When Ohno left Aisling looked at Puck. He looked like he was deep in thought they way he had his arms crossed but he looked funny floating upside down in the air. Then emotions radiated from him strong and clear and flowed over Aisling. She shook her head as she concentrated on not letting the outside emotions overwhelm her.
“Aisling!”
Mari and Kaki entered the room. Their emotions hit Aisling this time twice as hard as there were two of them. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“Are you alright? You suddenly look like you’re in pain.”
Aisling looked at Mari and smiled grimly. “Yeah I’m fine…I’m kind of tired…weird sense I just woke up.” She looked down and saw her card case was placed on her bed. She picked it up and hugged it to her chest. She could sense them all very clearly and somehow she could hear them whispering to her; telling her that they missed her and they’re proud of her. She smiled and felt like she could cry again.
“Hey Blondies!” Puck said zooming over to Mari and Kaki. “I’d actually missed you two! How you’ve been? Are you two a couple yet?” He laughed at their reaction. “Just kidding dudes.”
“Ugh!” Aisling groaned loudly and held her head like she was having a bad headache.
“Aisling?!”
“Are you alright?”
“Should I get a nurse?”
Aisling shook her head and took deep breaths. “I’m fine…crap…I’m sensing a lot of emotions and they’re not just spirits but the living. I couldn’t sense the living’s emotions this strongly before why is this happening?”
“Oh I know,” Puck said patting a fist into his palm and nodding. “Your Empathic powers grew stronger when you become an angel.”
“I guess that makes sense…” Aisling said. There were others things that she could sense. She could sense people’s auras or mana very clearly. She immediately picked up the ones she recognized. I can sense Emiko, Nino, Matsu, even Elle and Aiba. I can sense that Ohno guy is walking down the hall. Wait someone’s coming…
Just then they heard a knock and a large muscular young man stood in the door way. Aisling stared at him and recoiled when she faintly sensed a very old spirit hidden deep inside the man. Was he possessed? But for something told her that wasn’t it.
“Hello,” He said. He looked at each of them in turn before his eyes fell on Aisling. “I am Sho Sakurai. I’m a friend of Nino’s and Matsu’s.”
“Aw man don’t tell me you’re another one?” Puck piped up causing Sho to look at him.
“What do you mean?” Mari asked Puck and looked at the man in confusion.
“A shaman…and a Vessel…I think,” He muttered and looked at Aisling. He saw how she was looking at the man and nodded. “Uh huh he is one.”
Aisling remembered something about Vessels but wasn’t sure what they were. She looked at Sho, “Is there something you want, sir?”
Sho shook his head, “No,” He said. “It’s good to see you chose to stay on Earth.” Aisling blinked and smiled. “I am going to check up on Nino, Matsu and Emiko. I’ll tell them you said hello.”
“Okay thank you,” said Aisling smiling.
Sho nodded and turned to walk down the hall.
“Tell the Emo shaman and that Ai-ai guy I said thanks!” Puck called after them. “Me and the card spirits are very grateful to them. If it wasn’t for those two we would be trapped in Limbo.”

Áine was looking for Michael. She knew where he was exactly. And in a second she appeared next to him hovering above the hospital.
“Michael!” Áine shouted furiously. “How could you not tell me?!”
The arch angel looked at her with his usual calm and tranquil expression. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you,” he said gently.
The red head angel glared at him and shook her head. “You knew from the start…you gave me the cards after I was reborn into an angel again and told me they would protect Aisling until she was strong enough to protect herself.”
“I did say that.”
“Hah! But left out that the cards were created to protect and train angels to be and you also left out the part she was destined to become a Guardian.”
“Well I never lie you know…” He said his smile looked innocent but his eyes sparked with mischief.
“But you on purposely leave things out,” Áine sighed and let out a small laugh. “You haven’t changed.” Michael laughed with her.
Áine looked serious again. “But how did you know? You even knew she choose to stay on Earth.”
“Ah Áine you should have know that. She cares about her loved ones to much to leave them behind for Heaven.”
Michael looked down at the hospital below them. “I also know about the Unknown…” He said thoughtfully. “I knew its existence when Aisling made her choice.”
“And you didn’t tell me before,” Áine muttered. Then she slapped her forehead in aggravation. “I let that shaman have it! What was I thinking?!”
“It’s fine. I am positive the shamans will not use it against Heaven. The demons are they’re main priority.”
“Hmm that shaman seemed like he had his own agenda for it,” Áine murmured
Michael raised an eye brow but didn’t appear bothered by this news. He merely smiled, “Whatever happens is met to happen. We are all characters in one great tale and we make the universe move on no matter what role we play.”
Áine looked at him and nodded. He was very wise and knowing and was much older than her and as old as the angels of the Seraphim Choir. He knew more than she did but she found it irritating when he held back important information but she understood why. Michael believed that for some it’s best to not know and just have faith.
“I should continue to look for the others,” Michael mused after several moments of silence. “I have already met Melody and Gabriel…now I’m looking for James and Nori…I heard they’re both here on Earth. First I think I’ll visit Mr. Ryuu’s home.”
“Ryuu?” Áine said staring at him confused. “The moratorium?”
Michael nodded and smiled knowingly. “Yes his mother is an arch angel.”
~*~
:D yay! I finished! I was a bit stuck with Sho but I think I did good at least I hope ^^’
So I guess Michael might go visit Ryuu’s house to talk to Nori. Oooh I would love to see what happens when Asa meets Michael! XD
I think Áine should take Mari and Kaki home as it’s suppose to be late at night in the story
And Aisling’s Empathic power has increase majorly it might be like when Pru from Charmed gets Empath powers and goes a little crazy because she’s overwhelmed o.O
I hope you guys liked it ^___^
