A/N: I should mention about the transitions...

X's mean it's been about three hours+ since the last paragraphs, and three periods means a little less than that.

Alluring Secrets, Forbidden Vows: Part Two: Love

"So, Touko's left here for the day? ...Woah, I would've suspected that she'd stay here for as long as her time here would be,"

"And why is that, Lucas?"

"...We both know why, Amanda. She's so timid nowadays, it wouldn't be at the least unexpected if she did stay."

"I know that she is, but you wouldn't expect she'd leave - at all?"

"Well, yeah. Don't tell her I said this, though! Touko would kill me right then and there... Even if she is timid now, she still has that same flare in her heart."

"Hmph... Okay, okay. I won't tell her. But, I think she lets out all that fire out while she's kissing Green."

"You never know, she still could be holding some back... Just wait until she let's it all out one day, sweetheart."

x

Touko never suspected how fun flying would be when she wasn't training. It was early morning then and so she'd have until the end of the day to be flying and seeing old and new sights.

The thoughts overwhelmed her, the possibilities scared and excited her. She felt like screaming and doing circles in the air.

But, she remembered last time she did circles - a huge headache and sick was what she got for the blissful moment. It was fun, yes, but she wasn't going to risk it. Especially today, today was her day.

She got to be alone, for once, even though she still wished Green could come with her. Or even Amanda, but she knew that her answer would've been "no".

. . .

It was still in the morning, but not as early, when she landed in the woods that cornered the left of Nuvema Town - her old home. Her mother and two best friends, Cheren and Bianca, lived there. She silently hoped and prayed that they still did.

Touko tucked in her wings and prayed that no one would see her.

She looked into the window of her old house, seeing her mother watching an old T.V. show. Seeming to have a sad look on her face, and it was everything Touko could do to keep herself from running inside and saying, "I love you, mom!"

The young girl sighed deeply and took a sharp breath, trying to keep tears from falling. She gathered herself together and walked away from the white home.

As she did so, her mother felt a warm and familiar presence. It could only be explained as... Touko. She looked to the window and frowned as she saw nobody or nothing there, just the old settings of Nuvema Town.

Still, she smiled softly as she thought about the good times with her daughter, her heart aching in pain as she thought about her death as well.

Touko looked into Bianca's home next, smiling widely as she saw her two best friends together - it looked as if they were dating, now. In a way, it made her extremely happy. She was just sad that she couldn't congratulate the two.

Bianca smiled widely to her new-found boyfriend, the apparent "nerd", Cheren smiled back and pushed the red-rimmed glasses back to his face.

For some odd reason, the Bianca's smiles were dimmed. Not as bright and cheerful as they used to be - even Cheren shared the same dullness as her. It was curious to Touko and she didn't understand it at first.

Her family and friends dullness was because of her. No, not anything she, herself, did. It was her sudden death, and they all were still silently mourning over her.

Touko smiled as she saw the two kissing, and then she decided it would be best if she left before anyone had saw her. The two shared the same warmness as her mother had, minutes before.

With a quick smile, Touko ran back to the woods, again, trying not to shed tears.

Why, oh why couldn't she see her friends? It was unfair. And cruel.

She felt dumb for coming here, but she needed to see them. And she also wanted to see N as well. But she didn't know where he lived, so it was unlikely that she would.

The girl sighed again, softly hitting her head with her fist with her back against a tree. Her wings still tucked in.

Touko had only seen them for a brief minute each, but she was still so happy that they were okay and well. And that her friends became a couple - she'd always said that it would happen eventually.

And the girl felt a lot of grief and guilt about everything once she thought about their dulled smiles.

Here she was, smiling in Heaven and being with Green, and not once did she worry about her friends and mother. She felt like ripping out all her hair and returning back to happy ignorance.

But had only been an hour since she left, and part of her still wanted to see something.

It was her own grave. Undoubtedly in Old Opelucid City, the day being a Monday as well, she would most definitely be alone. Maybe, just maybe, she could think some things through.

Namely being about how she felt about everything; her own death, her relationship with Green, her mother, her friends, and how... Her old feelings were coming up forsomeone.

She sighed, screw it, I'm going.

Letting her wings go free, she smiled softy as a Patrat looked up at her in awe. The girl put a finger up to her mouth, as if to say "Don't tell anyone, 'kay?"

And then - she began flying again.

While she was smiling, she couldn't help but think of her old Pokemon team. Surely it was with her mother or N. She'd remembered saying that if she ever died, that's who she wanted it to go to. Knowing very well that both of them would be nice to them.

As Touko thought more about it, she remembered seeing a Liepard on the couch next to her mother. So, it was most likely that they went with her.

