The Angel Administration’s glow was so blinding that Sakura had to shield her eyes. The angel who grabbed her by the shoulder pushed up his glasses.

“You recognized me,” he said. “Very good.” Sakura looked at all thirteen angels.

“What are you doing here? What do you do want? How did you find me?” she asked. The angel with the glasses held up his hand.

“Kaze-san told us everything,” he said.

“She… She did?” the tenshi-chi asked. Was this a trick? Did they get into her head somehow? Sakura pinched herself in the cheek.

“Don’t worry, this isn’t a trick,” another angel said in the crowd. “We are really here.” She took a step back.

“What are you doing here?” she asked. Sakura put her hand to her chest.

“I don’t have time to be punished by you! I have to find my baby!” she shouted. The angel with glasses held up his hand.

“We know,” he said. “We’re not here to kill you.” He lowered his hand.

“We’re here to help you,” the angel finished. Sakura looked so confused. Her mouth moved to form words.

“What? Why? Why would you do that?” she asked.

“There isn’t any time for questions,” the angel with glasses said.

“We already know where your daughter is,” another angel in the crowd said. “We’ll take you to her.” Sakura closed her mouth and lowered her head.

“Okay,” she said in a soft voice. The angels circled her and put their hands on her head. They closed their eyes and began to sing. Sakura’s body felt lighter. She closed her eyes and vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, he rose to his feet. The angels finally stepped in to make their move, huh? He chuckled to himself.

“So this is what it takes to make Heaven move,” he said to himself. It was kind of funny if he thought about it. That didn’t bother him. It was going to take them a while to get to the child. Plus, the fight with his rival was about to wind down. It was getting kind of boring, to be honest. There was only one way to change that. His lips curled into a cold, malicious smirk.

“I think it’s about time that the little cowboy learned the full truth,” he said. He picked up six black pomegranate seeds and placed them into his mouth. He closed his eyes as he chewed and swallowed them. The juice swirled around in his mouth. After swallowing, he picked up a handful of black sand mixed with dust and threw it up into the air. He opened his eyes, revealing a deep red glow to them. Cold blood red flames formed at his feet. In a flash, they shot up and swallowed him whole.

Meanwhile, Miya was sound asleep in a dark pink cage dangling above a pit of wild dogs.
