Waiting for the rest of my team to arrive outside walls of Second Shibuya, I glanced around.

The soldiers kept staring or glancing at me, whispering about how I could be the 'Angel of Salvation' due to them hearing of my power from the angel and how 'angelic' I look.

The uniform I wore looks like theirs, but a bit different from the usual girl's uniform. Mine is in the form of a Chinese qui pao and there a splits on the side of my legs, so I can move freely.

I had on a short jacket of the blazer that reached to my wrists and ankle length boots.

As one could see, I liked designing my clothing.

I sighed, staring at the broken city before me, 'What is taking Yuichiro and Shinoa so long? My patience is beginning to wear thin..'

Just as it began to thin, I heard the two familiar voices behind me and didn't have to turn around to see whom they were.

"You're late," I said to them.

"Sorry, sorry. Yu was taking his sweet little time," Shinoa said and walked next to me. "Depressing, isn't it?"

I kept staring at the broken world, "Not anymore, to me, at least."

"Oh? What have you been doing for the past four years to make you have that view of the world?"

"Learning things I've never learned and things..I wish I never learned," I told her, walking down the steps.

"Strange indeed," Shinoa commented.

"Hey, Sayo. What's with your uniform?" Yu asked me.

I glanced to him and smiled, "Do you like it? I made it myself just by looking at the girl's uniform."

He smiled, "It looks good on you."

Smiling at his compliment, I closed my eyes, 'Perhaps I should keep sowing different outfits. I'm lucky mother taught me how to sow.'

"Hey, guys. Over here," Kimizuki called to us where he and Yoichi stood against a wall as we walked down the steps.

"So, where's Guren?" Yuichiro asked them.

"I don't know. We're-" Kimizuki was cut off by a girl with blond hair and violet eyes yelling.

She seemed to be having a..one-sided argument with Guren about being stuck on our team with a bunch of rookies and not being team leader, Shinoa's Squad.

Due to not wanting to hear her make a fuss until everything is settled, I zoned out a little again.

'Learning new things doesn't hurt, even if it's from a group of beginners. I could teach her a thing or two about controlling anger and deal with a situation one has been put in. *Sigh* Although, she seems to be stubborn...perhaps due to a past tragic event?'

"Wait..you said, "Team of five," Lt. Col. Why is there six of us? Someone has to be reassigned," the blond girl said. She looked to me, "She looks incompetent."

I smiled, "Me?"

She frowned and attempted to kick me, but Yu caught her left foot with his right hand, "I dare you..." Yu growled.

I placed my right hand on Yu's left shoulder, "Now, now, Yuichiro. Mitsuba is our team mate. No need to fight."

He let go of her foot and stood beside me as if he was a guard dog, 'So cute~.'

"As for the six team members, you'll just have to trust me on this. I know for a fact Sayomi will be of great help to you all."

I placed my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes, "You speak as if you know me."

He smirked, "You just remind me of an old acquaintance. Alright, Shinoa's Squad, move out!"

~Small Time Skip~

As we headed out on our mission, I kept gazing with my intense eyes to places where Horsemen were very far away, wondering if they'd become a threat to us. If they did, I'd go handle the situation myself without anyone knowing where I went.

"You, girl with the rare eyes," I heard Mitsuba spoke to me.

"Hmm?"

"What's your name? I didn't catch it."

"Sayo Kirio."

"Night-born?" she questioned, looking at me weirdly.

I made a closed eyed smile, "I was born at night."

"Uh...huh," she said, staring at me suspiciously.

To clear up the suspicious atmosphere, Yoichi started talking a how devastating and destructible the world looks.

'*Sigh* That was kinda close. Even if she did suspect me of being a vampire, it would be much harder for her now to prove it than Mika.'

"H-he..HELP!" a girl's voice screamed.

Looking forward, I saw a small girl running away from a Four Horseman of John.

Yu attempted to go and help the girl, but Mitsuba held him back, "No! Stay in formation!"

"Why?! She's going to die if we don't!" Yu yelled at her.

"It's a trap vampires set up to make us break formation, and they'll kill us off one by one."

Passing the bickering two by, I approached the little girl who had fallen and I kneeled down in front of her on my right knee.

"Are you okay, little one?" I asked kindly in my angelic voice and half-lided eyes.

At first, she was shocked to see me, but I calmed her down by patting her head with my left hand.

In response, she nodded her head as I glanced behind at the Horseman that was coming towards us quickly.

"Sayo! Save the girl and move it!" Yu yelled in panic.

I hugged the girl close to me, then picked her up in my right arm and turned towards the Horseman.

Holding my right palm forward...the Horseman disappeared as a big, round golden Star of David formed in front of my hand.

The Horseman turned into golden dust and sparkles, making the girl stare in awe at the scenery.

I put her down and lightly pushed her back towards my team members. She ran towards Yu and hugged him by his legs.

Glancing at the top of the nearly crumbled buildings, I stood straight.

"Why aren't you attacking," I demanded an answer from the vampires in my normal tone of voice.

They didn't answer. I stared directly into the leader's eyes, "You must all know..who I am."

"...The Angel of Salvation..." he said a few meters behind me.

"Go ahead. Attack. I'm unarmed," I said with a mocking smile.

"Who the hell does she think she is?! She's only livestock-"

In the blink of an eye, I had my grip around one of the subordinates' neck with my right hand and indented him in a well of a building. With crazed eyes, that were filled with rage, I showed my true nature.

"Don't you ever call me that."

Tightening my grip on his neck, I crushed his neck, making blood spill on my hands.

"Hey, leader. Tell your queen that I said, "Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead," I said with a insane smile, making sure it was concealed from my team mates.

Surprisingly, but not to me, he nodded in fear, and they all retreated as if putting off the situation, like it never started.

*Silence*

"What..in the hell...did I just witness?" Kimizuki questioned himself.

I looked in their direction and made a small smile, "..Something I wish you didn't have to witness..."

"Just..what are you?" Mitsuba questioned in utter disbelief.

I sighed, "Just a measly human who was given power from an angel."

'In due time, they'll find out..because I know for a fact that I'm going to run into some familiar faces,' I thought and frowned a little.

"Does that make you an angel?" the little girl asked me.

I smiled a bit, "I'm not sure. Now, we'll get you help immediately."

~Time Skip~

After taking a bath after Shinoa and Mitsuba, I slid on a gray spaghetti strapped, thigh length nightgown.

'I know it's bad to eavesdrop, but I needed to listen to Shinoa and Mitsuba as of to why she wanted us to stay in formation earlier. I knew something else was wrong. Her previous team mates were killed due to her breaking formation.'

I walked to the locker room and saw that they were getting information from her.

My eyes narrowed when she hesitated sometimes, '...It's not good to tell a lie, little one, but I understand your position as of now, so I won't say anything for now. I don't need them being even more suspicious of me as is..'

I felt a tug on the bottom of my gown and looked down to see her, "Thank you for saving me, Miss. How could I ever repay you?"

I looked up in thought for a while, "What I want...is something I could never get back..." I clenched my hands into fists, "Unless I fight for it."

She tilted her head in confusion since it was a unresponsive type of repayment.

"Never mind me. I just want you to smile, 'kay?" I asked, then made a closed eyed smile.

She stared in worry for a while, but then smiled, seeing that it was convincing enough.

'What I really want..is not a what, but a who...and a he...but I'm not sure if he's even alive..'

(If only this was vice versa, she would know for sure...)
