Worlds Collide
Chapter 33
Three day later
"So, how are you liking it here so far?" Takuya asked.
Zoe smiled, wiping the blood off of her knife with a rag. "I like it. Everyone's so much nicer here than in Heaven."
Takuya raised an eyebrow. "Really? I find that hard to believe. Demons are assholes."
"I resent that!" Kouji snapped as he walked by.
"Do you deny it?" Takuya asked.
"No, I do not!"
Takuya snickered and looked at Zoe. "See?"
"Yeah, but angels are stuck-up. Trust me, after dealing with them for seven long years, you'll understand," the blond told him.
"I'll take your word for it. So, any idea where Kouichi is? I haven't seen the bastard all day," Takuya commented, taking the knife from Zoe. "Nice blade you got here."
Zoe looked around for a moment, then remembered. "Oh, I think he said that he was going out with Jasmine today."
"She actually gave him a chance?" Takuya asked incredulously.
"Looks like it, seeing how he's been gone for a few hours."
The brunette snorted. "Well, we'll see how it went when he comes back. If his arm's been cut off, then it went badly. If he comes back with only a black eye and maybe one or two broken bones, then it went pretty well."
"And if he comes back uninjured?" Zoe asked.
"Never seen it happen before," Takuya said with a laugh. "Mind you, he usually screws around with demons. And demons have pretty short tempers."
Zoe rolled her eyes. "Yeah, no kidding."
"So, how's Dante doing?"
"He already went insane, so right now he's in the process of babbling to himself incoherently. Besides, you should know this," Zoe pointed out.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Takuya replied with feigned innocence. "Just because I went into his chamber and used only a scalpel, it doesn't mean I did anything."
Suddenly, Kouichi appeared before them in a burst of flames.
"How'd it go?" Zoe asked him, an amused smile on her face.
"It went pretty good, but I'll tell you more about it later. Right now, I have a message to deliver to you guys," the raven-haired demon told them.
Takuya frowned. "What is it?"
"Well, Jasmine informed me that there is already a new god, and that she would like to speak with everyone that was involved in the massacre three nights ago," Kouichi said. "So the three of us, plus Kouji and J.P., have to go to earth as soon as possible."
"The new god is a chick?" Takuya asked.
Zoe threw him a dirty look. "Got a problem with that?"
"No, not at all," he quickly replied. "Just wasn't expecting that."
"I'm gonna go find them," Kouichi said.
Takuya stopped him before he could go, however. "Nah, let me handle it. KOUJI! J.P! Get your asses over here right now!"
Zoe and Kouichi blocked their ears, exchanging glances.
"Damn, Takuya. You don't have to yell," J.P. muttered, making his way over. "What's up?"
"Yeah, what do you want?" Kouji asked in an irritated voice. "Now that you've deafened us."
"According to your brother, all of us have to go to earth right now," Takuya said.
Kouji raised an eyebrow. "For what?"
"There's a new god that wants to meet with us," the brunette replied. "Kouichi can explain the details when we get there."
"Whatever," Kouji said, uninterested.
Takuya gently took Zoe's hand, and the five of them vanished in a whirl of fire. Seconds later, they were transported to earth, to the usual abandoned alley they went to.
"So where do we go?" Zoe asked.
"Follow me," Kouichi told them, spreading his wings.
He took off into the night sky, his friends close behind. They flew through the clouds, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible.
"There's a deserted building a few minutes away where they wanted to meet," Kouichi said, glancing back at them.
"So, how'd your little date go?" Kouji asked in a taunting voice. "Did she let you hold her hand?"
"Fuck off," his twin snapped. "And if you must know, she let me kiss her. So there!"
Takuya laughed. "And she didn't smack you?"
"Assholes," Kouichi muttered.
About five minutes later, they eventually came up to the building he had told them about. They cautiously made their way inside, looking around to make sure that no one was around to witness them.
"I've been expecting you," a soft feminine voice said.
They entered one of the rooms off to the side to see a large round cherrywood table. Seated at the table were Jasmine and another unfamiliar woman.
"Who are you?" Takuya asked.
The woman gave him a warm smile, though they could not see it. Her long straight white hair cascaded down half-way down her back and her onyx eyes were piercing. A light blue scarf hid the rest of the features of her face, making her eyes that much more dazzling. In contrast to the usual white wings of angels, hers were a pale blue color. She wore an off-shoulder white dress, the hem of it brushing up against her creamy thighs. Ivory sandals completed her outfit, and delicate gold markings encircled each of her ankles.
"I am Seraphina, the new ruler of Heaven," she said. "And you are Takuya, none other than Hell's latest leader."
