XxX Satoshi's P.O.V.
Father moved me to a different school than the one I would have attended in Azumano. I suppose it's because of what happened with Dark and Krad. I may be a Hiwatari by law, but by blood I'm still a Hikari.
I met a girl today at school. She was the one who would always come to inspect where Dark's crimes occurred. I think her name is Teil. She's an orphan, and, from what I could gather, lives by herself. To add to this, she is also of the Lesser Wings.
But she is still a mortal.
She has brown hair, but according to Krad, she's got hair like mine, although it's layered. Here eyes are dark, I can't tell what color.
Krad's been taunting me again. Those two times I walked away from Teil, they've left me unsure. Krad has no one to hurt now,
except for me. But if I come to love someone...there's no telling what he would do.
I think I might be afraid, for the first time.

I realize that Teil wasn't at school today. I asked around, but I found it obvious that Teil had no friends. The teacher asked me to take Teil's work to her apartment. Apparently, she lives a block from me.
I rang the bell, but no one answered, even when I rang it twice more. I tried the door, and it came open. The lock, after examination, had been forced a short while ago. I hurried into the apartment.
When I reached Teil's room, I found her on the floor, and the window was open, cold air coming in. I left the books on a table and went over to her. As I picked Teil up, I could feel she was feverish, and her breathing was not steady. There was a red mark across one cheek. Once she touched the cool sheets, she groaned and opened her eyes.
"Sato..shi...Hiwatari-kun." Teil said and struggled to sit up.
"You should have taken the umbrella, you know." I told her, closing the window. Then I felt her forehead. "You're burning up."
"Yes...I know...I just have a fever." She shook her head, as though that would get rid of it.
"Did someone hit you?"
She nodded. "It was one of those legal people again. They wanted money, but I said no. I didn't need their services. He hit me then and jumped out of the window. I don't think he was mortal."
"Probably so." I stroked her face without meaning to. "Do you want me to stay with you?"
"That would be nice." Teil sighed. "You can call me Teil-chan if you want."
I nodded. "Satoshi-kun."
Teil smiled then. It was small, but it was there. I couldn't help a small smile myself.
And I held her hand while she slept.

Please read the third chapter! But thanks for reading this in the first place! R&R!
Princess of The Shadow Land: Thanks for reading, and here's the update. The "l" in her name isn't silent. It's pronounced TEEL (which rhymes with SEAL). : )
Shimmering Solitude: I've only read the manga, so... But I think that he'd be "gaga" over a girl if he'd known her for a while... But he isn't really "gaga"... you can't really use that kind of word to dexcribe Krad...
Three Letter Word: Does that mean you read this chapter (or you'll read any of the others)?
