Wish for your demise

He was in an apartment. He came here to gave plague, and so he did. The four horsemen. Shikaku Rosier, the one that was unknown to anyone. Nobody knew his name, no-one but himself and the king of heaven. He, and Hades, waltz inside the tall luxurious building. He could smell it.

Sins, this place was clouded with sins, very thick and dark one. Shikaku stayed calm, he walked, passing through one door and another. Each of everyone died, Hades ate their soul. They went from the bottom to the top floor nobody saw them, no-one. And then, they arrived at a room. It seemed that there's some movie star in here. In this one room. He could sense it, the darkest sins of all, the reincarnation of the seven sins.

He just walked through the door like a ghost together with the beautiful hades, his weapon. And he saw a purple figure, well.. dark and purple to be precise, with red eyes, fangs, and claws. Even though the man looked nothing like it. Since Shikaku's eyes were special, they saw differently. Still unseen, he and hades passed and all of the crew died, instant death. All of them were eaten by Hades.

Then, he stood before the dark purple creature, the source of the sins. He showed himself to the creature. His eyes were all light purple and silver, no pupils in there, just pale cold, soulless eyes. He turned Hades into a three bladed trident and stabbed it between the creature's neck, trapped him there, between the trident and the wall.

,' hello there, my old enemy. It's been a while since I smelt something sweet, despise your despicable look. This town, will be no more, run, little Imp…. Wag your tails between your legs, like you always did. "

The creature walked around and said stupid things that Shikaku did not remember at all. Seven sins had been there forever and so did Shikaku, the four horsemen. The interesting fact about humans " they don't even need demons to be sinful" so, practically to say, Shikaku could reap souls, or destroy town, all he wanted. And it seemed that this sin knew nothing but sinful act, to the point that he 'assume' that the four horsemen only existed to reap souls. The thing was, Shikaku was not always needed, when he was not needed, he could disappear into thin air and "poof" gone.

Shikaku took his trident, and it turned back into hades before disappeared, gone. He stood there, before going for another work of his, banishing the whole town like Sodom and Gomorrah. But then, one statement made Shikaku tilted his head, the creature said that he worked hard on that body, he even seduced Shikaku to play sinful on this creature.. was this for real?

,' Seriously? You worked hard to get that all black scaly body, red eyes and teeth like sharks? And you asked me to do sinful things with you? Are you mad? I guess you are worse than despicable, little Imp."

Shikaku looked around him, hades already reap the souls, guess he was happy now. Good. Sadly, even when hades was happy, shikaku just felt cold like dead corpse, oh well, he had been like this since forever. He glanced at the dark purple creature then.

,' so , seven sins, want to be my pet? As we always did, you spread sins amongst humans, you got entertainment, and I got my apocalypse. Deal?"

Shikaku was about to punch the creature when he liked his lips… that was just nasty… very nasty. He'd rather drank bitter medicine all day! He watched the imp got all ready and then, they decided to ride the proche or some kind of big tin can. Shikaku called his famine and he made it all spread in the town. The whole town was in famine now. They ate, but they never got full, they even eating their own bodies to be satisfied but nothing , they stay hungry and they all dead, practically eating themselves up. As they went by car, they heard screaming all over the town, and soon, the whole city was dead now.

He looked at the creature beside him. If this monster was confident, so confident to seduce him, it means, his appearance in physical must be good, but very horrible in the soul. Shikaku spoke to him without looking at the creature.

,' I assume you're looking good only in appearance right? Good thing I only saw your horrible terrifying soul. Little imp."

They kept riding the tin can thing and then, after some time, they reached a place, a mansion, Shikaku looked around, again, all he saw was only sketch like blue print, he did not see any colors around. He did not know what the black creature saw. He stepped out from the can thing and he look at the black imp following him as well.

