Yami No Matsuei Fan Fiction ❯ Did it hurt when you fell from the heavens? ❯ At first sight ( Chapter 2 )

I m sorry for mentioning the word `angel' a lot of times in this chapter, but how could you say angel in another way? I was going to write this chapter earlier but I got the flu and have not left my bed for over three days! Talk about being bored out of your skull!

Please R&R

Did it hurt when you fell form the heavens?

Chapter two: At first sight

The world spun around him as Tsuzuki opened his eyes. He couldn't see anything that wasn't ether twisted or blurry and he couldn't see colour ether. His whole body hurt as he slowly sat up, only to be hindered by his wings that were still warped around him. Groaning he rubbed his sore head. He tried to stretch his aching wings, only to notice that they were heavy with rain that fell heavily upon him. The rain must have awoken him, he figured out.

"Where am I?" he asked himself. His amethyst eyes scanned the new, dark world around him. He had never seen this much filth in his whole life not even when he worked in his garden back home. Home, where he wanted to be. He noticed that he was lying in an ally that was filled with dumpsters and other things he didn't want to know about. Through the ally entrance he could see humans walking through the rain, umbrellas over their heads. Their clothes, he noted, wasn't colourful but dull and worn out but the cloths still looked fresh. Odd. They didn't seem to notice him as he sat among the trash.

Tsuzuki could feel the cold seep through his flesh and into his bones. With a lot of strength he managed to fold his wings around him to shield him from the falling rain and try to gain some warmth. He shook not only with cold, but with fear. He had never been on earth and all he knew about it was what he had been taught by Watari. Watari… he should be worried by now. He had always been fascinated over the many stories that Watari had told him and couple of other angels in Tsuzuki's age. He had listened for hours before Tatsumi had told them all to go bed because `Tomorrow is working day and I do not want sleeping workers on the field!'. Tsuzuki had remembered that very line because it had happened the day before he got his rank and first job as a gate keeper. How he missed Watari and he even missed Tatsumi.

"And I can't get back home until I figure out the meaning of life… at least what Banok said. I never had a life except the one I had in heaven… How should I know the meaning of the life here?" he whispered to himself and drew his knees closer to himself. "I can't show myself around here ether with my wings on my back. People would think that I m a monster of some kind…"

"I don't think you look like a monster, winged one" a new voice said.

Tsuzuki's head snapped up at hearing the voice. His amethyst eyes travelled over white clad legs and up to see the face of the newcomer. He was stunned at what he saw.

The man before him looked a lot like one of the high angels in the holy temple back home. The man was clad in all white except for his tie and shirt that was a grey/purple colour. The man's skin was almost white and both his hair and eyes were a metallic grey, looking a lot like Tsuzuki's own wings. Only one eye was visible for the other was hidden under the metallic coloured forelocks. Thin rammed glasses were balanced on his nose and the glass shined even in the dull darkness that surrounded them. At first sight he looked like an angel like Tsuzuki himself, but something wasn't right about the man. Something that Tsuzuki didn't like at all.

Tsuzuki huddled even further back until his back hit the brick wall behind him. He didn't want this man to see him. An angel that had been seen by a human often got punished. The punishment depended on if the human had only gotten a glimpse of the angel or if the human had spoken or touched the angel in question. Often the punishment involved, besides loosing the rank the angel currently had, that the wings were removed from the angel's back. Tsuzuki had seen this about four times during his 26 years as an angel. He had never wanted that to happen to him so he had been extra careful around things that involved earth. Listening to Watari's stories had been ok, but other stuff he avoided… except the walking through the gate thing… that was soooo stupid of him.

`And now I am on earth, TALKING to a human! I m so gonna get punished for this and the fact that I left the heavens in the first place! Tatsumi is going to have my wings for this!'

"What's the matter… hm…? I never got your name, angel" the man spoke as he got closer to Tsuzuki.

Tsuzuki was debating if he should tell the stranger his name or not. Deciding that his punishment couldn't get any worse then it already was, he opened his mouth. "Tsuzuki. My name is Tsuzuki" he spoke, no higher then a whisper. He was so scared that his voice shook as much as his body already did. Honestly he didn't know if it was the man or the thought of Tatsumi's punishment that scared him.

The man chuckled at the trembling answer he got from the drenched angel before his feet. He smiled as he offered his hand to the sitting Tsuzuki. "Muraki Kazutaka"

Tsuzuki looked at the hand that Muraki offered him. With a lot of hesitation he took the offered hand. He was amazed over the power of the silver haired man as he was pulled to his feet with one pull. His legs trembled and he wondered how long he had been on the ground before he awoke on earth. "Thank you, Mr Kazutaka" he said with a bow. He blushed as Muraki's fingers were placed under his chin and lifted it up to look Muraki in the eyes.

