"Alright! We're here!" Tsuki said as he and Miwa landed in front of the demon palace.
"Yeah, no thanks to you!" Miwa scoffed as he dusted himself off.
"Hey, if it wasn't for me you would have had to walk!" Tsuki whispered as they started to sneak around the wall.
"True, but I at least I wouldn't have lost ten years of my life!" Miwa whispered back as he looked for an opening. He was glad that at least Tsuki had enough common sense to kept quiet as the snuck around the wall.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Tsuki hissed as he turned away from him. "You only lost seven!"
"Whatever! I still lost a few years!"
"Oh, like a mere seven years is a big deal to a demon!"
"Everyday is very precious, no matter how matter how many years you have left." Miwa said as he found a large hole in the wall. "C'mon, we can get in this way."
"I can't believe they over looked this." Tsuki said as they snuck through it. Miwa shrugged.
"Oh, well. Too bad for them." he said. "Try not to trigger any traps."
"Me? Oh, please! Like I'd be stupid enough to--" He didn't get to finish for in that very moment he accidently stepped on trigger that sent a large burst of light and then the two boys found themselves surrounded by guards(GWNL: Wow. He's already caused trouble on the first page! That's a record for him!). Miwa twitched.
"You were saying?" he asked.
"Uh... I was saying you handle the guards while I look for the princess! Later!" Tsuki said as he ran pass the guards and through the garden.
"Oy!" Miwa yelled after him. "You stupid brat!!" Then he pulled out his gun and started to shoot all the demons around him.
Meanwhile Tsuki had shifted into his ghost form and was whistling happily to himself as he walked.
"Okay, that guy can take care of the demons and I'll just walk around and look for the princess! Boy I love being a god!" he grinned as he walked through the halls unnoticed. After a few minutes he realized that he didn't know where the princess was being kept.
'I should really ask these things before I run off...' he thought with a sigh. A guard came around the corner and just as he passed him Tsuki made his foot become solid and tripped him. The guard fell forward with a thud. When he was down, Tsuki jumped on him and using his ghost powers he stuck his hand inside the guard's head, his face scrunched in disgust.
'Gross! Gross! Gross! Gross! I gotta find a better way to read people's minds!' he thought as he dug through the guard's mind. When he had gotten what he wanted he slid his hand out and dropped the now drooling moronic guard on to the floor. Tsuki tugged his sleeve as he watch the demon twitch. 'Will he be alright?' he wondered as the drool puddle grew bigger. He turned as snuck away, thinking, 'Just walk away. Walk away.'
Tsuki walked down the halls, looking for the basement entrance. From what he had read in that guard's mind the princess was in a hidden room in the basement, there were other prisoners were kept as well, but Tsuki just wanted to get the princess and get out of there.
After a few minutes Tsuki found the entrance to the basement and entered by quite literally going through the door and guard standing in front of it. The guard shivered.
"What's with you?" the other guard asked.
"Just a chill." he replied. It then occurred to Tsuki that when he came back with the princess the guards would try to stop him, so he stuck his hand through the door and snapping his fingers. The two guards swayed a little, then they fell against each other, fast asleep. With that all done and cared for, Tsuki descended down the stairs.
There was no light, but since Tsuki was the god of the night, he didn't need any light to see. But he would have thought that if prisoners were here there would have been at least a little light. He finally made it to the basement and saw that the place was a little lab. Tsuki walked over to one of the books and saw it was a necromancer's lab.
'Ah, great. I'm dealing with a psycho mage.' he thought as he looked around some more. Now that he was actually looking, he was surprise he didn't realize sooner, what with all the skulls and pentagrams. Then he saw something that made him frown in thought. Lying on the table, simmering even in the darkness, was a black opal medallion with a jackle head and a ruby eye that seemed to be glaring at him as he stared at it.
'A jackle... Amatsu's symbol. Oh, great. I'm dealing with his worshipers.' he thought as he grabbed one of the candles. 'Did he kidnap the princess to try to lure Hoshi here, or to sacrifice her? Or both?' He lit the candle and looked around. Let's see... If he were a crazy mage, where would he put the switch to a hidden room. After a moment of thinking, he walked over to the torch holder and pulled it. There was a slight shake, and wall moved to reveal a secret dungeon.
'How original.' he thought sarcastically as entered. There, chained to the wall was a woman with long snow white hair and dark blue eyes. She looked up as he entered.
