Hello anyone who is reading this is my first story ever and just an idea that I had floating in my head and I finally decided to follow through and write it. If you have any helpful feedback based on this chapter I would greatly appreciate it but please no flames theres no reason to be a dick to a new or seasoned writer just be constructive and helpful.

I don't own Naruto, High School DxD or Vampire Hunter Danything as characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto, Hideyuki Kikuchi and Ichiei Ishibumi respectively.

It was a cool spring night in a remote forest, the sky was enwrapped in a dark blue color with beautiful stars spread across the darkened night sky. The wind was flowing calmly and the leaves on the trees were swaying back and forth in all their beautiful color especially the beautiful attention stealing pink of a Sakura tree, that provided a beautiful contrast with the dark sky. The moonlight was illuminating the world elegantly touching all that was within her grasp with a gentle shine and an elegant touch.

"The Moon is beautiful, shining upon the world as if it were the sun, but much more peaceful then the sun itself." said a smooth voice, belonging to a man staring up at the moon.

Standing at a height of 6'4 was a man that looked to be 18 years of age lightly-tanned complexion, as if he were made from fire itself, with tamed spiky goldish-white hair reaching down to the middle of his back, with streaks of scarlet shot throughout his hair. The beautiful silky hair was slightly parted with two chest length bangs that fell all over his marble-sculpted face, covering parts of his sharp eyes but through the thin strands of golden-thread like hair his magnificent eyes could be seen.

His eyes were sharp and beautiful but they were also wild. The most prominent color within his eyes was azure blue much like the sky on a clear day, with bits of golden amber and vermillion red seen throughout the eyes such eyes seemed other worldly truly beautiful gems.

Draped over the man's broad shoulders was a tattered jet black ankle-length traveler's cloak that fluttered with the slightest movements and was fastened onto his left shoulder by a button. He wore a long flowing black kimono that split apart at the waist and reached down to his knees. A long flowing black sash with red and gold tips was worn around his waist that looked to be from Asian influence, distinctively Chinese. Inside of his sleeves up to the middle of his forearm were a pair of black arm guards protecting the back of his hands. Completing the man's look were a pair midnight black trousers tucked into black combat boots.

Suddenly, the man turned his head to the right noticing someone coming towards his position. Slowly the man became on guard and spread his senses to gauge whom exactly was encroaching upon him in his time of quiet and lackadaisical pondering of life. He was amazed by the level of power that he felt from the being approaching him it was honestly astonishing to feel such power but the being approaching felt weakened to the young man's senses. From the dark of the forest a man appeared but suddenly the man fell into the side of a tree barely able to keep himself standing.

God the almighty father of all angels and demons, the benevolent protector and lover of all humanity. The symbol of wisdom, love, peace, compassion and the guide to the way for all to live their lives. God was an enigmatic figure in the reality of the world, to be a being that preached for love and peace among all yet more blood has been spilled in the name of his word. Such things truly stayed in the mind of the almighty father and his speculation on the understanding of humanity and their devotions to him.

The man seemed to be in his early too mid 40s with long wavy black hair reaching to the middle of his back with the signs of facial hair appearing upon his gorgeous chiseled face. His beautiful eyes seemed to constantly change colors according to the spectrum of the infinite color wheel. Truly other worldly, such eyes were befitting one of divinity; those beautiful eyes were dulled and slowly losing the normal vibrancy and love they usually held. Wearing white and golden robes that many would see on a priest were slashed up with parts of his body dripping ichor onto the forest floor; God stumbled into an unknown forest and suddenly fell into a tree and decided to rest on the tree watching the numerous number of flowers being born from his divine blood.

'Even this close to death and I still bring life into this world' thought God with a small pain-filled chuckle.

You see, God had just previously finished sealing the apocalyptic beast known as Trihexa, using most of his immense power to completely seal the beast. In succession, God went on the battlefield and confronted the four Satans in battle and fought tooth and nail to defeat them with the amount of power that he still held. After the long grueling battle, God finally defeated and sadly killed all four Satans, When God looked upon the bodies of those that he still saw as his children it broke the divine father's heart, especially when he dealt the final blow on his favorite child Lucifer.

It was because of his stubbornness and his sadly admitted pride that the world has come to where it is now and it broke God's heart to know that he had to kill his own beloved children because he was to prideful to take a step back and look at how his children were acting and their own feelings towards the world. Soon enough he was joined by his right hand and most loyal follower Michael.

Looking upon one of his first creations brought tears to the Divine's eyes as he looked upon Michael's handsome face and in his eyes, he could see the pain and anguish in those gorgeous emerald eyes. Such a sight was almost too much for God to bear especially considering the physical decay along with the mental and emotional fatigue God was feeling from sealing away that monstrous being and from fighting the 4 Satans.

