Pairings:

- ItaNaru

- One-sided SasuNaru

- One-sided SasuSaku

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Kishi would be out of a job and Akatsuki would rule the world. Hahaha, but no.

Warning: Yaoi pairings will be introduced later. Let's stick with the little things first. I also do not entirely trust some resources from Wikipedia so I will be using some of the names that Wiki has given and some of the ranks from the Naruto series to describe an angel and a demon's status.

-Chapter 1 - Welcome-

Uzumaki Naruto glared at the boy in front him. He was weak and insignificant, but he was someone that was supposedly respected. He was someone with status. Disregarding his young age, the boy was practically high class. He was really itching to smack him upside the head, but this was the grandson of the Fire Shadow everyone talked about. He didn't want to get on the old man's bad side again.

"Wanna tell me why you're in my way, kid?"

The boy gave him a small grin. His teeth were not as sharp as Naruto's, but they were still dangerous. After all, he was praised for his poisonous venom. Poisonous weak venom.

Well, it was pretty good for his age. Usually, twelve year olds were snobbish brats that walked around trying to act like they had some sense. They were rude and obnoxious, and this little boy happened to be in that very same category as those maggots. He was just lucky he had the Higher Class to rely on. Without them, he'd probably end up like the rest of those desperate devils.

"You threatened to take the title of Fire Shadow away from me! You will be punished!" He nodded to himself, as if he was trying to make his imaginary friends agree with him. "Now you must die!"

"I didn't threaten you, kid. I stated the obvious. What? I can't have a say in things?" Naruto arched a brow. Since when did this child have authority over him?

"N-no! I am to take the title of Fire Shadow someday! You're going to be kissing my feet, Slave!"

"Is that so? Do I look like a wingless soul to you?" What made the question an effortless attack was the irony behind it. The boy scowled and turned around. He raised his head and snorted.

"Just because I didn't grow my wings yet, doesn't mean I'm no better than you!"

"For the record, you're about two years late on your growth spurt. And lay off with the superior crap. It got old after the couple thousand times you've said it." Naruto walked around the boy and strolled his way through the narrow corridors.

"W-wait! Fight me now!" He flashed his teeth, but Naruto had turned his back on him. Thus, he was brutally ignored.

"I don't have time for your stupid games, Konohamaru." He turned around to match the boy's threat with his eyes. They were the wisest eyes he had ever seen. Those blue orbs held so much history behind them. Of course, Konohamaru didn't come to that conclusion, but he did come to the conclusion of fear. He couldn't help but feel intimidated. Even if he was about five classes higher than he was, he felt so low… Lower than a Slave. Satan, help him now.

He wanted to apologize to the man that stood up to his childishness… Perhaps even befriend him, but his pride got in the way. His ignorant, childish pride. Dammit.

So, without a say in things, Konohamaru watched the Uzumaki walk off.

- - -

Haruno Sakura refused to bite her perfectly manicured nails, but the thought was a bit tempting. Within two hours, she had lost over a million in a fancy casino she happened to stroll by. God must have really blessed her with bad luck.

"This sucks…" She reached in her jean pocket and pulled out her cell phone. The person she wanted to call was already on speed dial, so with a press of her button, the ringing began and she stood there in silent prayer. Hopefully God didn't hate her that much.

"Hello?"

Yes!

"Ino! Oh sweet Jesus, I lost a few bucks, could you lend me some cash? I'm a bit desperate here and-"

"Get laid, Sakura. The last time I let you borrow some money, you spent it all on some faggot game."

"It was a bet! And they lost anyway… Ugh, that's not the point! I really need the cash! I went from grand to nada. C'mon Ino! Please?"

There was a pause over the line. Sakura assumed her friend was thinking it over. It didn't take long for her to come to an answer though.

"No."

The screen flashed white and made Sakura blink a few times to adjust to the flashing light. Ino just hung up on her. Wow. How lovely.

It was almost midnight, but she didn't feel the least bit tired. She needed money. Now.

Again, she scanned her list of phone numbers and smiled as her eyes glanced at the last line. With one click, the phone did its work and rang.

