"I'm terribly sorry about that, Yami. Are you okay?" But he just whimpers, shaking in fear. 'Poor guy…he's shaking like a leaf. He can't even talk now.' She's startled as Yami suddenly hides in his wings.

But then a young girl with black hair and about their age walks over to them. "Excuse me…Are you okay?"

"The other kids were mocking him. Now he's scared to death. You might say he's new to this type of thing."

The girl kneels down and slightly lifts one of his wings. "Hello?"

Yami yelps and shies away.

"It's okay, Yami. I think we can trust her."

He shakes his head, still trembling.

"Come on, I won't hurt you…"

Then it's Tèa's turn to try. "Come on out of there, Yami. I don't think you're a freak." Another ruffled headshake from Yami. "What those kids said was wrong. I love your wings, Yami." When he still refuses to come out, Tèa sighs. "He still won't budge."

"What can we do…?"

Then she smiles. "I've got an idea. Come on." She goes to one side of Yami and kneels again. "Just follow my lead." She starts moving her fingers slowly along Yami's side and soon both girls are tickling him. "Come on now…"

"N-no!"

"We're not giving up that easily!" But they are forced to stop when he begins to cry. Both girls look at each other with a frown as Tèa sighs. "Well…we tried." But suddenly, Yami unfolds his wings and looks up at them. "Uh?"

"I'm sorry…"

"No need to apologize."

He sighs sadly and wipes his tears away. But no sooner had he done that do the girls begin to tickle him again. And soon he's rolling on the floor in loud laughter. "Ah! S-stop it!"

"Say it!"

"U-u-uncle!!" Tea giggles and sits up, stopping. "Thank you…"

"No problem. By the way," Tèa adds as she looks over at the girl. "I'm Tèa. What's your name?"

"I'm Madison." she replies back with a smile.

"Oh, well, pleased to meet you."

Yami shyly blushes a little.

"And who might this angel be?"

"Uh! Um…" He turns away, very shy now.

"This is Yami. He's a good friend of mine."

"Wow…Your wings ARE beautiful…"

"Um…thanks…And it's a pleasure." He takes her hand and kisses it.

"Oh, my…" she giggles.

"Hey…Madison?"

"Yeah?"

"Um…you might find this crazy, but…I have angelic wings, too?"

"Really? May I see them?" It's now Tea's turn to be timid. But Madison urges her on, making her giggle. "Come on!"

"Okay. But only if you promise to keep it a secret! I don't exactly…want to go through what Yami just did. Even my mom doesn't know about them yet. Yami gave them to me."

"Aww, that's so sweet! Are you two going out?"

Yami blushes while Tèa just laughs. "Not exactly. We're just really good friends."

"Suurrre…"

"Hm? What, you think we aren't?"

"I think you're more than that." She says with a wink. In the bathroom, Tèa shows off her new wings, leaving Madison awestruck before pulling out her camera. "Hang on! The school has to see this!"

"Madison, no! I told you, it had to be kept secret!"

She only giggles at her new friend's panic. "Relax, I was only kidding."

Tèa sighs in relief before smiling and twirling twice. "So? What do you think?"

"They're beautiful…"

"Yeah, that's what my other friends thought, too."

"Well, we should get to class. Is…Yami a new student?"

"Nah. He was only dropping me off here after I overslept. But before he could leave, the other students saw him and started teasing and, well…you know the rest."

"I see…"

Soon they go out to say goodbye to Yami

"I hope you two have a great day."

"Thanks, Yami." replies Tèa. "We hope you feel better, too."

"And it was a pleasure to meet you, "Lady Madison." Once again he takes her hand and kisses it, making Tèa suspicious and somewhat jealous. He then removes something from his neck and places it in Madison's hand. When she opens it, it's a necklace with a silver angel on a chain.

"Oh my…"

"Fare thee well, Madison." He kisses her cheek right in front of Madison and flies away, leaving Tea both shocked and heartbroken.

"He certainly is a charmer…"

"Yeah…but then he is the King of Angels." She says with a forced, sad smile. Little did she realize, her pain was about to get even worse.

After school, Yami arrives at the window and spots Madison, calling her name. He motions for her to go out to the hallway. And when Madison excuses herself…

"What is it, Yami?"

"I forgot something for you…"

"What?"

Yami then leans down and kisses her, leaving her surprised at first but then also kissing back.

About this time, the bell rings and Tèa gathers her books to leave. But when she exits the classroom, she looks up and gasps, her school books slipping from her arms and crashing to the floor at the shocking sight before her.

Yami however, is unfazed as he pulls away. "Madison…would you like me to fly you home?"

"But what about Tèa?"

He smiles. "She'll walk. Come on." Tèa tries calling after him, but he ignores her as he takes Madison's hand and they both leave, leaving a devastated and heartbroken Tèa behind.

'Yami…How could you…?' Forgetting all about her papers and books, she turns and runs for home, sobbing as tears stream behind her.

Part Two coming soon…
