Questioned of Self

Chapter 2: A Loyal Servant

"Where could he have gone to without my permission?" Rosiel was pissed.

"I'm not sure my lord." Katan answered as he finished making Rosiel's bed. Rosiel draped his lithe form on a chair behind an adorn desk of mahogany and gold wearing only a silk robe. While he waited for Lucifer to come he admired his long legs until he heard the servant's foot falls.

"Where were you?" He snapped at Lucifer. The young angel immediately knelt at Rosiel's side where he gently kissed his hand in forgiveness.

"Forgive me. I was exploring." Rosiel thought about it then gently brushed back a black bang of hair out of Lucifer's face.

"I always keep forgetting that it has been eons since you've last seen the world. Next time you go off exploring alert me. Last ting I need is for Heaven to know you're back." Lucifer nodded.

"Now go off until I call for you again and stay in the grounds!"

"Yes Rosiel." Lucifer walked out of the room after exchanging suspicious glances towards Katan. Once his presence was long gone from the room Katan spoke.

"I do not trust him. He's hiding something."

"I know." Rosiel agreed. "But he will eventually get the consequences. For now I am too weary and drowsy to punish him." Katan said nothing more on the matter. "But do keep an eye on him Katan."

"Yes my lord." He walked out of the room to follow Lucifer.

Lucifer sat in his room with the drapes closed to shut out the light. His eyes weren't accustomed to the sun yet. His mind was in deep thought of his night with the Savior.

"Watching you is my favorite past time." Lucifer only needed one guess to tell who that was.

"It's dangerous to be here, Belial. Go back until I call on you."

"Why, is the lord of Hell showing worry for me?"

"No," He answered truthfully. "That Katan will be here shortly to check on me. Get out of here before I have to deal with him."

"As you wish my lord. Call me if you need anything." As quickly as Belial appeared she disappeared before Katan walked through the double doors.

"What do you want?" Lucifer growled.

"I would like to ask where you have been during the night."

"It's none of your business. Your master seemed to not care."

"Lord Rosiel may not have but I do. Where were you?" Lucifer knew that Katan would never leave until he told him something. He got up from his chair and walked towards the cherub until they were centimeters apart.

"I saw him." He whispered plainly.

"You met with the Savior!" Katan gasped. "I'm surprised you were so foolish Lucifer, you never were in the past."

"I only wanted a question to be answered. Nothing more." Lucifer tried to explain his actions without getting out his whole story.

"And what question was that?" Lucifer didn't want to say.

"I asked him, how was he going to defeat Lord Rosiel with such weak power?" He saw Katan smile in agreement.

"And what did he say?" Katan asked.

"He didn't answer because you two were calling me!" Lucifer snapped. Katan frowned at this.

"Well it was a mistake for you to be on enemy grounds."

"They are my grounds! Hell is my domain." Lucifer corrected but Katan corrected him in response.

"No, this is your domain now. Under Rosiel's rule you are his servant; no more no less." Katan left the conversation at that and walked out of his room leaving Lucifer staggered at the answer and truth of the situation he was in.

I'm not his servant. I'm no ones servant but my own! He laid his head on one of the many pillows cluttering his bed and stared at the wall on his opposite side while singing that sentence in his thoughts.

"Setsuna, are you cool man?" Kato didn't show much care in his stance but Setsuna knew him well enough that he meant it.

"Yah, I'm really tired though." He answered rubbing his eyes.

"Well what else would you expect walking through the palace all night! Do you need something because I know these sleeping pills that can do a while lot." Kat knew his advice wasn't working from the way Setsuna's eyes sadly looked at him. He sighed. "I know man." He cooed gently. "I miss him too. He was the closet thing I had to anything, a brother, a teacher, sometimes a father. But he's gone now and knowing Kira he wouldn't want us to mope around for him."

Setsuna agreed but he also had something on his mind. Lucifer's curiosity was something one would suspect he had for Kira much less interest.

"Kato,"

"Yah?"

"Last night, when I was in the gardens by myself, someone came to me."

"Who? Sara." Kato wondered.

"No, the last person I ever thought would show his face."

"And who would that be?" Kato asked.

"It was Lucifer. Lucifer met with me last night in the gardens."

"And you didn't alert anyone! Setsuna, are you high on something?"

"Listen," Setsuna rose to his feet. "I would have alerted someone but his manner stopped me. He just wanted to ask a question. One that he seemed too sad not to know that answer of."

"And what question was that?" Kato asked.

"He asked me, who was Kira. I was so shocked that I couldn't find words to explain who Kira was. There was so much to tell and just looking at him was unbearable because I'm so use to knowing that face is Kira. He left before I could answer and said he would come again tonight." Setsuna looked at the sky where Lucifer would be descending from soon.

"Then I have to be there when he does." Kato said.

"No! I don't think he would feel comfortable with that." Setsuna replied.

"So what! What if he does something shady? What if all of his 'questioning' stuff is just a way to throw you off your feet?"

"He told me that he was on his own accord and not Rosiel's." Setsuna tried to reassure him.

"But he is the enemy now! You can't see that because he has Kira's face but behind that is the most malicious thing in existence! Come on, this guy is the one and only Devil! The original fallen angel, God's most prized traitor, Satan! And you should know from all the movies and books that Satan can not be trusted. Lying is his only communication."

"Well if you think so then you can be there when he comes. But he needs to know the truth."

"Since when?" Kato was shocked that Setsuna wanted to help Lucifer.

"It's not right to leave an orphan in the cold just as it's not right to leave Lucifer without knowing who he was."

"Setsuna," Kato frowned. He dropped his voice to speak gently. "You are still thinking that this is Kira but its not."

So the truth is coming soon! Will Lucifer be on his good behavior when he learns the truth? Will he even like the truth? REVIEW!
