Wow. I didn't expect so many reviews, but I was so glad to receive them. It's surprising, but relieving, that people are still interested in this story even after such a long wait for an update. Well I won't blabber anymore, here is the extra long, crackish chapter which inspired this story :)

All Yamato could think about as he was falling through the sky was that maybe he wouldn't die since if he knew where his partner was in the endless sky, he could just teleport to atop Yuujou's back.

But he didn't, and he was falling too fast to even consider contacting his partner via telepathy- despite Yuujou screaming in his mind.

He was falling and falling – but as he squeezed his eyes shut in pain and prayed that Yuujou would forgive him for leaving him after he had waited for him for so long, and sent an apology to Taichi for he was going to die despite his efforts to save his life (maybe he was just destined to die) and apologized to Sora as well, suddenly he wasn't falling anymore.

…He wasn't falling anymore.

He'd landed. And he wasn't dead.

There was pain, but not as much pain as he would have expected from broken bones- and the pain from the dark attack seemed to be receding. His muscles just ached- from landing onto…something in the air?

"…Huh?"

"Oh my god! An angel princess landed in my arms!"

Yamato opened his eyes. And stared.

Two almond eyes met his blue eyes. The almond eyes were in a face. With a nose. And a mouth. And there was a head. With hair. Brown hair. Long brown hair. With stars. And those lips were smiling – grinning at him.

It was a human. Or was it an angel since they were in the sky? But angels didn't exist, right? But it was a girl. A girl with brown hair, who was looking at him like he was the most precious thing she had ever seen – and wait, did she just call him an angel princess?

Yamato stared. "I'm not a princess."

The brown haired girl who had caught the blonde blinked. "You're not?"

"No." Yamato deadpanned.

"But- you're prettier than me!" The girl exclaimed and Yamato twitched, "How can you be prettier than me and not be a princess?!" She whined, "That's not fair!"

"So I fell through the sky and landed in some strange girl's arms. And she thinks I'm a girl. A princess. Great. Well, at least I'm not dead."

"You know," Yamato said, eyebrow twitching as he laid in the strange girl's arms, "Thank you for saving my life, but this is a really uncomfortable position."

"And by the way, I'm a guy."

The girl's jaw dropped and her hold on Yamato slipped, "WHAT?!"

Yamato yelped, blue eyes widening as he almost fell off the winged beast, "H-Hey!" He yelled, "Watch it!"

"Mimi!" A new, slightly scratchy but feminine voice sounded in surprise, and Yamato felt one large wing keep him from falling through the sky. He held on tight, heart beating fast in his chest, "Be careful! You almost dropped him!"

"B-But Junshin-chan!" Mimi protested, pouting, "How can a GUY be prettier than me?!"

Yamato's eyes widened as the mystical creature turned her white horse head with a silver horn to look at him. Green eyes blinked at him in surprise. "Mimi…haven't we seen her-uh, him before?"

"We have?"

"A talking, winged beast," Yamato thought in surprise as he stared at the Pegasus (a Pegasus with a horn?) who was looking at him. He shifted his gaze to the puzzled looking brown haired girl, "Could she be…?"

"YAMATO!"

Yamato snapped his gaze up, "Yuujou!"

The blue dragon sliced through the air towards them and Mimi screamed, clutching on tight to Junshin's mane, "Ahhhhh! It's a Dragon!"

"Dragon?!" Junshin cried out, rearing her head, "Mimi, we better run away!"

"No!" Yamato yelled, and Mimi stared at him, as Yuujou hovered in the air near them.

"Yamato!" Yuujou said, staring at him with wide red eyes, "Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine." Yamato smiled at his companion, then turned his gaze to Mimi, who was looking at Yuujou in fear, "Don't worry, he's my friend."

"O-Oh…" Mimi sighed in relief, but she was still staring at the dragon wearily.

"Where are Taichi and Sora?" Yamato asked the blue winged beast.

"Still fighting," Yuujou replied. He bowed his head, "I'm sorry Yamato, I got delayed. Those bastards…it's my fault, I wasn't fast enough..."

"It's alright Yuujou, I'm alive, aren't I? I'm sure if I had fallen further you would have caught me." Yamato reassured with a smile, patting the blue dragon's head, "Are Taichi and Sora alright?"

