When I look back at all those who reviewed the first two My Guardian Angels, I can't help but smile. I love to hear those who cried at the ending of My Guardian Angel I and II. Hopefully I can make another tear jerking story that will impress all my faithful readers.

Chapter 2: Words of Warning
It took every ounce of Kairi's willpower to sit through her classes without ditching or daydreaming. And even with all that concentration she still found her thoughts lingering on the man in dark. His image was burned into her mind as though someone had taken a laser and burned it into her eyelids.
But once classes were finally over she returned to her dorm room and finished her assignments. And after that she pondered her enigmatic visitor. She knew almost nothing about him except that he was probably about her age. That could be a lot of people she knew and a lot of people she didn't know. Kairi had thought of the prospect of it being a cleverly planned out hoax by one of her friends but she knew that was out. No one remembered Sora even when he'd been human and had gone to Destiny High.
She went to sleep that night, he mind a swirling mass of questions and possible answers to those questions.
Kairi...
Kairi...
Help...me...Kairi...
I'm...trapped...here...
In...In...In...
"Sora!"
Kairi awoke suddenly, screaming his name into the dark. She panted slightly and looked about the room. She'd seen him: her fallen angel Sora. But what she'd seen filled her mind with terror. Sora had been in pain, unbearable pain. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she remembered the awful pain in his voice and hearing him call out to her with the last ounces of his being. She tried to shut out the images, reasoning that Sora was gone forever and out of pain. But the nagging voice of the mysterious messenger tugged away the veil she tried to keep on those horrid memories.
"You're in pain Kairi," said a voice.
Kairi looked around and spied the mysterious messenger, sitting on a chair diagonally from her.
"You really miss Sora don't you? Your diary speaks volumes of what your mouth could never utter," the man said. "A lot of the things in here remind me of what Sora says about you. He misses you and dreams everyday of being with you."
He closed her diary and stood up. "But tonight is different isn't it? Tonight you dreamed of Sora in pain and crying out to you didn't you? Don't try to lie to me Kairi, I can see all."
Kairi nodded, not bothering to conceal her fear. "Who are you? You claim to know Sora yet never tell me your name. Why do you hide that from me?"
The man walked closer. "Sora has requested that I not tell you my name nor reveal to you where he is. Your goal is not to safe Sora but to avoid the one called Seymour."
"Seymour? You mentioned him before but said you didn't know anything about him," Kairi said. "Have you learned something?"
"Yes I have. May I sit down?" The man asked.
Kairi nodded and the man took a seat across from her. He sighed and reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out a picture and tossed it to her.
"The man in that photo, is the one called Seymour."
The man in the photo had spiky hair that was light blue and reached down to his hands. He wore a multicolored robe and held a staff with a red emblem on the top.
"Seymour..." Kairi repeated.
"Yes, Maester Seymour Guado. He is the current ruler of the Realm of the Angels, Sora's home," the man explained. "He came in to power two years ago after Sora sacrificed himself to seal Bahumut away. No one knows how or why, but Lunilesca, Sora's mother, has disappeared."
"What? But why didn't anyone find her?" Kairi asked.
"They did," the man answered. "Twelve days ago they discovered her. And she was dead."
Kairi gasped and dropped the picture.
"It gets worse. Though everyone knows Seymour did it to get in power nobody can prove it! That's what Sora wants you to do. He wants you to find the evidence that Seymour is responsible for his mother's death. That's the only way he can go on in peace," The man explained. "The problem is getting near Seymour. It's really dangerous, especially for you."
"Why me?" Kairi asked.
"You and Sora's love directly contradicts the contract between Guardian Angels and their charges. Love shall not develop or serious consequences are to be struck down. Lunilesca, wanting only her son's happiness, overlooked your love but Seymour," The man said. "Seymour's another problem all together. His father's the one that came up with the contract and he's desperate to keep all the laws upheld. He's already damned hundreds who are in heaven to hell for crimes that were slightly against the contract and those whom he deemed a threat to the peace of the Heavens."
"That's terrible! What can we do to stop him?" Kairi asked.
The man shook his head. "I don't know yet. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get you into the Realm of the Angels without attracting attention! That's going to be the hardest part. Once that's figured out the rest should be simple, even for a human like yourself."
The man rose and summoned another portal. "I must be going. Sora's life force is slipping away and I have to stay to make sure he doesn't fade until the task at hand is completed. While I'm gone, you must stay safe. If Seymour or any of his men appear her, you must escape! Don't let them catch you or the plan is doomed."
Kairi nodded. "If it isn't too much trouble, will you tell Sora something for me?"
The man nodded and Kairi continued. "Tell him...tell him that I love him and that I'm going to find out if Seymour or anyone else killed his mother. Would you tell him that for me?"
The man nodded again. "I will indeed."
The man turned his back to her and walked forward, only to stop a few inches from the portal.
"You're just as Sora described. I knew from the beginning that you would be only too eager to help your love, even if it wouldn't being him back to you."
With those words, the mysterious messenger was gone and Kairi was alone once more...
