As Charlie ran upstairs to pack her clothes for the 'trip to heaven' as she called it, one of Angel Dust's old friend, fittingly called Cherri Bomb, blew through the walls.
"What up, hoes!" she yelled through the smoke.
"Holy Shit! Cherri Bomb? Long time no see, baby!" Angel greeted her energetic friend.
"Who's gonna fix the wall?" Sukuna asked calmly, looking at the two of them.
"Uhm...uh, we'll fix it later!" Angel said nervously.
"Angie you bitch! You've been texting me depressing shit all day. Figured we could tear shit up like old times." Cherri approached Angel, ignoring everyone else in the room.
"I'd love to, Cherri, but I'm too tired. I need to pass out." Angel said, tired and about to flop onto a couch.
"Oho, you can sleep when you're dead fuckhead! What you need is a recharge! A reinvigoration! A re-" Cherri offered with enthusiasm, when Charlie arrived, joining the conversation.
"A responsible night on the town!" she said with a smile. "Such a great idea! Everyone here has been working hard lately, they all deserve a little break." she said cheerily, while handing Cherri a bunch of cash to convince her.
As they were about to leave to who knows where, Sukuna called out.
"Husker. A word." Husker immidiately went over, "'Sup, boss?" he asked.
"With Angel's and Cherri's reputation and habits, I wanna make sure you can get them out of whatever shit they climb in. Here, hold out your hand." with a quick swipe of his hand, a single drop of blood left his finger, floating between the two of them, before landing on Husker's palm, seeping into it.
"The fuck?" Husker asked, confused.
"If you need something cut, just look at it, and call it out. My blood will do the rest. Also, if any insects bother you, feel free to use my name." Sukuna offered, uncharacteristically generous.
"Sure boss. Gotcha." Husker said, and then left to go after the others.
"With that taken care of, a couple things before we enter Heave. Little Miss." Sukuna turned to Charlie, seriousness in his voice.
"Oh?" Charlie was confused.
"Just as last time, don't call me by my name while we're up there." Sukuna started, his eyes boring into Charlie's. "Also, if..for any reason whatsoever, a fight breaks out, do not stray from my side." he said, as Charlie nodded, memorizing every word he spoke. "And one last thing." Sukuna smirked, and placed a hand on the Princess's shoulder, "Give 'em hell!" his grin widened, and Charlie adopted a wide evilish smile as well. Then the Portal opened, and both of them entered.
As Charlie and her guard stepped out of the portal, the difference between Hell and Heaven were immidiate. While Hell was dark, dirty, and in a state of constant chaos, Heaven was bright, clean, and calm.
"Welcome to Heaven! May I have your names?" a voice called out to them from nearby. Charlie noticed the podium next to the large golden gates, and the person standing on top of it, smiling at them.
"Hi! Hello! Yes, my name is Charlie...Morningstar." Charlie said smiling.
"Hmm...let's see. Cha..Cha..Chad...Charlie Mooo.." his voice trailed off. "I'm sorry, I'm not seeing your name here." he said apologetically,
"Saint Peter!" a silky voice echoed in the area, as two angels descended. They looked quite bird like and had many eyes, even on their wings. Some of the eyes on their faces reminded Charlie of Sukuna's extra eyes as he looked back at him.
"Welcome, Daugher of the Morningstar. I'm Sera, the High Seraphim of Heaven. There is no need to be afraid, you can leave your guard at the gates." she said in a kind voice, before transforming into a simpler form, with only two eyes and feathery wings.
"I'm only here to ensure the Princess's safety. Only those who wish her harm need fear anything of me." Sukuna said calmly looking at the taller angel.
"Very well, altough none here would wish any harm upon her, I'm sure." Sera said, making Sukuna scoff.
While the two talked, the other angel approached Charlie.
"Hi! I'm Emily, the other Seraphim. You can call me Em, Emmy, E, or whatever! Welcome to Heaven!" she said with a bright, wide and innocent smile. Sukuna looked at her a bit weirded out, but refrained from saying anything as they entered through the gates.
"I'm so excited about showing non-residents around, I'm sure once we're done wit the tour, you'll want to stay forever!" Emily said excited, but Charlie looked a little offended.
"Of course you would, but this is just a brief visit. I'm sorry you won't be able to stay." Sera said, a strange tone of concern in her voice.
As they got dragged around, Adam and Lute were walking and talking in low voices.
"How the fuck did you find nothing on that guy?!" Adam said angrily to his subordinate. "He seemed like a pretty big deal to me, someone has to know him." he thought.
"Oh yeah, because looking for someone from Hell is always easy, like..." Lute paused, noticing the two Seraphim, and the two newcomers they were showing around. "There they are!" she said.
"Haha! Yeah that would be nice." Adam laughed, thinking Lute was joking.
"No SIR! They are right there!" Lute pointed, and finally Adam noticed them too.
"How the fuck are they here? And why are the Seraphim of all angels are showing them around?! That's it, I'm handling this myself!" Adam raged as he made his way towards the two demons.
"No! Wait! Boss!" Lute tried to stop him, but wasn't fast enough.
"Hey Hell-Spawns! Fancy seeing you here!" Adam said snarkily as he stood next to Sera.
"Oh, it's you." Charlie was less than enthusiastic to meet Adam again.
"Yeah, it's me, I'm here. You know, 'cause I'm a fucking ANGEL! How the fuck are you two losers here?" he demanded.
"They are our guests. We're showing them all of Heaven!" Emily replied with a smile, completely missing Adam's rage.
"How can they be your guests? Do you even know who they are?" he asked impatiently.
"Well her name is Charlie, she's Lucifer's daughter. The other is...I'm sorry I didn't catch your name.." Sera said, realizing she let someone into Heaven without knowing their name.
"My name is none of your concern. For now." Sukuna said calmly as he looked at Adam, "And you should be careful who you offend. Life is a fickle thing, Pigeon." he threatened, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"OH! Look at this big bad demon! First minute into Heaven, already threatening residents." Adam scoffed.
"Oh? I wonder, what did you do last time you were in Hell?" Sukuna asked back, making Sera sweat and extremely confusing Emily.
'Adam has been to Hell? When? How? I would really like to see what it's like...' she thought.
"That's ENOUGH!" Sera yelled, silencing Adam, and knocking Emily out of her train of thought. "They are guests here. There will be no threatening." she took a deep breath as she calmed herself. "Now. Charlie dear, can I speak to your friend here, privately, while you continue the tour with Emily?" she turned to the princess, not even asking Sukuna if he wanted to speak to her.
"Umm..sure." Charlie said unsure."Just Su...Ryo. Please take this seriously." she pleaded with her guard, who just nodded in return, and then Sera teleported both of them.
"I never thought I'd see you again after all this time. Sukuna." Sera turned to Sukuna with venom in her voice, who was looking outside through a window.
"You climbed quite high since I let you go." he smirked.
"It wasn't easy. Regardless. Why are you here? What do you want?" she asked concerned. She knew if he wanted something, she wouldn't be able to stop him.
"I'm just here to protect the Little Miss. At least, until you provoke me." he grinned as he talked. "Speaking of...Is SHE here?" he asked.
"Yes, although I never met her personally. I heard she has been watching the happenings in Hell. I can take you to her." Sera offered.
"Sure." Sukuna agreed, and they teleported again.
