  Part 2:- The Coming of Angels
  
  **
  
  Ever heard of this saying if you think the glass is half full 
  rather than half empty, you will have a more positive thinking 
  towards life? 
  
  Toshiya stared at his glass of `half full' beer, turning the phrase 
  over and over again in his mind. Was he starting to think more 
  positive? Not really… There wasn't much positiveness when a demon has 
  come to his life, claiming that his soul was damned for hell. 
  
  He drank down the beer and stared at the empty glass. 
  
  ` This is exactly how my life is.' Toshiya thought bemusedly, 
  turning it over in his hands. 
  
  A clearing of the throat next to him. 
  
  He glanced lazily to whoever it was and saw a pretty looking 
  person, obviously trying to catch his attention. Toshiya rolled his 
  eyes and took out a cigarette, ready to light up when a hand snatched 
  it away from him. He turned to glare at the girl when he finally 
  caught sight of the pretty looking person and noticed that the girl 
  was a man. 
  
  " You're a very nice fellow," the man gave him a disapproving 
  look, " I've been trying to get your attention for the past half hour 
  and now all you do is ignore me."
  
  " Isn't it my life?" Toshiya plucked the cigarette from the man's 
  hand, placing it in his mouth again." I get to decide to whom I 
  please to talk to."
  
  The person imitated him rolling his eyes and spun the seat so that 
  he faced the counter. The bartender came to ask for his orders but 
  the bishounen held up a hand, waving him away. Toshiya's eyes 
  travelled up and down the man, scanning him for any indication to why 
  he wanted to talk to him so badly. 
  
  Dressed in a pale cream dress, short sleeved and tied loosely at 
  the back, the man looked like a lady hadn't he had that touch of 
  masculinity that Toshiya could easily see through. Light brown hair 
  that could almost pass for auburn hung a few centimeters from his 
  shoulders, one side clipped back to hold the bangs away from his 
  eyes. The face of the man head a serene glow to it, making Toshiya 
  envy him. 
  
  " You're being rude again. Staring isn't an appropriate way to get 
  to know someone." He spoke again. 
  
  Toshiya sighed and grabbed his now refilled glass, about to down it 
  in one gulp when the man's hand's touched his wrist. Toshiya turned 
  to him, angered by the man being a busy body but his eyes softened 
  upon catching his eyes. 
  
  " Would you like to bring me to your home?" His lips quirked into a 
  small smile, shy with a slight trace of boldness. " I'm sure I'm much 
  better then that drink you're having."
  
  He gave him another thorough look, wondering if he wanted to bring 
  this stranger to his shabby home instead of drowning himself with the 
  sweet nectar sitting temptingly in his hand. The man shifted to sit 
  comfortably, crossing his legs. Toshiya's quick eyes caught sight of 
  long, creamy legs when the dress had slided up a bit and placed the 
  glass down, getting up as coolly as possible. 
  
  " If you don't mind walking." Toshiya said, taking out a few bills 
  and slapping them down on the counter. He didn't look at the man as 
  he was talking though. 
  
  " I don't mind." He said, smiling with a small victorious edge to 
  it. " I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Shinya—"
  
  " Names aren't of importance to me." Toshiya cut in. He thought 
  about it for awhile then turned to Shinya, " But since you've given 
  yours, mine is Toshiya."
  
  The man smiled, getting up from his seat. 
  " I know."
  
  ~~
  
  The walk was short and there wasn't much conversation between it. 
  If there even had been a conversation, Toshiya wasn't one to join it. 
  So the walk was pretty much a silent one, the only connection between 
  them being when Toshiya placed an arm around the young one's 
  shoulder, drawing him close. 
  
  ` He sure is skinny..,' Toshiya thought to himself as he lead the 
  man towards the door of his house. ` But, I guess I can't say much 
  about that.' 
  
  The small apartment was dark and as Shinya touched the wall to find 
  the light, Toshiya easily took his hand, pulling him towards the bed. 
  
  " The light doesn't work." Toshiya breathed into Shinya's ear, 
  making the smaller man shiver slightly. " I live in darkness." 
  
  The statement seemed to mean more than just the lighting of his 
  apartment. As Toshiya left Shinya alone shortly, the stranger noticed 
  that the apartment was really a small one. Kitchen, living room, and 
  bedroom rolled into one, only one door opened to reveal a much 
  smaller bathroom. The sofa was across from the single bed, a table 
  sat in front of the sofa and on the left was a small kitchen. The 
  whole place was messy as well, a few clothes strewn here and there, 
  unwashed dishes stacked inside the sink, and empty cans of beer lying 
  around on the floor. 
  
