TITLE GOES HERE

Egypt was in a time of great prosperity. The fields were made ready by the people after the Nile flooded and they gathered the fish, abundantly lying on the ground during that time too, smoking and preserving them for future meals and feasts. Food was in a surplus there; along with the fish the fields yielded crops of grain and corn, used to make bread which was a staple in the diet of all Egyptians, both poor and rich. Meat was abundant as well, with the fish there was also pork and bird, while the richer at beef along with everything else. Trade was good; ships coming in and out of Egypt's main harbor everyday bringing rich silks and exotic spices from all of its provinces and worlds outside of what Egypt could control.

This time of plenty was led by the Pharaoh Naraku, a powerful pharaoh with long black hair and stunningly deep eyes, with his beloved wife Kagura, High Queen and the first wife he had married. They had a child, though it wasn't a son, Kana, a young girl of exceptional beauty for only being around ten years of age. Unlike her parents her hair had a silvery blue gleam to it making her hair shine whenever the sunlight touched it. Her parents believed her destined to be a priestess in the Temple of Ra, a high honor indeed for any woman.

The High Priest was a young man named Miroku, a letch among letches. His first wife Sango put up with it, although she struck him over the head numerous times with whatever object was available when Miroku was feeling up someone much too young to be his. Miroku had a few other wives, but Sango was always his favorite and so he took the beatings as a sign of jealousy.

The Pharaoh Naraku had an oracle by the name of Kaede, a weird woman of elderly age, living far past what the normal lifespan was. She caught glimpses of the future now and then, but the pharaoh depended on for wisdom at times, having the grace to acknowledge when he did need help, for she, having lived through two other pharaohs previous to him, his father and his grandfather, knew more about things than he did. Of course she helped him but always took no credit once whatever happened had happened from her advice, whether it was good or bad.

…

Of course as there were numerous gods, numerous things started to happen. Sesshomaru, the god of destruction, one of the most powerful gods by far, often watched the pharaoh battle and if the pharaoh had procured a good enough offering for him, would assist if the need arose. His demeanor gave way to believe he had no heart, especially when it came to his younger sibling, a demi-god by the name of Inuyasha. Inuyasha was a demi-god, but a powerful one at that, known often as the god of fertility. Being only a demi-god however, he didn't posses as much power as the other gods even though his power, which he had inherited from his father, was strong enough to be bothersome from time to time.

There was Shippo, the god of mischief, a fox god whose tricks either helped or hindered lives. The tiny god loved to cause things to happen and would run away if things got out of hand. All the elder gods loved him and watched over him, he was a favorite of Ra and often brought him amusement when it was most needed.

Koga, a young god by far, known as the god of the hunt was arrogant when it came to everything and anything. The pharaoh often called upon the god of the hunt near spring, when the hunting season would open and the pharaoh would go out to bring back a trophy to display for the year. Koga, favoring this particular pharaoh would guide him to some of the best hunting grounds, where it was rumored that the gods even hunted these grounds on occasion.

All the gods loved Egypt at this time, their offerings which they received with open arms were numerous and wonderful. The best Egypt had to offer. Of course, that didn't mean some of the gods didn't affect things during Egypt. Temples had been constructed not on a whim, but because the gods demanded them. Sesshomaru was greatly honored in shrines and temples. The only god that would hold a higher position than him, or so it seemed was his father, Ra himself. Of course Sesshomaru regretted being the son of Ra at times, seeing as how Ra had fathered his half brother Inuyasha.

Families of the gods had just as many feuds as families in the mortal realm.

…

Kagome was a priestess of Anubis, the jackal god of embalming. She was around 15 years of age, long flowing black hair and deep beautiful black eyes. It was odd that she hadn't married yet, most married around 12-13 years of age, and that was normal, for women at least. She didn't believe she was destined to be married so instead she gave her life working at the temple of Anubis. She worked hard doing whatever the priest of the temple asked of her, preparing meals, cleaning or even putting out offerings or sacrifices for the god. Dedicated to her tasks, she avoided men at whatever cost she could, not wanting to receive an offer of marriage nor be tempted to stray from her duties. She believed her life was for her god and her god alone.

…

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A loud cocky voice opened Inuyasha's eyes and he found himself looking into the sharp eyes of none other than Koga, god of the hunt. "It seems the little half god is taking a nap!"

"So what if I am?" came the reply and Inuyasha sat up and glared at the wolf. "I don't have anything to do right now so I was catching a little sleep."

