"And he shall send his angels to guide you all your ways" Psalms 91:11

Asuka Daiki Jr. looked out the window, glumly.

He was sitting at a desk, facing a window, feeling, in every sense of the word: miserable. His father, a very well known detective, was working late tonight. And his mother had tragically passed away giving birth to him.

'So…' he thought sarcastically 'Looks like I have the place to myself.'

The "place" he was referring to was a penthouse apartment in one of the biggest apartment buildings in town!

The question was this: If he owned all of these things that were supposed to make life easier, why was he so miserable?

He looked at a nearby phone, considering inviting his friends over. But gave up the idea as quickly as it came into his mind. 'What's the point?' He wondered.

And that's when he heard it.

It was a gentle fluttering of wings and a soft cooing sound. He looked up and saw the cause: a small, white, dove. "Well…that's what I get for leaving the window open." he said. He then tried to shoo the dove away but it refused to move. Not wanting to get too fierce with such a small and delicate creature, he simply decided to try feeding it some breadcrumbs he had in the pantry. "Want to stay for dinner?" he asked. The dove cooed happily in response. 'I can't believe I'm talking to a bird.' He thought bluntly. "Ok, but it's just us for tonight." he said.

He then turned around to see something that scared and calmed him at the same time.

The "dove" had seemingly turned into a girl about his age, and was currently sitting on the desk and facing him. She had long silky red hair and was wearing a white kimono, so needless to say, she wasn't just pretty. She was beautiful.

But the most amazing thing about her was the pair of snowy white wings protruding from her back.

"I said you're not going insane, silly!" she answered.

He was long unconscious by the time she said that…
