Fallen Angels~ Chapter 1.1

"The chosen one is alive" a deep voice said from behind the light grey cloak, his face obscured save for his eyes that glowed. 
"We must find the child before the Mundanes do" a lovely lady in black and silver said, "Umi, summon the High Council"
"Yes, that's what I'm doing right now, Tsuki" a dark figure, emerged from the shadows leaning his back against the wall.  His name is Umi, the tall and lean figure seemed to be deep in thought but was in fact summoning the 13 members of the high council.  He was its head and high chairman but it was always the Three Pillars who made the final decision. The long haired figure seemd to be deep in thought but the other two Elders.  Taiyou, was the eldest and the keeper of the pact between the "fallen angels" and "children of the light".  He always wore his cloak not to shield himself from light but to sheild others from his power of fire, only the other two have seen him without his cloak.  He had black skin and fiery eyes, the most powerful of the Three Elders  The only entities he has no control over, were the Mundanes.  Tsuki, the lady of the dark side of the moon.  She takes care of the Nobilities of the High Court, who in turn,  take care of the sires and fledgelings.  And most importantly, the code of all fallen angels.  Always dressed impeccably in black, its what some some people would call Yakuza .  They are the Three Pillars of the Dark.  They represent order in spite of the evil that is always connected to them by folklore.  It was the Mundanes, who are the real threat to the balance between good and evil.

The Mundanes, used to be members of the high council.  They have turned away from the Dark Veil and have gone out of control.  Working under, Lady Yomi, the Mundanes have spread havoc and panic.  Police and other authorities are left puzzled by the string of mysterious deaths not only in Tokyo but also in many far off prefectures in Japan. 

"How long until they get here?" Taiyou asked, stealthily moving towards the fireplace at the far end of the room, like flashes of black at certain intervals till he reached the obsidian on the mantle.  He touched it and it turned from black to blood red and cleared.  He saw figures within, moving in haste.
"They're here..." Umi answered in his low voice, not looking up to meet Selena's gaze.
"How lovely" Tsuki said softly, "its been a long time since I've seen the Children."  Her Children were those in the High Council she took care of over the millennia as she changed into a sleek black cat and retreating into the dark corridor.
"Let's start then" Taiyou, holding the obsidian, he blazed like a fireball before going up in smoke.  Umi's skin became a glassy transparent, loosing its form and melted away.
In the dark boardroom, the long table was filled with the nobles of the High Council. At the head of the table were three steel high chairs of  the Pillars.  Tsuki changed back into her true form and sat on the far left, Umi's liquid state turned opaque until he returned to himself seated on the chair on the far right and Taiyou just flared into the room and assumed his seat in the center of the other two.  The obsidian he carried flew from his hand and levetated to the silver skull in the middle of the table, turning to a blood red before being enveloped by a dark smoke. 

"The coven may now commence," the elder spoke," please explain the reason we summoned them, Tsuki."
"Ahh, yes.  Thank you, Taiyou" the lovely woman stood up and reached out her hand for the obsidian, her emotions well hidden through hooded lids.  A sly smile appeared on ther lips as the orb cleared from being blood red, glowed and showed two figures.  The legend of the chosen one unfolded before them.
"As we all know, there is a child born to save this world from the War of the Ancients.  In the real world of humans, it has been catalouged as battles and wars of countries.  But is truly between the Mundanes and the Childen of Light.  We, as the Elders have seen this all since the beginning of time.  We have been set by the Good One to keep his Fallen Angels from doing more harm and to keep the Mundanes at bay. 

Although for the time being, the Mundanes are kept within their boundaries, nothing will truly hold them back from another uprising.  You may have already heard from reports of the mass deaths in the lower provinces that have been documented as a disease outbreak.  I know a lot of you are skeptical and I can understand this since it is the work of Lady Yomi.  Her legion has increased over the years, we are looking at a huge army now.  Only the chosen one can stop them." Tsuki showed them flashes of what was happening as she said them before turning to Umi.  He nodded as Tsuki sat back down, letting the obsidian rest back on the silver skull, remaining clear as he stood up to speak.
"Well, as the Mundanes grow, out time is running out.  I think minna had felt the great force emmenated like a ripple from the middle of the city.  It means that the Chosen One has begun its awakening.  We need warriors to retrieve the Chosen One and help fully awaken," Umi's brow was set as he spoke.  His profile was that of an athlete, his stance was met with attention from the Children at the table.
"From which Jimousho will the warriors come from?" Lady Ayaka asked.  Her warriors were one of the most talked about in the industry.  In the human world the warriors and sires were seen and presented as teen idols.  But she also knew that their prowess wasn't as honed as those of Lord Kitagawa's Samurais.  SMAP, who were the ones who searched and found the Obsidian and returned it to the Pillars.  KATTUN, whose specialty was quick sting operations, saved an important foreign dignitary from terrorists.  Now it seems that Lord Kitagawa's samurais have earned the trust of Umi and the rest of the High Council.
"We shall decide that the usual way, its not only upon the Pillars to choose but also on the High Council.  Each member must cast their vote within the hour.  And as in the ways of old, we shall send in our scrolls to the Scribe and it shall be tallied according to House or now known as Jimousho" the svelte shapeshifter replied and the rest of the members nodded solemnly.  But everyone knew who will get the mission as all the members cast their vote.  Nods and discreet congratulatory smiles were already directed at Lord Kitagawa, who smiled and nodded back nonchalantly as one by one, the lords and ladies of the High Council cast their votes.

You can hear the thounderous voices of the fangirls as the five idols of Arashi walked away from the stage and towards their dressing room.

