Tainted Angel Feathers
Chapter 14
Tohru's eyes opened in horror. "K..Kyo..."
Kyo strained and looked down at the scared girl. His arms were outstretched, as if a barrier against Tohru. His back was burned, the scar of the attack in his back. Being at blank point range did major damage to the angel. Seeing Tohru was safe, a goofy, yet weak grin covered his face, "I will.. Protect you.. Tohru.."
'Unlike I did before...
..I will protect you.'
Tohru's eyes filled with tears as she saw Kyo close his eyes and stumble forward toward her. Tohru was helpless against the massive weight and fell down along with him. Kyo straighten himself on his hands and knees, still hovering over her, ready to defend her to the death.
Akito stared, his eyes wideneing, but a sickening smile pread over his features. I didn't last as long as he thought, feeling someone slamming a fist against his jaw.
Akito glared at Yuki as the Serephim's fist knocked Akito back into a slide. Yuki started to thrash at Akito, throwing his own angelic slashes of energy at him.
Akito was hit a few times againstt he slide. The structure couldn't hold the battle, and collapsed with a loud crash. Yuki jumped in the air throwing more energy blasts at him.
Akito howled in pain before he threw his hands up, sending a wave of darkness at the Angel. The aura slammed again Yuki's body, throwing him back.
The foe stumbled up, seeing the fallen agel unable to move. Akito walked weakly over to Kyo and Tohru. With a swift kick, he knocked Kyo off of Tohru to the side before looking down at the helpless girl with a cold laugh.
"Now then.. Where were we?"
Akito laughed again and looked to Kyo, "No hard feelings, weakling. I'm just doing my job..." Akito laughed seeing Kyo's face. The face of total fear and shock. Kyo's eyes glazed over, seemed to stare at Tohru, who was screaming in horror, sensing Akito draw back another wave of demonic energy.
It all happend so slow, yet so fast...
Kyo's heart beated loudly in his head, his eyes on the woman near him..
Ba-bump..
'Tohru..'
Ba-Bump
'No.. Tohru...'
Ba-Bump
'I won't fail you.. Tohru..'
Ba-Bump
'You're the only one who cared, who accepted me..'
Ba-Bump
'I love you..'
Ba-Bump
"TOHRU!"
Kyo's body flung itself upward, his back arched and falling forward. Akito paused to look at the beaten angel. "What tha..?"
Kyo's body started to glow a heavenly auraa. His skin was brightened againt the dark night. His orange hair slowly ruffled against the unknown winds surrounding him.. His red eyes opened, peircing at Akito.
Akito started to worry, but couldn't move under the gaze, he was paralysed. Tohru looked on as well, unable to comprehend what was happening.. Kyo hunched over, his nakid back pulcing a wave of light across the park.
A bright white light shot out of His back in a strong movement. The light shapped as wings, grew details, such as fine velvet feathers. The sudden weight on Kyo made him lean back, his mouth open in a silent battle cry. His eyes were red and had a farr off look. The angel wings spread out, stretching as if for the first time. At the bust, some of the feathers of the wings softly drifed to the ground, turning into nothing but a sparkling light, as if water, and vanished before seeping into the grass. Kyo straightened back up, his clothes slowly ruftling as he took another glance at Akito.
This time, Akito was scared. He grabbed onto Tohru, yanking her by the hair off the ground and laughing, "Don't move Kyo, or the girl gets a one way trip to hell!"
Tohru stiffled a cry feeling her body being dangled by the hair.
Kyo started walking toward Akito slowly, no real emotions on his face except anger.
Akito looked at Kyo's form nervously, he ran a hand down Tohru's jaw dangerously, "Unless you want this pretty face hurt?" Akito would rather die then show he was afraid for a rejected angel. He laughed darkly.
The laugh didn't last long though, because Kyo vanished, and reapeared grabbing Akito by the throat. The sudden movement surprised Akito, and he dropped Tohru.
Tohru fell to the ground and looked at Kyo. his body was glowing in a brght light. Not one shadow existed on his pure body. Tohru was awed at him, his brave movements were strong and sleek, like a cat. He looked so beautiful, even though he was about to kill Akito. Tohru lost her voice as she tried to beg Kyo to show him mercy.
Kyo's body pulsed again, and Akito's body was burned at Kyo's touch. Kyo threw punches and kicks at Akito, each barley visible to the human eye. Akito's gruns and cries of pain were silent. Kyo elbowed Akito in the back of the neck, sending Akito into the ground. He threw a kick across his face, sending him into a tree. Seeing Akito curse him, Kyo drew a pure force within his body. He whipped his hand to the side, as if slapping Akito from far away. A bright bolt of light escaped him, slaming toward Akito. The aura was so bright it looked thick, like an enormous attack.
"DAMN YOU!" Akito's yell was drowned out as the bright light consumed his body, turning it to ash and eating away at the dark arua..
