Chapter 1: The Beginning

(A/N: So! I'm here again! This time with a prequel since some people wanted it. So this is gonna turn into shit... Yet that's also what I thought about The One of Secrets and look how that ended up! So. As I always say! On to the crap!)

He sat in a large room filled with nothing but a large table and fourteen chairs. The reason he was there? He and everyone else in the family were ordered to arrive immediately. The order was sent out a half hour ago and he was still the only one there. Nobody had shown up for even a second! Nobody had opened the door or even bumped into it! He would know. He was watching it the entire time.

"Dante?" a voice said from behind him.

Dante turned around allowing the owner of the voice to see his amber eyes instead of his silver hair. "Hey Joyd. Where is everyone?"

"Oh you're talking about the order right?" Joyd asked getting a nod in response "The Earl usually takes his sweet time. During an urgent matter he usually takes about thirty minutes to show up. So everyone just waits."

"Why did nobody tell me?" Dante questioned.

"I thought someone would have told you. Sorry if I had known you were still in the dark then I would have told you earlier." Joyd apologized to the new born Noah.

"It's alright. Thank you. I'm glad I figured it out now instead of later."

"No problem. So how do you like life on the Ark? Today makes it a week since your arrival, correct?" Joyd asked.

"Yeah. But I have one question." Dante stated.

"And that would be?"

"Ark's are supposed to be boats right? How does this thing resemble an ark?" Dante asked with nothing short of confusion.

Joyd chuckled. "We all asked that at one point. After all these years we have yet to get a true answer."

"Of coarse..." Dante sighed right before the door flung open.

"Joyd! Dante!" a small and hyper girl yelled.

"Hello Road. Can we help you?" Joyd asked.

"I'm bored! Play with me!" Road shouted.

"Your turn." Joyd whispered to Dante.

"What!? It was my turn for the past three days!" Dante whispered back.

"And it was my turn for the past three years!" Joyd argued.

"How about we settle this like men? With a fight." Dante said as he stood out of his chair for the first time in the past thirty minutes.

"Agreed." Joyd said getting into a fighting stance. "I've wanted to see your abilities for the past week. I never considered I would learn them from a fight between you and I."

"Stop talking and fight!" Road yelled anxiously.

As soon as both Noah were ready to fight the rest of the family walked into the room.

"Try not to fight near me. It would not be of your best health if you might touch one of my nails." Rasutoru said as she walked past the boys and sat down in her usual spot.

"I'm guessing no fight?" Road asked.

"No fight." Joyd and Dante said at the same time before laughing and sitting in their seats, which were right next to each other.

"Why do you two always laugh at nothing?" Wisely asked as he walked in.

"Don't know." Joyd and Dante said in unison before laughing more.

"You two are more in alike than Bondomu are." Raasura stated.

"Hey!" Bondomu shouted when they walked in. "We are the exact same! No one is closer than us!"

"Then why do you two always get in a fight?" Dezaiasu asked as he walked in behind them, causing Dante and Joyd to laugh again.

"Admit it Bondomu! You two almost never agree on anything!" Toraido said from his chair next to Joyd.

"Ah! When did you get in here Toraido!?" Joyd shouted, startling Dante.

"I've been here for a few moments. No amount more." Toraido commented.

"Okay..." Joyd said, turning back to Dante soon mouthing 'Did you notice him?'

'No!' Dante mouthed in return causing everyone, who saw the two, to laugh. Everyone was laughing to hard to realize Maitora, Maashiima, and Fiidora to enter the room.

"Ahem." A voice said from the door way making everyone calm down and see who it was.

"Good evening my children~" A thin man dressed in a tuxedo said.

"Good evening Earl." The Noah said in unison.

"If you don't mind my asking, what have you called us all for Earl?" Dante asked.

"Please, Dante, you don't have to be so formal with me. I'm just another part of your family." The Earl said with a smile. "And to answer your question, We have a large dilemma. The humans have found a substance that they call 'Innocence'. They believe it can harm us and are planning an attack."

"Why are you so worried about this Earl?" Rasutoru asked as she put down her nail file.

"I'm not worried. I'm more curious than anything. I would like to see what they do with this substance they believe to be so pure." Earl explained.

"You mentioned them planning to attack us, correct? Haven't we been helping them for the past hundred years?" Dante asked.

"I don't know Dante. But I want all of you to be ready to fight if they do attack and the substance proves to be harmful. Dismissed." The Earl said before leaving the room.

(A/N: And that's the first chapter! What did you think? Hope it was at least decent. Kind of a different start but I plan on this story being longer than The One of Secrets with a lot more fighting, meeting all fifteen of Dante's brothers, and more blood~ I know we all love that~
