Chapter 21

Our World Upside down

Lilium turned and looked out over the city from the top of the school. She raised her arms and took in a deep breath.

"Ah, the sweet smell of power. If only these horrible little rats would leave it would be perfect." Lilium said. Linzang approached from behind her.

"What should I do next, My Lady?" Lisnoir said. Lilium turned.

"Revert out of that stupid Guardian Disguise. I don't want you to be thought of as my equal." Lilium said. Linzang simply nodded. His forming suddenly dissipated and he reappeared as a purple being of smoke.

"My lord, your request was granted." Lisnoir said.

"Good, I'll stop calling you by that fake name now, it's horrid. Your name will restore back to its original one." Lilium said turning away from the view to face Lisnoir.

"Yes my lady, I will no longer respond to Lisnoir. My original name and persona will return as you request." Lisnoir said. The smoke swirled and a new figure walked out.

"THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I hated that grab name LISNOIR! It was so foul and nasty!" the new figure said.

"Quiet, Angel." Lilium said. Angel twitched around in place.

"But I DON'T wanna be quiet; it was so boring acting as stinky Lisnoir! I'm happy to be the pretty lady I was meant to be again!" Angel said, her bright blue hair flying around as she twitched. She fixed her outfit; a blue cape, thigh-high purple high-heel boots, a purple vest and red undershirt, along with her black sunglasses.

"Stop referring to yourself as a woman! You're male." Lilium commanded. Angel shrunk down and twiddled his fingers.

'I'm gorgeous either way! But I was meant to be a woman don't you see!" Angel said. He adjusted his glasses. "I really think you should treat you genie nicer then that!"

"You are no longer my genie, once I freed you from you lamp, you became an ayakashi, bound to me forever." Lilium said, she turned around to face the view again. Angel twitched and suddenly noticed something on the ground.

"My lord, they just defeated the revived Demon! Those pesky traitors are more annoying that we thought" Angel said.

Lilium turned and glared. "Must you yell everything?" Angel shrugged and Lilium sighed.

"Ohh! That chainsaw wielded by a gorgeous man! It makes me excited just thinking about it! My lord, may I go confront them!" Angel asked. Lilium nodded.

"Before you ask, you're free to keep their weapons when you defeat them, as you always do." Lilium said. Angel jumped in the air and clapped happily before running off after the man with the chainsaw.

"Oh gorgeous! What are you running away for when you could be with me!" Angel shouted. I looked over at the peculiar man. I had been listening to the conversation from a distance with my cat ears and it all bewilders me. Such an eccentric over the top person pulling of the ruse of Lisnoir….

"Yoshimori, are you awake?" I asked, nudging Yoshimori. Yoshimori pulled himself onto his feet and nodded. I helped him stand and Amara came to help me.

'We need to get you guys out of here, it's too dangerous for you to remain…."Amara said.

"Everyone hop on Raizo! We'll get you out of here quick!" Atora shouted. I helped Yoshimori onto the friendly ayakashi and hopped up myself, once all of us but the ayakashi were aboard, Raizo made a mad dash for the Sumimura Household.

"Where are you going!Oh, I love a man that plays hard to get! Come back Darling, we can make sweet art together!" Angel shouted as he chased after us at an incredible speed.

"Such a weird person, to run that fast in high heels…" Amara remarked, "And he's male nevertheless." I shrugged and jumped at the loud clanking sound I heard. I turned and saw Angel parrying Derra's claymore behind us.

"Raizo suddenly stopped and we ran towards the entrance to the house but we ran into something.

"Ah, why would you want to leave? I just got here! The party has just begun!" Angel shouted with a big smile. He kicked Derra away and Hiba caught her before returning to an injured Gen's side.

"Who are you anyway?" Yoshimori struggled to ask.

"You don't know me! How rude not to introduce yourself first!" Angel said. He posed with a hand on his collarbone and another on his hip, bending forward.

"Angel Oraina at your service! Use me however you want. 3" Angel said, licking his lips. He stepped out of his pose and smiled proudly.

"None of you saw through my disguise! I'm just so epic! 3" Angel said. She looked at Linzang and Leo.

"Especially you two and big old ice queen behind me! Another alias I go by is the downer known as Lisnoir! Ta-da, the big reveal! 3 " Angel said.

Linzang and Leo shrugged off the man's overly flamboyant behavior and rushed towards him to attack, but Emerix blocked their path.

'What is it, we have to eliminate him if he was Lisnoir the whole time." Leo said. Emerix shook his head.

"You two help guard the injured, Amara, Derra, Christeenala, and I will handle the witch.' Emerix said.

'Aww, Witch, you're so cruel! Can't you wait until the bedroom to be cruel?' Angel said, bluntly. Emerix glared at him and Angel smiled. Emerix rushed towards Angel with his chainsaw roaring. Out of nowhere, Angel pulled out an identical chainsaw and parried Emerix.

