Chapter One: Castiel
Dean Winchester shot out of his rough slumber, glancing around the hotel room he was currently inhabiting before turning to the cause of his ruined slumber. He snatched his vibrating cell phone angrily off of the side table and flipped it open.
"What?" he growled raking a hand over his head.
"Dean, it's me. I must know where you are." Castiel answered swiftly.
"I'm in a freaking hotel room Cas, and I was sleeping before you decided to call. What do you want?" Dean said angrily.
"Dean, please, tell me." Castiel pleaded.
Dean sighed and told him the hotel name, state and city before flipping the phone closed and rubbing his eyes. The door to the hotel room burst open, ripping the lock off of the wall, and Castiel strode in followed by Sam Winchester, Dean's younger brother. "Hey Sammy, how you been?" Dean asked eyeing his younger brother. "I've been fine Dean, you?" Sam responded sticking his hands in his pockets. "Fine, so what did you have to bust down the door to tell me?" Dean asked turning his attention to the angel.
"I couldn't locate god; but I do know someone that can help us. Someone that could defeat Lucifer." Castiel said. "So some bastard's taking my job now? Well who is the unlucky son of a bitch?" he asked flinging the sheets off and climbing out of the bed. "Her name is Kagome Higurashi, she lives in Japan and I know she will help us." He said, his eyes growing wide with hidden excitement. "Wait, so the savior of the world is a chick? Are you serious?" Sam asked with a scoff. Castiel whipped around to face the younger Winchester, his eyes hard.
"Do not refer to her as that. She deserves your respect along with everyone else's, understand?" he asked grabbing Sam by his worn tan jacket. Sam locked eyes with Dean before looking back into Castiel's and nodding. "Yeah man, sorry." He said. Castiel released Sam and turned to Dean. "Grab what you need; we're going to see her now." He said. "What about my car?" Dean asked, not moving from his spot. "I've had your friend Bobby come and get your car for you. It's already being transported safely to Bobby's house. Now then if you don't have anything to take, come here." Castiel said grabbing both Winchester boys and disappearing, reappearing at a snow covered shrine in Japan.
"Dude, I hate it when you do that?" Dean said pushing Castiel away and glancing around. Sam bent over and coughed as a wave of nausea washed over him. "Come on, we must do this quickly. Lucifer is growing stronger and we need Kagome's help." Castiel said, ignoring Dean and walking to the house. Dean walked over to Sam just as he stood to his full height. "I'm really glad I wasn't dying just now." Sam muttered walking towards the house with Dean. "Did he just walk in?" Dean asked as they walked up the porch steps. "Yeah, he did." Sam answered as they peered inside before stepping over the threshold.
"Castiel?" Dean called softly. "Dean, look out!" Sam exclaimed suddenly. Dean turned and a sword flew in between his and Sam's heads, imbedding itself in the wall. "Kagome, please don't attack. It's Castiel, this is Sam and Dean Winchester." Castiel said appearing in front of them, holding his hand out and gripping the blade of the other sword that was coming down on their heads. The two brothers got a glimpse of a woman in the air before she appeared on the ground. "Castiel? I thought I would never see you again." She exclaimed releasing the sword and launching into his arms, startling the two brothers behind him.
"It's good to see you again Kagome, you've heard about Lucifer rising correct?" Castiel asked pulling away and sliding his free hand down her right arm to hold her hand. Kagome smiled up at him shyly, his own small smile answering hers. 'What the hell?' Sam mouthed to Dean. The older brother shrugged before clearing his throat. Kagome looked past Castiel and at the two brothers. "Sorry about the attack; after Raphael came by saying that Lucifer could turn into anyone the fight or flight mode kicks in." she said laughing lightly. "No yeah no, it's cool we understand." Dean said sarcastically.
Castiel glared a bit at Dean before turning back to Kagome. "Can you defeat Lucifer?" he asked. "I don't know; I've had my more powerful powers stripped from me 3000 years ago and exiled here. I haven't had to fight anyone as powerful as Lucifer since he was cast out of heaven." Kagome said stepping back. "Why would an angel be cast out of heaven?" Sam asked confused. "She's not just an angel Sam, she doesn't need a vessel to stay on earth, and this is how she appeared in heaven." Castiel announced looking at the younger Winchester. "I was an archangel, I developed emotions, falling in love with a fellow angel, and my superiors didn't like that; so they stripped me of most of my power and cast me out of heaven." She shrugged. Castiel stiffened as Kagome told the story and Sam caught the tiny glance Kagome tossed at the angel. 'So they like each other.' He thought.
