----Prologue----
First there was darkness.
In the darkness, two souls patiently rested, held together by chains.
"... Gaara..." One boy ventured, quietly murmuring into the red head's ear. Gaara pushed his head deeper into his friends neck whimpering slightly as he pulled away. "... Gaara, we're going to stick together okay? You've got... you've got nothing to worry about." Gaara nodded, making a brave sound in the back of his throat.
The blond boy fell silent after that, never ceasing to enjoy the company even though nothing had changed in millennia. He adjusted slightly, moving the chains around as they floated in midair. Both were naked, although neither really noticed.
"Gaara..." The boy piped up nervously, holding on a bit tighter. Gaara's head snapped up, revealing heavily outlined eyes that no one could see in the dark.
"... Gaara, I'm falling..." the boy whispered, holding on to Gaara's wrists as tightly as he could, slipping downwards. "Gaara... Gaara, please hold on..." Gaara started whimpering louder, clawing at his friend's bare back, disregarding the scratches there.
"... I'm falling... Gaara... Gaara!" Gaara was moaning loudly, his friend was holding onto his legs, desperately trying not to fall apart as they hung in midair. "Oh no... Gaara, please, promise me-"
The boy fell, chains and all, leaving Gaara in pitch blackness.

MISSION DETAILS
Naruto Uzumaki and Subaku no Gaara are Cursed Children. When you look in the Booke of Leafe, the definition states:
Cursed Child:
-A Cursed Child is the spawn of an Angel and a Demon. When said child is born, he carries the traits of both parents, making him or her highly dangerous, and subject to all sorts of wicked deeds to take on their power, for a Cursed Child is more powerful than any.
When such children are born, it is the Law of the Leafe that the child is immediately sacrificed to the Demonic King and God of Purity at the time. It is also law that the executioner must be the parents, for they to face execution if they refuse. So is the Law of the Leafe.-
However, when you look in the Booke of the Kissing Snake, the definition goes something like this:
Cursed Child:
-A Cursed Child is the spawn of an Angel and a Demon. When said child is born, he carries the traits of both parents, making him or her highly dangerous, and subject to all sorts of wicked deeds to take on their power, for a Cursed Child is more powerful than any.
It is of utmost importance that any Cursed Children found by a loyal demon, must immediately be taken to his Lordship Orochimaru for examination and draining. This is the Law of the Kissing Snake.-
Uzumaki has gotten free by unknown causes. It is of utmost importance that he is apprehended. Once done, he shall be taken to either the Council of the Leafe, or the Administration of the Kissing Snake, also known as the Akatsuki.
Gaara is still safely sealed, awaiting trial and eventual death by sacrifice.
Uzumaki MUST NOT BE CAUGHT BY EITHER REALM.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but that is part of the mutual law between Heaven and Hell. As you read, a dedicated group of Leafe Nin and Akatsuki (specially chosen by the board) have been sent. At this point in time, this retrieval mission is ranked S.
As you know, we are located on the Bridge of Life. Please send a representative if you have any questions.
Thanks for your cooperation,
The Board of Seals, Curses, Demons, and Angels

Welcome to the planet
Naruto Uzumaki lay crumpled on his side, wings bedraggled. They reached ten feet out on either side, and were at least two inches thick. Despite being soaked with rain, the feathers were still bright with colors, bright reds and gold's.
He breathed deeply for a moment, cheeks flushed from the rain.
Welcome to existence
After a few moments he stood up, looking from side to side slowly. He was obviously in a huge city, millions of pedestrians bustled by on either side, not really noticing the bright blond boy. He stumbled forward, bumping into a girl. She looked straight at him for a moment, preparing to yell, "Watch where... oh.." she looked at the spot where he was again, then all around, then shrugged, bustling off to her destination.
"... Must be feeling things..."
Everyone's here
Naruto gasped, stumbling down the street slowly, wings dragging behind him.
"... Gaara... Gaara..." He mumbled, bumping into people who couldn't see him. He walked into the middle of the street, and amazingly cars didn't hit him, only passed to either side.
Everyone's here
Arms hanging limply by his side and head tipped downwards, Naruto walked aimlessly through Tokyo.
Nobody saw him, until a little girl with lilac pupiless eyes who was being dragged by her brother gasped.
"N-neji-san! Look, Neji!" she said in awe, pulling on her brother's arm.
"We don't have time! We have to go; I don't want to look at some trinket!"
"But, Neji-san! It's an angel!" she emphasized excitedly.
"I don't know wha-" He had finally looked around, gaze following her finger. There, in the middle of the street, there actually was an angel, looking around dazedly. "Oh my."
"Neji-san! Do you think it fell out of Heaven and doesn't know where to go?" the little girl inquired. Breathless, Neji could only murmur,
"Maybe, Hinata. Maybe." They stood still, ignoring their appointments, just holding hands and watching the boy until he faded out of sight.
