It had been years since the bomb had gone off, destroying the island in the sky called Paradise. Many of the people on the island had died, a few had escaped. Those who had were separated through out the world. One of the boys who had died was given a new chance at life, released from a curse that had haunted him for years. That is how it began, that is how it all began to piece together after it had all been destroyed.
Two figures stood in the dark shadows of the castle,a whispered conversation barely heard above the blowing wind was going on. A little girl stood in front of the boy, she had a serious look on her tiny face.
'God is always watching," she said softly.
"So what,"replied the boy in annoyance.
"Hell is where you will end up..." She pointed down at the ground as she looked at his eyes.
"I'm already there,"he said solemnly. The girl stayed silent for a moment.
"How are you here then?"
"I... have something to do..." He pulled out a gun.
"Who... are you?," she squeaked.
"I... am Lucifer...now, Who the hell are you?" He glared at her, she gulped.
"I have no name anymore..."
"Then you have no reason to live?" He held back a laugh, she frowned.
"I agree.." She closed her eyes tightly.
The wind was silent, a shot was heard then the wind began to blow again as if nothing had happened. No more words were spoken, Lucifer put the gun away. The angel lay silent, her light faded as the blood pooled on the cobblestone road. Her small wings laid limp and broken on her back as the blood had stained her white dress red. He watched her for a moment and smiled. "Goodnight demon slayer... Amen"
The fallen angel walked off, humming a small lullaby. The angel that lay dying did not phase him in the slightest, he changed his clothes and let his wings stretch a bit. They were dark, larger than those of the little angel. He snickered, he walked back towards were he left the angel. He kicked her onto her side, she yelped. He squatted down, she looked up at him. He lifted her head up, she winced.
"What is your name?" She looked at the blade he had in his hand.
"Marie.." She coughed up blood and fainted, he pulled the bullet out of her and bandaged her chest tightly. He put a blanket around her after he took off her blood-stained dress. He brought her to his home and laid her face down on the bed so her could see her wings, they were broken to the extreme.
"These breaks aren't new... they've been broken and healed and broken many times in a row..." He folded her wings carefully, she cringed and woke up. "So you're awake now?" She was crying softly, he placed a blanket on her.
"Thank you... for sparing me" She pulled the blanket around herself tightly and sat up. He looked at her closely, her eyes were a light blue with a ring of yellow around her pupil and her hair was a light brown with blond streaks hidden in layers. He touched her cheek softly, she flinched and pulled the blanket tighter. "Please.. don't hurt me" He laughed softly, she began to tremble. He handed her a small dress and left the room. She put it on quickly, she tried to move her wings. She collapsed and screamed from the pain. Lucifer cam in and helped her stand, she held onto him tightly as she writhed in pain. He grabbed her wings at the base, she gasped. He said something softly, her wings dissapeared. She took deep breaths.
"Your wings will heal eventually Marie, you can go now." She looked up at him sadly, she held onto him tightly. "Do you want to stay little angel?" She nodded, he sighed. "Ok" He sat her on the bed. "I'll be right back..." She nodded, he left the room.

He sat on the roof and looked up at the stars that glowed softly in the cloudy night sky. The small flute echoed softly in the silence as he continued the melody. Marie came and sat by him silently, she closed her eyes and let the melody fill her mind.
"Do you like this melody Marie?" She smiled and looked up at the moon as it floated out from behind the clouds. "I miss it..."
"Sir, what do you miss?" He looked at the dark roof and frowned, she did too. "I'm sorry..."
"Mani was her name, She was my love... my life... she was taken from me. The war, it killed everyone.. Junior," he paused for a moment trying to fight the tears. "He escaped but, i don't know what happened to him after that... The island burned away... nothing was left and... Kage, Julie, Judas, Mani, Juinior and I are the only survivors. I'm not sure about the others... I was freed from my seal and... I can't sense them anymore..." He held her close like a teddy bear. "I miss her so much," he said sadly. He cried as he held her, she began to sing softly.
"Sir, I'll help you find her. I promise!" He nodded, he let go of her a little.
