Of Heaven and Earth
By: Cherry Romancer
Prologue
Cherry: This was inspired by AkaneTheFox's picture "Angelshipping" on and is my first GX story (though Fire Emblem: Yu-Gi-Oh! Style has GX characters). I hope you like this, Akane, because it's my gift to you! ... Actually, I kinda hope that this'll work as a bribe to update "Boy Princess" as soon as possible.

They were simply fascinating to him. He loved to watch as they went around their everyday lives, simply enjoying the precious gift that was life. Every morning, without fail, he was there to observe them, then he was back in the evening, when the true fun began.
Syrus simply loved to watch the strange creatures called humans.
He would sit for hours, watching them through a special glass that allowed his kind to see down to earth. They were amazing. They had no idea how fortunate they were, to be able to simply live, to enjoy those few precious moments of existance that mortal creatures were granted. He couldn't begin to understand what that was like. Angels were immortal, after all.
Just then, a messager flew to him and told him that he was to report to the head of the Divine Society(1).
Syrus sighed.
Sometimes he really regretted having ever joined the Divine Society as a Seeker(2); he was so good at what he did that he never knew more than a week's worth of rest. Oh well. There wasn't much he could do about it, so he just hurried to speak with the head of the Divine Society; a.k.a., his brother.
"Hello Zane. What's my new assignment to be?" he asked as soon as he entered Zane's office. Zane smiled at him, which scared Syrus clear to his pinfeathers. Zane NEVER smiled. "Zane? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because you're going to be thrilled about your new assignment. It's going to take you down to earth," he responded.
Syrus blinked, then cleared his ears to make sure he had heard right. "Did you say EARTH?" he asked, excitement evident in his voice.
"I most certainly did. We are looking for a fallen angel who has hidden himself among humans."
"Wait. I remember hearing about this before. This was the assignment that I wanted so badly, but it was given to someone else. Why are you calling me in now?" Syrus demanded.
Zane frowned. "You should watch your tone. We may be brothers, but I am still head of the Society, so you must remember to show the proper respect." He stood up from his desk and walked over to his file cabinet. "As for you question, the assignment is turning out to be a bigger job than our agent can handle. We underestimated this guy; he really doesn't want to be found. The reason we are calling you in is because we need our best." He pulled out the file he was looking for and handed it to Syrus. "That's all the information we have so far."
Syrus looked over the file carefully. "Brother, there's no picture," he observed.
"Yes, I know. Our fallen friend tried to wipe all information about himself from our files before he went to earth. This is all that we were able to retrieve about him, plus some of the information that has already been gathered by our agent. Doubtless he will have more for you when you arrive." Zane sat back down. "Now I suggest you go ready yourself. An angel must hide his wings on earth, so be ready to disguise youself for as long as it takes to find him."
"Yes sir. I will be ready within an hour." Syrus started to leave, but then thought of something else. "Why were you so reluctant to give me the job in the first place?"
For the first time in Syrus's memory, Zane looked rather uncomfortable. "Just go get ready," he ordered. Frustrated, Syrus left.

Cherry: I do hope that's a decent start! I'll update as fast as I can! I promise!
(1) The Divine Society oversees the activities of all angels, demons, and fallen angels, and protect those who can't protect themselves, usually humans.
(2) Seekers are an elite sect of the Divine Society, trained to track down, and sometimes destroy, those who are potential threats to the peaceful order the society tries to maintain.
