Misaki's POV

"I'm impressed. You're walking in your mother's footsteps. I'm very proud of you." Father said. I was sitting at my father's throne, helping every demon in need. "Thank you, Father. I feel that this is my duty as the daughter of the demon who granted everyone's wishes." I said emotionlessly as he stood beside me.

The next demon came up to me with an infant in their hands. "Please, my baby is sick. She won't awake from her slumber. I fear there might be something wrong with her." The female demon said.

I looked at her as my elbow rested on the arm rest while my knuckles held my cheek, my legs crossed. "Is that your wish? Is your wish to heal your little demon?" I asked emotionlessly. "Yes." The mother answered.

I uncrossed my legs and leaned forward a bit so I got a closer look at the infant. I placed my hand over the infant's chest as my hand began to glow a gold color. I made the glowing stop and the infant opened her eyes, then began to cry.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." The mother thanked. I gave a nod as she left. "I wish I could express emotion." I said to Father. "Cerberus can help with that. Cerberus." Father called. "Yes, Lord Lucifer?" She asked as she appeared in front of him.

"Make an antidote for Misaki so her emotions can return to normal." Father ordered. "Yes, Lord Lucifer." Cerberus replied, bowing her head. She disappeared as blue flames surrounded her. "Misaki, why are you in your angel form?" Father asked.

"I just feel more comfortable in this form. I want to conserve my energy for when I want to fly later on in my demon form." I answered. I really do want to fly again, but I also don't want to scare the humans in my demon form.

For the next few hours, I granted more and more wishes from my fellow demons. I didn't mind because I enjoyed granting wishes. But I also wanted to grant the humans their wishes. That's when I got an idea.

I'm thinking about opening a shop in the Human Realm. A shop where anyone's wishes can be granted. However, I don't think Father would approve of my idea, seeing how he doesn't want me around humans so much.

He's like Azazel; He thinks I'll grow too attached to them and something bad could happen to me. Oh, well. Women into wishing, right?

I was still sitting at my father's throne. No demons have come to me about their wish. I guess they're okay. I relaxed on the throne before creating a mirror to see into the Human Realm. I saw Sakura brushing her short hair, making me smile.

I smiled. "Father, I'm going outside." I informed as exited the room. I transformed into my demon form, then dashed into the sky. I soared past clouds and birds as I flew through the sky. "Enjoying the breeze, I take it?"

I turned around, spotting my brother flying behind me. "What are you doing here, Brother?" I demanded. "What? Can't a brother spend time with his sister?" He asked. "Not unless they were sent here by Father." I replied.

"Don't be such a baby. He's only looking after you."

"I already told you. I don't want to be treated like a child."

"You technically are a child."

I rolled my eyes and looked at a small mountain, noticing Kakashi climbing it with one hand. I didn't think Azael and I were that close to the Leaf Village. I flew down to him to see if he was okay. "Are you okay, Kakashi?" I asked, floating behind him.

Kakashi got startled since he didn't know I was behind him and accidentally left go of the ledge, beginning to fall. "Kakashi!" I quickly swooped down and caught him. "Sorry about that. I guess you didn't see me." I said emotionlessly as I held him from underneath his arms.

"Yeah. So, you're flying, I see." Kakashi noticed. "Yeah. My father reattached my wing." I said. "Right... Uh, could we not talk about this while you're holding me from my death?" Kakashi requested in a sheepish tone.

I flew to the top of the mountain and set him on his feet. "Tch. What do you think you were doing climbing this mountain with one hand, human?" Azazel demanded. "Azazel, be nice." I said to him. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm actually meeting someone here." Kakashi answered. "Oh? Who?" I asked. "Hey," I turned around, spotting Sasuke. "Sasuke Uchiha." I stated. "You climbed a mountain one handedly just to meet a kid? Pathetic." Azazel commented.

"Azazel, if you're not going to say anything nice, then go home." I ordered. "I'm not going home without you." He said. "Fine. Then, don't insult anyone else." I said. "Whatever." He replied.

I sighed. "I apologize for my brother's behavior. As you can see, he's not too fond of humans." I said. "Tch." Azazel murmured, his arms crossed over his chest. "How are you doing, Misaki?" Sasuke asked.

"Much better." I answered. I looked at the sky, noticing a hawk. "The Hokage wants to see me. I can trust you to watch Sasuke until I get back?" Kakashi said. "Of course." I answered. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"I'm not a baby, Kakashi." Sasuke said. "Welcome to my world." I said emotionlessly. Kakashi left, leaving me with Azazel and Sasuke. "Sasuke, what is your wish?" I asked out of the blue. "My wish?" Sasuke repeated.

"You better not be saying what I think you're saying." Azazel said. I ignored him and stared at Sasuke. "What is he talking about?" Sasuke asked. Azazel sighed before he spoke. "Misaki has the ability to grant anyone's wish. But for a price." Azazel said.

"There's a price?" I asked.

"Depending on how big the wish is, the price must be equivalent to that wish. Say, a married man who is a father of one child wanted to become the ruler of some sort of kingdom. The price of that wish would be giving up his happiness. In other words, the cost of his wife and child's life." Azazel explained.

I didn't think there would be consequences to having a wish granted. "It's obvious you have your eyes set on one goal, Sasuke Uchiha. What is that goal?" I asked Sasuke. He frowned slightly, which told me was thinking about something serious.

