Life and Death

"Scorpio you better explain yourself!" Virgo yelled as soon as she appeared in front of the dark-haired male with a look of anger on her face. 

A smirk soon tugged at the corner of Scorpio's lips as he watched his opposite complaining non-stop yet again about something that he had apparently done wrong. He watched with mild interest as Virgo searched through her purse that was hung around her shoulder, obviously looking for something. He watched as she soon retracted her hand which held a small white notebook with the word "give" on its cover. He watched as she flipped through the many blank pages, stopping at one with details of a young man. Virgo shoved the little book in front of his face, nearly pushing it up against his nose.

"You killed a man who had eleven more years to live! "

Scorpio hummed in surprise as he watched the page turn blank like the rest of the small notebook. Scorpio then pulled out his black notebook that rested inside his jersey's large pocket. His book was similar to Virgos. The only difference being it was labelled as "take" and black. Scorpio read over his book, he, in fact, did take the life of a man who was meant to live much longer.

"Ahh...wrong person. my bad."

Virgo pulled at her pigtails resulting in her dropping her book that poofed into thin air once it made contact with the ground. Clearly stressed from Scorpios carelessness.

"Miss. Libra can't send that man over to the other side! that's cruel!"

The not so bubbly Life screeched as see watched Scorpio wander off, most likely looking for others to tick off his hit-list.

"Holy shit. What is she going to say?... Scorpio don't you dare ignore me!"

Virgo vanished, soon reappearing in front of Scorpio. She nibbled at her fingers, scared.

"What's the worst she could do? I'm death for fuck sakes!"

Virgo pondered this for a while. What could be worse than death? Maybe being punished for all eternity.

"I don't care, it was your fault, not mine."

"If it was my fault then you have nothing to worry about for I'll get punishment, not you. Plus, Libras never left her office anyways." Scorpio sarcastically replied, laughing at the short female. 

His laughter soon died down as he spotted a female with two-toned hair approaching the duo.  The colour black and white split perfectly in half, a telltale sign telling him of who was approaching. Blood trickled down her nose and her face riddled with little bruises. Pure anger was shining on her face. She was fuming. She pointed an accusing finger at death while shouting at the tall male. It was as if Death had summoned her.

"You, you two asked me to write the lists for you...and this is the thanks I get!" Libra pointed her finger towards herself. Giving attention to the already noticeable purple marks littering her face.

The Dividers words fell on deaf ears as Virgo rushed towards the much, much, much older female cradling Libra's face in her pale hands, a white light flared as Libra's marks faded. Libra sighed in content as she lowered Life's hands from her face.

"What happened Miss. Libra? What caused all of those...bruises?" Virgo asked as Scorpio silently moved away from the younger sister of Capricorn and Aries. His attempts at escaping only turning futile as a gravitational pull dragged him back to the conversation between Virgo and Libra.

"Well, this guy barged into my office, he didn't even bother to wait in line and demanded to be brought back to life... I said no... he attacked me and so I sent him to hell."

Virgo's eyes nearly popped out of her head at Libra's harsh words. Scorpio brushed it off.

"You didn't interview him at all?" Scorpio asked as Libra crossed her arms, lifting an eyebrow in an irritated manner.

"Of course I didn't his soul reeked of evil. I would rather not waste my time."

Scorpio pulled his hood down, increasing his intimidating demeanour. 

Libra stretched her arms, a crack of bones was heard as the divider yawned. She hadn't realized how slouched her posture was.

Being crammed in a room for so long took its toll on her.

"Virgo sweetie, could you possibly heal my neck pains?" Virgo nodded and placed her hands on Libra's shoulders, sliding her palm up to her neck as the white glow followed her hand's movements.

Scorpio walked away, finally able to leave.

Once Virgo stopped her book reappeared in front of her, floating midair.

"Miss. Libra, I must leave. Someone is in need of my assistance."

"I'll forget this ever happened, it gave me chance to be outside, I haven't been outside for aeons."

Libra motioned her to go do her job with a smile on her face, Libra snapped her fingers and a black and white door appeared. A grey light flooded from out of the door as Libra stepped inside.

Virgo left, minding her own business. She was soon walking down a street that was polluted with smoke and ash.

She phased through the front door of a rundown house as she walked towards the bathroom.

A lady with long black hair was staring at the small pregnancy test that rested on the sink. She walks back and forth, waiting for the results, a nervous look on her face.

Virgo placed her hand on the women's stomach as the test showed two lines, she was pregnant.
