Chapter 3

Eiji sat by Oishi's bedside. The cut he gave to his childhood friend has been covered up by bandages along with other wounds. 'It was hard to believe one whose family used to be from Hell but Risen can sleep like an angel.' Eiji whispered as he folded his arms and placed them on the bed while looking at Oishi.

'It was also hard to believe that it was his parents who murdered mine.' Eiji thought with eyes filled with hatred opened to gaze at the slumbering one. 'I guess you can't blame them. After all, they were devils and kill to get paid. But still……………' Eiji thought as he pushed aside one of Oishi's black locks with his index finger. Eiji then turned to the dagger positioned at the side of his leather boots. 'The chance to kill him is still quite tempting.' Eiji stood up and walked away. 'Oishi, you will fight and win, fight and win until you die. That will be the day I'll finally forgive you, even if I have fallen for you.' Eiji thought as he narrowed his eyes on Oishi before closing the door. At the side of Oishi's face, there's blood threatening to leak out from a cut near his pulse.

Hell's Castle………………

'Have you heard?' 'Yeah! The 1st Prince brought an angel back!' 'I heard that the angel will be the heir to the Heaven's throne beside God!' A bunch of devil maids whispered to each other as they carried the clean laundry to each respective room. Fuji still hasn't awakened yet. This was starting to worry Tezuka who has been by his side the whole time. His father had stopped by to check up on Fuji a little while ago……………………

'So this is the Angel Prince.' His father stroked Fuji's fair and smooth face gently. 'Delicious. He's like almost ready to eat. I have a feeling he's still a virgin.' The King of devils spoke huskily before letting out a laughter which sends chills up a mortal's spine. Tezuka, who was in the room, did nothing but watch anxiously as his father drew a line down Fuji's chest slowly.

'Magnificient muscles. Though he still is a level below you. So perfect.' His father said as he licked lightly on Fuji's cheek, making Fuji twitch in his slumber. 'Sensitive too.' How Tezuka wanted to pull his father away from the angel! As if reading Tezuka's mind, the king stood up and walked towards Tezuka. 'You're the next heir to my throne. This little angel will be a present from me.' Tezuka raised an eyebrow to show his father he didn't understand what his father was saying. 'I want you to sin him. Damn him.' Tezuka was slightly taken back. 'Do me proud; as soon as he awakes from his slumber, I'll be here to watch the next successor to my throne damn this angel. Make it as painful as you can. Make him scream, cry and bleed and let him wish he was never born an angel.' At that, his father walked out of the room while Tezuka stared at Fuji's sleeping form with worried eyes.

At Ryoma's side……………….

Momoshiro has recovered but still has a bandage around his eye. Ryoma has been by his side since the battle and was doing his best to nurse him back to health and showing that he didn't care. A nurse who was helping to nurse Momoshiro seemed to be developing feelings for him. Ryoma was well aware of that. Every time Momoshiro touched her hand to hold the cup of water, she would blush crimson before excusing herself from the room. 'Tachibana Ann.' Ryoma made a mental note on her before continuing to peel the apple for Momoshiro.

Suddenly, he realized Momoshiro was smiling at him. Giving an annoyed look, Ryoma glared back at Momoshiro while peeling the apple. 'What's with that goofy smile on your face?' Ryoma asked, trying his best to sound annoyed. 'I'm quite honoured to have one of the princes to look after me. Lucky me.' Momoshiro said while chuckling. 'Ow!' Ryoma yelped when he accidentally cut his finger. Crimson blood leaked out of the wound. Just when Ryoma was about to walk to the bathroom, an arm caught his arm and yanked him on to the bed.

'Let me return the favour, my prince.' Momoshiro said softly into Ryoma's ear. 'What on-!' Ryoma was about to ask when Momoshiro started to lick the finger, causing Ryoma to blush a little. 'Hey I managed to make the snarky prince blush!' Momoshiro laughed as he poked Ryoma's nose. The next thing you know, Momoshiro had his face on the wall with smoke coming out as the fuming prince walked out of the door.

Heaven's quarters……………….

