By that Sin fell the Angels

A/N: Yo people! Triforcelord here with the next chapter of this story! Sorry that it's so late, but I have a good reason…Which I will explain at the end of the chapter, along with some other things.

Plus, this story somewhat earns its M rating in this chapter, so don't say that I didn't warn you. Well, I guess you guys probably want me to get on with the chapter, so here you go!

By that Sin fell the Angels Chapter 7: The Fallen Angels

Beep.

'Shut up.'

Beeeep.

"I said shut up!"

…Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Suddenly, a roar of anger was heard as a fist swung down and crushed the object making the offending noise. A curse was heard soon afterwards as a certain blonde realized that the alarm clock had done its job: He was now awake.

"You win this round, alarm-teme," Naruto grumbled, giving said clock a death glare, "but next time, I'll be victorious! I swear it upon all that is good and ramen!"

Naruto heard a tsking sound in his head. 'So now you are making challenges to inanimate objects?' Raisochi said, 'And I thought your mental condition couldn't get any worse.'

"Shut up, stormy guy." Naruto grumbled, groaning as he sat up and got out of bed. He ignored Raisochi's dark mutterings that always came after Naruto called him stormy guy and shuffled across his floor towards his kitchen, where he instinctively picked up a cup of ramen out of his cupboard and began to open it.

'Ah ah ah.' Raisochi said, 'Do you not remember what we talked about last night?'

Naruto froze. Now that he thought about it, he remembered a conversation that he had with Raisochi. But he had been hoping that it was a nightmare, the nightmare of all nightmares…

'You can only have ramen once a week.' Came Raisochi's way too happy reply.

Naruto's scream of anguish could be heard across the entire village. Many mothers covered their children's ears at the slew of curse words that followed, and many veteran shinobi listened closely because they were hearing some words that they never heard before.

Needless to say, Raisochi was veeery happy at the result.

Team seven was waiting at their usual spot on the bridge. Everyone was there…except Kakashi, but the preteens were used to his tardiness so it didn't really bother them. And even though he was technically present, Naruto didn't seem to be all there either…

"N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata said concernedly for the twentieth time, "Wh-What's wrong?" She waved her hand in front of the unresponsive Naruto's face, and snapped her fingers a couple of times, but the only response she got was the word 'ramen' repeated over and over under his breath.

Hinata sighed and looked over to Sasuke, who was watching Naruto out of the corner of his eye. Even he was slightly worried about his teammate, who, although he was a bit…okay, extremely annoying, he was decently strong. The last Uchiha had never told anybody, but he had overheard a couple of Chunin talking about what happened the night that Mizuki "left".

He had thought that it was complete and utter bull crap until he overheard a different pair of ninja, this time Jonin, talking about the same thing. He was forced to accept the fact that Naruto was stronger than he let on, and that he may be able to help him in his quest for revenge.

Seeing that Sasuke was brooding again, Hinata glanced at the still unresponsive Naruto and sat next to him, hugging her knees close to her body. She closed her eyes and thought about all that had transpired in the two weeks since they had passed Kakashi's test. She and Naruto had been hanging out more often, which was a plus in her book. He didn't show any signs of liking her in a romantic way that she could see, but he still seemed to like hanging around her, so she had hopes that he would develop feelings for her someday…Although Jounai's "help" with the clothes probably put a setback on that.

As her thoughts turned to her demigod, she remembered the talk that she and Naruto had had about them. It was certainly a strange conversation, that's for sure…

-One day after the bell test-

Hinata was breathing slowly and deeply. She was preparing herself for the hardest thing she had ever done in life. This was much harder than sparring against her father. Her cousin and sister had never put her through this much stress before. Maybe this was a bad idea. What if…

'Just knock on the door.' Came the voice of a deadpanning Jounai, 'What are you, twelve…Wait, you are twelve, aren't you? Well, ummm…you're still a kunoichi, so this should be easy for you! Now knock on the door before I take over your body!'

Nodding quickly, although she had a sweat drop, Hinata hesitated, then knocked on the door firmly three times.

Jounai nodded to herself in satisfaction. A bit of fear was always a good motivator, especially seeing what she had done the last time she had taken over the Hyuuga heiress' body…as well as a good distraction.

Hinata heard footsteps, then a aloud crash, followed by some creative swearing, followed by much slower footsteps. The footsteps stopped outside of the door. Hinata started to hyperventilate. 'No, come on, you can do this!' Hinata thought to herself…Before starting to back away. However, before she could go two feet, the door opened, revealing a wincing Naruto clutching his leg. However, when he saw Hinata, he quickly let go of his leg and stood up straight.

