Scene II: Black-Winged Keeper
Back at Yuki’s room, Jurina was sitting on the ground trembling in fear as the Yuki turned into her black mode. She was threatening Jurina to spill out everything that she had to know.
“E-Eh…w-where should I start first…”
“Who is Yuko-san and how did you have those wings?” Yuki asked and it made Jurina gulped, she sighed out softly and started to explain to the black princess.
“He’s a werewolf…and I’m an archangel, whom was your guardian.”
“So…you’re a non-human?” Yuki frowned as she asked back.
“I’m actually a half archangel…my body is originally a human, but I was chosen by the higher ups in heaven to become your archangel guardian.” Jurina elaborated her situation but then it didn’t stop Yuki from shooting more questions at her.
“So why is Yuko-san after me?” Yuki asked and it made Jurina sighed once again, the archangel didn’t want to explain this but she wasn’t left any choice but to tell her what she knew.
Yuko, and definitely other non-human creatures would be coming after Yuki, because she’s not an ordinary human. According to Jurina, she wasn’t told the reason why those non-humans were going after Yuki but then it seemed there was a crisis going on among the non-human community and with Yuki’s special power, it would help restore their clan.
“My powers…?”
“Your power to heal, remember?” Jurina reminded her best friend once again and it made Yuki realized it. She did have this special power since she could ever remember. “That’s what they wanted from you, the angels said that you’re a reincarnation of goddess of life, but I don’t know anything in detail, my job is to protect you from them. ”
“…”
“I-I’m sorry Yukirin…I hope to tell you more, but that’s all I know but I’m just a guardian…” Jurina looked down on the floor with guilt and then the princess crouched down to stroke her head gently. “Yukirin…”
“I think I pretty much get what’s going on, so what about this wife thing that Yuko-san said…” Yuki questioned and the look on Jurina’s face told her that she knew what the werewolf boy meant.
“Say it.” She demanded.
“W-Well…the angels told me that in order for non-humans to restore their clan back to prosperity…they need to make child with the goddess of life, which is you.”
Jurina ruffled her head and then she could see Yuki froze after her friend told her the truth. The archangel stared at her friend but she wasn’t moving an inch. “Eh…Yukirin?”
“EH!? A-Are you serious!?” Yuki’s exaggerating reaction appeared and her eyes appeared like to be gushed out. She couldn’t hold back her shock and shook her head around with consecutive sighs. “Ugh…Why weird things always happen to me!”
“I-I’m sorry!” Jurina apologized quickly.
“Oh jeez Jurina it’s not your fault.” Yuki replied and sighed once more. “Let me go have a walk for a minute…ALONE too.”
“B-But outside is dange--…” Jurina didn’t continue as she received a glare from Black, one of Yuki’s alternate personas. The princess left the room immediately and left Jurina there alone. “…rous?”
“Mou…I guess that’s a lot for just one day.” Jurina sighed softly with worries. “I’ll follow her secretly then.”

Yuki was walking alone along the street in her area, heading to this convenience store to buy some sweets to eat in order to calm her down. She grabbed some ice cream and continued her walk, and then she arrived at the park.
“Nyah…”
“Hm?” The voice caught Yuki’s attention and it was an injured cat lying beside the tree. “Ah…you’re injured?”
“Nyah…”
“Let me help you.” Yuki sat down beside the cat and put her hand above it’s head. The vague green sparkling aura was formed around her hand and slowly flowed towards the injured cat. Its wounds and scars slowly healed up in extreme speed. Just few seconds, the wounds were completely healed. “There you go.”
“Nyah~”
The cat ran away as Yuki looked at it from behind silently before she stared back at her own palm. “So just because they want this power?” She recalled what Jurina told her about Yuko-san and other non-humans that would try to capture her to make her their bride in order to restore the prosperity of their clan. It’s not that she wanted this power either to begin with, after she realized about this gift she had, her body had grown weaker and weaker, maybe it was a side-effect of this healing powers she had.
“Ah~ Finally we’ve found you!” A group of thugs came up to her with a very suspicious look on their face. “Do you want to come with us?”
“…Not interested.” Yuki replied back immediately but then those boys spread out to corner her around. “Let me go.”