"I was right man, angels are dicks. Who's higher than an archangel?" Dean asked shaking his head. "All archangels have a superior." Kagome said flatly taking her sword out of Castiel's hand. "Who was the angel Kagome?" Sam asked hoping they wouldn't catch on. "I'm sure you know him." Kagome said throwing another glance at Castiel. "You and Cas?" Dean asked incredulously. Kagome blushed and glanced away. "I told you it was wrong to fall for me." Castiel growled brushing past the brothers. "I'm sorry." Sam said automatically. Kagome shook her head and lifted her head quickly. "I know you, you're Lucifer's vessel. He's here looking for you; both of you. Stay here, I'll take care of him." She said gripping her sword tightly and walking outside onto the snow covered ground. "We need to find Cas, there's no way she's going to survive with him when she has virtually no power." Dean said quickly, ignoring the fact that Kagome had called Sam Lucifer's vessel. Sam agreed and both ran out the backdoor, following Castiel's footstep in the snow.
"Hello Kagome, it's a pleasant surprise to see you here." Lucifer said giving her a smile. "Shut up, you knew I lived here. I'm tired of hearing about you. how about you just let me send you back to hell and you never resurface on this earth again?" she asked, her power growing around her, whipping her hair and clothes around her wildly. Lucifer gave a mock sigh before grinning evilly. "Yes, I agree. And when I defeat you, I'll make sure Castiel follows right after you." he said, his black blade appearing in his hand. With a small burst of energy, his human vessel blew up, leaving the true body of Lucifer in its wake; his bony, black, bat like wings stretching behind him. Kagome trembled; he still had his devilish good looks that made most angels in heaven turn to his side. She shook her head; she had to do this now, while she was still rested enough. Taking a deep breath, she pushed her black, feathered wings out behind her and tightened her grip on her sword. "Let's end this." She whispered. Lucifer chuckled and launched himself at her, his sword held aloft.
"Cas, what the hell is your problem man? Kagome can't help who she fell for." Dean said angrily, pushing Castiel when they caught up to him. "It was a mistake, she should not have longed for me." Castiel said. "Castiel it's obvious that you like her the same way that she likes you. But look, Kagome's fighting Lucifer now, let's go and help her and talk about this later." Sam suggested. Castiel looked up at the younger brother. "You're certain that she's fighting him now?" he asked, his eyes gleaming with an unreadable emotion. Sam and Dean nodded before Castiel began walking back to the shrine. "Let's go, she's not ready for a fight with Lucifer; not that we are either." He called over his shoulder. "Well, the four of us can take him." Dean said confidently.
Kagome glanced around, blood stained the ground around her, most of it, if not all of it was hers. "Lucifer, stop playing these games." She whispered before a shadow fell over her. Gasping, she jumped at an angle to avoid him and flapped her wings to stay in the air. "So, you're almost defeated and you decide to take this to the air?" he chuckled before disappearing again. Kagome ground her teeth together in frustration and shook her head as a wave of dizziness washed over her. 'I'll descend a little, that way if I get hit from the air, it won't hurt as bad.' She decided. As she began to descend, she felt something sharp puncture her wings and she screamed as she was violently thrown to the ground and repeatedly stabbed in her non-vital areas.
Lucifer clicked his tongue and withdrew his sword, rolling her over onto her back, looking into her glazed silver-grey eyes he stuck his sword in the ground and leaned down. "You're a sad excuse for an archangel, now I know the real reason they got rid of you." he sighed sadly before standing up to deliver the final blow. Kagome's eyes snapped shut as, with the last of her strength, she raised her sword and stuck it through Lucifer. She smirked at his surprised face before closing her eyes to the pain she felt through her body.
"Kagome!" Castiel cried falling to his knees next to her body and lifting her up, mindful of her wounds. "Hey Cas, I got him." She laughed, raising her hand to stroke his cheek as she stiffened and her hand fell to the snow. Sam and Dean glanced at each other, the odds weren't with her, exiled archangel or not, they knew the probability of her surviving this battle were slim. "Help me take her to the house. Someone get her sword and deal with Lucifer." Castiel ordered carrying her to the house as Dean walked with him and Sam went to take care of Lucifer.
Sam sighed as he grabbed the orange juice out of the fridge. "Castiel still hasn't moved." Dean sighed walking into the kitchen. "Well she's breathing, so she still may pull through." Sam shrugged pouring a glass for him and Dean. "I doubt it, the only person that could take her out of that would be god and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel said that god is dead; so basically she's screwed. There's no alcohol in this place?" Dean asked looking at the orange liquid. "It's a shrine Dean, so no. Who's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel?" Sam asked. "Raphael." Dean said pouring the juice back into the carton.
