Shiki woken up early that morning as usual, he couldn't sleep anyway, so he decided to wake up, he had Angelic all settled in, so there was no worries. He combed his fingers through his disheveled hair that was down. As he woke up, he saw it was still dark out, so he quickly got changed into his training clothes. It was just some Chinese puffed out pants, at the bottome it was clamped tight to his legs. He wore black boots. He quickly put uo his hair into a messy bun, then he went to do his usual training, and cultivating. 

Shiki one of thr bars, upside down, with weights on his wrists and ankles, he moved up and down, as if he was doing push-up handstands. He had already ran a few miles, stood on wooden logs, trying to be faster than the water. He then looked over, seeing the sun slightly coming up, and one of of his male help coming to him, with a female walking behind him. The man seemed to be getting after thr female again, he sighed. He knew that was nothing new but, he was tired of seeing, they were just being lazy and getting after her for their unfinished work. He would most likely take care of that later. 

He then turned right side up, landing back on his feet, and as a towel was handed to him, he looked to see thr male handing him a clip pad, something for him to sign, he saw the name. He briefly read that, and saw it wasn't a trick, it was what he wanted. He signed it and looked at the male. 

"If this gets missed placed between now and the time it gets taken to where it needs to go, I will personally hold you and everyone in charge responsible.. Is that understood?" He said as he touched the males shoulder and squeezed, hard enough to make him flinch. 

"Yes sir.. Understood sir." The man spoke, seeming scared. 

"Oh and thr girl stay.. I wouldn't her to " misplace" it." Shiki spoke. 

"But sir.. She is supposed.." The man started to say, but shiki stopped him. 

"Who is inchsrge.. You or I?" Shiki spoke. 

"You are sir." The man said as he bowed. 

"Good, remember it.. As I said the girl stays here.. Now go do as I said." Shiki ordered as the man nodded and left. 

Shiki wiped his face from the Sweat, with thr towel that was given to him, as he was handed the glass of water, he basically gulped it down. He then set thr glass down, and looked back at the girl thst seemed to be nervous, reminded him of Angelic, he sighed. 

"You there.. What's your name?" He asked in more demanding tone than what he wanted, as she flinched. 

"Me?  I'm Sasha." She said softly, he nodded. 

"Sasha.. How often do they scold you?" He asked in a more softer tone. 

"Uh.. All the time.. They.. They don't do their work and they throw it all on uh underlings ..and when it doesn't it get all done right away we get a beating or some kinda of other painf punishment." She said softly. 

"I see.. Okay give me the other names that get this punishment and I will protect you and the other names." Shiki spoke softly. 

"It's me.. Lizzy, Josh, he is little, uhm nessa, and Lisa." She said, as he nodded. 

"Okay, from now on you guys are gonna be getting orders directly from me.. Also I want you to be around Angelic.. You will be her personal helper. Okay?" He said, as she nodded.

"Okay, what do I tell the others?" She asked, kinda scared. 

"Just tll them to come to me.. If they harm you ..tell Angelic about it and tell her what orders I gave you...she will come to me...you let me hane the rest.. Understood?" He stated softly. 

"Y-yes sir. Thank you sir." She said. 

"Good.. Now let o back.. Don't worry about walking along side me.. I will protect you. " he said, as they walked back to the house. 

Heading into the house, he saw someone getting beat, Sasha yanked on wrist lightly, letting him know this was one of the names. He nodded, and had her step behind him, he folded his arms, as someone poked him from behind. 

"What?! You all know not to disturb me when I'm disaplinning someone!" The man yelled, that made shiki raise a brow. 

"But sir.. You are gonna turn and look.." The other man said. 

"You wanna get beat for disturbing me.. You know what happens when you offend me." The man said. 

"But sir, I would rather offend you than our boss.. Please turn around." The man begged. 

"Dumb ass, what is so immportsnt thst you need too... " stopping in midsentence he cleared his throat. 

