Changed : 5 jan 2014

It was late in the afternoon; the sun was slowly descending behind the walls of the great church of Barsburg, leaving the garden and its fountain in dim light. Two bishops walking through the corridors of the church were silently talking about the increasing number of kors that manifested around that church lately. It was weird that these kors were so active. As of late, even during the day they could be found lurking in the corners searching for possible victims with a weak heart.

The biggest worry the bishops had though, was a brown haired boy they had taken to the church after he crashed upon Frau while they were out scouting the area. The boy had suddenly fallen from a hawkzile, heavily injured. It was Frau who caught the boy in his fall and had taken him to one of the guest rooms of the church while the boy was unconscious. The boy was chained and his clothes were ripped due to what seemed like a fight that he had been in not so long ago by the cuts that were still bleeding.

Upon questioning the boy, when he finally woke up, they came to know he was a former sklave of the Barsburg Empire, and was enrolled in the military academy when he had turned fourteen. He had escaped the military on a hawkzile when he found out that the leader of the Black Hawks was not who he was said to be. The boy couldn't tell what it was that didn't add up but it was enough for him to know he had to leave the military as soon as possible. Unfortunately he couldn't prevent being hit by a burst of zaiphon sent by Ayanami himself as he made his escape. When the bishops heard the boy speak of this name a cold shiver had run down their spines, but they didn't let that on to the boy. At that time the boy didn't want to let go of his name and the bishops didn't push him for it. It was obvious that the boy had a great deal of stuff happened to him already and they wanted him to feel comfortable first with their presence. They were certain that the boy would open up to them in his own time.

After a while the boy started to have a glassy look in his eyes before he fell forward, almost falling off the bed if Bishop Frau hadn't caught him. He put him back in bed to let him sleep some more, he was clearly exhausted and the talking hadn't made it any less. The stress he must have had these couple of days, if not his whole life must have had his body running on reserves only, if you took in mind the state of his body.

The three bishops made their leave, all lost in their own thoughts wondering what the boys past must have been, and the man mentioned by the boy, called Ayanami. It was obvious that Ayanami wanted something from the boy, he wouldn't have attacked a run away otherwise, but the Bishops couldn't guess what that possibly could be. Without knowing from each other they all came to the same conclusion, the boy would bring some unwanted trouble to the church and they would help the boy in any way they could.

The fact that the boy was a battle sklave made him very suspicious of anyone that tried to be around him. His harsh training had made him into the perfect battle machine. This was also noticed by the three bishops who came to visit him regularly to check up on his healing, but given some time the boy slowly became less tense around them. Especially with bishop Labrador and Castor the boy began to relax a little and even starting conversation out of his own when they came to tell him it was time to eat. Unfortunately for one bishop it was still very hard for the boy to be around him.

It was now two weeks after he came to the church and still he hadn't told them his name. It wasn't that he didn't want them to tell his name, it was more that he didn't know what they would say if they came to know who he really was. As a battle sklave he had killed many people for his owner Miroku-sama, chairman of the Barsburg Armed Forces. Even when he had enrolled the military academy, he was sent on missions to kill people that bothered his master regularly. This made him well known throughout the Barsburg Empire as being a coldhearted killer of the shadows.

Even though he came to 'trust' Labrador and Castor a little, there was still that one bishop he didn't trust at all. This particular bishop seemed to appear everywhere when he was least expecting it. Every time to boy walked through the corridors of the church and he saw bishop Frau walk somewhere along that same corridor, he made a habit of sticking to the shadows to follow the said bishop around trying not to be noticed. The boy had found out many suspicious thing of the bishop, such as that he smoked and read porn whenever no one was around him. The bishop also seemed to have a tendency to harass the nuns whenever he saw one.

Unfortunately this bishop always seemed to know the boy was around and would eventually after some time turn around and surprise him. When he did so the bishop would ask the scared boy what his name was and after receiving no answer yet again he would turn around and leave the frozen boy behind. He was aware that the boy knew what he did with his own time, but strangely enough he didn't care about that. He didn't care that he didn't seem like how a bishop should be in the boy's eyes. He just wanted for the boy to come to trust him too and for that he thought it would best to be as honest as he could be towards the said boy.

