Both Yeong and Izumi went to buy what Hisao asked and came home to find a lifeless angel on the floor, Blood everywhere, and everything wrecked.
“Hisao! Izumi said running to him seeing if he was still alive.
“Izumi… you have to find the lost scroll of Denketsu. And restore our lost harmony with the Jigoku.”
Looking at the lifeless body he quickly packed all necessary items to journey to Jigoku.
“Where are you gonna go?” Yeong asked
“I don’t know yet, but for one thing I must fix harmony.” Izumi responded
Night rested upon them. While Izumi finished packing, his wings started to turn black. He quickly grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around his wings. Yeong grabbed the blanket and threw it off. With shock and fear in Izumi’s eyes he looked at Yeong in the eyes and tears streaming down his eyes. Yeong took his wrist and put his hand on izumi’s head.
“Don’t cry.”Yeong said softly
Izumi was confused at his reaction.
“I’m not an Angel like others you see in Gakushuu.” Izumi said
“I’m not a jigoku you would see in others.” Yeong replied with a faint smile.
Yeong smiled. Izumi felt a sudden stop in his heart. He let Izumi go and he grabbed his stuff and they both left leaving an empty house with only memories in it.
“I guess this is Good-bye. I’ll see you” Izumi said with a tear in his eye
Yeong grabbed his hand and flew off to Gakushuu academy dorms.
“Let go, I have to leave and find a different home to stay in. I can’t keep relying on you for help.” Izumi yelled
Yeong stopped and looked at Izumi with the most hurt and angry eyes he had ever seen.
“I can’t let you take care of me.” Izumi muffled
“I want you to rely on me. I...” Yeong said pausing
He paused thinking he is the only friend he has, he doesn’t want to lose him because of three words.
“Just let me take you i go back to Jigoku in a few days so stay with me please” Yeong said with a faint smile looking at Izumi.
Surprised, Izumi didn’t know he could only stay for a year here. He looked so hurt telling Izumi.
They went to the dorms and stayed there together.
“Each dorm only houses one person but I believe there is enough space for us.”
Opening the door to his room, Izumi looked inside, seeing how beautiful it was. Looking around he saw one bed.
“I wonder if he can sleep in the same bed. Will it be enough space?”
Izumi thought.
“I'll take your stuff. You can sleep on the bed. I'll lay a futon on the floor.” Yeong said
“Your bed is enough for two, why not sleep together?” Izumi replied
“It might be hot for you.” Yeong said looking straight into Izumi’s eyes
“It’s winter. I get cold easily.” Izumi said nervously
“Is that why he was next to me?”Yeong thought
“Ok.” Yeong replied after some time
Yeong showered thinking about his wings.
“Why are they black?”he kept thinking
He got out and saw Izumi passed out on the bed. He laid him down gently and fell asleep thinking about another person who had these wings. Izumi woke up in the middle of the night looking at Yeong sleeping, and his heart beated faster.
“I’m still here, you don’t have to look at me.” Yeong smirked
“Sorry.” Izumi said flushed
Izumi moved closer to Yeong
“About my wings…” he started
“I know” Yeong interrupted him
“You aren’t afraid?” Izumi asked
“No, why would I be?”Yeong said looking at him
“...”
Izumi couldn’t say anything. For 16 years he had to hide his wings.
“We're already adults so let’s stay together when I get out of this place. Okay…” Izumi said hazily
“Okay” Yeong said looking up at the ceiling above.
Sleeping soundly as morning came Yeong woke up and saw Izumi was gone.
“Izumi!” Yeong shouted
“Yeah? I made breakfast.” Izumi said walking in the room with a tray of food.
“Thank you.” Yeong said
“Yeah”Izumi replied while pouring a glass of water
Smiling Yeong, he ate the food and went to class.
“ Izumi, I'm back, you ok?” Yeong asked peaking in the dorm room.
Seeing Izumi passed out on the chair. He woke him up.
“You wanna go somewhere?”
“Yeah!” Izumi said jumping up from his chair
Sparkling eyes looking at Yeong as they got ready to go.
“Wow it’s amazing here better than our market stalls.” Izumi said while running to a stall full of prizes and games.
“Oh look over here!” Izumi shouted.
As time passed Yeong and Izumi sat down on a nearby arched tree.
“Yeong, I…” Yeong said pausing
“What is it?” Yeong asked
“I… wanted to say thank you for today, I had fun” Izumi said finishing his sentence.
Yeong looked at Izumi and smiled briefly.
“I shouldn’t tell him he might have some else he likes.” Izumi thought
“Today is our graduation day so I wanted to spend it with you.” Yeong said
“I’m glad you did” Izumi said smiling whole heartedly.
Looking at Yeong, his eyes gazed down to the floor and that same hurt in his eyes, he had the night Hisao died.
“Always together, promise?” Izumi said
Yeong looked at Izumi with his pinky out. He wrapped his pinky around Izumi’s
“Promise.”
They started to head back and saw a fight break out in the streets.
“Dude, chill out.” guy 1 said
“Give me my money back!” Guy 2 replied
Guy 2 landed a punch to the other guy and threw him across the street hitting a table and breaking it.
“Yeo, we should stop this.” Izumi said looking at the damage.
They ran in the fight Yeong fought with guy 2 and Izumi helped the other guy on the floor near the smashed table.
“Are you okay?” Izumi asked the guy
“Yeah. That guy is drunk. I was working in that stall and he said our beer wasn’t good.” Said guy 1
Yeong used his jigoku power and made the guy fall down unconscious.
