Blessed With A Curse | Mike Kuza Fic

You're In Love With Your Own Skull

Kuza's POV

I erased security camera footage in some gas station in Lawrence, Kansas so there was no record of me being there.

I knew the two guys I was searching for live somewhere in this city, but damned if I can find exactly where.

Then it occurred to me I could check records at their City Hall, so that's just what I went and did.

I found out that they lived at 53 Barker Avenue, so I blinked to their house, half expecting there to be anti-Demon precautions in place.

There were none.

I blinked inside and since it was the middle of the night, lights were off and it seemed people were asleep.

I sat in a chair, grabbing the remote beside me and flicking on the TV, not really paying attention to what was on the screen.

A woman came downstairs after a while, and since my back was to her she must've thought I was her husband, because she said, "I love you honey." and went back upstairs.

A couple minutes later I heard panicked whispers from the stairs, and a light flicked on.

"Hey!" a male voice shouted. I smiled and stood, turning to face him. He had a blade in one hand, which he was holding up towards me.

He was 6'1", short dirty blonde hair, and dark green eyes. He had an anti-possession symbol just below his left collarbone, only visible because he was shirtless.

Another man was behind him, an arm around the shoulders of the woman who had come down.

This man was about 6'4", dark brown hair just past his shoulders, with chocolate brown eyes.

I could only assume these were the two I've been looking for for so long now.

"Relax," I said, "I'm here to make a deal with you." "Yeah well a deal killed my dad, so..." the shorter man's voice trailed off.

"Mom go wait upstairs." the taller one told her. She hurried away as the shorter one lowered his knife.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" he asked in a gruff voice. "I'm Kuza, and I need help finding someone." I answered simply.

"We aren't exactly in the business of helping Demons." The first one laughed harshly.

"And I'm not exactly in the business of helping Mortals, yet I'm willing to try." I snapped.

The taller one raised an eyebrow. "Alright. I'm Rubiel, this is my brother Kalix. Who are you looking for?"

"Annifer. Word has it she's on Earth, but no one knows where." I told him.

"Last I heard she and her mom ganked a bunch of people in Bonner Springs, Arkansas." Kalix said.

"What are you willing to do for us if we help you?" Rubiel questioned. "You guys have been having problems with a rogue Angel right?" I asked.

Kalix nodded, looking bothered by the subject. I took an Angel blade out of my pocket and held it out to him.

"Don't know where the Angel is, but that'll kill him when you find him." I informed the duo.

Rubiel walked over and snatched the blade from my hand, examining it closely. "It's legit." he told Kalix.

"Why do you want to find Annifer?" Kalix asked, giving me a suspicious glare as he eyed me up and down.

"It's a long story, but if I find her, I'm gonna try to get her to come back to Hell. One less Demon for you to worry about." I explained.

Rubiel took Kalix aside, and they mumbled back and forth to each other, looking at me a couple times.
