Teito's POV
"Teito, I trust you with the Eye of Michael, if you ever happen to lose this, call for it. You are the only one that can…" Can what? Who was he? I rolled on to the right side of the bed and groaned. Aches…Yesterday's training was so extreme that when I was doing it, Castor-san looked like he was torturing me. That's all I could remember after passing out from being weary and hungry all day. Castor-san said that by not eating for a day, my zaiphon would improve more during the training. Clearly not, I guess.
As I opened my eyes to look at the clock, I realised that I wasn't in my own room that I always share with Hakuren. This room is different. The wall, pure grey, the floor, patterned like mosaic, everything was so bright because the sun was just shining through the gap between the curtains. Underneath the curtains were a coffin and the clock-with a bunny on top of it. It read 11:30 am.
I hopped out of bed just when the door opened and slammed against the wall. It scared me that I lost my balance and struggled to stand still. "You finally woke up, ya damn brat." said a blond bishop who was taller than Castor-san by an inch. Ugh…Frau, ruining my mood at the beginning of the day…
"Get out of bed and go walk around for today. Us, bishops are going to be busy in a meeting with the Arch-Bishop. Get some food later, will you? You look like a walking dead brat." Frau stalked out of the room looking quite preoccupied with something secretive and difficult.
I glared at his back until he turned around the corner. There's nothing to worry about, I thought to myself. Maybe he's just troubled with some Kors last night. What if, it's about what I've been doing at training? Knowing that I told myself not to worry, it made me worry even more, so I decided to get dressed while using my head to figure it out. I slipped on my Imperial Army uniform and headed out into the courtyard.
The courtyard is my favourite place to hang out. I can really feel the breeze play with my hair and the sun beating down onto my skin. It reminds me of those days I spent with Father. They're a bit of my memories that I had remembered. Unfortunately, Father died sealing my memories away. Why did Father seal them away? Ayanami tried to make me remember where the Pandora Box was, and there's a lot more rumours about Father stealing it. Hopefully, I, one day will discover the truth and mystery behind all this.
I sat down on those white marble seats which were kind of like a bench around the fountains. Staring up into those clouds – you know, cloud watching like a little kid. So peaceful. "I heard that terrible danger will soon come."
"This church is protected by the seven ghosts, we'll be safe here."
"It's just a rumour or so I was told."
I looked down and across the courtyard. Oh, it's just the sisters. Terrible danger? How bad can it get? Usually when it comes to danger, it would come after me. It's not going to happen now, right?
"Burupya~"
Distracted from my train of thought, I automatically looked at where the sound came from. It was Mikage, my friend who risked his life to save mine. A big thanks to Frau, for reincarnating his soul and guiding him back to me in the body of a fyulong. It's been so long since I have left that room.
"Burupya~"
I looked at Mikage with loving eyes, my best friend, my first friend, and my friend forever. He'll always be the shining star in my deeply scarred heart. I started playing around with Mikage's fyulong baby fur. It's so smooth, yet purple. At last, I put him on my shoulder and gazed up at the cloudy sky. The sky reminds me of those days in the Imperial Army. I was picked on for being a branded slave. I was, the favourite pet of Chairman Miroku, though, he probably made me train to become the strongest out of all, so that they can gain more power.
I thought of possible outcomes if I had never left the Army and those possible outcomes if I leave the church. So far, this is the safest place I've ever been to. I soon lay on my back to have a better view of the clouds, before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep.
"Teito, I love you and I wish I can be with you, to protect you from every harm coming your way. I wish you find what you're looking for…" It's that voice again. I can't make out who it was, but I kind of think that it's Father. I wasn't that far into the dream when I was disturbed by something nibbling on my hair. It was probably Mikage. Soon, the nibbling stopped and it was replaced by shouting.
"Teito, snap out of your dream!"
"You and your gangs infiltrating this church."
"The flowers are weeping."
The more I lay there, the more shouting I heard. But then, I heard his voice. I shot my eyes open and bolted upright. Head rush, but there's no time for that now. In front of me were Frau, Castor-san and Labrador. Past them, was Ayanami. His perfect face, smoothed into a smile almost too evil to be called a smile. His sword always by his side and his hat in the same position. No one can mistake him.
"Teito, I came for you. Now, be a good boy and come to me." The look in his eyes, were demanding.
"Damn you!" Frau had already drawn the scythe out from his arm and started to charge after Ayanami. For Castor and Labrador, they were to help Frau out in his battle, but Hyuuga appeared with his begleiter. What I saw in front of me, was a three versus three battle between the black hawks and the seven ghosts. Frau, who seems to be disadvantaged because it was obvious that he had injured his left arm from defeating one – winged Kors, muttered under his breath. Ayanami has one injury on his face. A bit scratched, but it won't leave a scar. The more I watched, the more nervous I became. Blood would spill out of someone now and then and panting could be heard from almost everyone; except Ayanami.
