SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 9 out, this is Chapter 10 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.

Chapter 10: Flames of the Heart

"Juzo has returned!" one of the Myou Dha Sect members alerted the others.

"Mamushi, Juzo." Yaozu greeted the returning pair.

"Thank you... for gathering everyone." Mamushi stumbled to the ground. "Everyone..." she admitted. "I am a traitor... however, I want you to listen to what I am about to say. Earlier, Todo Saburota and I used the 'Left Eye' and 'Right Eye' we had stolen to revive the 'Impure King'. We left the Head Priest of the Myou Sha Sect, Suguro Tatsuma, behind. He's fighting alone back there right now. Please send backup." she pleaded, falling to her knees. "Please defeat the 'Impure King'!"

"This isn't the time to be arguing about this!" Houjo Uwabami barked, silencing any protestations. "All Exorcists, First and Second Patrol Divisions right up to the Shinbu First Division, head out to subjugate the 'Impure King'! The 'Impure King' is the family of the King of Decay. Don't forget to deal with the miasma."

Releasing the safety of his shotgun, Yukio turned to his female companion and was stunned to see her glowing a soft golden light as her angel wings emerged from her back.

"So, this is what you meant when you said you hated your blood." the Dragoon Meister remarked after the light died down. "You have angel blood... wait a minute, those wings... you have archangel blood in you." he corrected himself.

"That's right." Ami admitted. "My grandfather is Archangel Raphael."

"So, that's the reason why you rejected me two years ago." Yukio sighed.

"We..." Ami let out a breath. "Can talk about our relationship once this is over." at Yukio's confused expression, she surprised him with a quick kiss on the cheek "Let's just say I'm tired of running away from my feelings." she grinned and pulled out a silver key. "Portal of the Fire Bird: Phoenix, open!" she summoned the fiery bird Stellar Spirit.

"Himura-sama." the immortal bird materialized before his owner.

"We're battling the 'Impure King', Phoenix." Ami informed her Spirit. "Would you give me your aid?"

"A pet of the King of Decay?" the Stellar Spirit echoed. "You don't have to tell me twice! My flames are yours to use, my owner. But..." he turned to the tower of boils. "It looks a lot different from the pictures in the Archives."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
