Goku X Vegeta Oneshots

Taming Hearts

*Part 3 of The Fall!*

I realized that I had a huge job on my hands. Well, two really.

I had to keep myself pure; I had to prevent my own corruption.

I had to reform a demon- the Prince of Lust himself- that simply did not want to be reformed!

We sat in my home, just staring at each other. Ever since his identity was revealed, he had changed massively. No longer was he the cute little tenebris that had come into my life. We were all deceived. Then again, lust demons were the hardest to detect, for their sin was random in its coming, constantly shifting, growing and waning. I'd assumed greed, perhaps sloth or envy. If we'd known that he was a lust demon, he likely would have gone to an older angel who had reformed other demons of his likeness.

But nope. He got stuck with little old me.

Little old me, who was sitting on my golden cloud that rested on the floor, wondering what in the world I could do to even begin reforming the... this gorgeous creature that sat on my floor staring at me with those black eyes. I couldn't help but compare him to the Prince of Pride, poor Lucifer. They looked so much alike. The Lord had made Lucifer as His closest companion, his dearest friend. He'd had loved Lucifer with all of His being.

And then Lucifer grew proud of his status, of his closeness to the Lord Himself. He'd taken His praises and loving words far too dear to heart. His brightest Light. His First. The Highest, the Beloved of the Lord. He had grown vain. Taking advantage of the love he had gained from the Lord and many of his brothers, he turned a third of coelum against Him. But he couldn't even begin to compare to the power of his God. For his treachery, he and his followers were cast out of coelum forever.

Then when Lucifer rose up again, this time knowing that it would be his end, the Lord ended it all, destroying Lucifer out of both the mortal and seventh plane. To this day, both Father and Son wept for Lucifer, for both had loved him so dearly...

It must be a knife in the heart for Them to see this creature now, a true mockery on Lucifer's part. He had made the other Prince's in his image, as the Lord had made Man in his image. Most of the Princes had been wiped out in the war, but Lust and Greed remained out of the Seven.

Vegeta- not poor Lucifer- sat before me now, resting on my warm floor with no intention of relenting his past and his sin. His eyes were half shut as he stared at me, but I had no idea of how to identify the expression on his face. He looked very calm, almost docile. Was he waiting for me to do something? I didn't know.

A voice entered my mind. Michael! "Is everything alright? Do you have him under control?"

"Yes," I replied. "He's being very quiet right now. Michael, I wasn't trained to reform lust demons; what should I do???"

"I... Go to Raphael. He's reformed a few before. He'll know."

"Thank you. Blessings!"

"And to you, Goku." His voice faded.

I stood. "Let's go."

"Go where?" Even his voice had changed. Deep and rumbling, a thrum filled the air and I honestly had no idea what it was. What was he doing?

"We're going to talk to someone," I replied, crossing my arms. "No funny business from you, got it?"

"As if you truly have power over me," he sneered. His teeth shone like snow as he grinned. "No common angel can hope to sway a Prince as powerful as myself. I'll have my way with you; just you wait."
