Himeka POV

I woke up to see Ryou walking out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. I sat up and rubbed my eyes sleepily.

"Good morning…" I yawned.

"Morning," he replied. "Why do you keep sleeping with me? We didn't get rid of your room or anything."

"Oh, I know." I said walking into the bathroom. "But I'm scared to be alone at night now that I know that someone other than you and Keiichiro knows about me."

"I keep telling you that she only knows your name." Ryou said as I started brushing my teeth. "Trust me, Ichigo is so dense that she couldn't figure it out unless we told her."

I spit into the sink and wiped my mouth with a washcloth. I walked back out to see Ryou only half dressed with just his pants on. I was wearing an almost-see-through nightgown, but it was the only thing I could find last night.

"I hope you're right." I said sitting back down on the bed. Just then, an idea came to mind. "Hey, what if I stared working here again?"

"What do you mean?" Ryou asked.

"Well, there's not much to do around here, so I thought that maybe I could come back to work." I replied.

"Are you nuts?! If you do that, she's sure to find out!"

"If she's as dense as you said she is, then there's nothing to worry about, is there?"

He hesitated. "Alright, fine. But you have to be careful about what you say around Ichigo and the others."

FF

"Girls, I'd like to introduce a new member of the team, Himeka." Keiichiro said as I walked over to them.

I had changed into my old uniform. It was white with lilac accents. I was almost surprised that it still fit, but that was probably because I hadn't worn it in over two months.

"Wow! She's so pretty!" the short blonde girl exclaimed.

"Welcome to the team!" the green haired girl said with a smile.

"Thanks, I'm excited to be here again." I said happily.

"Again? What do you mean, again?" the red-haired girl asked suspiciously.

"Oh, well, I meant that I had been a waitress before and then I had to move here. So, I'm just remembering what it was like at the café I used to work at." I lied.

"Oh, that makes sense." The green-haired girl said. "Oh, my name's Lettuce."

"I'm Pudding!" the blonde girl said.

"This is Ichigo, Mint, and Zakuro." Lettuce said gesturing to the red-haired girl, the navy-blue haired girl, and the purple haired girl.

"Well, it's nice to meet you all. I hope we can be friends." I said smiling.

Kishu POV

"So what's so special about that picture?" Taruto asked as I flew over to where Pai was.

"Don't you remember the old legend?" I asked.

"What legend?"

"Oh, maybe you've never heard of it, but I remember my mother telling me the legend of the Angel of Light all the time." I said. "Hey Pai, do you remember the legend of the Angel of Light?"

"Of course I do." Pai replied, not taking his eyes off of the screen. "But we already know that we've found our savior. That legend means nothing now."

"I'm not so sure about that. Think about it—the legend never mentioned anything about the savior being one of us." I pointed out.

"What are you saying? That Deep Blue's not our true savior?" Pai asked apprehensively.

"Oh no, nothing of the sort! I'm just merely suggesting that we should try to find the Angel of Light while we searching for Mew Aqua."

"How dare you!" Pai yelled turning around and glaring at me. "How can you say that after everything we've done?! Putting your faith in a stupid myth! They only made that story up to keep all of the kids calm!"

"Oh well, so much for my theory. I'll let you get back to work." I said flying back to the island where the ruin was. I stared at the ruin and read the legend I knew all too well…

"Hey Kishu, what's the legend of the Angel of Light?" Taruto asked walking up beside me.

"Born in a world other than her own, sealed within a human body. The Princess who will save the alien race. A child with dominion over light...once awakened, she will spread her wings and brighten the night. Our only savior, the Angel of Light." I replied, reading the legend aloud. "Just like I remember it."

"But what does it mean?" Taruto asked.

"It means that Deep Blue isn't our savior."

Himeka POV

I was sweeping up outside when a guy with black hair and dark brown eyes walked up to me.

"Um, excuse me, but have you seen Ichigo around?" he asked.

"Yeah, she's inside. Who are you?" I asked.

"My name's Masaya Aoyama. Are you new here?"

"You could say that." I replied. "I'm Himeka." I held out my hand.

He shook my hand and something flashed in my mind. He walked into the café and I stood there. I wasn't sure what I saw, but I had a feeling that there was more to Masaya than meets the eyes. I ran into the café and into the back room. Ryou was in there and he jumped when I burst into the room.

"Himeka, what is it?" he asked worried.

"I saw something…" I said.

"What? But I thought that only happened when you're asleep."

"No, it happens if I see something, touch something, or hear something too." I said. "A guy named Masaya came up to me and when I shook his hand…"

"What did you see?" Ryou asked.

"I-I'm not sure. It was only for a second…um, there was something blue… I can't remember."

"It's okay. I'm sure it was just nothing." Ryou said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah… you're probably right."

That's what I said, but I had a feeling that whatever it was that I saw wasn't just nothing. I didn't have these visions for no reason. I put the thought at the back of my mind, but I knew that it would come back when I least expected it.

Ichigo POV

So much for my murderer theory. I thought as I changed out of my uniform. There's something about her that they want to keep secret... wait, if they didn't murder her, what if she is a thief and threatened to kill them if they didn't help her out!

Himeka walked into the room and opened her locker. I pretended to be fixing my hair while she changed out of her uniform. I waited a few minutes after she left before opening her locker. The only things in there was her uniform, a mirror, and an old picture frame.

I picked up the picture frame and saw the same adults from the first picture I found, except the man and the woman were each holding a little baby in their arms. The baby in the woman's arms had light blonde hair and aquamarine blue eyes and was wearing a small white dress. The baby in the man's arms had blonde hair and light blue eyes and was wearing a white shirt and small overalls. It looked like they were fraternal twins. I put the picture frame back in Himeka's locker and closed it.

I walked out of the café feeling a little guilty. Just because I didn't understand something doesn't mean I can just blame people for being murderers or thieves.

Himeka POV

I walked out of the café and over to the trees. I started climbing up a cherry blossom tree and when I reached the top, I was greeted by a gentle breeze. I stood up on one of highest branches and stretched out my arms. I closed my eyes and it felt like I was flying.

"My, my, what do we have here?" came a guy's voice.

I opened my eyes to see a guy with ivy-green hair in two ponytails in front of his long pointed ears and golden cat-like eyes wearing a strange outfit floating in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked nervously. "What do you want?"

"My name's Kishu… and I want your soul."
