The small light is so far I can't see it,

if I wish enough in order to see it…I'll lose something.

But a heart that shatters the deepest darkness

lies right here.

(Noria – Hitomi no Kotae, 07-Ghost)

It's the exam day. The exam will be held in three parts, the first part was the easy one, and that was, somewhat, like writing examination. Whit a little bit of twist of course. Like answering all questions while defeating Kors, the usual.

They have to work in pair, and Teito stuck with his room mate, yes, Hakuren Oak. And both of them seem like enjoying too, much to Frau Displeasure, of course! But since they became buddy-buddy since their conversation several days ago, they became so close. Somehow this made certain someone almost set the long-haired blonde in fire, thanks to his…er, 'childhood friend', he didn't do it. Either else, the said Teito going to torture him. And the said 'friend' didn't want to be the one who received his wrath afterwards.

Anyway, back to our two…main characters for this chapter. Teito and Hakuren easily answered the question. They passed the test with flying colors, thanks to Teito's photographic memories and Hakuren's world-wide knowledge (not as if Teito didn't have one, he just too lazy to answer them). This somewhat made the examiners smirked.

In a room where the examiners watched them, Lance tch-ed. "Those gaki are really good."

"Of course, Lance," answered Castor behind him.

Lance turned his head to see Castor smiled at him, a greeting between them. "Castor, Lab, Frau."

The three Bishops nodded in acknowledgement. "So, how's the Gakis?" asked Frau.

Lance grinned a little, "Which one?"

"Tch, you know which one, don't tease me, Lance."

"Of course~!" Lance grinned again, "They're doing great, now they go to their second part of the first exam. It's getting fun, y'know?"

Lab nodded, "Yeah, but…was that a kor behind Teito?"

Frau tch-ed, "Must be that bastard."

Castor chuckled, "Aw, Frau, are you still mad at him? come on, he just wanted to make sure that his little Queen doing alright."

"That's called cheating, y'know," Frau scowled.

"As long as he don't engage with his tests, then it's not cheating, Frau." Lab chuckled when he saw Frau scowled even more, it was cute alright. "And stop pouting, it doesn't suit you, you know?"

"I'm not pouting!"

"You know what, Frau? You did pouting," said Lance, grinned at him.

Frau growled, "Shut up, you fag!"

Lance raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Last time I checked, you're one too, certain blonde boy who came here yesterday rings the bell?"

Frau blushed madly. "Y-Wha-How-GAH! I'm out of here!"

This made them laughed. Hard.

Meanwhile, after some bickering from both teenagers and decided that no one of them became the loser, and go to the next part and passed it, now is for the second trial. The Interview-with twist-exam.

The young pair walked on their chosen path by the examiner, Lance, in their case. (AN: Hakuren's will be like the anime one) Teito walked slowly, then he opened the door, once the door closed, and he was in the middle of the room, his eyes widened, as well as they who saw it from the Examiners' room (this mean, the Ghosts, Bastian, Jio, Mikage, and the other 'guests', Frau was dragged by Bastian by the way).

"Teito Klein," said the figure in front of him, even thou it's just a bright light in everybody else eyes except those who have the power of Shinigami or the Ghosts.

Teito took a deep breath before answered him, "Kami-sama…"

Everybody gasped at the scene which was unfolding before their very eyes. Teito's hatred, pain, despair, was toward the God Himself…

When he met the illusion to finish his third trial…

Truth behind the past will be revealed to the other one….

But the question is…is this really an illusion?

Kami, as Teito has said, smirked at him. "Since when, you respect me that way, Teito Klein? Ah…iie, I mean, Tiashe Prince of Raggs Kingdom? Or better yet, my dearest Eve?"

Teito sighed. Oh he knew that this question very well. Every time he prayed, He always said the same damn thing. "Whatever you say."

The God in front of him chuckled again. "Oh my, okay then, dearest Eve, I'll call you Teito then." He walked closer to him, "I just have one question for you though."

"And?"

"I never knew that you have…strong dislike feeling towards me."

"…I told you over and over, I hate you, and you know that?"

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too, dear daughter."

"I'm a male, fucking boy."

"Tut, tut! Language, boy! Anyway, you're still my daughter in my eyes," Kami smiled at him warmly, "Now, shall we begin the test?"

Teito snorted. "Yeah, whatever."

The God smirked at him, "Tell me, Teito Klein, why did you let him killed you that day?" His voice was loud and clear, the other guys who watched the test could hear them.

"…Are we going to go over this again?" Teito raised his eyebrows.

The God in front of him smirked at him, "I have to, I love to make that man shake in fear and guilt."

"You're crazy, sadistic, and unstable."

"Ouch, you wound my heart, my lovely daughter."

