So a little angel whispered in my ear about wanting a second chapter, and well I couldn't really deny this pleasure to that little angel ne,…

But seeing I didn't really had much of a great idea to write a second chappy, I asked the help of my best friend, and also my beta, to help me,... I had some ideas but not enough to write a whole chapter. After some apps and our little crazy minds twisting and turning we had finally come to a storyboard, which I was able to write a story with.

So here is the awesome second chapter written by kiba1988 and myself.

Thanks kiba1988 for beta reading this, suki dayo ne.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in the story; I do own this story though.

Changed: 5 jan 2014


After half an hour walking through multiple hallways Frau finally came to the dining hall, where he walked to the nearest nun he could spot. The nun was busy cleaning up after the diner. Frau asked her for some leftovers for the little lamb, it was a nickname the nuns had given him. They always saw him roaming trough the church like he was searching for something, so they decided to call him that, like a lost little lamb looking for his herd.

After talking with the nun, what seemed to be like hours, about the all worries the nun had about the boy, he got a plate full of healthy plants and a bowl of fisheye soup. Saying his thanks after making sure some worries had left the nun, he found a chance to make a leave towards the guest room where Teito stayed. He walked past Labrador on the way out, but could easily brush him off when he told him he was on his way to Teito.

Before he opened the door of the room he already could hear the snores coming from the boy inside. He couldn't help but smile as he pushed the door open to see, indeed, a sleeping boy. He stepped inside and walked over to the table that was in the corner of the room, to place the plate on.

Then he walked over to Teito and gently touched the shoulder of the boy to wake him from his sleep. Teito had to get some food in him, even if he didn't want to. He was a shrimp already so food would do him some good. "Oi brat, I brought you some food, you better eat it. The nuns can't shut up about how fragile you look." Frau had to hold down a chuckle, seeing that Teito's eyes flew open when Frau mentioned that little detail. "You perverted bishop, I am not fragile!" Teito grumbled under his breath as he stood up.

Frau pointed at the food and let Teito walk over there, before following him and seating himself in the opposite chair. Teito grumbled some more about freaking fish looking at him and something about needing to grow. Frau couldn't prevent letting a smile seep into his voice as he said: "Take it easy kid, just take your time. You don't have to hurry in growing up, you know. Just make sure you eat enough."

Looking at Teito, Frau saw a faint blush spreading on his cheeks, before he looked back at his plate with the food on it. The boy was obviously not used to people talking like that, to him. Frau could imagine being a sklave wasn't something where you would expect to be praised, or even talked nice to when they needed you to do their dirty work.

Teito stared at his food before he began to shove it down again. After he had finished, he pushed back his chair and walked towards the bathroom. "Thanks, uh… Frau," he said without looking at the said man, "I am going to take a shower." He hoped Frau didn't see the blush now clearly on his face. He didn't know why, but every time Frau did something for him he felt kind of embarrassed, which made his cheeks glow from the heat spreading in his body.

Frau saw Teito's ears turning red when he had said that, but decided not the bug the kid about it, as he saw him walking in the bathroom and closing the door. He heard a click from the lock and decided he wouldn't have to wait for the kid to be done showering. Teito would be able to manage his own. He had enough chores to do as it was. The chores wouldn't do themselves, and if they were left to long he was sure Castor would torment his evening, like he always seemed to be doing.

He was almost at the door when he heard a faint, weird sound coming from the direction of the bathroom. He turned, not sure if he heard it correctly and stared at the door, waiting if he would hear it a second time. Another sound, this time harder, like someone just fell down or something. His nerves spiked and he walked towards the door. He laid his ear to that door, but the only thing he heard was a faint breathing trough it. "Hey kid, you ok?" no reply from the other side. "Teito answer me!" he said as he felt panic grow inside of him.

"It's ok Zehel, master just had a flashback, nothing serious."

"Mikhail?!"

"Yeah, it's me. Oh, have to leave, master is coming to. It's nothing serious, just memories coming back."

Frau heard a soft groan as Teito pushed himself off the floor. "Jeez, what happened?" realization came to Teito as he remembered the flashback. "Ohh,…"

Even though Mikhail said it was nothing serious, Frau wasn't as sure as he was if Teito was ok. "Teito, you ok in there? Everything all right?" Frau knocked at the door as he spoke through it.

"Frau? Yeah I am fine, I just had…" Teito trailed off, not sure if he wanted to say he had flashbacks of his past at this point to Frau. "I will be finished soon."

