This sucks, said Dark.

It's your fault! If you hadn't insisted on going to see what the humans were doing we wouldn't be stuck in this damn mirror!

How in the Pit was I supposed to know that the idiots were trying to create new life?!

You got us into this mess Betzalel, you get us out or I swear to Father I will strangle you! Krad said in irritation.

Dark, or as he used to be known before he was sealed into a mirror of all things four hundred years ago, Betzalel stuck out his tongue at his twin brother Arael.

The two of them had left heaven with Gabriel, mostly because they were in agreement with the arch angel. They had no desire to be caught up in Micheal and Lucifer's bitch fit about who their father loved best.

Dark sighed...until he saw a likely candidate coming in.

Satoshi would likely be glad to be rid of Krad's presence once and for all.


Satoshi had come down to the Black Wings, mostly because he had felt it becoming active again. Meaning Krad was likely trying to get out.

Yo.

Satoshi froze. He knew that voice.

"Dark?"

Yup. Listen, we want to make a deal. Let me borrow your body for a few days and you'll never have to worry about Krad somehow breaking free and taking over your body ever again.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Because this mirror couldn't possibly contain our full forms if we really went all out. And if we forced our way out then Krad would have to take over your body completely since you've held his soul before. We don't want to be in here, and you don't want us stealing bodies.

"And what keeps you from doing it anyway?"

Look brat, I just need your permission to borrow your body for about a week so I can find our older brother and get our own damn vessels rather than use some other poor bastard. I don't have to be so nice, said Dark crankily.

Satoshi blinked, as he had never heard of that term before. Dark and Krad always had tamers, not vessels.

"Fine. But you had better hold up your end of the deal," said Satoshi.

He felt something take hold of his body before he passed out. At least Dark had been nicer about it than Krad.

Betzalel stretched a bit before he walked out. He flipped off his brother in the mirror and smirked when he heard Arael cuss him out for it.

Then he went flying.


"Hey bro. Long time no see," said an unfamiliar voice behind him.

Loki (formerly Gabriel) turned to find...a blue haired teenager? Was that even a natural hair color?

"Do I know you?"

"Cut the crap Gabriel, we need a favor."

He stiffened. Then he relaxed when he felt the Grace from the teen hit him.

"How in the pit did you find a blue haired teenager?"

"It's his natural hair color, if you can believe it. Look, Arael and I have gotten a bit stuck and if we try to break our way out it'll be like sending a heavenly calling card. And we really don't want to deal with Micheal's bitching again."

Gabriel (and this was Gabriel now) grinned. He loved dealing with Betzalel and Arael, they were a hoot!

"Whatcha need?"

"Two custom vessels. I have the images for what we want them to look like, and our full forms aren't going anywhere. The kid said I could borrow his body for a week, so we have some time," said Betzalel with a shrug.

"Oh I have to hear this. I'll make 'em in exchange for that story. I haven't heard from you two chuckleheads in what, four hundred years?"

"There's a good explanation for that, and if you make the vessels we'll be happy to tell you. Knowing you, you'll laugh at us for it," said Betzalel.

"This is gonna be good," said Gabriel with unholy glee.


Like Betzalel had predicted, Gabriel laughed his ass off when he found out what happened. He found it hilarious that his brothers had been stuck in teenagers for the past four hundred years because Betzalel got too curious.

Arael was a bit annoyed with their brother, but he was more concerned on what his former 'tamer' would do once he woke up.

And Satoshi was less than pleased to see him face-to-face again.

"Let me get this straight. You two (he looked between 'Dark' and 'Krad') are actually angels. And you got stuck in there because he (he pointed at Dark) got curious?!"

"We didn't know you idiot humans were trying to make a new soul in a piece of glass," said Krad sourly.

"Yeah, all those earthquakes? That was caused by our full power trying to get out and reconnect with us. We usually have to ask permission first," said Dark.

Satoshi looked like he was having a migraine just thinking about the clean up from that mess.

