'Talking'

-Thoughts-

Rey felt his heart nearly stop when Luca fell. Unconscious into his arms, luckily he had a good hold of Luca's arm to hold him steadily or Luca will have a head injury from the fall.

'Luca! Luca! Are you alright?! Luca!' called the purple haired angel in alarm as he nudged Luca gently to see if he was responding. The other Saint Beasts gathered around them to see if their friend was alright. Luca remained immobile with a pain stricken expression and droplets of sweat were visible on his fair face. To make things worse and worrying, his breathing was irregular and Luca was getting warm alarmingly warm. Judas placed his fingers to inspect his heartbeat, his frown began to deepen.

'This is not normal. His heartbeats are erratic. We need to bring him to the healers,' said the red head with pure worry, quickly hooked one of Luca's limp arms and placed a strong arm around his friend's waist. Rey did the same. Then, Rey saw something something red, causing him to gasp in horror.

Judas saw it too and their panic heightened to the max. Blood was escaping endlessly from Luca's dangerously pale lips.

-Crap! What caused the seal to react so violently like that?- thought Judas with a frown.

'The Goddess's shrine is not far away. We get treatment from there,' suggested Goh. Yuda nodded and the Saint Beasts made their way towards the Goddess's Shrine.

Without them realizing, someone was watching them from afar with his black eyes. His eyes were designed to look beyond the limits of these lowly angels, observing the scene from the clouds high above Yuki's Shrine. He was invisible from anyone's eyes especially those useless bodyguards of her. He could have annihilated them in one go. However, that will alert a certain someone of his presence and his surprise would be ruined. He smirked, revealing incredible sharp and dangerous teeth. Everything was going as smoothly as he anticipated.

–Soon this will be all mine. Neither where nor when- he thought darkly as he imaged how his Heaven looked like.

'Seize your thoughts, Master. Your aura is giving out unnecessary attention, the guards might come to investigate,' someone advised him from behind. He turned his eyes to meet the brave body eye-to-eye, the atmosphere was sickening dark and dirty. Perfect for his taste and mind, bringing fear and taint in every path he walked. He unconsciously licked his lips and leaned forward, kissing those cold lips.

'Let them come. I'm hungry for curious angels, Shin'

Pain

Destruction

Chaos

Red

Blood

Those were the things he saw. Dead angels on the ground, splattering it with blood and tears and some were begging for mercy. There was no peace in Heaven and Earth if they disobey their ruler. Disobedience led to torment and death. And they led themselves into their own grave. Anger, fear and despair fuelled their king's bloodlust. It was paradise. The creature grinned menacingly at his blissful thoughts. The screams, the blood and the whimpers were melody to his ears. He placed his hand on his prisoner's heart, relishing the thundering beat as he slowly spread his fingers. His blood lust black eyes were dancing in joy to see him dying in his hands. He leaned forward.

'Don't worry. I'll take goooooood care of them,' he whispered against his ear before he penetrated into his heart with his sharp fingers and he felt pain. Agonizing pain

Luca sprang out of his slumber, huffing and gasping for air. His hand was placed on his chest, fearing that it was reality. Once he had regained his breath and calmed his heart, he looked around his unfamiliar surroundings. How did he get here? Where are the others? They last thing he remembered was Shin found a necklace and... the seal...reacted. Luca reached up his forehead, the turban was still intact but he noticed that his collar was removed and he could take big gulps of air. The seal never acted like this before. True, he had a few faint stings from time to time but this time, it was different. It was ten times worse than the previous ones. Although he was awake from the nightmare, he couldn't stop himself from thinking of the creature especially his eyes. His sclera was red instead of white. He narrowed his brows –Who is he? Was that Heaven? Filled with death and despair? Was that only a dream or...- his mind went crazy with the possibilities that will cause his nightmare into a reality. He felt numb.

'Enough with those disgusting thoughts, Luca. You're giving me a serious dose of migraine and I am too fed up to endure it again,' muttered a very familiar feminine voice. Luca turned his head to see a very pissed off dark blue haired lady sitting on a chair a few feet beside the bed with a glass of green ooze which seems suspiciously like a glass of poison.

'Lyre?' said the silver haired angel with his eyes wide open.

'Happy to see me? Too bad I couldn't say the same to you Luca,' said the lady as she stood up from her seat with an irritated tone and made her way towards the bed.'What happened?' asked Luca, confuse to see her and being in an unfamiliar room.

'You are in Yuki's guest room. Your Saint Beasts friends brought you here and I treated you,' she answered

'Your body needed to be filtered due to that filthy curse. Not to mention, a severe side effect from the head injury that nearly smashed your brains out (Even though I like that idea)-'

'But I thought the orb lifted the curse,' interjected Luca, trying to think things through. Zeus had personally told Shiva that orb would settle everything.

