Crossroad of Angels
Turn One:
Changing Fate
Junjou was about to take shelter from the rain that pounded mercilessly on her back when a soft weeping reached her ears. Junjou decided to follow it, she was already soaked, a little more rain would not hurt much. To her surprise, she found a little boy, around age ten, whimpering with fright on the corner of the street. He had long, unruly black hair that the rain had plastered to his back. He was hugging himself tightly, shivering from the icy sting of the rain. Junjou made her way over to the boy, squatting down next to him.
"Are you okay? Where are you parents?" She asked in a soothing tone.
"O-okaasama and O-otousama left Chuin all alone..." The boy whimpered.
"Chuin? Is that your name?" Junjou asked.
"H-hai, boku wa Chuin..." Chuin replied in a shaky voice.
"I'm Junjou, here, you must be cold! " Junjou wrapped her arms around the other child, "Here, how about I take you with me to my home and we'll find your parents for you, alright?"
"A-arigatou..." Chuin managed to whisper before passing out.
"Wow, Oniichan isn't going to be too happy..." Junjou sighed as she half-carried, half-dragged Chuin into her meager home.
~¤~
Junjou spotted the house and continued pulling the boy, now from pure will instead of strength. The house was empty. Her oniichan wasn't home. 'Strange...' Her attention was pulled away from the oddity of being alone when Chuin moaned softly, his muscles twitching a bit. She wrinkled her nose and set him down, wrapping him in a blanket.
Chuin awoke to the sound of a song, being hummed by a girl. He opened his eyes slowly, painfully, and then blinked in surprise. He was in someone's home, and a young girl was cooking something while humming a song. She was around his age with sandy colored hair and soft blue eyes. Her skin was pale and ghastly yet it only added to her cuteness.
"What's that song?" Chuin asked. Junjou was so shocked by the sudden voice she jumped.
"Oh, Chuin, you're awake! I just wish Oniichan would come home now..." She sighed heavily and turned back to her cooking. Chuin suddenly remembered a distant voice asking his name.
"You're Junjou, aren't you?" Chuin asked.
"Yep, welcome to my itty bitty house." She flashed him a grin.
"What was that you were humming?" Chuin asked.
"It's a popular song among the boys in this village, I picked it up somewhere along the way. The words go like this,
"The well's water is full now,
And the rain has stopped now.
The muddy ground by the pond,
Has many earthworms.
Big brother, won't you please?
Take me to catch earthworms.
Big brother, won't please?
I want to catch earthworms.
Everyday I wait for you,
Wait for you to come back.
Big Brother, won't you please?
Take me to catch earthworms...
"I sing it whenever I can't find Oniichan, though, today wouldn't be a bad day to catch earthworms!" Junjou giggled.
"You have a pretty name." Chuin replied, though slightly off-topic.
"You think so?" Junjou asked, surprised.
"Yes." Chuin nodded.
"Well, are you hungry?" Junjou asked, pointing at the food she had been preparing. Chuin's stomach took that time to grumble loudly.
"H-hai." Chuin replied rather sheepishly.
"It's not much, but we're not exactly rich." Junjou grinned again, not seeming to mind as she gestured around the house. The house itself was just a small gray room. The walls were cracked and somewhat stained, blacked by the smoke that escaped the chipped and cracked stove. A few herbs hung from lengths of string on the walls and a few vegetables were scattered around the stove. A small knife was hung on the wall near Junjou, she had just been using it for her cooking. Chuin realized he was laying in the only blanket in the house.
"Come on, let's eat! You can use my oniichan's bowl. He won't mind." Junjou set a cracked bowl with a sweet smelling soup in it before Chuin. Chuin obediently sat down before the food. Junjou set her own bowl of soup down and dub out a small rice cake. She split the rice cake in half and handed half to Chuin. Chuin was feeling rather awkward. Here he was, sharing a meal with a girl he had met no less then ten minutes ago, talking as if they had know each other for their whole lives.
Junjou dipped her rice cake in her soup and was about to take a bite when there was a loud knock on the door.
"Junjou! Come quickly!" a male voice called. Junjou rushed over and opened the door. She recognized the man as one of the men she had seen her brother with.
"Aren't you my brother's friend....?" Junjou asked.
"Come!" He grabbed her arm and yanked her outside. Junjou let out a sharp yelp, this alerted Chuin inside the house.
