The sun shone too vibrantly and sturdy but it was shaded by the hazy white sky. I could heed the rustle sound as trees swayed gently, flowing like the elegant zephyr. The leaves fell down from the tree leisurely like an autumn sight and rested on the solid arid soil benevolently. Beneath the olive foliage, I stood steadily with firm eyes on the lime haired angel.
"So? "
Finn decided to break the ice with tilted head and puzzled lemon orbs. I captured a look around, making certain that Noin wasn't eavesdropping to our conversation, but I ignored it subsequently since I knew that it was of no use to veil from the demon. I turned my face on her with soothing smile, at the same time, expecting her to answer correctly.
"Finn..."
I rested my palm on my chest with closed eyes serenely. She lingered for my words patiently without demanding answer swiftly.
"There is another me inside. I could feel his presence sometimes when Noin is around. "
She lifted an eyebrow and sulked deeply in thought. My lilac eyes creaked open, landing on her stunning glittering eyes. She struggled so hard to lower her face, but I touched her soft chin with my hand, lifting her dark shadowed delicate jade orbs.
"You can't conceal everything for years, no matter how painful it is, Finn. "
"It's not like what you have thought!! "
"Then?"
"I know that...actually I try so hard to forget about him....cause I can feel it. "
"Why you want to forget him? "
Somehow I could feel a sudden guilt or sadness fleeting me like an ephemeral gust of wind. I shook my head lightly, trying so hard to dismiss such a consideration. But I just knew the feeling, to be forgotten, it had to be hard for 'him'. After knowing that Finn was so hard to erase him utterly from her reminiscences, it had to be so bitter yet he still had to appreciate the whole things, whether he liked it or not.
"Because....I feel that we are so close...yet..."
Her voice creaked open and her eyes brimmed with sparkling crystal tears, shining under the soft radiance of the warm golden sun. My heart clenched to see her crying I wanted to take her to my shoulder, her weak figure but pretending so hard to be strong making me wanted to embrace her tightly. But I held back without uttering words, and ended up shun her face with clenched hand.
I just stood there without able to relieve her, nor hug her, nor see through her eyes.
Promptly in a sudden a silhouette was beyond us, darkened the surrounding all in sudden. I raised my head and met a France demon with evil beam in his lips. His black long coat rustled as he hovered on the sky and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His loyal dragon was nowhere to be seen that I didn't care about that pet in such a situation.
"So....you meet him already, human?"
"Yeah. You're the one that hurt him, right? Crumbling his world into pieces.... "
"He is not die yet. "
I exchanged icy fierce look with the black demon, leaving Finn in unanswered question, tilting her head extremely in concerned. Noin rested his palm on his face, masking his expression for a moment. My gaze wouldn't leave him since I couldn't trust him, he was a demon and it wouldn't alter the truth. He chuckled dreadfully as deafening as he could that I was troubled that my friends and teachers would come here to find out the cause of the strident laugh.
"But....I can kill him if you die...."
He lifted his forefinger and pinpointed it on me with buried meaning reflected in his gleaming eyes. His eyes....weren't normal...He leapt back abruptly and summoned his dark magical paper with odd writings on them. Without delaying another second, he threw them to me and Finn, starting another fight on my school. Dammit....Finn was too shocked to even budge that I had to seize her wrist hardly and threw her to the ground, taking the damage for her.
She gasped in horror, watching some fresh crimson blood streamed down from my shoulder. I winced in pain but kept a smile on her to calm her a little. It seemed as if it didn't work either since I could notice her diamond tears started to shape. I brushed her tears with my hand, touching her cheeks tenderly and curtly turned myself to face the demon that floated on the air.
He prepared to blow me to death before I could sense a holy power essence rising as if it was ready to burst out. I could feel my conscious was fading...and I could see him, the other me, falling to me with his white wings fluttered on his back before he smiled forlornly and whispered. I nodded a little with a frail smile and let him to take care of Noin for this time.
-------------------------------
-----------------------
"Shinji!!!"
I rushed to his side as he all of a sudden fainted and fell on the ground vulnerably. I took him into my arms and I concentrated some power to heal his injure where blood flowed like a small stream. I kept calling for his name, hoping he would wake up soon and let his amethyst eyes creaked open.
"Shin...!!"
The purple orbs were shone with bizarre glow as I could feel warmth emitted from him, surging some Holy power to me...I noticed that the grass grew taller, flower buds awakened from their sleep and bloomed prettily, trees swayed hard though there was no wind and the leaves grew thicker all of sudden. He assembled himself fragilely as I let him free from my grasp like a porcelain mannequin before he suddenly gazed up to Noin with another frown.
He was no longer Shinji that I knew....His dark mauve hair grew longer to his feet and a pair of pure wings fluttered prettily on his back. His gaze and eyes still reflected same but his physical was more.....handsome...I shook my head as hard as I could feel flush on my cheeks.
"Shinji?"
He shot me a composed and settled glance before he slowly turned his head again on Noin, one of the superior general of demon. He was too solemn that even in my dream, I didn't think that he was like this. Then a realization hit me, he WAS the man that I saw in my dream!
"I'm not Shinji for now. I have to take over because I can't let Noin to kill him. "
"Who....are you? "
He grimaced all of the sudden that I could see bitterness in his eyes evidently with a heartbreaking smile. I wondered if he was going to shed tears, but there was no diamond droplets on his cheeks.
"How you....."
He suddenly hastened to Noin and assaulted him with a small amount of his power. Noin couldn't let his gaze leaving Shinji even for a moment that he countered back the dark purple haired angel. Shinji darted away from Noin by purpose and extend his wings wide, flying on the azure sky away from school as quick as he could. Noin didn't let him flee that he also pursued Shinji from behind. Before Shinji left, He passed over me with a weak smile and whispered under his breath.
