The Wounded

15 part 1

Hazel orbs appeared behind thin eye lids. The owner of the fair orbs grunted in pain as a stab of pain embedded itself in the man's chest. 'What is this feeling?' The man was confused for he had never felt this pain before. He thought about his angel leaving. 'Was this caused by his departure?' He asked himself once again before exhaling in frustration. The pain in his chest was suffocating and definitely bothersome. Suddenly a warm feeling entered his chest seizing the bothersome pain.

"-samune. -mune. Masamune!"

The deep voice shocked him out from his thoughts. "What is the matter?" The hazel eyed man looked up at his tall navy haired demon friend. His friend held a glare in his direction. Although it was a glare, it held traces of worry and other motherly hen feelings. "Nothing of major importance. Just a slight discomfort in my chest."

The standing man chuckled in realization. "Ritsu is the angel." The man was confused. Why was his friend talking about his Ritsu? "What about Ritsu?" Yokozawa smiled warmly. His friend won't be in the dark anymore. He would be saved if Ritsu returned. "You know how every soul that wasn't meant to be pure evil has a angel? Ritsu, I'm sure, would be yours." The demon glanced at his friend in a curious manner. "How do you know?"

"Pain from his departure. You've finally found the one to save you, and he leaves. It is no question that doubt and insecurity chased him away.-" The hazel eyed demon cut him off. "How do you know that is was doubt and insecurity?" The other demon sighed guiltily. "I was the one who gave him permission to leave the estate. He had is sad look in his eye and it's common knowledge that Angels will have many doubts when meeting their soul." Silence filled the room in awkward waves.

Suddenly Many screams were heard from outside the dining hall. "What was that?" The two demons raced out of the room and transported into the dining hall. "What the hell is going on!" Masamune demanded. The many occupants in the room silenced upon hearing his authoritative voice. "T-T-Takano-dono! If I may speak?" He nodded silently. "A-an angel by the name of 'Onodera Ritsu' has arrived demanding your presence and the guards took him into the i-i-interrogation rooms." Yokozawa sighed beside him in frustration. "What rank was Onodera assigned for interrogation?" The young angel shook her head at both of the high authoritative men for she had no clue what he was speaking of. "Everyone is dismissed. Masamune, follow me. You know well enough that interrogations can get bloody." He followed silently after the motherly hen.

Onodera's Point of view/

Kiyoshi, as I found out on our journey back, was twenty eight years old and a doctor. His mate and him were still on the process of recovering from doubt, but overall their relationship was strong and unbreakable now. "Who are you bound to?" A blush lit up my face like flames. "Takano Masamune." Kiyoshi smiled in recognition. "He is the first chair of the council in the Wings Estate, am I right." I frowned in ignorance. "Sorry I'm not sure. We didn't really talk about that stuff." Kiyoshi reassured me that it was fine, that it was not important. "If you don't mind me asking Kiyoshi-San. What career is your bonded related to?" A smile lot up in the mid Dark Angel's face. "My bonded is a teacher for elementary school." I was amazed, at the warmth that spread out on Kiyoshi's face as he talked about his bonded. "We have about three hours until we arrive at the Estate. Hopefully it is before nightfall." I nodded in agreement, night meant predators and for an angel and a mid Dark Angel, predators weren't ever good.

It was about late evening when we arrived at the estate. The sun had begun to set and the sky adorned many warm colors. It was like a beautiful romantic scene. "Names and Permission slips please." The guard who protected the gates demanded. "I'm Onodera Ritsu. I'm here to see Masamune Takano." The several guards tensed at the name. "He is demanding to see the great Takano-San!" One of the smaller guards shook in his uniform. "C-commander, mustn't we take him into level A interrogation?" The buffer guard nodded in agreement before looking at Kiyoshi. "How bout you? Why you here?" Kiyoshi smiled kindly before answering the intimidating man. "I'm just here to guide him to the estate. It gets dangerous for someone like him when at night." The guards glanced at each other before nodded to the commander. "The Dark Angel will be under 24 hour surveillance. The angel will be under the Level A interrogation system." All guards nodded before sending two of the demon guards to lead us to our specific location.

When we got to a dark hallway with two paths, Kiyoshi and I separated ways before I was led to a dark room. Inside were chains, whips, paddles, and various other torturing objects.
I let out a scream when I saw one of the interrogation officers head towards me with a spiked whip. "Why are you sending this one in Minato?" The guard holding me threw me against the interrogation officer before heading to leave. He stopped when he was a foot before the entrance and looked behind his shoulder. "He requested to see Takano-sama. So we are putting him on Level A interrogation surveillance." The interrogation officer looked at me before saying, "How long is he to be in here?" The answer frightened me. "Three days. If we doesn't spill you do anything you can to make him spill why he needs to see Takano-dono."

"Alright." I watched the heavy iron door close and felt the officer dragged me to towards the corner of the room. Heavy chains were wrapped around my wrist and legs, preventing me from escape. The officer went over to the wall where the torturous objects were held and picked up one of the multiple tailed whips. A whimper escaped my throat as he walked back towards me with a look of pure amusement. He raised his hand and chuckled. "Ready Sweetheart?" I shook my head in fear, which only made him chuckle even more before replying with something that scared me through my bones. "Well just a warning sweetheart, this will hurt- very much. But don't get your wings in a twist."

"Takano-San... Help me."

And the interrogation began.

(A/N: sorry if this was really bad, please comment and tell me. I've been really rushed and stressed out because of a wedding I'm attending so please forgive me if my chapter sounded rushed and chopped.)
