Yami No Matsuei Fan Fiction ❯ Did it hurt when you fell from the heavens? ❯ Why did you lie to me? ( Chapter 12 )

Hi and sorry for a late update, but I had to finish some other chapters… gomen…

SapphireDragon: many questions there but you'll get your answers! Promise!

Did it hurt when you fell from the heavens?

Chapter twelve: Why did you lie to me?

Tatsumi stared at the blond. He had never in his life heard Watari so angry. Not at him at least. He slowly approached the other angel, who backed away from him as he approached. "What do you mean? Of course we are friends, Watari-kun…"

"Shut up! Don't lie to me!" Watari snapped and slammed the file he had hold the entire time on Tatsumi's desk. His golden eyes burned with anger as he stomped up to the head angel. "I read the file you hid in your drawer. The one about the missing angels over the last couple of years. I read about Shiro…" he growled and wiped his eyes.

Tatsumi sank down in his chair and sighed loudly. "Oh my… you weren't supposed to know about that file. How did you find it?" he asked and rubbed his temples.

"That has nothing to do with the fact that you knew what happened to my lover! You knew that he went to earth! You knew it and didn't tell me but wrote it down in a file that you have kept hidden from view for years! Don't you have a heart?!" he snapped loudly and soon panted in pure fury. "I bet that Tsuzuki is on earth and that you know it, but as soon as I leave you'll write his name in the file and forget about him! But guess what, Tatsumi. I ain't letting Tsuzuki get hurt!" he finished and turned to leave. His wings puffed up twice their size as he heard Tatsumi's voice call him.

"Watari! Wait! I can explain!"

Watari gazed over his shoulder at Tatsumi, who had a hand reached out after him. "Save it for someone who trust you, because that isn't me"

Hisoka backed from Tsuzuki until he reached the end of the bed and fell over the edge of it. Lying sprawled on the cold floor, in nothing but his birthday suit, his green eyes stared at the winged man before him. "T-T-Tsuzuki…. What….?"

Tsuzuki didn't listen to the question as he panted to get rid of the burning pain. He fell down on the sheets as he couldn't keep his own weight up any longer. "Ow, ow… What was that?" he asked himself, not knowing that his wings had grown back.

Hisoka scrambled into a sitting position. "You got wings, that's what! What the hell is this?!" he asked, his body shaking in fright. "What is this, Tsuzuki?`" he whispered.

The amethyst eyed angel looked at the shaking boy as the news sank in. he had gotten his wings back? But, hadn't Muraki cut them of? Looking over his shoulder, he saw the blood smeared white wings. Sighing he turned back to Hisoka. "I must tell you something, Hisoka"

"You better. Why didn't you tell me that you are a monster?" Hisoka snapped and grabbed a blanket and warped it around his waist.

Tsuzuki sat up and just started at Hisoka. `Monster? Did Hisoka call me a monster?' "Listen to me. This is going to be a long story" Tsuzuki said and took the bloody sheets and started to wipe his wings of with it. The sheet was ruined already.

Hisoka sat down on the bed, holding his distains from the `monster'. "Let's hear it"

Tsuzuki threw the sheet to the floor and began. "First of, my name is Tsuzuki and I m an angel. I work as the gate keeper in the heavens, but a few days ago…"

****

"Hmm?"

Muraki put the wine glass on the table. A few seconds ago he had felt a tingle up his spine, like someone suddenly had regained power that he had taken… Grey eyes narrowed as he figured out who it was. "Tsuzuki-san. So, you have regained your powers… it will be most entertaining to se how you'll handle me ripping it from you again" he said to himself.

Finishing the wine he rose and collected his long white coat. Putting it on, he gathered his servants and left the mansion. The ends of his coat danced with the wind as he and the Slowaks walked forwards the old house where they would collect their prisoners.

The Slowaks blended perfectly with the darkness, so when people looked at the streets below their window, all they saw was an angelic looking man dressed in white walking down the street.

Tatsumi ran as fast as he could to Watari's house. He just knew that the blond angel was in trouble. `Why was I so stupid? Hiding the truth from him? How will I now confess my feelings for him without being grilled by his hatred?' he thought as he banged on Watari's door. "Watari? Open up!" he begged. "I need to speak with you!"

"Looking for Watari, Tatsumi sir?" asked a bypassing angel.

Tatsumi turned to look at the newcomer. The angel was not very old, around 15 or 16 years old. He had black hair and big green eyes. He had dark grey wing that showed that he had been in the heavens for some time. Tatsumi let his hand drop as he studied the smaller angel. "Who are you?" he asked.

The boy smiled and reached out to Tatsumi with one hand. "My name is Minase Hijiri. Just call me Hijiri. Were you looking for Watari?" Hijiri asked, tilting his head to the side.

Tatsumi shook the offered hand and nodded. "As a matter of fact, I do. Have you seen him?"

Hijiri nodded and pointed to the huge gates that were visible over the rooftops. "He said something about going to earth. I think he said that he was looking for someone and had a plan to find him"

Tatsumi was horrified. Watari had left to earth?!