After another failed attempt to trail Frau without being noticed, he came face to face with the said man. Like always the bishop asked about his name. "My name is Teito ok, Teito Klein. Are you happy now!" Teito shouted after the hundredth time Frau caught him trailing and asking him about his name. Frau smirked at first but when he saw the face of the boy before him his smirk fell. Teito was shaking, tears rolling down his cheeks, hands turned into fists as he glared at Frau. Frau frowned at the sight, but didn't dare to say anything anymore, apparently he had gone to far in the little game he though he was playing. Teito turned on his heels and took off, to god knows where, leaving a speechless Frau behind in the library.

Teito found himself running to the only fountain in the church. It was all too much for the boy right now. He didn't had a decent sleep in a while for nightmares about his past as a sklave kept returning, and the lost of his best friend gnawed at his conscience. He hadn't told the bishops about his friend, he hadn't told them that he wasn't alone when he escaped, he couldn't tell them that night.

The sound the fountain always made him calm down when sudden flashbacks from his past came to haunt him. This happened a lot lately for some reason. He thought that maybe the sound of the fountain would calm him down today too. He came to a stop in front of it and put his back to the edge of the fountain while closing his eyes. He pulled his knees up and threw his arms around it, letting his head rest on top of it and letting the tears finally run freely down his cheeks. This is how the two bishops, Labrador and Castor, found him when their walk ended by that same fountain.

Labrador crouched down to level the boy sitting against the fountain. He put a hand on the boy's knee. He could hear the boy silently sobbing. "Are you feeling well?" the bishop asked. The boy sniffed a couple of times before looking at the bishop. He wiped the tears away with his sleeve of the rope he had on and tried to smile, but failed miserably. Tears started to roll down again. Castor put a hand on Labradors shoulder indicating he wanted to get to the boy. Castor pulled the boy on the edge of the fountain before sitting next to him. Labrador went and sat on the other side.

"Can you tell us what happened, is it something that happened here or something that happened in your past?" Castor asked while looking at the boy. He saw the boy's eyes widen for a second at the question and saw Labrador roll his eyes at him. How could he forget that, the fact that they knew about his dreams and the flashbacks, was a power they had from being one of the 07-ghosts, and not something the boy had told them yet. Luckily the boy didn't ask about it and just looked back down at his feet.

Teito told them his name, seeing it didn't matter anymore, Frau already knew and would surely tell the two bishops eventually. "It's both," the boy exclaimed, "I told Frau that my name is Teito, even though I really didn't want to tell that to anyone, but he kept bothering me about it and I just lost it I guess." He looked at Castor for some reaction but didn't get any before he continued. "Why aren't you looking disgusted or scared like everybody does when they are told my name?" Teito asked with a guarded expression on his face. It was Labrador who answered.

"We have heard of the name and what is said about said name," this made Teito slightly choke as his body tensed up to run away when needed. Labrador saw the reaction and put a hand on Teito's shoulder to prevent him from running while he continued, "but you are in a sacred church where everyone can find peace and protection no matter what is said about them, no matter what their pasts hold." Teito slightly relaxed under the firm grip Labrador had on his shoulder. "Nevertheless, we are happy we finally know your name, Teito." Castor finished.

Frau came strolling down from the bushes across from the fountain. "Oi brat, so your name is Teito, big deal, my name is Frau. You just said there was something from your past to, what is it?" Teito looked up at the Bishop coming his way and felt his body tensing while he growled out, "What the hell are you doing here perverted bishop, how long have you been there? Go away I don't want to see that perverted face of yours right now." Zaiphon began to seep out of Teito while he stood up. Labrador let his hand slip down his own body letting Teito do as he wished, he was interested to see what the boy would to the lacking bishop. Blue sparks began to form words, circling Teito's body.

Teito threw a couple of words towards Frau who, in his turn, easily dodged them. Looking at the words now engraved in the ground Frau could read 'die', 'drop dead' and smirked at them. When he looked for more his eyes fell onto another written word. It was less deep than the other two, which made it harder to spot, but the meaning was still quite clear. The words read 'help me'. Frau stared at it for a while, trying to figure the whole meaning behind it not only the obvious one. Coming up with nothing he turned back to face Teito, and the two bishops. The first thing he saw was that Teito's zaiphon had disappeared around his body and that he began to decent to the ground.