"They should be fine. Taichi was about to go after you but I told him to stay back and fend them off with Sora, I can go faster than Yuuki." Yuujou said with a wry smile, "It seems there was more than one, and Taichi was angry at the dark thing which attacked you. Thank god you're alright!" He said. He lifted his head, as Yamato removed his hand, then turned to Mimi and her Pegasus with a toothy smile, "Thank you for saving Yamato's life."

"A-Ah…" Mimi said nervously, waving her hands, "It's no problem! I mean, I thought she-uh, I mean, he was an angel falling from the sky!" She gave a nervous laugh.

"She's scared of you." Yamato informed the blinking dragon in amusement.

Yuujou's expression fell. "…Oh." His head dropped, "What's so scary about me?"

"Well, you're a dragon, for one!" Junshin said, blinking her green eyes, "They're so fierce only dragon tamers can keep them!"

Yuujou looked even more downhearted at that, and Yamato sweatdropped, "Anyway," he said, still clutching on tightly to the Pegasus's wing as he laid on her back, "Can we please get to the ground?" He said, a pleading tone in his voice. He shivered slightly, not wanting to experience falling through the air again, "I really don't feel safe in this position."

Yuujou looked at Junshin and the Pegasus started, then nodded almost frantically, "R-Right!" She said quickly. "Mimi, make sure he doesn't fall down!"

Mimi blinked, then nodded. She pulled Yamato up with surprising strength and wrapped her arms around him, locking him securely in place against her and causing him to flush, "W-What are you doing?!"

Mimi blinked at him, "Making sure you don't fall down?"

Yamato stared, "Don't you think this is a bit too close?" He said weakly. Does she not know the meaning of personal space?!

Mimi blinked a third time, then pouted as he tried to wriggle away, "But you're so pretty! I like pretty things!" She protested and pulled him closer to her, causing him to yelp. The brown haired girl smiled as she felt the golden strands, "Wow, your hair is so soft!"

"D-Don't touch my hair!" Yamato glared and swiped her hand away. Mimi pouted at him and placed her hands on his chest instead, and he let out a surprised cry, grabbing her wrists, as a blush broke out on his face, "H-Hey! Don't touch my chest either!"

"Wow," Mimi said in awe, "It's really flat!"

"OF COURSE IT'S FLAT! I'M A GUY!"

"Ow!" Mimi pouted again, to Yamato's annoyance as he glared at her and pushed her hands roughly away. She rubbed her wrists, "You don't have to shout! I was just checking! I mean, we're both pretty, right?!"

Yamato twitched. "I'm a guy." He said tersely, face red with embarrassment. "Get that through your airhead!"

"Hey!" Mimi yelled indignantly, glaring back at the fuming blond, "I'm not an airhead! Take that back!"

Yamato smirked, "Make me!"

Mimi glared. She leaned forward and grabbed hold of Yamato's hair, pulling on it and making him gasp, "Take that back or I'll pull out your lovely hair!"

"You wouldn't dare!" Yamato yelled back, glowering icily.

It was Mimi's turn to smirk. "Oh really?"

Before he could react, she grabbed his staff from him and held the sharp edge to the beautiful golden strands and Yamato paled. "H-Hey!" He said warily, "You aren't really going to…are you?"

His hands had been clutching on her shoulders to prevent himself from falling through the air, but before he could remove them, Mimi smiled and cut off a single lock of golden hair which floated merrily through the air, gracefully separating into a few golden strands and Yamato shrieked, "MIMI!"

"Ha!" Mimi pointed triumphantly at him with his own staff and used her free hand to capture Yamato's wrists and lean closer to him, smiling mischievously as she held the blade of the staff to his hair, "So what will it be, my angel princess?" She said sweetly, "Your hair or your pride?"

It was a testament to Yamato's fear for his beloved hair that he didn't glare at her for alluding to his feminine appearance, "My hair! My hair!" He said quickly, blue eyes wide, "I'm sorry, okay?! I'm sorry!"

Mimi leaned closer, holding the blade even closer to golden hair, "Reaaally?"

