Chapter 3 – The warning.

The first thing that Yuuta's felt when he woke up in the morning was the smooth and warm skin of Mizuki against his cloths, making his body, his arms were completely warped around Mizuki's neck and the businessman arms were around the others chest. His face was smiling with the most happiest and tranquil smile that Yuuta had ever seen him doing, his cheek against the other backbone. Yuuta smiled and tried to release himself, but the others arm were so closely tighten to his chest that he was almost unable to move. So he simply stared to the happy face of his companion, thinking about the events of the past night. After the kissing the businessman had carried Yuuta on his arms, kissing him passionately, Yuuta had token of the others white shirt while he was being carried, they had lean down and…

'Nothing else happened!! Mizuki fell asleep after it!' Yuuta looked towards the lover with a mist of disappointment and relief…

'Well, it's not that I didn't do a crime anyway… We could have as well gone all the way since we were at it.'

Yuuta noticed his own thoughts and laughed, his vision of things sure had changed. He played with Mizuki's hair, remembering the businessman habit of curling it even more.

'Even if my punishment is big, I don't have regrets…'

He hugged the other guy.

'Never will…' he promised.

But then, the warmth suddenly disappeared… Mizuki wasn't there, he wasn't there anymore, and he didn't know where he was.

'Where… am I?' He thought, taking a look at his surroundings, he detected Mizuki's old building a few kilometres from him, he was above the street flying in the air.

'How did I…'

"I bought you here." He heard a voice say in his back, he turned and to his surprise the archangel was in his front, looking terribly sad, his normally perfect beautiful face had some wrinkles on it… He had been the face of a preoccupied person.

"Archangel!" Yuuta bowed to his superior and the person that he looked up to.

The archangel didn't say a thing anymore, he had a serious face and looked determined, came closer to the subordinate.

And hugged him, Yuuta stayed looking in shock towards the blue sky, the other angel was holding him and at the same time started to speak to him.

"I am so sorry Yuuta kun… I am so so sorry…" His voice trembled a little, it was the first time that Yuuta had saw the older angel so concerned in his life, he felt extremely guilty.

But, he wasn't the person to hold back… He knew perfectly why the older angel had come, and he was going to fight to defend himself against his crime.

He pushed the archangel away from him.

"Don't be… It was my decision to do it and not yours, and I am not regretful of my actions." He looked serious to the superior returned him with an impassive face, the face that had official things to take care of.

"I wasn't sent here, yet. I made things move more slowly so that you and I could have time to prepare a way to defend you…"

Yuuta looked to the superior, he felt grateful to the older angel for his show of concern, and what he said to him almost broke his heart. But he had to say it. This was his decision and he wasn't going back on it.

"No… I am going to stay with Mizuki until he dies, even if it cost me my soul. I will not go away, this is where I want to stay." He hardened his face so that he wouldn't cry towards the archangel that although he didn't show he had a feeling of betrayal, and Yuuta was feeling it.

But the archangel let go of his friendly eyes and looked towards Yuuta with determination.

"Yuuta, you are young and you don't really know the human… You don't really know anything about him or his past… Your feelings aren't real…"

"They are real!" Yuuta shouted to the archangel "As real that they hurt! If I don't stay by his side, I don't want to exist at all!"

He finally gave up and one tear dropped in his face and fell towards the long distant ground. But he didn't hold back. The older angel looked now with a grave face.

"If you think that they are real, then they will survive the truth about him and his past." He got closer to Yuuta with his hand opened towards him "When you have understood, come back to the upper world and talk to me, I will always be waiting for you."

Yuuta felt his head become weightless, as he became to be pulled out by a strange strength, everything became black.

"You have until the night to come back to us… If not… you will leave the earth by force…"

The archangel said in the blank, then the light came.

He was looking to the blue sky of a shiny day, there was little clouds and the sun was a little to the left. It should be around 11 a.m.

'Where am I?' Yuuta's got up, he had been lead back in the ground. He looked around and realised that he was on a playground. But there was no one there on the time being, the toys were abandoned at the wing.

Then, he heard a sound.

"Plock, plock" it was the sound of a tennis ball, someone was playing tennis… Somewhere…

Yuuta elevated his body, flying in the air with his wings, at some high, he discovered to kids playing in a near tennis court. One of then was surprisingly familiar to Yuuta.

'It can't be…' Yuuta flown closer, floating parallel with the tennis court 'It's… Mizuki!'

He recognised the curly with purple reflections hair and the vivid dark blue eyes, he hadn't changed much, but it looked like he had 10 years old or so… His presently well built body had been replaced with skinny arms and legs, he was a slim and tinny kid, and was playing against and adversary that was a lot bigger than him, about 16 years old and had some muscles on his body. But apparently size wasn't everything, as Mizuki made the ball go to the opposite side of the adversary, that tried to catch it, without a chance.

"40-love" shouted the young Mizuki, with his big triumphant smile "You are losing again, Rudolf nii san."

The older boy laughed, amused.

"Looks like I am not a match for you in tennis…" He looked to a watch that he had on "And apparently you win this time, we have to get back…"

Mizuki looked to the ground, looking disappointed.

