"What the hell did you do to us?" The older brunet yelled, anger etched into his features. The smaller boy was now hidden behind him.

"I'm sorry," Cloud said, "but could you -"

His was cut off by Riku's cool words, "I think I just saved your lives." He gestured to the car fading in the distance that had ran over the exact spot they were standing only seconds after the transformation.

"Riku," Cloud tried.

"Think again." The man spat out viscously, ignoring Cloud.

"Why you ungrateful -"

"RIKU!" the blond yelled, having finally lost his temper. "In case you haven't noticed, we are in very deep trouble! You know very well that we're not allowed to used magic on Humans!"

The smaller brunet snaked his head out from behind the older man. "Humans?" he said puzzled, "you guys aren't Human?"

Both Riku and Cloud had a look of horror on their faces before the older man spoke. "What are you talking about, Sora? Of course they're Human." Just as he finished saying the last word, they all noticed a shadow over all of them.

Before any of them could react, they were picked up by two caped men and taken into a deserted alley. They were gently placed on the ground and the much larger men sat on either side.

Riku looked up at the man in front of him. He had piercing red eyes and long black hair that fell down to his waist. "Vincent," he said and turned to up look at the longhaired brunet behind him, with violet eyes and his hair tied into a ponytail. "Irvine," he addressed him, "what are you guys doing here?"

"You just shot our assignment to hell," Vincent responded calmly, but dangerously. "What do you think we are doing here?"

"Whoa there, Vinny," Irvine said, eyeing Sora and his older friend. "At least they aren't dead, there's gotta be a way to change them back."

Cloud joined the conversation, "But how? Fairy magic isn't supposed to be used on Humans. It's not designed for them. It's a miracle they survived the transformation. They might not survive any more magic."

"Our time is up Vince. We have to change back." Irvine said and muttered a spell, which brought them to their normal height. "Finally, I can stretch my wings," he groaned, and pulled off his cape. He unfolded his wings that matched the colour of his eyes and flew over to stand beside Vincent.

"They aren't Humans." The older man said surprised, from beside Sora.

Sora looked interested and his friend looked highly confused. "Squall, they're angels."

Everyone's attention was now on the small spiky haired brunet, who looked on in awe. "Close kid," Irvine said, "We're Fairies."

Sora took a step closer admiring Irvine's wings, "Wow, they're so pretty." He suddenly looked up into Irvine's violet eyes. "Can I touch them?"

Irvine chuckled and everyone else looked horrified, "You can touch me anywhere you want any time you want, baby."

But as the blushing teen reached out to stroke one of Irvine's wings, Vincent roughly pulled the Fairy out of the kid's reach. The black haired Fairy stalked up to the confused Sora and looked down at him, baring his fangs and waving his sharp golden claw, which replaced his left hand, in front of the younger boy's face.

"Touch him," he growled, "and I'll rip you're limbs from you're body piece by piece and drink your blood." He emphasized his point by using his hand to push Sora to the ground.

"Hey," Riku said as he threw off his own cape and caught Sora under the arms before he hit the ground. "Come on, Vincent," He said using his wings and setting the kid safely on is feet and away from angry Fairy. "He's just a Human. The poor kid doesn't know any better.Aw, Look you scared him." Sora was pulled into a hug by Squall; Riku felt a prang of jealously.

"But Vincent does," Cloud commented. "What are you doing, threatening a Human? We're supposed to be protecting them, not killing and drinking their blood."

Vincent huffed walking back to Irvine and pulling the smaller Fairy into his arms. Irvine rested his head on Vincent's chest, watching the rest of the group. Vincent's claw was wrapped around the younger Fairy's waist and his hand stroking the chestnut hair protectively.

"He had it coming," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "The only one I protect is my mate." Squall and Sora both looked at Vincent, who glared at them. "Filthy Humans," he muttered. "We are leaving. This is your mess, so fix it yourselves."

"What?" Riku gasped from his spot a few feet from Sora and Squall. "You guys gotta help us out, please. Irvine?"

The brunet shrugged within Vincent's tight hold. "Sorry man, I'm with Vince on this one. It is your mess." Without another word from either of them they flew off toward the Fairy village leaving the rest of the group to fend for themselves.