"Junjou? Junjou!" He saw her being dragged away be a strange man, he didn't like the situation. Chuin closed the door behind him and ran after Junjou.
He lost sight of her after a while for the man dragging Junjou was much faster than he. A sudden, ear-piercing scream shattered the silence, the scream belonged to Junjou. Chuin forced himself to run faster.
"Chuin!" Junjou threw herself into him arms as he rounded a corner.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"T-they said something happened to 'niichan... I'm scared, Chuin..." Junjou's body trembled, "I scared that something bad happened to Oniichan..."
"Come on!" The man who had grabbed Junjou called.
"Should we follow him?" Chuin asked Junjou. Junjou forced herself to nod.
Chuin gripped Junjou's hand tightly as he followed the strange man. They walked for a long time, they rounded a sharp corner, Junjou stumbling along behind him. Chuin found himself facing a forest, by the entrance of the forest were.... Bodies.
"Junjou! Don't look!" Chuin snapped. Junjou either didn't hear him in time, or didn't listen. She let out another scream.
~¤~
Junjou buried her head in her arms as she sunk to her knees, "Oniichan! Oniichan!" She sobbed, "Iie! Onegai, iie... Iie!"
"What happened...?" Chuin asked, scared and confused.
"He was attacked by a wolf," the man that had led them here replied, "My name is Fukanou, I was his best friend. What would you like me to do with the body?" Chuin looked down at Junjou.
"Anou.... Anou... Please, bury him near her house." Chuin forced Junjou on her feet and led her home.
~¤~
Junjou barely noticed her feet moving as Chuin led her home. Her eyes stared blankly ahead and her mind was too numb to make straight thoughts.
'Niichan.... Oniichan... You took care of me..... So long, after Okaasama died... Promised me... You promised me... You said... You promised.... You'd never leave me alone.... Usotsuki.... USOTSUKI!' Junjou was vaguely aware that she had been set down. She could feel someone warm hugging her.
"Junjou.... Onegai, snap out of it! Junjou!"
'Ah... Chuin...' To Junjou, his voice seemed faint and far-away, "Oniichan..." She murmured before she lost all sense of herself.
~¤~
Junjou sat against the wall of her home, staring blankly into space.
"Usotsuki...." Insanity glazed over her eyes, the once passionate orbs burned dull and dead. Junjou laughed a little, she then began to whisper a song in a lost little girl's voice, "Big brother, I wait for you, I wait for you to come back. Big brother won't you please? Take me to catch earth worms.... Everyday I wait for you, wait for you to come back...." Her eyes slid closed as she curled up in the blanket.
"Everyday I wait for you..... Wait for you to come back....."
~¤~
Chuin felt so helpless, Junjou had been in a trance-like state for five days now and food was running short. He lifted Junjou up into an upright position with her head and back resting against his chest. He set the bowl of soup in her lap. He took his right hand and tipped her head back so it was resting in his palm. He used his left hand to part her lips before reaching for the bowl. With one hand he carefully let some of the warm liquid slide into her mouth. He paused, closed her mouth, and waited for her to swallow. He repeated this until the bowl was drained of it's contents. Junjou's eyes opened, but they were blank and unseeing as always.
"Onegai, wake up, Junjou." Chuin whispered.
~¤~
Junjou hear her name called in the distance.
''Niichan... Iie... It's not true... You took care of me... Even though you didn't need you, you did... 'Niichan... 'Niichan...'
"Onegai, wake up, Junjou." Who was calling her? Someone..... Someone important was calling her, but who...? A name bubble up in her confused mind.
Chuin
She hung onto that name, that thought. She had to clear her mind, she had to wake up.
~¤~
"C-chuin...?" Chuin jumped at the soft whisper.
"Junjou! I was worried about you!" Chuin sighed in relief.
"Doushite...?" Junjou asked.
"Huh?"
"Why...? Why did you stay...?" Junjou asked.
"Um... Well... I don't know, just because I wanted to, I guess." Chuin shrugged. He had never thought about why he had stayed. He just stayed because it was the right thing to do, "You would have died or something."
"Well, now that I'm better, will you leave?" Junjou asked.
"No." Chuin replied as he picked up the bowl and stood up.
"Why? You have no reason to stay." Junjou looked confused.
"Well, I owe you a debt that I'm gonna pay. You saved my life, I saved yours and now I'm doing extra." Chuin grinned at Junjou.
