Prologue

The Beginning of it All

-Present Day South-East near the Bahamas-

It was a night worth seeing when one soars above the clouds at night. Where the stars were at its brightest and the ocean below reflected the moon above. Lieutenant Leon Carter of the US Navy however did not see the wonders of this night, only tranquil as he finally escapes from an unfavourable event back at the base he is stationed at. It was Independence Day for his country he serves, and this day should be celebrated with pride being the soldier he is. However the day could not inspire him to go out and party like his fellow soldiers and superiors, not when he is haunted by a traumatizing past that held on this day about twenty years back. Instead he flew on his F-106 Delta Dart above the seas just North-West of Puerto Rico without his superior's permission. He knew he will get scolded when he gets back, but he needed something to get his mind away from the festivities of the day. He even turned off the radio to cut off communication with Base. Flying was just the right medicine, and he was savouring every minute of it.


-Hell-

"What a shame brother. You, a Demon Lord, could not even get your hands on this delectable holy being."

"Silence Asmodeus. I can get any woman I want; I merely cannot stomach the thought of touching such purity."

"Ah but you are Mammon, a powerful Lord. Surely even touching THIS..."

"Ah!"

"... is enough to entice and satisfy your unwavering need."

"..."

"Or are you merely a coward whose pride is but a lie."

"You dare mock me, Belphegor? I can singe you as quickly as you spat useless words."

"Then I dare you wed a prime Goddess to show how true your pride is, Mammon. Show me you can best my twelfth wife."

"Hah! That sorry excuse of a wife who claims herself to be a Goddess of Fertility? Heh, no wonder men feared her."

"Silence! That is my wife you speak of."

"Tch, very well then. I accept your challenge."

"May my wife of luck bless you with fortune ha ha ha."

"..."


-Present Day, South near Miami, Florida-

Hours had passed since his departure and he was nearing Miami. He knew that if he were to continue in this course, and fly over Florida air space unannounced, he would be in more trouble than stealing a plane and fly around in his own volition.

He slowly turns right in an arc, turning his plane in a forty-five degree angle, and flew forward with just the Miami Beach a few miles behind him.

Leon turns his head to look at the lights decorating the shores and sighs before deciding a different route back to base, one that would surely guarantee a new adventure for him.


-Before Christ, Ancient Japan-

Amaterasu, one of the few Sun deities, was tending to her duties watching over the humans now living in her domain on Earth and blessing them with good harvest and light, when a foreign messenger from another god came barging in her work.

"I bear a message from his holy one, Sun God Ra of Egypt."

The Goddess acknowledged the messenger and could not help but gasp at the words coming from the young cherub's mouth.

In a sudden gust of blinding heat, Amaterasu was gone, along with four of her faithful servants.


-Before Christ, Ancient Egypt-

He slashed and pierce through heavy guard with ease, determined to get through that fortification that house his prize.

"Begone!" He yelled as he slashes through air and blowing away his opponents that guard the massive golden door away.

"Don't let him get through!" One of the captains of a brigade yelled.

"Protect the Venerable One!" Another yelled, causing the rest to roar in motivation as they attempt to force the intruder out of their domain by pushing the demon through the hole he just came out. If they can't beat it, might as well force it to retreat.

"Foolish souls. Away with you all!" He flaps his massive wings, bringing forth blades made out of wind slashing the guards in pieces.

As he walk on the corpses of the guards towards the door, the intruder could not help but wrinkle his nose in disgust at the futile attempt of these insect. "Demi Gods dare challenge me? Pitiful..."

When he finally reach the door and blasted his way through, he could not help but stand in awe when his eyes devoured the sight before him. Beautiful was an understatement... it was incredibly majestic.


-Western part of the North Atlantic Ocean-

The route he took was longer as expected and the only thing greeted him as he survey the area was the vast sea, the night sky decorated with stars, and the full-majestic moon. This time, he did value the poetic view.

Clouds could be rarely seen which was unusual, but being on the vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle, unusual event was the usual, which is why Leon picked this route. He needed a challenge, even if it is risky, but he had done many dangerous deeds as this one before, and he was an avid swimmer so it was good right?