Frau still not completely convinced that he was 'fine' decided to accept the boy's answer, but still wanted to make sure. Castor would scold him later that night, but he wanted to wait for when Teito was finished and would come out. He paced the room hoping his nerves would settle down a bit. "Why am I this anxious all the time when its about that damned brat. Why can't I stop worrying about him?" he whispered to himself.

When Teito finally came from the bathroom, Frau completely forgot what he was thinking about at the moment. The boy walked in so casually with a towel in his hair and his pants loosely on his hips. He walked towards his bed and sat with a 'humph' as he dried his hair. Only then did he see Frau standing in the middle of the room, frozen, looking at Teito. "Well, you see what you like, you perverted Bishop?" he said with a halfhearted smirk adorning his face.

Frau swallowed audibly and felt his pants tighten just the slightest of bits around his mid section. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' Frau thought as his previous thoughts slowly came back to him. 'He is just a kid Frau, this is wrong. I only saw the damn brat without a shirt, and this is how I react?! I freeze and stare at the kid. What will he think of me? Ok, he was looking rather cute coming out of there, but still…'

"Frau, what are you looking at? Frau I am talking to you!" Teito walked over and gave Frau a little push at his chest. He saw Frau take a step back, before he answered, "What were you talking about, brat…? Well, never mind, you should put a shirt on before you catch a cold." With that Frau quickly walked out of the room leaving a confused Teito behind.


Waiting a few minutes to gather his mind to make sense of the bishop, he sighed and walked to the closet and pulled out a shirt. Walking to the bathroom again, he put the shirt on with much difficulty and tried to fix his hair before the mirror. Deciding he actually didn't really care about his hair, he shrugged his shoulders and walked to the table. He picked the plate, still there on the table, up and was about to bring the plate to the kitchen, when Castor walked into the room.

"Teito, how are you doing?" Castor asked when Teito nearly bumped into him.

"C-Castor, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I think I asked you first, so I would like to get mine answered, before I answer yours," smirked Castor.

"I'm fine, thanks." Teito said hardly above a whisper.

"To answer your question, I was looking for Labrador, but I saw that your door was open, so I wanted to make sure you were all right. I was worried when you passed out near the fountain. You were coming down with a fever at that time, so Labrador was concerned about your well-being. But I see Frau already brought you some food." Teito stared up at Castor. He didn't remember passing out, but then again, he was back at his room again, so that could made some sense. "You can give me the plate if you like, I can bring it back for you." Castor finished reaching with his hand towards for the plate.

"Uhm, thanks, I guess." Teito said as he handed the plate over to Castor.

Castor took the plate and turned around, making his way to the kitchen. He figured he could look for Labrador while he was walking towards it. Now he could tell Labrador that Teito was doing fine and that he should lessen on the worries he had about the boy. But then again, Labrador would probably already know this without Castor's help. The abilities Labrador had because of him being one of the 7 ghost made him able to look into a person's future.

Thinking about the flashback he just had, Teito began to walk towards the library. He wanted to look some stuff up that he remembered from it.

There was snow falling all around him. He was wearing something that looked to be from a church. There were children playing some distance further making a snowman and some older children tried to make an igloo. Even though he knew all these children were here, he still felt alone. He looked around for the one person he felt save and secure around.

He didn't see his own father much, but luck was with him when the Father, his uncle, was always there for him. So he was happy seeing him under the tree near the fountain. He took off running to the man and threw himself into his arms. The Father laughed at the little boy in his arms before placing a soft kiss on his forehead.

"You should play with the other kids around here, Teito. I can't always be here for you, so go and make some friends over there. I will be watching you, but you have to do this yourself." The Father gave Teito a little push in the direction of the Children who had started a little snowball fight.

"But Father, they wont talk to me, they think I am scary," Teito pouted, "and I don't know why."

"You just have to give it your all, Teito, that's what is important. If you try your best in all you do, you won't ever have any regrets in your life." Father smiled as Teito slowly began to walk towards the children, looking back every few steps.

When Teito almost reached the children, he was called back by the Father. He looked back confused to see the Father come up and running down towards Teito. "TEITO, DUCK." Teito let himself fall to the ground, experience telling him to trust Father when he said something like that.

A kor flew above his head, almost knocking him down if Father hadn't said to duck. Father was at his side before he had time to look around, bascule in his hand. The other children had run away to the walls of the church. "Teito, can you close you eyes for me?"

"O-Ok" Teito put his hands to his eyes and looked at the ground. "Does the kor want to eat me again, Father?"

