Yuki walked home and moved ton his study, collapsing into his chair and opening Microsoft word, he closed his eyes and opened them to peer about his office; his gaze came to rest on the stack of several colored notebooks, all but black, which were labeled with potential titles for his book. He only used them when he went to the park to write, which had become a daily expedition, going to the park, sitting on the bench right next to where he met Shuichi and filling up about 15 pages of writing. As his computer took what seemed like forever to open the word processing program, he somehow drifted off to sleep. The mischievous little Kai poked her head into the room, watching the young man sleeping. She frowned; THIS was the man she was supposed to be guarding. She pouted slightly, angry suddenly at the sun for having gone down, turning her into her chibified state. Kai was a guardian angel, sent from heaven to watch other Eiri Yuki, the cold, heartless novelist. She pouted slightly, wondering why she got stuck with all the lame jobs. She was supposed to be back in Heaven right now, singing for the Angel Eggs that would give birth to the baby angels. She floated into the room, her wings flapping soundlessly as she moved. "Hey... hey you! Wake up!" Kai said, poking him and squeezing his cheeks. "Hey!"
"Nnn... not now Shuichi I'm sleeping" he mumbled swatting her hands away.
Kai frowned,
looking at the window, then at the clock, 8:30, it was gonna be a long night. Kai looked
around, her amber eyes trying to detect anything that might help her wake him
up. She sighed, turned back around, and stretched out his cheek again.
"Up! Wake up!" She pleaded, pinching him sharply.
Yuki opened his eyes and began screaming "GODDAMNIT SHUICHI I"M TRYING TO SLEEP!!" he finished and was heavily breathing.
Miyaski tumbled
backwards, falling down behind the desk. She floated up, her wings beating
soundlessly again.
"Hey! That's not very nice you know! It's not my fault I was
stuck with this job!" She snapped, putting her hands on her hips.
"Who's Shu-ee-chi?" She asked, sounding out the strange name.
"Shuichi... you know the pop star... platinum blonde hair.... lead singer
of Bad Luck...." Yuki made an effort to explain, not realizing that she
was floating... Miyaski blinked,
tilting her head to the side in cute confusion.
"I'm sorry... who?"
"..." He ran a hand through his hair
"M-my....... Koibito..."
He mumbled the last word quietly. Miyaski,
being an angel, did not understand the concept of love. She still looked a bit
confused, but, figuring that if she asked him to explain she'd get even
more confused, she decided not to ask.
"I see... Well, I'm Miyaski, your Guardian Angel!" She said,
looking proud.
"Don't need one." He said turning back to his
laptop to continue what he had started earlier. Miyaski nearly fell over again.
"But Eiri-san! I have to stay here and be your Guardian! I can't go
back to Heaven until God calls me back!" She pleaded, floating in front of
his laptop.
"Then go bug Shuichi....or DJ.... follow the Eminem for DJ and the Nittle Grasper for Shuichi..." he replied, beginning to type.
"No! I was
assigned to you! I can't watch over anyone else!" Miyaski pouted,
her wings flapping slightly as she stayed afloat, in Eiris way.
".... You.... are..... Floating....." at that moment Shuichi
walked in carrying a bag of popcorn and handed it to Eiri
"Yuki…please, eat this..." He said and then left as Yuki opened
the bag and began munching on it. Miyaski
floated a little bit towards the door to stare after Shuichi.
"Who was that?" She asked, floating back over. "And of course
I'm floating! I'm an angel!" She smiled innocently and eyed
the bag he was eating. He finished chewing his bite "Shuichi...
since I'm working, sometimes I don't have time to cook so he makes popcorn for
me so that I don't starve, I love him to pieces, but he has learned to not bug
me when I'm working." he answered, Taking another bite from the steaming
bag.
Miyaski sat on the
top of the laptop, her non-existing weight not putting any pressure on it.
"Oh... ok..." She blinked again, still eyeing the bag. "What is
that?"
"...." he eyed her strangely "Popcorn...."
"Pop...
corn?" Miyaski floated forward, sniffing at the contents.
"It's... food?"
"Yes... It's like a starch....." he explained
"I need to see my laptop…" Miyaski frowned and floated out of the way.
"You should get to sleep... it's really late!" she said,
floating around the room, straightening things up as she did.
"You better put my stuff down, or I may have to force you to leave..." he warned "I have to pull an all nighter... deadlining..... Later I'll probably raid Shuichi's stash of pocky and make at least ten pots of coffee if I need to."
"You
can't kill me silly!" Miyaski turned and laughed slightly.
"Staying up this late in unhealthy!" She scolded slightly, before
returning to what she was doing. "Coffee? Pocky? More human food I
presume?"
"...Yes, they both make you hyper and/or help you stay
awake. Will you please leave my stuff alone, I'm not going to be able to find
it when I need it." He said Miyaski
sighed and set what she had currently in her hands down.
"Alright... well I'm going to bed... goodnight." She floated over
to a corner of the room and lay down in the said corner. Her wings hid her from
view as she drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Eiri awoke in his
study to see that his laptop had been shut down, and he flipped out
"SHUICHIIIII!!!" Miyaski,
still in her chibified state, sprang up.
"Eiri-kun! What's wrong!" She looked around and noticed it was
morning. Her eyes grew wide with delight as she closed her eyes. The suns rays
bent and wrapped around her body. She glowed briefly, before turning to her
adult form. Yuki stared, Shuichi came running in... Yuki spoke
"What just happened to you?" regarding he only female currently
residing in the room.
Miyaski turned and
smiled.
"I told you! I'm your guardian angel! Angels draw their powers from
the sun, so I can resume my true form during the day. At night, however, I turn
into a smaller form of myself! Demons are the exact opposite..." She
turned to look at the new young man.
"Hello!" She greeted, smiling at him. Her wings, now much larger,
flapped softly behind her as she floated.
