For a while Azrael simply stood, holding Hatsu in his arms and watching the humans. It didn't take long for the girl Sam to approach him once again. He gave her a dull, slightly uncertain look as she tried to persuade him to set the boy down. A moment after her second comment the demon gave a sigh. "Fine then," he said, lowering the boy to the ground. "He wasn't<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>badly wounded anyway, so it shouldn't be long before he wakes up."<br/><br/>Just a moment later, Lord Death came shooting through his own portal, closing it behind him and landing hard against the opposite wall. Azrael was by his side almost immediately. Not really out of concern or sympathy; he had better idea than most of the reaper's power, but with his master arriving so dramatically, his help may be needed. And even if it wasn't.. well.. this was where the keeper of souls belonged; right at Death's side.<br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>There were crashing noises and Death came shooting into the void with the rest of them. Hiei could catch most of the scene, but his eyes were still hurt and watering from the intense light coming from... everywhere. Hiei heard a woman call out, asking if Death was okay. The only thing he could think was:<span style="font-style: italic">What a stupid question.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"How do you know for sure Death can't die?"</span>Azrael asked, and Hiei got the feeling he was smirking.<span style="font-style: italic">"Just because he hasn't died yet."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">If such a thing is possible,</span>Hiei replied,<span style="font-style: italic">Then I'd think the REAL apocalypse had arrived.</span><br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>Owari fetched the guests some refreshments, listening quietly to the conversation. He appeared in the room again shortly, holding two glasses filled with red wine, similar to the Reverend's own. "Please," the boy said, offering the glasses and smiling. When they were finally accepted, he moved off to stand obediently behind his master. As he walked to this location he smiled, saying, "God's abandoned this world. By default, it falls into the hands of its purest inhabitants. The first thing we have to do is clean it up, of course." Owari ended this little speech just as he turned back to face their guests, standing in his rightful position. The whole time he'd been smiling like all of this made him happier than he'd ever been.