After the fourth ring, she began to lose hope. No one was picking up! This sucked big time-

"Uchiha residence, how may I help you-"

"I need to talk to Sasuke-kun. Right. Now." She made sure her voice was demanding.

"…I'm sorry, but Mr. Uchiha is away right now-"

"Can you give me his cell?"

"May I know who is calling?"

"A desperate friend in need of some goddamn money. Hurry the hell up!" She tapped her foot on the concrete floor once again. "Scratch off the desperate."

"I'll leave a message."

"I wanted his number. Leaving him a message is useless up to this point." She gritted her teeth. Whoever this person was, he seemed rather dull and retarded. If she didn't give her boss the grand, she was going to be done for. God, she was such an idiot. How could she gamble away the rest of her pocket cash? By pocket cash, she meant every last cent. The money used to pay rents and bills seriously didn't count.

"My apologies, Ma'am, but I do not have his number."

She slapped her phone shut and ran her hand down her face. Fuck it.

Her cell was just simply bad luck.

She felt her phone vibrate in her hands and ring the sound of clattering bells. The caller ID didn't look very friendly.

Bad luck indeed.

"H-hello?" She sucked in a sharp breath.

"Well, well, well… If it isn't Haruno-chan. You have my money yet, girl?"

"Um. Yes! Well, I did, but… Listen- If you could just give me a little more time, I'll be happy to-"

"So you don't have the money?" His voice was deep and husky. If it wasn't for the evident fear in her urgent response that blinded any thoughts of lust, she could have found his voice a little attractive.

"N-no. I'm sorry, I…"

"Too late, girl. I've given you an extra week. It's time you learned a thing or two about dirty business."

She almost jumped when a hand found its way up her shoulder and around her neck. She dropped her cell phone when a sharp point pierced her skin. Right in the chest. How fucking wonderful.

She could feel the sticky substance stain her white top. It was almost too sudden. They didn't even give her enough time to write a death wish.

Ino… that bitch. Sakura was going to haunt her after this! And Sasuke? Well, he'll wish to never sleep with another woman ever again.

And with that thought, she allowed her karma and bad luck to do it's magic.

- - -

Uchiha Sasuke smirked as the girl in his arms began to take off her skirt. Oh, he was getting it tonight.

The expensive dinner was worth every penny. Alright… Maybe the half-cooked meat wasn't much of a dinner for him, but it was for her. He could have sworn he saw some blood on that piece of meat. What sort of expensive restaurant would serve such tainted food? He was more than willing to give his dish to her. And she devoured it within seconds.

But right now, she was on top of him and she was giving him the greatest show of his life. For a rich and civilized woman, she really knew how to get down and dirty. She probably lied about her background… But who cares? He just wanted to satisfy his hormones.

By the time he was finished rambling about in his mind, she was already down to her undergarments. So with a victorious grin, he too had loosened his tie and took off his shirt.

Her laughter filled the air with lively encouragement. The last thing he wanted was a mate that didn't know how to feel enthusiastic at the right time.

Her bra and underwear went flying across the room before he had another chance to think.

"Oh my… Demanding aren't you?"

"Don't tempt me, Ai." His pants and boxers joined her undergarments on the floor.

She had no time to respond because he was already inside her before she could even mouth a word.

He wasn't just a man of size. In fact, he could do pretty well in bed for an arrogant jackass.

She moaned his name as he quickened his pace. She didn't need to request anything from him. He gave her everything. He was fast, had the courage to go deep without a second thought, and didn't wear a condom.

Of course, he was a rich bastard. Abortions were easy to take care of. In his whole life, he managed to destroy three unborn children. He was far from being a murderer. He was doing it all for the fun. He didn't care what others thought about him, he was just having a good time with his boring life. Sasuke seriously had some serious issues.

Ai had managed to push him back on the king-sized bed. His room was pretty decent. It had some nice touches to it. At least he had some morals. Changing the covers every time he did a girl said something.

Tch. As if.

It was about time before he reached his peak. Oh God, never before had he felt so hard in his life. This woman really knew how to please him.

And with that, they came.

He was too exhausted to catch her smirk. She grabbed him by his neck and made him face her. He was about to question what she was doing, but the burning in his chest made him question what was happening.

Her arm went straight through his chest and pierced his heart. She could feel the blood ooze from the wound and her arm.

