Aika ran like hell through the streets, dragging a concerned Asia and dazed Haru away from what would be described as a cluster fuck. As a normal human, she had absolutely no idea what was happening right now. Girls with black wings. Spears of light. Haru's girlfriend dressed as a fox girl youkai. One would think they were LARPing or something.
However, her instincts told her to flee when she felt the presence exuded by all of them. Her fight or flight response was triggered, and by following Tamamo's request, she escaped with the others.
She had no clue what the heck was going on. She would interrogate Haru about it later, but now she had to get them away as far as possible from the Church. They had just reached the plaza when Haru found himself tripping over his feet, falling to the ground and face scraping up against asphalt. Skin ripped open, causing a small amount of blood to leak down his face. "Are you alright?!" Asia cried as she rushed to pull him up. "M-Mr. Namikaze!"
"Now is not the time to be shell-shocked, man!" Aika shouted as she grabbed his arm. "C'mon, we gotta—!"
"I'm afraid this is as far as you three go." a cold female voice called out. Aika shuddered, slowly turning to find two more people in the air with black feathery wings. The woman was downright sexy, and her skimpy dress did little to hide her bountiful body and showed off an impressive amount of leg and cleavage, but her stoic face and eyes ruined the appeal. Next to her was a sharply-dressed man with a coat and fedora hat, armed with a light spear. "Unless you want to die, little girl, hand over that nun to us."
Aika cursed while Haru froze up again. Dammit, there were two more of these freaks?!
If they were anything like the two at the Church, mother things were very, very bad. She glanced at Asia, who was tending to a fidgeting Haru. The look on his face made her feel a pang of pity. It was the same, terrified expression he had in class the other day. She now realized that it was because of these freaks. Granted, she would've been the same if they nearly killed her.
But why would they want Asia?
She glanced at Asia, who fidgeted and squirmed. Slowly, she pressed herself closer to Haru. Aika, putting on the best brave face she could muster, turned to the two. "W-Why? What do you want with her?"
"That isn't your concern." the fedora-wearing man stated with a serious face. "Just give us Asia Argento, and you won't be harmed."
"And what about Haru?" Aika challenged. The silence she received told her everything. She bit her lip and glanced back at Haru, who was staring at the two Fallen fearfully. Dammit, this is bad! We're in a rock and a hard place! What do I do? What can I do...?!
A spear came flying dangerously close to her cheek, stabbing into the ground and fading away moments later. A burning cut seared through layers of skin, drawing blood as a result. Her body shook, but she couldn't find the strength to scream or cry out. She fearfully looked up, finding the woman's arm in another position. "We won't ask again." she said coldly. "I'd prefer not to kill you, but if you don't give us that girl, you will be meeting God earlier than intended."
She gulped. These two weren't playing around. They were really going to kill her and Haru. Her legs trembled, barely able to support her now. She maintained her brave front, but internally, she was panicking. She was faced with Death.
She didn't know what to do! By all rights, she was dead to rights. Somehow, though, God must have taken pity on the poor girl, because (ironically) divine intervention came upon her.
In the form of Toujou Koneko, slugging the man square in the face and sending him right out of the air.
"What the—?!" But the female Fallen was cut off as a black blade came swinging close to her face. Aika blinked once. Twice. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Kiba Yuuto and Toujou Koneko were right there… protecting them.
"... Huh?"
"Whew. We made it in time." Yuuto breathed a hefty sigh of relief as he touched the ground after he forced the woman back before he looked at Koneko, who landed on the ground on all fours with a predatory look in her eyes, hands twitching and ready to punch her foe again. "Think you got him?"
"... Missed his jaw." was the only response as she stared at the man, who clamored up to his feet, rubbing his face. His nose was caved in, blood leaking through.
"Damn... Gremory's servants?!" the woman cursed their luck, forging a Light Spear.
Yuuto swiped his sword, glaring at the two Fallen Angels in distaste. "We gave you a warning earlier." he said. "This marks your second offense. I don't believe we have to tell you what happens next."
"... So screwed." Koneko said with hidden satisfaction about the prospect of beating them down.
"Then we'll just drag you both to hell with us!" The male Fallen growled as a bright, blue spear manifested in hand.
"Sorry, but we don't have any plans of letting that happen." Yuuto replied as he extended a free hand. Seemingly out of thin air, a new sword came into his grasp: this one with a light red blade, a haze dancing around it with sparks flickering around the hilt. He then looked over his shoulder. "Kiryu-chan, take Namikaze-san and that girl out of here!"
"R-Right!" Realizing that another cluster duck was about to take place, she took Asia and Haru and pulled them away from the danger zone.
Kalawarner was about to intercept them, not wanting them to get away again, but was barred by Yuuto's blades, nearly cutting her head from her neck. "Ah!" She immediately pulled back, dashing away and creating a spear into her hand. "Damned Devils! If we don't kill that boy, Azazel-sama will have our heads!"
"Your heads were forfeit the moment you violated the laws of the treaty!"
