Darina: Hey, everybody, I'd Darina (as you can see). In this fic, Rei's an angel when something strange happens to him. Don't yell at me, this is my first try for a fiction story. Oh, and Kerda, my assistant will be guiding you through the rest of the chapters.

Kerda: Yup, you're stuck with me (crackles). Well, let's go on with the…thing. Dasha: Fic.

Kerda: thing

Dasha: FICTION

Kerda: WHATEVER. Enjoy while we argue.

~Rei's POV~

I'm not exactly sure what happened yet, cause first minute I'm flying to the Yaten Angel Gathering Festival with Lee and the others, next I'm here…but where's here? Last thing I remember was talking to Myraia on my way to the festival…

    "Hey, hey Rei!!!" a hand waved in front of my face. Earth to Rei!" I snapped out of my thought and turned to Myraia flying next to me. She gave me a sarcastic smile.

    " Sorry, what were you asking again?" I said, still thinking about seeing my cousin, Yura, at the festival. It's been six years since I last saw her and now, I get to spend the week with her. I was too excited to pay attention to anything else.

    " Daydreaming Rei?" Myraia teased. About that girl no doubt, huh?" I let out a long sigh.

    " Myraia, how many times do I have to repeat it, she's my cousin, not my…" I lost the last words for some reason.

     "…Girlfriend?" Kelvin asked from the side, now flying next to us. He gave me a sheepish grin. Somehow, his commend didn't surprise me. Why not? If anybody else knew Kelvin as long as I did, they'd get used to his teasing and trouble making.

     " Kelvin, you know that's not true," I said, an embarrassed blush creeping across my face. Both Myraia and Kelvin studied me closely and Kelvin roared out with laughter. Dang me!

     " Oh, I see what's going on," he hooted. Hey, Myraia, there's joke! Rei's blushing at the mere mention of his cousin's name and he says he doesn't like her!" Oh, god, does he ever stop torturing me?

     " Kelvin, stop that!" to my relief Myraia took cover for me. You know he doesn't like his cousin as in the other way, just as a cousin!"

     " Yah, and you're jealous," Kelvin said, still laughing like a hyena. I think at that moment Myraia looked ready to strangle him.

     " I AM NOT!!!" she yelled at him, amber spreading across her cheeks.

     " Yah, that's why you keep a picture of umph…" luckily, Myraia pressed a hand against his mouth with a look ready to kill, as she turned totally red…

     " Myraia, let go of Kelvin or you'll catch his attitude," a sharp voice came from above. Myraia immediately stopped her actions and looked up. The red staining her face disappeared.        

    " Hey, Lee," she said, finally letting go of the younger kid. Where's Gary?"

I was wondering that myself secretly…

    " You don't want to know," Lee replied, nearly growling. He said he'd be heading in front of us to get a good view on the fair." Somehow, a picture of Gary devouring a rather LARGE plate of food while waiting for us snapped into my mind. I couldn't help but chuckle.  

     " Hmm, what's so funny Rei?" asked Myraia hearing me snicker softly.

     " Nothing, just somehow I get the feeling that Gary's definition of waiting is eating till we get there," I let out a laugh.

    " I guess you're right," Myraia sighted with sarcasm. Kelvin made circles around her for some reason.

     " Kelvin, stop that!" Myraia said, waving her hand to catch the boy. You're making me dizzy." Kelvin stopped and crossed his hands in slight anger.

     " What's the big deal, Miraya, I was just circling a bit," he said. It's not like some demons are taking over the world an-ahhh…" A blast that came out of nowhere shot him away. Myraia, Lee and I gasped.

     " KELVIN!!!" Myraia was the first one to react. Oh, no!!!" A dark figure rose up in front of her. I noticed the glowing red eyes.

     " Hello, white angel," it said in a raspy, lustful whisper that suddenly sent shivers down my spine like cold water poring on my back. Suddenly, I felt like I was alone in the darkness…alone, face to face with the hideous creature. I felt my heartbeat fasten as I stared into those hot-red eyes. No emotions of good in them, just pure darkness…

And evil…

     " Myraia!!!" I heard Lee yell out all off the sudden. I shook my head and saw that the black creature was forming some dark energy ball. But what caught my attention most were the black ropes holding Myraia's body and wings together as she helplessly watched the blast form, her eyes showing that she knows her fate…

      " Hold on, I'm coming!" I felt myself shout as my body sprang forward to block the blow. The blast was almost ready, when I floated up in front to protect Myraia. But on the way there, I tripped over something and landed right on the blast. I felt the black beam blast into my stomach as I doubled up with great pain and felt myself being send backwards.

