Angels and Demons by Ransomed Heart
I do not own Card Captor Sakura.

"Yes, I understand. I will train the new recruit."
"Good. He will arrive shortly. Meet him at the Tenshi Terminal in a half hour and report back to me."
"Yes my Lord." Sakura bowed low and backed out of the room. Sometimes being a high-up angel had it's major disadvantages. Like the training of new warriors to fight the oppressive demons plauging the planet. However, the Supreme Being obviously thought she was the best for the job. Sakura pouted inwardly as she marched down the hallway towards the main gate. She had never been allowed into battle, and spent most of her days training the younger angels or doing spy work.
"Sakura!" The angel turned slowly to see another figure, clad in a pale blue robe exactly like the one which Sakura wore except in color, racing toward her down the long white corridor. "What did the Supreme Being want?"
Sakura gave a dismissive wave. "I'm supposed to train a new recruit. This should be fun, Tomoyo,we get to have a novice tagging along on our missions."
"Oh, come on, how bad could it be," Tomoyo smiled. "At least we'll see some action instead of sitting around up here all of the time. Sometimes I think that Naoko, Chiharu and Rika have all the fun!"
Sakura laughed. "Me too! Maybe this won't be so bad. I better go, see you later, partner!"
"Bye Sakura!" Tomoyo waved as the pink-robed angel swept off down the hallway towards the Tenshi Terminal to pick up her new charge.
Li Syaoran pulled the black robe off over his head, exchanging it for a green one. He cast a dark look down at it. It wasn't so much that he looked bad in green, but that he wasn't used to it. He liked wearing black. It blended in better with the shadows.
"Green really is your color," a voice put in. Syaoran turned to face his companion in the train car,
Hiiragizawa Eriol, with a withering glare. Eriol laughed. "I was just joking."
"Demons really shouldn't joke." Syaoran turned away again.
"And angels shouldn't be so serious," Eriol scolded to his back.
"I'm not an angel."
"You are now, at least temporarily. Try to have fun with it."
"There is absolutely nothing fun about going under cover as an angel."
Eriol chose to ignore that comment, instead giving Li his last minute instructions. "Report at least once a week. If you don't come to me, I'll come to you. Don't loose your temper, you're supposed to be a saint now." The last comment came with a smirk.
"We're almost there, you better leave," Syaoran responded.
"Very well then. See you in a week." Li turned just in time to see Eriol vanish.
A few minutes later, a voice came over the intercom. "We are now arriving at Tenshi Terminal. Please prepare to exit the train." Syaoran picked up his bag, which contained only a spare robe and identifiction papers certifying him as an angel. The train came to a painfully slow stop and he made his way towards the exit.
"Welcome to heaven," he muttered sarcastically. "Or hell, depending upon how you look at it."