Leon's pride got the better of his rational side as he flew over the Bermuda Triangle.


-Before Christ, Ancient Egypt-

Amaterasu glared at the devil before her, "This is as far as you can go, devil, leave at once before I take your life."

To make her point, she slams the butt of her spear on the ground causing a force to push everyone back. In reflex, the four servants behind her drew their weapons in preparation for a fight.

"My, how feisty. But I have no time for you; I came to seize the Goddess Isis as my wife, move aside and I may be so merciful as to spare you and your lot's lives." The devil smirked and attempted to move forward but a shot of light nearly pierce his foot, causing him to freeze and glare at the Sun Goddess.

"You dare attack me?"

"Listen well, devil. Leave now or pray to the Almighty to have me hold back. I am not so patient as to implore you, for if I have it my way, I'll have you skinned not long ago."

"Then why are you holding back? Surely you should have done so the moment I set foot in this sanctuary."

Amaterasu was silent at this. It was a request from Ra to beg the devil to leave, and since they are deities of the same domain, she agreed. But why Ra asked this, she did not know.

"Hmm... I shall take that as the reason for your cowardice." The devil smirked and attempt to move again, but was yet again nearly shot with the same attack. The devil gritted his teeth in irritation and glared at the Goddess. Oh he wanted to kill the Goddess, but somehow something inside him forbid him from doing so. He decided on killing her servants and hurt the Goddess instead.

"I as well am not graced with patience, but unlike you, I do not plead. Die for your insolence."

He flap his wings hoping that that alone is enough to shred the servants flesh and injure the Goddess, but to his surprise they stood there unscathed.

"Underestimating us is your death." Amaterasu suddenly move at lightning speed and slash her spear on the devil's mid torso. Surprised by this sudden attack, the devil did not have time to block the attack and was send sideward with his back hitting a column. The column wasn't strong enough to absorb the force and broke, causing huge pieces of the cement and rock to bury the devil.

"Arrogant monster..." Amaterasu mumbled, thinking how useless it was to bring her servants along. Ra's letter clearly implies a catastrophe in Egypt nearing Armageddon, it made her chuckle that this weak demon was the cause of this level of chaos.

She turned around and nodded to her servant, indicating their time to leave. She'll have a word with Ra for putting too much exaggerating words in his message. Behind her servant, the motherly Egyptian Goddess of magic and nature ran to them with a smile shining her face, clearly grateful for the Sun Goddess' effort in destroying the demon.

Behind her walks Apollo, another Sun God from Greece, with a smirk on his face. He clapped his hands in exaggeration and laughed "I guess my service wasn't needed."

"Hmp this demon was hardly worth our time, even a Messenger God is enough to deal with this monster. Ra was exaggerating too much."

"Ra better hope to find a worthy payment for keeping us away from our duties. Dealing with humans is already a handful." Apollo muttered.

Amaterasu agreed before being hugged childishly by the thankful Goddess. "Oh thank, your most eminent one, I cannot bear to have a devil as my consort."

Amaterasu ran her hands along the Goddess's dark hair and laughed, "No one can."

When Apollo reach the group, his smile dropped when he saw the rocks shuffled and was too late to call Amaterasu's attention.

In flash, Amaterasu was pierced along with Isis through her mid section. Unfortunately, Isis was shorter than Amaterasu and therefore was pierced in the chest killing her instantly.

"Amaterasu!" "Your Highness!" Apollo and Amaterasu's servants screamed in horror as they watch the devil they thought the Sun Goddess killed lift the pierced and surprised Sun Goddess off her feet. Blood gushing out her mouth as she held on to the bony appendage of the devil's wings, the weapon that pierced her. A pair of red flashing eyes glares at the remaining Gods with malice.

"You dare look down upon me!" The Devil roared as he threw the Goddesses' at the surprised Gods.

Immediately Apollo tended to the fallen Egyptian Goddess while the servants help their Sun Goddess up. Amaterasu looked at the Devil in surprised and gasped, "How?"

