Warning: Bad English. And Junjou Romantica belongs to Nakamura Sungiku-sensei

"…Where am I…?"

Misaki opened his eyes lazily. His mind was all hazy and he could barely see anything at first. His head was hurt like hell, and somehow, there was something… important—he could feel it—that happened not too long ago, but somehow, he forgot what it was. When he was succeeded in woke up fully, he looked at the place around him.

His eyes widened in surprise when he realized where he was.

White, and clean. You could hear the melody of Angels singing. The place felt so warm and nice. The place felt so peaceful. And even though he was aware that he was trapped within a white jail—it didn't feel like a jail at all. Misaki knows this place. Only one place could feel something as warm, as peaceful as this…

"…Heaven?" Misaki whispered, still looked surprised.

"Not quite right. This is your homeland Misaki. The world of angels."

There was a little chuckle and Misaki gasped for not realizing there was another person in that place. That person smiled at Misaki warmly, and Misaki was completely shocked. He could feel it. This aura… this warm, loving, yet strong aura… belongs only to god of life and death.

Misaki never met the God personally, but every angel in anywhere knows how the God's aura would feel, no matter they had seen the god or not. That's why Misaki was very surprised… to see the face of his dear friend to be the God's face.

"Sumi… senpai…"

Sumi Keiichi smiled at the boy. "Don't call me by that name in this place."

Misaki quickly realized his position. "…I ask for your forgiveness… Father."

Sumi laughed. "No need to be so formal too. We have been friends in the human world. Besides, the only perfect Father in this universe is the God in heaven, not me." He ended his sentence with a little sad smile.

Misaki have many questions running in his head. This person he adores, he had been glomped by, the person that sometimes made Usami Akihiko jealous, the person who had been hiding his aura as a human in the human's world is… the same person that gave birth to him.

The father of all angels… the god of angel of life and death… it has been Sumi Keiichi all this time.

"How… why..." Misaki was completely loss at word. "Since when…?"

"Since the first time you were given the mission to kill Usami Akihiko." He replied way too calm.

"…Why?" Misaki asked. A blush spread in his cheeks, knowing that The God fully knows of his failure on the mission.

"Just because…" Sumi closed his eyes. "Maybe I am not a perfect father. I spoiled you too much. I gave you more attention than necessary. I should have been thinking of the other angels too, so nothing of this will happen."

Misaki tilted his head in confusion, but Sumi still kept his sad expression and smiled at him. Misaki remember not too long after that, why was he in the world of angels.

"The punishment…" Misaki said softly. "Are you—Father going to kill me?"

"Not now," Sumi said again. "… and I wish I can have another choice than killing you, Misaki…"

Misaki gave him a smile. It wasn't a sad smile, but Sumi couldn't help but to be hurt when he saw that smile. "It's okay, Father… I am the one who made this choice," Misaki replied. "I know it well that I was supposed to kill him… I tell myself not to be close to humans again, yet I fell in love with him… and I purposefully chose to break the bond to save his life… even though I must kill Pluto-senpai…"

Sumi looked at him still, and Misaki was given no choice in his fear but to continue.

"I know I am full of sins. I can't bring myself to kill human, yet I kill my own family… I must be punished."

"No," Sumi said again with an angry look. "Pluto has gone too far too. And that wasn't the reason why did you choose to kill him."

Misaki looked at Sumi confusedly. "…What? But I—"

"Yes, you killed Pluto because you want to save your prey Usami Akihiko, but… the fate said something different," Sumi explained. "You don't remember Misaki, but Fate remembers it. Time remembers it. I remember it. Even Takahiro remembers it."

"Nii-chan what?" Misaki gasped in shock. There was something he never knows. Something… he couldn't remember. And Takahiro knows them.

There was something he… forgot?

"You love him," Sumi said softly. "That's why, you—a pure hearted angel of death who never kills anyone before—choose to kill your own family and yourself in order to save him. You are just too… innocent. But that's not the only reason why did you save Usami Akihiko."

Aumi planted his hand in the confused Misaki's forehead. "And before you die… I want you to remember it, so there will be no regret."

Misaki gasped when Sumi mumbled a mantra and Misaki felt his mind became more and more unfocused. He felt sleepy and before he fell asleep Sumi caught him and positioned him in his lap. Sumi looked at the brunette lovingly, as any father looks at his children.

"Misaki… Please remember… The real reason why did you save him…" Sumi said with a sad tone. "Something the fate has decided. Something even your heart doesn't remember, but your body remembers and moved to save him… At least remember it before you die…"

"…your bond… with him…"

Sing… and hear… my love for you…

In the sky, in the heaven or the world below…

Will it be able to reach you?

…or are you going to forget about me and leave me under the crying sky?

