Haha! See? What did I tell you guys? First chapter of my first story and sequel to Angel Prince. Hopefully it will turn out good. I should have lots of time to work on this seeing as I have started it at 01:23am on March 27, 2013. I don't know when the hell this chapter will be out but I got two days off school so that should help. Okay now, hopefully this will go smooth. I'm in Japanese so it should be easier for me to put in words that actually make sense without Google's help.

Oh, how I've missed doing this: I don't own PoT… oh the memories.

Well here's chapter one. Hope you enjoy it!

A year has passed since returning from the angel world. In that time, Ryoga had returned to America but is due back to japan for another visit. For a few weeks after he left, Echizen had to deal with his teammates and their new lives as angels. Each one of them was trying to master their new skills such as their ability to fly and perform magic. Echizen even caught Momo with a small ball of electricity in his hand and trying to impress the girls in his class. Even Tezuka seemed to enjoy himself with his powers. Every once in a while, Echizen would see him messing with some form of magic or slight levitation. Due to a spell that Echizen put on everyone no one but their own kind could see their wings.

With all the time that Echizen spent in the angel world not counting his childhood and even though he was constantly almost getting killed, he missed it. Yeah, the last time he was there everything was in ruins but it was mending and he could feel it. He had memories from when he was an infant and everything was lush and green and he wanted to see that again. He would often catch himself with his wings out around the school but he didn't know why. There was something inside him longing to see the place where his life began.

That day started out as the other first did: early practice. More than anything in the world, Echizen hated morning practice. Having to get up before normal school hours was insane but nonetheless, he liked tennis so he put up with it. That day, instead of going up against Arai, he was with Kikumaru. Echizen could not for anything he had figure out how his sempai could have so much energy in the morning.

"Nya Ochibi, play far!" Kikumaru shouted from across the court. "You have that look in your eyes again!" 'The look' he was referring to was the slight gleam in Echizen's eyes when he was using magic to his advantage.

Echizen smirked. "What look sempai?" the ball was coming his way and his eyes seemed to sparkle (gah! corny!) and when he hit the ball back it seemed to go abnormally fast. Kikumaru's eyes were locked on it but when he went to hit it, it was already bouncing at the back of the court.

"Ochibi! You cheated! Tezuka, Ochibi's using his magic even though he keeps scolding us when we use it!" he shouted at Tezuka but immediately clapped his hands over his mouth since there were others there.

"There he goes again." Momo sighed while tapping his racket on his shoulder.

"Fsshhh, he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut." Kaidou hissed.

"Kikumaru, stop spouting nonsense." Tezuka shouted.

"Sempai, everyone knows that there's no such thing as magic. You're probably just getting too old and slow to keep up." Echizen said while letting his eyes gleam again.

Kikumaru was about to start shouting again but was cut off by Tezuka. "Echizen, go run laps around the school for being rude."

"Nya-ha! Serves you right Ochibi!" Kikumaru shouted in victory.

"Would you like to join him?" Tezuka asked slightly glaring at him.

Kikumaru sweat dropped. He knew why Tezuka was really punishing Echizen and the reason he would be punished.

"Gomen." he sighed and walked away from the court but no before a ball hit him in the back of the head. He looked around to see who did it but only saw Echizen smirking from the openings of the court. Kikumaru frowned and stuck his tongue out as Echizen jogged off while he walked over to the other regulars.

"Eiji, you know better than to talk about that when it's not just us." Oishi scolded.

"If you keep talking like that people will begin to think you need to visit a mental hospital." Taka said.

"Gomenisai... but Ochibi started it first!" he retaliated.

"Saa, that doesn't make it right though." Fuji said. "But I've noticed that Echizen has been acting a bit different than usual."

"Different how?" Inui asked.

"I've noticed it too." Momo said. "He seems more distant than he normally is."

Fuji nodded. "Not to mention the use of his magic."

"Maybe he's just going through a faze." taka suggested.

"All of you, back to practice." Tezuka shouted to them. "Or you'll be joining Echizen."

"Hai!" they all shouted in response as they went to the courts.

Echizen was lost in his thoughts while he jogged around the school; not really paying attention to where he was going or his speed. The day had a nice breeze; the sun was out with a few clouds in the sky. It would be perfect if it didn't feel so... abnormal. He knew why he was really running and around the school and not just the courts: Tezuka had said he would make practice hell for them if they used magic even if it was just a little thing like he was doing.

He looked up and saw some flowers that had recently bloomed. They had reminded him of the flowers in his mother's garden in the angel world seeing as his parents were rarely ever home on earth. He stopped his running and went to them and picked one; the petals being as blue as the sea, the center like an unripen cherry and the stem as a recently polished emerald. Those were the things Echizen missed from the angel world.

