I don't own any of the series presented in this fic(obviously).
~ I ~
~ | Morning Star of Dawn |~
A beautiful and attractive young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, along with a pair of black cat ears, twin tails and hazel gold eyes with cat-like pupils dressed in her attire that consists of a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband, open at her shoulders, giving view to her large breasts ran through the dense brush of the dark forest.
She ran with a younger girl that held to her back, visible specs of blood stained her attire, but the blood was neither hers nor the small child she carried on her back - it was the blood of their former master. She protected her dear sister from his wrath, in the moment she was discovered by a member of his peerage she didn't think, she just took action.
She took her sister and fled into the night.
If they find her and her sister they'll be put to death, she couldn't, no - she wouldn't let that happen. She could hear their frantic footsteps nearing them, getting closer and closer, her breathes were taken in short rasps, sweat came down her hairline and down her face.
"Nee-san...?" Her sister's worried voice rung in her ears, it nearly broke her heart to see the fear in her sister's eyes. "Don't worry Shirone-chan, we'll be alright." A lie? She couldn't guarantee the safety of herself let alone her sister.
"There they are!" A loud voice ripped in the darkness of night just before a beam of magical energy shot passed her and destroyed several trees, she skidded to a halt to avoid falling into the large fault that was left by the blast.
"Kuroka! In the name of the House of Stolas, we shall execute you and that thing as well!" She couldn't help but sneer at the comment, a aura began to slowly take shape around her figure - senjutsu - more Devils presumably from the house just mentioned showed their ugly mugs. Expressions varied - straight - smug - sneer, etc... but all resonated one feeling - disgust.
"Filthy cat, drunk on the power of that blasted art! Now join your race in extinction Hail to the King!" The stockiest Devil yelled while throwing both arms out front to emit a white and yellow energy beam. The beam of energy made it's way across the clearing and at her and Shirone, little options were available to her, she dodged the attack and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
"Damned bitch, spread out and find her! She couldn't have gotten far!" The others followed the orders of the stocky Devil. They nodded and began to fan out through the brush, treading carefully with deadly intentions.
Six she counted, there are six of them, all High-Class Devils, the House of Stolas didn't underestimate her power. The house of Stolas sent some of their stronger Devils to kill her, none of which were from his peerage, too busy mourning the death of their king to peruse her it seems.
She'd handle them quickly and flee, anymore time wasted here would put her sister in even more jeopardy. She crouched and set her down near a bush.
"Shirone-chan just stay right here, I'll be back, don't make any noise okay?" Kuroka whispered in a soft voice to Koneko. "But nee-san-" Kuroka put a finger to the smaller girl's lips. This was too much, it hurt to leave her sister alone in the dark but she needed to clear out this group of Devils before advancing. Shirone held out her pinky finger to Kuroka, the older girl strained a pained smile before gripping the tiny pinky gently with her own.
"I'll be back nya." She stood up and disappeared into the forest, Koneko brought her knees to her chest and held her legs in wait. Her head down in strained wait, she'll come back won't she?
"Damn we lost her! Can't believe we let that sexy feline get away!" One of the other men yelled in frustration, a female Devil besides him looked in disgust and annoyance towards him.
"I say we level this section of the forest, at the very least it'll draw her out." A different woman suggested, some of the others seem to agree with this plan. The stocky man nodded as well.
"That's the way to go, form a magic seal Heila! She won't be able to escape this." The stocky Devil ordered, the six stepped into a seal formed by the Devil woman named Heila, their demonic power rising to the upcoming explosion. A secret spell of the house of Stolas using the power of six High-Class Devils to blow apart a forest the size of a football field.
They heard the grass being shifted beneath the feet of someone, they stopped their ritual and looked to the source of the voice with their hands out ready to fire, the stocky man frowned deeply, the dark outline of a male figure.
Strange... Devil's possessed better vision at night but he couldn't see past the darkness around the man. "Who are you?" He asked the dark figure who stopped several steps from the tree line. From the black silhouette he could make out two curved horns that jutted from his head along with two curved tusks coming from the side of his head and stretching out in front of his face along with a single unsettling blue silted eye staring at them.
It was frightening, he left no presence, if it weren't for the fact that he was standing in front of them they would've never known he was there.
