A/N: Gah! Two days late! Sorry about that! I didn't get much time to write the last two days. By the way, no one's told me what they think of the angels I came up with. I know you didn't get to see much of them, but still...
Anyway, reviews!

Sister-Rosette-Christopher -- Thank you!

Fuoco Annerito -- Thanks! I'm glad I was able to keep him in character. And, yes, you did spell tomorrow right.

MisoGirl -- Ah, good.

neko56 -- Good. It's not easy to make a fight scene easy to follow.

raspberrysorbet -- Sorry about the rushed thing, but I have to get this story done in twenty chapters or I'll never finish it (I need a chapter cap).

Pooch -- Eep! I knew I forgot someone! Well, here she is!

Zeke let out a frustrated sigh as the phone kept ringing and ringing on the other end with still no answer. His fingers drummed on the wall. Finally he slammed the phone onto the cradle, shaking with fear that something may have happened to his little girl. He and Helen had let Azmaria go over to a friends for a slumber party and now it seemed like that may have been a disastrous mistake.
Dammit, I should have checked on her earlier!
"No answer?" Genai asked.
"No." Zeke answered quietly.
Genai and Viede exchanged glances behind him.
"Want us to go check on her?" The shorter of the two Devils finally asked.
Genai had grown fond of the little Apostle of Charity over the years and was worried about her as well. If anything had happened to her... He didn't want to think about it.
"Please..." The angel begged quietly.
Nodding they left out the window to go check on her, opting for the faster rout of flying instead of walking. He sighed. Shaking himself, Zeke went to go look in on the others. At last check Sebastian and Chrono had been pretty quiet while Ctanna ranted about what she was going to do to Aion when she got her hands on him. Thankfully, neither she nor Helen had been as badly injured as it had at first appeared. Though they wouldn't be doing much for awhile.
Joshua wasn't so lucky. He was still being stitched up and would be in the hospital for over a month afterwards.
In the room Helen and Ctanna were sharing Sebastian was leaning on the wall next to the window looking at the street below. Watching what, Zeke wasn't quite sure. Chrono was in a chair resting against his mother's bed as she stroked his hair while still ranting about what she wanted to do to Aion under her breath. Helen was taking a cue from Chrono and resting.
"Viede and Genai are checking on Azmaria." Zeke told them quietly, trying not to wake the two sleepers.
Four sets of eyes turned to look at him. So much for Helen and Chrono being asleep...
"No one was picking up over there and those two are a lot faster then me right now..."
So many limitations to being in a Human form...
Genai and Viede had initially been attacked at their homes but had led their attackers away and beaten them in short order. At that time Ctanna, Helen, Joshua and Rosette were also being attacked. When Ctanna – being the stronger telepath – had sensed them nearby she had called out for help and they had come. Chrono's ability to block out others was equal to his ability and power send telepathically, so, unfortunately, he hadn't heard the call for help from his mother.
"Well, since you're awake, Helen, I need to talk to you." Zeke said to his wife.
"About what?" She asked.
"Duke Zaizen."
Viede and Genai raced through the air, the wind tugging at their clothes, tangling their hair, whipping around them and – completely unnoticed by either as they made their way to two separate houses. They had decide that they should check on Satella as well and had separated. Genai reached the one Azmaria was in. Which was a ruinous mess.
Oh, God... Please let her be okay! Genai thought desperately as the house came into view.
Landing in the backyard he ran into the house.
"I don't know if I can contact him... And even if I can it could be several days before he can come to see me..." Helen warned.
"Tell me how to contact him and I'll take it from there." Zeke said firmly.
"He may not see you-"
"He will if he values his life." He growled.
Helen looked at him with a great deal of concern. She had a feeling that he remembered more about the situation then he was letting on. And if he wasn't telling her even a small amount then Rosette was probably very likely going to be seriously injured if not outright killed.
She silently hoped that Zaizen would understand.
"To contact him I need a the crystal in my jewelery box." She said quietly.
"...It's a telepathic enhancer."
"Yes."
How does he make these intuitive leaps? She decided that he either had an unconscious memory about it or she had been broadcasting her thoughts.
"Alright then..." He started.
"I'll go get it." Sebastian suddenly announced from beside the window, "You keep your wife company." He added over his shoulder as he headed to the door where he paused and turned to face Helen, "Don't worry; I'll be careful not to use it."
