Hello! I'm back with a new story. As the title suggested, it comes from the song "Alluring Secret Black Vow". I'm sure some of you read fics that are based off this song. So, that's why I made a version with our goddesses here :3
I'm not quite sure whether I'll be including all 9 of them here but I'll see what fits the best.

Oh and, consistent uploads are not promised.

At the Sanctus Valhalla, where peace and joy was what it suppose to resemble, a brawl was breaking out at the High Court of the Angels.

"Father, I was only saving the cat that was stuck on the tree!"

"Fool! Have you lost your mind? That was a black cat! It's a trap! I had taught you to never get any closer to those black creatures! They're demons! What if you accidentally brought them back to the palace? Peace will be disrupted!" A bearded-man with a silver crown sitting on the glass throne smacked the armrest with his fist, creating a web of cracks across the lower part of the throne.

A hand laid itself onto the king's shoulder and a soft voice sounded beside him. "Your Majesty, I'm sure she was just being kind. Can you forg-"

"NO!" The queen shuddered when the king suddenly shouted. " Such act shall not forgiven. Besides, why were you there at the Borderline? I suppose I had long restricted entry to that area."

The girl gasped as she stuttered to explain the truth. "I...I just...wanted to get down to the earth once...t-to witness the human's daily ongoings..."

She hesitantly looked up to meet the king's eyes only to find an unamused gaze that was focusing solely on her. "Very well then..."

He closed his amber eyes for a few breath before he opened them again, a cold stare then bore into the girl's own eyes.

"Guards, send her down to the earth and make sure that she will never come back again."

In an instant, the hubbub of gasps and shocking exclamation of the courtiers filled the hall. Two armed men at the entrance walked forward and lifted the girl by the arm before dragging her off the court.

"Y-Your Majesty, please reconsider!" The queen cried out but the king hold his hand up and shook his head.

"Impossible. Such behaviour can not be tolerated, even if she's our daughter. I will have her take it as a lesson in order for her to grow up."

The girl struggled as she turned herself to take one last look at the king - a disappointed and stern stare - before the cold metal door came into view as it closed and shut her out forever.


In the middle of the merciless night, where strong winds were sweeping through the street, threatening to engulf anything on its path, a fallen angel was sobbing while hugging herself tightly from the never-ending coldness surrounding her. Her body was in a deteriorating state, her face pale from dehydration and she was shuddering in pain from the scratches all over her body, yet no one that passed by bothered to even spare her way a glance.

She slowly dragged herself towards the dark alley and found a spot beside the dumpster. She rested her stiffen back against the cold brick wall of the small cottage located at the end of the street. Beside her laid a torn straw mat. She took it and uncoiled it before placing it on the floor and she slept on it.

But before she fell into the slumber, a click and the shut of the door caught her attention as she opened her eyes, but quickly closed it as it was only a maid coming out of the inn to dump the rubbish. When the maid saw the girl, she immediately pinched her nose and threw the rubbish into the dumpster before leaving as quick as possible.

The fallen angel sighed when the maid was out of sight. She probably thought that I am a begglar. It's not like I can blame her anyway, given how I look right now. She then tried to fall back into her sleep.

A few minutes later, another door clicked open. She heard the footsteps approached her and stopped, probably someone that wanted to throw their rubbish again.

But there was no sound of any object hitting the inside of the dumpster, only a zipping sound. She then felt something soft rubbing her wet blue hair. She opened her eyes and found that a beautiful woman was smiling at her, she had the sweetest smile the angel had ever seen. After a few moment of staring she realized the young lady was drying her hair with a grey towel.

Not only the woman had a beautiful face, but a melodious voice as well.

"What is a girl like you doing outside in the cold night? Look at all the scratches! Come with me, I will treat your injury." The ashen-haired woman grabbed the angel's hand making the angel flinched slightly but eventually she gave in to the warmth touch of the other woman. The lady lifted the angel up to her feet and led her into the cottage.

What greeted the angel when she got inside was a sharp light that contrasted the darkness lurking outside. The angel had to adjust her vision by blinking a few times before her eyes landed on the bright blue wallpaper adorning the room. It was decorated with murals of flocks of birds flying freely in the sky, with a few dust of clouds lining the middle. Without her realization, the angel moved her hand over the birds.

"I painted them with my mother when I was four, it's a bit surprising that the color still lasted even till now." The angel looked at the woman as she trailed her fingers dreamily along the mural, a wistful smile suggesting that the painting must had brought up some sad memories. After a few seconds of reminiscing, the grey-haired woman's doleful eyes suddenly widened as if she remembered something.

"Ahh, my bad! I forgot about your injury! Please sit down on that chair and give me a few moment, I will be back." The woman hurried to a room of what seemed like a kitchen. The angel took a seat on the chair as instructed. Beside the chair, a photo frame was sitting on a tea table. There was a young girl and a woman hugging her from behind. Both of them had matching eye colour and the hair colour of the woman was a darker gray than the little girl. At the corner of the photo scribbled a few words in faint blue ink, so small yet noticeable, it wrote 'I miss you'.

