Author's Notes: Sorry people, I've been under a case of writers block lately… and it's not very fun (all writers can agree with that). So… this chapter might not be all it can be… sorry. Thank you Susan for proofreading the first chapter for me!

Chapter 19

~*~*~*~*~*

The Narks' world was a beautiful one, until you got to the slums of the city, where Omochi hid his messiah in the safety of a small Darkness Temple that was way out dated from everything else that was with the Temple. But it thought she would like to wake up in a peaceful place, even if it wasn't very clean.

Unfortunately, the creature didn't know why it decided to do so. Following Mita's orders was all it knew really, but… after seeing they she was in the world above—even trying to except Robin though she was trying to bring this version out—it just made its mind hurt just thinking about it!

It was all a mystery to it—for nothing made any sense from the fact that it still did it! Talk about disobeying orders… and now it was even leading its messiah's friends to her… which including the one other person other then Mita it looked up to. Can your thoughts drive you insane? If so, Omochi should have been in a Mental Institute years ago.

"She's in here." It opened the door and led everyone inside, to find Kaoru sitting up, her feet dangling off the edge of the altar she had been laid down on.

"Kaoru!" Kenshin was with her an in instance, hugging her as she slowly did so in return. Her energy wasn't all back yet. Kenshin noticed her lack of energy, and turned towards Omochi with amber eyes. "What's—"

"Blood loss, Mita drank from her neck, and she lost the energy he took from him. He just gained it as power, and turned young again."

"I couldn't fight him off—it was like I couldn't move, think, or even breathe! I just couldn't…" Kaoru said softly, hugging Kenshin closer to her as if trying to hide from the sound of her own failure.

"Shhh…" Kenshin said, as if talking to a baby. Trying to make her feel better any way he could.

"What are we going to do now?" Tsuki asked quietly to Misaho, as to not let Omochi hear what she was saying. The creature had switched sides to quickly.

"We can still go with our original plain."

"But the younger Mita will be harder to beat."

"I know, but we will just have to see…"

"Omochi, what made you change sides?" Tisha said, opening the subject of conversation on his old friend.

"I don't know," was the reply. "I just don't understand anything anymore when it comes to what Mita wants—let alone what I want as well. So it's a stupid question."

Back in the world above, Yahiko and Tsubame waited outside the portal to the world below, bored but on their guard. Yahiko didn't know why he said he would stay behind. Was it because she was staying here? That he wanted to protect her by staying in the place she was? By her side forever?

"What is it Yahiko-kun?" Tsubame asked, looking up to see him staring at her intensely.

"Oh, nothing," he looked away with a blush as she smiled sweetly.

"Are you thinking about why you decided to stay behind?"

"Um… yeah…"

"Not me, cause I know this world, and I want to stay here and protect it, where I know I will do something."

"But you can do that on the front line as well."

"Hai, but, that is in the world below, the world above…is the place I know, thus, I'm protecting on the front line of this world—which is just as important as everyone else who is the front line in the world below."

"Only blood will being her energy back," Omochi said, not hazed by the looks everyone was sending it. "But only a certain kind of blood will bring her back to full strength and be able to join you in your battle."

"And what kind would that be," Kaoru asked, looking at Omochi like it was fascinating to her—which it was. This creature was different from the rest and it would be pointless to not examine and see into the mind of a something new to you.

"An angel's."

"And where do we find an angel?" asked someone sarcastically.

"Right here."

AN: A good cliff hanger, maybe this will help stop my writers block… though, I think it should in the part between Yahiko and Tsubame… but, oh well, lets all hope the block goes away soon and I can update faster (though, it didn't stop me from this one, but it did still show). And Omochi, what else can it be but an angel?

Susan: Her parents, well…they are good, but you will just have to see.

TigerWolf: Yeah, there's a case of OOCness in this story, like that. But thank you, I never really thought it could be changed to an original, maybe after a few changes, but who knows.

madphilie: I had to get rid of some of the characters, so what better way then to kill them off, even if it's a character based on your self. And I like my name; I like sharing the name of a bird (except for a certain hero…)

omochi: I don't know what it smells like either, but her dad was once all burned up, you'll see when they come around again.

Jay: Yeah that happens with strange metaphors, so it can happen. And her parents, well, the Darkness has to be 'evil,' so what better way for him to be so then to make him one of Kenshin's enemies play the role of the Darkness?

Thank you for reviewing, and pray the next chapter comes quickly, it's hard when you've run out of ideas for your own story.