,' what's this place? I don't see the way you saw it, in my eyes, this place was only black and grey. "

The sweet sound of pain and distress filled the air and I just kept driving around. Okay, some humans were eating themselves and that was kind of gross, but I still smiled. Rosier then said that he could only see my soul. Crap, that's why he wasn't attracted to me. I drove all the way to my primary house. Well, mansion. I stepped out of the car and walked towards the mansion. Rosier then asked me what I was seeing cause he couldn't see the same thing I did.

"First off, it sucks that you see me just as my soul, but remember that I am the embodiement of the seven deadly sins, it's normal that I'm dark. Second, I'm not an imp, I was here before you even existed. And finally this is my mansion. We are exactlt in the center of three major cities. You can have all your fun here. Since can't see well like mine right now, I'll direct you safely through my home."

I grabbed his hand and led him through my mansion safely, all the way up to my room. The balcony overlooked all the cities around. He could spread whatever he wanted from up here. I just let my suitcase fall in the closet and then too my jacket off, it really was too bad that he couldn't see my body. It looked much better then my soul. I was hungry now.

"Try not to kill the humans in my mansion, I don't feel like cleaning and cooking myself. Speaking of which, I'm starving!"

I picked up my phone and ordered a lot of food. I couldn't help it, gluttony was a part of me. The humans quickly brought food up to my room and the man blushed as he look at me with desire. I smirked and dismissed him. I started eating, leaving some for Rosier as best I could.

"Come on, My cute Rose bush, eat up!"

*Rosier is french for Rose Bush ^-^

So this was the imp's mansion. Normal, black and grey, suited him just perfect. The imp said that it was too bad for Shikaku to only saw the imp's soul, well, it was the opposite for him, he prefer it this way, this was much better, he desired nobody, cared about nothing, and he feared nothing, he had nothing to lose, he felt perfect. A mere fun that lasted for seconds, what was so good in it? Nothing at all.

They walked in and then he watched the creature ate like a starving animal.. gross.. he looked away, he'd rather saw humans feeding on their own bodies! Good thing for Shikaku, he was the lord of famine, hunger as not part of him, he ruled over it, so, he just stayed there, standing near the balcony and let the imp ate everything even licking the plate clean. He cleared his throat then.

,' you look way worse than human feeding on their own flesh. You eat like an animal, well.. it suits you anyway, little imp. and by the way, its good thing for me only seeing your horrible dark soul. it kept me far away from your despicable sins."

Shikaku called for his red horse, war. It was a flaming red horse, a spirit. He smiled as he saw the red horse came to him. He pet its head and then he whispered.

,' my old friend.. go… bring war to the eastern world… make them hate and kill each other.. they had been doing it for centuries, might as well ended all of it now."

The red horse flew off and it did as commanded by Shikaku. He could feel and saw what the horse was doing, it did its job perfectly. He kept calm, and then, he met up with Hades. The weapon bowed to him and then, Hades turned into black clouds, Shikaku lied down on it and got comfortable. This felt good.

,' so little imp, why don’t you do your job now while I do mine? I thought we had a deal on this."

The imp walked to him saying some stuffs that Shikaku already knew of, so wasting energy really. But if the creature wanted to say it then it's his own choice. Then the creature brag about his real looks that he was as beautiful that it would bring starts to shame, that he was so shiny that the sun would go down and die, blah…blah, never ending. The creature also said that Shikaku did more sins than him. Well, he was no sinner, he was an executor. Perhaps this little imp misunderstood the function of the four horsemen , the four horsemen was no sinner, 'they' were the punisher,

But then again, who cares what a little imp thought? Not Shikaku. This imp could say anything he wanted. The tongue was his to toy with after all. He just stay there, stood still as he saw the red horse, far away, dancing amongst the blood of humans, sinful humans.

,' the truth was in your soul, imp. What in the surface, was just a lie. Lucky for me. This form, was the real me, a demon, an executor , a punisher . My soul, looked the same as me, devilish soul and I'm not hiding it under fake pretty face like yours."

So there was a good in his blind to the world. Shikaku was blind to beauty of men, blind to gold, money, blind to desire, and he was completely blind to all things that were desired by men. He had abandoned those things ever since he became the four horsemen. Those things did not affect him, for he was blind in the eyes.