"…you don't have heart, Kami-otousama," Teito scowled, "On a second thought? You do have, but you rarely use it in this case, you have too much fun in torturing me and him."

"I'm a God, what d'you expect?" He snorted at him, "My jobs are suck, I need my amusement. Apparently, you're one of those few. Be proud, count your self lucky."

"Yeah right."

"Just answer the damn question, Son. I have limited time to spend here."

Teito rolled his eyes, "Because it's either killed by the man that I love or see him and my most cherished home destroyed. You know well how powerful that bastard you called 'son' that time."

"And you choose the first one."

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because…at least I could die in peace."

This earned tears from certain person.

"And no, I wasn't thinking that you'll sealed him up, since you're a GOD, I thought you'll understand why I did it. But no! You fucking sealed him up! He was possessed, okay?!" now Teito roared.

The God smirked, "Yes, I know. I told you, I'm a GOD."

"A SADISTIC ONE!"

"Yeah, anyway, was that why you loathed me so much?"

"…Half of it."

Kami shrugged, "The other?"

"Beside you give me a fucked up fate and destiny to play while they're still your bitch? You sealed my damn Bascule and you let that damned Lucifer on the loose."

Kami snorted at that.

"What? I'm being truthful here!" Teito snarled at him, 'Damn him, he always acts like this when I have this conversation with him! Why can't he become normal like he usually does to his other LAMBS?!'I

"That because of…it's fun to tease you, son."

Teito rolled his eyes, arguing with all-knowing and mind-reading God was never been fun. Not at all. "Okay, back to main topic at hand. This one supposed to be MY exam, why, in Mother Goddess name You're doing here? Mother Goddess won't be happy you know?"

Kami-sama smirked at him, "So you know."

"After sometime, yeah, your bright light hurt my eyes somehow, I'm a human now, I can't stand that much of light."

The God grinned at him, "But you can provide more than my light, you're truly our Daugh-er, Son, I mean."

"…"

The God chuckled again, "The third trial of yours finished, you shall have your Bascule, Teito Klein…Tiashe, the heir of Raggs Kingdom. Prince of Raggs, you shall moving forwards and aim for the bright future. I give you my blessing as your God and your Father to marry your long-life love."

Teito nodded.

Then, in one swift motion, a bright light covered the other's view, when its died down, they could see a white, artistic Bascule of Eve. Teito's original Bascule, was shining brightly. They saw him took it then walked to the door, right before their eyes, the supposed to be illusion disappeared, only left single white wing on the floor and one bright light.

"Teito Klein, remember it, tragedies will come to you. But you shall be strong and face it with ease, kind, and your light. Let your power guide you. Choose your own path, crave your own destiny, and make fate bow to you. Teito Klein, former Chief of all Angels and Arch-Angels, my Daughter and Son, current Heir of Raggs Kingdom, you shall awaken your power and guide those who loyal to you to the victory. And Seal the darkness to thee deepest of Hell." That was the last messages that he, they, heard from Him.

Teito nodded with all of his confidence. The second part of the exam had been finished with flying colors. Now to the last part of the exam….

Once Teito got out from the trial room, someone jumped on him and gave him a bone-crushing hug.

"TEITO!!!" said the person who hugged him.

"M-Mikage-can't breath-"

"Oh, whoopsie?" Mikage let him go, grinned sheepishly at him. "Welcome back, and congratulation, you passed your second exam!"

Teito nodded, smiled slightly at him, "Yes, thank you, Mikage." His eyes turned to the people behind him, "And what are you, people doing here?"

Frau smirked at him. "It's time for your third part of the exam, kuso-gaki-"

ZRAT!

Frau's robe was scattered.

All of them stared at the one who destroyed his clothes in fear. "Don't you dare call our 'ouhime-sama' kuso-gaki again, Bishop Frau," he smiled.

"Hyuuga-san, how many times I told you not to call me with that name?" asked Teito.

"Too many times, Ouhime-sama, way too many times."

The green eyed boy sighed at him. "Anyway, why are you here?"

Hyuuga grinned, "To take you to your third exam, of course!"

Teito could smell Armageddon from here. He gulped hard. Oh how he hated the feeling, so much.

The third exam was a join-exam with the Black Hawks. The Arch Bishop Jio and Headmaster Miroku were the one who brew the exam. And they were sure that this one will be a bitch. Anyway, the mission was to go to explore certain place and then purify or terminated or erase, you name it, the targets that already placed there. And the place was? Ex-Capital Palace of Raggs Kingdom. Sweet wasn't it?

Back again, they won't work in pair or in group, but they could make one if they want to. So yes, after some conversation in their lunch, Teito and Hakuren decided to help each other. Much to certain someone displeasure. Mikage was growling at Hakuren dangerously, by the way. Hakuren just smiled slightly at him just to tease his twin-big brother. And that pissed the teen, Mikage decided to punch his twin in the face when Hakuren whispered something at him. Whatever it was, it made our innocent blonde blushed furiously. And the new thing was…it wasn't about Teito, at all.