Chapter 11. Promise

***FlashBack***500 hundred years ago***

"The egg will hatch!"

All of the angels of life and death were running toward the aula, and Takahiro was confused. He didn't know anything, since he forgot to check his agenda and woke up late again today. He sighed a little—even though he is an angel of life from that day, he is very clumsy… Takahiro wondered how could he pass the exam of becoming an angel of life?"

He asked one of the running angel (Damn, she was so fast! I couldn't catch up with her!) "H-hey, Miss! What's happening here? Why everyone is running to the aula?"

"You don't know?" The running female angel yelled back. "Father gave us another egg! He is going to born now!"

Takahiro's heart thumped. An egg. And an angel is going to born. He quickly fast up his speed and ran. Today, another bond will be appeared. Another family will show up. Takahiro could feel his lips grinning. He was so excited.

They all are gathering in the aula. The place was very white and beautiful. The place has many doors that connect all the halls which made the angels gathered around the short stairs which lead to the golden table in the middle. Almost like Takahiro, many angels look excited and happy. Takahiro managed himself to get in the front and got a better view (even though there were another angels who pissed because they want to see in better view too). He looked up and saw a beautiful angel brought something in the white cloth.

Takahiro's eyes beaming in happiness. An egg. A big white egg.

She placed the egg on the table, and the angels were waiting. The female angel smiled to all of them.

"Today, another family will be born," She said softly. "Another bond will be born. May God bless us and this child…"

She smiled and gave a little touch and the egg's white skin, and then planted a kiss on the egg. The angels gave little gasps when the skin cracked. Takahiro was so excited.

The egg cracked louder this time as the female angel took a step back. The sound was echoing in the aula and all of the angels were so silent—too silent for anticipating the angel that will be born. And when the egg had broken, everyone gave a relief and amazed gasp.

The little angel is very beautiful. He got a little messed brown hair and a white, thin skin. The angels almost couldn't tell that the angel was a boy, if they didn't see his whole thin body. There was a pair of little white wings in the back of his body. And when the little boy opened his eyes, everyone could see those emerald green eyes sparkling in confusion.

Takahiro was also one of those angels who were amazed with this beautiful creature in front of him.

"Angelo."

Takahiro gave a startled tone as his angelic's name was called. Few pairs of eyes were swift to him, and few still stared at the little angel in the middle. Takahiro looked up, realizing that the one who called his name was the female angel that brought the egg.

"You will be in charge of this child," She smiled and gave a little caress to the little angel that quickly stared at the woman confusedly. "You will raise him, name him, and he will be your partner in your mission in the earth."

Takahiro was too stunned to be happy. He always wanted a company and he got a cute one! He could raise him and name him. Takahiro couldn't be happier when he realized some of the angels grunted in envy and disappointment.

Takahiro stepped forward and the female angel guided the little one to give the boy to Takahiro. The little brunette stared at Takahiro and smiled. Takahiro couldn't stop thinking of oh-he-is-sooooooooooo-cute.

"Hello, you chibi-chan," Takahiro smiled as he patted the little green eyed angel in front of him. "I will be your big brother from now on. Can you call me 'Nii-chan'?"

"…Nii-chan…" the boy responded clumsily.

Awwwwwww he is sooo cuuute…

Almost all of the angels voiced that aloud. Almost.

"Have you already decided what his name will be?" The female angel asked Takahiro.

"Yeah," Takahiro said with a brightened smile. "He will be named Rufaro. It means 'happiness'." Takahiro turned to the boy. "Yes, your name will be Rufaro."

The little boy stared at Takahiro, then he smiled. "My name is… Rufaro…"

"That is a good name indeed," The woman chuckled. "Then, his human name?"

"He will be my brother, so… it should be Japanese… Takahashi…" Takahiro tilted his head a little then he smiled. "Takahashi… Misaki… that will do."

Misaki smiled at Takahiro. "My names are Rufaro… and Misaki."

Takahiro hugged the boy. "Yes. We will be brothers from now on, Misaki."

"I will protect you, Misaki."

"Would you prefer to be called Rufaro, or Misaki?"

"In this place, shouldn't it be my angelic name?"

"Yeah, but what would you prefer to be called?"

Misaki tilted his head a little. "I like the sound of Rufaro better. Misaki sounds like a girl's name."

Takahiro laughed. "Well then…"

The little Rufaro—or Misaki stared at Takahiro's bedroom—that soon will be his too. Angels bedroom looks funny, he thought. It was only like a flying blanket, but the angels would be able to sleep and rest on that. Misaki turned his head to Takahiro and saw at his wings.

Pure, white, big, and beautiful. Misaki was amazed at Takahiro's wings that's nothing like his tiny ones. He touched Takahiro's wings without he realized it. Takahiro confusedly turned to Misaki.

