Chasing Death: Shinigami

Chapter three

Ugh...I started to stir in someone's arms, but whose? I really didn't know. Waking up to find Quatre, Trowa and Wufei all stareing at me. I try to sit up but that was futile since my chest hurts really badly.

"Duo how do you feel?" Wufei asks me. What do you think, I feel like hell.

"Like shit, ugh...but one question though how did I survive the fall?" I look at each of them but all was silent. Did Gabriel save me? Ha! as if that stuck up bastard couldn't care less if I survived that fall or not. He would never care about me, never has and never will. Replaying that night in my head when he first met me, I was chasing a human down an allyway, that's when he showed up and stole my heart, knocking me off my feet he had his staff near my neck. My sythe was kicked away from me. The angel Gabriel at least that's what I knew him as. Remembering a few nights after we had met there was a murder. I was sitting on the ledge of the building looking out over the city, Gabriel came down and accused me of killing his human friend. The truth was I had nothing to do with it at all. I just happened to be right there at the time.

"Duo? Duo hello anyone home?" Quatre said calling my name. Tears were falling from my eyes. Remembering that day always hurts me. Since then I have been on the run from Gabriel. Until now I just hope that he knows that I still love him.

"Quatre lets go home" Trowa and Wufei help me to my feet. I tried saying a spell to transform me back into a human, but my energy was mostly gone. Which was not good, not good at all.

"um guys, I hope somebody has a car." I said laughing sarcastically. At first they didn't understand why I said a car. Until realization hit.

"why do we need a car, can't you use a spell to make you human again?" Trowa asks in a mellow dramatic voice. Sorry to burst your bubble dude but my powers are shot. For some reason that blast that Gabriel shot at me must have took some of my powers and spells away.

"I've tried already, Gabriel must have sealed my magic away some how" I said weakly. If some of my magic is sealed away that means I can't use my healing spell. Gabriel why can't you just forget the past and start over?

"we have a major problem here. If Shinigami can't turn into a human then what?" Wufei said thinking of how we could get me past all of the people.

"I could try to cast a spell where my wings will disappear, at least until we get back to Quatre's" I said

"go for it" they all said together. Saying the spell all three of them watch in amazement as my wings slowly disappear. The spell had taken alot out of me than I had expected. As we got to the apartment I was slowly starting to sense a presence. It wasn't Gabriel that's for sure. I told them to wait down here until I knew for sure it was safe. Running inside the building and up the fourteen flight of stairs. Reaching the top flight, swinging open the door I find none other than the prince himself of the underworld.

"what are you doing here?" I said dangerously.

"Is that how you treat an old friend Shinigami? I thought you would be surprised to see me." he says darkly

"you are no longer my friend, You're the one who killed Gabriel's friend those ten years ago and he still blames me for it, you set me up." Saying all this in a fit of rage.

"wrong little Shinigami, Gabriel never did see you that night his friend was killed, because he died the very same way the human did, as will you little shinigami." I couldn't believe what he was saying. The angel Gabriel was gone, slowly falling to my knees, silent sobs were racking my body.