The departure will be at 1800, and they'll be arrived at 0700 in the next morning. So they have five hours to kill.

Hakuren was wandering around with Castor, asked something about random things from the Bible, Labrador was having his afternoon tea with Lance, who was asking about Teito, and Katsuragi, who stared at him with that…weird glint (Lab thought that it's just him, oh how wrong he was). Frau was dragging Mikage away from the other to…have 'serious' conversation with him about 'something'. Kuroyuri and Haruse were taking their nap in the garden, just like the usual. Hyuuga was molesting certain blonde haired Begleiter of his in…unused Trial-room. Jio was talking with Bastian about the third exam.

This leaves Ayanami and Teito. Where were they?

Ayanami was sitting in his bed, beside him, Teito was laying with his head on Ayanami's lap. The older man was playing with the younger one hair. He opened his mouth, but closed it again. He done that several time before Teito snapped at him.

"Just spill it, Ayanami...."

Ayanami closed his eyes, and then opened it. He stared at Teito's green eyes. Ayanami placed a chaste kiss on his forehead. "I will not revive my power or my body back, saiai," he placed his finger on Teito's lips, "I know you expected it. Anyway, I will not try to find another way to revive them. Your life is more important."

Teito nodded softly, and then he smiled. "Well then, now I know that I have to give yes as an answer to His second mission then."

Ayanami raised his eyebrows, "What mission?"

"A mission," he sat back, his eyes stared at the other man's eyes back, "To revive your power back."

When the mission started, the tragedy shall begin…

Hohburg Fort, 1900, The infamous Kitchen…(you know where)

Mikage ate his BBQ meat happily while Hakuren chewed his much healthy food called Green Salad right on his left. On Mikage's right, Frau shoved another 'self-proclaimed' healthy food named deep-fried tempura with extra mayonnaise on it. Castor sat beside Frau, smiling all the way but the others could see his twitching eyebrows and dark aura behind him. Castor was easting a delicious flower-sweets with chamomile tea. In front of Castor, Kuroyuri was shoving another plate of spaghetti with meat-mushroom-sauce into his mouth, Haruse just smiling behind his coffee mug and a piece of garlic bread while watching his beloved Kuroyuri ate. Everyone had no idea how could he do not throw up after seeing how Kuroyuri was eating, basically, Kuroyuri shoved everything into his mouth into bottomless stomach of his without chewing it. And Kuroyuri was a messy eater, really messy eater.

Beside Haruse, Hyuuga was trying to tease Konatsu by helping the poor man to eat and sometimes, Hyuuga licked his cheek or chin just to tease him up while saying 'you're way more delicious than this' all the way. This earned a glare from the chef, a bleeding head because of the said chef's lover threw a knife to his head, a lump on his head because of the chef-assistant whacked him with rolling-pin, a hurting shoulder because of the chef-assistant's crush gripped his shoulder way too hard, and a red cheek because of Konatsu slapped him hard.

Lance was sitting between Konatsu and Hakuren, enjoying the sight while drinking his hot cocoa, in front of him a blue-berry cream-cake reside beautifully alongside with ten delicious chocolate cookies (AN: I don't know if they can eat cakes or not…I made into 'ok', so…please bear with it).

Teito gave a finishing-touch to his strawberry-chocolate cake, behind him, Ayanami hugged him while kissing his head lovingly. Beside him, Labrador was preparing another chamomile and Himawari tea, beside him, Katsuragi was helping him with smiles on his face. If you look at his face with full concentration, you could see a tint of red blush on his cheek every time Lab talked with him, even thou he could feel someone gave him a piercing heated-glare behind his back.

Even thou they sat together in one place like this, no one from both Empire-soldiers and Church suspicious at them. This place was well hidden from everyone, and the Bishops and Teito-Hakuren's rooms were away from the others.

Teito was smiling when he heard Ayanami hummed a song that he used to sing back there, his smile turned into a warm chuckle. Ayanami stopped his humming and kissing, he raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Nothing, it's just…I forgot how I love your lullaby," said Teito without turned his attention from his cake, "And hearing you sing it-"

"Hummed it."

Teito rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, Humming it, make me remembering 'that' event."

"…," Ayanami titled his head a little, then his eyes widened slightly, "Oh…that one."

"Yes, that one."

"…Can you forget it?"

"Nope."

"Even if I beg of you?"

"I'm not listening."

"Even if I give you a…," he said before whispering at Teito's ear seductively so no one heard them, "Mind blowing present?"

Teito blushed, this made him ruined the frosting. "W-wha?! Ayanami! Look! You make me ruining MY precious strawberry chocolate cake!" he screamed at him.

