Running off the comic, I decided to dip my hand in how I though this planned out. As I mentioned before, I have a different version of Devil In Your Soul on my AO3 account. This story play off of that one. I hate that I can't put Lilith and Ibriel as the main characters, but well. Enjoy!

Ibriel was buried in his work. His papers littered all edges of the floor. It was impossible to decipher what the angel was actually working on. All of it was mix-matched sketching of something bigger. Not a single piece would be able to give you an idea of what he was working on.

Unaware of his surroundings, Gabriel cleared his throat to announce his presence.

Ibriel slowly looked up from his work.

As his eye laid on his brother, he stood up straight. In a frantic fit, he tried covering his papers. His work wasn't complete, he didn't want anyone seeing the full picture before it was finished.

"Gabriel… What can I do for you?"

Gabriel raised his eyebrow at his brother's actions. He walked around to get a better look at what his brother was hiding. Before he could get a clear idea of what his brother was working on, Ibriel quickly stepped in front of him.

"What can I do for you, Gabriel?" Ibriel pressed.

"I need you to check in on someone for me." He extended his foot out to look over a sketch that was on the floor.

"Who?"

"Lilith." He dismissed the paper and looked up at his brother.

"Lilith? The human father kicked out of the garden?" He looked at his brother confused. "I… I'm not trained to interact with humans. Why me? Surely it's Michael's responsibility to handle the humans."

"Michael is preoccupied."

"Preoccupied? This is his job… I don't deal with the humans."

"Well you are dealing with this one today."

"But… but why me? Sure Samael can go in my stead, replace one face for the other. She won't know it's not Michael."

"Watch your tongue, you know Samael doesn't like being used as a substitute for Michael. I'm asking you, so do it."

"But why me? Surely someone else can do this. Raguel, Raphael, Amenadiel…"

Gabriel laid a hand on Ibriel's shoulder, "I'm asking you because you need to get out. You're too cooped up in here. You need to get some fresh air… and we might need the space to hold a ceremony for Michael."

"And there it is." Ibriel rolled his eyes. He moved out of Gabriel's hold and started collecting his paperwork. "What is father planning?"

"He's elevating Michael, something about chief… I wasn't really listening."

"Chief?" Ibriel shook his head. "I would have thought father would have given that position to Amenadiel."

"Father has his reasons, but for the meantime, he has Michael doing other things to keep him distracted. I need you to do this errand for him."

"Why can't you go?" Ibriel whined.

"Because I'm older than you." He helped his brother gather up his papers. "It should be fast."

"What exactly do I have to do?" He took the papers from his brother and placed them under his armpit.

"I need you to relocate Lilith away from the garden…"

"Relocate? No no no no no," Ibriel started shaking his hands around no longer interested in the conversation.

"Ibriel!"

"No, I am not trained to communicate with humans."

"She isn't human anymore. She's decided to lay with demons. She is no longer one of them. Treat her as you wish. Just get the job done."

Gabriel left his brother with no more words. Ibriel stood in the hall clutching his paper. He wasn't sure how he was supposed to get the job done.

.

.

Ibriel circled his room not entirely sure how to go about talking to Lilith. He'd never met the woman. He didn't even know what she looked like.

Determined to get the job done, he pulled his knapsack off the rack and put some food in a pouch. If he had to bribe his way, he'd do it.

Ibriel went ahead and placed it over his shoulder and walked out of the room. He managed to get halfway down the corridor before Gabriel stopped him.

"Ibriel! Wait up."

"Please tell me you've rethought your decision to let me go in your stead."

"Nope, you're still going. I actually wanted to give you this." He pulled out a medium size sword, one he knew his brother could wield.

"What am I going to need this for?"

"Protection, of course."

"I…" He took the sword out of his brother's hands and looked over the craftsmanship. "I don't know how to wield a sword."

"That's fine. The sword will do all the work. One look at it and all the demons will keep their distance."

"How… how many demons are we talking about?" He had never been out before, he was already nervous leaving home. The thought of there being an alarming amount as already worrying him.

"I'm not exactly sure, father failed to mention the number to me."

"What!" Ibriel handed the sword back to his brother, but Gabriel strapped it to his brother's belt.

"You can do this Ibriel. You need to do this. You're always locked away not socializing."

"I'm not socializing for a reason! I'm trying to create…"

"Enough, you can talk about your work when you come back."

Gabriel started directing his brother outside the corridors.

"Fine… so I find Lilith and tell her to move where?"

"Anywhere but the outside of the garden. She and her spawn are too close for father's liking."

"Okay… okay, I can do that." He tried convincing himself.

"Good! So I'll see you in a little bit." Gabriel slapped his brother back and sent him out.

.

.

Ibriel landed outside the garden expecting to come into contact with Lilith but found the place barren. There was no one around. He gave the area a once over before completely giving up.

