Heaven's Lost Property: Revision
Disclaimer: I don't own Heaven's Lost Property
Summary: Adding twists, changes, and a bit of logic into canon results in Tomoki being less immature, still perverted, and more openly accepting of(but still annoyed by) Angeloids, and other changes for him and other characters. Enjoy, fans, as this tale spins off from canon course, fairly quickly.

Demonic or Animalistic Thoughts
Tomoki Sakurai yawned as he awoke to the sound of his childhood friend calling his nickname- "Tomo! You're going to be late!"- Which was fairly normal for him. Sohara was pretty much his alarm clock at this point. The sound of her voice got him awake better than any ringing or buzzing could. Honestly, there was a good chance he'd sleep through the morning if she didn't call him.
Pushing that out of his mind, he sat up as Sohara yanked his covers off him to make him awaken. As he sat there, Sohara stared at his morning wood in slight...shock? Disgust? An automatic response to his perversion? He rose an eyebrow, looking down before grinning dryly, knowing what was about to come.
In another universe, Tomoki would have gotten brutally chopped to the face, but in this one...
Sohara glared as she fell backwards, Tomoki on her back with his legs locked under her abdomen, pinning her right arm to her side, and pinning her chopping hand against his chest and above her head, "How many times do I have to tell you? Morning wood is natural!" Tomoki said with a grin, used to this exchange. He learned a long time ago how to counter Sohara's chops in various ways, most of them anyway.
"And how many times do I have to tell you to not press your prick against my back!?" Sohara retorted, unable to get her arm out of his hold, 'I swear he gets stronger every time this happens!' She thought, wondering where that strength kept coming from.
"Hey, at least I'm not doing this from the front," He pointed out, making Sohara scowl, almost like an adorable pout.
"True. You're still a pervert," She said dejectedly.
"Born and raised," Tomoki said proudly, pulling off a one handed, mock salute and still keeping her arm pinned. He looked curious for a moment as they laid there, "Hey, Sohara? You got a new bra or something?" Tomoki asked curiously.
"H-huh?! Why are you asking me a question like that?" Sohara asked with a blush.
"Cause I can feel something different against my legs," Tomoki said flatly, "This isn't a pervert thing, this is a 'me wondering what that is' thing," He assured.
"...Yes, it's a new bra," Sohara admitted with a grumble, "Can you let me go now?"
"Not until you say it," Tomoki said with a grin.
"We're going to be late!" Sohara protested.
"Your point?" Tomoki asked, feigning curiosity.
"...It's wrong to come into another person's home, and bedroom, uninvited and assault them for what they do in private," Sohara said with a pouty scowl.
"Good girl," Tomoki said, patting her head as he let her go.
"I'm not your dog, Tomo!" Sohara yelled with a glare, holding up an angry fist.
"You wish. Now, a little privacy so I can change?" Tomoki requested as he got his uniform out.
Sohara glared before leaving the room, slamming the door...and grinning lightly with a blush, "Stupid pervert...," She murmured to herself.
Tomoki grinned in his room as he got changed, 'I'm beginning to think that Sohara is growing into her own perversion,' He thought in amusement as he pulled on his shirt and pants, leaving the tie undone over his neck as he headed back out. "Come on, we can grab some milk and a morning snack before we head off," He said with a smile that Sohara returned to her oldest and best friend.
As Tomoki walked to school with Sohara, he finished up his dressing by buttoning up his vest and fixing his tie, to Sohara's amusement. Just like waking up to Sohara's voice had become routine, finishing up the finer points of his outfit on the walk to school had also become a habit of his. He was always done long before they got to school. In fact, he was always done around the time they got to the farms.
Sorami City didn't have much to its name. Smiling old farmers, surrounded by mountains, and an old Sakura tree planted more than four hundred years ago. Well, it had a few other things, but most people out of town wouldn't know of those.
"Well, if it isn't the lovely couple," A random student remarked as they approached the school gates, he and his friends grinning teasingly at the two that always went to and from school together, almost like clockwork.
"Ishida, that joke got old two years ago," Tomoki remarked as they walked by them, Sohara sighing at the obligatory joke thrown their way for the day.
