Chapter One

"Hey, kid," a voice boomed. "Kid…"

"Argh… What the…" Shinn Asuka, a 16 year old high school first year student groaned. Loosening his dark blue tie of his school uniform, he sat up. And he looked around him. Rey wasn't there anymore. In place of the roadside was this big white fluffy place with big black gates.

"Rey? Where are you?" he called out. "No, wait a minute, where the hell am I?"

"The Gates of Heaven, that's where. Seriously, kids these days. Tut tut. You shouldn't be using such language," a man with short blonde hair and blue twinkling eyes appeared out of nowhere shaking his head and sighing at the same time.

"Woah!" Shinn yelled, totally freaked out by the man's sudden appearance. "Where the hell did you come from, pops?"

"Don't call me pops. And chill out, kid," the man waved his hand, grinning. He had big white wings on his back and a halo on his head. He then muttered something and a table, a pen and paper appeared before him. "So, what's your name?"

"Uh… Shinn Asuka 16 years old, Ellesmevre High," Shinn said. Then he rubbed his eyes. "You look... Like an angel. Am I dead?"

The man stared at him hard and grinned. "Kid, the car hit you really hard. What do you think?"

"Uh, oh," Shinn said quietly. Now he too had been killed in a car accident.

"Ok, Shinn Asuka, 16 years…" the man mumbled to himself as he wrote down that piece of information. "Ah ha!" he exclaimed triumphantly, as if he had won the lottery. "So, another half good half bad case, huh?"

"What do you mean, 'half good half bad'?" Shinn made a face. "Who the hell are you anyway?"

"My name is Mwu La Fllaga. Angel in charge of the, er, midgets. First class. And by midgets I mean people like you. Newcomers." Mwu said irritably. "This means that, I, will have to help people like you to 'choose' wisely on what sort of angel you would become."

"What do you mean; you mean that I will become an angel like you?" Shinn got really annoyed.

"Mwu!" a female voice called out. "Have you been bullying the new kid again?"

"Eh? Murrue?" Mwu's face turned a little pink. "Er, ah... No, obviously not. I was just explaining…"

"Explaining?" Shinn rolled his eyes. "Talking crap I think."

"So you've been bullying the new kids again!" a tall woman with shoulder length chocolate brown hair and dark brown eyes appeared beside Mwu. "Caught you red-handed!"

"Uh, no! I wasn't!" Mwu protested.

"Um, excuse me! Then can you please answer me?" Shinn was kind of annoyed. They were, after all, ignoring him. Sort of.

"Ok, well, people like you who are half good half bad usually end up being angels," the woman who Mwu had called Murrue smiled.

"Angels? You mean the kind we see at Christmas?" Shinn's eyes nearly popped out. "You've got to be kidding!"

"No, not those kinds. There are 4 kinds of angels who have to 'work'. They are the love, hope, guardian and death angels," Murrue explained. Seeing Shinn's still puzzled face, she decided to elaborate further. "The guardian angels guard the person they are supposed to guard from danger, the love angels help to people who are destined to be together be together, hope angels give hope and death angels put people at peace before they die."

"Er, ok. So what am I?" Shinn asked, half of him understanding fully what Murrue had said while the other half, the opposite.

Murrue, who had been wearing a snow white off the shoulder dress which gathered together at her waist and then flowed down all the way to the floor and made Mwu drool, all of a sudden produced a dice from between the folds of her dress. "Roll it," she said as she passed the dice to Shinn.

Shinn took the dice rather obediently and rolled it. There were six colours on the dice, blue, black, green, yellow, red and white. Shinn had gotten yellow.

"Ok, Shinn Asuka, you have just been assigned by me, Mwu La Fllaga, head angel of the blah blah blah as a…" Mwu looked up just in time to see the dice's top colour, which had been yellow, to a faint shade of lilac. "Oh. Ooh! I see! So you're the special case! Very well then. From now on, you, Shinn Asuka shall be the new guardian angel of Stellar Loussier!"

"Huh?" Shinn was kind of stunned. "What do you mean? And who Stellar what's-her-name?" then he took a deep breath and said it. "I'm going to be the guardian angel of a GIRL?"

"My… This kid accepts death really quick… I've seen many break down or cry, but Shinn… Treats it as if its nothing at all…" Murrue whispered to Mwu.

Mwu rolled his eyes. "He's special." Then he turned to Shinn. "She's a special case and she really needs a guardian. This girl has a special condition that up till now no one has been able to cure. None of her guardians, apparently, manage to cure her. But we think you can!" Mwu finished brightly.

"Me?" Shinn laughed." Me? Don't kid me. What the hell can I do?"

"Lots. If you tried," Murrue said quietly.

"We're not joking. And anyway, here's her file. The trip down to Earth is free but you've got to find accommodation yourself. Oh yeah, since now you're an angel, you don't have to eat. Bon voyage!" Mwu closed Shinn's file and passed a pink coloured file to him.

"Oh yes, and congratulations, Shinn, on earning your wings!" Murrue grinned pointing to two small cute white wings which had just popped out of Shinn's back.

"The hell! I've got wings too? I thought this job was just temporary!" Shinn moaned.

"Unfortunately, no. Ok! Bye!" Mwu snapped his fingers and muttered something.

As Shinn started to vanish, Murrue called out "Remember, if you want to fly, just think of flying and you will!"

And Shinn disappeared completely from the Gates of Heaven.
