Ok, I'm gonna try really hard to actually make this interesting lol we don't need a repeat of last chapter. Here's chapter 8! It is chapter 8, right? I forget. Whatever, just read.

"Well, I'm off to the library," Shou said Saturday morning.

"You can't. It's still being rebuilt. Remember? There was a fire."

"Oh yeah. Darn it. I guess I'm stuck here."

"You say it like it's a bad thing," Judai laughed.

The bluenette shrugged.

"I can get you in there," Judai said.

"No, it's ok."

"C'mon, Shou. I know you want to."

He sighed. "Fine, what do we do?"

"Follow me."

Rolling his eyes, he followed the brunette into the building.

They made their way up to the library.

"Hey, who let you two in here?" one of the workers asked. "You need to back downstairs."

"But, I need to get a book for my project and it's due Monday." Judai pouted and let his eyes glisten in the light.

"Alright, get it and then leave."

"Thanks mister! Let's go, Shou."

When they were out of earshot, Shou asked, "How'd you do that?"

"My amazingly good looks," Judai answered.

"Yeah, right." Shou walked over and searched for a good book to choose while Judai wandered.

He was looking at all the books there were. If the school could afford this many books than why couldn't they afford houses instead of dorms? Judai would never know.

The title of a big black book caught Judai's interest. It said: The Yuki generation. He picked it up and flipped to the first page and saw a picture of two people. They looked like Haou and Yohan. Except they had big black wings.

"What do you have there?" Shou asked.

"Who does this remind you of?" Judai asked ignoring Shou's question.

"The two guys we saw standing on the quad. Why?"

"No reason." He closed the book. "Let's go."

"Oh, so you're gonna try out reading?" Shou laughed.

"I guess so."

They walked back to their dorm. And once Judai stepped inside, he started reading the first page of his book.

The Yuki generation was first started by Ario Anderson. He married Kazumi Yuki. They had children with very extraordinary powers. They called themselves The Niphilem. They had the names of…

Judai skipped a few pages so he could get some information about the two kids on the front page.

…they had child by the name of Yohan Anderson.

Eventually, he had formed a bond with Ario and Kazumi's great great great great grandchild, Haou Yuki. (pg. 1) It was when Haou developed a dark and violent personality, his parents took him in to the King.

The King (a.k.a.: God) vowed Haou death. But Haou's brotherly-like partner said, "If you must grant him death, you shall do the same to me."

The King did not want to grant Yohan death considering he was one of his best influencers. So he came to an agreement with the two. He gave them a poison they called, Dark Ego. And that's how the changed into fallen angels.

By the time Judai had finished the first couple pages, his eyes were wide. He closed the book and placed it on the nightstand. He stood up and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Shou asked.

"I have to go see something," Judai said as he walked outside.

His walking pace was slow. What am I gonna say? "I know you're a fallen angel but I'm ok with it"? God, I'm such an idiot. he thought. I should've thought about this before I stepped out here.

Before he knew it, he was standing in front of Haou and Yohan's dorm. He took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.

Haou opened the door. And when he saw Judai standing there, he growled. He grabbed him by the arm and pulled him in. "Are you crazy? Why the hell would you even think about coming out here alone?"

Judai just stared. If he was a fallen angel, then could it be possible that they could kill? If they could, then Haou looked like he was about to kill Judai. He started wheezing again and reached for his inhaler and found he left it at his dorm.

"Answer me!" he yelled as he shook Judai.

"Stop, Haou," Yohan ordered.

"No! He never listens to me. It's like he's prone to being killed!"

"Stop, you're scaring me!" Judai pleaded as he tried to catch his breath.

Haou saw the fear in his eyes and let go. He turned away to he could calm down. He didn't want to scare Judai anymore.

Yohan sighed. Mortals get scared so easily these days, he thought. "C'mon, Judai. Let's go somewhere else so Haou can cool off."

"No," Haou said. "I'm alright."

Judai stood next to Yohan just in case.

"Why did you come Judai?" Haou asked as nicely as he could. (Which wasn't very nice.)

Judai thought for a moment about what he would say.

"Well?"

"Shut up!" Judai growled. That was the first time he had stood up for himself to Haou.

Haou was about to scold him but Yohan said, "He's thinking. Leave him be."

When he finally figured it out, he started out like this, "People think you have a bad reputation, don't they?"

Haou developed a violent and dark personality.

"Where are you going with this?" Yohan asked.

"Just answer it. Please. And don't peer into my mind."

"I guess so." Haou answered.

"You sacrificed your life for Haou." He was talking more to himself now.

Haou's brotherly-like partner said, "If you must grant him death, you shall do the same to me."

Yohan looked him with a confused look.

"I know what you are."

They were shocked.

"Angels," he said. "Fallen angels."

"How'd you find out?" Haou asked getting angry again.

Judai took a step back before he answered, "A book."

"What book?" he hissed.

He took another step back.

"Haou, calm down," the bluenette warned.

