Chapter seven: Pain
Ryuga's soul was sent through a life, through memories. But the memories, they weren't his own. The memories belonged to someone else. He opened his like a bullet being fired. He grasp for air to fill his lungs. There was a bright light above him it hindered his eyes from seeing clearly. The only thing he saw was a silhouette coming to his body. He could not move a single inch, the body of his wouldn't obey his orders. And even his ears rebelled against giving him any kind of information. Ryuga wouldn't be stopped by such a uncooperative host. His entire soul demanded to be in control or accept the destruction of the body.
He has been obeyed. The nothingness he sensed would change into a strong ringing and physical pain up to the point where even the tongue gave all kind of tastes free, before he started to feel what was happening right now. The silhouette blocking the light was a medical worker. Ryuga started speaking but a different voice came out of his mouth. It was the voice of an adult woman. He had no idea who's voice it was and he didn't care either." Wh-where am I ?" The medical worker answered:" Careful ma'am you're in an ambulance. You had a very serious car crash. We are taking you to the hospital."
Ryuga sat up despite the medical worked trying to stop him. He took a look at his new body. He thought `Hmm not what I expected but it will do.` He had possessed a young adult woman. Probably in her mid-twenties, and pretty attractive. He knew that if he gets in the hospital he would only waste valuable time. After a quick thought process he decided on his next move. He grabbed the worker by the throat giving him no chance to react. He was confused as why the woman sitting there would do this. He tried to break free but Ryuga was way to strong to be overwhelmed by a normal human. Ryuga didn't want to kill a most likely innocent person, so he forced the worker unconscious by brutally forcing his own forehead against the man's nose. He almost instantly fell down and went to a deep sleep on the floor. Ryuga went to the back-doors of the ambulance and opened them. They were driving through the dark night not a single human to be seen. Ryuga took his chance and jumped out of the moving vehicle.
He shielded his face with his arms. The rest of the body was severely damaged once he came to stop. New wounds were bleeding and burning like a relieving fire wanting to brake free. It was most likely his soul trying to leave the body. But he wouldn't allow it, not until he had his revenge. As soon as he got of the road and onto the sidewalk he looked around to find out where exactly he was. Sadly he didn't recognize his surroundings. He took a deep breath and felt the oxygen filling his lungs and spending him life. As he looked at his arms he noticed that the wounds were healed and not even the slightest scar was to be seen. It almost seemed like his demon powers healed the woman's body. And that's when he felt it, the burning from before, this incredible strength." What's this? This power flowing up from deep within me. This huge flood of energy." A almost maniacal laughter came out of his mouth." Hahaha, HAHAHA. THIS IS AMA-ZIIIIIIIIINNNNNG!" Suddenly deep red and black lighting came out of his body, destroying every street light on the whole block leaving his surroundings in darkness.
He never felt this good in his entire existence. But he choose to keep his vision on his goal instead of going wild. He calmly walked out of the block and headed towards the famous TV-tower. He would love to experience the legendary view one more time, but sadly he didn't had the time for that. On his way to his signpost he started to recognise the area. It was his old way to school. He remembered that he always had a race with his best friend to see who would be faster. He always lost, and it was the most fun he had everyday. He asked himself what his best friend would be doing right now. At this time he had to be home. So that's where he went, he took the subway to his old neighbourhood. As he got closer he felt the pain that was at the same time relieving. As soon as he saw the houses he would visit so often and his own house his eyes teared up. He quickly wiped them away and turned his sadness into a sheer raging fire of revenge and hatred. He wouldn't show any weakness, he couldn't.
He got a lot of horny looks from some men and women on the train. As he looked at his new body he noticed that the woman who was in control before him was very attractive. It had good developed breasts and a round and cute looking butt. It also had a very pretty face that looked like the one of a celebrity. It had black hair and brown chocolate like eyes. Overall a beautiful girl that he took over. Sad thing she has to life through the next events.
