Chapter Six

The next day, Shizuru and Yukina took Angela shopping. "What type of clothes are you into?" Shizuru asked as they walked through town.

"Oh plaid, leather, fishnet, camo, skater. Pretty much 'freak' clothes, as most people say," Angela replied, eyes lighting up as she listed off her favorite type of clothing.

Shizuru nodded, "That's what I thought, when I looked at your pants, boots and accessories."

"Yeah, after the attack, the only things salvagable were my jewelry, and my pants and panties," Angela said, blushing as she remembered having to ask Kurama to wash them before they left to Koenma's.

"Well, you'll have to forego getting that type of clothing," Shizuru said. "Since you're mostly going to be training, practical clothing would be best." Shizuru saw the disappointed look. "But hey, I think some leather pants, and a few of your favorite shirts will be okay."

Angela's eyes instantly lit up again at that. "Thanks."

It was midday when they came home with six pairs of tight jeans, three blue, two black, and one white, three tank tops, neon green, neon orange and neon pink, two tight long sleeved shirts, one black and one dark purple, a fishnet shirt, a black spagetti strap shirt, black leather pants, two plaid pants, green and purple, seven pairs of socks, seven panties, seven bras, a pair of white tennis shoes, and a pair of pajamas. Not to mention make up.

"Thanks again," Angela said as the walked up the long flight of stairs. "But I didn't mean to cost you so much."

"It's fine, besides Koenma is paying for it." Shizuru said.

"Oh."

When they reached the top of the stairs, they met a group of men fighting with each other. Angela was wondering why the other two women weren't afraid like she was. Yukina walked forward and bowed to a tall red haired man that was fighting a short blue haired man. "Hello Jin, Touya," she said respectfully.

The two stopped and bowed. "Hello Yukina," they said in unison.

Yukina went to the next two fighting each other, a giant of a man with a blue mohawk and a child with three stars under his left eye. Yukina again bowed. "Hello Chu, Rinku."

"Hello!" the boy replied cheerfully.

"Hi sheila!" the tall man said.

Yukina walked over to where a tall blonde man was fighting something that Angela thought looked like a cross between a bat, cat and a rat. Yukina bowed. "Hello Suzuka, Shishiwakamaru."

"Hello," the two said. The blue...thing...(-What the hell is it?- Angela thought) took a perch on the blonde man's shoulder. "We didn't mean to intrude," the blonde man said, "We were told by Mukuro to come train."

"That's okay Suzuka. We have plenty of room, even with Angela and Hiei staying here," Yukina assured him.

"Angela?" the red head said, with an Irish or Scotish accent. Angela could never tell the difference between the two.

Yukina put her hand to her mouth. "Oh! I haven't introduced you." She walked back to Angela and Shizuru. She grabbed Angela's hand and pulled her forward. "This is Angela. Angela, this is Jin." Yukina said pointing to the red head.

"Hello," he said cheerfully, long ears wriggling.

Yukina pointed to the short man, "Touya."

"How do you do, miss." Touya bowed politely.

Yukina pointed to the tall man, "Chu."

"Hello sheila," he said, giving Angela a big smile.

Yukina pointed to the kid, "Rinku."

"Hiya," Rinku chirped.

Yukina then pointed to the blonde, "Suzuka"

"My pleasure," Suzuka said elegantly, taking Angela's hand briefly and bowing over it.

Yukina then gestured to the thing on Suzuka's shoulder, "And Shishiwakamaru."

"Hello miss," the thing said.

"Um...Hi..." was all Angela could get out before Yusuke came running up the stairs.

"Hey guys! Long time no see," he said cheerfully to the group of fighters.

As Yusuke started socializing, Yukina went to start lunch and Shizuru dragged Angela inside. "Let's get you dressed up," she said mischeviousely.

"What?" Angela asked confused.

"Oh come now. Some of Demon World's most eligible bachelors are going to eat with us. Don't you want to look your best?" Shizuru asked smiling.

