…. I got a B+! only two points from a A! But I am all alone now, my roomies are home sick, so nobody to celebrate with.
Also, I need ideas for sins Kurogane could have made, and how he could redeem them. I only have a few of my own so please help me. Oh, and I will not have him be a rapist! And he only killed three people, but otherwise, be creative! Please?
Rating: T just to be safe!
Pairings: Will be Sakura/Syaoran later.

Kurogane never liked shopping. Usually he would trust a list and money into some kid's hand and make him do his shoppings or he would just make the kid steal them, but right now, the annoying task worked just fine as a distraction. There had happened so many thing the last twenty-four hours and he would prefer not to think about them. He looked at Fai. The angel pushed the trolley beside him, shoving what seem like random things in to it. He had tried to stop the blonde from putting sweets in it too, but when he looked in Fai's eyes, he realised that it was a battle he could not win. Not without severe damage anyway. "Okay, Kuro-chu, now to the register!" A few people turned at the sudden outburst and Kurogane gave the angel a looked that could kill. But since the angel wasn't really alive, at least not as we know it, he ignored it and hurried down the aisle. Until he suddenly stopped and Kurogane almost walked into him. "Ne, Kuro-sama, I need to go for a while. Can you buy the things?" Fai didn't really look like he was there "Just lay the money on the counter and join me. You don't need to get the exchange, the money will fit, just join me as fast as you can, okay?" Kurogane looked at the angel. Fai's eyes had a dreamy look to them and his head was tilt slightly up to the sky. "Sure. Is everything as it should be?" the blond just nodded and gave him the money, then walked of. That sure was weird!
When it was his turn, and the boy at the end of the counter had began packing his bags, he laid the money on the little desk. The cashier took them and Kurogane snatched up his bags, wanting to get the hell out of there, as quickly as possible. When he was almost at the door, he heard the shout "Sir! Don't you want your money?" he didn't! He wanted to get out of there, so that he could find that stupid angel and find out what godly problem it was that hinder him in buying this crap "I don't need them!" and with that he ran out of the shop. No! He didn't ran, he walk calmly and with dignity out of there. Very very fast.
Someone tapped Kurogane on the shoulder "Excuse me sir, but I really think you would want your exchange money!" The cashier stood behind him, out of breath. She was a small woman with long, black hair, that curled down from two pigtails. "I said I didn't want them!" He didn't have time for this! "I don't want a few yens!" he snapped. "But sir.." He had had enough! "Look girl! I DON'T WANT THEM! You know what? If you are gonna keep bugging the hell out of me about it, then how about this: I donate them to your shop! Keep them all and use them renovate, or some other shit! Just GET OUT OF MY FACE!" The girl looked scared, but he was too angry to really care. The girl ran of.
"Kuro-kun, you are not going to make more sins, are you?" Kurogane turned to find Fai smirking at him. "What the hell do you care! Where were you by the way?" Fai took one of the bags "Where was I when?" he started to walk towards their apartment "Don't start that with me! You got all spacey and then you left! Is it something I should know about?" the angel stopped walking "No it's not. It was... kinda personal?" the smile had disappeared. It was weird not to see him smile after he had smiled that stupid smile for so long. Not that it had been long actually, only about twenty-four hours. "I want some answers! Like, like.. Like what the hell is that Angel card crap? And points for reaped humans? Does you guys get of on that?" The smile was back "Kurogane, I can not answer those questions in public." and with that he walked of.
As soon as Fai had put the groceries in the fridge, Kurogane was at him again "Are you gonna tell me now?" Fai signed and waved him into the 'living room'. "What was it you wanted to know?" Kurogane sat down on the sofa, and felt it give itself a little "Everything!" the godly being laughed "I can not tell you everything! There are some things that humans can never know; like the meaning of life! You ask about the Angel cards, right?" a nod "Okay. The Angel cards are a kind of point system for us angels. When we reap someone we get points. Help living humans see the light and become better humans, we get points. Revelations, points.." Kurogane waved his hand "I get it! What do you use these points to?" Fai signed "Impatience aren't we? We work up points to achieve a goal, just like you are doing. You could say that each time you redeem a sin, you get a point and when you have made enough points, you can go to heaven. Only it's slightly different for us angels. Our work is kinda like community service, we don't have to do it, but we will never get the privileges that was taken from us back if we don't. We can still live in heaven, but it will not be the same." So why do it? "What privileges? Like the privilege to play the harp all day? Or the one that lets you annoy the crap out of people by singing high pitched hymns?" a dark smile spread on the mythical creatures face "To name a few. But the one I miss the most is probably the one that allows us to fly, our wings." Kurogane was speakless, but not completely "Your wings? They take your wings? What kind of crappy god takes his workers wings? And for what reason?" Fai looked away "He takes them to teach us a lesson. He knows they are the thing we love the most. I said we still are allowed to live in heaven, but that those not mean that everything can go on as before. Heaven can be divided into a floor and a ceiling, if you like. Humans likes to make their houses on the floor, because it reminds them of when they were alive. Angels, we make our nest in right under the ceiling, because we like the feeling of air under our wings. When we do something that God disapproves of, he takes our wings. By removing them, we are force to be on the ground the whole time and we cannot see our family in the skies any more. It is enough to make even the most strong willed angel, to sign up to Angel card. In the end it all works out, though, and we all return to where we belong, just like God meant it to be. For what I am doings this for, though, will be my secret." a long silence followed. Kurogane didn't know what too think. This seem so cruel. Why was Fai, hell any angel, still faithful towards such a unfair god? If they do one thing, he doesn't like, he punish them by taking the most precious thing they have? And making them unable to see their family! Kurogane knew how hard it was not to be able to see your family. But didn't the Bible say something about 'turning the other cheek'? Kurogane couldn't stop a yawn from coming over his lips. "You must be tired, Kuro-pi! And you will have a long day tomorrow, so get that lazy ass to bed!" Kurogane could almost feel a vein propping, why on earth had he felt sorry for this guy? "I decide when I go to bed!" another yawn "And I will go to bed now!"
When he had brushed his teeth and change clothes, Kurogane laid down under the blanket on the coach. "Goodnight Kuro-san" Fai chipped from the kitchen, where he was reading a book. "Yeah, goodnight." Kurogane tugged the blanket longer up "God! What is that smell?"
That's it for now! And I know it's not God who talks about 'turning the other cheek', it's Jesus his son, but Kurogane doesn't know that much about religion, or he doesn't care.
