Love Between Heaven and Hell{CesareB x Akane Hiroshima}

[Akane Hiroshima]

I will start

 

Izeal looked down upon the earth from his place in the clouds. Down there lied the ones who commit both sin and good deeds. Humans. Izeal had no curiosity for the mortal ones. But just beyond the vast earth below, there was a most treacherous place ever known. Hell.

 

Him and his small squadron of men will go there. It was a special mission given to him, that being that had to capture a group of demons who caused trouble in the human world..

[CesareB]

Ares had an uncommon name among his race, despite being a high classed demon. The other demons scorned him for it. That, and his rebellious attitude towards the laws that governed the demons, humans, and those angels. Ares found it amusing to roam the earth along the humans in his human form. Things were always calm and easygoing for him in the human world. As he saw fit, he would always be alone. No matter what. That changed when he saw a. Group of demons (low classed demons at that) rampaging a human village.

 

Ares watched it from afar and wondered whether those demons would recognize him.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal dove for the earth as the squadron followed. When in the right place, Izeal spread his white wings and flew at great speed. Izeal looked below him and saw bellowing flames that engulfed the mortal village. This was the work of hell. Gracefully, he landed on the ground and un seethed his golden sword," Come out you pathetic demons. Come and atone for the sins you committed with your heads!"

[CesareB]

Hearing that overly patriotic and strong cry, Ares quickly turned around. He stared in concern. The angels where coming down to the mortal realm? Was it because of those low level demons? Ares completely refused to adhere to the rules of the demons, but he wasn't going to let the angels and demons fight. If they fought, the chances of them destroying the village was high. Ares walked closer to the spot of action and watched as the angels engaged the demons. At the head of the angel squadron was a strikingly beautiful angel. That was when Ares felt the need to intervene.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Light emitted from Izeal's blade as he cut down a demon before him."You will a pay for you sins, you lowly dogs," Izeal continued to strike down the warriors from hell. A huge shadow towered over Izeal suddenly. The demon whom the shadow belonged to chuckled deeply,"we'll let you go if you stop being such a pest."

 

"When there is darkness, light always finds it's way through!," Izeal faced his opponent and held a hand out before him. From his had shot out a beam a light," fade away in the light's glory." All that was left was nothing but the devastation of the light.

[CesareB]

One demon down… Ares could feel the presence of that low demon disappear.

 

Good riddance, he thought.

 

But he still couldn't let the angels do as they pleased. Ares leapt into the air, and was greeted by the head of the squadron. The head of the squadron was a beautiful specimen in Ares's eyes with his white hair and golden eyes. Everything about him seemed majestic.

 

"What do you think you are doing?" asked Ares still in his human form.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal turn towards his addresser," who goes there?! Why do you interfere?!" Izeal pointed his swords toward the man. 'he looks human...but I sense darkness," Izeal thought.

[CesareB]

Ares moved closer. "You… do you understand what you are doing?!"

 

Ares didn't feel like answering the angel, but he could tell that as soon as their eyes met, they both went up on guard. That angel… he wasn't a regular message carrying angel either. He was outlandishly strong. And Ares took care to notice that. He narrowed his eyes at the angel, trying to predict his next move.

[Akane Hiroshima]

"I am doing what any bringer of light is supposed to do," Izeal glared back at the intruder. "If you refuse to leave at once," Izeal readied to strike," you shall burn in the light!"

[CesareB]

Ares, angry at the angel's persistence, took a step forward.

 

"Don't you DARE touch me," he roared, letting his human appearance melt away and his demonic appearance showing.

 

As a demon, he had the same long, black hair, but different curse marks were engraved over his chest and face. His eyes also glowed a piercing red. Ares lunged at the angel Izeal, ready to tackle him.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal dodged his attacker, who lunged at him. He was in alittle shock, seeing how he thought was just a mortal who has done the deeds of hell. "A demon. Humph! You shall witness the true power of the light!," Izeal charged for his attacker.

[CesareB]

Just as Izeal had dodged him, Ares swiftly dodged the angel and grabbed the angel's arm.

 

"Listen well, angel. I am not your enemy!" he exclaimed.

 

And he was speaking the truth. Ares rebelled against the angels, the demons, and even the humans. He did not agree with anything that those three races established.

