Chapter 2

[2 Years Before Canon]

*Swish*

*Swoosh*

*Twack*

A seventeen year old Azrael and Bikou are seen sparring on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit once again for the former's visit.

Azrael swung his spear downwards as Bikou side stepped to the left of the attack before he swung horizontally but Azrael just jumped over it and proceeded to stab him from midair. Bikou batted it to the side and kicked him while he was still in the air but Azrael just landed on his outstretched foot before placing his spear right in his face as Bikou stabbed at the same time, thus the spar ended in yet another draw.

The champion of Amaterasu landed softly on the ground before turning to his brother.

"You've gotten better." he said, Bikou just laughed.

"As have you brother dearest, I'd have thought you were too busy thinking about a certain kyuubi to keep training." he replied.

Azrael just blushed at the mention of his crush, these past few years had made the kitsune even more beautiful and their relationship had improved greatly, resulting in Azrael's infatuation with her growing even more so.

"Shut up you stupid primeape." he said, Bikou actually looked somewhat offended.

"Excuse me? You homo sapiens should learn to respect your superiors a little more." the monkey king's descendant bantered back.

They both glared at eachother for a moment before laughing and laying down on the grass.

"So how long are you gonna stay for this time around?" Bikou asked.

"Actually, I'm gonna have to attend a meeting up at the heaven, I only barely managed to get away for today, I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon." the golden boy said with a sigh. Being Amaterasu's champion was a lot more work than he thought it would've been.

"Has the old coot gotten any information on the Khaos Brigade yet?" he asked. Bikou just sighed.

"No, they seem to have just disappeared from the overworld, however, not completely." he said as his expression changed.

"Listen Azrael, someone came to me the other day while I was cloud surfing out in civilization." he started. Azrael raised an eyebrow, unsure of what he was getting at.

"Her name was Valian Lucifer, the great granddaughter of the original Lucifer, she offered me a place in her group. The organization, as you know, was made by Ophis in order to beat Great Red so it can go back to the dimensional gap. Vali's group is a small band of her and some others who go around doing whatever they want. But they have morals, they're good people at heart, I want you to join with me...as spies." he finished with a serious tone.

Azrael was beyond shocked, for the descendant of Lucifer to approach him was one thing, for Bikou to think of such a plan was just crazy.

"Are you serious right now? Join them as spies? How the hell is that even going to work? Who are we gonna be spies for? The old coot would never help, and I'm pretty sure mother isn't gonna let me either." he voiced his opinion.

"We can gather information for ourselves, sabotage them from the inside, what do you say? Come on this is our chance here. We could make a real difference here, the next monkey king and the champion of Amaterasu, we're strong, we can handle it. What do you say?" Bikou convinced.

Azrael thought for a moment, this was absolutely crazy but... a difference could be made here. He had heard about how Ophis is from his patron, it was too naive, for all the power that Ophis possessed, it wouldn't notice a thing. Then an image of Yasaka came into his mind. How could he leave her, the love of his life? He couldn't, at least not right now. Not until he at least told her how he really felt about her.

That was when a thought came up. Bikou, for all he was worth, would normally never think of such a thing, most would think he was just too much of an idiot, but Azrael knew that his brother was just lazy. So why is it that Bikou was actually considering this? There had to be something else here that he wasn't telling him. The look in his eyes. He knew that look, he often held such an expression on his own face whenever he saw Yasaka. His eyes slowly widened as the connection was made.

"Bikou..." he slowly called.

"Yeah?" was the immediate reply.

"You said that the descendant of Lucifer was a she right?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah...what about it?" Bikou responded, that was all the confirmation Azrael needed.

"So I was right...you like her don't you? Otherwise you'd never think of doing something so troublesome." Azrael said with a smirk, causing Bikou to blush.

"I...I-I have no idea what you're talking about. Me? In love? Oh please, as if that were possible!" the monkey denied.

Azrael just smirked even more, "I just asked if you liked her in some way, I never said anything about being in love."

Bikou just froze but shook it off with an agitated look on his tomato red face.

"Just answer the question damn it! Will you join me or not!?" he changed the subject, his brother contemplated for a moment before replying.

"I... I don't know, I'm not against the idea, but I can't just right now." he responded. Bikou just smiled understandingly.