Michael offered to heal him but God shunned that idea as futile he knew his end was near he could feel the grips of death on his being, it was humbling. God looked to Michael and beckoned him closer and kissed his beloved son on his forehead and with a smile God disappeared leaving a stunned and tearful Michael to explain everything that occurred on this day to the approaching army of angels led by his fellow Seraph angels.

God flashed away from his angels after the many battles and sealing, he didn't want his children and soldiers to see him so weak, so defeated even thinking about it now almost brought a tear to his eyes. It was disheartening for God, he did not want to leave the world that he loved, this world was his passion he was connected to everything and everyone in this world.

As God was lost in his thoughts he didn't hear the crunch of grass being walked upon nor the tell-tale signs of someone walking towards him.

"You alright sir?" Startled by the sudden voice God looked around quickly checking to find where that voice came from. Suddenly he came upon a tanned blond haired young man with an immense amount of power inside his body. He looked the young man in his eyes and couldn't help but marvel at the boy before him, he was truly something to look at, his silken hair, his posture and body language and the way the moonlight seemed to be drawn to the boy as if the boy was calling the moon towards him giving him a radiant glow. God was reminded a bit of his oldest friend by staring at the young one. Shaking his head slowly the divine looked to the young man and responded.

"I'm sorry son, did you say something?" Questioned the Divine Creator.

"I asked if you were alright old man." Repeated the young man again in a calm tone, seeing as how the man sitting before him was close to death he felt it was understandable for the man not to be very focused on his question.

God looked at the young man and painfully smiled, "The legacy of both a Phoenix and a Dragon I never thought I'd see such a union take form, but to answer your question no I am not."

An eyebrow rose slowly in what could be considered surprise and interest within the eyes of the newly revealed Phoenix Dragon. It was surprising for this man to speak of his lineage so easily like that as if he were speaking of the weather, usually when someone speaks of Dragons and Phoenixes it is either in amazement, wonder or fear, dependent upon which creature you speak of. The man seated before him spoke of the young man's lineage as if it was no concern to him.

"Well this is quite interesting, I never imagined my first meeting with God would be with you bleeding and on the verge of meeting death." Spoke Naruto in a calm tone looking at God as if speaking of the deity's current condition was of no concern to him, which if he was being honest it really wasn't much of his concern.

Keeping his smile in place God looked at the young man and spoke, "I see you know who it is that I am but I am unaware of who exactly you are, might I ask what is your name young one?" Questioned the divine with obvious curiosity racing in his eyes while completely ignoring the obvious parts of the young man's statement.

"My name is Naruto." Replied the newly named Naruto.

"Naruto, it is nice to meet you it would seem that you are one of the final people that I will have the pleasure of meeting as you alluded to before. My time is slowly coming to an end. What is it that brings you to this forest so late with in the night?" Question God looking at Naruto

Naruto looked at him for a moment and turned back to looking at the moon and spoke, "I was coming out here to enjoy the view of the full moon and to gain some quiet away from the noise of the world. But that peace has been disturbed it seems I must find somewhere else to gain some peace." Just as Naruto said that he prepared to leave from the area

"Wait, don't leave, please these are my final moments." Spoke the divine in a sad tone while looking at the sky.

Naruto stopped his sudden departure and turned to God and spoke, "Why?"

God stayed silent for a moment simply staring at the sky looking at as if it held all that desired, eventually he averted his gaze from the sky and turned his infinitely colored eyes onto Naruto and spoke. "Let me answer your question with a question. If you were close to death knowing that all that awaits you is nothing but emptiness would you want to be alone right now?" God questioned calmly to the young man.

Naruto hearing the question couldn't help but understand God's point, but his curiosity became intrigued, "What do you mean 'emptiness'?"

Hearing the question God spoke "When humans die, the religion that they have chosen to follow and to pattern their life after promises them an afterlife of some sort. Whether it is pleasant or painful is up to the will of the gods of that religion. Even humans who are supernaturally aware go to the specific afterlife designed for them based upon the religion that they follow." Paused God for a moment to collect his thoughts, he spoke once more.

"But for supernatural beings such as Gods, devils, angels, dragons, and so on when we die there is no afterlife. There isn't a place for us to look forward to at the end of our days, we live what is known as a 'finite' life. Our lifespan may be vast, it may span centuries, millenniums and even further beyond, but no matter what we will always face an end and when that end comes we do not receive an afterlife all we get is eternal silence. That is what I mean by emptiness." Finished God while looking at Naruto.

Hearing that explanation made Naruto a bit contemplative as he never truly thought of the outcomes of his death and what it would mean to him, when his time came how would he truly feel looking back on his life would he be proud of what he accomplished? What was it that he even desired to accomplish in this world? What was his purpose in the world? He was startled from his inner thoughts as he heard God speak once more.

