Gabriel left in a fury. Why did everything have to be so damn difficult? All the other angels got their soulmates up in heaven and got to keep them. His has to go and be killed and then replaced with an asshole and a maniac! He shouldn't care what is fair and simply deal with what he has on hand. He should be greatful Drake is here at all. Still he can't get those nasty words out of his head.<br/><br/>He pops up in Japan, a secluded hot spring out in the wilderness. It was a place he came to often when he was upset. Soaking in his natural element often calmed him and allowed him to think with a more level head. He ignored the ache deep inside him, it had renewed vigor to it but he was accustomed to it by now. That emptiness had been insode him since she died. Nothing he did ever really made it better, though he knew contact with Drake would.<br/><br/>He stews and soaks in the hot water for as long as he likes, losing track of time completely. He knew Reake would continue to treat Drake. Maybe he would go see the man in a day or two, apologise and start over. It's all he can do really. Soulmates are drawn together and no amount of fighting it would ever bare fruit. They would just have to suck it up and figure it out. The time alone in the water helps though. The others know not to bother him here.
