Questioned of Self
Chapter 3: The Truth of Kira
The night was young and Setsuna sat on the cold stone edge of the same fountain he sat on last night. Kato hid in the back round and melted within the scenery but his fight with sleep wasn't as strong as Setsuna's. His eyes fluttered continuously.
Setsuna contemplated where to start answering the question. Should I tell him what Kira was? Or should I tell him what kind of guy he was? There's so much to explain, not even the night is long enough. While he thought deeply he felt the familiar chilling wind of Lucifer. Setsuna knew he was here. The boy turned around, faced to face with evil itself.
"Now will you tell me?" Lucifer asked with somber eyes. "Will you…please tell me what Kira was?" Setsuna smiled at how hard it was for Lucifer to spell the word out.
"Yah, sure." He grinned. He looked back and noticed Kato was lying on his side sleeping. What reliable friends. He thought. "So, what do you want to know?" He began.
"Everything." Lucifer answered.
"Um...Kira was my best friend, my only real friend really." He felt a little sad admitting it.
"When kids pushed me around and beat me up he saved me and protected me. Not even my father did that for me. He wasn't close to his old man neither so we kind of survived off each other."
"Kira was mortal?" Lucifer sounded a little disappointed at the fact. He imagined Kira to be some unworldly power.
"Well not really. You see Kira was like me. A reincarnation but his soul was that of Alexial's infamous sword. He followed Alexial's reincarnation though many lives and one time he took the soul of a dying human boy named Kira. He asked the boy's soul to take his body and he did... And for the rest of his 18 years of life he stuck by my side. He had the bower to regenerate so nothing could kill him mostly because of Rosiel's blood mark on his chest."
"But Rosiel did kill him." Lucifer was confused.
"Because the blood mark was fading, its power was fading."
"I see. Was Kira your lover?" Lucifer asked innocently.
"What!" Setsuna yelled. "No! Ew, I'm not gay!"
"Sorry, just last night I kind of got a sensual vibe from you—''
"Well get that out of your head! Me and Kira never did any thing like that! He had lot of girls—including Alexial."
"So wouldn't that make it true that you two loved each other?"
"No, he hated Alexial. So much that he killed her for it. I always wondered why but he died before I could ask…He was smart though. Never saw him without a book. Even though he was in 12 grade, he knew more then those fucking teachers. That's why we skipped a lot. Though I did owe him for doing most of my homework."
"To sum things; Kira was human, and reincarnation with divine powers, smart, your friend, and only 18."
"Yep." Setsuna smiled.
"That doesn't answer my question."
"What!" Setsuna gasped.
"I asked you who he was, what type of person he was. You just told me what he did." Setsuna was confused what Lucifer meant in his question.
"Hey man, I'm only a teenager. I don't know the components of humanity in man!"
"And I don't expect you to tell me. But if you knew Kira so well then you could tell me what kind of man he was."
"I do know Kira well. Probably the only one that knew him the best!"
"Then you are the only one you can answer my question."
"Bu I don't understand your question. I told you everything I know."
"Yet you didn't answer my question and so you didn't know him enough. It seems that no one really knew who Kira was." Lucifer stated.
"No! That's not true. I knew who he was." Setsuna cried.
"THEN TELL ME WHO HE WAS!" Lucifer roared.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Setsuna bellowed. Silence washed the gardens after that. Only the fountain continued trickling with water. Setsuna was breathing heavily with frustration while Lucifer remained passive.
"I've learned enough for the night. I'll come back tomorrow night to give you the day to think. Until then, make sure you come alone without your sleeping friend." Lucifer bolted from Setsuna and pushed himself off the ground with his wings hugging the air. Setsuna's eyes followed the flying angel until he was lost in the dark sky.
"Is he here yet?" Kato yelled. "Cause damn it's late! Where is he?"
"You fell asleep jackass." Setusna barked.
"He came and you didn't wake me!" Kato cried. "He could have killed you."
"Then he would lose all chances of find the truth." Setsuna continued staring at the sky. Kato rubbed his legs and made his way towards Setsuna's side.
"Did he find what he was looking for?" Kato asked. "Did you tell him who Kira was?"
"No," Setsuna frowned looking at the ground now. "I told him everything I knew but really I was just describing him what Kira was. I didn't tell him who he was."
"Uhhh? Isn't that the same thing?" Kato scratched his head.
"I guess not because he was unsatisfied with my answer. He said he'll give me the day to think of it until next time we see each other." Sesuna looked as Kato and almost went into a fury of laughter when he was that Kat's face had the imprints of grass.
"What?" Kato asked.
"Nothing." Setsuna calmed himself down. "Its no wonder Alexial loved him so. He's very interesting and I bet he was her match."
"What the hell are you talking about? What makes you think Alexial, that hot babe, would fall for the Devil."
"Whether you accept it or not, the Devil is an angel. And I think Alexial loved him because every time I see him I feel nostalgic, a very strong wave of it too."
"So what are we going to do?" Kato asked.
"I'm going to come back here tomorrow night and you'll be in your bed sleeping" Setsuna ordered.
"Like hell I am! He'll kill you if I'm not here." Kato tried to argue his case.
"You were sleeping!" Setsuna corrected
"But he knew I was here so he didn't touch you."
"You didn't even notice he was here!" Setsuna continued.
"And it was a good thing because I could have ripped him apart."
"He's a four winged angel! Powerful then Rosiel or Alexial!"
"I know." Kato replied. Setsuna gave up on Kato and walked out of the court yard.
So Lucifer wanted more then what he was given. Will Setsuna figure out the answer? Next chapter someone is going to pop in for a surprise. REVIEW!
