A/N: Inspired by a YohaRiko fan art by chichan54 on tumblr, I ended up creating a ll! ss! AU involving Angels and Demons.

I have no idea what I am involving myself into, but here we go...

Thank you to berryargento for letting me bounce ideas and helping out with the AU! (she also suggested the title because I suck at titles)


Yoshiko (or Yohane, as she demands to be called) is just a step above being at the bottom of the Hierarchy but instead of doing actual work, she decides to play pranks most of the time. Her superior eventually pushes a job onto her and sends her off to Numazu City in hopes that her potential doesn't go to waste.


A cackle escapes from the shadows of the dark armory as a blue-haired angel shuffles around the tight area, being mindful of not knocking down any of the hanging weapons. There's a mischievous gleam to her magenta eyes as she holds a bottle containing a clear adhesive (Hanamaru used it to fix any of her books if they were somehow damaged, she wouldn't notice if the bottle was missing, right?), carefully applying it along wooden poles and handles.

"Uuuu... I-I don't know if this is a good idea, Yoshiko-chan-"

She feels green eyes staring meekly at her and hears a small whisper-she glares at the green eyes, narrowing at the name 'Yoshiko'. The girl whimpers, "Y-Y-Yohane..."

Yoshiko nods her head in approval before she points outside with her freehand, "Go back to keeping watch, Ruby!" She hisses quickly, "If we get caught then everything to this point will be for nothing!"

Another whimper comes from Ruby, and Yoshiko hears something along the lines of 'I-I just hope Big Sis won't be super mad..." before she turns around to peer outside the wooden door. Yoshiko notices Ruby's small, white wings beating nervously and she nearly laughs-this was all for fun, why is she nervous?

Ah, then again, if Dia did find out, she would probably send the both of them to the depths of Hell and back as punishment.

It takes another ten minutes and a few close calls (the people who come by are just walking to the courtyard thankfully), and Yoshiko glides to Ruby's side before planting her sandals on the ground and holds her head up high. "This'll cause a big one." She cackles again, before slapping Ruby's shoulder, "C'mon, let's go, I can't wait to see the look on Dia's face!"

With no one around, Yoshiko takes two leaps forward before unfurling and batting her white wings to take off to find a safe spot above. She hears Ruby do the same, although not as prideful as she was.

A wicked smile spreads on Yoshiko's face as they hide away on a cloud that overshadows the armory. Dia is going to be in for a surprise today...


New Angels at the bottom of the Hierarchy have the most common schedule. In the morning they will participate in lectures and studies that involve the many rules of Heaven and their job to protect humans from beings of the Underworld. In the afternoon they participate in several of survival training exercises.

All Angels have gone through these mundane lessons before, so to Yoshiko, knowing which day they are doing combat training is easy. And to make it even better, her superior-the Angel that directly watches her (her mentor she supposes), is head of combat training.

A squeal escapes one of the angels that just went into the armory where Heaven's practice weapons is stored. She comes flailing out, knocking over a couple of other recruits who rushed earlier at her scream. White wings are spread out, but there's a few wooden polearms stuck in the confines of the feathers.

Yoshiko giggles, her own wings spreading out in glorious freedom and amusement, as she watches the chaos slowly spread. From next to her, she hears a small pitiful whimper from Ruby, a small 'the poor girl...' leaving her mouth.

She pointedly ignores her, enjoying the show as more and more curious recruits show up. Some try to help the first victim but others go into the armory, before leaving with their own curses and exclamations as more weapons are glued to parts of themselves.

The blue-haired Angel above tries not to fall off the cloud and give away her position. A loud, commanding voice booms below and magenta eyes peer over the cloud, instantly lighting up as she sees a familiar, black-haired Angel carefully glide into the area-demanding to know what is happening.

At Dia's strict voice, Ruby can't handle watching anymore and instantly shoots up into the sky above. She hastily tells Yoshiko she's going to try and find Hanamaru and give her back her glue. The small angel flies away faster than Yoshiko has ever seen her.

She blinks though, noticing that Ruby completely forgot the glue next to her, and snickers, before going back to the show below. She's almost rolling on the cloud in laughter as she watches Dia try to rip a spear that is caught in one of the wings of a recruit.

Knowing that Dia probably can sense her from below, she slowly pushes herself upwards and beats her wings. She flies away from the chaos, humming a dark playful tune to herself.

Yoshiko gets a message later on, from one of Dia's right-hand, her 'champion' as she playfully calls herself that Dia wants to see her in her office immediately.


Yoshiko's laughter rings throughout the small office as she leans back in the arm chair, dangling her legs off of the side (she dared not throw her feet on top of the desk in front of her, the multiple bruises on her calves is still healing). "You should have seen the look on your face, Dia!"

She continues to rag on about the angry look on Dia's face earlier that day. Of course she would never admit that she was the one who applied the glue to all the weapons. Yoshiko can see Dia's brow twitch and small movements from her folded white wings, as they also twitch at her annoyance.