"Not much of a denial, Sakurai," The student pointed out cheekily.
Tomoki stopped at the gate to look at the group of boys with a blank stare, "If you're right, my girlfriend is a cute girl living next door to me. If you're wrong, my best friend is a cute girl living next door to me. Either way, I will still be going home with a cute girl today and coming back tomorrow with said cute girl. You guys, meanwhile, will still be enjoying your sausage fest. So, win-win for me," Tomoki said bluntly, leaving the boys either gaping or glaring at the burn.
Sohara blushed lightly as they continued their walk, looking straight ahead and not at Tomoki, who walked with his school bag over his shoulder, "You know, you could have just ignored them," She pointed out after a few seconds.
"Yeah, but that wouldn't be as fun. Besides, I like rubbing you in other guys' faces," Tomoki said with a grin, Sohara looking away to hide a small grin.
"Do me a favor and try not to fall asleep in class," Sohara requested, partially joking.
"I never make a promise I can't keep," Tomoki said with a grin.
"Pervert's Code of Honor?" She asked with a smirk.
"Mine, yeah. Mom and Grandpa never really seemed to have one beyond not hurting anyone," Tomoki answered with a shrug.
Sohara shivered a bit, "Yeah, Tomo? I may complain how you're a pervert, but I'm kind of glad you didn't turn out completely like them," Sohara commented as Tomoki smiled fondly, both of them remembering Tomoyo Sakurai, Tomoki's mother, and a bit of his late grandfather, Tomozou Sakurai. Those two were the heights of reckless (but mostly benign) perversion. The latest Sakurai, however, was a bit less, or more,...something. What it was, Sohara couldn't put her finger on, because he was definitely a pervert.
"Sachi, your skirt is stuck up in the back. Nice choice of colors," Tomoki informed as they passed a female student, grinning as she blushed and worked to fix it before any (more) guys saw her black-green striped panties, muttering a thank you to the local pervert.
'Perverted yet helpful,' Sohara thought in amusement. Yes, Tomoki was a pervert, but he had his redeeming qualities. Unfortunately, being an attentive and respectful student was not one of them, hence Sohara sighing as Tomoki went off to dreamland, his head resting on his open textbook.
Dreamscape- Tomoki's POV
I have dreamt about weird things before. Things involving girls that I will NEVER say out loud unless I find a girl that is kinky and willing. Things that will corrupt virgin minds just by reading it. And several more vanilla yet strangely intense dreams involving Sohara.
Still, this dream always takes the cake. I'm on this wide open field of rolling hills, with low hanging clouds. I only barely notice that, to be honest. Why? Because of Her. A women in a plain dress with long blue hair...and I can never remember her face, for some reason.
I'm not sure who she is, really, but...I love her. Like we've been together for decades. And somehow, I'm aware that she loves me. It's not even something I have to know, just something that is plain as day.
We stand there, smiling contently, even if I feel a bit confused at times. All I want to do is say her name, even if I don't know it. May I do and I just don't remember it. I see her smile turn sad and...I'm never sure if I know it's about to happen or if I just hate seeing her sad. All I can say for certain is that I embrace her, just as she's being snatched away. By the Sky.
I can feel it pulling her away, and she is resigned to it even if she returns the hug. Still, I enjoy her company for a few more moments. Strangest part is that it's not until just as she's being stolen that I notice her wings…like an angel's. Still, I can't bring myself to care, as she's slowly puled upwards and our embrace is getting harder to hold. She smiles at me, tearfully as we share a mutually chaste kiss.
I release her, reluctantly, but not before I whisper something, something that I promised her...
Real World- Normal POV
"Tomo! Class is over! Wake up you la-"
"I won't let them keep you," Tomoki muttered dreamily before stirring awake at Sohara's voice, raising his head to look at her, looming over his desk, her annoyance melting away to concern.
"...That dream again?" She asked, worried as she saw him smiling lightly, sadly, but with tears in his eyes.
He sighed at that, scowling lightly, "Yeah, it was Her again," He murmured, feeling a pleasant buzz from the dream, something that happened every time.
