A/N: I think I am going to shorten my chapters a bit so I can try to update earlier. I am actually pretty bad at updating anything. I am sorry for those of you who have waited but I will try to update faster. If you haven't noticed, I am losing ideas to this story. I know what is going to happen but I don't know how to lay it out. So I might take long but I promise I won't take a year again.

Chapter 6

I ran; harder and harder, faster and faster, pushing my body as far as humanly possible. I hate it. I weave through the forest like a predator chasing its prey in its territory. I smiled like a wild man, wanting to laugh through my panting. I felt tears, threatening to escape my eyes. I held it in and continued to run through the dark forest, never looking back.

This is where things really start.

Normal POV Time- 12:38 PM (Around Lunch Time I think)

I lay in the usual place on the roof as I watched the clouds roll by. There was a pain in the back of my head, over and over again. It has started to happen since I burned the mirror to ashes. I have a feeling I know what it is for but I don't want to find out if I was right or wrong. I continued to watch the clouds even as I felt their presence come closer and closer.

But it wouldn't be any fun if they found me here would they?

I reluctantly sat up and stretched. Given the fact that I was still wounded from the Master's last episode, I winced at the pain it gave it. It felt significantly better though because of Kawano, Megumi. Since she had seen the wounds, she had made sure to change the bandage day after day to make sure it doesn't get infected. I felt my mouth tug into a small smile but I stopped it. It felt weird to smile. I haven't smiled since my mother was gone. Even before that, I rarely smiled. When she did pass on, he made an odd order to me. He had told me, to never show any emotion unless we were in "that" room. Unconditionally, I followed his orders.

I stood up and covered my presence completely just in case the twins touched each other, for they can be actually very strong when they do, as the four walked in. They were smiling freely and reading their faces from previous times, I wished that I could have a normal life like them. I still do. It's just that when I thin1k of my mother, I feel that it was I good thing I was there, because I felt that if I wasn't there, she would have cracked earlier, if she had even cracked at all.

I watched as they sat down with their lunches and laughed at something Niwa, Daisuke had said. He turned red and flustered. I looked back at the clouds as I listened closely to their conversation. I listened as they talked about school activities, personal lives, and… me? I looked back down sharply and covered my presence completely.

"But what role would she have in this whole thing?" Harada, Risa asked. "She is just someone who was quiet and an outcast. The only thing I can think of is that she could be a messenger of some sort. "

"That's exactly why she can be one," her sister argued.

Harada, Risa walked over to her sister and put her hand on her sister's shoulder. "But, something tells me that she is not really a part of this, like, she doesn't want to do any of this…" Wait, she thought, I shouldn't be defending her!

Harada, Riku huffed and said, "Think about it. It practically started around the same time she started school here. Just a few days after she came, that-… that thief person-"

"HakaiTenshi, Riku," Hiwatari, Satoshi interjected, "It's HakaiTenshi, or Destruction Angel."

Harada, Riku nodded at him and continued. "That's right. I couldn't remember her name." She looked to the sky and said, "She doesn't deserve that name. It looks like… she shouldn't be called that because she only shows once in every forty years or so. And to the ones that don't know why she does it thinks she deserve that name but others…" She looked back at them and said, "It seems that she let us see old friends again, don't you think?"

Her sister looked confused for a bit but afterwards looked shocked and worried. Niwa, Daisuke and Hiwatari, Satoshi looked at each other and looked back at her. I was taken back for a second, not because of the fact that she had said that, it was because she thought that HakaiTenshi was a good thing. I just wanted to laugh. What did she know about it? There is a reason why HakaiTenshi is called that! I almost sighed when I saw Hiwatari, Satoshi and Niwa, Daisuke flinch because of that thought. I walked as far back as I could so they wouldn't be able to see me.

Harada, Riku POV Time- 12:44 PM (Still lunch time)

I snapped my head in the direction I saw Daisuke and Hiwatari-kun's head turn in. My eyes widen as I remembered that it was the place where I had seen Hayashi-san was. As Daisuke walked closer to the ladder, I felt it. That feeling that someone is up there. Even if it only lasted for a small second or so, I knew she was there. I turned to my sister and we connected eyes, immediately agreeing that it was Hayashi-san up there. I turned my head and our eyes met. When it did, we knew exactly who it was. It was Hayashi. When I glanced at Hiwatari-kun, I noticed that he was looking at us. He seemed to have figured something out when I glanced at him and he immediately sprinted to the ladder, getting there before Daisuke did. I immediately ran after him, trying to make him stop, but by the time I got up the ladder, he was standing there. Alone. With no one around. Where could she have gone?

Normal POV Time- 12:45 PM

I dusted my skirt as I got up. I looked behind me and looked out the opened window I have come through. It was the window for the supply closet that was conveniently placed, right underneath my favorite place in the whole school was. Every time I have gone up there, I always opened that window just in case I had to quickly get off the roof. As my mother had taught me, watch your surroundings and use them to your advantage.

