Hey! This is my absolute first fanfic ever... I do love 07-Ghost and I'm getting extremely impatient for the next chapter. Anyways for some reason I decided to go write this, and sorry if my English isn't that great. Enjoy ! Please give feedback!

Disclaimer: I do not own 07-ghost, the story was originally created by Amemiya Yuki, and I'm just borrowing these awesome characters.

This occurs after Chapter 87, after Teito Klein is reunited with his mother. I plan on having some AyanamixTeito, but that won't happen for a while. (Sorry!)

Anything italicized is Mikhail (or Raphael, but it's usually just Mikhail)

Then

"What a beautiful soul..."

Ugh. Another dream weird dream. Ever since that perverted bishop told me about how Verloren's scythe wanting beautiful souls I keep on feeling that someone is calling me...

Now

*Boom* (insert loud explosion noises (sorry lazy))

Ouka, Teito, Ea and the king had all turned around towards the direction of the noise. Ayanami had entered the room and glared at Teito and Ea. Ayanami began to launch an extremely high-levelled attack in their direction. The attack was extremely fierce, and it took nearly everything that Teito and Ea had to defend themselves against it. Ouka was terrified as the tall man slowly walked into the room with his dark and cold presence.

"Teito Klein," he said. "You belong to me." He stared his cold, yet dignified stare which seemed to pierce into Teito's consciousness.

Master, we need to get out of here. You were seriously injured by Raphael... even though you did save Ouka.

What am I supposed to do?! I can't disobey Ayanami because of the promise collar! I can't leave my mother here with this man... I need to protect Ouka... get away from here...

Master... let me take over.

"My Master does not belong to you Verloren. He never will. You will not succeed in your mission as long as I protect him."

The tall man merely gazed upon the boy. "Teito Klein... I will not ask again. Come here."

"Ea. Take me and kidnap the girl. Verloren may use the Eye of Raphael when he comes after my master."

Ouka slowly began to feel faint as Mikhail was releasing an excessive amount of pressure was affecting her. "My apologizes Raphael." Ouka's eyelids flickered and began to slowly shut and the last thing she saw was Mikhail's ruby eyes calming her, trying to tell her "Don't worry," and as she fell, Ea gently picked her up.

Ea ran a quick glance to the emperor and then, in his skeletal form, then to Ayanami.

"Ea, I will have you return my fragment to me."

"He will do know such thing. My Master does not desire it... and we are leaving! If you do not stand down, I will release Lv. 40 on your precious Black Hawks."

Mikhail then blew several holes in the ceiling, sprouted wings, and he, Ouka and Ea left.

Ayanami said nothing as they left, and turned his attention to the emperor, stating that he would return his daughter soon. He however, had more important ghosts to entertain, left the king with Teito's mother.

Although Kal (as Ea), Ouka and Teito had narrowly escaped Ayanami's clutches, and Teito reunited with his mother. Teito knew that there wasn't the option to move her, but he felt that she would be safe with the king. Ayanami would not be able to utilize the military's assets and would not be able to move around freely if the entire kingdom was targeting the Blackhawks. Comforted by the thought, as soon as they had escaped from the building, Teito lost consciousness.

"It's so beautiful...it looks just like snow..."

When he woke up, Teito was staring at the ceiling of a hospital room, lying down on a small bed. He could hardly remember what he had dreamt about and figured that he was reminiscing the Raggs Kingdom. Across the room, Kal was no longer in his godly form. He smirked as he saw Teito trying to figure out how to thank him.

" Teito-kun! I was so worried about you!" Ouka looked tired but did her best to look cheerful.

" You'd better thank the princess. She's been using her healing Zaiphon on you for hours."

"That was nowhere near enough the debt Raphael and I owe to him," Ouka retorted back.

" You've been out for at least twelve hours. The entire kingdom's on alert for you two. Oh and it helps to have Miroku-sama's connections... I think I may be able to contact someone at a branch of the army's control office to take off that promise collar that currently binds you to Ayanami.