"Uhh..." Angela wasn't sure if she was up to flirting so soon after her ordeal but she doubted she had a choice as Shizuru continued to drag her to her room.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thirty minutes later, Angela came out of her room dressed in her new leather pants, her purple shirt, which had a low neckline, and her studded leather belt. She had her normal accessories on: her white leather wrist cuff, her black bead bracelet, and her moonstone choker. Shizuru had done her makeup, soft shades of purple and green around her eyes, pale pink on her cheeks and chapstick, 'to make your lips look kissable without overdoing the makeup' as Shizuru said. Shizuru also did her hair, using mousse she feathered the girl's hair and spiked the edges.

"There. My personal experiment," she said joking after she had finished.

"Uh...thanks," Angela said, going back one more time to look at herself in the mirror in her room.

"Oh don't get too happy, it's not over yet," Shizuru said, eyes sparkling mischeviously. "Yukina and Botan haven't had their turns," she said smiling.

They walked back into the big room, where the boys had moved their training, Yusuke and Hiei, who had shown up while the two were in Angela's room, joining them. Shizuru cleared her throat. Jin and Touya, who had been nearest, stopped and turned in their direction. The two men's jaws dropped. The others, noticing Jin and Touya had stopped, turned around. Everyones mouth dropped, with the exception of Hiei, though his eyes did widen.

"Holy..." Yusuke started.

Angela blushed. "C'mon Yusuke, you've known me how long? You should expect this by now."

"Well..." he said, his hand behind his head.

"Aye, but we not be used to it..." Jin said, long ears wiggling. That caught Angela's eye.

She took a second glance at the guys. -Are they demons?- "Um...can I ask a question?" she asked hesitantly.

"Sure sheila," Chu said.

"Are you all demons?" she asked even more hesitantly, fearing that she might have offended some of them.

"You betcha," Rinku said cheerfully.

"Wow, the only ones that I was sure were demons were Jin and...Shishi...Shishi...I'm sorry but I can't pronounce your name," she said as she looked at the blue little imp. The rest laughed as Shishiwakamaru growled.

"Try Shishi-Waka- Maru. Slowly," Yusuke said, laughing.

"Shishi-Waka-Maru," Angela tried. "Wow. A mouthful. Can I call you Shishi?"

The little demon just growled some more, taking his perch on Suzuka's shoulder. "Sure, you wouldn't mind would you Shishi," Suzuka said with a smile. Shishi looked away, grumbling.

"Hn, lets get back to training. That's why you're here," Hiei said to the men.

Yusuke stood apart, looking at Angela. "Hey, what happened to the bandages?" he asked.

Shizuru spoke up. "Kurama left instructions about that. He said she didn't need the bandages any more but she should still apply the healing paste. Don't worry." Shizuru looked at her watch. "Well I leave you kidos alone. Gotta go to work now. Play nice," she said, walking out of the shrine, waving a hand.

"Bye Shizuru," Angela said.

Yusuke was still staring at Angela, which was making her uncomfortable. Memories of when she was attacked came back to him. -She didn't even put up a fight,- he thought. -Well, we'll fix that.- "Hey Angela, come over here," Yusuke called. Angela walked over to him. "How 'bout I start your training," he said.

"In what?" she asked, curious.

"In fighting. Hiei why don't you help," Yusuke called to a listening Hiei.

"Hn," was all he said as he joined them. He too had been thinking the same as Yusuke so he didn't mind training a novice in fighting.

For two hours, Hiei and Yusuke taught Angela how to duck and block various punches and kicks, and even how to throw a few punches.

"Nice!" Yusuke said as he ducked a right hook. "You have a good arm on you."

Hiei threw a left punch and Angela blocked it with her left arm. "No," Hiei reprimanded. "What did I say? If you can duck it, duck it. You also leave yourself open when you block, you need to learn not to do that" Hiei kicked her feet out from under her, however, he caught her before she could fall. "Once you heal, I won't catch you anymore and you'll have to learn to be able to recover quickly and attack your opponent."