The Devil snorted and came in front of the Amaterasu with blinding speed. "I am not so weak as to be killed by your flimsy attack." He grabbed Amaterasu's throat and rose her up, clenching her as the Goddess's throat painfully constricted. One of the servants slash the Devil's arm, releasing their Goddess, and yells for her comrades turn to attack.

"Genbu!"

"Right!" The mentioned servant charged and tackled the Devil, but when they hit the floor the Devil used the momentum to push the servant off. Another servant tries to strike the Devil while his down with his axe, but the Devil was too quick and dodged the attack.

The Devil extended his wings and flap it, pushing the surrounding Gods back, and flew up high before unleashing a barrage of fire-based attack.

"Die!"

They manage to dodge the attacks, though Amaterasu had a hard time due to her injuries, but with the help of her Servants, she manages to dodge and heal herself at the same time.

"Rah!" Apollo jumps and slashes the back of the Devil, causing the opposing force to howl in pain and whip the god like a fly with his wings.

Apollo hits the hard wall "Urg!" but used it to bounce back and thrust his sword at the devil, who was too occupied on two of the servants as they use their offensive magic on the devil, and pierce his stomach. Apollo held on as the devil howl and attempts to get the god off him.

The devil roared and used the sharp point of his wings to stab Apollo from behind, but just as he was able to pierce a vital part, Amaterasu shot out from the ground and slice the devil's head off.

Without his head, the devil drops down like a plane being shot. Apollo pulled his sword out and jumps away from the devil before it touch the floor and ignite. Amaterasu whip her sword to her side, splattering blood on the floor, and sheath it. The servants compose themselves and walk towards their Goddess, looking at her with concern.

"I'm fine now." Amaterasu smiles weakly at them before putting a hand on her abdomen and gaze at Apollo walking towards her, Isis in her arms.

"We failed to accomplish our task..." Apollo gritted his teeth and looks away in shame.

Amaterasu gaze at the deceased goddess and turns around to hide her tears, "It was my fault for not dealing with the Devil properly."

"Admit it, Amaterasu, the Devil was powerful. Even you cannot defeat it alone."

Amaterasu remained silent at this and face Apollo, who studies the Sun Goddess' moves. "Give me her. Return to your domain, I shall handle the shame alone."

Apollo refuses and walks away with the fallen Goddess, "No, just like you, my pride as a Sun God does not allow me to ignore my mistake."

"Very well," Amaterasu turns around and gave her servants and order, "Seiryuu, Suzaku, Byakku, and Genbu. Return home, see to my duties until I return."

"Yes your highness." With that they disappeared, leaving no trace of their existence.

"Disappointing our brethren is something I cannot forgive myself." Apollo mumbled.

"I fear this is not the last we have seen of the devil." Amaterasu shook her head and brush a hand on the fallen Goddess' tresses.

"Then I shall defeat him... for Isis." Apollo promised as he looks forward with rage and confidence. Amaterasu merely nodded in agreement for nothing could said to ease their sadness.


-Present Day, over the Bermuda Triangle–

When Leon took off his visor and take in the fresh air he thought his cockpit would have, he took in what smells like gasoline. He looks at both his sides to check on his engines but both seem fine, but when he saw a flashing red of light on his controls, he could not help but gasp.

"Shit." He cursed and turned on his communicator.

"—ond immediately. I repeat, Base to wolf, respond immediately."

"yeah yeah, I hear you!" Leon uttered in annoyance as he starts looking around for near land or perhaps his carrier ship.

"Leon! You are to immediately return back to base. You have violated the orders of your superiors!" His superior yelled, but Leon shut it off with an order of his own.

"Then give me some damn gas then. I'm running out of fuel!"

"What!... very well, just because you're the son of the Admiral doesn't save you from the punishment you'll get later on."

"yeah yeah. Wolf to Base, requesting fuel."

"Request granted, Fuel will get there in fifteen minutes."

"Acknowledged."

Leon sighs as he looks up at the moon. His fun finally at an end.


-Sengoku Era, Japan-

"I sense a great evil coming" A monk muttered as look towards the mountains behind the forest beyond.

