[[Bump]]

{After Tomorrow, or tomorrow, i'll give a good reply. My AP Calculus test will be done with and i won't be stressed as much.}

[[Yay! Alright! I cant wait to get this going again :)]]

{finally done and free from the stress of AP *censored*!! :D okay, now my reply.}

The two demons stayed where they were. Ieroe was still pressing on her chest, but when she grabbed his leg, he looked down at her, his eyes still an electric blue color from all the excitement he had experienced a bit before. She brought out the worst in him and he didn't care about that right now. He growled when she grabbed him and was about to stomp his foot down harder, but she spoke out loud to him. He let out a small chuckle at her words. He made his wings disappear. Both of them vanishing in a puff of black smoke and a sizzle as if they were burning. He put a little more height on his foot that was currently on her chest. Just a bit more and I could probably snap a rib into her lung... He smiled at her, the same Cheshire cat like smile he wore before. He growled through the smile.

"Just because you give up doesn't mean I won't just brutally hurt you in a way that makes it impossible for you to be recognized or well enough to try and explain what in hell's name happ-"

"Ieroe, cut it out."

Ieroe snapped his attention to the voice that spoke to him, which happened to be his brothers. He knew that voice by heart and could never mistake it. His brother's voice was calm and cold like his powers. His electric blues met his brother's laser greens. His eye twitched at being told to stop messing with the angel. She threatened his brother and that was something Ieroe was not going to stand for, but if his brother didn't want him attacking her, then he couldn't do anything about it. His brother was stronger and would surely hurt him for hurting her when he had already said to stop. Ieroe let out a huff and took his foot off her chest, but before he completely got off, he brought his hand back and down, claws out, towards her hand that was hanging onto his pants.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skellig could already predict his brother's movement and ran towards his brother, as fast as he could, he wasn't as fast as his brother, but he could do okay. He ran and tackled his brother before flapping his wings, sending a cold blast of air at the ground, frost covered the grass where the gust hit. He had them both airborne and his brother's clawed hand was now digging at least two inches into his bicep. He hissed slightly and looks down at the angel that Ieroe had been about to attack.

"Consider yourself Lucky i stopped him. Now, answer me. You have others coming. true or false?"

Skellig let his blood run down his arm and drip onto the grass below when it reached his elbow. He looked at the pool of blood he was creating but then turned his attention to his brother, who was digging his nails deeper and growling like a mad dog.

{sprry it's so short!! I had no clue what to do... :( }

[[Bump]]

{bump?}

[[I will post today after school!]]

[[Bump^^]]

[[I'll post tomorrow if Ruru doesn't.]]
[[So, this is pretty much a bump :p ]]

(sorry guys.. o.o i just graduated and all that jazz....)

Ieroe continued to dig his nails into his brother's arm, not really caring that he could feel the warmth of his brother's blood dripping down his arm. His nails dug deeper, creating a bigger wound. He growled and hisses and struggled to get away from his stronger twin. He heard her oh so annoying voice in his head and growled louder, until he actually looked down and saw that, in fact, his nails were digging quite deeply into his brother's arm. He saw the trickle of blood that continued to pool below them. He quickly let go and looks down at his bloodied hand. His eyes  got a little watery and he ran his hand over the wound, wanting it to start healing. It startefd to heal but not as quickly as it should have since it was created by another demon. He glared at the angel who was on the floor.

"I shoul dhave killed you when I h-"

"Enough!"

Skellig released his twin and watched as his brother landed on the floor with a thud. He looked at the angel who was about to leave. His voice became loud and demanding.

"Angel! Do not fly away! I will hunt you down, should you!"

He returned his attention to the girl that was on the floor. His eyes now a dangerous electric green. He growled and flew over to her. He hovered close to her, close enough to lash out at her shoudl she do something stupid. He looked her in the eyes, her grey eyes stood out to him and he made a small hum or approval. He didn't know why he saved her, but whatever. He didn't really care. He breathed out, his cold breath ghosting over her face.

"I see that you speak truth. Tell me. What is your purpose with being here? You cannot have just decided that you'd go demon hunting."

(sorry it's super short, but i have no clue what to do with the twins right now.... :( )

[[Awe! Didja hear that Rabbah, our Ru graduated! Congradulation! Let us know if you need a few weeks to settle into college and stuff, whenever that time may roll around.

