Part 4: To Heart
After Lika, Shiro, and Othello had left for the store, Azariel remained by Chiaki's bedside, "Chiaki, are you okay?"
Chiaki looked up weakly, "Azariel, you're a…"
Azariel nodded, "Shh…yes, I know."
She coughed, "Azariel, God told me you were my—"
"Yes, it's true. We share the same father."
Chiaki frowned, "I have to find Ororon." She struggled to get up, but fell back on the pillow.
Azariel frowned, "Are you sure you want to do this? You are still ill, Chiaki."
Chiaki shook her head, "I've got to find him, Azariel. I've got to apologize."
Smiling sadly, the fallen angel opened the window nearest to Chiaki's bed, and set her on the ground outside, "Follow your heart Chiaki, I won't stop you."
As soon as Chiaki was out of sight, she closed the window and left the room, almost tripping over Kuro as he made his way toward the door.
"Hey, Kuro! Be careful with that soup! If you spill it on Chiaki and she gets hurt, I'll have to singe your tail off!"
Kuro looked up, eyes wide, "You wouldn't really do that, would you Azariel? Huh? You wouldn't do something like that to a little kid, right?!"
Azariel smiled devilishly, "Maybe I would, and maybe I wouldn't…I suggest you don't spill any of that soup, Kuro."
A few seconds later, Kuro yelled from the bedroom, "Lucy! Lucy! Chiaki's gone!!!"
As Lucy rushed past her, she closed her laptop. Smirking, she rose to her feet and strolled outside.
Stepping out into the cool November air, Azariel smiled slyly and began a slow sing-song chant:
"Earth, Wind,
Fire, Water.
Salamander, Undine, Sylph."