He sighed. Something in him regretted leaving but given that he only returned and remembered was the fact that four years ago he began getting attacked by servants of the black-winged angel, he didn't really know why he was so upset about it. He had gone most of his life hiding who he is and now, he wanted to show it off.

Another sigh escaped his lips. He took the pendent from his shirt and looked at it. It was shining ever so slightly. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to keep the past in the past and focus on the future in front of him.

"Come back soon Heika!' Josiah shouted.

"Ah!" Echizen waved to him. The regulars and Ryoga all made a circle around him. There was a bright light that surrounded them then they were gone, back to earth.

Josiah's voice rang in his head. He had people there that cared about him and wanted him to go back. He let the flower fall from his hands and tucked the pendent back under his shirt. He had grown accustomed to wearing it for so long, along with the bracelet with the wolf charm on it. Before he left, Ryoga had told him about what had happened with the wolf and he hasn't taken the bracelet off since.

He shook his head, trying to make everything more clearly on what he should do. He started jogging again but at a slower pace. He got to the second turn from the building when he felt a painful stinging sensation in his right shoulder. He looked to see what had caused it and saw a small kunai embedded in it. He immediately raises his defenses waiting for a second one but it never came.

What now? He couldn't continue running with that sticking out of his shoulder acting like nothing happened. He looked around to make sure no one was there, extended his wings and flew to the roof of the school. When there, he proceeded to take the weapon from his shoulder to which it started bleeding at once. He threw the small blade on the ground and put pressure on his shoulder. The wound went deeper than he had thought which meant it wasn't going to be closing any time soon.

He quickly plucked a feather from his wings and whispered something to it. It then shot from his hand towards the tennis courts.

"Tezuka, how long were you planning on making Echizen run?" Fuji asked.

"He knows the rules. If he uses that here, punishment will be relentless." Tezuka said eyeing all of the regulars, Kikumaru in particular.

"Yes but don't you think it's a little harsh?"

Tezuka raised his eyebrow. "Would you like to join him?"

Fuji smiled and walked away from him making his way to Kikumaru. "You know you should be running with Echizen since you were the one that made a big scene out of It." he said clapping Kikumaru on the back.

"Eh? But Ochibi was the one who started it!" He retorted.

"It shouldn't matter who started it or who finishes it. You two are both equally responsible." Oishi said.

"Back to practice or else everyone will be joining Echizen." Tezuka shouted at the regulars.

They all scattered like bees. Oishi went to get another racket when a feather floated down on his bag. He noticed it wasn't a normal bird feather seeing as it was exceptionally long and it had a calming goldish-orange color to it. He noticed the spots of red on it and remembered what everyone had gone through in the year prior. That was one of Echizen's feathers. He didn't know why he would find one nor did he really care. He was filled with dred and horror when he realized the spots on it were actually blood from someone's fingers.

He picked it up to get a closer look at it and when he did, he heard Echizen's voice in his head.

Oishi-sempai, please meet me on the roof of the school. I need your help.

Echizen's voice faded along with the feather that was in his hands. He looked towards the roof of the school and almost pulled his wings out and flew there in front of everyone. The thing that prevented him from doing so was the hand he felt on his shoulder.

"Oishi, I take it that you would like to join Echizen in his running?" Tezuka's tone of voice sounded a bit annoyed.

"I would like to join him... but for other reasons..." Oishi answered in a tone just louder than a whisper.

"What are you talking about?"

"Tezuka, I think Echizen needs my help. I think he's in trouble."

"How do you know this?"

"I heard him asking me for help, in my head." he turned to the roof. "He said to meet him on the roof and he needed my help." he turned back to Tezuka. "Tezuka, with everything that we've been though..."

"Fine then. If Echizen is really up there, find out what he needs but if he is merely skipping out on his run, you'll be joining him next time." Tezuka then turned his back and walked over to watch the others practice.

"Hai!" Oishi ran off the courts and headed for the building. When he got there, he quickly went in and up to the roof and saw Echizen leaning on the fence while holding his shoulder with his wings out, lost in his thoughts.

"Echizen…" he was slightly captivated by the sight and how magnificent Echizen looked standing there but was pulled away when he saw the amount of blood running down his arm and on his shirt. "Echizen!"

Echizen slowly turned his head and looked at Oishi. It was a look of not physical pain like he might have thought but more or something… emotional.

"Oishi-sempai…"

Oishi ran to him and examined his arm. "What happened?!"

Echizen told Oishi what had happened and what has been happening for the last year as his arm was being mended.

"This has been going on since you got back?" Oishi asked as he finished wrapping Echizen's shoulder.

"Yeah…" Echizen rotated his shoulder but not without wincing a bit from the pain. "Oishi-sempai, something's wrong; in the angel world. I don't know what it is but I can feel it." There was silence for a minute or two. Echizen looked at the sky. "I can't finish practice with this." He placed his hand on this shoulder. "And it wouldn't be a good idea if anyone else saw me like this."

