Hisashiburi mina,.. (Its been a long time u'all) I am soo sorry for letting you guys wait so long for the next chapter, but i really didnt know what to write,.. and my best friend kiba1988 didnt know anything either,.. everytime we wanted to write something we were like two fledgeling owls, just blankly staring at the screen,.. that bad it was,...

Then a miracle happened,.. a little before newyear (BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY) i suddenly got a reader who favorited this story,.. and i was like,.. WTF just happened,...

A day later another reader didnt only fav the story but also followed it and liked me as an author as well. I pm-ed her and send her my thanks,.. and u know what,.. she pm-ed back,.. she told me how much she loved it,.. i mean how awesome is that to hear from one of your readers. I told here i was working on it, but that i also had something i wanted to ask of her,.. and know what she said,... she was happy to help me,.. so I let her read what i had changed (yeah yeah, will explain that later, still trying to finds a way to thank this awesome girl) anywayyyyy she actually liked what i changed and encouraged me to do what I am about to do. But thats not all people,.. she even gave me this idea (its partly her fault, that this chapter is now broken up in two chapters heheh, but dont blame her) and i added it to this story,...

so if u got through that whole ramble,.. the basic point of it all was that i really really like to thank MIDNIGHTREAPERS for helping me as much as she did,... THANK U GIRL!

the other thing i need to explain to u guys is the changes i made,... before i worked on this chapter below i read all what i had written up to this. i found that i needed to change certain things in th story, or just twist the sentences a bit up to make it fit just that little bit better. If ur interested to know i welcome u all to read the whole story again, i myself like it way more now,... if u think its to much a bother, dont worry,.. nothing major has changed so just continuing where u left off is not a problem as well,..

As i said before this chapter is broken up in two chapters, so expect the next one,.. uhm soon,.. maybe hehehe

Sorry for the ramble,... ENJOY

Frau was walking though the church to look for a certain little lost lamb. He hadn't seen the boy all day and he was starting to get worried about him.

It was the last day of the period Labrador had said that Teito wasn't allowed to train and should rest up while he could. Ever since he was able to leave his bed again, without coughing or wobbly legs, he had taken to the habit to stroll through the church's hallways. Getting lost every night so Frau was left to search for him.

He finally found him sitting on the edge of one of the church's balconies, leaning with his back against the wall. He was looking at the stars as he hummed a melody. Frau leaned against the edge of the doorway opposite of where Teito was and listened. He vaguely recognized the song and whispering the words along the humming. As soon as he started the humming, he remembered all the words.

Teito looked at Frau when he had finished the song. He had heard Frau silently singing along with him just now, but found he didn't mind it. Instead he had really liked Frau's voice while he sang. "I guess you're here to bring me back to my room again?" he half asked, half said sheepishly.

Frau only nodded and turned away, knowing that the kid would follow either way. He listened as quick footsteps ran to catch up to him. Frau looked back over his shoulder and was happy to see that Teito could move so freely again. He had felt horrible to see the kid stuck in bed while he was sick. It reminded him to much of the time that Mikhail had talked to the boy. He hoped he would never have to experience it again.

Feeling a strong power suddenly radiate behind him made Frau snapped away from his thoughts to focus back on the boy behind him. Mikhail was curiously looking up at him with a grin on his face. "Mik-k-hail?!" Frau stuttered while he stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face him completely.

Mikhail grinned only harder when he saw the reaction Frau showed. "Close that mouth before some stray kor fly in," he said as he tapped Frau's chin playfully.

"Is there something wrong with Teito?" Frau asked carefully, making sure he closed his mouth after.

Grinning at the action he shrugged his shoulders. Mikhail's expression got all serious as he told Frau of what he was fearing. "It's a bid difficult. Teito himself is not in danger, for now. There is something coming to the church and I can't fully say what it is, but if I am right it may not turn out any good for my master or for you. If my guess is right, and I say guess, than the effects following can be disastrous. My master could even die if we let our guard down."

While Mikhail had been speaking Frau's mouth had not so charmingly dropped open again. He closed it fast and licked his lips before he asked the Angel what bothered him. "Can you at least tell me what you think it is that is coming? I mean something could be anything, if you could just tell me what you think it will be. I don't know maybe a species would be helpful. What is it, ghost, Angel, kor, warsfeil, human?"