Ayanami backed off a little. Every eyes in the room eyed both of them, curious about what happened. Ayanami bit his tongue; he mustn't talk back at him in this state. Teito, Eve, always had the worst fit if someone made him ruined his cake. Not even the Kami Himself could calm him down. No one, not even him, his own Husband. But nobody knew about it except him.

Hyuuga raised his eyebrows when he saw Ayanami shivered a little. "Aya-tan? Something's wrong?"

Ayanami glared at the man for asking the obvious., then his eyes turned into Teito again. "…Saiai-"

"DON'T saiai me, you good for nothing husband of mine…," growled Teito dangerously, "You'll pay for this, you'll sleep on the couch for –beep- good damn weeks! And no more strawberry cakes for you! You wanna eat?! Made it your damn self!" Teito called his Bascule, "You have ten seconds to run…A-na-ta~" then Teito smiled warmly at him.

Ayanami gulped. Then he ran as fast as he could with Teito hot on his trail, leaving the others blinked dumbly at their ex-spots.

"Well, that was…" said Lab.

"Unusual…" then Katsuragi added a penny.

"And plain scary," said Hyuuga.

Konatsu nodded in agreement. "Agreed, this is the first time I see Ayanami-sama so…"

"Scared," Haruse deadpanned.

"Nervous," added Castor.

"And totally pussy-whipped by Teito like that," finished Frau.

Mikage and Kuroyuri chuckled together. Their eyes landed on them. Mikage grinned at Kuroyuri. "That was fun, ne Kuroyuri-sama?"

"Un! Just like what you said, Mikage-kun!" Kuroyuri jumped upside down. "Aya-tousama got pussy-whipped by Tei-kaasama!"

"For good," added Mikage.

"Yes! For good!" Kuroyuri grinned with Mikage then cackled evilly together.

Both of them knew that Teito would turned into the Devil himself if someone ruined his masterpiece. How did both of them know about this without Ayanami's, or the others, knowing? Easy, Mikage learn it in hard way (he still got the burn-mark from Teito punishment by the way), while Kuroyuri saw him tortured a random guy who were hitting on him while Teito tried to made a perfect score in the shooting practice in a week after Teito came in their (dull) life.

"Ookay…I don't want to know," said Lance instantly. The others nodded in agreement after they saw the evil glint and dark glee came from the two 'uke'. Except Lab, of course. He was sweat dropping all the way. Lance also sweat dropped, "I think…I'll finish my dinner in my room, g'night!" Lance ran away from the room with Frau and Castor along with the other Black Hawks on their tail.

"Meh, they're gone now, what should we do, Kuroyuri-sama?" asked Mikage.

Kuroyuri smiled at him, "Help okaasama to re-make the cake, of course!"

This made Mikage's eyes glinted happily. "Okay!"

Labrador and Hakuren just sat there while supervise the two 'children' from doing another mess.

Ayanami closed his bedroom door and then locked it. He was breathing hard. Teito was scary like that till it's not even funny. Unknown to him, someone was already in his room. Ayanami realized it too late. He was cornered by that person. This person pulled his head down. Ayanami could feel warm lips on his own. "Whuh-?" before he could speak, the person who kissed him pulled him again and gave Ayanami a French-kiss. If the light turned on, you'll see him blushed madly. Ayanami could feel that the other person smirked between their kisses. After this mysterious person finished kissing him, he licked his ears then whispered something at him, "Now…it's time for your punishment."

Once he heard the person's voice, Ayanami smirked and his eyes glinted with pervert ness. He, surely, would enjoy this kind of punishment, indeed. "Of course…Teito-kun…" answered Ayanami huskily, teasing the shorter one.

Teito licked Ayanami's neck before gave the man a hickey. "Love me?"

Ayanami's smirked grew bigger. "As you wish, my…Lady."

(AN: so sorry, I couldn't write more than kiss for a while…err, I always blushing madly while laughing my ass off when I write M-rated scenes…beside…this one is too…OOC for both of, so I cut the scenes. So sorry.)

0500, next dusk, Hohburg Fort, Assembly Hall…

Jio and Bastian were standing next to Miroku and Ayanami. They were ready to start the last exam in two hours, now was time for their briefing.

"Listen, Congratulation to those who managed to pass the first and second exam! Now all of you'll face the last exam. This exam is a special one, today, the Barsburg Empire agreed to help us held the exam! The Barsburg Empire Soldiers under Chief of Staff General Ayanami will be your support teams, they will not help you to terminate your target, but they'll take you out from the 'war-zone' if everything getting out of hand for you to handle. A team will get six soldiers for support, why? Because their zhyphon are MOSTLY dark-based one, or different from all of us, Bishops and Priests/Priestess, they'll need more power to terminate the target to help you get out from there if your exam turned bad. A team consist of two up to four persons only! You may work by yourself if you think you can handle it. But BEWARE! If you're alone, then you have no partner to terminate your target, that's mean it will be much difficult." Jio said loud and clear, his eyes scanned everyone in the room. Even thou he couldn't find Teito, he knew that the teen would joining them soon or later after Ayaname see he's ready. Jio knew well what were they doing, by the way.