...

"Sorry for the wait!" The grey-haired woman called out as she emerged from the kitchen with some bandages and antiseptic on hand. She then knelt down in front of the fallen angel and began cleaning the wounds. While the woman was patching the injuries, she spoke. " I'm sorry that my house is kinda small, hope you wouldn't mind. Oh! By the way, my name is Kotori Minami. May I know your name?"

"Sonoda Umi."

"Umi, as of the sea?"

Umi nodded in response.

"I see. So, Umi-chan, can I touch them? I've been wondering about them since I saw you back then at the alley." Kotori pointed behind Umi and the angel looked behind her back.

"Y-you can see them?!" Impossible. The king had make sure that no human can see Umi's wings before she was thrown to the mortal world.

"Yes. You're an angel, am I right?" Kotori tidied the remnants of the cut bandage as she walked to the trash bin outside the kitchen and threw them.

Umi silently nodded.

Kotori sat down on the chair in front of Umi and cocked her head. "Isn't angels suppose to be in the heaven? "

"Yes, however, I was expelled from there because of my mistake. And I don't think I can ever go back again." said the angel as she lowered her head in distress. A hand then found its way to the top of Umi's head and started caressing it. "Then, why don't you stay here together with me?"

Umi looked up to see that pair of amber in front of her lightened with sincerity. "I...I feel bad for imposing you."

"Don't worry! I wouldn't mind having a company. Besides, I have been wanting one...Its just feel a bit lonely to have nobody to talk to..." Grief began to take over the woman's eyes that was filled with brightness just a while ago. This made Umi thought about the words on the photo. She now had a faint understanding of the message.

A deep part of Umi ached seeing the sight. She thought that such kind woman didn't deserve such sadness. She wanted to wipe the sorrow away, wanted to bring back the light in the lady, so she abruptly grabbed hold of Kotori's hand - whom was startled from the sudden action - and looked straight into her eyes.

"Umm, Minami-san, I...I will...If you don't mind, please let me stay with you! I'll make sure you won't have to feel lonely again!"

Kotori's eyes watered as she hugged the blunette. "Thank you...this means a lot to me." She slowly pulled apart from the hug but her hands never left Umi's hands.

Kotori let out a baby smile. "Let's take care of each other from now on, no matter what happen."


A few weeks had passed since they've been living together. They relied on each other on every occasion since then. Umi got to know more about Kotori as they shared details and stories about themselves before they met each other. Every morning, they would venture deep into the forest at the countryside and settled down on the spot in the prairie where they can get a good view of the deer, cows, wildebeest and other herbivores that were grazing on the open meadow. Kotori would set up the easel and Umi would stand beside her as she watched Kotori paint the landscape. Day by day, Umi learned the technique of painting.

One day in the middle of spring, Umi suggested that they climb the mountain to paint the sunset and Kotori agreed.

Before they left, Kotori packed a lunch box for two. Umi offered to carry the canvas and the easel as they climbed the slanting hill. When they felt tired, they paused their journey and sat on a huge tree stump to have lunch. They chatted about almost everything as they rested. After satisfying the gurgling stomach, they resumed the journey. At the nick of the time, they arrived to see the dazzling sun began to set in the gold-painted sky. They hurriedly set up the equipment and began capturing every curves and lines of the scenery onto that blank space that was waiting to be dressed with pure elegance. They painted and painted, until the sun was now resting in its nest.

Umi wiped away the sweat on her forehead as she inspected the opus of her hard work. Kotori had to suppress her amusement when she looked at her companion's artwork. It was a splendid work done for a beginner that had just pick up the skill of painting. Still, Umi was no match for Kotori's sense of art. When Umi looked at Kotori's painting, it felt like she was staring at the scenery from a window, so genuine and alive.

Umi was truly captivated not only by the painting, but the painter as well.

She wondered why there's a tingling feeling inside of her whenever Kotori is near. It's not like Umi hated being with her, it's the other way round, she enjoyed staying by the painter's side. She might have brushed it off if she didn't caught the moment Kotori brushed her sidebangs to the back of her ear. As if on time, the breezy evening wind flew past them and Kotori's grey hair fluttered behind her. The scene made Umi wondered about the true form of an angel.

Umi continued to stare at Kotori without realizing that the ashen-haired girl had finished packing up and was ready to leave.

"Umi-chan, are you okay?" Kotori called out as she saw Umi looking at her. "W-what? A-ah, it's you Kotori. Um, I'm fine." Umi blushed as she realized she was caught staring at the object of her affection. Kotori giggled softly at the cute reaction from the angel. "It's getting late now, we should go home as soon as possible."

"R-right." Umi stuttered as she once again offered to carry the painting equipment. Both of them walked side by side with each other as they headed back to their warm little nest.

As the women slowly disappeared from view, a shadow figure surfaced from a tree, a dark aura surrounded the figure as it hummed with a sinister smile. "An angel with a human...interesting, I'm dying to see how the angel will last without breaking down." The figure took a last look at the trail where the girls left and disappeared into thin air, leaving a dead tree in its wake.

Adios!
