Chapter 8

A Little Information

"Hiya Alix-chaaan! It's like.. Your… Early-like birthday present! Whoo! Got any coffee?"

He was talking as if he never… died. She was sure as hell he had passed away. He did pass away; so there was no way in hell he could have been standing in front of her, asking for coffee, and talking about her birthday - which was about a week and a half away. What was with some people? Gaara's little… 'present' for saying he'd rape her willingly.. Life sucked sometimes.

Mike could see the confusion, and sadness run through her eyes at his little 'death trip' that he managed to conjure up. Of course, if people would have paid strict attention to exactly what he had looked like without all the blood at first, they would have known it wasn't him. The normal Mike found it hilarious that they could confuse them so much, but that wasn't as funny as it should have been. He never would have thought that Omen would have came at that time, showing her to him. That is why is chose to stay back and watch from a distance.

He had watched as Gaara and Alix hugged on the night he 'died'. He watched them hug once more on that same roof when MaiAki was in the Hospital after the attack 4 Jounin's had did on her. Had it not been for him to jump in when she passed out, she would have died that night.

Of course, Mike had always been one of Alix's good friends and to see her with the Kazekage of Sand made him a tad bit jealous.. Well, tad bit wasn't the word. More like outraged. His feelings stayed a secret with himself, only for him to know, but MaiAki managed to get something small out of him when they were younger. Of course, he never admitted it directly to her, and now that Alix was in love with Gaara there wasn't really anything he could do but be happy she found someone. She had stated to him before that he was like a brother to her, and made fun of him; whilst he felt crushed that day and sulked, of course, Alix didn't know.

His smile seemed to brighten and he moved towards her, engulfing her into a hug. Of course, her being shorter than him her face managed to dive into his shoulder, which caused her to whine and pull back. He laughed nervously, and scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry, Alix-chan."

"But.. I thought.. You.. I saw and you..--"

"Alix-chan, I didn't die. The one who had attacked me did! Of course, Omen only show's after-images of what happens, and I showed them to her. I guess it turned out to be something like a plan that I didn't really plan…" He cocked his head to the side, trying to figure that out. Now he was confused. Sighing, he crossed his arms over her broad chest and thought for a moment. "Anyways, uh, yeah. The Shinobi that was covered in my blood - mind you I had been wounded seriously - I had used the technique to make him look like me, Yanno that… Thing, 'cause I can't remember the name right this moment…"

"Get to the point!"

He flinched, but nodded. "Anyways, when I knew that you had come back, I knew Omen had showed you what had happened. So, this created my new mission. And that was to sit back and watch almost every move you made. Of course, I respected your privacy, so don't hurt me. You have no right too!" At the last part he pointed at her, skidding back his left leg a little too far and falling on his face, like a not-so-graceful Shinobi. His response from her was a giggle.. Which scared the hell out of him and caused him to jump up and stare at her.

"Y-you g-g-giggled.."

"…No I didn't!"

"Yeah, you did!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Shut up, douche bag!"

His eyes widened and he mocked hurt, before settling down and looking at her seriously. "The reason I called you out here, onee-san, was because Omen cannot train you as fast as I can. I have been able to slaughter the messenger for timing and information on the assault on Sand, and it is to happen on your birthday. Gomen if it's odd. But nonetheless, I have a week and a half to train you completely so things will go by faster and be painful."

"Okay, wait, before we started this. I want you to explain to me what your mission is. Was you being with me the whole time since my family was murdered that you've been 'watching' me."

He paused, not knowing what to say, afraid he might hurt her feelings. "I.. Yes. I was to watch you, watch abnormalities after the Soshikage saw you that day when your parents died, he knew Omen sent those images to you, and he worried for you. He didn't want you to be hurt by her so he needed someone to be a 'balance' per say. To be someone to help if the time was to arise that you went insane on bloodlust. That is was Omen is. She is a killer, a demon that will kill or hurt anyone close to her. Though, I see she hasn't made a move." He took a deep breath, as if to say it in one. "But! When I had called you an 'Angel of Death' That was Omen's name in the area. Why? Because she has black wings, making her look like an angel from hell, and Death came from her killing many, many people. Thus creating 'Angel of Death'."

Alix nodded, Omen shifting around her mind, uncomfortable with what Mike was saying. It was odd he knew so much about Omen, while she had no clue.

"What about the whole healing thing? If she is an Angel of Death, why would she be able to heal people and or herself? That's quite contradicting in a sense…"

'It's because I used to be a… pure.. Angel at one time. Before my love was killed. The necklace you carry around your neck right now, holds his spirit. It holds my feelings of wrath, resentment and devastation.'

Mike knew that Omen had told her, and allowed alix to speak out through mouth, while Omen responded in her mind.

"So, because this is your loves spirit, he calms you so you don't make me go insane?"

Omen nodded. 'Yes. Like the same when your around Gaara and your sad, when he hugs you, you feel like he could make all the pain go away and stay away… That is what he could do with me.'

Alix stayed quite, thinking it over, her eyes then shifting towards Mike, she gave a small smile. "You say a week and a half?"

Mike nodded, taking a candy bar out of his pocket and opening it, putting it to his lips. "About that."

"I want it done in a week."

His eyes widened, choking on the candy bar. "You'll die if I put that much pressure on you!"

"I have someone I want to protect… and I'll do it no matter what. Nii-kun, Kudasai?"