Bastian smiled at them, "Remember this, everyone, if you can't terminate at least eighty percent of your targets, then consider it that you have to repeat the exam next year." Bastian grinned at them, this somewhat made them felt uneasy. "You have time until 1200, that's mean five hours to finish the exam. EACH person have to terminate 100 targets," he could hear a lot of groans and complains from those 'kids', "No complaining, when you're become a Bishop, there's time when you have to defeat more than 500 darkness-creature in 2 hours~" said Bastian in a glee, the other Bishop cackled evilly too.

Its not a secret anymore that behind those holiness and saint, the Bishops and their Arch Bishop did have sadistic side. At least, every soldiers of Barsburg Empire in Hohburg Fort knew it.

"You have one hour and half to prepare everything, now…Move out!" said Lance. Every Bishop-candidates ran (in panic) to their room to prepare everything. Lance glanced at Hakuren, he walked toward him. "So, where's the Lady?"

"Partner? Oh, you can ask his husband," answered Hakuren glanced at Ayanami who right now talking to Miroku and Jio. "By the way, Bishop Lance?"

"Yes?"

"Who'll be our support?"

"That would be US, Hakuren-kun~!" answered someone behind him.

Hakuren turned his head, he found Hyuga waved his havd happily, beside him Konatsu grinned at Hakuren. "You again?"

"Whaa???! You don't want me to support you?" asked Hyuuga.

Hakuren scowled, "Whatever." His eyes landed on Konatsu, "Konatsu-san, about the other supports, are they Kuroyuri-san, Haruse-san, and Katsuragi-san?"

"Un! You're right, however, we adding one more person." Konatsu grinned at Hakuren.

"And that would be?"

"Mikage-kun, Of course!"

Heard Konatsu said that, Hakuren chocked. Lance laughed softly. "I bet it's your 'king's' order, hm?"

"Yeah, Ayanami-sama wouldn't let Ouhime-sama out from his eyes," answered Konatsu, chuckled.

"Figures, typical Verloren…" said Lance softly so no one heard him except them.

"Aa, Aya-tan was furious you know. Something must be happening yesterday right before our departure…it's like Aya-tan ready to kill someone, and he become cuddly to Ouhime-sama, you saw him yesterday, right?" asked Hyuuga, all of them nodded, "Right, he cuddled Ouhime-sama, ignoring our presence, as if he didn't want to let him go and doing something reckless…"

"But knowing Teito, he'll do it anyway." Hakuren nodded in his own statement, the others agreed with him.

"We just can hope that he won't do it," said Lance. "I don't want to see Ayanami's rage, you know?"

"Not only you, Bishop Lance, not only you…" said Hyuuga.

0700, arrival time…Raggs Kingdom Palace, Snow Garden.

The Fort landed successfully, all of them got out from the Fort, the test already begun. The last team who got out from the Fort was Teito and Hakuren, behind him; their six soldiers support team stand pridely. Ayanami was standing beside Teito. Once he sure that no one saw them except those who knew, he bend down and kiss Teito's lips. "Go now, and don't you dare DO it, I already let it go, you have to…understand?"

Teito smiled sadly at him, but did not answered him. "Let's go, Hakuren.

"Teito, promise me!" said Ayanami desperately.

Teito just ignored him, Hakuren walked behind him uneasily. The others too, all of them thought the same thing, something must be happening between them.

Ayanami ran to Teito and pulled him, he grabbed his wife's shoulder and his face so he could see Teito's. "Look at me, Teito…, damn it, look at me!"

Teito looked at Ayanami.

"Promise me, you will not revive it, promise me, Teito…"

Teito opened his mouth to say something, but he smiled instead.

"No, if you-"

"I can't promise you anything, Ayanami…" said Teito softly, "Because, this is one of my mission that God gave to me…."

"Goddamn it! But you can abandon it! You can choose not to take it!"

"I know! But you have to trust me to regain your goddamn power, Ayanami!" yelled Teito as loud as Ayanami's. Now the others knew what happened between them. "Damn it, I have my old power now! and I have to revive your power! I don't want to this world fall to his hand! And you know what I am talking about!"

Ayanami gritted, "I know…but the sacrifice-!"

"I won't leave you."

"…"

"I won't leave you…I promise, I'll be back…really, I promise…" Teito smiled sadly at him.

