黒い天使

The Story of Kuroi Tenshi

Chap 1: Something Strange 「之は可笑しなです」
Monday	「月曜日」
	Angel was wandering back to the apart-
ment while it was raining.  The weather was finally 
starting to get nice & then this bout of constant rain 
began.  For almost a week it had been nothing but rain, 
most of the area was flooding, but it wasn’t cold so 
Angel didn’t care.  She felt the rain hit her face as she 
looked up; she had stopped carrying her friend’s 
umbrella a couple of days before.  It was becoming 
too much of a hassle.  She was almost back when 
she just halted.  A feeling of complete & utter 
nirvana swept over her & with in moments it was 
gone like it had never been.  She glanced around to see 
if anyone had been watching her before she started 
again.  When she got back she was greeted by her 
roommate of four months.	
	Angel & her roommate never really talked 
that much anymore.  She had decided this after the 
roomy disappeared for days at a time so she could 
be with Angel’s other good friend.  Those two have 
become quite attached she thought.  Deep down 
this really bothered Angel, but she dare never 
speak of it.  She didn’t want to piss her off & have 
hers be gone all the time.  She was already alone so 
much.  Angel sat her book bag on the floor next to 
the huton & sat down.  Chriss came in from the 
kitchen with a bowl of hot ramen in her hands.  She 
sat down on the other side of the couch & went 
back to watching her soap, Passions.  Angel never 
took much stock in those things, most of the time 
they were too boring for her.  So, instead she laid 
her head back & closed her eyes thinking about 
the moment outside in the driving rain.
	“Oh, someone called for you today,” Chriss 
mentioned, not turning her head away from the TV.
	Angel opened her eyes & looked over at her.  
“Who was it?”
	“I don’t know, but he wanted to know if you 
were here.”
	“He!?  A guy actually called me?  Was it 
Matt?”
	“I don’t think so, I would have recognized 
his voice.  But he did sound hot.”
	“I wonder who it could’ve been.  I usually 
don’t talk to anyone on campus unless I’m in Japanese.  
How very odd...Did he say anything else?” Angel 
wondered.
	“Nope.  Just asked if you were here.  Almost 
seems like a stalker.”
	“Oh, great.  That’s just what I need, another 
stalker.”
	Chriss just shrugged & was lost again in the 
land of soaps.
	Angel got up & laid down on Chriss’s bed 
being the only bed in the room.  That was the only 
big problem with this place, that it wasn’t big enough 
for two people.
	Angel closed her eyes & was lost in a world 
of half answered questions.  Who was the man that 
asked for her?  She really couldn’t answer that since 
she only knew a handful of people between school & 
the club.  She wondered how they got the apartment 
number since she only told her friend, Mary from class.  
The more she thought about it the more confused & 
worried she became.  Soon enough, it was time to set 
out into the rain again.
	It wasn’t long at all before she was on main 
campus again.  She was about a third of the way there 
when someone came out of nowhere & bumped past 
here.  She flipped her head around only to see the back 
of a man with long black hair.  This seemed strangely 
familiar to Angel, but she didn’t know anyone with 
long hair, that long hair, that long anyways.  It wasn’t 
even the fact that it was long that unnerved her; it was 
the way it was done.  It was all tied back with a light 
blue wrap & the hair itself seemed to shine with a tint 
of blue despite the rain & clouds.
	Angel swiftly turned back around & continued 
on a little faster than before.  Finally, she reached Japanese 
class on the other side of campus.  With the events that 
had just taken place, Angel found herself not being able 
to concentrate on class at all.  When she got a moment, 
she would ask Mary if she knew anything.  It wouldn’t 
be to long before she got her chance.
	“ねマリさん, did you happen to give out the 
apartment number I gave to you?"
	“No, I don’t think so.  I’ve kept that number where 
I’m staying & no one comes over.  Why do you ask?”
	“Someone called there earlier today asking for me.  
They didn’t leave a name or a message.  It was the weirdest 
thing.”
	“That is strange.  Do you think it could be a stalker?” 
Mary questioned.
	“I don’t know.  I hope not.  This whole thing just 
seems really weird.”
	“I’ll let you know if I find out anything.”
	“Thanks a bunch.  See ya, later.”
	“じゃまた！” Mary said as she waved & walked off 
to her car.  Angel just stood there a moment, thinking.  What 
if it really is a stalker?  I’ve never had a real stalker before, 
unless you count J.  But I don’t think he went so far.  What 
am I going to do!?
	When Angel got back home, she found Chriss was 
gone again.  She had one more class tonight & she was hoping 
it would go smoothly.  This class always seemed to give her 
trouble.  It went quickly & uneventfully.  & by now the clouds 
that rolled in were black & menacing.  The rain was coming 
down in think heavy sheets.  Angel could barely see in front 
of her.  She started out on to the street which separated the 
apartment from the school.  Suddenly, a truck’s lights were 
coming towards her, that’s all she could really see the rain 
was so bad.  She froze like a deer seems to so many times 
when facing the same problem.  The next thing she knew 
as she prepared to be hit when she felt herself flying through 
the air.  & was suddenly on the ground of the other side of 
the street.  Soaking wet, she sat up, what am I doing over 
here?  She got up quickly & ran the rest of the way back 
to the apartment.