"Ya know, if it wasn't for how you react to the dream, I would just put it off as part of your perversion, possibly your more romantic side," Sohara said with a sigh of her own. "But as it is, I'm actually worried, Tomo. You've had that dream since you were little. Maybe you should talk to a doctor or shrink?" She suggested in concern.
"A shrink? Sohara, aside from that I don't like the idea of someone poking around in my head, they'd probably be more focused on my perversion or my parents- ya know, the bi-sexual hyper-vert mom that gets super chopped by my dad?" He pointed out dryly, "Besides, it's just a dream," He assured, as always.
"Still...," Sohara trailed off, unconvinced, before she perked up with an idea, "Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we see if Sugata has any ideas on it?" She suggested optimistically.
"Sugata...?" Tomoki asked blankly, "Ya know, part of me really doesn't want much to do with that guy, because that's probably asking for trouble, but another part thinks it might actually be interesting to hear whatever crazy explanation he comes up with," He mused thoughtfully.
"So, you'll go see him?" Sohara asked with a smile.
"Hey, everyone! Some moron is about to jump off the room!" A girl- Ami, Tomoki mentally noted- yelled, getting everyone's attention as they started to head outside.
"Speak of the devil...," Tomoki said with a twitching eyebrow before he and Sohara headed down and outside to the front of the school, where a crowd had gathered, watching a certain maniac with a hang glider standing on the edge of the roof.
"You know, you'd think one of us would have gone to the roof to stop him," Sohara murmured as they made their way through the crowd, to the front.
"If I hadn't thought it was this weirdo, I might have," Tomoki muttered as they looked up at the hang glider, "There's no way we're allowed to do stuff like that on school grounds," He commented.
"Much like you probably aren't allowed to act as perverted as you do in most other schools," A female voice retorted in a tone of dark amusement, causing the two best friends to turn and see their Student President, Mikako Satsukitane.
"Madam President," Sohara greeted politely.
"Hello, Mikuza," Tomoki greeted suspiciously, and knowingly, as he put on a dry smirk.
"Hello, Eroki," Mikako returned with a nod as they eyed each other.
"So...shouldn't you be doing something about him?" Sohara asked as she pointed up, breaking the awkwardness, 'I never did get what is up with these two,' She thought in confusion.
"Yeah, aren't you two childhood friends or something?" Tomoki asked, craning his neck to look at Sugata again, "Or the more eccentric versions of me and Sohara?" He added on in jest.
"Oh? So now the student body is comparing us to each other as couples?" Mikako asked in amusement, her smile never changing, "That aside, I could tell him to stop and come down, but he won't listen. I'll worry about it after he falls," She said nonchalantly.
"Way to show concern, Prez," Tomoki said sarcastically, staring blankly at the purplette, "Shouldn't you at least act like you're doing something about this?"
"If it's insurance you're talking about, I've already bought a lot of it. Several million in life insurance, to be exact," She informed, smiling all the while as she held up several contracts for Life Insurance, covering the bottom half of her face.
"Wow, that's a lot." Sohara said, admittedly impressed with the student president.
"...When did you start doing that?" Tomoki asked blankly, "At what point did you think to get million dollar life insurance policies on your childhood friend?"
Mikako raised an eyebrow and pointed back up to the roof. Tomoki and Sohara looked up, the crowd gasping, as Sugata jumped from the roof, gliding over the school yard, and away...before tumbling down into the nearby forest.
"...Okay, point taken," Tomoki said, shaking his head at the senior student's actions, "Well, let's head home," Tomoki suggested, turning to do so.
"Wait, Tomo! What about your dream?" Sohara reminded.
"I don't think he'll want to be helping us right now, Sohara. The guy is probably nursing a few injuries," Tomoki pointed out.
"What are you talking about?" Mikako asked, butting in curiously.
"Don't you have a candy store to collect protection money from?" Tomoki muttered.
"Oh no, I'm quite free for the day," Mikako assured dismissively, "So, what do you need to talk to Sugata about?"
"We need to talk to Sugata about something strange- which is said to be his alleged expertise." Sohara explained.
"You'd be right about that. He's creepy, perverted beyond belief, weird beyond comprehension, and without a doubted the freakiest four-eyed guy I know of. But he's reliable in things like this," She assured.