"There was once a angel... the greatest of all Seraphs, beside God he assisted in the creation of the universe. He possessed twelve shimmering wings - however soon enough his jealousy towards the humans being created led him to rebel."
"And there was war in Heaven."
"Micheal and the angels fought against the Dragon..."
"And the Dragon prevailed not... Neither was their place found anymore in Heaven."
"And the great Dragon... That old serpent - which deceives the whole world..."
"He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
"At the time I possessed twelve shimmering wings, twice the number of any other Seraphs..." Two large black wings sprouted from his back and spread wide, unlike the usual bat-like Devil wings these were more line with what you'd see on a dragon with claw tips and tattered ends.
"Within Heaven I was thus called, Bearer of Light, Morning star of Dawn, Great Head Angel Lucifer," Dumbstruck faces, stunned to silence, it can't be! Lucifer was alive!? The former Devil-King stood in front of them, but hadn't perished thousands of years ago? A mist rolled in, getting thicker and thicker as seconds passed. The Devils were confused as to the strange white mist shrouding the area, they soon felt their bodies tense up before falling to their knees.
"A mist?"
"What the hell?"
"I-I can't move-!"
"We've been t-tricked!"
"Damnit!"
The voices of the group went through his ears, what's with this mist!? It's so hard to move, everything was getting blurry he felt like throwing up. "You don't realize what's happened to you nya?" The voice of the playful Kuroka echoed - it was as if she was everywhere at once...
"Lord Lucifer...!" The stocky Devil looked the Devil-King only too see that he was gone. A trick!? Damn it, damn it all! How dare she flash the image of him as nothing but a ploy!
He struggled to move, the voices of the others stopped before he fainted on the grassy took their last breathes as blasts of concentrated energy blasts took their lives. The mist cleared allowing her to check the bodies of the six who laid dead on the ground.
"So simple, really have to step up the requirements for a High-Class Devil nya." But she could've swore that had been talking to someone earlier.
"It's been awhile since I've met a senjutsu user," A male voice uttered startling her, she jumped back quite far and landed facing the source of the voice. She hadn't notice his presence!? She saw nothing but the dark silhouette of a man. His icy blue eye stared at her, his voice, it was the same one she had heard speaking with the group.
"Lucifer?" She questioned fiercely at the dark figure, a heavy feeling came over her, the night seemed to get darker, the feeling of an ancient evil. What was this? It was as if she was being choked by a spectral being. She struggled for breathe as she fell to her knees, she couldn't use Senjutsu nor Youjutsu! It felt like her power was being zapped away.
Was she going to die...?
"Nee-san." The image of Shirone holding her pinky out to her came back, that's right she had to go back to her. She couldn't just sputter out into darkness like this! She struggled to stand up, her legs shaking to move desperately but failed in the end. The figure began to speak...
"It's been years since I've met a fellow senjutsu user, especially someone so good at the art." His spoke rather casually towards her, walking to her fallen form as if he had all the time in the world. He crouched down to her, at this distance she could see spiky hair on his head and white fangs every time he spoke.
"Would you like to come with me? Feel free to bring your sister as well." He stated, was this a dream, was she really being offered to be taken by Lucifer?
"Uh... Taken where nya~?" She asked.
"The human-world, I have a place there," He answered, she didn't know what to do - go with the former Devil-King or take her chances running with her sister. What if she refused his offer and he kills her? From the stories she's read and heard during her time severing her former master Lucifer was said to be the pentacle of Devils and Fallen-Angels, and even dragons. Considering he had taken the form of one in the Bible.
"I need your help in finding my body." His voice rasped, the dark aura blackened his body leaving only his blue eye to glow brightly in the night. She clenched the grass, she hasn't felt this type of fear since the death of her parents and her former master's threats of abuse.
Nevertheless she gulped and stared back into his eye, trying not to show any signs of fear towards him.
"What do you mean nya?" His body? His body was attached to his head wasn't it? His head titled in his gaze on her - figures.
"Didn't you learn this during your time as a Devil?" He asked again with a bit of annoyance prevalent in his tone, Kuroka laid a finger to her lip in thought. Come on Kuroka, you've learn this - lets see, Lucifer fell from Heaven after the war in Heaven, he along with his Angels were banished into the Underworld, he died during the Great War...
