Chapter 13. Promise

Ikuto's POV
"Yo dude, what happened to you?" Kukai asked as we walked to school together.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "I'm totally fine."

"Your face doesn't say that." Kukai said as he pointed to a shop window.

I looked at it to see my reflection. There were several bruises and cuts on my face. Shit! I must have gotten those when I got beaten up yesterday. Why the hell did I forget to cover those up? I turned to Kukai, trying to think of a logical explaination. I didn't want to tell him I got in a fight.

"I fell down the stairs." I lied, hoping he wouldn't see through it.

"You're lying." Kukai replied. "I've known you since kindergarden and I know you're not klutzy enough to fall down a flight of stairs. Did you get in a fight?"

I nodded.

"Dude, that's not cool." Kukai said.

"I know, but it's better than seeing a helpless girl get raped in an alley." I said.

"I forgive you, but be careful next time." Kukai warned.

School went by as usual, but in gym class, we were forced to run laps outside in the freezing cold. In the middle of it, I felt the same pain in my stomach and the world started spinning. I collapsed on the ground. I tried to keep consiousness, but my body betrayed me and everything went black.


I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I sat up. Everything was white. I realized I was sitting in snow. The wind was blowing really hard.

'Why am I in the middle of a snow storm? Am I dead?'

I shook my head.

'No, I must be dreaming'

I stood up and started wandering around aimlessly. There was only snow. No trees or anything. Just snow.

'What should I do? There's nothing but snow around here.'

I started shivering but continued walking then gradually started running.

'What am I running away from? Is anyone actually following me?'

I kept on running, not knowing where I was going. I tripped and I didn't bother getting up. I was just lying in the snow. Someone was standing over me. I looked up at the person. I couldn't see his face clearly because of the blizzard. He kneeled down and held his hand out.

"Are you lost?" he asked.

I nodded.

" I see. Come with me. I'll help you." the person said.

I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. He walked away, pulling me with him.

"Wait, where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see."

I just shut my mouth the rest of the way. The air felt warmer all of a sudden and I heard waves crashing. The sun was shining so brightly and the sky was completly blue.

"Why are we at a beach?" I asked.

"It's better than freezing to death in a snow storm isn't it?"

"I guess so." I said.

I turned around. The boy had his back turned to me, walking away. His silver hair was blowing lightly in the breeze.

"Wait! Who are you?" I asked.

The boy stopped walking. He didn't turn his head to talk to me.

"You'll find out soon enough."


My eyes shot open.

"Dude, are you okay?" a voice asked.

I turned my head. Kukai was sitting next to me.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Nurse's office." Kukai replied. "You fainted in gym class. How are you feeling?"

"I still feel sick." I said. " I feel like I'm gonna puke again."

"In that case..." Kukai said as he reached down and handed me a bucket. "Use that."

I gave him a weird look. "Uhhh...Thanks."

"You should go home. I'll come with you if you can't walk on your own." Kukai offered.

"No, it's okay, I'll walk home alone" I said. "Can you get my stuff?"

"Already have it." Kukai said.

He gave me my school bag, my violin, and my school uniform.

"Thanks." I said as I went to go change into my school uniform.

I said bye to Kukai and walked home. I went to my room and just stood there.

'School's not over yet, there's nothing to do, and I don't feel like playing my violin.' I thought.

Suddenly, my bag fell to the floor, textbooks and homework spilled out of it. I kneeled down to pick up the mess. A book caught my eye. I picked it up and looked at it.

'Encyclopedia of Supernatural Beings'

Wait a minute, didn't Hotaru give me this a few days ago?

I shrugged. 'I'll just read this to kill time' I decided as I plopped on the bed and cracked the book open.

I skimmed through articles on vampires, ghosts, and yokai. I stopped at a page which had the blue sticky note on it. I studied the title.

'Guardian Angels'

'This looks interesting' I thought as I started reading the article.

'Normal people can't see them, but their guardian angels are always watching them. Usually, after a person commits suicide, they would grow wings and become guardian angels. Guardian angels are practically invisible and most people cannot see the nor hear them, but in rare cases, some people can hear their guardian angels talking to them or they can feel their guardian angels touching them'

"Is that why I keep hearing a voice?" I asked myself.

I shook my head.

"Yeah right. This is something little kids believe in. Guardian angels aren't real." I said to myself as I put the book on the nightstand.

"Guardian angels are real" a familiar voice said.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh yeah? Prove it." I taunted.

"Remember that amulet you found yesterday?" the voice asked.

I reached over to grab the pendant.

"Put it around your neck." the voice commanded.

I pulled the chain over my head and I let the feather hang from my neck. I looked around the room, expecting to see nothing, but I was wrong.

There was someone standing next to my bed. It was a boy. He looked about my age. He had silver hair, pale skin, and lilac colored eyes that gave him an exotic look. His shirt was left unbuttoned, revealing a well toned chest. The boy had a strange tattoo on the left side of his neck.

This boy was beautiful, too beautiful to be human. I noticed the wings on his back. They looked like they were glowing. He clearly wasn't human.

"Are those wings real?" I asked, still shocked.

The boy just smiled."I'll let you touch them and you can decide that on your own." he said.

I reached for his wings nervously, as if they could burn me if I touched them, but my fingers just flowed through them. They felt so soft, softer than velvet. I pulled my hand away.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Zero Kiryu. I'm your guardian angel." the boy said.

I stared at him for a while, taking it all in. It all makes sense now. The voice I've been hearing was actually my guardian angel talking to me.

"I know, hard to believe, right?" Zero asked.

I nodded. "Were you the one that saved me when I tried to drown myself?"

"Yep" Zero answered.

"And you were the one that bashed that guy's head in with a pipe?"

Zero nodded.

"Why ..." I couldn't finish my sentence. My vision started getting blurry. I wiped away my tears with my sleeve, but they just kept coming.

"Why couldn't you just let me die? Why do you care about me so much?" I asked in between sobs."I'm better off dead, anyway."

Zero wrapped his arms around me. "Don't say that, Ikuto. Do you think Utau and Kukai would be happy if you died?" Zero asked.

I shook my head."No, but Easter might be."

I kept crying into Zero's chest. I felt him hold me tighter.

"I won't let Easter hurt you. I'll always protect you." Zero said. "I promise."
