Tainted Angel Feathers
Chapter 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Tohru's eyes had widened feeling the captor's hands around her mouth. He chuckled darkly behind her. Tohru searched for any sign of someone to help her. She screamed against his hand again.
The man jerked her backwards, dragging her back along the sidewalk to the corner toward her house. He turned a corner, one that was unfamiliar to her. Her eyes searched left and right for anything familiar. She saw the walls close in on her. 'Oh no!' She thought in fear, 'He's taking me into an alley!'
Her guess was right. Soon the scent of rotting subtances, garbage and musty air entered her nostrils. Her stomach churned in discust.
'What's he going to do to me? What's going to happen to me? I never thought it would end like this..' These thoughts ran through Tohru's head as the captor dragged her back furthar and deeper into the alley.
Everything started getting darker around her. The streetlights faded away and her fear hazed her sight. Her breathing grew raspy and quick. Adrenaline pumped through her veins and her senses sharpened. Her sanity was slipping away.
He stopped backing and she stared straught ahead then gave a struggle against him, the man's grip became uncomfortably tighter.
Her mind raced. She thought of all the young women like herself that were raped and killed.. just like how she was going to be. Tears formed in her fear strucked eyes. Those poor girls.. they we're as innocent as her and just happen to be at the wrong place.. at the wrong time.
Her knees felt weak she struggled to stay up even though fear's grip around her was about to pull her into her conscience. 'Mom... help me...'
She could feel the man breath against her chuckling in satisfaction feeling her shake in fear. He was enjoying this.
His hand uncovered her mouth and she screamed hoping that someone would hear her. Oh how she wished someone would hear her. It slightly releived her of her fear too. Her hopes soared down though, when he heard him chuckle,
"No one can hear you scream you know.." his voice was sickeningly sweet and venomous, "The building across the street is abandoned, and no one can hear you anywhere else."
Tohru's screams emptied into the night, her throat became sore. Suddenly, a light poured into the alley from behind the old building. The moon rose from behind the building showing moonlight through the alley. Tohru looked ahead despretely past the dirty, dark brick walks, 'Maybe someone will see me!'
"No one will see you either." He snickered as Tohru's eyes widened. Salty tears poured down her cheeks. The moonlight seemed to shine on them showing them to the alley how much she was terrified right now.
A bright light shined in her eyes and Tohru had to look away. She finally looked to where the light was comming from, seeing it was a large cutting knife that reflected the moonlight in her eyes. Tohru's fears were comming true. She stiffened in terror.
The knife lowered and the light faded. The man's weapon pressed against her neck and she gasped as it scanned down past her chest and to her side aiming for major organs.
'This is it.' Tohru thought to herself. 'It will be all over..'
The knife glided back and forth against her side forcing Tohru to jerk away. He taunted her like this for a few moments as Tohru cried into the night.
"You're a pretty girl..." His voice trailed off against her skin. She shuddered in fear and discust and goosebumps on her neck seemed to grow.
"..Maybe I'll toy with you first before killing you..."
Her eyes widened, 'he's.. going to..' "No please-" She didn't finish the thought when she saw his blade raise up away from her ready to strike her side.
Tohru took her chance.
When the blade was away from her, She used all of her strenght and kicked the captor hard in the grion. He howled in pain and instantly released her, bending over clutching himself.
"HELP!" Tohru sreamed as loud as she could and pushed against the ground diving away from him. She took one step on the ground but instantly felt something tug on her calf, then pain instantly shot through her body. She moaned in pain and fell to the muddy ground on her stomach. She pulled up supporting herself on her arms feeling fresh blood against her leg. She looked behind her and to her horror saw a huge gash in her calf. Her gaze went upward to her captor and she gasped,
"It's YOU!"
To Tohru's surprise, it was the mysterious man with dark hair and cold black eyes. His face highered looking at her and a malice covered grin speard across his face. His pale skin glowed in the moonlight and her clutched the bloody knife in his right hand and scooted closer to her, "Come here..."
Tohru started to crawl away from the man trying to kill her. Her leg hurt like hell though and it slowed her down. She couldn't stand on it at all. Tears poured down her cheeks, 'Oh no! Gaurdian ANgel! Please help me!'
A cold hand grabbed her ankle and started draging her backwards to him. The man's nails dug into her non-injured leg's ankle drawing blood. She gasped in pain and shut her eyes trying to hold back the pain.
"LET GO OF HER YOU SICK BASTARD!"
Her eyes opened in shock as she looked out the alley. That voice seemed so familiar. She heard a loud thud and the wail of the dark haired murderer. Her ankle was released and she crawled away with her arms abit more. She rolled over to see what happened.
To her shock, there he was. The orange haired man who she bumped into earlier. He was gripping the other man by the shirt coller and punching him repeatingly. His fiery crimson eyes glaring at the paler man with hatred and anger.. his tan body glisteing under the moonlight which revealed his muscles. With each blow against his face, the red eyes warrior's anger seemed to rise. His teeth clenched and jaw straight, he was giving the other man no chance of a win.
The paler man shoved her hero into the brick wall. His orange hair ruffled when he hit the brick and Tohru watched her captor grip the bloody knife and approach him stifly.
Tohru gasped, "LOOK OUT!"
