A/N: Another chapter and only Ichigo is in it. Oh well. I think I can live with that since in the next few chapters, Kisshu and Ichigo are not going to be in it at all.

Ichigo: I don't know if I should feel loved or insulted.

Tsukiko: Feel what you want. I don't care at the moment. Anyway… I do NOT own TMM or the songs or the movies that I used in my stories. I only come up with the ideas and the changes for all of them. I'm sorry that this chapter is short but it happens. There are chapters that are at least a page short and there are some that are thirty pages long. My 'Heaven and Hell' story is proof of that. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews and please keep them coming. I mean, really! I love everyone for reading my story but I would like to know what you think. Thank you and please enjoy!

Ichigo: Bye-bye.

Scripture 5: His Reasons

When we arrived back at the castle, onee already had both Greed and Sloth lying on her bed and they were panting. There were at least five or seven feathers in each of them and both Greed and Sloth looked exactly as onee described the feathers to be; they both looked like they're in pain from poison. Onee didn't waste time to treat them. Wrath didn't help but she didn't seem to mind. She asked me to help because she knows that I'm willing to help. So I did. At least this was getting me closer to onee than Wrath. Onee pulled out all of the feathers out of Sloth, who had five, and she was pulling the sixth feather in Greed. She could touch it, which I was surprised about but I guess that if it's not puncturing your skin, you're okay. Wrath even proved my point when he picked one feather and was examining it while leaning on the wall next to the window. I was standing by onee's side with a bowl full of the bloody black feathers.

Then we started talking after onee pulled out the seventh and last feather. She hovered her hand over their wounds and her hand began to glow black. She moved it over each one slowly and moments later, Sloth and Greed's breathing began to calm down. She said, "They just need rest and some blood. I already scent demons to go and fetch some." When she meant by that, she meant that she commanded the demons to fetch some blood with her mind.

As Wrath continued to observe the feather he possessed, he asked, "What if the others already killed your demons?"

Onee already had an answer to that. "I told the demons to attack at different areas. There are only three people who can protect them. They will gather the blood Sloth and Greed need before they're all destroyed."

Then he asks, "Why did we leave?" I looked at him in surprise that he asked that. His eyes were on Onee as her hand stopped glowing and she removed it from Sloth's and Greed's bodies. "We had a winning chance after all," he reminded. "With Envy taking that kid hostage, we could have killed them all in defense for that child. So why did you tell us to leave?"

"My decisions are my own," she told him. I looked back at her and she didn't turn to look at him. She only said, "And I have the right to remain silent."

There was silence for a bit and I was surprised by it. I looked over at Wrath and he was staring at onee. After a few moments, he just got up and walked to the door, passing me in the process. He tossed the feather into the bowl I was holding and he said, "Whatever." Then he just left.

That was...very unusual for him.

Then onee let out a sigh and I looked at her as she said, "At least that he didn't blow off like usual. He's usually such a hot head sometimes." Then for one moment, I saw a face in her head. The same face that I saw on Wrath's face when she was going to bite that black angel. I was surprised that she had that image in her mind since her back was turned when it happened. But because she's able to seduce people into joining the dark side, she can see her victim's hearts. It's easier for her to know the heart by touching them and because she was in contact with that black angel, the black angel showed onee the golden eyes she saw on Wrath because it was the eyes of the man she's trying to bring back. That made me a little curious.

"Onee," I called. She looked at me and I asked, "Why is Wrath here? What's his reason for being here?"

Onee only smiled and she looked at the ground. "I don't remember the details that well but I know that Wrath wants to kill both Inuyasha and Kraehe. Especially Kraehe."

Just because I call her 'black angel', doesn't mean that I don't know her name so when I heard that, I was taking that as very suspicious. Because I still remembered that look Wrath had when she was about to be turned. He actually looked like he didn't want the black angel to become one of us. But not in revengeful, angry way. More like in a caring way.

Onee then looked at me and told me, "Don't let it bother you okay? We're fine with only the five of us deadly sins. Especially since there are only three and a half of them. Now can you be a dear and throw those feathers away. They make a mess when they lose their holy powers."

Onee wasn't kidding. When I went outside to throw them out, they turned to dust and they were flying around like ashes in the wind. I had to cover my face to make sure that they don't get in my eye or in my nose. Just because onee told me that they turn to ash when they ran out of holy power, I didn't want to take any chances. When they were out of the bowl, I had to wave my hands in front of myself like I smelled something revolting to keep them away. But while I was doing that, I saw something at the corner of my eyes.

When I looked up, I saw Wrath. He was using his wings to fly but he was only an inch off the ground and he was heading for the forest. I was watching him leave in suspicion and curiosity. I was wondering where he was going so I looked at him to get my answers. All I saw was that he sensed something and he's going after it. He sensed that black angel's aura. I was surprised to know that and before I knew it, he was lost in the sea of dead trees. So I followed him.

I followed him as far as I could so that he doesn't suspect me, not that it mattered anyway. When I was searching through him for my answers, he was concentrating more on where the black angel's aura was coming from and...he wanted to see her. I followed him as far as the Tokyo ruins. He stopped when he was on the side closer to the enemies' base. I hid behind a tree to hide and when I peeked out, I gasped. I saw the black angel and she was leaning on the building remains with an expression of deep sadness. When she noticed that Wrath was here, she gasped at the very sight of him.

"Mytho?" she asked.

What was the heck is going on here?!
