Chapter 5

"Why did you do that for?" Kaede stared at Akira, narrowing his beautiful cobalt eyes.

"You've got spaghetti on the corners of your mouth." Akira grinned innocently.

[A/N: Innocent? Innocent?!]

However, Kaede's expression darkened, and he put down his cutlery and walked away towards the door. Akira gawked at his back, bewildered. "What's wrong, Kaede?" He chased after him.

"Get lost. I'm going back to Eternalia."

"But you are injured!"

"No I'm not." Kaede pulled himself away from Akira and headed for the door. He went out into the garden, and spread out his wings again. Akira thought the wings looked beautiful, but panic seized him, "Kaede! Don't leave!"

"Thanks for saving me, anyway, but I must go." Kaede shook his head.

"Wait! Your…"

"I must go."

"Your gown's torn."

Kaede looked at himself, and true enough, the hem and sleeves are all tattered.

[A/N: Not in the important parts though…aww…]

 "Why don't you get some fresh clothes here?" Akira tried desperately to stop the beautiful angel from leaving.

"My tailors will take care of that." Kaede closed his eyes, lifted his wings, and flew off.

And he disappeared into the clouds.

Akira sat on the grass patch in a daze. Like a wind he came (fell) and like the wind he went. A breathtaking vision of beauty, flashing by in his lonely life. Will I ever see him again?

Kaede drifted around in the clouds, his mind in a whirl.

I have to get away from this man. I can't afford to fall in love.

Yet what was that electrifying feeling when he wiped that bit of spaghetti off his face?

I'm an angel. He's a mortal. We are forbidden to love.

But what does that thrilling kiss mean?

It's just like the world crumbling into pieces, and there's nothing else left in the world except him and I… Stars bursting and clouds flying…

Is it the sensations of love?

Will I ever see him again?

"Your highness, Princess Kaede! You are back!" Ayako, the Senior Minister of Internal affairs, ran up to the descending Princess. "Oh my god, SOMEBODY get a cloak! My lady, what happened to your gown? It's so torn and frayed." Ayako fussed over Kaede. She had looked after Kaede ever since he was a baby and he was just like a baby sister (^__^) to her.

"Got struck by lightning." Kaede replied wearily, allowing the maids to put the thick cloak around him.

"You should not have gone off by yourself like that! Come, you must take a good bath and change into fresh clothes."

Kaede permitted himself to be fussed over as he retreated to the comforts of his chambers.

Anything to take Akira off my mind…