"Uh, yeah Teito, but I will make it go away." Father said. He didn't want to tell Teito the real reason why, but he had to know they were here to get him, so he would always be on his guard, even when he couldn't be around the boy.

"Can I help find a book that you need?" The voice next to him shocked him and got him out of his thinking. That's when he noticed he was already in the library, walking through all the rows and rows of books. He looked at the nun who asked him if she could help before shaking his head, "No, I'm fine, thanks. I think I will be able to find what I need." Teito wanted to look for some books including 'kors' and something that could tell him about the war. Teito had noticed that the memories he had, were all from after the war and the memories he forgot, seemed to be before the war. Maybe something in the history books could tell him about whom he really was or were he was from.

After hours of running up and down a ladder, and crossing the whole library, he had found three books he needed and one book he needed to ask Frau about. One included the 07-ghosts and kors. Two were about the war between the Raggs kingdom and Barsburg Empire. The last one was not so much about the information he was looking for, but more what he had found inside its covers, what should not be there. He had the feeling Frau was the reason for it. Teito opened the first book and looked in the register for the correct page number about kors. He only found a little part about kors.

A 'Kor' is a messenger and follower of the God of Death, Verloren. After Verloren's fall and imprisonment, the Kor continued to wage war against the Chief of Heaven like their master did, and seek humans in order to make a contract with them. Tempting them with the prospect of granting them three wishes, but at the price of the host's soul.

Once a person has had their three wishes granted by a Kor, he or she becomes what is known as a Wars, at that point the Kor has killed the host and now inhabits the body. A person who is in the late stages of a contract with a Kor, can NOT be saved.

He was happy finding this, but it didn't tell him why they seemed to target him, especially when it seemed they let most people alone. He looked back in the register to see if he could find some more. He scanned the words until he kept hovering at one single word. He couldn't keep his eyes from that word. 'Zehel', it looked so familiar, where did he ever read or heard it before? He decided to look it up.

Zehel is one of the 07-ghosts. Zehel is the cutting spirit and is the one that severs bonds, and is able to cut the bonds that tie a persons heart to misfortune.

Zehel's true appearance is in the form of a hooded skeleton wielding a large scythe. His appearance is the same as Verloren since the ghosts are made out of fragments from Verloren.

The 07-ghosts all possess the ability to erase, or otherwise, alter a person's memories. Like the other Ghosts, Zehel is said to be able to, in his true form, temporarily leave his human host body. This body would be able to heal faster, after inflicted damage, due to the ghosts' powers.

Since the host body is said to be dead; their hearts do not beat and their bodies do not give off heat.

Teito put the book away after reading the information with a frown on his face. Somewhere he felt that the ghosts had something to do with him not remembering his past, but he didn't know how or why he thought that. He wasn't even sure if the ghosts were real or not. He pondered about it for a couple of minutes, when he decided to brush it off as something not really important at the moment. He pulled one of the other books to himself.

In the military he didn't learn much about Raggs, the kingdom from before the war, other than that there was indeed a war about ten years ago. The rest of the story they didn't find important enough, it was the past and completely done with. But what he found here interested him dearly.

The so-called Raggs war was the first war between Barsburg and Raggs, which resulted in the total destruction of the Raggs Kingdom. The war was inserted after the theft of Pandora's box by bishop Fea Kreuz. The traitor stole the box and took it to the Raggs kingdom.

The consequences of the war were devastating, ending the Raggs Kingdom and causing the extinction of Raggs' royal lineage. Raggs' capital was taken as the new capital of the Barsburg Empire, and its people were forced to live the rest of their lives as sklaves. At one point after the war, Barsburg passed a law, which made the former Raggs Kingdom's castle a 'forbidden zone'.

The war damaged both sides, but it is obvious casualties were far heavier on the Raggs' side.

Teito had a strange feeling after he finished reading. Something told him the story wasn't right, somehow it didn't fit, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He was lost in thoughts when Castor and Labrador came strolling into the library. They were looking for Teito. It was time to retreat for bed for everyone, but when Labrador wanted to check in person how Teito was doing, he noticed the boy wasn't in his room anymore. They found the boy with a book open before him, and looking off into empty space.

"Teito-kun, it's time we all go to bed, shall I help putting those books away?" Labrador offered Teito.

Teito jumped and looked towards the two bishops that somehow seemed to have sneaked upon him, without him knowing it. How could he have let that happen? His heart was racing. He tried to calm himself down. "Labrador-san, Castor-san how long have you been there? I didn't notice you." Both bishops smiled reassuring at Teito.