[Akane Hiroshima]

"your lies fall upon deaf ears, filth!," Izeal tried his hardest to pry his arm free." Unhand me you brute!," Izeal struggled. The other angels watched as their leader struggled hopelessly in the demon's grasp. One decided to speak up, "Um...Izeal-Sama...do you-"

 

"No!," Izeal snapped

[CesareB]

Ares found this angel quite amusing. He smirked and brought the angel closer to his face.

 

"I'm telling you… I am not your enemy."

 

Ares made sure that he said that with all the honesty he could muster. Because it was true. Ares was not the enemy. The enemy was elsewhere, but he needed to know how to explain that to everyone. No angel would listen if a demon was saying that. In both the angel's and the demon's minds, their sole mission was to kill the other. But Ares was different. And he was hoping that this angel squadron leader was different as well.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal went wide eyed as the demon brought his face closer. "Y-you...damn demon! How am I supposed to believe you?!," he snapped, struggling once again! "The light shall turn you to ash!," Izeal rose his hand towards the other's face and a tiny ball of light started to form in the middle of his palm.

[CesareB]

In response, Ares dodged, but only in the nick of time and sent the angel flying elsewhere. Any second longer, and he would have ended up pulverized. Ares touched his cheek and cursed to himself. So, that angel had left a mark on hi,. Enraged, he looked around for the angel.

 

"I was speaking, you damned angel! It is rude to interrupt people, you know?!"

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal had no idea what to do now. He used up all his powers, leaving himself as vulnerable as mortal. He decided that he'd take cover and refrain his power before he attacked again. Getting up from the place he landed onto, he ran about the village, searching for a suitable place to hide.

[CesareB]

Ares finally cooled off and rushed away, understanding that he was being surrounded by bloodthirsty angels. That squadron head angel… well, he was an interesting sight to behold. Not only was he good looking, but he also seemed like a hothead. But Ares found it amusing that suck an angel held so much pride in his race. He looked at his hands. It was clear to Ares that he and the angel were completely different.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal waited in hiding for awhile. Feeling his powers regenerate, he came out, only to be greeted by the squad. "Izeal-dono, I think it's time for you to go home," one cleared his throat. " what of the demons?!," Izeal looked at his comrade. "Dealt with," another chuckled. Izeal felt guilt wash over him. He basically let his comrades do all the work. He went against the codes. " you try to comfort me with sleep when you know of my wrong doing!," Izeal clenched his fist. He knew what had to be done. " my punishment is well deserved. Farewell my comrades."

 

Izeal watched with sorrow as the squadron returned to the heavens.

[CesareB]

Ares felt himself being pulled back to the human village that had found it's self in the middle of a fight between the angels and the demons. He could feel the curse marks drain away as he melted back into his human looking body. Back in his human form, Ares roamed the area, listening to the left over humans. They all sounded petrified, almost as though they had seen death itself. As Ares was leaving, a certain white haired angel caught his eye.

 

He moved closer and asked, "Why're you here alone?"

[Akane Hiroshima]

"You.....you!," Izeal drew his sword. "What business do you have with me now?," he grew alarmed. He knew better than to blame others for his wrong doings, but he was angry! If not for that demons interruption, he wouldn't be exiled like this!

[CesareB]

Ares watched as the angel waved his sword at him in anger.

 

He shook his head. "You're still here? I would have expected you to leave with your squadron. What happened?"

 

Ares totally ignored the sword that was pointed at him. What could an angry angel do? It was always best to fight when calm and composed. If the angel didn't know that, then he felt like giving up on all of everyone's life. That… if the angels didn't train their fighters to remain calm…

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal wanted to rip the demon apart so bad right now. Just tear his head from his body and....

 

Izeal shook his head. No, such impure thoughts should not come to mind. He had to calm down; breathe. If he ever wanted to be redeemed, he had to stay good. Staying good on earth was hard. It was always said that humans could have great influence on others in both good and bad ways.

[CesareB]

Ares sighed in frustration. Did that angel only know how to ignore people? The demon decided to try again.

 

"My name is Ares. And what is yours?"

 

Ares extended his left hand to the angel, trying his best to remain calm. He could see that the angel calmed himself. Things would have gotten ugly if that angel would have attacked Ares in anger.

[Akane Hiroshima]

Izeal looked down at the hand extended towards him. "You want my name?," Izeal looked back at the demon. Who the hell was this guy, really? Izeal never met a demon who acted like this. "I don't trust you enough with my name, demon," Izeal rejected the hand shake and seethed his sword.