Her head hung over in defeat, she couldn't remember. Lucifer nearly face faulted, no matter he'll explain it in depth later. Recomposing himself he spoke to the young cat-girl.
"If you're by my side you and your sister will be safe from the wrath of the Underworld," A black claw gently scratched the tip of her ears, she did her best to ignore the pleasant feeling from the claw to listen to him.
"What do ya say Neko-san?" Her ears twitched but not from his claw no but from the sounds of footsteps. Oh no, the sounds of footsteps neared their position quickly, Devil-men and women sounded through the brush of the dark forest, yelling out for her in cold-blood.
"Shirone!" She gasped, her sister was back there! The darkness recoiled back as the night brightened slightly, she felt her legs were able to move again and stood up to go after Shirone.
Before she could go after her sister he popped up behind her, staring her down with his unblinking eye. She could see the red veins in the whites of eye, also he the dark aura thickened immensely around him, completely hiding his features and succeeding choking the breathe out of her once more.
"Oi! If you're gonna run off at least give me a answer before ya do! That's rude 'ttebayo!" An outburst akin to that of a child wasn't what she'd expect Lucifer to say. She felt the dark power flowing off him, but she didn't have time to fear him she needed to get her sister before those Devils find her.
"Move! I need to get Shirone before those Devils do!" She shouted as the demonic energy wrapped around her voluptuous body, "You mean her?" He casually moved to the side to show Shirone gripping the back of him. Kuroka was shocked to silence, words couldn't be muttered, when did he grab her? Was this an illusion, some type of trick?
"Nee-san!" Shirone ran into Kuroka's arms, she was real! This was actually Shirone holding on to her! In those moments she held her younger sister, she couldn't help but think of his offer - was it genuine? Holding Shirone tighter she looked to his taller form and answered.
"I accept."
Unknown Location
Two Angels flew to a certain spot, their bodies's covered in a magical shield made of light, their angelical white wings flapped as they neared their destination. The shorter haired angel looked back to her ally.
"Careful time flows differently here," She uttered the warning, her comrade heeded the warning with a nod. They neared a void a darkness but kept a safe distance away.
"Even the very light is caught in the outline of the Abyss..." The bending light formed a perfect circle around the void.
"Watch out, the gravity here is immense, that's why time is being slowed around the horizon." The longer haired angel stopped as did her ally, close enough to witness to void without being caught by it's supreme power.
"Going beyond that point means death, no light can ever hope to escape. Even with our divine powers we wouldn't be able to escape." She and the shorter haired girl watched as the void twisted and churned.
"We were instructed to imprison the Dark Lord of Flies who dare took the life of our Lord," The short girl said with a sneer.
"Easy now, don't fall from grace over such a immoral being now dead." The long haired girl looked back, her partner exhaled a calming sigh.
"Right, right I know. But why are we guarding a body?" As the question was asked the light generated by their shields popped and crackled. Suddenly the abyss churned and the light was captured and zapped their shields. They screamed in surprise and shock as the light curved the void of darkness before repelling away back at them.
"What is going on...?" The girl in front dropped her arms from shielding her face.
"The light captured is being flung away!" The shorter haired girl realized, the abyss groaned an unholy groan. "It's wavering! The darkness of the abyss...! For thousands of years this type of abnormality has never happened..." She watched the darkness churn and groan.
"Not good, we must report this to lord Uriel at once!" She and her ally turned away from the void's chilling nature, ignoring the swallowing darkness around and it's heavy nature. They both yelped suddenly in seeing their superior standing behind them.
One of the great archangels of heaven, standing at 194 cm tall with six wings, and long silver hair. Golden armor covered his arms and shoulder, his torso was bare showing his muscular frame, holy robes tied around his waist with a golden sheath dagger hanging at his hip. The robes split at his side to show the long armored white boots that went up to his upper thigh, underneath was a stylistic brown leather tights to cover up the parts where his boots didn't hide.
"I felt some unease, so I came..." He crossed his arms and looked blankly at the void. "A change of this magnitude in the immense field of gravity of the abyss, I believe this is the first time that has happened." Both female angels gushed and nodded along to his words, the darkness shaped and hardened at the void.
"It's active! Like an egg, but that's impossible!" One of the female angels yelled. Uriel stood in silence observing the void's rampant forming.