  Shinya knitted his eyebrows together, turning from the ugly scene 
  towards a more beautiful subject. Only to rush forward and grab the 
  needle that was nearly injected inside the pale skin. 
  
  " What do you think you're doing?" Shinya demanded, throwing away 
  the needle. 
  
  Toshiya shrugged carelessly and went off to search for the missing 
  needle. 
  " It's much better to do it when I'm high. When we're both high. 
  Much more satisfying. Sort of like going to heaven for awhile."
  
  Shinya tugged on Toshiya's arm, turning the man around. He noticed 
  then that the shirt he had been wearing was now tied around his 
  waist. 
  
  Toshiya followed Shinya's gaze which rested on his shirt and 
  sighed, smiling to himself, despite the fact that he wouldn't be 
  getting his source of energy for the moment. His arms dropped, 
  making Shinya loosen his grip, then wound themselves around the thin 
  waist, pressing against the fragile figure. 
  
  The man's eyes widened when he felt Toshiya's body against his, 
  even more when his companion massaged his inner thighs with his own 
  legs. Shinya opened his mouth to say something when Toshiya's lips 
  descended on his roughly, taking all the oxygen he had left in him. 
  He was pushed unconcsiously towards the bed, all the while their lips 
  touching, parting, a warm tongue teasing his own, before he fell back 
  against the hard mattress. Their touch was broken then and Shinya 
  took the moment to grab some air. 
  
  He didn't have much time though since Toshiya's body crashed down 
  upon his, not much of a welcomed weight. 
  
  " To—" He started to say but the rest of the man's name was cut off 
  when lips claimed his again, this time with even more vigour. 
  
  Lost in his own passion, Toshiya's hands travelled to Shinya's 
  back, tugging the ribbon loose and working on the zipper. He felt 
  hands on his chest and moaned slightly against the delectable lips, 
  hearing a gasp of his own name before pushing his tongue inside the 
  warm and wet insides of Shinya's mouth. His hands never stopped 
  moving though, tugging on the dress, urging it to come off soon. 
  
  ` Why won't the damn thing come off?!' Toshiya mind was a whirl as 
  his legs nudged Shinya's apart. 
  
  Then there were teeth biting at his lips. He smiled against them 
  but shrieked and drew back when they dug into his flesh brutally. 
  Gasping both from lack of air and shock, he stared at the dishevelled 
  figure, who was trying to catch his breath. 
  
  Shinya placed a hand over his chest, the other adjusting his dress 
  again. His cheeks were flushed and he tried to scramble out of bed—
  only to have the sheets wrapped around one of his ankles pull him 
  clumsily down again. He felt Toshiya's weight on the bed move towards 
  him and quickly got up again, pushing himself off the bed in a heap. 
  
  " WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Shinya shouted, his 
  hands still trying to zip up his dress again. 
  
  Toshiya was confused. But then his confused mind suddenly became 
  furious at his confusion. 
  " WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO DO!"
  
  " I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU!" Shinya shouted back, his zip now well 
  up again and he was now trying to steady himself as he stood up. 
  
  Toshiya gave a snort.
  
  " `Would you like to bring me to your home?' " Toshiya mimicked 
  Shinya's voice, making it high and whiny. " `I'm sure I'm much better 
  then that drink you're having.' Yes, I'm sure `talk' was all you had 
  in mind."
  
  Shinya blushed when he realized what the words he had said before 
  meant to Toshiya. 
  " I meant that I could give you better comfort than that alcohol 
  you were consuming! I could've given you a massage while we talked or 
  something.."
  
  Toshiya raised one fine eyebrow.
  
  " A massage?" He repeated increduosly. 
  
  The man finally got himself off of the bed, the jeans he was 
  wearing slipping down a bit to reveal more of his flesh. His shirt 
  that had been wrapped around his waist had fallen when Shinya's hands 
  had tried to push him off. 
  
  Shinya blushed again when his eyes fell on Toshiya's bare upper 
  body but then narrowed itself when Toshiya advanced on him. 
  
  " Stay away.. Toshiya." Shinya's voice became low, lower than his 
  casual speech, touched with a bit of a warning tone. 
  