"Don't you love my beautiful creation! " Angel asked, before kicking Emerix away and into the invisible barrier around us.

"Ooo, oo, o! I have an idea! Let's make this more fun!" Angel said, and suddenly the barrier around us became a bright blue. Angel's arm stretched out and pinned Emerix against the wall, and he wailed in pain. Atora looked at it and pulled some grass out of the ground and threw it at the wall. The grass was immediately roasted.

"The wall is electrically charged, don't touch it!" Atora shouted out in warning. Yoshimori and I immediately stood up straight and stepped away from the wall.

"I have to help…. I have to!" Yoshimori said. "I can't just let all of our friends do all the fighting while I stand back and watch…."

"You're to hurt to help Yoshim-" suddenly a hand wrapped around my mouth. I blinked in surprise and found myself suddenly held in the air next to Angel.

'If chainsaw boy here won't play, maybe this cute little kitty would, don't you think hmm? It's so adorable, I could just eat him up! Of course, I know people who've tried." Angel said. Suddenly he was cut off and I found myself on the ground.

"Hunny! Are you OK!" I pulled myself up and my mother helped me stand, I saw the wall torn apart and Angel standing up from the ground.

"Horrible woman! You ruined everything!" Angel said, it almost looking like he was having a temper tantrum. Angel suddenly stopped….

"What lovely tails you have, you ever used them for other things hmmm? I normally don't go for women though, but if you have the stuff…" Angel said smiling. Princess glared at him and her tails suddenly flew towards Angel.

Angel remained smiling and the tails bounced off a shield the man had around him.

"Ahh, such sweet power! It fills me up, makes my cockles so warm, it does." Angel said, rubbing his chest.

I stared…. Cockles?

Angel smiled and winked and a huge whirlwind swirled around him. Princess started flying towards Angel and I grabbed her hand in time for a kekkai around us to save us. I looked over and saw Yoshimori struggling to keep the kekkai up around us, protecting us from the vile winds.

"Oooo! You're no fun!" Angel said, smiling. Angel jumped in the air and landed roughly on top of the kekkai. The kekkai shook and I heard Yoshimori groan. Angel started jumping up and down on top of the kekkai.

"This is so much more fun than breaking the kekkai, why have we never done this before?" Angel asked. I grabbed my mom's hand and jumped away as the kekkai collapsed underneath Angel and Angel crashed into the ground leaving a crater.

"Aww, I almost broke a heel." Angel whined. I looked back and rushed over to Yoshimori's side.

"I wonder who this person is…." I mumbled as I watched Angel easily fight off our protectors without taking the battle seriously. The person turned and saw Yoshimori and vanished to reappear beside him.

"And who's this cutie? It'd be a shame to kill such a pretty face." Angel said, putting his arms over Yoshimori's shoulders. I hissed and Yoshimori pushed Angel away with a kekkai. Angel flew towards a wall and landed gracefully on the wall, defying gravity.

"Get off me!" Yoshimori shouted, limping over to me. He helped me stand and I picked up my unconscious mother. She was too sick to have done much more then buy some time, especially against a creature like this.

"Oh, poo. But don't say things like that, soon you'll be addicted to my 'weapon'." Angel said, liking his lips. He jumped up and pulled out a large spear and swung it at Yoshimori. Christeenala jumped in front of us a parried the weapon with her own spear.

"Ohh. Now here's a challenge, what should I do. I do bore easily of women." Angel said, kicking Christeenala away. His arm stretched out and grabbed Christeenala's hair as she flew away. He pulled her and slammed her into a wall the opposite direction she flew. He smiled.

"Aww, I broke her. Maybe I need a neeeew toy 3?" Angel said. I grabbed Yoshimori and tossed him out of the way, predicting what was going to happen. Angel rushed forward and I let out a loud cough of blood. I looked down with blurred eyes, only seeing Angel's arm piercing my skin.

I coughed up more blood and stumbled on my feet. I collapsed back, watching Angel shake the blood off his arm with my blurred vision.

"Eww, red. I. hate. That. Color. Blue is so much better. I would prefer purple though…." Angel spoke, but he trailed off. I saw Yoshimori look at me, holding me in his arms. I smiled at him and wagged my tail for him. I felt one of his tears fall onto me as his hand grasped mine.

"Don't die! Don't leave Sen!" I heard Yoshimori shut. Everything was becoming black. The sounds were fading, I can barely hear Yoshimori now…. Why is he whispering?

Can't he speak up? Why did the pain suddenly go away?

Is that good or bad?

I smiled at Yoshimori, finally realizing what had happened, and what was going to happen. I reached my hand up, using the last of my energy and I cupped his cheek in my bloodied palm.

"I…. I…" I gasped for air…

I won't die without saying this!

"I love you…. Yoshi…."
