Midnight Clashes
Chapter 4
Entering The Truth
We were best friends, Fin and I. There were four of us in total. Two other best friends besides me. Their names were Celcia Form and Toki Haiyar. Only Fin, Celcia and Toki made it to pure angels. I, Access, was stuck as a Kuro-tenshi when the three of them got to go to Earth for three days and nights.
I remember it, right before Fin and the others were leaving I caught up with Fin. I told her that I had something to say to her when she came back. I wanted to say that I was sorry about all the times I teased her, and that I...loved her.
Almost immediately after Fin, Celcia and Toki had arrived on Earth things went wrong, horribly horribly wrong.
They came across a human who could see them. He was a priest at a temple that had holy water. First Fin had really liked the man, but then she had found out something awful. The man, Kukehara Sagami, had murdered his sister and put her in ice to make holy water that he sold to people. Fin knew this, because she was that sister, Natsuki, reborn as an angel.
Sagami had also captured Celcia and Toki to make more holy water and was planning on using Fin for that purpose as well.
An angel's hair color is determined by their level of holding spiritual energy, since they store their energy in their hair. Gold is the color of a fully charged angel whereas white is the highest level of power. When Sagami had seen Fin's green hair he had realized that Fin held even greater potential than a white-haired angel since the color was so rare.
He tried to capture Fin to use her as a source of holy water as well. As he caught Fin, he accidentally cut Fin's hair with the knife that was in his hand. At the moment Fin's hair was cut all of her spiritual energy was released. She was unable to stop a gigantic energy pillar from erupting and killing hundreds of people.
Killing a human is the worst crime an angel can commit. As punishment Fin was sent to the gate of destruction. Before she passed through Maou called to her, telling her that if she came with him she could live. Fin chose to live but became a Da-tenshi in her betrayal.
I never stopped loving her, though.