"Extra?" Junjou asked.
"Yep, I'm gonna stick with you. I have nowhere else to go anyway." Chuin frowned thoughtfully, "Why are you so unhappy about this?"
"I'm not unhappy... It's just everyone that cared for me has left me all alone." Junjou sniffed, "My mother, my father, my otouto, my sister, and now 'niichan."
"Wait, you had two brothers?" Chuin asked.
"No, my otouto drowned a few summers ago and before that our parents abandoned us at 'niichan's. I think they did care about us, they gave us to 'niichan knowing he wouldn't just leave us on the streets to die. 'niichan loved us very much. He was very poor but he raised both of us." Junjou looked up at Chuin with a tearful gaze, her eyes burning with life once again, "You won't leave?"
"I won't leave." Chuin assured her.
Turn Two:
Danger Unmasked
A twenty one-year-old Chuin ducked into his house. He had a willowy build and only slightly tanned skin. His hair was only slightly longer then it had been nine years ago and was only to his mid-waist.
"Junj-" He stopped himself when he saw the house was empty. Chuin mentally smacked himself for being so forgetful. He had forgotten that he was supposed to meet Junjou at the lake that day, and now he would be late! He was going to get an earful from Junjou. He hastily ran out and slammed the door behind him, rushing to the lake as fast as his legs would carry him.
~¤~
A nineteen-year-old Junjou paced by the lake, her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face. Her skin was still as pale as ever and her build was quite slender, she had matured into a fine, beautiful young lady.
"That Chuin! Chuin no baka! He never remembers a thing, that stupid, airheaded-" Junjou stopped when she saw Chuin rushing up to her.
"G-gomen nasai, Junjou!" Chuin smiled nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"What's your excuse this time, Chuin?" Junjou growled.
"Anou.... Gomen ne, I forgot...." Chuin shuffled his feet and let his gaze drop to the ground. Junjou let out a long sigh.
"Honestly, you never change." Junjou looked at the ground as well.
"....." Chuin waited for Junjou to begin yelling at his irresponsibility. To his surprise, when Junjou looked up again she was grinning.
"And I don't ever want you to, understand?" She ordered in the most serious voice she could muster, Chuin let out a relieved sigh.
"You had me scared for a moment there, Junjou." Chuin frowned.
"Me? Scare you? That'll be the day...." Junjou's joking attitude dissipated when she noted how serious Chuin was, "Chuin, what's wrong?"
"Well.... Yesterday, I was taking a bath and I let me thoughts wander. My thoughts somehow managed to land on Kutou's attack on the village so close to ours. I was getting angry at the way they so brutally murdered everyone in the village, including Fukanou..." At this thought, Chuin clenched his fists in anger. Fukanou had been very kind to them since Junjou's oniichan died. He had taken care of them for the four years that followed his death and after that stayed in touch as a close friend when he had no obligation to. He had been visiting his mother in that neighboring village when Kutou attacked for no good reason. It was a small, out-of-the way village housing the elderly.
"Yes... I guess I have a gift, I lose everyone who's close to me..." Junjou looked down again, fighting back tears.
"Hey!" Chuin snapped, "I'm still here, and I won't ever leave, even if you want me to." Chuin grinned, "Anyway, let me finish. I noticed this mark on my skin," 'course I'll be crazy to say where, "it was glowing blue and it looked like this." Chuin bent down and drew it in the sand.
"Well... I can't read it...." Junjou shrugged.
"Yeah, neither can I. We'll have to ask someone." Chuin shrugged too.
"It's 'ti', root. It mark of a Seiryuu shichi seishi, Tomo to be exact." A female voice called. Both Chuin and Junjou looked up. A girl about their age was perched on the lowest branch of a tree before them. She had long ebony hair that reach her waist, the wind combed through it making it twirl around her and her eyes were a golden shade. The girl leapt from her perch and landed on the ground gracefully, they could now see that she was only slightly taller than Junjou and a bit smaller than Chuin.
"Who are you?" Junjou asked.
"My name's Yuugiri, I'm from Konan..... Well, actually, no. I don't have a permanent home, so let's just say I came from Konan." Yuugiri walked over to them.
"Well, what do you want with us?" Chuin asked.
"The attack on that village just up the mountain. You were the cause of it." Yuugiri stated flatly.
