Disclaimer: I don't own Angelic Layer. Clamp does.
Chapter two – The Initiation of a Deus
"Hey, Hotaru, you make your angel yet?"
"'Course. Her name's Inochi. I guess you think that's odd."
"Nope. Mine's called Michi."
"Listen, Yase. I've been thinking."
"Yeah? What?"
"Well when Angelic Layer was just a TV show, the girl in it, knew how to sew."
"Your point being?"
"How are we gonna get our angels clothes?"
"We'll just hafta buy some ready made things or pay for customised costumes but they are so expensive and I'm skint"
"I can use the money I was saving up to buy an angel to get our angels customised clothes. I should have enough by now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Piffle Princess
Hotaru looked around the costumes' section of Piffle Princess. The shelves had every kind of costume imaginable. Ballet costumes, ninja costumes, angel costumes and even priest costumes. Hotaru stared stunned. "Hey, Hotaru. We should go to the customised costumes creator now." Hotaru appeared not too notice. She was in heaven. There were enough accessories to keep her here for a year. "HO-TA-RU!!!" Hotaru looked up dreamily. "You say anything, Yase?" Yase sighed.
The creator strode up to them. "Can I help you lassies?" He spoke with a broad Scottish accent. "Yes, please. We've brought designs of costumes and we'd like you to create them for us please," smiled Yase.
"Oh, aye and are ye planning to pay me for this, eh?"
"Of course," retorted Hotaru, deeply offended.
"Lesse your drawings then." They passed them to him and he smiled. "You've put a fair bit o' work into these I see. Well I'll do my best to them justice."
"Arigato gozimasu*," the friends chorused. The man nodded and went into his work station. "I can't wait to see them can you?"
"No," replied Hotaru excitedly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next day at Piffle Princess
Hotaru and Yase practically charged into Piffle Princess almost knocking a startled customer down. They ran to the creator's workstation. He was standing there smiling I got 'em done. Spent half the night on 'em too."
"Oh, that was very kind," said Hotaru appreciatively.
" No problem. I like to help enthusiastic lassies."
Hotaru took the costume that was for Inochi. It was a blue jumper with a gold neckline and a gold I in the centre. This was outlined in red. There were ordinary blue trousers. The shoes were black boots with gold laces. The top of the boot was red and the heels were red. Attached to the boots was a brown tassel with red beads between the ball of the tassel and the fringe. He had also made red bracelets with similar tassels only the ball of these tassels was black. A hair band that would circle her head had been created which was like the bracelets only the tassel was similar to the boots tassel. Lastly there was the blue angel cords and at the end of them there were guess what? Tassels. These had black balls and were like the boots tassels.
Hotaru carefully placed these items on Inochi. They suited her perfectly. "But something's missing," murmured Hotaru. She looked around at the accessories. "I know!" She chose a brown leather belt with gold thread through it. She tied it to Inochi's waist. "There. Perfect!" She showed it to Yase. "Do you like it?"
"Awesome. What do you think of Michi?" Yase held up an angel with long purple hair, which reached her waist and grey eyes. She wore a top that was seemingly at black but at different times different colours seemed to glint on it. Sewn into the top were silver stars. She wore black baggy trousers and a dark blue cape. Its clasp was a silver star and moon. "She's beautiful!" breathed Hotaru. The both looked happily at their angels. "Aren't you gonna go try them out?" queried the creator. Hotaru and Yase laughed they couldn't believe they'd forgotten to go test them out. They rushed up to the practice layers. "Could we book a layer, please?" gasped Yase
"You can. Here. Use layer 16. Is this your first time? I've seen you hanging around but never playing."
"Yes, we're newbies," replied Hotaru.
"Well you know," said the clerk leaning forward, " that a lot of deuses say once you perform your entry into the layer for the first time it's like you are an initiated deus."
"Cool," whispered Hotaru. They smiled and strode to the layer. "Here we go then!"
Yase placed her visor on her head and held Michi above her head. "Michi, show me the path to victory!!! Angel, fall in!!! " Michi leapt into the layer she twirled slowly then as she landed upon the floor she undid the clasp of the cloak and tossed it dramatically out of the layer. Yase glowed with pride. "Your turn. Hotaru"
Hotaru took the visor and placed it on her head. She used an underarm throw to send Inochi into the layer. "Inochi sing the song within your soul. Angel, fall in." Inochi did a somersault, raised her arms high above her head and twirling her hands still above her head landed brought her hands into a defence position.
Hotaru looked at Inochi and smiled happily. She was now an initiated deus and she was ready to do some damage.