He searched high and low but found nothing for miles.

As he was flying by, he found a small figure off in the distance. He followed the creature and cut it off before it could disappear.

"Excuse me," Ibriel asked. "You wouldn't happen to know where I could find Lilith, would you?"

The creature was small and non threatening, he didn't see the need to use his sword. It stood no taller than three feet compared to his six.

It pinched its nose and talked in another language. Ibriel kneeled down to get a better look at it.

"I didn't quite get that, can you repeat that?"

It went off and rambled again in it native tongue. Ibriel frowned.

"That's okay…" he stood back up and looked out into the distance. "I'll keep looking."

As the angel started to walk, the creature grabbed a hold of his garment and pulled him along.

"Are you leading me to Lilith?" he asked.

He put his trust into the creature and let it lead him off to where he could find the human.

While Ibriel let the creature lead him, he took the time to observe the little monster. He'd never seen anything like it before. It walked on two legs like him. It's flesh was different, the creature had scales. It looked to have the same texture as leather. It's hands held claws, sharp enough to cut through anything. Ibriel found it interesting with its bat-like wings and long tail.

Too busy observing the creature, he failed to know the direction in which he'd been dragged. By the time he looked up he had no idea where he was. There were boulders all around him. The space was tight. His wings were scrapping along the rocks. No longer able to move any further, Ibriel stopped.

The creature squawked at him trying to get him to move. It began pulling at him harder to try and get him through.

"I can't go any further, my wings are in the way," he replied.

The creature pulled and pulled until it couldn't anymore. Unsatisfied it couldn't get Ibriel to move, it ran away.

"Wait!" he tried to move back, but it was too late, he was stuck.

Off in the distance he could hear footsteps advancing. He looked up to find pebbled falling from above. He shielded his eyes and looked away.

"Help!" he called out.

A squawk called out in return and he found the creature back with a few more friends. Ibriel looked down, scared that there were now seven creatures around him.

"Keep away!"

They rushed over to Ibriel and started climbing on top of him, their claws scratching into his flesh.

"Ah! Get off!"

One by one the creatures helped push the angel out of stop. His wings bent in positions he didn't know they could. As he slipped out, he winced. Four creatures were hanging onto his wings clutching for dear life.

"Off!"

He shook his wings, sending the creatures flying onto the ground. The tiny things crashed onto the ground with hard thuds. They spoke out in protest and went their own way. The only one that bothered to stick around was the first creature Ibriel met.

"You could have warned me," he argued.

Unaware what he said the creature tilted his head in response.

"You can't understand a word I say, can you?" Ibriel sighed. "Fine, just take me to Lilith."

It understood that and grabbed onto him once more, leading him down the terrain. Off in the distance, he could see a cave. The creature began to bounce as they got closer. It called out a noise to notify their arrival.

A woman with nothing but a skirt on came out of the cave. Ibriel looked down at the ground not at all sure if it was appropriate to look upon her. Lilith smiled as she looked upon the new comer.

"Mer, you may run along thank you for beginning me a visitor."

The creature waved up at Ibriel before it left the area.

"You must be Michael," she smiled at the angel. "I have to say, you are a lot scrawnier than I had expected." Her smile brightened as she noticed Ibriel wasn't looking her in the eye.

"I…" he cleared his throat, "My name is Ibriel, not Michael." He kept his eyes glued to the ground.

"Ibriel," she repeated the name over and let it adjust to her lips. "What an interesting name. Well Ibriel, I'm sure you know it's rude to talk to the ground and not face to face."

"You are naked…"

"I am," she said wickedly. "I was unaware being naked was a sin."

"It's not… but it'd… help…" he was having a hard time getting the words out.

"It'd help with the urges," she finished. "Very well," she sighed. She beckoned Ibriel into the cave so she could find something to cover herself.

Ibriel followed her inside. As her back turned on him, he felt comfortable looking up.

"What brings a son of Heaven all the way out here?"

Ibriel watched as Lilith tried to find a piece of material long enough to cover herself. When she couldn't, he unclipped his robe and slid it off his shoulders.

"Here," he offered.

"Oh… you'd give me your clothing?"

"You may borrow it," he replied.

"Thank you." She took the large cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders.

The material was soft. She wrapped it loosely around her shoulders and offered a seat on one of the boulders by the fire. Ibriel voiced his thanks and had himself a seat.

"What can I do for you Ibriel?"

"I was instructed to move you away from the garden but… you're nowhere near it."

"Of course not, I know I'm not welcomed near the garden. As you noticed, I'm leagues away."

"I can see that…"

"So it was a wasted trip?" she asked.

Ibriel let out a laugh.

"I guess it was."

Lilith watched the angel in front of her with fascination. He was nice. All the angels she'd heard about were mean and cruel. This one was different.

