Worlds Collide
Chapter 12
Zoe glanced outside, hearing the faint sound of wings flapping. She moved away from the window and a moment later, Takuya swooped into the room.
"Miss me?" He smirked.
Zoe gave him a tiny smile of her own, rolling her eyes. "You're a pain."
"Yeah, I get that a lot," he quipped. "So....have you made up your mind?"
Zoe hesitated, her emerald eyes cast down. "Yeah....I have."
Takuya raised an eyebrow. "And.....?"
"I'm still a little worried, but I'll take the risk," she replied, finally looking up at him.
"Can't resist my charm? Or my good looks?" He brushed up against her.
Zoe shook her head. "Wow, full of it, aren't you?"
"Did you expect anything otherwise?" He asked.
"No, not at all." Zoe smiled, resting her head against his shoulder. "So, how have you been in the past twenty-four hours?"
Takuya wrapped an arm around her and began to stroke her long blond hair. "Alright. I mean, I deal with idiots all day, so I'm kind of annoyed. Other than that, I'm just fucking peachy. You?"
"Don't even ask...." She sighed. "Can we go somewhere else? Just in case someone hears?"
"Oh, shit. I didn't even think of that." He picked her up, holding her tightly against his chest. "Once again, hang on."
He took off, the wind whipping in both their faces. It was pointless to shout above the noise, so they decided to keep quiet for the time being. Ten minutes later they arrived at the same mountain-top from the night before.
"I love it here," Zoe said softly. "It's has a beautiful view."
"Wanna know what else is beautiful?" He asked.
"Oh, don't even start with the pick-up lines." She playfully pushed him.
Takuya stuck out his lower lip. "Awwww...."
"No, don't pull that crap." Zoe gave him kiss on the lips.
The brunette immediately smiled. "Okay, I'm happy."
"That's good," she replied, letting out an exhausted sigh.
"What's wrong?" He asked, frowning.
Zoe raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Look I may be stupid, but I'm not an idiot.....Wait...." Takuya realized what he said.
"No, it's okay. It's just nice being able to get away from Heaven."
Takuya seemed surprised by her comment. "I thought Heaven was supposed to be 'paradise'. Why would you want to leave?"
Zoe sank to the ground, pulling him with her. "I don't know. Sometimes I just feel like I don't belong there."
Takuya looked confused, then pulled her into his lap. "How come? Did you kill someone?"
"No," she vacantly replied.
"Mutilate?"
"No, nothing like that. Sometimes I hate it there to be honest with you. Everyone looks at me strangely because I'm different."
Takuya chuckled. "I know that feeling."
"And I probably shouldn't tell you this, but...."
"What is it?" His eyes darkened somewhat. "Is someone hurting you?"
"What? No."
Takuya still looked suspicious. "Then what's going on?"
"Just pipe down for a minute and let me tell you." Zoe took a deep breath. "I was told that Hell is planning to attack earth within a week or so."
"Ha, yeah right. My father hasn't got a clue what he wants to do yet," he said with a laugh. "I was told to stay out of it."
"Anyway, I was also ordered to lead the armies of Heaven against you guys."
"You're kidding, right?"
Zoe groaned. "I wish. I was given direct orders to do so, and if I don't....let's just say that there will be consequences."
"This is bullshit," Takuya muttered.
"I know, I feel the same way." Zoe shivered slightly.
Takuya's large wings wrapped around the two of them, shielding them from the frosty air.
"Thanks." Zoe's voice cracked slightly. "I don't know what to do, Takuya. I feel like I'm trapped and that there's no way out."
"Once again, I feel the same way. My asshole father forbade me to leave Hell, but as you can see, I didn't listen," Takuya said proudly. "He thinks I'm going to cause trouble if I leave."
Zoe laughed. "Well, you already had sex with an angel. Is there anything worse you could've done?"
"Actually yes. I could've had sex with a gnome."
"I'm....not even gonna ask." Zoe's eyes had gone wide with confusion. "And my best friend is getting suspicious on top of everything else."
Takuya smirked. "You and me both. Only my friend wouldn't leave me the hell alone. So I threw him into a wall."
"How nice of you." The angel snuggled up against him. "Think you can make me a promise?"
"It depends," Takuya said. "Does it involve making myself look like an idiot?"
"I hope not," Zoe replied. "Not what I'm about to ask you at least."
