I'm doing a little Christmas special this year, I recently went through all my files and I realized that I have a lot of unfinished oneshots and so I'm taking this time to slowly publish them, my goal is the get them all up by Christmas day and I hope you guys can go to my home page and take a look at the stories and leave a review to let me know what you think. Thanks!
P.P.S. In this chapter Kukai refers to everyone in their surnames, not because he isn't close to them but rather because I felt it's more in character for him since in the anime he refers to most of them by their surnames.
Chapter 2: A Warning to the People
Kukai's POV
I swore under my breath, I'm so done for. I mean, Fujisaki was usually very patient but he's not exactly a morning person and adding to the fact that he saw me awake at 4 am wasn't exactly going to help his mood.
I groaned in frustration, banging my head against the wall but decided to hurry up and get ready before I get into even more trouble.
"Watashi no honto no jibun o akiraka ni shimasu," I chanted as I gripped the red crystal that was hanging around my neck.
A red glow immediately began to encase me as I said those words. Red velvet wings sprouted from my back and my clothes changed from my pajamas to a red and orange sleeveless top with black pants.
"Yeah!" I yelled as I took fight and zoomed across the house.
I grinned goofily, adrenaline pulsing throughout my body. Finally! I felt so much better in this form! My mortal form was way too restricted and clammed up, like I was walking through water or something, but in my true form I felt much freer and much lighter, like I could finally breathe properly.
I laughed gleefully and shot up high in the air, doing a few somersaults and backflips for fun before making my way towards the gate where everyone should be waiting at. I couldn't stop the elated feeling bubbling in my chest, but my happiness was short lived as I passed by a very shocked and pissed off Fujisaki. A string of cuss words escaped my mouth. Oh this is just great! Now he had one more thing to lecture me about! I yelled a brief apology to him and continued my flight, desperate to get away from him.
My brain was so focused on the fact that I just screwed up so badly (again) and I almost didn't notice I was heading towards the wall. I stumbled and tried to steer away from it but that only resulting in me crashing head first into a bookshelf instead. The once neatly stacked books tumbled onto the floor in a heap and I just barely managed to dodge the falling books. I stared at the mess of books in horror, oh shit, now Fujisaki and Sanjo are going to murder me.
I quickly flew away from the crime scene, hoping Sanjo wouldn't notice the mess if I didn't mention it (unlikely, considering what a neat freak he was, but, hey, a guy can hope).
When I neared the gate of the house (or rather mansion) I saw Tsukiyomi outside the door, his midnight blue wings surrounding him as he leaned against the wall. He looked half asleep and only yawned widely when he saw me.
"Yo Tsukiyomi!" I said cheerily.
As I reached him, my crimson wings slowed down to a stop and I landed gracefully in front of him, grinning at his sleepy expression.
"How can you have so much energy so early in the morning?" he asked while stifling a yawn. He stretched and looked at the ground longingly, as if he was contemplating on whether or not to lie down on it.
I was about to answer his question but was cut off by a very angry voice, "Well, our dearest Souma-kun decided to stay up all night drinking coke and playing football," an extremely angry Fujisaki said through gritted teeth.
Hoping to lighten the mood, I clapped my hands together and bowed, "Please don't kill me oh great Nagihiko-sama!" I heard Ikuto laugh quietly at the last bit and I had to suppress a grin myself but I tried to keep a straight face.
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Kukai, how many times must I tell yo-" but Sanjo cut his sentence short.
"Sorry to interrupt but we have a Fallen Angel on the loose and he or she has an hour gap from us, and, as much as I would love to have his head for knocking down my bookshelf," so he did notice it, damn, "We have to catch that Fallen Angel. So save the lecture for later," Fujisaki sighed and gave me one last piercing glare before nodding at Sanjo.
"Managed to piss both of them off at 4 in the morning eh? I think that's a new record, even for you," Ikuto said as he smirked at me. Did I mention he could be really irritating sometimes?
