26 Chapter 1
28 Staring up at the sky Yuina sighed. It was a warm spring evening and the
29 darkening sky above already glittered with stars. All around, the city lights
30 were coming on and the dull roar of traffic and humanity seemed to be more
31 muted. Yuina noticed none of this. Lost in her own world, she slowly trudged
32 home. She was not looking forward to a night of sitting in her room, alone.
33 Listening to her aunt getting ready to go out, smiling and nodding to whatever
34 she said. Not wanting to get in the way.
36 She always felt like she was in the way. Soon after her mother died, her father
37 had asked his sister to look after his daughter until she graduated from high
38 school. Yuina had always felt like she was in the way. Always felt that she was
39 causing people problems just by her very existence. Over time, trying to be
40 perfect and un-obtrusive had become part of her nature. She went through the
41 motions of life in a shell. She had cut herself off so much from life, she no
42 longer even sang.
44 Yuina used to love singing, and she sang very well indeed. Being able to play
45 the piano at an early age, Yuina had developed a strong music talent. It had
46 all shattered during middle school. Even though her talent was recognized
47 during a try out for the school choir, someone else got the lead role and
48 Yuina's confidence has deserted her.
50 Walking through a deserted playground Yuina saw a swing and went and sat on it.
51 Pushing herself, she gently rocked back and forth, staring up at the sky.
53 Little bird, why don't you sing for me?
55 There was a slight breeze blowing, and through it Yuina heard the whispered
56 words. Frowning she looked around, trying to find the speaker.
58 Sing. Please sing for me. Sing so I can be with you!
60 Shaking her head Yuina muttered to herself "I'm hearing things."
62 There was a soft laughter.
64 Sing for me.
66 "But I don't sing anymore!" Yuina replied, brushing away a lock of hair that
67 had escaped its bindings. Unsure and a little scared she whispered, "I can't
68 sing."
70 Oh but you can! I've heard you sing Yuina. Sing so beautifully that the heavens
71 have wept.
73 "You've heard me sing?" Again Yuina frowned. Standing up, she began pacing
74 around the playground, trying to find the source of the voice. The breeze had
75 picked up and leaves flew across the ground. Yuina's long hair waved out behind
76 her, slowly coming loose from the ribbon that that bound it up in a braid.
78 Yes I have. Through space and time have I heard you sing. Now please, sing for
79 me again.
81 Coming to a stop under a cherry tree Yuina gave up looking and shook her head.
82 She must be going mad to start hearing voices like this, but, then, she always
83 wondered whether she was mad. Nothing made sense in her life. No one wanted her
84 and she could never do things right. She must be mad!
86 Laughing to herself Yuina said, "Okay, I'll sing."
88 There was a soft sigh, whether it was the wind or the cherry tree above
89 creaking against the growing force of the wind Yuina did not care. Searching
90 for a song to sing, she noticed a cherry blossom floating past her. A song came
91 into her mind, and lifting her face up to the sky, she began to sing.
93 At first her voice sounded rusty, off key from dis-use; but slowly it grew in
94 strength and clarity, musical words spilling from her lips as she sang with
95 pure joy about the coming of spring. The renewal of life to a barren, dead
96 world. The wind had grown and now blew with enough strength to whip off the
97 cherry blossoms from the tree and send them streaming around the singing girl,
98 who noticed none of it, too lost in the power of the song. Deep inside, Yuina
99 began waking up. The words of the song struck her. "I'm singing! I'm singing
100 again!"
102 Yes you are Yuina! Thankyou! Thankyou!
104 There was a flash of blinding golden light and everything around her turned a
105 shade of gold too bright to behold. Then something fell from the sky. A
106 feather. Then another feather, and then more feathers until the sky swirled
107 with feathers and cherry blossoms. Gasping in delight Yuina stared up, arms
108 stretched out and slowly turning. Something large drifted down amongst the
109 feathers, and crying out Yuina watched as it fell to the ground near her feet.
111 "An angel!"
113 What else could it be? Female of form, long legs, slender hips, full bosom and
114 the longest pearly hair; the most arresting features were the huge white wings
115 attached to the figure. Although, this was a strange angel indeed for it wore
116 clothes quite alien to any depiction of an angel Yuina had ever seen before.
117 The wind died down and with it the wings disappeared. The ground around them
118 was covered with cherry blossoms and feathers; gulping, Yuina slowly approached
119 the inert figure, wondering what she was to do.
