Disclaimer: You know it already.

Usagi woke up in a cold damp place. Her eyes had not focused, but it didn't matter. She knew she didn't want to see what this place really was. The sound of water dripping and a cold gush of wind blew past her was terrifying enough.

"Usagi?"

Usagi suddenly jerked her head at the sound of the all too familiar voice of Yaten. Her eyes focused and she whimpered. She was in a cage like jail cell. Out side of her cell was all kinds of torture gadgets that made her want to hide. She looked over to where she heard Yaten's voice and tried to give him a soft smile, but couldn't. He was in the cell next to hers. "Yaten… how are you?"

Yaten let out an exaggerated sigh. "I hate this place. This is the Church's dungeon. It is a place where people were supposed to have exorcisms. It looks more like a torture chamber to me though."

Suddenly, an evil voice let out a laugh. "That's right; it is now a torture chamber. I remodeled it after taking this body."

Usagi and Yaten both watched as the Preacher walked into the dimly lit dungeon. His eyes were like snake eyes once again. He had nothing to hide now, not from these two. "I've been waiting for you, Tenshi."

Usagi frowned. "What are you talking about?"

The Preacher glided towards her and grinned a fanged smile at her. "Why, you don't even know why you have this ability? You can bring back the dead; heal wounds that can not be healed. Why?"

Usagi glared at him. She didn't know, she just thought it was a gift or something. She never asked why, she was just thankful for it.

"You can save a whole village. You can talk to the other side." The Preacher continued. He let out a soft crackle. "…And you don't know why?"

Yaten walked closer in hopes to find out what he had to say. He hated being in this cage and he was going to let the Preacher know about it. "Why?" He asked sternly.

The Preacher ignored the boy. "I see," The Preacher grinned and cackled some more. "Well, let's start off with who you really are. You are the head number one Tenshi, a daughter to one of the first Tenshis ever. You were graced with beauty, and so much power. You would stay up in Heaven and watch the mortals, sometimes causing them to fall in love; some times you would create a miracle which allowed a mortal to live. You hated any one to have anything bad happen to them. I don't know much more then that though about whom you were. However, my inside report states that you made a deal and were granted a mortal life with full use of your powers. Your wings were transferred into a piece of cloth and you were sent to earth. You had said you wanted to find love." The Preacher eyed Yaten. Yaten didn't like this look at all. "I knew if you found love and had a child, that child would be a half Tenshi. Now, we can't have that." The Preacher turned back to Usagi. "We can't even have you here." Usagi backed away slowly from the bars and the Preacher. It didn't faze the Preacher as he melted through the bars and appeared on her side of the cell. "That is why you must die, Usa-tenshi."

Yaten felt so powerless as he watched The Preacher reach out to Usagi. Yaten was never known for being as kind or as strong as his brothers. He was known for his temper and spoiled behavior. However, he had changed with finding the love he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. "Who are you?" He yelled, hoping to distract the Preacher. "What are you really?"

The Preacher eyed the other man. "I am the number one warrior for the other side. I have always been her enemy. We are the same rank from each side. We are the same age. That is all you need to know."

Yaten made a discusted face. "Errr…. You can't be the same age. You're at least eighty-six."

The Preacher turned to Yaten in anger. "I killed the Preacher and took his body you stupid human! If I look like the good guy, the people will follow me anywhere like puppies!"

Yaten's eyes widened. "When?"

The Preacher grinned. "When you rushed off to find your true love, I heard everything in the bar."

Yaten's face started to pale. It was his fault… all of this.

"I was at the bar. I saw the man with his living daughter. I listened carefully. I had already been searching for the Tenshi. That is why Mamoru was born. Do you know who he is really?"

Yaten felt sick. All of these innocent people… falling victim to this demon's power. This demon who had killed their true Preacher. Yaten had never known the Preacher because he never had the time or patience to go to Church. This plan was perfect. No one would ever question the Preacher's orders.

"He is your missing Prince Endymoin. I was once disguised as the palace guard. I had figured that the Tenshi would be there living a rich life. I was wrong and so, before the Prince was to get married, I put one of my warriors in his body. Mamoru, my most skilled spy. I didn't imagine Endymoin's soul being this strong. He should have killed her a long time ago. Now, I have to finish this task."

Usagi slumped to the floor. Everything made sense. The man in the white outfit that had told her not to keep going to that place and recovering souls, he was a Tenshi as well. He knew her, but she didn't know him. Tears that she didn't know she had began to fall down her cheeks. She was breaking. Who is she? Was she really a Tenshi?

The Preacher turned back to Usagi. "Where is it?"

Usagi looked at the demon. "What?"

"Your wings!"


The people slowly placed the hay at the base of the stakes that were to be Yaten's and Usagi's final resting place. Taiki eyed the preparations as he held his wife by his side. Ami let out a sob.

Seiya turned to the couple. "This must never happen. I will see to it."

