Access:... you go do that... I'm gonna introduce the new chapter! CHAPTER TWO IS HERE! READ IT! P.s. DISCLAIMER! NONE OF CHARACTERS ARE THE HEARTS MINSTRELS!

Chapter Two.

"Fin Fish, you have committed a most dreadful crime. This is your punishment." a man voice said. A young girl stood all alone, her hands were tied up and she only had her green hair upon her head, nothing more. Her heart beat was slow but got faster as she got closer to a door that seemed to lead to no where. Natsukis heart seemed to be beating as hers did, A single tear ran down the girls face. There was one thing that was different about the girl, that separated her from a human, and that was the white wings on her back. As she arrived at the door, a dark feeling came upon Natsuki, and a man with dark black hair was seen. "Come Fin Fish, I have a place for you." his voice echoed. "Fin."

The light returned to Natsukis eyes, and the first thing she saw, although blurred was Shinji. "...Natsuki..." his voice called to her weakly as he wept. "Shinji... you're a boy aren't you? Boys don't cry" she said as she placed her hand on his face and dried his tears with her hand. His large hands lifted her off his knee and into his arms "I thought I lost you" he said trying to hold his tears in "I can cry for you can't I?" he asked as he held her tighter. Natsuki found her self blushing, and for some odd reason crying. That's when she recalled the dream, but she ignored this, right now wasn't the time. "Shinji... why are you in my bed room?" she asked, she hadn't looked around really, all she saw right now was him. "Your room?" he repeated then he laid her head back on his knees "We're in the middle of the street right out side the movie theater." he said as his eyes showed the worry he felt for her. "Huh you mean..." she said in a dazed voice. His eyes widened as he watched hers close once more, this time they wouldn't open for another 4 hours.

"Natsuki?" a warm voice said. She felt a soft warmth on her hand when her eyes shot open "I really was hit by a car?!" she finished her question. This time she wasn't on the street, she was in a white room on a hospital bed. Her mothers eyes were filled with tears "Natsuki's awake Chiaki she's awake!" she said as she jumped up and hugged her tightly. "Oww mom..." she started but it was to late her dad had joined in on the hug. "What's going on?" she asked with a blank look on her face. "You were hit by a car, and Shinji brought you here." she said like the words were a bad memory. "It's not that bad... you were barely harmed, you'll just have to wear a leg and arm brace for a while" she said relieved it wasn't that bad. Natsuki blushed slightly "...he carried me..." she repeated what her mother said. Maron smiled softly "He claims the ambulence was taking to long" she said with a small laugh. Natsuki laughed along with her but her heart was racing. Her eyes were becoming more distant as she thought of the boy I guess he went back to school... she thought, her heart sank. A sudden cough could be heared from the bed next to hers "I think I got a cold" a familiar voice muttered. Chiaki looked over at the boy and smirked "or maybe someone's just talking about you" he said. Natsuki found her self blushing, nervous, and happy all at the same time. "...Maybe..." the boy muttered as he rubbed the back of his head. Her hand was shaking as she lifter her self up, the iv fell out of her arm but it didn't slow her down. Her heart was now close to his, her arms wrapped around his upper torso, and her head resting on his shoulder. Maron placed her hand over her mouth as she stood up, but she was taken away by Chiaki to the outside of the room. "...Let them talk" he said softly as he brought his lips closer to her ear. A chill went down her spine as she turned to him then pulled him into a tight hug "it brings back memories...".

"Thank you Shinji" the shakyness in her voice became worse as tears rolled down her cheeks. "There's no reason to thank me... I didn't protect you right..." he said as he held her tighter to his chest. She pulled away from him and placed her hand on his cheek "you're wrong, I've always felt safest when with you, and you brought me here... Please accept my thank you." she said as her eyes gazed right into his. His cheeks became a darker red as she said each word, she could feel his heart beating faster and faster. ...Fin...no... Natsuki, I'm so happy we were reborn together... memories flooded into his mind, and a smile appeared upon his face. "Your welcome" he said the grin never disappearing. After what seemed like for ever his embracement took over, he wanted to hold her forever but it was strange... and he soon found out why it had lasted so long. "...She's sleeping" he said and dropped his head. "Well id she wakes up and we're still like this I'm gonna get hell" he said with a sigh as he lay her down on the bed.

A black figure in a far off area made his presence known that night. A beautiful piece of art had become a messenger from hell it's self. A young woman lost her free will to a demon, and a stone cross became gold once more. The power now passed on to a child asleep in a hospital, and a heaven sent message arrived. "Access Time, It seems we failed all those years ago... the devil was reborn, mortal but still dangerous. Access please give this message to Maron, and Chiaki. It pains me to say this but, Fin Fish, Natsuki, has been given Marons powers... and she must seal away the demons. There is one last bit of bad news... we believe the Devil is aiming for revenge on Fin. Access you must get this message to her.

Sincerely,

Kami-sama." this letter lay on the bed on Shinji.
