A Secret Rumour
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kohaku is still crying on Shuuichirou's shoulder and is telling him that Hisui's disappearance is a very big issue in Heaven. Shuuichirou wants to know what is distressing him, and he asks him to tell him. Kohaku says that Hisui is one of the four archangels in Heaven. The archangels guard the four elements: Fire, Water, Wind and Earth, and it is their job to keep them in balance. Hisui is the Archangel of Wind and the most beautiful and gentle angels in Heaven. He is also Kohaku's teacher. The last time they saw one another was at the "Bridge," a neutral zone between Heaven and Hell where members of the two realms meet and make negotiations once every season. It is also the region where angels and demons are not allowed to fight against each other. Hisui has disappeared for three months, abandoning his important job in Heaven. Therefore, Kohaku asks God's permission to come to search for Hisui in the human world.
Hari and Ryuuri are still listening. They have heard about the rumour, too. They understand that if this is publicized, Heaven and Hell will sure be in disorder.
Shuuichirou doubts how Kohaku has been looking for Hisui if he is staying in his house every day. Kohaku explains that he can search for Hisui with the help of his wings because angels' wings have a special glow and they respond to each other. Usyagi has come to call him back to Heaven as he still has things to do there, but he does not want to give up and let Hisui be expelled from Heaven. Angels cannot leave their post without God's permission. An archangel will lose his throne if he does not return in a season and would be expelled after four seasons' absence. Shuuichirou reassures him and offers to help him to find Hisui. When he takes him to rest, Kohaku crouches in his arms saying: "You are such a gentle person."
While Hari and Ryuuri hurry to report to Kouryuu about the news, Shuuichirou is watching Kohaku falling asleep. Kohaku dreams about the last time he met Hisui in Heaven, and Hisui told him that he had just found out that although he had taught Kohaku a lot of things before, he himself was in fact not accomplished as a person. He shed his archangel's robe and said to Kohaku: "Everyone must have a wish that cannot be realized alone." Kohaku still does not understand what that kind of wish is.
Kohaku wakes up to find that Shuuichirou is already watering the garden. He then quickly transforms into his larger form so that he can go to sweep the leaves. Shuuichirou stops him and brings him out to find Hisui using his motorcycle. He suggests that Kohaku may not be close enough to the light of the wings so that he cannot sense Hisui's presence, or that Hisui might be in the demons' realm. However, Kohaku says that angels cannot tread on the ground of Hell just like demons cannot trespass Heaven. Suddenly, they are attacked by lightening. Kouryuu is here to bully Kohaku again, and he says he is going to spread the news of Hisui's disappearance. Nevertheless, Kohaku and Shuuichirou are saved by a swirl of wind--Hisui-sama appears.