Angela just huffed. Her wounds started throbbing. "I think I need a breather," she managed to say through a raspy throat.

Yusuke took pity on her, saying, "I think we've had enough for today."

Yukina came in then. "If you all are finished. Lunch is ready."

"Aw goody. What you be makin' for the past few hours?" Jin asked, ears wiggling.

Yukina smiled. "It's a surprise."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Wowee..." Jin sighed, leaning back from the table. "Now that was a feast..." He burped. "Ah pardon me." Touya nodded his agreement. Rinku was still gobbling down food, and Chu was contentedly drunk. Suzuka and Shishi were eating politely, they hadn't gobbled down their food like Jin, Rinku and Chu, however, they didn't have only two plates like Touya. Yusuke was alternatively talking and eating. He was going on about how school was terrible to Jin. Hiei was silent as he ate his share. Angela and Yukina talked about their lives.

"...So you see," Yukina said. "I've been looking for my brother this whole time. I still believe he's out there somewhere."

"I hope you find him," Angela said. "I'm sure that he'll be a great person. After all he's related to you and you're one of the nicest people I have met. And what you've told me about your mom, she sounds like she was a great person as well." Hiei finished his meal and left. Angela watched him leave. -Is it my imagination, or did he looked disturbed?- "Where is he going?" she asked.

Yusuke looked up. "Uh...He's always like that."

"He didn't seem like that in school," she said.

"Because he was undercover and had to get close to you. So he couldn't be his anti-social self," Yusuke replied.

"Ah..." was all she said.

Rinku finally finished his meal. He burped loudly. Chu hit him on the head. "Hey! What was that for?" Rinku cried.

"Say 's'cuz meh'," Chu said, drunkenly.

"I was about to!" Rinku said indignantly. Angela laughed to herself. That brought Rinku's attention. "Hey, I've been meaning to ask you somethin'." Angela nodded, giving him the Ok to ask. "What are you? You're not demon, but your energy doesn't feel like human."

Angela looked at Yusuke. Yusuke shrugged. "I guess it's okay to tell them."

"Well, I'm an Angel," she said.

Silence fell through out the room. Everyone besides Yusuke and Yukina looked at each other, then looked at her. Rinku spoke first. "Uhh..What's an Angel? Is it like one of those bird people the humans think watch over them?"

"Uh..." Angela looked to Yusuke. He shrugged again. "Well...from what I've been told, yeah..." she said, unsure herself what an Angel was exactly.

Yukina spoke up, surprising everyone. "I've heard of the Angels." Everyone looked at her. "It's a legend in my homeland."

Yukina closed her eyes, repeating an old story. "They say that once there was a beautiful race of people with silver wings and silver hair. Where they lived was like heaven on Earth, everything they did was with grace and beauty. Whatever they touched, no matter how evil, would turn into something beautiful and good. All the races respected them, some even worshipped them. However, the Angels never demanded worship, in fact, they prefered being considered equals with all races. They were a peaceful race. They never engaged in any kind of combat. They didn't need to, no other race wanted to harm them. Despite their refusal to fight, they did manipulate powerful energies. Some refered to it as 'magic'. Whatever it was, it was never used to fight with anyone, except one time. One day, an Elder of the Koorime left to investigate the going ons in the rest of the world. This sometimes happened when there were strange reports of things going on on the surface. She came back with a terrifying tale. The worlds were being consumed by a dark force. No matter what anyone did, they could not fight it. She ordered everyone to stay in their homes and pray that this force would not reach us. That's what everyone did for a month. Then one day there was a loud thunderclap, and a strong strange vibration spread through out the Land of Ice. The Elders walked out of their houses and looked into the sky. A great light, almost like an aurora borealis but silver, was spreading through the sky. After it covered the whole sky, it started to dissipate and fall down onto the land, like snow, dissappearing into the ground." Yukina's eyes started to water. "An Elder went to the surface. She came back, this time with a sad tale. The darkness was fought back and sealed away. The Angels were the ones that had done it, but at the price of their lives." A single tear fell, crystalizing as it hit the table. "The thunderclap, and the vibration, was the Angels final powerful blast of their energy. The silver light, was their seal, their life, given to protect the worlds." She opened her eyes, and looked at the hiruseki stone. She picked it up, and handed it to Angela. "The Koorime have dedicated that day as a day of celebration and mourning, so each year we shed one tear each in remembrance of that beautiful race. And when ever we tell the story, it's respectful to shed a tear as well." Yukina smiled. "There's a happy ending. The Elder told of how the Angels had done a ritual that would hopefully ensure the return of their race." She gave Angela a hug and held on tight, saying, "And they have returned." Angela hugged her back.