"Virtues, use those eyes of yours and penetrate the void of darkness to see what lurks within it. Surely someone who actively guards this place can see inside?" He reasoned to the two angelic woman who stopped gushing and recomposed themselves to respond with a "Sir!"
Using their angelic powers their ultra-vision penetrated the abyss to the source.
"Oh my-!"
"T-That's impossible!"
They shouted as their blood ran cold, mouths agape in pure disbelief - Uriel closed his eye calmly. 'Too soon.' They flew back to Uriel and hugged Uriel in fright, their shaking bodies staring back at the void in fear.
"Lord Uriel! The Abyss! It has conceived! From the depths of the infinite darkness, the monster who dared defied our Lord forms!" She cried out with tears forming in the corner's of her eyes. Uriel slowly opened his eyes again as the void churned loudly.
"It's name I cannot say aloud! The fouled being who laid waste to the world thousands of years ago, the data from the seal analysis decreed that he would never return! But his body never decayed nor did it fade, as I speak it forms within the void under the forbidden seal of God!" For it should not be possible, the seal decreed that whoever is bound by God's will shall be forever held within it for all eternity.
Uriel eyes stared upon the void, he could not see beyond the darkness but he knew... Satan's body laid within. They gripped him harder as the infinite dark void groaned louder, enough to shake area violently.
"If he returns Uriel it means the end of all creation!" She cried hysterically, Uriel gently laid his hand on her cheek her cries stopped as his hand touched her face. She looked up into his tantalizing gaze as his bright wings wrapped around her.
"Do not cry, for our Lord still exists with in the hearts of all who accepts his love." He wiped away some of the tears from her cheek, "Now go, you must return to heaven at once to inform Raphael of this development. Understood?" They let go of him and nodded with slight blushes adorning their cheeks.
"Good, now go, I'm counting on the both of you." He turned back to face the abyss. Both girls nodded once more and turned away to zip away in a flash of light, Uriel watched as the lights faded away, silently watching the abyss.
GRRRRKKKKK...
"You're looking this way... aren't you?" For thousands of years the corpse lay within since that day. That's all it was, a corpse - but this feeling...
"You're the only one who ever tried... To rebel against our almighty Lord in heaven, to challenge his absolute presence and omnipotence - and in the end you confirmed your belief didn't you - old friend..." Uriel let a pained sigh escape his lips, putting a hand to his head in thought.
'Lord Lucifer!' Micheal's pained cries echoed through his mind, those memories of the day Lucifer waged war in heaven. The battle that ended and damned the existence of so many angels.
"We've lost too many things in heaven. And now... We can't get a single one back. I had hoped during the Great War, in your fight with father that'll be the end of it. The endless strife between good and evil, light and dark - so why can't I shake this feeling of dread...?" Uriel closed his eyes as silence reigned in the area, before it was tore apart by the loud cry of the darkness overtaking the area. The only light that remained was emanating from his white angelic wings surrounding his body in a holy glow.
"Prince of Murder are you truly gone, or is this feeling of dread all according to your plan...?" Uriel's hand glowed bright in the darkness, dissipating all of the darkness back to the abyss.
Human-world - Residence
Kuroka and her sister Shirone walked inside the house, for reasons he hadn't explained yet he was unable to transport them to the human-world, so it was up to her to transport the three of them here. He had disappeared into the back of the home, telling her that he needed to prepare something. They took to the moderate sized living room to sit and rest, Shirone had fallen asleep on her lap, her head resting on her soft thighs. Lucifer walked into the living room seeing the two on the couch with one sleeping away.
Now she could fully see him wearing an orange sweatshirt with black stripes, along with black pants without any shoes on, his blonde hair, and blue eye with the right eye closed. A scar ran from the top of his eyelid to just below it. If she hadn't known that he was the original Devil-King she would've thought he had hailed from the Phenex clan.
He flopped down on the couch across her in a tired sigh, "This body can't handle my powers, I get so tired easily now."
"What do you mean by that nya?" The black cat girl questioned, he sat up on the couch and crossed his arms, "This body isn't my original one, my original body was sealed long ago in a place somewhere on Earth." Her head titled cutely in a questioning stare.
"That's not what you really look like nya?" She asked.
