*Three weeks ago*
"Mum! Can we run about?" Rin asked her mum hopefully.
Her mum rolled her eyes, "Okay, but be careful. Daiki, you're in charge."
"Yes mum." Said the eight-year-old boy.
They ran off.
Rin trailed along behind her adored older brother.
They were in the cemetery.
"Rin, come over here!" Daiki said, taking her hand and leading her over to a huge memorial with an angel on it.
They both stood in front of it.
"... Dai, I wanna go back..."
"Hang on."
A strange slightly transparent thing arose from the memorial. It looked like an angel.
\._./
"Mum! Daiki's gone!" Rin came full-out running back to her mother and father.
"What?" Her mum stood up, "Where did he go?"
"He got taken by the angel to heaven."
"What? Daiki! DAIKI!"
\._./
*The present, Kaoru POV*
I hopped down the stairs of school. Haruhi caught up to me, "Kaoru. Where do we meet you?"
"What? You've lost me." I said.
"Amaya, remember? You said you'd take her out for the day."
"Or rather, your dad dumped you with her."
Haruhi frowned, "Hey!"
"I can't, sorry."
She got in front of me, "Do I have to tell you that you're letting down a child? I am shocked, Kaoru. Shocked and saddened."
I just looked at her, "Really?"
She pouted, "Pleeease?"
"Fine. Bring her over to my house."
"What about your XBox?"
"What? No! She'll wreck it!" I walked around Haruhi, "Just... Don't expect me to be there. I have stuff to do."
"Yeah, of course you do."
\._./
"So apparently her brother got taken to heaven." Kyoya said, guiding Tamaki.
I walked in front of them. We were in the cemetery, "Really?"
"Mm-hm." Tamaki said.
We reached a huge memorial with an angel on it.
Tamaki knelt down in front of it and put his hands to the ground.
He gasped.
"Are you seeing something?"
*Tamaki POV*
I touched the ground.
Pale people in old clothes everywhere, staring.
A man in a top-hat.
I shook my head, "Only the dead."
*Kaoru POV*
I watched as Tamaki got to his feet.
"If someone or something took Daiki, they left without a trace."
Kyoya sighed.
"Now what?" I asked.
"I think you and me should go and have a talk with the mother." Kyoya said.
I looked at him, "What, you think he's still alive?"
"If he was dead, I would've been able to tell." Tamaki said. He paused, "Wherever he went, he went willingly."
\._./
Rin swung on the swing in her backyard, humming and looking at the sky. The chains squeaked.
Shizuka, the mother, peered out, checking on her child, then went back inside.
Rin got off the swing and skipped over to her sandpit and turned over a bucket.
The chains squeaked more.
"Huh?" She turned around. Daiki sat there on the swing.
"Dai?" Rin got up and walked over to him, "You came back. Were you in heaven?"
Daiki swung some more, looking at her, then stopped, "I was with the lovely angel. He's called Gilgamel."
"Gil-?"
"Gilgamel. But you must never say his name."
Rin shuffled her feet, "Can I see him?"
Daiki stood up off the swing, smelled the air close to her, then shook his head, "No. He wouldn't want you. You don't smell right." He brushed his dark brown hair out of his icy blue eyes.
Shizuka looked back outside.
She could see her daughter talking, but to no-one, and the swing moving.
She strode out, "Rin!"
Rin turned around.
"Who were you talking to?!"
No answer.
"
Who were you talking to?!"
"Daiki!"
Shizuka looked over at the swing. It continued to rock.
\._./
*Kaoru POV*
I sat with Kyoya in the car.
"What number?"
"We'll drive around the block first." He said, turning the corner.
A woman and a little girl stood at one side.
"Whats going on there?" I asked.
Kyoya wound down his window, "Excuse me." He said as a small mob of people charged down the street with cameras and microphones, "You look like you need a bit of help." He opened the door, letting the two in the car.
I tugged the door shut just before we pulled away from the footpath.
The woman and her daughter sat across from us. She looked at us, "Oh crap. I've been tricked haven't I? You're reporters!"
"No ma'am." Kyoya shook his head, "We are interested in the case, but we are not reporters."
\._./
Rin sat on her own on a nearby bench.
Kyoya, Shizuka and I sat together on one.
"People think we did something to Daiki." Shizuka said, "They think I'm just getting Rin to repeat a story about an angel."
"Do you think she made it up?" Kyoya asked.
Shizuka shrugged, "I don't know. But Daiki wouldn't just run off with anyone."
There was a pause, "I found Rin talking to Daiki earlier at home. Of course he wasn't there. No-one was there."
I thought for a second, "Can I talk to her?"
Shizuka shrugged, "You can try. She won't say anything, though."
I got up, "Hey Rin." I said, walking over. I sat down next to her, "Your mum said we could have a talk. Is that okay?"
Rin shrugged.
"I'm Kaoru." I said.
She just continued to look at the ground, drawing something in the mud with a stick.
I adjusted myself, "I know what it's like. You know something, and you can tell anyone because they won't believe you."
Rin looked up at me, "What did you see?"
"Well... I saw this... Monkey-thing, once."
"A monkey?" Rin looked at me a bit funny.
