Kyoko:

I was worried sick. Mimori was acting rather strange past few days, she was often sneaking out of the house and every time I saw her she was paler and paler. I wanted to talk to her, but she never listened to me, just gave me a nasty glare and walked away. I was thinking about all that the way to the town, where angels smiled at me, waved my way once in a while stopped by for a few words. I tried to stop that worried look on my face, because angels knew about my ability and I didn't want to cause any panic. But I guess I wasn't doing such a good job at it after all.

"You look worried," the girly voice behind me startled me making me jump from surprise as I turned around and saw the lovely face of Maria.

"Do you need any help?" she asked innocently, her blonde hair in little curls jumping as she swayed on her feet looking up at me.

In my mind I automatically remembered my vision or Maria stuck on a tree with the branch about to break and the panic in Ren's face, when I came to tell him about it. Ren, her older brother, helped her out of the tree just in the nick of time and to stay safe we got some angels to get rid of the branch. I smiled at Maria, her face pure bliss as I stroked her hair softly.

"Is your brother home?"

I could almost see how hard she thought about her brothers' schedule.

"I think he should be home by now. But if the meeting took longer…"

I petted her head again.

"I understand. I'll go take a look. Thank you," I smiled her way and she gave me the same sweet smile I adored on her face. Then she ran after her friends waving my way and I did the same to her till I lost sight of her. After that I sighed heavily and went on my way to Ren's house. Ren is one of the archangels, one of four to be exact, the right hands of God. But he's also one of my childhood friends. And he's the only one I could come and talk to about anything that bothered me. My mind kept swirling around Mimori. Could something happen that day? Something I failed to notice? What if that demon hurt her in some way? I shouldn't have let her get so close, I should have protected her better. Before I knew it I found myself knocking on Ren's door. The thought of Mimori being in danged made me knock again, this time more urgently.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. What? Is there a fire somewhere?" his tired voice came from behind the door and he finally opened the door. He was really tall and handsome, his brown hair wet from a shower I thought as he came open the door with just pants on and a towel in his hand. I would have blushed seeing him if I wasn't worried sick. His handsome face went pale as he was me in the door.

"Did something happen to Maria?"

"No," I said and pushed myself by him inviting myself in.

"So will something happen to her?" his voice a bit panicky.

I rolled my eyes at him. "It's not about Maria. I'm here because of Mimori."

"Will something happen to her?" he sounded a bit confused by now as he closed the door. I wasn't sure, I wasn't brave enough to look at his half naked figure. When did he grow up to be like that? I shook my head both at his question as well as trying to get the thoughts out of my head. I sat down on the couch in his living room and he came to sit beside me as I sighed again.

"I'm not sure anymore." I finally said after a while.

"Not sure? You didn't see something happening to her?" he asked and I felt him raising his eyebrow at him as he always used to when I was being silly.

"No, I didn't see it," I answered honestly.

That's when Ren laughed and leaned on the couch sighing in relief.

"You scared me there for a second," he said, relief in his voice.

I pouted looking directly at him.

"So you're not taking me seriously?"

"Kyoko," he said in a soft voice putting his hand on mine and I blushed softly, "if Mimori was in danger, you'd see it in your vision."

Well…..he was right about that. I'd see it. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Was I just too panicky? I smiled a bit at him.

"You're right."

"Of course I am," he smirked at me and I blushed again making myself look to the ground. Ren one of the few angels I could talk like this. Without the whole prophet thing. We were always the best of friends, till our abilities didn't kick in. he grew an extra pair of wings and became an archangel and I became a prophet. Because he was so busy we rarely saw each other anymore, but for some reason I never thought we grew apart. Sitting here in his room, even after so long, I still felt at home. He always heard me out no matter what nonsense I came up with. And the best thing about him? He never treated me as a prophet. I always stayed the best friend I always was to him. And I liked that. Being able to be me, not just a prophet.

"Was that all you came here for?"

His words brought me back from my thoughts and my mind went back to being cautious. I bit my lower lip.

"No. Mimori is acting weird. Sometimes she doesn't even talk to me."

"That's pretty normal," Ren said as he smiled at my confused expression.

"It's normal?"

"Even Maria gets like that sometimes. It's not easy being a sister of an archangel. And I bet being a sister of a prophet isn't much easier," he winked my way. "Don't worry. They will get over it when their own abilities kick in."

I looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"You think?"

"They will be busy with their own problems, no time for problems like his. It's just too much free time on their hands," he let his hand caress my cheek and I felt myself relax. There was just one more problem I had.

"I was thinking about demons," I said and I saw I startled him. "I was just thinking, what would happen if someone else than a soldier got too close to one."