"Do you often beat people?.. If I'm not mistaken the rules in my house make for this punishment against them.. So I will give you one more chance..give me lizzy, Josh, nessa, and lissa.. Understood?" He ordered. 

"Y-yes sir." The man said. 

"Oh and uhm I want them unharmed.. And if this one is one of those names bring them too.. Well, even if they aren't bring em." Shiki ordered as both males nodded and left. 

Shiki took Sasha with him to his office, as he had he sit down and take a nap, since she hadn't slept in a couple days. He had breakfast made for them as well, and for Angelic. Then he sat at his desk, doing his work waiting for them to come to his office. 

Angelic awoke from her slumber and stretched out in her bed. It had been a rough night of a nightmare that wouldn't leave her thoughts but she kept it quiet from Shiki. 

Pulling back the covers and swung her legs off the bed, she grabbed her red silk robe and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.  Looking into the mirror and grabbed her hair brush, pulling her hair back into a bun before slipping from her robe to shower.

Stepping into the hot water as the heat rose through her cold body. She wished this cold sensation would just leave her and be like all the rest of the human race. After washing her body and then rinses the suds from her skin, Angelic grabbed the big fluffy towel and wrapped it around her. Turning off the shower and walked over to clean her teeth before returning to the bedroom.

Wiping and dressing quickly in a  black shorts and red T-shirt, Shiki had shown her the night before to hide her wings which hurt a few times but she managed to hide them away.

Angelic headed out to look for the room he said the breakfast would be. Heading inside she knelt upon the floor by the table, waiting for his arrival.

As he entered his office Raven and Noel was in there, he raised a brow, but then thought this was s good idea, just as the three young ones entered. He had them taken a seat, and looked at his neice and nephew, confused as to why they would even be in his office in the first place. 

"Since you two are here, I need your help in finding clothes for these five, that shows the rank right under my command.. And the only listen to my orders.." He said, as Raven raised a brow. 

"So your direct colors?" Noel asked. 

"Yes, and a badge of some kind that shows they are directly under me." He ordered lightly. 

"Alright.. Since I'm asking.. Do you also want me to send her to be with Angelic?" Raven asked. 

Yes.. That would be great.. Speaking of Angelic.. I need to go check on her.. See you guys in a bit." Shiki stated as he went to take a shower. 

Quickly leaving his office to wash off the Sweat and annoyance at his house help, he sighed. Then once he finished, he smelled like ocean and some kind of tropical fruit. As he quickly got dressed into his royal blue clothes, Chinese style, he then did up his hair quickly. Chinese and Viking and eqyptian style mix. 

As he finished, he walked to the dining room, confused as to why she seemed to do this like a slave. He sighed as he sat across from her. He looked up to see his bodyguard coming in and bowing in respect to them. 

"Angelic.. You aren't a slave. You are a guest in my home.. Please don't treat yourself as less." He spoke softly to hercas he nodded to his body guard. 

She lifted her head as if in a deep thought, his scent flowed through her mind. "I've always knelt like this. I watched other women like this back home in the temples" lifting her eyes slightly to his as they changed to a very light aquamarine. 

"I have much to learn of this world and to understand the customs of these humans. Please help me Shiki" she said softly as she slowly rose to her feet. Walking to the window and looked out over the gardens, as the gentle breeze rustling thought the cherry blossoms. 

Angelic turned slightly to look over her shoulder at him "Tell me what would you do if something kept you awake at night?" She said curiously as she folded her arms around her body as if to warm her body again.

"Well times have changed.. We don't need to kneel, you aren't my slave.. That's a bit weird.. Even back then I thought it was weird." He stated truthfully 

His now goldish royal blue eyes, watched her, he lightly took a bite, as he watched her, listening to her. She seemed interested in these things, taking him off his guard, he took a sip of his tea and set down his chop stick, giving her his full attention. 

