Prologue
"Hayuku, Sayumi, hashiru. Hayuku before they come." He looked around to make sure 'they' were not here yet.
Sayumi looked at him frantically," But, Kaira how about you? I don't want to abandon you here."
"Come on, Yumi-chan, leave before they find you."
Sayumi's eyes started to water. "But I don't want to leave you all alone here. Go with me. Who knows what they would do to you?"
Kaira resassured her," I'll be fine. Just go, ok?"
Sayumi shook her head. "I'm not leaving unless you are going with me." She wiped the tears that are streaming down her cheek. "All this time, I never liked anyone and was always alone but now I have you and you want me to leave you. How could I do that?"
Kaira hugged her and rested his chin on her head. "Yumi-chan, I'm doing this for you. Please, just listen to me. Go before they arrive and catch you." He looked down at her. "I'll always love you, remember that."
He bent down and kissed her on the lips. He bolted upright when he thought he heard a sound. "They are coming, Yumi-chan. Hayuku, go to the 2nd version of Earth that Kami-sama has created. GO NOW!!"
Sayumi shook her head again and took his hands. "I won't leave you alone here. I want to be with you no matter what happens."
She hugged him and rested her head on his chest. "Aishitte."
Tears threatened to drip down his cheeks. Kaira kissed her on the head and whispered," I love you too.forever." Kaira wiped her tears away and brushed his lip across her cheek.
He murmured," I'll go with you ok?"
Sayumi looked up, smiling at him and nodded. Kaira smiled and let go of her, thinking, /Gomen, Yumi-chan/ Kaira pressed a few buttons and looked up at the screen to see that it was asking for a password. As he was always with Kami-sama and was His most trusting angel, he knew so many things that nobody else besides Kami-sama knew. He typed the password and the word 'CORRECT' appeared. Kaira grinned when the vortex slowly came in full view.
Sayumi walked over to him and hugged him again. In the background, Kaira heard the sounds approaching nearer and nearer them and his heart fell. He really planned to go with her but now it seemed almost impossible. He stared at her walking nearer and nearer to the vortex. Continuing his play, he walked towards it slowly and with every step he took, the approaching sounds became louder and louder.
She gave him a desperate look to urge him to walk faster. Then she realized the truth as she recalled what he had said before to her.
~Flashback~
She was leaning back on him and looked up at him to receive a kiss from him.
Then he told her," There's a machine in the Forbidden Room that allows people to be transported to the new planet that Kami-sama has created. Tomorrow we'll go there before He finds out the truth, ok?"
Kami-sama had started to suspect them and they were trying their best to keep their secret. But it looked like the secret was gonna be revealed soon so they had decided to escape as soon as possible.
She nodded in agreement.
He continued as he laid down," If they arrive there before us and when the vortex appears, you'll go in there first before-"
He stopped when he saw her on top of him. She kissed him and laid on top of him with him stroking her hair.
~End of Flashback~
/So he purposely didn't finish the sentence. He never ever thought of leaving with me together. Naze? Naze.Kaira? NAZE?!!/
The vortex was starting to disappear slowly.
She shouted," Kaira!!"
She shouted again and again but in vain. She fell down, crying when she saw all the guards catching him.
Kaira looked at her sadly and mouthed the word 'Aishiteru'. A guard attempted to stop the vortex but to no avail. She was brought to the new version of Earth.
He was later brought to see Kami-sama. The guard pushed him down to kneel. He looked up and saw Kami-sama.
Kami-sama asked wearily," Kaira, you better confess all the secrets you have been keeping from me for so long."
Tears started pouring down his eyes but he did not say a word. He just continued to stare at Him silently.
The guards scowled and ordered," Quick, tell Kami-sama what He wants to know."
Kami-sama held up his hand and said," Yamero. Leave us alone."
The guards hesitated but couldn't do anything except to heed their master's order without a word.
After they left, He spoke," Now, can you speak?"
Kaira looked down, not daring to look at His reaction when he spilled out the secret.
"Ever since you were so busy working with that new version of Earth, I was so lonely. That's when I met Sayumi." Kaira smiled at the memory. "We spent so much time together that love blossomed between the both of us before we realized it."
Kami-sama spoke strictly," You know very well that angels are not supposed to be in love."
Kaira fought back. "I know that very well. But I was so lonely and she was my only friend."
Kami-sama laid His forehead on His hand and said tiredly," You really love her?"
Kaira replied boldly," Yes, more than anything."
"I'm sorry Kaira but there's nothing I can do. You have to be punished for being in love. You shouldn't have fall in love with her. If you didn't, you would still always be by my side."
Kaira responded," There's nothing more I want than loving her. She's my everything."
Kami-sama sighed," Let's not talk about this. Your punishment would be that you'd never ever become an angel again and you'll become a human."
Kaira looked up. "I'll become a human? So..na."
"You should have known that would be your punishment earlier."
Kaira murmured," I have no regrets." He hesitated. "Can you promise me one thing?"
Curious as what it would be, He asked," What is it?"
"Can you promise me not to punish Sayumi and take good care of her?"
Shocked at his request, he considered and then agreed," Yes."
"And one last thing, can you tell me who told you all about this?" He was already suspecting someone but he just wanted to make sure.
"Yagami des. He told me all this and I just wanted to make sure that everything he said was true. And this is the result."
/So it is him. I should have been careful about him. How careless I am./ Tears started to cloud over his eyes.
He thanked," Arigatoo Kami-sama for taking care of me all this while. Arigatoo, arigatoo gozaimasu. Please forgive me." He bowed.
