The day went by fast. The girls hung out together all day sharing stories and teaching Hikari and Denki how to fight and use ninjutsu. Soon the sun was setting and everyone decided to turn in for the night.

Just as they walked to the front of the mansion, Tenshi wondered if Kankuro was home. She rushed in and knocked on his door. No answer. "Kankuro, are you in here?" Tenshi asked. There was still no answer. She opened the door and looked inside. No one was in there. She sat on his bed and looked at the pictures he had framed on his nightstand. One was a picture of him, Gaara, and Temari and the other was of him and Temari. She smiled.

Someone knocked on the door. Tenshi turned and saw Gaara. "Is Kankuro here?" He asked.

"No." Tenshi replied. Gaara had a puzzled look on his face. "Why? Should he be back by now?"

"Yes. He usually finishes a mission right away. This is very unusual." Gaara replied. Tenshi's heart skipped a beat. She feared something has happened to Kankuro. She got up and walked passed Gaara. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Kankuro. Something might have happened to him." Tenshi replied. Gaara grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.

"You don't know what happened. Let me send someone to find him." He offered.

"No, I want to go."

"Then I'll come with you." Gaara said. Tenshi smiled slightly and kept walked with Gaara following her.

"Hey, where are you going?" Hikari asked from her room.

"We're going to find Kankuro. Just stay here ok?" Tenshi told her.

"Why should I listen to you?" She asked.

"Because I already had a friend killed because of me. I don't want that to happened again and besides, you aren't even a real ninja yet. Just stay here." Tenshi said with a stern voice. Hikari nodded and went back into her room without a word.

Tenshi and Gaara came to a stop once they reached the outside of Sunagakure. "What's wrong?" Gaara asked.

"I don't know. Something just feels wrong," Tenshi replied. "Whatever, let's just go."

"Alright." Gaara nodded and they were off.

Tenshi was in a daze. As if this whole trip was a dream and nothing was real. She didn't feel tired of hungry the whole way. Gaara led her to where the mission was supposed to take place. There was blood everywhere and many ninja had been killed.

"Oh no." Tenshi gasped. From not too far away, she could see Kankuro lying on the ground. "Kankuro!!" She ran to him and knelt beside him. She put two fingers on his neck and felt for a pulse. To her relief, she found a pulse. "He's still alive," Tenshi smiled with a tear rolled down her cheek. "He's still alive."

"We have to get him back to Suna now!" Gaara said. Tenshi nodded.

They carried Kankuro back to Suna and brought him to the hospital. Tenshi sat in a chair beside him bed and stayed there until he woke. "Tenshi?" He asked.

"Kankuro," Tenshi smiled. "I'm glad you're ok."

"They kept me alive for a reason." He said.

"Who?"

"The men that brought you here," Kankuro replied. "They killed everyone but me to give you this message saying that your friends weren't supposed to be here and that you changed everything they planned."

"Planned?" Tenshi asked. She couldn't believe this. The men that brought her here were planning what would and wouldn't happen?

"They said that they control your life here, that they can make anything they want happen since they're the reason you're here in the first place." Kankuro breathed.

"They can't control me, Kankuro." Tenshi said putting her hand in his.

"How do you know they wont kill you?" Kankuro asked her. "I don't want to lose you again."

"I feel the same way with you, Kankuro. I can't bare to lose you or anyone else that I care about. It's time I take a stand and find these men." Tenshi got up and started to walk out of the room.

"Wait," Kankuro called. "What if something happens to you?"

"Then I'll go back to the world I once lived in." Tenshi replied walking out of the room.

"Tenshi!" Kankuro yelled but she ignored him.

"You're very independent and don't let anyone get in your way. It's frustrating to everyone around you." Hikari said as Tenshi passed her in the hall.

"I don't care. I'm going to find these men and kill them." Tenshi growled.

"You do this a lot, don't you?" Hikari asked.

"What?" Tenshi asked as she stopped and turned to Hikari. Hikari smirked as she turned to face Tenshi.

"You go off in rage wanting to kill someone but you end up killing yourself in the process or getting injured in some way that you'd have to be hospitalized for a week or so." Hikari explained.

"You do realize that I'm the reason this is all happening right?" Tenshi asked. "I was the one that wanted to come here all those years ago, I'm the one who fell in love with Kankuro, and I'm the one that Kiba fell in love with. Everything is my fault."

"Not exactly." Hikari objected.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Denki and I kinda tweaked your brain waves, slightly, to free ourselves from your mind. We didn't want to tell you because we thought that it wasn't all that important and it wouldn't do anyone harm but it was the cause of people being killed and Kankuro being severally injured." Hikari explained. Tenshi's eyes were full of rage.

"Are you saying that you're the reason I almost lost Kankuro?" She asked walking closer to Hikari.

"I'm not saying that it's totally our fault but we probably played some part in it." Hikari said as she backed away from Tenshi.

"You little…"Tenshi grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall. "You and Denki are the reason for all of this?"

"I never said that."

"I don't care! I bet you and Denki planned this." Tenshi growled as her eyes turned black and her wings sprouted.

"We didn't do anything like that, Tenshi. Pull yourself together and think for a second." Hikari said sternly. She had never seen Tenshi like this before. It was quite surprising to her. Tenshi didn't move. She just glared at Hikari as her grip tightened on her neck.

"Tenshi," Kankuro said as he put his hand around Tenshi's wrist. "That's enough." Tenshi let go and Hikari fell to the ground gasping for air. "What's wrong with you? You're acting very strange." Tenshi didn't answer him. She struggled out of Kankuro's grasp and walked slowly down the hall. No one stopped her. "I don't get it." Kankuro sighed.

"It's her Shadow Angel form. It's finally taking over most of her body." Hikari told her once she got up.

"Huh?"

"Shadow Angels aren't exactly a happy species, Kankuro. They're basically made up of anger, sadness, jealousy, and every other horrible emotion. Tenshi was able to keep that part of her from showing most of the time, keeping a happy demeanour. That's why she was so happy most of the time when she met you. Anyway, they normally kill anyone that angers them without a second thought and wont stop until the person or people are dead. It looks like Tenshi cant control it anymore and it's taking over her. Soon she will be a full Shadow Angel." Hikari said with a sad tone.

"Then what should we do?" Kankuro asked. Hikari looked at him with sad, half open eyes and he knew exactly what she meant. "No. No, I'm not going to do that, Hikari."

"It doesn't have to be you that does it, Kankuro." Hikari told him.

"Either way, I wont let anyone hurt her." Kankuro growled.

"Whatever, you know what we have to do and you'll have to face it some time or another." Hikari said as she walked away leaving Kankuro alone in the hall thinking of what must be done.