Mikhail sighed as he saw stress spreading throughout Frau's whole body. "Calm yourself down a little Zehel, you wont be able to help my master if you are all stressed out. As I said before I can't fully say what it is. Most part seem to be human, but it has some kor in it to. It is not like when a human asks for a wish from a kor, it seems different somehow. Also there seems to be something divine about it. It is to mixed up to know for sure what it is, but if the human part is who I think it is than master would get severely hurt. And with hurt I don't mean physically, though its still possible, I fear for his mental health."

"Mikhail what are you talking about? And why have you taken over my body again?" Teito tried but knew he was ignored by Mikhail.

Mikhail didn't answer the question that Teito had asked him, but instead observed Frau for any reaction from the man at what he had just said. He could clearly see the thoughts running through the males mind as he figured what Mikhail could be speaking of. 'I see Zehel is not as dense as I first thought he was.' Mikhail thought as he made a step towards Frau. He placed his hand over the place where Frau's beating heart should have been and looked up in Frau's eyes. "I am going to show you an image now of what I think is coming. This is from my masters memory, so what you will encounter might look slightly different. I might have changed in appearance a bit, but the main characteristics must still be present."

Frau looked down in the red eyes that reflected Mikhail and felt wrong in doing so. 'Something from Teito's memories that is gonna come to the church and will hurt the kid. Shit, I am afraid that I already know the answer. I only heard one thing from the boy since he has been here that has nothing to do with the church itself, but still gets him to cry in his sleep.' Frau gave a nod at the look Mikhail gave him and felt something flow into his mind. It was blurry first but soon the contours started to clear after some color was added. One single word, or rather name was echoed through his mind as he looked at the person that stood there in his mind.

Frau nodded again to Mikhail, telling him that he had seen it and that he would look for it whenever he could. He felt the hand retract from his chest and was a bit sad to know that Teito wouldn't get so close to him anymore. It would be much easier if he could just keep the boy close to him if the boy was willing to be close. But he had lost that change the moment he had run from that room. He needed to find a way to win Teito's trust back.

"I know what you are thinking Zehel, and don't worry, it will be fine again. Just give it some time. For that thing I just showed you, don't tell master yet, just be on your guard. It will be here in a day or two, maybe sooner I am afraid."

Mikhail left Teito's body, making the boys eyes glass over a little before green snapped back into focus. The boy instantly got an annoyed scowl on his face as he walked up to Frau. "What did Mikhail show you. What are you not support to tell me. Tell me now Frau!"

Frau blinked at Teito and then grinned. "Ha, as if I am gonna tell you. Your Angel just told me not to tell you, do you really think I will not listen to him. He scared the hell out of me once, I am not about to experience that again." A shiver ran down his spine. "Oh, don't you give me that look. I rather have you pissed at me, than have my chances with Mikhail." Frau only just hold himself back from sticking out his tongue to the boy.

Teito was really pissed at both Frau and Mikhail, but he also kind of understood what Frau was telling. He knew how Mikhail had scared both him and Frau that time, and he too didn't want that to happen again. Teito sighed and walked past Frau. He had given up on asking and thought it wasn't really fair to push Frau any further.

Frau smirked at Teito when he saw he had won. He turned following the boy with his eyes as he passed him. He smirked even harder when he saw Teito taking the wrong way. "Oi gaki, thats the wrong way, you should have turned left instead of right." Frau ran after him when he heard Teito starting to run.

"I know where I am going!" Teito yelled as he ran.

"No you do not. Why else do you think you get lost every night?!" Frau said playfully.

"Shut up,…" Teito grumbled, but couldn't prevent a small grin forming on his face.

Frau looked through the window down at the two boys sleeping in the room. He was worried for when the person would come and what the effect on Teito could be. He watched as Teito began to whimper in his sleep. At first he couldn't make out what the boy was saying, but after a minute or two it became pretty clear. Teito was dreaming about the night he had escaped again. Teito was whispering soft about how sorry he was for not protecting his first friend. Frau had to look away to prevent himself from going to the boy to tell him it was not his fault.