"Thank you." Helen said gratefully.
The door closed behind the red head and a ringing silence permeated the room. Without saying a thing Zeke walked over to the chair beside the door and brought it over to the side of Helen's bed where he sat down and gently took her hand.
Ctanna and Chrono exchanged glances. They both knew why Sebastian had volunteered to go get the crystal; he was worried that Zeke would follow through on his promise. Zeke was known for having a short temper at times...
Viede landed on Satella's balcony. Surprisingly, the curtains were open and his quarry was laying on the couch. She was completely unharmed and reading a book that was apparently very interesting as she didn't seem to hear when he knocked repeatedly on the glass. Frowning, he checked the door. Unlocked. He opened it. That got her attention. Getting up quickly she faced him, ready to fight – then relaxed.
"Ah, Viede, you scared me! Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"
"I did. Several times."
"Oh... Sorry." She apologized sheepishly, "Good book, you know?"
He nodded. Then she frowned thoughtfully and asked, "Why are you here?"
Genai had looked through the entire house and hadn't found anyone. Where the hell had they gone? Underground? Wait, that's it! Underground! Basement! He did a frantic search of the downstairs and found what he was looking for in the kitchen. He opened the door – and just barely dodged an Astral blast.
"It's me!" He called, hiding against the wall beside the door.
"Ah, Genai! I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, Az."
He sighed. Then stepped into view.
"Everyone is down here with me." She told him as she came up the stairs.
He nodded, not sure what to do with all the extra people.
"Anyone hurt?" He asked.
"A couple."
"We'll phone for help and let them take it from there." He decided.
"Okay."
Sebastian handed Helen the crystal. Everyone stared at him, surprised that he had been able to find the jewelery box so quickly; he had been there and back in less then five minutes. Seeing their surprised looks he explained.
"If it enhances telepathy then it's going to put out a powerful field, making it very easy to pinpoint."
There was a collective "Ah" from the group. Then, clearing her thoughts, Helen clutched the crystal to her chest and focused on calling Zaizen.
'Not so loud.' His voice sounded deep and rich in her mind, 'I can hear you just fine.'
'Sorry. I'm calling because a need your help.' She explained, 'Aion has taken Rosette.'
A pause.
'He has?'
'Yes.'
'I'll be there in half an hour.'
'Thank you. We're at-' She said started.
'I can sense where you are and... You don't need to thank me.'
'I know.'
She smiled, his mind slipping away from her's, his pleasure at her words obvious.
Genai and Viede sped back to the hospital. Satella had left a note for her family before leaving and Genai had waited until he could see the sirens before grabbing Azmaria and heading to the hospital. They all arrived at the same time – to find a very high ranking demon in the room with the others.
The atmosphere was dense enough to choke as Zeke and the Devil sized the other up. Helen looked between the two, not sure what was going on. Ctanna looked intrigued and all the others looked nervous.
Genai and Viede shared that nervousness: if those two came to blows... The results could and would be disastrous.
Who did this angel think he was? He just walked into Helen's life again after how many years? And now he had the gall to lay claim to her again? How could she let him? How could she forgive him so easily? How could she trust him to not run off again?
A low growl, inaudible to Humans, escaped him as he glared at the gray eyed man who's face was impassive even as his eyes burned.
What do you want? Zeke's eyes demanded.
I'd think that would be obvious. The Devil answered.
You keep your hands off my wife. Zeke warned.
I wouldn't do anything she wouldn't want me too.
Zeke smirked.
Then I have nothing to worry about.
The Devil's eyes narrowed on Zeke.
"I assume that you are Duke Zaizen?" Zeke asked coolly.
"I am." Was his equally cool reply, "We will need help if we are to retrieve Rosette."
"Who did you have in mind?" Sebastian asked before Zeke could say anything.
Zaizen met the red haired man's eyes evenly and told him. Who winced but nodded. They were going to have to work with the Pursuers.
"Mind if I ask why you're the only person who can find Aion?" Ctanna asked calmly.
He studied her for several minutes before sending out a mental prob. His eyes went wide end his breath caught. He told her.
"I am a double agent sent from Pandemonium to bring Aion down. It isn't a matter of finding him; I know exactly where he is."
"I see... I'm going to trust you with my sons' lives." Her eyes narrowed, "So don't mess up."
"I won't." He promised with a bow that surprised the others.
A/N: Well, that was longer then normal... So what did you guys think?