The man looked up in time to see him thrust the knife forward, but with his great speed, the red eyed boy moved swiftly to the side, only geting a scratch.
Tohru gasped seeing the scratch bleed and her savior lunge forward punching the other man to the side.
His enemy dropped the knife and stumbled back. Tohru watched as her hero took that chance to punch him in the gut. Gripping his gut, he hunched forward and groaned in pain. A knee was shot up against his chin and the captor stood up clucthing his appendege. The captor glared at the hero still clutching his chin. The hero glared back and snapped,
"I know it's you Akito! And I know who you're after her!"
The man, whom Tohru guess was Akito, looked at her hero in shock. 'Who is he?' Tohru thought as Akito backed away from her protector, 'Why is this Akito guy trying to kill me?' 'Does he really know why?'
Akito glared back, "I take it He sent you. Well He doesn't have a chance against us and neither do you!" He glared at Tohru which made her shiver in fear.
The hero lunged forward again and with a graceful movement, he swong a kick into Akito's chest knocking him into the wall. Akito gasped and threw his head up, opening his mouth in pain. No sound came out and Tohru watched a shadow seem to come out the wall. 'What the?'
The shadow enveloped around Akito like black ribbon and pulled him into the wall. When the shadow vanished, so did Akito. Tohru sat on the ground in shock. What was going on?
The orange haired boy glared at the wall where Akito once was then looked at Tohru and his eyes softened in concern. He walked over to her and crouched down looking at her, "Are you alright?"
Tohru looked at the boy, he was so kind looking, "I'm fine.." She started. He frowned knowing she was lying so she continued, "He cut me and I can't move my leg.. nor stand on my other ankle."
Kyo and she looked at her bloody leg. Tohru gasped at the sight. The boy leaned forward and wiped away some of the blood around her gash, he brushed against it by mistake and Tohru gasped in pain.
The boy quickly pulled his hand away and looked at her. Tohru blushed abit under his intense gaxe. She looked at his arm remembering the cut he got.. and was surprised to see nothing. Her eyes widened. The boy saw this and followed ger gaze to his now healed arm.
'Uh oh.' He thought, 'I didn't think she would notice. What am I suppose to tell her? "Oh well you see I'm a gaurdian angel who was sent to protect you from that other guy named Akito so I can heal with my magic." ..Yeah.. right.'
He frantically tried to think of some excuse when he heard her mumble something. He looked up at her.
"Thank you." She managed to say. A smile brightened her face, "Thank you so much.. I was praying that my gaurdian angel would save me and.. then you saved me." She closed her eyes smiling, "So I guess.. you're like my gaurdian angel."
His eye's widened, 'Holy shit! What now?! Maybe she was just joking.. Eh.. well at least she changed the subject from my arm.' He blushed slightly seeing her smile. 'She lookes so innocent when she smiles.. oh crap. What are you thinking? Snap out of it!'
"No problem." He managed to say, 'Smooth, that's perfect, she thanks you from saving her life and what do you say? "no problem" Jeez!'
He scooted to her side and slid one arm under her legs, and the other around her back. Tohru blushed abit. Picking her up, he looked at her feeling very awkward, "Where's your house? Or where can I bring you to treat your wounds?"
She pointed out the alley and then the direction of her house. He started down the sidewalk carrying her close to him making sure she was comfortable. He dared not look at her though. He was blushign bad enough as it was.
"Ano..."
"Hm?" he continued staring straight ahead.
"May I ask.. who my savior's name is?"
He blushed at the title 'savior' but nodded gruffly, "Kyo."
Tohru smiled warmly, "My name is Tohru Honda."
Kyo stiffened but kept walking, 'So I was right.. she was the girl. How else would I be drawn to her when she asked for her "gardian angel's" help? I never thought this would be how we would really meet though.. I wonder what I have to do.. to protect her...'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Yuki arrived back at Shigure's house and sat at the table. Shigure stared at the small vile. It was a hand-crafted glass bottle and had two angel feathers tied around it's neck. That was the Human Elixer. Shigure and Yuki knew that this Elixer gave the power for any angel in heaven, to become human.
Shigure grinned at elixer.
Yuki glared, "Well?"
Shigure looked up at Yuki as if he just appeared, "Well what?"
Yuki's vein throbbed in anger, "Stop smiling like an idiot and tell me who the riddle talks about or I'll rip up every novel you have ever written!"
Shigure tapped his chin, "Oh.. Well than I'll tell you."
Yuki leaned forward as Shigure smiled getting the Serephim pissed off,
"His name is Kyo."
"...."
"..."
"..And?"
"And what?"
"Who is he?"
"He's Kyo."
"Don't be smart, Shigure, Who is Kyo?"
"I told you I would tell you who the riddle speaks of, not what his story is."
Yuki stood up and clenched his fist. Glaring, Yuki stomped out the room. A deal was a deal, after all.
Shigure watched his cousin retreat and fly away. 'What are you planning Father? Letting Kyo have the job.'
Yuki flew down through heaven passing the beautiful sites. His mind was set on finding out who Kyo was. And he would find out as soon as possible. "I'll ask Kasha.." he thought aloud, "She knows of more angels than I do.. naybe she knows something about this Kyo fellow." With that, he flew away to find Kasha.
