Author's Note:
Thanks to Daydremer9, I just remembered that I forgot to write about the part where did Fumika got Rinrei's hair. It's because she already has the hair supplies with her. Anyway, sorry it took so long. I'll do what the readers want…well of course not everything, but enjoy!


Chapter 2: May the Angels Dance

The sun was shining bright at the morning when the clock struck 7:30. The alarm clock rang as Fumika stopped her alarm clock. She woke up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. She took up Rinrei on the table and went off.

At the kitchen, Aunt Cara was frying eggs for them both. Aunt Cara decorated the table and greeted Fumika, "Morning, Fumika. Are you going to carry that Angel everywhere? Boys aren't allowed to see, the Angel is naked!" she laughed.

"Ha-ha-ha, very funny Aunt Cara. I'm going to get a costume for her today, since I don't have any school." Said Fumika gobbling her breakfast in a hurry. She ate her breakfast and slammed her fork on the table, I got to go, See you!"

"Right, how are you going to afford cloth and items for the Angel? Since you don't have any money." Aunt Cara grinned sinisterly. Fumika was about to open the door until she heard Aunt Cara's words, she stopped, "Oh, right, I forgot. But I always can bring her along." She made up a reason and walked away with a disappointing look on her face.

She walked on the street and stopped in front of Piffle Princess. She looked through the window to see if there is any cloth in there.

"Are you looking for something? You can always go in." said a voice beside Fumika. Fumika spun around and was surprise to see a beautiful blonde haired girl wearing a red kimono - about the same age as Fumika. There was a red-haired Angel with green eyes on her shoulder.

"Uh…no, I don't need anything. I don't have anymoney to do so." Said Fumika to the girl.

"Well…the name's Catherine Camolous. This is Chikori, my Angel." She said as Chikori blinked and started to observe Fumika.

Fumikastared at Chikori and said, "My name is Fumika Himura."

"There should be an Angel somewhere around you, otherwise you wouldn't be standing in front of Piffle Pincess." She said, "May I see?" Fumika was scared enough to show someone her naked Angel, it wasn't wearing anything but hair.

Eventually, she slowly took out Rinrei and said, "Uh…this is Rinrei…I know, she isn't wearing anything-" she said quickly.

"Oh god! She's naked!" said Catherine, pressing her hands on her lips, "Oh dear, I'm not allow to say that, my parents would ground me and only let me eat blue cheese for two days!"

"It's okay, I won't complain…" Fumika said with a frown, what parents would do such a thing, she thought.

"Thanks, anyway, since I heard you don't have any money, I'll give you 50.00 dollars, to buy cloths for Rinrei, that is." She said digging her purse and taking out 50.00 dollars, handing it to Rinrei. She doesn't seem to want to take it, for some reason.

Chikori spoke all of a sudden, "Go on, and take it." Chikori's voice didn't sound like a robot at all, but a lovely female voice.

"I can't take it, you are wasting 50.00 dollars, are you mad? I mean, that is not even half of my pocket money!" snapped Fumika.

Catherine burst into laughter, "That's the 10th timesomeone called me that when I tried to borrow them money, some of the people just snatch it without a thank you. Don't worry, Fumika, I get 100.00 dollars for my pocket money everyday." Catherine said.

Fumika was shocked, her parents might do things, but they sure give her lots of money. "Are you that rich?" she asked with a frown.

"Trust me, I live in a mansion." She said with a smile handing Fumikathe money, "Here, you don't need to return me anything, my parents won't mind, they let me do anything I want, well, not everything."

Fumika took the money with a grateful smile and said, "Thanks, Catherine, Chikori too! So, I'll see you again?" she asked.

"Yes, of course." Said Catherine with a nod, "I would have to go now."

Fumika gave Catherine a wave and ran into Piffle Princess. She was observing the all the cloth on the shelves. She picked up a few cloth and a few supplies on making items for the Angel to wear. She paid the 50.00 dollars and thanked the cashier as she went of.

Fumika went back to Aunt Cara's house and took out a needle and a roll of thread from her drawer. She started cutting the cloth and made it into a red suit with a skirt at the bottom. She made red boots and slide them into Rinrei's legs.

Fumikamanage finished the suit and started making some items. She made a red bandana out of some materials, a pair of small angel wings on both sides and two long tails daggling at the back of the bandana. Fumika wore the clothes on Rinrei.

Fumika looked at the time; she spent almost two hours working on the suit. "There is still time!" said Fumika with a delighted smile. She rushed down and raced out of the door. She was heading to the Angelic Layer training centre.

Fumika went into a large building with many people and their Angels. She saw many layers as well. She then spotted ared-haired girl waving at her. It was Catherine! She seems to be settling down onto a chair with a layer in front of her.

Fumika waved back and ran to Catherine. "Hi, Catherine! How long have you been here?" Fumika asked and saw Chikori on Catherine's shoulder. The Angel was observing Fumika again. It was like trying to memories how Fumika look like.

"Oh, not for long. I just got here." Said Catherine sitting down onto a chair, "Care to join me for training?"

Fumika nodded, "I've finish Rinrei's clothes." Fumika took Rinrei out from a velvet bag. Catherine looked at the Angel and smile, "You did a great job with the suit." Catherine stood up from her chair and continued her sentence, "Come on, and let's get a voice for Rinrei."