"Wowee...I've traveled far but never heard 'bout this," Jin said, whistling.

Yusuke shook his head. "Neither have I, and some of Raizen's pals are pretty old, and they loved to tell stories around a campfire at night."

"You wouldn't have heared anything about them," a familiar voice said. Everyone looked towards the doorway. In walked Koenma. "After all, it happened 4000 yrs ago. Campfire stories usually deal with recent old stuff, in the case of humans the timeline goes 20 or 30 years back. For demons, the timeline goes back as far as 500 years. Unless you're talking to someone who was there, rarely are you going to get a tale about something that happened a 1000 years ago." Koenma looked over to Yukina. "I was begining to wonder if anyone besides the higher ups of Spirit World remembered anything about that time." Koenma shrugged. "Though even the higher ups of Spirit World only know about them and that they dissappeared 4000 yrs ago. I spent weeks in the library, looking from old log books to fairy tales, and I only managed to scrounge up the little bit of info I told you yesterday," Koenma said, taking Hiei's seat. "Do you think the Koorime have this story written down?" Koenma asked.

Yukina thought for a second. "I...think so. Why?"

"I just need more information about the Angels and the dark force they were fighting," was his semi-evasive answer.

Yusuke's eyes narrowed. "What's going through your head Koenma?" he asked suspiciously.

Koenma looked at the table for a second. He lifted his eyes and gave Yusuke a hard look. "I think the darkness that the 'Angels' sealed away along time ago, is connected to the shadow creatures we're facing today."

"Wait a minute," Suzuka interrupted. "What 'shadow creatures'?"

Koenma looked the others in the face, trying to decide if they should know or not. He sighed. "Well, I guess I should tell you."

Angela stood. "Kurama already told me, I think I'll pass."

"Sure," Koenma said. He turned to the others. "Now where do I start..."

Angela walked outside, thinking to herself. -Am I really what they say I am?- She walked to the little pond beside the shrine. -I don't feel very powerful, and I know I'm not graceful, or beautiful. Pretty maybe, but beautiful?- She sat by the pond, looking into it. Out reflected green eyes, a pale face, and black hair. Angela looked closer, there was something else there, something playing behind her reflection. -What?- /Screams. Death. Shadows./ -What am I seeing? - /Silver feathers. Colorful lights. Green, yellow, red, blue, and purple./ -Is this the past?- /Shouts of triumph. The shadows recede. Smiles./ -It must be the past.- /A terrible prophecy. Sacrifice. Sealing./ -What terrible prophecy?- The images in the pond faded and were replaced by a black fog. Angela leaned closer trying to see past the darkness. The water errupted and something grabbed on to Angela, dragging her under. "AHHHHH!" Angela screamed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So now you see?" Koenma asked as he finished. He looked at the others, and fell over. The only ones not asleep were Touya, Suzuka, Shishi, and Yukina. "Why did I even bother!" he said aggravatedly.

