[ WP ] Demons and Angels when reaching puberty , are assigned a human to torment/protect till their death . This is your first human , however you are hearing rumors from the veterans that this human is on his sixth demon/angel and no one knows what happened to the last five .

Fresh from Angel school and eager for your first assignment you did n't expect THIS! Unusual cases like this are assigned to the best of the best, the creme dela creme, the elite graduates of Angel School like that pompous stuck-up prat Zachariah. You barely managed to graduate and only because the School had to reach their quota. You were looking forward to being assigned to some little brat who you'd shortly leave to his/her own devices to enjoy an eternity of leisure somewhere else. Hey, that's what Free Will is for right? I'm not going to burden my charge with the dubious wisdom of a near drop-out angel, better for the kid to figure things out on his own, you know? 
 
 `` Kid's gon na be a handful, do n't you think Islan?'' Kane, your counterpart from the Demon School, puffing a cig, and looking at the same mundane 2-storey house where your charge is located. You've known Kane for sometime, in fact you conspired with the little devil so that you'd both be partners IF you both ever graduate. Guardians and Corrupters have a very antagonistic relationship. If you were ever going to ditch the job and wallow in eternal self-indulgement you definitely did n't want the typical partner to crimp your style! A chance meeting with Kane over beer then the expected drunken heart to heart disclosed both your dilemnas and then an inkling of a plan. A little fiddling with the Metatron database and you both get what you want! If you're Heaven's charity case, He's Hell's reject. Too soft, too loyal, too diligent for a demon. Me, the lazy layabout angel, and kane the diligent loyal demon softy. We all have our crosses to bear I guess. 
 
 `` I heard kid's done something to 5 sets of partners, the Ain Soph Aur ca n't find them which should be impossible.'' You've both been standing outside the house for hours waiting for your charge. Passers-by unconciously stepping around you both unseen. People do n't see spiritual beings unless they're near death, naturally perceptive, or smoking some serious s % $ # t. `` I heard Zachariah was one of them'' continues Kane.'' THAT jolts you out of your typical stupor. `` What?!? Perfect Zachariah?'' before laughing out loud. `` Maybe I should do something nice for the kid before we bail.'' Hey, like I said, I'm not that great an Angel. 
 
 `` Excuse me, sir'' Our charge, A small boy with wide puppy dog eyes and an innocent smile approaches us from behind startling me. He makes a beeline for Kane while also glancing shyly at me. The kid's too young to smoke a blunt, and does n't look to be dying in the next 5 minutes which means our charge has the sight. Crap. 
 
 Can I talk to you for a minute sir, asks the boy. `` You should n't be talking to strangers Kid, Kane replies. I sigh, he's Hell's reject alright. It wo n't take more than a minute says the earnest little boy. So the boy walks Kane several meters away, out of hearing. As they talk Kane's face change from an indulgent little smirk to confusion, to anger then doubt then finally despair before he's wiped from existence in a cloud of smoke to my open-mouthed shock. 
 
 I should've run but I was still rooted to the same spot when the kid reached me. With a disappointed look and a morose mutter he says `` That always happens to me, I do n't understand it, that's my 11th person this week!'' `` What... what do n't you understand kid'', I croak. Well, I only wanted to talk about Atheism, it's our school assignment he then stops, visibly shakes it off then uses those puppy dog eyes that was the downfall of Kane the former soul corrupter at me. `` I'd like to talk to you about Atheism and Agnosticism'' says the cute kid with an engaging smile.