121 She was saved from having to make a choice when a groan came from the figure.
122 Slowly the female sat up, wincing and looking around with a slightly dazed
123 expression.
125 "Where..?" it whispered to itself, and at the same time Yuina haltingly asked
126 "Are… are you alright?"
128 The female looked at Yuina and then a slow smile formed on her lips. "Yuina!"
129 she whispered, the name breathed out with an almost sensual joy. Stepping back
130 Yuina replied, "Yes? How do you know me?" The female laughed and carefully
131 stood up, brushing off a cherry blossom from her arm. Stepping towards Yuina
132 she said "Thankyou for singing for me Yuina."
134 Blinking in shock, it slowly registered to Yuina that this female was the
135 source of the mysterious voice. "Who… who are you!"
137 "I have no name… although… you may call me by my hierarchy code… Seraph," the
138 female replied, again taking another step closer to Yuina. Before Yuina could
139 say anything Seraph said, "Yuina, I need your help. Will you make contract with
140 me?"
142 "Contract? What sort of contract?" Yuina felt confused. Dazed by the beauty of
143 Seraph and by these strange events. "This contract…" Seraph whispered, and
144 before Yuina could do anything, Seraph placed her hands gently onto Yuina's
145 shoulders, bent her head, and kissed her.
147 Yuina stood still, unable to believe that she was being kissed, and by a female
148 no less! She couldn't move though. Couldn't break the kiss or protest in any
149 way. She was finding this kiss far too pleasurable. Seraph's full lips were
150 soft against hers, caressing her lips. When Yuina felt Seraph's tongue gently
151 stroke her bottom lip, she shivered. Seraph broke the kiss then, and all Yuina
152 could do was stare up at her beautiful face.
154 Stroking Yuina's cheek, Seraph smiled and whispered "We are one now."
156 Chapter 2.
158 "Miss Akiho? It's time to wake up Miss Akiho," a voice called, and groaning
159 Akiho Kudou rolled over and opened her eyes. She saw her maid Okudzume staring
160 anxiously down at her. Groaning again Akiho said, "I'm going to sleep some
161 more, go away!" There was a silence. "But Miss Akiho, your father wants to see
162 you at breakfast."
164 Akiho sat up and cursed. "And I shouldn't keep dear daddy waiting should I?"
165 Swinging her legs off the bed, Akiho stretched and stared out the huge French
166 windows that lined one wall of her spacious bedroom. "Now Miss Akiho, you
167 shouldn't speak of your father like that," Okudzume admonished, laying out her
168 mistress' new school uniform. "I can talk about my father any way I please.
169 It's at least one grace I can allow myself!" Akiho said, bitterly hating how
170 much of her life was dictated by her father.
172 All her life Akiho had done what her father had told her to do. Never wanting
173 to dis-please him in any way. Never wanting to lose his good opinion of her.
174 Always wanting to be the best for him. She had even given up her best friend
175 for him.
177 Akiho could remember the event well enough. It was when she was in middle
178 school. Her father had learned of the trials for the lead role in the choir and
179 wanted her to get it. He had know that her best friend would be trying out for
180 the position and her told her on the day of the trial "Don't let Hatori's
181 daughter win Akiho. You are a Kudou so don't let me down!"
183 When her best friend had been chosen for the lead role Akiho had been consumed
184 with envy. She had complained, saying that she, a Kudou was better! Knowing
185 that the school would not go against someone as powerful as her father, she had
186 been given the lead role.
188 It had been an empty victory.
190 "Oh Yuina, I wonder whether you can ever forgive me?" Akiho whispered,
191 remembering how at the time she had lorded her victory over her best friend;
192 while deep inside hating Yuina. She had known very well that Yuina was far
193 better in singing than she could ever be.
194 From that point on they had grown apart, and soon after Akiho had been
195 transferred to a private boarding school for the rich. Making her way to the
196 bathroom ensuite, Akiho wondered whether she would ever be given the chance to
197 make up for her mistake.
199 An hour later, Akiho bowed to her father as she entered the breakfast room.
200 Sitting at the shokutaku, her knees bent beneath her, Akiho let a servant serve
201 her with an assortment of raw quail eggs, grilled fish, miso soup and rice.
203 "Good morning Akiho, I trust you slept well?" her father asked. "Hai otousan,"
204 she murmured, taking up her chopsticks and delicately picking up a piece of
205 fish and placing it in her mouth. It tasted delicious, but to Akiho it was
206 another reminder of how her father's riches could control all aspects of her
207 life.
