Misha rushed out of the apartment, catching up to Kotarou as he went into the elevator.

"Waities, Kotarou-kun! I just saw Shia-san outside!!! Suuu!" Misha grabbed on to Kotarou's arm.

"I'M GOING TO WORK!!!" Kotarou roared, jerking away from Misha.

"B-b-but Kotarou-kuns…" Misha whispered, obviously scared of Kotarou now. "Shia-san…and…but…" Turning into her 'angel' form, Misha floated away, tears in her eyes. (And obviously, Kotarou cannot see Misha's angel form, so she, disappeared before him.)

"Huh…? Misha-san? MISHA? WHERE ARE YOU?" Kotarou sighed. "Now I've hurt her too…What's wrong with me?" he thought.

"Oh Kotarou-kuns… What happened to you? You used to be so gentle and sweet…yet still blunt and bold all the timey wime…Did you forget everything that we went through together after I left?" Misha sobbed as she flew down and nested herself beside a group of trees outside of the complex. "Kotarou-kun…" Misha sighed, upset.

"Hi Misha-san." A familiar voice rang through Misha's head.

Misha jerked up. "Shia-san? Is that you?" Misha looked around. "Where are you?"

"Heheheh. You see, I'm still not strong enough to regenerate and come back to Earth yet…but I have enough strength to communicate with you in your head…" Shia's voice echoed throughout Misha's head.

"So you're like my consiencey wheshy?" Misha asked.

"Well, sure. But I promise I'll help you with Kotarou and unlocking-" Shia suddenly stopped.

"Unlocking what, suuu? I don't understand. What's wrong with Kotarou-kun? Everyone keeps telling me thaty whaty…" A slight breeze ruffled Misha's pink hair, and somehow, Misha knew that Shia was 'resting'. "Eh?"

"Kotarou Higuchi, you're very late today. We have a new assignment for you, and from now on, you're going to have a partner." The head CEO of the company spoke with a firm voice. "Takeshi, you may enter."

"Thank you," The voice brought chills to Kotarou's flesh, horribly reminding him of his childhood friend.

Ten-chan entered the room, 10 years older since Kotarou last saw him, dressed smartly in a business suit, his blonde hair neatly trimmed. "Oh. So this is my partner, huh?" He spoke with disgust in his voice.

Kotarou just stared. How and why was Ten-chan here?

AHHHHHH so Ten-chan's here. :O I hope you guys liked it, and thanks for the reviews.

I might introduce some new characters in the upcoming chapters...keep reading+reviewing! Thank you!
