"WITH GREAT HONOR I PRESENT TO YOU HIMARU KEIKO!"
The lights went out and everyone gasped. Kusanagi, Momiji, Koume, Yaegashi, and Leis all sat in a box seat above the concert. Kusanagi had called up his old friend to secretly reunite the two of them after the concert. Keiko had been happy top hear from him and invited him to watch the show in a box seat.
The crowd awaited something to happen in the darkness thinking it was a blackout. But a sweet voice started singing.
A soft touch
Beneath the night sky
A whisper of breath
Slides against my skin
A warmth to hold
All through the night
How I love
To hold you tight
You are my past
My present
My future
My end of time
You hold power within
A place of sweet memory
That I visit often
For you were gone
Never to be seen
How I loved you
And you left me
Crying in the tears
From the heaven above
Leaving me
To die
Oh my silver angel
With your silver wings wide
Come back to me
And soar through the skies
With me by your side
Kusanagi stared in shock at the words in the song. Momiji didn't noticed but it seemed as if it were talking about Leis, her silver angel. Kusanagi looked over at Leis who wouldn't break hold of her. He would not, could not, look away from the woman he loved. Momiji's fingers entwined with his and he lifted them to his lips and whispered for her to look upon Leis and Keiko. She looked and saw with her silver vision or dreams that the connection was powerful but Keiko didn't realize that Leis was here and listening to her songs.

Keiko took a swig of her bottle of water and wiped her brow with a towel. She headed back towards her dressing room after a show well done. She was looking forwards to seeing Kusanagi again and meeting his well girlfriend. She stepped into the room and told the guards to stay outside while her friends visited.
She saw Kusanagi sitting on the couch, hands folded with a girl who looked remarkably like Kaede her once upon a time best friend. She almost cried at the thought of her.
"Kusanagi! It's great to see you again." She hugged him and his girlfriend stood.
"You must be Momiji?" She asked and the girl nodded.
"You know you look a lot like someone I once knew." And Momiji laughed.
"Maybe that's because she was my twin sister." And Keiko's eyes went wide.
"You are her… twin? The Kushinada?" And Momiji smiled sadly.
"I am, and I understand that you two were once great friends." Momiji saw tears being brought to the woman's eyes. She was somewhat older but not by much. She was also beautiful and it came with a wonderful voice.
"Keiko, what of your song. The first one. Your silver angel?" He asked and noticed the glance in her eyes.
"Kusanagi you know very well what that song is, it's become my fame. My… future."
"No one knows who your silver angel really is. Only the three of us. To the world it's just another song. But to us and one more it's the world." Momiji smiled sadly and added on, "So tell me. Do I know your silver angel or don't I?"
Keiko looked up she felt something but she didn't know what, "I don't suppose you know him."
"Oh? Then tell me who he is." Momiji smiled at the girl who nodded sadly.
"My silver angel is…" and he walked in just as soon as she said it and she gasped and dropped the cup of tea she had been serving, "LEIS!" Momiji and Kusanagi walked silently out of the room assuring the guard that the broken glass heard was not to worry about.
He stepped towards her. His wings out and unfolded. She froze not knowing how to react with seeing her friend, her angel, her love reappear in front of her. He looked at her face and searched her heart that leapt in her eyes.
She walked towards him as if it were a dream. She touched the silky feathers on his wing and the tears unshed dripped down her face in a slow silver waterfall of sadness.
She had waited for him for hours and then realized that he wasn't coming for her that he didn't love her…"he didn't love… me." She said to the wings that wrapped around her.
"I loved you then Keiko and I love you now." He whispered in his mind and somehow she heard it through her mind. She looked up at him and he placed his thumbs under her tears and kissed them till they showed no wetness at all.
But after a moment or two passed the silver glow faded and Keiko got mad she took up a pillow from the couch and his wings disappeared. He didn't expect the blow coming but felt it full force.
"You jerk! Why did you leave me there. I broke off a marriage that would have made my parents happy! I hated you for leaving me there." She was smacking him constantly but he just stood and let her hit him.
When she was through she stood with her fists clenched and fury in her eyes as she glared at the man she loved. He looked away when she asked why.
"Answer me damnit!" She gripped his shirt and demanded an answer.
"My wings were clipped for three decades for you and three years for me." He said slowly. Keiko didn't understand.
"What the hell do you mean clipped?"
"My powers were taken away, I was given a pool of reflection for years as punishment to look at you but not have you. I was to see you but not hear you, I was to not touch you and not see you ever again, or relive my most cherished memories." He fell to the couch in despair and placed his head in his hands.
"I wait for you for hours, and yet days. I wanted so badly to believe you were coming back, but you never did." She sobbed with anger.
He held out awaiting arms and lifted his tear stricken eyes to her. The cold blue ones that she thought she would never see again. She fell into his arms and cried, "I thought you did not love me."
"I will never stop loving you Keiko, ever. I don't care what my lord says he is wrong to defy love when he is the one who cherishes it."
"You answer to a higher power Leis?" She asked with understanding, "And he was the one to clip your wings."
He nodded and kissed her forehead. "I love you Keiko and nothing he does will change that. Ever."
Keiko leaned her lips up to his to receive his kiss fully and as she descended she whispered an answer, "I love you Leis, you will always be my silver angel."
When their lips touched a bright light came upon them and they were both engulfed into it. Keiko yelled as if something were tearing at her back. Leis held her and cried to her to help but she wouldn't answer.
The bright light faded and Momiji and Kusanagi rushed in. "What the hell?" Kusanagi whispered. They saw the two together at last but there were wings everywhere. Kusanagi and Momiji couldn't find the length or end of the span of the wings. There were silver pulses and feathers everywhere.
Keiko looked upon her love and smiled. "I know what has befallen me." She said and a wing twitched.
Leis was utterly confused. He didn't understand what transformation had taken place. All of a sudden another bright light appeared and another Silver Angel had joined their sides.
"Guniper." Leis said looking at his higher power.
"Well this is interesting." He smiled and Leis wrapped his wings around Keiko and hers.
"You cannot take us a part this time! I will not allow it."
Kusanagi wondered who this man was and noticed that he looked a lot like Leis.
"Do not worry. You and Keiko will remain together forever." He said and walked closer.
"But… she's… there's never been a female silver angel." Leis said.
"So? There's always a first for everything."
"Why didn't you let us be together before this!" She asked him.
"You hadn't kissed before this… do you see what would have happened if you had married? I'm sure that your parents would have loved to see your transformation Keiko." He laughed at the thought of their faces.
"Well what now? I don't see the other Silver Angels quite often so does that mean that Keiko and I will be separated?" He asked and glanced down at the woman he loved.
"No. She will be your queen, young prince." He said and smiled at Keiko's shock.
"Wait a minute. Leis… you're a prince!" She said grabbing his shirt and he nodded.
"Yes. King Guniper is my father." He said looking at the man and Kusanagi knew that he was right with the familiar appearances.
"If they become the king and queen of time… then what happens to you?" Momiji butted in.
"Ah... Kushinada. You will become a great silver angel one day. But to answer your question… I will pass off and begin a new life in a new form." He nodded at her shocked look.
"So your recycled?" Kusanagi said with a laugh.
"Well… yes I guess so. But then again everyone is. But I wouldn't laugh Mamoru if you had known what your were recycled from." With that he looked up at the sky and told them all goodbye and then faded out laughing.
Momiji laughed at Kusanagi's glare. "You are so very cute when you're angry." She said and smiled. Kusanagi leaned his brow against her head and stood up dragging Momiji out of the room so that Keiko and Leis could be alone.