"Hmm, well.. You can tell someone about it.. Or go walk around to get some fresh air.. Or get some water.. Or come wake me up... Up to you. " he stated. 

"Someone spoke of respect and the way of kneeling was the way to go. A man in the temple, before I came here. He was how you put it leering at me back then" she said softly the shuddered to the thought.

Reaching down to pick up her cup and brought it to her lips gently sipping the hot tea "you asked back at Sensei's home, why I haven't looked after myself. The reason is that I have this recurring dream. This is why I can't seem to eat much each day and I tend to fall back to sleep at a moments notice." She stated truthfully as she looked down and realized she also ate without thinking.

"It's because someone from heaven is trying to scare you back into heaven to control you.. So the more you rely on heavens power.. The more you can be tracked.. So we have to get rid of that.. And break you down and give yoh new powers of your own." He said softly. 

He slowly sipped his tea thinking. "Well.. You don't need to get on your knews to greet me.. You haven't done anything wrong to do this." He paused for a bit, then as an after thought he said. "Looks like I'm going to have to teach the ways of this era." He said softly.

He then took a bite oc his fruit, seeing his head bodyguard come into talk with him, he offered the man a seat infront of him. As he sst down, he clapped his hands, giving a signal for food and such to be set for the man. 

"Listen Angelic.. This is man is one if my men in charge of protection and investigations.. Something similar to my brother...he can get you all kinds of information.. If you have issues or you need anything..And I'm not around, silent is the man to go to.. Trust him he is good peoples." He said introducing them to each other. 

Angelic turned back and leaned against the wall, wrapping her arms  around her waist. Listening to him, thinking quietly of all the things that happened even before being left on the cold mountain top all those years before.

"Why control me, I am a lowly angel compared to those others above me. Then tell me why did they leave me on the mountain. When you found me that day" she was more confused in her mind.

She lifted her eyes and smiled softly "I would like to see more of this world as I've only seen as far as the garden so far or the home back in China"

Smiling to the man before her "yes of course. What kind of information do you mean?" She bit her lips

"Do you not that you are the most powerful weapon heaven has?  You the only one that get rid of the heavens hold on you.. Well with ease.. But with my held and guidence you can become more powerful than your oppressers...also you are the only Angel that has deeper secrets than the average angels." Shiki stated truthfully. 

"Haha good question.. Let's say yoh want that information on your past or your hidden enemies.. If he isn't around to help you get it.. I'm your next biggest help.. Which reminds me sir.. I got the information you wanted." He told shiki. 

"I figured that was the reason of your visit." Shiki stated. 

"Looks like your theory was right.. The person in charge has never shown himself but he has shown off his muscle. How deals with situations himself.. Is he gets them in the middle of the night... While their relaxed and such.. Anyone who has ever seen his face has died.. Besides people closest to him...even the help thst cleans his house has never seen his appearance...also he is most likely after you.. But whsf I gathered he has never seen your appearance. But he has heard of you through others.. And he kinda has an idea that you might have ruined his plans.. So becareful....there is more.. So I put it in a file and such so I didn't outside fo hear it incase I was followed or if we have a spy." He said. 

"Mhm.. I'm guessing you were able to get a picture of his image in here?" Shiki asked. 

"Yes.. It's all in there." He said as a man handex shiki thr files. 

"Alright.. Oh I recoomend you stay here for awhile. And raise your power level.. Just incase.." Shiki said as the man nodded. 

"Angelic.. After break fast we will began training as soon as possible." He said. 

Her jaw dropped open "wait a minute, in all these centuries up there. Your telling me that I am stronger than those other angels. How the hell is that bloody possible?" Her face drained as she moved to sit at the table. Grabbing her cup and sipping the tea.

This news had shocked her even more, as she looked to the man "then I want information on my past, like who is my mother and father. I never knew them and I feel like if I was taken away" she said truthfully. 

Listening to what they were talking about "who is this person you speak of? What has he done?" She said quietly.