"What is it, Rufaro?"

"When will my wings become like this?" Misaki asked.

Takahiro looked a little confused. "And whatever do you mean by that?"

Misaki furrowed his eyebrows. "When I was born, I saw many angels. There are black winged and white winged angels. They really are big… and beautiful, not like mine."

Takahiro chuckled. "Your wings will grow as big as mine someday. I promise."

Misaki's face brightened. "Really?"

The bigger man smiled. "Of course! You will have a pair of big, beautiful wings too someday. Which one do you want? White or Black?"

Misaki tilted his head. "Black seems cool, but your wings is more beautiful Nii-chan," The little angel then kissed the white wings of the angel of life, that made the angel startled. "They seem so pure… and innocent. Just… simply beautiful."

Takahiro's eyes widened, but then he gave the boy a very warm smile. "I am an angel of life, that's why my wings are white. Angel of life's job is to give new lives to the human world."

"And the black winged angels are…?"

"They are angels of death. The reapers that take humans soul before they become demons," Takahiro explained. "Normally, humans will die when their lifetime is run out. But sometimes, there are humans that won't die even though their times are up. And before they become demons, the angels of death should kill them and take their souls."

"Kill…" Takahiro could hear the boy's trembling voice. "It sounds… scary."

Takahiro sighed, but still gave the little angel a weak smile. "…yeah."

Silence occurred.

"Nii-chan… I don't want to become a reaper," Misaki whispered. "I want to be like you. I want to give new lives for humans too. I don't want to… kill anyone."

Takahiro felt his heart warm in happiness. He could imagine his innocent little brother with a pair of beautiful pure, white wings on his back. It fits the boy really well.

"It will fit you really well, Misaki." Takahiro said happily and hugged his brother.

"Nii-chan! It's Rufaro!" Misaki protested. He gave a little pout on his face. Takahiro laughed.

"Ahahaha, sorry Rufaro," Takahiro patted the shorter angel while the boy was still pouting. "It's just, you really are cute like a girl. I just found Misaki's name fits you more."

"Nii-chan!"

"Ahahaha! Sorry!"

"A mission?" Takahiro repeated for five times.

"Yes," Pluto replied for a five time with an annoyed tone. You and me, go to England, given a mission from Father."

It was still early morning in the angels world when Pluto knocked at Takahiro's room and told Takahiro about his first mission. Takahiro felt a little excited, it was his first mission as an angel of life after all. But…

"Why are YOU my partner?" Even though Takahiro didn't mean to hurt Pluto's feelings at all, but the angel of death got annoyed even more by his innocent question. "I… I mean, shouldn't Misaki be my partner?"

"Misaki? Aaaa, is it the angel that was just born yesterday?" Pluto sounded not very interested. "Are you an idiot? He is still too young for a mission. You two will be partners after he has become an angel of life… or better yet, an angel of death."

Takahiro furrowed his eyebrows on that, but Pluto didn't care.

"Then, should I leave Misaki here?" Takahiro sounded a little disappointed. "But…"

Pluto sighed. "You can bring him along. He can learn many things about that world."

Takahiro's eyes beamed in happiness. "Really? Aww, thank you so much Pluto!"

Pluto avoided Takahiro's hug in a very right time. "Don't get me wrong! I'm doing it so he could see how filthy the human's world is! I want to make him a reaper than being a stupid angel like you!" Pluto yelled angrily. "I don't understand Father's choice, to make you as his charge… If it's me, I will definitely make him hate those filthy humans!"

"Pluto…" Takahiro sadly looked at the black winged reaper, but Pluto ignored him and left his room quickly. Takahiro felt his heart hurt. He didn't really know why, but he really love human's world. Even though there are evil humans and war, but somehow Takahiro could see there are people with kind heart and love too. He never knew why, he just did know.

Takahiro's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the door of his room opened.

"…Nii-chan…"

Takahiro turned around and saw a fragile, weak, afraid little angel behind the door.

"…Mi… saki…"

Once again, the boy pouted at his big brother. "Nii-chan! I told you, it's Rufaro!"

Takahiro was stunned for a little, but then he couldn't help but to laugh. That really killed the mood. "I am sorry… I kind of forget!"

"…Gee…" Misaki sighed, but then the little angel gave Takahiro a sad, scared expression. Takahiro realized that, and he hugged the boy.

"What is it, Mi—Rufaro?"

"…" Misaki sinked his head in Takahiro's embrace and hugged him back hard. "I am scared of… that black winged angel just now."

Takahiro expected it already. "Don't worry about Pluto, he is not an evil angel. There is no evil angel," Takahiro said, even though he was not entirely sure about what he just said. "… Rufaro, did you hear everything he told me?"

