Hi everyone and here's an update for Tsubasa No Yume. And in this chapter we'll continue where we left off. From this chapter on instead of pair by pair, the strings had been pulled and we will get the story flow in a one way. Soon everyone will meet! But for now stay tune, as apocalypse unfold! So I've been meaning to ask, what was your thought about the end of the dead, how will it look—maybe like the movie The Day After Tomorrow, or zombie infested Walking Dead kinda scenario, I'm just curious. My family is very religious while me—ahaha*chuckles awkwardly* I was raised in a very diverse environment so—anyways yeah, what do you have in mind when someone talks about the end of times?
BTW sorry for the confusion last chapter, no you did not miss a chapter guys, I really didn't wrote the part where Kuroko went to see Midorima in the hospital—I skipped that part, I had placed the details of their meeting in Kagami's flashbacks of the event as you can see I placed what they talked about when the two visited, on my first draft of chapter10 I actually included that part but I realized it was too short. I revised the chapter and somehow I didn't realize I cut that part and I didn't know where I pasted it, I can't rewrite it again so I decided to skip that part. I'm very sorry for the confusion I caused *bows head* Anyhow thank you reviewers last chapter! I was able to finish Chapter 11 quickly, I was even surprised myself. Kicchin had been buried in my piles of animes to watch plus so many stuffs to do, I didn't knew being a Co-Admin in a fansclub would be this tiresome! But oh well, I don't have the heart to just leave the whole group to our Admin because I know she's doing her best, but no worries I will update Tsubasa as frequent as I can, I mean I seriously understand the feeling of waaaaaaaaaiting and waaaaaaaiting for an update of your awaited fanfic and be so disappointed every week knowing there isn't any *cries* I mean I have been waiting for so many fanfics to update and WHY OH WHY WONT THEY UPDAAAAATE *ahem* I'm sorry I was a bit carried away. But no seriously speaking I have been waiting for this Akafuri story since ages and still no update in the story, the author used to update regularly until recently IDK but its been so long. And this story, oh god I wish the author updates(btw I recommend you read it too if you haven't) its called From Future With Love
Oh and yes thank you for our reviewers! Hey guys uhm yeah please review, Kicchin really loved to read your reviews so it keeps me up with what you think about our chapters, and don't be afraid to ask Kicchin anything regarding the chapters, are you confused at some parts, has a guess on what's gonna happen next, angry about Kicchin's delay? FIRE AAAAAAWAY~! Ahaha no seriously I feel really happy receiving reviews because I get insights on what, how, and which to improve. So with that ssaid, THANK YOUKUMIKO-WALKER ahahaha sure Kise's gonna be soooooooooooooooo happy LOL IDK but I kinda hate Haizaki's everything when he;s with Kise I think of him as one whole crap of jealous as because Kise has much pleasant love life than he does with Kise's ex-not-girlfriend Lol *laughs evilly* anyway yeah hohoho let's see what's in stall for them, and as for God ahaha I guess he has a share of their suffering as a father. Ahaha must be difficult don't you think? Oh and about Michael being the youngest I actually intended that LOL I mean look at Kuroko doesn't his cute face makes you want to take care of him? Kidding, I just kinda see Kuroko as the baby bro of GoM. In the series where I got my idea, Supernatural, Michael is Dean who is the elder of the two—but yeah I twisted it for plot's sake. For Another-Jane-Doe I'm very very very very sorry for confusing you, but yes you didn't miss a chapter whatnot, I intended to skip that. It was after Kuroko met Furihata that they went to Midorima's it was in between the Lucifer and Gadreel's meeting IDK if I'm making sense or I'm confusing you even more ahahaha ( ^ . ^; )Its like the part where Kagami and Kuroko returns home is basically the continuation of where we left of in Chapter 8. *bows head*again sorry for the confusion, but starting from this chapter we'll go with one flow so it wont cause any further confusion on the way the story weaves. And thank you very, I hope you like the update! To Bubbles9595 Ahahaaha I totally AGREE! Ahaha if one does not hate Haizaki, well they're totally wrong ahahaha! Anyways, thank you for reviewing and I hope you like the update!
And with that we shall continueeee, can you feel the doki doki intensity? I SEE BLOODSHED! OMG READ TO FIND OUUUUT! Oh and don't forget to review! Kicchin misses you guys!
