Itami easily made her way to the rooftop Akvan had resided at, not far from the hospital either, which for a slight moment surprised her, until she remembered that her sins did some damage to his wings. She was so proud. Seeing Akvan rest, believing she was not going to follow, didn't please her as much as she hoped. The Demons knew her well enough by now that such things were not left alone until she got what she wanted, and right now she wanted Akvan's full fear on her, so that her later plan was not effected by the young God. Taking a quiet walk behind Akvan as to not alert him to her presence, she contemplated how to go about this, the fight took strength out of him, and if she was not careful it was a possibility that se would break him beyond use. "I told you we were not finished..."
This is where she needed to be careful, saying too little would not have the desired effect, but too much would make him useless in the long run. Or give her a powerful enemy. "I knew you didn't have it in you, took weak to defend yourself properly. You don't deserve such power." Though she knew Akvan was probably the most reliable and trustful Demon to possess such powers, Itami did not need him to have such confidence in himself, it would do good for no-one.

The wings were really damaged. It was as if the sins had planned to slow Akvan down. The Demon wouldn't be surprise if that had been their job, since it put Akvan at a serious disadvantage, and meant running away was a lot harder. The Demon sighed, wings twitching behind him as he almost fell asleep in his hands. He had no clue why Itami picked on him so much. He truly feared his sister, despite her wisdom and moments of help, the woman was truly cruel. It was odd really, others never spoke foul words about her, even Onrah didn't see the problems with their sister of sin. So was she only holding all grudge against Akvan? Or was there more to this Demon woman than other knew?
"I told you we were not finished..."
Akvan jumped again at her voice, getting up before stumbling across the roof to get far away from Itami. Holding his green coated hand out in front of himself weakly, Akvan eyed Itami fearfully. She couldn't just leave him alone in his misery, and had to cut deeper into the wounds. Akvan almost glared, feeling ready to defend himself without relying on his other half to take over.
"I knew you didn't have it in you, too weak to defend yourself properly. You don't deserve such power." Akvan lowered his hand, a shaken expression over his face. It felt so true, he couldn't defend himself with the powerful magic he was given, and he didn't feel like the magic he used to kill others was meant for his control. Akvan covered his face with a hand again, dropping low on the roof. "You're right... I don't deserve this do I?" Akvan laughed harshly at himself. "Why was I given this power?" What compelled Mo to give Akvan this magic, the Demon was hardly worth any form of dark magic as it was.
Akvan looked up to Itami like a wounded dog. "Can I not just disappear? Surely everyone would be better without me suffocating the world." Akvan contemplated death a lot, hating it yet wanting it. He never felt wanted, only a few of his fellow Gods appreciated, and only one had managed to get close to the God of Disease. Itami probably viewed him as a dead weight, it must be why she hated him so much. "You want my power don't you Itami?" Akvan muttered suddenly, eyes on the floor, "What is stopping you from taking it now?"

Itami crouched down to Akvan's level and look him in the eyes. She was okay sending pity for once, anything to help with her plans. "No I don't want your power. I want you to become stronger. No other Demon could wield it like you do..." She wasn't all lying, She did want his power, but it was true, when Mo chooses a God, often its because they were the best for that certain role. That, and she had bigger plans for Akvan, and Shinda. "You don't deserve this power, as you are not strong enough to use it... Always putting lower life before your own. That will kill you. And who's to say that when your gone, someone like myself wont get the power... You don't want that do you?"
Itami almost wanted to be sick, knowing she would have to become kind over the situation. And THAT was not something she was good at. "How about I help you? Like the kind sister I am?"

Akvan flinched when Itami got down to his level, but moving too much would cause him to fall off the building. And with his wings damaged, falling through Sora didn't sound too fun. "No I don't want your power. I want you to become stronger. No other Demon could wield it like you do..." Akvan looked up at her finally, blinking twice. Did she say something nice? Akvan could never be sure with Itami. Usually her kindness was a facade to hide her malicious plans and evil tricks. So, Akvan was naturally cautious about the sudden praise. "You don't deserve this power, as you are not strong enough to use it... Always putting lower life before your own. That will kill you. And who's to say that when your gone, someone like myself wont get the power... You don't want that do you?" Akvan looked down again. Despite what he said, about how he hated his power and didn't want to have it. He didn't know if he could simply want his magic gone. Because, selflessly, Akvan didn't want to the put the burden of controlling such a harsh matter in life to someone else. Putting the weight onto someone else's shoulders was just as cruel as keeping the powers himself and causing suffering like he did. But Itami was right, Akvan wasn't strong enough to control his power. The fact that he passively gave off illnesses to those around him proved how little a hold he had on his magic. Simply being around him could make someone sick, since the disease-ridden mist seemed to leak straight out of Akvan.
"How about I help you? Like the kind sister I am?" Akvan frowned, still looking at the ground. It was weird, as if Akvan couldn't sense any lies in Itami's words. Did she truly want to help him? Akvan looked up into her eyes. "Really? B-but how? Could you teach me how to control it better? Sister, that would be..." Akvan stopped, thinking hard for a moment. Itami Sin was not a woman to simply offer things without a return. Akvan fumbled with a bandage, looking carefully at Itami. "What... what will I have to give you in return?"