"You can't leave Yasaka huh? It's alright, I understand, just be there for me when I need it." he said. Azrael was shocked for the millionth time, these were the times where he really cherished his brother.

"So you understand huh? And pray tell, how would you understand if you claim to not be in love?"...it was because he cherished him that he just had to do this.

"Shut up insufferable idiot!" they both glared at eachother before bursting into laughter.

"When are you leaving then?" Azrael asked.

"Well, I still have a week to decide technically, so I'm gonna make it last while I can, wanna spar one last time dear brother?" he suggested in a humorous tone. Their rivalry truly was unforgettable.

"Of course...brother."

The next morning would be the last time either brother saw eachother for a long, long time.

"I'll see you soon my boy." Wukong said as Azrael gave him a quick hug before turning to Bikou and nodding, to which he returned the gesture. He then erupted into black flames as he returned to Kyoto-Gosho.

When he appeared in the courtyard, the guards bowed as he waved to them before he made his way to the bridge. Amaterasu would be waiting for him by now so he decided to hurry.

However, on his way, he saw Yasaka speaking with a man he had never seen before near the koi pond. He figured his mother could wait a moment longer as he silently crept towards them, he quietly walked on the water so until he was under the bridge the two were standing on, his ki flowing unnaturally around him as he usually did that so no one could sense him. One of the first things he was taught by his grandfather was stealth and the importance of it. Even Amaterasu could be caught off guard sometimes if he really tried.

"You really are a beauty I've never thought possible Yasaka-san. Tell me, what is your secret?" the mystery man flirted. At that moment Azrael already wanted to punch him in the mouth. Yasaka meanwhile, just giggled and thanked him for the compliment before playing along.

"Ara ara, how daring of you Kuyou-san, I have many suitors after me, what makes you think you're any worthier than all of them?" the kyuubi teased.

"I do not think myself worthy of you, but I do believe I'm-" "Yo!" Kuyou was interrupted as Azrael made his presense known by appearing on the railing in a squat position right between them with a shit eatting grin on his face. Yasaka jumped a bit but was delighted to see him. Though she hoped he hadn't heard the conversation just now.

"Az-kun, I thought you had to go to the heaven for a meeting?" she questioned. Azrael just kept smiling.

"Well I do, but I decided that I'd drop by and give you a hug." he said as he seemingly disappeared before reappearing behind the queen and wrapping his arms around her waist while setting his head on top of her's thanks to his height, much to her amusement, and secret enjoyment, and to Kuyou's chagrin.

"Yasaka-san, would this man also happen to be one of those suitors that you've previously mentioned?" he asked, Yasaka blushed heavily, which served to annoy Kuyou even further, as she spoke with a slight stutter.

"W-what? n-no of c-course not, he's just a dear friend, we've known eachother for a decade." she denied, this caused Azrael to frown for a slight moment, something Kuyou didn't miss.

"Yep, that's right, in order to get anywhere with Yasaka-chan here, you need to get my approval first." The champion of Amaterasu said as he put an extra emphasis on the honorific to show the difference in placement.

Kuyou just growled in annoyance. 'This punk, who does he think he is?' he thought.

"Is that so? Well might I ask that we introduce eachother? I'll speak first, my name is Kuyou the nanabi no kitsune, I am Yasaka-san's third cousin." the fox said quite arrogantly.

"A pleasure to meet you, my name is Sun Azrael, the adopted grandson of Sun Wukong, the champion of Amaterasu-sama, and the commander of the palace guard and army. I'm also the wielder of the Shinto's spear of heaven and creation." the golden haired teen said with a simple smile on his face.

Hearing this caused both kitsune to go in shock, though for different reasons. For Kuyou, to see that such an obstacle for the queen's heart would appear in the form of a teenager with such backing and power caused him to reconsider his approach. Yasaka however, was shocked because she had never heard her friend introduce himself in such a way, he was the most humble person she knew, what caused him to do this? And it didn't escape her notice that his grip seemed to tighten slightly as the conversation continued, almost as if he were being territorial over her. The thought made her heart skip a beat.

As Kuyou was about to speak again a beam of light shot down from the skies, Azrael slightly paled before he excused himself.

