Chapter 6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Right after Yuki flew off to who knew where, Shigure trotted out his front door and decided to do some spying.

"I must find out what the Father is planning.."

Shigure took of to the sky and flew towards the palace where he was seated in the waiting room.

"Ah, Shigure-san, So nice to see you again."

Shigure looked up to see a reindly face, "Ah, Hello there Nem, How's Cupid?"

Nem seemed to twitch, smiling darkly and Shigure sweatdropped, "I haven't seen him in a while, ever since that last incident with the palace pillar-"

Shigure noded cutting her off, "Yes, yes, He would recover sometime...Anyway, I was wondering if I could talk to the Father."

Nem looked at a book in front of her and Shigure leaned forward for a peek, "Well I'll page him."

Shigure sat back and smiled as the female paged Him.

Nem looked up, "He says you can come in but it can't take to long." With a nod, Shigure waved oodbye to Nem and entered the Father's office.

"Hello again Father.."

"Ah Shigure, it's been a while. What's on your mind..?"

Shigure chuckled, "You should know, after all, you knew I was comming," The Father nodded grinning, "but to the point Father, I was wondering why you sent Kyo down to earth to gaurd the human girl...?" The father smiled, "That human girl, or Tohru, needs to be protected alright.. She's going to take the place of Kohaku, but sadly, the Dark one must have known he failed when he killed Kohaku."

"Why do you say that?"

"I trust you won't tell anyone Shigure.."

Shigure frowned, "Third time today someone has hurt me.... Of course you can trust me Father!"

"Well," Father becane and turned to the side in his big shair looking out a window across heaven, "You see, I sent Kohaku out as a decoy... the Dark one thought he was the real thing though and brought him to the dark side, but in truth, I knew that would happen. But of course, my word is infallible, and Kohaku really did die for hundreds of people.. just not at that time."

Shigure nodded, "I see, and the Dark One must have figured it out.. but why this Tohru girl?"

"Tohru," He began smiling lovingly to Himself, "Is pure.. I gave her a Gaurdian Angel to protect her, but I knew he would fail..." Shigure's face downfalled.

"Don't worry Shigure, I have everything planned out. Kohaku will be saved at the end of the world."

"When will that be?" Shigure smirked

The Father smirked back, "You almost had me there Shigure, and no, I know what you're thinking and it won't be next Tuesday."

Shigure snapped his fingers jokingly, "Darnit!"

"Anyway.." He continued, "When AKito killed the Gaurdian Angel watching Tohru, he thought all was well. I sent Yuki out to protect Tohru, but when the Dark one thought Yuki would be the one, like I planned, I instead gave Kyo the assignment."

"So, Kyo really was innocent?"

"Of course he was! Since Kyo has broken down though, which hurt me to know end, the Dark one knew I wouldn't send him, or so he thought anyway."

Shigure grinned, "Brilliant!"

"So I sent Kyo down there to Earth knowing the Dark one would sent Akito..."

"What does AKito ahve to do with this?"

The Father grinned, "I can't give away ALL my secrets."

Shigure pouted, "Well, I have to admit, this is quite brilliant."

He smiled, "But you already knew, didn't you?"

Shigure frowned, "Tut tut, I can't give away ALL my secrets."

With a knowing smiles, the Father dismissed Shigure and Shigure left the office giving the Father a thumbs up. He nodded to Nem who smiled and waved him goodbye. With that, Shigure flew home to do some planning of his own.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------

Tohru blinked, "Wha?" Deja Vou...

Kyo looked at her, "You see... I've been assigned.." 'Oh great, I just lied to her.' "..to gaurd you from seome demonic angels untill furthar notice."

Tohru was in shock, ' GARDIAN ANGEL?! WOAH!' "So.. you have wings and a halo?"

Kyo frowned, "Excluding the halo.. I have wings."

Tohru clasped her hands together in excitement, "Really? Can I see them?"

"When the time comes." Tohru pouted and Kyo couldn't resist but think how cute she looked. He shook that thought quickly away.

"How do I know you're an angel then?"

"You remember the cut on my arm? I can heal fast untill i'm injured with magic."

Tohru looked at him in awe, "Oooh." She leaned forward close to him making Kyo blush, "Wha-What are you doing?"

Tohru looked him straight in the eyes with a serious expression on her face, "So.. you're an angel.. who has to protect me?"

Kyo looked back in her eyes feeling a blush heat up his face, "Yes." Tohru pulled away and picked up another onigiri, "Okay, I just had to make sure you weren't lying."

Kyo blinked, "Huh?"

Tohru looked at him, "My mom said that if you looked someone in the eyes, you could tell if they were lying."

Kyo sighed abit, "Oh." Tohru bit into her onigiri and looked at him while chewing. She swallowed and asked, "So, this your fist time human? Or have you been that way around me before?"

