Wanna Trade Wings?
Chapter Seven: Hold Me, Kiss Me, Raise Me

~As Insane as I Might Become, I Don't Want to Lose This Feeling~

A few days later...

Hibari was fast asleep, curled up in a ball, relaxing, when a loud shout woke him up in an instant. He sat upright, and saw Dino, looking in the pool of water, tears rolling down his face. Hibari quickly saw the source of this sudden rage- Dino's halo had almost completely faded. "I can't believe it," Dino sobbed. "I'm a fallen angel...!"

"No you're not, you baby, you've still got it," Hibari groaned, rolling over. "It's just fading is all."

Dino clenched his teeth, and glared at the demon. "And should I say something about those bite-sized horns on your head? Or how about I start calling your Patch, for your wings? Or need I mention the fact that you're losing yourself altogether? You sure as hell must be falling in love with me!" Hibari gaped. He stood, and backed away, walking into a corner of the cave.

"Well, it's easy to see what's making you fall, Dino," he muttered, his eyes wet with tears. It was so painful because, Hibari would never admit it, but it was true. Standard demon emotions didn't apply. It wasn't lust. It wasn't infatuation, either. Just as Dino had said, it 'sure as hell was love.'

"What did you say?"

Hibari gasped as those once heavenly arms grabbed on to his, then yelped with suprise as Dino kissed him. This was the only way to calm the both of them during a fight, and the demon knew it. Their lips came together, and then, suddenly, it was all right. Hibari and Dino kissed each other fiercely, each clawing at the other, and while Dino fought for dominence, Hibari could hardly do anything but sit pretty and let it happen. The white, thinning angel wings beat Hibari's sides as the angel came closer, and the demonic bat wings that were filled with holes and gashes draped over the both of them like tassles. They both knew that they were doomed. If things continued like this, they would definitely die together.

"Dino... hah... please," Hibari panted. "Easy with the wings."

"I didn't ask your opinion," Dino snarled, before kissing the demon once more. They both hated it. How they needed each other to stay even the tiniest bit calm... How they craved each other's warmth above everything else... How they wanted to share each other's bodies for eternity, and never let go...! It was a disaster for the both of them. It was heaven for Hibari and hell for Dino, yet at the same time, it was too good for both of them, and they could never get enough of each other. Dino at last broke the second kiss, gasping for air, and his eyes were wild as he looked at the quivering demon beneath him. "What, you cold?" he hissed. The demon shook his head.

"Seeing you like this breaks my heart," he rasped. The angel laughed.

"As if you ever had one," he chuckled. "One more..." Hibari placed his hand on Dino's chest, and gently pushed him back.

"I need to do something..." The demon picked up each and every feather that Dino had dropped during the two kisses, collecting a total of five. Each one he picked up was slightly lighter than the last, and Hibari sighed, gazing at the angel before him. "Dino, you really are going to fall," Hibari sighed. "We need to stop."

"I'm just helping you," Dino answered. Hibari hated it. How he had ruined the angel's beauty with his corossive, tainted hands, and how his lips felt so great when joined by the angel's. And how their passion for being with their enemy became so twisted that it dragged the both of them to the verge of insanity. They were destined to die.

"I'm serious, can we leave it here?"

"No...," Dino rasped, leaning in and taking the demon's lips once again. "Mm... Kyoya, you're so good..." The angel didn't know what to do. All of this lust just came pouring over him, and he only knew one thing he could do with it- use it on Kyoya. And use it, he did. Kisses became addictive. Ever since the first one, even though he swore it wouldn't happen again, he kept kissing the demon, over and over, time after time, making it better every time and making all of it so much more intense. Part of him wanted to fall so that he could be with the ravenette forever. But at the same time, seeing his faded halo that morning? That was just too shocking! But no matter what, the angel couldn't stop. He continued to make out with the demon, knowing that it was the biggest mistake of his life.

Hibari at last couldn't take any more. He didn't want Dino to fall. The beautiful being that resembled a tree- he was gone now. Autumn had turned into winter, and leaves were beginning to fall. In short, Dino's hair, that golden, smooth, mop of hair was now sticking up in several places, starting to become knotted and messy. As far as Hibari knew, angels didn't do 'bad hair days,' because they were so pure. Dino's skin was scratched up and torn all over, destroying that flawlessness that Hibari envied so much. And, worst of all, the beautiful, heavenly wings were now thinned, patchy, and rough. They couldn't comfort anything now. The feathers on the ends of his wings began to gray, and Hibari hated to see it happen. Dino had even shed his robes, only putting them back on when the night was particularly unforgiving.

"Dino," Hibari began, pushing the angel back. "I know it comforts you... I know that. I understand. But you really need to stop... before you fall."

The angel hissed, and stood upright. "I thought you had a thing for me," he protested.

"Dino, I love you."

It all fell silent. Hibari's horns became dull little nubs, and his fangs disappeared, leaving behind rows of straight teeth in their wake. Dino snorted, and began to walk way from the demon.

They hated it all.

The love, the sorrow, and everything in between. It was all to be despised. They were sinking into insanity and lust, never to be the same again. And the worst part was... there was nothing to do to stop it. "Kyoya," Dino began as he sat down on the opposite ends of the cave. "We're both retrogressing anyway... so what happens if I fall and you rise?"

"Then I guess we'll just be really dumb," Hibari muttered. He took out a recently lost feather from his cloak, and gazed at it. The object was tinted silver, not even close the black it would usually turn beneath his touch. And since Dino was losing purity, there was only one explanation- Hibari's tainting ability was being lost. The demon shed gentle tears to know that he was really and truly losing his demonhood. It was scary, but... at the same time, he wanted to rise. He wanted to be capable of love. He wanted it more than anything. That foreign, beautiful emotion that every angel possessed... The distant and delicious idea of being beside someone for eternity...

Hibari wanted it so bad.

Dino, on the other hand, didn't want to lose his life as an angel, but quickly realized that he had no choice. He was completely lost. He had nothing to compare with the sensation of falling. It was truly as though he was spiraling into a world of despair and agony, never to awake from the Hell he was flying into. He didn't want it. He did his best to resist, but, as the case with all falling angels, all he could do was let it happen. Resistance was futile.

In the Depths of Hell...

"My Lord... I've returned to do your bidding," came the soft voice. "I apologize for my departure earlier... I was distracted... but I could never repay you for this new life. The rebirth you gave me was spectacular, my Lord, I-"

"Shut it, Mukuro Rokudo," Xanxus snapped. "I gave you life for one reason- you need to find the traitor. And kill him." Mukuro bowed down low so that his japanned, antler-like horns touched the ground, and Xanxus reached out, grabbing on to one of the prongs. Immediately, the horns swelled until Mukuro could just barely hold them up confortably, and Satan hissed, "Find him. Kill him."

"Yes, Master," Mukuro agreed. The revived demon flapped his large wings, revenge swimming in the placewhere his heart once was, and left Hell, ready to return to his deathbed for a visit.
