Chapter Four
Chasing Death Shinigami
Sitting on the rooftop of Shinigami's place waiting paitently for him to return. Sensing a strange distrubance in the air, I flew off in the direction towards the setting sun. Ten blocks or so away from the lone building on the outskirts of the city was a dark ready to fall building. Drawing closer to the abandon building ready to fall down on the life down below. Landing silently behind the shorter of the three. "What's wrong?" I ask, Startling the three humans.
"Gabriel, Where did you come from?" I just roll my eyes from the stupid question. Actually the most obvious question would be where's Shinigami? Of course I don't say this out loud. As if they were reading my minds they all point to the roof. So that's where he's hiding. Taking off to the roof in a nano second reaching the top faster than i thought i would have. I stare with wide eyes froze in mid air. The Dark aurora around the fiqure was not of the Shinigami himself but of someone with higher power and strength. From my view point he was standing over someone or something. I edge closer but not to close for him to sense me even if he did he probablly didn't care at the moment until I become a threat. Getting close enough to see around him I see Shinigami on the ground on his knees, he looked like he was in pain.
"What's wrong my old friend? Can't fight back anymore? Ha! The Mighty Shinigami on his knees cowering before me." I had to cover my ears slightly because of the high pitch sound coming from his throat. "I'm not a coward, I can still fight. I won't give up." I stare in disbelieve that Shinigami can still fight but another part of me says that he can. Hopeing against Hope that sealing his magic away is a good idea because then he will forever be blinded from the tug between the three sides two which is good and evil, and live his life the way he wants to.
"G-Gabriel...what are you...doing here?" Shinigami stammers. Hearing him call to me brings me out of my thoughts back to reality of what is going on in front of me. The dark sinster aurura that was held by the man standing in front of me spins on his heels and faces me with the wickedest smiles playing on his lips. Taking a slow step backwards from shock...but he just keeps grinning at me I really didn't have time to see the ball of energy flying at me or Shinigami shielding me from the full force of the blast. Hearing his soft cries to have me run but I was scared shitless to even move. "Gabriel please run...this fight does not concern you at all. I don't want to see you get hurt" He whisper's the last part to me. My anger finally returning to me why I hated him so much for ten years comes back with such force I turn around about to leave, but the pain in my chest would not go away...for the first time I realized I have been chasing him for so long was because I have...no don't even finish that thought. It still didn't explain why I had risked my life to same him the other night and healing all of his wounds and restoring his power to him. I was shooken from my thought by a powerful surge of intense dark riviting power coming from Shinigami, Watching in fasination as his wings seeming unfold in a slow magestic display and the long sythe and robe slowly flowing down to his feet hiding them in complete darkness.
"Thank you Gabriel, I'll take it from here. Gabriel?" I was starting lose consiousness from all the dark energy around in the atmosphere...gravity was taking affect as I fall to the ground before I hit the hard surface I was caught by a pair of strong arms. "Hold on Gabriel, I'll get you some help, just hang in there." A small smile graces my features and i silently whisper a thank you to him while leaning my head on his shoulder as my eyes drift shut.
"Gabriel...Gabriel? Please wake up, please..." whines Shinigami. "It's about time he finally dies." I was able to hear everything but I couldn't find the strength to wake up. The Prince of the underworld may think that I have died but I'm far from death actually thats fiqureativly speaking that is because death is right next to me or i should say with me. I suddenly felt the wave of nausousness over come me again...I thought I was riding a never ending rollar coaster...another surge of power overwhelmed me I know who that mass of power was coming from I tried to scream out to Shinigami not to use all of that dark evil power that has been laying dormant within him for ten years.
TBC...
What will happen next? Will Shinigami become evil or fight the evil power from within him and save Gabriel from all of the negative power that will crush him? Review and hope that I update as soon as possible.
