Raya the angelalchemist: I think I explained it before, but I'll explain it again anyway. Spirit wings are powered by the person's spirit. Only a few people have them, because they require a strong person to be able to power them. They come in various colors, but mainly black or white, depending on the person's nature.
Well, the last chapter wasn't the last chapter, so here's the next one. Enjoy!

Teil's P.O.V.
I realized what was happening. Krad was going back to the other side. He was leaving this world. Again. "Krad! Don't go! Please..." I felt tears spring up in my eyes. What had I done to the angel by loving him?
He smiled and stroked my face. It was probably the last time he did so. He looked at me with those beautiful golden eyes of his. "Don't worry. I'll be with Dark. And please...take care of Satoshi-sama for me." Golden dust started to form around the edges of his form. Krad was being de-materialized.
I held onto Krad's hand, but it soon slipped through my fingers. My eyes were wide as the dust spread to his face and then his eyes. He looked at me for one last second, and then he was gone. Krad had left me, but Satoshi appeared and remained. He had a blank look on his face. Then he looked at me, the small light in his blue eyes all but gone.
"What the hell did you do?" Satoshi asked me in a soft, icy voice. Then he tore out of the room, much to the annoyance of the nurses outside the door and in the hallway.
Satoshi didn't come back to see me in the hospital. I didn't see Satoshi again until I went back to school...

It was lunchtime again. I found Satoshi on the roof, just sitting with his back against a wall. The look in his eyes was blank, as if he didn't know what to do or say next. His blue hair was unusually messy. From what I could tell by just looking at him, he was stressed, tired, and nervous. As I sat down beside him, he shuddered and pulled his knees up to his chest.
"I'm sorry about my outburst...at the hospital. I didn't mean to say it." he said softly. "It's just...I've had Krad inside of me for so long. the voice in my head just suddenly died." Satoshi paused and looked at me. "How did you come to love that monster? Even when you knew about the Niwa and Hikari clans? Wouldn't you have thought that he'd kill you?"
I shook my head. "Krad wasn't a monster all of the time. He could be...calm...and he did have feelings...some of the time. When Krad really cares about someone, he does tend to be a bit...rough." Here I paused and smiled a bit. "But I did love him.
Just like I love you, Satoshi-kun." I looked at him.
He looked startled, just as startled as I was when I saw the tears in his eyes. Satoshi, calm and collected, had a breaking point after all. I put my arms around him and let him cry silently. Satoshi was still human, despite his attitude and blue hair and eyes. I loved him as I had never loved before. His shoulders shook with sobs that he tried to muffle. I held him and rocked back and forth, waiting patiently for him to stop crying.
The truth was, we'd both changed in the few weeks we'd known each other. The roots of my hair were turning black to their natural color: blue.

Ever-changing
After the adrenaline
We experience a calm.
Things probably changed,
For better or for worse.
If things go as planned,
We remain the same
Though changed in small ways.
When events turn,
We change in ways
We never expected.
But,
Big or small,
We are ever-changing.