'It did. But, there are still some lingered in you and that Judas boy even though both of you felt nothing. It grew and affected you like a damn parasite,'

'Took me nearly four days and a half get rid of it all and heal you. You owe me big time for this, you crazy idiot,' sneered the lady as she shoved the glass to Luca's hands. She haven't told him how worried his friends were when they heard of his state especially that purple one. She wondered what was his name again, he was the that she had to promise to them that she would send him back to Heaven Palace once he was healed and completely flawless so that they would be able to get home completely at ease and not coming from time to time to ask of his life threatening condition.

She appreciate the fact that Luca had some good friends because he was never really good at making friends on his own since he was little but she really didn't like it when they took it to the extreme like ignoring diet and didn't get any sleep due to worry. This patient was enough to give her a headache and a few loss of hair, she couldn't image she had to console with five more. Sighing in annoyance,they could have waited for Zeus to make his grand appearance and trap those good-for-nothing souls in that box of his. She looked down at her quiet patient before continuing with her arms crossed.

'Drink this for a month, twice a day. It gives a boost to your immune system,'

'...'

'Go ahead. Drink it, it's not poison,' said Lyre bluntly as she watched his every move, knowing that Luca would dump the whole content to a nearby potted plant or anywhere whenever she turned her back. He was rather creative in hiding things.

Luca nodded and took a sip, trying to ignore the foul smell and bubbly emitting from the glass. Once the liquid stepped foot into his tongue, he tried his very best not to vomit the whole thing. It was foul, unusually foul. She must have added something into it. He couldn't even picture himself drinking this thing for a month! Was this a punishment or something? Suddenly, he remembered that she was one of those who knew how to hold a grudge on someone. He groaned and braced himself to swallow the whole horrible thing.

She gave him a sweet and innocent smile and placed a kiss on his cheek .

'That's a good boy. Come on, I need to give you another check up then you get out of here. I know a certain someone would be thrill to see you standing on your own two feet,'

Luca made no comment but Lyre was certain she saw the slightest tint of redness on his pale face and she was certain that it was not the weather nor the kiss.

'Alright, now strip,'

'?!'

'What ? It's not like I haven't seen you naked before,'

'I can't believe he actually let you live in here!' said Lyre in disbelief as they were getting closer and closer to the Heaven Palace. By the time they got there it was dark and the other 5 Saint Beasts might be having their dinner. As Luca and Lyre walked, Luca was bombarded with complains and tantrums.

'This is way better than those insignificant guest rooms in Zeus-Sama's Shrine and those high priests of his were completely rambunctious. Seriously, I never seen or heard anything like it, they were so obsessed of him that they didn't even realize that I dumped weed in his wine. Weed! That thing is literally floating on the glass and boy, was he so pissed off,'

She went on and on, Luca only responded a few and gave a bit of his opinions whenever it was necessary. She tends to talk more than listening to others opinion just like how she talked him into wearing the clothings that she had brought.

The dinning table was not exactly lively like the any other days even Gai was horribly quiet. Usually he was the one cheering everyone up whenever they were down. Goh, Gai, Judas and Shin were exchanging glances towards Rey. Rey had been quiet ever since he got back from Yuki-Sama's Shrine. He spoke if necessary and was always lost in thoughts. Shiva was present and it was starting to annoy Judas and the others, making things extra worse and dark. He was going to gulp the whole glass of weird liquid down his throat when Shiva barged in rudely demanding Judas's attention, making him drank half of the glass. He had been drinking it ever since the healer had ordered him to drink it for a month, saying it will filter his body or something. He had tasted it so foul in his life but orders were orders.

'It's looks disgusting. Why are you even drinking that. What is it? Looks like it is collected in a polluted swamp and manure. How can you bring yourself to drink it, Judas?'

Judas thought his dinner was going to force out if Shiva kept on continuing.

'Shiva! That's enough...,' said Goh as he stood up to slam his hands on the table, making him stop. Judas was turning slightly green and Shin had a soothing hand on Judas's hunched back worriedly.

The 4 Saint Beasts' eyes went wide when they saw the lady walking into the room with her arms crossed and a deep angry frown shown on her face. Goh could almost see a vein pumping on her temple. She didn't seemed happy on those comments.

'What? I am being honest on my opi-'

'Oi, little punk,'

'Huh?' Shiva turned around to face a very intimidating lady.

'If you've some nerves talking like that, how about saying that to me. Face to face,' spat the angry blue haired newcomer.

What do you think ^^ I wanna know (^3^)