"What?!" Chuin asked, shocked.
"I overheard a handful of generals talking. They said something along the lines of looking for the Seiryuu seishi rumored to be around here. I have been looking for you since then, Tomo." Yuugiri smirked.
"Stop calling me that! My name is Chuin!"
At this, Yuugiri quirked an eyebrow, "No family name?" Junjou shook her head.
"We're both orphans. We met when we were ten and..... I'm Junjou."
"As I said, I'm Yuugiri, no family name either. I just woke up one day when I was twelve, no recollection of anything I did before that day. No knowledge whatsoever, no memories of family, friends, nothing. Nothing except the name 'Yuugiri', it might not even be my own name, but I don't care. Still don't remember, but in the past seven years I've made memories to fill in the voids." Yuugiri looked at Chuin with a grim expression, "Come on, we have to get you out of here."
"Why?" Junjou asked, stepping between them protectively.
"If Kutou's going out of the way just to find him, it's best if he's not found." Yuugiri scowled at Junjou.
"If they destroyed that village to look for me, then wouldn't it be better if I just went with them? No one else would get hurt." Chuin reasoned.
"Look! If you stay, they will catch you, and I don't know what they'll do to you. As for Junjou.... If they catch her to ensure you come quietly, she'll most likely end up as one of the emperor's playthings. It's best if you come with me." Yuugiri narrowed her eyes. She had to make them understand!
"....Chuin, I'm frightened...." Junjou whispered.
"Don't be. I'm here, and I'll always be here." Chuin assured her.
"You may always be there, but will you always be able to protect her?" Yuugiri pointed out.
"...." Chuin remained silent.
"So I can't go with them, but I can't leave with you either.... I guess we'll have to stay here...." Chuin sighed.
"What?" Yuugiri asked.
"We'll stay here and protect these villagers. No more blood can be shed on my behalf!" Chuin's soft, warm eyes landed on Junjou, he gave her a small smile, "I may not always be able to protect you, but as long as this body breathes, I shall be at your side."
"I trust you....Chuin-sama."
Turn Three:
Crimson Blood
"Chuin-san! Junjou-san! Yuugiri-san!" A small boy called as he ran down the street.
"Huh?" Yuugiri opened the door.
"They're here! Kirei and I saw them! Men on horses! Lots!" The boy cried excitedly.
"Oh Seiryuu..." Junjou bent down to the boy's level, "And what's your name, shounen-kun?"
"Aisoku." Aisoku replied.
"Well, Aisoku, I want you and Kirei to go home and not come out, okay? I don't want you getting hurt." Junjou ordered sternly.
"Hai, Junjou-san!" Aisoku bowed clumsily and ran off to find Kirei. Junjou turned back to the house.
"Chuin-sama!" She called.
"Junjou, what is with you and calling me 'Chuin-sama'?" Chuin asked.
"Huh? Well, you are our leader, aren't you?" Junjou asked innocently, batting her eyelashes.
"Well stop it, it's to formal for friends who have known each other as long as we have." Chuin complained.
"Alright.... Chuin-sama." Junjou giggled.
"Quit teasing me!" Chuin managed to cry out before chuckling as well, "So, what did you call me for?"
"Oh yeah! Chuin! Kutou soldiers on the way!" Junjou's heart began to race once more.
"Great. Yuugiri! It's time!" Somewhere in the dark corner of the room Yuugiri whooped excitedly.
"Alright! Battle time!" Yuugiri ran out to meet them, a pair of daggers in hand, bow and arrows strapped to her back. Chuin drew a silver sword from it's sheath by his side. It had been Fukanou's, Junjou had found it and given it to Chuin. Junjou herself wielded two Chinese butchering knives, the sheer width and thickness of the blade made her look deadly. The odd bunch grinned at one another and rushed to meet the Kutou forced.
~¤~
The deadly game of war began almost at once. Yuugiri expertly took out five soldiers with well aimed arrows.
"There are twenty Kutou soldiers, and only three of us!" Chuin shouted, "The odds are against us!"
"More fun this way!" Yuugiri called as she fired another arrow. No more conversation was exchanged for the rest of the battle. As the soldiers neared Yuugiri dropped her bow and arrows and drew her daggers, Chuin unsheathed his sword, and Junjou lifted her knives up. And so the battle to protect the innocent began.