"Yoshiko-san, do you understand how much trouble you caused?" Dia's voice is steady but from the way she bit the bottom of her lip gently, she's trying to mask the anger. Yoshiko knows how to push her buttons as she laughs and stretches out in the arm chair.

"I'm not even sure what you're getting at. I, Yohane, just happened to be passing by, when I saw you trying to untangle a pair of new recruits from some clear adhesive that was stuck to their equipment." She explains, tilting her head back to stop herself from laughing any further.

"You can't say it was me!"

"You're the only one who does this!"

It's the first reaction Yoshiko gets out of Dia in a long time, and she's trying to hide the smirk that wants to break out on her face. Yoshiko finally shrugs, "I have no idea what you're talking about. You mistaken me, Dia." She places a hand on her chest, "My luck is terrible, everything that involves me is because of this horrible luck."

A low groan escapes Dia's lips as green eyes narrow at her, "The fact that such a talented angel has only gone up one rank from the bottom, is because of this horrible luck of yours, yes?"

"See, see!" Yoshiko's enthusiasm leaps through as she pushes her upper body upwards to lean closer to Dia. "You understand!"

"Then maybe you can finally turn that luck of yours around in this next assignment." Dia promptly cuts her off, shoving a folder in the face of her young angel. "Mari-san gave this to me earlier today and insisted that it will be a good mission for you to show how talented you are and to finally get you further up the hierarchy. Hanamaru and even that bumbling sister of mine has passed you and you all started..."

Yoshiko takes the folder with a small grumble as she starts to flip through the files inside, tuning out of Dia's rant. She seems to always go through one of these at least once a day-especially if it involved Ruby. She mentally notes not to tell Dia that Ruby was with her earlier.

The job seemed like a simple watch job. There's been sightings and signs of demons from the Underworld in a seaside town called Numazu City and the Angels above wished for someone to be there to prevent it from getting out of hand. She slowly nods her head as she swings herself out of the chair, "Sure, sure, I'll do this." She waves the file to get Dia's attention.

Dia blinks, coughing into her palm to straighten herself out. "Very well. Prepare yourself for a long mission, you will not be back for a while unless it is urgent. Meet Mari-san at the gates to receive your things before taking off."

The younger angel turns on her heel, wings lazily flapping back and forth to stretch themselves out from being cramped in the chair for too long. "Hey Dia." She tilts her head backwards to see her superior in the corner of her eye, "Maybe you should teach the recruits next time to be more aware of their surroundings." She dashes out of the office, grinning at the angry retort that is lost behind her.


It doesn't take long for Yoshiko to gather her things for her job below. She doesn't need a lot as most things are provided in the apartment she would be staying in. When she arrives at the gate that serves as the entrance and exit to Heaven, a blonde Angel is standing nearby, white wings unfurled behind her, stretching wide.

"Oi, Mari!" Yoshiko calls as she waves to the blonde and glides down next to her. Mari-Dia's 'champion' as she calls herself (the other Angels also call her that, but Dia herself remains oblivious to this name), smiles, waving back and holds up a small, leather bounded folder.

"Yohane~ I heard you caused quite the ruckus today." She greets as she hands Yoshiko the folder. Yoshiko laughs in response, "I have no idea what you're saying, I, Yohane, would never do such a thing!" She puffs out her chest, but winks teasingly.

Mari giggles as she gestures to her folder in her free hand. "Anyway, make sure not to lose that folder. It would be bad if our precious Yohane is left on the street for the wolves to eat~"

Yoshiko snorts, "I can handle a few demon pups, easy." She flicks her hair. "Any other suggestions before I leave, Mom?"

"Hmmm..." Mari leans in, making Yoshiko blink in surprise at the sudden closeness, feeling a bit nervous at the small smirk that's on her lips. "Make sure not to fall in love!" A finger flicks her forehead playfully and Yoshiko stumbles back with a loud yelp.

She rubs the spot on her forehead in annoyance as Mari giggles at her, "Love between a human is forbidden after all!" She exclaims, pausing only for a second before gasping exaggeratedly. "It would even be more scandalous if it was a demon!"

At that statement, Yoshiko rolls her eyes and snorts, "Me fall in love? Don't be silly Mari," she waves her hand dismissively at her as she gathers her things now, "I, Yohane, anger the God all the time, but to Sin? That's funny." She waves her off and turns around to descend to the Earth below.

"Wish me luck!"

"Good luck~"

In the back of her mind, Yoshiko knows that luck is never on her side.


Yoshiko rummages through the documents that Mari gave her in the small leather bounded folder. It contained several of things that has to do with her being a human since she would have to fit in during her stay in Numazu City. This included the location of the apartment she would be staying at, some money and cards for living expenses, and her ID.

Her eyes scrutinize the characters that is written on her ID card, and she huffs. "She wrote the WRONG name!" She loudly proclaims, and fumbles for a marker that she learned to carry with her in her pocket. Marking a large 'X' over 'Yoshiko' and scribbling in the characters 'Yohane'.

With a triumphant smirk, she pockets the ID and continues down the street to her apartment, and her new home for the next while.