"Do we have to… It's only one more point…" He muttered "You have been always busy with your work and I don't have anyone else that worthy opponent to me."

The older boy went towards him, rubbing his hair with both hands.

"You are getting a little cocky… I would love to see you lose…"

Mizuki escaped from the treatment of the older guy and laughed.

"nfufu, as that was possible..."

"I simply wished that you spent so much time working in your homework as you do at tennis."

"Oh, please…" Mizuki walked ahead of the other guy, leaving the court "As if I needed, I can pass easily without having to study."

"You could be the best student if you just studied a little…"

"What's the point, I want to be a professional tennis player anyway…" He ran ahead the older guy "But why such a speech, Rudolf san? You are doing well and you hadn't good grades either…"

Rudolf looked to the ground, like avoiding the look of Mizuki.

"I am fine, but my dreams are taking long to be fulfilled, if I had tried harder, you and Anna could be already living with me and…"

Mizuki laughed.

"No worry, we can wait… besides, I think Anna likes a guy that goes on our class and…"

"What!! My sister is too young for…"

Yuuta again was involved in black… this time it was a little longer. So he had the time to think about what he had seen.

'This is Mizuki's past, so his dream was to become a tennis player… No wonder he likes the sport so much…His confidence didn't really changed over the years it seams.. '

'If I recall… He was in an orphanage with Anna… This Rudolf guy… He said he was Anna's brother…'

Yuuta's opened his eyes, violently, putting his hand on his mouth.

'Anna said that her brother had died!!'

And again, the light came.

He was now floating on a room, with six bunks, three on each side, and Mizuki was lining down on the second of the left, on the upper bed. Reading a newspaper, alone.

Yuuta came closer to see what he was reading.

'Drug dealing…'

Mizuki was reading about several people caught on drug dealing, there had been several individuals involved but the hideout hadn't been discovered yet.

He took a paper out of his pillow. It was a surrounding map, that had several red crosses on it, he wrote a note on the left side of the map.

Too distant to be the hideout, the drug dealers caught were too stupid to be a big operation.

Mizuki smiled towards the map.

"I getting closer, soon I will catch them and win the ticket to get away from the orphanage…nfufu" he muttered.

"What! That's dangerous! Are you an idiot?" Yuuta shouted, astonished, but Mizuki wasn't able to ear him.

Engulfed by the black, this time he came back to a dark street, in a rainy stormy night. Mizuki was looking to an old warehouse, that looked abandoned, he ran towards a public phone.

"Police? Yes, I discovered the hideout of the gang… please, you got to help me…" Mizuki faked a distress voice "It's on…"

Several police cars came, as well as video cameras and the reporters. There was a lot of noise…

"POLICE, YOU ARE SORROUNDED!"

Several individuals started to run from the warehouse. But the police was catching them all… A small figure than the rest of them was caught, but the police hadn't secured him well, and the silhouette not only break lose of the guy, but had stolen his gun.

Mizuki looked to the individual, the lights of the policemen cars were directed to the fugitive zone, the gun was pointed to the previews owner. Mizuki's face became blank.

"Rudolf!!" He shouted to the older guy that was pointing a gun. He looked skinner and older than the last time that Mizuki had saw him, he looked to the little boy, starting to cry.

"I am so sorry, Mizuki… I only wanted to have enough money to give Little Anna and you a good home…" His tears became more fluent "I am so sorry…I love both of you so much…"

A policeman that was by Mizuki's side pointed his gun towards Rudolf, Mizuki only realised what was happening after it was too late.

"NOOO!!" Mizuki shouted, but it was too late, the gun fired, and Rudolf was falling towards the muddy floor. The little boy was running towards the guy that had been like a brother to him.

Yuuta had his hands on his face, looking horrified to the scene, Mizuki cried hugged to the older guy's face, with his hands and face covered in blood. The policeman tried to pull him off from the corpse, but Mizuki refused to let go Rudolf.

"It's my fault! It's my fault! I am so sorry Rudolf nii san… Please don't die! I promise that I will have the best grades, I will try harder… I will never disappoint you again so please don't die!! RUDOLF NII SAN!!!"

Yuuta was crying with Mizuki, he changed in time again, nuns were praying, a bunch of kids from several ages were all dressed in black, towards a coffin. Mizuki got up of his seat, about to make his farewell to the dead, Anna was by his side.

"You were the only person on this world that I though that was my equal, and… I killed you…" Mizuki looked to the coffin "… you had a good heart and loved me and Anna more than anything, I am the one that was rotten inside... So... Why did you died so pure and I stayed alive, nii-san? I will never agre with your thoughts... but… I will use my life to make it come true what you wanted to accomplish in life and weren't able to because of me… I will… take care of Anna the best way I can… but…I will not make your supid mistake, I'll live only for myself, I'll love only myself, I'll never love another being to the point of killing myself for them…that's who I am... and I will live as I am..." Mizuki started to cry, Anna had long and red hair, and her eyes were filled with tears has she embraced the boy of the same stature.

"It's not your fault!! Mizuki, Rudolf wouldn't want you too think this… It's not your fault!!!"

