Chapter 1: Project Angel

"About ten weeks ago, monsters began to appear all over Japan. Many deaths have been attributed to monster attacks. Recently their

numbers have tripled. When asked, several civilians revealed that they believe these `monsters' are really aliens. Scientists are trying to

explain…"

Tanaka turned off the T.V. Those people had no idea what was going on. They were blind to the truth. These creatures weren't aliens or

monsters. They were the original beings, the first life on Earth. These were the spirits of legend.

Tanaka sighed. He had been so excited when he'd found that pale body. Even more so when he found that, what turned out to be a young

male, was still alive. How in the world could a being buried in 500 years of rock survive? It was impossible, and yet there he was. The only

bad part about his discovery was that the boy was being tortured and there was nothing he could do about it.

Pain. Such terrible pain. My body aches. It doesn't go away no matter how I cry or cower. These creatures I cannot see, take my hands.

They are saying odd things like `tolerance' and `healing rate'. Now more pain. My hands hurt so. I believe the bones are broken. I can do

naught but cry. I am powerless.

A/N: Listen guys. Sess is way OOC in these first chappies because, he was awakened early, so he doesn't remember anything. Tanaka is his

handler/ caretaker. Sess finds comfort and safety being with him. No pain basically. Just FYI.

Tanaka sighed, finally once 'Mistukai' woke up, he would be able to try his new invention. Walking down the many halls in the lab he came to

an unmarked door, scanned his ID, and walked in. There, lying in a heap was his charge.

The once incredibly beautiful creature was now bruised and bloody almost beyond recognition. His lovely silver hair had become matted and

dull gray. His eyes, once a brilliant ochre, had become a dull yellow, and devoid of life.

"Holy shit! Mitsukai," Tanaka fell to the floor next to the beaten man and checked him for a pulse. "What have those morons done?!"

Tanaka cursed again under his breath and lifted Angel and laid him on the small cot in the room.

Mitsukai moaned as pain coursed through his body. He stared listlessly at the wall, almost not hearing Tanaka yell down the hall for a medic.

The only thought that crossed his clouded mind was how could those people torture him like this? What had he done to deserve this?

Ok ppl, that's all for now since school is kicking my $$. I'll try and get more done later. Sorry this chapter is so short. I'm trying okay? And I'd

also like to thank theblackangels_ for her help with fixing Fluffy's name. Angel sounded a bit off to me too.