"So what, you two are renegade angels sent down to make our lives hell?"

"Renegade? We're not some stinkin' Fallen. We left. Dad didn't exactly ban us from making our own damn minds, and there was no way we were going to get caught up in Mikey and Luci's bitch fest about who He loved best," said Dark with a grimace.

"Your clan just had the bad luck of attracting his (he nodded at Dark) attention. Had we known what they were trying to do we would have avoided the area, especially since some moron thought using Enochian runes was a bright idea," said Krad.

"So what are your real names?"

"Betzalel," said Dark.

"Arael," said Krad.

Satoshi snorted.

"You're named after the Little Mermaid?" he said amused.

"A-R-A-E-L, not Ariel! That brat probably hates that story more than I do!" said Krad scowling.

"Satoshi-chan, his name is the 'Light of God', not Lion," said Dark cracking up.

"And yours?"

"Shadow of God. There's a reason why we're considered twins back home," said Dark amused.

"What about him?"

"Oh no, leave my real name out of it! The last thing I want is for the Host to find out where I'm hiding! They never cared that much about where you went, but they'll be harassing me left and right if they find me!" said Gabriel.

"He's Loki. Long story short, he's hiding from the other angels."

"So what do you two plan on doing now?" asked Satoshi. He was really hoping they would leave and not come back.

"I'm planning on going to visit Daisuke, tell them the truth and then go on a vacation to all points nowhere. No offense, but we've been stuck in this damn town for four hundred years. We need a break," said Dark.

"None taken, and the sooner you two get lost the happier I'll be," said Satoshi flatly.

"I like him," said the amused Gabriel.

"Of course you would," sighed Krad.

Aside from the near heart attack Dark gave the Niwa family (and getting his rabbit back) and telling them the truth about who he really was, the two were quick to make an escape out of Amazuno.

For the next ten years, they spent a long vacation far from Japan. That is, until they started hearing rumors about a pair of brothers in America. Something about the vessels of Micheal and Lucifer.

So the twins went to find Loki for information.


"You guys too? I'm about to prank the Winchesters in a week, care to join in?" asked Loki, popping a sucker into existence.

"Can we watch? I'm bored," whined Dark.

"Betzalel, shut the hell up. Your boredom got us trapped in a mirror for four hundred years!" growled Krad.

"I promise no more mirror traps," said Loki, snickering at the memory. That was still hilarious.

"Come on Arael! How often do we get to mess with hunters?" whined Dark.

"If they shoot or stab you, I swear to father I will laugh," warned Krad.

"And I'll join him!" said Loki chipper.

Dark and Krad watched from above as Loki sat in that awful gray outfit waiting for the Winchester brothers.

Dean was a riot, though Krad seemed to like Sam better. Then again Dark was a bit of a womanizer himself.

Seeing them about to stab Loki, Dark dropped from above with a grin.

"Is that any way to treat a god?" he asked with a shit-eating smirk. He could hear his twin growl from above with an added hiss asking what the thought he was doing.

"You're that guy from the bar who groped me!" said Dean in recognition.

Loki looked at his little brother with open amusement.

"You actually groped him?"

"He was asking for it! Those pick up lines were the worst I have ever heard!" said Dark in his defense.

Plus the look Dean had shot him because the act had chased all the available women away had been hilarious. Sam had apparently thought so too, because he had heard the two argue over the fact Sam had laughed at him.

Loki snickered at Dean's expression.

"Who are you?" asked Sam.

"Call me Dark. The grumpy blonde above me is my brother Krad. Loki is our older brother. Sorry Lo', I wasn't about to let them stab you for giving those guys their just desserts," said Dark.

"Meh. Not like they could actually kill me with that fish," said Loki, snapping his fingers.

Dean dropped the suddenly alive mackerel he had in his hands in place of the stake he was going to use on Loki. Sam let out a snort of amusement, despite himself.

"I thought Loki's brother was Odin," said Sam.

"He's adopted, Sasquatch. It just so happens we left when he did," said Dark dismissively.

