"It's been a long time since I've had to deal with a curse" Hikari would sit down at a desk "The only thing I'm not happy about, is that I was able to repel my purification magic, it's so frustrating, I'll have to start an investigation so I can repel it" Hikari would pull out a large book that was underneath the desk.
-Hikari," said Hana entering the room, "What's wrong?
-Tochi's curse has me a little worried... I've never seen one capable of repelling my purification magic.
-It's really something very strange, it's as if... the person who cursed him was prepared for that.
-if he was ready... Hinotama... I know it's him.
-We must remember that he is accompanied, so we need to gather some information.
-You're right," She would close the book, "Do you know where they could have gone? -Hana would say no shaking her head, "Okay," The blonde would leave the room.
"What will Hikari think of doing... I wouldn't like her to face that guy, I have a very bad feeling... Calm down Hana! It's Hikari, I know she can handle him. She was at the level of the archangels for a reason" The red-haired girl would go after her friend.
On the other hand, Yoru and Hinotama were arriving at the beach...
"So Yoru Kurayami... I didn't expect him to be from that family... I thought his monarchy was completely gone."
-Wait here," said Yoru as he took off his clothes.
-What do you plan to do? -Hinotama asked.
-What's not obvious? I'll go get some fish. Find some branches for a fire, make yourself useful.
Yoru finished taking off his clothes, showing an incredible physique, to then go hunting in the sea with an improvised spear.
"What kind of training did this guy go through to have a physique like that?" I would observe from head to toe the black-haired man "something tells me that he is still hiding something, but... What could it be? He knows many things about angels, I still remember when I resided in paradise, I didn't see him at any time... Maybe he is a pure demon, no... if he was, he would be one of the eminences" Hinotama would sigh from confusion "Who the hell are you?"
"What's wrong with that guy?" Yoru would chuckle slyly and then exhale "The Kurayami... those were really good times... it was many, many years ago..." Yoru would suddenly clench his fist and look very angry "Why are you reacting like that you idiot...you know very well it happened a long time ago and you didn't find her, all because of my miserable father."
Yoru would dive into the water, and when he did so, he would see several fish, this would make him get excited, starting to pierce them all with the spear, he was so fast, that he managed to catch 6 fish in less than a minute, coming to the surface to take a look at the fish.
"Puffer fish... I'll have to move a little more so I can get something edible" Yoru would start looking for fish again, after a while, he only kept finding poisonous fish, this would end his patience, making him break the spear, totally pissed off.
-First a forest with no animals and now an ocean full of poisonous fish! Damn it! -Said Yoru angrily and frustrated -What the hell is wrong with these lands?
something strange would move in the sand, he would see it with delirium, he knew perfectly well what it was, so he buried his hands in the sand and from there he would pull out an octopus, returning with a smile, to the place where Hinotama was preparing a bonfire.
"He's a nomad, he's definitely one."
-Japan... it makes me angrier and angrier," Yoru said as he approached.
-Does Japan make you more and more angry? Aren't you from Japan? -asked confused.
-That's not relevant, light the bonfire," Yoru said superiorly.
-Could you ask for things in a different way? -A few hours later they were both quietly eating the octopus.
-Can I ask you a question? -said Hinotama to which Yoru would look at him in a bad way....
-Go ahead," Yoru replied.
-Are you really from Japan?
Yoru would nod his head no, saying no, while biting into the octopus.
-So how are you a Kurayami?
-Oh that. They "adopted" me by giving me their last name.
"I'd better stay put, that murderous aura it emits gives me the creeps. I'll have to stay with a lot of doubts."
-Tell me about you "demon", I'm very curious about that betrayal. I want to know that dark past that led you to hate that person so much.
-It all happened... about 2000 years ago...
"Hikari Hinode, an admirable woman, not only for her fighting style, but for her great determination in the face of any adversity, the greatest candidate to be an archangel, being compared to Gabriel. For the archangels, she was an important angel because of her influence in paradise. One day, they were selecting new candidates for guardian angels, these are the ones who protect the earth from humans, from demons, sending them back to hell or locking them up if necessary... among those candidates was me... I had been reborn as an angel, shortly after being killed in a battle defending the kingdom of Tohoku... even though I had full knowledge of how to wield a sword, this would quickly catch Hikari's attention... which I remember with a different appearance, in those times her eyes were light blue, and her hair was silver with yellow highlights..." Hikari would approach Hinotama, as he was sitting down, wiping his sweat....
-You're good," said Hikari after sitting next to Hinotama. -Hinotama... Right?
-That's right," Hinotama grumbled in reply.
"One of the better angels was sitting next to me."
-It's been a long time since someone performed like that. Where are you from? -Hikari asked curiously.
-I'm from Fukushima," Hinotama replied nervously.
-Oh! You are from Japan, we usually meet people from China and Korea because of the people killed in the wars.
"It was the first lie I told him, as I am actually from Chonju."
-Chonju is Korean territory, you can't fool me," Yoru interrupted Hinotama for a few seconds.
-May I continue?
-Go ahead.