Fumika and Catherine reached a booth where a lady wearing a black uniform stood. "Here to get a voice?" she smile, "Here, get your pick." The lady handed out a small computer with and speaker on the side. "Please click on the enter button to hear the voice."

Fumika viewed most of the voices, until she came to the last one, it was a gentle, female voice with a lovely tone, "I'll pick this one." Said Fumika to the lady.

"Alright then, may I have you Angel?" said the lady. Fumika handed Rinrei out to the lady. The lady connected a small green wire behind Rinrei's neck. She typed a few words and presses a blue button. A humming sound began and the voice number that was chosen for Rinrei was deleted. The lady disconnected the wire and handed Rinrei to Fumika. "Here you go. Come back here if you want to switch voices, have a nice day."

"Come on, Fumika." Said Catherine pulling Rinrei to one of the layers. They settled themselves in one of the chairs. Catherine held Chikori up and said, "Chikori, work hard. Angel, Fall In!" After those words, Chikori was thrown into the layer.

Chikori somersaulted in air and landed on the layer. Her green eyes opened and smiled at Catherine. "I'll do my best!" said Chikori in the layer. Catherine nodded and looked up at Fumika, "It's your turn. Give it a try, think design a pattern on how do you want Rinrei to enter." Said Catherine.

Rinrei sigh and said, "Rineri, Angel, Fall In!" Rinrei was spinning around three times as she through the layer and landed on her feet. Her eyes open. Catherine, Fumika and Chikori were surprise to see Rinrei's left eye in the gentle color of royal blue, but her right eye was like a sky blue marble.

"What? You don't mean to tell me that you bought an Angel with a blind eye?" whispered Catherine to Fumika. "The right eye on the Angel is the most important one!"

"Catherine, I didn't buy it, I picked it up. Its right eye was cracked when I found it, but I took it with me…" Whispered Fumika to Catherine.

Catherine nodded with a smile, "That's a good thing to do, but, come on, let get on with the training." Rinrei looked around her surroundings and turned to Fumika. It did a shy smile and looked at Chikori.

"Nice to meet a fellow Angel!" said Chikori with a wide smile. Chikori took out her right hand, expecting Rinrei to shake it. Rinrei was looking at Chikori's hand and shook it back.

"Angels are smart once they first open their eyes. They know what to do; they know who their masters are. But takes them quite a while to speak." Said Catherine as she took out a small radio from her bad and started playing a gentle violin tune.

Chikori started dancing on the layer. There were spins, twirls, jump, summersaults and many other moves. Fumika was observing Chikori's moves. "You must use your mind. A few years ago, people that play Angelic Layer use headsets. But not anymore, things change, Fumika" said Catherine.

Fumika tried making a few moves, a twirl and a spin. Rinrei was doing on what Fumika was thinking; she did it gracefully and stopped. "Not bad, keep going!" said Catherine with a smile. Fumika nodded and both of them kept on training.

They were training for a while; they were talking at the same time. "So you are saying you intend to go to a new school tomorrow. Which is my school?" Said Catherine. Fumika nodded and smile, "Yes, my aunt has planned that I go to a school with a better education, that school is your school."

They weren't chatting for long until it's time for Catherine to leave, "See you, Fumika. Right I forgot, keep on training and please get your Angel Card over there. It will help you on collecting your Angel points!" Catherine waved and winked at Fumika, "Goodbye, Rinrei!" said Chikori waving at Rinrei.

After they left, "I shall go get an Angelic Card now. Come on Rinrei!" said Fumika as Rinrei jumped out of the layer. Bit of them went to a lady in a violet uniform. "I would like to register my Angelic Card, please!" said Fumika.

After registering Fumika's Angel Card, they went back on training. It's not for long until a boy with black hair came in and sat on another table beside Fumika's. The boy let out and Angel, the Angel looks cold and serious, it has black hair and a blue suit with a red cape and two long tails daggling on its shoulders.

"Go ahead, Nataku! Angel, Fall In!" said the boy. The Angel was doing some moves that Fumika never saw Chikori do. Fumika was looking at the Angel, completely forgetting about her training with Rinrei. But Rinrei was observing the moves of the Angel, Nataku.

"Great job, Nataku." Said the boy until her spotted Fumika and Rinrei staring at Nataku. "Stop staring, you and your blind doll can't just spy on our moves." Cried the boy rudely. Nataku seems to be looking at the boy with a suspicious look.

"Huh? I mean, sorry, I wasn't spying! I was just looking!" Fumika snapped with a suspicious look as well. He seems so much nicer with her Angel… Fumika thought.

"That's it, let's go, Nataku." Said the boy with a glare at Fumika. The boy went to a table much further from Fumika's. Nataku made a cold glare at Rinrei. It was a look of describing 'Never use my moves, or else!'

"Don't bother. Boys will be boys." Said Fumika. "It's almost time for dinner. We should be heading home, Rinrei! Come one!" Fumika reached out her hand in front of the layer as Rinrei jumped onto Fumika's shoulder. Rinrei gave Fumika a warm smile and suddenly spoke, "Ikuzo! (It mean 'Let's go' in Japanese.)

Fumika was silence, but she smiled, Rinrei was just perfect with a voice like that. "Ikuzo!" Fumika repeated as both of them walked down the sunset.
