flashback ~
"He WILL listen, Astaroth, he hasn't got a choice." Said the satan of pride to herself.
She removed herself completly out of the shadows and headed towards Raphael's house.
// One does wonder how Raphael will react if he sees one again.//
Belial looked around and crossed the street. When she reached the other side she heard a gasp. She turned around and saw an angel standing there. Luckily for her he was still to shocked to react. Quickly she attack the unfortunate angel. One attack already did the job.
// One angel more or less. That won't make much of a diffrence.//
She entered Raphael's office making sure to be as silent as she could. Her gaze wandered around the room and stopped on top of a shirt. She walked towards it and picked it up. The shirt was ruined. It had bloodstains and it was ripped. The tears looked like claw-marks.
// This shirt is to small to be Raphael's.//
In the next room a small angel heared something and perched his head.
//I think I heard something. Can't be Raph, he would be in this room already.//
The red-head got out of the bed and winced slightly as he did so. He peeked around the corner and saw the fallen angel standing in the doorway looking around. His facial expression turned from curious into hate filled.
// What the fuck is the queer doin' here? Hasn't she ruined enough for Raph. already?//
Carefully so he wouldn't alarm the satan or reopen his wounds the little archangel went to the corner to take his sword, Raphael had put it in the far corner if you look from the bed. It was a bit heavy for him to carry because his shoulder was wounded but he figured he would just have to bite his teeth.
Belial dropped the shirt and stepped forward looking for any movements unaware of the pair of hate filled eyes that looked so much like those of her master following her every move. And of the boy that was ready to kill her if he could get a clean strike.

That's another chapter for you. I finally finished it. When I wanted to update the first version I suddenly thought it sucked so that's why it took so long. ^^;;
A/N: Lakia is the second level of Yetzirah. In the manga that's where Raphael's office is.