"Do not think too far ahead young one, in this world no matter what it is that you are all of us are the same in many ways. When you think too far ahead into the future such as in terms of your death you will have an overwhelming feeling of pressure to accomplish everything you want in life. This overwhelming pressure won't be good for you as you will struggle to do everything you can to accomplish what you want in short period of time, and once that happens you will neglect what is the most important to you. It was a mistake that I made and that foolish mistake was the cause of this war and the reason for which so many of my children have died and the reason for my current state. All for my mistakes and in my own lapse of judgement." Guilt and shame were prevalent in the words of the Divine father

"Heh, if Odin could see me now he would mock me." Finished God, but he asked a question a moment later.

"Are you a warrior, Naruto?"

"Yes, I was taught how to use power to protect the people that I care for in this world." Naruto hesitated for a second and spoke once more "Even though they no longer walk this world with me." Finished Naruto in a whisper.

God suppressed a cough from escaping his chest as he listened to Naruto's words but he did catch on to something in his words and in the eyes of the young one.

"Who were they that you lost, if you don't mind an old man prying." Spoke God in a calm tone while looking at Naruto.

Naruto looked at God and spoke in a somber tone, "That is something I would prefer not to speak of, old wounds don't need to be reopened."

God looked at the young one and responded, "I understand my boy."

*Cough*, *Cough*

Naruto looked at God and saw him coughing up large of amounts of ichor and decided to try to help him straighten up his body. God gave Naruto an appreciative nod and slowly sat up, 'It seems my time has come.'

Just as that thought went through the divine's head a cool chill swept through the forest and all the quiet peaceful sounds of the forest seemed to stop, confusing Naruto who now was put on high alert with the sudden shift in the atmosphere. Naruto looked around checking his surroundings trying to expand his senses to the farthest of their current abilities looking for a sign as to the sudden shift.

He looked to God to ask him but when he looked at the passing deity he saw his gaze directed toward something in the forest.

The sound of hooves hitting the ground alerted Naruto to the newest presence joining the conversation.

Naruto looked over to where the sound of hooves hitting the ground originated and he came upon the form of a pale white horse with a pair of horns sticking out of its head with a pair of sinister glowing red eyes staring at Naruto looking to devour everything in their path.

But what truly caught Naruto's eyes was the man riding on top of the horse. The man was tall, even while sitting on the horse Naruto could tell the man was tall, with wavy jet black hair that fell to the middle of the mysterious figure's back. He was wearing a black wide brimmed traveler's hat on his head.

Covering the body of the unknown man was a long black cape and a blue pendant was worn on the chest of the man. The mysterious figure wore a black skin tight bodysuit that showed off the lean and muscular figure, built as the perfect balance of speed and power. Around the waist of the figure was a combat belt equipped with many different sections for holding different materials needed in the heat of battle. The man wore high boots with silver riding spurs on the back of his heal. On the back of the man was a longsword's sheath that was as tall as the man himself.

Naruto was amazed into silence when he felt the aura of this being, it was like staring at an unstoppable force of nature. As Naruto continued to stare, the mysterious figure raised his head and slowly Naruto could see the face of the man. The man looked to be about the same age as Naruto himself with a complexion that Naruto familiarized with milk, upon further inspection he saw that the new comer had thick masculine eyebrows, a smooth bridge of a nose, with long thin cold dark eyes that shined with millenniums of experience and knowledge in his eyes.

"So, you have finally come for me old friend."

Startling Naruto from his admiration and fear induced staring, he looked at God in confusion trying to understand the relationship that these two men shared.

The mysterious man spoke in a low, smooth voice. The voice reminded Naruto of the finest silks. "Yes I have, are your affairs in order?"

God looked at his oldest friend and smiled calmly. "Michael knows my time has drawn near he will probably keep it hidden from all except for his fellow seraphs, he shall lead Heaven in my stead. Might I have a few more minutes to speak with the young one that has kept me company in my final moments?"

Hearing the request did not surprise the man in black, he was expecting such a request just from the look he saw in God's eyes so he allowed the request and waited in silence. With an appreciative nod, God turned his head towards Naruto and spoke. "Naruto."

Naruto turned his head toward the dying deity with a measurable amount of difficulty as being in the presence of the newly arrived man was quite suffocating for the young dragon.

It was something Naruto only experienced once in his life when he asked his father to unleash his true power so Naruto can have something to reach to and the fear that he felt that day was something that would always stay with him.

"Have no fear of him young one, death is not someone to fear." Spoke God in a fatherly tone.

Seeing Naruto relaxed God spoke once more, "Naruto, I see great things in your future you will be a force in this world and when the day comes you will be the one to change our world and all the others. But you must remember something; "When one walks the path of power they become lost in its loving embrace and its silken touch." This was wisdom gifted from ages of existence and pondering of the very core of the metaphysical.