~¤~
Yuugiri fought mercilessly, as if she had done it all her life, as if she were immune to the effects of war and death. Junjou allowed herself to be cornered, attacking only those who were attacking her. Chuin on the other hand... With every slash of his sword, his eyes became a bit harder, his soul a little harsher, and his heart a little colder.
~¤~
"We won!" Yuugiri shouted happily as the last Kutou warrior fell. She winced slightly and clamped a hand over the rather nasty gash just under her shoulder.
"We....won?" Junjou asked, eyeing the destruction around her. Junjou leaned against a large rock, her leg was most likely broken.
"We actually pulled it off! We won, we won the battle!" Yuugiri grinned, "And we're all alive!"
"If this is victory.... What a bitter victory." Junjou sighed.
"Victory is always bitter to those who have never been in a war." Yuugiri shrugged.
"..." Chuin wiped the last of the blood from his sword and sheathed it. He turned around and began heading back to the village.
"Chuin?" Junjou asked. Chuin turned his head around and his gaze met hers for a moment. Junjou flinched, Chuin's soft eyes had turned to steel.
Turn Four:
New Hope
"Chuin?" Junjou asked again, timidly.
"What?" Chuin asked back, coolly, his cold facade didn't even flicker.
"You're acting strange." Junjou accused.
"I am acting as I normally do. Do not accuse me of anything." Chuin replied coldly.
"Chuin..." Junjou whispered, hurt, "How can you kill so easily? Both of you? How can you take someone's life without a thought? How can you take a mother's most precious gift to her child and crush it without looking back?"
"You get used to it, they would have done the same to us and everyone in the village had we not fought back." Yuugiri shrugged, "Better them than us." Chuin just clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms and his knuckles turning white. He just kept walking.
"It feels like suck a cruel and heartless act. I bet most of those warriors didn't even come willingly. I bet Kutou's emperor made them come." Junjou replied sadly.
Chuin exploded, "Don't you think we know that? Don't you think we thought of that too? Every time my sword came down, I wondered if I had just condemned a child to our fate. I wondered if he had family that would mourn him, and I wondered if he had no one to remember him. I wondered if he had a wife, children. I wondered how many other lives would be crushed from a single thrust of my sword." Chuin held his sword out before him, looking at it as if it were something foreign. "So, damnit Junjou, just shut up." Junjou looked a bit shocked.
"G-" Whatever Junjou was about to say was lost as a shrill scream reached their ears. It came from within the village.
"Kirei!" Aisoku's voice cried.
"Seiryuu seishi, come here now or I shall be forced to permanently silence this girl!" a male voice shouted.
"K'so! One of them got past us!" Chuin cursed.
"Kirei! He has Aisoku's sister!" Junjou cried, "I can't believe someone would do this to innocent children!"
"A cowards way out." Yuugiri snorted grimly.
"All was for nothing..." Junjou whispered, "We'll have to go with them anyway...."
"We killed for nothing." Chuin shrugged, "I may as well get used to it."
"Nani?" Junjou asked.
"I understand what he means." Yuugiri commented.
"Let's go."
~¤~
The three rushed back in the village. Kirei was being held up by her neck, she was thrashing for all she was worth, with no avail.
"G-gomen nasai, Junjou-san..." a tearful Aisoku sniffed, "I tried to hide, I really did...."
"It's alright." Junjou turned to the soldier. He was slightly taller than Chuin with shoulder-length midnight hair. He was well-built with a bronze complexion, his eyes were bronze, almost copper. "Let Kirei go, we'll come with you." Junjou sighed.
"Which one of you is the Seiryuu seishi?" the man asked.
"I am." Yuugiri stepped up, she turned her head back at her two surprised companions and winked.
"Come with me." the man commanded.
"Iie!" Kirei shouted, thrashing again. She accidentally rammed her heel into his stomach.
"Itai!" The man hissed as he released Kirei and fell over. Chuin ran over, his sword raised, and slashed at the soldier blindly. Blood splattered on the ground as the man cried out in pain. It was then Junjou calmly walked over and hit the soldier on head with the flat side of her knife, rendering the man unconscious.
"What do you think you were doing?" Junjou asked angrily.
"I..." Chuin shrugged.
"You could have killed him!" Junjou scowled and slapped him, hard. Chuin stepped back, shocked. He lightly touched the spot where she had slapped him, wincing.
