Death
Chapter 2
Author’s Note: Wow, it’s been
awhile, hasn’t it? I started working and watching a lot of movies, which equals
a ton of new fic ideas plus ideas of continuing my
old ones. On top of that, my computer died. Sniff. But, it’s fixed now, so I
can update now.
Severing his link from Heaven wasn’t as painful as Duo had
thought it would be, it was taking human form that was
difficult. It involved mutating his aura so he could become visible to the
living. His overall appearance stayed the same, with the exception of his
wings. As he donned his human appearance, his newly black wings shed their
feathers. The raw skin on them slid off like wet meat until only starkly white
bone remained. It hurt like nothing else he had experienced since he had died a
long time ago, but he gritted his teeth and bore it. With a great deal of
effort, he forced the protruding bones into his now mortal flesh. He discovered
that even in this form a little bit of his power remained and extended a small
part of it to knit his skin together again. He also discovered that he could
still see the coming and goings of the unseen world, the dead, energy waves, and
the residual auras of things from both heaven and hell. His naked body, weak as
a newborn, shivered in the cold of his surroundings. All angels were sexless,
so having a penis again was beyond strange and he didn’t think he would ever
get used to it.
Beyond his newly grown genitalia, fragile body, and lack of
wings, he didn’t feel all that awkward. With the memories of previous souls he
had reaped, he readily knew all that he would ever need to know about this
world. Politics, popular information, music, television, places… it was all
locked up inside of his head. He recognized the place he had fallen, L2,
specifically the colony he had visited to take the souls from the bombed
church. It seemed a fitting place to start a new life. He even knew all of the
back alleys of this place from one of the dead orphans, a boy nicknamed Toad
because of his flat head, staring eyes, and oddly proportioned limbs. With this
stolen info, he strode through the alleys completely unbothered by his nudity
or, rather, he had not been taught to be embarrassed by his skin. It took
awhile, but he managed to find a man selling stolen items in a back alley. The
man did not seem very bothered by his nudity, but did give him some appraising
stares until he noted Duo’s limp penis. Disappointed by his male gender, the
man did not give him a second glance, even when Duo asked him only for some
clothes. Duo realized that, with his very pale skin, intense shivering, and unkempt
appearance, he looked like a drug addict.
The dealer held some clothing in his gnarled, dark hand,
but did not give them to Duo. Duo could sense the man’s instinctive distrust
and handed the man a bundle of something. It was a bunch of his shed feathers,
once they had touched the earthly ground, they crystallized into a strange sort
of heavenly glass; iridescent and frosted, almost iced as they were freezing to
the touch even now. When looking closely enough, it appeared as though spiraled
galaxies swirled within them. After seeing these beautiful artifacts, the man
happily surrendered the grey sweatpants and zippered black, hooded sweatshirt
for one of the long, knife-like feathers. Duo grabbed the clothing and shrugged
them on, fumbling, his movements still shaky and unusual, but he was quickly
becoming used to his human body. He quickly stuffed the rest of the hundreds of
feathers into the pants pockets. As they clinked together, they made a sound
like clear wind chimes that went on for several seconds, echoing like bells. He
shuffled off back the way he came, not knowing at all where he was going or
what he was going to do with his new found freedom. There was evil in the wind,
he could taste it on his tongue. Underneath the usual bad feelings of this
colony was something else, something that was brewing under the surface like a
cancer. War, he realized. It was coming. That feeling surged through him and
made his heart pound painfully. Something bad was going to happen. Bad things
had already happened, here and all over this world. This was the reason why he
had reaped so many. And somehow he knew that he had to leave this colony. There
was something he had to do, somewhere he had to be. He could feel Fate’s waves
around his, flowing, but could no longer read them. He only knew that something
was happening.
A strange smell greeted him then, anger, greed, and lust.
Even without turning around he knew that he was being followed. He had been
careless and had been seen by someone in the alley. They knew that he had
something precious on him and wanted it for themselves.
Duo slowed his pace, allowing the man to catch up to him. Slipping a hand into
his pants pocket, he clutched at one of the sharp feathers. He felt his pursuer’s
meaty hand on his shoulder and his hunter’s knife pressed against his back. Duo
stepped forward to avoid the knife and whirled on his attacker, stabbing the
feather into the homeless man’s beefy neck. The man howled in pain as the glass
pierced his vein and contaminated his blood. The effects of the ethereal poison
immediate as his veins became pure black like spreading ash. His skin rotted to
reveal tissue, blood leaking out of the holes in his thinning skin. Rigor set
in, though he was still alive, like meningitis, tightening his body in a
permanent state of terror and agony until he suffocated, or bled to death, Duo
wasn’t sure. Duo quirked a cinnamon eyebrow at the sight.
How interesting… who knew angels could be so deadly? Duo dug out the feather,
blood crystallized into it like a strange fungus. Beautiful,
but a sign of the feather’s deadliness.
Duo hiked to the space port. Whatever he needed to do, it
was not on this horrible bear trap, floating in the darkness of space. He heard
a light fluttering, accompanied by a familiar, and comforting, slight weight on
his shoulder. Lucifer said nothing, but words were not needed. Right now, all
Duo need was his presence. Duo didn’t doubt he could use his feathers to buy
passage onto a ship. The destination didn’t matter right now for he had no
where he was supposed to go. But, surely even Shinigami
could figure out how to sneak on to a ship.
