Okay so I'm back and I apologize to those who wanted an update but this is just to keep all of Tenshi-chan's stories all together so you guys don't have to keep switching to pages to find the continuation. I have been really busy lately but I have not given up on finishing this story or any of my others. So don't worry I'll get you guys something to read :)
Chapters 1-3 are Tenshi's while 4-? will be mine. I'm trying to keep my style of writing similar to hers, but it will not be the exact thing so bare with me, okay?
Hope you guys forgive and I promise to update soon!
xoxo

Chapter1: Fiancée
"So…Have you chosen yet, my son?"
Red eyes with a star-like pupil peered down at the figure lying atop the dark rumbling clouds. Claw like hands clutched at the not so fluffy surface, electricity emitting from it. A similar pair of red eyes looked up at the speaker, skin pale as snow and hair pitch black. Broad, firm shoulders and angled face structure proved the figure to be male. Though he looked mortal, for the most part, his gorgeous looks are definitely inhuman.
"Iie, Otou-sama." Replied the pale man who appeared to look no older than eighteen. "Demo, doushite? Why must I find a human?"
He glanced down at the mortals and starred with a bored air as yet another drunk harassed an innocent young woman. Lips set in a thin line as he watched in disgust. He lay on his stomach with his elbow propped so he could lean his chin on his knuckles. He was clad in a plain black wife beater and black pants in which multiple steel chains hung from the torn areas.
The demonic being contemplated sending down a bolt of lightning to kill the drunk. No… that's too unlikely with this sunny weather, it would raise suspiciouns of the sort. That would only make things complicated. Perhaps an innocent car accident would do? The intoxicated man is at the edge of the street. His father knew what he was thinking and obviously disapproved. After all saving a mortal is against the book.
'We are only meant to take lives… not spare them.' He mused indifferently.
"What putrid creatures. Their world is truly corrupt…" His words hung in the air with obvious venom. His bangs fell into his and he brushed them away lazily with a sweep of one talon.
The cloaked man sighed at his son with exasperation. His hood covering his head prevented anyone from seeing his other features aside from his aristocrat nose, piercing crimson eyes, and ebony bangs framing his face. The man looked as if he's in his early thirties. It's obvious where his son's looks came from.
"Sasuke, I know you despise them, but you must do this in order for you to gain your full abilities as our family's next Shinigami." His voice turned hard with impatience and frustration. "If you do not gain your full powers by the end of the next winter solstice, all of it will go to your older brother..."
"Sou ka... Looks like I have no choice then." Sasuke tensed at his father's words and turned his gaze to a high school, where a girl with shoulder length pink hair and silver-lined green eyes is talking to her friend. Her looks were what humans call natural beauty seeing as she didn't need make-up unlike the usual female human. She is average and not particularly special but something about her eyes intrigued him. The male stood up and turned to his father with a handsome grin that revealed his canine-like fangs.
"I choose her then." He said as he turned to watch the girl walk away from her friend.
And without another word to his father he crouched low at the edge of the dark grey clouds. He lifted his left hand and bit his index finger knuckle, splitting the skin and making him bleed a dark red liquid. Suddenly a dull pain came from below his shoulder blades. Black skeleton-like feathered wings emerged from his back and spread wide. The clouds let out a low rumble and the immortal being flexed his wings before he dove straight down, heading toward the human world in the form of a lightning bolt.
"Ja, Sakura!" A blonde girl called to her pink haired friend before running off.
The girl called Sakura briefly watched her friend leave before turning around and walking in the opposite direction and sighed. Her home wasn't too far from from school only about ten to fifteen minutes if she walked.
'School is so boring.' Sakura thought. 'Well, it's not like anything exciting ever happens these days…'
Suddenly she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket being the bored seventeen year old she was, she quickly answered the phone.
"Moshi Moshi?"
" Oi, Sakura-chan?" It's her boyfriend, Kiba.
"Hai, doushita?"
"Gomen, but I think we should have a rain check for our date tonight. It looks like it's gonna rain."
Sakura glanced up at the sky. Only to be greeted with a dark sky and grey rumbling clouds. It looked like a storm is coming up, that's a bit weird seeing that it was so hot today.
'Shimmata! He's right, in fact it looks like there's gonna be a storm… chotto matte. Wasn't it sunny just a while ago?'
"A-Ah, nande mo ii!" Sakura agreed.