Chapter 11: Brotherhood
"Pes…tilence."
Kise's body trembled at the sight, how could he ever forget, that smug grin. How could he ever forget, his left wings throbbed as the memory flashed to him, he backed away pulling Aomine in the process, his eyes never leaving his face. He was young then, Akashi was still free out from the abyss, the earth was knew then. He was a naïve angel then, he was unable to differentiate the horsemen among the angels, nor what was he or his difference between the cherubs and the seraphs. It was then when he thought the horsemen were just like them. He respected Death, honoured him as his Father did, and there was Pestilence—Haizaki Shougo. Kise was amazed with the story the cherubs told to him, how the other was powerful, just like Death. But no one ever told him what exactly Pestilence could do. Akashi as well as Death had always told him to keep a distance from him, but he was a naïve and he didn't listen. Pestilence seems to have a thing to make him feel inferior, and once he challenged him in mock battle. That was when he did it.
Kise could still remember his fear when he thought he could never fly again, he remember the pain in his left wing when Haizaki purposely placed a rotting spell in his left wing. It was disgusting, a black rot ate a portion of his wing in a second, his beautiful gold colored feathers shed and was replaced with boils. If it wasn't Akashi's powers he might have never been able to fly again. He remembers the loathsome laughter as Haizaki saw him fall to his knees as he panic over his wings.
How could Kise ever forget?
"Aomineccchi stay back!" Kise said as he tried to stand in front of Aomine but the human with a scowl pulled Kise aside.
"What the fuck is this?" Aomine didn't like the look that guy had in his face the way he looked as Kise pissed him off. He looked like he owns Kise or something. And what's with that confident look, did he even gave him the permission to enter his house? And what's with Kise acting like some scared cat? "Whose this guy?"
"A-Aominecchi, stay back!" Kise tried to pull the blue haired male but he wouldn't budge.
"Eh, Ryouta-kun hasn't forgotten about me," Haizaki chuckled, the mention of his first name sent shivers to Kise's spine the awful memories flooded him making him freeze in his spot, "won't you at least introduce me to your friend."
"What are you doing here?" Kise asked with shaky voice as he try to meet Haizaki's gray eyes.
"Ooh, look at that, where did you get all the guts huh, Earth was such a nice experience, don't you think?"
"I was asking you!"
"And since when did I owe you?"
Since you almost left me unable to use my wings!
"Shougo-kun!" Kise gritted his teeth, Haizaki isn't a good company, he was no better than War. He didn't understand why was he here, or why did he had to come at Aomine's house of all other opportunities. He could have seen him out in the streets, or somewhere else, yet he purposely showed up here at Aomine's place.
Kise's eyes widen as he found Haizaki inching closer to him and in a flash he found the horsemen lifting his face by his chin making him look at his cold gray eyes.
"Ah, just as I thought…I hate your face."
"How are you feeling Ryouta?"
"I…feel better…" Kise answered with a faint smile, he tried to spread his wings but the other side hurts. Akashi sighed and shook his head as he sat next to his brother, "I…never thought Shougo-kun would do something like that."
"Of course you don't." came Midorima's comment as he huffed, "You trust everyone too much."
"But I—"
"We understand that you seem to see Pestilence as someone…someone older, much experienced but he is different Ryouta." Akashi said looking at KIse's amber eyes, "He…despise you most of all—your beauty that is."
"I do not understand I—"
"Pestilence embodies disease and plague." Midorima said cutting in, "Unlike Death, I could say War is more like Pestilence, acting on impulse and pure need to express their nature. War sees the need for bloodshed while Pestilence…to defile. And Kise if you aren't aware , I shall tell you that you are too much contradicting what he wants to see, that was why we warned you before."
"In layman's term, he hates you for being everything but beautiful."
Kise's eyes widen as he blur of dark brown and blue came across him and Haizaki before he found the other on the floor. Did…Aomine Daiki, a human, an average high school student…just punched one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Kise quickly went on panic mode as he pushed Aomine away but the taller male's eyes were filled with fury, his knuckles were turning lighter as he gripped tightly. Aomine didn't like it, the way he touched Kise—everything was too much about that strange guy, first was coming in without a word or two, second was acting like he owns Kise, third was making Kise look like that, fourth was touching Kise. How dare he say he hate Kise's face, how dare he simply say that to something he had admired the very moment he saw it? He felt an unexplainable rage coursing to his body. He didn't care who the hell that guy was, if he was an angel too or is he God, no one ever talks to Kise like that in front of him.