"Yeah, so what's this about?" Takuya asked uneasily. "What did you want to speak to us about?"
"Would you please take a seat? That is, if you don't mind."
Takuya hesitated, then sat down with the others.
"I understand that things have been a little stressful for the past few days. We've each taken the place of our corrupt leaders, which isn't the simplest of tasks. I really don't want anything else like this to happen again, so I was wondering if you would mind making some negotiations," Seraphina said.
"Sounds good to me. As strange as it may seem to you, I have no interest of taking over earth. I'll admit that I once used to crave the feeling of destruction and chaos. I still do, to be honest with you. I do not, however, wish to do anything to earth. I have enough shit on my plate as is," he told her.
Seraphina gave him a small hidden smile. "I never knew Zoe all that well, but I did know she was a good person. It's obvious that you two have some very real feelings for each other. However, I cannot allow demons to enter into Heaven anymore. There's too much risk in my part. And I'm sure you don't allow angels into Hell, so this way neither one of us can one-up the other."
Kouichi looked at Jasmine wistfully. "Can I still see you, Jasmine?"
The dark-haired angel looked at Seraphina questioningly.
"I personally don't mind if you two continue to see each other. I just can't allow you to enter into Heaven," the white-haired woman said. "You may meet up on earth as often as you like. Unlike the previous ruler of Heaven, I don't care who you see. However, if I see one of my angels endangered, I will do whatever it takes to protect them."
Kouichi smiled. "Understood perfectly."
Seraphina sighed. "There is much work to be done in Heaven. I have appointed Jasmine as my advisor to help me keep things in order, which is why she is here. And she comes in handy if I need a message to be delivered."
"Thanks," Jasmine said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "Glad I could be of some use."
"Oh, you know that you are," Zoe quipped.
"She's much more helpful than the other angels, I can tell you that much," Seraphina said, taking a sheet of paper out.
Takuya's dark eyes narrowed. "What's that?"
"It's a contract to make sure neither of us break any rules. It pretty much states that demons can't enter Heaven, and for us to leave earth alone. You may read it if you'd like."
Takuya carefully read the paper, then nodded. "Alright. Sounds reasonable to me."
Kouji snorted. "You sure? You didn't just skim over it like you usually do?"
"I read it, so shut up," Takuya shot back.
Seraphina chuckled and looked at Kouji. "I'll take his word for it."
Kouji blushed slightly, dropping his gaze down onto the table.
Takuya grabbed a pen from his coat and scribbled his signature onto the bottom of the page. "Are you signing this thing, too?"
"Of course," she said. "It wouldn't be right if I didn't."
"You're way different than the other guy." Takuya handed it over to her. "I wasn't a huge fan of him in case you couldn't tell."
"I didn't agree with many of his decisions," she replied, carefully signing her name below his. "And I can tell that you're not like your father was."
Takuya sighed. "Yeah. I used to be, but not anymore. I'm lucky that I found Zoe or else the world might be enslaved by now."
"So.....nice wings you got there," Kouji suddenly blurted out, catching Seraphina slightly off guard.
"Oh, thank you. Comes with the title, I guess. Now people know not to mess with me," she said with a smile. "I think they're a nice shade."
"Yeah, me too." Kouji turned even redder, regretting what he said. "I mean....uh...."
Takuya stood up and grabbed the back of his shirt. "Come on, let's go. Before you make an even bigger fool of yourself."
"Hey!"
"It was nice meeting you," Seraphina said, rising from her seat. "Take care."
Jasmine rushed over to Kouichi and gave him a light kiss on his lips. "I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yup. Same place we went to today?" He asked.
The angel nodded. "Sounds good."
"Come on, we better get going before your brother's eyes fall out of his head," Takuya chimed in.
"Shut up!" Kouji snapped.
"Bye," Takuya said to Seraphina, before the five of them rerturned back to Hell in a fiery explosion.
Once they were in the main chamber, they all sighed with exhaustion.
"I'm going to bed." Kouji yawned. "Later."
Takuya pressed his lips against Zoe's wrapped his arms around her waist. "Do you have any regrets?"
The blond snuggled up to his chest and sighed. "None whatsoever."
"Well in that case, let's go to bed too. I'm tired," Takuya said with a fake yawn. "Really tired."
Zoe rolled her eyes. "Sure you are. But okay, a bed sounds pretty good right about now."
Takuya smiled, then gingerly touched her flat stomach. "Don't know what I would do without you two."
"Probably go insane," Zoe quipped.
"Too late. Let's go." With that Takuya led her to the bedroom, locking the door behind them.
On the door was big sign that read 'Do not disturb. If you dare, I'll cut your head off.'