Lifting her head and turned to shiki "what kind of training?"

"Well we will answer all of your questions once we get you started on your training." Shiki said softly, calming her down. 

He then took a sip of his tea, then he looked up at her, seeing her curiosity, he gave a side small smirk. He saw the man leaving, just as shiki put another fruit into his mouth. "As I said, I will break down that power from heaven in your body and then I will rebuild you.. Oh you will be put to the Brink of death at times just as me. You will be pushing past all your limits.. Bug you will become more powerful than your fellow friends.. Brothers sisters.. With this way I'm putting your through.. You can, become what you were meant to be.. But you have to do everything as I say snd you have to trust me... Understood?" He stated, giving off confidence. 

He then looked down at her food, seeing she hadn't eaten a thing. "Oh uhm one other thing.. Eating is an essential to your training.. You will want fo eat as much as possible. With the way I train you. Your food intake will be much larger." He said softly, but truthfully. 

She blinked as she listened to him "what the fuck? You going to kill me then bring me to life again" she slapped her hand over her mouth, realizing she cursed.  "How, what, why?" 

Angelic became scared at what she was listening to the training she would go through. Her stomach knotted up and fluffed out her wings to hide under the feather. "I'm scared. What if I can't do this? I trust you but all this is scary even after what happened up in the heavens that once" shit she realized what she blurted out. Having vowed she wouldn't after the ordeal.

Looking down at her food "I have eaten more than I normally have and this ain't my plate but that mans, who left here"

"First off.. Calm down.. I'm not killing you.. Secondly I will be putting you in situations of thr brink of death to bring out your full potential.. Thirdly listen closely.. Fourthly how?  Through the way I train you.. That's how.. Fifthly you can do it.. I seen it.. Even if it's scary you gotta stand up and face it head iton.. If you kesl Dunning from it you will never be able to protect things you want and you will never be able to repay me like you want to.. I mean it's scarier to stay the way you are and become helpless.." He stated truthfully but softly. 

He looked down at where she was at now, he rolled his eyes. "Well you were the one to move away to another sitting place.. Get back to your original seat if you want. Your food is right there." He pointed to the spot she was originally at. 

"Well.. Sir I'm going to get started on the new arrends you have me doing.. And I will grf back to you once I have some thing." He said. 

"Good..  But make sure you train first and then do it okay?" Shiki ordered softly. 

"Yes sir, good day sir." Silent wrnt off to do his own things. 

"You do realize I already know about thar.. And it's one of the reasons I'm doing this." He said softly. 

She shifted in her seat and got back to the original place. Picking up her fork and moved it around the plate, her mind swimming with confusion. Knowing in her heart that she had to do this or that her nightmares would still play on her mind.

"OK fair enough but I am still nervous by it all. I thought that once coming from the cold mountain top and I nearly died back then.  Not a memory that I would like to relive of you seeing me in my clothes back then" she blushed at that thought of the skimpy outfit.

The one thing she wanted and he hadn't noticed her. Looking down and covering all her thoughts and images in her mind. Not wanting him to read  what she was thinking.

"Tell me why you are doing this for me? When I have no clue what I am supposed to do" she spoke softly as she started to eat her food. "Its not like I can control these powers that you saw"

He continued slowly to eat his food, he knew her exact thoughts without them being revealed to her, but before he could give her answers, he had to help her train for her to be able to protect herself for knowing all this. 

"I have my own reasons.. When you have enough power to protect yourself I will tell you.. As for that.. You seem to doubt me. Anyway you will be taught all of that, so just cslm down and eat your breakfast, now I know how my brother felt when he trained his wife, heh." He stated, thinking about something. 

"Let me ask you this.. Do you really think I need anything from you to do this?  I'm not one of yous fellow angels, worse than Lucifer himself. Heh.. Anyways.. I promised someone.. Doesn't matter right now.. You just need to worry about becoming truely powerful." He stated truthfully and sofly. 