A chuckle came from Haizaki as he stood up and turned to look at Aomine's rage filled eyes, he could not believe a human could possess such fearsome strength, that felt like a table was slammed against his face—good thing he was an immortal but damn, that hurts. Well he liked it, the flame of anger in those midnight blue eyes, did he got angry because he touched Kise? Haizaki turned his eyes at Kise who was trying his best to tell the human to step aside or ran away—since when did Kise ever care this much for the bunch of hairless ape who took apart his family? They were an interesting bunch indeed, ah, but its disgusting how those amber eyes looks.
He hates it, Kise was everything that he wasn't. He was okay-alright with the angels, Lucifer talked to him and so were the others God didn't mind at all, he let him join his children, but Kise was always there to steal it away. Lucifer fancied his amber eyes, even as he spoke to him he would mention his brother who had the same ability as him—he could quickly remember things, he said. But they liked him more because he wasn't destructive, the way he records information is constructive while he had to literally steal it to be able to record it. Like in a certain memory if he wish to gather it, he would take it from the person. But Kise…Kise could just replicate his own version of that without destroying, without taking. It was always him. It had always been Kise and yet—
"Shougo-kun you're amazing!"
It was disgusting, his smile, his cheers—he hated everything about him, that was why…that was why he hate to see him like this. He always get what he wants. Haizaki stood up head lowered as he chuckled, ah, yes, this time he's sure he would be able to heal himself, or if he was correct he had put a protection over his wings—Akashi is a clever one, he must have know one day he'll try to do it again, a protection must have been put on Kise. Ah, but Kise's still stupid, he…has a huge fault standing broadly before him. He wonders what kind of face will Kise make when he pokes it.
Snap!
Kise turned towards Haizaki as he heard that familiar snap of the fingers, looking at the horseman he saw him with a hand rose just shoulder level and a disgusting grin in his lips. Without a warning he heard Aomine gasped for air and the taller male fell to the floor, in Kise's eyes everything went slow motioned as Aomine fell with a thud. Aomine started coughing, Kise didn't know if he was choking or suffocated. Aomine grabbed the front of his shirt as it suddenly felt like its difficult to breathe, like something was blocking his lungs, his chest felt burning, and his throat felt dry.
"What did you do?!" Kise exclaimed to Haizaki as he knelt to Aomine's side.
"I gave him a quick experience of stage 4 lung cancer." Haizaki said with a smug grin as he crossed his arms over his chest, "I think he likes it."
"Stop it!" Kise pleaded, Aomine's lips were turning blue.
"Oh you don't like it?"
"Stop this, he's not involve with your child's play!"
Haizaki frowned as he heard Kise called it as a child's play, he raised his hand again and snapped his fingers. Kise turned again to Aomine only to find the other heaving even more. Something isn't right, he didn't look like he is better, he looks worst. "What did you do now?!" Kise exclaimed.
"You wanted to end his suffering right, so I took out his lungs."
"What!"
Haizaki laughed maniacally as he found Kise's expression very indulgent, he looked scared, confused, angry—he was a mess. He could not get enough of how Kise looked at that human, angels are hypocrites they say they hate humans for taking apart their family and yet—Gabriel, the archangel knelt there tears threatening to fall from his eyes for a life of a single human. Kise turned to Haizaki making the horseman stare at him in disbelief—he had never seen this expression in Kise's eyes before—his amber eyes looks like they were glowing like a small version of the sun, blazing, angrily at him. "Reverse your spell." Kise's voice was full of venom, and it wasn't a wish, or a plea—it was surely a command. "Now!"
Haizaki wasn't planning to, not in a million years until he felt a hand gripped his shoulder blades from behind, turning around he came face to face with a fist—it was stronger and well…fatal for him. He felt his vision blurred for a moment when a tug in his color held him in place.
"You heard him, reverse the spell." Nijimura said with a sigh, "It's a pain in the ass, you kids are troublesome."