"Is the god of fertility lonely?" Koga asked. "For being the god of…well lust and childbirth you don't get much, do you?" Inuyasha let loose a punch towards the god and Koga laughed, jumping backwards and avoiding it easily. It was an old argument; Inuyasha was used to being teased, so his one goal now was to land a punch on one of the gods who insulted him. To his dismay, the only one he had ever landed a punch on was on the god of mischief, but then again, everyone could hit him if they wanted, even if he was the only one who actually wanted to.

"What are you doing here anyways?" Inuyasha asked, standing up and tossing a lock of silver hair behind his head. He always knew he was better looking than Koga, making sure the wolf knew it on ever possible opportunity. "I'm sure a god of the hunt has better things to do than to bother me."

Koga laughed. "Of course, but unfortunately I have been sent to fetch you. Your father wishes to talk to you."

"I don't wanna talk to my old man," Inuyasha said. "What makes you think I do?"

"It's not your choice, what Ra wants is what Ra better get. I'd head over there to talk to him if I were you. Maybe he caught you slacking off!" Inuyasha didn't get time for a retort before Koga was off, his legs carrying him away at a speed that still left Inuyasha in the dust.

"One day I'm going to hit you and take you down!" Inuyasha grumbled. "What could my old man want anyways?"

…

Ra greeted his son with a warm hug, something Inuyasha didn't like or care for and so he pulled away. "My son, why do you shy so from a hug?"

"What did you want to see me about father?" he asked and Ra smiled warmly at his son. He may only be a demi-god, with his ears visible and a bad temper, but he loved his son for reminding him often of his mortal mother, who had died during childbirth. Inuyasha was his pride, only half a god but having the heart he loved in Inuyasha's mother, strength and many other qualities he had yet to discover.

Ra frowned slightly. It was like his son to get quite to the point, but whether he liked the point that was gotten to really did depend on his son. "I've decided something. This place has been too long without children." Inuyasha's mouth dropped. "And as such, I've wanted to hold a grandchild in my arms for the longest time now." Inuyasha wanted to plug his ears. "As such, you are the god of fertility, so I deem it time for you to find a wife and have a few children."

"Hold on one minute!"

"Now this wife can be mortal or not, I will let her gain immortality should she wish it. You have time to search for love, I won't force you or anything, but however I do wish that you find someone rather quickly," Ra said, ignoring his son's protests. "It shouldn't be a problem for you; you inherited my good looks after all." With that he began to laugh, his golden eyes shining with life. "You did want me to get right to the point my son, are you not pleased I did so?"

"I can't believe what you just asked of me! Why not ask Sesshomaru to do it?"
"Because he told me he wouldn't until Rin was older. Rin is a younger goddess, she has to develop her senses and powers before he'd consider getting her pregnant."

"But you're okay with me finding someone, mortal or immortal and getting them pregnant? I may be the god of fertility father but that doesn't mean I'll be able to find someone!"

"Egypt has many fine young women," Ra said. "And the pharaoh is good to his people. You could ask him for assistance in finding someone, or walk the streets and find someone yourself."

"Right, because none of the other immortal goddesses up here would even consider getting married to a demi-god!"

"I didn't mean it as an insult," Ra said gently, "I speak from experience. Your mother was someone I loved immensely. She did not take the immortal gift I offered her; she wanted to live out her life."

"And you now want me to do the same?"

Ra smiled. "I would offer the immortal gift to whoever you find to be your wife Inuyasha, don't doubt that. You must let it be her choice when the time comes."

Inuyasha grinned, baring his fangs. "What if I like men instead?"
Ra raised an eyebrow. His son was just taunting him now. "There are ways to work around that." He smiled at the horrified expression that Inuyasha had plastered onto his face. "Don't worry my son, there's always someone out there for you. It just is time for you to settle down, that's all."

"That and you want a grandson."

"I always wanted a big family," he said easily enough. "Now go. I expect you to be at least looking for a bride even if your search doesn't produce any fruit yet."

"I'll begin tomorrow father," Inuyasha growled. "No way am I getting started right away."

"That's fine son, just be careful. Love will show itself to you, but you must realize that before it's too late," he said and patted his son on the head. "I'm sure whoever you find will love all of you, even your cute ears…"
"KNOCK IT OFF!" Inuyasha exclaimed and brushed his father's hands away. "I hate this…you're mean."

"Don't whine," Ra said. "Just go."

…

Inuyasha grumbled various things all the way back to his home. He sat down on a chair and pondered what in the world he'd be able to do. Finding a wife…but who in their right mind would want to wed a demi-god? Wouldn't they rather have a full god or something?

"This isn't at all what I planned for in my life," he grumbled.

…

Kaede approached the pharaoh, slowly as she always had in the past.

"You wanted to tell me something?" Naraku asked, holding his daughter Kana in his lap. Kana rested against her father, her head on his chest as he held her close.

