Chapter twenty: No time

Xxxx

The mountain looked so close but yet so far away. Tsuzuki sighed before turning to look at the sleeping boy. The training had been hard on the teen and now he slept peacefully. Tsuzuki kneeled down beside Hijiri.

He ran a hand through the black mop of hair and smiled as the boy mumbled something before sighing. `Hijiri looks so alike Hisoka. The same hair style, eyes, skin… but Hijiri is not Hisoka. Hijiri is my friend and I know he wants to help me battle the devil for Muraki's sake… but I just can't let him die like Hisoka' Tsuzuki sighed. He stood up and looked at the mountain.

`Tohda is so close but there is no time left. The longer I stay here the stronger the devil gets. If I want to defeat him I must go now while I still have the chance' He looked down at the sleeping teen again. "I m sorry, Hijiri, but I must go. I'll fight the devil for you and I promise you that I'll get revenge for all the ones he have killed" he whispered before closing his eyes.

The white wings rose into the air as the amethyst eyed angel was surrounded by a white light.

Hijiri opened his eyes just as Tsuzuki vanished before them. "Tsuzuki?" he asked but got no reply.

"TSUZUKI!!"

Tatsumi lifted an eyebrow. He looked at the blond scientist that were sitting before him with his hands in his lap. "What did you just ask, Watari?" he asked. He had heard him but just wanted to be sure.

Watari tilted his head. "I asked if I can have a future with you?" he said and stood up. He looked down at the floor and blushed a little. His grey wings twitched a little as he sighed. "I know that you are busy and don't have the time to love me but I just…"

Tatsumi strode forward and embraced the blond. His white wings warped around them, hiding them from the world outside. He lifted Watari's face to face him and smiled tenderly at him. "I m never to busy to love you, Watari. I have loved you ever since you walked through the gates. I want to spend my future with you if you'll have me"

Watari blushed harder and looked Tatsumi in the eyes. "Tatsumi…" he whispered before kissing the brown haired angel. He closed his eyes and melted into the kiss. He lifted his hands and placed them on ether cheek of Tatsumi's face to deepen the kiss before withdrawing. "I love you, Tatsumi"

Tatsumi hugged Watari hard against him. "I love you to, Watari-chan" he whispered into the blond's neck.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before Tatsumi pulled away. "We are so late for that meeting..." he sighed. Taking Watari's hand he led him out from the house. "Let's go, love"

Watari nodded and squeezed Tatsumi's hand. "You're right. Let's go. If there is anything the high angels can do for Tsuzuki and Hijiri, I'll gladly talk to them"

The thunder boomed outside the abandoned building as Tsuzuki walked along the path that led to it. The rain fell heavily on him but he ignored the cold water, his amethyst eyes fixed on the building. `I m coming for you, can you feel it? Prepare yourself to go back into the dark corner you once came from'

`We'll see about that, my little angel…. We'll see about that…'

The devil smiled as he felt Tsuzuki coming closer. Turning to face behind him he lifted one clawed hand. "Rise my warriors. The time is here" he called into the black area.

Three pairs of eyes opened to look at their lord.

"We are ready, master" came a voice from a pair of sky blue eyes.

"We'll kill him and give you his soul, master" said the one with a pair of emerald eyes.

"We won't let you down, master" the final person with a grey and blue eye.

The devil laughed and the Slowaks joined him. "Prepare the battle ground! It is time!!"

"Tsuzuki!! Where did you go?!" called Hijiri. He had been scared when Tsuzuki hadn't come back after a few minutes. "Why did he leave me here for? I though we were heading for the mountain…" he sighed as he realized that Tsuzuki wasn't coming back to get him.

`He probably left me behind so that I wouldn't get hurt. That is so typical of Tsuzuki. Well, I m not going to go back to the village, not now! There is something I can do for Tsuzuki here I just know it!' he thought and looked around. His emerald eyes fell on the mountain and stayed there. "Tohda. Tsuzuki said that the lord of all gods lived in the mountains and if he is truly the strongest of them all he must help Tsuzuki" he said to himself. `I m not strong enough to do this… NO! I got to think that I can do it! Tsuzuki would smack me if I didn't!'

Spreading his wings, feeling the hurt wing protest a little, he pushed himself of the ground and into the air. The wind tried to bring him down as if it said that he shouldn't go to the mountains, but Hijiri ignored the wind and continued upwards. `Hold out until I get to Tohda, Tsuzuki! I won't let you down!'

Tsuzuki wasn't surprised when the door swung open for him as he got close to the building. He didn't look at the Slowaks that held the mighty door open for him. He stepped into the darkness and the doors were closed behind him. His amethyst eyes scanned the area, looking for his rival. "Where are you?! Don't tell me that you are afraid of me!" he shouted, his voice echoing back at him.

