Book Three: Chapter Ten: Barachiel to the Rescue?

Last time, I helped Barachiel. Which was something I didn't want to do.

This time, I felt a kind of sorry for him.

The next day, we were outside for lunch. I spaced out. Haru. Haru! Yumi yelled. Oh hey Yumi, when did you come over? I asked.

Five minutes ago, you know I can see the dreams of others. Yumi replied. Emma and Minori walked over. You can do what? Minori asked. Yes, I can see the thoughts and dreams of others. Yumi replied. I turned around. Did I just see Barachiel just now? I thought.

He appeared and grabbed me.

Why are you here? Let go of me. I asked. Originally, I was going to talk to you later, but things changed. Barachiel replied.

A weird barrier appeared around us.

They evacuated the students from the school. So you still have a soft spot for her? Azrai asked. None of your business. Barachiel replied. I watched him defend me like he always did. Listen to me Yumi. I know certain things changed, but I need you to creep into his mind. Barachiel replied. Why should I help you? Yumi asked. Remember what happened last time? Several criminals are after Haru's head. Help me much as you hate to. Barachiel replied. We're all in on this. Minori replied. Who is it precisely, Luka? I asked. Azrai is almost here. Barachiel replied. It's been awhile, Haru. I see you have two men in love with you. Azrai replied. I turned around, and she was on a pillar.

What do you want with me? I asked. Don't play innocent. You and those two got a few of us arrested. My Aunt Izanami got my sister and Ayana out. Azrai replied. Why are here Azrai? Don't you have better things to do? Minori asked. I heard you were easy on the eyes. So this is what you look, Sayuri? Azrai asked. Why does it have to be her, of all people? I asked. Izanami wants vengeance. Barachiel replied. Azrai attacked. Everyone run! Barachiel yelled. As everyone ran, they went into a portal. Which leads to Megumi's Dojo. Barachiel tried to get up.

He dropped his sword and collapsed. Luka! I yelled. She's calling my name. Barachiel thought.

He fainted soon after. Minori and I helped bring him in. Why are you helping him? Megumi asked. He's injured. I replied. You are right, but this screams Azrai. Megumi replied. Megumi takes his shirt and jacket off. She must have attacked previously. This scar is fresh. Megumi replied. Do we have to treat him? Yumi asked. Yes, we do. Megumi replied. Since Haru's magic causes destruction. You're healing him. Megumi replied. Why me? Can't Liliya heal him? Yumi asked. Liliya rushed through the door. Haru, I got your message. Where's Luka? Liliya asked. Right here. I asked. She crossed her hands over him. Ancient Avaritia Art: Reverse Heavenly Light. Liliya replied. Wait, she's healing his wounds fast. Yumi replied. Her magic isn't all the demonic. She's a rare case. Her mother possesses Ancient Healing magic. She saved their father's life much as he was too proud to admit it. Megumi replied. For now, we have to keep him before his friends come here to get him. I replied.

Stay Tuned.