"I hope none of the demons gave you any trouble," she motioned to the sword on his waist.

"What?" he looked down at the sword and shook his head. "No. I actually haven't seen any."

"Mer is a demon," she pointed out.

"The tiny fellow?"

Lilith let out a laugh.

"Yes, him and his siblings occupy this terrain. They warn me of any visitors."

"Are they your…" he cleared his throat, "children?"

"No, they were here before me. My children are larger in size," she chuckled. "If you didn't see them around, I'm not sure where they are at the moment."

"Oh… then no I haven't seen any other demons around."

"That's a good thing. I wouldn't want you getting hurt."

"Hurt?" he asked.

"Some of the demons are rather vicious and don't take kindly to visitors."

"Are you safe? I can see if something can be arranged…"

"Oh sweetie I am fine," she reached out and touched his thigh. "A touch here and a touch there and they are nothing but men."

Ibriel looked down at her hand not sure what to do with it. There was panic in his eyes. Lilith smiled as she pulled her hand away.

"You're young aren't you?"

"I…" he tried talking but nothing was coming out.

"You are," she purred. "I'll play nice, I wouldn't want to scare you away."

"I really should be going..."

"So soon?"

"My job was to ask you to relocate, but seeing as you are a good distance away… I don't see the importance of me staying any longer."

"Communication. Someone to talk to. It's been awhile since I've talked in this tongue, it's nice to have someone like me around."

"We are not alike. I'm a son of God. You are human… a disgraced human."

She looked away as Ibriel uttered the words. To say they didn't hurt was an understatement.

"I'm sorry…"

"No, you said what you said. It is what I am."

Ibriel stood from his seat.

"I uh… I should leave." He began walking backwards out of the cave. Once he reached the entrance he turned around and found Lilith next to him. "I'm sorry for the words."

"Here," she tried slipping his cloak off her shoulder, but Ibriel stopped her.

"Keep it, nightfall is coming. I wouldn't want you freezing."

Lilith wrapped it securely around her shoulders and smiled up at Ibriel.

"Thank you."

"I uh…" He pulled the knapsack off his shoulders, "here."

"What is it?" she accepted the bag not sure what was inside.

"Food. I'm not sure if there is anything out here for you to eat, so you may have this."

"Oh! Thank you... You really don't have to do this."

"Think of it as an apology. I'm sorry it couldn't be more."

She looked inside and gasped.

"There are fruits from the garden… I can't eat these."

"They are safe. My brother Samael plucked them himself. He brings them over for us to try. They are perfectly safe."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, if you don't want them I can…"

"No. I'll take them," she said eagerly. Ibriel chuckled.

"As I said accept it as an apology."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome…" he looked away and out into the sky. "I should get going, my brother will be wanting me back."

"Then I shouldn't keep you any longer. It was nice meeting you, Ibriel."

"It was nice meeting you as well Lilith," he bowed his head and took off.

.

.

Once he returned back home he went back to his work. Since his work hall was occupied by Goddess decorating things for Michael, he camped out by the pits. His papers littered the floor.

Samael walked out into the courtyard looking at the ground around Ibriel.

"What are you working on brother?"

"Huh?" He looked up.

"What are you working on?" Samael pointed to the paper on the floor.

"Oh!" He stood from the floor. "It's a structure that could help with father's ever growing plans." He smiled down at his work with pride.

"Amenadiel is in charge of structural plans… has father tasked you to help?" He asked with curiosity.

"Well, uh no…" Ibriel frowned.

"I see…" he looked down at the pictures, taking in the details.

"I'm going to show Amenadiel… I wouldn't do this without his approval first."

"Smart. I don't think he'd take too kindly to anyone taking his job…" Samael crouched down and studied the work.

"Oh I wouldn't be taking it… I wouldn't dream of doing that." Ibriel started to look worried.

"Relax Ibriel, I won't tell him. It looks good. What would this building be used for?"

"Housing for all of us… uh, a place for all of us to gather and talk."

"We have huts already…"

"This will be better. Luxurious… something for each of us."

"Huh," Samael stood up. "I like it. What about this part over here?"

"That?" Ibriel moved over to where his brother motioned to. "That's the part for the humans. I overheard father mention he wanted them closer to us. He hates how close Lilith is to them."

"What would happen to the garden?"

"I… uh I don't know."

"I'd look into that. I do like this layout. Should you need help I'm willing to offer my services."

"You like it?" Ibriel had the brightest smile on his face.

"Why wouldn't I?" Samael let out a chuckle.

"I… I don't know. This is great news!"

"Show me all of it, I'd like to see its entirety."

Ibriel ran over to his bag and pulled out a blueprint. Samael chuckled as he watched his brother wrestle with the papers in his bag.