Her team was simple, really. A Liepard, Mienfoo, Whisimcott, Ninetails, Zebstrika, and her lucky Samurott. Most of her weaknesses covered except for a minor few.

Hopefully, they wouldn't die anytime soon, but she did hope that she'd eventually see them all once again. Heaven wasn't only just for humans, of course.

x

Touko sighed, she couldn't find herself. And it was frustrating, and weird. She didn't know which one it was more of.

But, luckily, she was right. There was no one there, so she didn't have to worry about people seeing her. It gave her more time, too. Eventually, there might be a few others but since it was too early in the morning for anyone to bother coming right then.

She sighed, about close to giving up but then a few yellow and white flowers caught her eye. Touko smiled, thinking that someone must've payed their respects towards a loved or respected one.

Touko walked towards it, and her eyes widened and her body stopped with shock as she looked carefully over the name.

'Touko White'

'October 27th, 1995 - January 4th, 2013'

'A loved and respected woman, she shall be forever missed.'

Her gloved hands covered her mouth as she tried her best not to cry for the third time that day. The flowers were for her, her favorite ones.

And then she began to grow curious of who it was who brought them.

She decided that she might never know, but she guessed it was her mother. So for now, she wouldn't worry about it. And, she'd try not to think about it - it'd piss her off in the end, driving her to insanity.

All she needed to know now was how she died. And that was the only other thing she wanted to know. Everything else would hurt her right now - so that was the only thing that Touko felt that was okay to learn.

The girl felt like her heart had been picked at for enough today, but she wanted to stay at least for the evening.

She looked at her grave for a little while, admiring the hard work she could tell was in it. Nothing she could do, of course. But she loved her grave, as weird as that sounds. Even though she knew that her body lie unconscious underneath her feet.

It was just an unique feeling, thinking that. She didn't have any emotions right then and there, and there wasn't a feeling to explain that other feeling.

Maybe it was a mixture of helplessness and something else? She'd never know.

Touko sighed deeply before taking her eye's off of the stone and walking away.Maybe I should just wonder around a little to, uhm, find new things...? It's worth a shot, anyways.

She smiled as her cold metal bracelet rubbed against her warm skin. She liked the piece of jewelry, honestly. Good thing, too. She'd have to stick with it for a long time.

The brunette walked into some of the trees that surrounded the graveyard, the only way to get to this place was a trail from Old Opelucid.

Honestly, Touko liked the walk from it. It was a beautiful scenery and since her father had died before her, well she knew how to get here. And had walked here before with her mother when she was younger.

x

As she wondered off into the trees, she saw another off beaten trail. But this time, she'd never had seen it before. So, out of curiosity, she started following it.

It seemed like it used to be walked on, a lot. So she was surprised that it still wasn't in use to wherever it went to. There was a small amount of grass in the dirt, with a few flowers along with the shrubs.

Touko found it beautiful, she always loved things like this.

. . .

After a few minutes of walking, she found out where the trail led to.

A outside courthouse - complete with a white gazebo. It had obviously not been used for a very, very long time. Because the concrete stone had grass coming out of the cracks and the gazebo had vines in both the walls and the floor.

If I ever get married one day, the angel said to herself, closing her eyes and smiling, her arms in a form as if she was praying, I want it to be in a place as beautiful as this. It would be the most ideal place for any marriage.

"H-Hey, who are you?" She heard a voice say timidly and she froze, opening her eyes and cautiously putting her arms to her sides.

Touko's eyes widened as she looked at the person, both of them in silence as they studied one another.

It was a male human, with long green hair and bright tea green eyes. He wore a cream coloured button-up shirt and dark jeans. About nineteen... And very tall.

And it was this human, who could only be named as one person; N.

She had been caught by someone she knew, just like she feared she would.

At the moment their eyes met,

The pathetic angel fell for him,

As the forbidden feelings grew inside her,

She opened Pandora's box.

Maybe, if she had lucked out, N wouldn't remember her.

And yet, she kind of wanted for him too. As she looked into his eyes more, she felt the old emotions stir inside of her.

The young human was shocked to see such a beautiful young woman in a place where only he thought knew existed.

The girl wore only white - a short pair of shorts with a metal chain as a belt, a white tank top that didn't exactly cover her whole stomach.

And... And... And she had dark chocolate brown hair and stunning blue eyes.

It couldn't be, N thought, looking at the frightened woman, T-Touko died months ago. It can't be her. But as he said it, he felt more confident it was her.

N also noticed something white that was rubbing against her legs.

"I-I asked, who are you?" He said a little louder, but still timid as ever.

Touko took a deep, shaky breath, "M-My name is T-Touko Wh-White."

His eyes widen as he noticed that she was shaking, "T-That's impossible," He felt tears form as he looked at her more, "S-She d-died months ago..."