It was true that demons and seven sins such as this creature was created to tempt men to fall into pit of darkness, however, the choice, was in their hands, to fall or to hold on and fight, they choose falling for it was much easier. And apparently this imp, did not understand that, that was why he said Shikaku was a sinner, and the imp himself, was a sinner. The truth was, they just doing their job, what they were born to do. Shikaku never hid his true form which was demonic, it was contrast to this imp who hid it.

,' and little imp, I'm not causing sins, neither were you, but since you might not understand, I will say no more."

Then he put his hands on Hades and the weapon showed its feminine face. shikaku ordered Hades to go back to underworld and the weapon did. he stood up on the balcony still as the sun sets and the moon raised. though still, for Shikaku who was cursed, be it the moon or the sun, it was the same grey to him.

,' Does little imp know the color of the moon? was it white? perhaps black? or grey? "

After their little conversation that sounded more like a ' fight' they started to dance. Shikaku was forced to dance with this imp, black scaly dark imp. Though if it's just a dance, he could do it, well.. though he was not a good dancer . his movement was somehow odd, and, like a stone. So this imp knew how to dance? Seemed that the devil had more knowledge and 'soft skill' right now. Though when they kissed, Shikaku was shocked and he pushed the imp hard. He fell. Shikaku did not want that, being kissed by a black monster? Why don't shove some bitter pills into his mouth instead? He would welcome that happily!

The demon walked away after saying sorry. A demon being sorry? Now that's the first time he head a demon said ' sorry' hat was funny to hear. The demon rant o a room and then he came back to the bedroom. Shikaku who was looking at the moon, turned his head towards the imp, black…wait….the imp was.. not in.. black??? Wait.. what was this??

Surprisingly, the imp, he was now in a form of a person, with long hair, but this time he looked more like an efreet, a flame, thought he color was not orange , it was in light purple. Now… this was… very odd… shikaku tried to look away to the moon and he saw… different color there. The moon was now… bright yellow to him.. how very odd.. it used to be grey, or black… he looked around, his world became more colorful now. He looked back at the creature in the bed. Though shikaku saw this creature like a light purple efreet with no eyes and face, this was much better than the black imp.

,' you… are you…. Seven sins? You… how did you become… like this? All light…purple… you look like an efreet…. It's nice.. well that shocked me."

The view over the man was changing. Their relationship continued for some time. Shikaku started to get used to this efreet guy and then, one day, when they were in the efreet's house, somehow, the efreet was stabbed, that was very odd, considering how this man brag about his greatness. Though Shikaku get to kill the one who hurt this efreet. Then, he grabbed the efreet. Hades was right beside him. Of course, there was nothing Shikaku could do, this man, seven sins, his soul was still there, only the body that dies. Hades, could not bring back your body, he could only toy with your soul. Bring the soul back, or condemn it to hell forever.

Short to say, if your body dies, well.. your soul was still there, alive, hades would not take it. It was not Fei li's time yet. It was never his time. So, as the body disappeared, Shikaku watched fei li's soul, floating around him. It was alive, the soul, Hades bowed to Shikaku, saying that he would not reap this one, not his time yet. So, Shikaku who could not resurrect a body, had no other choice but to take care of Fei li's soul for now.

And strangely, his world changed at that time, the king of heaven, took his curse away. The whole earth, he saw all the colors, green, brown, black… strange.. this was all..very odd. Was it.. the sacrifice the act of true love? Fei li? The seven sins? The king of heaven, smiled lovingly towards Shikaku, and walked with him. Fei li's soul, was in the King's hands right now.

,' My old friend, Shikaku, the seven sins, your true love, he lifted your curse, and as I promise, I lifted the whole curse on you. And.. Shikaku… here, it's a gift from me, open it."

The king left and then, Shikaku opened the small box. Bewitching light appeared and then, fei li's soul was sucked into that light. Then, a msn appeared before Shikaku, long black hair, pale skin. Shikaku looked confused, who was this man? He stepped back and kept his guard on.