"Thank you Marie..." He sat up and began to play the melody again. She took out a small clay ocarina and started to play the melody along with him. He stopped playing as she continued, he began to sing softly. "As the roses bloom, a wish of yours is made. Memories of loved ones past soon begin to fade.... Memories of past lives came they made her heart so tame again... The one I love, I went to her to take away the pain... War broke out with little wait it left our island desolate... I left her happy memories so she could sleep again... As the roses withered away there's nothing more for me to say... My love and I together we die in front of the shining gate..." He stopped singing, the melody died as tear ran down his face. "She's so far... I don't know if she's ok or not." Marie placed her hand on his shoulder lightly.
"Sir... please...we'll find her." She tugged on his sleeve as she walked towards the door that led back to the inside of the house. "Sir... please come back inside before it begins to rain again..." He nodded and went inside.

A shadowy figure walked through the burning wasteland that the fire had left behind. He collapsed, he had been shot in the arm. "Somebody...help me..." He got up slowly, he continued walking towards the forest's remains. He made it to the clearing in the center of the forest. He leaned against a tree, he ripped his sleeve off carefully. He cringed as he got the bullet out, he cleaned it as best he could and threw the bullet to the ground. He leaned his head against the tree as he looked up at the cloudy sky. Even the moon looked as if it had been stained with blood. He could smell the death in the air, the blood and rotting remains that had long been gone still reeked in the air. "This... is where that man killed Jitsu... He almost got me too... dad... where are you..." He closed his eyes. "Rekka" He pressed the flame spirit to the wound. He clenched his teeth as his skin sizzled. A girl stepped out of the tree line, he stayed silent and watched her. Her fair skin seemed ghostly in the red moon's dim light, her pale green eyes matched the color of the few trees that had been cleansed of blood. She had pointed ear, she was very petite compared to anybody he had ever seen except a child. She sat in front of him, he held his breath as her face hovered inches from his. "Who are you?" She placed her hand lightly on his arm, he cringed.
"My name is Saria... My father has told me about you Junior. I Know where you can rest, I own a bakery. You're hurt.. let me help you." He nodded, she helped him stand up. They walked into the trees and away from the smell of death. As they walked deeper into the forest they heard animals moving around, she smiled as she saw a fox. He saw the ivy covered mansion in the midst of the taller trees.
"Can I rest there?" She looked at the mansion and nodded. As they walked towards it he remembered his parents and Jitsu. The door itself was covered in rust and mold, he touched it lightly. It swung open, creaking loudly until it banged softly against the wall. He smelled a fire from the fireplace. He leaned against the wall carefully and slid down it so he could sit. "i remember this place..." He looked at the fire, he hummed a small melody. "As the roses bloom a wish of yours is made..." The was a creaked in the next room, a figure stepped out from behind the corner.
"Who's there?" Saria walked toward the figure. "D...da...Dante's daughter" Saria stepped back, she placed her hand over her mouth. The figure stepped into the dim light of the fireplace. Junior's face lit up.

Judas stepped out of the bar, he whistled a tune as the souls of the dead floated slowly behind him. He looked up at the red moon, he frowned. "Humans... they're so stupid..." The souls vanished, his scythe turned a deeper red. His bony hands gripped it tightly as the wind blew past ominously. He had sent many souls away in his existence, their anger began to consume him. A fox looked up at him as he pressed the scythe to the door of the bar. It burned a slash into the wood, he looked at it. "Damn.... these mortals... things have changed so much since back then... I'm sick of this..." He looked at the fox. "Its been awhile." The fox smiled, its turned into a small boy with fox ears and 9 tails. "KiGami AKA Kiko"
"Hai." He bowed slightly. Judas did the same. "I hate these mortals too, they burned my forest.. killed all the animals.. ugh i hate them all." Judas nodded, he looked at the small god and tried not to laugh. He walked off again, Kiko continued to plant saplings in the ground around the soulless corpses.