"Hey, Hinata-chan, what's up?" Naruto asked, putting his hands behind his head and grinning, "I didn't expect you to be here."

Hinata, however, was currently turning bright red and was using all of her willpower to keep herself from passing out. The reason for this was because of the person standing right in front of her…Who was shirtless.

Through the haze that was threatening to bring her under, she was very impressed to see that he had developing pectoral muscles and a developing four pack, as well as rapidly growing biceps and triceps.

'Oh…my…Kami…' Hinata and Jounai thought at the same time, 'He's hot.'

Naruto, however, was oblivious to Hinata's eye-raping. He did notice, however, that she was doing a wonderful impression of a ripe tomato, and looked down to where she was staring. He quickly looked back up with a slight blush on his face.

"A-Ahh, sorry Hinata-chan." He said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "I should probably put a shirt on. You can come in while I get dressed if you want, okay?"

Nodding, Hinata regained control of her motor functions and walked into her crushes apartment for the first time.

Her first impression: Messy.

She was appalled at the conditions that Naruto was living in. There was empty ramen cups lying around on the floor and dirty clothes strewn about the entire room. The sink was overflowing with dirty dishes, and the counters looked like they hadn't been scrubbed in months.

Rolling up her sleeves, Hinata sighed and got to work.

-Twenty minutes later-

A fully clothed and freshly cleaned Naruto walked out of his bedroom. "Sorry it took me so long, Hinata-chan, but I…decided…to…take…Whoa." Naruto looked around his messy house, which wasn't so messy any more. The dirty clothes were washed and hanging up on a drying rack that he never used. The empty ramen cups and random trash was nowhere to be seen, and the floor looked like it had been freshly sweeped too. He walked into the kitchen and saw that his counters had been freshly scrubbed and polished so much that they shined. But what amazed him most was the sight of Hinata rinsing and drying his dishes that he barely ever bothered to clean, before adding the dish that she was working on onto an already large pile of cookware.

"H-Hinata-chan…" Naruto said, blinking. Hinata jumped and dropped the dish that she was working on. Before it could fall to the ground however, Naruto had moved towards her and caught it. He added it to the pile and turned to Hinata, who was surprised to see that his eyes were slightly wet.

She was even more surprised when Naruto walked over to her and gave her a hug. Even though she was doing her ripe tomato impression, she still found the courage to reach over and hug him back.

"Thank you." Naruto said, letting go of her. Before he did, however, he breathed in through his nose and caught a whiff of Hinata's scent. Ironically enough, she smelled like lavender.

"I-It's not a problem, Naruto-kun." Hinata said, smiling shyly, "I just c-couldn't let y-you stay in th-those conditions."

"Well, here." Naruto said, reaching for his back pocket, "At least take this." He took out his wallet and took out a few hundred ryo, offering it to her.

However, Hinata shook her head and pushed his hand away gently. "N-No, Naruto-kun, I-I can't take that." She said, "I d-did it because I-I wanted to. I don't w-want any p-payment."

Nodding, Naruto slowly put away his wallet. As he did, however, a smile grew on his face. It wasn't one of his overly cheerful smiles either. It was a true smile, and even though it wasn't as big as his normal one, Hinata loved it even more. She smiled back, and the two looked at each other…

'As sweet as this is, there's a reason why you came here Hinata.' Came Jounai's voice in the indigo-haired girls head. Jumping, Hinata remembered why she was in her crushes house in the first place.

"A-Ano, Naruto-kun?" Hinata said hesitantly.

"What's up?" Naruto asked, puzzled by Hinata's sudden change in mood.

Hinata sighed. She hadn't wanted this to end yet. "W-Well, the r-reason why I-I came over h-here was to talk t-to you about…umm, our d-demigods." She winced as Naruto's expression hardened.

"Right. Hold on, let me talk to Raisochi." Naruto said before closing his eyes and concentrating.

'Yo Raisochi, are you there?' Naruto asked.

There was a pause. 'I am in your soul.' Came the mildly annoyed reply, 'Of course I am here.'

Twitching slightly, Naruto continued. 'Well, its time for you guys to talk with us. Which place are we going to, yours or Jounai's?'

'Neither.' Raisochi said, 'We're coming out there. Now, do I have your permission to temporarily leave your body?'

Startled, Naruto just decided to go with it. 'Umm, sure?'

'Good enough.' Raisochi said, 'Now, Hinata and Jounai are doing the same thing right now, so don't try to talk to them until Jounai's out. Now if you excuse me, I'm leaving your pitiful excuse for a mind.'