Ayanami closed his eyes in defeat, he sighed deeply, "Fine. I take your word."

Teito smiled at him, once Ayanami lease his hold, Teito gave the man a small kiss on his forehead. "Believe in me, everything is gonna be alright."

Ayanami just nodded. He stand up and gave a path for his wife and group. He didn't look at them after that. The group gone from their sight. The Bishops pats him on the back.

"You know what, Ayanami?" said Frau, "Believe in him, he'll comeback save. He give you his word…"

Ayanami just nodded, "I know, Zehel."

Castor smiled at them, "Frau is worrying about Mikage too, you know?"

"Wh-! No! that's-! Aw, damn it, CASTOR!" Frau screamed at him. Castor ran from Frau.

"Ayanami, let's have some tea with Jio-sama, Bastian-sama and Miroku-sama, shall we? Lance will joining us soon after this, just ignore those two right now," asked Labrador, he smiled brightly at the General.

Ayanami nodded. He came back to his cold self.

It's been 20 minutes of silence walking between them. All of eyes glanced at each other and always ended on Teito's direction. He was silent for a long time now. They could heard Teito sighed. "What?" asked Teito suddenly.

"N-nothing," answered Hakuren for them.

Mikage was silent all the way up. His eyes scanned the land. "Hey, Teito."

"Yeah, what is it, Mikage?"

"Catch!" Mikage threw something to him.

Teito catch it, a small warm-fluffy thing was on his hand. Teito raised his eyebrow, then took a peek. On his hand, there was the cutest creature that he ever see. "Burupya?"

"K-Kawai…" said Teito softly.

"Hey, isn't that a dragon pup?" asked Katsuragi to Mikage.

Mikage nodded, "Yes, I got it from my uncle one two month ago, I snuggled him up. That's why no one notice about him."

Katsuragi nodded. "I don't think its wise to take him here," said Katsuragi.

"Why's that?" asked Konatsu to him.

"I heard that this dragon race are living around here, they known as the Protector of Raggs Kingdom, you know?"

"Hee? Is that so? Teito-kun, do you know anything about it?" asked Konatsu again.

Teito smiled warmly at the little dragon, he nodded. "Yes, once of them, Sola as I named her, was one of my favorite. She sometimes took me fly."

They smiled at him, Teito's smile somewhat brighten their day.

Mikage grinned at him, "So, Teito, I give him to you, you name it."

"Mikage."

"Yes?"

"No, not you, but this little guy name will be Mikage," said Teito, smiled at the little dragon, "My Mikage, Mika…."

Mikage didn't know why he was blushing madly, he knew that it was the little guy, not him. "Uh…okay?"

Teito grinned, "Thanks-"

"Stop chatting, Teito, our targets are here…." Hakuren unsheathed his Bascule. "Dang, how many are they?"

Kuroyuri grinned at Hakuren, "Around fourty~!" he cackled in glee.

"…Well, that's much," deadpanned Hakuren.

Teito blinked, "Right, do you want to destroy them first of me?"

"I think I'll go for it now, you can do it later. Your Bascule plus your zhyphon power are one heck of a Light, you know?" answered Hakuren while he called out his own power and started to shoot the target-enemies, Wild Kors. "Sorry for destroying them, by the way," said the Blonde teen to the Warsfeils.

"No problem," answered Haruse, "Ayanami-sama have a lot of them anyway, and we choose Wars than Kors anyway."

Hakuren grinned at him along with Kuroyuri and stared cackled gleefully. Exactly like Kuroyuri's. Somehow it's scaring them out.

"Burupya~!" Mika (AN: nick name for Mikage-dragon) cheered on Hakuren from Teito's head. Teito smiled at him. "How many hours I got, Mikhail?"

"Enough to finish the exam and to 'the place' if you kill 100 in one shoot, my Lord."

"And that would be?"

"….around seven hours and half from now."

Teito nodded softly. His face set into serious one. He wouldn't screw this up. However, what he afraid of was if something happened to his companions. The tragedies that he afraid of, the future that the Fate and Destiny showed him in his dream long time ago. He didn't like it at all. He could only wish that it will not happening. A man could only hope.

Hyuuga saw his silence, he stand beside Teito. "Ne, Ouhime-sama…"

"…hm?"

"About what you said months ago…" Hyuuga took out a lollipop and shove it into his mouth, "About this "I mean, if somehow something happen to me or he don't remember about it in the mean time, then…I can leave with ease," statement of yours…it will happen today, right?" asked the man softly so only Teito who could heard him.

Teito shocked. "As sharp as ever…" Teito sighed while petting Mika's head, "Yes it is."

Hyuuga chewed his lollipop. "I…no I mean, We'll make sure that nothing will happen to you. I don't need enraged Ayanami and/or Angsty Ayanami on my plate…"

Teito chuckled darkly, "Yeah, I understand. Just don't get yourself killed…" said Teito softly.