Castor was there to catch the boy before he could hit the ground face on. Frau stood frozen on the spot staring at Castor with the unconscious Teito in his arms. "Well Frau, you did it again. Why can't you just leave the boy alone?" Castor knew about the times Teito followed Frau, and how Frau always bugged him in asking Teito's name and all. He had dolls he controlled all over the church to keep a close eye at things. "I… I don't know, OK!" with that Frau stalked away, probably to chase the nuns again or something.

Labrador walked over to where Castor and Teito where and laid a hand on Teito's forehead. "He is burning up, we should probably bring him back to his room," he said to Castor, while the man began to stand with Teito in his arms. "Did you see the words engraved there?" Labrador pointed at the ground, where a minute ago Frau had been, "We need to help him, if only I knew how exactly," he said, before they walked to the room where Teito slept. Castor was deep in thought as he carried the boy, what could be so bad that the boy was unconsciously calling for help from the man he seemed to trust the least.

Frau didn't know what to do. He was confused about the damn brat. He knew he had some flaws, but that didn't make him less trustworthy than Castor or Labrador. 'How come that the damn brat could sit down with them and began to talk, while being around me, he only shouts at me, and after that the damn brat always takes off?' Frau thought when he walked into Castor some time later.

"You should go and apologize to Teito when he wakes up. He is down with a fever right now, but you saw what he wrote with his zaiphon. Maybe you can help him. But first you seem to need to earn his trust cause now he isn't aware that he trusts you too," Castor said, before walking further down the corridor, past Frau leaving the said man with his own thoughts. "Wooo… what?" Frau exclaimed while turning around to following Castors back as he walked away from him. Frau sighed and began descending to Teito's room, to see how the boy was doing.

He stood there looking at the door, he still wasn't sure why he had stopped at this door. He wasn't sure what he could say to the boy after all that had happened today. He was about to knock out of courtesy, but then felt zaiphon seeping out beneath the door. He quickly kicked the door in and froze at the sight before him. Frau knew he had a fever, Castor had said so, but this was just crazy. Teito was surrounded with zaiphon while he slept. That was weird, yes, but what was even weirder, wasn't the fact that the zaiphon was his own blue, but there was also some red zaiphon. The two colors where twirling around each other, never mixing together and it seemed Teito wasn't even aware of anything.

Frau did a step back and looked in the hallway to see if someone was there. Seeing no-one there, he walked back inside and closed the door, before walking to Teito's bed. He didn't know what to do with the current situation between him and Teito, but he did know he needed to help him right now. Right now Frau was the only one who could give the help he might needed. "Oi brat, wake up… can you hear me? Kid?" Teito didn't seem to react to the words, so Frau tried to put a hand on his shoulder. Reaching for the shoulder, Frau felt a burning sensation in his hand, but choose to ignore it for the moment. Upon finally touching the shoulder Frau started to loose control over his physical body and felt himself turning into these was without his consent. He retracted his hand as quickly as possible and was in his own body again as soon as he was out of reach of the zaiphon. Frau began to observe the boy, if he couldn't reach him easily without turning into the ghost, what could he do?

When Teito began to shake from the immense zaiphon release, that seeped out of his body, and depleted his energy, Frau saw something he truly didn't expect. On Teito's right hand was a red sphere. Frau tormented his memories, he had seen it before, it was something he knew of. After a couple of minutes where Teito began to scream, it all clicked. 'The eye of Mikhail' it had to be it. Teito was a sklave from the Raggs Kingdom, he doesn't have any memories from eight years ago and further back. That's around the time the 'eye of Mikhail' disappeared. 'Ayanami wanted Teito, probably because of the eye,' he thought, 'and that's probably also the reason all those kor are manifesting around the church.' And now that he thought about it, it all started after Teito came to the church.

