AN: DON'T SHOOT! It's a little thing called writers block! Any writer knows what I'm talking about. It's not a fun thing, but I had a little help ~ and threats ~ from a few friends of mine at school (Thanks Rei-chan and Hotaru-chan! I wuv you!). But here's the next part. It's kinda short, but you can deal.

DISCLAIMER: Okay. None of us owns Sailor Moon or Angel. Let's face it, they were throught of by a couple of genius'. I do, however, own the story. The characters of Eternity/Faith, David Phable, Seth, and Charity are mine. Don't steal cuz I got a few other stories I'm working on and they play integral parts in and I don't wanna have to scrap them cuz of a little dispute. Now, on with the story.

Human Nature
by Love's Hope



*RING*
"Come on! Pick up already!" I muttered into the phone.
*RING*
"Hello?" a female voice asked.
"Tokoshie."
"Hachimenreirou."
"I need you to meet me in the place I hid that thing that one time and bring that thing I hid." I said quickly, knowing she understood, and hung up. I looked around briefly, making sure my tail was still with me. I flipped my hair and quickly glanced behind me, seeing him.
I zipped up my sweatshirt and began walking toward Sterling Park. A smile crossed my face.
"Well, boy. I hope you have stamina." I whispered to myself. I took off running, not at my inhuman pace, mind you. But still fast enough to where he had to push himself to keep up with me. I was in the middle of the park by the time I stopped running. I took a glance around, making it look like I was looking for someone and took the chance to look behind me.
"I'm impressed. You've managed to keep up with me." I whispered before I jogged toward the tree line into the patch of woods that boardered one part of the lake that sat in the middle of the park. I made my way, carefully, through the trees and plants, stopping when I reached a small little clearing on the lake. There were flowers along the boarder, ending the trees, and a bench in the middle. I stopped just before the bench and looked out over the water, waiting for my tail to get close enough for me to make my move.
He was only a few feet behind me now, I could tell. I made my move. In what must have been a nanosecond to my tail, I turned, picked him up by his shirt collar, and pinned him up against a nearby tree.
"Who are you and why are you following me?" I growled at him. He grabbed my wrists with his mortal hands.
"I . . . . I . . . . " he stuttered.
"My patience is wearing thin." I warned.
"M-My name i-is Da-David. D-Darien sent m-me." he stammered. I looked him straight in his terrified eyes.
"Tokoshie!" I called.
"Yes?" she answered, emerging from the trees next to me, a blood red velvet bag in her right hand.
"Fill it. I wanna know if he's telling the truth."
"Right away." she set to work.
"Oh! One more thing."
"Yes?" she stopped, the bag only slightly hanging open.
"You can return to your natural looks."
"Finally! I was wondering when you were gonna relieve me!" she walked to the lake, opening the bag all the way. From the bag, she removed a pure silver goblet encrusted with the eleven more precious gems in existance bent down, filling it with water. She stood up and turned toward us. A bright white light engulfed her and, when it died down, she looked like her old self, pitch black hair and all. She approached me, holding the goblet out to me.
I removed one of my hands from the mortal, tightening my grip with the other hand, and took the goblet from my sister. "You say Darien sent you. Why?"
"I-I don't know! H-He just s-said to follow y-you. Or was it you?" he said, motioning to Faith.
"Well, let's see if you're telling the truth. Just take a sip. It's not going to hurt. You have my word." I lifted the goblet to David's lips and he took a sip of the cool water. I watched as his eyes turned from a terrified green to a drowsy pool of almost black.
"What's your name?"
"David Edward Phable."
"David Phable?"
"Yes."
I looked at Eternity and knew she was thinking the same thing I was.
"Who sent you?"
"Endymion ~ your lover."
"Why?"
"To make sure you were alright after your last encounter."
"Your free to go." I let go of him, allowing him to fall to the ground with a dull thud. I handed the goblet to Eternity and she downed the rest of the cool liquid without a second thought.
"You're lucky that only works on mortals." I said, looking at her disgustingly.
She shrugged and placed the goblet back in the velvet bag. I walked back into the woods and exited where I entered, Eternity right behind me.
"You think she knows?" I asked, stopping and looking at my sister.
"I don't know. But there's only one way to know, now isn't there?"
"Tonight?"
"Too soon. I say we pay a visit to lover-boy first and find out the real deal before approaching Hope with this info."
"Good idea. But I need a shower first."
"So let's head back. Angel knows, so there shouldn't be much confusion as to why I'm there."
"Good."