Kyo picked up an onigiri and inspected it curiously, "Actually, I'm a substitute.." Tohru blinked, "What?"

Kyo looked at her, "See, before I met you, another angel named Kirako Suzumaru, well.. they were killed by the Dark one.. and so I came to protect you." Kyo took a bite out of the onigiri and his eyes widened, "Wow! This is good!" he thought aloud and started eating the onigiri, nearly inhaling it. 'Wow! Human food is almost like Heaven food..' He looked to Tohru and saw her smile.

Suddenly, he felt a change in weight in his lap. Kyo looked down and saw an orange stripped cat sitting in his lap, looking at him with large green eyes. "What the?"

Tohru giggled and petted Kyoko's head, "This is Kyoko.. I named her after my mother. Don't worry, she's very frendly."

Kyo looked back at the cat and petted her, "Um.. right."

"Um.. Kyo?"

Kyo looked up from petting the cat and grabbed another onigiri, "Yeah?"

"I'm gonna call my freind Ou, I told her I would last night and I don't want her to get worried about me."

Kyo munched the onigiri and nodded handing her the device on his side of the couch. Tohru thanked him and dialed a few buttons then pressed the earpeice to her head listening to the dial tone.

"Hello?" a voice came from the other line.

"Hey Tohru! You worried me abit.. is everything alright? Did you lock yourself out again? Did something happen?" Tohru smiled nervously, "Well um.. I was uh...attacked last night."

"WHAT?!?!?!"

Tohru nearly dropped the phone, "Ah, Calm down Ou, I'm fine. I promise, Nothing bad happend to me!

Ou sighed haevily, "Well what happend? How'd you escape? Did they take anything?"

Tohru looked at Kyo who munched on a riceball and wiggled his fangers at Kyoko who pawed at them He looked so cute right then. He was so kind to help her.. What should she tell Ou?

"Tohru?"

"Huh?"

Another sigh. "Answer me!"

"Oh, well someone saved me."

"Who?"

"His name is Kyo.. he carried me home and treated my wounds-"

"WOUNDS?! HE STABBED YOU?!"

"The attacker did, Only on my leg, that's all. And I feel better now. ..oh he did grab my ankle but that healed last night.."

Ou panicked on the phone, "Where's this Kyo guy now? Did he leave?"

Tohru blushed abit when Kyo looked at her curiously as the cat pawed his fingers, "Oh um.. he's sitting next to me.. we we're eating onigiri and-"

"......................"

"Ou?"

"..........Tohru? I think this is a bad connection.. did you say you let him stay over?"

"Um well, it's not what you think! He's a really nice guy and-"

"Tohru! How could you!? You don't even know him! What if he's a stalker in dequise?!"

Kyo looked back at the cat and Tohru hesitated, "I don't know Ou.. for some reason I feel I could trust him with my life.. he's keeping an out for me too.. and doping a wonderful job.. don't worry Ou, I'll be fine."

"Okay Tohru... You want me to call your work and tell them you had an accedent and won't be there for a few days?"

"Can you Ou? It would be greatly appreciated"

"Sure.. but be careful Tohru.. Watch your back. If he tried anythign call me and I'll kick his sorry ass to the moon and back."

Tohru sweatdropped, "Um.. I okay Ou. Thank you."

"Ja ne." The line went dead, Tohru hung up.

Tohru looked up and saw Kyo laying against the couch with Kyoko laying in his lap purring and asleep. Tohru smiled seeing Kyo with his eyes closed. She leaned back to and decided to sleep for a while.. untill her leg was healed, that's all she could do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------

Yuki soared through the sky full speed untill he came to the palace. Bursting through the doors, he waked to the Father's office and knocked on the door, "Enter Yuki." Yuki blinked, he stil wasn't used to that even though he had heard it for millions or years.

"Father."

"Yuki, don't be so rude."

YUki stiffened, "I appologize, I just..."

"Want to take back your assignment?"

Yuki nodded looking at the Father. The Father stroked his silver beard andd shook his head, "I appologize too Yuki, but you will have to wait exactly one month before entering heaven.. the dark one musn't know you're comming untill the threat is settled." Father knew he was exagerating abit.

Yuki sighed, "But Father."

"DO not go against my word Yuki." He gave the angel a stern look, "I have told you when you can leave heavn and you won't untill then."

Yuki frowned then sighed in defeat, "Yes Sir." With that, Yuki turned and left the white office room walking down the hallway ignoring the wave that Nem, the secretary gave him.

Outside the palace Yuki had a new idea, "I'll visit Haru. He has a crystal ball and can see what's going on in the human world! I can find out about who I was assigned to and what Kyo is doing to protect her!" Yuki took off for the sky again slapping his huge majestic wings against the wind and smiled in voctory.
