AN: Ok I know I am updating quickly but I have some of these chapters prewritten, and I am working on during my down time typing a chapter a day more maybe more. (Depends on how it flows, I am really inspired by my reviewers) My time may vary my mother her best friend and I together are starting up a business. It's a lot of work let me tell you. We are in stage one planning and getting everything sorted out starting the bed in breakfast is step twenty so you get the idea.

AN2: Psychotic Sprite asked me an excellent question what are the pairings if there are any.

Yes there are pairings but they will be discrete sorry lemon fans but I am focusing on the story rather than the romance.

Definite the pairings are

Eventual one sided Hyuuga/Hariel

At the moment Hyuuga just sees Hariel as an interesting new 'toy' to play with

Possible pairings are:

Frau/Teito

Castor/Labrador

Hakuren/Teito

Frau/Hariel (explosive relationship here hehe)

For any with suggestions for Hariel's pairing please leave a review with your choice, you may even convince me to change the pairings I have so far

Chapter Three: Of the calms before storms and accidental revelations

Or: Thanks to Teito's big mouth Hariel finds out about the eye

A few hours after Aldo's body was found Hariel was heading towards bishop Castor's room it was time for the for lack of better word confrontation. If those three were meeting to night it most likely would be there, as he seemed to be the leader of the little group. Hariel's reasoning proved to be true, no sooner had he knocked on the door he was being grabbed and pulled in to the room. The door closed with a sharp snap. Hariel found himself face to face with the three bishops.

The atmosphere in the room was intense the usual banter was gone and in its place was dead seriousness. "Well isn't this cozy" Hariel drawled raising an eye brow in his best Draco Malfoy impression minus the attitude. Castor went right along with him. "Yes its quite cozy isn't it?" He asked lightly before leaning forward into Hariel's face with a disconcerting smile on his face. Hariel was starting to realize why Frau was scared of this guy. "Now why don't you tell us who you really are? Why you are really here. What you are because you obviously aren't human and what you are trying to gain from infiltrating the church?" All this was said with a smile and a sickeningly sweet voice. Hariel was hard to intimidate but damn this guy was doing a great job with out trying.

Hariel sighed he was not going to get out of this one he was in a room with three powerful nonhumans with the door locked. So he settled for getting comfortable in a chair at a table and motioning for the other three to sit down. Hariel smiled at Labrador directing what he was going to say to him. Hariel was still mad at the other two bishops.

To begin with who I am I suppose I should answer who I was. This is not originally my world. I didn't know how I got here other than after being betrayed by those I counted my dearest friends I was sentenced to death through a mysterious veil in a place called the department of mysteries in governments head quarters. That means of execution hasn't been used by that government in many years but I consider myself lucky no because I survived, but the other method of 'execution' in my home world is having your soul devoured by a wraith like creature called a dementor. The reason I was to be executed the way I was supposed to be was due to the cruelty of by betrayers. During a battle in the war that had taken place in my world my godfather the only parent figure I have known was pushed through it by his cousin." Here Hariel had to pause. Greif over Sirius though old was very painful. Hariel hopped he was still alive after he himself had been pushed through the veil and survived. But the world was a big place and he had yet to find his beloved Godfather and had no idea if he was alive or dead. (1) He could even be in a different dimension than this one for all he knew.

"When I landed I was in a remote area of the former Raggs kingdom. It was shortly after I came across two people. A mother and daughter named Anita and Claire (2), they were free Raggs Kingdom survivors and they took me in and later I was adopted as a son and big brother. It was Anita and Claire who taught me the Raggs language which was the only language they spoke. I came to consider myself part of this world and a member of that family. I consider myself a child of Raggs (3). A few months later I was captured diverting the military from Anita and Claire… I was sold into slavery. I escaped a year and a half later due to the stupidity of my master. It was then I left my original name behind." He looked up from where he had been staring at the table. "I was once known as Harry… but that name doesn't exist in this world. After I escaped I renamed myself Hariel and started the… resistance. So the answer of your First question is this. I am Hariel Leader of the Resistance, and a proud child of the Raggs Kingdom.

"Why I am here is a much simpler matter. The military is starting to stealthily move in on the church and has been for a while now. I came to investigate the matter myself and found not an answer but a mystery. Why are the military and kor interested in this church when before they avoided it? What does this have to do with Teito Klein? It was only after he came here that these events started happening." Hariel looked to the three bishops none seemed forth coming, but they weren't hostile either. He'd take that as a good sign.