"Need I remind you that if your wish is too great, you'll end up regretting it later." I said. "What do you mean?" Sasuke asked. "You want to get revenge on your brother for what he did to your parents, your people." I said in an emotionless tone.

Sasuke frowned again. "Sasuke Uchiha, you must think about your wish. For if you wish for your brother to be dead, there will be no guarantee that you will regret wishing he was dead. Please think about your wish. I shall return later,"

I walked over to the cliff and stretched out my wings. "Let's go, Brother. We're going home." I said before taking off into the sky. Azazel followed behind me. "You're not really going to grant that human's wish, are you?" He asked.

"I am." I answered.

"Why?"

"Father said that Mom had the ability to grant a human's wish, right? So, that's what I should do, too."

"You sure are taking this to heart, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Just like Mom. Never putting herself in front of others. Always helping people."

"Did you dislike that about Mother?"

"I didn't say that. I'm just saying that you take after her a lot."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Yes."

"Then, thank you."

I flapped my wings as I flew faster, towards home.

Later that day, I spent the rest of my time flying around the area since I didn't have any wishes to grant. "Misaki!" I looked towards my house, spotting Cerberus. I flew over to her. "What's the matter, Cerberus?" I asked her.

"I made you the antidote for your emotions." She informed, handing me a small bottle filled with green liquid. "Thank you, Cerberus. Shall I grant a wish for you in return?" I asked. "No, not at all. You mustn't do that for me." She said.

"Why not?"

"Because my wish has already been granted."

"Huh?"

"My wish was to see you all grown up, Misaki, and it came true. I'm grateful for that."

I smiled at her. "That's so sweet, Cerberus." I said emotionlessly, but was still smiling. I looked down at the liquid filled bottle. "Are you sure this will give me my emotions back?" I asked her. "Absolutely. I guarantee you this antidote will bring you back your emotions." Cerberus assured me.

I twisted off the top, then drank down the green liquid. "The effects should start working in a few hours. Anyway, you should come inside before the sun's starting to set." She advised. "Aww, can I stay out here just a few more minutes?" I asked.

"Not an option," Father appeared behind Cerberus, spreading his wings out. "You need to come inside, Misaki. Your wings won't be able to handle the cold night air." Father said. 'Buzzkill' I thought. "Please? Can I stay out here a little longer? It's not even dark yet." I pleaded.

Father sighed before walking up to me and petting my head. "Fine. I'll give you one more hour. Then, you have to come inside." Father said. "Yes, sir." I said. I flew back into the air, enjoying the soft breeze.

I decided to fly into the village to see if it was dark, and sure enough, it was. Which I found weird because it was still pretty bright back in Hell. I noticed Sasuke was still up and training in his backyard.

"Sasuke Uchiha," I flew down to him and transformed into my angel, or human, form. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked him. "I'm fine." He said quickly as he continued to train. "You're exhausting yourself." I noticed. 

Sasuke ignored me as he continued to train hard. I could tell he was frustrated, eager, and determined. "Sasuke," I called, but he kept training his butt off. "Sasuke," I tried again, but he kept training.

At this rate, he'll pass out from exhaustion. "Sasuke," I grabbed his shoulder from behind and he turned his head so he was looking at me. "Sasuke, please. Take it easy." I pleaded emotionlessly. Sasuke stared at me with a frown before sighing.

We sat down on the deck, gazing at the starry sky. "You train too hard, Sasuke. Aren't you afraid you might overdo it?" I asked him. "I don't care. I just have to get stronger." He said. I sighed. "Your eagerness for revenge is what's making you this way. It's getting in the way-"

"In the way of what? My goal?" Sasuke interrupted. "It's getting in the way of your training. It's distracting you. The more you think about revenge, the sloppier your training gets. You need to think about one thing at a time, or else you'll never reach your goal." I advised.

Sasuke looked at before looking down at the ground. "Multitasking won't get you anywhere, Sasuke Uchiha. You need to slow it down. Do you think you can do that?" I asked him. Sasuke stayed quiet for a while, so I took this opportunity to stare at the sky again.

"I'll try." Sasuke said after a while. I smiled at him. "Good." I replied. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small, dark orb. "Here," I handed it to him. "What is it?" He asked. "It an orb. In Hell, we demons use it to heal our sick and injured ones. But for humans, it has a different effect." I explained.

"Like what?"

"It's supposed to help relax the human body. So, this should help you."

"You want something in return for this?"

"Not at all. Let's just call it your half granted wish."

"Half granted?"

"One half of your wish is granted. The other half is soon to be decided whether or not you want it to be granted."

Sasuke took the orb and examined it. "Swallow it." I instructed. Sasuke closed his eyes and put the orb in his mouth before swallowing it. Sasuke opened his eyes and I noticed a bit of color in the onyx of his eyes.

"How do you feel?" I asked him. Sasuke didn't answer as he closed his eyes and passed out, his head lying on my lap. "I told you, you were going to overdo it." I said, placing my hand on his head as I gently began to stroke his hair.

"You've train hard today, Sasuke Uchiha. So, you deserve the rest." I said, smiling softly. I closed my eyes as I let Sasuke sleep on my lap. I stayed with Sasuke throughout the rest of the night, letting him sleep by me as I kept him warm so he wouldn't freeze to death.