Touko still shook, frightened if any other angels would see her conversing with N, she knew trouble was going to stir, "I-It's not," She stopped shaking, "I'm an angel."

She stood up straight, ready for the man to say something. But he looked at her with wide eyes for what seemed for forever. She was scared, and N needed to think.

She's a spitting image of her, N thought, It... It wouldn't completely surprise me if this woman is telling the truth. Touko was so pure and innocent that it would make sense if Arceus did make her an angel.

The girl's stomach started feeling awkward, like she was going to throw up, but she also felt happy butterflies. She was talking to N, again, after all.

Touko loved him, and this was what she wanted. And he was the reason that she could only say "I like you," to Green.

"...Touko?" He said after a moment, "B-But... Prove to me that you're an angel."

Her eyes widened then softened, he didn't usually talk this harsh to anyone before, but he looks a little scared, though, "Of course."

She felt air go onto her wings as she let them go instead of keeping them tight to her back. It felt nice to do this after a little bit.

The girl suspected for him to say something, but then she felt arms around her back. It was N embracing her, crying even.

Touko stood there in shock for a second, then she hugged her friend back and smiled weakly. Her heart was pumping blood like crazy, it felt, even skipping beats. But yet she stood there, as timidly and calm as usual.

It was a few minutes before N let go of her, tears streaming down his gentle face.

"I-I'm so sorry, Touko," N breathed, but managed to smile softly at her, "I'm just so happy to see you, it's been a long time."

"It's no problem, don't worry about it, N," She smiled softly, N feeling like his heart would begin to melt, "And I'm glad to see you too, it's been a long time, for sure."

. . .

The girl sat, hugging her knees and her wings tucked in as she listened to N talking about everything that happened since she... Died.

They were sitting on a bench nearby some trees, it was near where they were standing and N didn't think that he could handle standing up for much longer. Because of how happy I am to see you, dear Touko, He said in his mind.

She was right about Cheren and Bianca hooking up and her mother taking care of her Pokemon. And she was glad that N was so happy talking to her.

"Hey, N," She said, looking at the gazebo in front of them, he looked at curiously.

"Uhm, yes?" He said nervously, looking cautiously at the angel whom of which had played with his heartstrings. And it didn't help that he loved her just like she did, either.

"D-Do you know how I died?" Touko took a chance at asking this.

N looked at her weirdly, "Y-Yeah... Don't you?"

The angel bit her lip softly and shook her head, burying her face into knees, "No. Arceus and none of the others would tell me anything about it, sadly. All I was told that it was someone who did so, and that it was fairly recent."

N looked at her, his gaze softening, "You might not want to know, Touko."

She looked straight into his eyes, "It's better than having to be curious for the rest of my life, N! I can't live without knowing that."

He took pity upon the poor soul's weakness, "I-It was my fath- I mean, a monster who killed you. Ghetsis, the fucking monster just shot you." N's teeth clenched up, signaling he was mad about it, "He was arrested shortly after, though. Put on a life sentence."

Touko looked at him, not completely understanding why N was so mad. It should've her who was so angry, but she felt calm like usual.

"Thank you for telling me, N. It looked like it was a little hard to do so," She smiled softly at him, he instantly got away from his anger.

"Y-You're welcome," He said after a moment, smiling gently.

It was beginning to get to evening now, and Touko remembered telling Amanda that she'd see her then.

"N, I have to leave right soon," She got up from off the comfortable bench, realizing that she spent the whole day talking to him.

"O-Oh, you do?" He asked, clearly disappointed.

"Yeah," She bit her lip, letting her feathers free again.

"Touko?" N blushed, hard, "C-Can I see you tomorrow?"

She smiled and nodded, "Of course! I'll come by early morning!"

N smiled, red in his cheeks, "Really?"

Nodding again, "Yup! Now, I should go, but I'll see you later, right? ...Don't forget not to tell anyone about seeing me, though."

The green-haired boy nodded this time, unable to say words as he watched her fly up into the air. Amazed by the situation, and her beauty.

Little did both the two know was that the other was in love with them.

x

N's mother wouldn't approve of him and Touko's relationship.

Neither would N's "forced" fiance. He was having an arranged marriage, something he hoped that would never come into his life.

And Arceus wouldn't approve of Touko's and N's relationship.

A angel and a human's love was also strictly prohibited, it was illegal in every way.

Green and Amanda also wouldn't approve, too. Namely for one thing; they both thought that Green and Touko had a great relationship.

But hell, neither of them really cared.

Ever since Touko met N in the courtyard - she had been visiting him everyday for a week. Not one of them telling other people about it.

Both of them kept their emotions away, that is until a week after N first saw Touko again.

