Tsuzuki dodged to the right as Hisoka tried to strike him. He then ducked to avoid Muraki's fist as it tried to hit his face. “This is unfair! It's two against one!” he cried when Hisoka slammed his elbow into his back as he ducked. Tsuzuki gasped and slammed against the floor. He looked up and rolled to his side before the youth could slam his heel onto his head.

 

The devil smirked as he watched his toys beat the poor angel. His eyes moved for a second to the floor they were fighting on. His eyes gleamed when he saw the symbols that had been invisible before start to glow softly. `Only a few minutes more before my portal opens. I will enjoy seeing this world become dark and filled with death'

 

Tsuzuki was trying his best to find a way to stop Hisoka and Muraki without hurting them. Even if they were created by the devil he didn't want hurt them. What if their souls could be saved? He cried out when Muraki slammed into him, slamming him into the wall with such force that he lost his breath and fell to the floor. He looked up and saw the two `dolls' approach him.

 

Hisoka smirked when he saw the angel on the floor. “Looks like you hurt him. Are you in pain, Tsuzuki? I hope you are” he said and reached out and fisted a hand in the soft chocolate colored hair. “Maybe you now know how I felt when I took that blast for you”

 

Muraki smirked and pushed his glasses higher on his nose. “Maybe we should cut his wings of? I didn't it once and it seemed to hurt a lot then”

 

Hisoka frowned. “Why cut them of when we can rip them of? Feather,” he plucked one white feather from Tsuzuki's wing, “by feather”

 

Tsuzuki cried out when Hisoka plucked the feather. It hurt but not as much as his heart did at the moment. How could innocent Hisoka become so cruel? What happened to the boy that saved him when he was Muraki's prisoner? He grasped the wrist in his hair and looked into the emerald eyes of his lover. “Hisoka, please… don't give up to the devil” he whispered.

 

Hisoka blinked. Those pleading amethyst eyes… there was something in them that made him hesitate a little before he shook his head and plucked another feather. “Your Hisoka died when he killed himself for you” he smiled.

 

The devil laughed when he saw the two torment the angel. This was really entertaining. His laughter stopped suddenly when he heard Muraki cry out in shock. He looked to his silver haired doll and saw that the shadows before the doctor rippled slightly before shooting up and forcing the two away from Tsuzuki. “What in the?!” he asked and stood from his throne.

 

Tsuzuki watched the shadows that protected him. They curled up into a ball before falling to the floor like they were made of black water before returning into shadows they once were. He smiled when he saw the two familiar faces before him. “Tatsumi… Watari… you are here…”

Hijiri ducked behind a large boulder as Tohda's tail tried to smack him into the wall. Hijiri was tired and out of breath. Running from the king of the gods was not something he did everyday. He yelped as the tail smashed the rock he was hiding behind and dashed across the room in search of new shelter. He had to dodge the tail that was trying to whip him before it managed to slam into him, throwing him into the wall. He slid behind a boulder and used it as shelter as Tohda hovered above him.

 

`I can't run forever! I must fight him to get him to help Tsuzuki! How can I attack a huge snake without getting hurt in the process? I can do this, there got to be a way!' He looked down to his wrist and saw the bracelets. “Maybe…” he whispered and looked up at the huge body in the ceiling. “All I need is a few minutes…”

 

Tohda looked down at the small angel. How foolish of his to enter his domain when all he did was running. With a roar he dashed against the rock, wanting to finish this once and for all. He frowned when something started to shine behind the boulder. He didn't stop as the angle jumped out from his hiding place. `GAAHH!!' he exclaimed and reared back as he was hit between the eyes with a powerful blast. The blast scraped his helmet open before hitting the wall behind him. He shook his head, his mane whipping around him before opening his eyes. `WHAT DID YOU DO, ANGEL?' he asked, sounding a bit shocked.

 

Hijiri panted and held his hands before him. He wiped his face in his shoulder and smiled. He was so proud of himself. “That was a Konki shotto. Tsuzuki taught me how to do it with the help of the bracelets that Byakko gave us. Can you believe that I just learnt how to do this?” he asked the king. He could feel his knees tremble since he had used most of his powers in that one blast. `I can barely stand up'

 

Tohda didn't say a word for a few minutes. `HOW CAN AN ANGEL SUCH AS YOU PERFORM SUCH A POWERFUL ATTACK THAT CAN HURT ME? NO ONE HAS DONE THAT BEFORE'

 

Hijiri looked at the king. “I put all my anger and hope into one single shot. Anger for what the devil did to my life and hope that i'll help Tsuzuki to beat him. I didn't think it would hurt you and I'm sorry if it did but I'll do anything to help Tsuzuki” he said and felt his legs give away. His eyes closed as his breath left him. He was so tired. He prepared for a hard impact but was surprised when something moved quickly under him and held him up. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Tohda that had caught him with his own head.

 

Tohda looked into the emerald eyes above him. `WHEN I WAS CREATED I VOWED TO HELP ANYONE THAT MANAGED TO DEFEAT ME. I WILL KEEP MY PROMISE AND HELP YOU, LITTLE ANGEL' his voice rumbled.