Frau made a fast decision. If he couldn't reach Teito in his human form, he would try in his ghost form. He took a step back and leaned toward the wall so his body wouldn't fall so hard that would leave him sore as he went back into his body after. After making sure his body was safe he walked to Teito and tried to reach his shoulders again. This time he did reach the shoulders knowing he needed to be in his ghost form and he started to call Teito again while trying to shake him awake. Teito's eyes fluttered open but it weren't his eyes. Teito's eyes were green and these were red. "You're not Teito, WHO are you?" Frau asked, but the voice coming from Teito had other plans than answering the question thrown at him right away. "Who are you to touch my master like 'THAT'! Let go of my master Zehel." Frau didn't know how to respond, he could only stare and let the shoulders drop from his bony hands while stepping back.

Slowly Teito's body began to get up from the bed, stopping the Zaiphon release while he did so. He looked at Frau. "Zehel, who do you think I am?" Frau kept staring, so the voice from Teito's mouth continued, "I am one of the two Angels that can be accessed through the stones that are in this empire. The 'Eye' as you call this stone is known as the Eye of Mikhail, as for I am Mikhail."

At this point Frau found his own voice back. "So what you're saying is, that you are Mikhail." Mikhail rolled his eyes. "What I don't get is why you are in Teito's body. Why doesn't Teito know about you? Because if he did, he would surely have dreamed about you. And also why …"

Mikhail didn't let him finish. "You know Zehel, it's awfully rude to interrupt someone, let alone an Angel." Mikhail took a few steps closer to Frau, who, in his turn, slowly backed away the same amount of steps. "But to answer your questions, Teito knew of my existence until eight years ago. Raggs and Barsburg were at war, and my previous master, the king, had to give me to his only son to protect him. Raggs was about to fall, and thus to protect the prince, I was inserted into his body. The Father that time with him, closed of his memories to protect him if he were to fall in enemy hands. These memories only came back after he entered this church, and when he attacked you, he got a flashback about me, but being my power so great, and unconsciously activating that power against you, Zehel, he fell unconscious." At this point Frau and Mikhail were face to face, with Frau backed up against the wall, not able to back away any further. Mikhail had a grin on his face at seeing Frau's face awfully white, even for a ghost. "Only this is the short story, I am sure Teito will remember everything, as his memories are coming back in time, just give him this time. Let him know you are there for him, he trusts you already, I do too. Only HE will never admit it so easily." Mikhail gave a sincere smile when his last words were spoken to Frau. "My master is to awake soon, I will retreat for now, but Zehel, take care of my master."

Frau could only blink before Teito's body began to drop to the ground, and he had to catch it. "I will Mikhail, I will" Frau promised as he carried Teito back to bed. When Teito was on the bed yet again, his eyes opened up. This time green eyes watched upon Frau, who only then remembered he was still in ghost form. He quickly went back in his human body that was still positioned against the wall. He walked over to Teito, now looking human again, and released a sigh, when he saw that Teito wasn't fully awake that he could have noticed Frau was a ghost just now.

Tears were falling from his eyes and Frau softly wiped them away, making Teito focus his sight on Frau. He wanted to scream at Frau for waking him up, but he knew it wasn't Frau's fault, not entirely anyway. He had this weird feeling that something important just had happened. He sat up with a start almost giving a headbutt to Frau, who was quick enough to jump away, escaping the pain that would have followed the action. He looked at his right hand remembering his dream, or was it something else. There had been a sphere in his hand not so long ago, or had it? He had talked to someone, Mikhail he thought his name was. Mikhail had said to trust Frau, as he was an important friend.

Teito looked at Frau who was staring at Teito at the moment. "I…" began Teito, but Frau cut him off. "Don't worry brat, just rest for now. I will get you some food, you missed dinner so you should be hungry by now I guess." As on cue there was a growl from Teito's stomach. Frau laughed at Teito, when the boy's face turned all red. "I will be back soon, get some rest, damn brat." With this Frau turned towards the door, choosing not to mention anything he had just witnessed.

"Uhm... Thanks Frau…" Teito whispered. Frau grinned but didn't let him know he had heard him. Teito lay back trying to listen to Frau's footsteps as he walked to the dining hall, but he soon fell back to sleep.

So this was it, for now,... It's kind of an open end so maybe I will write a next chapter to it,.. I've got a couple ideas how to follow this story.

So review please, I really need the feedback!
