Fuuko opened her eyes, only to be blinded by a bright white light. She opened her eyes again. After getting used to the light, she looked around to find herself in a huge room. The room was white. Just like everything thing else in it. Then she noticed one more person at the far end of the room. The person looked familiar. Awfully familiar. Fuuko squinted. She knew that face.

"Yanagi?" she yelled, before running towards Yanagi.

Yanagi looked at her, a beautiful smile on her face. "No, I'm not Yanagi."

Fuuko stared at the Yanagi look-alike, thinking to herself. If this wasn't Yanagi...then who could she be...? Then it hit her.

"Mifuyu?"

Mifuyu smiled and nodded her head.

"But...that can't be! I mean-no offence-but you're, well, dead. So-how can I be seeing you right in front of me-unless-unless-oh no, don't tell me I'm-I'm dead?" Fuuko croaked out the last few words.

Mifuyu frowned at her words.

"Don't you remember?"

Fuuko looked at her confused. "Remember what?"

"How you left the living world?"

Fuuko's mind seemed to be incredibly slow in absorbing the words spoken. How could she be dead...? It was only that morning when she had sent Ganko to school, only last night where she had hung out with the rest of her friends, only a few hours ago where she had battled Raiha....The battle!

Mifuyu noticed that Fuuko had finally recalled.

Fuuko stood there, mouth slightly opened as in her mind, she saw herself battling Raiha.

Raijin piercing into Raiha's neck- taking over him- .she avoiding the lightning- and finally defeating Raijin- in the process, killing Raiha.

She saw herself crying over Raiha, then struggling to get to Recca's before she could pass out. She saw herself at Recca's house; at death's door, he saw her loved ones crying over her, her quiet funeral.

The same scenes kept on replaying in her head, over and over again, unmerciful to let her forget. She finally escaped from it when Mifuyu spoke again.

"Fuuko? You okay? I know it's kind of tough, but you got to get over it..."

Fuuko gazed wearily at Mifuyu. "How long has it been...since I died?"

"4 months."

Fuuko stared at Mifuyu; eyes wide open in shock and mouth hanging open.

"Yeah...it has been quite long."

Fuuko stood there, letting her brain absorb everything that had happened to her. It all seemed unbelievable. Too weird. Finding out that she's dead, then meeting Tokiya's dead sister in....wait a minute-where was she???

As if reading her mind, "You're in heaven," Mifuyu informed her.

Fuuko would have burst out laughing if the situation wasn't so serious. To think that of all people, SHE would end up in heaven!

"Fuuko..."

"Yeah?"

"Well, the reason why you are here, with me is that the Higher Authority is offering you a proposal. You can go back down to the world of the living, as a guardian angel."

Fuuko gaped at Mifuyu. She being in Heaven was comical, but she being an angel? It was downright hilarious! "Are you sure...they want me...?"

Mifuyu smiled at her doubt. "Yes. You seem to be the best choice for this job. In fact, the person you have to watch over is close to you. He seems to be in quite a difficult situation. Someone is currently after him. Someone that he would not to be able to protect himself against...someone who even the Hokage can't beat. But they can, if you are there with them. So would you please help them?"

"Sure, but how can I be the one to help them?"

"You are special Fuuko. Madougus also have spirits. These spirits, the good ones, choose only the pure of heart and soul to be their masters. There are plenty of qualities needed before they fully accept you as their rightful master. For Fuujin to pick you, you must be very extraordinary Fuuko Kirisawa. We are sure that you can help them. Don't you wonder why you ended up in Heaven? Because of the goodness you possess."

Fuuko's blushed meekly. She had never before been praised so highly.

"I will be delighted to accept the mission. But who do I have to help them win against?"

"I'm sorry Fuuko, but I can't tell you that. You have to find that out by yourself."

Fuuko pouted at her response. "Then who am I suppose to help?"

Mifuyu smiled slyly. "You will find out soon enough...But for now, rest. You will leave for the living world in a few hours. Why don't you rest here first and I'll come to get you when it's time to leave."

The room magically produced a big comfy bed and some sources of entertainment. Fuuko gawked at the transformed room.

Mifuyu saw her and smirked slightly. "Heaven's not all ancient you know. See you later." She left. Well actually, she shimmered away.

Wonder whether I can do that...Fuuko wondered to herself. She jumped onto her bed and turned on her big screen TV. "I can get used to this place...." Fuuko murmured to herself as she felt herself entering dreamland.

Fuuko was dreaming that she was in the warm embrace of a certain tall, handsome man, when she felt someone tapping her lightly, returning her back to the real world....no...Heaven.

Fuuko raised her head groggily to find Mifuyu trying to control her giggles. "I see you've been dreaming about my brother."

Fuuko turned a bright magenta. "You can see my dreams too?!"

"Yes, it's a special ability of angels. You have special abilities since you've become one too. You will find them all out by yourself later on. Now follow me, you have to go," Mifuyu informed her.

Fuuko got up and followed Mifuyu till they reached a big golden gate. "This separates Heaven from the world of the living. The moment you step out, you will be automatically be transported to where you are supposed to be. Now remember, you cannot contact me when you reach the world of the living, but I can contact you. I'll be there if you need help. And also you would need a change in clothes."

Fuuko's jean shorts and green tank top changed into a sleeveless dress that reached her knees. And of course like everything else, it was white.

Before she could protest about how she wanted to wear her old clothes and not a dress, Fuuko found herself being pushed gently forward. Before being transported, she turned around to see Mifuyu giving her a smile of encouragement.

"Fuuko, please save my brother..." Mifuyu whispered as the purple-haired girl faded away.