Yeong picked the unconscious guy up and gave him to the street patrollers.
“Let’s head back Yeo” Izumi said while walking in front of Yeong
Smiling and Yeong, Izumi saw him turn red.
“Mmm” Yeong replied trying to seem as normal as possible.
The man bowed down looking at both Izumi and Yeong.
“Thank you for your help” said guy 1
“No problem!” Izumi said
Izumi and Yeong walked back to the dorms. Izumi passed out on the bed while Yeong started packing.
The next morning Izumi woke up with Yeong next to him. He laid back down looking at him and remembering the kiss. He touched his face wondering if it was visible to see his blushing. But he also remembered he had to go back to jigoku today. He quickly got up and packed his things, leaving it next to Yeong bag. Yeong woke up and felt a hand on his neck.
“I-I-Izumi!?” Yeong whispered trying to not wake him
Izumi woke up and saw Yeong’s face red. He got up and put his hand on Yeong’s head.
“Do you have a fever?” Izumi said
Yeong looked down and replied
“No, I don’t” Yeong said backing away just a little.
He looked at Yeong and started to blush as well remembering everything that happened and his leave to jigoku. Izumi hugged Yeong by the waist.
“W...w...what are you doing?” Yeong stuttered.
As they brought their things out and headed towards the borders he saw the guy that got punched and remembered him.
“Yeo, it’s the guy from yesterday.” Izumi said
Izumi walked up to him and said hello and they discussed a few things.
“May I ask who you are?” Izumi asked formally
“I am Huang from jigoku. I moved here for a better life and hope to meet my son in the future.” Said guy 1
“Do you know your son’s name? I will travel over and perhaps I can give a message.” Izumi asked
“His name is Yeong, but he doesn’t remember me in his life. I had to make money to live and send him money to have a better life.” Said Huang
“I will tell him about how hard you work.” Izumi said walking backwards
Bowing down to the man he left to go back to Yeong.
“Yeo, do you know your father?” Izumi asked shyly
“I didn’t have parents, only my brother, Yua.” Yeong said
“ Good bye, Huang!”Izumi shouted
Waving his hand to Huang, they left heading towards jigoku…
As day turned to night Izumi was frightened of how dark it became. He clutched to Yeong's tunic staying close.
“Are you ok?” Yeong asked
He touched Izumi’s hand holding on to it.
“I’m ok…” Izumi replied cautiously
Weary of his surroundings Yeong stopped and listened to the Forest.
“Something isn’t right.” Yeong whispered
Izumi looked at Yeong, seeing a stern face.before Izumi could react Yeong flew up still holding Izumi’s hand and looked from below. Izumi shut his eyes and held onto Yeong.
“Are you able to fly or not?” Yeong said
Izumi looked at Yeong. Yeong looked at him seeing his fearful eyes.
“I can fly, I was just startled.” Izumi said flapping his wings but still staying close to Yeong
“Let’s fly from here the ground isn’t safe.” Yeong said looking down on the forest seeing a moving figure
“Ok” Izumi said following closely
They started their way towards the west. Izumi became tired and fell from the sky. Yeong saw and flew down to catch him. He carried him to a village nearby and saw an inn he went inside and asked for a room.
“Will that be one room or two, sir?” The lady asked
“One will be fine.” Yeong said cluelessly
“Right this way sir.” The Lady said while walking to the room.
The lady showed them to a fancy dimmed room.
“Here is your room.” The lady said
“Thank you” Yeong said bowing
The lady gave him the keys and he closed the room and locked it. He laid Izumi on the weird-shaped bed and placed the keys on a stand next to Izumi.
“Uh… I’ll shower and then sleep” Yeong whispered to himself
He quickly showered and got in the bed. He looked at Izumi sleeping peacefully and fell asleep. The next morning Izumi woke up on a weird bed and saw it was a couples room. Blushing at what he saw.
“Why is he shirtless…?” Izumi thought
His curious mind got him to uncover the blanket and see if he was indeed naked.
“Whew… he isn’t. Then why is he…” Izumi Thought
Izumi looked at him and looked back and thought of something.
“No,no,no!” he shaking his head
Izumi got on top of Yeong waking him up.
“Izumi what are…” Yeong said pausing.
“What happened last night?” Izumi asked
“What do you mean?” Yeong replied
Izumi pulled his necklace.
“What happened last night?”
“You fell out of the sky and I carried you all the way over here and I took a shower and forgot to put on a shirt. What could I do to you?” Yeong said coldly
“This is a couple room, where lovers go to do it!” Izumi said letting go of his necklace.
“Is that why it is strange?” Yeong said clueless.
“You didn’t know?!” Izumi said freaking out.
Yeong shook his head and looked completely oblivious to what was strange.
“Who gave you this room?” Izumi finally said
“A lady who worked here.” Yeong answered
“That makes it worse!” Izumi yelled grabbing his stuff
As they got out of the room Yeong handed the keys to the same lady and thanked her.
“Did you have a pleasant night?” The woman asked
“Yes I slept well. Thank you again” Yeong said
“Let’s go.” Izumi said with an embarrassed face, grabbing Yeong by his shirt.
They continued west.
“Izumi!” Yeong yelled with his eye wide open.
Yeong pushed Izumi to the side and saw a beast with bared fangs and blood on the floor. Yeong looked at Izumi laying on the floor, blood streaming down from his side. Yeong was infuriated at the sight. He pulled his sword out from his wings and fought the beast with what he learned in Gakushuu academy. The beast lost sight of Yeong and he split his body in half and tore everything of the beast until only scraps of fur and bones were left.