'Good morning Kikumaru-san!' Ohtori the angel of wizardry greeted his superior as Eiji walked past. 'Ohtori! Is that omelette I see nya!' The higher level angel said with sparkling eyes. 'I supposed you want it again huh?' Ohtori laughed as he gave his omelette in his hand to Eiji. 'Thank you! You're such a kind and generous soul!' Eiji said happily as he flew away. 'That's what you say to everyone who gives stuff, like Marui-san.' Ohtori sighed as he went back to the wizardry room.

Taking off hid robes, he revealed odd shaped wings. They were greyish. 'Oh no. Got to dye them again.' He mumbled before getting the necessary items for a dying potion. Ohtori was born a half breed. Mother devil, Father angel. Both his parents were executed when heard of their crime. Ohtori was not allowed to see how they were executed due to his young age. The angels said it is to spare him from the horrid sight. But Ohtori wasn't spared from the screams he heard from the execution room. He was later fostered by a kind wizardry angel. There, Ohtori learnt about kindness and wizardry. Ever since the execution of his parents, Ohtori was forced to dye his wings. Due to acknowledgement and also Kikumaru's condition, he didn't want to get slashed by him.

Hell's Castle……………………..

Fuji felt comfortable in bed. He never felt such comfort since the war started. War. Fuji opened his eyes and sat up. What happened? Wasn't he supposed to be dead and ready for reincarnation? He soon spotted a painted portrait the size of a photograph on the bedside table. There was a lady who was hugging onto a little boy who was very familiar.

'Tezuka?' Fuji widened his eyes. 'That means, I'm in the Hell castle. How did I get here anyway?' He was about to stretched his wings when a jolt of pain sent him back onto the bed. 'My wings…………' Fuji saw them bandaged up. 'Tezuka…………shot me.' Fuji remembered before disappearing his wings.

The door opened and Tezuka walked in with medicine for the wound. 'You're awake.' Tezuka said without a single change in his expression as he set the medicine on the table. 'Why am I here? Why did you bring me here?' Fuji asked with an angered tone. Angry because he didn't die. Angry because Tezuka had shot his wings. 'You're injured. I had to bring you back to be treated.' Tezuka said formally as he sat on the chair next to the bed, facing the angry angel on the bed.

'I wouldn't need treatment if you had not have shot me!'

'It was a battle and I had to carry out orders.'

'If that is so, you should have let me die there! We're natural enemies. We in the end destroy each other right?'

'I had no intention of destroying you.'

'Shooting an arrow through my wings is not called destroying me?'

'You wouldn't understand.'

Suddenly, Fuji remembered something.

'What happened to the angel castle?'

'We had to retreat as our forces were getting weak.'

'I have to go back.' Fuji sat up and was about to step off the bed when Tezuka stopped him. 'You have to rest.' 'My mother and sister are there! I have to protect them!' 'Your father will protect.' 'Yeah right!' Fuji struggled to get off but Tezuka laid himseldf over Fuji so Fuji wouldn't be able to get off.

'Let me go!'

'Fuji calm down!'

'My mother and sister are back there!'

'Fuji! They are fine! You don't have to worry!'

Tezuka was panicking at heart. Fuji was crying for some reason. Wasn't his family safe with his father? Fuji stopped struggling after a while but he didn't stop crying. He cried in Tezuka's arms the whole time.

Fuji-Chan: The next chapter is hopefully more interesting. Let's have a short preview.

Chapter 4:

White feathers were everywhere.

'Who are you!' Ohtori shouted as he gripped onto his wand tightly.

'Fourth Prince of Hell. Shishido Ryou.'

'Not now. Maybe later.' Oishi smiled before rushing off to the battlefield leaving Kikumaru standing at the corridor.

'You killed them.' Fuji collapsed onto his knees at the two female corpses in front of him.

'Fuji.' Tezuka said. Fuji slapped his hand away. 'What are you waiting for? You killed them. Why don't you kill me?'

Yuuta looked out of the window. The area around was calm. But He was worried. No news has arrived. Was his family safe?

'I'll be there for you now.' Tezuka hugged onto Fuji. No reply was heard, just tears falling along with white feathers with black tips on them.

Read and review and you can flame me since I think this story is going to be another disaster.
