Michiki's note: Ko-chan requested this fic. I've never had anyone request a fic before. Therefore, naturally, this fic is also DEDICATED to Ko-chan (a.k.a.- Killua Kiken na/XPKoganeiXP). ^-^; ENJOY!!!!


Warnings:

AU. I no longer fear it; AU!!! Well, it is also a bit of a twisted Alternate Universe, at that. *Michiki chuckles evilly in the background*

OOC. No one besides Killua Kiken Na can represent an absolute perfect characterization on ANY fic, my personal opinion. However, I did TRY. Trust me on this, I read in between the subtitled lines of Megami Kouhosei and TRIED. *HUGE sweatdrop*

Shounen-ai is IMPLIED (ZeroxHiead; more of a Zero+Hiead, to tell you the truth). Not enforced, I-M-P-L-I-E-D. As I said before, I TRIED. -.-;

Disclaimer: I barely own the memory of the series, how could I possibly own it all?

RELIQUIA: (Note, Spanish word for "Relic")
Occupants of the Sky
-------------------------------------------------------------

A lone dove flew across a vast sea, a dark forest, and into the sky. The dove flew through the clouds and against the wind. The dove soared higher in the sky--only to slam into an invisible forcefield. Beyond this forcefield lied an extravagant white castle sustained by a cluster of clouds. Like bees swarming through the forest when under an attack, musical notes trilled throughout the many corridors of the castle, bringing joy or regret to the ears of a brunette angel.

"Do you ever question your life?" sang a cat-eared spirit named Kizna standing next to a blue transporter. "Do you ever wonder why? Do you ever see in your dreams only castles in the sky? Oh, tell me why do we build castles in the sky?"

The previously mentioned brunette angel known as Zero inched his way towards Kizna's area with his hands clamped over his ears.

~WHY did I ever allow Kizna to sing on Fridays? WHY?~ Zero thought as he neared the pink-haired spirit.

"Oh tell me why. All the castles way up hi-aaaah!" the song was interrupted when Kizna jumped as she felt something poke her on the side. "Argh! ZERO!!"

Kizna dropkicked Zero. The impact hurled Zero to the ceiling, but he floated back down to his feet, unharmed. "What was THAT for?"

"For sneaking up on me!" Kizna huffed. "Why did you interrupt my singing?"

~Why NOT interrupt?~ Zero thought, but answered, "I need help with training for the preparation of the relic."

"It looks like you've gotten rid of your fear of heights already, so," Kizna pondered aloud. "What's the problem?"

The angel chibified and began to twiddle his fingers. "Well..."

"Well?" pressed Kizna.

"The Boss doesn't want me using EX, lest I destroy the relic's outer shell," explained Zero.

"You've come to the wrong person to complain to," sighed Kizna. "I don't think that you'll EVER be able to control your EX. But, I know someone who can help."

~*~moments later~*~

An angel named Clay pushed up his glasses with his index finger. "Interesting."

"So, you'll be able to help me?" Zero questioned.

"Yes, with the right equilibrium to the nimbus routes within the thermals of Owen," began Clay while forming clouds into equations in mid air. "We might just be able to-"

"One question!" Kizna interrupted. "WHY do you STILL wear those infernal humane glasses? You're an angel now, for crying outloud!"

"It's pretty hard to break out of a human habit, Kizna," Saki interjects while pointing at Kizna's ears. "Or else, you would have gotten rid of your ears long ago.

Kizna's cat ears drooped as a few strands of steam rose from the top of her head. "It's different with us. We are barely spirits, THEY on the other hand," Kizna referred to the male angels. "Should learn to let go."

"Fine," Clay snapped his fingers and the glasses disappeared with a {POOF!}. "As I was saying, we should be able to suppress your EX for a while until after you reach the realm of the relic."

Kizna and Saki gawked at Clay for a moment. Saki's red hair literally stood on end.

"That's great! SUGOI!" Zero exclaimed excitedly. "There's only one more thing I need help with, then."

"What's that?" Kizna, Saki, and Clay asked in one voice.

"How do I FIND the realm of the relic?" Zero mumbled while looking at the ceiling and with his hand under his chin.

Clay, Saki, and Kizna facefaulted.