"Yes!" Yamato choked back a sob, "I'm sorry! So don't touch my hair!"

"Three times the charm!" Mimi declared with a grin, and pulled the surprised blond close, "Awww, my angel princess's so cuteeee!"

"You're evil." Yamato muttered resignedly, cheeks flushed.

"I can't believe she threatened my hair! She actually cut it off!"

Meanwhile, Junshin and Yuujou exchanged glances, "Uh," Yuujou said almost warily, as he flew alongside the Pegasus, "Is your partner always like this?"

Junshin nodded, "Yeah, Mimi's always like this! She loves pretty things! Especially if they're cute!"

Yuujou sweatdropped, "Poor Yamato…" He said sympathetically.

He looked to where Yamato was glaring up at Mimi as he was forced to stay in her arms, "Let me go already!" He said unhappily, "Haven't you hugged me enough? And give me back my staff!"

Mimi blinked at him. "Well-wahhhhh!"

Junshin had shifted so suddenly that it disrupted Mimi's and Yamato's balance. Mimi had fallen back against the sudden velocity with a cry, and her arms around Yamato caused him to fall into her, his forehead hitting her chest, "OW!"

Yamato was polite enough to not ask what had happened and Mimi gasped as he withdrew, glaring at her incredulously, "Oh I'm so sorry my angel princess!" She apologized sincerely, "I forgot I'm wearing a breastplate!"

"B-Breastplate?" Yamato looked at her weirdly, "You're a warrior?"

"No! I'm a princess!" Mimi said and Yamato stared. She blinked at him, "It's true! I'm a princess so I have to wear this breastplate to protect myself from enemies! Assassins are always so tricky!"

"I…see…" Yamato said slowly, wondering how many more surprises this strange girl could give. He blinked when Mimi gasped and placed a hand to his forehead.

"Oh my! You're hurt!"

Yamato blinked again, "It's fine," he said, pushing her hand away gently, and rubbing his forehead, "It's just a bruise…you could have warned me beforehand!"

"I know," Mimi looked so genuinely apologetic that Yamato began to feel guilty. Then she smiled and said, "It's okay my angel princess, I'll kiss it better!"

"No there's really no need- hey!" Yamato blushed as Mimi leaned forward and touched her lips gently to his forehead, his blue eyes wide, "I-I said there's no need!"

He felt her lips curve into a smile against his forehead before she withdrew, smiling at him. He flinched when she reached out a hand and placed it on his forehead, "There! All better!"

"…Huh?" Yamato said. Mimi removed her hand and he raised his own hand to his forehead, pressing cautiously with his index finger. The pain was gone, "Y-You're right…how the hell…"

Mimi winked at him and touched a finger to her own cheek, "Don't I deserve a thank you?"

Yamato stared. "Thank you." He said.

Mimi pouted at him, "I meant a thank you kiss!"

A harsh glare was her response, "No way!"

Mimi's pout deepened. "But my angel princess-"

"I am not your princess!" Yamato glared disbelievingly, "Aren't you supposed to be the princess?!"

"Yeah but I'm a princess, you're an angel princess!" Mimi nodded, "It's different, see?"

"No I don't see." Yamato said wearily. It was the first time he felt tired just talking to someone!

As if to compound his frazzled senses even further, Mimi's eyes welled up with tears. "Y-You're so mean…!"

"W-What?" Yamato stuttered, staring, "What did I do?!"

Mimi sniffed. Then she burst into tears, causing Yamato to start, "H-Hey!" He said, panicking, "Don't cry!"

"Junshin! My angel princess is so mean to me!" Mimi sobbed, "She doesn't like me!"

"I'm not a girl-" Yamato stopped short as the Pegasus turned and glowered at him.

"You mean person! You made Mimi cry!" She said. Then her green eyes filled up with tears, "And when Mimi cries, it makes me want to cry too!"

The Pegasus then began to wail along with her partner, and Yamato panicked even more, "What?! Not you too! Yuujou!"

He turned desperately to his own partner, who blinked at him, "I have no idea!" Yuujou said helplessly, "Maybe you could be nicer to her?"

Yamato glared at Yuujou as if it was his fault, and the dragon bowed his head, "Sorry!"