,' who… who are you? What did you do to the seven sins! Where… where is he! You took my true love! He said.. he said he loves me despite my monster look…"

The man before him claimed that he was the seven sin. But he got a name, and it was fei li. Shikaku froze like statue. The heck was all this? Where was that efreet seven sins? Really? This man was that efreet? The guy even did more surprising things, kissing and hugging Shikaku.. he was not afraid? Shikaku was a monster and this man said rose bush?! This guy must be blind! As they got to the room and it looked all odd to shikaku, everything was very odd and fearsome. He was visibly, afraid of his new vision now. He was not used to this. He looked around in shock. He barely know what to do to the naked guy before him!

,' wait.. wait.. this.. i.. fei li.. I don't … i… I'm a monster !! what are you thinking! This.. I don’t' know any of this where am I..I.. I'm not a rose bush you're blind! Can't you see I'm all black! Black! Huge! Scaly! Huge fangs like dragons!! Even worse!! I know exactly how I look!! What.. are you thinking…"

Shikaku was new to all this. This was the very first time he saw things and the world like this. Sure the man seven sins was his true love but he was freaking out now. He knelt down and hid his face with his hands, he closed his eyes. He knew how hideous he was, unlike the man before him, who looked all normal and good! This guy was crazy to say shikaku looked like rose, he barely smelt like one!

,' if anything you are the rose!! and I'm just a thorn!... monster… hideous…"

Shikaku saw himself as monster, that was what he had been seeing all this time. He was freaking out over this.. new things around him. He just don't know what to do.. what to think.. what he saw changed his life completely, his view over the world, his everything
.
,' i… how could you love a monster like me…"

He was a horrible monster, he was sure of it! But then, Fei li grabbed him and brought him before a mirror, huge mirror. Shikaku was shocked. Totally shocked. Who was that dude in the mirror? All muscles and pale skin? Long purple hair?? Pale eyes piercing gaze?? Was that…really him?? He kept starring at his own reflection for long, till fei li did something.

Fei li, did not take a break he just started doing strange things on Shikaku, this was all new to him. He never did this kind of thing, this felt good and odd at the same time. Shikaku felt something flowing out form his intimate area and wonder what…that was….sure. this seven sins was an expert about this kind of thing, well.. he was a sinner after all.

,' ummm… i… felt..odd.. is it… all right?"

Shikaku was being like a 'robot' now, he barely knew things like this, he never did such things. Fei li as the one doing the whole job. Shikaku did not know what to do. He was totally lost in this thing! They ended up on the bed again and this time, Shikaku lied down on the bed while fei li kept kissing him like a hungry animal. This felt good, but.. again..odd… this was all knew to him. When the kiss ended, Shikaku gave fei li a deep gaze and it made fei li blushed beet red it seemed.

,' was… was this love? I mean.. act of love? I don't.. know…about this kind of..thing…"

He was new to all this pleasure things, shikaku never had this kind of thing, he never did this thing in his whole life. He was.. a virgin…even his first kiss was some kind of 'stolen' by the seven sins. His first sex was also… done with the same guy. Was this meant they bound in life? He heard that if someone took another in such a way, mating in such a way, then it means they're bound to each other. Forever, and eternal bound that can't be broken by anything.

So, shikaku made love slowly to the seven sins, fei li. He moved slow, nice, he took his time and he liked this. They made love to each other for hours and they held each other as if they had known one another for centuries. They stopped only when fei li fainted and they could not climaxed another round. They fell asleep and shikaku held fei li in his arms.

They slept for hours and then, he woke up first, looking at the man beside him. Fei li, the seven sins. He could not believe that the seven sins was his true love…how could that be? If shikaku remembered correctly, seven sins, means this guy was all sins and pure sins right? He would..whore himself? If shikaku was gone? Would he? Though logically, it was natural, since this man, seven sins, of course he shall and would do sinful act. It was…his nature.