Castor walked up to Frau. "You came to watch him again?! You do know there are kor around the church that are not in front of this window, do you? If it pleases you I will keep watch over him for a while, while you go hunt down the kor." Castor said as he watched the worried expression on Frau's face. "There is more that bothers you than normally, isn't there?" He asked seeing the fearful glint in Frau's eyes.

"Yeah, there is something Mikhail told me an hour ago." Frau said keeping his eyes on Teito. "When I came to find the kid again, Mikhail took control over the boy's body and told me something was coming to the church. He couldn't tell me what it was really, because it was kind of a mix, if that makes sense. But he did think it was someone very important to his master. He showed me an image out of Teito's own mind. If he is right…" Frau looked at Castor now. "I am worried what it will do to the kid, I am afraid he will turn away from us again. Or that he maybe even turns away from the church itself. Castor, I don't know what I can do to stop whatever more is going to hurt him. I don't know how I will be able to help him."

Castor looked at his best friend and felt sorry for him. Sure he himself was worried about Teito too, but Frau really did care for the boy like he cared for Labrador. Even though they weren't lovers or anything yet, the bond between these two was one to be jealous about, even if they both denied it.

"All right, fine. Stay here." Castor sighed. He hated when his plans had to changed, but he didn't want to see Frau suffer by making him leave to boy now. "I will make sure the other kor will be taken care of as long as you take the ones out that manifest themselves around here. Do you understand me?!" Castor said with an unmeant glare in his eyes.

Frau was lost for words at the caring he received from Castor, so he could only nod.

Castor turned away from Frau to go do what he said he would, only to be stopped by some choked words from his friend.

"Thanks, four-eyes."

Frau turned his sight back at the boy and saw that some tears had started to fall in his sleep. It pained him to see Teito go through all this hardship, but there was nothing he could do when the boy was asleep. The only thing he could do was be there for the boy when he needed the man. Looking back at the boy one more time he turned away from the window to get the three kor that had sneaked up on him while he had been watching the boy.

Inside the church a now annoyed bishop was scowling at his own words. Sure he had said he would go hunt down the remaining kor while Frau stayed close to the boy. Only this meant he had to cancel his plans with Labrador. He had promised the young bishop that he would make this night free so they could spend it together. It didn't happen often that the two could have a night alone together.

But here was this boy who made all three of them work for him, without him even knowing that he did. He didn't even want them to do all the thing they did for him, but they had to. Because they were the 07 ghost and because he contained pandora's box they had to keep a close eye on him. Even if that meant they were to cancel their own fun night for it.

Castor stood in front of Labrador's door. He knew he had to knock and tell the younger one that something had come up keeping him from away from each other again. He lifted his hand to knock, but found only air when he did. He looked from his raised fist to the man in from of him.

"You have to cancel the night don't you?"

"What, I didn't say anything yet." Castor said while he looked surprised, but then thought about the gifts the younger one had as a ghost and noticed the plants around his neck. "The flowers told you, didn't they."

Labrador nodded and stepped aside to let the other in. "You went to see what took Frau from the kor at the entrance and found him at Teito-kun's window like every night. You told Frau he could stay there and you would go after the others. You decided this based on what Frau told you, and I know its something bad otherwise you would not have knocked on my door. You would have just walked into it like always." Labrador said with a grim grin on his face. He closed the door and walked after Castor who had gone to sit on his bed.

Castor was amazed at the knowledge his lover could get from a couple of plants. It was told that every generation of Profe had this ability, but every generation had his own methods of getting it.

"So tell me, what did Frau say that made you decide what you did." Labrador said with a hard look in his eyes as he sat down.

Castor felt a shiver run down his back as he listened to the younger one. Labrador always seemed so sweet and innocent while he worked on his chores and interacted with the other people in the church, but when they where alone, he could be sharp. "He said that Mikhail thinks something is coming to the church and that it can be dangerous for Teito. The big oaf is to concerned to leave the boy alone for a long time. He is afraid that whenever he turns his back to Teito the something will grab the boy and hurt him."

Labradors eyes softened as he heard his lover speak. The troubles involving Teito mattered to them all, but he knew how much Teito meant for the oldest of them.

