I decided there wasn't enough AUs in the Bookmark of Demise fandom and simply had to attempt one. So here it is. A demon AU about these dead kids. It's a short start but hopefully the chapters will get bigger as they go along.

C-ta loved A-ya. Well, loved was too kind of a word. To precisely explain the nature of the relationship between the little human boy that had somehow won over the affection of the demon C-ta, you would need to use a somewhat coarser word. C-ta stalked A-ya. Obsessively. Anyone with half a brain could see that. So it didn't really surprise D-ne too much when the aforementioned demon came bursting into her room sobbing intensely over how A-ya had talked to someone and he need her help in destroying the bi-

Before he could finish his spiel, D-ne stopped him midsentence, "C-ta, what thought possessed you to come to me of all people? Why not go to E-ki, D-suke, or I don't know, maybe even B-ka." She didn't hide the frustration in her tone. Her thin, blue claw-like nails tapped restlessly against the hardwood of the little desk D-ne had been sitting at moments earlier. She had been working on paperwork for the last soul that she and C-ta had successfully swayed into eternal damnation.

C-ta's face crumpled into a scowl, the scales on his face scrunching together. From her seat, she saw his green tail flick with annoyance back and forth, indicating that she'd managed to anger the male demon in only a couple of seconds. A smirk flashed across her features, it was a new record. However would she beat this one? "You know why!" C-ta groaned, plopping on D-ne's bed, which made the blue-eyed demon twitch in annoyance, "E-ki would probably just oogle the girl's breast. I'd have to bribe D-suke and I surely don't have the money to appease his stomach. B-ka isn't going to help. He'd just try to make friends with the girl. You are my only hope."

"While I find that flattering, I don't see why I should help." D-ne answered, turning back towards the stack of paperwork. In reality, C-ta should have been the one to handle this. Instead he'd run off as soon as the job had been finished, and left her to deal with the stack. So, she was more than a little spiteful. Who could blame her?

"Please, D-ne! Just help me with this and…. And…" C-ta fished for something that would convince his partner to help him in his plan, "I'll… Do the paperwork for the next decade?"

D-ne was not impressed. The clicking stopped and she leaned forward, her blue-ish tail lazily swaying behind her, "And? I need much more than just you doing your job to be convinced to come on board with this plan." She made it sound cheerful, but D-ne had a way of making even the happiest tone sound like a death threat. C-ta froze, mouth agape as he attempted to think of some way to convince the other demon to come on board.

"She's hot." He finally offered. D-ne raised an eyebrow, and motioned for him to elaborate. C-ta shrugged and continued, "I mean, the girl. You know the one A-ya talked too." D-ne didn't miss the way C-ta's eye grew bright when he spoke the name of the boy who had become the object of his stalking, "I mean she's not my type, but I think you might like her or something. To be honest, I don't really know what your type is."

D-ne thought on this for a moment. Well, it might be interesting, she decided. She nodded to herself and turned back around, ignoring the cry of disappointment from C-ta. She reached down below to pull something out of a drawer before finally turning back to C-ta. "I'll decided after I see this girl. I won't say yes just yet, but I'm not saying no."

She almost didn't finish her sentence before C-ta had jumped up, let out a cheer, and began rushing off to the portal to the human world. D-ne scowled, but followed along anyway.
