"Lucifer I'm very disappointed in you. I thought I created you better than this, why must you rebel?" I hear a voice say in my mind.
"Your wings, they are growing darker everyday, if they grow anymore darker I'm afraid I'll have to banish you." Banish me? I'm a angel. I'm meant to be in heaven.
"Lucifer you were my closest friend, why must you treat me this way?" Treat you what way? I haven't done anything.
"If I ever banish you, you know that you will be alone forever, as you left me alone." Alone? Forever?
"Lucifer I'm sorry to do this, but becoming interested in my rival leaves me no choice but to let you fall." Fall? What does he mean~ no way... As a fallen angel? No he cant, he mustn't, it wasn't my fault... It wasn't my fault.... I feel something poke my face.
"Urushihara why are you holding me?" She gently pokes my face with her finger again. My blood rushes to my face.
"U-Uh well the floor its... Hard and I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable."
"But what if I wanted to eat breakfast or something and you were squeezing the life out of me." She pokes my cheek again.
"Was I really holding you that tightly?"
"You were muttering 'It wasn't my fault.' 'It wasn't my fault.' For like five minutes, were you having a bad dream?"
"I guess you could say that..." I respond.
"What is this?" I hear a voice shout from across the room.
"My darling daughter is being molested by a punk!!!" Oh crap.
"What do you have to say about your son?" She says to Alciel. I burst out laughing.
"Me? His son?!?! Heh..."
"Mom it isn't what it looks like, the floor is really hard... Wait mom where did you get that futon?!"
"The landlady gave it to me... She didn't give one to you?"
"I didn't go with you to her room remember?!"
"Oh yeah!" Kia slowly tries to raise her hand to her forehead for what people call a 'facepalm,' but I realize I'm unintentionally restraining her from doing so. She pokes my cheek again, and both of our faces turn crimson.
"Uh... Can you possibly let go now?" She says.
"But why your so warm..." Nice going lucifer now shes going to think your even weirder than she thought previously.
~~~
Did he just indirectly say he wasn't going to let go.
"TCH, WHY YOU LITTLE..." My mom started spouting curse words at Urushihara, Alciel restraining her from beating him to a pulp, Er well thats what I heard Urushihara call him.
"Why are there two girls in our room?" I hear a voice say from the door.
"Oh it was that strange guy that fell down the staircase yesterday."
"And where were you Mao? You had me worried sick." Alciel says.
"I spent the night at a friends house." Alciel and Urushihara both had shocked looks on their faces.
"With whom praytell?"
"Emi..." My eardrums nearly burst from Alciel's and Urushihara's reactions.
"Who is this Emi fellow? Maybe I can become his friend..." I mutter. Then Urushihara whispers in my ear.
"Its a her not a him." Then I come to the conclusion that the two boys had. My face flushes in embarrassment.
"Ummm..." To avoid any more embarrassment I slide out of Urushihara's grip and quietly pull him with me outside of the apartment.
"Is it usually that loud?" I ask.
"Yeah... I'm really not suppose to leave the apartment so..." His hand reaches for the door.
"No I'm not allowing you to become a full fledged hikikomori! It gets quite boring sometimes. Come I know a place thats holding beta tests for video games." I say. I think there is a Nintendo headquarters somewhere around here.
~~~
Great Alciel is probably going to take away my 3ds for sneaking away... But beta testing sounds like fun. She then looks down at the ground.
"Don't you have any shoes?" She asks.
"Uh... Sense I stay in there all the time I really have no need..."
"Do you know what size shoe you wear? Maybe you can fit some of my sneakers."
"Uh four and a half."
"You have really small feet... But I wear a size 5 in girls so my shoes will most likely fit you." She quietly sneaks back into the apartment and retrieves some black vans.
"Here try these." I slip them on, and sadly they're way to tight.
"Okay... You'll just have to wear my flip flops then... I forgot to grab any socks when we got kicked out so I wont be able to wear my vans either."
"Wait isn't the reason you wanted me to wear them is so my feet wouldn't get burned by the pavement?" She nods her head.
"But I can walk on it! Don't worry!" She says with a forced smile.
"Okay then..."
---
"Ow..." She was leading the way to where the 'Beta Testing' and she tripped. I get a glimpse of her heels and it looks like 3rd degree burns.
"Its too hot for you to walk on this pavement."