"D-Death…" Kise stuttered as he saw Death for the first time again.
"Do not worry, he's not in the list of souls that should be scheduled for reaping." Nijimura said pertaining to Aomine. Kise frowned, no, that's a lie. Death could always make an exception. He could always take one even if its originally not their day to be reaped. The thought sent fear to Kise.
"I don't want to—ack!"
Nijimura gave the younger horseman a punch in the gut this time, "You do realize we do not have time for this do you?" he asked Pestilence with a frown, shaking his head he turn to Kise, "We have lots to do, we need to go."
"H-Hey but A-Aominecchi's still—"
"If you don't want him to die, remember how Lucifer healed you." Nijimura said then quickly vanished.
Kise was lost for words, he was running out of time. Its been so long since that incident happen, he wasn't sure if that could save Aomine either after all he the spell that was used by Akashi to him was a spell for an angel, right? Could it work on humans too? How long can a human last without a lungs, he wasn't sure, but he doesn't hurry Aomine will surely follow Death. He can't have that.
He…cant die on me!
Kise closed his eyes shuffling through the stored memories, ging through furthest to the back he remembered the details, the words which Akashi recited, the way he focused his energy. Opening his eyes, Kise counted on his memory as he recited the words out loud. He found his glowing yellow aura embracing Aomine and then in his head he heard the sound of something breaking, and Aomine finally gasped the air and his breathing slowly went normal. Aomine's eyes quickly searched for Kise and when their eyes met Kise practically threw himself at Aomine.
"Stupid Aominecchi!" Kise cursed Aomine's reckless nature, what was he thinking then? Did he realize that if Kise wasn't able to remember the reverse spell he could have died? Had he ever thought that Haizaki could have killed him on the spot?
"What did that punk do to you?" Aomine's voice was hoarse yet he managed to speak, he wanted to assure himself that Kise was alright. "Hey, tell me if—"
"I'm the one who should be asking that! I'm alright Aominecchi you're such a fool!" Kise exclaimed gripping the front of Aomine's shirt, he could not help as the tears of all the pressure and fear, and the waves of emotion filled him to the very end. He punched Aomine's chest lightly making the other cough.
"Fuck, your lady hands hurt."
"Shut up!" Kise sobbed, "You stupid human! D-Do you realize how frightened I was?"
"Hm, you were?"
"Of course I was!" Kise rose and wiped the tears off his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Nah, I believe you'll save me anyway."
Kise was frozen as he heard Aomine said those words. Did Aomine just placed his whole life in Kise's hand? That was still stupid but Kise could not help but take the whole I believe in you at heart. "Stupid…Aominecchi." Kise said as he clutched the front of Aomine's shirt. How could he easily put all his trust on him? Aomine smiled before putting a hand on top of Kise's head. It wasn't truly a lie that he knew Kise would save him if it comes down to it. But he couldn't resist it, he hated the way Haizaki looked at Kise, how his words affected the blonde so much, it made him angry and his body just moved on his own with the desire to wipe that stupid smirk off his face. "Please don't do anything like that again."
"I can't promise anything." Aomine said truthfully, he knows himself enough that he surely would do that again if he sees that punk again playing shit to Kise. "If I saw him again, if he try that stunt again to you I'd do that again."
"No." Kise whined as he slightly pulled away from Aomine only to find those midnight blue eyes looking right at him. It felt like his eyes were holding him down, staring right at his soul. He could not pull his eyes away. Without a thought Kise found himself caressing Aomine's cheek, his prominent cheek bone, his definite features, and midnight blue eyes. He found himself lost in the blue of the space, like the whole universe was right before him, he felt his breath was sucked out of his lungs from the vast pools of eternity. He had always thought he was handsome, but he was even more attractive up close. Kise could not help as he felt his cheek burn as he realized the close proximity, he could almost feel the hot breath brushing against the tip of his nose, Kise realized his hand over Aomine's cheek. Embarrassed Kise pulled his hand away but before he could Aomine's grabbed his wrist.
