"You're Late" Raziel said, he was Zaphiekiels personal servant, and sometimes was jealous of Aimi for all of the time she spent with him, but he was okay with her now that h knew her past.
"Sorry, we were kept late in history of the great angels, finishing up the chapter on my father" Aimi said as she refurled her wings and sat on the edge of the fountain, taking a look at her dark brown hair with redish purple highlights, and her dark blue eyes with darker blue rings before the whites, and the tattoo that proved her evil lineage, in her reflection, before splashing the water ruining it by splashing it and looking away.
"Dont worry about it, Zaphiekiel is running late and he just wanted you guys to work on other stuff like papers for Dina" Raziel told her as Kato caught up, he was out of breath.
"But we dont have anything" she told him back. She was right, since they had ample extra credit, they had been told by Dina, the angel of education, to take a break. Dina, Zaphiekiel and a few others treated Aimi like a normal Angel, the others liked to try and condemn her.
"well you do owe him a song remember, for beating Kato. You bet against it."
"I didnt think he would throw the fight" Aimi said angerly
"I did not throw the fight Aim's you got stronger" Kato said and took the spot beside her. Raziel and Zaphiekiel were the only ones who knew his secret, Aimi would had she not been completely oblivious.
She crossed her arms, and got red. "Fine so I owe him a song did he say which one he wanted?" She asked
"Your choice, Wrong again, or My baby loves me" Raziel replied waiting for some sort of lightening bolt to strike him down. Zaphikiel thought Aimi had some issues with loving herself so if he bet her, the bets were secret so they did not count as sins, she would end up singing a love song.
"Whhhy" she whined and put her head in her hands.
"Can I be here to watch" Kato asked and was smacked by Aimi.he rubbed the red spot on his cheek from her backhand.
"Umm no" Aimi told him as Zaphikiel walked into the garden. He may have been blind, but he could see peoples aura's, which let him see that person in a different light. He could see what they looked like, if he had seen them before he had seen the light of the Supreme leader, the first of gods children, but if he didnt they were a blur of color.
"Okay I see Aimi, you have hurt Kato again" He said as he came into view. His white wings were neatly folded behind him, and his long black hair was neatly kept in a low ponytail.
"I think he deserved it and it was ethical because while it could have been wrong, I am saving him from hearing my horrendous singing voice" She said to him and twirled one red streak of hair around her fingers.
"Its ethical to you and your reasoning only if it would be torture, but my angel, my god daughter, it is not torture, for you have your fathers singing voice."
"Just what I need to sound like a guy"
"You know what I mean Aimi" He said and Kato laughed. "Nowit is ethical to smack him"
*SMACK*
"OWWW " Kato whined and rubbed the same spot.
Raziel laughed, "You two look like a human coupling"
"Aye, Raziel the look it well. One could almost say they were lovers but they would never break the laws, not until they were at last Thrones"
Aimi was beginning to get exasperated. "Can we have our lesson for the day?"
"That was the lesson" Zephikiel said. "You just need to relax before you are promoted to Arch Angels" He said and sat beside Raziel. "Besides, tomorrow after you are promoted, you get a whole new assignment. Whether the killing of different people is ethical, and if it is, you may have at it."
"And Sevotharte is letting this happen" Kato asked, for it was nearly uncalled of their leader.
"The execution list has gotten to big for Uriel alone so I asked if I could let some arch angels do the job. I did not say which ones and he was in too much of a hurry to notice your names on the forms"
"YES" Aimi said, happy that she could excercise her powers for the first time since getting put on probation.
"Aim's a little less happy" Kato whispered
"Ohh. oops" she said and laughed.
"And that is why we keep you here then in Gehenna." Zaphikiel said.
"Zaphi, can you tell me more about my dad?" Aimi asked, calling him by the nickname she called him since she was a young girl.
"After your promoted Aimi, which reminds me Sevotharte and Perpetial shall be here soon so you may want to mask your self." He said
"
Water and earth I call thee, cover this mark for other eyes not to see " she chanted and covered the Mark just as Perpetial appeared. She curtsied to the older, and higher rank Cerubium.
"Aimi, Kato, I am so happy that you two are moving up in the ranks, up to Arch- Angel. I didn't think that you two woul move up so quickly" the blonde haired angel said and Sevotharte entered the garden
"nor did one think that the Demon child would move up before the rest of the sngels. Is it your heritage that helped you" he asked from behind the veil he wore over his face.
"Lord Sevotharte, it is by hardwork that these two angels have come to be promoted." Perpetial said. "I have watched them myself and no demon blood powers their works."
"Well then what about prostitution? A crime punished by the loss of ones wings?"
"Lord Sevotharte I can tell you that my god daughter would not do such a thing"
"Well then Perpetial, you may do your job. But do it quickly before Metatron needs me"
"Yes then Sevotharte" He said, and began his own spell. "
Hard work, and Hard Challenges, upgrade the souls, promote the wory, and accept these two Arch-Angels into their ranks " He chanted and both Aimi and Kato raised up to be surrounded into white light. FInally they came down after what had felt like hours, and found thier wings were bigger, able to sustain flight longer then the old ones, and while Kato's had red tones to them, Aimi's remained jet black, with a few scattered spots of silver feathers.
"Aimi, your wings probably havent changed due to your blood" Perpetial stated, as she looked at the wings that Kato had. The red tones added to his look. "work hard and we will be back" he said and flew away. Aimi slumped down in a heep and pulled her knee's up, her head and arms resting upon them. "Will her ever see me as something other and abomination?" she asked with a voice riddled with tears.
"Kato you have three minutes" Zaphikiel said before leaving.
"Aimi, I dont think of you as that" He said and rubbed her back, for her wings had refurled and disapeered into her body.
"Everyone else does" She whimpered
"Does everyone else matter, Aimi I..."
"Well isnt it the half breed, and lover boy?" Zachariah, another regular angel asked as he and his entourage landed.
"Not in the mood today Zachariah, now doesnt the Regina Angelum need you?"
"Not yet, I left her asleep and perfectly sated but maybe the half breed is like her mother, does she want a piece of this taken man?"
"Zachariah, howis theLady Selene?" Zaphikiel asked as he arrived to tell Kato that his three minutes were up.
"lord Zaphikiel... I do not know how my lady fares, in fact its time I get back to her" he sadi as he and the others took off.
"Kato, go home, wecan take care of her"
"I would rather that I take her to her room" he said and Aimi looked up, stretched her wings and stood.
"There is no need Kato, I can take care of my self" she said and she flew up to the balcony of her bedroom, and opened the sliding door and walked in.
"will she ever notice?" Kato asked
"Eventually, but not for a long while. You have to make it obvious" Raziel said.
"Raziel its blatantly obvious to everyone except her" Kato replied
"Kato, go home, relaxe, tell your mother of your promotion" Zaphikiel said as he and Raziel walked inside. Aimi walked out ont her balcony, wearing a pair of ligth blue pajama bottoms and a white tank top.
"Aimi, will you ever know that I love you?" he whispered and disapeered into the night.
