My Guardian Angel II: Runaway Angel

--By SunFireVixen--

Chapter 9: Curiosity

The snow outside had gotten rougher. Wind picked up the attacking snowflakes and hurled them at cars. The sound of whistling wind was heard as the night came near, and they whacked at the windows.

Sincerity closed her eyes as Kai turned off the lights from the room. Kai walked silently towards the living room, and collapsed into the couch. He lazily turned off the light on the table, and pulled up his covers. He buried his face into his pillow and dozed off.

However, Sincerity was the only one in the house who was not asleep.

Claude wrapped his wings tighter around Mika, who had fallen asleep a while ago. The blood had disappeared, but the pain in his chest grew.

The feeling of her in his arms made him feel like flying higher than the clouds themselves.

However, this feeling… also brought many memories…

He shook his head.

I have to get rid of her.

Yet, he held her tighter, afraid of her leaving. Mika slept silently, and shivered. Claude let the heat in his body travel to his wings. He pulled up the brown blanket.

My past does not matter anymore.

She needs help, and I will help her, and give her all I have- all I am worth.

He covered her, and closed his eyes.

"Well… I thought we were here to find little Miss Runaway."

His eyes shot open, and he looked up at the female angel he knew all too well.

She stared at the male angel and then at the street girl. She bent down, and took a closer look. She smiled. "You were the first to shoot down here and offer to return her to Heaven. I see you decided to take a detour."

Claude glared at her smirk. "I'll get rid of her then return back with the escaped angel's memories," he growled up at her.

Her smirk grew and she inched closer to him. She whispered into his ear, "There are obstacles that will get in your way, and you will fail to return."

She stood up, and held out her hand. "And since you will, why not be so kind as to give me the memories? I'll make sure they return back safely to Heaven."

Claude snorted. "You're still after His forgiveness. How long did it take you to track her down and discover she doesn't have her memories?"

The female angel glared down at Claude. "That is none of your business- now give me the memory."

"Are you commanding me?"

"It is certainly not a request."

"I'm of a higher rank-"

"I don't care! I'll ask you this nicely one more time-"

Claude laughed. "Are you sure you want to threat a higher agent?"

"Of course not, only simply warn," she said through clenched teeth.

"Leave, I don't have time to deal with your nonsense," Claude replied, and closed his eyes again. "Be to you foretold that our conversation will be known to everyone once I return."

Her eyes widened, and she clenched her fists. Her wings burst open, and she flew away.

He sighed with relief. Last time he had to deal with her, it had not ended well. This time… he was lucky.

The snow was growing stronger, and if he did not move somewhere else, Mika would freeze. He stared down at her pained face before standing up, carrying Mika in his arms.

She squirmed, and her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at him questioningly with hazy eyes. He did not respond, instead, wrapped the blanket tighter around her body, and opened his wings. She shivered, and leaned into him.

He took off.

The snow and wind combined pushed him back, and Mika clutched Claude's uniform tightly.

At last, he landed in an alley, where he sat Mika gently on the ground.

She rubbed her eyes, and closed them. Claude stared at her for a moment.

He wrapped his arms around her, and sat her on his lap. Mika opened her eyes lazily once again.

She buried her face into his inside shirt, and Claude wrapped his heavy wings around her.

The quantity of the feathers on his wings grew, and he sent all his body heat to his wings. Mika peacefully slept, but Claude stayed up all night, looking after Mika as she slept.

I just buried myself deeper into this problem… how am I supposed to leave now?

Sincerity yawned as she stretched.

She crept out of bed, her long nightgown barely touching the floor. She walked towards the living room, where Kai slept, stretched out on the sofa.

She sat down on her knees, looking up at him, in front of his face.

He slept soundlessly, and she listened to his deep breaths.

She leaned closer, staring up at his lips, which remained slightly parted. She closed her eyes and softly pressed her own pink lips against his in a soft kiss.

Kai's eyebrows furrowed together, and she quickly stood up to run into the kitchen.

His eyes opened lazily, and he opened them fully just in time to see Sincerity's light brown hair whip around the door to the kitchen.

He thought he felt something touch his mouth, and he sat up. He folded his blankets, fixed the cushions, and walked towards the kitchen.

When he entered the kitchen, Kai saw no one there. He turned around, and he was surprised when he saw Sincerity there, her head down, her light brown hair covering her face.

Kai stepped closer, reaching to push her hair away from her face. "Sincerity, are you okay-?"

She looked up at him, a cute blush on her face. She stepped away, hands waving in the air, "Yes! Very… okay!"

She smiled, and turned to run to Kai's room. He heard her lock the door frantically.

'What was that all about?' Kai wondered, as he put his hand down and stared down at the floor.

'Maybe she doesn't…'

Kai remembered about the day before, and the sudden kiss.

'...Two, actually.'

He smiled, and stepped into the living room again. He stared at the door Sincerity hid.

'Maybe she really doesn't…really… feel anything…'

Could have it all been an accident? Just that…? A simple kiss?

A kiss… with no meaning?

Kai stared worriedly at the door, and he grabbed the doorknob. He turned it, but he remembered that she had locked it.

"Sincerity?" Kai asked, pressing his ear to the door.

He heard a small "Meep!", then silence.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"There's nobody in here!"

Kai smiled. "I'll…I'll be in the kitchen whenever you need… food."

He sadly walked back to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator to plan his breakfast.

---

Why am I… acting like this?

There is no need to avoid him… he didn't do anything bad.

I am not mad at him. I am not…afraid of him.

Well…

Sincerity clutched the covers she hid in tighter.

It's not like that…it's more like…

Embarrassed? Timid?

Sincerity shook her head, and threw the covers away from her.

She was going to find out.

She stood up, and opened the door. She stomped into the kitchen, and her face reddened when he saw Kai, his back to her, mixing something.

The spiky navy-blue hair on his neck looked so soft; she was tempted to poke it. Even his ears looked cute.

Kai seemed to sense her presence, and he turned his head halfway to give her a sideways glance.

"Hey- Sincerity, you want pancake?"

She backed away, only to meet the wall behind her. Kai only came closer, and her face slowly heated up every time he took a step.

She could not hear his voice; she concentrated on him, on his face, as he came closer.

"You feel okay? Your whole face is red- maybe you're getting a fever-"

Sincerity almost collapsed when he placed his hand on her forehead.

Well, at least she knew that she was extremely shy of him.

Vixen: ... short, I know.

And it's like, two days late...-sob- Gomen...

Since the whole Login area in is javascript, it wouldn't work, and act all sucky-ish.

And yes, i'm stalling here, because once again I am running out of ideas. -nervous grin-

I'll try to get serious with the story, because it seems like the giant writer's block I had for like, two weeks or something sucked everything out of me.

I'll update on saturday, hopefully I don't have too much homework the first days of school that will start in- -counts on fingers- -three days.

Well, no more of my useless ranting, please review! Just push the little button below... it will make the person you hate most explode. -grin-