"Well yes and no, I looked like this but this body is human unlike my previous one. This is what I looked like when I was a angel, after my fall I took the form of a dragon." This body was so weak compared to his old one, granted it was stronger than any other human on Earth but still.
"So where's your original body nya?" He honestly had no idea, he's traveled so far for so long yet he felt no closer to finding it than when he originally started. Gaining a far off look towards the window that had the curtains opened to view the stars in the sky. "End of the World," The words of God echoed through his mind that day, one of the last words he ever spoke.
The day of his final confrontation with God, the day he was split from his body as nothing but a soul and spirit and was reborn as a human newborn.
"Where's that? Nya~" He shrugged, God was always cryptic when it came to these things, it could be anywhere, but he was certain that it wasn't in Heaven. The corpse of such evil wouldn't be allowed even near the gates.
"Anyway once I've found my body I'll claim and dominate the entire universe! Now that God is out of the way I'll claim my spot at the top of all of creation - my original body, a twelve thousand plus meter long serpent with seven horned dragon heads, a serpent's tail, eight arms and a grotesque humanoid figure, the very form I battled to the bitter end with God on that fateful day!" The aura returned once again while he recalled the memories that day over thousands of years ago. His cape split into two large wings, the same wings Kuroka saw when she first meet him.
"How'd you lose it nya?" Almost immediately the black aura disappeared and there a downtrodden man dropped to the floor, "I dropped my guard and was hit with a sealing spell by God," Kuroka sweat dropped at the sudden change in mood.
"It ripped my soul and spirit from my body leaving me as a non-physical being before I was reborn a year later. They named me "Naruto", I actually liked the name, so I kept it all these years." He returned to his seat on the couch and sat there quietly to allow Kuroka to absorb the information he told her.
Who would've thought she be sitting across the former Devil-King himself, she looked around the living room before a question came to mind.
"You live here by yourself?" She asked, he shook his head, "No, she's not here right now," Indeed she wasn't - bit of a complicated situation. That and the regular guest he had, a certain someone constantly visiting him, was it to sit and talk? No, no it wasn't, it was to fight - that or laze around.
"Feel free to sleep in one of the guest rooms, and or use the bathrooms to shower in," He stretched, it was late - he had to get to bed. Thousands of years later and he still needs to sleep, damn human body. She seem to understand, watching him walk out the living room and upstairs - all in all this was a step up from her last situation. Granted this place was smaller than the mansion but it didn't bother her at all.
Looking down to Shirone she rubbed the smaller girl's hair gently, amazingly staying asleep through Naruto's at times loud explanation.
The next day, Kuroka garbed in nothing but her underwear and rustled bed head came into the kitchen after hearing some strange noises. Her ears twitched, feminine, a woman - she inched closer to entrance. It sounded like she was talking to Naruto...
"I'm here for training," A young girl no older than her, with dark silver hair tied in a short ponytail, her banes shielding one of her eyes. Said eyes were ice blue that rimmed with a light ultramarine. She wore a dark jacket with a white tank top underneath with black pants and boots, she stood with her arms crossed at the fridge in a cold stare, Naruto sat at the table in the same attire as last night.
"Of course you are Vali, you're practically never here for anything else," He said back in a tired sigh before a gleam appeared in his eye, "Did you master the rasengan?" A smirk plastered on his face as he asked.
"I did it in three days," She answered in a straight face which caused Naruto droop his head on the table in a depressed manner. Grumbling something about it taking him a week to master.
"I guess we can move on with your other lessons then," He stood up from the table and began walking to doorway where Kuroka was spying at. Vail followed closely behind him.
"Oh Kuroka you're up, didn't think you'd be up so early." He greeted the short Neko, early? She looked to a clock on the hallway wall, nine a.m. huh? Naruto realized something suddenly and gestured to the girl behind him.
"Oh Kuroka this is Vali Lucifer, I've been training her for awhile-" He paused and zipped close enough to whisper into her ear. "She's also a battle maniac," Zipping back to his previous spot in front of Vali.
"Lucifer...? Nya~" The Nekomata realized the name, then that means, "Does that make you two..." She trailed off, Vali kept her arms crossed with straight face, Naruto titled his head which Kuroka had to admit was a bit cute. Thinking about the fact that she found Satan himself "cute" weird.