Yuuta was brought back…

He was looking to the archangel, that wasn't smiling like he normally was.

"Decide well, and don't forget that he is still thinking that he is the culprit of his best friend death…and the promise he broke to be with you… Imagine how he will stay if something happens to the one he loves."

Yuuta was crying. The words of the archangel were pouncing on his head, his heart was hurting like it had never hurt before.

Yuuta was walking, there was no destiny on his footsteps, ignoring the people and cars that he passed thru. He tried to think, but his mind could only see the little boy hugged to the older guy, covered in blood saying "sorry" repeatedly.

And then, another picture came to his mind, a picture of the present Mizuki hugged to his body, saying "sorry" repeatedly to his lifeless corpse.

'If I continue to disobey the orders of the superiors… I will be erased for sure… I wasn't thinking about how would Mizuki fell about it if I…'

He looked towards the sky, with his face humid in his tears.

"RUDOLF YOU BIG JERK!!! IF YOU WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT THEM YOU SHOULD HAD TRYIED TO WIN MONEY BY AN HONEST WAY!! HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WERE FOUNDED OUT!?" Yuuta shouted, not expecting a reply, just trying to erase some of his confusion.

Then, he had a déjà vu feeling, has he suddenly heard a familiar sound.

"Plock, Plock"

'Tennis…' Yuuta walked rapidly towards the sound direction. It came from a school, there were several courts display on his front has he passed the gate and turned the main building. There were young boys, dressed on a white shorts and white jacket with a brown thick line on it.

And a familiar name was on the side of the tennis club uniform.

"St. Rudolf!!" he read.

'It can't be…'

He walked a little on the school, it had a dormitory, and some other clubs, but there were a lot of attention towards the tennis. Girls went towards the club when their classes ended to support the guys on it. Yuuta continued walking.

He found himself on the back wall of the school. There was a black stone with inscriptions on it.

This school was built in Memory of Rudolf-nii-san, my best friend that died because of his good intentions and wrong methods, his biggest dream was someday to built a school were everyone had the best education, could play sports and learn a lot, so that one day everyone has the opportunity to be someone and have their dreams come true, despite of their status or parents…

That his dream prevail even in death and may I someday forgive myself of not had understood his own problems… Until then I will continue making his dreams and my own dreams come true.

Hope to someday find that thing that he worked so hard to protect... And understand why did he gave his life for me...

'This is… It was Mizuki who built this school!!' The angel concluded 'He said… "And understand why did he gave his life for me…"'

He walked back, turning around, running until his foots were on the air and his wings catching the wind.

'I… understand now… Why he was putted on the "complicated situation"' The angel flown as quickly has he could towards Mizuki's home, it was already noon.

Mizuki had spent the day looking for his beloved angel, he had for the first time in all his work years had took the day off. He arrived at the noon exhausted and sad.

'Where could that guy's be?' Mizuki played with his hair 'Could he have got in trouble because of… me.'

He looked to the window. Laughing sadly.

'Looks like I continue to make the same mistakes as the past…' His heart was hurting, but he was incapable of crying since the funeral of his best friend.

'At least I will die in two more months or so… I won't cause more misfortune around me…' he looked to the floor 'Even when I try to do some good it always turns out like this… I am a rotten weed after all.'

A white silhouette floated in his front, silently landing on the floor. The businessman turned his face to the newcomer, smiling with relief.

"Missing me?" asked Yuuta, smiling, Mizuki made his cocky face as usual, but the angel had known the answer from his first reaction.

"As if…" Mizuki got up, patting the angel in the head, he was about to turn his face towards the angel, but Yuuta hugged Mizuki suddenly that the human was unable to move.

"Mizuki, you are not the culprit…" Yuuta's face buried itself on the humans chest "You are not the culprit for doing what you want and you are not responsible for other people actions!"

Mizuki's face froze, he looked down to the angel.

"You… know?"

"I was told, because my superior came to warn me that I am gonna be judge by my faults, angels are forbidden by law to interact with humans at an emotional level and I am the first to overcome that barrier, I will be severely punished and probably erased for this crime." Yuuta talked very quickly, so that Mizuki didn't had the time to argue "But… I DO NOT REGRET IT! No matter the consequences that this brings upon me this is my will, If I had another chance, I would do it all over again, because my life and myself became sense since you arrived."

Yuuta finally leaved the chest and looked to the human, that had an astonished look.

"So… Mizuki… no matter what happens… Please, do not think that it is your fault… respect my will as you respect your own... because my soul will be terribly sad if you remember me as a sin that you made."

Mizuki looked to Yuuta, he wasn't able to speak, but something happened to his body that answered to Yuuta.

Mizuki's eyes started to drop tears. His hands came to his eyes, not believing that it was possible… But the tears continued against his will.

Yuuta kissed his humid face.

"It's okay, you can cry all you want." He said, letting the man hug him and cry on his shoulder, for the many years that he had been unable to cry.

Mizuki mummured a phrase, but his voice was too low for yuuta to hear it.

"I understand now... Rudolf-nii"

And then, it came the night.