"Just for a few seconds. Labrador mentioned you weren't in your room so we came looking for you."

"Oh, thanks. Now that I think about it, can you help me with something? I was just reading about the war that happened ten years ago, but I have a feeling something isn't quite right. It said that Fea Kreuz stole Pandora's box, and that the entire royal family was killed in that war. But somehow I…" Teito got a glassy look in his eyes as he trailed off. He began to shake as another flashback hit him. He grabbed the edge of the table hard, to prevent himself from falling, his knuckles turning white at his grip.

Labrador and Castor looked at each other, before looking back at Teito. Red Zaiphon began to seep out of him, and on his right hand a red glow was seen. Frau had told them about the 'Eye of Mikhail' being in Teito. Teito let out a pained cry and reached for his head with one hand as the flashback was more severe than he ever had before. Castor tried to grab Teito by his shoulders, but had to back away when an attack came his way. Teito shoved his chair backwards and dropped to his knees closing his eyes as he gasped for air, as zaiphon continued to seep out of him.

Castor and Labrador could only watch as Teito lost his conscious. This time Labrador tried to get to Teito but was stopped by Teito's hand coming up. Red clear eyes watched at Labrador. "Are you Mikhail-sama?" Labrador asked. "That is right Profe, I am Mikhail," was answered before the zaiphon was stopped from seeping out of Teito's body.

"Can you tell us what is happening to Teito-kun, what Teito-kun is experiencing, and what we can do to help, Mikhail-sama?" Castor asked, after he was over the first shock that Mikhail seemed to know their real names. He had heard it from Frau, but didn't really believe him, until now that is, when he could see 'Mikhail's eye' with his own eyes and hearing him actually addressing Labrador at his ghost name; Profe.

"Uhm, sure, but master doesn't want to tell you. He doesn't trust you completely and thus wishes for me to hold my mouth for the time being. What I can tell you is that this is one of the many flashbacks that he will have and already has experienced. As this one flashback is very important to my master, it takes a lot out of him than the ones he already had, Fest." Castor, long over the fact that Mikhail knew their names by now, could only nod at that.

"Master wishes for Zehel, or Frau, as master calls him, to come. Master seems to trust Zehel, and he helped him with a great deal last time when I had to come out." Mikhail looked at the two bishops that were looking at each other again. "Well, can one of you call for Zehel?"

"One of my dolls already located Frau in the greenhouse and is dragging his lazy butt over here right now," Castor explained, seeing the irritated look in Mikhail's eyes.

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that," Mikhail said slightly surprised at the fast action Castor had shown, as a shouting from outside the library became clearer.

"Freaking doll, release me this once. FOUREYES if I get you in my hands, I will seriously kill you and make sure those glasses of yours are permanent." Frau kicked and screamed as he was dragged inside the library where they awaited him. He calmed somewhat when he felt the familiar presence. He had felt this earlier today. He turned his head towards the presence and saw Teito, or not Teito. This really was confusing to him. "MIKHAIL" Frau jumped up, this time succeeding in dragging the doll with him towards Teito's body. "What's wrong Mikhail, why are you out?"

"Frau show some respect!" Castor snapped as he elbowed Frau.

"No, it's fine Fest, Zehel is known for how he talks, even though it's sometimes wise to think before you start interrogating people. However, Zehel is not known for his smart actions, so I will accept it. Master somehow finds that it relaxes him, somehow, when Zehel blurs stuff out, without thinking." Mikhail explained with a devilish grin on his face.

The three Bishops stared at Mikhail. They hadn't expected Mikhail to be so … relaxed, for the lack of a better word.

"Zehel, my master is experiencing another flashback, only this one is kind of stressful on his mind. This one reveals a lot of his past, I can feel he wants to tell you, but be gentle with him. It's a lot to deal with at once, I had hoped this would be split in multiple flashbacks, but that unfortunately that didn't happen."

"Can't you, being an Angel and all, decide what he will see in his flashbacks?" Frau did a step towards Mikhail. He didn't like these moments. He wasn't sure how Teito would come out of it. He wished he could be with him when these flashbacks tormented him, but the only thing he could do, was being there when it was already over.

"Yes, normally I can do that, and I have been doing that. Since his first flashback, back when he was still in the military academy, I have been giving him little pieces of his memory back. But this flashback was not triggered by me, but by those books he read," He said pointing at the books. "He had questions from the previous one, and started to read into it. I had not foreseen my master in this action of his." Mikhail let out a sigh, something the Bishops did aspect of a Angel. "I ask of you Zehel to bring my master to his bed so he can rest. The flashback will take a while before it is done and master needs his sleep after. Oh and Bishops, he may come to know who you really are. He read about the 07-ghosts," Mikhail pointed at the books again, "and my master isn't that stupid when it comes to linking the facts in front of him." Teito's eyes closed again and he began to fall to the ground.