"Don't look at me that way." Aomine whispered in a low voice making the other blush even darker. Aomine leaned closer at the tempting small rose lips when—
KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Aomine sighed and ruffled his hair in annoyance before reaching on the pocket of his jeans fishing him a phone. Reading the name in the caller ID, Aomine groaned in annoyance as he answered, "Satsuki?" he looked ast Kise whose blushing face dhad finally calmed down, he avertated his eyes to the single window in the room, for some reason the blonde stood and walked to the window and pushed the curtains revealing the night sky outside.
"Dai-chan!"
"Yeah what?" Aomine looked as he found Kise's figure tensed as he stood before the window. Aomine walked over where Kise stood and his eyes widen in utter shock at the scene he found before him. The night sky before them looked strange. The sky was…bleeding, the sky looks like it was bleeding, the thick crimson clouds looked like it was devouring the night sky.
"I found the guy you were asking me for!" Momoi's voice sounded excited, "There is a new assistant librarian in Kitamori Library whose name is Akashi Seijuuro. And a boy named Kuroko Tetsuya registered as a visitor for an in-patient named Midorima Shintaro in Shuutoku General Hospital yesterday, I found a surveillance footage too, a boy matching Kise-kun's description of Kuroko Tetsuya was caught entering and leaving the hospital, and you know what's more surprising, Kagamin is with him!"
Aomine raised a brow, "Kagamin?"
"Kagami Taiga of Seirin!"
Aomine's eyes widen as he tapped Kise's shoulder, "Satsuki found where Kuroko Tetsuya is." He said to the blonde making the blonde shock before returning to his conversation with Momoi, "Where is he now?"
"He's living with Kagamin it seems." Momoi answered, "That's all, do you need anything else?"
"No, we're…okay, thanks." Aomine said before hanging up. Aomine shuffled through his contact searching for Kagami's home address, he was sure he took it down when Kagami once asked him to come over to play one-on-one in a basketball court near his place. As soon as he saw it he handed his phone to Kise only to find the blonde frozen in his feet, body slightly trembling. "Hey,uhm Satsuki said he found Kuroko Tetsuya, seems like the guy's been lodging with Kagami, I got his address, he was a player from another team, so I know. She said she caught the information when the guy registered as a visitor in Shuutoku General Hospital, he was visiting a guy named…uhm, what was that again, M-Mido…Mido-something Shintaro—"
"M-Midorimacchi…" Kise said voice trembling. Aomine didn't know what to say, that's the name Kise was saying the other day, right?
"Uh, yeah, uhm so an Akashi Seijuuro is registered in a Kitamori Library, thinking about its not far from here."
Kise's eyes widen, "Not far? H-How far is it from where Kurokocchi is?"
Aomine scratched his head, Kurokocchi means, Kuroko Tetsuya, so he means how far is Kagami's house from Kitamori, right? "Uh…just five streets away?"
Kise's expression changed drastically, horrified was an understatement Kise could not believe it—Akashi and Kuroko were this close to each other. Patching the details one by Kise trembled in the thought, Pestilence is here, Akashi and Kuroko are close—the horsemen…and those two. Is there even enough time to stop them from seeing each other? Kise almost shrieked as he heard the loudest roar of thunder, the lights flickered. Turning to the window he found the unexplainable sight before them disturbing. What should he do? What's gonna happen now? This explains why Death was fetching Pestilence with him.
"Oi Kise!" Kise turned to Aomine who looked worried. "I thought you said you are going to get your borthers? What's wrong with you."
What was wrong with him indeed, this was his duty just as what Midorima said. He was supposed to stop apocalypse, right? Then after that he'll go back to heaven and resume all his angelic duty. Forget he had ever been in here. The thought of leaving made him hesitate, it made him unsure—did he…really want to leave Aomine? But…his brothers—
"Kise what—"
"You…don't understand." Kise's voice trembled as he slid down and fell to his knees. If only he could just fast-forward, it might have hurt less that way. When he would just skip to where everything becomes better for all. "I…just want this to end." Kise said in a hushed voice. Aomine wwas able to catch up with those words. Without thinking he grabbed Kise by the collar and pulled him to face him.
"What did you say?" Aomine said eyebrows furrowed to the blonde, "You…will just let them do as they please? You'll let them—"
"You don't understand!" Kise exclaimed pushing Aomine away, "You have no idea how hard it is for me, I…loved my brothers, so much. For years, they were the only ones I've got, and do you know how hard it is to know this is gonna happen, that one day the ones we thought the only ones we could trust would be the one slashing your throat?! Do you know how hard it is too see them kill each other! I just want this to end—"
SLAP!