The blond sighed. He turned back his attention to the crying girl and bit his lip. He was at a lost as to what to do- he didn't know how to make a girl stop crying! He hadn't been around many girls, and the only girl he really knew was Sora, and Sora never cried! In fact, she'd made the guys who bullied him about his feminine appearance when he was young cry!

"W-Why doesn't my angel princess like me, Junshin?!" Mimi wailed, "I was so nice to her! I caught her when she fell through the sky, I healed her wound!" She sniffed, "And she won't even give me a simple kiss!"

"I don't know Mimi!" Junshin's eyes filled with tears, "Maybe you should find a different angel princess?!"

"But I want this angel princess!" Yamato started as Mimi flung her arms around him and buried her face in his neck, "Nobody else can be my angel princess but her!"

"Why can't I have what I want for once?!"

"…What do you mean by that?"

Mimi sniffed and looked up at Yamato, "I never get what I want!" She shouted, "I'm a princess but I have to learn about the politics of my country, I have to study, I even have to learn swordfighting to protect myself!" She sobbed, "I don't like fighting! But I have to do all these things because I have a duty to my country!"

"Duty, huh…"

Mimi nodded tearfully. "And I have to meet princes!" She said, before her brown eyes narrowed in the first glimpse of anger Yamato had seen from her. He stared. "Fairytales are a lie! Princes in reality are selfish, they get distracted by other princesses, they look down on us!"

"Your country…doesn't have a prince?" Yamato asked hesitantly.

"No! My country consists mostly of females," Mimi said, biting her lip, "And I'm Mama's and Papa's only child…!"

"I see." Yamato said quietly. He inhaled. "But why an angel princess?"

"Because angel princesses are not like princes! They're kind, they're caring, they're beautiful and have a beautiful heart!" Mimi sniffed, "In that fairytale, the prince was kind, but he didn't stay with the angel princess! He chose a princess from another kingdom to marry!" Mimi's eyes filled with tears, "He's not as bad as the princes in reality, but it made me mad! I would have stayed with such a beautiful person!"

"Then why am I your angel princess?"

Mimi looked up, meeting his blue eyes, "You have beautiful blue eyes and pretty golden hair, just like that angel princess," she said, "You're kind to the ones you care about, like your partner. You fell through the sky into my arms while I'm riding on Junshin like I've always imagined – you're my angel princess! It's fate!" She sobbed, wiping a tear away from her brown eye, "So why won't you be my angel princess?!"

"Who said I won't be your angel princess?"

"…Eh?"

Mimi stopped crying for a moment to look up at him in surprise and Yamato smiled softly, unaware that the princess's heart had skipped a beat. He leaned forward, and murmured by her ear, "I'll be your angel princess," the blond said softly. He withdrew, turned to place a gentle kiss on the princess's cheek, then tilted her chin so that their eyes met. Yamato gave the surprised Mimi an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for making you cry, my prince- I mean, Princess Mimi."

Mimi just stared at him, speechless for a while, and Yamato began to feel uncomfortable. His hand dropped. Had he done something wrong? Was it not what she had wanted? But she had stopped crying…but come to think of it, the whole thing sounded ridiculous-

He was interrupted in his thoughts when Mimi suddenly smiled widely and looped her arms around him, bringing him close to her, "Kyaaaaaaaa!" Yamato's ears rang at the princess's squeal, "My angel princess kissed me!"

"I'm so happy, Junshin!"

"I'm happy for you too, Mimi!" Junshin cried out in delight, "It looks like he's your angel princess after all!"

Mimi squealed in happiness and hugged Yamato tightly, causing him to gasp, "P-Princess Mimi," he said breathlessly, "I can't breathe…"

"Oh sorry!" Mimi grinned sheepishly and drew back, looking at the flustered blond with happiness in her brown eyes, "I knew my angel princess had a kind heart!"

And then she hugged him again, and Yamato stared, then sighed. But a relieved smile slipped across his lips.

Fantasy- wanting to hold onto a fantasy, holding on to your childhood, when everything was innocent and pure. He could understand that.