I walked over and closed the window so that no one could notice that I was here. I knew that the Harada sisters could feel that I was there for a little while. It was because of the fact that I never had proper training. When I close my presence completely, I also close my sense in feeling other people around me. I always knew that because my mother didn't help me, it will definitely affect the way I control my powers. I turned around and walked out of the door, closing it behind me.

Harada, Risa POV Time- 1:09 PM (During Class)

I stared at the text book boringly as the teacher wrote on the board. My mind wandered to what Satoshi had said when we were on the roof.

*Flash Back*

As I got up the ladder after Niwa-kun went up, I saw Satoshi pacing back and forth, back and forth. He looked like he was trying to figure out something. Maybe we were thinking the same thing. If she was really here, then she would have had to jump off so she wouldn't be seen.

He turned to look at Riku and me, and asked, "Do you know who was up here?"

Before I replied, Riku interrupted me. "I don't think I would need to tell you, since it seems that you already know that answer."

I looked at her in shock, wondering why she said that. Before I could ask, again I was very rudely interrupted. "You seem to know something we don't," Riku said pointing to me. "You looked at us and it looked like you already got your answer before we even got up here."

Niwa-kun and Satoshi looked at each other and seemed to come to the same idea. He turned to Riku and said, "Dark and Krad came back."

I stared at Niwa-kun in surprise and a little hurt. I turned to Satoshi and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? This is big! It is definitely important! Why didn't you tell us?" I stomped my foot, not caring if I was acting like a little kid. He should have told us before.

He stared at me but it looked like he was staring through me, which made me feel uncomfortable. I stood my ground and ask, "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

He looked at me and said, "How did you know that Hayashi was up here?"

I looked at Riku while biting my bottom lip. She met my eyes and I looked down. I didn't want to tell them, but I guess we would have to eventually.

*Flash back end*

I shook my head. I don't even want to bother to remember the rest. All I have to remember is the fact that later, Krad, Dark, and Mio are all going to have their talk with each other again. Ever since Mio came back, everything has been… different. I can do things I never was able to do before. When I am with Riku… I feel like I can do anything; like I am invincible. I know it isn't true, but I can… I guess feel if someone is coming. I can't figure out who it is without Riku being there but I can at least know when it I can have my complete privacy when I want to have it. Even I want to be alone sometimes. I sighed and stood up as the teacher called me to read the next text. My friend next to me seemed to have known that I was spacing out because she told me where I was supposed to read.

Normal POV Time- 8:43 PM

I looked through the police files, looking for Hiwatari, Kei, and also looking to see if it had his son too. I stalled looking for this long enough. Master doesn't look too happy that it took me this long to break into the police station. I guess his limit is two days. At least it is longer than other times.

I felt two people coming before I heard their footsteps. I didn't recognize them. I found the files in time before I jumped out of the ledge and climbed to the window next to it. I climbed down to the next window but hung there against the wall to listen, to see what they would talk about. I heard them walk in and one was yelling at the other. My nose crinkled when the smell of alcohol filled the air. I can never understand why people drink it. It dulls everything down until you can't feel anything.

"Waaht are yoush talking abouuuut?" I heard one say.

The other laughed and said, "Yup, you are definitely too drunk to do it the job for me." From his tone of voice, I can tell that he was manipulating the other. I could figure out what he is thinking. Even drunk, he will always obey.

It was quiet for a bit. I heard the drunken man put his hand on the desk quietly and cleared his throat. "What are you talking about?" I heard a liquid swish around in the glass bottle it was drained from. He placed the bottle down on the desk and said, "Even when I'm drunk, I'm sober. I bet I can do your job with my eyes closed."

I heard the other man smile. "I knew you'd come around. It wouldn't be like you if you jumped off this ship before we even set sail."

The drunken man laughed loudly. As he laughed, it progressively got louder and louder. It started to sound more of a crackle than an actual laugh. My hand tensed. His laugh… it sounds familiar.

He suddenly stops and said, "Even if I did jump off board, the ship wouldn't leave without me, not without the captain's assistant." Heavy footsteps came towards the window and I quickly and quietly moved away into the darkness where the moonlight didn't reach. "Bet I can figure out what you want me to do."

The other man scuffed and said, "I bet you can. Shoot."

The drunken man stared at the moon and said, "You want me," he glanced with one of his eyes towards my way, smiled, and said, "to get that HakaiTenshi out of the way to get what you should rightfully have." I saw a glint in his eye, and even though I knew that no normal person can see me, he was definitely able to see me, or he at least knew that I was there listening. The corner of his mouth turned up a tiny bit when I recoiled only a millimeter. He definitely sees me. But I didn't back down. I didn't want to back down. I watched him like a cat and saw him chuckle. He turned around and said, "I definitely can do this. But~…"

The other man gave him a few seconds of silence before asking, "What?"

He glanced back at me and asked, "Can I play with the mouse before I go for the kill? I mean, cats love to play games, you know?"

