Masamune slowly lowered his hands from covering his ears. The sirens wails had stopped. Naroshie had walked over to look out the window, "I don't understand."

"What is it Naroshie?"

"Outside, the people they act as if nothing happened." She pulled the curtains open to allow Masamune to see. She was right, people drove and walked the streets as if nothing had happened.

"Thats strange, maybe normal people can't hear or see the supernatural?"

"But you can see me." Naroshie turned to him. Masamune seemed to be out of suggestions. "Maybe it's because you summed Rea?"

"Maybe, but-" Masamune gasped when a thought came to his mind. "Then maybe Ginga heard it!" Masamune pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Why would this Ginga person be able to hear the siren?"

"He saw an angel earlier, so if he can see creatures then he can hear them right?"

"Masamune I don't think it's a good idea to involve more people-"

"Hey Ginga did you-what are you talking about? Stone? Ginga calm down, where are you? The harbor okay we'll-" Masamune jerked his phone away from his ear. Naroshie could even hear the commotion from the other line befor it went dead. "Ginga is in trouble! We have to get to the harbor now!" Masamune grabbed his bag from the table and ran for the front door.

"Wait!" Naroshie followed. Masamune was outside before her and moved quickly to hail a taxi. "What are you going to do? You just a human and by the sounds of what was happening some being is attacking-"

"Ginga is my best friend and I'm not letting some monster kill him! Either you're going to help me or stay here." Masamune climbed into the taxi. Naroshie stood for a moment before climbing in with a sigh.

"This is a mistake." She mumbled.


The two had the driver drop them off a block away from the harbor and began running towards the sound of Ginga's shouts. Ginga was on the ground a few feet away from a shadow of a tall male. Ginga struggled to get up again. "Ginga, are you okay?" Masamune ran up to him. Ginga had a bruised cheek and darkening left eye along with scrapes and bruises all over.

"I was walking back from Madoka's place when that thing attacked me. Masamune I think its after you!" Ginga looked back at the shadowy figure. "He kept trying to get me to take him to you and some angel, Masamune, what's going on!?"

"There's no time to explain right now, but I promise later everything will be explained." Masamune stood up with an angry look. "Show yourself!"

A hiss like laugh filled the silence and the male revealed himself. A thin, tall boy with red hair with yellow in his bangs stood with a grin. She loked at the clips in his hair that looked like a pair of snake eyes. "So you're the one I'm after. Rea will be pleased when I bring you to her." the boy drug his S's out like a snake.

"I don't care how pleased she'll be! What does she want with me and Naroshie!?" Masamune demanded an answer.

"Oh, Naroshie will just be her snack, but you...Rea has to make sure you're taken care of so you won't be able to send her back to her imprisonment."

"What are you-"

"Nevermind what he said for now Masamune I'll take care of him, you just get your friend out of here!" Naroshie stepped up to face Rea's servant.

"Foolish angel do you even know who I am?"

"No, but I imagine that you're going to tell me."

"I am Reiji Mizuchi, a descendant of the great Medusa." he smirked, his golden eyes showing how proud he was of being related to the snake haired woman.

"So what are you going to do? Turn me stone?"

"I would, but I have something special for you and your friends." Reiji cackled. Naroshie ran towards him, a flame light in the palm of her hand. When she moved to strike at him with her flame the snake boy took a step aside which caused Naroshie to come to a stumbling hault. "You're no where near my level, give up now."

"You wish!" She snapped. Reiji gave a toothy smile.

"So be it, now the fun begins. Naroshie felt the ground beneath her began to shake. Four green scaled snakes burst through the cement. They rose a few feet about Naroshie and glared down at her with golden eyes. " Medusa turned people to stone, I can, but fighting is way more fun." Reiji held his hand out telling his snakes to attack her. They dove down at her, Naroshie's arms gave off flames as she jumped up to take flight. Her flames allowed her to push her way past the serpents and let her fly up. She flew while trying to avoid the serpents attacks as they lunged for her, trying to strike with their fangs.

Naroshie's never had been a strong flyer being that her wings we so small. Her feathered wings weren't built for flying for more than a few minutes, which only gave her a small window for attack. If she were to fall back to the ground it would be impossible for her to spot the snakes underground. I have to get rid of the snakes first! Naroshie began devising a plan in her mind she couldn't help but notice the crane to the right of her, it still had a load of shipping crates attached. Perfect.

Naroshie flew in the direction of the crane until she was by the crates that were suspended in the air. "Over here!" She shouted, but only two of the serpents rushed towards her.

"You idiots get back here!" Reiji's voice called. When the two reptiles were under the crates Naroshie quickly fired one of her fireballs at the suspension that held the load. The crate's went crashing down on the serpents. Next Naroshie turned her attention to the third enemy then looked to the entrance of one of the warehouses. She flew at full speed into the old building, snake not far behind her. She maneuvered around the steel support beams. The serpent didn't realize it but by winding it's body around the beams it was twisting itself into a knot.

Once those were taken care off Naroshie was ready to go for Reiji. She couldn't stand to fly any longer, so she had to make this hit count. Reiji was standing a ways below the angel. He wasn't terribly worried about the attack that was coming because he had a plan. Naroshie held she hands out in front of herself, "you can do this!" She told herself. She focused as much of her power into the palms of her hands in order to create a ball of fire. Fire engulfed Naroshie's arms, it burned around her while spreading. No, not now! She !mentally cried.

Naroshie could manipulate and create her own flames, she had been able to since she could remember, but that didn't mean she was a !aster at it either. Back at her home town she had been known for her tendance to accidentally sent objects a flame. Usually when she angry or feeling intense emotions. Right now she could feel herself slowly losing control of her flames. She had never been able to or tried to do something as big as trying to concentrate all her power into one move before.

