Broken Circle

Rai slipped from beneath the cushy white comforter of her bed set and into the silk robe at the foot of the bed; her small feet moving soundlessly across the floor as she headed towards the bathroom and prepared her claw-foot porcelain tub so that she could bathe. She rummaged through the cabinet next to it and tossed in some bath salts and bath oil before slipping from her clothing and into the water; while at the same time pinning her long blonde hair up into a bun. She rested against the back of the tub and closed her eyes, not noticing the slender figure watching her from the trees.

Michael had been watching over the reincarnation of the first woman all night; sleeping lightly in the trees outside her window. He had dreamt about her and almost all of them had been erotic; he licked his lips, opening his golden eyes. If he ever got a hold of her, those dreams would seem like a kiddy movie. The sound of running water got his attention and he leapt silently to where the sound was coming from and watched transfixed as the girl took her clothes off and slipped into a steaming tub. His eyes widened at the sight of her naked breasts- they were even bigger than he thought they were. He smirked and licked his lips again, in anticipation of what was yet to come.

Oh yes. I am going to have lots of fun with her.

Later that morning at school, Rai walked down the school halls with her head bowed and her bearing like that of a survivor of a destroyed civilization. She sighed and came to a stop in front of her locker and twirled the dial to open the door; only to have it slammed shut. She recognized the leather band with metal on it to be one of the new males at the school.

“Michael,” she said, turning around and trying to move away from him. She knew she couldn’t expect help from the other students ever since the incident with Adam- they were scared of him. “What do you want?”

“To talk of course,” said Michael, following her as she moved slowly away from him.

“Why?”

“Why not? I find you very, very attractive.”

“I, I’m flattered,” stammered Rai, flushing slightly when she noticed his eyes locked on her chest and the bulge forming in his pants. She spun away from his view immediately, but that only cued the redhead to grab her around the stomach.

“Now why are you trying to avoid me?” Michael asked, “are you afraid of me?”

“Yes,” Rai answered.

“Mmm, an honest girl, I like that.” He kissed her n his his arms pushing up her breasts so cleavage would appear in the opening of her shirt. “Makes it all thre ire interesting…”

The blonde broke away from him, wheeling around to glare.

“First you get into a fight with Adam, then this…This bitch appears, and you and that blonde boy- who for some odd reason, isn’t here in school by the way- show up at my mansion just in time to save the day, and acted as if it’s a regular thing for you two! Of course I’m scared of you! I’m scared of your family too if your brother really sleeps with-”

She stopped right there at the rapid fuming look that Michael had adopted upon mention of his brother. Rai took a step back and gulped, waiting for the approaching explosion of Mt. Bipolar. What the redhead did was so unexpected she couldn’t process it right away, staring down at the crouching boy in confusion. When she finally did realize what he was down there for, she was too slow to stop him- the archangel was underneath her skirt and scampering away from her swinging book bag.

“You know- my favorite color is black!” He told her gleefully.

“YOU PERV!” She yelled and tossed her book bag at him; the redhead catching it in one hand and trotted over to return it like a bloodhound with a game bird. Rai blinked at the deed, accepting her bag back with a quiet thank you- which the redhead took as an invitation to trap her against the lockers.

“Let’s fuck,” he said, his hands already traveling up underneath her shirt.

“Let’s not and say we did!” Rai replied, her eyes searching desperately for help.

“What’s the fun in that?”

Michael blinked, then pulled up her top, grinning as he bent over to precede, when Rai kicked him off and yanked her shirt back down; stress and anger mixing into an unruly combination.

“NO MEANS NO, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!” She shrieked, “NOW LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE, BEFORE I CALL THE GODDAMN-”

“Murasaki Rai!”

The blonde spun around at the sound of her name, her face draining of color at the dean standing over her, tapping his foot impatiently. “Sensei-!”“Int“Into my office now,” than oan ordered, “both of you!”

Rai gulped, while the archangel shoved his hands into his pockets, sauntering calmly after the fuming authority.

“You should be ashamed of yourself, Murasaki,” the dean scolded her as he sat down behind his desk, “cursing like that.”

“He was-!”

“I know what he was doing,” the dean cut in, “he’s not getting off either.”

Michael grinned, mouthing ‘getting off’ to himself before snickering loudly, the dean turning his sharp glare to him.

“What’s your name, boy?”

“Michael,” the redhead answered calmly.

“Your last name?”

“Kira”

The blonde raised a skeptical eyebrow while the dean simply pushed his glasses further up the narrow bridge of his nose and shuffled the mess on his desk.

“Kira Michael?”

“Yes,” Michael said and folded his arms, “you have a problem with that?”

“No I don’t,” the dean answered, “I’m just going to need to call your parents about this-”

“My parents are dead,” Michael replied.

The dean blinked and corrected himself, “legal guardians.”

“That would be my older brother, Raphael,” the redhead responded dully, cleaning out his right ear with his pinky finger, “and he ran off last night. I dunno some artist thing- he’s trying to find himself.”