"Hikari's words would make me motivate me even more, which made me try 100%... I swept the tests, I made them look as if it was my everyday life. After the final test, I would be among the 20 angels acts to enter the guardians ... Hikari without hesitation, chose me instantly, I felt ... very important, because I was chosen by a very recognized angel ... for years, we guarded the entire Japanese territory, where we banished countless demons, we were ... unstoppable, even fought at his side in the dreaded holy war ... until one day, I witnessed something really horrible ... one of my companions was selling information to the demons about the places where there were tunnels that connected paradise with hell that only the angels knew... it was an obvious betrayal, I had already mentioned it to Hikari, but she said to leave it to the superiors, I decided to follow him... and I discovered more than I should, so I decided to kill them both... but... just at that moment, she... she had seen me".
-Wait Hikari... it's not what you think.
-What are you doing Hinotama? -Hikari asked in shock.
-I just killed the traitor and the demon, it's part of our job....
-I told you to forget it! This was a job for the superiors!...
-But... what are you saying!? Think it over Hikari, it was a...
-You are silent.
"Out of nowhere...one of my buddies, he would tie me up and leave me immobile."
-Open your eyes Hikari! -Hinotama shouted angrily.
-It was a mistake to have trusted you.
"Those words... made me fill with so much hatred... when I found myself in paradise again, Hikari would drag me into the wailing abyss, one of the 10 gates that connected to hell... All my companions were there... Hikari had already... told the angels everything, tarnishing my reputation in the blink of an eye..."
-Hinotama..." Hana looked at Hinotama in disappointment.
-Wait Hana, it's not what you think!
-No need to talk, I already know everything... I can't believe you did something like that
-Do you see what you cause Hinotama? You ended up being a really hated person, you are lucky... I will put an end to that suffering," said Hikari and then threw Hinotama into the well, "Goodbye, Hinotama.
"I would be thrown at that moment down the well... everything... it was over for me... the good deeds I had done when I was an angel, had vanished... I did not believe it, for helping the angels I ended up harmed... something that... I never forgave... I felt that the fall lasted hours, my body burned in pain, until finally..." Hinotama would fall into a lake of blood, it would quickly come out of him, and upon touching the ground he would vomit uncontrollably "How terrible was that feeling... my body, it hurts too much" Hinotama would fall face up and see the place where he fell....
-So... I'm a fallen angel now...
Suddenly footsteps would be heard, a guy in a dark suit with a red symbol on his suit, disheveled hair of a crimson color and cat-like eyes the same color as his hair... would approach Hinotama.
-Wow, wow, a fallen angel. How unique, I haven't seen one since Zechariah was sent.
"This guy...if I remember him correctly...during the holy war, he was with Amon that means he's one of the eminences What's he coming here to do?"
-Are you scared little angel? -said the guy and then laughed.
-Get away from me!
-Oh! You have guts to tell me that..." -The guy would grab Hinotama by the shirt and lift him up -Listen to me very well asshole, I remind you that this is not the paradise you liked so much to be in, you are in hell, the rules here are totally different -He would let Hinotama go.
"Who does he think he is? That's what I don't like about dealing with fallen angels, they're always looking for trouble" He would see Hinotama's sword and be somewhat surprised.
-Your sword -Did you participate in the holy war?
"Oh no, this might be a bad thing, if he finds out that I came from the holy war, knowing that demons hate many angels who participated in it... I'm dead..." Hinotama would gather his courage.
-Yes, I participated, what's the problem? -The subject would start laughing uncontrollably, after listening to Hinotama.
-How did a guardian angel end up here! -The guy would bend down to get closer to Hinotama -Tell me what you did to get the archangels to banish you.
"What's wrong with him? His reaction was totally different from what I expected..."
-One of my classmates betrayed me after I helped her," the guy would start laughing uncontrollably once again.
-How ridiculous! I see that the angels have not changed at all after the holy war.
-It's not funny! -The guy would once again start laughing uncontrollably.
"It's no use, enjoy seeing how I was dragged here..." Hinotama would see a woman standing behind Arturo "Huh? Huh?! Emilia!" Hinotama would be surprised to see the presence of this person, to the point of almost fainting.
-What's the reaction?
A woman wearing a corset dress with long black sleeves and red highlights, short, mostly black hair with crimson highlights and bright red eyes, stood behind the subject looking at him in a murderous manner.
-So here you are... Arturo," said the woman stalkingly.
-E-Emilia... -Responded the subject, who goes by the name of Arturo.
-What are you doing here? You know very well that the master doesn't like this kind of insolence.
-I'm sorry, I felt sacred energy coming from this place, so I decided to go.
"I can't believe she's here" Hinotama would swallow a little saliva from fear.
"Sacred energy?" I would look up "That's right, it's the wailing well, it's been a long time since they had banished an angel, depending on his position in paradise, my master might forgive him... although judging his reaction to seeing me, he surely knows me."
-A fallen angel... well, where do we know each other from?
-S-second holy war. -Hinotama replied hesitantly.
-I don't remember you at all, surely you didn't influence her much -Emilia would turn her back to Hinotama and start to leave -Come on Arturo... unless, you want to be punished by the master. I hope you won't last long fallen angel
-Yes... don't last long angel -Arturo and Emilia would leave, leaving Hinotama alone, who would lie down on the floor.
"What do I do now? I don't know what might happen to me here... I'm afraid."
-Hikari...
"Scum... I may have a bad time here, but... I swear with all my being, I will get even with you no matter what it takes!"
-That's how it was.... how I set out to get revenge on Hikari Hinode, never imagining how bad a time I would have in hell....