Drenched in sweat, they took off their concert tee-shirts and jeans, leaving only their lycra shorts.
"Yoooosh!" , Nino arched his back and streched.  The strain on his back eased a bit, he had to do his rounds with the others tonight.  Concert or no concert, they protected the area designated to them.  Tonight was his favorite spot, Shinjuku Station and its neighboring areas.  He was going to sneak up behind Riida when Sho-kun caught his attention.  Riida was murmuring something even if he seemed to be staring into space, they joked about it in interviews but it was really one of Riida's abililties as a Kyuketsuki Samurai for the Jimousho.  Johnny Kitagawa found very few kyuketsuki who can double as seers.  There had to be one of them per group and he had to be the leader, so that Lord Kitagawa can summon the whole unit without causing any fuss.  Righ now, Sho- who was also just in his lycra shorts-touched Riida.  The sencond-in-command, he can see but only if he touched the person and if he concentrated enough.  Beads of sweat slowly trickled from the rapper's already strained body.  Dripping from his forehead, down his cheek and chin to fall onto his chiseled chest.  He seemed like he was jsut closing his eyes but the other's knew better.  Jun, wanted to do the same thing but knew he had to wait, they would tell the rest what was up.  Aiba was somber, a stark contrast from his genki smiles and baka remarks on stage.  He had to put on that mask, like the rest of them have.  Aiba was really funny when he put his mind to it.  Sho was both serious and dorky but was really an angsty guy.  Ohno who seemed to be stoic, was the thinker and always considered what the others thought before making a final decision.  Jun, who seemed to be aloof and diva-ish, was truly a good follower even if he really had a stubborn and sadistic streak.  Nino, the prankster and who was always thought to be the gamer otaku, well he WAS that and more.  He always helped plan the attack with the others, he was good at looking at all possible angles of attack and defense. 
Yes, people saw them as idols but behind the glamour and fame, is the truth that the Jimousho was one of the institutions entrusted with keeping.  The Jimousho was headed by one of the members of the High Court.  In the underground scene of Japan, it was a government of sorts, keeping the darkness and light apart and for order to prevail. 
Sho let go of Riida's shoulder, his eyes opened to reveal amber eyes.  Pupils dilated to see something from afar but the vision was nowhere in sight but a hazy film in his horizon., he looked at Riida, who was still murmuring something under his breath.  Sho knew they must get ready, they had work to do and nodded at Aiba.  The tallest member touched Jun and Nino's shoulders, they knew already that they were being summoned by Lord Kitagawa.  They needed to move fast, no time for a quick shower but Jun was like a flash and blinked himself in the bathroom.  Aiba shook his head in dismay, that kid relly had to freshen up before the leave or he'd be blabbering all the way to the Jimousho. 

Riida snapped awake and his eyes dimmed from amber to brown, their normal color.  He was pale with all the concentration but still walked over to where Sho was trying to tell his personal assistant that they had "extra work tonight".  Roxy knew what it was already, being assigned to Sho since she started her awakening.  She was a low female Kyuketsuki, eyes of emerald green when she changed but can defend herself well.  Now her brown eyes said nothing nor gave anything away, just a nod that she understood.  Arashi was on the prowl, but with the way that her master looked, it was serious and heavier responsibility.  Nino, took off his lycra shorts and underwear and took a big handtowel he had wrung water out of and started cleaning himself.  Aiba had finished doing the same thing and was already in his dark jeans and a dark hoodie over a sweater he picked.  The personal assistants and the rest of the staff were oblivious to their conversation and movements.  They were important Kyuketsuki Samurais, and must not be bothered.

"I'll go on ahead minna.  Matta ne"  He just winked and disappeared but to the trained Kyuketsuki eyes, he walked faster than any human could see.  Riida's eyes followed his group mate's movent out the door that nobody noticed, had opened and closed without a sound.  Only they heard a very faint click.  Ohno had stripped as well to clean himself of the days' work and strains.  Sho saw the lights flicker from under the bathroom door.  Jun was going out so he stood up and grabbed the youngest member's wrist, "You know we're in a hurry Jun-kun!"
"Mah..mah..its the same every since time anyway..just patrolling anf stuff!" he shrugged and tried to walk away.
"Next time you do this Jun-kun, Riida will take care of you" Sho nodded towards Ohno who was more stoic than ever but just nodded without looking at them.
"Matsumoto-kun, there are days you have to think of others as well ne.  We have to look after each other and we're responsible for you ne.  Just please don't do that again" Ohno's voice was loud and clear and very sure of himself.  A true leader than he really let on to the public.  Sho patted Jun's back,"Go on just get ready ne, we have a big one ahead tonight"
"Fine.  Fine." the langky man got dressed in jeans and a loose tee. 
"Haiyaku ne, Matsujun!" Nino was waiting near the door in his baggy jeans, dark shirt and cap before donning a blue trench.
"HAI!" he hated being told what to do and grumpily got dressed as Sho stripped and rubbed his body clean.  Jun wore slim fit pants, a poloshirt and an argyle scarf.  He was reaching for his gray jacket when a smirk on his lips appearead.  He walked over to Nino and they left the room. 

Riida was already in his bootleg jeans and white turtleneck before pulling on his sports jacket, " I'll see you in a while Sho-chan"
The rapper nodded as his hands reached for his clothes.  Almost the same thing as Riida's only his jeans were baggier and his yellow hoodie showed over the dark sports coat he was shrugging on.  He just walked to the open door and braced himself.  His speed was not seen by therest of the world as he was soon outside Lord Kitagawa's office in Shibuya-ku.  They had to talk first before they go in.