Shiki finished eating and sighed, he really sucked at communicating with others, he wasn't used to it, but he was pretty sure the people around him was going to make him used to it. 

She sighed softly as all she ever heard was to eat up her food, to dress warm. Each time she rolled her eyes, knowing how Savannah felt  and gave a grin.  Tucking into her breakfast and realized she was hungry. 

"Don't take it personal, I doubt everything as this life is all new to me but I need to learn more of this era. Can you help me learn more?" She said with a smile before shuddering to the name Lucifer and gets up to walk over to the window.

The source of her nightmares "Your not as bad as Lucifer believe me, he is pure evil and I've seen this." 

"I will do what you say and become stronger. I promise to eat more for energy"

"Heh I don't know about that.. Your home csn make him seem more than what he actually is... Anyways.. As long as you follow me, you will have great oppertunities.." He said, as he took a sip of his tea. 

Seeing her duck and eat her breakfast, he nodded, "As soon as breakfast is over, I will have you run fifty laps.. And don't say it's too hard.. Because when I was younger I was to do five hundred to a thousand and that's just starting." He spoke softly but truthfully. 

As he finished his breakfast, he then stood up and walked towards the door for his own excersize, along with hers, "listen.. When you feel like something is too hard, you keep moving forward, even if it means you put your life on the line.. For you there is no turning back.. Thr moment you turn back, is the moment you could die." He stated truthfully. 

He then headed towards the training grounds, doing his own hellish training, waiting for her, but also giving her time to breathe, so she knew she was safe, but also giving her the unspoken words of it will be hard but you must continue no matter how hard it is. 

She looked out of the corner at him as she got up from her chair and went to change into her gym clothes. "Uhmm why would you think that I say it hurts for when I have flown so far before."

She casually walked down towards him and stretched out her body as the muscles screamed even before she started. Making her laughs quietly "so tell me where i have to run then or do I run on the spot" she teases him as she looked around the training grounds.

"Right.. You see that long circular track thst looks like it's for a horse race track.. Right infront of us.. That would be it." He teased her back raising his brow. 

He used his fingers to come through his his hair, putting up a quick ponytail in his hair, keeping his hair off his neck, until he had his hair done. He remembered watching his sisters do it, when they needed to quickly put it up. As he finished, he then got on thr track, and started to run pacing himself. 

As started to run, he let his thoughts kinda unfold, falling slightly into deep thought. Thinking about his next move, although he knew he had to train Angelic, he also needed to figure out his next few moves a d how he was going to survive. He also needed go ensure his way of life, so he would just continue to go on doing this while still quietly listening to thr outside world. 

As he ran, he felt thr cool morning breeze hitting his face, breezing though bis curly hair, he felt each and every muscle tense up and release. He felt each and every nerve, it was like the more he cultivated, the more he felt sensetive to things. His five senses seem to have gotten stronger. 

"Remember.. Before 8:30..you need to have at least fifty laps in and doing an excersizing routine.. Then we will teach you a breathing technique. But for now.. Just concentrate on running." He ordered sofftly. 

The wind blew gently through her hair as she began to stretch out so that she wouldn't ache later in the evening.

"pffft, don't become the slave driver now or I will never finish this."  She teased him back as she bent over to fix her laces of her running shoes.  She slowly stood back up and walked over to the track and began to run is a gentle pace  so that she wouldn't get winded to fast. After a first lap she slowly ran a little faster as her muscles began to warm through. ." what else will we be doing as you haven't told me much?" 

She said as she called out to him in front, frowning on how far in front  he was to her. Thinking to herself, this might be a bit more harder than she first thought, but she still had to do it to become stronger. In order to defeat her enemies.

Angelic ran the second then the third lap as she felt the cool air dressing her body and smiled. She realized she enjoyed it and began to relax and loose all thoughts. Keeping the steady pace round the track.