"I couldn't make him leave Teito's side. I thought you would understand." Castor finished. He looked back in Labrador's eyes when he felt a hand softly brush past his cheek. The thumb of the males hand brushed against his cheekbone a couple of times before the hand went to stroke his hair. Castor leaned into the hand and closed his eyes, savoring the feeling of it.

Labrador watched his lover close his eyes and leaned forward, softly tickling Castors lips with his own. "I would have done the same." He said before adding some more pressure into the touch. He leaned forward making Castor fall softly on the bed. Laughing he pushed himself on his elbows when he heard Castor gasp for air when he hit the bed.

Castor looked up into the gleaming eyes of Labrador and gave a playful kiss to the man on top of him. "I have to go."

"Mhm, I know. But I am not letting you go. Not alone that is. We would have this night together, so I am going with you. We can leave our bodies here when we go hunt. The least we can do is wake up together tomorrow."

"I like your thinking." Castor grabbed the younger ones waist and rolled them so they were bot laying on the bed facing each other. "You ready?" He asked.

"I am always ready if I am together with you." Labrador said and gave a last kiss before they both called on their ghost form to hunt some persisting kor that night.

It was the first day after he had gotten sick that Teito was allowed to go back to training. He had scowled at first at not being allowed to train when he honestly felt fine to do just so, but he had listened anyway when Mikhail had threatened him. Even though he had started to roam the church out of boredom he had found that it was fun to do so. He had seen a lot of things while he was walking around. He had seen a mess from a hidden window in the hall, he had seen the nuns work on the inner square washing the clothes. He had seen the orphans play when the nuns were done working, he had seen Labrador and Castor teach the kids the medical use of plants and the power of knowledge.

What he had loved the most though was something he wasn't willing to admit to himself. It were the moments at night when Frau would come and find him to bring him back to his room.

Teito opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. 'Ugh, I should not be thinking about Frau.' He thought as he pushed himself up to look if Hakuren was still asleep. He saw the other boy was still far away in dreamland. Teito grabbed his pillow and flung it to the other boy who shot up the moment the pillow hit him straight on the face.

"Whaa, whoo, what was that."

Teito couldn't stop laughing at the reaction from the other boy, it was just too funny. His hair was a mess, he still had some sleeping drool in the corner of his mouth, his eyes were wide open in shock and his shirt twisted around his body. "Morning, sleeping beauty." He said playful before dashing of into the bathroom to clean himself up before breakfast.

Hakuren tried to run to the bathroom door but found out the blankets wouldn't want to let him go just yet, resulting in him falling face first to the ground. The sound he made by falling only made Teito laugh harder while he washed himself. "Gaki, if I get my hands on you today, you will not be laughing like that for a while. Trust me." Hakuren was already thinking of ways to punish his friend while he said that.

When they both had cleaned up and where on their way to the kitchen, Hakuren had already tried to trip Teito, slam the door in his face and scare him while he hid behind a pillar. All the attempts had failed dramatically though as he tripped over his own feet, forgot to release the door and slammed his own fingers between the door and the frame and was scared himself when Teito had managed to sneak up on him.

Teito was still laughing when they entered the dining hall. "You are so clumsy this morning, how come?" He asked with a big grin on his face.

"It's because a certain shrimp woke me up with the idea that it would be fun to throw a pillow at a sleeping man." Hakuren scowled.

"A man you say. Tell me when you see one. I will see if it will make the man as clumsy as you are when I throw a pillow at him."

"Who is having a pillow fight? Do tell me, I want in." Frau said when he came up behind the boys.

Teito sweatdropped. "Uh, no-one. I was just telling Hakuren how fun it would be to let… the orphans have some fun with pillow fighting. You can't play though, you… are to big." He said and elbowed Hakuren to play with.

"Auch, that hurts." He glared at Teito. "Teito woke me up this morning by throwing a pillow in my face."

Frau laughed at the two boys, they sure did get along well. "Hmm and here I thought I learned you to always be on your guard even while you are sleeping." He said with a grin to Hakuren.

Hakuren scowled and looked away. "And here I thought that Bishop Frau would understand my point." he murmured.