Hyuuga smirked, "Yes…of course, if we died, we couldn't protect you."

"Right."

Another twenty minutes has been passed, Hakuren already defeat those forty Kors away. His breath was heavy. "Damn it, I never know that to purify those thing need a lot of energies. "

"That's because of you used too many on your attack, Hakuren…" answered Teito. "You use one percent of your power on each attack, that means you already use your forty percent of your power."

"Huh?"

"With your power and strength right now, you can defeat him using zero point two percent of your attack power to purify them. Didn't you know that?"

"…Damn, and you never told me in the first place."

"Your fault, you never ask me," said Teito, he licked his lips. "I have a bad feeling…should we get in?"

"We have to…or the enemy will smell your presence, Master."

Teito took a deep breath, "Let's go to the Palace, it's pointless to walk in the Garden like this, beside it's freezing cold here."

All of them nodded in agreement. But before they came to the Palace's main door, another Kors came. Now it's around sixty. "The heck? I'm still tred!" whined Hakuren.

Mikage whacked his head, "Just finish your damn portion, ototou."

"Itte…."

Teito and the others chuckled at the twins behaviour. Hakuren started purify the Kors, now he used the right amount of power in his attack. Teito smiled, satisfied that the blonde took his advice.

"Good, now…shall we get in?"

They were nodding.

Once they get in, they could saw a wide rood with white floor, white wall, and white crystal lamp. The stairs were grand, but the red carpet was tattered. The delicates painting of the Kings, Queens, and the Princes and Princess of the Kingdom were still intact, just a little bit burned on the lower part. They could see one big painting that they knew so well. Three year old Teito with Mikhail wings on his back, smiled at the painter, beside him, Vartag, or Fia Kreuz held him close, smiled with him.

Teito smiled when he saw this.

"Well, I don't know that you're THIS cute when you're a kid, Ouhime-sama," teased Hyuuga.

Teito chuckled at him, "Shut up."

"Whoa, Tei-kaasama was so CUTE!! And now he turned into BEAUTIFUL one! Kuroyuri is so LUCKY~!!" said Kuroyuri happily, "Aren't I, Haruse?"

Haruse smiled at him then nodded in agreement, "Of course, Kuroyuri-sama."

Konatsu and Mikage nodded in agreement, this leave Hakuren stared at the picture.

"What is it, Hakuren?" asked Teito.

"…Isn't that mean…the Emperor is searching for you?"

"Yes, but nobody know my existence thought. Only you people who knew it." Teito walked to the stairs and go to the second floor, "Come on."

They followed him. "But, what if they know?"

"I'll think about it later, I have an exam right now, Hakuren."

Hakuren nodded at let it go. Teito took the right door, a door with dragon decorative on it. Once he open it, they could see a white-flower sea.

"Welcome, to Blanche Flower Garden, sacred place of the Dragons race of Raggs Kingdom." Teito grinned at him, Mika shouted a happy 'burupya' sound.

It was stunning. There's no other words for it.

As fast as Teito turned his head to the garden in front of him, Teito called his Bascule and started to call his zhyphon. "Angel light," he murmured softly, then a bright light shone from his Bascule, blinded them. When it dimmed, they could see more than 100 Kors disappeared.

Hyuuga whistled.

"Holly shit," deadpanned Konatsu.

Katsuragi's jaw dropped.

"That was…" said Mikage.

"Awesome," finished Hakuren.

Kuroyuri cackled with glee.

Haruse was cowering, too scared.

"That will do, now I finished mine. Shall we?" said Teito easily, he walked passing the Garden to the door with black jewel on it. The gate was so big, on it's side, there were decorative of white wings. Once he open it, he could find a stairs to a jail. He walked leaving the others, since no one could see it. What they saw once they get in the room was an empty space.

"Uh…Teito?" called Mikage, he saw Teito stopped abruptly once they got in. "Mika-"

Hyuuga stopped him, "Don't tough him…"

"Eh?"

"He's in trance mode, it's dangerous for him if you disturb his concentration, Mikage," said Kuroyuri seriously.

"Something must be happening to him…" added Haruse.

Kuroyuri nodded, "I have a bad feeling about this…."

"! KUROYURI!" yelled Katsuragi when he saw dark power which was darker than theirs almost slice the chibi's head, fortunately Haruse pulled him in time. "What the hell was that?!"

"Look!" Konatsu pointed at Teito, the dark power turned into wings, dragon-like wings. Then it resided on Teito's back. However, the wings weren't stop at that, it seem like trying to consume Teito's light.

"Tei-Kaasama!" yelled Kuroyuri, when he try to reached at him, Haruse stopped him by pulled him on the waist. "Let me go, Haruse! Kaasama, they'll take Kaasama!"

