This is my first fanfic about Ryoma and Sakuno. Well it took me some time before I finished it because school really ate most of my time and so I had no free time to write.

By the way, this is also my first mulit-chapter fanfic. It's a miracle that I've ended writing a multi-chapter story. LOL

Enjoy! Your reviews would be much appreciated.

You're My Guardian Angel – Chapter 1. Fallen Angel

An angel is an emissary of God and our guardian to be called. They are the ones who protect us from evil in the name of God. God also send them to those who are truly in need.

"Ochibi!" A red-haired angel glomps on a blue-tinted hair angel. "God wants to talk to you."

The blue-tinted hair angel just sighed. I think this is my punishment. He thought inwardly.

The angel named Ryoma flew his way to a very beautiful garden with abundant flowers, trees, and animals. The atmosphere was indeed tranquil as the soft breeze gently blows. Ryoma walked towards the fountain and sat on the marble structure. He looked at the clear water that reflected his face. He forced a smile. But it's not a happy smile, it's a sad one. Ryoma did not know why, but he seems so down today. "I don't think it's because of God's punishment…"

"Ryoma," a deep but gentle voice called the angel's name. It was God who was calling him.

The angel stood up from where he was sitting. He looked up at the sky where the sun is shining brightly. Ryoma felt that something from the sky would fall.

"Ryoma," called the voice once again. "Tezuka have told me everything about what you did in the Garden ofRoses."

Ryoma's ears twitched. I'll be punished.

"But I'm not angry. I'll just make you do something."

"Make me do something?" echoed the angel.

"To be able to repent what you've done, you'll be tasked to complete a mission on Earth," He paused and continued. "And if you'll be able to complete this, there's a reward waiting for you. I'll grant the wish you truly desire."

Ryoma attempted to open his mouth to protest against the idea, but suddenly, with a wink of an eye, the clouds beneath his feet, tore apart and the angel fell into it.

"Aaahhh!" Ryoma's vocal chords would have come out because of the scream he made.

A loud thud was heard and the angel landed on the ground, butt first. "Ouch, ouch! That hurts!" he groaned while he rubs his butt. "Where the heck did I landed?" the angel grumbled as he scans the vicinity. The room he was in was big with a little furniture inside. "It looks like a traditional bedroom." The sliding door was open. Outside was a lush garden filled with colorful flowers and butterflies dancing above them. Ryoma toddled to the beautiful scenery and there he saw a girl with chestnut-colored hair braided into two low pigtails. She was dressed in a white kimono with sakura patterns. The angel stood there, mesmerized with the plain beauty of the girl.

"E-Excuse me…"

Ryoma was snapped back from his daydream.

"W-Who are you? H-How did you get here?"

The angel was surprised. The girl can see him? No way.

"You can see me?" he asked, flat-toned.

"Of course I can see you… huh? Wings? Halo? Are you a cosplayer?" the girl asked innocently.

Ryoma squinted his eyes. "I'm not a cosplayer." He answered with annoyance.

"But you're wearing wings and a halo. Of course you're into cosplaying." she insisted.

Ryoma managed to keep his cool down. "Well that's because I'm an angel."

The girl blinked her eyes. "An angel? For real?"

Letting out a deep sigh, Ryoma reached out his hand. "Here. You'll believe I'm an angel once you touched me. "

The girl looked at the angel. The seriousness contained in his amber eyes told her that he's telling the truth. Without a second to waste, the girl grabbed his hand. But to her surprise, her hand just went through his. "Y-You really are an angel!"

"At last." Ryoma stared at the girl from head to toe. "Oi, what's your name?" he asked.

"Sakuno. Sakuno Ryuzaki." she replied meekly. "What's yours?"

"Sakuno, huh? Well you can call me Ryoma."

"R-Ryoma?" asked Sakuno in a shivered tone.

"What's the matter?"

"Huh? Oh nothing, don't mind me." Sakuno forced to smile. Now that I think about it, he looked a lot like him.

Ryoma just shrugged and went to the little pond under the sakura tree. He gazed at his reflected image. "What should I do? I don't have any idea why God sent me here."

"Ryoma-kun." called Sakuno.

The angel who was deep in his thoughts just replied a simple "hn".

"Why are you here on Earth? Angels should be in Heaven, right?"

Ryoma had his eyes on Sakuno for a moment and then averted them to look at the pond. "I don't know either."

The gentle wind gradually blows. Sakuno looked at the gloomy angel with worried eyes. He does not know? She slowly started to pace towards Ryoma to comfort him but something tripped her and it made her lose balance. This is bad. I can't regain my balance. I'm going to fall.

"Man, I didn't know you're such a klutz."

Hands caught her falling body. She opened her eyes and saw Ryoma, with physical body, holding her in his arms. Her heart started to skip and her face was tinted with crimson.

"R-Ryoma-kun…"

Ryoma put her down gently.

"You've regained a physical body. How's that?" asked Sakuno out of curiosity and amazement.

"Well I can't have t for long. It's just for emergency uses." he answered plainly.

"Wow that's so amazing!" Sakuno's eyes were shining. "An angel's abilities seem to be very interesting."

A small smile was painted on Ryoma's face that has been unnoticed to Sakuno. He then had his head up looking at the clear, blue sky. "Why did you send me here?"
