"What the hell am I thinking?" Thought Michael changing his position. Him and Mitsukai had
been laying together for about 2 hours. Michael drifted off to sleep for a couple of minutes,
but woke up a while ago, as for Mitsukai, she was sleeping like a rock.
"She's bound to die. I know that, but I'm still letting her think I'm her tenshi. Her Shugotenshi."
Mitsukai moaned a bit and brought her arm closer to her stomach.
"She's probably dreaming again," he thought.
"She doesn't look too happy. She should be glad to know that she's going to die soon. She didn't
like her life and when Raphael was about to kill her she stepped right into it."
She moved again and Michael had to change positions once more.
"Is is me?" he thought.
"Michael........" Michael looked down to see Mitsukai opening her eyes.
"Nani?" He asked. She smiled brightly and pushed herself closer up to his face.
"Arigatou." Slowly she closed her eyes again and layed her forehead against his.

Raphael layed the newspaper down on the coffee table.
"Tomarrow Futoji should be in the paper. At least Mitsukai won't have to tell Mrs.Takai."
He got up from the couch and walked over to Michael's bedroom door. He took a long sigh
before opening it. Michael was still on the bed with Mitsukai. She looked better at least. Her
head wasn't as red as it was before.
"Mika-chan?" He whispered.
"Don't call me that....." he heard as Michael got up and sat at the edge of the bed rubbing his
temples.
"How is she?" Raphael asked sitting down on the chair Michael had been sitting in.
"Better. Still a little dazed though." Raphael nodded.
Michael slowly sat up and pushed the blankets that fell off back on Mitsukai.
"Is she still crying over Futoji?"
"A bit." They both got up and headed out of the room. Michael took one last look at her
before closing the door and placing his forehead on it. Raphael frowned.
"Mika-chan---"
"Don't call me that."
"Michael.....Mitsukai's going to go to heaven. We're not going to fail this mission." Michael nodded
and walked away from the door.

Mitsukai sat up and grabbed her head. It was pounding.
"Unnghh...." She slowly sat up looking around for Michael.
"Mmmmmmmmm..." She got off the bed and tripped on the chair next to bed.
"Shit." Mitsukai continued her cuss words until she got to the door and opened it. Raphael and
Michael were in the living room playing a video game.
"Your ass is grass!" Announced Michael moving hands to the control movements.
"Not quite.........Oh.Shit.Dammit.You....Urgghh!" Michael threw his controller down and started
a laughing fit as Raphael started to sweatdrop.
"Having fun without me," Mitsukai said startling both of them. Michael smiled.
"I kicked Raphael's ass." Mitsukai laughed.
"Shut up Mika-chan!"
"Don't call me that!"
"I'll call you bitch face."
"Oh that's it!" Michael and Raphael got up in unison, but Mitsukai stopped them from fighting.
"Come on. My head hurts." Raphael gave one last scowl before walking over to the closet.
Mitsukai turned her gaze to Michael.
"Arigatou." Michael nodded and Raphael came back with some aspirin.
"Here," he said handing it to her. She quickly swallowed the pills and layed on the couch.
"How much longer are you guys going to stay up?" she asked. Raphael smiled.
"Depends. If you give me a nice lesson on how to 'fold' my sheets or until Michael calls me a
bad name."
"Cunt."
"Well, I'm beat. Night guys." Raphael walked off towards his own bedroom. Mitsukai giggled.
"I should be getting to bed soon," said Raphael stretching his arms out.
"You?" He directed his gaze towards Mitsukai.
"No. I just got up. Plus there's only two beds. I'll take the couch later." Michael nodded and
walked to his bedroom.
Mitsukai walked over to the nearest window. It was beating rain outside. She sighed and looked
down at her hands that still had some of Futoji's blood on them.

Author's Note : "I know that Futoji's blood couldn't have traveled all the way over to Mitsukai
but that's just the way I wrote it. Futoji and Mitsukai were actually a lot closer than what I made
it seem."