"Dark, shut the hell up before you blow all our covers," hissed Krad.

"Oh come on! I thought the two idiots that Above and Below have been going on and on about would be smarter than this!" said Dark in his defense.

"What do you mean above and below?" asked the older gentleman. Bobby if Dark remembered right.

"You mean you don't know? Heaven and Hell have been manipulating the bloodlines for years now just to make sure these two chuckleheads got born," said Dark.

Krad slapped his brother to shut him up. Instead it turned Dark's attention on his twin.

"Dark, shut the hell up," said Krad flatly.

"If you shut your trap now I'll get you something to eat," added Loki.

Betzalel never did know when to keep his mouth shut. It was why Arael had been immediately paired with him...he could keep his more enthusiastic twin in line. The fact Gabriel had snatched them up before Micheal could 'corrupt them' (Gabriel's words, not the Hosts) was just icing on the cake.

Dark whined, but kept quiet.

"Since you idiots wouldn't know how to kill us anyway, we might as well skedaddle," said Loki cheerfully. As funny as it would have been to see the look on their faces later, it was a better idea to get Betzalel out of there before he blew all their covers.


Betzalel listened to his brothers bitch about him spilling the beans that the Winchesters were being targeted within hearing for over an hour before he left his pet rabbit With (he still had no idea why he picked up such a weird pet) in his place to go bar-hopping.

He ended up running into the Winchesters completely by accident.

Unfortunately Dean and Sam were more than happy to corner him, making escape impossible. At least they paid for the beer he ordered.

"So...who are you really?" asked Dean. He was still a bit grumpy over the fact this guy had actually groped him.

"Someone who left because he couldn't stand the bitch fest of his two older brothers. Loki was the one to suggest it, so me an' Krad ditched the others before they dragged us into it. I'm fairly sure he is still trying to find us, if only to go into one of his rants again," said Dark.

"What are you?" asked Sam.

"Angel."

"Yeah right, and unicorns shit rainbows."

"For the record, they don't," said Dark with a grin.

Sam blinked.

"Look, you guys know demons exist. You've run into them. Are angels really that hard to believe in?"

"Why haven't we run into any then? I've never even heard of an angel on earth," said Dean.

"Most of the Host are assholes. Hell, Lucifer thinks of you as bags of pus, last I checked, so how do you think he feels about his own creation?" asked Dark.

"So...heaven exists?" asked Sam hopefully.

Dark ducked when he saw Krad. He didn't want to get chewed out anymore, and dammit, he was bored!

"It exists. But it's not some place with pearly gates or fluffy clouds. It's more like a mish-mash of a bunch of ideals. Like say if your idea of heaven was a library, well then that would be where you end up," said Dark.

"Seriously?" said Dean. He noticed the blond looking for someone, likely their new 'friend'.

Before Dark could respond, Krad finally located him with a scowl.

"I take it you plan on bothering these two from now on?" he asked with an annoyed look.

"Maybe," admitted Dark.

"Then take this thing with you. I'll be with Loki when you're ready to quit bothering the hunters," said Krad flatly, dropping a dizzy With on his owner.

"What the hell did you feed him?" said Dark in annoyance.

"Our brother had some form of strawberry liquor, which this furball got into while in your form. Should have seen his face when he realized you had vanished on us," said Krad rolling his eyes.

"Not mad at me are you?"

"Brother, after being forced to spend four hundred years trapped in a single town and made to use teenagers as bodies, I can honestly say we need a break from each other before I really kill you," said Krad flatly. Half the reason why they had fought in Amazuno was because he was still pissed about that!

"What the hell is that?" asked Dean, eying the rabbit thing.

"With," said Dark, putting the furball on his shoulder.

Krad left, having delivered Dark's pet rabbit to him. If his brother wanted to play with the hunters, he was not getting involved. Loki certainly didn't care if he crashed with him for a few years...so long as he cleaned up after his older brother.

"So... Room for one more?" asked Dark hopefully.