Misaki nodded. Takahiro sighed.

"I intended to bring you along with me to the human world, but if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"No, I want to go with you." Misaki said quickly. "I want to know about it! The human world… I really want to know about it! Is it really that bad, or… is it worth to be loved…?"

Takahiro was a bit surprised on that. "Misaki…"

Misaki glared at Takahiro about the name, but he ignored it this time. "Nii-chan… is it true about what that Pluto just said? Do you love human's world?"

Takahiro was confused, but he nodded anyway.

"Why?"

"I don't know," Takahiro replied, honestly and softly. "Even though there are people with evil hearts… even though people hurt God's creation… or even though there are wars, and they are killing each other… but God made balance in the earth." At this point, Takahiro smiled. "There are still kind and loving people, and people who are not going to give up, even in that kind of conditions… I… I want to protect those feelings. I don't want they lose their light in the darkness… so…"

Takahiro stopped when he realized Misaki was looking so confused. Takahiro laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, I think you still don't understand… Maybe it will be better if you just stay here while I am on my mission…"

Misaki shook his head.

"Maybe I am not fully understand… but I understand your feelings of wanting to protect what you love. I also… want to protect you, because I love you Nii-chan." Misaki stared at Takahiro with a serious look.

Takahiro looked like he wanted to cry because of happiness.

"Misaaaaaaaaaaaaaakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…"

"Hey! I told you, it's Rufaro!"

England

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Pluto sighed in an annoyed tone at both of idiotic brothers near him. "Don't be so stupid! All those filthy—I mean people are looking at us! Don't act like you never on plane before!"

"But I really have never on a plane before!" Both of the angelic brothers replied in the same time, with the same happy tone that made the reaper between them lost his patience even more.

"Nii-chan! It's tower of London there right?"

"Aaaah! You are right! It indeed is the tower of London! So hiiigh!"

"CAN BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP ALREADY? WE'VE BEEN WATCHED HEREEEEEEEEE!"

Pluto had never been very impatience, angry, and annoyed before. He had been holding it back, and would burst if there was one tiny mistake disturbed him. He nearly killed 5 innocent people (which he doesn't care at all) if he wasn't stopped by Takahiro on time. However, his mood got better when the three-angels-on-mission were arrived in one of the hotel. He never likes human's world, but he at least still like their big, comfortable bed. After reserved a VIP room, he bumped himself to bed and glared both to Misaki and Takahiro with DON'T-DISTURB-ME-OR-YOU-WILL-DIE look. And right after he slipped to a deep slumber, Misaki sighed in relief.

"Ne, Pluto-sempai is scary, right Nii-chan?"

"Yeah," Takahiro couldn't believe how relieved he got too. He turned to Misaki and squeezed Misaki's hand hard. "Somehow… I got a bad feeling about this mission."

"Hey, Nii-chan…" Misaki tugged a little of Takahiro's shirt to get his distraction. "Why does Pluto-sempai hate this world so much?"

Takahiro furrowed and his expression became sour. He… didn't know anything about that too.

"I… don't know."

Misaki tilted his head in confusion, but Takahiro only patted him.

"Hey, Misaki, in this world, I can only call you by your human name," Takahiro said again (and Misaki glared at him in the same time). "You are not allowed to tell anyone your real name. If you introduce yourself to any other humans, give them your human name, Takahashi Misaki, okay?"

Misaki furrowed, but he nodded. "Why?"

"Because…" Takahiro stopped a little, hesitated. Misaki was too young to be told about something like that. Takahiro knew that. He probably wouldn't understand anything Takahiro told him. But still Takahiro told the little angel.

"… It's your real you. It's your identity. It's everything about you that could only be known by your family, and… the one you love the most."

As Takahiro expected, Misaki looked confused.

"But, Nii-chan is the one I love the most right? So…"

"Well, maybe true," Takahiro smiled at Misaki's words. "But what I mean by the one you love the most… has a different kind of love. It's like… the one you really want to be with forever, and will be your mate…" Takahiro lost to his own words and blushed. He himself didn't understand about anything like this. He had never fallen in love before!

Misaki looked even more confused. Takahiro gave up.

"…Forget it, you will understand when you got bigger."

"Ahhh! Meanie!"

Takahiro laughed. "Misaki, I must schedule my time for my mission with Pluto now, why don't you play outside?"

Somehow, this made Misaki grinned really big. "I can play outside?"

"Yeah, but don't get too far okay?" Takahiro hugged his brother. "Just play around the park or the pool in the hotel."

Takahiro wanted to tell Misaki that angels should not let humans see their wings except it was necessary, but then he remembered that Misaki was still a young angel. That way, humans won't be able to see Misaki's wings except Misaki had become an angel of life or death. Seeing this information didn't need to be told, Takahiro remained silent about it and gave Misaki a little wink.