"...So, like Tomo?" Sohara asked after a pause, pointing to her shorter friend.
"But weirder and with glasses," Tomoki answered with a sagely nod. That description did sound a LOT like him if he were to be perfectly honest, "Still, is he even okay right now after that fall?" He asked curiously.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. He's survived worse," Mikako assured dismissively.
Tomoki shrugged, "Well, the only thing I got waiting at home is porn," He mused.
Mikako hummed curiously as she watched Tomoki dodge a chop from Sohara, pull a rope from out of his sleeve, lasso it around the wrist of Sohara's chopping hand, pull it behind her back, and tie the rope onto the shoulder of the other arm, "Tomo! How many times do I have to tell you not to do this in public?!" Sohara yelled in protest, blushing and trying to get her hand free.
"Well, aren't you an impressive little savage. Shibari?" Mikako asked in amusement.
"Self-taught," Tomoki admitted proudly with a chuckle as they ignored the struggling Sohara in front of them, "Though, I learnt it more for stopping chops at first."
"At first?" Mikako repeated with a teasing edge.
"Don't just ignore me you two!" Sohara yelled in outrage and embarrassment.
Timeskip- New World Discovery Club Room
"Nice place you got all to yourself, Sugata," Tomoki noted, looking around as they entered the club room, "If I didn't know any better, you just set up this club to have this room all to yourself. You could even sleep here if you were sneaky enough about it," He added on with a grin.
"Tomoki Sakurai? Sohara Mitsuki? What brings you here?" Sugata asked curiously, looking over to Mikako with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh don't mind me, I'm just a tag along," Mikako assured, waving her hand dismissively, "Though, you may be right, Tomoki. I never thought about it, but honestly, who would want to be in a strange club with such a creepy individual? Even Sugata must have been aware that even the craziest of students were unlikely to sign up to this club," Mikako noted, cruelly casual in her assessment.
"Hmmm, not only have you found ways to render Sohara's chops ineffective, you're also managing to deflect Mikako's viper tonguefrom yourself," Sugata mused as he pushed up the frame of his glasses, "You're more dangerous than people give you credit for, Tomoki" He noted ominously.
"Oh please. I'm a pervert, not an idiot," Tomoki said uncaringly with his hands behind his head, "And if you're a smart pervert, you need to know all the Fatal Females in a given area and how to survive in their presence."
"...I think you mean Female Fatales?" Sugata offered with a raised eyebrow.
"I know what I said," Tomoki retorted evenly to Mikako's amusement and Sohara's annoyance.
"...Right, well, before you explain why you're here, you should probably untie Sohara's arm before she loses too much circulation," Sugata suggested, looking to the other female in the room, who had been silently glaring at Tomoki for every second he forgot to untie her arm.
"Huh? Oh, right," Tomoki said dismissively as he reached behind Sohara, gently pulled a line, the ropes coming loose instantly.
"...You're an ass, Tomo," Sohara murmured with a twitching eyebrow as she rubbed her arm gingerly.
"Ohhh, very impressive, Eroki," Mikako said in feigned applause as Sohara grabbed her chopping hand, resisting the urge to strike Tomoki again, less she fall for another of his defenses, "You could do all kinds of naughty things and clean up quick with skills like that~" She teased.
"I'm sure you would know ALL about cleaning up naughty things, Mikuza," Tomoki countered with a smirk, making her smile widen with a glint in her eye.
'...Mikako finally found a verbal playmate,' Sugata mentally mused with a sweat-drop before shaking his head, "Still, you never did explain why you were all here?" He pointed out curiously. Sohara looked promptingly to Tomoki, who sighed before explaining his dream...
"I understand every word of your concerns," Sugata assured once they were finished.
"Yeah, it can be summed up as: I've been having a weird dream over and over again for several years. Not that complicated." Tomoki pointed out blankly.
"I thought you wanted my help?" Sugata pointed out, unphased by the comment. Tomoki shrugged, which the spectacled student took as his prompt to continue, "Many people believe that dreams are electric signals sent out by your brain when processing memories. In other words, your memories and desires become your dreams," Sugata explained.