Reiji laughed a hiss like laugh, perhaps he wouldn't even need his plan by the looks of it the angel would hurt herself rather than him.

"Stop laughing, don't think you've won! I know I can do this!" Naroshie's eyes closed for a second before reopening them. "I've got you!" Her Flames collected themselves into a large ball of fire and went swirling towards the snake boy.

When the smoke cleared it showed that Naroshie had fallen to the ground and was on her knees. Her wings dropped down in and act of being exhausted. Naroshie had known that she wasn't strong enough to perform something so powerful and continue fighting, but it worth it to send Reiji back to his own relm she couldn't imagine what the city would turn to if he stuck around causing trouble.

When the smoke cleared it also revealed Reiji standing in the same spot, not a scratch on his pale skin. Reiji had pulled his bangs from his eyes, one of his snake eyes clip had fallen to the ground. He fire had been turned into nothing but a cluster of crumbling stone. He laughed, "you forgot that I could turn things to stone." Naroshie sat in a state of shook. Did this mean that she lost?


After helping Ginga back up Masamume proceeded to help Ginga a ways away from Naroshie and Reiji's battle. They had stopped near an alley. "Ginga what happened!?"

"I told you already! He's after you!" Ginga sat leaning on the brick wall while Masamune stood looking around for any trouble, he didn't want to be caught off guard by another one of Rea's minions. "Now you tell me what's going on."

"Okay, but it's kind off strange."

"I'm friends with you, sure it seems normal compared to some of the things you do."

"Well, apparently I side succeed in Simmoning Rea but I didn't seal her back so now she's running around. Not only that but she wants me and Naroshie gone sonwe can't send her back to her prison. And I ran into two demon like things and they wanted to eat me or something, that's when I met that angel Naroshie and that's about it." Masamune took a deep breath.

"Wow, okay, so pretty much a vampire wants you dead?" Ginga looked up at his best friend in shook of what he had just heard.

"Yeah that's about it." Masamune dropped onto the ground to sit with the redhead. "What am I going to do?"

"I don't know, but you're really in some trouble."

"..."

"..."

"Ginga did you just say that?" Masamune questioned.

"No." The friends turned to look at the furry being that had popped it's head around the alley's entrance. A brown eyed cat with brown fur stood looking at them.

"Well, it oboviously wasn't that cat because cats can't talk-"

" What are you talking about? I was the to one talking!" The cat jumped in front of the boys.

"Its bad that a talking cat isn't the weirdest thing I've seen all day.

The cat give a big smile before speaking "my name is Garfield Cromwell nice to meet you!"

"Well, um, nice to meet you Garfield I'm Masamune and this is Ginga."

"So have you always been a talking cat or-"

"Always since birth. Besides me for a minute, it sounds like you've had a rough day, I don't do this often but you can totally pet me if you need to." Garfield offered. Neither of the boys moved. "No? Okay then I think I know someone that could help you what's your problem."

"Really? Wow, thanks! we all really need some help right now because we have no idea how we're going to stop this." Masamune smiled.

"It's cool, but I didn't think she'll appreciate being visiting this late." Masamune hadn't realized it but it was already almost twelve, how long at they been gone?

"No problem! You can come back to my apartment with us for the night, but I just need to make sure Naroshie is okay." It Masamune a moment before jumping up, "Naroshie, I hope she's okay!" Masamune went running back towards the harbor, "Gimga take Garfield back to my place, we'll meet you there as soon as we can!" He called over his shoulder.


Before Masamune arrived back at the harbor Naroshie had been powerless against Reiji. She was soaking wet from being dragged through the sea, bruised from Reiji's serpent biting and ramming into her. The snake at even wrapped its self around her to take her high into the air with it, letting her fall aways back down and causing her to injure her shoulder. But now Reiji was ready to finish her off.

"I win" Reiji hissed. Reiji would turn the girl to stone and once she was in Rea's clutches he would turn her back so that Rea could feast on her blood.

"No...please" she begged. The serpents body wrapped around her to hold her still. "Let me go!"

"You better listen to her." A voice Rose from behind Reiji. He turned swiftly to face the female voice. A female angel stood glaring at him.

"Hikaru!" Reiji stated in stock. He recognized the blue haired Archangel as one how had defeated him so long ago, sending him into centuries of imprisonment before even Rea had been present on Earth. Hikaru was wearing simple white robes that flowed around her. She also had a golden headpiece with sign of Aquarius present. Her large white wings sat folded on her back.

"I sent you away once, I would've thought you had learned your lesson then. But now I find you attacking a fellow angel." Her purple-blue eyes narrowed as she lifted her staff. The dull gold colored staff was nothing special, the top of it curved into a C shape and a blue gem dangled down from the tip of it. "Time to go back to your own world!"

"NO!" He tried to attack her, but failed. The water from the sea behind her rose when the jem on her staff began to glow. The water spun around Reiji and a bright blue light goes around the snake boy. Hikaru lowered her staff and the scene disappeared and so did Reijinwho was now locked back up. Naroshie had been set free and tried to thank Hikaru, but failed when the Archangel turned to spread her wings and fly off. Before disappearing she turned to say something, "I'll be back soon, when you really need me again!" Hikaru disappeared into the clouds. Naroshie stood watching in amazement that an Archangel had really helped her. Her head began to spin and she heard Masamume call her name before passing out.

Finally done! I'm proud about how this chapter turned out, I spent a while writing it. Anywyas Garfield belongs to striker86 thanks for spending him in! And I still would like a few more oc's.