A deep chuckle rumbled through the large dark room, sounding like it came from everywhere. "I m not hiding, angel. I m right here"

Tsuzuki covered his eyes as the room lit up. He blinked a few times so that his eyes could adjust to the sudden light. He lowered his arms and looked across the room. he growled as he spotted the devil.

The dark lord grinned at the growling angel. He was sitting in a massive throne that were placed against the far wall. Before him stood the Slowaks. "Are you angry, Tsuzuki-san? Do you want to attack me, tear me to shreds before sending me back into hell?" he asked from his place on the throne.

The Slowaks giggled madly as they started to spread out into the room, surrounding the angry angel. They started to chant in their dark language while the devil opened a book and started to read.

Tsuzuki prepared himself for an attack but instead he felt something tug at his mind. He shook his head to clear it but the feeling only got stronger and stronger until it started to hurt. He clutched his head and fell to the floor. "Weakling! You are a coward to attack me like this!" he yelled, his voice barely heard over the chanting.

The devil finished his reading and closed the book. "This is no attack, Tsuzuki. I m only preparing the battle ground. This is an attack! Nedoenso!" he called.

Tsuzuki opened one eye through the pain. His vision was blurred but all of a sudden the pain lessened. He lowered his hands and opened both eyes. The first thing he saw was a pair of legs. He let his gaze wander upwards and soon saw the face of the person before him. He gasped and jerked backwards, his amethyst eyes growing wide. "H-H---Hisoka!!"

The devil roared in laughter at Tsuzuki's discovery. "Yes, your own lover! Let's see if you got the courage to destroy the ones you love o get to me!"

Hijiri gasped as he slammed into a cliff. The wind was picking u and it got harder and harder to fly. He slid down and sat on the ground to gather his strength. `I can't fly while the wind is against me. I got to climb the rest of the way' he thought and looked up to the top. It was a long way up he noted. Standing up on shaky legs he moved over to rock wall before him. "I m not giving up!"

"So you say that one of our angels has gone down to earth to fight the devil?" one of the high angels asked.

Tatsumi and Watari stood before the huge table with their heads bowed in respect. "That is true, highness. Tsuzuki, the gate keeper, has left the heavens to bring the devil back to his prison in hell" Tatsumi said. Behind his back he held one of Watari's hands in his.

A second high angel frowned at the two. "And you did nothing to stop him, Tatsumi? I thought you cared about your workers"

Tatsumi swallowed a small bit of guilt. "That is true, I care about my workers and that is why I let him go. He wanted revenge for his lover and he wanted the devil to stop hurting more people. When the devil kills the souls don't…"

"Don't end up in heaven, we know that, Tatsumi. Even though his intentions are good he has broken the law by going to earth. When he comes back, if he does, his wings will be taken and he'll be sent to work in the temple" the third high angels said. The other agreed with him. The ones that worked in the temple were often those who couldn't behave in heaven. Their job were to keep the temple clean and the temple was so big that when they had cleaned it the beginning would become dirty again. It was a never ending process.

Watari frowned and suddenly straightened up. "If Tsuzuki don't win this battle, the gates will never e opened again! Think about it! If the devil kills everyone there will be no soul that can walk through the gate! Tsuzuki is fighting for us and all you do is sit here on you lazy butts and do nothing to help!" he snapped.

The high ones frowned at the angel. "Watari, you will show us respect when you speak before us!" they boomed at the angry blond angel.

Watari shook his head and swatted Tatsumi's hand of his shoulder. "No! I won't! Wasn't it you who said that all angels are equal? That no one is less worth even if some has black wings and other white? Why should I show you respect when you show none for me?! I m sick of being here, I m going to help Tsuzuki!" he snapped and turned sharply on his heel.

"If you leave this temple, Watari, you will chare Tsuzuki's punishment!"

Watari just sorted. "Then punish me when I return" he said and turned to Tatsumi. "Will you come?" he asked.

Tatsumi looked from the high ones to Watari then back. He wanted to go with the blond but fared the punishment. He looked into Watari's golden eyes and made his decision. "I'll go with you"

The high angel that sat in the middle of the huge table stood up. "Tatsumi! Are you saying that you are risking your post to help the ones that breaks the laws we have made?" He asked.

Tatsumi took Watari's hand and smiled. "That is correct. What Watari just said was true. You believe that all angels are equal but still think that you are above all others" he said and led Watari from the temple.

Watari looked at Tatsumi as they walked forwards the gate. "Do you really want to help me? I mean, it is not to late to change your mind"

Tatsumi shook his head. "No, Watari-chan. I made my choice and am not going to turn back now. I want to help you and Tsuzuki" he said and stopped to hug the blond. "I m not going to loose you when I finally have you, love"

Watari hugged the blue eyed angel back and sighed. "I love you so much… Tatsumi"