Sam rolled his eyes at his brother's antics and left his empty glass on the table before both of them walked back up to Kagome's room. "Who are you?" Sam asked walking into the room and seeing an aged man standing behind Castiel, looking at Kagome. Castiel turned his tired eyes behind him and jumped out of his seat, his eyes wide with wonder. "Hello Dean, Sam; Castiel I'm glad to see you are alright." The man said. "Alright Dumbledore, tell us who you are right now." Dean threatened. "I am who I am." The man answered. "Father, forgive me for my sins." Castiel said dropping to his knees at the man's feet. "Dean, this is god." Sam said incredulously. "Well, where have you been? Kagome almost died fighting Lucifer because of you." Dean announced, crossing his arms.
"I was in New Mexico, I had some things I had to take care of there." He said. "I told you he was on a tortilla." Dean said turning triumphant eyes to Castiel. "I wasn't on any flatbread." God said giving Dean a look. "Rise my son; for all you have done, awaken my daughter of darkness, you have done well in your battle with evil." He said placing a hand over her chest. A jolt of power flooded through the room and Kagome's body jumped off the bed. Castiel went to stand with Sam and Dean as Kagome's eyelids fluttered open and she glanced around a few times to take in her surroundings.
"What happened to Lucifer?" she asked, her voice cracking from dryness. "You killed him, I wish to reward you, rise my daughter." God said giving her a smile. Kagome's eyes swiveled to him and blinked a few times before jumping out of her bed and to her feet, swaying as she felt a wave of dizziness pass over her. She collapsed to sit on the edge of the bed before standing again, ignoring her aches, pains and swimming vision. "For your valor, I bestow upon you your right to be an archangel again. You may return to heaven, and everything that was lost to you will be returned." He said placing a hand on her head and passing every power she lost back to her.
Kagome's eyes welled up with tears and she covered her mouth with her hands, she had dreamed of becoming an archangel and returning to heaven to be with her brothers and sisters, never thinking it possible again. "Castiel, come forward. You have killed angels in the name of these two boys behind you and for that I am not pleased. I will give you a choice, do you wish to stay on earth as an angel on earth, with human emotions or return to heaven as you used to be?" god asked raising an eyebrow. Castiel's eyes widened in shock and he glanced at Kagome before turning to look as Sam and Dean. "I think I'm going to stay on earth. " Castiel said.
Kagome looked down sadly before god nodded and he and Kagome disappeared. "What did you do that for? Kagome finally gets her archangel mojo back and you go and ruin her mood." Dean said turning to Castiel. "She can do better than me, I know she can." Castiel said staring at the spot where Kagome and god stood. Dean shook his head in annoyance before walking out. Sam laid his hand on Castiel's shoulder before steering him out of Kagome's old room.
Kagome stood on the balcony in heaven, surveying the ballroom as angels danced and made merriment in Lucifer's defeat. It was weird to see the once stoic angels having a good time and showing emotions. She sighed and turned away, her blue dress moving with her and her wings fluttering behind her. Down below, she watched the earth, her eyes locking on Japan with sadness. "You don't have to stay here you know." Gabriele said placing a comforting hand on the hand that held her wine glass. "I have longed for this for 3000 years. How can you say that I don't need to stay here?" she asked standing up straight. "Because, you no longer have the heart to be the archangel of death; you have long ago given that up." He replied brushing one of his pale blonde strands of hair out of his face.
Kagome gave a slight nod. "I believe that you are right Gabriele, I can't stay here." she said giving him a smile. Gabriele smiled and led her over to their father. "So it is what you want then?" he asked happily. Kagome nodded, and he pulled her into a hug. "Be safe my child, know that you are always welcome here. and also know, that because of you the angels may have emotions as was intended, and that on earth, you shall never age but shall be able to live life as a mortal." He said placing a hand on her forehead and transferring her out of heaven.
"So this is your true form? I'm really disappointed." Sam said looking at Castiel. "Yes, when humans are born, they take the form of the angel that is to be their vessel, it makes finding the vessel easier." Castiel shrugged. "So Jimmy was basically exactly what you look like? Why the hell do we still have eyes?" Dean asked confused. "Because father did not wish for humans to be the vessels of angels any longer." A soft voice said behind the three boys in the living room. Castiel jumped off of the couch and stared at her. "Aren't you supposed to be in heaven?" Sam asked. "I'm serving time as an archangel on earth for a few thousand years." She replied walking forward.
She stopped in front of Castiel and smiled at him, raking a hand through his hair. "I hope that's okay with you." she said. Castiel glanced over at Dean and Sam, who were watching them in amusement before snaking an arm around Kagome's waist and drawing her closer. "Of course it is." He said before slanting his lips over hers.