Ren blinked at me.

"What?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I was just wondering."

"You're sure thinking about a lot of weird things lately. First Mimori and now this..." he scratched the back of his head.

"So what would happen?" I insisted.

Ren thought about it for a while and smiled a bit.

"I don't think anything would happen. Unless they would grow closer…"

"Grow closer?" I tilted my head demanding an explanation.

"For someone, who doesn't have their abilities evolved, it's very easy to fall under a demons spell. They get them on their side and use them for their benefit. Well, the same thing can happen to an adult as well, but they're more likely to see through the magic. If you know about it, it can't affect you. Problem is, demons are very persuasive. They can suggest a lot of things into your mind you don't have to know about."

I stopped him right there. "Can you explain the way I'd understand?"

He chuckled at me and nodded.

"To put it simply, demons are able to corrupt angels. Especially the young ones. If an angel gets corrupted, their power weakens and they slowly die."

My face was pure shock. They die. Mimori will die. The pale face on my sister came into my mind and I was suddenly pulled in. I was suddenly at the same flower clearing we went to together a few days ago, the one we met the demon at. I saw Mimori stand by the rock blushing. And I saw that demon stand close to her, too close. He was leaning in kissing her. Kissing my sister! The vision subdued and I was back in Ren's living room. I was terrified. That was a vision. Vision of my sister kissing a demon!

"Kyoko? Can you hear me?" I heard Ren's voice as he tried to call to me. He sounded worried, but so was I. Mimori was seeing that demon. They're close. She's gonna die.

"Don't worry. Mimori will be safe. We keep our young ones far away from demons," Ren tried to make me feel better, but it wasn't working. I stood up and without a word went for the door. Mimori will die. I have to do something to stop it. Anything!

I couldn't tell Ren. What would they do to Mimori if they found out she was meeting up with a demon? I won't let anything happen to her. That's why I had to take care of it on my own. Without any second thought I went straight for the clearing. I knew they'd be there, I saw it. I saw Mimori standing there, while Sho was kissing a strand of her hair.

"Hey!" I yelled, keeping my distance from him, but catching his attention. I saw Sho look my way and I shuddered from the feeling of pure thrill I saw there. What was he so happy about? His cat eyes glued to me as I kept my ground.

"Mimori, were going home!"

She pouted my way grabbing onto Sho's hand.

"No!"

I was afraid. Was she already under his spell so deeply? Maybe I should have told Ren about this. He'd know what to do, he always does. Besides, he wouldn't hurt Mimori, right? Even if he is an archangel, he wouldn't hurt her. Right? I was in doubt. The catlike eyes roamed around my body giving me goosebumps. I felt like a horse he was about to buy. Such a disgusting feeling.

"Mimori! Come here this instant!" I wanted her out of his reach. I needed it.

"NO!" her voice was loud and clear, her resolve unshakable. I had to get her out of there.

"Mimori, I had a vision. He'll hurt you," I tried to explain, but she didn't listen.

"I'm in love with Sho! I love him more than my life! Nothing else matters as long as I'm with him!" I saw tears for in her eyes and my heart clenched.

"But….Mimori…"

"I hate you…" at first I wasn't sure if I heard right. I didn't know the voice she used on me, she even made Sho's dirty eyes come off me and he looked at her with surprise.

"I hate you Kyoko," she repeated. "You hear me? I hate you!" the rage in her voice made my knees give up and I fell to the ground looking at her with tears in my eyes.

"I hate you're always the perfect one, that you make a saint of yourself, even the thing you're trying to take away the only good thing that ever happened to me. Don't you see? Meeting Sho is my blessing. It's time you let me walk my own path, not the one in your shadow!" tears were streaming down her face as she yelled at me. What was I supposed to do in a situation like this? I saw Sho devilishly smiling as I kept staring at Mimori with so much shock I couldn't move. Mimori was all out. She was done saying what she wanted and turned her back on me slowly walking away from me.

"We'll see each other soon Kyoko," Sho said my way as he winked me and my stomach turned. What will I do?

…..

The sun was setting by the time my tears stopped coming out of my eyes. I was both physically and emotionally tired from what occurred here a few hours ago. How could all this go so wrong? Mimori sided with a demon. How can I ask for Ren's help now? He'd be forced to hurt Mimori. He is an archangel after all. How can I ask him to endanger all angels for sake of my sister? But can I let him hurt her? No. and the way Sho looked at me made me sick. I shivered every time I just thought about it. I looked up to the sky, to God. I had no idea what I was supposed to go. But I knew one thing. I can't let it stay like this. I have to do something about it. And fast.