Before Naruto could react to the "pitiful mind" comment, he felt the connection break and opened his eyes just as a purple and gold blur shot out of his stomach and landed on the floor. There was a bright flash, and Naruto raised his hand over his eyes to block out the light. When it cleared, Naruto lowered his hand and saw Raisochi standing in the middle of his living room.

Raisochi looked around. "So this is where you live, huh?" He said, inspecting the room, "It's better than it normally looks, I'll give you that."

Before Naruto could counter, there was another flash, coming from where Hinata was standing. When it cleared, Naruto's jaw dropped. Standing in front of him was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, who was looking around the room with an appraising eye.

"Wow, Hinata, you really know how to clean." She said, "Now if only you would wear a maid's outfit…" She started to get a dreamy expression on her face, but not two seconds after it started, Raisochi had walked up to Jounai and whispered something in her ear.

Instantly, Jounai got a terrified look in her eyes and started looking around the room, as if someone was hiding in it. "No! Where are you Kaji! You know you're not allowed to have toothpaste! I WILL END YOU IF YOU RUIN MY DRESS AGAIN!"

Hinata walked over to Naruto, who was sweat dropping at the scene in front of him. "D-Do you think that th-they're always l-like this?" She asked hesitantly.

"I don't think I want to know the answer to that question." Naruto said, gulping.

Eventually, Jounai calmed down and turned to face Naruto, who gulped. "Hey!" She said, grinning, "I don't think we've actually met before. I'm Jounai, the Emotion demigod!" She leaned down close to Naruto with a sly look on her face, "But you can call me Jounai-chan."

Instantly, Naruto froze and did a wonderful Hinata impersonation as Jounai started laughing. "Don't worry, I'm just kidding." Jounai said, "You're a little too young for me." She turned around and winked at Hinata, who recognized what the demigod was trying to say: If Naruto was only going to get better looking, Hinata was going to have some competition. Hinata narrowed her eyes. She wasn't going to let anyone else take her Naruto-kun.

Raisochi cleared his throat. "As fun as this is, I think that we have some business to attend to." He said, walking over to the couches. The others sobered up and followed him.

Jounai and Raisochi sat on one side while Naruto and Hinata sat on the other. "Now, you both know who we are, correct?" Raisochi said. Naruto and Hinata nodded. "Good. Now, we have been observing you two for this time that we have known each other, and we think that you may be able to help us with something."

"Wh-What do you m-mean?" Hinata asked, puzzled, "H-Help you w-with what?"

"Yeah, I mean sure I agreed to this damn training, but I'm not signing up for anything else unless if I know exactly what the hell is going on!" Naruto said, crossing his arms.

Raisochi and Jounai looked at each other and nodded. "And so you shall." Raisochi said. "Jounai, if you please."

Jounai nodded. "Now listen closely kids, because we're only going into detail with this once, got it?" The two adolescents nodded. "Good. Now, as you know, Raisochi and I helped shape the world as it is today. As you know, Assarishita, Sunpouto, and Matoki created us from their own power. You know that we helped seal Kurayami. You know that the gods sealed our power. However, what you don't know is what happened next."

"What do you mean what happened next?" Naruto asked, puzzled, "You mean there's more to the story than what you've told us?!"

Raisochi nodded. "Yes, Naruto. There is much more. However, since we are limited on time, we will only tell you two the basics for now. I'm sorry, but we can do into specifics at a later date." Naruto and Hinata nodded solemnly.

Raisochi sighed and began. "You see, soon after we sealed Kurayami, and the world was turned light, in truth the gods were relieved, impressed, and happy. We were only demigods, but we had done a god-level task. They were so impressed that they offered to make us angels, which are the servants of the gods. In doing so, our power would be greatly increased, and we would be able to do as we liked as long as we carried out whatever orders the gods gave us."

"D-Did you accept?" Hinata asked.

Jounai nodded. "Yes. We accepted, and became angels." She said, "We remained angels for many of thousands of years, until that day." She clenched her fists and started shaking slightly.

Raisochi sighed and turned to Naruto and Hinata. "I'm sorry about her. You see, what happened that day affected her greatly."

"What happened?" Naruto asked, solemn for once.

Raisochi sighed. "It started out as a normal day, or at least as normal as it could be for us…"

-The Heavens, 3,478 Years Ago-

Raisochi was in a very good mood. He had just stabilized a new world, and was finally returning to the heavens after a good fifty years. He walked over to a clearing, and took out a golden rock with a purple lightning bolt on it. He channeled some of his energy into it, causing a multicolored portal to appear in front of him. Smiling, he walked through the portal, which closed instantly.

