A Sea of Red

Harada Isabelle sat in a café in Springfield, Ohio sipping tea wondering what she was going to do for the weekend. She was a seraph, one of the matchmakers from up above and bored out of her mind. Sure she had her friends, what she called her Mina tachi, and her classmates but she was not very social and had no plans to be social.

‘What can really talk about with people today’ Izzy thought, ‘I’m an ex-slave from the 1800’s who was chosen to be a cupid, what could the humans of today teach me? How could they ever relate to me? Really, they live in a bubble, a dream I never thought would be realized, what the hell could I do with them? What the hell could they teach me that I don’t already know?’ Izzy sighed as she shook her head and then growled as she felt it, her other half, the man that heaven and hell had decreed would be with her for all eternity.

He was tall, dark, and handsome, with smooth pale skin, butt length pale blue hair, and light yellow eyes. He was sex and sin on legs, a higher up demon, wanted by both seraph and demon alike. But to Izzy he was everything she despised, arrogant, controlling, passion filled, he was everything that Izzy wasn’t and she could not stand the way he constantly tried to seduce her.

Izzy was not a creature of sex as he himself was, she preferred to read, while he preferred to be social, she like tea and hot chocolate, he loved vodka, and rum straight up. They were different in every way, and yet somehow fate and destiny had decided to put them together. Izzy was stuck with the man for the rest of her life and she didn’t know what to do. All high and powerful seraphs were given mates of the opposite affinity to keep the balance of “good” and “evil” in check.

He to Izzy was sinful temptation, the thing that she had avoided her entire life but to others he was known as Darius, the third in power under Mammon’s children Eros and Desire in the underworld. He was an advisor to both the Lucifer and Mammon, and best friends with both Eros and Desire. Izzy knew she was being slightly unfair, just because Darius was a demon truly didn’t make him evil and he had had a rough human life like her being born during the time of the Jesus.

He had been the younger brother of Judas, the betrayer, a rebellious boy who hated going to temple, and a firm believer that Lucifer was right in rebelling against God. Through out his entire life he had been allowed to see Eros and Desire and they had quickly become best friends. But seen as a heathen he had been stoned to death after his brother’s suicide for saying that Jesus would pay for setting up his brother to go to hell. Eventually during his trip to the underworld, the twins had saved him and made him an advisor in return for his brother being allowed to be sent to heaven.

“Izzy darling, how are you today?” Izzy shivered in desire that she ignored as Darius’s arms came around her to rest on her stomach. “My, my, you’re looking breathtaking as usual.” Izzy snorted at that and said, “Cut the crap Darius. One, I’m not pretty, two, I’m forty pounds over weight, and three, I will not sleep with you now get your grubby paws off of me?” Darius sighed in frustration and said, “You are beautiful, my other half. Why must you put yourself down?”

“Because darling,” Izzy said in a sickly sweet voice, “It’s the truth, I’m a realist Darius. I’m plain but I’m okay with that, I’m sorry your other half couldn’t be as beautiful as you. Tell me,” Izzy bit out bitterly, “do you mourn the lost with all the other girls that flock you because of your looks, it must be so hard having a hideous soul mate. I can only imagine the grief the upper and lower realms feel over the fact that an “ugly duckling” and that’s a direct quote, got one of the hottest man in all of the realms.”
Darius growled low in his throat, and said, “Well, it can’t be easy being you either Miss I’m Perfect, look at my pure seraph soul. Imagine what the higher ups say about the fact that you got stuck and I quote, “with a lazy, sex manic, scandalous demon”, I imagine you must die nearly everyday from the shame of having me as your soul mate.” Izzy instantly flushed after that comment and said, “I’m sorry, that was very rude of me.”

Darius snorted in disgusted and said, just before leaving, “I love you Isabelle. I know you don’t believe me and you feel that your impure because you love and want me just as much as I do you, but you have stop this. It’s hurting us both, and we can not go on much longer like this. Please stop pushing me away.” Izzy gritted her teeth and instead of saying anything about the statement she knew to be true she said, “Have fun at Noire tonight with Desire and Eros, and try to remember a condom for every girl you have sex with.”

Darius eyes widened and the narrowed in anger as he said disappearing, “you can be so cold, you know I haven’t touched a girl since we found out about us and you know I never, even if you think it would be better and have given me permission to do so. I will not, you belong to me Izzy, and one of my duties regardless of whether you believe me or not is to be faithful, because we both know the day that I’m unfaithful you will break. I love you, be well mon Petite.”