"This curse... Aii... it will never end..." He held his bony hand up to the red moon and looked at the runes on it. The world around him blurred, he felt himself being pulled away to another area where his job was meant to be done. He saw a small angel, she looked at him and smiled a little. "Why are you smiling at death little girl?" She faded, her soul floated quietly in front of him. "Aii... Marie I remember you and your parents... I see why you've come, you want to try and set me free again." The soul floated around him, he nodded. Lucifer came out of the shop, he saw the Shinigami.
"What happened to Marie!" He drew his guns and aimed at the reaper. Judas turned, he slid his hood off. His dark gray eyes stood out against his ghastly pale skin, his hair was as black as a raven. There was an amulet around his neck, his hands were flesh again. He smiled for a moment.
"Shoot me! Kill me!" Lucifer glared. "There's no reason for me to keep existing! I can't take it anymore! All the hatred, all the pain... I can't take it anymore... I can't go on like this..." Lucifer steadied his aim, he shot through Judas's arm, blood sprayed. Through the hole in the cloak Lucifer saw Judas's skeleton arm. "I am cursed.... I can never die because I am death... I am cursed for all eternity...Marie wants to help so much but she's been long dead and my curse is too strong..." Judas looked at the soul as it floated just in front of his lips. They were in the forest clearing were it all had begun. "This place... the only reason why it is still standing is because Jitsu's hourglass, his essence and being, are buried in the center to protect this area." He looked up at the red moon. "Akai Tsuki... aii... I have goosebumps on my bones... Something big is going to happen tonight vampire..." Lucifer looked up at the moon.
"I'm not a vampire anymore, the book was burned... I died but, they gave me a second chance. I am somewhat mortal" He muttered a small spell, his wings spread carefully. Judas looked at him, he smiled.
"Lucifer the fallen angel, Oh wow... so original Heh. So what will Mani think? Will she reject you? Will she fear you? We are just yards away from her mansion, will your heart let you talk to her?" Lucifer looked at him, Judas saw the sadness in his eyes.
"I hope she will understand... I love her with all my heart." He turned to walk to the mansion, Judas placed his hand on his shoulder. The small spirit had turned a light pink, it continued to float behind him. "I have you and Marie to help, it'll all be OK in the end I think." Judas nodded, he patted him on the shoulder.
"Aren't you happy that I'm a merciful death instead of a merciless one? I would've let the plague run a few more decades if I was merciless." Lucifer shuddered. "Ha, I'm better than Dante. He's the merciless God of Life, I can't believe we were brothers before we were cursed with the tasks of being Gods. Sad isn't it?"
"I guess so but, I like the fact that you don't go up and kill people every time you're angry at the world." Judas frowned.
"It's not my emotions, its the emotions of the souls that I've taken. The souls that have pure hatred, pure sadness, it all is absorbed into my scythe. The only way I can die is if a soul with pure love and happiness is sent to the wrong afterlife... That is something I don't want to do yet but, I'm sure that if I can send your old soul to Hell then I'll be set free. Mani has that part of your soul, if she forgives you it'll be set loose and I can die." Lucifer nodded, they stood at the mansion's door. Lucifer opened it and saw Mani standing in front of the fire.

"Mani..." He looked at her and smiled softly. "I haven't seen you since the island was destroyed." She nodded, she hugged him tightly.
"I missed you Lucifer.." She kissed him softly, Judas disappeared into the shadows as the souls were released. He smiled, he was free from his curse too.
"Thank you, now I can finally die. Being Death is the hardest thing in this world. The gods will bless you for what you have done." His scythe shattered and turned into a small hair clip, the small pink soul turned into a ghostly figure. Maire curtsied and began to fade.
"Thank you sir, now I can be with my parents again in Heaven." Lucifer smiled, she handed him a small box. "If anything turns really bad open that box please, I know it will help you." She vanished, Lucifer smiled and closed his hand around the box. He turned back to Mani, he hugged her tightly again. The moon's red color disappeared as the clock tower chimed.
"Requiescat in pace" Mani giggled, she kissed him softly.
"Rest in peace, trying to quote Mr Poe aren't you?" He smiled and walked with her up to the piano room, all was right to him. He smiled softly as he played the lullaby again.