-
"Akamaru! Akamaru!" a brunette by the name of Kiba called, "Akamaru, where are you? Please come here!" he started running, still frantically calling his dog's name.
"I miss you, Akamaru!" he screamed.
"Woof!" something barked, "... Woof, woof!"
"Aka... Akamaru!" Kiba said breathlessly, running after the sound. Down the street, right next to the crosswalk, was his dog, barking at this giant bird.
Kiba ran up a little closer, and upon further inspection, realized this was no bird, but a boy. With wings.
"Holy... Dude! Hey, dude! What are you, a fuckin' angel?" he yelled picking up his dog. Oddly, nobody saw the boy with brown hair and tattoos yelling at absolutely nothing.
Everybody's watching you now
Umino Iruka, 27 years old, was walking down the street jobless due to mixed up paperwork when he saw an angel.
A real, live, albeit a little beat up, angel. And it was just walking down the street like a lost puppy.
Despite all instincts to go and help the kid, he found himself frozen in place, just watching the boy walk.
He was beautiful, just walking down the street. Just walking. Like a lost puppy.
Upon closer inspection, Iruka noticed opaque chains binding the angel.
"... Hey..." he called out, "Hey, you! Kid! You need some help?"
The boy turned his head, revealing crystal blue eyes. Then the eyes closed as the lips curved in a smile, bangs dripping in his face. He stood there for a moment, just smiling confusedly, before turning and continuing to walk.
Iruka decided that angels knew what they were doing anyway, and maybe he should just leave it alone, maybe just watch it walk.
So he did.
-
Shikamaru Nara, sleepy Goth of eighteen years was getting to know his girlfriend of 3 years and best friend of sixteen's tonsils. After a few gratifying moments of lip lock, Shika decided he was tired.
His girlfriend, Temari, was currently screaming in frustration.
"Oh my fucking god, Shikamaru! Do you have any idea how hard it is to get you to knock me up! What do I have to do, be the fucking Seme?"
"... Probably."
"I swear, if you weren't such a sexy bastard..." she sighed moving to sit leaning on the same storefront as Shika, leaning her head on his shoulder. He closed his eyes putting his head on top of hers, yawning dutifully.
"Hey, Shika." She said suddenly, quite softly. He grumbled a bit, eyes still closed.
"Hmm."
"I see an angel."
"Really."
"Yup. With wings of fire and chains of crystal, it's like... he's cursed."
"Ah. Can I see this angel you speak of?"
"Sure. ...He's standing in the middle of the street, and like, the cars should be hitting him, you know? But... they're not."
"You are so fucking high right now, Temari."
"I must be."
Everybody waits for you now
"I really must thank you, Detective Jaraiya. Despite being so perverted and everything, you're actually a pretty nice guy," a blonde said, grinning happily and clutching a wad of bills to her chest, "You actually got all my stolen money back!"
"Hey, what are friends for? Besides, don't forget how you got me out of that little bout way back in high school, Tsunade!" He grinned sheepishly, "And what with me being 2 years your senior, I was a little embarrassed..."
"Eh, it was the past! ...WAY in the past. What's important is that we're even." she squealed in glee. "Thank you so much! If I make it as Head Police Commissioner you are so getting a raise! ..."
"..."
"... Jaraiya? Detective Jaraiya?" she asked, a little quieter. He gently put a hand on her shoulder, looking to their right side, into the busy street.
"... Look..."
She did.
What happens next
"... Where..." Naruto whispered in awe, looking up at the tall buildings and gasping in delight, "It... reminds me... of paradise... I wish Gaara could see... Gaara..."
Turning in a circle, Naruto started to realize the enormity of his situation. "Oh wow." his gaze slowly lowered, and for the first time he really saw a car. It was driving straight towards him; the driver didn't see the angel.
"What... what's that?"
----Chapter epilogue----
Excerpt from the Booke of Life and Death on the Middle Realm-
Uchiha:
-The Uchiha's are a human clan. For the most part they live on the region of earth known as the Middle East, or more specifically, Japan. The Uchiha's made up a large amount of the Ninjas of Japan, but were wiped out for the most part at the turn of the century by the second youngest, one Itachi Uchiha. Itachi is classified as missing on earth, and his Demonic counterpart is currently on an S class retrieval mission. He has no Angelic counterpart. The last surviving Uchiha, sans Itachi, is Sasuke Uchiha. He is colder than the average Uchiha, and even more power- hungry.
Typical Behavior: Cold, vague, confusing, deep
Typical Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, pale skin, usually some signs of failed plans to gain power.
Notes:
Uchiha in Japanese can mean 'warrior'
Extremely power hungry, expect at least one Uchiha per generation to make it into one of the Higher Realms to create havoc.-
