AN: Well, me updates. :p
Chapter Five: Kage
The car ride was uneventful.
Chiaki had discreetly released Access, who had flown off to look for demons. Really, why was he following the tiny kuroitenshi's instructions? It was getting harder to sneak by Michael at night to become Sinbad.
His eyes shifted to his side. Kusakabe Maron was nearly glued to the window, as she watched the scenery flash by. Her brown hair fell neatly over her shoulder, obscuring any reflection of her expression Chiaki might have seen. In the seat behind him, he could hear her two friends quarreling.
"-demo Toudaiji-san, we agreed-"
"Hush, linchou! Maron is happy, and that's all that matters!"
"Demo."
He tuned them out, returning to the subject he had been thinking of before.
It had been nearly seven months that he'd known the tiny being that called himself Access Time. And for about six months of that time, he had been playing the role of Kaitou Sinbad, the supposed thief who stole beautiful things.
In reality, he sealed demons. He didn't understand it himself, but the first time he had done it.it was obvious that something more powerful than simple thievery was going on. He sealed the demons in the paintings; it was just an unfortunate side effect that the object happened to disappear.
He felt lost, sometimes. Despite Access's speeches about demons and God and the Devil, and how a certain someone must be protected, he didn't get it. He just followed the angel's instructions. Not thinking about it helped him sleep better at night, if he slept at all.
Besides, just whom was he protecting by doing this? Access wouldn't say, and he certainly didn't know. It was just one of the mysteries of being a Kaitou.
Someone to protect.an image of golden hair and pure lavender eyes danced at him at the corner of his mind. He tried to grasp the thought, but it kept slipping away. Who.?
"Nagoya-san!" His name startled him out of his reverie. He looked to the side, blinking.
Maron looked at him expectantly. She had asked something, and he had no clue just what she asked. For a moment she had looked totally different. The sun was at such and angle that it flowed into the window behind her, lighting up her hair. For a moment she had golden hair, and her eyes-
"I asked when are we going to there. We've been driving for a while, and I was wondering." She trailed off, mouth open slightly, and her eyes widened, focused on something behind him.
He looked behind him, to see Access desperately clinging to the window, eyes swirly. Apparently the small kuroitenshi had spent all his energy trying to catch up to the car. However, when Access focused his eyes inside the car, he looked past Chiaki and saw Maron. The angel's eyes widened, and he leapt off the car, and flew off as fast as he could.
Chiaki turned back to Maron, and she looked at him, shocked. He felt very nervous, all of a sudden.
"That was." She breathed, eyes turned back to the small dot in the sky that was Access.
"An angel."
Chiaki was shocked. She had seen Access, despite the fact that no one else, not even the Sisters, could seen him. Something was different about Maron, much like something was different with himself.
He cursed quietly under his breath. A certain kuroitenshi had a lot to explain later. But as he watched her, her face still shocked, he had an uneasy feeling that his whole life was just going to get worse from now on.