Misaki beamed an "Okay!" and rushed out quickly. Takahiro laughed again. Children always have more curiosity about anything new and they never know. The boy probably would get excited and fascinated with this world, Takahiro thought.

Or… would he see the dark side of this world, and became fear of it?

My name is Takahashi Misaki in this world, huh… Well, it's not that bad, except the Misaki part that sounded like a girl…

Misaki walked and see many blondes he had never seen before. 'So, these are humans…', he thought to himself. He could see some of the girls giggled at him and asked if they could take a photo of him.

Misaki grinned sheepishly. He didn't understand how the hell he could understand the language those girls were using, but somehow, he understood everything they said, even though… he had no idea of what their language was.

They can't see my wings, Misaki realized. So humans can't see my true identity…

Somehow, this thought made Misaki thought back of Takahiro told him before.

It's your real you. It's your identity. It's everything about you that could only be known by your family, and… the one you love the most.

"Someone… who will know my real name…" Misaki whispered. "I wonder… what kind of person that will be my most loved one?"

Even though I think… I love Nii-chan the most right now…

Misaki didn't give much attention to his walk and he realized that he was in a little park. The little brunette was sure he was still in the hotel, but now he was lost. He cursed himself—how could he forget the way back to the rooms? He was too absorbed in his thought.

Forget it, right now, I must search for an exit—

"Who is there?"

Misaki yelped and stunned in his place. So, he wasn't alone? It should be a good thing, the boy sighed in relief. He could ask where the exit was…

…before he realized he was too surprised and were hiding himself with the bushes from the owner of the voice. Misaki, once again, cursed his stupidness.

"Why are you hiding? Are you a thief or something?" The owner of the voice is a boy—a child, Misaki was sure of it.

Misaki want to protest and he barely moved his lips to form a word when suddenly the bushes he was hiding in smacked by the hand that pulled the young angel hard to reveal himself.

"Got you!" Misaki blinked at the boy who pulled him out from his hiding place in surprise. At the same time, the tiny human boy seemed to be surprised of what he had found, and looked surprised as well.

The place seemed to be silent so suddenly, and Misaki could never explain the weird feelings of… adoration and amaze toward the human boy he first met. Suddenly—Misaki was trying to not to think about it—it was only the two of them in nowhere. They were so close, the boy had pulled him very hard and if Misaki leaned even one more inch… their lips would touch.

That was when Misaki realized that the tiny human is taller than him.

The human has a beautiful pair of violet eyes. His silver hair looked sparkled against the warm, light of the sun. And even though Misaki couldn't describe how, but somehow… Misaki just knew by looked at the boy's face that the boy had something deep—something dark and lonely—yet felt so sad within him. And it made Misaki hurt, weird enough.

Suddenly, Misaki had a very strong urge to hug and protect the boy.

"…angel…?"

Huh?

Misaki hoped he heard wrong. This boy… he could…?

"W… what are you talking about?"

"Are you an angel?" The tiny human whispered. "Those wings…"

Misaki was shocked. "You… you can see them?" Misaki flipped his little wings, and the boy was amazed. Misaki couldn't believe it. Humans aren't supposed to be able to see angel's wings… are they? "You can see my wings?"

The boy looked at him confusedly… and hopingly.

"Yeah," He answered. "Are you… an angel? What are you? What's your name?"

Misaki stared back at those violet eyes. There was something… Misaki couldn't describe it. But he knew. He could feel it. Sadness, loneliness, despair, hatred…

But also hope.

"My name is—"

Rufaro.

"—Takahashi Misaki."

Suddenly, the boy grinnes smugly at the young angel—and Misaki was confused. He didn't like that smug smirk he was receiving.

"Your name… Not only it's so Japanese and unholy like an angel…" The boy answered Misaki's confusion. "It's also sounded like a girl's name."

Misaki blushed. Hard. A complete blend of anger and embarrassment flew slowly to his body.

"Sh… SHUT UP!" Misaki yelled in embarrassment, and the little human laughed at him.

"You are kind of cute," he grinned smugly.

Takahiro looked at the clock near the place he sat. He sighed. Did Misaki play too long and forgot that he must come back. Takahiro cursed himself. He was too careless to be a brother. He became worried. What if anything happened to Misaki?

That is not the only thing I am worried about too… Takahiro peeked the sleeping reaper behind him with uneasy feeling.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't understand why a high ranked angel reaper like Pluto accompanying a mission of angel of life… I know Pluto hate humans so much, but why is he the one who will become my partner for giving new lives for humans?

"I really got a bad feeling about this…" Takahiro groaned desperately to his self, and looked at the clock again. "Misaki… where did you go?"