"Then what do you suggest I do?!" She snaps.
"I'll carry you."
"You'll do what?!" My arms are flimsy but I'm sure that they can carry a skinny girl like Kia.
"Hop on." I say as I turn my back towards her. She slowly climbs on, and I almost fall backward.
"Dang... Your more heavy than you look." I mutter quietly. She must have heard me, because she wacked the top of my head with her phone that was hidden in her pocket.
"Ow..." I wence.
"I'm not heavy..." She whimpers. Gah... Why does she look so adorable? But to be honest she is heavy...
"Fine... Your not heavy... Just give me directions and we'll be on our way."
---
This girl... She got us lost like fifteen times.
"I'm sorry." She says as her eyes tear up. Is she like bipolar or something?
"Its fine." I say as I pat her head. "Alone." My eyes widen. He wouldn't dare.
"I think its this way Urushihara." She says. Shes... Going... Towards...
"WAIT KIA!" The fear in her eyes gave me enough strength that my wings sprouted from my back.
Just before the truck made contact with her, I pushed her out of its path, and both of us went tumbling into a pile of straw on the other side of the street. She slowly opens her eyes. Crap my wings.
"U-Urushihara?" She says, with her eyes widening in fear. Crap why cant I retract my wings, whats going on here?!
I look over my shoulder, about five pedestrians were staring at me wide in shock.
"We need to go." I say.
"O-Okay." Thats a good enough answer for me. I wrap my arms around her waist, and I dart upwards.
~~~
---
We crash landed in the grass outside of the apartment complex. Ow my spine. Ow my head. Ow my everything.
Urushihara... He has wings...
As I was about to reach up and touch a feather, I hear some yelling from the doorway.
"Luci~ Urushihara what in the devils name did you do?!?!"
'Lucifer'
Is that the fallen angel in the bible? Wait wasn't he the devil also.
"No I'm not the devil." He whispers into my ear. Our eyes connect for a few seconds before he starts to tear up.
"It wasn't my fault... It wasn't my fault... Stupid... Brother.... Ruins..." He was rambling on about something, and I felt hot tears drip on my shirt. He's crying? Why?
"Why aren't your wings retracting?"
"He doesn't know." I respond for him.
"What do you mean he doesn't know?
"Shut the hell up you damned demon!" Urushihara yells at him. Apparently he was getting on his nerves.
"Calm down or I will be forced to Apprehend you." I turn to look at Alciel.
"Like hell I'll let that happen." I say as I grip Lucifers shirt. Then I do the most unrational thing to do in the current situation.
"I... Uh..." I fall short of words. I... Kissed him. His wings start to retract, as his eyes are still widened from my sudden notion.
"Well would you look at that..." Alciel says, a bit surprised. Then I hear a squeal from the door way.
"UNHAND MY DAUGHTER YOU BARBARIC RUFFIAN OF DOOM!!!" Where did she get that line from? Oh I know, evesdropping on me watching anime. Mom is so lame sometimes.
"Mom it isn't what it looks like, well it kinda is..." I say. A look of pure fury enters her eyes. I made it worse.
She suddenly lifts Urushihara off the ground.
"Mooom stop, he didn't do anything wrong."
"I'm not allowing you to make the same mistake I made."
"You mean dad?! He is nothing like dad."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive." Yeah... On a whole different level than dad. She slowly puts Urushihara down.
"Can you bring mom inside, I want to ask Urushihara something in private." I ask Alciel.
"Uh sure..." He replies, struggling to push mom into the apartment complex.
"Urushihara... If you ever need to talk to someone about something, I'm here for you." I say. That was a very stupid thing of me to say, if he is the Lucifer I am thinking of, he is in a lot of pain.
~~~
I cant love her. I cant. She will get hurt if I do. Stupid brother. He has to ruin everything. It wasn't my fault that Raphael let that demon in that killed the original god. He pinned all the blame on me. It wasn't my fault that my wings darkened. I just liked reading books. It wasn't my fault. I joined the devil's army after I fell to hurt brother. I killed his creations, and that hurts, it burns like hell. I also burned those phony bibles humans worshipped. They are so biased and they aren't even true. Brother created them.
"Urushihara? Your spacing out. I think we should go inside now, it's getting pretty cold outside." Kia says.
"Y-Yeah okay." I respond. I just really don't want to hurt her.
