The Fallen

The family reunion slash dinner party was a huge success. Mama and Grandpa with the rest of our relatives hugged, kissed and said their goodbyes. Mark and I went back in time for the cleaning the dishes out. We helped along with the five staff my Mama hired for Villa Sun. They have been with us for a decade and they seemed to love working with us. Mama treats them like family. Tanami, is the villa's hospitality and cleaning head responsible for the suites sheets, linens, sanitizing, etc. Mitsuho, who married Tanami joined by their son, Toko, are the IT (dealer/sender) and construction heads, responsible for the maintaining the beauty and grandeur of the villa, plus, the internet has major impact on the advance-ment changes that helped the villa's popularity known all though out Japan, soon the world.

Kokoa, the lovely lady that helped with the cooking, is a home grown chef, but studied in Kyoto mastering in cookery and baking pastries. The all the more reason why I love her coffee and cakes always. Thus, staying at the café, make me wish I can just live here forever. That's how good her baking and coffee is to me. And, the ever creative Sansuo, who have lived his 40 years as a farmer, but hired by Mama to be the villa's gardener and all around person responsible for beautifying our gardens, farm and plants surrounding the villa.

I am proud of this team and I am thankful for my extended family. Kochiko has changed and I appreciate her concern for me. Hmm! I wonder what happenedto her in the states. Anyway, Mark or Mortha left this morning to do his mission on earth. I wonder too where is he now and what's happening with him? Belle in a thought while checking on the book list for sales and all.

Mark, the angel, flew higher and the weather changed a bit and it's colder than usual. Hmm! Where am I, ah! New York!. He was so fast, faster than a speed of light when he reached California. Oh! Kochiko!, I thought she was in Japan on vacation.

Kochi!!!!, Start walking, 1, 2, 1, 2....come on, you can do better than that!...., the trainer shouting from the top of his lungs. Okay!!!, join in girls, .....and let's wrap it up. See you tomorrow for the show. Wow!, she travelled 11 hours just to be back in L.A., Mark stayed in L.A. for a while. He followed Kochiko who is now walking to a hotel. Maybe it's her flat. Mark was looking from afar her window. Then a middle aged man came in her room and kissed her. But Kochiko was in no mood so she refused. Yet the man was persistent and forced himself holding Kochiko's hands , so she can refuse. Then he pushed her on the bed, and tried to unbutton her blouse. Mark in a flash was already inside the room where the man and Kochiko is.

Stay away from her!, Mark said warning the man. Who, who are you? And where did you come from??, the confused maniac curiously asked while blinded by his light. Kochiko now crying and her hands were trembling from fear while her blouse was torned, her sexy body exposed.

Kochiko will not recognize Mark because he looks different with the wings and his body is covered with enormous light. Unless he wills it, one can see his true identity. But he is not going to jeopardize his relations with Belle and her family by doing so.

Stop this and move away from her!, I will not hurt, but don't do this again, cause I know where you live!, Mark added warning the guy who's now running his way out without even fixing his pants that is down his legs.

Mark saw Kochiko in her poor state still sobbing. He scanned her mind and checked where she knew the guy. The man is a recruiter and he helped Kochiko to be able to enter the modelling agency. He makes out with her and also use her to get clients for money. Poor Kochiko!, Mark said very sad.

Hi!, are you okay? Mark asked Kochiko fixing her self up and trying to stand up to thank Mark by bowing to him. No, don't worry, you were hurt, just rest and I'll be here and stay with you for a bit. Sleep now!, the angel added smiling at Kochiko.

Who, whooo are you?, Kochiko asked gladly. I'm Mortha, an angel and I heard you were in danger so I came to help. Do I know you from somewhere?, she asked looking at his face thought very bright, he is still seen visibly since he is just 5 feet away from Kochiko lying down the bed.

Yes, well, I have seen you before, now go and call your manager and trainer. They need to know about your recruiter. Okay!, and I'll get going to help others. See you around Kochiko!, Mark added smiling and he disappeared in front of her. Kochiko was mesmerized and surprised he knew her name. Well he is indeed an angel. Oh I need to contact Harry and Benj!, they need to know what that fuck Gordon did to me. I need to file a complaint with what he did to me, Kochiko said while calling her manager, trainer and the police.

Gordon Gonzalez was convicted of frustrated rape and sexual harassment. He and Kochiko fought on trial after trial until he was imprisoned. There were many girls who he also used for money and sex trade. Kochiko went back to Japan for vacation. She rested there to forget and heal of the trauma she experienced in her recruiters hands.

Mark was glad while he saw what happened through his power of senses and mind. Now he flew from left to right, north, south, east and west. He helped many and gave inspiration to men, women, the youth and families. He was tired and his powers needed replenishing so he decided to go home to Belle. He missed her so much too and he wants to kiss and be with her immediately.

Oh Mark, what are you doing now? Where are you? Do you miss me? I miss you so much!, Belle said while lying on bed. It's pretty late at 11 p.m. until she fell asleep. Mark left for several days and Belle's family started to ask questions. For some reason, Kochiko came home for a vacation and now it's definite. She will be back in L.A. after a week or two.

Mark flew down in front of Belle's house. He has his own key on the garage. He knows that Belle and everyone is already asleep. He was so tired anyway, so he needed sleep and recuperate from all the power escaping him due to the issues, problems he needed to solve for the humans he encountered in the past few days.

**************************************************************************************

Belle has no idea Mark is already home. Mark is on the bed sleeping soundly without even changing his clothes that is so dirty and worn. Shita, on the other hand came down the garage and opened Mark's room. She is just curious about Mark thou she knows he is still out somewhere. But with her great shock...Oh my! Mark is already home, he is so stinky, uh uh, I need to tell Belle, she'll be so happy, Shita added running out of the room back up the first floor. Belle just woke up and heating breakfast. Belle!!!!!, ha, ha, haaah!, Mar...MArrkkkk is home!, Shita said catching her breath and very excited.

Huh!, Don't lie to me, it's bad to lie, Belle said not believing the little girl. No...I'm telling the truth, go see for your self!, Shita said trying to convince Belle. Okay, If you're telling the truth I'll buy you a delicious strawberry short cake later, hehe!, Belle added touching Shita's nose by her point finger. Eat your breakfast and prepare for school, call Ojichan to join you too. I'll be right back and check up on Mark. Shita agreed nodding her head.

Belle, didn't know what to feel, but she's so excited. Her heart is beating fast. But she's scared at the same time on how to approach Mark. She still has the reservation that she shouldn't fall for this angel for she knows he'll be gone or go back to where he really belongs in the future.

Belle saw Mark and out of pitty, she hugged him though he is laying flat on the bed, his back revealing the dirt, torned top and bruises. Where did he go and how did this happen to him? He is an angel..but? Belle now teary-eyed, tried to wake Mark but he didn't budge. He must be pretty exhausted from the flying, Belle told her self. She then took Mark's shirt off, even his pants and underwear. Her face turning red seeing the whole handsome body of this masculine and hot angel in front of her.

She went to the bathroom on the right side of the bed and got a pail with water and sponge to clean Mark's body. He is still asleep and he can't feel the lightest thing Belle is doing for him. She then tried to lift Mark's body to clean his front side. After a heavy lift she was able to do it and gently touched using the sponge Mark's face, neck, down to the chest, erhmm!!, Belle clearing her throat while blushing seeing Mark's naked body.