"Anyway, it was scary. I bet what you saw was scarier. D'you wanna tell me what it was?" I asked.
Rin shook her head, "Mm-mm."
I sighed, "Okay."
I looked down at the picture she was drawing. It was of a boy.
"What about Daiki?"
Rin gave me a look and ran off to her mum.
I clenched my teeth.
Shit.
\._./
Tamaki, Kyoya and I sat in the base.
(That underground cobble-build place in the last chapter).
We were researching.
"The most famous example is the Angel of Mons. Seen by hundreds of troops on the Western Front in World War One." I said, holding an old newspaper.
"Okay. There have beens sightings of one thing. But we checked all the records and there aren't any of angel abductions." Kyoya said.
"The little girl didn't say anything?" Tamaki asked.
I sighed, "She might've. That was my fault. I didn't handle it right."
Kyoya leaned on the table, "Well, there weren't any signs of half life at the cemetery."
Tamaki shook his head.
"So what now? Do we just let it go?" I asked.
Kyoya shrugged, "It happens."
I got up, "What? We're not sure Rin didn't have something to say. She was just scared. It's not her fault I messed it up."
Kyoya shook his head, "Judgment call, Kaoru."
\._./
I walked down the street, Haruhi next to me.
"Do I have to do this?" She asked.
"Shush. You're good with kids, you know you are."
"But I don't even know this 'Ren'."
I rolled my eyes, "It's Rin."
"But what am I suppose to say to her?"
"Come on Haruhi. You can do it." I said as we walked in front of the house. Cameras flashed and people were talking at once.
I ushered her through and into the house.
\._./
Haruhi sat on the swing, Rin next to her.
"She's not going to get anywhere. Rin can be really stubborn." Shizuka said to me.
"Yeah well," I shrugged, "So can Haruhi."
*Haruhi and Rin*
Haruhi looked at the little girl curiously.
Rin fiddled with the metal frame of the swing.
The older girl sighed, "Look Rin. I'm not going to insult you by saying I'm your friend. You seem very nice and everything, but I don't know you, and you don't know me... I just need to know who's got your brother."
Rin looked down.
"And... You can't tell me?" Haruhi asked.
Rin shook her head.
"Okay, cool. You've got your reasons."
The little girl snuggled deeper into her coat.
"But... I really need to know who's got Daiki."
There was a pause of Haruhi thinking.
She got an idea, "So, what if you wrote it down, and I just happen to look at it?"
Rin pursed her lips, then shook her head.
Haruhi sighed, then rummaged through her bag, "Well, I have... One hundred and ninety two yen
(around two Australian dollars), a sparkley hair slide and some black nail polish?" She held them out, "Do we have a deal?"
Rin thought for a few seconds, then took them out of her hands, smiling.
Haruhi smiled.
\._./
"Gilgamel?" I asked, walking down the street with Haruhi, "Are you sure? It sounds weird."
Haruhi nodded, "Gilgamel. Trust me."
"Good job. How did you do it?"
"Bribery."
"Pfft, really?"
"Yup." She paused, "Now you can start thinking about how to repay me."
I frowned.
"Well, me and Amaya have some transport issues tomorrow. To your place. You can sort that, right?"
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"I don't have any transport, Haru."
Haruhi grinned, "Come on Kaoru, you can do it." Before walking away.
I poked my tongue out after her.
\._./
Kyoya, Tamaki and I were back downstairs, researching yet again.
Kyoya dumped a big black box on the table.
"Documents from Raku Hitachiin."
"My great-grandfather?" I asked.
"Mm-hm. Somewhere in here, I've seen the name Gilgamel." Kyoya said.
I blinked, "In here?" The box was at least the size of a small coffee table.
"What do you care. It's all in Dutch anyway."
He shoved a bunch of papers into my arms.
\._./
Tamaki leaned against the table, "Suppose Rin got it wrong... She's six years old."
"Keep looking." Kyoya said to me.
I sighed and scanned over more paper.
A faint pattern was on a piece I was holding.
I picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it.
Gilgamel Feugate Traveste
(a/n That's what it said in the show... I'm pretty sure I didn't spell it right.)
It said in a graceful, flowing script.
"Look at this." I got up and walked over to Kyoya, then leaned down and showed it to him.
"What does it say?" Kyoya asked.
"Gilgamel Feugate Traveste." I read out loud, "Yeah, it's Dutch."
"Latin." Tamaki said. I turned to him. He stared at the ceiling, "Not Dutch, Latin. Gilgamel Flee the Travesty."
"Fantastic!" I exclaimed, then stopped, "What does that mean?"
"I have no idea. You asked what it says, not what it means."
I smirked, then turned back to Kyoya.
\._./
*At a playground, somewhere close to the cemertery*
Little Sakura sat by herself on the swings.
"Mum!" She called.
Her mother was on the phone and payed no attention.
"Do you want a push?" A voice said from behind her.
She turned to see a pale boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"Yep." Sakura said.
The boy started pushing her. He looked over to the girl's mother, "Is that your mum?"
"Yeah. She's always talking."
The boy thought for a second, "You smell nice."
"Don't stop! Keep pushing!" Sakura said.
"Have you ever seen an angel?"
"No."
"Do you want to?"
