Living the life of a Celestial Being wasn't all it was chalked up to be. They didn't all have wings and cool powers after all; that was reserved for those that went the extra mile and were massive kiss-asses. God just so happened to have his sides; those that got on the good one were graced, those that got on the bad one were banished to hell, and those that stayed neutral got nothing. At all. Their Supreme Creator liked those that tried a 'little' harder than everyone else and tended to play favorites.
For Watanuki, living the life of a lower class individual was as close to having a permanent residency ticket in hell as an existence in heaven would allow. None of the others got chased by obsessed demons and homicidal spirits that lingered near the outskirts of the city, of that he was perfectly certain. Sometimes he wondered about it, thinking on why he was the only person he'd heard of in the entire city that was chased regularly by rogue apparitions, pondering on the injustice of it all.
Of course, his outlook on life became much bleaker than before when he first started getting saved by one of societies more privileged souls, Doumeki Shizuka. The man was talented, strong, and, most of all, loved. The taller teenager had been granted powers of exorcism by God and, lately, had taken to following him around insistently and ridding him of any and all the pests that had haunted him for years. He was understandably annoyed though; no one enjoyed having the fact that they were lower than someone else constantly flaunted before them. It didn't help that the gifted boy found him amusing and seemed to delight in dragging severe -and mostly negative- reactions out of him.

Well, there you go. I tried typing these out a bit ago, but then I got completely enraptured with South Park again... :D ← Sheepish, by the way.