"You... Who are you?" she asked him. Tsuki smiled reassuringly at her.
"Me? I'm a guardian angel, here to take you back to the one you love. Okay, actually, I'm Tsuki." he said as sat the candle down and summoned one of his twin blades. When he wasn't killing anyone, he used twin blades to fight.
"Hoshi-sama sent you?" Hikari asked as Tsuki cut the chains. He laughed.
"Something like that..." he said as he helped her up. "C'mon, let's get going, shall we?" Hikari only nodded as she let Tsuki lead her. Maybe he was only a child, but if Hoshi-sama sent him, then there must be more to him. As he led her through the halls, she noticed all the guard were gone.
"Where are the guards?" she asked as she looked around.
"Probably trying to kill that Miwa guy." Tsuki said as navigated through the halls.
"Eh?! Miwa-san's here?"
"Yup, and hopefully he's still alive." Tsuki led her out into the garden.
When they arrived at the garden they saw that all the guards were there and Miwa was currently killing all that tried to attack him.
"Oh, my..." Hanako said as she covered her mouth. She never liked blood. And right now, it was a massacre.
"Oh, my god! This is terrible!" Tsuki exclaimed as he watched.
"Tsuki-san..." Hikari said as she looked down at him.
"I gotta stop this now!" Tsuki yelled as he charged forward. Hikari watched in surprise.
'Tsuki-san... is such a kind boy.' she thought as he ran onto the battle field.
'Paper work! Paper work! Oh, god the paper work I'm gonna have to do after this!' Tsuki thought panicky as he ran. He jumped onto Miwa's shoulders.
"Hey! Wha?! What the hell are you doing, kid?!" Tsuki ignored him though as he began to chant a sleep spell. Within seconds, all the enemies were asleep.
When they were all asleep, Tsuki jumped off Miwa's shoulders. Then he turned to Miwa.
"Baka ring man(1)!! Why'd you kill them?!" he yelled. "Do you any idea how much paper work I'm going to have to do when I get home?!"
"What the– What did you think I was going to do when you ran off?!"
"I knew you were going to kill a few, but then I thought you would out numbered and they'd kill you!"
"So you left me to die?!"
"Yeah, that was pretty much the plan."
"You–!!"
"What are you so mad about? You're still alive and I got the girl so--" Just then Tsuki noticed that Hikari was gone! "What the–?! Where'd she go?!"
"Aaahh!!" The boys both looked up and saw that a man wearing red cloak was flying away with the princess on a black cloud.
"You may have defeated my all minions, but you won't get the princess back!" he hissed as he fled.
"Oi! Wait a minute! Come back! Most of your minions are still alive! I think! Damn!" Tsuki cursed to himself. This all was more trouble than it was worth! He just thought he'd have to fight a dragon or something. He actually thought about just going back home and forgetting this all happened. But then he remembered Hoshi's face and sighed. There was no way... He could abandon his mission when someone was waiting for him.
He grabbed Miwa.
"C'mon, you! Nobody gets the best of me!(liar!)" he yelled as he jumped in the air and summoned a flying cloud. Then they took off after the evil villain.
"Whoa! Hey, how you do this?" Miwa asked, as he watched the ground fade.
"Heh, this is easy for me, I used to travel like this all the time before I got my wings!" Tsuki grinned as they came closer to the villain. "Now, you just try not to fall off, and I'll be back in 3."
"Eh?! Three what? Where are you going?!" Miwa exclaimed. But Tsuki was no longer listening to him. When they five feet from Hikari and the evil villain, Tsuki leaped into the manic grin. "Are you insane?!" Miwa yelled, eyes wide.
"Nope! Just immortal!" he called back as he summoned both his twin blades. He then slashed down between Hikari and the villain, right into the cloud, cutting it in half and making the villian release Hikari.
"Curse you!" the villain hissed and he glared at Tsuki.
"Sorry, someone beat ya to it." Tsuki called over his shoulder as he landed on Hikari's cloud. "Are you okay?" he asked her. She nodded. The mage twitched.
"Don't ignore me!" He yelled as he made the cloud beneath them, disappear. Hikari screamed, but Tsuki simply grabbed as he whistled. The cloud carrying Miwa zipped under them and caught them.