Suddenly there was a scream. Everyone sat up. Yusuke jumped up, shouting "Angela!" Everyone ran outside.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So how'd your first day back go?" Kuwabara asked Kurama as they walked up the stairs to the shrine.

Kurama smiled. "It went well. In fact the students celebrated my return. My sub was apparently a tyrant."

"AHHHHH!" The two men looked at each other, then ran up the stairs, Kurama grabbing a rose from out of his hair and turning it into whip. Kuwabara, a few steps behind, materializing an energy sword from his right hand.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiei walked through the woods, trapped in his own thoughts. "AHHHHH!" a female screamed. Hiei stopped. He turned and ran back to the shrine, pulling out his sword, not sure which he feared worse, Yukina being the one that screamed, or Angela.

He was there in a heartbeat. Angela was by the pond and being dragged under the water by dark arms. Hiei leaped forward, grabbed Angela by the waist with his left arm and sliced the dark arms with his sword, then quickly leaped back.

Yusuke and the rest of the lunch buddies including Koenma ran to the pond in time to see Hiei leap to Angela. Kurama and Kuwabara ran to the pond in time to see Hiei leap back with Angela. Everyone saw the figure rise up from the water. It screeched, "I AM COMING BACK! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! HELL SHALL REIGN ON ALL OF THE WORLDS ONCE AGAIN!" Then the figure dissolved back into water with a splash.

"Angela!" Yukina cried as she rushed towards the unconcious girl held in Hiei's arms.

Hiei gently put her on the ground. She was pale, her lips turning blue. Kurama rushed to her, and checked her pulse on her neck, then he laid his head on her chest. He sat up shaking his head. "She's not breathing. We need to performe CPR." Kurama started to press on her chest. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. He then tilted her head back and breathed into her mouth.

He sat back up, "Okay, Hiei, when I stop breathing into her mouth, do this," he started to push on her chest again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. "Okay?" Hiei nodded.

Kurama breathed back into Angela's mouth. When he paused he said. "Now." Hiei pressed on her chest. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Kurama breathed into Angela's mouth. Hiei pressed. They did this several times, and Kurama was starting to lose hope. Then Angela coughed, water coming out of her mouth. Kurama quickly turned her over. Everyone let out the breath they had been holding. Hiei sat by, a dark look in his eyes. Kurama patted Angela's back as she continued to cough up water. "That's it. Get it out of your system," he said quietly and soothingly.

"I didn't think the pond was deep enough to drown in," Yusuke said.

"It doesn't take that much," Kurama said, still patting Angela's back. "Besides, I don't think she was being pulled into the 'pond', I think she was being pulled through a portal into another dimension." Angela started to shake as she emptied her stomach onto the grass. "It's ok. It's ok." Kurama said soothingly. He turned to Yukina. "Can you get a warm bath ready?" Yukina nodded and rushed into the house addition. "Shh. Shhh," Kurama leaned over and pulled Angela to him, holding her as she shook and cried. Kurama looked over to Hiei and saw the weird look Hiei was giving Angela. "Thank you Hiei," Kurama said. Hiei just nodded slightly, then he was gone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Twenty minutes later, Angela, dressed in her new black pajamas, was tucked in her bed with Kurama sitting beside her, holding her hand, as she told him about the vision she had. "It was terrible at the end. Before the 'Sacrifice' there was some terrible prophecy. I don't know what exactly it was, but the feeling I got from it made my skin crawl." She paused, her breath shaky. Kurama handed her a glass of warm tea. She took a sip. "And then the water went dark, like there was a fog over the visions. I leaned closer and...and..." She started sobbing. Kurama pulled her to him and held her again as she cried. Finally she calmed down enough to hiccup out, "It was so dark and terrifying, like there was no light and happiness, just darkness and torment."

Koenma, standing outside the door along with Yusuke, nodded. "Now I know I definately have to get a hold of the records the Koorime have," he said softly. "C'mon, Yusuke. There's not much we can do here. Let's go talk to Yukina."