Kami-sama got up from his seat and helped Kaira up.
"Oh, Kaira, you needn't thank me. I too have to thank you for being by my side all along. I'll forgive you of all the mistakes you committed as I love you so, my boy."
Kaira wiped his tears away and said," It is time for me to reincarnate as a human. Please command someone to lead me the path to a new world."
Kami-sama nodded soberly and called a guard to lead him the way.
"Sayonara Kaira, sayonara.."
/When I'm reincarnated, I'll forget about everything in this life of mine as an angel. I'll forget all about Yumi-chan, but I don't want to. I want to save a space for her in my heart forever./
He walked into the spring to cleanse himself then he walked over to the vortex that would lead him to his new life. He stopped and looked around trying to remember every little thing about the place that he had always lived. He walked slowly into the vortex and started crying all over.
~*~
Kami-sama said wearily," Yagami, can you please take care of Sayumi from now on?"
Yagami smiled," Hai, Kami-sama."
Kami-sama sighed," If only he didn't."
Yagami responded," There's nothing you can do, Kami-sama, he was originally a human so of course there are still human feelings inside him."
Kami-sama said angrily," Then, how about that Sayumi?"
Yagami kept quiet, not knowing what to say.
Kami-sama got up and asked," Who's this Sayumi?" As there are so many angels in Tenkai, there's no way Kami-sama can remember all.
"She's a newly appointed angel a couple of weeks ago."
"Oh.well, I better get going with my work now, you can go visit that angel and tell her that she is banished from Tenkai."
Surprised, Yagami asked," But I thought you promised Kaira that you won't punish her."
"I did but there's always punishments for all the angels that fall in love."
He started walking away and then stopped. "Also, you are allowed to visit her anytime you want. You must treat her nicely and never let anything or anybody hurt her."
Yagami agreed and bowed until Kami-sama left the room. Then he headed to the "Restricted Room" and pressed a few buttons. A vortex appeared and he walked in. A few minutes later, he reached the new version of Earth. As Kami-sama hadn't created many things in the new planet, it wasn't hard to find Sayumi.
He started calling out her name. "Sayumi-chan, doko wa?"
There was no response. He called again, this time louder. Then there were sounds of footsteps and he smiled.
Thinking that it was Kaira, she smiled happily but the smile vanished when she saw who was in front of her. She backed away slowly, thinking that he had come to bring her back to Tenkai to be punished.
As if reading her mind, he assured," Kami-sama sent me here to take care of you. Daijobuka?"
Slowly, she replied," .Daijobu.."
Confused that Kami-sama had sent him to take care of her, she asked," Why did Kami-sama sent you down here to take care of me?"
"Kaira had asked Kami-sama to take care of you so Kami-sama sent me on His behalf."
Anxious to know what had happened to her lover, she questioned," Kaira.doko wa? What happened to him? Why is he not here?"
"I'm sorry to bring you the bad news but the fact is that, he's sent down to Earth to be reborn."
There was a pause, then sounds of whimpering and words of disbelief were also heard.
"Sona.." Tears dropped down to the ground. "How can Kami-sama do that to him? He was innocent."
"That was a light punishment he got because Kami-sama like him so much. If it was any other angel, Kami-sama would give them the punishment they should face unlike Kaira."
She looked up angrily at him. "I don't care. I want to see Kami-sama. Bring me to Him."
Yagami bowed. "Gomen nasai demo Kami -sama."
"What is it? Spit it out."
"Kami-sama had banished you from entering Tenkai forever. You are also not an angel anymore. Kami-sama had cancelled your position."
The heartbreaking news hurt her so much. of course the news of her lover reincarnated and that she'd never be able to see her hurt her more. She felt so tired and exhausted that she fainted.
/Kaira, I love you so much.I..I..I can't stand the thought of being apart of you. I love you so./
"KAIRA!!" She screamed when she woke up.
She looked around and saw herself sitting on a nice medium size bed. The wooden shack before was turned into a beautiful and cozy house. /This must be Yagami sempai's work./
Yagami walked over to her when he heard the scream. "Dosano?"
"Nan demo nai.."
He said softly," Try not to think about him so much, Sayumi-chan."
She responded strictly," How can I when I love him more than anything."
He muttered," More than anything..?"
She sighed and laid her forehead on her hand. "Gomen nasai, I shouldn't have spoke to you so strictly."
"Wakata." He looked straight into her eyes and advised," You better get some more sleep."
After few hours, she woke up and walked out, realizing that Yagami had created a garden. She sat on a lawn chair at the patio that he had also created. Sensing someone's existence, she turned around and saw Yagami smiling at her.
"Feeling better?"
She said softly," I guess."
He put his hands over her hands that were on her lap.
He stared intently into her eyes. "If you ever have any problem, tell me and if I'm not by your side and you need me, just call me by tinkling this wind chime I made, ne?"
He took out a wind chime from his pocket and thrust it to her. He watched her touching the wind chime gently, not replying to him. She closed her eyes as she listened to the soft gentle sounds that the wind chime produced.
"I'll hear you tinkling the wind chime wherever I am."
He stroked her hair and smiled when she thanked him softly.
She hugged him and cried softly," Arigatoo, Yagami sempai. You are the only person I'm left with. Please don't leave me. Never.please?"
He caressed her hair slowly and whispered," Of course, I'll never leave you."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
He said this time so softly that she couldn't even hear, "Because I love you more than anything too."
Couldn't hear what he said, she asked," Nani?"
Yagami chuckled," Nan demo nai."