"Come on, help me get him inside." Yuugiri called. Chuin walked over and helped Yuugiri lift the man and take him into Junjou's house.
"....now I have to feed three of them?" Junjou let out an exasperated sigh and followed them in.
~¤~
For the next few days, Chuin and Yuugiri worked harder than ever, trying to feed a 'family' of four while Junjou kept an eye on the boy. They had to bandage the left side of his head, Chuin's blade had caught him right across his left eye and the wound ran down his cheek. Yuugiri noticed that Junjou seemed quite taken by him. Finally, four days after they brought him in, the man awoke.
"N-nani...?" He asked, "I am.... Alive?"
"Yes." Junjou whispered softly.
"My head hurts..." The man groaned, "Doushite, demo doushite? Why am I still alive?"
"I...we saved you." Junjou replied.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Junjou."
"My name is Suimitsu Seijun, but please call me Chouka."
"Chouka?"
"Yes," Chouka nodded, "it is a childhood nickname my imouto gave me. Oh Seiryuu... Muzai... Junjou, how long have I been here?"
"Five days." Junjou replied.
"Kuso!" Chouka cursed, "Kutou... It's too late... Junjou-san, forgive me for my attack. That girl, Kirei, was she hurt?"
"Iie."
"Good... I guess I owe you an explanation, don't I?" Chouka asked.
"You don't owe me anything, but it would make me happy if you told." Junjou flashed him one of her soft smiles.
"My imouto, Muzai, I lost her in a flash flood six years ago, when I was fifteen, she was twelve. A few weeks ago, Kutou said they had my sister, and that they would kill her if I didn't bring them this seishi. I could not bear to loose her! Not again!" Tears welled up in Chouka's right eye, "I guess I was acting wrongly. I attacked another's sister, when it was my own I wanted saved. It is too late now. They more than likely have killed her."
"Chouka..." Junjou gave him a tight hug, "Well... I lost my brother in a small flood, the river had overflowed and he fell in, so I know a little of how you feel. I forgive you, but now you have to seek the forgiveness of the others."
"I know. My eye, what happened?" Chouka asked.
"Gomen nasai, Chuin wounded it and... I am not very good with healing. I hope it heals right." Junjou looked very apologetic.
"Come, let us go find your comrades."
~¤~
They found Yuugiri and Chuin talking by the river.
"Excuse me." Chouka's deep voice rung, Chuin and Yuugiri jumped.
"Oh, hi! I see you're feeling better!" Yuugiri smiled brightly. It was clear that Chouka quickly warmed up to her.
"Hello, yes, I am feeling much better, thank you for you kindness." Chouka nodded slightly before getting down on one knee, "Please, forgive me for attacking you all." Chuin and Yuugiri were both mildly shocked.
"Um..." Yuugiri bent down and looked Chouka in the face, "It's okay! No one was hurt so it okay, right Chuin?" Chuin merely nodded.
"See?" Yuugiri grinned broadly at Chouka, Chuin nodded slightly again.
"Anou... Arigatou gosaimasu." Chouka got up again, "I am Suimitsu Seijun, please call me Chouka."
"Chouka." Yuugiri repeated, "Pleased to meet you, Chouka! My name is Yuugiri!" Chouka snapped to attention.
"Nani? Yuugiri...?" Chouka asked, "Iie.. Never mind..."
"Yes, my name is Yuugiri." Yuugiri looked puzzled.
"Nothing, it is just Yuugiri was a popular girls name in my village until it was destroyed by a flood. There's nothing left of it now... It has become a giant tomb..." Chouka sighed.
"Chuin." Chuin said shortly, "Gomen about your eye."
"It is okay." Chouka looked at them all, "Now that Kutou has no more hold over me, I would like to join you, if I am not intruding, that is."
"Um... Sure you can!" Junjou smiled, "We would love to have you."
"Them we must leave at once. Now that Kutou knows who you are, they will follow you. They will not destroy any villages unless you are in them. It is best if we disappear. If you go with Kutou, they will summon Seiryuu and destroy the rest of this world and throw all survivors into despair." Chouka told them grimly.
"I understand." Chuin sighed, he nodded to Junjou.
"Yeah, we'll begin packing at once." Yuugiri stated.
"There's almost nothing to pack..." Junjou muttered.
Part one of the trilogy, Tenshi no Bunkiten, Owari
