"Hang on Shinji, im coming.." Tenshimi said as she was trying to catch her breath. Her current location and his waas a distance apart; and although she had been running for almost thirty minutes and felt like she couldn't go on, she knew she had no choice. From the moment she had become his guardian angel, she swore with all her heart, she would be there, no matter how dark or unsure the road ahead. There it was, she saw it, just up ahead, but the lights were dimmed more than they normally were. unsure of what to do, she inhaled enough air to fill an oxygen tank and yelled for her friend Sakurai "Sakurai?!! Shinji?!! Where are you guys?!...Sakurai!!" She pulled out her phone and reached for the dial button to Sakurai's cell; but when she did so she was taken from behind by a mysterious figure in black holding a knife to her throat. She didnt in her whole life ever remember being so scared, her heart beating at least a hundred ninety times a minute. She was begging him not to hurt her, to the point tears struck and started to sting her eyes. She was so vurnerable, what would happen to her she thought..

Shinji was walking around in what felt like circles for an eternity, with no sign of relief from his worries about Tenshimi. "HEY!!", Shinji heard a loud scream echoing in his ears from his friend and turned around, hoping they perhaps had some good news about his girlfriend. "Did you find her?" Yuna and Sakurai asked in a rather deeply concerned manner. "No, and ive been looking for the past half hour of where it is she could be, but im totally clueless. I mean, Ive looked everywhere, called home, done everything but she still hasnt shown up anywhere. " Now all three of them were confused, and whats more is it was really late, and they thought she would be home by now. He had gotten used to the feeling of having her take his hand and erasing all of his troubles; that was a feeling he knew he had to feel agian.

"Just do what we tell you to and we'll let you live.." one of the mysterious figures said. She could barely see anything because of the tears but she saw the cold air released from his breath as he said those awful, cruel words. What did they want? Surely the didn't want what she thought they wanted, they would have started by now. "In the school this morning, we saw you, all lighting up like a christmas tree on Christmas Eve." another one of them said. She couldn't tell the difference because they all looked the same, but at least she knew now they were students. "We also heard you being able to grant wishes of whatever a person desires. We were wondering if you could grant a couple of ours?" She shook her head in disbelief, she couldnt believe what she was hearing. How could they have saw her? She made sure afterwards; she looked them in the eyes and told them she didn't know what they were talking about. "Don't play dumb princess, there are four of us, and just one of you; We are armed, you are not. Come on, we arent bad people, we just want a couple of things and then we will let you go, or we could get really rough with you...your choice.." Where was her guardian angel when she needed one, What had she done to deserve this? So many questions she couldnt help but to think and they were all coming at her so fast. "Oh come on princess..." one of them said while brushing her hair out of her face. She quickly turned her head the other way fighting to hold back her already heavy tears from falling even more. "Alright princess, fine, what if I try other ways of persuading you?" One of them said, holding the knife up to her shirt, taking a small slice to hint her what would happen other wise. "Ok, please dont hurt me...!!" She yelled out in fear.

Yuuki had not counted the time since she last had a phone call, and was a little worried about telling Mineko her daughter went missing; when in all actuality, she was probably just at the store or something. She had setup the table for two people only, although left everything else out for anyone who came in later that night, lying face up on the edge of the table. "Itadakimasu!!" They said, indulging in Mineko's signiture dish, Shrimp Tempura and Usagi Sushi. "I had another dream..." Mineko started to say, inhaling a big loft of air to summon the courage to do so. "Oh?" Yuuki asked, although knowing what she was talking about. "I know her time is running short, I just know it...and the worst part is I know I can't do a thing about it." is all that what said before Mineko burst into tears. Yuuki wanted to tell her so much, but best keep it a secret she thought; so she grabbed her hand and told her it was going to be alright instead.

The next morning after the police came to the door because Tenshimi had yet to be found, so Shinji had called the cops. As soon as knocking was heard on the door, a sparkle had shown brightly in Minekos eyes that maybe that was her daughter, she had finally came home...she thought. As she answered the door, she found the officers to be of unusual height, close to but not quite six feet tall. Standing proudly, but there was a sadness behind his eyes."May we come in?" One of the officers asked.


"Tensh--!!!!" Shinji started to yell, but couldnt find the strenth after having lost his voice from the night before. Together with his friends they were ready to throw in the towel, they had been up all night, and searched everywhere, but they couldnt find her. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But she didnt give up on Shinji, so he wasnt about to give up until he found her. If he had to search across desserts and through the sands of time, he would find her. "Shinji, shes probably fine, me and Yuna and going to go look on the bed, cause she might be there..." Sakurai said, his eyes bloodshot red, and walking around like a zombie. He was so tired he was going to collapse from a lack of sleep, if such was even possible at this point. "Fine ... GO!! I'll look for her myself!" Shinji said frusteratingly.

Tenshimi woke up and thought she had a horrible nightmare, rubbing her eyes trying to wash out the sleep remaining in irratation. "Where am I...?" she thought. This area didnt look familiar to her.. she felt like she had never been here before. As she awoke she felt kind of strange, almost like something was heavier, like she was wearing a coat or something. She wasnt wearing a coat however, and she didnt look any bigger than what she was before. "Look mommy!" A girl pointed in her direction; turning her head to the mirror pane of shop window glass now in front of her, making her realize she had already started growing in her second pair of wings, and the third as well. "OH NO!!" she thought, she had no longer than a week left to be with in her human form, and she knew that. What was going to happen to her, she would not be allowed back into heaven for sure; she only helped those poeple last night because they threatend her with her life. She hadnt helped anyone; she couldnt even help herself. She wasnt going to heaven, and she knew that. She threw herself on her knees currled up into a little ball holding her arms agianst her fact as to shield it from anyone seeing her tears. She had to find Shinji, she had to tell him what she had waited what felt like an eternity to say. She had to make sure he knew how she felt about him, he deserved to know the truth. It was the least she could do, him having done so much for her. At that point in time thats all she wanted, Shinji's arms wrapped around her, his breath breathing warmth upon her neck, her knowledge that he would not let anything happen to her; she wanted him by her side now.