"Taihen, I'll see you Friday then, ja ne."
"Hai! Bai bai, ja mata ne."
Click. It's already begun to rain lightly.
Sakura hung up her phone and pulled her coat over her head to shield her from the rain. She cursed quietly under her breath and hoped she wouldn't get sick. She really loathed the feeling. She sprinted the rest of the way home.
'Mou, I'm soaking wet.' She thought to herself as she ran through the front door.
She walked up the stairs and into her room, then she lazily threw her jacket onto a chair and flopped down onto the bed. Wet clothes and all. She didn't feel like changing yet. Suddenly light filled the dark room in a flash.
Boom! CRACK!!
Sakura jumped up from the bed starteled she sat on her bed a bit frozen before she walked over to her window. That particular thunderclap was significantly loud, she looked out of the window curiously. But it's raining too hard to see anything through the drops of water. Unexpectedly, a cold hand gently lifted a lock of her pink hair. Was there someone else in her room? Maybe her father?
"Well, aren't you a beauty?" A sultry deep voice breathed into her ear.
'That's definitely not, otou-san!'
Sakura whirled around in surprise. As if on cue, lightning struck and lit the room briefly before fading back into darkness. This allowed her to see a devastatingly attractive man who looked to be about her age. As if in a trance she slowly walked forward and once she's within his grasp, the man gently lifted a hand to lift her chin to meet his eyes. Which is a shocking red color with pupils compareble to stars.
"Yes, you are what you humans call 'easy on the eyes'." His velvety voice is so sensual.
She blinked and slowly stepped back, realizing that his looks are too ethereal to be human and those eyes….
"Wha-What do you mean by that? Aren't you human as well?" She asked. She felt stupid asking such a question.
The vibe he gave her is just so dangerous. Instinct told her to run, hide, anything. For some reason she just couldn't control her body, maybe his eyes have something to do with it?
"No, no I'm not." He answered bluntly. "I am immortal."
Lightning flashed and she could see him walking closer to her. His cold fingers skimmed her arm lightly causing her to involuntarily shiver, slowly his nails grew into talons. His black wings unfolded into her view and he grinned when she stiffened in shock, his fangs revealed. White, sharp, and curved ever so slightly at the point.
"What are you? A vampire?" She questioned feeling numb.
He frowned and she just knew that what she said was taboo for him.
"Iie." He growled. His claw-like hand came to grip her throat tightly, cutting off her air supply. "I am not one of those twisted excuse of an immortal."
Sakura began to cough and gasp for air. Her hands clawed at his strong arms in an attempt to throw him off her. Emerald eyes narrowed as tried to kick him away from her, he merely countered by using his other hand to wind her legs around his hips. His free hand moved to hold her ankles, succesfully ending her violent thrashing.
"P-Please!" She breathed. "Let me go! I-I'm sorry!"
Chuckling, he waited until she calmed and let her go, leaving her to collapse to the floor panting desperately. Her throat burned and she glared viciously at the figure for it.
"Learn to hold your tongue, human." He sneered.
"What are you?" Sakura bit out.
Eyes gleaming in amusement, he kneeled on one knee to her level. He cupped her cheek softly, but despite the gentle action she was shaking like a leaf. As if his presence alone was enough to suffocate her. He does have the potential to kill her in a second.
"Look into my eyes, love." He said, lifting her head and locking their eyes. "What do you see…?"
Her eyes widened as fear racked her body, her shaking ceased as she tensed up. In his eyes she could literally see people suffering, collapsing, bleeding and being tortured, but…
'Iie.' She thought to herself with horror. 'I can see…'
"…Death…" She whispered and blanched. Families losing loved ones, friends and lovers seperated by death. Did he kill all of those people and cause such a depressing sight?
"Haruno Sakura, age seventeen, blood type B, Birth March 28th, only child, deceased mother, living with single father Haruno Hideki, goes to Kiri Gakuen, boyfriend Inuzuka Kiba, best friend Yamanaka Ino, …" The immortal being stated as if it were normal to know so much about a person.
'Who is he? How does he know so much about me?'
As if reading her mind he answered.
"I am Shinigami, Sasuke." He leaned closer and whispered hotly. "Your fiancée."
'Shi-Shinigami?! F-F-Fiancée?! Oh...Kami-sama...'
Thump.
"Hm? It seems, she has fainted."