The attack took moments before it vanished, leaving no trace of Akito to be seen..
Kyo opened his eyes slowly. Everything was blurry at first, but he could make out Tohru looking over him in concern. As his vision cleared up he saw her beautiul face staring down at him, worry all over her features. He had apparently passed out right after he defeated Akito.
" ...Hey.. What's with.. the look?" Kyo was too weak to speak at the moment. Tohru threw her arms around his neck, sobbing against his chest, "Oh Kyo! I was so worried! I thought.. I thought he'd kill you! I'm sorry I didn't stay away but I couldn't leave you alone... I'm so sorry!" she continued sobbing, "I'm" She was cut off feeling Kyo's hand over her mouth, "Oy, woman! It wasn't your fault!" Tohru looked at him in confusion, Kyo continued, "If anything you helped.. Tohru I was so afraid back there.. That you would get hurt. I just snapped.."
Kyo's hand trailed to caress her cheek, wiping away her tears with his thumb. His gaze was soft as he looked at Tohru. "I'm so glad you're okay, Kyo."
Kyo smiled a lopsidded grin, "I'm glad you are too.."
'You gave me the strength...
To conqur the demons..
..and win in the battle of my emotions.'
Back at the house, after Kyo reluctantly carried Yuki down the blocks with Tohru slowly walking at his side, Tohru instantly started to treat the angels' wounds.
Yuki's eyes tightened together, signing that he was waking up. He slid his eyes open and looked at Tohru, then to Kyo, " ..We.. won?"
Kyo nodded slowly, "Yeah."
Tohru smiled brightly and wrapped the bandage around Yuki's upper arm. She smiled at her, "Thank you Miss Honda." Tohru smiled, "You shoudn't thank me! You helped save us! And if you should thank anyone, it should be Kyo."
Kyo blushed as Tohru and Yuki turned their attention to him. He looked away from them to hide his blush, "It's not like I would leave you there. Jeez." Tohru giggles and tied the bandage in a lose knot and straighened up, gathering the bloody rag and Yuki's torn shirt. "I'll go ahead and make us a snack." Kyo shook his head at her, "Tohru, we can't eat after all that, and I'm sure you're about to pass out any seond now." He took the load out of Tohru's hands and dropped them in the hamper. Yuki looked on at this in interest.
Tohru shook her head, "No no no, I need to clean Yuki's clothes or the blood will stain! And I can handle myself Kyo. I'm grateful that you worry over me, it makes me feel happy, but I can handle it, really." She smiled weakly at him. She was indeed tired over the experience, but her will was stronger than her body was.
She stopped when her eyes made contact with Kyo's. His eyes weren't sad or confused, but calm and understanding. She blushed a shade of scarlet when his hand rested on her back and he guided Tohru out the room for Yuki to rest. He chuckled as shook his head at her, "No, you're going straight to bed." His voice was smooth and steady.
Yuki watched them leave the room with saddened eyes. They were truley in love, and it wasn't allowed.
Kyo opened the door and gently nudged Tohru into her room. She glanced at him in confusion, and Kyo smiled tenderly at her. He was in love with her. He loved her smile, her grace, her love to everything and her forgiving nature. She was perfect, a true angel from heaven. And she even risked her life to help him. She was an amazing woman. He understood his feelings, but was still dazed over the battle. He patted Tohru on her head. "G'night Tohru." She smiled at him before she closed the door, "Good night Kyo, sweet dreams."
Kyo stared at the door for a moment before walking into his own room to sleep, he would shower in the morning.
The scent of eggs and bacon filled the kitchen as dear Tohru Honda cooked breakfast. She yawned sleepily, having little sleep that night. You would imagine Tohru would pass out right when her face met the pillow, but she tossed and turned with the new emotions inside of her.
She couldn't get Kyo's face out her mind, and when she tried the sheep method, she ended up couning angels. Ahg! She would see Kyo's face again and it was all for nothing. And when she would see Kyo's face, he was more handsome and graceful as ever. His sleek muscles and toned skin, as well as he untamed orange locks and firey intence ruby eyes that could read your soul and his...
Bad Tohru! Bad thoughts! She blushed uncontrollably. See? It was just like last night!
Dear Tohru was in love.
She shook her head and looked shaply at the fried eggs, which were left alone in the past moments. She gasped and started to chop at them, fluffing them. 'Guess they're scarambled eggs now..' She tried to focus more on her cooking instead of Kyo.
She turned the stove off and turned on the radio. 'Maybe some music will distract me.'
She started listening to the woman's voice, not really hearing the words as she slid the bread in the toaster and flipped it on. However the refrain caught her off gaurd and she whipped to stare at the radio...
When I think about rain.. I think about singing.
When I think about singing, it's a heavenly tune..
When I think about heaven then I think about angels..