"What book?" he asked again.

Judai rammed his brain for the title. "Um, uh-"

"Fucking say it!"

"The Yuki Generation," the brunette finally answered.

"Where exactly is this book?" Yohan asked.

"In my dorm."

"Let's go get it. I'll be right behind you."

Judai nodded and walked out the door.

Haou was about to follow but Yohan pushed him back. "No. You stay here."

"Why?"

"Because you getting angry isn't gonna help the situation," he growled.

Haou crossed his arms. "You're joking right?"

"No. I'm not. When you yell, it scares Judai. And when Judai gets scared, he can't think straight. How the hell do you think we're gonna be able to help him if he can't give us any information?"

Haou groaned as he sat down on the bed.

Yohan left and went after Judai.

"Back already?" Shou said, still sucked in his book.

"No, I just forgot something."

Shou looked up then and saw Yohan walk into the room.

Yohan smirked to let him know he didn't plan on doing anything bad.

Shou nodded slowly.

"Here it is," Judai said as he picked up the book.

"Who's the author."

Judai looked from front to back. "It doesn't say."

"Let's take it back to my dorm so we can explain it to Haou," he said as he stepped back outside.

"Why didn't he come, anyway?"

"I told him to stay so he could redeem himself."

"You know, I can stand up for myself."

"Don't take this personal, Judai but you really can't. Haou's far much stronger than you are."

Judai sighed and nodded. He didn't like being referred as the weak one. At least, that's how he felt.

"Haou, we've got something to tell you," Yohan said as he entered their dorm. He explained everything they found out about the book.

"No author?" he asked.

Judai shook his head.

"How many copies of this book were there?"

"I only saw one."

"Good. Then you keep this one. We can't let anyone else get a hold of this."

He nodded.

"Yohan, give Judai and I a minute."

The bluenette warned him with his eyes before he left.

"Take a seat."

Judai hesitated.

"I'm not gonna yell. Just sit down."

Judai sat down on the bed and carefully watched Haou.

Haou sat down next to Judai. "Look, just because I get a little mad sometimes doesn't mean you have to be scared."

"I'm not scared of you, Haou," Judai said.

"Yes you are," Haou argued.

"No, I'm not."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll give up on me and let the shadows eat me alive."

Haou gaped at him.

"I know that's really selfish but…I just can't picture myself dying."

Haou scooted closer to the brunette. "Judai, I would never let you die."

The presence of Haou made it hard for Judai to breathe.

Haou dug in Judai's pocket and pulled out his inhaler that he grabbed when he got the book not a few minutes ago.

"I don't need it," he said as he pushed it away.

"Yes you do."

Judai used it and then put it back in his pocket. "Go on."

"I…I like you Judai. I don't know what it is but it makes me attracted to you. Trust me that's a compliment because I hardly care for anyone else."

Judai chuckled. "I know."

Haou swallowed hard and prepared for his next move. The apology. "I'm sssssss."

Judai laughed. "Don't worry, you don't have to go through the whole sorry thing. You're already forgiven."

"Good, because this was beginning to get a little awkward for me."

"Yohan, you can come in now," Judai called.

The bluenette walked in. "What did he do?" he asked Judai.

Haou glared. "Shut up, Yohan."

"Nothing."

"Good."

"Holy crap, it's nine already?" Judai asked looking at the clock.

Yohan turned around. 9:03pm it read. "I guess so. It's been a long day, huh?"

Judai nodded and yawned at the same time. "I should head home."

"No, you can just stay here," Yohan said.

"I dunno…"

"Well you don't have a choice. Security's out and if you're caught out there, you'd get in serious trouble." Yohan said.

"Even if Security wasn't out, I still wouldn't let you. The shadows are really sneaky. They'd try to get you when you're at your weakest point." Haou added.

Judai sighed. "Alright. I'll sleep on the couch."

"No, you can sleep on my bed. I'll sleep on the couch," Yohan said.

"No, Yohan. I've bothered you enough. You're sleeping in your bed."

The bluenette looked over to Haou.

"What?"

Yohan groaned and walked into his room.

"Goodnight, Haou," Judai yawned.

"Yeah, yeah," he grumbled. "Just go to sleep."

Later that night, Haou woke up due to a strange feeling in his head. He stood up and walked into the living room.

There he saw the shadows creeping up on Judai while he was sleeping. With the flick of his hand, he used his magic and it sent the shadows back to where it came from. He knew it wouldn't be enough to send them back from where they came from but he didn't know what else to do.

He picked Judai up, careful not to wake him up and carried him to his room where he'd be safer. Plus, he felt bad he had to sleep on the couch.

Once he got Judai settled, he walked to the couch and went back to sleep.

Aaaaaw, Haou's starting to show his soft side! That's a little weird. Oh, well, the chapter's already written. I'm not gonna go back and write it again. SO DEAL WITH IT! Jk. Review or the shadows will eat you alive!
