SLIGHT GORE WARNING! I WILL MARK IT WITH ***

Izaya made his way down the street to go and get some more information on Shizuo from Shinra. Shinra was an angel of healing. He took on the human form and practiced as an underground physician. His was sent to earth to offer medical treatment to those who are less fortunate. Izaya and he used to be very close friends, but the two started to drift apart once the fallen angel started down his dark path of rebellion.

As he passed the opening on of an alleyway, a figure caught his attention. All movement stopped when his met with the man who was standing, waiting for him. The dark haired male wanted to run, but knew that it would be futile.

"Took you long enough to come get me Shiki~" The angel said with a masking smirk. His cocky words hid his true fear of what undoubtedly would be a painful punishment. The taller male said nothing, just stood with his hands in the pockets of his white suit. The man's pure white wings stood out against the dark sky, pristine and unblemished, unlike the others dark, charred ones.

"Let's not delay this anymore than it already has been delayed Izaya." The white angel's voice oozed authority. It sent shivers up the fallen's spine. He hesitated for a moment, before ultimately walking over to the other male. In the blink of an eye, the two were in another world. Shiki and Izaya were in the middle of what looked like a small arena. The whole area was overcome with the color white and had an air of purity. Looking around, the smaller male saw that they were surrounded by spectators. Izaya tried to mask his feelings of fear and uncertainty. He felt like he was about to partake in a roman coliseum fight and was going to be attacked by lions, battling for his life. The idea wasn't far off from the truth.

Looking forward, Izaya saw angel's risen up higher than the rest. Panic struck him, not only because of the anticipation of his punishment, but also the power that the beings judging him held.

Shiki walked in front of the fear stricken angel and looked down upon him.

"Izaya Orihara; you last time you were here, you were sentenced to earth to become cupid. Is this correct?" Izaya didn't want to reply, but his pride took over. Even to the highest of angel's, his demeanor still showed a sense of cockiness.

"That is correct~" The tall angel looked down on the smaller one. His eyes were filled with a sense of authority and judgment.

"It has come to our unfortunate attention that you are not performing your job properly." Izaya's heart was racing as he tried to maintain eye contact.

"Oh?"

"Countless deaths, people falling in love with animals, inanimate objects, the wrong person. Don't play dumb Orihara." Shiki said without hesitation or a variance in tone. Izaya remained quiet, trying to suppress the fear that was steadily growing within him. Still, he had too much to pride to let anyone see him in state where he wasn't in control. He forced a play smirk to pull at his lips as he stubbornly looked at the man addressing him.

"Love comes in many different shapes and sizes. It can also strike at the most unexpecting times to the most likely of people~" The angels that were observing the sight began to whisper to each other. Izaya didn't have to even guess at what they might be saying. He knew how they were talking about how 'disgracefully' he was to be talking to an arch angel in such a way. Shiki glared at the fallen angel and took a step forward.

"This can no longer continue Izaya. After much debate, the other arch angels and I have determined that you are not fit to perform such a job. You don't concept of love seriously enough. Furthermore, he have discussed and settled on the proper punishment for this heinous crime." Izaya's head was swimming with questions. Did this mean that he was no longer going to have to perform the tasks of being cupid? Shiki got down on one knee and looked into Izaya's eyes. The authority that dwelled in the arch angel's eyes made the fallen gulp. The piercing gaze made the shorter male feel naked and violated. Mind and body momentarily became disconnected as the two looked at each other.

"Izaya Orihara, you are sentenced to earth to live as a human. You will no longer hold power or the title of 'angel'. However, if you can prove to us that you are, indeed, capable of showing true love, you will regain your wings and resume your position as cupid." Izaya's mind desperately tried to take in everything that was being told to him, but the actuality of what was happening wasn't quite sinking in.

"If you do not show us that you are capable within a year, then you will condemned to live the human life where you die and forever remain in purgatory; neither heaven or hell. Do you understand?" Izaya nodded but he wasn't sure why he nodded. Nothing that was said particularly stuck to him. Shiki got up and looked down at the kneeling angel. The latter finally felt the weight of the arch angel's piercing eyes leave him. He breathe and opened his mouth to say something, but the older angel was nowhere in sight. A black eyebrow raised in confusion before those rose as his eyes shot open in shock.

Turning his head, Izaya saw that Shiki had grabbed the base of his blacked wings. The strong hands slowly started to close, sending shocks of pain through his body. The sound of bones being crushed echoed throughout the small arena that the two were situated in. The soon to be former angel threw his head back in pain as he let out a load scream from the pain. The pain level was excruciating. Each echo of his bones being crushed that met his ears made him scream louder.

"STOP! PLEASE!" Izaya's yelling didn't stop Shiki's slow paced crushing. His eyes remained locked onto the base of the wings, completely unfazed by what was occurring. The onlooker's reaction was a mix of sympathy and happiness. The arch angel's held similar expressions to the man that was currently ripping the wings out of the fallen angels back.

Izaya tried to get up, but find his body unable to move. The only part of him that he found able to move was from the neck up. The pain was beginning to send him over the edge of consciousness. His head was beginning to feel light and he began to see flashes of black as he felt faint.

With one last strong crush, Shiki had both of the black wings removed from Izaya's back. He let them go and at that moment, Izaya fell forward, completely unconscious. The arch angel looked down at the crimson red holes that where now in place where the wings were detached. The area slowly started to fill up with blood and start to pool up to run down Izaya's back.

The former fallen angel was now human.

Shiki turned around to find the muse standing a few feet away from the gruesome sight.

"Celty, I am leaving you to take care of this mess. Don't interfere too much but make sure he gets to where he is supposed to get to." The silent, headless woman nodded. She walked over and grabbed Izaya. Her horse came up next to them with a light neigh. The muse threw the bleeding man on before hopping on herself. Once the two where situated, the two were on their way back to earth.
