Hello. i'm Tala. This is the first story i have written on here, so please review your honest thoughts.

Hi. I'm Medori. I'd just like to say that we do not own 07 ghost or any of its charaters. We only wrote this to show our imagination to others.

What do you mean we. I wrote this!

Yes but we are a bit skitsofrenic.

Well, it has never been proven. But please enjoy the story.

All is going well, I thought. Those old military coots didn't know what hit them. The explosion had hid my intentions. And as long as The Eye of Gabriel can hide both his own, and The Eye of Michael's energy, there was no reason why I can't pull this off. Trying to look as innocent as possible, I had caught my arm in the blast. The blood that trickled down me saved from blame when the medical offices arrived. After a once over with healing zaiphon and dressing the wound, I was free to go back to the temporary accommodation.

"So how did it go Salayla?" Kura asked as soon as he was certain no-one else could hear.

"Good." I replied, giving him a menacing look with my brown eyes, firmly closing the subject.

Four pairs of eyes, belonging to the other people in the room, lit up with triumph. Though I strictly forbad speaking of the successful steal of The Eye from the Barsburg Empire, it didn't stop Dezra from letting an excited giggle slip out, her long dark brown hair falling over her face. Kayra, Caylib and Atona's faces were alight with happiness. Finally after ten years of waiting, scheming and gathering up information, our home land, The Kingdom of Raggs, was one step closer to being resurrected.

The pain insured that the memory never left. I was only about seven when Raggs was attacked. A year earlier, my older brother had run off with his friends who were Sky Pirates much to my family's disgust. We were the family of a House of God, so he was pretty much disowned. Barsburg was not stupid enough to attack a House of God, but my parents were at a friend's place. I was being teased by them because my zaiphon was a manipulation one, which was unheard of in the family. Being sick of their laughter, I started to walk home. About half way home was when the bomb hit. Sprinting back, I was too late. Moving the house beams was easy with my zaiphon but by the time I found them, everyone was dead but mother. When she saw me her eyes lit up. As I kneeled over her, tears streaming down my face she made faint gurgling noise as she tried to speak. She put her hand in mine, placing a bag in it. With a last faint smile, the light faded from her eyes. Rage suddenly consumed me and I vowed to take vengeance on whoever did it. Balling up my fists I felt the pouch. Curiosity distracting me from the rage but not the pain, I opened it up and looked inside. That's how I meet Gabriel.

There was one job they had left to do, the ultimate alibi. The King of Barsburg had decided to have a meeting with the Pope. Kayra and Dezra had been working their magic for months. After gaining favour with the King by protecting him from an attempted assassination, they convinced him to let us all be his body guards. With Atona, Caylib, and Kayra's offensive, Kura and Dezra's healing, and my manipulation zaiphon we were immediately accepted, much to the disgust of the military. But Caylib was a master at faking documents, so there was nothing anyone could say about it. All we had to do is be the Kings guards while he talked to the Pope. Easy as pie.

I never saw the Pope's face. The veil was too thick. I'm surprised he didn't trip coming up the steps towards us. Though it was agreed between them to only have six guards each, the king had positioned about 30 soldiers out the back, ready to move on the order. One of the Pope's guards caught my eye. His left arm was alive with manipulative zaiphon under the flowing white robe they all wore. Of all the other bishops he was clearly the strongest. As they came closer, a dreadfully familiar cold swept over me. I tried hard to control the expression on my face as I realised he was one of the 7 ghosts. I forced down panic as the formalities began between Pope and King, Bodyguard and Bishop. The last two ghosts I had meet had been the traitors Ea and Randkalt, and it wasn't pleasant. I pushed my fair deeper as I shook his hand, looking past the veil and glasses into his brown eyes.

Don't worry Salayla, I will protect you.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes; Gabriel was putting his nose in as usual.

He has kind eyes, I thought. Seems like a nice guy.

Gabriel snorted, but said no more.

As we moved into the fortress, the formalities ended and the snide remarks begun.

"What is with the young guard?" The Pope started, voice formal, but clearly hinting that we were inadequate.

The King's face was unchanged by this, and judging by his answer he had dismissed the subject.

"They are more than enough."

Looking over at my friends, I noticed Kayra, who is easily offended, was struggling to control her anger. Hoping no-one would notice I sent her a message with my zaiphon. It made her smile. When we got to the room where they were to have their conversation it was arranged that only one from each guard would go with them. Kayra followed them in with one of the bishops and the door was firmly closed behind them. I picked up one of the chairs and sat by the opposite wall to everyone else so I could keep an eye on the bishops. Just as I got comfortable the ghost/bishop came and sat next to me. It was strait up awkward.

"Hello, I'm Bishop Castor." He announced, offering his hand with a kind smile.

"Salayla." I retorted rudely, ignoring his hand.

The smile didn't leave his face as he dropped his hand. Experience had taught me that the only people I could rely on were my friends.

"Nice defusing of the situation earlier with your friend." He said in a low voice, still smiling.

Ignoring him again, I got a book out of my pocket and busied myself with reading it.

So he noticed, I thought.

Well yea he is the 'tying ghost'. He is attuned to your type of zaiphon. Gabriel inserted.

Mmm.

"Well," Bishop Caster tried again, "you're certainly a lot more powerful than your friends."

This one worked. I hated people who belittled my friends. I snapped my book shut.

"What do you want?" I venomously whispered at him.

"I want to know what a bunch of incredibly powerful Raggs teenagers are doing protecting the king that is responsible for their countries ruin." He replied with that irritating smile still stuck to his face.

I snorted, "Do you really thing he is responsible for that, Fest?"

That dislodged the grin off his face. I flicked through my book trying to find my page again, the corner of my mouth pulling up. I suddenly looked up; hearing a noise under the murmur of everyone else's talking. It came from the room where Kayra, the King and the Pope were. I was out of my seat so fast only Bishop Caster saw me. Using zaiphon to open the door before I got there, I rushed in only to freeze instantly. As people filed in behind me, my body screamed at me to be afraid, but shock was the only thing I felt. As I came back to my sensors, Bishop Caster stiffened behind me and hissed so low that only I could hear, "Ayanami!"

Salayla, get out of here, Gabriel suddenly popped up, if he finds out you are Eve reborn...!