 

Hijiri could feel his eyelids getting heavier. “But I didn't defeat you… I only hurt you a little…” he said as darkness started to surround his vision.

 

Tohda moved the almost limp body up on his head and raised himself to the ceiling of his temple. The roof opened up to reveal the blue sky. `AS I TOLD YOU, NO ONE HAS EVER MANAGED TO HURT ME IN ANYWAY. YOU ARE THE FIRST TO DENT MY ARMOR, THERE FOR YOU DEFEATED ME. REST ANGEL, I'LL TAKE US TO WHERE YOUR FRIEND IS' Tohda said and soared through the opening in the roof.

 

Hijiri wanted to stay awake, but his tired body shut down on him. `Muraki…. For you…'

Tatsumi glared at the devil before bringing his hand up. He didn't need to look to know that the shadows were holding Hisoka and Muraki against the wall. “I see that we made it just in time” he commented as he saw the portal on the ground.

 

Watari rushed over to Tsuzuki and helped him stand up. “Are you ok, Tsuzuki?” he asked.

 

Tsuzuki drew a deep breath and smiled. “I'm ok. Let's finish this” he said and straightened his back. Brining his hands together he concentrated. “The god with claws sharp as the wind, appeared before me and help me defeat him! Byakko!!” he called. A blue swirl surrounded the amethyst eyed angel and the winds started to rip at his cloths.

 

With a mighty roar Byakko leaped out from the thin air and landed before Tsuzuki. His red eyes glowed as he raised his head and roared again, making the walls of the building shake.

 

Watari landed on his butt in shock. “He made it! He actually made it, Tatsumi! He got Byakko!” he exclaimed and clapped his hands. “Not that I ever doubted him, but this is really good!” he called to his lover over the loud noise.

 

Tatsumi nodded. “Yes, it is, but Tsuzuki still has to prove that he can control him! Tsuzuki! You have to take this battle into the underworld! We can't risk a war on earth!!” he shouted to his friend and employee.

 

Tsuzuki nodded once. “I got it! Byakko! Force the devil back into his own domain!!” he called to the wind tiger.

 

Byakko growled and leaped over the portal and aimed for the devil.

 

The devil tried to dodge the fangs that snapped for him, but he was pulled back when Byakko's fangs dug into his arm. “GHAAAA!! Let me go, you filthy beats!” he snapped and slammed a fist into Byakko's head, trying to force him to let go.

 

Byakko grunted as he was smacked, but his fangs dug deeper into the arm in his mouth. With one mighty swing of his head he rotated himself and the devil to face the portal. Digging into the ground with his claws, Byakko leaped into the portal with the devil.

 

Tsuzuki watched as the wind god vanished into the portal with the devil. Before he went after them he looked around. `I must take care of the Slowaks. Tatsumi and Watari can watch over Muraki and Hisoka' Brining his hands before his face he linked his fingers togheter and concentrated once more. “With wings of flames and eyes like molten lava, I command you to appear before me! Suzaku!!” he called.

 

The huge fire bird shrieked as she sprung out from a small flame that had formed before Tsuzuki's feet. Spreading her wings she attacked the creatures that tried to hide in the shadows. `Go, I'll take care of them' she told Tsuzuki without looking. `Good luck, angel'

 

“You to, Suzaku. Tatsumi, take care of Hisoka will you?” he asked. He looked down into the black portal where Byakko had disappeared with the devil. “I'm not sure that I'll return, but I will do everything I can to hinder the devil”

 

Tatsumi nodded. “Of course I'll watch over him. Be careful, Tsuzuki” Tatsumi said and turned to Hisoka. “I know that he is precious to you… I will not let you down”

 

Tsuzuki smiled and jumped into the portal. He used his wings to avoid falling to fast. He warped his arms around him when he felt the darkness warp around him. Opening his eyes, he saw nothing but a thick black mist. He narrowed his eyes and saw a small white dot in the mist. “Byakko. Wait for me, I'll be there in a few seconds” he whispered to himself. “Devil, the battle you wanted is here”

Watari rubbed his chin as he looked at Hisoka who was spitting and cursing at them. “I can't believe that this is the same boy that I met the first time I got here. He was so pure and innocent back then” he mumbled.

 

Hisoka tried to break free from the shadows that were holding him. He growled at Watari. “Drop dead angel!” he snapped.

 

Watari rubbed his eyebrows. “I already did that. Tatsumi, what shall we do?” he asked his lover.

 

Tatsumi warped an arm around the blond and sighed. “I don't know. It would help if I knew how they were created…”

 

“Why don't you just ask them?”

 

“Who?” Watari asked and looked over his shoulder. He smiled when he saw who it was. “Hijiri! How did you get here?” he asked and hugged the boy.

 

Hijiri smiled back. “Tohda brought me here. He left to gather strength to help Tsuzuki” he said and looked behind Tatsumi. “Muraki?” he asked when he saw his ex-lover. All he could see was a blank look in the grey eyes, not the warm molten silver he was used to. “Is he also `created' by him?” he asked Tatsumi.

 

Tatsumi nodded. “Yes. He is”

 

Hijiri closed his eyes. `Make him pay, Tsuzuki…. Make him pay with as much pain as possible'