"Oh, dating - hurk!" A pained groan split his lips, Kuroka saw that the girl had struck him in the ribs at an amazing speed. She bore an annoyed look at the answer he gave while he bent over, yet standing up right still, he grasped the area struck as Vali removed her hand.
"I was kidding Vali-chan," Naruto rasped in pain, she's gotten faster it seems from their lessons. "Who's she?" Vali stared with her icy blue eyes at Kuroka.
"Kuroka, I'm serving under Lucifer now, pleased to meet you Vali-chan," Kuroka touched her lips to match her playful tone.
"That's right! She's gonna help me find my body!" Naruto popped up behind Kuroka without warning startling the poor girl.
"Kuroka...? Ah, right you're the girl Azazel mentioned, the SS-ranked Stray Devil from the Underworld," Both Naruto and Kuroka were stunned at the new info, SS? That's a very high rank for a fugitive.
"Azazel? The Fallen-Angel leader, how do you know him nya~?" Curious as to know how a descendant of Lucifer knows one of the leaders of the Grigori.
"He's one of the men who raised me." Vali answered.
"He's also one of the men who fell from Heaven with me, sex without a special ritual was a no, no but he gave into his desires and fell. When I waged war up there he joined the charge. He's a pretty decent guy once ya get to know him. Very interested in [Sacred Gears] too." Borderline obsession maybe, but he does good work - he even got him this neat pace. Though it came at a price of certain books, Azazel had another obsession it seems.
"Anyway we're gonna go and train, wanna watch?" Kuroka was interested in watching whatever "training" Naruto was going to give Vali, but her ears twitched in hearing the sounds of her younger sister waking up.
"Maybe later nya~," She declined and proceeded up the stairs, but not before winking at Naruto, and bouncing up stairs on her delicate feet.
The door creaked opened alerting the just awoken Shirone, "Nee-san, where are we?" The silver haired neko yawned.
"In the house of Lucifer apparently nya," Kuroka sat on the bed next to Shirone, the smaller girl wrapped her arms around Kuroka.
"Are we... safe here?"Shirone asked in a bit of a shaky voice. In shock from last night from the people trying to kill her and her sister and shocked that she was in the house of Morningstar.
"Hopefully so, he doesn't feel like our former master. He's different to say the least nya." Kuroka tried to comfort her sister, "Isn't he apart of the underworld?" Shirone asked, Kuroka shook her head, if that was the case then they wouldn't be here right now.
"Don't worry Shirone-chan, I'll protect you, I won't let anything happen to you nya," Kuroka reassured she felt Shirone stop shaking in her embrace. Finally calming down after the entire ordeal. Glad to still be with her sister still after everything - BOOM! - both of their eye's widened comically after hearing a large explosion outside.
They both inched up to the window in the room and saw a large crater in the backyard and Vali attempting to hit Naruto.
Said girl was doing her best to hit Naruto, but he parried every blow she threw, no matter if it was a kick or punch it was directed away from him - okay new plan. Jumping back to the middle of the backyard she activated her trump card.
Divine Dividing! Two white armored wings sprouted from her back allowing her to take flight, "So you unlocked your [Sacred Gear]?" He mused from the ground, Vali quirked an eyebrow.
"You don't seem surprised," She watched as he rubbed his head in a sheepish laugh, "Azazel told me about you activating it a couple of days ago," Vail grew a tick mark, that traitor! She wanted to surprise him with this!
"But I'm impressed, to be able to unlock it at such a young age is amazing Vali-chan." He dodged another strike, those wings increased her speed, even with her speed increase she still struggled to hit him.
"That's right, you divide anything that you touch, kinda of meaningless if you can't hit me." Naruto said casually as he leapt over her head to avoid a straight punch to the ground. Vali turned on a dime and zoomed at his falling body before it met the ground, he turned mid air and faster than she could react with a yellow colored spiraling sphere in hand.
'The Rasengan!?' She outstretched her arm and met the sphere, Divide! A loud male voice shouted as the sphere was reduced to half it's original size. Naruto jumped back to gain distance between him and her.
He dispelled the attack with a satisfied smile, "You halved it, good."