Muraki was stunned by the softness of the chocolate haired angel's skin. He had touched many people in his life, but none has been as soft as Tsuzuki. Muraki placed a palm over Tsuzuki's cheek and gazed into the amethyst eyes. He truly loved the colour of them. "Please, call me Muraki. You must be cold. Even an angel can get ill by staying out in the rain" he said sweetly, his eyes never leaving the pair before him.

Tsuzuki was chocked at the sudden movement. He had never been touched like that. Muraki's palm felt warm against his frozen skin. He hugged himself tightly. "I don't know where I can find shelter. I have never been here before…"

"What happened, Tsuzuki-san?

"Hu?"

"What happened that made you end up here on earth, Tsuzuki-san?" Muraki repeated.

Tsuzuki closed his eyes. He shouldn't tell Muraki more about the world beyond this one. Muraki had nothing to do with it. *Never tell a human about heaven, Tsuzuki. Many would kill themselves to see if what you told them was true or not*. He remembered that lesson that Tatsumi had taught him when he was about six years old. Sighing he opened his eyes again and looked into the grey orb that visible.

"I can't tell you that, Muraki. It's between me and the one that sent me here"

"It's understandable. I can offer you shelter if that's what you seek" Muraki said and stepped closer to Tsuzuki. He noticed that the amethyst eyed angel backed when he got to close, but soon he had backed Tsuzuki against the brick wall once again. "Am I frightening you, Tsuzuki-san?" he asked as he leaned closer to the trapped angel.

Tsuzuki didn't like they way that Muraki was advancing upon him, not at all. Not even Watari had been this much in his personal space before, so he found Muraki's advance very unsettling. He placed his hands on Muraki's chest and pushed him back a bit to gain more room to breath fresher air that he didn't have to chare with Muraki. "I thank you for your offer, Muraki, but I can't accept it"

Muraki chuckled and leaned closer despite Tsuzuki's hands that were pushing him back. He leaned close to Tsuzuki's left ear (A/N I noticed in the series that Muraki always went for the left side of Tsuzuki's neck when he molested him =) ) and smiled. He pushed Tsuzuki hard against the brick wall and his lager body easily overpowered the angel's struggles for freedom. The white clad human breathed in the sweet scent that was Tsuzuki. "I must confess something to you, Tsuzuki-san"

Tsuzuki stilled when Muraki spoke. He was to cold and tired to fight much more at the time, so he concentrated on saving his powers until it was really necessary. He turned his face away from the metallic tuff of hair that was tickling his nose.

Muraki ran a hand through the chocolate coloured hair and closed his eyes. "You aren't the first angel I have met, Tsuzuki-san" he whispered to the trapped angel. He nuzzled the neck under his lips as he continued. "I have met other not unlike you, but they did lack your beauty. They were as scared and confused as you are now, Tsuzuki-san. I didn't though offer them shelter…"

Tsuzuki couldn't believe what he was hearing. Muraki had met other angels?! "What happened to them? I have never heard of missing angel…"

"That's because they were of no value for the high ones. They strayed from the heavens because they couldn't bear with being dead. I m always looking for them, helping them…"

Tsuzuki roared and used the strength he had gathered to push Muraki from him. He held the man by the shoulders as he looked into the grey orb of Muraki's eye. "What do you mean `helped'? You said that you didn't offer them shelter, then what did you do….?!"

Tsuzuki stared in horror as a light breeze passed by them. The wind had ruffled Muraki's hair and made his right eye, the one that had been hidden before, visible. The eye behind the forelocks scared Tsuzuki to the core. The eye wasn't like Muraki's left one. This one was icy blue and the angel felt the evil that it contained. The eye wasn't human, no… it was demonic.

Muraki had noticed Tsuzuki's discovery. He smiled as he leaned close again to the angel and rested his forehead to Tsuzuki's. The demonic eye shone a hit as he grinned. "I offered them another type of death… one that you don't awaken as an angel from. They tried to escape, but by the time they had understood my intentions, I had already taken much of their life-force. I took it all and watched as the bodies burned to dust in my arms" He chuckled as Tsuzuki started to struggle even harder to get free. "I won't kill you, Tsuzuki-san. I m going to keep you as my own… you don't know how to survive on earth so in the end you must rely on me"

Tsuzuki groaned as his knees gave out from beneath him and he slumped in Muraki's arms. "Wha…?"

"Ever sense I touched you I have taken bit after bit of your life-force. I promise you that you'll awaken again, Tsuzuki-san, so sleep… let the darkness take you for now…"

Tsuzuki tried to stay awake, he really did… but in the end he lost the energy to fight the sleep that overcame him.