"I know Echizen. Go home and take care of it. I'll tell Tezuka what happened." He hesitated before saying the next part. "Are your parents currently at home?"

Echizen scoffed. "It's news to me if they are." He pulled out his wings and levitated off the ground. "Arigatou Oishi-sempai." He started to fly in the direction of his house.

"We'll be by after school to see how you're doing." Oishi yelled to him.

Echizen merely lifted his uninjured arm and gave him a backwards wave then flew to his house. Oishi watched him until he was out of sight then rushed from the building and back to the courts to tell Tezuka what had happened.

Echizen arrived at his house fairly slow from normal not because he was injured but because he kept getting lost in thought and veering off course. He landed in his yard and wasn't surprised when Karupin came out to greet him. Rather than just into his arms like he normally did, he stared at Echizen's shoulder then started to pull on this on his pant leg so he would follow.

"What are you doing?" Echizen bent down to pet him but before he could, Karupin ran back to the doorway of the house and meowed. Echizen raised an eyebrow as to why the door was open in the first place. He followed Karupin inside and he lead him to the kitchen to which Echizen was looking at someone in his refrigerator. He crossed his arms and glared. "Oi!"

The figure peeked its head on top of the fridge door with a smile across his face. "Yo Chibisuke!"

"What are you doing here?" Echizen asked in a less than amused tone.

"What?" Ryoga came out of the fridge. "Can't I stop by to see how my little brother is doing?" He stared at the blood stained shirt and bandages. "Not too well by the looks of it."

Echizen scoffed and walked towards the living room. "Think so? No, I'm doing perfectly fine despite the fact there was an arrow in my shoulder." He sat on the couch and rubbed his shoulder.

Ryoga frowned slightly and followed and sat next to him. "Let me see it." Echizen removed his shirt and to his and Ryoga's surprise, the blood had begun to seep through the bandages. "What happened?" He told Ryoga what had been happening the last year and at school and how Oishi mended his shoulder. Ryoga found it a bit odd that since Oishi had fixed him up, it didn't stay fixed for long. Since he was the expert in medicine among them and his powers basically make it so just by touching someone the injury should go away, it was strange that Echizen's wound opened back up after such a short amount of time. Echizen chalked it off as to being too reckless with it or Oishi not doing a thorough job even if he found that hard to believe.

"Chibisuke, why didn't you contact me? I could've helped." Ryoga said after applying new, clean bandages to his wound.

"I didn't need your help." Echizen replied.

"Don't give me that bullshit." Ryoga rose from his place next to his brother. "You're not invincible. This proves it." He gestured to the injury. "You can't do everything alone. You know what we have to do."

Echizen sighed. He did know but he didn't know what to think of it. "Fine."

Ryoga gave him a cheeky smile. "Yosh!"

"Aah, I hope Echizen's alright." Taka said walking out of the club room with the others.

"He's probably fine." Momo said trying to comfort him. "Ne Mamoshi?"

"Fsshhh, Oishi-sempai does have a tendency to blow things out of proportion sometimes." Kaidou said.

"It highly unlikely that Echizen is bleeding to death." Inui stated while looking through his notes.

"Nya, but Ochibi has been acting strange lately." Kikumaru said. "What if something like that really did happen?"

Everyone gave a light hearted groan. Kikumaru was right. Echizen had been acting more distant from people; like trapped in a dream and not just ignoring everyone like he normal did.

"Whatever it is, we'll see when we get to his house." Fuji said as the group came from the club room and over to Tezuka, Oishi and himself. They all gathered the last of their things and started walking to Echizen's house. After a few minutes the arrived and were a bit surprised when Ryoga answered the door.

"What are you doing here Ryoga-san?" Fuji asked.

"Never mind that right now." He had a wicked grin on his face. "Mina, go pack your bags."

"Doushite?" Momo asked.

"We're going back to the angel world."

Ah, well, there it is. Don't hate me because it took so long. My computer does this thing where it likes to make Microsoft not work for like two weeks to a month so yeah. I would have had it out sooner if that didn't happen.

Hope you guys liked it. I think it's alright. This is all I got so far as ideas. I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea when the next chapter is going to come out. I want to try to get on a steady update schedule but seeing as there is less than two weeks of school left… naw, that's a lie. I'm not gonna study for anything because I have nothing to study for. I've been occupied with my TF2 story and I'm having relationship difficulties but who the hell cares! Chapter one is done! Whoooooo!

I don't wanna have to be one of those people that say 'this many reviews for next chapter' but reviews do help push writers. I don't care how many I get but it would be nice to have a far few. I'm gonna start on the next chapter now so hopefully it'll be out soon.

Okay well that's it. Hope you liked it! I'll see you guys soon!
