Kagome's pov

I opened my eyes slowly. I don't know where I am. I looked around and realised it was night time. A glow came from the lamp next to the bed where I lay. I noticed a glass of water and reached over. I took the glass and sipped the water.

"Hmmn."

I was startled at the sound and looked around. It was then I saw the person in a chair next to the bed. She appeared to be sleeping. A bag lay next to her. The mocha-skinned girl stirred a bit and I stared into orange eyes. I let out a yelp and fell off the bed. The girl leaped to her feet and helped me up. As soon as I was up, I backed away.

"Wh-who are you?" I stammered, fearing that she was exactly like that man who chased me off that terra.

"Calm down, miss," She raised her hands to show she was unarmed. I glanced at her bag. She must've seen. "Those are only healing crystals. Now, what is your name?"

"Where am I? Who are you? Where are you taking me?" I ignored her question. "Please, just answer me!"

"You're on the Condor. I'm Piper of the Storm Hawks and we're not taking you anywhere. Everyone else is asleep." She said calmly. "Now, What is your name and what are you?"

"I-I'm Kagome and I'm a Tenshi." I said, breathing softly. I let out a scream as a weird fuzzy animal tackled me, hugging me. My wings flapped and the animal let go, seemingly confused at my reaction. I flew to the top of the room, my eyes wide.

"What happened?!" The door slammed open and I let out another scream.

"Up there! She won't come down! Radarr just wanted to hug her and she freaked out!" Piper pointed up at me. The four males looked up at me. A merb, a red head, a blond boy and a wallop.

"I'm not coming down!" I yelled.

"We won't hurt you, I promise! We want to help!" The red head said.

"I don't trust you! Who the hell are you?!"

"Calm down! I'm Aerrow of the Storm Hawks! You need to stay calm! We'll help you!"

"I don't believe you!" I said. "How do I know?"

"Kagome, it's fine! We won't do anything bad to you! We'll prove it to you!"

"How?"

"You're from Terra Tenshi, correct?" Piper spoke up.

"Yes?"

"If we were evil and we touched you're wings, they would turn black in that one spot, right?"

"Uh huh?"

"Come here, we'll show you!"

I couldn't argue with them there. It's true. But my wings would turn back to white unless someone evil doesn't leave a bit of my white feathers alone. I would be what they call a Fallen Angel. Slowly, I floated down to them. Hands brushed the soft texture of my wings. I looked back to see they were still pure white.

"Alright. I believe you." I said. "But I'm keeping an eye on you all."

"That's fine with us. This is the rest of the squadron," Aerrow spoke. "Finn, Junko and Stork. Sorry about Radarr. I guess he likes you." I looked down at the small blue fuzzball called Radarr. I petted his head.

"Hm," I hummed.

"Shall we take you back to Terra Tenshi?" Piper asked. My head shot up so fast I was so surprised that my neck didn't snap.

"No! I'm not going back there!" I crossed my arms over my chest. "You will not take me back!"

"Okay, okay. If you don't mind me asking, but why?" Piper tilted her head.

"I don't have a choice there. I don't get to do what I want, I don't get to walk around as freely as everyone else, I get a limited choice on who I get to be with for the rest of my life!" I said angrily. "I, Kagome Higurashi, will never go back!"

"Higurashi?" Junko questioned. "I think I've heard that name before."

"Of course! Higurashi is the surname of the royal family of Terra Tenshi!" Piper snapped her fingers. "That's why you don't have a lot of choice! You're the princess, aren't you?"

"You aren't going to take me back." I growled.

"We promise we won't." Aerrow held up his hands. I put my hand over his head. I hummed in thought.

"You speak the truth." I removed my hand. "Alright. Just keep me out of that marriage."

"Out of curiosity, how old are you?" Finn asked.

"It's rude to ask a lady her age." I rolled my eyes. "But I'll be 19 in a month. What about you all?"

"We're all 19 except for Stork." Aerrow said. "Going 20 this year." I glanced at my feathers and ran my fingers through them. I looked at them all.

"So, I'm guessing you're the sky knight of this squad? It's not that hard to see. You have that strong, brave and eager yet comforting aura around you. You also have a strong build from what I can see and there's a look in your eyes that I've seen in the sky knights of Terra Tenshi when they visit the castle." I said to Aerrow. He looked surprised before laughing.

"She's good." He said in between laughs.