"Good? What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"I wanted to see if you could halve my rasengan, and speaking of rasengans..." He leered at her, picking up what he wanted she gripped her wrist and opened her hand. Concentrating, it took seconds for a blue and silver colored aura to take shape in her hand. Soon a sphere spiraling in her hand formed, Naruto was impressed to say the least.
"Wow, with one hand no less, keep it up Vali and I'll teach the stronger variations of it." She let the rasengan dissipate before looking at him. He noted that she seemed to want more than that.
"What about your spells?" Vali saw the tired sigh from him as he drooped his shoulders, it seemed like he was hoping she wouldn't ask that.
"That too Vali but you have complete a special task first," She perked up slightly at mention of a special task, what could it be?
"I'm going to kill him..." Vali's eye's twitched, apparently the "special task" was nothing more than Naruto getting her to take out Shirone and Kuroka out for clothes. Granted if anything it was more for Shirone as Kuroka was fine with her current attire. Shirone only had the small robes from her time as a servant. They went into the town to get clothes for the small girl.
"Isn't this a cozy little town nya," Kuroka looked around, uncaring of the stares she attracted due to her... erotic appearance.
"Is that a cosplayer?" A teen girl whispered to her friend, her friend beside her moved in close to her to whisper, "I think so, but it looks so real. I wonder how much it cost?" A hint a envy in her voice.
"Such a vulgar dress, prattling around with her chest out, so indecent!" A older middle-aged woman hissed lowly. "And the little girl too, is she a priestess from a shrine or something?" A teenage boy whispered.
"Ne Vali-chan, where's a good place to find clothes for girls Shirone's size?" Kuroka asked, Vali reluctantly gave in, might as well get it over with. Vali lead the two to a place that was known for selling woman's clothes. And much like their trip over to the store they received some stares, ugh the things she does for him.
"Isn't this a nice little outfit," Kuroka browsed through the section, she practically wasted no time in looking for clothes. Vali walked over to a bench in the store to wait while the two browsed.
"You seen that? A delinquent and two cosplayers shopping, very strange." Vali internally groaned. "Maybe they're lovers running away together, love truly knows no bounds!" Her colleague gossiped, apparently they thought Vali was hard of hearing because she could hear them! And really? Lovers?
"Vali! Psst! Come here!" Vali peeped towards the low voice, Kuroka peeking through the curtains of the dressing room which was a B-line from her current sitting position. Vali was going to ignore it but given the whispers, she'd take her chances with whatever Kuroka wanted.
Walking over to the Neko with her arms crossed and stopping just outside the dressing room, "What?" Vali was surprised by Kuroka suddenly yanking her in, Vali stumbled but quickly regained her footing in the small space.
"W-what was that for?" Vali hissed quietly to avoid anymore suspicion, then she noticed Kuorka had turned around to show her back. Wait a second... why did she have on a different outfit?
"Why do you-"Mou I got curious and decided to try on something, but it's too small nya." She pointed to the zipper half way up her back. There was a 'curiosity killed the cat' joke to be made but Vali decided against it. She tried to zip up the dress and was failing - the hell?
"Try to be gentle Vali nya," Kuroka wiggled - maybe if she'd stop moving! "Maybe you should get a different dress," Vali reasoned, Kuroka looked over her shoulder with a pout.
"But this is the only one they have that I like, besides it's not too small," Kuroka looked back.
'Try saying that with smaller tits,' Vali remarked, trying her best to zip up the back, "You know people are starting to notice," Shirone poked her head into the dressing room.
Damn you Naruto! Leaving her to do this!
Azazel was meeting with some Fallen-Angels to discuss some very important topics, like the rising tension between the factions, their decreasing numbers, etc... After the meeting ended and his home was empty he sat on the floor in front of the t.v to play one of the many video games he owns.
"So the great Lucifer actually does have time to visit me," Azazel stated calmly and without turning away from the screen, Naruto came out from the shadows of the dark room, stepping towards the sitting man.
"You act like I can't visit an old friend." He sat beside Azazel. "Old friend? Never expected the great Satan'el to refer to me in such a way," Azazel said in mock surprise.
"Vali-chan is doing well in training, she practically has the whole chakra thing down pact." Naruto began, Azazel chuckled while toggling the controls.