"As to what I am, that is a more complicated question. I guess you could call me a hybrid. My father was human, and my mother was an immortal nature spirit from my world that are called nymphs, though no one knew it, I don't even think she knew the truth until later. I wouldn't know they were killed when I was a baby. But that is what I am with out going into a lecture."

"What I am trying to gain from infiltrating the church is information to further the resistance. We need to know what is going on in the world to act accordingly. After I find out what I can and find out how to use it to help the resistance with out hurting the church, I will leave. I will need to leave shortly anyway as I received a message from another member that the military is soon to move on Antwort and we need to get set up to help as many people escape from the military as possible. The military is sending the Black Hawks to deal with Antwort." Hariel said grimly.

"He is telling the truth" Said the quite voice of Labrador; a flowering vine was curling around his hand as he spoke. "The flowers vouch for his honesty and say he is an ally not a threat." After this proclamation the atmosphere in the room which before had become oppressive calmed considerably.

Many things were said through out the night. Hariel found out about the three bishops being three of the seven ghosts. It was impossible to keep from him as he could sense their no humanity, and erasing his mind would do no good. They also were discussing theories about what was happening and what to expect from the current goings on in the church. It was agreed by all four of them to proceed with caution. Hariel even consented to let castor baptize him to add another protection from the dark evil after them all. Hariel suggested planting discrete flowers in various areas of the church to act as sentinels to which Labrador happily agreed with his idea. A tentative friendship was stuck up between the four, even though it was to Hariel a love hate relationship with Frau and Castor. Say what you like but Hariel would not forgive the doll for ruining his hard work, nor Frau or ogling him when they first met. He could and would be petty like that for at least another week.

Soon however the conversation had to come to an end. Trying to pull secrets out of ghostly gods or not they all had work in the morning. As it was they were only going to scrape a couple hours of sleep was it was. Bidding them good night he made a tactical decision, skip breakfast to get an extra thirty minutes of sleep. As soon as he slipped into bed spy or not Hariel was dead to the world for the next four hours.

-Next morning-

Hariel was contemplating homicide at this point. His junior fellow apprentices were evil demons he was sure of it. One of the kids had managed to melt his mortar… Hariel had no idea how in the hell the kid managed it, the herbs they were using weren't even acidic! Hell they were just at the first step grinding rosemary and lemon grass together anything volatile shouldn't even be possible! Hariel didn't even bother to assign them an essay or tell them to practice on their own. He was exhausted and evil demons masquerading as children were not of his list of giving patience to at this point. They seemed to get the idea as when he told them to go away they ran with looks of fear on their faces. They should be afraid that concoction managed to get a hole in his stupid church robes! He didn't want to buy another pair!

-The after life-

Severus Snape was laughing gleefully hatching Potter suffer as he had for decades at Hogwarts. It was about time the Potter brat got what was coming to him! Maybe next time one of the wonder demon children tormenting Potter would manage to catch the brat's robes on fire!

-Back at the church-

A shiver ran down Hariel's spine. Someone wished him grievous harm but that wasn't anything new. He shrugged it off how ever as he noticed his robe disintegrating further. He needed to change; Hariel really didn't want to explain why he was wearing a sklave collar or a tattoo marking him a sklave (4) to any nosy people in the church. Hariel made his way back to his room tossing the robe in the trash once he got into the safety of his own quarters.

Digging through his rucksack he realized belatedly that the two spare set of civilian clothes he had packed were dirty. All he had in his moke skin pack was money, weapons, fake passports, one set of civilian clothes that would not work in this situation, unless he wanted to explain why he was wearing a dress. It was his escape dress, when the military was looking for the leader they were looking for a young man not a woman. Other than that was what he wore as the leader of the resistance, black leather pants a loose white shirt, black vest and knee high black boots. They didn't exactly fit in this world very well, he had made them himself. They were great for both business and unexpected fights; however they made him stand out like a sore thumb.

Between that and slightly dirty clothes he'd just wear a dirty shirt and the leather pants, he'd wash his clothes in the court yard later.