"If you have time to be guessing fortunes, why don't you help me wash your kids!" A woman yelled from the monk's home.

The monk sighs and walks in, "I miss the good days..."

It was a peaceful time in their home, now that the nemesis they killed eight years ago is gone for good, but something about the air told the monk that something far more menacing than the baboon-clad demon they defeated would soon wreak havoc in their peace sometime in the near future.


-Hell-

In the flaming abyss of hell, a series of ominous laughter echoes throughout the halls of their castle.

"Brother, my brother, how could you get yourself defeated by those weaklings?"

"Silence, Asmodeus, I did not expect two sun gods to be there!"

"Sun Gods! Those weaklings are weaker than insects! How could you even get yourself defeated by them!"

BAM!

"Insolent! You, who cowers himself in a pile of food, dare question my opponents? You who could not even defeat those weak demons outside! You are not worthy to question my defeat!"

"Ease yourself, Mammon, and do not harm your kin, you are not as barbaric as those humans."

"Tch..."

"It seems your quest to get your wife has failed. Even worse, you have killed your prize."

"It cannot be helped. Amaterasu was there to shield her from my sight."

"You were blinded by rage it seems..."

"Brother Lucifer, I will show you... I will show you lot that I will claim a wife that will best all your wives!"

"A daring proclamation, brother... I wish you luck."

"Do not look down upon me! I will get Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess, as my wife! I will show you all!"

"..."


-Present Day, over the Bermuda Triangle–

It has been sometime since his last call to base, and it was starting to worry him more now that fifteen minutes have passed. He had called earlier, but unfortunately none but static answered. Much to his chagrin, the alarm went off stating he has but very little gas left, and it was starting to give him a headache. He turned it off and turned the annoying warning light off.

He sighs and hopes for the little hope he has left to bring him safely back to base. He now understood his insolence and believed this must be punishment from God for being rebellious and disobedient. His belief was correct when he saw a huge storm cloud heading his way. With no fuel, he has no hope for survival.

If he manage to survive, luckily his vest bestowed him a survival kit and his favourite gun and combat knife, but of course this was useful if he landed on... land. There was no land, only the ocean as far as the eyes could see.

And for the first time since that traumatizing day, he prayed while his plane shook violently and wind tore the metal skin of his plane. He felt his plane drop and hope that he could at least have a painless death...

Oh how he was wrong. No death befalls on him... only an adventure.

Because he failed to see the glowing light from his chest.


End of Prologue

(A/N)

This is perhaps my first Inuyasha fic. I've written two a very long ago but decided on not posting it in fanfic. Years later, I rewrote, reconstruct the setting and characters, and created this! I hope you enjoy it, and if you're confused about why there are Gods of different culture appearing in one story. Just try to pretend that all the Gods from different culture are one in the same plane. Like Odin and Zeus are Kings of the Gods that represent their respective region in Earth, and they are ruled by an omnipotent God that is nameless and preferred to be called "Almighty" or "Almighty One". If you still don't get it, pretend that it's one whole big democratic system. The President is the Almighty One and the Governors of each region or state is the Kings of Gods in a certain regions. Zeus is the King of all Greek Gods and therefore rule Greece. Odin is the King of all Norse Gods and therefore controls the Scandinavian lands. Ra is the King of all Egyptian Gods and therefore controls Egypt, and so on and so forth. All Gods are under one Omnipotent God and that is the "Almighty" or "Almighty One". This applies to demons, with no Omnipotent ruler, but has Houses that are controlled by Demon Lords. Demon Lords happens to be the lord of demons of a certain culture and religion. Pretend Hell is an underground world full of mafias, yakuzas, and gangs.

Finally Demons and Gods have the abilities to travel through time. This will be explained as the story goes on.

Parings are the usual canons. InuKag, MirSan, SessRin, KogAyam, etc. There are some OCxOC parings, but that's obvious. You just need to guess who =D

This chapter may be boring to some, but please bear with it. Interesting events will happen as the story moves forward. The ratings will change due to um... alot of things. So please Review. =D
