The Forbidden

Chapter Two

 

She had a hard time believing that Mia, one of her closest friends had just pushed her to what could have been her death. She wondered, was she dead? Her question was answered when she became conscious. Hina was lying on her living room floor. Her head was throbbing and her vision was blurry. But she could still make out two silhouettes standing in front of the window. One was tall and lean while the other she recognized as Mia. The tall figure was strangling Mia by the caller.

Hina shot up shot up from where she had been laying and groaned at the sudden rush of pain to her head. The two looked at her and Mia cursed about her being like a cockroach. The tall figure let out a relieved sigh and slugged Mia in the gut making her gasp and then pass out. The mysterious figure let Mia fall gracelessly to the floor with a thud and then cautiously stalked to where Hina was sitting up still grasping her head.

She jumped when she realized that the figure was right in front of her with its hand on her knee. It was a man. He had long black hair with a patch of red a bit above his left ear. His eyes were harder for her to make out, but from what she could see in the unlit room, they looked a bright gray. His gentle face and eyes were full of concern.

“Who are you and what just happened?” Hina asked with a shaky voice. The man sighed at this, stood up, and then started to pace the room, pondering. Making Hina tense when he stopped and sighed again.

“My name is Kakos. Why I am here is unimportant, think of me as somewhat as a guardian to you and your mate. Mia here is one of my enemies. While I am here to protect you, she is here for just the opposite.” He nodded his head in Mia's direction; she was still out cold.

“Why?” Was all she could muster to ask.

“Your children.” Hina went wide-eyed at his response and then put her hand on her stomach.

“Don't worry they're fine.” He smiled kindly.

“They?” Hina gasped.

“Twins.” His smile brightened and a look of congratulations shone on his face. It was then that she got a good look at his eyes, and realized he was blind. They were unfocused and yet he was looking at her. He seemed to notice this and stood up, uncomfortable with her sympathy.

“Why did she want to kill me and my children?” She asked now realizing she and her babies were in danger. Kakos paused for a moment then answered,

“Hiei, your mate, is a vary special being, he doesn't know it himself, but he is. His children will be of rare bloodline just as he. Some, as you have seen, don't want them to be born. They were once of that same bloodline but have become impure through bloodlust and hate. Your kind and a few others also have the same bloodline and have not crossed that path.” He explained.

“We have the same bloodline, your talking about that legend, aren't you? The one about the angels falling from heaven.” She exclaimed.

“Not `legend' lady Hina, history. It is true that you are descended from angels, but your line was not of the Fallen. Your line was of the Cursed, angels stripped of their wings and power. Your mate however is not. He descends directly from the Fallen. When your two lines separated after the fall they never met again, till now.” He paused as Hina took this all in. He knew it didn't matter what she caught onto or not, he had already said too much, he would have to take the memory away anyway.

“So are you one of the Fallen or the Cursed?” the question caught him off guard.

“Neither, I am one of three unique guardians.” He stated not sure on how to answer.

“So you're an angel? Our guardian angel.” He couldn't take it any more, if she said any more he would not have the will to take her memory. So he kneeled in front of her and placed his hand on her forehead.

“I am honored, to watch over those with beautiful hearts.” With that Hina saw a flash of white light. But before she lost consciousness she smiled and said,

“Thank you.” Kakos smiled as well. The Koorime were a paranoid bunch, but this woman before him was so much more. She had opened her mind and heart to change; she was a free spirit.

“Kakos!” It was Mia she had become conscious.

“Your kind is full of shit. You only tell them one side, and never explain why it is we were banished in the first place. You and the Ascended are all the same, only say what comes to convenience you.” She panted as she stood up grasping her stomach where he had struck her. Kakos bowed his head depression radiating off of him. He had learnt something right now he wished he had not. So before soaking in the knowledge he quickly teleported behind Mia and put one hand against her forehead and the other on her chin.

“You are incorrect we angels have overthrown the Ascended, but not before you Raven had been consumed by a evil that stains your soul. But that does not give me the right for what I'm about to do. Forgive me.” Then he snapped her neck. The corps went limp and he lifted it, and with some unknown power the body began to dissipate.

Today he had saved one waiting mother, but had slain another.