Kise's eyes widen as Aomine's slap burnt against his cheek.
"You…you said you love them right, were you lying?"
"No!"
"Then what kind of stupid shit are sputtering, you…you are supposed to stand for the ones you love, even how fucking painful that is. If you think family is supposed to make you nice and happy, well boo-hoo, sorry princess that's not how it works!" Aomine snap back. He didn't had sisters, or brothers, he was an only child, but Momoi…he has Momoi. He had become a jerk, he was an asshole, when he thought no one could beat him, when he thought so highly of himself, when he lost himself, Momoi never gave up on him. She continued to watch his back, even if he shouted or shoo her away, she believed that he could change, and she did all that she could to lead him to find the man who would make him realize why exactly did he love basketball. It may be a different issue, basketball and apocalypse are just different but he could not let Kise give up on his brothers—because just like him, he was sure all it needs was someone to stand up for them. If Kise gives up now, they'll just lose hope even more. Family is a pain in the ass, they always count themselves in, they put their asses in danger for you, they're a headache when they fight, and it wasn't easy managing one, Momoi was always insistent, she always followed him around even if he didn't ask for it, but if it wasn't for her he might have been some high-school dropout gangster or something. "Listen, you gotta stand up for them, didn't you say so yourself, they're family."
"E-Even if I…even if I did manage to stop them, I still end up with not seeing you again." Aomine's eyes widen as Kise spoke, "Either way, I won't be able to see you again…that's why…I…I'm scared to leave. What if I fail? What if…this is the last time I get to—" Kise was cut off when Aomine pressed his lips against Kise's lips in a chaste kiss. Pulling away Aomine grinned.
"Nah, you still haven't beaten me yet, you can't disappear until then."
Kise found himself awed at the moment, Aomine's lips felt…soft? He looked at the tanned basketball player as warmth spread to his cheek—a kiss? Humans…kiss when they…when they are affectionate towards the other, right?
"So, you're coming back 'cause I'm gonna beat you ass again." Aomine said before reaching to ruffle Kise's hair.
Stupid Aominecchi
…
…
"Aww look he's so tiny!"
"Don't be loud, you are waking him up."
"Kise-chin is right, he's tiny."
"Don't touch him you might crush him!"
"Shintaro you're being quite loud yourself."
A familiar voice chuckled, "Now, let's not disturb him, shall we?"
"Father, why is he so tiny?" Kise asked at the sleeping fledgling. Akashi turned to his father whose expression changed and he suddenly look sad. Putting his big hands over the little head, he brushed the tiny angel's head kindly. "When will his wings grow?"
"He can't."
"Why is that?" Murasakibara asked curiously.
"He can't be with it yet, its not time—as much as I want to, I wish there would be a time when it doesn't need to happen." Their father said, "Whatever happens Michael has to be safe."
Akashi only learned of the real reason behind those words when the prophecy was delivered by Fate to them. He remember the horror in his father's eyes right then.
The angel with wings that burnt against the wind shall fall
And he shall rise against his father
And slay his brothers
He shall lead the parade of the fallen ones
And they shall lay waste on earth
The angel whose powers lie sleeping shall awaken
Once they meet again they will battle until light shall win
And earth will rise anew, from nothingness.
He was the angel whose wings looked like they were on fire and the angel whose powers lie sleeping was Michael, their little brother whose wings was never there to begin with. That day their father confessed to them the truth, when Michael was born he was too powerful, their father was frightened what harm it could bring to the angel and his brothers so he separated Michael and a part of him, his wings and the angel's innate gift—his sword, and sealed him somewhere. But as the prophecy stated he will awaken with this, and that moment he will battle with Lucifer on earth, destroy it till one of them wins. The true key was Michael, his awakening will trigger the ultimate destruction—the judgement day.
The righteous one shall destroy the seals,
And the horsemen will ride the end with a sword, plague, hunger and Death.
The righteous one, the lamb shall begin the very end.