"It's Ravi, RA-VI."

"Raa… bbi…"

"RAAAA… VEEEE…."

"RAAAA… BIIIII…"

"Gee, your pronunciation sucks, you can't even say my name properly," The boy name Ravi smirked, and Misaki glared at him with tears of anger leaked out from his eyes. "Are all angels this stupid?"

"Shut up! It's your fault your name is hard to say!" Misaki yelled at the boy, and the boy chuckled. "It's decided! I will just call you Rabbit! It's much easier to say and remember!"

Ravi laughed. "Rabbit? Aren't you just running away? Calling me 'Rabbit' won't make you win. You still have a girly name and can't call my name, Mi. Sa. Ki."

Misaki was too annoyed with all of the human boy just said to him. Did the poor angel just think that he wanted to protect this arrogant child? He took his words back then!

"You stupid Rabbit! Don't call me like that, jerk!"

"Aww, so much for being an angel, you cursed me. What an impolite angel."

Misaki blushed. "B-but you started it!"

"Ahh I didn't hear anything…" Ravi sang and smirked when he knew he was succeeded in making the little angel annoyed. "Well, I must go back to my room now, it's already late."

Misaki gulped at the last sentence. The sun was setting, he realized. Takahiro must be worried.

"God, I must go back now, too!" Misaki dashed, but a hand held his wrist and Misaki stumbled back at the lavender eyed boy. Misaki looked a little annoyed, but he could feel those lonely feelings again on the boy's eyes.

"W… what?" Misaki said with a little harsh tone, but the boy didn't look startled even a bit.

"Will we… meet again?"

At this, Misaki was the one who startled. Ravi tightened his hold on Misaki.

"Will we…? Can we…?"

When Misaki heard a desperate tone on Ravi's voice, he quicklu replied even without himself realized it.

"Of course."

It was just as expected, Misaki thought.

Misaki managed to escape from the little park and go back to his room, and as expected, Takahiro was worried like hell, even though Pluto remained calm and uncaring. Misaki explained how he got lost and all, but Takahiro's worry looked like was not going to cease any time soon. Misaki sighed. It was the first thing about Takahiro he found he doesn't like it.

Takahiro is way too overprotective.

Later (or Misaki should call it 'finally'), Takahiro calmed down. "So… how's the hotel? Got any friend?"

Misaki opened his mouth only to shut it again fast. Takahiro caught this act.

"Misaki?"

"… I think I get one," Misaki said unsurely. He didn't think 'friend' is a right word for Ravi, but he guessed that wasn't matter.

"Really?" Takahiro looked happy now. At this point, he relieved that he let Misaki went playing. Misaki got a friend after all. He started to think that maybe Misaki will like this world as much as he does.

"Careful though," An unexpected voice came out from the black winged angel behind them and both of the angel brothers turned their head. Pluto grinned smugly, though he didn't stare back at the brothers. "Humans are not like angels. They are more of envy and hatred. Some even are worse than demons. Many can't be trusted."

"Many, but not everyone," Takahiro pressured, glaring at his superior. "There are people you can still believe—"

"Whatever, I am going to bed. The mission started in a week. Be prepared Angelo."

Takahiro felt bad, but he found he didn't like hearing his real name called by Pluto.

Pluto had his way to the bed and went to sleep. Misaki and Takahiro still remained silent for a while, making sure that Pluto really was asleep. After few minutes, Takahiro asked Misaki again.

"So… what is your first friend look like?"

Takahiro didn't know why Misaki blushed, and neither Misaki know. Both of them could only wonder why those soft red painted at the young angel's cheeks. Takahiro smirked when he realized something.

"Aaah, is it a girl?"

"N-no," Misaki replied quickly. "It's a boy. His name is Ra-bbeeee."

Takahiro looked at Misaki with a confused face. "Ra bee?"

"No! I mean, Raaaaaa-biiiiiiiiiii… It's hard to say!" Misaki said desperately, annoyed that he was unable to say his first friend name correctly. Takahiro looked even more confused, but then he laughed. Hard. Misaki thought his brother had gone crazy.

"Do you mean, Ravi?"

Misaki's eyes sparkled. "YES! RABI! Do you know him, Nii-chan?"

Takahiro smiled. "No, but I think he is the son the owner of this hotel. His full name must be Ravi Roosefield."

Misaki gawked. No wonder there was such arrogance and authority aura from the silvered hair boy. But he couldn't stop thinking of those weird feelings he felt when he was with Ravi. Those… sad feelings. It felt like the boy was very lonely.

Misaki didn't know why. He wanted to meet the boy again.

"I… told him the number of the room we stayed," Misaki said with his hopeful eyes locked on his brother's. "Is it… okay?"

