The next day when the young angel arrived, Mitsume was prepared. He was sitting in the window, for when he'd tossed the heavy velvet curtain aside, a beautiful garden lay outside it, and fresh air sneaked in through the cracks. Mitsume couldn't have cared less about the flowers, but he needed to be healthy and fit to fight as soon as possible, and every little bit of air in his lungs strengthened him.
From the sun's position in the sky, Mitsume could tell that it was nearly noon when Komakai poked his head throgh the door once again. This time, though, he was accompanied by another. At his shoulder stood a much taller, much more somber angel. Every sense in Mitsume's head went on immediate alert, and he realized that this was the angel he'd encountered in the alley. The older angel looked up from under neat strands of goldenish hair, and their eyes locked, chocolate brown against sky blue.
As if sensing the tension, Komakai wandered over to the windowsill, and offered a tray of food to Mitsume, which consisted of fresh bread, and a bowl of stew with a kind of boiled meat that the bounty hunter had never seen before. He sniffed at it dubiously.
"It's good meat. It'll help you heal faster," the young angel reassurred him. "How do you feel this morning?"
"I'm still alive," Mitsume glanced once again up at the taller seraph.
"Oh, this is my older brother, Kanshisha. He's a guardian 'nd a warrior."
Kanshisha nodded in Mitsume's general direction by way of greeting. Mitsume, ever one to be cool, nodded back and included a slightly amused smirk.
Komakai frowned. "Um.. ok, well, guess that we'll be going." He turned to hurry for the door, but Mitsume stopped him.
"Hey, just a sec. You've gotta answer some of my questions."
Kanshisha turned to him and looked as though he wanted to say something to the contrary, but Komakai nodded quickly. "Yeah, might as well get that over with." He wandered over to the other side of the large windowsill and sat down opposite Mitsume. "'Kay, so what do you want to know?"
"Quite a few things. Number one, where are we?"
Komakai turned to his brother, as if to ask his approval, but when he saw that Kanshisha was gazing out the window, he turned back to the bounty hunter.
"Well, we're in a small dojo just outside the city. It's abandonded, except for our crew. We can all stay here as long as we want to without fear of being discovered."
That's good, Mitsume thought. He know how most normal people reacted when they saw his true form, and his disguise had been lost long ago. "That's cool. Number two. Who the hell are you two? And what's your 'crew'?"
They saw Kanshisha bristle at the word that described the location of his antagonists, but he didn't respond. Mitsume checked himself, deciding to be more careful in the future. The incident with Kashisha in the alleyway hadn't escaped his memories yet.
"We're part of the fallen flock. We're all warriors, and our crew has been sent here to keep the peace on Earth. There's been some conflicts with angels and demons lately, and it's disturbed a lot of our magic. We have to scout and make sure that things don't get too out of hand. Actually, that's why my big brother and his crew are here. I'm only here because I didn't have anyone else to stay with back home."
Mitsume's memories came back, and he could recall the half-angel girl who'd been with the young Demon king when he'd died. The bounty hunter hadn't known her personally, but he'd learned most of the details from Othello. God, the name still make him sick.
Then Mitsume saw the young angel waiting patiently across from him. "Okay. That makes sense. So what's my status here?" Mitsume frowned carefully. He wasn't sound enough yet to fight them if they tried to keep him here, and even if he was, he didn't know what other tricks the angels had up their sleeves.
Komakai looked slightly uncomfortable. "Well, you're not a prisoner here or anything like that...but, if you leave, and someone found out that you'd been here, we might be discovered, amd that would cause total chaos! And our mission would fail. So... hey!" The young seraph's eyes lit up as he had an idea. "Maybe you could help us! If you can sneak around alleyways without being seen, then you can totally do this! We'd make such an awesome team."
Kanshisha turned with a frown and spoke for the first time. "Komakai-"
"Oh please, Kansh? He awesome! And you could even teach him some of your tricks!"
Kanshisha looked uncomfortable, but a spark had suddenly popped up in Mitsume's mind, and he was beginning to formulate a hell of an idea.
