Part 17

Attack of ghosts and illusions

Soon they would leave heaven for earth.

And Ryutaro was more clingy to Aoi than ever. He was his mentor, his protector, his lover. Strong and beautiful, a little composed sometimes which made him only more sexy. There was no decision, no thought or idea Taro wouldn't discuss with him before acting. In Aoi's wisdom he always trust, in his power it was irresistible to rest.

And the love was good. God knows their last lifetime on earth was tragic but devoted and sincere. Sometimes, when the sun shone onto Aoi's deep black hair, with his gaze wandering off into the distance, Taro imagined him in his last life time with the olive toned skin, the wordless warrior with great power but even greater wisdom in holding it back. He trusted his Guardian blindly and was scared to leaven him for the new, wide world. Aoi had always been there for him but now it was time for Ryutaro to get his own protege, to become responsible for another living being and that's what he was afraid of. He would rather stay with his beloved and get pampered by him. But at some point they all had to leave to gain experience. Everybody said that getting an own protege meant 'to grow up'.

He would have rather stayed in this strong, warm arms which hold onto him tightly only a few moments ago. The hot voice against his hear making him shiver, the warm lips too addicting, to demanding on his little mouth and over his whole body. Aoi could be greedy but Taro always gave in with with great pleasure. There was no physical love in heaven like on earth but the touches didn't feel less 'alive' neither. Something was always amiss in heaven and being human made other things possible. Although the protege stayed Angels during their temporary visit on earth this time.

Taro sighed on his way to Toshiya. They wanted to meet up after school and on his way he wondered what kind of person his own protege could possibly be. The persona of a new protege was chosen by Ruki and no one was able to interfere or make wishes about it. Everybody received a matching soul, a human important for their personal growth and in return they helped this human to develop too. All Taro hoped for was that his new protege would be nice.

"Thank you for spending your little free time with me, considering that we have to leave tomorrow." Taro said on their way through the castle and Toshiya seemed to be surprised about it.

"Sure, why shouldn't I?"

"Well I thought you would have rather stayed with Hakuei, enjoying the remaining time together."

"What's Hakuei got to do with meeting a friend?" Toshiya's smile was innocent and unknowingly. And Taro realized that 'it' may never occurred to Toshiya what kind of relationships Guardian Angels and protege could possibly have, next to the fact that Toshiya seemed to be completely blind because he was still too consumed in his own little world.

"Anyway!" Taro changed topic. "I will miss you so much! I would have loved to meet you on earth but in all probability we will be separated."

"What?! But I wanted to stay with you! It would have been so much fun..."

"I know but we have to go to where our protege are living, means we're most likely separated."

The word 'protege' weighed heavily on Toshiya's soul. He could hardly handle himself and taking care of another living being now? A scary thought but if heaven wanted them to they could only oblige.

Startled by a door being loud shut, the two Angels stopped in their tracks. A furious, young Angel crossed their path and his face wore the usual death-glare. It was Ni~ya. But the glistening on his cheeks unmistakeably tears. Taro and Toshiya felt like caught in the situation. It would have been rude to simply ignore him but asking him about it seemed nosy too.