It was then when God decided a preventive measure, the sealed powers of the angel was given a form, and he placed it deep within a wandering soul in heaven in the Path of Light, and the soul was reincarnated over and over the years without a clue about the truth of its origin. "Whatever happens no one should interfere with human lives" that was one of the most important rule in heaven for angels, unless God himself willed they were to stay away from human lives. Partly because none of them know who among those were where Michael's Sword's soul lies and if harm comes to him, surely Michael will feel it, and would be a trigger to his awakening.
The sword is very essential to the apocalypse, it was literally the key to it. But there was a flaw in this idea, Akashi knew it, the sword is constantly attracted to Michael's soul as it was the other way around. It just have to take both of them to be at the same place at the same time for everything to spin. One wrong step and Michael will surely find his sword and wings. Perhaps his father knew of this as well—that was why he placed it inside a human soul.
"Michael wouldn't hurt a human."
"What do you mean?"
"If he awakens, he shall need to absorb his soul which contains his sword and wings." Their father said to Akashi, "Taking the sword and wings, will cause that human's death—his body without a soul."
"Father isn't that quite—"
"Drastic, yes. But there is no other way." He said sadly.
"There is another, right? A way to stop apocalypse if ever it has started."
"Yes."
"To kill the vessel of the sword and wings before Michael obtains them.
"Exactly."
…
Forgive me brother…for the sake of humanity…
Blood pooled beneath the taller male's body, Akashi stared at the pools of crimson eyes before him. He had seen this soul before—but it was a very long time ago, for sure this soul would barely recognize him now that he has a vessel. The crimson eyes looked at him in shock, but aside from that there was no malice in them—just as he thought, he was as pure as Michael, he couldn't bring himself to hate him even if he just killed him. Pulling the knife off from the deep cut in the man's stomach Akashi watched as the man fell backwards clutching his bleeding wound. He wonder if he could even show his face to Furihata after this, he killed a man for his sake—he wouldn't like that for sure. The knife felt heavy in his hands as guilt weigh upon him. He felt like he killed his brother as well in the process. The tiled floor was stained in blood reaching almost on his feet.
"Kagami-kun who was—"
I'm sorry Tetsuya.
Scarlet met blue and Kuroko froze, he wonder if he could still remember his face after so long, if the situation wasn't what it is, he would be glad to see Kuroko, he would love to see his small face, he always adored his younger brother after all. But those pools of blue eyes weren't filled with longing for him but terror as the angel found Kagami lying in the pool of his own blood. He didn't see Akashi, all he saw was Kagami Taiga in the brink of death. Kuroko stood there frozen his body shaking as an unexplainable scorching pulse coursed through his body. The red of Kagami's blood and his unmoving body made something snap in his insides, and before he knew it he was engulfed in an unfamiliar light, all noise was shut except for a deafening loud static sound filling all the space around him. He had never felt something like this before, an immense burning, uncontrolled rage.
BAAAAAAAAAM!
Standing outside the library God watched as a blinding light appeared somewhere in the residential area a ray of white light reached to the sky, and the clouds all made way for it. The four horsemen has been gathered, Famine came later that day to see him while Death promised to fetch Pestilence on his way. He didn't give much thought on War, he always do as he pleases, anyways. He was sure he'll see one of them soon, one of his children will surely find out where he is and when that happens he wasn't really sure how to explain to them what he was planning. Just as he thought Lucifer would do the ultimate sacrifice to do commence the last line of defense—I'm sorry son, its not gonna work, Michael needs to awaken to complete this—this was the riskiest thing he had ever did in his life—more than creating the universe or the humans.
He remember suddenly when Michael was still young, when the innocent angel would follow him around, Lucifer thought him spells but he never managed to make progress—unknown to the angel it was all because of him—he removed his ability to do so. The angel always went to him telling him about his failed attempt and when he did, he always told him those words. He wish he could hear him say it again—
"All will be well soon, son."
"Kiyoshi?"
God turned as his human name was called by a familiar voice turning to meet Famine the bulky muscled man gestured towards the streets, "We're gathered, so?"
Kiyoshi smiled again, "Be in your posts, the righteous one has come." This time he will do it again…this time he will make sure that no one ever again will be bound by him, that the ones he love will be free. The cost of freedom is a high price to pay, but nothing is ever worthy could be cheap.