"Oops, looks like mother isn't happy with my tardiness, I must be off then, do take care, it was nice meeting you Kuyou-san. Oh and Yasaka-chan, I'll try to be home by dinner tonight okay? Bye!" and with that our hero vanished in a burst of speed.

"I swear, without me who knows what that idiot might do?" Yasaka sighed before turning to her cousin.

"Well, it was nice to see you again Kuyou-san, but I must be going too, I am the queen afterall." she said. And with that she walked away, leaving behind a fuming Kuyou.

'That boy, he must be removed in order for the plan to succeed. I must contact Cao Cao with haste.' he thought as he stomped away.

A beam of light took Azrael to the heaven as he saw his patron giving him a look that promised great pain.

"Now mother, I understa-, ow ow ow, I'm sorry, please please let go!" Amaterasu wasn't playing games as she grabbed him by the ear mid-excuse and dragged him off towards the main palace.

"Don't you "now mother" me young man, I thought I made it clear how important this meeting was when we last talked, and I've been waiting by the gate for nearly half an hour. I finally look in the pond to see you busy being jealous over Yasaka. You know she won't choose him as a suitor, so why bother?" the goddess of the sun ranted on.

"Ow, b-but this was different, she was actually flirting back, I wasn't just gonna let it happen." he defended as her grip on his ear just tightened.

"Don't you talk back to me young man, you should understand priority. And being jealous because someone is talking to your crush does not outweigh a meeting with an entire pantheon of gods, especially when the meeting concerns you in particular." Amaterasu continued.

They finally made it to the doors of the throne room as the solar deity quickly pushed the giant doors open and threw him by the ear towards the middle of the room, it was a grand throne room with a throne for each major deity. Susanoo, Tsukynomi, Inari, and Izanagi to be exact, along with his mother of course. The thrones were organized in a U shape with marble pillars behind them. The gods, of course, looked on in amusement as they witnessed the almost regular scene.

"Oww..." Azrael said as he sat up and began rubbing the back of his head. When he looked up he saw that there was a guest this time around. He had black hair with blonde bangs and a goatee, he wore a long maroon suit and had a casual smirk on his face.

The champion finally stood up before asking, "Uh, who the hell are you?", this just served to humor the stranger even more as he just full on laughed along with Susanoo.

Izanagi just smiled before speaking, "Azrael-kun, this is Azazel-san, the govenor general of the Grigori, the fallen angels' faction out of the three biblics." he announced.

"Sup." the golden teen said tactlessly, as his mother facepalmed.

"You're a pretty amusing kid you know that, and you were named after the angel of death of all things, I'll enjoy working with you." Azazel replied.

"Huh?" was all he got as a response, this just wasn't Azrael's day. Luckily Susanoo, his favorite, was there to explain the situation.

"Azazel-san here wants a vacation home in the same town the devils wanted, Kuoh. And you know the relations there and the problems that come with that so we made a deal." he said.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Azrael asked.

"Well you see kid, I'm a scientist more than anything else these days, and sacred gears are something that really peek my interest, so when I was told the Shinto faction's spear of creation was made into a sacred gear, I offered to help figure out all the possibilities of it, in exchange I get to have a place to myself in the town. Of course conflict with the devils isn't allowed but that's fine with me, I'm not really all that into war." it was Azazel who spoke.

"So...you're gonna help me figure out why my badass spear turns into a staff when I enter my sage mode?" the youngest in the room asked.

"Yeah, that's about right. So what do you say, partners?" the fallen angel offered his hand. Azrael didn't see any down sides and took it.

"Great! Now, why don't we all go and have a banquet?" Inari asked with a clap of her hands and a happy smile, tails wagging behind her.

[After The Banquet]

"I hope to see you soon young man." Amaterasu said as she gave Azrael a hug.

"Of course mother. Now I really have to go and see Yasaka. Bye!" and with that, a beam of light took the young man down to the mortal plane.

'Best of luck my child, you will need it for the trials you are to face in the near future. I just hope you don't lose yourself in the darkness, for I shall always shine the light onto your path when I can.' the goddess of the sun thought before walking away.

So yeah...not as long as I would like, but this is a decent point to end off at for now. Now, I'm gonna work on Revival Of The Sins and Legend Of The Ice God. I'll get back to this in a month...more or less.~ja ne