"Kuroyuri-sama, stop struggling…" said Haruse softly.

"But-"

"Better listen to him, chibi-chan," said someone above them. They could see a person who was matching with this Lucifer person that Ayanami and Teito described. "Right now, the other chibi is in the middle of war between my Darken that possessed yur Verloren's power and body with his Light. I hope he lost the war thou…" he grinned evilly, "And I shall devour his soul afterwards.

Mikage and Hakuren growled at him, Hyuuga stand before him. "What do you mean?"

"He's the Master of Eyes of Mikhail, that's mean, he have much power than all of you, if I ate his soul, my power will be arise, and then, I can defeat Eve and make her mine…."

'I see…so he doesn't know Teito's real past,' thought Hyuuga. "I'm so sorry, but I can not allow that, sir, someone from our higher ups specially have us to protect him no matter what, you know?"

Lucifer smirked, "As if I care, I'll kill all of you if I have to."

"Heh, you can try~" said Hyuuga, his sword already oh his hand, ready to strike.

But, before Hyuuga could do the first strike, Lucifer already in front of him, "Too slow…"

"?!"

CLANK!

Right in front of him, Teito stopped Lucifer's deadly attack with his Bascule and the power of Eyes of Mikhail. "I won't let you touch them…Lucifer." Teito's chin was covered with the Darken, but soon, its gone, the Light from Teito's power was too strong for them to handle, Eyes of Mikhail awaken to it's full power.

Once Lucifer saw Teito's Bascule, his eyes widened in shock. "Eve?"

"No, I'm Teito Klein right now, Lucifer…" said Teito, smirked at him, "Angels Prayer," he murmured slightly, Lucifer screamed in pain once he heard the sounds of Angels Prayer. "I know that attack always effective used against you….."

Lucifer growled, once the pain in his head gone, he shoot a dark laser towards Teito.

"Barrier of Light!" Teito used Mikhail's Barrier to protect them. He took of the Eye of Mikhail. "Mikhail, keep the Barrier of Light on, I'll handle it by my self."

"Are you sure, My Mater?"

"Yes." Teito got out from the barrier.

"No! Teito!" called all of them.

He ignored them. "Shall we finish it, Lucifer?"

Lucifer grinned at him, "This is fun, I never know that you're not only the bearer of Eyes of Mikhail, but also the Reincarnation of Eve-himesama too! I thought this Ouka girl was you."

Teito gritted his teeth. "Holly Light," murmured Teito. His Bascule was surrounded by golden light. He ran toward Lucifer, ready to smash him.

"Black Aura," said Lucifer, grinned maliciously. His weapon now surrounded with darkness.

Both of them attacked each other mercilessly. No one planned to back of, Lucifer, being the evil one here, used a dirty way. Unknown to them, he already called one of his few Fallen Angels to help him, The fallen Angel took out its sword and ready to strike Teito's heart. Realizing it too late, Teito eyes widened.

"NO! TEITO!!!!!!"

ZRAT!

Sound of Flesh stabbed by the sword could be heard all over the place. Teito's eyes widened when he saw it. Behind him, Lucifer smirked evilly before he brought his own weapon to attack him.

Another sound of flesh stabbed by the sword could be heard again. Now, not only Teito's but also Haruse's and the rest of the guys eyes too.

(AN: try to listening Byakuya ~true light~ from DN Angel OST while listening to it)

"Mi…Mikage…? Ku-Kuroyuri…kun?" Teito was shell-shocked.

Lucifer grinned at him. Haruse took out his sword and destroyed the Fallen Angel in his rage. "I think…this is enough for today…we shall meet again, Teito."

Haruse took Kuroyuri, "Kuroyuri-sama, Kuroyuri-sama!"

Kuroyuri, being the one who protect Teito in the first attack by the Fallen Angel, his wound wasn't that deep or life-threatening as Mikage's. "I'm okay…it's…just my hand…" said Kuroyuri, smiled at him, "B-but…Mika-Mikage's…"

Teito's eyes landed on his best friend. "M-Mikage?"

"Burupya…?" said Mika, he was calling for Mikage too.

Mikage grinned at him, "H-hey…a-are you…o-okay?"

Teito nodded, "S-stop talking, Mikage, we…I'll-"

Mikage touched his cheek, he smiled at him. He shook his head weakly. "Teito…I…" he whispered something to Teito, before his hand falling to the floor, leaving a sobbing Teito screamed for him to come back.

"No, Mikage…MIKAGE! MIKAGE!!!!!!!!!"

The Sacrifice had been made, the cruelty of the fate had been shown, the tears of the Destiny had been sheet…

Pain, tragedies behind the past…in the end, they couldn't protect it…or can they?