"I wanted to tell you that one of the gods will soon be among us," Kaede said. "This one is coming in search of a bride."

"Which god will it be?" Naraku asked. "Which god will come to sweep one of the young ladies off their feet?" He found it amusing and an honor to have the gods search for brides in his city.

"The god of fertility," Kaede said slowly. "He has been ordered by his father to do it."

"Did a vision tell you this?" Naraku asked her.

"The god of the hunt did. He found it most amusing and wanted the world to know. I believe if I remember correctly his exact words were 'if Ra has to tell his own son when it's time to settle down you know that his son has caused enough trouble.' I believe that was what he had said, something like that. My memory isn't what it used to be my pharaoh," Kaede said.

"It's good to know there will be a god among my people for however much time he will be there. It can only be a good sign when the god of fertility himself is supposed to find a bride to have children," he said and let Kana down onto the floor, and she ran off towards the gardens. "It can only mean good fertility for all of Egypt's women."

"I'm sure that is exactly what Ra had in mind my pharaoh," Kaede said. "I must take my leave now, I do apologize."
"No need, I have things I must attend to as well," Naraku said and waved her off, watching her take the slow steps she always did. Once she was out of sight Naraku leaned back against the throne. "The last time a god was among us was when Ra himself came forward searching for a bride."

…

"Okay, so I'll go down in disguise and maybe get lucky. Yep, that sounds like a plan," Inuyasha said as he changed out of his red tunic for some more down to Egypt style clothing. He threw a cloak around himself to hide his hair and complete his ensemble; he looked like a simple Egyptian now. The only thing that could give him away would be his eyes, golden eyes like his father had. He didn't want to even think of all the things the other gods would say when he returned, his cheeks had burned with some shame as he realized it was his father who finally had to order him to settle down. He was already the front runner for numerous jokes and didn't want to become the subject for many more. He'd find himself a bride, a wife…he swore that he would, although it wasn't like he had much choice. As much as he hated his father sometimes, no one disobeyed a direct order from him. As much as he wanted to, he didn't have a choice in the matter; he had to find someone to wed.

…

The streets of Egypt were always bustling with activity, no matter what occurred the streets were always full of people. Kagome liked them, always busy; just she always seemed to be. She had come to the market to pick up a few items for supper, a few favorite spices of the head priest of the temple had just arrived and she thought it would help flavor tonight's meal if she obtained a few of them. The dusty road whipped up around her as wind blew past her, nipping a little at her feet but she smiled and continued onwards. Nothing would stop her from doing her duties. She loved the life she had now.

…

Inuyasha arrived in the market place of Egypt…well, more like in a back alley near the market so no one could see him arrive. He made sure his hood covered him and headed out into the bright sun. His father was sure making this a most perfect day for his search to begin. The old man was doing it on purpose, probably sitting up there in the realm of immortals chuckling to himself on how well he was able to make the day for his son's first day of searching.

He considered where he could start looking for a wife. He could start with the brothels but he didn't want to exactly buy a wife or have someone try to give him one. For a brief moment he wondered what his father had done. Ra probably used his powers to lull a girl towards him and make her fall helplessly in love, but then again his dad didn't seem the type.

He walked down the road, brushing past various people who barely gave him a second glance, and made sure the hood was pulled over him or else people would be giving him a second glance. He watched children run by him and he smiled. He couldn't help but feel pride when he saw children; he was after all the god of fertility. The market place had many people in it today and was busy like always. He hadn't been down to Egypt in a while and it was refreshing to see that little had actually changed in the past few years.

Pausing to look at some vendor's wares he found himself entranced by everything mortals created. The food smelled wonderful, and he was glad even as a god he could eat any offerings that came his way, the homemade beer was never the same between families, a staple just as much as bread was and the shining jewelry mortals thought up always amused him.

He considered if he should bring back a few things, perhaps gifts for his future bride but then remembered he didn't even have a girl in mind. All he had been doing so far was looking at the shops. He couldn't just choose a gift before he even met the girl, what if she didn't like it? Being a god, he could get her pretty much anything she would desire but what if she didn't desire much of anything? He sighed; he was contemplating a woman he hadn't even met yet.

He walked on past a few more vendors, inhaling the wondrous aromas and pondering what he should do for supper when he felt himself bump into someone. He looked up as a young girl turned around and looked at him.

…

Kagome felt someone bump into her and startled she almost dropped her basket. She turned around and looked to see who it had been and found herself staring into two brilliant golden eyes.

A/N: Well? Is this any better than Higurashi, Inc? Is it any good at all? Review and let me know, although I'll update sooner or later I think. I love Egypt, so yes; I have a little bit of research under my belt. I read all about it, it's a favorite hobby of mine.