The train stopped at a station near Ryuga's home. He got of and started to make his way to the home of his best friend. As he got closer and closer it became more difficult to move further to his home. The pain he felt while knowing that he just can't return is eating him from the inside. He felt terrible as he took each step. His brain was showering in all sorts of thoughts.` Is he here? Will Fabian understand? How will he react?` As he stood in front of Fabian's, aka his best friend's, house he shivered like a naked cat in the winter. The only feelings he felt were fear and pain. He looked at the house and noticed that the motorbike Fabian owned wasn't there.` If he isn't here and his bike isn't either there is only one place he could be.` As he thought of their old school memories came back. It was the two of them playing cards, laughing together and even just hanging out. Fabian was a boy the same age as Ryuga. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. The two were the same height and looked pretty descend. All in all people could confuse them as twins. As he was lost in thoughts and memories a indescribable rage spread inside of him and his anger took over. His new eyes glowed in his all to familiar red and his long hair started floating as if he was underwater. Before even realising what was happening a pair of purple-black wings grew out of his back and sucked up most of the light in the area making it impossible to see him.
He swung his wings only once and was able to lift himself of the ground with massive speeds. He was flying through the air like an angel of death, no a demon of death. He flew for a few moments before spotting his old school. Even though all the lights were turned of he knew where he was. After ten years in that shithole he would recognise it from anywhere. He spotted the bike that belonged to his best friend, Fabian, parked on the sidewalk. He landed right beside it and wanted to find the owner. He walked through the schoolyard and sure enough there he was. A sad little figure sitting at the playground drinking vodka. It was one of the biggest pains Ryuga ever felt. But he worked up the courage to talk to him one last time. He was sure he wanted to do it. He walked over to him being right behind him. He already put his wings back in and looked like a normal human again.
" Hey Fabian." Said Ryuga with a calm and sad voice. The teenager obviously drunk turned around with an angry attitude. He almost screamed:" Who the fuck are you? How do you know my name?" Ryuga was filled with sadness, anger and shame. He knew that Fabian wouldn't believe him if he said he came back to life from hell. After all in his lifetime both of them were atheists. He started talking with this voice that didn't belong to him." I know your name because we talked almost everyday for the last five years. I also know that you were always super scared of the FNAF games and never beat the second night. I also know that you first had a blue eyes setup, then exodia, and then we stopped playing yugioh after you got an overpowered setup. I know that you always hated taking latin." The boys look changed from anger to confusion to disbelief. He stated to murmer some things." H-h-how do you…?" Ryuga continued talking." I know these things because I know you. Because I showed you how I really am. I showed it to you as I showed the cuts in my hand, as I got drunk with you, as we went to the gym, and so much more. And then you showed me who you really are. And if you still don't get it:"FaBiAn, YoU'Re DiSguStInG"."
Fabian looked at the boy inside the woman's body and his shocked face slowly showed his realisation that in front of him was his dead friend. He shivered and started asking his first question." Sandro? Is that you?" The demon answered quickly." Yeah, but I call myself Ryuga now. It's nice to see you again." Ryuga put on a painful smile. The two hugged each other. Fabian let tears slide down his face while Ryuga was unable to show any emotion. Fabian was confused and only said one sentence." How is this possible?" Ryuga answered while still holding his friend." Let me tell you a story."
After a long talk Ryuga told Fabian everything that had happened to him. And everything that he is going to do.
Fabian started talking." So the whole heaven and hell stuff is true?" Ryuga answered quickly." Yeah, I was pretty surprised to when I woke up and saw a pink pentagram in the skies. Oh, shit, spoiler. Heheeh sorry." Both of them laughed for a few seconds. But their happiness didn't last long. Ryuga quickly asked the most Important question he had."…..Where is she?" Fabian's face turned to shock and fear. He wasn't sure what his friend would do once he found her. But there was only one real answer. He stuttered and chocked on his next words." W-Why do you want to-" Ryuga cut him off." YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHY I WANT TO FIND THIS EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEEING!" In his rage his pitch black claws dug their way out of the muscles and the skin of the female body. None of the two noticed them since it was already night-time. Ryuga calmed down and started talking again." I'm sorry that I yelled at you it's just." He couldn't continue his sentence without breaking. Fabian put a hand on his shoulder. As Fabian started talking Ryuga felt save again. Something he didn't have in a long time." Hey, it's ok man….. she has a show tonight. At the good night studios. It should be over in about half an hour."
There was only silence. Pure thankful silence that made both of them knew what would happened tonight. Ryuga stood up and walked away while Fabian just took another sip of his drink. As soon as he brought enough distance between them Ryuga got out his wings and flew of into the darkness of the night.
