Author's notes: Hey look another chapter! Actually I hate to say this, but this is only a teaser. I don't have enough to really call this a chapter, but I've felt so guilty not putting anything out for such a long time. So as I said before this is only a very short chapter/teaser. Please forgive me for taking so long for this, but things have been so stressful and busy lately that I haven't had the time. But don't worry, Christmas break is coming up soon, so I'll have close to 3 weeks off from school, so I can write more, YAY!!! ^_^ Anyway, here ya go people, the next little bit of D.A. Please read and review!!!! I live on reviews, and I need reviews to continue!!!
I also want to take the time to thank ALL my reviewers for this story. I figure since I have such a short chapter at the moment that I'll make up for it slightly by thanking all of you. ^.~ These are in no paticular order, I'm just going by most recent reviewer to the beginning. And just because some may be longer than others, doesn't mean I love or appriciate any of you any less. I love you all!!

Death's Angel
By Rekka's Angel
Chapter 14
Reunions
**********
It had been a day since the battle where they lost Miyako. It was supposed
to be the last one, but they still had Chaos to finish off. Which would
have been done already, had they had a means of getting to the Dynasty.
No one was in a good mood, as they all sat around sulking. For
obvious reasons, Ryo was the one most affected by Miyako's death. Everyone
tried their best to cheer him up, but considering they weren't in very
good moods themselves, things didn't go too well.
The sound of the clock ticking could be heard in the silence.
The house had never been this quiet before and it was grating everyone's
already frayed nerves. So lost in sadness were they that they didn't notice
Byakuen run out the door until he roared mightily. They all looked outside.
To their surprise, a huge door stood down by the lake. It was as tall as
a skyscraper and ebony colored. They had seen doors like this before and
it was slightly ajar as if beckoning them to enter. After convincing Nasuti
to stay put, they wasted no time in running down to the entrance they knew
led to the Dynasty; changing into their sub armor as they went.
As they stepped through the giant door, they stood in a large
field, with a castle off in the distance.
"Well, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth, let's go!" Shuu
shouted. Touma calmly put a restraining hand on Shuu's shoulder.
"It's probably a trap." Touma stated.
"So what if it is! This guy isn't getting away with what he did!
If anything I'm doing this to avenge Miyako." Shuu answered.
"Either way, we have no choice. Either go to him, or have him
come to us. I'd much rather get this over with now anyway." Seiji said.
Shin nodded in agreement, for once actually wanting to fight. They all
looked over at Ryo for the last word. He stood there motionless and nonchalantly
nodded. They looked at him worriedly, but knew it wasn't going to help
asking what was wrong. They knew what was wrong, and sadly there was nothing
they could do to sooth their friend's pain. They took off running towards
the castle, not too surprised when tons of dynasty soldiers appeared before
them. They leaped into battle and started destroying soldiers left and
right.
"This is pointless. It's just slowing us down!" Shin yelled over
the noise of crashing armor.
"Not to mention it's being used to tire us out!" Seiji shouted.
"Well, what are we waiting for, let's transform and get ride
of all this trash!" Ryo called out. They nodded and called their armor.
Once they were suited up it was a piece of cake getting through them. More
and more soldiers kept coming, but they bashed their way through. "Ignore them! Don't fight unless you have to!" With that said, Ryo led
the group through the throng of warriors to the front gates of the castle.
They stared up at the palace in wonder. It was enormous! Much
bigger than Arago's castle was, although with the same design and structure.
The gates were made of black marble and had engravings of battles and destruction
during the war torn feudal Japan era. As if inviting them in, the doors
opened enough to let them through. They nodded to each other and stepped
inside the gates and to the front door; stepping through it as well.
Meanwhile.....
Darkness. All around her was darkness. Miyako opened her eyes
to find herself floating in a black abyss. She looked around to see if
there was anything to indicate where she was. Was she in hell? No it wasn't
hell. Hell was a personal hell, one made especially for each individual
who entered there. It sure wasn't heaven, though.
"Hello!" Miyako called out. No one answered. Was she in limbo?
