Chapter Two

Like A dream come True

       Akatora squeels in delight and hugs Azazek like she has never hugged him before.

 

       " I thought I lost you" She says trying not to cry.

 

        "Ouch be careful" Azazel groans holding her. His voice is getting stronger and his color has returned. Akatora lets go. Azazel carefully sits up, but the pain in his chest makes him gasp. "How am I still alive? that blast should have killed me." He asks, clenching and unclenching his fists in amazment.

 

       "It did kill you. you were dead for two weeks. Hazel, Kyroku and I have been trying to revive you but it didnt work, until just now when I tried by myself." Akatora tells him, with a hint of pride in her voice. Azazel looks at her, his eyes looking like they are about to pop out.

 

      "You did WHAT?" He yells, only in his weaken state it sounds more like a breathy whisper. 

 

      "Brought you back from the dead." she says quietly, lowering her eyes to the ground. Azazel sighs.

 

       "If you bring a demon back from the dead they come back mortal, not immortal." He tells her. She mumbles an apology. Azazel gives her a weak smile and holds out his hand. SHe takes it and he pulls her close to him. "I'm glad you did. Now I can be with you again>' He whispers into her hair. He holds her a little longer until exhaustion takes over. Akatora helps him up the stairs and sneaks him into her room.

 

      "You can sleep on that small couch over there if you want." SHe offers pointing to the small pink couch that was underneath the window. He nods and sits down on it He rests his head on the back, while Akatora goes to the hall closet to get him a blanket and pillow. She gives them to him and he falls asleep within minutes. Akatora smiles down at him. She just couldn't belive she had brought him back. She is afraid that it is just a dream and that if she goes to sleep it will all go away. Tiptoeing to the phone on her bedside table she picks it up and calls Hazel.

 

     "Hello this is Hazel, who's this?" yawns Hazel on the other end.

 

     "Hazel it's Akatora. I did it! I brought him back! Azazel's ALIVE!" She says yelling slighting into the phone.

 

      "What? How?" Hazel asks waking up fully.

 

       "I made up my own spell," Akatora tells her, "He's sleeping right now, come over tomorrow and I'll tell you the whole thing." She says. They say goodbye and hang up.

 

      "Akatora, can you stay here with me?" Azazel whispers soflty behind her. She walks over to him and lays down beside him. He puts his arms around her, bringing her closer to him. He falls back into a deep sleep. She falls asleep with a smile on  her face.