[[u so punny, Leo. And congrats Ruru :3 ]]

Fray just barely heard the demon yell at him. He hesitated for a second, then two, then three, carefully hovering above the treeline and nibbling on his lip. He was out of danger, right? If he flew away, he would have a huge head start, and if one of the demons tried to follow him, then it might give the other angel a chance to escape. Or they might just kill her and chase after him, in which he would be risking human lives by flying to the city. He didn't know how fast the demons were, but they were strong, and they would hunt him down if they had to.

Fray made his decision and slowly drifted back down, landing only about twenty feet away from the demons. The green-eyed one had moved away from his brother and towards the angel. He was saying something, but Fray didn't manage to catch it. He pulled his wings back and folded them neatly against his back, trying to look less skittish than he actually was. Keeping his eyes on the two demons, the angel pulled off his headphones and put them around his neck.

He closed his eyes and listened to the music dancing in the air, getting a feel for it. He quickly picked out the angels, but the demon's mixed together, creating a strange blend. Had the demons' death song been an actual song they would have been decent apart, and magical if they were played together.

"The- They already know." Kyle choked out. "The Feds, I mean. They know, and they don't care one bit." He added, deepening his lie. How long was this going to continue? He flicked his eyes at the clock and read the time. He had an hour or so before it was time to close up shop. Too long, in his opinion. An hour with this girl breathing down his back, asking questions? He'd rather not have that happen.

Kyle turned his attention back to his plants. He had wanted to get this batch done, so it could be put out for tomorrow, but he didn't want to give it the magical touch he usually gave to plants with Akuti hovering over his shoulder. He would just have to do it tomorrow. Maybe he could come in early to finish up. He started cleaning up the counter, moving the tiny plastic pots with stems poking out to the side.

And then suddenly, while glancing up at the girl, Kyle had an epiphany. She was toying with him. She knew what he was, a mutation with abilities humans should not have. She knew, and yet, she was still here. That meant either she didn't care and wasn't going to tell anyone, or she wanted something from him to keep her quiet. Kyle narrowed his eyes at the girl.

"You said your name was Ah-cut-eey?" He asked, pronouncing it wrong. "Are you suggesting that you are going to snitch on me?"

[[u so useless, Fray :u]]

Skellig stared at the angel as she seemed to register that he was in front of her. He was getting impatient with angels, but hell, he needed answers. He looked at the girl and his eyes continued to stare at hers. She spoke to him in his head once again. A rabbit's eyes huh? Well, that seems like something you would know how to do since you are angel. They all have odd powers that they alone have. He stared at her and straightened himself up when she started to speak as though he was trash. HIs own race was something that she despised and it was quite entertaining to say the least. He loved how she was just so disgusted with his race. It was funny all the same and he just had to let out a hearty laugh. His laugh died down into a chuckle and he looked at her, his green eyes now a bit duller, but his smile was wider than before, revealing his pointed canines.

"You are quite the hearty young angel, aren't you? And don't you think that if I wanted to steal your precious powers, or drain you of said powers, I would have done so by now? Would I have stopped my own brother from ripping your throat out? Should I have let him just take your powers or something like that? Don't you believe that I could do it right as we are speaking and you would have no idea that I was?"

He gave her a small chuckle and hovered closer to her, his eyes once gain blazing green. His eyes focused on her and never once did they flicker or show any sign of fear in their depths. In fact, his eyes posed a challenge for her to say that he couldn't have done any one of those things while she was on the floor. He smiled and purred a low, demonic purr. He huffed out and his icy breath ghosted her face once more. He liked how he could see small ice cyrstals forming on her eyelashes. He was going to like this angel. He hovered lower and dropped himself to the ground before be plopped down and sat cross legged in front of her.

"You said you want to talk, then talk. I am the more patient of the two of us, yet he is the more emotional one. NOw, I have revealed to you a bit about ourselves, how about you be a courteous little angel and tell me about yourself then tell me what you want to talk about. I can keep my brother at bay only for a few hours at a time, so be quick about what you're going to say."

He smiled at her, a smile that could make him seem like the nicest man alive. A grade smile. He even made his wings disappear and his nails went back to their human size.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ieroe glared at his brother's back, not believing what he was just put through. Typically his brother wouldn't think about harming him, even if from a fall. So maybe he went a little to far with the angel? He shrugged and stayed on the floor for a couple moments. He was getting tired and when he saw the other angel returning to them, he got an idea. He smiled and his wings appeared as his brother's disappeared. He flapped them hard and was off like a lightning bolt. His wings, well the air pushed from them, singed the grass below but didn't set it on fire. He flew quickly to the male angel and flew over him and around him.

