Onyx Feloric
For once in his life, Naruto felt that he was a little privileged. As soon as he had walked inside the Tower, he was ushered by a lower ranking Angel into a separate room away from the others. His wings were slightly ruffled from the flight and he used a bit of power to soothe them down, making the Angel escorting him shiver. Naruto scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry."
The Angel, his wings white with midnight blue streaks, smiled. "Don't worry, Sir."
"Please, call me Naruto. And who do I owe the honor?"
The boy frowned, surprised by the fact that a higher-ranked Angel was asking to be known on a first name basis. "K-konohamaru, Sir." At a look from the Angel, he swallowed. "I mean, Naruto."
The blonde haired Angel smiled. "Well, Konohamaru it's nice to meet you and thank you for escorting me to wherever it is I am going. I must admit that I am surprised that I am escorted anywhere to be honest."
"Why, S-Naruto?" The brown haired boy was surprised at the attitude of this Angel.
"Well..." The boy watched as a hand unconsciously slid over the seal on his lower stomach. "It just makes me curious."
"Well, here we are, Naruto. If you need anything, I can give you my assistance." He bowed and smiled as he turned leave. The boy thought that Naruto was a very interesting person, at least for a high ranking Angel.
Naruto didn't like the idea of going into a room he had no idea about. Do not worry, Kit. Nothing seems out of place at the moment, but you will be slightly surprised.
If the blonde Angel did not like one thing about the fox it was that he rarely gave direct answers to anything. Shrugging, he pushed the door open and stepped inside. What he saw almost made his jaw drop, but years of practice made it stay still. He was surrounded by Angels of the highest Rank and a few in his own category. Instantly he was self conscious, but with an assuring mental caress from Kyuu he relaxed and entered the room with his head held in confidence.
Neji Hyuga frowned almost all the time. Very rarely did a smile ever light his features, but shock occasionally did. When he saw Naruto Uzumaki enter the room, his jaw almost dropped. The boy was as gorgeous as ever, with his white silver and crimson flecked wings, tone body, sun kissed skin, and brilliant blue eyes. He did wonder, however, what the fuck he was doing here and by the look on the boy's face, so did he. Neji's pale wings fluffed a bit in curiosity. He turned to his uncle Hiashi next to him and whispered. "What is Uzumaki doing here?"
Hiashi snorted lightly. "Well, he must be here for some reason if he was escorted here, but I couldn't imagine why. Very few lower ranking Angels are here, but I suppose since he is the highest in his rank, which isn't far behind ours, he must have some importance here. Though, displaying that seal isn't exactly something to be proud of."
Naruto was very conscious of the whispers, but the fox made sure to give him mental reassurance every now and then to keep his apprehension down. He desperately looked around for a familiar face. His blue eyes lit up when he caught sight of said familiarity.
Kakashi Hatake was bored off his ass but he smiled when he saw a familiar face catch his own. His pure silver wings perked up in interest as the blonde Angel approached. "Hey, Kakashi." They embraced. "Boy am I glad you're here. I was afraid I would be the odd ball out, but now I have company."
The silver winged man frowned playfully. "Are you saying that I am an odd ball, because that isn't very polite, Naruto." He crossed his muscular arms.
Naruto chuckled and smacked the man on the chest. "Don't be such a drama queen, Kakashi. You know what I mean." His voice sobered and Kakashi regretted even opening his mouth.
"I didn't mean it."
"Don't worry." His eyes switched from slightly depressed to curious. "What is this meeting for and why am I here?"
"Don't know, but since we were all told to be here, I guess it's important."
Chains rattled as their captive struggled against his bonds. His pure black wings strained with the effort of trying to free himself, but it was no use. His magic had been sealed off with the chains and though his physical strength was impressive the titanium steel was unbreakable. They watched as the creature slowed his efforts and stilled. Crimson eyes were unfocused as they watched him. Blood slid down his arms onto his chest from wounds made by the steel chains.
"The Angels are gathered as you requested, my Lord, and the King awaits your presence."
"Good, Kabuto. See to it that the blood is removed and he is unconscious. I don't want him to be struggling while on display." The Archangel walked away calmly, pure dark green wings trailing behind him.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
