"W-What's going on?" Naruto asked as he walked into the warehouse he and the other angels meet up at. They all hovered around a battered Neji. Naruto's eye widened as he ran over to them. Neji sported a black eye, his mouth practically sliced at the corners  from ear to ear. His wings were removed and engraved on his back was the satanic star. Naruto gasped.

"God, Neji What happend to you?" Naruto asked looking down at Neji.

"A-A Devil." He staggers. "Na-Naruto, th-their in the c-club you go to."

Naruto blinked. "Neji what they look like?!"

"Humans." Neji answers. "Th-They look like humans." He breathed. "Naruto please be careful."

"We have to get him medical attention."

Naruto blew out a breath. "No, take him back to heaven."

"Naruto!"

"HE SHOULDNT BE HERE!" Naruto screamed making them all jump. "Look at him, his body is decaying already. Get him back to heaven. He was lucky to get away. I can't put any of you guys in danger anymore. I—Neji I'm— I'm sorry."

"Just promise me you'll be careful Naruto." Neji speaks barely above a whisper. Naruto nods.

"I promise." He looks at the other angels. "Take him, please."

Nodding, the angels flapped their wings and vanished, leaving traces of pearl white feathers behind. Naruto began to shake in anger.

"I should've walked him to the exit." He says. "I shouldve made sure he made it out of there safely. This is my fault."

"No it isn't." Hinata's soft voice called out to Naruto before he had the chance to slip into depression. "I begged Neji not to follow you but he did it anyway. He thought you weren't just messing around and not getting anything done."

"It still doesn't justify me leaving him alone like that Hinata." Naruto argues. "Most of these angels are here in their true form because they dont have the powers to live in a human body." Naruto's eyes travel towards the woodened floor. "His life force would've diminished in a human body. He should've stayed yes, but I still should've seen him t the exit safely. If they devils seen me with him than I'm most likely a target too. And because you've been with me, you're in danger too." He looks at Hinata who freezes. "Never leave this building Hinata, do you understand?"

Slowly, Hinata nods.

"Good." He says with a sigh. "I have to come up with a plan. A plan to lure the devils out of their hiding."

"He was with Naruto you said." Sasuke asks Karin. They sat in the empty club on the second level, discussing last night's events. "So that means that Naruto knew him."

"They called eachother by name." Karin continues. "He looked at Naruto disappointingly. Like he didn't want him in here and Naruto looked confused as to why the angel was here in the first place."

"Do you think he's possibly an angel too?" Itachi asks looking over at Sasuke.

"That's impossible." Sasuke says. "He smells like a human. He even has a human heartbeat. His skin is warm. Maybe, maybe he was raised in a church and that angel was his guardian. There are some things Christians say that may lead is to believing that they're angels. But they're just really religious."

"The angel was really appalled that I insinuated him being gay." Karin says thinking.

"And when I told Naruto about it, he was calm, yet still stated that men arent to lay together. But his reasoning is for the growth of the population, not God."

"So how does he know the angel?" Sotiria asked.

Silence engulfed them.

"Humans can't tell angels and devils from themselves. To them, we look like them." Shikamaru says lazily. "Naruto probably doesnt know that the angel was an angel. Naruto coming here all the time probably raised suspicion to the angel and he had to come and see why was Naruto here. Of course this is full of sin so the Angel was disgusted in Naruto. Naruto being—well—Naruto, he was confused as to why someone so religious was in here. Hence why he was so confused seeing the angel."

"Be on the look out for more angels." Sasuke says. "I'll handle Naruto."

"That goes without saying." Itachi says causing the others to snicker. Sasuke frowned.

"Kiss my ass." He huffs before standing to his feet. "I'll talk to him and see what this business is with that angel. We'll meet back up tomorrow morning and discuss this. We have to get to the bottom of this. Immediately."