“He left you alone,” the dean concluded.

“I’m old enough to take care of myself,” Michael snapped.

The deidn’idn’t respond to that, flipping through a pamphlet. “Tomorrow is the start of Christmas break. Will your brother find himself before vacation is over?”

“Yes,” the redhead answered.

“Good, I’m going to need to talk to him about your…Inappropriate behavior. As for you, Murasaki, cursing is no reason to alert your parents, but I’m going to have to give you a detention with Kira.”

“What for?!”

“For irrational behavior,” he responded, “you should’ve come to me or another teacher if somebody is harassing you- or at least told Adam.”

Rai clenched her teeth, counting to five before finally nodding.

“Yes sir.”

“Good. I’m glad we’re all on the same page. By the way, Kira, I would like you to cut your hair in the back.”

“No,” said Michael. “I rather like my hair the way it is.”

“…Murasaki, you may leave us.”

______________________

I can’t believe the dean gave me a detention with him after what he tried to do to me Rai thought, walking down the hall. She couldn’t believe her luck- somehow she had a feeling that the red-haired gothic male would only use that time to find some way to harass her even more. Why couldn’t my parents have sent me to an all-girls’ school? Rai sighed.

Michael followed the girl out of the school building and down the block to her house. He wondered how the dean could not notice the girl’s dead boyfriend being missing from the scene for the past week. Then again, the dean probably spent more time watching the females, judging with how he was looking at Rai. He frowned again, why did the humans allow such scum around their offspring? A twisted grin formed on his face as an idea formed in his mind. He had a feeling that tonight would be a good night to get the girl into bed and see exactly how good the first woman was.

Lilith watched the red-haired angel of fire accost the girl again from her looking glass. She smiled and turned away from the mirror to Adam, who was lying on an elaborate bed and breathing heavily thanks to the heart that was slowly starting to construct itself in his chest. She smiled down at him and knew by the shifting of his eyes that he was aware of what was going on.

“You know, Adam,” said Lilith, running her hands down his face. “You are remarkably handsome, even though you did betray me for her.” Her fingers ran through his hair as she straddled his lap. “It is very sad, you know?” She asked him, not really expecting an answer; while shaking out her hair to reveal her breasts. “She is trying so hard to remain faithful even though you are by all rights dead, and she by all rights can choose another mate.” She smirked when she felt him harden underneath her. “You on the other hand, weren’t even that faithful to her; not even after you had her the first time were you? You were always doing it with one of the animals. Then again…” The demon said, unzipping his pants and lowering herself onto him. “You really are more animal than human. Giving into the basic needs like an animal.”

Lilith moaned and slowly began to rise up and down on him, gripping his shoulders tightly as the heart construction began to speed up. She started screaming in pleasure when she went faster and she felt his hands grip her hips and encourage her to move fast. When it was over she stared down at him, caressing his heaving chest. “Oh yes, Adam,” she taunted. “You really are more of an animal than a human- Eve would be so upset.”

Lilith climbed off of hum and left him lying on the bed; she had some more planning to do and wondered if the angel would ever get the first woman into bed with him. The girl had nearly succumbed to his advances last night, and with a little more pushing, she would be begging him to take her- and when she did, she would let Adam h thh the entire thing.

_______________________

She knew he was behind her; he had been following her for a long time now. Rai had finally had enough of him harassing her and she intended to put a stop to it right now.

The blonde didn’t give any sign of warning before breaking into a sprint, running as fast as she could in the direction of her home, although she knew very well that wasn’t going to spare anything since the redhead knew where she lived. She had to lose him; then find someone- anyone- who’d know how to help her. She had to get him out of her life, before she wound up dead like Adam- or worse. Rai didn’t dare slow down to check behind her whether he was chasing her or not; even though her legs were getting tired, she forced herself forward. She reached the crosswalk and something red winked in the corner of her eye, and the paranoid blonde shied away from it into the road. Later she would realize that it was a mailbox and not the redhead, but at the moment, what she was focused on was the truck speeding towards her, the metal titan calling to her to get out of the way, but she couldn’t move- ironically- like a deer caught in the headlights.

Another flash of red bounced in the corner of her eye; this time it was him, shoving the blonde to the ground and rolled with her out of harm’s way. Michael opened his eyes and blinked a couple times, registering the female clinging onto hime she she was going to die and grinned; taking advantage of the moment in full. Rai’s eyes snapped wide open as she realized where she was and shoved Michael away from her to stand up, trying to get away before he jumped her.

“Excuse me if I’m wrong, precious,” the archangel said, “but shouldn’t you be grateful to me for saving your life?”

“What kind of bastard uses thankfulness as an excuse to molest someone?” Rai demanded hotly.