Inside the portal was a random jumble of colors and other things that made absolutely no sense. No matter how much he used the portal, it always managed to disorient him. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light, and Raisochi activated his golden on the bottom and purple on the top wings just as the portal disappeared around him, leaving him floating in a bright blue sty surrounded by magnificent palaces floating on golden clouds.

He flew slowly in a familiar direction, letting the sweet air ruffle his hair and feathers. He loved flying with a passion, although he would never admit that he loved anything to any of his siblings. They would never leave him alone.

Spying his master's palace, he flew down into the courtyard and deactivated his wings. As soon as he regained his bearings, he felt something…off. Narrowing his eyes, he walked into the palace of his family's master and looked around. Seeing nothing, he was about to go into the kitchen to grab some food when he heard a high pitched scream coming from the floors above.

"Jounai!" Raisochi yelled, quickly changing directions and running up the stairs. He arrived at Jounai's room and opened the door. He almost blew up in anger at what he saw inside.

His master was walking towards Jounai with a grin on his face. However, Jounai's dress was off and she was floating off the ground in a manner that suggested that the god was using his powers to anchor her there. She had a cloth around her neck, which she had probably spit out in order to scream. She saw Raisochi and her eyes widened briefly. However, this was enough for their master to notice and he turned around slowly. Upon seeing Raisochi, he let out a howl of rage and ran at the storm master, who dodged and fired a powerful lightning bolt at him.

Raisochi turned to Jounai and undid the magic. "That won't hold him for long." He said, grabbing her hand, "We need to get out of here." Jounai nodded and they jumped out of the window across from them, quickly unfurling their wings and speeding away. Raisochi sent a mental message to everyone in his family to get out of the house instantly.

However, they had not gone more than a few hundred meters when they felt their master's energy spike. Suddenly, they heard an inhuman roar and the palace was obliterated into millions of pieces. Raisochi felt a cold hand grip his heart, but that feeling quickly went away as he saw the rest of his family flying out from the wreckage.

As they flew, Assarishita flew up beside Raisochi. "What happened?" She said softly. Raisochi respected the leader of his family for many things, but a major one was the fact that she almost never lost her head.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Raisochi answered her. "Bororio was trying to rape Jounai." He said over the wind, which was picking up speed quickly, "I stepped in, and you can see what happened next." He gestured to the wreckage, over which a giant ball of pressurized wind was forming.

Assarishita nodded and gestured for Sunpouto and Matoki to come over. After explaining the situation, the Spatial Master and the Mistress of Time exchanged grim looks. "We have to leave the Heavens!" Sunpouto yelled, "Who knows what they will do to us if we stay!"

"I agree with Sunpouto!" Yelled Matoki, "We should return to our world, and formulate a plan there!"

Assarishita nodded before her eyes widened. "Everyone, drop!" She yelled over the wind. The demigods did so just as a highly pressurized ball of wind shot where they had been less than a second ago.

"I'm opening the portal!" Assarishita yelled, taking out her clear, golden portal stone. She opened the portal, and motioned for everyone to go through it. One by one, the demigods left the heavens, and, with a sad glance backwards, Assarishita followed them.

-Day after the bell test-

Naruto and Hinata were sitting in shocked silence at the story. Hinata looked like she was about to cry, while Naruto was just looking forward with a blank look on his face. Jounai was holding back tears at the reminder, while Raisochi was looking at her sadly.

Hinata was the first to speak. "I-I'm sorry, Jounai-san." She said, not looking at the Emotion demigod.

Jounai looked up and smiled weakly. "Nah, its fine." She said, not fooling anyone, "I'm pretty much over it. I mean, it was a looooong time ago."

"That's a lie and you know it." Raisochi said, "We both know that you were severely scarred by that incident, so stop trying to deny it already. It's been 3,478 years. Maybe it's time that you should try to move past this."

Jounai quickly turned around and glared at Raisochi with tears in her eyes. "What do you think I've been trying to do for all these years brother?!" She hissed, "Having fantasies about our old master?!"

Sensing that they were viewing a private argument, Naruto and Hinata looked down at their feet and stayed quiet. However, Raisochi and Jounai noticed this. "Great, we just met face to face for the first time in over a hundred and fifty years and we're already arguing." Jounai groaned, "Plus now we made the kidgets feel bad. Good job, Raisochi."