She curled up into a ball, wrapping her arms around her bent legs, and
resting her head on her knees. Tears found their way out from behind her
eyelids as she continued to float in the darkness.
The most recent events were still fresh in her mind. She had
finally told Ryo she loved him, but she had died before he could answer.
She didn't care, though. Maybe it was better that way. She wouldn't have
to suffer the pain of rejection. But then again, being with him even if
he didn't love her was better than being in this place. She smiled in spite
of the situation. She could almost feeling Ryo's presence with her; his
smell, his smile, and his strong and warm arms wrapped around her like
a shield.
Her silent reverie was shattered when a bright light began to
grow off in the distance. She covered her eyes in an attempt to block the
light, but even then it was so strong she could still see it. It grew and
grew until it was big enough to swallow her whole. The brightness was so
intense she could feel the heat radiate from it. In an instant the light
expanded all around and enfolded her in it's grasp.
When she opened her eyes again she had to squint for a few minutes
as her eyes adjusted to the amount of light. The room she was in now was
the total opposite of where she had just come from. The whole place was
white, with gold designs covering every wall. Pure blue sky shown through
the only window in the room as it's sheer white drapes billowed in the
slight breeze. She turned around and saw a huge wooden door with carvings
of angels on it, as well as a strange looking aqua colored globe floating
in the middle of the room.
Her attention returned to the door when she heard the door knob
squeak as it was turned. The door opened and she stood there in shock when
she saw Suki standing there in a beautiful flowing white dress. Her cyan
hair was pulled up into a high pony tail and her silver eyes sparkled with
happiness. Miyako also took note of the stunning white wings that adorned
her back.
"Suki? Is that really you?" Suki nodded with a smile. Miyako
flew over to Suki's awaiting arms and hugged the older girl tightly; her
earlier worries left behind. "Suki I've missed you so much!" She rested
her head on Suki's shoulder as tears rolled down her cheeks. Suki smiled
and stroked Miyako's golden hair as she let her cry a bit.
"I'm happy to see you too Miyako." Miyako let go of her as her
crying was reduced to the occasional sniffle. Suki grinned and held Miyako's
hand in support.
"So where am I?"
"Well I guess you could say you're in heaven's waiting room."
Suki said with a slight giggle.
"So do I get to leave here with you?" Suki gave a sad smile and
shook her head. Actually I don't know. The oh high and mighty," Suki said
sarcastically. "And a few others are still debating some things about you.
So until someone gives the word I don't know." Miyako nodded in understanding,
but stood anxiously waiting for the answer. "Oh!" Suki gasped. "I have
to go get a few people. I'll be back in a minute Miyako." Suki let go of
her hand and headed out the door. She suddenly stopped and turned around
towards Miyako as if she forgot something. She smiled at Miyako's worried
expression as the younger girl looked around the room she was in. "By the
way Miyako," Miyako looked up. "He does love you." With that said Suki
took off to find who she was searching for.
Miyako stood there motionless for a minute wondering what she
meant and who he was. It suddenly dawned on her and the brightest happiest
smile she had ever had graced her face. She was practically flaoting. But
with the thought of Ryo came the worry of if he and the others were alright
and the sadness of the situation. She had left him before they could ever
become something wonderful. She had left before she could have the chance
to experience life with the man who loved her. Miyako sunk to her knees
on the marble floor and stared blankly at the ground. Before any other
sad thoughts could enter her mind Suki had returned.
"Miyako." Suki called. Miyako looked up sadly at her long time
friend and got the second surprise of her life. Standing before her was
her mother and father. She couldn't believe it. Tears ran down her cheeks
once more as she drunk in their appearance.
Her mother was as beautiful as ever with her long light brown
hair in a braid and her deep blue eyes shining with pride and love. Her
slender figure was covered in a pale green gown with a dark green sash
around her waist. Her handsome father stood straight and tall as
his emerald eyes looked down at her with tenderness. His ebony hair was
longer than she remembered it, but then again it had been a very long time
since she last saw them. Yume opened her arms to her daughter and Miyako
hurriedly got off the floor and ran into her mother's arms. The day had
been one of sad partings and happy reunions for Miyako, but it looked like
things would just get better from there on out.