"Access. That's what they call me. Though you have forgotten about it, I will still remember your name.....forever...Finn "
I was left behind like that by those two boys with truth that I couldn't bear but to think about it. This was also a shock for me to meet him, the one that I never found before...I was too distracted to even consider to run after them when I could hear a chirping bird, perching on a tree with shrill voice to wake me up from my world. I raised my lemon orbs to meet a white dove on a green emerald tree.
"Shizuka? "
Suddenly it flied away across the colorless bright blue sky, spreading its wings. I nodded with a new determination lit up on my face and I fluttered my wings to aid Access. It would be better if she could help him to rout Noin, to have payback....for Shizuka.
And in order to protect Shinji....I might also have to recover my memories though I knew that it was going to be throbbing. I could feel slaps on my cheeks by the wind that countered me due to my high speed of flying.
----------------------------
---------------------
"Why do you keep pursuing me anyway....?"
I groaned deeply, taking a breath after a exhausting trip of flying. We were on a spacious lively meadow; where there was no one lived as far as I scanned the area. I landed gracefully on the verdant field and waited for Noin to join me. His eyes were somehow diverse from when I saw him back then, there was a dark cloud in those dim shining orbs, masking his emotion all behind.
"Maou-sama wants your soul, and that is a task that I will fulfill. "
"You are never like that before when Maron is still on her active time as the reincarnation of Jeanne'd Arc. "
He winced suddenly and grabbed his head as if thousands spears thrust him with a low growl in pain. I stared impassively; Maou-sama had to do something about this I thought...It didn't take him long before he threw all his pain to me by assaulting me. I could guess it from him that I easily dodged him and moved aside.
"You're not Noin...Does he possess you with his demon? "
"It's not your problem. "
"It is. Probably Maron won't like this. "
"If only I care. "
"You love her. Why did you let yourself lose to Maou that might hurt your precious person? "
"I don't understand what you are talking about. "
I shrugged slightly, knowing that this was going nowhere but a fight. I shoved my feet length hair back through my shoulder before I flied backwards to dodge his attack and counterattacked him. I preferred to fight on the air, not to ruin the pretty meadow that usually Finn would scold me if I did horrible mistakes to nature in the past.
Yeah....such a past.
It has no meaning by now.
With a quick glare, I jumped over him and tried to give him a blow from behind. Though I was the best in physical in Heaven, but he couldn't be underestimated as it seemed that he was also the best in Hell. Ugh....dammit. I hated to have a long fight that made me unable to take a nap. Crap...if only he didn't come, probably I would still in my dreamy world....sigh...That was life.
My velocity was better than him, but his experience in battle and fight were greater than me that he could calculate from which direction that my attack would come. I dashed down that he threw me with evil power. I was succeeding in running away, though some flower ended up being sacrificed. I slapped my head with my hand with a warning thought. If there was old Finn, I could hear her hours' length lecture for this.
"I actually prefer letting you to be like this than purify you. To waste such a Holy power that I hardly collect...."
I pouted with unhappy look, shot to Noin who stared me down perplexedly with no emotion filled in his eyes. I closed my eyes after making a temporary shield to block his hit for a while when I summoned my magical staff, the gift from Kami-sama when you achieved Seitenshi rank. But to use the staff, it would consume the Holy power that angels mostly evaded to use it in order to haste their reincarnation.
"Purify Time. "
I could feel as if my power was consumed by a swallow bottomless hole. With a gasp, I ended the holy cast that satisfactorily got Noin down, unconscious. Keeping the staff on my hand, I lied with my back on the grass, panting hard with sweats streaming down to my face. I was going to revert back to Shinji when I saw a glimpse of Finn in the corner of my eyes. Suddenly I felt anxious for things that I trembled by tiredness and fear but my feet shook hard that I couldn't even run nor hide.
Really...Noin...you owed me QUITE a lot.
I muttered to myself in disgruntled before I tried to call back the real me, running from Finn. It was felt funny, avoiding the one that you actually really loved that you would die for her just to meet her once again. But when you got a chance, you ran away like a coward....I sighed and tried to sit on the land.
Shinji....wake up you, lazy bump.
Wha??? Done already? I just fell asleep!!
Who cares....that's my place!
I couldn't believe that you would say that when you are just memories.
Whatever...I'm just a guardian for you after all.
"Access!!!! "A melodic voice rang loudly in the half destroyed meadow.
Crap...
Hey! No angel says such a thing!
Ask Kami-sama to erase such a rule.
Oh well, Finn is calling for you.
Hey, take me back to my place!
Take care your own business first. I don't want to be meddled by your stuff together.
Why you?!!!
I spotted her as she landed her feet gently gracefully on the rustling grass with her eyes on me, sternly enough to frighten me. She took steps forward when I replied her with backward steps. I could feel flush on my cheeks, what a shame....for hundreds years I was always beside her that I still couldn't control myself when she was around.
"Why do you avoid me? "
Oh...she notices...
If you really want to save me, you should take turn now.
Nah....thanks.
I moaned in protest under my breath which audibly enough to her that made her frown questioningly. She gazed to her side for a moment where Noin were knocked unconscious before she made her way back to me.
"Tell me. Who are you? Why you are in my dream? "
"That should be Kami-sama's secret I think. "
"No quiz. Tell me. "
I exhaled some air out with closed eyes. She would never change that she would hunt you to the end of the world for an answer, what a persistent girl, but really cute.
"I'm Access Time. When I passed the test becoming a Seitenshi, I am given a task to guard the movement of time....before I was punished by Kami-sama, banished from Heaven for failing in such an important task. "
"Punish? Do you betray Him? "
"No. "
"Then? He won't punish you for nothing! "
"............."
"Because I fell in love. "

Yeah! Finished! To be concluded!