Taiki looked at his younger brother. "Seiya, you and I both will see that this will never happen." The three headed back to Taiki's and Ami's house in silence. They slowly entered the small home and Ami headed to the kitchen while Taiki and Seiya say on either side of the table in the living room.

Seiya held the glowing cloth close to his heart. He felt so much pain for both Usagi and Yaten. This was not right. "We have to save them, and then leave. I don't care how."

Taiki nodded his head. "The burning is tomorrow at noon."

Seiya let out an exaggerated sigh. "We have to get them out tonight."

Ami placed a tray of tea and cookies between the two men on the table. "Iie, the place is heavily guarded. I've never seen so many guards."

Taiki picked up a cookie and looked thoughtfully out into never land. "I can not sit back and let my youngest brother die in vein."

Seiya nodded. "I can't let either of them die."

Taiki shoved the cookie in his mouth. "You know, as the Sherriff, I have access to everything, including blueprints to the Church."

Ami placed her hand on her stomach. "They won't let you see them because they know you would try to save Yaten!"

Seiya stood up. "Leave the blueprints to me, brother. I don't want you to die again." Seiya then rushed out the door of the house. He would be damned if he lost either broth again.


Yaten began to sweat bullets as some guards placed him on a machine in the dungeon. The guards were dressed in all black with chains connecting their shirts to their pants and masks to their shirts. They strapped his wrists and ankles in place. Yaten gave Usagi a exasperated look. She was in full fledged tears.

"Now, Tenshi. Where are your wings? Tell me, or your lover dies a slow death!" The Preacher yelled as he pointed to one of the guards to reveal the whip they had hidden. Yaten closed his eyes tightly. His heart was racing and he could feel his body start to burn from the fear he had. However, he didn't want Usagi to tell the Preacher anything. He wasn't a Preacher, he was a demon who wanted her dead. Yaten would die for her any day with out regret. "TELL ME TENSHI!"

Yaten suddenly yelled, "DON'T! I DON'T CARE ABOUT MYSELF! DON'T DO IT!"

A guard suddenly whipped Yaten from behind. It stung like hell. "Shut up." The Guard hissed. Yaten shook his head. He looked at Usagi, pleading her with his eyes.

Usagi had jumped up and tried to rush to the cell's bars. "YATEN!" The Preacher caught her and held her tightly.

"Tell me, where are your wings!" The Preacher hissed in a very snaky voice.

"Iie! YATEN!" Usagi's tears began to flow like a waterfall. "Iie!"

The guard whipped Yaten again. Yaten gritted his teeth, but he didn't want Usagi to see him in any pain.

"I don't know! Please, don't hurt him! I have no wings!" Usagi screamed out.

The Preacher tightened his grip on her. "Lier. You are the Tenshi, I know it."

"Please," Usagi breathed her pleads. "Please, don't hurt him…"

The Preacher nodded at the guards and they all closed in on Yaten. Yaten hated to feel so helpless. In fact, he hated a lot of things. However, he loved Usagi. "Do what you want to me, she is telling you the truth."

Suddenly, everything was black.


Seiya hid the glowing cloth in his shirt as he rummaged through old documents at the town's library. People eyed him with distrust, but he didn't care. He had to save the two innocent people who were going to be wrongfully killed. He yanked out a blueprint and smiled. 'This is it.'

"Seiya-san?" A wither voice said behind Seiya. He turned around slowly and saw the librarian. "I'm sorry, but you can not check out these documents at this time."

Seiya twisted around so he faced the librarian. "Excuse me?" He kept his hands behind him as he pushed the blueprint up the back of his shirt.

"I said, you may not check out stuff now. It's for safety reasons." The old woman stated.

Seiya frowned at the woman. "Safety reasons?"

"We don't want you to go and disrupt the burning tomorrow." The Librarian leaned in. "Of your evil brother."

Seiya saw red. "Why did you say that?" He yelled.

"Unlike you or Taiki-san, Yaten was always rotten. Think about it. He hated to do the monthly concerts, which they want you two to do the day after the burning, and he always was frowning and spoiled."

Seiya pushed the woman to the side. "Excuse me, but I've heard enough of this bullshit. Yaten is a good person." Seiya said as he stormed out of the library. He didn't care that everyone eyed him in horror at his rudeness.

"Boy, if you don't shape up, you're next!" A man's voice shouted but Seiya ignored him and slammed the doors shut.


The Preacher wiped his brow as he held the limp girl in his other arm. Usagi was all black and blue, and unconscious. Yaten wasn't much better. However, neither of them talked. The Preacher eyed the girl in his arms for a thoughtful moment. He had to find her wings. He had to burn everything, now.

"Master, should we let him down?" One of the guards hissed.

"Iie." The Preacher hissed back. "Leave him there till tomorrow." He then tossed Usagi to the side. "We have more important things right now." He the exited the cell as another guard closed the door. "You can't travel around town like that. You must all stay in the dungeon. He then turned and climbed out of the dungeon through the stairs. When he arrived at the top of the dungeon stairs he opened the doors to reveal the open skies. He then climbed out and kicked the doors close. He was now in the graveyard of souls who had departed this world. He looked around and smirked. Just because he was a demon, didn't mean her could not walk the graves or enter a church. He frowned. But he did get weaker near the Church. That was why his warriors build these stairs and torture chamber. It was nowhere near the Church. Who ever heard of a demon telling the truth?


