Prologue

He glided through the air. Powerful wingbeats propelled him forward, the air rushing in his ears. Beneath him, the lights of a huge city spread out and illuminated the night.

,Stupid humans. By creating their own light, they can't see the beauty of the stars anymore. They're going to forget it. And for all their light, they can't see the shadows anymore.'

But bringing humans back on the right path was not why Toshiro was here. God didn't want slaves, which was why he had left humans their free will once they had gained it.

The white-haired angel scanned the land beneath him carefully.

,Where are you, bastard?'

Bad enough that he, a member of the angelic choir of the Cherubim, the second-most powerful angels, had needed to be sent here. Now that accursed demon had apparently decided it would be fun to play hide and seek. The worst part? Nobody knew what kind of demon it was. Only that it was so powerful that it warranted sending a Cherub to Earth. None of the lower-ranked angels chasing him had ever returned.

And not even Toshiro had found anything yet. He struggled greatly to keep his swearing back. It wasn't appropriate for an angel of his rank.

,What abomination has hell spawned this time?'

He gave another beath with his wings, which were colored in various shades of white and blue.

,Just you wait, I'll get you.'

Toshiro disappeared into the night sky.

Author's note: Hello dear readers! And welcome to a lenghty – and hopefully worthwile – fanfiction about Toshiro and Karin. As you may have guessed by now, it is set in an angel AU (one on which I most likely am going to expand later). I cannot say how frequently I will upload, since I have to translate it into two other languages aside from English, and it kinda gets a little longer than I expected. But if anything goes well, I may upload once a week at least, perhaps eventually being able to update even more frequently.

Anyhow, this is JupiterGoddess, and I hope you'll enjoy this story. Have a nice day, everyone! ;)