When I think about angels then I think about you..
Tohru blushed as the words soaked in, comparing them to her own love for Kyo, whom was sleeping upstairs. She watched the radio, listening to it as the song contiued, her eyes widened abit.
Everywhere I go.. Everything I do.
Everything around me baby makes me think of you...
When I tihnk about rain.. I tihnk about singing.
When I think about singing it's a heavenly tune..
When I think about heaven, then I think about angels..
When I think about angels then I think about you..
She turned the radio off, as well as the stove and paused. Sure she only recently would be able to actually understand thesong, but it was still surprising.. She rested her fingers on her lips and stared off in thought. She had to tell kyo of these feelings. She couldn't get around it any longer. She was in love with kyo, and he had to know.. even if he rejected her, that was a price she was willing to take.
Not one she was really thinking about, mind you.
"What's for breakfast?"
Kya!
Tohru jumped up, hearing Kyo from behind her. How long was she standing there? She stumbled back abit and aainst Kyo's chest. She blushed more, was he that close behind her? Kyo gripped his upper arms gently to help her steady. She turned around o face him with a blush, "Uh.. G-Good morning Kyo." she smiled cheerfully at him. Kyo smiled back, "Morning Tohru."
'Should I tell him now?'
"Yes, good morning Miss Honda."
Tohru glanced behind Kyo to Yuki, who sleepily smiled at her from the doorway. She must have been out for quite a while. She blushed more in embarassment. Good thing she turned the stove off.
"Good morning Yuki. Are you feeling any better?" Yuki smiled, "Yes indeed, thank you Miss Honda." Tohru looked to Kyo, "Are you feeling better as well Kyo?" Kyo scoofed, "Of course I am! I was the one carring Yuki home, remember?" Tohru blushed and looked down in shame, "Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I forgot."
Kyo blinked. 'Ahg. Stupid, I made her feel bad.' He fumbled abit, trying to think of something to say withought embarrising himself in front of Yuki, "Hey, it's alright and all I didn't.. didn't mean for it to come out so harsh. Sorry, okay?" Tohru looked at him and smiled softly, "Mhm." she fixed them each a plate of eggs, bacon and toast and a glass of orange juicemilk for Kyo of course.
It wasn't till halfway through the meal that Tohru realized...
..."Kya! I forgot all about work!" Panic mode. Tohru flailed her arms and was about to bolt out the kitchen when Yuki spoke up, "Tohru, I called your boss and informed him that you were sick and had to stay home.. doctors orders."
Tohru looked at Yuki, "B-ut.."
"Tohru, you're staying home. It's too much pressure after what happend. Besides, I need to work things out about this Akito and Dark one business." Tohru blinked, "What?"
Yuki nodded, "I'll be returned to heaven to discuss these matters with the Father, and be returning in the morning, hopefully." Kyo grumbled, "Better not say anything bad about me in your report."
"Of course not, you did only annoy me and got yourself nearly killed, after all."
"Shut up you ass."
Tohru sweatdropped and ate her breakfast as the two bickered. It was just like a family.
Tohru, Kyo and Yuki took turns to take a shower and while Yuki worked on his report, Kyo trained outside. During the time Tohru did the laundry and cleaned the kitchen, straightening up here and there. After a short time, or what seemed so, Yuki had returned to heaven to discuss matters with the Father.
Haru, Kisa and Hiro had saw the whole battle, and were all currently nussled up on the fold up sofa, asleep. Haru was sleeping on the right, with little Kisa's arm wrapped around his arm, and her hand clasping Hiro's who was sleeping at her right. They were all covered with a blanket and the crystal balled gave a soft, calm glow. They slap like that the whole ime, being exasted of watching everything they did, and trying to discuss what would happen with Kyo and Yuki..
..Then they all passed out and slep soundlessly. How adorable.
Someone behind the couch poked Haru gently on the shoulder, "Haru."
Haru stirred and glanced up to see Shigure's grinning face, "I hope I didn't interrupt anything." Haru narrowed his eyes, "Shigure.."
Shigure motioned Haru to get up and the angel slipped out of Kisa's grip. She whimped at the loss of warmth before turning over and snuggling up with Hiro, who just continued to snore softly.
"What are you doing here?" Haru asked in a whisper, "Yuki's down on earth." Shigure nodded, "Yes, I know. I came to inform you he's returned and having a meeting with the Father. Therefore he won't need the crystal ball.. and you have no need to crash here." Haru rolled his eyes, then nodded, "Alright."
Shigure nodded, "I'm heading off now." Haru blinked in question and Shigure smiled, "I have a plan with the Father for our little Romeo and Juliet."
"What is it?"
Shigure laughed softly, as not to wake the younger angels, "Haha, you'll have to wait and seee!" he sung a 'goodbye and departed, leaving Haru to watch, "..."