They were talking about useless nothings; things they both liked and talked about when Touko was alive. Of course, they both loved it, though. They were together.

N smiled as Touko let her wings out from the tight hold on her back.

But he blushed a few seconds after asking her; "T-Touko, can I touch your w-wings?"

Touko's face turned a light pink, N's a full red, "Of course, knock yourself out." She smiled softly, watching as he started stroking the soft feathers.

"I-It's really soft," N said sitting back down on the ground, where both of them were at.

"T-Thank you," Touko smiled, closing her eyes as she laughed quietly.

She stopped laughing once she felt something against her lips.

N kissed her, his eyes closed and her's open, she felt herself blushing as red as N did earlier.

After a second, she softened up and closed her's again, letting herself fall into the kiss as she did with Green.

And, Touko admitted, this felt so much more right than she did with Green. And, it gave her more pleasure, too. She loved every minute of their first kiss.

It ended when N broke apart it, so they could both breathe once again.

"Touko, I love you more than anything," N said after a second, no apparent blush on his face this time.

"N, I..." She wanted to say the same thing, she really did. But she knew that an angel's and a human's love was forbidden, she couldn't ever have anything with him.

"N, I... I can't," And with that, she disappeared, one of her feathers left behind.

The man's green eyes widened. That was when he remembered the law, and he felt so stupid and dumb for not remembering it earlier. No matter what Touko felt for him, she had a duty to Arceus before she could think of herself.

And this was one of the many reasons of why he respected her so dearly.

He grabbed the feather and then began walking to his home - saddened about losing Touko... Again.

. . .

Touko slid down against the tree in sadness and anger. She couldn't tell N that she loved him... She hated herself for that. Touko hurt possibly one of best friends and the only person she'd ever truly loved.

Then she remembered; the only way to be able to be with N.

It was that, the shotgun she was given to by one of Giratina's servants. They said they should know what to do if she should ever need something that Arceus couldn't do.

She grabbed the slender object out of her bag, hidden in her stocking.

It was cool against her fingers, and then she finally realized what she had to do;shoot herself. It was obvious.

She put the thing next to her right temple, pulling the trigger.

But when nothing happened, her eyes widened and she put it down. Breathing a shaky sigh, knowing that it was dumb of her to think something as simple as that could break one of Arceus's laws.

Touko walked back to the courtyard, and that's when she saw her; Giratina in the flesh.

"Oh, so you must be that little angel that just tried to kill herself, correct?" She said in an evil tone, smirking.

The woman had long black hair and dark purple eyes that looked like daggers, somewhat. She wore a long purple and black dress with a little yellow mixed between. About a foot taller than Touko.

The angel's eyes widened as she looked at her and nodded, unable to say any words.

"Yay! Then now, I have something to work with," Giratina smiled, "What was it for, beautiful sweetheart?"

The devil's voice frightened her, but she had to continue on with what she was about to do, "I want to be with someone; a human, miss."

"Oh, really~! That's so romantic!" She said, semi-sarcastically.

Touko didn't say anything, her heart skipping beats.

"Well, you do know what the price is for me to do so? To turn you into a human girl," Giratina laughed.

"Yes, you want my wings," Touko said quietly.

"You know it, girly," The woman smiled deviously, "And once I get them; you shall be able to live and love the man - or woman. And also, the contract will be broken if your partner shall die."

Touko smiled pathetically, "I'm ready then."

I'll abandon my pure heart,

If I'm allowed to live and love you,

I won't hesitate to cut off the wings,

Let me surrender myself to the devil.

Giratina instantly transported the two to a dark room, chains all over the ceiling.

She told Touko to go ahead and sit in a chair nearby a lever, telling her that she might feel some slight pain soon. And after that was over, then she'd change everything that needed to be changed in order for her to live with N.

Touko sat in the chair and the older woman wrapped some chains around her left wing, scared of what was going to happen to her.

"I'd suggest closing my eyes now," Giratina said, pulling the lever, hard.

The poor girl felt tugging on her wing, a lot of it... That is, until...

Touko's pain-filled screams clouded the room as the horrible sound of ripping flesh came with it. Now, only one wing remained on her.

(Another) A/N: Theoretically, I kind of just made N a girl... And I just realized this, after writing it.
Oh my god, I love being a writer sometimes.

Honestly, this is the longest chapter I've ever written to a fanfiction before... I feel so proud of myself!~ Really, I'm not kidding for once.

And the next part is probably the end, which saddens me... Very much. But, it has been extremely fun writing something different for a change! So yeah, I am enjoying this.

I should add this: I'm sorry if I grossed out of disgusted anybody by the second-to-last sentence here. I felt that since it's not very long, I shouldn't really put anything to it...

Please R&R!~ It means a lot!