Itami almost let her façade down. The Demons knew her too well by now, she was treading on dangerous waters, but she had come too far to quit now. "Of course I can help. All it is, is to find a way to clear the mind of negative thoughts and harness what's hidden within. Something I happen to be very good at. And I wish for nothing in return, like I said im going to help you like the kind sister I am. Is that really too hard to believe. My my, you hurt my feelings." Itami wanted to shudder at the kindness she was showing, and would have to do some serious hunting to find enough humans to manipulate for her enjoyment.
She stood back up and held out her hand for the God. "My sins did a lot of damage to your wings. I can help fix them enough to get you back to Dranar with little struggle." Hell, maybe she would go find Chester and pester her for a while for her amusement, because this was too much kindness for Itami's cold heart to bare, without it making her sick to the stomach.

Did Itami hit her head following Akvan up? The innocent Demon couldn't believe the luck of his sisters sudden change of heart. There was every chance she was lying, but Akvan was too far gone into despair to care what was truth or not. "Of course I can help. All it is, is to find a way to clear the mind of negative thoughts and harness what's hidden within. Something I happen to be very good at. And I wish for nothing in return, like I said I'm going to help you like the kind sister I am. Is that really too hard to believe. My my, you hurt my feelings." Akvan raised his hands quickly, "S-sorry, I didn't mean to sound suspicious." He rapidly replied, hoping the apology would get him out of a beating or whatever other nasty things Itami was naturally tempted to do. The way Itami put it made it sound like some sort of training. Perhaps this was something all Demon Gods went through, to clear their minds of doubt and set them up to carry out their job for the necessary years ahead. It made sense, and made the boy believe Itami even more. He gingerly took Itami's hand up, brushing himself down once on his feet. Akvan glanced at his wings as Itami offered to heal them, and carefully moved them in front of his chest to let the Goddess of Sins inspect them herself. "U-umm..." Akvan mumbled, looking at the ground near his feet, "S-sorry if Shinda caused you any trouble, he's says a lot of mean things."

"Tis' not a problem dear brother." Itami moved onto the wings inspecting the damage done by her sins, she was truly proud of them. It was an easy enough job for her to temporarily fix, though Akvan would need time to heal properly. She hovered her hand over the worst of the damage, sending her magic to bind the breakage together. A few moments later, Akvan was ready for the flight back to Dranar. "Done. When would you like to start training, we can head back to Dranar now if you wish, or wait. After all we have all the time in the world."
Itami knew she needed to play things right, or risk having Akvan figure out the truth. So despite the need to get him under her control as soon as she can. Patience was the greater option in this battle. She moved to the edge of the building and let herself fall over the edge, before setting her wings in motion and hovering not far from Akvan. "So are you coming?"

Fixing Demon wings was an easy task for someone else. It was like tickling yourself, almost impossible to do personally, but easy for someone else. For Itami, healing Akvan's wings to a good enough standard was the easiest of medical work. It needed to be naturally, since flight was a Demon's only way of getting home. Angel wings didn't seem to work in a similar way, as they were more natural than made of magic. But solving those problems were the Angel's duty, nothing for the Demon God to think of worrying about. Akvan stroked the leathery surface of his wings, before looking back at Itami as she set off into the sky. "It's getting late, if we stay for too long Gensho might find us, and then we'll never be back in Dranar." Akvan said, smiling at the thought of his happy-drunk brother and his need to party all night without excuse.
A strong beat of his wings and Akvan was in the air as well, nodding to Itami as he waited for the Goddess to lead the way back. Akvan glanced down through the winding streets of Sora, down at the hospital for a moment, before looking up to the red skies of home.
END.