"Is that so? Soon she'll be able challenge you, that's her goal after all, defeating Great Red, and you. Though I'm a little surprised that you'd still train her even knowing all of that." Azazel wondered, ever since he introduced Vali to Naruto the girl wanted to surpass him. Even going as far as to ask for training under the former Devil-King, and to Azazel's shock Naruto accepted.
"Yeah she's just like you said a battle manic, always wanting to fight strong opponents, she's quite the prodigy too. Practically learning all of my lessons in no time," Naruto laid back on the floor, fully stretched and placed his hands behind his head.
"That's right I have something to tell you Luchee," Azazel realized, setting the controller down and standing up while ignoring the annoyed tick mark on the blonde's head.
"From one of my subordinates I caught wind of a new group forming," Azazel went into the other room yet Naruto still hadn't opened his eye. "And?" Naruto leered while relaxing on the floor.
He was answered when Azazel dropped a large file on his stomach, the blonde let out a "oof!" and sat up. "Eh, what's with these papers? You're not trying to trick me into doing your paperwork are you?" Azazel waved off the accusation.
"No, no, I have others I can trick into doing that, this is a bunch of recordings on the group, nothing strange yet but who knows?" Naruto flipped through the papers as a once over.
"What does this have do with finding my body? And is this a picture of one of your fallen-angels?" Naruto held up a pick of a fairly attracted woman.
"Just giving out any leads I could find, you yourself said any possible leads would help," Azazel shrugged.
"And the pic?" Naruto asked, Azazel walked up to him and kneeled to lay a hand on his shoulder. It looked serious by Azazel's expression, maybe a spy undercover, or a top tier fall-angel in the Grigori?
"Some new material for your next book!" Azazel's eyes lit up in pure joy while the blonde deadpanned. Guess that explains these other pictures of the same woman in the buff posing erotically.
"Right... I'll get on that," Naruto stood up with the file and pictures in hand. "Naruto one more thing before you go -" Naruto turned around to face Azazel, "Are you really planning on destroying everything?" Azazel asked this time he was serious.
"Well.. maybe not everything, I'll leave earth intact but as my personal Eden, but I'll scorch heaven along with his children." Naruto answered.
"And what of the underworld?" Azazel watched as Naruto's eye hardened in a stare towards the wall.
"Depends..." He answered vaguely, "On what?" Azazel wasn't satisfied with the answer.
"Depends on if they try an stop me," Azazel was reminded on how stubborn he was, in Heaven, in Hell, and even as a human he remained stubborn as the day they met.
"Speaking of which what happened in Hell, everything looks different, reminds me of the human world." Last time he was down there they were in the midst of war, something about factions wanting power, honestly the details were sketchy to him. That's actually where he met-
"War? Oh the Civil War in hell, right after the fighting the new leaders, Sirzechs, Serafall, Ajuka, and Falbium took over after driving the original's descendants out, it's no longer a sole rule as it was when you were in charge, now they're called The Four Great Satans."
"Eh? Since when did my name become a title?" Naruto was confused but also flattered at the sheer respect his people still held for him. Enough to make his very name a rank, though a part him thought it may lose that feel as when he was refereed to it long ago.
"After you "died", the Devils and fallen-angels fell back into hell where chaos rose at the loss of our leader. Soon some of the descendants of your generals, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus came into the picture to rule, but was met with Devils who opposed them." It was during that point Azazel in the civil war broke off from the Devils along with many other fallen-angels to form the Grigori.
"They're pretty strong to say the least, especially Sirzechs who's now the current Lucifer," At that point Naruto faulted slightly in shock, the current Lucifer!? They even took his name in heaven as title? What else did they take the "Morningstar" too?
"Current Lucifer eh? There's only one Lucifer and that was the former Great Head Angel Lucifer, tell me more about these Great Satans," Naruto inquired.
"All of it was included in the files I gave you," Azazel sat back down in front of the t.v. Naruto groaned at the large files and took his leave, gonna be up all night doing this.
That's chapter one done, feel free to ask questions and I'll try to answer them. Fair warning I won't answer any questions that'll give away spoilers later in the fic. Example: pairings, I won't be giving away the exact pairing(s) but feel free to guess who it would be. That and I'm drawing some of the lore here from a another manga to write this, can any of you guess? :^3
This took place several years before canon of course, so characters here are younger because of that.