"You see, power is a gifted curse, it is something that everyone desires because it is needed in life. That is, it's gift, all that you could desire shall be in your possession if you have power. Its curse is the struggles that come with the power you achieved. In life, powerful creatures whether they be human, divine, demonic or other they are tempted by the gift of power and believe that gift to be a pass to do as they wish no matter if it harms others or the world. Always remember, a wielder of true power uses their power to protect what is precious to them. Find what is precious to you and protect it with everything you have no matter what." Finished God in a serious tone while looking at Naruto who could only nod at those words. Those words brought up nostalgic feelings for Naruto as he remembered the words his mother used to tell him during his days of training with his father.

Naruto nodded his head in confirmation understanding the lesson he was gifted, God saw this and turned his gaze towards the now waiting death. Death slowly walked towards both supernatural beings after God finished delivering the message that he desired, Death spoke

"Its time, my old friend."

Smiling hearing the words God nodded contently accepting his fate he slowly stood up with the help of Naruto and spoke with a chuckle.

"You always did say that you would come for me one day, D." Spoke God with a calm smirk on his face as he addressed death. Hearing the name addressed to him D looked at God and did something that only God ever had the privilege to witness on more than one occasion, a ghost of a smile. Death couldn't help but feel a hint of sadness knowing that the one person that has been around since the early days was leaving this world, it reminded him that nothing would last forever, even him.

Death's appearance returned to its normal stoic visage as his vision changed and focused on Naruto who still looked to be afraid in his presence but he seemed to gain security little by little the longer he stayed around him. 'Hmm, seems the young dragon bears some promise, he will do nicely.' seeing this the man in black looked the boy in the eyes for a couple of seconds and spoke.

"You will come as well."

After hearing those words both God and Naruto had differing reactions, Naruto's reaction was that of confusion and apprehension hearing from the being recently identified to be death that you will be coming with him as he is in the middle of reaping someone instinctually brings a level of apprehension in your heart. Slowly Naruto's body tensed after hearing those words he wasn't ready to die and damn sure wasn't going to make it easy to take him either.

As Naruto was tensing and preparing himself for the possibility of fighting Death, God on the other hand had surprise and curiosity written all in his eyes as he looked to his friend.

"Why are you bringing him with us?" Questioned God in calm curiosity wondering what his old friend was thinking.

D looked back to God and spoke, "This child is someone of worth and interest to me, he possesses a will to stand against all odds that may appear before him, seeing as how he prepared to fight me after I told him of my decision even if deep in his soul he knows that to battle with death is as foolish as believing that the sun no longer exists simply because you close your eyes. Besides the offspring of a Phoenix and a Dragon, that sounds like the perfect pupil." Finished Death in a calm tone while looking at God.

Naruto couldn't believe his ears, Death the being that struck fear in all who walked the world desired him as his pupil it was honestly something that he never in his wildest of dreams thought would ever happen.

God looked at D with realization passing through his eyes and looked at Naruto out of the corner of his eye, God could understand his friend's thought process completely God himself wouldn't have minded taking Naruto as a student if they met on different circumstances.

With his intentions now known, D placed his hand in front of Naruto's face and soon Naruto saw something that completely confused the shit out of him from Death's hand was a face that had a sickening smile with eyes pure black that looked to eat anything they desired slowly the face opened his eyes wide and Naruto couldn't help the sudden feeling of tiredness that washed over him and he fell off to sleep.

"Why do you really desire to bring him with us D?" Questioned God looking at Naruto who just ungracefully face-planted on the forest floor. Suddenly the face that stared upon Naruto spoke in an aged voice that's seemed to speak with millenniums worth of knowledge and whimsy.

"Oh, D is bringing the young hatchling along because this boy is the lineage of the Dragon that brought the world to heel all those years ago and the Phoenix that saved all you young deities from dying that day. You remember don't you D? All the Pantheons coming together and standing against that ancient dragon fighting in vain, the helplessness that permeated throughout that day was so delicious. What was that dragon's name again? Do you remember it D? Ah well it doesn't matter, that dragon's name seems to be lost to time now."

God looked towards the newest participant of this meeting and couldn't help but chuckle albeit a bit painfully as he remembered Death's associate. God looked to D with amusement rolling off his person as he could tell even with Death's stoic demeanor he knew that the parasite always seemed to annoy his friend. Suddenly D grabbed Naruto and threw him onto the back of his pale steed and placed his hand upon God's shoulder.

With a resigned look in his eyes God smiled one final sad smile as the thoughts of all that will be gone reached his mind and he couldn't help letting some tears flow. His followers, his angels, his family, even the devils that opposed him he loved them all and didn't want to leave it all behind. But, unfortunately, even God was powerless in the grasp of Death. Suddenly the area was enwrapped in a bright light and for an instant the entire world and all its occupants felt an immense warmth wash over them a warmth that couldn't be described, but in an instant that warmth vanished leaving the world to feel a bit hollow.
