Fuuko found herself in a room. A very familiar room. Recca's room. Looking around, she noticed that her friend had become very organized. She could not find any spiked stars sticking out of the walls, no magazines and clothes on the floor, nor no scorch marks in the room.

As her gaze lingered around the room, she noticed that she was not alone in the room. There were two other people. A Mohawk mongoloid and a very handsome ice-block.

"God, I'm not supposed to be watching over Domon am I!" Fuuko muttered under her breath. Observing closely, she noticed that her friend, an obsessed one at that, had changed. He seemed to have improved his clothing style. 'Finally,' Fuuko thought to herself. He seemed to have gained more muscles too. His nose ring and outrageous hairstyle still there though.

As she moved her inspection to the iceman, she felt a little tingle in her heart and in her soul. He was definitely her assignment. Just call it angel intuition. The tingle in her heart was an entire different intuition though.

Just as she stopped her daydreaming, she realized that the two boys were walking towards her. 'They can see me!' Fuuko thought, astonished. "I can't let them see me in a dress!" Fuuko mumbled, frantically looking around for a sweater or something to cover herself up. They were approaching closer and closer. Fuuko gulped nervously, thinking of ways to greet them. Then suddenly, she felt a burning sensation as they walked through her.

"What in the---" she yelped. They walked through her! Right through her! She gaped at them.

'Am I intangible?'

Checking herself, she found herself to be very solid indeed. As she continued thinking, she realized that she was alone. Jogging out of the room and down the familiar steps, she found herself in Recca's living room.

The Hokage was there. In addition, to her astonishment so was the Uruha. The moment she entered the room, she noticed that Kagerou looked up from the script that she reading. She looked around the room, as if trying to find something. Then she turned her head towards Fuuko's direction and looked straight into Fuuko's eyes.

Fuuko gave out a small gasp. Of course! Kagerou could see her; well actually sense her since she had the sight!

Recca noticing his mother's abrupt cease in her work, got worried.

"Okaa-san, is something wrong?"

Kagerou broke out into a smile.

"No of course not Recca, it's just that, someone has decided to grace us with her presence."

Then, she continued with her work, leaving everyone else in the room (except for Fuuko), confused about what she had just said. Deciding to make herself comfortable, Fuuko sat herself behind Ganko. She felt the incredible urge to hold Ganko in her arms, but thought better of it incase Ganko could feel her doing so, and freaked out.

Fuuko looked around seeing the people who she once hung out and had fun with, looking seriously grim. She looked at every one of them, remembering memories of the past. Recca, Domon, Ganko, Yanagi, Kaoru, Kagerou, Joker, Neon, Kurei and Tokiya.

Fuuko looked at him for slightly longer than the rest. She had always admired him. Ever since the mirror house incident. The closer she got to him, the more her admiration turned into love. Yet, she never did confess her love since she knew that she wasn't good enough for him. 'What he needs is a pretty, kind and gentle girl like Yanagi,' she had constantly told herself that, and sooner or later, she had tried to push back her feeling towards him and acted indifferently.

She remembered the time where she had set him on a date with a friend of hers, and how he returned with a different gleam in his eyes. A happy one. Something she had never seen before. It hurt her, but she acted the same. In the end, she almost completely blocked her feelings for him off, except for a few times where her mind would just innocently pop up some dreams...

Her attention snapped back to focus when she realized that Recca had slammed the table with his fist. Fuuko scolded herself for not paying attention before listening carefully to the heated conversation. Recca was currently yelling.

"What do you mean that we can't fight back!" he yelled to his mother. Kagerou looked at him wearily and sympathetically before answering.

"It's no use. Your madougus or flames will not affect him in anyway."

"Then we can use normal combat!"

"It will not be effective. He has the powers of darkness that are strong and getting stronger day by day. Your combat skills, no matter how good they are, are no use!"

"Then we'll just fight him all together!"

"Recca! It is no use! You cannot fight against something that is intangible!"

"Then you don't expect me to just give it and Yanagi up, do you?"

"Of course not Recca. But you can't just run headlong into a fight you can't win"

"Well, if I don't start the fight, he will! The letter in front of you, tells it all! So it's all the same!"

With his final retort, Recca banged his fist again and stormed out of the room. Kagerou sighed and looked down onto the floor. Yanagi ran after her ninja. The rest of the group slowly left. Fuuko wanted to follow them out, but she wanted more to find out what was going on. And in order to do that, she needed to talk to the one who could sense her. Kagerou.

Fuuko tentatively took a small step to the woman. One small step after another. She didn't really want to bother the sad woman, but her curiosity to find out about everything was greater. All of a sudden, Kagerou looked up. Sapphire orbs met dark ones. Kagerou gave her a small smile before opening her mouth to speak.

"Fuuko, nice to see you again. How has it been?"

"Well except from the shock of finding out I was dead, everything has been just fine."

Kagerou looked fondly at her before continuing the conversation.

"So, I suppose there is a reason for why you are back?"

"Yes, amazingly, I turned up in heaven---"

"What's so astonishing about you turning up in heaven? You should know pure spirits get into heaven automatically. Since you are the master of Fuu----"

"Yes, yes, I know. I had the same sermon from Mifuyu."

"Mifuyu? Isn't that Tokiya's sister?"

"Somehow she seems to be my boss."

"I see. I presume you are also an angel now?"

"Yeah. A guardian angel. I'm here to protect you guys and watch over someone."

"Oh. And who is that someone?"

"Mikagami Tokiya."

"Well, it's nice to see you again. You had everyone grieving over you for months, young lady."

"I'm sorry." Fuuko said, a small smile dancing on her lips.

She looked at Kagerou with an expression of extreme solemnity, eyeing her carefully; Fuuko once again opened her mouth to speak.

"What's going on?"