Takahiro smiled. "Pluto will be angry, but I think we can manage that somehow."

Misaki felt happiness growing in his heart and glomped his brother wholeheartedly, while Takahiro was surprised and didn't expect the glomp from the little angel at all.

"Thank you Nii-chan. I love you."

Takahiro smiled and hugged his brother back. "I love you too."

Misaki looked at the clock. It was only eight AM, there's no way Ravi would come this early. But maybe five minutes later? Misaki then looked at the door, and gulped. When he felt there was a sound he quickly had his head turned to the door—only to disappointed himself that there was no one who was gonna knock on the door. But it was still eight… oh, plus two minutes now. Misaki frowned, but he knew he still had a long time. He had just need to wait, right?

Misaki then realized how foolish of him to wait stupidly. He had been waiting about two hours, like an idiot. Why did he believe that Ravi will come? There was a chance that maybe he didn't come at all and forgot about him. He is such an arrogant child after all. But most annoyed by himself, Misaki couldn't get the answer why he really wanted the boy to come and disappointed by his absence.

"Misaki," Takahiro knew Misaki didn't ignore him because he called 'Misaki' instead of 'Rufaro'. Misaki knew it that in the human world, angels must use their human names. Takahiro already told him. And Takahiro also knew it well the reason why Misaki kept looking at the clock and the door with a hopeless expression. The boy just got his first friend, who wouldn't get excited to meet their friends again? And besides, it is Misaki after all. Takahiro was certain Misaki was waiting for Ravi. But Misaki still has needs to be fulfilled. "You've been in front of the door about two hours. You must eat your breakfast and brush your teeth too."

Misaki didn't reply and his face was still pouting, but he moved and going to the bathroom anyway, picking up a toothpaste and was in the middle of toothbrushing when the door was knocked.

Takahiro gawked in surprise when the door of the bathroom opened suddenly rather harshly and the still brushing his teeth Misaki rushed out to the main door. Takahiro shook his head, but he smiled for himself.

Misaki roughly opened the door and stupidly stumbled when he felt two cold hands got a grip on him, preventing him from fell. These cold hands sent shiver and chills to Misaki's body. He knew whose these hands belong too.

"Gee, aren't you mess up. You haven't even taken a bath, have you?" Ravi's smug voice sounded offending and it did annoy Misaki, but Misaki's growing-jumping happiness was far greater than that.

"You… come," Misaki didn't realize his toothbrush fell from his mouth. His face still looked shocked even his heart had been beaming with happiness.

Ravi grinned. "Of course. What? Are you waiting for me too long? I'm sorry, princess."

Misaki was wondering, why he felt more embarrassed than angry at the statement. He blushed and glared at the boy. "Don't call me by that! I'm not a girl!"

"Oh really?" Ravi laughed, but then he quickly stopped. Misaki was confused but then he realized his brother was behind him.

"Oh, excuse me," Takahiro smiled warmly and looked at the silver haired boy. "Are you Ravi? Misaki talked much about you—"

"Nii-chan!"

Ravi smiled politely. "Yeah, I am Ravi. And you are Misaki's brother, I suppose?"

Takahiro liked the boy already. "Yeah. We are Japanese, so our English are not that good. Forgive us if you hear our spelling wrong."

Misaki tilted his head. "So these humans talk English?"

Takahiro stomped Misaki's foot not hard enough, but Misaki realized Takahiro glared a panic glare to him and asked with no voice to Misaki to remember that he is a human in here, so please act like a human.

Misaki laughed awkwardly. There was no point of that, since Ravi had already known of his identity—

Misaki quickly turned pale when he realized that Ravi could be the one who messed up and told Takahiro that he knew of the brothers identities. But it looks like Ravi was smarter than that and purposefully kept it on secret. Misaki huffed in relief on that thought.

"Are you coming here alone?" Takahiro asked gently, as any mother would worry for their children when the children played without anyone as a keeper.

Ravi shook his head. "I'm coming with one of my maid. Meena."

"Yes, young master."

Both of Takahiro and Misaki was shocked and started to think how the hell haven't they see the girl before—the girl had been standing with Ravi for some quite time. And another silent shock added as both of the angels were amazed with her charm—she is very beautiful.

Takahiro felt his cheeks hot and he wondered why. His heart beat faster, but it wasn't unpleasant, It's warm and… nice…

One thing for sure, Takahiro realized in a weird way that he really likes the way the maid smiled at him.

"I humbly apologize for the late introduction", Meena said—even her voice sounds so sweet—softly. "Young master Ravi said he wanted to meet his friend, I am coming to accompany him. My name is Meena." She bowed politely as a maid should be, and Takahiro was confused of what to do.