  " Why should I?" Toshiya was becoming a bit mad. He didn't like 
  being mislead. " You were the one who wanted to throw yourself at me! 
  I'm not gonna let you go back so easily just because you had a change 
  of mind!"
  
  " I never meant I wanted you to bed me!" Shinya protested. He 
  narrowed his eyes again, the brown of his eyes flashing 
  dangerously. " I said. Stay. Away."
  
  Toshiya stopped in his tracks, glaring at the man, watching as 
  Shinya relaxed before letting a smirk creep onto his face. 
  ` Let me be damned in hell. I need this.' 
  
  " I don't think so." He spoke, quickening his steps towards Shinya. 
  
  Shinya's brown irises turned a translucent purple and his entire 
  being shone with light as he raised a hand to point at the startled 
  Toshiya, 
  " STAY AWAY!"
  
  Almost immediately as he said those words, white wings sprouted 
  from his back, spreading themselves out in all their glory. Toshiya 
  was thrown back against the wall as a sudden blow of wind caught 
  against him. He groaned at the impact, feeling his head ache and the 
  back of his body hurt. 
  
  Shinya lowered his eyes and dropped his hand. The wings didn't 
  disappear, neither did the violet orbs of his eyes. He rushed towards 
  the man in pain, leaning over him, about to touch him when his hand 
  was pushed away. 
  
  Toshiya looked up to glare at him again. 
  " Just who the hell are you?"
  
  The man gave him a long look before letting out a sigh. He sat on 
  his knees, folding his legs behind him as he leaned closer to 
  Toshiya. 
  
  " I guess I should tell you now." Shinya said, gazing with sympathy 
  at Toshiya. " Like I said, my name is Shinya—I'm your guardian angel."
  
  Toshiya's eyes widened. 
  " What the fuck?"
  
  ~~
  
  Kaoru gave a shudder as his eyes opened from his sleep. 
  
  Dark wings stretched out behind him as his body sat up. He looked 
  around him, the torturing fires scorching the air comforting the 
  sudden hit of an unknown feeling. 
  
  He stood up, stretching luxuriously, looking out at his hellish 
  kingdom below. Demons were having fun inflicting excruciating pain on 
  the humans he had especially captured for them. Cries rang out when 
  hands were chopped off over and over again, only to be regrowned so 
  that the torture would continue; backs were whipped with thorns 
  emblazed by fire, crying out blood that never ceased to fall; burnt 
  from head to toe from the wash of liquified fire- an act 
  of `cleansing' as they had called it. 
  
  The demons looked up at the prescence of their master. A few had 
  their gaze lingering on Kaoru's body awhile longer than it should- 
  most probably because the majestic figure was clothed with the most 
  transparent material of all, not at all hiding any parts of his body. 
  Every limb, every toned area, muscled arms and lean legs, the indent 
  of his flat stomach, peeked out from beneath it. It wasn't much of a 
  piece of clothing, more of a cloak just thrown over him. A richly 
  comfortable cloak welcomed by all who laid eyes on it, pleasured by 
  the sight Kaoru made for them. 
  
  Kaoru let his lips twist into the smirk he offered them everytime 
  he awoke before walking back into his chambers. It was then the 
  thought crossed his mind, making a frown cross over his face. 
  
  ` Toshiya..'
  
  ~~
  
  " You're my what??" Toshiya pushed Shinya away as if though he was 
  dangerous. 
  
  " I'm your guardian angel." Shinya sighed. He gave an exasperated 
  look, throwing his hands in the air. " I would've thought that after 
  seeing the demon you would be relieved to see me!"
  
  " The hell I'm not!" Toshiya yelled back. " You're here to take 
  back all my life's pleasures! That's why I didn't get much smoking, 
  drinking, fucking, or drugs done today!"
  
  Shinya's face wrinkled in disgust. His white wings gave a shudder 
  from behind. 
  " Really Toshiya, if those are your little life's pleasure then I'm 
  not at all surprised that the demon Kaoru is interested in you."
  
  Toshiya rolled his eyes for the second time that day. 
  " As if the devil couldn't find someone else who'd sinned worse 
  than me?"
  
  " He's just looking for someone new to take under his wings." 
  Shinya said calmly. " And since we don't get along so great, you're a 
  perfect target."
  
