Once again I'm sorry about the late update. I was really busy with a concert and a car wash. This chapter will hopefully be quite interesting. Enjoy. R&R please.

(Teito's POV)

I was still pissed at Hikaru for what he did, even though it happened yesterday, but I couldn't help but feel jealous that I was the only one who had something missing. As I was heading back to my room, I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye.

"Teito?"

That voice…

"Mikage?…Mikage!"

(Hikaru's POV)

Huh?…Did Teito just say Mikage?…I thought he was at the academy?…

I turned and saw that it really was Mikage. I ran over, and overheard him saying that he hadn't escaped, but Ayanami had let him go. I couldn't believe it. There was no way Ayanami would just let someone go. He always had something up his sleeve, so I looked around hoping that we weren't being watched. When I looked back at Mikage, he had his head in his hands. Teito was really concerned, and called the bishops over to help. What concerned me more, was what I had seen when the bishops walked over. A single boney wing was protruding out of Mikage's back. I took a step back, shock written all over my face.

How was I going to tell Teito?…Would he even believe me?…

I knew I needed to tell him, so I went to the room and waited outside for the bishops to leave. I was about to walk in, when I overheard the bishops talking about Mikage.

"Mikage-kun will probably disappear soon. There's only half of him left right now."

"Well, that's a problem."

"Yeah. It's my first time seeing someone with only half a soul, but just what is going on?"

Half a soul?…Only one wing…Is Mikage being possessed by a kor? But then he would have two wings. Why does he have only one?…This is more confusing than I thought. Now I have to tell Teito, and I can only hope he believes me.

(Teito's POV)

I hope Mikage's okay. He just went and passed out like that and he probably went through a lot after we left. But I still wish he'd wake up soon.

I was just sitting next to him waiting for him to get up, when I heard the door open. In walks Hikaru, probably ready to apologize for being with the bishops more than me.

"Do you need something?"

I couldn't tell what he was thinking, seeing how his expression kept changing. Anger, shock, confusion, sadness, worry…What is his problem?

"I-I need to tell you something…about Mikage…"

"Well?…What about him?"

"He…He's possessed…by a kor…"

What?…He must be desperate, trying to get me to forgive him by telling a lie about Mikage, so I'll come running back to him…

"Are you kidding me? I don't care what you're mad at me for, but don't you bring Mikage into this!"

"What are you talking about? I'm telling you he's possessed! I can see the wing!"

"Prove it! Why should I believe you? All you do is hang out with the bishops! You completely blow off your only friend to hang out with some strangers, then lie to me about my best friend? What reason do I have to believe you?"

"I-I…I'm just trying to help…"

"Well you know what Hikaru? I don't need your help! Why don't you just leave me alone? I don't want to even look at you anymore! So just go away!"

"…Fine. You want me to leave? Then I'll leave…I'm sorry for any inconveniences I've caused."

He turned and headed towards the door. He turned around to look at me, and I thought I saw a tear, but he quickly turned away and slammed to door.

Jerk…He deserved it…but maybe I did go a bit too far.

Sneak Peak:

(Hikaru's POV)

All I did was tell him what I saw…He didn't have to…be like that…

I ran down the hall not knowing where I was headed, and not really caring either. I didn't even know where I was going to sleep, seeing how Mikage, Teito, and I were supposed to sleep in the same room. So, I headed to the only peaceful place left to me, the church's garden. What I didn't realize, was who had followed me there.