Hearing the bell chime in the tower Hariel grinned as his stomach growled. Finally it was time for lunch! Lunch was a speedy affair for Hariel as well as uneventful. He was after all in a hurry. He had to finish his work for that lazy infirmary head, dispose of the deadly toxic work of the junior apprentices in time to get to the library. As it was Hariel didn't even sit down. He just grabbed some bread cheese and an apple to go. He needed to look for a place to dump that acid the kid had made. He really didn't trust washing that down the sink, it might melt the pipes.

Three o'clock came slower than it ever had before for Hariel. He could hardly finish the work he had for looking up at the clock every five minuets like an impatient child. When the clock finally did chime three Hariel was shooting through the halls like a bullet barely managing from bowling over the other people in the hall way.

Finally he would learn to read. Bastien-sama looked up from the materials he has set out for him. "Lets get started Hariel-kun" he said with a gentle smile. Hariel happily threw himself into work.

-An hour an a half later-

The lesson with Bastien-sama had been great as far as Hariel was concerned, Bastien-sama himself was very pleased Hariel was not only putting such an effort into his studies but was catching on very quickly, even if his attempts at writing were messy. What Bastien didn't know and Hariel wasn't going to enlighten him of, was despite the strange alphabet the spellings, and writing styles of this world were luckily not very different from his own.

Bastien-sama and he were in the process of leaving the library, Hariel's beginner books clasped to his chest when they came upon a strange sight. That Oak kid Hariel didn't like very much Handing Bishop Frau a book while Teito or what ever the other kid's name on looked on. Normally that in itself wouldn't be an odd occurrence… but no one should have that look when opening a History book. Nor should they seemingly bond instantly with the person handing them said book. Nor was the semi maniacal laughter, or so it seemed to Hariel but he admittedly was biased against the pervert, from the two normal when conversing about a book. Teito's yell about bribery caught Bastien-sama's attention. The man didn't hesitate so whack Frau on the head. Hariel's opinion of Bastien-sama rose exponentially after that. Anyone willing to hit the guy, other than the evil doll maker, was great in his book. But what Bastien-sama said next nearly had Hariel falling over in laughter. "You naughty boy bishop Frau" Hariel silently snickered. As Bastien confiscated Frau's porn, Served the pervert right. No Hariel wasn't still mad over being mistaken as a girl and ogled by Frau no not at all. Who was he kidding? Break out the popcorn he wanted to watch the show and laugh at the pervert. Far to soon however the fun was over. Of well hopefully he'd have a chance to watch Frau sulk over his porn being discovered and confiscated another time. "Oh that's right Bishop Castor was looking for you" Bastien-sama said to Frau as the three of them were turning to leave. "Seriously? That sucks." Was Frau's reply, Hariel was about to put in a teasing partly threatening remark about Telling Castor about his porn stash in the library when they were interrupted.

"Bishop Frau!" Said Teito. The trio stopped to hear what the kid had to say. "Huh?" was Frau's oh so articulate reply. "I wanted to ask you something about last night. Would the seven ghosts really kill Aldo like that?" Hariel couldn't help but be impressed with the guts the kid had to ask that question. After last nights talk with the three ghosts he was made aware that Teito had found out, but annoyingly the reasons why he did were kept from him. Stupid secretive ghosts! Hariel shook his head slightly he was starting to space out he needed to pay attention to this. Hariel came back to himself in time to hear Teito say he just had to know.

Frau to Hariel's surprise gave Teito a truthful answer. In Hariel's experiences of things like this information had always been kept from him. Then again not everyone was a manipulative bastard like Dumbledore. "We don't really know what happened last night. The imperial guard is currently investigating the case." was Frau's calm answer. "The Imperial Guard!" Teito asked shocked. It was here Hariel stepped in. "Aldo died from shock due to blunt force trauma to the Norma Posterioralis…" Here Hariel trailed off at the blank looks he was receiving. "I've been spending to much time in the infirmary let me try again, Aldo died from shock after a fierce blow to the back of the head" It was then that he received comprehending looks. Hariel had to keep himself from putting his head in his hands he was turning into a medical nerd. "Going by the bloody foot prints around the body the culprit probably pretended to need sanctuary and asked Aldo to open the gates." Bastien-sama informed them.

