Kurogane grabbed the broom, Fai desperately trying to pull it out of his grab. Kurogane gave it tug and when Fai fell forward, he slammed the envelop in his face. It might not have counted as if Fai had accepted it, but contact had been made and that would have to do. When the envelop had touched him, Fai had shock and then gone completely still. He stood up and took it. "I like it best, when I do not see people I have reaped again, sir!" yeah well Kurogane wouldn't have anything against staying reaped. Fai open the envelop "Do you know what you are supposed to do?" Kurogane nodded "I have three weeks to go around and play scout, right?" Fai laughed "That is about right" he had taken some papers of the envelop, which had disappeared in that moment, and was flipping through them "But I suppose I have to say it anyway. You, Youou Suwa, has three weeks to redeem yourself. You will with help from an angel, me, make up for as many sins as possible in that time. No one but me will see you as you looked when you were alive, you are a completely unknown person, but nobody is going to question the fact that you first came into existence today. Any questions?" yeah one "Do I have to redeem myself or whatever?" Fai looked at him "In theory no, but I think it would be wise of you to do it, sir" he flashed a smile. "Why? Because I won't like hell? I think I would take hell over heaven any day!" Fai's smile had stayed the whole time "That wasn't why. The reason you will want to do it, is that I have to stay with you, every day of the next three weeks and if do not try to redeem yourself, I will make hell look like a vacation...sir." Shit, he meant it. "So will you, Youou Suwa, do it?" had he any other options? "It's Kurogane! And yeah, I guess I will do it. On one condition, though." Fai crooked his head. Kurogane pointed at him "Lose those clothes. Other people will see you and think you are a loony!" Fai tugged his jacket of "Of course sir!" Kurogane was starting get annoyed "And stop that sir and Mr. thing. Nobody talks like that any more! Call me Kurogane. Oh, and be more relaxed, try to be more happy. You are to serious!" "Okay, Kuro-pon! Now, I found an easy sin, so lets get going!" Before Kurogane could yell at the idiot for not calling him by his name and slaughtering it at the same time, things went white. Oh well, something never change.

It was a forest. A forest! Why the hell was they in a forest? He looked at the angel beside him and saw that Fai's clothes had turned into jeans and a t-shirt, the hat turned to a cap. He would be hard to point out in a crowd and that was probably the reason why Fai had chosen it. Kurogane looked at the forest again, it could be any forest, any where. Nothing stood out, there were nothing he could remember seeing before. "Why are we here?" Fai gave him a paper "One of the first, and smallest, sins you have made, was here. I think it is the easiest starter, Kuro-kun." Kurogane growled at the nickname and read the paper. At first the letters looked weird and then, they slowly transformed into kanji:

"Youou Suwa, age 7: Under scouts practise, Youou Suwa started a fire, thinking it would "spice" things up. No one was hurt, but three trees was burn to the ground and a lot of bushes too. Two trees went out a month later. Plants first starts growing a year later."

Report writing by angel on duty, Kimihiro Watanuki.

This was like a police report! Kurogane looked further down the paper, but the letters there stayed strange. "You can only read the one, I want you too." Fai was bent over, picking small flowers. "You translated that? And you don't want me to see the rest?" Fai move over to some other flowers "It translates itself. And do not worry, you will see the rest at some point. I just don't want them to distract you." yeah right! That's the reason... as if! But Kurogane let it go... for now. "So what do you want me to do. Plant trees?" Fai chuckled, he was to good at the happiness thing "I would like that, Kuro-pi! In the old days, you would be doing that, but times has changed. Nowadays people do not go around planting threes for no reason. And since there is no organisation in the area, doing any forest work, we can't sign it off as that." Fai seemed to turn the happy-O-meter up another five degrees "So instead, you will be picking garbage!" … This wasn't some godly revelation or redemption! This was just normal community service. The kid who collects cans, must be a saint at this rate! Fai, in the mean time, had proceed a bag, from god knows where... The bag was small and brown, it didn't look like it could hold much. A smirk crept on to Kurogane's face and he took the bag, this was going to be easy "I just have to fill the bag, right?"

Five hours later Kurogane threw the bag on the ground "This is bullshit!" He was tried, and at some point it had started raining, so he was also wet and the bag wasn't even half full. In fact it didn't look like there was anything in it. Fai, who had been taking a nap on branch in a nearby tree, look at him as he sat down next to the bag "Well, Kuro-trash, it was you who wanted to fill up the bag. It is admirable, since a Pandoralebag can not easily be fill." Kurogane quickly came on his feet "Pa-Pandoralebag? What the hell is that?" Fai chuckled, why again had he asked him to be more happy? "A Pandoralebag, is like the box, Kuro-sin. You know, Pandora's box? The one with all the evils in?" Kurogane final got it "So basically, it can't be filled?" Fai nodded, Kurogane threw a rock at him "Why the hell didn't you tell me?" His yelling course birds to get in the air. "And ruin all the fun for you, Kuro-san? Never" Kurogane yelled again and started climbing up the tree. "IIIH! The hell puppy is coming after me!" Fai leapt from the branch, the moment Kurogane reached it. He gracefully landed six feet away from the tree, snatched up the bag and started to run, Kurogane close behind. When they stopped running, where they at a train station "Why are we here?" Kurogane was out of breath, but Fai wasn't "I think you have collected enough garbage, Kuro-wan wan. Do you still have that paper?" Kurogane reached into his back pocket and withdrew it, he handed it to Fai "Thanks." Fai took a pen out of thin air. He wrote something on it and Kurogane, oddly enough, felt lighter, if only for a minute "When we get to the bigger sins, it will last longer" Fai suddenly said "And when the three weeks are over, if I have been good at my job, it will disappear completely." The paper had vanished and instead, two trains ticket, had come into existence. "Where are we going?" Since Kurogane was dead, he didn't think they could go to his apartment. "To the place, we have been assigned. It's somewhere near your childhood neighbourhood." Kurogane hadn't been there in years, but as far he remember it consisted of small houses and cheap apartments for students. He hoped they had got a small house, the more space between him and the angel, the better...

Oh, he was so wrong! So wrong! Why had he thought that heaven would spent money on sinners? The apartments was small, damp and smelled weird. There where a kitchen, full of mouldy plates and cups, a small bathroom, with no shower or other places to take a bath, and then a dinner/living/bed-room combination. He looked at the sofa, that was gonna be his bed for the next three weeks and realised how small it was. "Do not worry. Angels don't sleep." Fai took a book from a badly constructed Ikea bookcase. He opened it and there fell some money out of it "Wanna go shopping?" Kurogane took one last look at the room "Yeah... What's that smell?"


Please review! I am waiting to get my grades from a test and could really use some cheering up. Anything will do!
