Those Who Stand Eternal Watch

Chapter 1

Those Left Behind

Location Unknown, Japan

A young girl with long black hair wearing a torn, dirty and worn Yukata ran down the alley, behind her an inhumanly beautiful being was chasing her.

She had tried to evade him, but being only six years old she did not possess the knowledge or skills to do so.

All she could do was run, and run she did.

But it was not to be, she took a sharp turn into another alley and there before here was a wall, she had run into a dead end.

Behind her the being ran into the dead end alley and smirked "End of the line, now you will pay for your father's sins girl" In the being's right hand a silvery blue spear of light formed, it raised it's right arm to strike and the girl closed her eyes.

THUD

The girl was confused, why was there no pain? She opened her eyes to see the inhumanly beautiful being gaping with another spear of light, this one orange, piercing it's chest.

The being slowly but surely began to dissolve and behind it was another inhuman being. The other being had long blond hair and sapphire blue eyes, he looked down at the ashes of the first being and said "Madriel, you fool, the Sins of the Father are not the sins of the child. But then again, you would know more then me abut that, after all you Fell when I didn't"

The new being looked up from Madriel's ashes and smiled at the young girl "Hello Akeno-chan, it's been a long time since I've seen you, you've grown"

The girl, Akeno, gasped in surprise "W-who are you? How do you know me?"

The being laughed in amusement "Oh Akeno-chan, have you forgotten me already? You used to pull on my hair when you were a baby, but you wanted to know who I am. I am a friend of your father's, my name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto. But you might know me as Sandalphon" From behind the now named Angel came twelve wings, but unlike a normal Angel's, they weren't the snow white of a Heavenly Angel, nor where they the pitch black of a Fallen. Instead they were a shimmering gold with silver and bronze highlights. At the apex of each wing where they bend shards of ancient looking armor can be seen, They range the gambit of cultures with Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Norse, Feudal Japanese, Chinese and even what looks like futuristic robotic armor on one wing.

Naruto chuckles at Akeno's look of surprise and shock "My wings are unique aren't they?" He muttered and then in a louder voice he said "Come on Akeno-chan, we have places to be, after all it is your seventh birthday today isn't it?"

Akeno just nodded numbly, she had been so preoccupied with surviving on the streets and escaping the Fallen Angel she had forgotten her birthday.

Naruto smiled and held out an orange ribbon to Akeno "I don't have anything else to give you, but at the very least, here is my present for you. This is something I've held onto for… a very long time" Akeno slowly reached out and took the orange ribbon from Naruto, who smiled and then without warning grabbed her and pulled her into his arms "Come on Akeno-chan, let's go to your new home" and with that Naruto spread his wings leaned forward and launched to the east at speeds no other being could match.

Chapter 2

Those Who Return

Kuoh Academy, nine years later.

It had been an interesting nine years for Akeno, she had meet the younger sister of a Maou, became said sister's queen, traveled all over the world and underworld and throughout it all had been searching.

You see, six months after rescuing her Naruto had gone away on some mission… and never returned. Soon afterwards Sirzechs Lucifer had appeared, he said that Naruto had left him some instructions and he would look after her.

Sirzechs looked faintly nervous when he said this… either he was terrified of Naruto and/or whatever Naruto was holding over him… or he was keeping her or Naruto's existence and/or location from someone else. Akeno thought it was the second one, but she still wasn't sure.

After that had been a whirlwind blur of events and interesting meetings, that lead her to here. Third-year classes in Kuoh Academy, Akeno sighed as she thought of her lost Onii-san, she'd only known him for six months, but she treasured those six months she spent with the strange Angel. He'd never judged her by her wings and had even spent one memorable day teaching her to fly and afterwards slowly combing her wings to get rid of the branches and twigs from a crash landing.

She missed that, the warmth and security that Naruto Onii-san just seemed to emanate whenever he was close by. It was different to an Angel's aura in that it was less impersonal. Angels were caring because the God of the Bible made them so, Naruto was caring because he just was. That made such a difference.

Akeno mused back to some of the thins he said

'I wasn't always an Angel Akeno, I was once just an ordinary human. Don't listen to those foolish Fallen who put you down because they think you are inferior. You aren't, you managed to get something very important from your mother, her humanity. That is something more valuable then all the precious metals and gems in creation, so treasure it, like I have.'

Akeno smiled softly, she had been crying after hearing a couple of (now dead) Fallen taunt her for being part human. She blinked once and slowly drifted into another memory.

'Why are humans so unique? That is an interesting question Akeno, God or Jiji as I like to call him, once told me that humanity was unique, when he created this world he was happy, for a time, he soon grew tired of all beings following his orders exactly, he wanted one species to rise and say no. But none did. Then in a stroke of ingenuity he created 'Free Will' and asked all the beings in existence "Who among you will take this blessed curse?"

The Angels refused by saying "We are your holy messengers, we cannot take this blessed curse for who would spread your word?"

The Wolves refused by saying "We are bound together by pack, this blessed curse would break that"

And one by one every being or species in creation refused, until God came to Humanity, they had already once gone against his word about the Tree of Knowledge