     " REI!!!" I heard Myraia's voice call out to me before I passed out, the blast still pushing me up…

Drip…drip…drip…

      What's that sound? And why do I feel so…wet? I tried to move but pain took over my body, allowing me to slip into semi-consciousness…

~Normal POV~

     A drop of morning rain fell from the flower onto Rei's nose. Another drop fell and this time landed on his neck.

     " Whoa!!!" Rei's eyes popped open from the cold water touching his skin. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. For a brief moment Rei tried to figure out where he was, when he now realized that his body felt like hot knives springing through it. His stomach especially. And his wings…

      " Huh, when did I…get wings?" he wondered out loud as he touched the silky, feathery white wings at both sides of his body.  Seems real enough, he thought and it hit him…the festival, the angels, the Myraia, the demon…

      " Demon?" Rei jumped up, ignoring the new pain that just came in. So, where is he? Where's Myraia or Lee? Where is ANYBODY?" Okay, don't panic, he said to himself. Now look around and try to tell where you are. Like Myraia once said, visualize…

       Rei looked around. In front of him stretched a small town with weir shaped houses. They were long...too long to be normal houses. There were some cars…the weirdest flying cars he ever saw, if he ever did see any. And the people had no wings…no wings…

No wings…

No wings…it kept echoing in his head. Okay, this is NOT good, he thought, not good at all.

        " Now I can panic," Rei first said calmly to himself, but then looked at all sides. Where in the WORLD am I?"

        " Wow, there, sonny," he suddenly heard a rather…old voice. Yeh don't need to be shoutin'o loud." Rei span around and came face to face with a normal looking woman. Without wings. She seems normal for an old person, Rei thought.

         Yah, one without wings, his mind reminded him to show him that he's not safe. Rei groaned. He wished he was in a calmer state, but the woman didn't see to notice his nervousness.

         " What's the problem, lad?" she asked. Rei looked over her quickly. She had an aged face, a bit of a crooked back and warm blue eyes. She was wearing a hooded large flowery dress (????) and was carrying a basket of tulips. The wind gently blew her white hair in the breeze.

         " Hey, I never seen you around here," she said. That's some outfit you got there. Are you from China?" She didn't allow Rei to answer her first question. He was wearing a rather Chinese looking outfit, but it was natural. For him, at least, since he didn't know how many long, night-black haired boys with unusually golden-yellow eyes in these types of outfits walked around, as well as having red bandanas in their hair with the Chinese symbol on it.

           Yah, seems normal, he decided.

          " No, actually, I'm an…" Rei began, but the woman cut him off.

       " It's no good to be goin' around dressin'up like the messengers of god themselves," she said, looking over his wings. It's bad luck." You're telling me, Rei thought. All I had so far was bad luck.

       " Umm, you're right," Rei said as he started walking away. Maybe it's best if I keep my wings to myself, just so others won't notice, he thought.

       " Bye, then, young man," the woman turned away and started to walk off. As soon as Rei saw she was gone, he folded his wings and they disappeared. Now, let's have a look at this city, shall we? He thought, walking down hill. Not far off, he could hear people. All five of an angel's senses were keener than that of an average person, so he had no trouble hearing them from that distance.

      " Hmm, I wonder what they live like?" Rei said to himself. Flying cars? That must be to replace the wings that we have, since we don't have flying ca-hey, what's that?" His eyes caught the sign posted almost right next to the town. Wasting no time, Rei ran over to it and began to read.

      " Welcome, stranger, you are no-THE WHAT???…"

What did Rei see that horrified him so much? What's this new place? Find out in the next chapter.

             
Darina: Sorry, I know the first chapter is lame, but this is my first fic so don't kill me.*runs away from screaming people*

Tyson: But tell me, what did Rei see that was so…shocking to him?

Darina: Ummm, no idea.

Kerda: What do you mean??!!! You wrote this thing.

Darina: Yah, but I don't want to tell yet. Later in the chapters you'll know. Till next chapter!