"But that's not enough information to declare that an outsider did it" Said the Oak child that though Hariel knew his name he still didn't like him very much at this point so he was to be called Oak child until further notice. "Are you saying someone here did it?" Asked Teito outraged. "Not exactly but…" started the Oak child morosely. "its important to look at this from every angle. But all church members must sign out when they leave church grounds. Yesterday no one signed out. Although I can not condone the culprit's actions, I still believe people will be punished for their sins even if they are under sanctuary. God will punish people just as he does kor. I am sure Aldo's only way to condone for murder was to die. Everything is determined by the seven heavenly gods. They will never forgive evil." There was a tense silence after this. Every one for the moment was processing their own thoughts on the matter. Teito's little pet Burupya had sensed the tense atmosphere and was cowering slightly before jumping up to Teito's shoulder for comfort. "It's ok. We've doubled security; And God will surely protect those who choose the right." Said Bastien. Hariel had to admire the man, even in a time like this when no one was able to be sure if a killer was among them or not, Bastien was able to give them all a sense of safety. Hariel wasn't the only one that smiled at the encouraging words.

After that they went their separate ways. Hariel went back to his dormitory to get his clothes for a wash. It was nearly dinner time no one would be out in the courtyard at this time. Though it seemed strange to him that this world would have amazing technology like flying motorcycles (with out magic!) and air ships the militaries back in his former world would be salivating over they didn't seem to have basic things like cars or washing machines. That was the reason the church had such a large and ornate fountains wasn't only for cosmetic reasons, but practical as well, Some were a constant source of water in case of sieges, and others were used for laundry. That was where Hariel was headed now with his three sets of clothes, plus the shirt on his back that needed washing. That's why Hariel had waited he needed to take his shirt off for washing. Doing such a thing as going around shirtless in this world was border line indecent especially in a church. They seemed to have a mixture of modern clothing ideas from his former world and a Victorian style combined. It was not only odd but the rules and protocol for clothes were strange. Though they were admittedly much stricter in the church.

Still Hariel would be lying if that were his only reason for waiting until the courtyard was empty to wash his clothes. Having a sklave brand and collar was a pain to say the least. He always had to be very careful to cover his neck completely, as well as make sure his tattoo was covered at all times. So there he was near sun set washing his clothes hidden from view by a large fountain when Teito bursts out of the church and starts staring into it. Hariel didn't know what to do. Teito was crying and Hariel was never really comfortable with other people's emotions, and he would probably make the situation worse by trying to help. He needn't have worried it seemed Bishop Frau came out looking for Teito. Hariel was just going to discreetly gather his things and move, but it was at that moment Teito spoke. What was said in the first sentence caught Hariel's attention.

"You knew about the eye didn't you? The first time Labrador saw the eye he didn't seem surprised at all." "Eye? What eye?" was Hariel's confused thought but before he could finish thinking Teito continued. "I'm truly grateful. You've helped me so much. But why are you keeping me here?" You're trying to use me like the Military did! Are you after the Eye of Mikhail too?" Teito demanded. Hariel was so shocked he let go of his shirt and it was washed away with the current. Teito was the vessel of the Eye of Mikhail. The only vessel the eye had ever chosen with out sucking out a person's soul was a member of the Raggs royal family. Which meant Teito was a direct descendant of the Raggs King. He knew the eye had been missing for several years how many times while serving drinks to Wakaba Oak had the man discussed with his fellow Generals where the eye of Mikhail was. The man had been determined to find it for years, saying something about keeping the power where it belonged, with the Empire and away from its enemies and the sklaves.

For the eye to have been hidden in Teito a combat sklave who was really a prince, no, The King of the Raggs kingdom the entire time was unbelievable. Hariel realized that he had zoned out in shock of what he had heard in time to catch Frau's reply. "Are you in any position to doubt us? You're just a brat unable to escape the military on your own" All this was said in a monotone. "What was that?" Then there was the sound of Teito's lung and Frau pinning him to the fountain's rim. The Same fountain Hariel was hiding behind. "Damn it! Kill me if you're going to." Was Teito's almost broken reply. "you're wrong. I've gotta protect you, but I don't know how long I will be able to stay with you. So become strong! Stand on your own. There are things you want to take care of right? Then learn everything you can while you're here If you don't want to get possessed by a Kor, learn how to fight the darkness.