Placing each of his hands on one of the boys' heads he ruffled their hair, receiving a, "Hey, stop that," from both of them before they all laughed. "Go grab some food and eat quickly, Castor has one of his dolls ready for you two to fight when you get to the fountain." Both boys nodded and left the bishop. "I'll see you two later. First I have to do a quick scout around the church." he whispered and left too.

Hakuren and Teito were sitting on the edge of the fountain when they spotted two bishops walking towards them. They were talking to each other as they made their way to them, while one was carrying a doll with him.

Labrador came up to Teito and asked how he was feeling. "I feel fine like the last time you asked Labrador-san. It was just a cold, it is not something rare that no-one ever has had." Teito said grinning, "But thanks for the stuff you gave me, it really helped. What was in it anyway? I cant remember if you told me or not."

Labrador and Castor looked at each other and silently decided not to tell Teito just yet. "Ah just something to make you feel better, nothing to worry about." Labrador said.

Hakuren looked from Teito to the two bishops and knew there was something they weren't telling him, but decided to keep his mouth shut. If the bishops weren't telling them than they must have their reasons for it.

"Ok, so lets begin with the training shall we. Today I made you two something special. You see this doll besides me, is there something that surprises you?" Castor asked with a smirk on his face.

"Uhm, isn't that…" Hakuren started.

"You made it look like Frau…" Teito said surprised.

Labrador chuckled at the boys. "He sure did."

"Today you two will be making sure this 'Frau' is not going to beat you in a match."

"Ok, we fought bishop Frau before, it can't be harder than the real one, can it?" Hakuren asked.

"It is not a fighting match I am talking about Hakuren-kun. I am talking about a racing match. You two will be running on a track I will put down on the ground while he will try to defeat you. I know this doesn't sound very hard, but the track you'll be running on will try to throw you off of it. So while you try to keep ahead of this Frau-doll you also have to maintain a steady zaiphon defense barrier around yourself. Are there any questions?" Castor asked.

"So basically its stay ahead of the fake perverted bishop while staying on the track without getting thrown off." Teito summarized

"Exactly" Labrador nodded. "Get ready… START." With a playful smile he watched as the two boys ran three steps before getting thrown off the track.

Teito and Hakuren glared at the doll, which seemed to make fun of the two as he ran backwards sticking out his tongue at them. They put up their defense again and started to run over the track again, getting a whole ten steps before it all repeated itself.

"You know Castor, this does seem a bit harsh to let them do this. I mean you and I both know they are not ready to do this right now. The both haven't trained in a while and they have not yet practiced with defense barriers other than when they were fighting Frau."

"I know my love, but we have to have a talk with Frau. I still owe him an explanation why Teito-kun got sick in the first place…"

"That was not your fault. Razette took him into the water and wouldn't give him back. Even though I think she did the right thing, she should have taken better care of Teito-kun while she waited for her tail to dry." Labrador said as he heard what Castor was saying.

"I know, but Razette is my responsibility, making it my fault too that Teito-kun got sick. And besides that I think you owe it to Frau to tell him what was in that bottle you gave Teito-kun." Castor kissed Labradors forehead when he was finished talking.

"STUPID PERVERTED DOLL COME BACK HERE… WE'RE RACING NOT CHASING NUNS…"

Both bishops smirked when they knew what had happened without having to look at the two boys. "Maybe I made the doll a bit too much like Frau?!" Castor smirked. They knew it would take some time to master the running while containing a steady zaiphon flow for the barrier, having their practice doll run off, only made it harder. They had to catch the doll and drag him back to the track every time he saw a nun.

'Poor nuns.' Labrador thought.

"We should go look for Frau now, now that the boys are occupied with their training and safe in the church walls." Labrador nodded at this and they both walked of in search of Frau.

Frau was walking on the outer walls of the church, scanning the area around it. He was keeping an eye out for anything that might look like something that could hurt the boy and in particular he was looking for a boy named Mikage.

He had been up here for an hour now and hadn't seen anything of what he was looking for so far. At some part he was happy he hadn't spotted anything yet, on the other he would have liked it if he had some clearance to what was to come.

"Frau"

Frau heard his name being called and knew who it was without having to look. "What do you want four-eyes, I am busy."

"I know that you are, and I am happy to see that for once you actually are doing something useful." Castor smirked as he saw Frau's back stiffen just the slightest of bits. "But as much fun as it is to make fun of you, I came here to explain some things together with Labrador."

