Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 13
In The Start

I made a mad dash out of the classroom and did the first thing any normal person would do: find anyone you knew. The first place I ran to was Len's classroom. He was just handing in his test, so I waited for him impatiently outside. Okay, I'll even admit it. I'm impatient, okay? He looked surprised to see me after he exited, but I didn't care. I grabbed his sleeve and yanked him out into the front yard.

"What's wrong?" he asked, caught off guard.

"Look!" I yelled, pointing to the center of the yard. His eyes widened and he pushed me roughly back inside the school. "OW! Len!"

"Don't move," he snapped at me. "Go find Rein or Miki or Luka and don't go anywhere near Lily or Teto, go it?"

"W-why?" I asked, gripping the bottom of my shirt.

"Just do it!" he yelled. I, on normal circumstances, would never listen to people who snap at me like that. Seriously, I'd question their respect, but anyway I ran through the halls to find at least Ren or Miki or something. The other students around stared at me in confusion, but through the window, I only saw the beaten body and Len carefully approaching it. He looked like it was going to get up and attack him or something.

"Hey Rin!" I turned to the left and saw Rein and Luka heading my way. "What's up? You shouldn't be running like that in the halls you know."

"Len told me to find you," I admitted. I honestly don't know why Len did, but Rein apparently knew. Apparently it was bad because the minute I told him, Luka sprinted off to alert everyone else. "Rein, what's going on? Who is that guy down there? Why is Len being so serious?"

"Shut up, please," he said. Ah, rude and polite in the same sentence, but that's not the point. "It's a good thing you told me...alright then. Come with me. Now." He picked me up bridal style and started sprinting down the hallway, following Luka's trail.

"Where do you think you're going, kid?" an icy voice asked. Rein froze, it felt if the air dialed down a hundred degrees. I looked over his shoulder and almost screamed.

Len P.O.V.

Alright, I had to be careful... one wrong move might kill me. I kept looking around, making sure not to step on any of the tree roots. In the middle was a body that froze my own veins. His name was Dell and he was my Rin's deceased father...with wings? What kind of a joke is this? I approached the body and examined the bloody body. What was it doing here? He was buried years ago and I'm pretty sure he was suppost to be dust right now, not fully intact. Obviously a greater force than human did this. Though, who?

"Len!" I turned around and saw Rei skipping over the roots, doing his best not to touch them as well. "What the hell is this?"

"Someone dug up Rin's dad," I said, pointing to the body. Rei flashed a look of discust, but shook it off. He went to examine Dell himself and I looked around, checking the trees. When I heard her shriek, I bolted to the school, not even caring if I stepped on the roots.

"DAMN IT LEN!" Rei cursed. I turned around after I reached the school's entrance and saw Rei running from Dell's body sitting up. Demon work. Defintely. The ground started to shake and Rei had to grow out his wings to make it into the building. "I'll try to contain this thing, but I'll need some help." I bit my lip.

"I need to get to Rin!" I said, trying to decide.

"Then let me help." A gun clicked and we turned around. Meiko blew us kisses and ran foward to Dell.

"Don't let Rin see who this is!" I called out, running up the stairs with one person on my mind. Rin.

Rin P.O.V

"Rein!" I shrieked, shaking his body. Her dark chuckle made shivers and I tried to wake Rein up. "C'mon Rein! Please!"

"He's knocked out cold, Rinny," she said, toxic sugar coating her voice. I turned to her and tried to pick Rein up.

"Stay away from us Teto!" I yelled, trying to move Rein. "What did Rein ever do to you? Leave him alone!" She giggled and rested a blood metal baseball bat on her shoulder.

"I had to knock him out, Rinny," she said, simply. "After all he was the one standing in between you and me." She grabbed my arm with her free hand and yanked me up roughly. "Yeah, you're in a great attitude to visit our king now." I cringed at her red, bloodlust eyes and the sinister chill that made my arm go numb.

"She's not going anywhere, Teto." I could see Teto's eyes widened and a sickening crack of bone. Her grip loosened on my arm and her eyes started dripping tears. I almost tripped over Rein and shrieked my lungs out. Blood dripped to the ground and Teto's body crumpled down like a puppet. Len held his bloody hand to his chest and a large mass of flesh in his hands. He dropped it to the ground and stopped it down with his foot. I could only stare in horror at his hand, his nails pointed dangerously.

"Look away Rin," he told me. But I couldn't.

"Here," a voice groaned. A hand covered my eyes and I heard fabric, flesh, bone crunching, and horrible gushing of blood. Through the cracks of the hand, Len pulled out Teto's heart and mercilessly crushed it. I was shaking now, in utter terror. What was happening?

"You okay, Rein?" Len asked.

"Y-yeah, my head hurts though," Rein responded. I couldn't help but stare at Teto's body. It made me shake ever more. The hole in the back of her head, the hole in the back of her chest; both stained in blood and had remains of organ flesh leaking through.

"Don't look Rin," Len said, commanding my attention. His eyes were so different, they scared me. The white replaced by red and the blue replaced by sick yellow. Black angel wings sprouted from his back, but the look he gave me was warm. "I'll explain to you later, but for now..." With his clean hand, he pulled me to him and kissed me straight on the lips. I closed my eyes and it was the same chocolate melting feeling.

It was the sign that this demon and the guy I love are the same person.