"Well....okay. What is it?"
Zoe stared up at him. "My friend, Jasmine, is the only one in Heaven I really interact with. But there are certain things I can't even tell her and I hate bottling it up inside me. It eventually eats away at me."
Takuya shifted, making himself more comfortable. "Well, what is it?"
"Until my wing completely heals....would you mind...." Zoe's voice trailed off, as she was slightly embarrassed to be asking him of this.
"You want me to come visit you?" He offered.
"I feel stupid for asking you-"
Takuya pressed his lips to hers, kissing her softly. "Don't feel stupid for it. I was going to come see you every day anyway."
"So I could've saved myself from embarrassment by not asking you?" She feigned annoyance.
"Yeah. But I'm glad you asked. It made me feel like you enjoy my company...despite the fact that I'm a freak."
"You're not a freak," she told him. "You're just a little different."
Takuya shook his head. "Nah, I'm a freak. And I'm damn proud of it, too."
Zoe shrugged. "Whatever floats your boat. Hell, I'm probably a freak, too."
"Freaks have more fun," Takuya said happily. "We live in our own worlds of denial and oblivian."
"Here to being an outcast," she replied with a chuckle.
Takuya sighed. "So, do I have to bring you back anytime soon?"
Zoe thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Nah, screw it. I'm not in a hurry."
"Well, what if someone notices that you're gone?" Takuya asked.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," she said dishearteningly.
"Or..." A devlish smile spread across Takuya's face. "You could just claim that you stole a jet-pack and went out for a midnight flight."
The blond laughed. "Yeah, true."
"Do you even have jet-packs?" Takuya raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, they're for the angels with the bum wings."
Back in Hell
"I know he's up to something. My son has a habit of sneaking around and thinking he can simply get away with it."
The young man he was speaking to nodded. "Indeed he has."
Lucifer, none other than the Devil himself, twirled his silver goblet in his hand. "He is not here now, but next time he sneaks out, I want you to follow him, Dante."
Dante bowed. "Yes, sir. Understood."
"Whatever you do, make sure he does not see you. Takuya calls himself an idiot, but he can be very intelligent when he puts his mind to it. As careless as he is, he also has a way of covering up his tracks."
"Do you want anyone else to watch over him as well?" Dante asked.
Lucifer cast an annoyed glance at him. "No, you will do fine. Besides Takuya and myself, you are the strongest demon in Hell. I know you won't let me down."
Dante pushed his dirty blond hair out of his eyes, a satisfied smile on his lips. "Of course not. I will be sure to keep an eye on your son."
"He needs to shape up if he ever hopes to take over someday," Lucifer growled. "His behavior is less than adequate right now."
Dante's eyes darkened, but his smile didn't falter. "I'm sure he'll clean up his act soon enough."
Lucifer shook his head, then gulped down the red liquid in his cup. "You are dismissed. Remember, remain inconspicuous. Takuya is not stupid and he will rip you to shreds if he discovers that you are following him."
I doubt that, Dante thought bitterly. He had always hated Takuya, and envied his status. To him, Takuya was not fit to take over, despite his strong leadership skills.
"Dante." Lucifer was clearly agitated. "You are dismissed."
Dante snapped out of his trance. "Yes, sir. Sorry."
He quickly left the room, consumed by his own hateful thoughts. Someday, I'll prove that I'm the one who deserves to take over.
The Devil watched him leave, then concentrated on the door, causing it to slam shut. A moment later he rose, making his way to the young woman lying on a metal table. She was strapped down and her naked body was covered in bruises and deep gashes. Dried blood was caked all over her, but there was some that was still relatively fresh.
"Foolish son," Lucifer muttered to himself. "If you continue your disobedience, you shall eventually feel my wrath."
He walked leaned over the woman, who was barely concious. Grasping her head in his hands, he slowly lowered his mouth to her neck. After licking it clean, he greedily bit down on her throat. The woman let out a strangled scream, feeling as his teeth sank deeply into her skin. Lucifer yanked his head back, ripping out her larynx in the process. As blood pulsated from her gushing wound, the Lord of Darkness spat the bony mass out of his mouth. The woman slowly choked to death on her own blood, all the while with him lapping it up and taking out bites of flesh as well.
He chewed thoughtfully, then smiled to himself. Be careful, Takuya. I won't have mercy on you...