Teito silently sat there in his bed, bewildered at the fact that he was simply of Ayanami's clutches. "Thank you Kal, Ouka.." He half expected someone to say 'Don't sweat it damn brat.' "Oh no. Where's Frau? Frau was supposed to come and find me..."

There was a silence in the room. Tieto was thinking about Frau and... and... "MIKAGE! I don't know where he is! Hakuren was telling me that... I can't believe it... I forgot who Mikage was... my best friend... I...I." He stumbled out of the bed.

Kal put his hand on Teito's shoulder. "Calm down. We need you to get healed up before you try breaking into Fort Barsburg. Fortunately, no one knows who 'Ea' is. I'll be able to contact the princess' aides and Hakuren Oak. With luck, I'll be able to find out information on the other ghosts. I'm off. Don't cause any trouble. Stay in this room until I'm back and don't let anyone in." With that, Kal headed off dressed in his full military attire.

Ouka led Teito back to the bed and started using her healing Zaiphon on him.

"I'm so sorry," she muttered, "it was my fault that you received such horrible injuries..." her voice trailed off. Teito wanted to say something, but Ouka looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment.

Teito paused. His emerald eyes were no longer emerald, but a deep ruby.

"Roseamanelle, we must speak. You are at no fault for your actions you were not in control of yourself. Neither was Raphael. If you cannot understand that fact...then you are hopeless."

"Mikhail! ...You're right... I... I apologize for my behaviour... and thank you," she said, forcing a smile.

"May I speak to Raphael?"

"Mikhail... do not speak to my mistress in that manner again! Even I will not forgive you..."

"I only spoke the truth."

"Indeed. The Chief-of-Heaven must have been saddened over what has happened to my mistress and I over these years... Is Teito-sama well?"

"Thanks to your mistress he is. His soul is still untainted by Verloren's filth..."

"How is he coping with Pandora's Box and Verloren's body?"

"He will be all right... in the meantime I must repair the locks.

"..."

"What is it?"

"I must apologize, Mikhail... I have not been able to find out information regarding Verloren, or Pandora's Box since we escaped, I have hurt your master, and I was unable to help my mistress for so long."

"It does not matter. Right now what matters is finding Master's precious people, and that Roseamanelle-san is safe."

They paused for a moment. Raphael/ Ouka had just finished healing Teito's body when there was a noise outside the door.

Kal entered with a familiar looking-blond boy, and a certain pink dragon.

"MIKAGE!"

The pink dragon merely replied "BURUPYA!" Teito was overjoyed to see his friends. He wasn't sure if he was going to burst into tears at any moment. Hakuren was relieved that Teito remembered who he was. Teito apologized so sincerely about having forgotten his comrade, Hakuren couldn't help but laugh.

"Well. Glade to see you're fine now Teito." All eyes were on Kal now.

"There's been a bunch of good news since our escape...The entire military's gone in to full alert. A young emerald-eyed boy and his accomplice are wanted for kidnapping the princess and for the destruction for a certain laboratory...the princess' tutor was also kidnapped...Oh and the emperor knows that you are well Roseamanelle-san.

Ouka smiled. She hoped that her father would be safe and that he would help Teito's mother.

"The bad news is that two of the ghosts have been captured... and Relikt has been absorbed by Ayanami."

Teito's heart sank. "Frau...? "

"Frau is currently missing. Fest and Profe have been captured. I don't know how you're supposed to get the remaining Cursed Tickets. Vertrag was absorbed by Ayanami and one of the ghosts has betrayed us.

Teito had sunk. It couldn't possibly get any worse than this he thought. To his dismay, Hakuren spoke up.

"Unfortunately, I did my best to learn everything I could for Teito... and all army control offices have been removed, and their equipment destroyed. The only one who can release those collars now... is...is... Ayanami."

There was a deafening silence.
