Part 16

Look into those eyes... they show you evil

The Cherubs followed Kamijo through the holy halls with spears in their hands. Lucifer, Sugizo's arriving caused quite a stir among the higher-ranked Angels. Fact was that the fallen Angel visited for the first time after he was cast out of heaven. Kamijo could only guess what his arriving was all about.

„How far has he come?" Kamijo wanted to know.

"He's still in front of the borders and hasn't tried to enter yet."

"Good. We'll meet him there. Get Ruki!"

"Yes!" Some of the Cherubs left and Kamijo turned into the meeting hall of the Archangels.

"KAMIII!"

The Archangel of water was within reach immediatel. "We're here." Behind Kami were hide, Kyo and Mana. "What about the Seraphim?"

"We won't endanger them. Not yet." Fact was that the Seraphim were the holiest Angels because of their talents and honestly, they were no fighting Angels. So Kamijo rather kept them out of it. "Let's go." Kamijo said and the Archangels followed.

They crossed the long marble hall down to the portals where the Cherubim stood behind the boarders with their spears. It was an unbelieveable sight to see, a hundred of armed Angel soldiers ready to attack any time necessary. Heaven's force could be as merciless as hell in case of war.

Kamijo stepped through the crowd of soldiers and showed himself in front of the large portals of heaven. The Portals opened and in between the sphere of heaven and transition, stood the Master of Darkness, Sugizo. He earned himself quite a title since he started 'working' for the other side. Sugizo was the third most important member of hell, standing in direct command underneath the devil's son Kirito. But Kirito wasn't present, seemed like Sugizo did the dirty work.

Among the Cherubim were Die and Hizumi. Die froze by the sight of Sugizo, so it was really the Angel he saw on earth. His former Guardian Angel really became a Demon.

But Sugizo wasn't alone. Two higher-ranked Demons accompanied him. And all three of them didn't look very happy. With a stern glare, Sugizo looked back at Kamijo and Metatron asked him:

"What do you want?" Kamijo asked coldly and held his arms crossed over his chest.

Sugizo smirked. "You're acting so cold, Kamijo. Unbelievable we worked together once..."

"Once." Kamijo added dryly. Tension filled the air.

"I want to have a word with you in private."

"Why?"

"It's about the prophecy."

Lucifer couldn't have been more open. Kamijo narrowed his eyes and motioned the Cherubim to take down their weapons. "Truce during your stay if you and your friends guarantee the same."

"Of course." A cold smile crept over Sugizo's lips and the portals opened.

Hizumi didn't like it and neither did Die. It was the unreadable glare in Sugizo's and his friend's eyes. The Cherubim looked at each other, giving a silent agreement to observe the Demons closer than necessary. Among the Cherubim, invisible for all the other Angels and Demons, was the secret weapon of heaven. The so called 'Demon Angels' observed the ongoings too and scanned the Demons as good as possible.