Seiya and Taiki studied the plans and Taiki pointed at the lower chambers. "They may have them in here."

Seiya nodded. It was an exorcism room. An easy place for a demon to work in. "Let's do this tonight at dark."


The Preacher walked the streets of the village smiling at the other people who walked past him. He wanted to keep you the good attitude so that no one would ever assume something was wrong. However, he needed to find those heavenly wings and fast. He glared towards the home of Taiki and Ami. He slowly walked up the stairs and let himself into their home.

"Good Afternoon." He said in a normal tone. Taiki was standing over Ami, looking at some papers on the table while Seiya was standing nearby holding a cookie he was about to eat. Seiya and Taiki both glared at the Preacher.

"What do you want?" Seiya growled. He hopped that the Preacher did not know what was on the table before Taiki and Ami.

"Our prisoner, Usagi, was asking for a piece of cloth that she wanted to wear while she burned." The Preacher said with no emotion. "It should sparkle."

Ami stood up and glided towards the Preacher. "I have a very pretty blue dress she could use." Ami knew that that was not what the Preacher ment, but it took his eye off of the table and gave Taiki time to yank the Church's plans from the table top.

"She didn't say it was a dress, it was like a scarf I believe. She said it was in her family for years." The Preacher said, eyeing the two men behind Ami.

"Oh, sorry, I don't know of any scarves." Ami said politely.

"I see, may I look around her room then?" The Preacher asked. "Maybe I could locate it."

Taki glared at the Preacher. "No. You have no right in this house."

The Preacher walked past Ami. "How officer like of you." He eyed the blueprints on the floor. "Like stealing the blueprints to the Church where your brother is being held. Tisk."

Taiki glared at him. "He is innocent, and you know it!"

The Preacher turned to Ami. "Please excuse us." Ami looked worried, but curtsied and left the room. The Preacher turned back to the men. "I know it. I am willing to release him back to both of you unharmed."

Taiki and Seiya exchanged glances. "For what?" Taiki asked.

"For the pink glowing cloth that the girl owns. A life for a piece of clothing. A very easy exchange."

Taiki and Seiya exchanged looks once again. Seiya felt the cloth by his heart. He knew that this cloth was the heavenly wings that Usagi needed. This cloth was more then just a cloth. "Sorry, but like Ami said, we never seen it." Seiya lied.

The Preacher glared at the raven haired man. "You are willing to sacrifice your younger brother for a piece of cloth?"

Seiya bit his lip and took in a sharp breath. The eyes were ice cold, not human at all.

"Excuse me, but how would you know if Yaten is younger then Seiya?" Taiki asked logically. "You've only been here for a year."

The Preacher smiled. "People talk." He then turned to leave. "Oh, and if you ever do find the cloth, you can find me at the Church." He then left their home, knowing that they would never look for him to give him the cloth. However, he also knew that his plan was working. They were going to attack the Church.


Yaten moaned as he began to regain conscious. A bitter taste was in his mouth and he spat it out. Blood. His whole body hurt. He slowly looked up to see Usagi lying on the ground, not moving. " Usa-" He whispered. His voice was weak even though he never screamed. It would have torn Usagi. He grimaced realizing that after he had passed out, they began to beat on her as well. He looked away in pain. 'Why do that to her? Isn't it already more then enough to burn her tomorrow?'

"He's awake, master." A guard said. Yaten grimaced. He knew that they were not going to ease up on him just because Usagi was out. They were willing to kill him slowly to get to her wings.

"Good. Hello Yaten. I just came back from the home of your brother. He was so much more informative then you." The Preacher said as he walked in front of Yaten. He looked Yaten in the eye. "I now have the wings. I now will just torture you for fun."

Yaten's jaw dropped. "Nani?" His heart stopped for a moment. 'No, neither of them would do this to her, never!' "Prove it!" Yaten insisted.

The Preacher pulled out the pink cloth and showed it to Yaten. "See?"

Yaten examined it and slowly broke into a grin. "Heh… That's nice."

The Preacher frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Yaten shrugged. "I saw through your lie, that's all. That isn't real."

The Preacher glared at Yaten. "What?" He let the cloth go and it vanished into thin air. "How would you know?" He asked as he grabbed Yaten's neck, ready to strangle him.

"I'll never tell." Yaten said as the Preacher started to squeeze.

"Which of your brothers have it?" The Preacher hissed.

Yaten just glared at the man. Not caring about himself, something that seemed like a normal thing now that Usagi was in his life.

"Fine, don't answer. I'll find out tonight, when they attack." The Preacher let go of Yaten and turned to a guard. "Do what you will with him, just do not kill him. The village wants to see that one."


A/N: What will happen at the Church? How will they all get out of this mess?
