The sound of war fills the air as battle rages on. A young god with alluring violet eyes and jet-black hair controls them. He causes chaos for fun. For a show he can not get anywhere else. He causes this chaos in a place known as Tartarus, where the tortured souls would do anything for a good fight. The god known as Lelouch laughs as yet another Titan falls.

"Ah, this is fun!" Lelouch sighs.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes down on the barren earth. Lelouch's eyes narrow from where he looks on at his throne. As smoke clears, he sees his family standing midst the halted battle. His father Charles, a.k.a. God, storms up to Lelouch, his eyes blazing.

"Lelouch!" he yells.

Lelouch rises up to meet the angered man. Arrogance gets the better of him as he says, "What's the problem, old man?"

Charles slaps Lelouch with no hesitation, sending the girlish young god to his knees. Lelouch looks up, a new found fear painted on his face. His hand comes up to hold the now-reddening mark on his cheek.

"Your behavior as been getting worse and worse lately!" he booms.

"Who cares?" Lelouch glares. "They're just a bunch of stupid Titans."

"Be silent!" Charles yells. "You are to be sent to the underworld!"

Lelouch's eyes widen as he stands up. "Y-You can't! Father-"

"No! I am no longer your father! I strip you of your home!"

Lelouch's regal white clothes are replaced by tattered black ones.

"I strip you of your title!"

Lelouch's big golden crown is replaced by a steel black one.

"And I, Charles zi Britannia, God of the Heaven Realm, send you to the depths of hell as the devil, Satan!"

A pointy tail and sharp, black ears sprout from Lelouch's body, his teeth sharpening into fangs. The ground opens up beneath him and he goes plunging down. Down into the endless darkness below...

In a forest south of the city known as Nevaeh, a group of friends sit around the campfire. One is a boy with brown hair, one is a girl with pink hair, and one is a boy with golden hair. They're all telling the story of one special man. The man that lives below them.

"Satan?" the boy with bright green eyes and brown hair asks.

"Yeah! Ya know, the devil!" the other boy with golden hair exclaims.

The boy with brown hair, named Suzaku, raises an eyebrow in disbelief. "The devil? Really."

"Yes! They say he was banished by God to the underworld because he was so..." the boy named Gino searches for the right word. "...demonic."

"Demonic? I think this God fella just sounds cruel," Suzaku sighs, leaning back on his fold-up chair. While Gino and him had been friends since they were children, he could never get used to Gino's randomness. What brought this up, anyway? Just a second ago they were talking about buying furniture for Suzaku's new apartment!

"Cruel? Anya, Suzaku thinks God is cruel!" Gino exclaims to the always-stoic Anya, who is still picking at her smore she made about 10 minutes ago.

"Yeah, okay," she responds indifferently.

Suzaku laughs airily. Gino laughs as well. Soon they get into another argument about pizza and which toppings are better on it. During this war of meats Gino notices something strange, of which he points out to Suzaku.

"Hey, guys," Gino murmurs after a silence springs up between them.

"Yeah?" Suzaku asks, somewhat creeped out by Gino's sudden change in personality.

"Ya hear that?" Gino asks, confusion in his voice.

"What?" Anya says indifferently.

"I don't hear anything," Suzaku states. He doesn't hear anything. Wait a second... "All the animals..." Suzaku's eyes widen. "They've stopped making noises!"

The group of friends look up and around. The woods have developed a new eeriness to them. Even the stars have gone, absolutely disappeared. Not one trace of life. Everything had gone into a hush.

Suddenly, the fire goes out with a woosh. Even Anya's a little scared at this point. Suzaku's highly trained senses that came from being in the military pick up the sound of growling. All of them notice it and stand on their feet. Seven dark wolves appear from the shadows and begin to creep forward, their lip curled back in snarls. Gino and Anya exchange looks and nod, then turn to Suzaku.

"Suzaku, it's time to go," Gino says urgently.

"Yeah," Suzaku nods. "I know."

Anya takes the lead while Gino follows behind. Just as Suzaku is about to take off running, something moves in the corner of his eye. He stops abruptly and turns his head. Standing behind the wolves in the darkness of the forest is a boy about Suzaku's age. He's dressed in black with a tattered cape draped over his shoulders. Whether it's the look of loneliness in his eyes or the pure beauty of his features, Suzaku does not know. But he turns around completely. The other boy seems surprised by this sudden change, but his expression switches back to a hard one.

"Hey," Suzaku calls out. "I can see you."

The other boy raises an eyebrow, then steps out into the open. The wolves bow down then dissipate. Suzaku's taken aback by this, and shifts backwards a little. The other boy's eyes narrow.

"Who are you?" he demands.

"Suzaku Kururugi," Suzaku answers. "Who're you?"

The other boy doesn't seem to know what to do. "Who am I?" he asks. "Uh, Satan, I guess."

Suzaku's eyes widen. "Satan? B-But that's the devil!"

The boy's expression changes into a sad one. "Yeah. That's me."

Suzaku immediately feels bad for him. Thinking back to his conversation with Gino earlier, he remembers that Gino said Satan was originally a god, so he must have had a name from before.

"What's your real name?" Suzaku asks boldly.

Now it's the other boy's turn to be surprised. "M-My real name?!" he sputters. "It used to be Lelouch."

"Well, Lelouch," Suzaku smiles, walking up to him. He realizes that Lelouch is only slightly taller than him now that they're closer. "How about we make a deal?"

Lelouch's eyes fill with interest. "What kind of deal?"

"It's known to all that if a human makes a deal with another being, that god or demon could live in the human realm," Suzaku states proudly.

"Be that as it may, are you sure you're up for it? You'd be dancing with the devil. Literally."

Suzaku nods. "Sure. It's sad to see such loneliness on one's face, even if that person is Satan. Especially if that face is as beautiful as yours."

Lelouch blushes slightly and looks away. "Y-Yeah, whatever," he stutters and holds out a hand. "The contract will be complete once we shake."

Suzaku smiles widely and takes Lelouch's delicate, pale hand into his own rough, tan one, and shakes it. A wind swirls around them and the light returns to the forest, along with all the animals that had seemed lost. Suzaku's eyes widen when he feels a sudden light weight on his chest. Lelouch had fallen over.

"S-Sorry," he stutters again, trying to pull away, but tripping again. "I'm not used to gravity."

Suzaku laughs and picks him up bridal-style, earning a small squeal from Lelouch. "I shall carry you to my place, Your Highness!" Suzaku exclaims and takes off in the direction of his house.

"No!" Lelouch yells angrily. "Let me go, you idiot!" He punches weakly at Suzaku's chest.

Suzaku laughs again. "Never! Ahahahahaha!"

UGH! End of chapter one! Yay... *dies*
