Hell’s Angel Heaven’s Demon

  Chapter 10   Shike sighed. He wanted to shoot everyone in annoyance. The paperwork piled on his desk was really bothering him. Two people were murdered today, an angel and a demon. They both were drowned in the river leading to earth. To him it was more like a double suicide considering he knew whom the demon was. It was his friend. She was in love he could tell, with who he didn’t know. Well, now he did. Maybe it had to do with the rule even with the peace treaty there was no way an angel and demon could even be together or have a child together. They could be friends but nothing more.   He hated those stupid rules. Oh well he couldn’t help it. At least he was able to see Hotaru and Duo from time to time with Serenity’s help. She may look innocent but there’s some of that wild streak in there somewhere.   Then his thoughts drifted to his son. Even if his son denied it he could tell he was in love with Serenity’s son. It wouldn’t be allowed in heaven because they didn’t allow it saying it’s wrong since opposites can only attract one another. But their personalities are very different, which is probably what made it click. He didn’t care as long as Duo was happy. But he was afraid that Duo would get hurt and he didn’t want that. Of course this could just start another war, which was already brewing secretly. He already knew who was behind it but he doubted that Serenity would listen to him. He sighed. It was going to be another one of those days. He just hoped the kids he met wouldn’t lose anyone.   ------------------   Hotaru’s eyes scanned around her dimly lit room. It was surrounded by lamps, which were the only source of light among the room. She could never forget the habit of collecting lamps, a favorite hobby of sorts. For the past few days it began to become tense around the council. Things began heating up. It was almost similar to the WWI and WWII down on earth. But between the beings of the underworld and sky it was more like a civil war. She knew exactly who’s behind it all and she wished she could kill him with her glaive.   But he was higher up the council so she couldn’t do anything. She had to have evidence to convict him, strong evidence, not even a video camera is specific enough. Since with the jump in technology on Earth they could manipulate images through computer and make it look like the accused did it. It was total bull. She was sure a war was going to start and Duo was going to be in the middle of it. Right now she had a meeting to go to and this was not going to be pretty.   ------------------   Serenity and Hotaru stared in utter shock. It was not supposed to happen. The majority was supposed to be the opposite. This was not happening. Hotaru took a stand before Serenity could stop her.   “I decline this course of action!” she yelled over the gossip going around. They stopped their discussions and looked at her. She stared back with an expressionless look nerving the whole council. They were afraid of her temper. Getting her angry could set her off and she would destroy the heavens and hell with just three little words.   “You, woman, have no say. The only reason you decline is because he’s your son!” Wiseman voiced out among them. Her eyes glared at the hooded seer. This was a time when her friends started to stare in shock. Mina stood up.   “You mean that the half-breed we’re supposed to destroy is your son! But how?! That’s impossible!” Mina yelled out everyone’s thoughts. Serenity remained quiet not willing to interfere with the discussion. Hotaru flared.   “Don’t call him that! He doesn’t deserve to be called that!” Hotaru yelled back. Mina backed away a little. “He has done nothing wrong because I raised him that way. He doesn’t deserve to be punished for what he caused in the first place!” she pointed towards the seer.   “What I caused?! You ungrateful wretch, thanks to me you were still able to keep your son instead of tossing him in the river!” He yelled.   “Actually thanks to Serenity-sama that I was able to keep him! You on the other hand deserve none! They were in love! Why do you think they died?! Because of this stupid treaty that you assigned saying that demons and angels cannot bear a child together! You said they could never be together! There was a huge punishment for that and if they ran they would die anyways! Well guess what, I had a child with a demon and he’s still alive and I intend to keep it that way! Guess what else! We’re having another one in months time!” She said before storming out of the room before anyone could say anything else. Silence rang in the hall. Another anonymous council member stood up bowing at the brother and sister.   “My lady and lord, we follow your decision on this. Choose wisely,” he said to Serenity and Diamond.   “I will go with Destruction’s word on this. The hellion cannot be charged for something he did not commit into doing,” Diamond spoke softly. Serenity nodded.   “Me too. He cannot be blamed for something he didn’t do. This meeting is over.” She said standing up and heading out to follow Hotaru.   ------------------   Duo and Heero looked up as Hotaru stormed into the house. They were in the living room playing video games again. It’s not like there’s anything else to do. She propped down on the couch tiredly. They both looked curious. Duo stood up walking over to her and tapped her shoulder. Hotaru peeked one eye open to him.   “Hey mom what’s wrong?” Duo asked.   “It’s nothing hellion. I’m just stressed out because of one the people I’m forced to work with.” She answered giving him a small smile.   “Is it Wiseman?” Heero spoke up. She nodded before sighing.   “He should be sent to hell. I’m sure Shike could put him to good use.” Not realizing she made a mistake Heero looked at the curiously. Hotaru realized a few seconds later with the curious glance and knowing look. “Shike’s the one who Setsuna meets with concerning things between both sides. They say that the treaty actually is there but they’re still trying to patch things up. Well you two I’ve gotta get going again. I have some business to discuss with demons.” She stated winking at Duo who smirked knowingly.   “Or is it just daydream staring at them?” Duo teased.   “Goodbye kids!” she said before running out the door. Duo stared smiling at the way his mother left. He was snapped out of his stupor when Heero tapped his shoulder. He fought to hide the blush creeping towards his face at the other’s closeness.   “What was that all about?” Heero asked.   “Oh, my mother just likes staring at a hot piece of meat when she sees one. But she can’t do anything else especially with the treaty rules. Hey, c’mon lets play I still have yet to beat you on your own game.”   “You wish.”   ------------------   Hilde was bored, very bored. She didn’t know what to do. No one was free today. Well actually she didn’t ask everyone. Sitting up from the couch she went out the door intending to go over to Duo’s place. He was the only one she didn’t ask.   ------------------   Duo zipped through his house with a semi-angry Heero after him. He quickly ran through the halls looking through each room quickly for some place to hide. He ended up in the library. He quickly climbed to the top of the shelves and hid there in the shadows the best he could. His dad taught him.   He eyed Heero as he entered the room. Heero scanned through the library and looked towards the top. He couldn’t find anything. But he stared at Duo’s hiding spot as if knowing before exiting the door.   Duo sighed in relief before silently crawling down the shelves.   “You aren’t very good at hiding.”   He was startled and lost his footing. He fell and landed on top of a body since he couldn’t let out his wings fast enough. That wasn’t worst part.   He was kissing Heero.   He couldn’t pull away as he was held in surprise. They both were brought back to reality as the door opened. They broke off and looked towards the door to see Hilde standing there with a blush on her face.   “Uh…um…sorry…for interrupting…I’ll…just…leave…yeah,” she stuttered and shutting the door, running.   Duo blushed before getting off his companion. Heero followed with minimal red on his cheeks.   TBC-----------   Kinshin: OMG! I’m so probably late in updating. It’s because I’ve gotten hooked into playing a video game. I’m too lazy to search the title in the living room but I’m sorry for the delay! I’ve just been having some other ideas recently.   Like it? Review!