It was at that moment that Hariel for once in his life chose to come out after blatantly eavesdropping, with out being caught first. He Didn't even care that he was at the moment exposing both his collar and brand to anyone who chose to come out into the courtyard. Teito and Frau both caught sight of him. Teito looked shaken at the fact Hariel had obviously heard everything. Frau indignant that he hadn't sensed Hariel before now. "Oi its not nice to spy on people pretty boy!" Called Frau grumpily. Hariel's reply was throwing the bar of soap at Frau's forehead and getting a direct hit knocking him over for a moment. "You possess the Eye of Mikhail" Hariel said calmly knowing full well that if the eye deemed him a threat it wouldn't hesitate to kill him. "Only those of direct Royal lineage have been able to be a vessel to the eye and live. That makes you the rightful King of Raggs." Hariel then bowed to Teito completely shocking the teen. "If ever you need my help Sire I will do what I am able to help your majesty."

Frau was annoyed by this point he had gotten up seen the pretty boy not only bowing to but giving Teito his loyalty. Teito had no idea that he had the leader of the resistance practically swearing fealty to him. Not to mention he had an imprint of a bar of soap on his Forehead. "Damn, Teito this annoying pretty boy if Hariel of the Resistance, as in the founder and leader of the entire damn thing."

Hariel smirked… "don't mind him, he is still miffed I sniffed out all his porn stashes in the library earlier and if he doesn't behave himself I will be reporting them to both Bastien-sama and Castor." It would be a lie to say Hariel didn't sound smug. "I knew you were evil" Frau yelled, his porn being threatened was no joking matter! However that declaration was ruined by Byurrpah launching himself at Frau and chomping repeatedly on his head while Razette popped up with both Teito's broken bascule and Hariel's shirt. Smiling Hariel thanked the mermaid while Teito handed over the broken bascule to Frau, taking the opportunity to slip one of the drying shirts over his head. Before taking his leave of the pair. He was heading back to his dorm to put his clothes on the clothes line he had rigged when he felt a brief flare of tainted oily and evil power. A power similar to but not the same as the power the man at his shop had oozing from him all those months ago. It was safe to say another person like him was in the church.

The flowers were once again shaking in fear. The times of danger the flowers foretold would begin very soon.

-End of Chapter-

Well how was it? I really hope I kept Castor in character he is the one I have the most trouble with.

(1) Should Sirius be in alive and in the 07 Ghost Universe? Leave me a review to give me your vote! No reviews and Sirius will not be brought in. (Yes you heard me right I am holding Sirius's life in this Fic in the palm of my hands! I demand review responses or he gets it!)

(2) Anita and Claire though very minor Ocs who if they are even seen again will only get a Cameo shot. Are very important to Hariel for one major reason. They were the only ones in his life to accept him and adopt him into their family with no strings attached. The Dursleys had Harry forced on them. They hated him and treated him with hatred and used him as slave labor. The Weasley's (in this fic at least) with the exception of Fred and George (because they are my absolute favorites -huggles the twins- were only acting as a family to Harry for three reasons.

1. Dumbledore was paying them obscene amounts of money for.

2. By doing this Ron and Hermione could manipulate him easily and influence him to make choices that benefited them, plus Dumbledore ordered them too.

3. The only reason they stayed at his side after Dumbledore died was Harry was the only one who could kill Voldemort, and they were hoping that if he died they would get his money for being his 'best friends.

Anita and Claire would have had every reason for turning Harry away from their home but didn't. Even if it started as them giving him food and letting him stay awhile for a silver coin, it morphed into genuine friendship and eventually they adopted him into their family. Hariel becoming Anita's son and Claire's big sister for no other reason then them loving him and his loving them in return. They offered Hariel the one thing he has never had (That he can remember anyway) A family that while not related to him in any since (he's from another dimension for crying out loud!) love and accept him unconditionally like a real family would.

(3) another effect of Anita and Claire since they adopted him to their family he adopted their customs and much of their way of thinking. He truly considers himself a child of the Raggs kingdom because it was a poor Raggs family that had absolutely nothing that gave him his first remembered Real family.

(4) As I see it if Teito has a brand identifying him as a combat sklave other types of sklaves would have a different type of brand. Not only would it designate what the slave did, for example a tattoo for domestic sklaves, a tattoo for field hand sklaves, etc, but it would be impossible to remove. A runaway sklave is not going to be able to go to a doctor and say "Hey can you remove this?" because it would alert the doctor to their runaway status. So even if a runaway got the collar off the band would still be there.

So review question Should Sirius be alive and in the 07 Ghost Universe? (He'll show up much later however I need to work him in)

Give me a review with your answers! Fail to do so and Sirius gets shoved back into the dark abyss of no return!