"I must say… Human food has its perks. Lovely night. Thank you very much." Ai could hear him gasping for air. Like that could have done him any good.

"See you in Hell, Uchiha."

She grinned as she used her free hand to push his chest back and free her arm that was now covered in his blood.

Everything happened so fast.

Sasuke fought to sit up. Even with the hole in his chest, he was willing to find that woman and kill her. To his dismay, she was out the door before he could utter another word. And just to add on to his dismay, unconsciousness engulfed him like the bitch it was.

Perhaps that dinner wasn't worth his shiny pennies after all.

- - -

"I may be Lower Class, but that doesn't mean jack shit. This job is just lame." Naruto glared at the man before him. He was starting to really piss him off. Just because Naruto was ranked Genin didn't mean he fought and acted like one. A good majority of Genin didn't even have their wings yet.

"Look, Ai was being a troublemaker again. She left her post so I need you to do this job for me." He scratched his head and sighed.

"Are you passing your job to me or something? Because this is just ridiculous. I'm not a guide. I don't do the whole tour thing for newbies." Naruto huffed. In his whole life, he had been assigned to C-Ranked missions. Getting a D-Ranked assignment just sent a hard blow on his ego.

"You know we're in a war. If we're lucky, we might snag some smartass prodigy. I need help with the battlefield. Trust me Naruto, I may be smart, but the work is just overflowing. This mission is seriously important." He tried to speak as slowly and meaningful as possible.

Naruto wasn't a retard. He knew what the man tried to imply. Lucky for him, the Uzumaki needed to get some air. The palace started to get pretty boring.

"Give the General my regards, Nara. I'll be off." Naruto made a half-assed effort to wave and walked off.

"Wrong way."

He stopped shortly, turned around, and walked away with haste.

Shikamaru palmed his face, but nonetheless he yelled across the hall to signal that he would give General Asuma the blond's regards.

Naruto exited the palace and breathed in the smell of molten lava. The dry land was crisp and colored a dark mahogany.

Hell didn't compare to the palace or Heaven. It was disgraceful and held much despair.

The Uzumaki watched the Slaves walk here and there. Apparently, their minor chores needed to be done. His little mission could actually resemble a Slave's work. They did their master's bidding while he, Uzumaki Naruto, did the General's bidding.

Everyone was under the control of the Emperor so almost everyone -- Higher Class, Middle Class, Lower Class -- they were controlled by him. The Shadows of Hell did not match his power. No matter how experienced they were in countless old wars, they had to be pushed down to Second Ranked status. Everyone respected the Shadows, but only to a minimum. Everyone had to respect the Emperor more.

Because of that, everyone in Hell had something in common. The Emperor.

No matter how disgruntling it was, the Emperor tied them all together. No matter how evil or sick he was, he played the cards. No matter how much Hell sucked, it was a place for retribution.

He felt his wings materialize behind him and bring him to his destination. The pathway that lead to Earth and brought bastards to Hell.

The silver-haired man that was in charge of the gates and ran the whole damn place, had been none other than Hatake Kakashi.

He watched Naruto descend and touch the crisp floor of the higher watch system. His crimson wings faded as he made his way to his superior.

"I haven't seen you in a while Kakashi-sensei. How are you?"

"Cut the small talk. Why are you here?" His only visible eye was not friendly at all. Naruto assumed he just had a bad day.

"Why else? To do Nara's dirty work and bring him some smart alecks." If Kakashi wanted to get to the point, he'll get to the point. And if Naruto pissed him off, he'll be sent back to the palace with a broken wing and bruises all over his body. All in all, it was best to comply to his wishes.

"Since we were forced to sign the treaty after our loss in the Holy War, we're down to a small amount of devilish brats these days." Kakashi made a sound in his throat as he led Naruto into the dark corridors of the water area. "Just our luck."

"Which treaty do you mean?"

Kakashi knew too well that Naruto had lived for a very long time. In fact, if he did the math, Kakashi was actually a few decades older than Naruto was. Not a big difference. "The Rebound Treaty."