The other man chuckled. "Go ahead. I doubt that she could beat you anyways. That even includes the other rats with her." He laughed a bit and said, "All show no action."

I jumped back and threw a knife at the two before I landed on the ground. I flash-stepped to the top of the building where I knew he would have a clear view of me. He turned to me and caught the knives I threw at them before they pierced their neck. I glared at him, my eyes telling him, "If you plan to kill me, do not even dare to touch the others." My glare intensified as I continued, "Not now, not ever!" The man that told him to do the mission shivered as fear ran like a chill down his back. But the other man… he shivered, definitely, but… he shivered in excitement. I knew he threw the bait. And I purposely took it. We both sent a message to each other, "I won't lose to you!"

Niwa, Daisuke POV Time- 9:56 PM

I brushed my teeth, letting Dark talk. He rambled on about how he wasn't able to come out at all to say hi again. I laughed a bit before I rinsed my teeth and spit out the water. I wiped my mouth as Darks voice echoed through my head. I smiled. I really missed this.

"Oi Daisuke!" I heard Dark scream. "Are you even listening to me?"

I laughed and said, "But I already know that you really aren't complaining about that."

Dark got quiet and said, "You changed a lot since I've left. You've matured. I don't know if that should be either a good thing or bad thing."

I chuckled and said, "I didn't change that much. You just have bad memory."

I heard Dark smile and said, "Maybe."

I turned to Wiz and watched him as he ate the strawberries that Mom had gotten him this morning, and thought out loud, "Who is Hayashi, Fuzen anyways?"

Dark stayed quiet for a while, making me think his mind is off somewhere else. As I lowered into my bed a few minutes later, I heard Dark mumble. "What?" I asked him. He didn't answer me but as I was falling asleep, he told me, "I think she is the one that is to start the 'unfortunate events'…"

Hiwatari, Satoshi POV Time- 9:36 PM

I turned the computer that was on the desk. Silence filled the room like a heavy gas. I felt Krad watch me as I scanned through the history of the HakaiTenshi. I continued scrolling down, trying to look for any clue about the thief, even rumors. I continued to scroll down, only finding news articles, talking about the burning of the mirror. As I was about to give up, I found this… let's call it interesting. It was a fan page for HakaiTenshi. I clicked on the link and it asked for a password. I checked the clock and saw that if I tried to crack it now, I wouldn't finish till it turned to twelve. That is something that I would admit to myself at least. Daisuke is a lot better than me when it comes to cracking anything; except eggs. I can cook better than him. Sorry, that was a bad joke.

I wrote the link down on a piece of paper and stuck it in my school pants pocket. I guess I will save that for tomorrow. I walked over to the bed and lay down. "Oi," I heard Krad say. I smirked and said, "I didn't hear you talk all day. I thought you finally shut up."

"Don't think you can get rid of me that easily," he snapped at me. "I needed a day to think."

I got under my blanket and waited for him to explain what he meant. When he didn't, I sighed and asked, "What were you thinking of all day?"

I heard silence after that. I guess he wouldn't want to tell me anything anyways. When he spoke though, I didn't expect to hear him say, "I wasn't sure if she was the one…" When he didn't continue, I realized that I couldn't fall asleep. My body was tired but my mind was wide awake. Hours passed before I finally fell asleep.

Third POV (With Riku and Risa) Time- ?

Riku and Risa slipped into the same dream without knowing it. They looked around, only able to see each other in the darkness of the dream. They talked asking over and over, "Where are we; what are we doing here?" Without knowing, they were pulled out of their separate dreams and put together, allowing them to experience the same things: every pain, every sadness, every happiness. And, without realizing it, their conciseness, their minds, are coming together. Slowly and slowly. Coming together, becoming one person… "Stop!"

The two looked over to the place where they heard the sound. They see her; crying. The two are shocked. They never expected to see her cry, even in a dream. She tried to reach out to them, saying things that they didn't understand. "Don't touch them! Please…" the image glitches. They now see her collapsed on her knees and it broke their hearts to see her like that. "Rip them off, use a knife, use your sword, even use your hands. Just don't touch them!" Suddenly, a silhouette appears before her, with a sword in hand. It lifts her face with the end of her sword and speaks in a disoriented voice. "This isn't like you. I didn't bring you up like this; not broken or someone who cares." It glitches again and now they see her up on her feet and glares at it. She doesn't say anything. Glitches. She looks at the two and does something that surprises them even more. She smiles sadly and mouthed a few words to them as the sword swung.

The scene blacks out. Her smile engraves in their heads. Her last words, it struck them as odd. "I guess I won't be able to fulfill that promise." At that moment, a light shone. As it got closer, it got brighter and brighter. But it didn't burn. It didn't burn their eyes. They look at each other and knew what the other was thinking. That light is the "Haven". They ran towards it. As they ran, they heard a beautiful, graceful voice. "It's time for you two to separate and wake up, don't you agree?"