Shikaku was new to all this, this true love of his, could it last? How long would it last? He looked in empty gaze upon the ceiling and then blinked once, twice, then he caressed the man beside him, in his arms. That was when fei li woke up. Shikaku tried to smile and failed, so it turned into a smirk. He kissed fei li's forehead gently.

,' morning, so…how you feel? Allright?"

This.. love feeling was new to him. He did not know how to act on this, or how to get things right on this kind of feeling. Fei li said that lying was not part of seven sins. He said he would keep his lust, and everything of his for Shikaku only. He loved Fei li, he just had trouble believing things.

Shikaku helped Fei li from the bath and then he carried him to the balcony, the place where they could hear people screaming of the famine and deaths that were all upon them. The sun was there, but surprisingly, it was changed by the moon, the sky was conquered by the moon again. And all became night. This was thanks to shikaku who made the death. He held Fei li in his arms.

,' this… love.. is..new to me.. i… love you but… it's.. hard… maybe… you can teach me…about this? I don't… I don't know how to act…"

He did not know how to act, how to think, and how to treat Fei li as a lover. He never had lover in his whole life, in the whole centuries of his life. This was the first, he was even not used to the things he saw. How fei li looks, how he had so many colors in him, that felt amazing actually. Shikaku leaned closer and he slowly pressed his lips against Fei li's. it felt… nice but… it made his heart race as well.

,' uhhhmmm.. you.. have lots of colors in you… I think it's pretty…very pretty...by the way.... am i... a lousy lover? "

Wrong, Fei li got it wrong this time. He did not know what shikaku felt, what he was thinking, he completely clueless. Perhaps he was not listening to any words Shikaku said last night. He was not doubting Fei li, he did not even say that fei li lied. in contrast he was doubting himself, afraid that he was being lousy and gloomy and so on . Though perhaps Shikaku could just keep that to himself. Perhaps that did not interest fei li that much, as if it bothers him. Though the kiss, Shikaku looked at Fei li and he caressed the seven sin's hair. He then helped Fei li to sat on the bed, he needed it. So, they moved from the balcony to the bedroom.

,' yes I know, sorry, I was being idiot."

Shikaku put fei li there and then he went to the other room. He went to the kitchen and saw if there's anything he could do there. He was thinking then. What was this love, what was this kind of feeling. Maybe the king of heaven would know? If fei li saw those things as merely idiotic act and thought, perhaps shikaku just go for another person's advise then. He seriously would not say thigns that would make Fei Li lost his interest , things like words he said last night. Obviously, those words made fei li lose complete interest and just fell asleep. He shall remember that one. Never bother Fei Li with foolish things that he felt.

And so, Shikaku made some food for his lover. He found fish, and some potatoes. A bit vegetables too. He just cook them based on what he mostly saw on TV. Baked fish with baby potatoes and veggies . when the food was done, he brought it to Fei li, and slowly feeding him. He fed his lover till it was all done.

," I will go wash the dishes, you look tired maybe you need rest."

At that time, Shikaku went to the kitchen and then, he opened the door connecting the kitchen to the outdoor barbeque area. There, was the King of Heaven. Perhaps, if his lover was not interested, maybe.. this King guy would? And so, Shikaku sat down with the King of heaven sitting beside him. Like an old friend they were.

,' my king… this… was this good? Am I doing good? I think I'm lousy at this new..feeling…I don't know what to do… is that silly."

The King of heaven smiled like a father to son. He pet shikaku's head softly. He spoke with deep voice.

,' my old friend, my son, this, self doubt…I'm afraid only the seven sins had the answer for you. Though I believe, you're a great friend, and a remarkable son."

After that, the king disappeared. No answer. He shall never find the answer… the king said only Fei li could tell him but .. they shall never spoke about that again, Shikaku shall never mention that again, not in front of his lover. If he did, Fei li might think Shikaku as an idiotic lover, or perhaps worse. Maybe, he just need to do what Fei li wanted him to do, perhaps that would be much better for them.
