Chapter Three
3rd POV (The Devil)
The Devil looked at his cat-like henchman. He had dark blue hair, and blue eyes. Two azure cat ears were perched on either side of his head. A tail of the same color swung playfully, from side to side. He had a lean body, with muscles. He was also tall and mischievous looking. In other words, for the Devil's plan, he was perfect.
"Me? But why? I mean, would they even trust me? Wouldn't you want someone more innocent looking?" Ikuto asked. The Devil chuckled, his laugh ice-cold.
"No, no. You are perfect for this position. Why? Because the Angels don't trust anyone with red eyes. Any other demon would definitely not be good enough. They will trust you; admire you, even just because of your eyes. Fools! You are only loyal to me!" Satan roared at the Angel's foolishness.
"Very, well." Ikuto said tightly. "When should we inform them that I'm coming?" The Devil looked at Ikuto then at the Adviser.
"We will inform them today, that you are coming, but you shall not leave until five days from now. (A/N- Hell and Earth years are about the same—they don't have leap years.)" The Devil told him. "In the mean time, we will prepare our armies to take over the Realms!"
1st POV (Amu)
All the Heads of the Forces were gathered in the Silver Sky Hall. And since Heaven has so many Forces to run smoothly, almost all the chairs were taken. The three most important Forces were the Acquire Force, who take the souls that had damaged their bodies on Earth (a.k.a died) and bring them to the Path of Heaven, the Guide Force, who guide the souls from the Path to Heaven and handed them to Saint Peter, and the last Force was the Search Force.
The Search Force scouted the outskirts of Heaven for lost souls and brought them to Saint Peter. They also checked inside the Gates of Heaven, just in case someone unworthy tricked the Saint and went in without permission.
Saint Peter walked to the front of the Hall and looked over the heads of the Heads and representatives and paused his eyes on me (I'm not a Head, but I'm a representative.) Then he continued. I waved my hand and a chair popped out of thin air and settled on the floor, allowing me sit down.
"Angels, we have come together for a special meeting here. I won't beat around the bush today. Let's get straight to the meat of the matter," He used some human expressions. "Several days ago, I got a message from the Leader of Hell. He proposed to me an idea. He said the his Realm is falling apart, and he wanted to send a demon to examine the structure of you Realm, so they could copy it and try to live on in peace. I told him that I would consult with you and tell him the answer."
Angels all over the room looked startled. I was shocked. The demons wanted peace? This had to be a trap! The other Angels seemed to realize the same thing and started protesting. The Head of my Force stood up and spoke loudly, so that all in the Hall could hear.
"Saint Peter! How can you even hesitate to refuse them! We cannot trust the red-eyed ones! They are chaos' offspring!" Brenda was my Head's name. She was 796 Haevs old (11, 940 Earth years old) and the third oldest person in Heaven. The Saint sighed, and flicked his wrist a hologram of the Devil appeared beside him.
"I know that you doubt them, but trust me, they are on the edge of destruction. If we don't help them, the Contract will be worthless." Saint Peter said softly. But his voice carried out through the crowd. "Heaven will be over-occupied, and the Angels over worked. Listen to his message."
The Hologram flickered to life and spoke. The Devil's voice sent chills down my spine. He was so evil; his voice was dripping with it.
"Saint Peter, I come to you with a…request." He spoke hesitantly. "My Realm is falling apart, the Lesser Demons are terrorizing the newcomers and fresh souls come to me too quickly. The number of death rates in Earth is increasing, so are the sinners, and my Realm's population." He paused. "My request is this: please allow a demon of mine to enter Heaven and take note of how you manage your souls. He will inform me of how you do that and we will try to mold it to our requirements.
"I only wish to better my Realm, and organize my souls. This is the demon that will be visiting you." Satan walked aside, and an azure-haired demon stepped into view.
He had blue cat ears and likewise tail. He wore a blue spend-like outfit. His eyes were the color of the oceans on Earth. The moment I saw his eyes, I knew something was wrong. Demons don't have blue eyes; they had red one. The Devil must be plotting something. We shouldn't let him through the Gates!
"I am Ikuto." Spoke the demon. He had a deep, husky voice, nothing at all like his masters'. He smirked. All the female Angels in the room swooned at his grin. I looked around. Only one thought seemed to occur in their minds. He's so handsome!
Why, I asked myself, can't they see that they're plotting something? Why? I looked up to Saint Peter. He locked eyes with me. I tried to get the message across to him. Don't trust them! They're planning something bad!But either my eyes were too unemotional or Saint Peter read them wrong, because he looked away and asked for a vote.
"All who agree to let Ikuto to enter our home; stand up." The whole female population of Angels stood with a deafening thud. Except for me. "All those against." The male population and I stood up for this vote. Saint Peter scanned the Hall and said loudly. "He will be allowed to enter. I shall inform the Devil. Meeting adjourned!"
We'll all die if we trust the Devil. Thoughts were running so fast through my head that it almost made me dizzy.
"Amu! Wait for me!" Tadase, a close friend of mine flew up behind me. I turned and he landed right next to me. "Did you vote for or against today?" He asked. We walked outside the Hall and opened our wings to fly to our destinations.
"No…I have a feeling that they're plotting against us. I don't trust them." I answered him as we soared over Silver Sky Palace.
"Oh, good. Well…um I wanted to tell you something." Tadase started saying. I looked at him with question marks in my eyes. He was quite nervous so he looked towards the stables clouds below. I saw a cloud heading our way, so I stopped and let it pass, but Tadase didn't even see it coming and was knocked off balance.
"Tadase! Are you alright?" I asked, with concern. He coughed and nodded. "What were you going to tell me?"
He shook his head and started blushing. "Nothing! I'll tell you later." Tadase took off to his Force. He was in the Register Force. The Register Force registers the human that are dead, about to die and become souls, and then they send the list to Saint Peter so he'll know whom to expect.
Hmm…I wonder what he was about to tell me. I thought. I saw Brenda so I flew over to her.
"Brenda! My shift is over." She nodded. "Did you vote for, or against the demon to visit?" I asked. Brenda blushed and ducked her head. I was shocked. Brenda, the third oldest Angel in Heaven, had been charmed by the cat-demon's hologram! It wasn't even real, just a hologram! Amazing.
I remembered his smirk that was worthy of notice from the Cheshire cat himself. I should nickname him Cheshire Cat. I thought sourly, and then smiled at my wit.