****

Watari jumped as the huge gates closed behind him. He didn't even bother to look behind him as pinched his nose. A disgusting smell passed him and he just wanted to throw up as he inhaled it. "Blach… what is that awful smell?" he asked himself and waved a hand in front of his face to gain some fresh air.

"Do you have a problem with my domains, angel? You did after all come here on your own free will"

Watari dropped his hands and turned to face the biggest dog of his life. After coming over the shock, he fixed his glasses and looked closer at the beast. "You are Banok the soul guider. This is very interesting. I didn't know you existed"

Banok looked stunned as Watari poked him on the front leg. "Aren't you scared? I could devour you in a few seconds" he boomed and leaned close to the blond angel so that he was nose to nose with Watari.

Watari shook his head and poked at the sharp teeth. "Na. you are just interesting that's all. From what I have read you have made a pact with the head angels, correct?" he asked. When he didn't get an answer he continued. "Over the many years you have been a soul guider, you have never eaten an angel. If I can be honest, you are just a big puppy"

Banok rose on his hind legs and roared before falling back on all four with earth shaking force. "PUPPY?! You dare to compare me with a animal that isn't capable of holding himself dry?! I should kill you for that statement! But I won't" Banok said. The gigantic demon sat down in front of Watari and his eyes started to glow. "Tell me the reason why you passed those gates"

Watari straightened his back. "I m looking for my friend. Tsuzuki, have you seen him?"

Banok thought and nodded once. "I sent him to earth after he walked through those gates. He will remain there until he can find the meaning of life"

"Meaning of life? That's impossible to tell! There are millions of reasons to live! Now listen here, pup, and listen well. Send me to earth and leave the portal open until me and my friend can pass through and go back to the heavens"

"Why should I do that? I can send you to earth and make sure you'll stay there"

Watari waved of the comment. "Been there, died of boredom. If you don't keep the portal open, I'll make sure that Tatsumi and the head angels get to know about the missing souls" Watari threatened.

Banok perked his ears up. "How do you know about the souls?"

Watari smiled and pointed a thumb at himself. "I m a gate keeper as Tsuzuki. I have noticed that many of the sinners haven't shown up at the gate. Even though they have sinned, they are supposed to be judged by the head angels before being sent to you. I bet they will be so angry of hearing this news. `Banok eats the souls before they can be judged'"

Banok growled loudly and then snorted. "You win. I'll keep the portal open, but you'll only get ten minutes"

Watari nodded. "Do it"

"… then Muraki left me lying there and I managed to escape. After that, I met you. That's the story" Tsuzuki ended his story, not looking at Hisoka.

Hisoka sat silent. His eyes were glossy from being open for so long. Tsuzuki had stopped his story long enough for both of them to get dressed. He gave the amethyst eyed man a hard look as a tear slipped down from his right eye. "Why did you lie to me?"

Tsuzuki shook his head. "I never lied to you. You never asked me if I was an angel. Besides, Muraki cut my wings off and told me that they would never grow back. I m never going back to the heavens so I thought that I could start a new life with you"

"That doesn't give you the right to not tell me about your… your… other life! I trusted you! I gave my body to you! You could have told me!"

"Would you have believed me?" Tsuzuki asked calmy.

Hisoka tried to come up with another argument, but he was to angry to find one. "I-I can't stay here!" Hisoka snapped and went to the door that led out from the bedroom.

Tsuzuki stood up and held out a hand forwards the retreating teen. "Where are you going, Hisoka?"

"Out" came the short answer and Hisoka left the building.

Tsuzuki let his hand drop. "Hisoka…" he whispered to the empty room. Tears ran freely down his face and he dropped back on the bed and buried his face in his hands. He cried for what seemed like hours.

"You know… he looks a lot like Shiro, that boy Hisoka"

Tsuzuki snapped his head up as he heard the new voice. He turned to his side and spotted… "Watari?!"

The blond smiled and drew his friend into a hard embrace. They stood there for a minute before Watari released him and grabbed his hand. "Come on, Tsuzuki! We only got a few minutes before the portal closes!" Watari urged and tugged Tsuzuki forwards the glowing orb in the corner of the room.

Tsuzuki was about to protest but the protest never made it past his lips. `Hisoka doesn't want to see me anymore. Maybe he'll be better of without me. I know I promised him that I would help him with Muraki, but now…' he thought. He let Watari lead him to the portal, but just as he stepped in, he heard a familiar voice scream his name.

"TSUZUKI!!"

`Hisoka!"

****

Hisoka stomped down the hall, heading to the door. He needed to think, he needed to get from the house. He sat down on the floor and pulled on his shoes. He then stood up on shaky legs, the dull stiffness from earlier catching up on him. `I gave him my body, and he betrayed me! He is a scum, a bastard a… a…. no. He isn't a liar. He told me the truth. I never asked him about his past. It's not his fault. I must go and talk to him' Hisoka thought. He opened his eyes, knowing what he should do. But his emerald fell on something, or rather someone that he hadn't expected.

Muraki.

"Hello, my doll" the false angel said and reached out after him.

"TSUZUKI!!"

****

He he he… I m evil!! R&R