Sensing that Jounai was offering a truce, as well as telling him to save it until they could talk in private, he attempted a smile. "Yes, that's right, blame it all on the man in the house. He's always doing something wrong, while the woman always is in the right. He's the one who stole all of the cookies out of Matoki's cookie jar when we were young, not the evil little scheming…"

Hinata, Naruto, and Jounai all sweat dropped at the increasingly dark rants that were coming out of Raisochi's mouth about cookie jars and how his backside was never the same skin tone again.

"Clearing her throat, Jounai decided to continue. "Okay, now you're probably wondering as to how this is related to what we need your help with, right?" The two preteens nodded slowly, "I thought so. Now, after…that happened, we came to this world and hunkered down for a good few decades. Eventually, we sent Shinigami to the Heavens to find out what the hell was going on. He was the least well-known out of all of us, as well as the best at stealth."

Jounai's expression darkened. "However, he took way too long to come back." She said, "And when he finally did, it was with four other gods, including our old master, and about twenty other angels. He had become a god himself as well. However, that wasn't the worst of it. Standing next to my…brother was none other than Kurayami himself, and trailing behind the angels was an army of demons."

Naruto and Hinata looked at Jounai with wide eyes. "But I thought that the gods hated the demons!" Naruto half-shouted, "Why would they team up with them?!"

Raisochi, who had recovered from his cookie flashback, spoke up. "Because these gods were exiled." He said, "Our old master had been exiled from the heavens and stripped of most of his power for what he did. However, three of his friends went after him, and slowly nursed him back to his full power. When we sent Shinigami over to the Heavens, we can only assume that he met up with them on the way, and they made him a god in exchange for our whereabouts. He was always one who desired more power."

Hinata was thinking hard. "Th-then, did Shinigami tell them how to open the seal on Kurayami?" She asked.

Despite the solemn atmosphere, Jounai couldn't help but smile at her host. "Smart girl." She said, reaching over and mussing the girl's hair. "That is exactly what we think happened. However, that is beside the point. We talked for a little, but it ended in a battle. It took over a thousand years for the crater that we made to disappear. You see, even though we fought our hardest, we were still no match for five gods, twenty angels, Kurayami, and an army of demons."

"After we lost, they were contemplating on eradicating our very beings, as that is the only way to kill beings like us." Raisochi picked up, "But in the end, they decided on splitting our souls into thirds, ironically enough. However, Assarishita, Matoki, and Sunpouto were treated differently. They were each sealed into sacred jewels, and each jewel was placed inside of a different temple. The temples are on this world, but each one is extremely difficult to get to, let alone get to the jewel. One is at the bottom of the ocean, one is in the sky, and one is in this world's Hell. Each one is guarded by a demon lord, with Kurayami guarding the one that is holding Assarishita."

Jounai decided to speak up. "We think that Sunpouto is inside of the temple in the sky, Matoki is inside of the temple under the ocean, and that Assarishita is in the temple in Hell. This is a good portion of the information we've gathered throughout the years, so use it wisely."

Naruto and Hinata looked at each other. "I get what you're saying," Naruto said slowly, "But what are we using the information for? What do you want us to do?"

Raisochi and Jounai looked at each other. "We need you to help us free the Elder Trio." They said simultaneously.

-Present Day-

Hinata sighed. It certainly was a strange talk. Since then, neither them nor their demigods had spoken about it again, but Jounai had hinted that she was going to start a new training program for the girl that would help her get stronger very quickly.

Looking over at her crush, who was still in ramen withdrawal, she sighed again.

Why did it always have to be her?

A/N: Wow! This was a pretty good chapter, if I do say so myself. I'm sorry if I focused a bit too much on my OCs, but they are what makes this story different from canon, so I have to focus on them at times.

Okay, so the reason why I'm so late is because I had to take my high school sophomore finals, and was studying my ass off for them. It paid off too, because my lowest score was an 88. Woot! However, since it's summer time now, I'm planning on trying to update twice a week, on Saturday and on Wednesday. I don't know if I'm going to be able to follow that schedule all of the time, but I'm going to try.

Also, I would appreciate it if you guys could draw some pics for my characters. I'm going to try to post descriptions on my profile today, but my dad is having surgery, so I don't know if I'll be able to. If you guys make some art, just put a link in either a PM or a review. Thanks.

So, now for the questions for the chapter. Here they are:

What is the name of the demigods' old master?

Where are the three temples located?

How long ago did the issue with the demigods and the gods begin?

What is the meaning of the title of this story? (Optional, if you answer it, you get to have two omakes and the ability to create three cameos.)

Okay, that's it. Remember, review if you like this story! As of today, 83 people have followed this story, while 43 have favorited it. I would love to know what you guys think. Triforcelord, out!