"N-No… it's okay…" Takahiro said again, blushing now. "I am Misaki's brother, nice to meet you."

Takahiro wondered if it is weird to be bluntly telling a maid your name.

"Oooookaaay, You guys wait here. I and Misaki will play in the park okay? Meena, you can pick me up later," And before both of the adult could say anything, Ravi already pulled Misaki's hand and before Misaki voiced any ptotest, they had already ran.

"What the hell are you doing?" Misaki yelled, a little furious of the sudden tug Ravi gave him. They are in the park where yesterday they had met. Ravi pulled Misaki here before Misaki ever realize it. The boy gave the angel a questioning look, as if like he couldn't believe Misaki didn't realize anything.

"Didn't you feel anything?"

Misaki blinked. "Huh? Whaddya mean?"

Ravi let a frustrated sigh out. "Gods. You really are dense aren't you? Didn't you realize your brother's reaction with my maid?"

Misaki gave a confused look, and Ravi—aside his frustration—was thinking that maybe the little angel really is as innocent and dumb as he looks.

"Your brother had a thing with Meena, I know it," Ravi grinned smugly, though he was still annoyed of the fact Misaki didn't realize it before. But Misaki still didn't look convinced.

"What thing?" Misaki asked again. Bluntly and innocently. Ravi could not get any more shocked than this.

"He has a crush on Meena damn it!" Ravi yelled at the angel now, but Misaki still tilted his head.

"…crush? Like he's going to break…?"

Did he say he couldn't get any more shocked? Scratch that. Ravi felt he was going to smack the boy and knock some sense to his head.

"…Okay, do you not know of what love means then?"

Misaki fell silent at this, and his eyes widened. Ravi caught this sign and was glad that Misaki didn't say any more of 'What's that' shits, even though he was still unsatisfied with Misaki's reaction.

In the other way, Misaki actually didn't know what love is. He heard the definition, alright, and it seems very sacred and feels very special. But Misaki didn't understand it. He loves Takahiro. But he knew that the love Ravi was talking about is not the brotherly love he got for Takahiro. Takahiro had told him before about that too. And he never felt that kind of love.

But what I mean by the one you love the most… has a different kind of love. It's like… the one you really want to be with forever, and will be your mate…

"…love?" Misaki whispered. "Nii-chan wants to be with that girl forever?"

Ravi sighed. "Well… that is love, but I think they haven't gone that far. Maybe they were only attracted at first. But usually something will lead after that, that's when the love will grow." The silvered haired boy realized it not too long after of how awkward of him to explain things like that to the angel in front of him.

Misaki looked a little convinced now. "Atrracted… huh…"

"And actually, love is not just like that," Suddenly Ravi gave Misaki a sly smirk. Somehow, he got a wicked idea. "You not only want to be with that person together. You also want to keep close and can't stop thinking about that person." Ravi took a step forward, which made Misaki got an uneasy feeling and took a step backward.

"Can't stop thinking of that person? Now that's weird…" Misaki laughed awkwardly.

Ravi still smirked. "And also, you will feel hot whenever you are close to him, you feel excited and your heart beat faster," The human boy then whispered to Misaki's ear with a low, sensual tone that made Misaki shivered and blushed. "… In love, there is also lust and passion of wanting each other."

"Wanting…?" Misaki looked confused again. "But people are not objects that we can't say that we want them or not…"

"Idiot," Ravi said, annoyed. "You are an angel, yet you didn't know anything about this. If you can't seem to understand, why don't we try the act instead?"

Misaki yelped when suddenly Ravi pinned him to the grass and blushed.

"Wha… WHAT the hell are you doing! Release me!" Misaki yelled in embarrassment. Just what the hell was Ravi thinking? There were only two of them in park, but who knows someone may walked in…

"You should not feel nothing."

"Huh?" The angel's voice was a clear confusion.

"If you don't love me, you won't feel anything right now," Ravi said again, and his expression became more serious, as Misaki got blushed even harder. "So, what do you feel?"

It's embarrassing and weird, Misaki thought, and will never voice that aloud. He felt his body became hotter and blushed harder when Ravi's body touched his. "Nothing."

Ravi's eyes widened. "Are you sure? Your face is red, you know," Ravi said with a very smug smirk. Misaki surely didn't like that smirk.

"YES! JUST GET UP WILL YOU? YOU'RE HEAVY!"

Ravi laughed.

Not too far, Pluto was above Misaki and Rufaro, watching them without being noticed by the little boys. Misaki seemed to have fun as a human. But…

"But, to be able to understand about what is an angel, I must crush your happiness," Pluto said with a wicked smile in his face. He looked at the silver haired human boy. "Rufaro… I shall teach you, what pain, suffer and lose mean."