He giggled and stopped to hover just eye level with the angel since he was taller than himself. He hissed slightly at that fact but then pushed it aside. He grinned at the angel and purred. He looked him over, up and down, down and up. He nodded and ghosted his lava hot breath over the angel's face.

"Ya know, you aren't very fast, are ya?"

He purred out and grinned wider. He did like how this angel looked and considered that maybe he would be able to befriend him in some way. Then again, his own aunt was after his tail and this angel was a worked of the Almighty. He shook his head at his thoughts. Befriending an angel was pretty much unheard of.

"Anyways , since you're not backup, who are you? And what are you doing here? You can't have just wanted to find a demon on earth."


(finished!)

Fray recoiled and snapped open his eyes as hot air puffed into his face. The blue-eyed demon was hovering around him, looking him over a few times. The angel tried not to wince back at the scrutiny, feeling slightly uncomfortable. He had never been so close proximity to a demon before, and never, never in such a precarious situation with one so near. Fray had never had trouble with demons before now; he had talked to one or two across a room once or twice, inquiring about certain people. He had found that demons could be cold and heartless, but also laid back and uncaring about species' differences at times.

"I've never really had a need or reason to fly fast, I guess. I'm Fray." He said, shrugging, then blinked. Was it rude to shrug to a demon? And, should he offer the demon his hand to shake? There was so many things the he didn't know about demons, even though he had spent years learning about them to prepare for Earth Duty. Fray had never bothered to pay any attention to the lessons; he had always assumed that he would never meet a demon one-on-one like he was now, that there would be someone with useful powers that could protect/get him out of danger. He wished now that he had paid attention like he was supposed to; offending the demon would most likely be very, very bad.

With the demon so close to him, Fray could pick out his song, separating it from his brother's and filing it away into his memory, figuring that he might need to know which brother was which in the future. Now that he could hear the blue-eyed demons song without it being mixed with his brother's, Fray could appreciate it more. Demon's songs were typically slow for some reason, but his was a bit quicker. There were many instruments, the angel suspected at least ten, but he could only pick out two, a cello and... Was that a bass? He had only come a cross a song with a bass a few times; it was rare because it was a newer instrument. It would probably be more common in a few hundred year's time, but for now it was quite uncommon.

"I'm, uh," Fray started, trying to push the demon's song out of his mind. It was the kind of song that he could spend hours admiring, but he didn't have the time for that. "I'm just one of the angels on Earth Duty. I, err, hear people's death songs, and that's about it. I was trying to get away from the city's noise, and when I passed you guys overhead, I could hear your song, and it startled me." 'Startled' was an understatement; he had nearly passed out from the intensity of it, but Fray suspected that admitting that he almost fainted from just being near the brothers wasn't the right thing to say at the moment. "It was, um, really, really loud, like stereo-on-full-blast-right-next-to-your-head loud, as well as very complex. I came down to see who or what produced it."

Fray tilted his head, looking over the demon. "Why are you in such terrible danger?" He murmured, not understanding. Other than the fact that he was very strong, the demon didn't look anything unusual.

~~~

Kyle scowled at the girl. He had been frightened for nothing. He turned and took the pot in one hand, and Akuti's hand in his other. He placed their hands on top of the soil, leaving the stem in between their fingers. He closed his eyes and breathed out, then in, then out again, calming himself. Slowly, he allowed his magic to flow through the girl's hand and into the soil. From there, the roots took the magic, and the plant's cells went on hyper-drive.

Kyle opened his eyes and watched, impassive, as the stem started to lengthen and grow leaves. A bud formed at the tip and enlarged, then turned a reddish tint, then, ultimately, opened, revealing a tulip head. Kyle slid his hand off of Akuti's, severing his magic from the plant, and it ceased its growth. He dropped his hand to the side and inspected the plant before letting go of the pot. The flower was perfect and looked like something that had come out of a magazine.

"You can keep that if you want; it's not going to last more than a day, though." That was the problem with his magic; not only did it speed up a plant's growth, but it also shortened its life. Had the tulip grown on its own, it would have survived around a week in it's fully bloomed form. There was a trick when it came to his magic: only use a bit at one time, otherwise the plant would die sooner than planned. Kyle had gotten better at limiting himself with his magic the more he used it, but the problem with using less magic was that it took longer for the plant to grow.