“Nope~ until we take you to our leader…” The man smirked as he revealed his burning red eyes and fangs. They were non-humans, they knew who Yuki was and they’re trying to abduct her to their leader. “Come with us, princess!”
“N-No!”
“Then you leave us no choice…”
Suddenly, Yuki could feel the surge of dark intimidating aura from the red-eyed man, but before he had a chance to leap in towards her, he suddenly fell onto the ground with this huge cute across his back. It made everyone surprised, including Yuki, as there was this tall man that joined the scene.
“W-Who are you!?” The injured demon muttered but the man didn’t reply anything. His eyes were extremely cold and silent that even made Yuki felt terrified a little. “Attack him!”
Everyone dashed towards him but then his expression didn’t change a bit. He disappeared and just appeared again right behind everyone.
“G-Gah!” Everyone got attacked by a mysterious weapon and gave them countless wounds across their body. “Y-You…!”
“Leave.” He uttered and created this huge tense atmosphere around him that pressured those non-humans that tried to capture Yuki. They had decided to retreat and left Yuki with this mysterious man that saved her. He turned to her and approached her closely. Yuki closed her eyes tightly with fear but then realized again, the man was stroking her head gently.
“Are you injured?”
His voice was very gentle and calm. Yuki looked back up at the tall man and she could see the calmness in his pure black orbs, yet it was also quietly gentle. “Glad that you’re alright. Do be more careful next time…I believe that duke’s minions started to move.”
She looked up towards the guy and spoke something that Yuki didn’t really understand much. “Thank you, uh…”
“Everyone calls me Ren.” He replied and it made me smiled back to him.
“I see, thank you Ren-san.”
But before any of their conversation would continue, suddenly, a wind shockwave flew towards the man and caused Ren to be surprised. “…!”
An archangel finally appeared and stood in between Yuki and the mysterious man. “Glad that I made it on time…”
“Jurina?” Yuki got confused since Jurina was in her archangel mode, her wings were visible as well as her white naginata. “W-Wait! Why are you in that form!?”
“You managed to hide your non-human aura from me…you’re really something.” Jurina uttered as she pointed her naginata at the man that saved Yuki. “Who are you? Spill it, non-human.”
“E-Eh?” Yuki was shocked to learn that the Ren wasn’t a human.
“I didn’t have any intention to harm Kashiwagi-sama…” He replied and he actually knew Yuki’s name as well. It made Yuki surprised and realized that this man was the same as Yuko. “I, the headmaster of Black Tengu clan…Matsui Ren, it is honored to meet with you Kashiwagi-sama.”
“Black-winged Tengu…I heard quite a lot of stories regarding you.” Jurina uttered softly. “The black guardian were known to protect peace in human world, yet, you’re after Yukirin as well…”
Ren looked away with that calm emotionless expression before he turned back to them. “I wouldn't allow anyone to harm Kashiwagi-sama. Our clan protects humans, and no matter what I will always protect her from all dangers.”
“But still, you seek her for powers, don’t you?” Jurina pushed right into the main point of the subject. “You’re no different from that werewolf…”
“There isn’t a choice for our clan either…” He couldn’t deny the truth that he’s just the same as Yuko, which his objective was to take Yuki as his bride. “Don’t mistake me with that low filthy werewolf, and if I could avoid hurting Kashiwagi-sama…I would choose that path.”
“…You’re such a weird tengu.” Jurina lowered her defense down a little. “You don’t seem to have interest in taking Yukirin away.”
“...” He remained in silence before he decided to walk away.
“W-Wait!” Yuki called him and made Ren stumbled. “Ren-san…thank you for saving me back there.”
“…I’ll always protect you, Kashiwagi-sama.” He had that vague smile across his face before he disappeared into thin air, only what was left was a single black feather.
Yuki started to realize that this was something that she couldn’t really escape from. Too many supernatural things happened and she had no choice but to believe, and live with it.
“…” Yuki sighed loudly, entering her Black mode. She just stumbled away. “Mou! This is so annoying! I’m going home!”
“A-Ah! Yukirin wait for me!” Jurina ran after her master as they were heading back towards their home together.
Yuki sighed again softly as she recalled her encounter with Yuko and Ren. She just wanted a simple ordinary life like any other people would have. However, she couldn’t escape from her faith, but despite all of that, she didn’t seem to be aware of the consequences of that would happen from now on…
