Chapter Six

1st POV (Satan)

"Are the armies gathered?" I asked my minion, Kazuomi. He bobbed his head nervously. "Good, what about their training?"

"They are fighting all the lesser demons outside of the palace grounds." Kazuomi lied. They do not even try to co-operate, but who am I to tell that to the Devil?

"Who indeed?" I murmured. I stood up and walked over to him. He trembled in fear. A drop of sweat found its way through his rough features, and he blinked his beady eyes.

A messenger spoke up. "Sir, you have a message from Ikuto." I paused and looked at the messenger.

"You have been saved for the moment." I told Kazuomi. He bowed his head meekly. The messenger brought a square little disk to me. It was silver with a red button on it. I dropped the disk and stepped on the red button.

A hologram of Ikuto flickered blue and black. He started talking. "My master, I have reached the Heavens and I have been assigned an assisting Angel. However, the Angel is not very co-operative and she has decided to exploit our little plan. But, she's nothing my little "kitty charms" will not win over." Ikuto smirked, remembering something in the near past. The image flickered and another one reappeared.

It was Ikuto again, yet this time he was a little flustered. "Master, I've heard an interesting prophecy from a seer." Knowing Ikuto, he probably eavesdropped on the prophecy. "It says:

Beware the eyes,

Of scarlet twilight.

Beware the soul,

Of pure gold.

Beware the traitor,

Who creeps with the night.

For the end could terminate us all.

Family meetings, indistinct grieving,

Must be avoided, save for once.

The power to destroy all three,

Rests in the hands of an unstable soul.

Love will conquer, or will hate?

This comes down to the final straw,

It affects the heart, so raw."

"I have considered every possible outcome of this poem and this is what I have come up with. The Saint has been warned that some kind of a war will take place, though he hasn't figured that out yet. There is a soul that has the power to destroy all three Realms, and it must be found so we can use it. And last, they will soon figure out that I am the traitor. With all due respect, my Lord, you must hurry the battle plans so I can give you the indication to attack." Ikuto disappeared with a flash of black.

I thought out my plan of attack and looked into the crevices of my mind to beat the prophecy. When I was done, I looked to Kazuomi. "Change of plans, Kazuomi." He stood straighter and leaned his head towards me. "Get ready to listen, this will not be easy."

1st POV (Amu)

"Shhh…be quiet, or he'll hear you!" I hissed through my lips. I was hiding behind a huge Corinthian column with my friends. Nagihiko, Kukai, Tadase, Yaya, Kairi, and Utau were grouped around me, and Yaya was complaining that she couldn't breathe.

"Yaya wants to go back to her room so she can eat!" whined my childish friend, talking in third person. She was in the Entertaining Force, along with Nagihiko and Utau, but she and Nagihiko danced while Utau sang.

Kukai, Kairi and Tadase all worked together in the Register Force. Kairi was serious, but Kukai was quite playful and Tadase was…well, flustered. And we were all gathered, in our similarities and differences, to help me spy on the cat-demon known as Ikuto. Or if you prefer to call him Cheshire Cat, either one is fine with me.

"Now why are we helping you find this cat-guy anyways?" asked Utau, as if reading my mind.

I replied not looking away from the form of Ikuto, which was in the library looking through some books about our history. "Because I don't trust him."

Utau scratched the back of her head. "But, all the people I've talked to said that he's really charming and fascinating…" I raised my eyebrow.

"Were the "people" you talked to all girls?" I asked with a suspicion. Utau nodded and I said, "Well that's your answer."

Looking really confused Utau shook her head and demanded, "Let me see him!" She pushed her way to the edge of the column and peered towards the silent figure of Ikuto. As she looked at him, her eyes glazed over and red hearts seemed to appear in her eyes.

"Utau's in love!" exclaimed Yaya. Kukai, who wasn't really paying any attention to what we were doing, looked over at her confounded position and looked really jealous.

"What's so good about this Ikuto guy, anyways? I've seen him before and he's not that impressive." Kukai grumbled, clearly disappointed that Utau had fallen for a demon, instead of him.

1st POV (Ikuto)

They were being obviously loud, so loud that I could hear them all the way inside the library and the glass doors were shut. The red head was complaining about me, and Amu was trying to see what I was doing, while shushing the others for being loud.

Me, I was trying to get some information about Heaven's history. It was quite boring, because there had been no wars since the Contract had been signed. Ideas for inventions had been borrowed from the humans and enhanced here. As I put the books away, I concluded that no secrets could be found here.