Yamato smiled and allowed himself to bring his arms around the happy princess, who squealed and hugged him closer. She wasn't that bad. Sure he still thought she was an airhead, and that she made no sense at times, but after she explained to him, he could understand. He could understand why she had spoken so strangely, calling him a girl and an angel princess. It had made sense to her in her head, in her mind still clinging on to her childhood fantasy in the midst of the burden of growing up and bearing responsibility, but not to him, until she explained her reason to him, even if it was through tears.

"Yamato." Yuujou seemed to be smiling.

"Yeah?"

"Princess Mimi is right, Yamato really is a kind person!" Yuujou sounded happy, and he switched his gaze to see his partner smiling, "I'm proud to be Yamato's partner!"

"Kind? Me? Don't be ridiculous."

"Don't be shy, Yamato!" Yuujou teased at his flushed cheeks. He smiled. "You don't even know her and yet you fulfilled her wish. She made you angry but you didn't want to see her cry!"

"Of course, who wants to see a girl cry?"

Yuujou giggled and grinned, "Yamato is being shy again!" He said, "But that's just like Yamato!"

"Hey!" Yamato said indignantly but Yuujou just grinned. He sighed. "Whatever."

"Hey hey, my angel princess?"

"…Yeah?"

Mimi smiled and leaned back, "What's your name?"

Yamato blinked. "Yamato." He said.

"Yamato…angel princess Yamato!" Mimi grinned, clapping her hands together. "It's perfect!"

"How is it perfect…?" Yamato sighed. "Hey, I know I said I'll be your angel princess, but I'm a guy you know!"

"Oh I know that!" Mimi said.

"So why can't I be an…angel prince instead?" Yamato asked with hope in his voice.

"Because princes are selfish, remember?" Mimi blinked. She smiled, "Angel princes should be better, but angel princesses are the best!"

"Besides, you're so pretty! I don't care that you're a guy – you must be an angel princess!" Mimi smiled widely, giggling, "My angel princess, Yamato!"

Yamato deflated. He was about to open his mouth when Mimi smiled at him, her brown eyes shining in gratefulness, "Thank you for being my angel princess, Yamato." She said, a genuine smile on her pretty face. "I'm really grateful."

Yamato blinked, caught off guard. But before he could attempt to speak again, Junshin interrupted.

"Mimi, look out!"

"What- ahhhhhh!"

Junshin and Yuujou dodged the figure that had intercepted them in the air, and Junshin reared her head, "Mimi! I think it's an enemy!"

Yuujou's eyes widened, "Yamato! It's one of those creatures!" He yelled, "It's going to attack us!"

The creature was indeed opening its mouth, amassing a ball of dark energy. Yamato's eyes widened and he threw himself over Mimi, protecting the princess as he yelled, "Yuujou!"

Yuujou gave a mighty roar and released a breath of freezing ice, just as the creature shot the ball of dark energy forward with a dreadful cry.

The two energies collided and Junshin was forced back through the air by the explosion. Mimi screamed and Yamato grimaced as he held on tightly to the Pegasus.

Yuujou was bigger and hadn't been forced back that much. He whirled, "Yamato! Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine!" Yamato shouted back. He then turned his attention to Mimi, "Hey, give me back my staff!"

But Mimi shook her head, and Yamato stared as she said, "Junshin!"

They held on tight as Junshin dropped through the air, avoiding another ball of dark energy. The Pegasus lifted her head and Yamato watched in amazement as a ball of light formed in her open mouth, and she threw her head back and sent it flying towards the dark creature.

The dark creature screamed in pain as it was hit with the ball of light. Junshin swerved a little as it gave an enraged cry and charged towards them, "MIMI!"

"On it!" Mimi said. She pushed Yamato away and stood up on the pegasus's back, and Yamato stared in awe as she held out his staff in the air.

"W-What are you doing?!" He shouted disbelievingly. He couldn't attack without his staff! "Get down!"

This time, the dark creature had directed a bolt of dark lightning towards them. Yamato squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for the impact.

Nothing came. The ice mage opened his eyes, and let out a gasp.

"A-A barrier?!"

It was almost transparent, but there was a barrier around them. It covered them completely, and the blond stared as the bolt of dark lightning bounced off it and up into the air, disintegrating into thin air.

"Are you alright, my angel princess?"