Frau caught him. "You could at least make sure your 'master' sits before you decide to leave him in my care again, I swear one of these days, I will be to late catching him," Frau grumbled, carrying Teito in his arms.

"I could do that, but this is far more fun, don't you think? And besides, I have faith in you Zehel. Haven't I said that already?".

Castor and Labrador both sweat dropped at the way Frau and Mikhail seemed to interact with each other. They hadn't expected the Angel to be so playful when talking to Frau, and the way Frau was allowed to speak back at him. But maybe it was one of the charms of being Frau, he seemed to get away with a lot of things a normal idiot would be put into prison for.

Carrying Teito to his room wasn't that much of a deal for Frau, but having Castor and Labrador following him, really irritating him to the point he snapped at both of them. "Will you quit following me?! It's not like I can't take care of the kid."

"Frau you can hardly take care of yourself, how will you be able to take care of Teito-kun? That Mikhail seems to trust you enough to leave him in your care, doesn't mean we have to too," Castor scolded.


Frau quickened his pace as he saw Teito's room coming into view. He quickly stepped inside, closing the door and locking it, before the others had a chance to come in. He grinned as he heard Castor and Labrador whining at the closed door, while he walked over to the bed. "Frau just open up will you, we just want to help Teito-kun." Labrador said. "And we still don't trust you." Castor finished.

"Just go away, I will handle this, before I will go out scouting the area, ok!" He heard the two bishops grumble something before their sounds left the door, descending down the hall to their own rooms.

Frau wasn't ready to let go of Teito just yet, so he positioned himself with his back against the headboard, letting Teito rest between his legs. Teito's back rested against his chest, and his head rested on Frau's shoulder. "Kid what happened to you, that you have to suffer through all this?" Frau asked, more at himself, than at Teito. But it made Teito move against him before slowly opening his eyes.

Placing his hand on his forehead he asked, while looking at Frau seated behind him, "Frau? It happened again didn't it?" He didn't need a confirmation, so he continued; "These things that happen when I have flashbacks, I don't know why, but since I came here I have them more often. First I only had dreams like these. And before I escaped the military, I had this one flashback. That was the one that made me want to escape from there. Ayanami, he is evil, I didn't know why then, but now I know. Frau I don …" He couldn't finish what he wanted to say. Tears were rolling down his cheeks, as he remembered the latest flashback. He needed to tell Frau, but he couldn't. How could he, were should he start…

Frau, seeing the tears falling from Teito's eyes, felt a pain in his heart at the thought of what was tormenting his brat so much. There he said it 'his' brat. Something had changed today. He wasn't sure if it was for the better or not, but he wasn't thinking of changing it back.

Frau planted a soft kiss on Teito's hair, followed by one on his forehead, his nose and finally, he softly brushed his lips over Teito's lips. Teito was shocked at first but soon relaxed, as a healthy red spread on his cheeks. Closing his eyes, he gave in to the feeling of the gentle touch on his lips. Frau, suddenly realizing what he was doing, broke the kiss off. Feeling shame rush through his body, he stuttered: "Teito, I, Sorry I-I …"

Teito, who looked up at Frau, just closed his eyes again and rested his head against Frau's shoulder feeling really tired, but wanted to make sure that Frau knew he didn't mind it. "Frau, it's ok, I think. I think I can trust you."

Hearing those words, Frau blushed himself. "Kid,…" He tightened the embrace he was holding Teito in. "I will be here for you, I promise." He felt Teito sigh before his breathing evened out, telling him Teito had fallen asleep resting against his shoulder. Frau chuckled seeing the boy so relaxed in his arms thinking the kid really must have been exhausted from the flashback. The scouting of the area could wait a day, right now Teito needed him more.


Yeah, chapter two done. Jeez,... Took me a whole day,... My focus needed so much more focus. But there were just so many things I wanted to do while writing this,..

Kiba1988 and I really liked writing this and will surely be writing a third chapter, we both have some ideas and are really exited to start working them out.

But seeing the storyline (hahah wasnt even sure we had one to begin with) has somewhat shifted I need to change some of the stuff like the rating I am not so sure about anymore. And maybe it will be wise if I change friendship in romance. I will make sure this is done before the third chapter arrives.