  Toshiya paced the room, looking like a wreck. 
  " If you're my guardian angel where were you all these years I'd 
  been living in a fucked up place?!"
  
  " I wasn't allowed to come near you." Shinya then dropped his 
  voice, his wings drooping at the back. " And you unconcsiously didn't 
  let me come near either. It was when hell wanted you was I sent here."
  
  " What do you mean I `unconsciously didn't let you come near me'?" 
  Toshiya yelled again. 
  
  Shinya gave him a tired look, his wings sagging behind him even 
  more. 
  " Oh Toshiya, don't you remember?"
  
  " Remember what?" He became furious. 
  
  Shinya reached forward, placing both hands on either side of the 
  man's face. 
  " This." He whispered gently. 
  
  He leaned in and touched their lips together. Ever so softly, his 
  wings fluttering out and stretching behind him as he did. A warm 
  light glowed around them as Toshiya closed his eyes; images, happy 
  images, of when he was a child rushing inside him. Then there were 
  images he'd never seen, but they were filled with so much joy, so 
  much hope that he felt his heart become lightened. 
  
  Shinya drew back but kept his hands on Toshiya's face. 
  " Do you remember now?"
  
  " Why didn't I feel like that when I kissed you just now?" Toshiya 
  enquired, looking puzzled, his heart still fuzzy with warm feelings. 
  
  Shinya shrugged.
  " I think your mind was clouded by lust that you weren't able to 
  feel them. And maybe you only felt so warm because it was I who 
  kissed you."
  
  " But—" 
  
  Toshiya was cut off when he gave a violent tremble and Kaoru 
  charged out of his body, long fingers closing around Shinya's throat, 
  throwing the angel onto the floor. 
  
  " Kaoru!" Shinya gasped, a hand pushing at Kaoru's face, trying to 
  get the demon off of him. " I am his guardian! You have no right to 
  attack me!"
  
  The demon Kaoru smirked, black wings blocking out the remnants of 
  light away from Shinya's eyes. His hands pressed harder around 
  Shinya's neck. 
  
  " No right? You are the one with no right to Toshiya." Kaoru said, 
  his voice calm, silkily smooth. 
  
  Toshiya shuddered, his body trembling from wanting to feel Kaoru's 
  touch on his again. 
  
  Kaoru seemed to read his mind, most probably he had read the man's 
  mind, giving Shinya a slap making the angel recoil in anger. He stood 
  up before the angel could return the blow, sauntering over to 
  Toshiya's side. 
  
  " And how is my precious darlin' Toshiya?" His voice practically 
  made the human's insides melt. " I hope you're not taken by this liar 
  here."
  
  Toshiya opened his mouth to speak but couldn't quite find his 
  voice. He didn't know why he felt so vulnerable when facing the 
  demon. His mind seemed to have stopped working, not functioning as he 
  had hoped. 
  
  ` Don't worry my dear..,' Kaoru's voice laced themselves inside 
  Toshiya's thoughts. ` You needn't speak a single word to me.. I can 
  understand and hear all your.. desires..'
  
  " Stay away from him!" 
  
  Shinya raised a hand and a ball of energy was released, only to be 
  deflected by the sheild of Kaoru's wings. The demon gave an annoyed 
  look at the angel. 
  
  " You will stay away from Toshiya." Shinya said slowly, his 
  breathing haggard but kept calm anyways. " He's not yours yet. I'm 
  not the liar here, you are. A part of his soul still belongs to me- 
  he's not completely yours."
  
  Shinya's violet eyes flashed angrily. 
  " Back off."
  
  Toshiya blinked in confusion again, he felt so numb. If it had only 
  been himself and Shinya, he was sure he would've shouted something at 
  the angel. But with Kaoru's prescence so close to him, all he could 
  do was breathe and hoped that his body and soul were still intact and 
  not taken by the both of them. 
  
  " Oh Shinya." Kaoru gave a sigh. 
  
  Kaoru grabbed Toshiya close before Shinya could stop him, his lips 
  severing the human's until blood dripped from the other's lips. 
  Shinya rushed to Toshiya's side, pushing Kaoru away and hugging onto 
  the body that was shaking so horribly. 
  
  ` No worries…,' Again, the teasing, seductive voice floated and 
  lingered in his mind. ` I know where your loyalties are… my 
  darlin'..' 
  
  Kaoru's voice was all the reminder he left in him, vanishing 
  shortly afterwards.