Yamato nodded numbly, "I-I was scared for a moment there…" he said slowly and Mimi blinked, then smiled at him, "I thought…"

"Awww, no need to be scared! I'm here to protect you!" The princess flipped her hair and gave him a wink, "My angel princess!"

"Y-Yeah." Yamato said. "Thanks."

Mimi smiled at him, and dropped his staff to him. He caught it, and looked up at her, "You're a cleric?" He asked in surprise.

"Yup!" Mimi said. A staff formed in the air and she grabbed it, her eyes turning serious, "Junshin! Go closer!"

The pegasus obeyed and flew towards the dark creature, who glared at them, opening its mouth and gathering dark particles, "It's going to attack again, Mimi!"

Mimi nodded. "Let us handle this!" She shouted over to Yuujou, then held out her staff.

"Double attack, Junshin!"

"Okay, Mimi!"

The Pegasus opened her mouth and formed another ball of light, as Mimi pulled her hand back as if drawing an arrow. And she was drawing an arrow- a holy arrow, Yamato realized, as light particles formed along the staff, gathering together to form an arrow until Mimi was holding on to an arrow of light.

The dark creature had gathered enough dark energy and sent it hurling towards them in a big ball. Before Yamato could call upon his magic, Mimi had sent the holy arrow towards the dark creature, at the same time Junshin released the ball of light energy in her mouth.

It was an impressive sight – watching as the ball of light energy combined with and encased the holy arrow in its light, until the two attacks were one. The arrow of light speeded towards the dark energy, and instead of colliding with it, pierced through it until it hit the dark creature on its back, causing it to let out a torturous cry.

"Bullseye!" Mimi exclaimed with a grin as Yamato stared.

Yamato continued staring. The dark creature was struggling to keep flight, and his eyes widened as he spotted something with teeth embedded in its back, "T-There's something on its back!"

"W-What?"

Yamato bit his lip. He stood carefully up, "Yuujou! What's that on its back?"

"I think it's a gear, Yamato!"

"A gear?!"

"Yeah! And it's slightly cracked –"

"It must be what's controlling it!" Yamato decided. "Yuujou, move back!"

He held up his staff towards the air as his blue eyes narrowed. The creature was still struggling in the air and Yamato took the opportunity to gather the dormant lightning energy in the air, calling on his control over the element.

"Hey, tell your partner to get away!"

"E-Eh? Why?"

"Just do it!"

"O-Okay!" Mimi said, surprised. "Junshin!"

Junshin obeyed and turned and flew away. She turned back when she was about a distance away. The dark creature was just starting to get back its bearings, but Yamato was ready.

Narrowed blue eyes locked onto the black gear and Yamato thrust out his staff. The sky flashed for a moment and in a blink of an eye, a bolt of blue lightning descended towards the dark creature, hitting the dark gear on its back in one swift strike.

The impact caused sizzles of lightning energy around, electrifying the air. Everyone watched as the dark creature howled in pain as the dark gear flew into the air and disintegrated into nothingness.

As if freed from the darkness, the darkness of its skin and the dark haze around it faded away and they gasped as white wings were revealed, and blue eyes blinked to life.

Junshin gasped as the symbol on her neck began to glow, "T-That's!"

The other winged horse looked up, blue eyes surprised, "You- Junshin!"

Junshin stared back in surprise, "Y-You're!"

"What?" Mimi asked, blinking, "Do you know her, Junshin?"

"Sort of," Junshin said. She flew closer to the other winged horse, "What are you doing here?"

"I-I don't know," the Pegasus said, "I was just, drinking water from a lake when out of nowhere, this gear came and attacked me- I can't really remember anything after that."

"What are you doing here? Are those humans on your back?!"

Junshin nodded, "I live in this world now, with Mimi!" She smiled widely, an almost smug look in her eyes, "I told you I would find her!"

The Pegasus was speechless for a while, before she smirked. "Heh. Fine, you win," she shook her head, "And looks like you've finally learned how to fly."

"You're one of us now, Junshin."

Junshin shook her head, her silver horn which had made her so different from her kind reflecting off a ray of sunlight, "Sorry, but I belong with Mimi," she said seriously, moving her gaze to the princess, "She's my partner."