Meanwhile at the hotel: Angel was lead to the party that was organised mostly for him. Every decoration was in his pink and white theme. He was very happy as he saw all of the people who were there. Even his brother, Aracnis, was there to support him. There was a boul with punch and balloons it looked like a very special birthday party. Angel was very surprised that it was seemingly only for him. He thought that someone wanted something from him.
"Hey Angel." Charlie greeted and hugged him as soon as she saw him. Angel responded with a confused: "Ehm, heyy. Toths." He gently tried showing her away. He was a bit nervous as to what would happened next.
Traditional Italian music started playing. Angel didn't heard something like that since his childhood. He remembered how it was. He remembered the strong sun on his skin and the warmth of it, he remembered the smell of fresh bread that woke him up every single morning, and he remembered playing with his sister molly and his brother Aracnis. He felt like home again. He felt good. Good enough to try and enjoy the party. Ar (short for Aracnis) got him to a table where a big cake was waiting to be eaten. It had the same white and pink colouring as the rest of the party.
Angel took a bite out of it, and the taste of the vanilla in mix with the strawberry was wonderful. It was all fun and games as they all had a good time and even danced. Angel had a lot of fun, so he wanted to thank Charlie for it." Hey Charlie, I just wanted to say….thank you for this. I really didn't expect to get that much for just staying at the hotel." Charlie quickly corrected him as she wasn't a person that would take someone elses thanks:" Oh no, I didn't do this. Cherrie bomb is the one who is responsible for this stuff." Angel looked as if someone told him he won a new car. He knew that Cherrie liked him as a friend, but he never knew that friends would do something this big. He looked around to find Cherrie at the entrance of the stage.
He walked over to her and hugged her. This was a very rare sight as he never hugged someone he didn't have sex with. He started talking in a high, soft voice. " Why? Why are you doing something so nice for me? I didn't deserve something as good as that." Cherrie looked at him before answering:" Because you are my friend and you need this right now. So what do you say? You wanna give em a show?" Cherrie pointed to the big stage behind them and both of them were extremely exited to sing. It wasn't a hellwide concert with Lilith but it was more than enough to make Angel have a great time. They quickly changed behind the stage and presented their song to the figures watching them. It was the famous addicted song Angel wrote all by himself. (Check it out its awesome.)
Meanwhile in the basement Alastor drunk some liquor. It was a 1884 Champaign. He loved these old drinks. As he watched the blood dropping from the angel spear he became hungry. He knew that he couldn't take a bite from the chained up young meat hanging right in front of him totally helpless. He never tried german meet in his cannibalistic times. Alastor was really attracted to just cut some of Ryuga's muscles of and eat it while tasting a glass of blood. He resisted the urge to life out his newfound killing fantasies. As he heard the music from upstairs Al got in quite the musical mode. He started to sing.
" I've got a game I want to show you.
If I tell you my name you have to play too.
I've been here for years binding my time
Waiting and primed.
Until I could find you….."
As he continued so did the song in the hotel lobby. Angel started singing in a harmonically relation to Alastor, which was even more impressive considering that none of them heard the other one.
Angel:"….and I think I deserve some praise for the way that I aaaaaaham.
Al:"….Oh its almost like you're flirting.
Angel:" I let my emotions go, fuck me in the soberho."
Al:" If you ask me to stay I would be charmed to."
Angel:" I'm addicted, to the madness."
Al:" How do you survive, like that I wish I knew."
Angel: " I am addicted to the sorrow when the buzz ends by tomorrow."
Al:" SO YOU, give mister Alastor a call, to make a deal."
Angel:" Maybe things wont be so terrible inside this hotel."
Al:" Have a dark thought I'm right beside you.
A casual wispher just to guide you. Look over your shoulder and I'm gone.
Remember this song. And I bid you Adieu."
And just like that the strange duet ended. Neither of them knowing the beauty of their combined voices.
(Sorry that I needed so long for something this short but it was hot. Like hot af, and I don't have anything to cool me down, so its quite difficult to concentrate on anything right now. You can still decide if Ryuga really gets his revenge or if he shows mercy. See you next time friends.)