"Um, are you Ikuto?" a coy voice came behind me. I turned around and came face to face with violet eyes. A girl was looking at me with wide eyes. I stepped back a little and took her figure in.

She had blonde hair, a curvy figure and she wore a pink dress that had pink ribbons and white cloths attached around her arms and legs. She also wore ballet shoes and had angel-wing shaped hairclips attached to her hair, which was in long pony tails. She was cute, but really not my type.

Still, I saw an oppurtunity to shake some secrets out of this girl. "Yes, and you are?" I said charmingly, and she obligingly fell for me.

"I'm Utau! Nice to meet you!" Utau gushed and I smirked, pulling one side of my mouth higher than the other. "What are you doing here?" Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Amu and the red-head fuming, their faces red and their eyes narrowed. This made me smile even more and I took Utau's chin in my hand and answered thoughtfully.

"Well, I was here to get some information on the history of Heaven to see how the structure of your class system is setup, but there were no books on that so I decided to leave." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.

Utau couldn't seem to stop drooling. I gloated inside my head. Well even if my "kitty charms" won't work on Amu, they do work on other people. I paused. Wait, why'm I thinking about Amu?

"Um…would you like me to tell you about our class system?" Utau stumbled across the words, like she was trying to cross the finish line too quickly.

I grinned, and said casually, "Thanks, that would be helpful." I took her elbow and escorted her to a couch. "You can explain it to me here." I breathed, and Utau looked like she was going to faint.

1st POV (Kukai)

That stupid, sly, grinning cat-bastard!! I thought as he took Utau's elbow! My Utau! Mine!I felt stubborn and like a kid with a toy that he just wouldn't give up. Worst of all, I felt like tearing his head off! But I couldn't do that. I was an Angel! And Angels weren't supposed to tear peoples heads off, even if they were demons and were flirting with…with…argh! I don't know!

My face was beet-red, as was Amu's as we looked at them through the glass doors. And then he touched her face and breathed something I couldn't catch. This annoyed me more than anything in the Three Realms. I decided to walk up to them and break it off, but it also seemed that Amu had chosen to do the same thing. But it seemed for a different reason.

1st POV (Amu)

I couldn't believe the nerve of him! Wait, yes I could. Only a demon would take one of my best friends, and flirt with her to find information about us. I gritted my teeth as I stomped through the doors. I realized that Kukai had come with me to break them up.

"Ikuto!" I shouted with my quietest voice. It was a library, after all. His cat ears perked up as he heard his name and he looked around until he found us.

"Utau! Get away from him!" Kukai, too tried to keep his voice to minimum level. Utau pouted like a little kid—or maybe like Yaya (who, along with Nagihiko, Tadase, and Kairi watched what we were doing with interest.)

"Ah, Amu. Why did you interupt our little conversation?" Ikuto asked, almost lazily. I glared at him. "Maybe you were jealous?" He implied with a sly smirk sliding onto his face.

I ignored him and went to Utau. "Let's get out of here, being with this man is dangerous." I whispered so we wouldn't attract much attention, but Utau started to struggle.

I looked to Kukai pleadingly and he obliged to my silent request. He took Utau by the waist and carried her bridal-style outside. Utau had a blush on her face, but she didn't complain.

"How dare you!" I glared at Ikuto with daggers in my eyes. He looked bored and started to look in some bookshelves. "I'm talking to you! Can you at least try to act polite?" Ikuto rolled his eyes and turned to look at me.

"Yes, Amu?" He emphasized my name. I tried hard not to stutter or let the blush break onto my face. Fortunately for me, I suceeded.

"Did you really feel the need to flirt with one of my best friends to get information about us?" I asked, scathingly.

"Well, I wasn't really flirting…" Ikuto lied jovially. I snorted. "Fine, maybe I was. But I wouldn't have to if you did your job as my assisting Angel!" He had a good point there.

A spark of an idea came to me and I thought it over in my head and pronouced it out slowly. "Wait, if I were to assist you in your work, you wouldn't bother anybody else?" I asked. Ikuto nodded. "Okay, then. I'll help you, but you have to promise not to go to anybody else for answers."

"I promise, Amu." He emphasized my name again. Then a smirk streched across his face and I wondered what exactly I had gotten myself into.

1st POV (Ikuto)

Too bad for Amu. She should know that us demons don't keep their promises.