"Oh shut up Kitty Kat," I mumbled underneath my breath.
We launched into the air in perfect rhythm without needing a command. We never needed to tell each other what to do, we were practically a family and knew each other better than anyone else. it was given though, after spending eons together.
Nagi, the responsible and mature one with a quick temper, he really looked out for all of us and if I had to peg him to any character it would be a big brother who actively watches out for everyone and helps them.
Kairi was the most responsible and organized person and he was in charge of everybody. He would hands down be the father character in our little family tree. We all respected him a lot and although he was the youngest among us, he could take care of everyone easily.
Ikuto was the kind of person who was like an older brother but kind of more like those tough love kind of people. He always acts so cold and indifferent towards everything but he wasn't actually like that and cared for others, though it took a hell lot of work for us to gain his friendship. He wasn't picky about his friends, but he didn't want them to get mixed up with 'someone like him' as he put it.
The Universal Keepers created all of us many, many years ago, back when the world was still new. They created each of us for different purposes and we were all expected to perform them with our upmost but without being selfish and using powers for personal gain. And we adhered to those rules without complain, after all, that what an Angel was for, to be the guardian of every living thing, and thus, earning the nickname 'Guardian Angel' by the humans.
It was said that if an Angel was to be selfish and let the darkness corrupt them, they would be converted to a Fallen Angel. Fallen Angels were like regular Angels but their wings were all midnight black and they held a different aura from all of us. They didn't adhere to any rules and did as they pleased, though there were the exceptions. Fallen Angels selfishly did whatever they wanted, no matter who they hurt in the process, however, if the situation got so horrible till the point where they murdered someone for the fun of it, the Eternity Angel would step in and purify them, something only she could do.
When we were being created, Ikuto was the first and he filled the world with water and water creatures lived in them. Then, I was created, I was in charge of fire and I warmed up some of the regions while left the others cold. Thirdly, Nagihiko was created. He made sure that space and oceans filled with different kinds of gases besides oxygen. Finally, Kairi was created he filled earth with land and land creatures filled up the space.
However, although Ikuto and I were fire and water elementalists, we were often confused with the sun and moon Angels but were completely different from them. They were Celestial Angels, incredibly powerful, even more so than us. They were able to control the powers of the sun and moon, which represented fire and water respectively, but in no way were we related.
One thing that had always bugged me was why did they create us? The Eternity Angel could more than handle doing our jobs without breaking a sweat. And yet they had decided for us to be created. It was rather silly but nonetheless I was grateful, I got to meet so many people.
"There he is!" I heard Nagihiko yell snapping me out of my thoughts. He pointed to a moving shadow. We immediately dived in. Kairi stopped and cast a spell on the mortal police chasing us, putting them to sleep while the rest of us pursued onwards.
As I was the fastest among us, I was a arms length away from the guy while Nagi and Ikuto were lagging some two feet behind. I pushed myself to go even faster and reached out to grab the collar of the runaway, but, as I neared him, I realized something, this guys wings weren't black, they were bright blue.
I screeched to a halt, "HIKARU?!" I exclaimed, shocked.
Hikaru was a young Angel with the power of controlling precious stones, Kairi had trained him when we were younger but when the war broke out we kind of lost contact.
"Kukai? Oh thank goodness it's you! I was looking for you guys everywhere!" he exclaimed.
Kairi frowned, pushing his glasses up, "Not that I'm not happy to see you Hikaru, but why are you looking for us?" he asked.
He looked absolutely devastated, "I have a message to deliver from the Angel of Oracles, she wanted me to tell you guys that something is going to happen to all of you, soon, and it isn't going to be pretty," he warned.
To repeat again, I'm doing a little Christmas special this year, I recently went through all my files and I realized that I have a lot of unfinished oneshots and so I'm taking this time to slowly publish them, my goal is the get them all up by Christmas day and I hope you guys can go to my home page and take a look at the stories and leave a review to let me know what you think. Thanks!