"Insert joke about the pervert having a romantic side here," Sohara murmured, to which Tomoki rolled his eyes.
"I don't have any outstanding fetishes or fantasies involving angels or blue haired women, let alone one that lasts for years," Tomoki answered simply.
Sugata nodded as he rose from his seat and headed over to his computer, "I expected as much. This hypothesis is one based in reality, and so it cannot explain unreality," Sugata explained vaguely.
"...Until it can be explained and joins the rest of reality," Tomoki commented.
"Exactly," Sugata agreed, to Tomoki's surprise, as he moved away and motioned Sohara and Tomoki to come over, showing a display of the world on his computer, with a large black dot moving over it, "Tell me, you know what this is?" He asked to the two.
"No idea," Sohara answered.
"...The New World?" Tomoki answered with a raised eyebrow.
"..." Sugata stared evenly at Tomoki, as if he was sizing up a predator.
"You're the New World Discovery Club," Tomoki answered with a shrug, "Since this is your 'club's' computer, I kind of figured that this had something to do with your club," He pointed out.
"...More dangerous than people give you credit for," Sugata repeated to himself before nodding, "Yes, you're right. It's an unidentifiable mass of extraordinary size. All forms of observation have failed to help the scientific community decide what it is. But I know what this hole is, and the meaning of your dream," Sugata said dramatically, to which Tomoki decided not to comment, "A distortion of that size, the only thing it could be is a whole new world, waiting up there-" Sugata declared confidently.
"And you think my dream is connected to this country sized UFO?" Tomoki asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Not the words I would use, but yes, and I intend to find the connection and meaning of your dream," Sugata admitted determinedly.
"How did you get to that conclusion?" Tomoki asked skeptically.
"You said that the dreams are becoming more and more frequent?" Sugata reminded, getting a slow nod, "That 'UFO' as you call it will be over Sorami City tonight," He explained.
"...Okay, I'll grant you that one," Tomoki relented, still skeptical.
"Well, it's better than nothing," Sohara said as she patted Tomoki on the back, knowing he wasn't fully convinced, "So, Sugata, what's the plan?" She asked curiously.
"I intend for me and Tomoki to go to the Sakurai tree tonight, when the New World will be over the city," Sugata answered.
"...That sounds a bit weird out of context," Tomoki said uneasily.
"Weird how?" Sugata asked, confused.
"Yaoi~" Mikako answered with a giggle, making Tomoki cringe, Sohara blush and pale at the same time, and Sugata's brow to twitch.
"I'm going to ignore that was ever mentioned," Sugata said with a sigh.
"Sohara? You coming?" Tomoki asked curiously.
Sohara shook her head of images of Tomoki that she genuinely didn't want in her head, "Of course!" She agreed.
"The more the merrier," Sugata agreed.
"Well, have fun all of you~" Mikako said as she took off.
The trio shared a look at the sudden departure of their student president, before Tomoki spoke up, "If any bad happens, it was your idea to come to this guy, Sohara, and it was your idea to do this at all, Sugata," Tomoki said calmly.
"You're the one who isn't protesting," Sugata pointed out.
Tomoki just shrugged at that, "If you want peace and quiet, its best to just roll with whatever life throws at you. Fighting it just makes a bigger mess."
End of Chapter
And there we go, my first Heaven's Lost Property fic. This, obvisouly, is a retelling of the series, adding in a few twists and changes, and adding in a tiny dose of logic. Certain things bothered me about the series- like how Ikaros never defended Tomoki early on against Sohara, that just seemed weird to me.
And as another does of logic, Tomoki has found ways to defend himself against Sohara's chop of doom. And yes, he has a few other changes. He's still as perverted, but less hyper about it, and he's not as obessed with peace and quite. And yes, he and Mikako have nicknames for each other- Mikuza(Mikako+Yakuza) and Eroki(Ero+Tomoki).
Still, this chapter is mostly an introduction to the changes of the main characters- or, more how things have changed due to the alteration to Tomoki's slight character change. I personally didn't mind him as a pervert, but like most fans, I wish he had been a bit more toned down at times. Well, here's your wish people and I hope you enjoy it. Please Read and Review folks!