209 "I'm glad. Today is your first day at this new high school and I hope it goes
210 well for you." Rustling the papers he was reading, he put them down and looked
211 at his daughter. She was a petite creature, resembling her dead mother in
212 appearance. A good child most times, he was slightly disappointed that she had
213 not been born a male. Unfortunately her mother had died giving birth to her,
214 and being too busy to bother with finding another wife, he had given her care
215 over to nannies and governesses.
216 If she continued to be a dutiful daughter, he would make sure she married well.
217 Daughters were good for sealing deals through marriage, if anything.
219 Gently patting his mouth with a napkin, he said, "I have a gift for you Akiho."
220 The door opened and a woman walked in. Looking at her, Akiho felt very
221 self-conscious, the woman was extremely beautiful. Long straight black hair
222 reaching just past her knees and a svelte, neatly rounded figure dressed in a
223 fashionable suit. She walked to her father's side and bowed, before turning and
224 bowing to Akiho. "This, is Sahaku. I've arranged that she becomes your new
225 homeroom teacher at the school. Her ultimate task is to make your life easier.
226 Please listen to whatever she says."
228 You really mean her job is to watch over me and make sure I don't do anything
229 that would harm the Kudou name Akiho thought, inwardly shaking with fury.
231 Her father then stood. Akiho immediately stood up and bowed. Pleased, he said
232 "This is your first day at school. Do well and don't disappoint me."
234 Half an hour later, her father's limo rolled to a stopped in front of her new
235 school. Waiting for the chauffer to open the door, Akiho stared at the
236 sprawling building and the groups of students making their way to classes. This
237 was the first time since middle school that she had been to a public school.
238 Although she wasn't exactly a snob, she felt she had nothing in common with
239 them. Being brought up in the lap of luxury, she had developed an appreciation
240 for the finer things in life. Even that didn't stop her from wishing she had
241 more friends, but most were intimidated by her father's wealth and standing.
243 That was one of the many reasons why she loved having Yuina as a best friend.
244 Yuina had looked past the wealth and fame and seen her for who she was; smiling
245 to herself she realized that Yuina probably never saw the wealth at all. Yuina
246 had been a good friend, and she Akiho, had gone and ruined it all.
248 "Life is a constant battle Miss Akiho, those who are ruthless succeed,"
249 murmured Sahaku, and with a start Akiho stared at the woman sitting next to her
250 in dismay. Sahaku smiled and answered her un-spoken question "Yes, I read
251 minds. More specifically, your mind."
253 "What? Why… how?" Akiho asked, confused. "We are connected Akiho. Connected in
254 a way that can only make the both of us stronger," Sahaku replied, sliding
255 closer to her, her skirt riding up her thighs. Reaching out with a slender
256 hand, Sahaku stroked Akiho's smooth cheek, black lacquered nails gently
257 scratching at each stroke. Held immobile by the rhythmic strokes and the
258 mesmerizing glitter in Sahaku's eyes, Akiho could only watch.
260 She didn't feel afraid. She felt almost resigned to what was to come. Sahaku,
261 for all her subservient exterior, was turning out to be as controlling as her
262 father. By the looks of it, she had her father wrapped around her fingers and
263 no amount of complaint from Akiho would sway her father from his faith in the
264 woman. This realization was enough to make Akiho silently scream inside.
266 "Yes connected Akiho. Together we will fulfill both our dreams," Sahaku
267 whispered. Capturing Akiho's face in her hands she knelt forward and nipped
268 Akiho's ear, before trailing soft kisses across her cheek, and then onto her
269 mouth. The kiss was a shock to the senses. Akiho could feel Sahaku inside of
270 her, inside her mind, learning everything there was to her. The invasion was
271 less disturbing in comparison to the surge of desire that coursed through her
272 at Sahaku's kiss!
274 She could hear Sahaku's laughter inside her head… no, not Sahaku. This
275 creature's name was Lucifer, a being from another world. Come to earth on a
276 mission, a mission that she was irrevocably involved in now no matter what.
277 "Submit to me Akiho! Become mine and I will give you everything you could
278 want!" The pressure, the desire to please, the pleasure of the kiss; it all
279 became too much for Akiho. With a groan, she gave way.