Turning around Frau saw indeed that Labrador was there as well. He hadn't heard the younger bishop or hadn't even felt his presence. Pulling an eyebrow up he waited for the two of them to explain.

"I promised to tell you what was in the bottle I gave to Teito-kun the night he fell ill. It was a mix of special plants and herbs that would help him recover from his cold. But it had also another purpose. The mix would ease his mental turmoil allowing him to be able to rest. Only that is not all. We know that Teito-kun hold Pandora's box inside of him. The mix I gave him was some sort of a test too. If he had drunk it and found it to bitter to swallow it would mean that the box would be endangering Teito-kun's life. Seeing that Teito-kun could easily drink it, I dare to say that Mikhail-sama was able to keep protecting the boy while he was hiding inside the boy's body."

"So the boy is not infected by Pandora's box. Mikhail was able to keep protecting him without being noticed. Well, that is good to hear. Thanks, Lab." Frau said sincerely to the younger one. "So what do you want to explain?" He asked the older one.

"Well, you know when Teito-kun got that cold. It might have been my fault." Both men now looked at him. One was looking with an accusatory glare while the other looked at him like he was crazy. "That night before Teito-kun was found sick in his bed I had asked him to come with me, because I had something to ask the boy. You should remember Frau, you stayed to train with Hakuren."

"And later was forced to go with the Jio-sama, thanks to Lab." Frau glared hurtfully at Labrador but couldn't hide a grin so he quickly looked back at Castor.

"I asked him about what he knew about the 7 ghost. He told me he knew you Frau were Zehel and that he thought that me and Labrador are one of the ghost too. When I heard that I tried to erase his memory, but…"

"YOU TRIED WHAT?!" Frau yelled, more shocked than angry. He knew that Castor hadn't done so, but still he didn't like the idea.

"I said tried. Damn it Frau, it would do you some good to listen to people for once or twice. Anyway I couldn't erase it because Razette grabbed Teito and took him with her where I couldn't reach. She didn't like the idea of erasing his memories and thought he was trustworthy enough to keep them."

"So Razette saved the kid's memories. I guess that when she took him up again he caught the cold, am I right?" Frau concluded which made Castor and Labrador nod. "HAHAHA, never would have thought that a fish-brain-girl would be smarter than you four-eyes."

"Razette is not a fish-brain-girl, she is a Noel Mermaid!" Castor said angered.

"Fine, fine. I get it now, no need to explain further, Razette saved Teito's memories from the evil four-eyes. I should thank her when I see her."

"You will not go near…"

"Uhm Castor, Frau… I think you should see this." Labrador cut both men off, making them pay attention to him in a second. They knew that when Labrador sounded like he did right now that there was something seriously wrong. "I think I found what Mikhail was talking about. Frau can you see if that is in fact the boy Teito-kun dreams about?"

Frau looked at where Labrador was pointing. Following the road leading from the main gate to the nearest city, he saw a boy make his way to the church. The boy seemed to have difficulty walking and his clothes seemed to be thorn. The boy was leaving a trail of blood where he had walked. "Shit that is him, but there is something strange about him though, but…" Frau couldn't finish his sentence when a sharp pain was felt in his right arm.

He pulled up his sleeve of his rope to inspect the tattoo that was on his arm. The tattoo was in fact the scythe of Verloren himself, and only Frau was able to wield it. But wielding such a strong weapon was a burden to him too. The darkness that the scythe was made of had Frau battle his sanity every second of the day. The scythe enjoyed toying with Frau's mind, trying to hunt down lost souls he could devour. The scythe had his own will and was sure to let Frau know that he did.

Frau fought the scythe down while he kept looking at the boy who was getting closer any minute. "We have t-to make sure T-Teito is safe."

"Frau, are you all right?" Labrador asked when he saw Frau battle his never ending battle with the cursed weapon.

"I am f-fine. Leave me and make sure that the k-kid is safe." Frau all but growled as sweat dripped down his temple.

"I have already told the doll, which was training with the boys, to get them to their room. They should be fine as long as we stop the boy from entering the church." Castor said, already turning around to welcome the boy on the road.