Naruto nodded his head as he frowned. The Rebound Treaty was the treaty the Shadows of Hell were forced to sign. It signaled a stalemate between Heaven and Hell. Knowing the people of Heaven, they were arrogant pricks. And knowing the people of Hell, they were also arrogant pricks. The Higher Monarchy of the war knew they had lost when Heaven had asked them to sign the treaty. The angels planned everything all along. They fought with such brilliance, even the Generals couldn't figure out a turning point. Apparently, a decent strategy was not what they had. Hell was outnumbered and they lost big time. If only they had Shikamaru back then...

The Rebound Treaty was created to signify a stalemate if Heaven could take the nonbelievers whether or not they believed in divine justice or not. As long as they had the will to be pure, they would go to Heaven. Sadly, Hell had to agree to their terms. Nowadays, they didn't get much from Earth.

"This war has gone on for over a century…" Naruto was lucky he had not been signed to the service just yet. A good majority of Slaves were trained for the war. Since Hell was beginning to grow desperate, the Middle Class were being drafted for the war also.

Kakashi made no effort to agree. What was the point? This war they were in was pointless. Something so worthless will end with equal worthlessness.

"We're here."

The Uzumaki stared at the new recruits. There were a good thousand, but it still wasn't enough. They were a couple hundred short.

"Aren't you suppose to give them a long speech to point out Hell isn't a place to be messing around in?" Naruto raised a brow at his former teacher as he turned around.

"They'll learn the hard way. Maggots like these live for the battlefield." Kakashi backtracked and turned the corner with a lazy wave of his hand.

Naruto would have rolled his eyes if it hadn't been for the thousand that stood before him. It was a large area. There were no stairs down to Hell. A person just appeared. As confused as they were, the only thing they could think of was retribution for their sins.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Get your asses into gear." Naruto's eyes were on every one of the people that were sent so far. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'll be your tour guide today. Welcome to Hell, brats."

- - -

Sakura thought, when people died, they would see a white light of some sort. Apparently, she was a bit wrong. She woke up to exotic colors and a person before her.

"Am I dead…?"

She blinked a couple of times and slapped herself on the cheek to make sure she wasn't dreaming. And she wasn't.

So with a defeated expression and stressful sigh, she glanced at the person that was in front of her. Oddly enough, she was a female. She was basked in a heavenly glow that brought warmth and kindness. Not only her face, but her clothes seem to radiate with some sort of strange light. Her eyes were the color of soft and stormy clouds. She was a magnificent being.

"H-hey there…"

The woman knelt down and eyed Sakura carefully as she extended her hand.

She hesitated for a moment, but took her hand. "Um, may I ask who you are?"

Sakura felt insignificant when she stood next to this extraordinary person. Her eyes and illumining body brought her perfectly manicured nails and pink hair to shame.

"You are coming with me." Sakura couldn't help but feel a bit envious. Her voice was soft and angelic. It was softer than any pillow and smoother than any rich silk. "Our destination is Heaven."

She could have assumed her voice was perfect, but perfection was impossible to achieve. As she replayed what the heavenly being had said, she froze.

"W-wait… Heaven? Y-you got the wrong person! God should hate me! I swear, I think the Bible seriously fails, I… I'm not good at all!"

The glowing woman before her seemed unaffected by her words.

"Perhaps you are the wrong person." This managed to make Sakura wince. "But because Heaven has announced a treaty with Hell, we have recruited many more people. You have the will to believe. You can believe. And so, Heaven is the road you will walk. Not Hell."

Sakura was quiet. No one had ever said anything like that to her before. It made her feel important and more confident. "So, I am dead?"

Even if she said those words, she couldn't remember how she died or where she came from. The being before her was silent as she led the way to whatever magnificent gate that would appear when one goes to Heaven.

Strangely enough, the only thing Sakura remembered was her name. Other than that, everything was a swirl of blanks. Maybe it was better for her not to remember. She had said she was a bad person had she not? Perhaps she was a bad person when she was alive. The longer she walked with the woman next to her, the more she forgot. It was as if she was walking away from her past and into a new light of opportunities.

They were both silent now. The colorful light around them had vanished. Her surroundings faded and she felt like she was walking in a dark abyss. The only thing that seemed to be shining was the woman that led the way to this... Heaven.