281 Chapter 3.
283 "Seraph no! You can't come to school with me!" Yuina protested for the fourth
284 time, stopping and glaring at the woman. Cocking her head to the side slightly
285 Seraph said "But we made a contract. Now I have to be with you all the time."
286 Yuina groaned, "How am I going to explain your presence to my teachers?" "What
287 about your friends?" Seraph asked, and Yuina winced. "I have none." Looking at
288 her Seraph smiled and said "Alright. Just remember, if you need me, you must
289 invoke my key." Nodding, Yuina quoted it, having learned it by heart thanks to
290 Seraph constantly mentioning it. "There, see? I know it. Now go away!" Blowing
291 Yuina a kiss and winking, Seraph vanished into thin air.
293 Gaping, Yuina made a mental note to tell Seraph that she couldn't just vanish
294 like that, especially in public! Smiling at a shocked bystander who had
295 witnessed the scene she said, "Oh she does that all the time! She's a magician
296 ehe!" before beating a hasty retreat.
298 Taking a huge breath of relief, Yuina made her way to her homeroom. Seraph
299 really had stuck to her side after that kiss, so much so that she had woken up
300 this morning to find Seraph sleeping beside her. That, and the fact that Seraph
301 was virtually naked had caused Yuina to almost have a seizure. Blushing at the
302 memory, Yuina found her seat at the far corner of the class and sat down.
304 Seraph had hit sore point earlier about her lack of friends. After losing her
305 best friend in middle school, Yuina had stayed away from her classmates. Kept
306 to herself and never participated in any of the school activities. She had
307 never minded the lack of friends; but now with Seraph in her life, everything
308 seemed so much more different. Suddenly, life seemed worth living again.
310 There was a stir, and looking up Yuina saw a beautiful woman enter the class.
311 "Hello. My name is Sahaku, I am to be your new homeroom teacher until Ms
312 Yamazaki, your old homeroom teacher is discharged from hospital," the woman
313 introduced herself. The class greeted her, and smiling she opened the door and
314 ushered a girl in. "Let me introduce you to a transfer student. This is Kudou
315 Akiho."
317 Staring at the new girl, something clicked and with a gasp Yuina cried
318 "Aki-chan?" Akiho glanced towards the girl sitting in the far corner, and felt
319 her world tilt. "Yuina!" Glancing between the two girls Sahaku softly asked,
320 "You know each other?" "Yes! This is Yui-chan. We were best friends at middle
321 school. May I sit next to her teacher?" Akiho asked, looking at Sahaku, her
322 eyes pleading. Nodding her ascent, Sahaku watched as Akiho tripped over to the
323 corner and sat at an empty desk, the two girls soon talking to each other. Eyes
324 narrowed, Sahaku called the class to order and began the lessons.
326 At lunch break Akiho and Yuina found a quiet spot for themselves in the school
327 gardens.
329 "Oh Yuina I never imagined I would ever get to see you again!" Akiho smiled
330 happily, drinking in the girl's features. Yuina had grown so beautiful. Her
331 long pale blond hair reached just past her knees, her pale face dominated by
332 her huge violet eyes. As she spoke, Akiho was again entranced by the soft sweet
333 quality of her voice. "Do you still sing Yuina?"
335 She watched as a slow blush spread across Yuina's cheeks. "Not since recently
336 Akiho, but… but I was never as good as you." Akiho smiled to herself; Yuina was
337 still the same as ever; willing to let Akiho take credit for things she didn't
338 deserve. "No I'm not Yuina. You should have gotten the lead role in the choir."
340 Yuina's head shot up, surprised at what Akiho had just said. "It's true Yuina.
341 I envied you so much; you were so much better than me. I couldn't handle your
342 getting the role so I spoke to the teachers and they gave it to me because of
343 who my father is," Akiho sighed, looking away. "I felt so awful once I realized
344 how cruel and wrong I had been. I… I've been wanting to say sorry for so long."
346 Smiling, Yuina sat next to Akiho and wrapped her arms around her friend and
347 hugged her. "Oh Akiho it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope we can be good
348 friends again, like before. I've missed you!" Surprised and pleased at the same
349 time, Akiho returned the hug and smiled. "I've missed you too Yuina."
351 From the shadows of nearby a tree, Lucifer watched, her hand clenched to the
352 trunk of the tree, slowly shredding it. Jealousy flooded through her; no one
353 could share Akiho's affection with her. They were hers and hers alone. Yuina
354 Hatori would bear close watching.