Having the scythe so far under control again that it was safe to face the boy too, he nodded and followed together with Labrador.

The doll in front of Hakuren and Teito suddenly stopped, making the two boys crash into it. "Ow, why did it stop?" Hakuren asked to no-one in particular.

Teito walked around and waved a hand in front of its face. "It just froze. It isn't responding at anything. We should use this to win the race, come on." Taking of again while keeping his defense up he ran to the finish. Hakuren soon followed, not wanting to loose from the other boy.

They were almost at the finish when they were grabbed by their collar. "What the hell?!" Teito yelled as he looked back at the doll who was holding them. He saw another doll in the clothes of a nun walk towards them. "What does Castor-san think he is doing?" The nun-doll took Hakuren over from the Frau-doll as they both started to carry the boys to their room.

Teito was trying to get away from his doll, but found it nearly impossible. He looked over at Hakuren and found that the other boy had folded his arms and legs, looking like a cat being carried by his mother, seemingly to agree with what happened. Thinking he couldn't escape either way he stopped trying and waited to see where they would be taken.

Thats when they passed the main gate of the church. Teito felt a weird sensation coming from outside the gate. Looking at it he saw nothing strange about it and was about to shrug it off when suddenly the doors opened. Behind it he could clearly make out three bishops. Trying to see what the bishops were waiting for he noticed a boy standing before them. The boy seemed really familiar, but also in pain. An image was shown in his head, an image of a boy he thought was dead.

Hakuren noticed the way Teito grew completely still. He looked at the younger boy only to see that the boy was drained of all color in his face. "Teito…?" he tried but didn't get a response. "Hey, Teito, are you ok?" he tried again, but again wasn't answered. Hakuren reached out and swung his arm out to hit Teito on his shoulder. This made the boy react. "Teito, what is happening?" he asked concerned.

"Master I think you should go to your room with the Hakuren-boy. Frau will tell you when he is finished. You should wait patiently…"

"This is what you and Frau were talking about the other day weren't you. This is what you tried to hide from me."

"I won't lie to you master. It is true I tried to hide this from you, but I have my reasons for wanting to keep this from you for a little while. Please master, listen for once and go to your room."

"No, I will not. I know who this is. I need to know if he is ok. I need to know how he can still be alive after what happened. I need to see him."

"Master I beg you not to go."

Teito's eyes snapped to Hakuren when he was hit by the boy. "I-I don't know. I have to get to the gate. I have to see for myself."

Zaiphon started to spread around Teito making his whole body glow in blue light. Hakuren had never seen nor felt so much power radiate from Teito. He knew Teito was strong, but this was insane. The doll holding Teito melted away making him drop to the ground. Hakuren saw Teito run away, but could do nothing more than watch as he was still in the hold of the nun-doll, having no chance at all to get away from it to help the boy.

As soon as Teito felt that he was standing on his own feet again he made a run for the gate. He sprinted up the few steps leading up to the doors before he skipped to a sudden stop, just behind Frau. 'It cant be, it is not possible. He was hit, I saw him fall down. No-one should be able to survive that. How can this be.'

"Y-Your alive?" Teito stumbled two steps before he tried to run past the bishops to the boy in front of them.

All three bishops looked behind them when they heard the shaken voice of the boy they had come to know so well. Frau saw the first two steps and could anticipate quick enough to catch the boy in his run before he could reach the other. "No kid, he isn't who you think he is. There is something different about him. You shouldn't go to him."

Teito trashed in Frau's hold. "Let me go. Let me go." he screamed, making his voice break. "I have to go to Mikage, Let me go. MIKAGEEEE…" he tried to get out of Frau's hold while trying to reach for the boy he thought he had lost the day he had escaped the military.

"T-Teito, is that you? Is that really you?" The boy in front of them asks. "I have finally found you, after all this searching have I found you." The boy fell down on his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry, so sorry." Were the last words he said before consciousness left him.

So that was it,.. a nice open ending I guess,.. What happened to Mikhail after Teito lost him when they escaped. What did Mikhail mean with something divine inside the boy. How will Teito react. What can the three bishops do to help the kid. Whooohoo, i guess u lot have to wait for it. But i promise it wont be so long like last time,..