It didn't take long for her to forget who she was. The only thing that stayed in her memories was her name. Haruno Sakura.

She could see a white light in the distance. If she hadn't been in such a drug-like state, she would have remembered thinking about a white light.

When the area cleared and everything was shining again, she too felt like she was in a touch of light.

"So this is Heaven…"

It was a vast place. There was no gate to Heaven or Messiah to guide a lost sheep. No. This was a place of divine justice.

Sakura realized she was basked in a strange light that was the color of coral. This light was much more different from the white light that surrounded the woman with stormy eyes.

"You are an angel, aren't you?" She turned to the person next to her and realized she was staring back with equal serenity.

"And you are now one also."

- - -

Sasuke screwed his eyes shut as he tried to remember what it was that made him deserve to go to Hell.

The jackass title didn't count.

Since he couldn't remember a thing, he followed the rest of the crowd to this… Hell. He knew he wasn't hallucinating because he bit the inside of his cheek until it bled. That should have been enough to wake him up.

The blond that led them around and pointed out the palace and spoke of a war, had intrigued the Uchiha. He walked like he belonged in Hell. He talked like he should be the ruler one day. He glared like he could strike fear in anyone who came his way.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but respect him just a tad bit.

Everyone scattered and went their way. It was instinct that led them to their destinations. Sasuke could feel his blood rush through his system. He was an empty shell that was just as confused as ever.

The blond had spoken of an Emperor. A man that ruled this pitiful utopia. Sasuke wanted to be just like the Emperor. He wanted to become the greatest and surpass the man that looked so confident and outspoken. He wanted to make a name for himself.

With that thought, he smirked.

"Hey!"

Naruto's blue eyes came in contact with his obsidian.

"What?"

Sasuke was taken aback. His instincts told him to retort and restore his pride, but he needed to play his cards right.

"I was wondering if you could show me around."

The Uzumaki arched a brow. "What are you talking about? I already stated the obvious. Enjoy while you can."

What did he mean by that? Oh that's right… he was going to be drafted for the war. Sasuke was positive he could get out of it if he could use this blue-eyed demon.

"It wouldn't hurt to get to know things better. You mentioned a hierarchy of some sort. If it's possible, I'd like to know about it."

The blond stared at him for a moment. He seemed rather calm and collective. There was no sign of thought anywhere on his face.

"We're ruled by a Higher Monarchy, but the standard hierarchy is grouped from Higher, Middle, and Lower. We follow the Shadows and the Shadows follow the Emperor. Thus, we are ruled by the Higher Monarchy. Get it, Slave?"

He was about to object, but the term 'Slave' replayed in his head.

"What did you just call me?" He glared at the blond.

"You're the lowest of the low. If you want to build a reputation, I'd advise you to do it yourself. I'm from the Lower Class." Naruto flashed him a dark look.

Sasuke didn't believe him. He seemed so confident in what he did or say. Being a Lower meant cowardly actions and a meek voice. Being a Lower meant he was unfit to be a true demon. He didn't look like a Slave at all.

"You're lying." Sasuke watched him walk away. "You seem stronger than you look."

At that, Naruto froze.

He turned around and gave Sasuke a withering look.

"I appreciate the compliment, but I don't lie."

The Uchiha stood there and blinked. A reputation, huh? That didn't seem so bad. He watched Naruto stand still and materialize his crimson wings. They were sleek and boney. His pair of wings were much more different from an angel's wings. He flexed his pairs and ascended.

It was a lovely sight. Sasuke accepted the fact that he wasn't lying about being a Lower, but when the Uzumaki allowed his wings to take physical form, he wondered if he was lying after all. Not about his rank, but his strength.

Sasuke gritted his teeth. He was going to surpass every one of these pathetic demons. He was going to surpass Uzumaki Naruto.

'Just you wait.'

Rest assured, darlings. Ita-sama will be in the next chapter :) I haven't exactly thought this through yet… The plot is thin and the process is slow, but I hope the first chapter wasn't that bad. Just like any inexplicable and tedious thought, it came from some weird inspiration (Code Geass). I'm 99 percent sure I won't be raping that anime and relating anything from it to this series.

R&R?

-Attempts a virtual huggie-

Pretty please? :)