Michael tsked. “You make me sound like some cold-hearted rapist. It’s not like I’m just going to use you for a quick orgasm. I believe in reciprocity.” He kissed her neck, sucking on the flesh before adding. “I know things that that jock couldn’t learn in a-”

He wasn’t given the chance to finish that sentence as the blonde wheeled around and smacked him clean across the face. Michael turned his head around, rubbing his wounded cheek before the female shrieked angrily and ran at him again, this time beating her fists into his chest. The archangel tried backing away, unsure of how to react to this assault until he finally snatched her wrists and pulled them away from him; glaring at her.

“What the Hell is your problem?”

“What’s my problem?! What the Hell is YOUR problem?!”

“My problem?!”

“What you’re doing is called stalking, Michael!” Rai informed him, “and I don’t know what they do wherever you’re from, but here it’s illegal!”

“Why are you making this into such a big deal?” Michael demanded, “it’s not like I’m going to kill you or something!”

“How am I supposed to trust you?” Rai asked, “I don’t know who you are!”

“You know my name,” he pointed out.

Rai snorted. “Kira Michael, which means your brother’s name, is Kira Raphael. Tell me, how did you come by that last name, when you don’t even look Japanese, and your first names are Italian?”

“Actually his name is Italian, mine is more universal,” the redhead replied, hesitating as Rai glared at him; then tilted his head. “What? You’ve got something against Italians?”

“You lied to the dean about your last name,” Rai told him, “and the only time people lie about their identity is when they’ve got something to hide!”

“Or they know the truth will invite more questions and they just don’t feel like dealing with them!” Michael snapped back; sighing as the blonde’s glare deepened. “I don’t have a last name,” he said finally, making it up as he went along. don don’t remember what our parents’ last names were, and my brother never registered us for another one because he doesn’t believe in them.”

“Am I supposed to believe that you’ve been living this whole time without a last name?” Rai wanted to know, “without legal troubles? What about registration? How the Hell have you two been living?”

“I told you- he is weird,” Michael responded, “a couple years ago we were in Paris for a vacation. Raphael went through three bottles of wine and thought he was Willy Wonka.”

Rai stared at him blankly. “…Willy Wonka…”

The redhead nodded. “It was funny until he brought home some barmaid named Chloe and insisted on role play.”

The girl’s eyes widened as Michael scratched the back of his head. The only bit of truth in there and it could very well get him into some serious shit. If Raphael ever found out he told somebody about that, he was going to rip his arm off and ass-rape him with it.

“Role play?” Asked Rai finally, blinking in confusion. “Your brother insisted on role playing?”

“Yeah! Role play!” Exclaimed Michael, thinking of another way to piss her off so that he could get her angry again. “Want me to demonstrate it with you?!”

“NO!” Snapped Rai, her face flushing with a combination of embarrassment and fury while she stomped her foot like a spoiled child.

This is fun, thought Michael to himself, taking in her heaving chest as she tried to control her breathing and calm down. “Ah come on,” he said out loud, draping an arm around her waist and pulled her against him. “It’ll be fun. You can be the first woman, and I will be the first man! We can even do it doggy style for the Hell of it since that was rather popular back then!”

Rai came very, very close to seeing red and brought her arm back to punch him and did, slamming her fist into his eye.

“Hey what the fuck?!” Shouted Michael, swatting at his face instinctively, allowing Rai to run the rest of the way back to her house. “Damn it,” he cursed pou, be, before brightening up and taking off after her. He loved a good chase, and the woman was definitely giving him one.

Rai sighed happily at having reached the comfort and safety of her house; she locked the door and turned around, knowing she had succeeded in losing the angel.

“BOO!”

Rai’s eyes widened at who she saw in front of her and let out a scream that sounded like a mixture of blood-curdling, angel, and just plain frustration.

Lilith chuckled as she watched the little slip of a blonde-haired female attack the surprised Angel of Fire. “My, my,” she said, clucking her tongue. “So the little bitch does have bite. Maybe there is hope for the little piece of work after all. Doubt it though, some things are just too far-embedded into that pretty little head of hers to really make a difference.”

“She turned away from the mirror and to the blonde-haired female with green eyes that lay on the bed motionless and not breathing. Lilith climbed onto the bed beside her and ran her slender fingers through the girl’s hair. “You have such lovely hair,” she whispered, kissing her cheek and trailing down to her collarbone where she lapped ant the deer cuts still spilling some blood. “And your skin,” she continued, “like porcelain.” she turned her attention to the zombie-like figure of Adam watching them. Er eyes lowered and she grinned, seeing his arousal. “Would you like to join us Adam? I am sure Rai won’t mind. Will you dear?” When the corpse made no response, she turned back to Adam. “See?”

Adam moved to join them on the bed and took up a position behind Lilith. “Oh no, husband,” smiled Lilith. “You get to have Rai.” Lilith lifted “Rai” up so that Adam could pin the dead body onto her stomach and shoved into her rear end, humping it madly. Lilith laid back and watched him go, her mouth twisted into a cruel smirk while she ran her hands over her stomach. Soon everything would come into play, all Adam had to do was keep imagining that she, Lilith, and any corpse she gave him was Rai, and when Michael made his move, she would make her, hers. Actually, Adam would make his.