"Princess, are you alright?" Miwa asked Hikari, who nodded. Tsuki smirked at the mage.
"Since your powers still suck, I'm guessing you haven't made an offering to Amatsu yet. Have you... Devil clan?" he asked.
"Devil clan?!" gasped Miwa. Tsuki nodded.
"Yup. Long story short, Amatsu gives his followers great power in exchange for gifts, of course. And what better gift... then the heart of a pure hearted girl?" he explained.
"So he was going to sacrifice, Hikari?!" Miwa gasped, outraged.
"From the look of rage and this guy's face, I'd say yes. Too bad he never counted on me." Tsuki said as he summoned his scythe. "You know, I don't usually like to do this on my free time, but this time... I might make an exception." The mage growled.
"You bastard! Who do you think you are?!" he yelled as he threw fire balls at them. Tsuki leaped into the air and hit them back at him. He was used to fire balls because of his sister, who almost threw them at him. The mage was about to cast another spell, Tsuki had enough. He raised his long black scythe and quickly brought it down upon his throat. There was no blood. Instead the he opened his mouth in a small gasp and suddenly his soul came out his mouth and came into Tsuki's hand.
"Me?" he said with a small smirk as it disappeared into his pouch. "I am death." The body turned to dust and vanished into the night. Tsuki sighed as he landed on his cloud.
'Hate it when that happens.' Then he turned Miwa and Hikari who were staring at him. He smiled.
"Let's get going, shall we?"
OoOoO
"Hoshi!!" Hikari exclaimed in glee. When she saw Hoshi, waiting in the exact same spot where Tsuki had left him.
"Hikari!" Hoshi exclaimed happily as he embraced her tightly and then kissed her passionately. Miwa smiled at the scene, while Tsuki, looked away with his tongue out.
'Gross!' he thought as he looked away(Hey, he's only an eleven year old boy at the moment.). When Hikari and Hoshi finished their kissing section, they turned to Tsuki.
"I don't where to begin to thank you, Tsuki-san!" Hoshi said.
"Well... Just saying thank you's a nice start," Tsuki said as he rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. "Well, I better get goin'. My sis is gonna totally fry me when I get home." Hoshi nodded in understanding.
"I understand. But I do hope you come again. After all, we are friends." he said. Tsuki looked at him, eyes full of shock. Then he turned away.
"...Thanks, but in case you didn't notice, I'm not mortal," he said sadly. "And because of that, our life spans are completely different. While you die, I'll still be alive. I'm... not like you."
"Are you sad that you might be alone when we die?" Hikari asked as she bent down to his level and touched his shoulder. Tsuki nodded as he looked away.
"Something like that." he muttered. Hikari hugged him, surprising Tsuki.
"Such a kind boy," she said with a soft smile. "And so very... foolish."
"Huh?" Hoshi bent down to his level as well.
"Mortal, or immortal, nothing last for ever. Eventually we all die. That's why all living things need to do what they can to make their lives something they'll enjoy." he explained.
"And we think that being your friends will make our lives fun! And in return, we want to give you memories that will always make you smile, even after we're gone." Hikari added.
"But... If I get to like you, I'll be sad when you have to die just like my friends." Tsuki said. Hoshi turned Tsuki to him.
"It's always sad when you have to say goodbye to someone. But tell me... Even though you're sad, do you wish you've never met them?" he asked. Tsuki thought for a moment, then shook his head. No. He didn't regret meeting them. Because back then, when they asked him to play with them, he was happy. Hoshi gave a sincere smile as he continued.
"You know after goodbye comes hello. So... Hello, Tsuki-san." Tsuki stared for a moment, then sighed.
"Hi... Hoshi." he grinned. Then he turned to Miwa.
"So, Wa-kun. You wanna be friends too?" he asked.
"As if! I'll be happy if I never see you again!"
"Oh? In that case I'll come visit again, tomorrow!"
"You!"
Hoshi and Hikari laughed.
That night as I went home, I noticed that a bunch of little light had appeared in the sky. And I smiled at them. Because now I was sure that even though I would have to say goodbye millions of times... As long as I remembered to say hello, I would never be alone again.
Yeah, I know. It was cliche and made no sense, but oh well!
And sorry, UpperClassK9, it was late when I was writing the last chapter.
To iwandamonian, yeah. Sadly, he is.
To JacinthX Thanks! It just came to me!