The Pegasus looked at the brown haired girl, then nodded. "She seems to be." She said simply, and raised her horse head, "Then, I will be going."

"How are you going to get back?!"

"Through that vortex, I guess."

A vortex had opened up in the sky, seeming to close in on itself, and the Pegasus spoke quickly, "Well, bye Junshin," she said, "I'll tell the others you're not dead, and you didn't run away."

She seemed to almost smile, "I'll tell them you're with the one you've been looking for."

With those words, the winged horse without a horn neighed and shot up into the sky. She flew towards the vortex, disappearing through it, just as it closed, fading away and leaving the sky empty again.

The symbol on Junshin's neck stopped glowing, as Mimi said, "W-What was that?" She said, "She could speak!"

Junshin blinked, and turned her head, "You understood?"

"Eh? Wasn't she speaking in our language?"

"Really?" Junshin was surprised, "I thought I was speaking to her through our language!"

"Anyway," Yamato interrupted and they turned to him. He lowered his staff. "I think we should get to the ground and discuss this. It seems that she was being controlled."

Mimi looked at him and he blinked, "W-What?"

Mimi blinked back, then smiled widely at him, "Oh my god!" She squealed and tackled the surprised blond onto the winged horse, "You were so cool just now, my angel princess! I didn't know you were a lightning mage!"

"L-Lightning's my second element. I'm an Ice mage," Yamato managed as Mimi squealed and hugged him more. He blushed, and yelped as he felt himself being pushed back near the air, "O-Oi! Don't! I'm going to fall!"

"An Ice mage! No wonder you're such a beauty!" Mimi beamed at him, "Oh don't worry you won't fall! I'll catch you if you fall!"

"And just how the hell are you going to do that?!"

"Because you're my angel princess!"

"That doesn't answer my question – wah!" Yamato's heart jumped in his chest as his wide blue eyes looked over the edge, "You idiot! I almost fell!"

"Oh no!" Mimi gasped, "My angel princess Yamato! Please don't fall!"

"I'm trying not to!" Yamato yelled back, glowering, "Get off me!"

"But I don't want to!" Mimi whined.

"Why?!" Yamato demanded incredulously, "You've hugged me more than anyone else has!" He said as if he couldn't believe it himself.

Mimi just pouted at him, "Because you're my angel princess!"

"Like I said, you're not answering the question!" Yamato took a deep breath, "I won't be your angel princess any longer if you don't get off me right now!"

"Eh?!"

"You heard me!"

"O-Okay!" Mimi said and pulled back from Yamato, who grumbled and raised himself up, moving away from the edge, "S-So…are you still my angel princess?"

Yamato glared. But Mimi looked innocently, hopefully at him and he sighed, "Yeah. Yeah, I am," he muttered, cheeks red and averting his gaze, "But I won't be your angel princess for much longer if we don't get to the ground!"

"R-Right!" Mimi said immediately, "You heard my angel princess, Junshin! Hurry up and get to the ground!"

Junshin sweatdropped as Mimi looked at her sternly, "A-Alright!" She said quickly, "D-Don't look at me like that, Mimi!" She whined.

Yamato stared, as Yuujou giggled in his mind, "Yamato…"

He turned to glare at the dragon, "What?"

"Tricky Yamato!" Yuujou smiled, "I think it's cute!" The dragon had the audacity to wink at him, "Angel princess!"

"…YUUJOU!"

"What? It's true!" Yuujou said innocently. He smirked as Yamato flushed, "Yamato really is tricky! First you manipulated Taichi and now this girl!"

"W-What- I didn't manipulate Taichi!"

"But you did," Yuujou blinked. "You don't remember?"

Yamato was confused, "Remember what?"

"How you acted towards Taichi."

"And how did I act towards him?"

Yuujou blinked again, then realized, "Oh yeah! Yamato was sick during that time!" He nodded, "I see!"

"What? See what?" Yamato was confused, "I don't understand! What did I do to Taichi?"

"Oh nothing." Yuujou grinned. "Nothing to worry about, Yamato!"

Yamato stared, then sighed, "Please don't tell me I did anything embarrassing," he said, "Taichi didn't say anything!"

Yuujou just grinned.