I've never seen Ayanami that excited in a battle before. He charged after Frau with his sword and pierced him through the arm; in return, he was sliced on his leg. Red liquid oozed out from both injuries and dripped onto the ground. It's bleeding heavily and soon wet any cloth around the wound. I grabbed hold of Mikage and put him to my chest. Him being near my heartbeat somehow made me calmer. One look from the battle and there were more scratches and gore.
I stood up - watching the battle with desperate eyes. Desperate, for I do not want anyone to die here and I do not want to go back to the Army. The battle was nearing to finish. I could see who was winning and it was the Black Hawks. One fatal blow would kill Frau, and Castor and Labrador would last a few more shots. I could see, that every movement they made, it ached every muscle and wound.
If the fight continued any longer, the seven ghosts might actually die protecting me. There must be a way to stop the fight, it's for their sake. I plotted a plan in my head - thinking that the battle would decease since Ayanami is after me. What am I to Ayanami? Coming in the middle of the day - out in the open too, only to capture me and bring me back to the Army? My heart skipped a beat and before I knew what I was doing, my legs moved forward, almost running to the middle of the battle. I could see Frau panting with blood dripping out of his limbs and mouth, Castor, his robe shredded at the stomach area and Labrador looking dreadful and tired as ever. I slowed to a stop just before I entered the "battle". No one seemed to notice my presence.
Ayanami shoved Frau to the far wall and prepared a red zaiphon - the finishing blow. My eyes grew wider at the sight that Ayanami took his time to walk to Frau who had his head down and his arms beside him. Random thoughts flew into my head at once and I knew what was going to happen. If I don't do something now, Frau would die. Frau's been protecting me all this time ever since I came into this church. He taught me ways, how to grow tall - not like I've managed to grow a single centimeter, those days when he smiled at me. Memories that one can grant another person. By now, Ayanami was almost halfway to reaching Frau. I remembered that day when Castor-san set up a race between his dolls and mine, I bent down letting my fingers touch the floor, one foot in between each hand and one foot at the back for a push-off. My front knee bent 90 degrees - I sprinted right ahead to where Ayanami and Frau was. I reached there at the same time Ayanami stopped a metre away from the blond bishop.
"Ayanami! I swear, I will kill you" I angrily said while building up a zaiphon in my hand ready to lunge at him. "First you took Mikage away from me, what else do you want?!"
"I want you to come with me and I will not kill Zehel" he gestured to Frau who was behind me.
"To get me, why must you fight?" I ran forward and then jumped up to punch my zaiphon into Ayanami's chest, it didn't work. He man-slapped me on my cheek and before I knew it, I was sent flying to the wall next to Frau. I could see Frau's wounds are still opened and any rough or sudden movements would make them bleed. Luckily, I wasn't hurt so I ran up and tried attacking Ayanami again. This time, he caught my hand, and his other hand, he put around my waist. Knowing that I was trapped and caught, I struggled to be free but instead, I found myself staring into Ayanami's eyes. It's so deep that there seems to be no end to it. He once again reached deep into my soul, this caused me to cry in great pain.
"Join me or Zehel and your friends will suffer. This would be all your fault. Their lives and happiness depends on you, will you throw their chances and lives away? You're a selfish person, clinging onto other people who aren't really your friends at all." That hit my nerve.
" They are my friends!" This term, when I retaliated, he pulled my closer and leaned closer to my face. I could feel the coldness of his skin. It was as if he's never been warm in that army uniform and it's also sunny today. He leaned closer and closer as every second passed, his lips a few centimetres away. This could not be happening to me, I thought. To escape the horrible sight of being nearly kissed by an enemy, I closed my eyes and waited for that moment to pass. Instead, I felt a tiny wind change as if Ayanami turned and leaned forward next to my ears.
"Your friend, that blond I killed, he betrayed you when you ran away. He told me your location, what you told him. Now, come with me, or fear not your friends and anything else precious to you, will wilt."
I have already lost a very precious friend, I don't want to lose anymore. They sacrificed alot just to help and protect me, in a way, I must protect them back.
"Sorry, Frau, Castor, Labrador...Hakuren..." I whispered as I looked like sadly onto the floor "and to you...Mikage..."
"I see, you have chosen to come with me of your own free will." He said, the evil smile returning back to his face. Still holding onto my hands, he pushed me forward almost making me trip over as he steps too fast and the pace is uneven, he guided me to his ship and set off. There, he let me go and went into another room.
"Aya-tan, you're happy now aren't you?" Hyuuga said.
I looked at him and he smiled a cheerful and innocent smile. I don't know why he chose to follow Ayanami, but to me, if I was forced to join, I would rather be locked up in jail than fight against my feelings.
"Back to headquarters." Ayanami said. He came back to where I was, letting the collar bite his finger for identification and put another one just like the collar on my wrist. I stared in disbelief. Why does he need two on me, if he has me captured anyways? What is he going to do to me?
