Worlds Collide
Chapter 19
"Takuya, I think we should be more careful."
Takuya looked at Zoe, surprised. "What do you mean?"
"Well, my friend Jasmine is starting to get suspicious and it's just that....."
"You're afraid of getting caught," Takuya finished.
The blond nodded. "Yeah, kind of. Are you?"
"Eh, not really."
"You can't be serious. Takuya, if anyone finds out, they might tell you father," she pointed out.
Takuya sighed. "Whatever, I can deal with him."
"Will you stop being so damn stubborn? I know that people are probably getting suspicious of you. You can't deny that."
"Okay, fine. People are noticing my absences more, but it's not their place to say anything about it," he replied.
Zoe grabbed Takuya's jacket and tried to shake him. "Don't you get it? Someone might still rat you out. They're not gonna directly confront you, but they might try to get you in trouble with your father.
Takuya looked down. "Yeah.....I guess you're right. And there is someone in particular that would just love bringing me down."
"Who?" Zoe asked.
"Just some bastard who wants to take over Hell someday," he said. "Like that's ever gonna happen...."
Zoe leaned her head against his shoulder. "Maybe we should cool it for a day or two. Just so suspicions die down a little."
"Yeah, that would probably be a good idea....." He hesitated, then took a deep breath. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Takuya ran a hand through his hair. "My old man plans on raising Hell in a few days."
Zoe's green eyes widened. "What?!"
"Saturday night to be exact. And on top of that, I'll be leading the armies."
"Shit," Zoe muttered, sinking to the ground. "We'll be fighting and killing each other.....What are we gonna do?"
Takuya sat down beside her, pulling the angel into his arms. "I don't know. I'll try to think of something but I can't promise anything. My father is hell-bent on starting the Apocolypse."
"Are you?" Zoe asked him, staring into his dark eyes.
"I used to be," he admitted. "Until I met you."
Zoe kissed him, trembling in his arms. "I don't want to start a war."
"You won't be starting it, but you might get stuck in it," he said. "You can't tell anyone in Heaven the exact day that Hell will rise."
"Why not? We'll be screwed if I don't say anything," she shot back.
"No, you can tell them that Hell will be attacking very soon and to be ready when it happens. You don't want them asking how you know the exact day it'll happen or they'll suspect shit. Just tell everyone to keep an eye out." Takuya stroked her hair. "If anyone finds out that I told you, my ass is on the line."
The blond gave a tired sigh, then nodded. "Alright, I promise I won't say anything. In the meantime, we should wait a few days before we see each other."
"Yeah, I'll see you Wednesday night. This fucking blows....."
"I know it does. But we don't have much of a choice at this point. I'll be stuck training for the next few days, and you might be too."
Takuya laughed. "I don't train. There's no need for me to."
Zoe rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Either way, you'll probably be busy."
"Most likely," he muttered. "This is never gonna work, though."
"What do you mean? Keeping our relationship a secret?" Zoe asked.
Takuya chuckled. "No, Hell taking over earth and maintaining it. Demons are lazy and don't even want to bother running Hell. Do you really think they're going to deal with earth on top of that?"
Meanwhile
Kouichi sighed, looking at the mutilated body of Courtney. A moment later, her limbs reattached to their desinated places, reviving her.
"Get me out of this hell!" She screamed.
The dark-haired demon sighed, pulling his ear-plugs out. "I can't take your annoyance anymore. I'm taking a friggen break."
"Fucker!" Courtney yelled at him.
"At least you won't be alone," he muttered.
The redhead's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
Kouichi snapped his fingers and the girl suddenly found herself surrounded by disgusting creatures. There were scorpians, snakes, tarantulas, leeches, and rats all around her, trying to climb up her restrained body.
Courtney shrieked in terror as Kouichi slammed the door shut behind him, letting the throbbing in his head lessen.
"Kouichi!"
Annoyed from his headache, he looked up to see Kouji walking over to him. "What?"
"Hey, have you seen Takuya?" Kouji asked. "I've looking for his ass everywhere but I can't fucking find him."
"Well, I haven't seen him....or his ass for that matter," Kouichi quipped.
Kouji rolled his eyes. "I'm serious, you idiot. I have to find him right away."
Kouichi frowned. "What happened?"
"Fucking Satan is looking for him."
"Shit," the short-haired twin muttered. "Why does Takuya always run off at the worst possible times?"
"Because this is Takuya we're talking about. He's a royal pain in the ass," Kouji responded.
Kouichi looked around. "Well, where's J.P.?"
"Out looking for Dumbass." Kouji sighed.
"Dumbass as in Takuya or dumbass as in Dante?" Kouichi quipped.
"Takuya. Right now Dante is probably being the little kiss-ass he usually is.....though I haven't seen him around either."
Kouichi raised an eyebrow. "Think he might be out with Takuya?"
Kouji snorted. "Are you kidding? They hate each other more than life itself."
"Well, nowadays most people hate life anyway," Kouichi pointed out.
"Oh, will you just shut up already? We need to find Takuya right away. So get your ass into gear and let's go."
"You're not the boss of me, baby brother." Kouichi followed him anyway.
Kouji glared back at him. "Don't make me kill you."
"Don't make me throw you in the chamber with Courtney."
"......Okay, you win," Kouji said.
"Not thrilled about the fact that it's infested with spiders, snakes, and rats?" Kouichi asked.
His brother groaned. "No, I'm not thrilled about the fact that it's infested with Courtney..."
In Heaven
"I'm going to miss you," Zoe said softly as she reached up to touch Takuya's cheek.
"I'm going to miss you, too." He held her hand to his face, staring into her eyes.
Zoe gave him a tiny smile. "Wednesday night. Don't forget."
"I will never forget when it comes to you," he whispered.
The two held each other in a tight embrace, not wanting to let go. Tears trickled down Zoe's face in twin rivers.
"Hey, it'll only be a few days until I next see you," Takuya told her, wiping them away. "Don't cry."
"It's not that. I'm just dreading on what is to come," she said. "I'm afraid of the destruction and chaos that will come with the war."
Takuya sighed. "Yeah, me too."
"I wish I knew what the outcome would be," she cried. "I don't want to be any part of this but I don't have a choice in the matter."
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you, no matter what." Takuya gave her a soft kiss, then pulled away. "I have to go now. I'll see you later."
Zoe nodded. "I love you."
Takuya smiled. "I love you, too."
A moment later, he was gone. Zoe gazed outside, a clenching feeling in the pit of her stomach. Suddenly, she sprinted to the nearby bathroom, collapsing to the floor in front of the toilet. As she vomited, her body shook in fear. She could see only three outcomes of the battle.
Darkness. Destruction. Death.
