Chapter 1

''...Haaah.. W-we can't s..stop. Just.. just a little longer nii-san.''

They continued as they ran like their lives depended on it, both struggling to keep on their feet as their legs threatened to give out from underneath them.

Small glimpses of their forms could be seen as streaks of moonlight managed to reach through the thick canopy above them, revealing that the two were mere boys.

They were similar in appearance. Both looked to be around eleven or twelve years old, had golden colored eyes and silver hair though it was worthy to note that one of them had a few red streaks running through his.

Suddenly and without a warning the silver haired boy fell to his knees, making the other one halt in his steps. ''Vali!'' He cried out is shock before he attempted to get him back to his feet.

''Naruto-nii, my legs… they hurt.'' Vali groaned out, wincing as he was pulled back up as tears began to form in the corner of his eyes.

Looking around them Naruto frowned before turning back to his brother. ''C'mon Vali, just a little further and we'll be safe.'' He pleaded as he put his arm around his shoulder to help support him.

''AAAH!'' Vali couldn't help but cry out the moment he took a single step, feeling like molten lava was being poured over his legs.

Acting quickly, a red colored gauntlet with a green jewel materialized over his forearm as he clenched his fist. ''Ddraig?'' He called with urgency.

''Yes partner?'' A voice that originated from the Gauntlet was heard.

''I'm going to need your help. Vali and I.. We, we managed to escape and are currently on the run. Something is wrong with him currently and i need your help.''

''Understood.'' The jewel on the gauntlet glowed as a sign of understanding.

[Boost!] The sound originated from the gauntlet and Naruto quickly felt his power double. [Boost!] Once more his power doubled, now it was four time as much as his before and more than enough for what he was about to do.

''Hold on nii-san.'' Naruto told Vali as he helped him get on his back. Once secured Naruto took off. His form was all but a blur in the night. He didn't know how long he ran but he just did. He ran and ran even as his legs felt like they were on fire he didn't give up as he knew this was as good as a chance they were going to get on being free.

Finally after an unknown amount of time even his stamina had limits and he crashed into the ground, ending up with a face full of grass and dirt. Groaning he moved Vali from his back before he himself rolled onto his back.

He stared up at the star filled sky as his chest heaved with each breath he took. Glancing at his brother showed he was little better off than he currently was which was understandable given that he had spent a good amount of time carrying him.

Turning his attention back towards the sky, he briefly caught sight of something flying across his vision but it was so quick he wasn't sure if it was his imagination or not.

''Nii-san, are we safe?''

''I.. i think so Vali. I didn't sense anyone following us though admittedly i was more focused on making it as far as i could.''

The two brothers laid there for some time. Neither fully realizing that they were finally free from the torment they have suffered at their father's hand.

His breathing calmed and so did his heartbeat before he slowly rose to his feet, Vali doing the same next to him.

''You alright?'' A nod came from Vali as the two stood side by side. ''Let's continue then. We should find something, a village or city soon i hope.'' Sharing a smile with his brother the two began to walk, a noticeable limp was present in Vali's steps as Naruto made sure to keep an eye on him while they moved.

It took them an hour or three, Naruto estimated for how long they walked until they spotted a city.

Throughout this they didn't let their guard down a single moment incase their father would still be looking at him. He needed to be only a small percentage like their grandfather and he would have no qualms about causing destruction to get the two of them back.

Despite that they let out a soft sigh in relief when he didn't show up as they were too weak to fight back and didn't even want to imagine what sort of punishment they would be given.

Their stomachs then growled, making them look at each other before they both searched their pockets. Smiling, both retrieved their hands with a few bills in it, enough to get something to eat at least it should be.

Minutes later the two boys were seen seated at a table with a plate of food in front of them.

The two had garnered some attention both for their hair as well as that they were two ten year olds that entered a restaurant, alone. Neither Vali or Naruto paid attention to them however, both busy filling their stomach with food.

Unknown to both of them however, a pair of violet eyes too was looking at the two of them with thinly veiled interest.

He had arrived here after one of his men that he had stationed here reported the arrival of two higher than normal energy signatures. It only took a minute or two before pinpointing the energy from inside the building he was currently in.

He was surprised when his gaze landed on young boys, both with silver hair that reminded him of a certain Devil. The fact that he could sense traces of demonic energy coming from both of the boys only added up to his suspicion.

However, he was confused as up close he could sense small traces of draconic energy coming from both of them. They weren't hybrids, or at least not in the way he was thinking of. A Sacred Gear was more likely which would make them a Devil/Human hybrid born from a human mother and a Devil father.

Seeing the two boys there he wondered why they were alone as he spotted their dirty clothes. Perhaps they ran away? It wasn't completely impossible especially if they had that blood in them which made them related to him. That man was cruel on a whole different level and would even kill his own son if he felt like it.

With those two being hybrids with Sacred Gears he could only image what kinds of pain they must've suffered.

As the two boys finished with their food he stood up before making his way over to them.

''Put it on my tab.'' He interrupted, not only getting the attention of the waitress but also both boys. He caught them both freeze and put their guard up while the waitress nodded and told him she'd bring his the tab soon before leaving.

Once she left he sat down next to the silver haired boy who moved to sit next to who he assumed was his brother.

''W-what do you want?'' The boy with red streaks through his silver hair asked with a slight stutter as he saw his fingers twitch.

Naruto swallowed nervously as he watched the man who was sitting opposite of him. Ddraig had told him who he was and that he should keep his guard up but don't even try to fight him as he would be defeated in seconds in his current level.

He assumed Vali had received the same information from his Sacred Gear as they cautiously watched the man.

''Calm down,'' He raised his hands. ''I saw you two and got curious. I'm Azazel.'' He introduced himself before gesturing for them to do the same.

''Naruto.''

''Vali.''

They introduced themselves without adding their last name.

''Aren't you two forgetting something? A last name perhaps?'' The two brothers shared a look before gazing back at the man who hummed. ''I see. Well then little Lucifers, what are two boys doing here all alone?'' They didn't answer but Azazel saw them jerk a bit when he mentioned their last name and sighed. ''Look, it's obvious something must've happened that causes two boys with blood of Lucifer himself to be here, eating alone at this time.''

''...We ran from home.'' Naruto spoke up after a moment of silence.

''Oh? What could cause a Devil with Lucifer's blood and a Sacred Gear to run away from home.'' Azazel questioned before he saw them both flich at the mention of their Sacred Gear.

''Father is afraid.'' Vali mumbled with Naruto nodding. ''He didn't like that we had a Sacred Gear and combined with our ties to Lucifer he's afraid of our potential that might be more than his own.''

''Grandfather told him to bully us. Mother tried to help but couldn't. She was too weak but we don't blame her. We managed to run away with the help of our Sacred Gear and now we are here.''

''I see.'' Azazel commented upon hearing their story. It seems like his earlier guess was correct and that they did in fact suffer abuse. And while he might be a massive pervert of a man even he didn't endorse abuse of children, be they Devil or otherwise.

However, he was currently presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity. ''Would you two like to come with me? I'm sure you know who i am but i can take you in. Even train you in your Sacred Gear once i figure out which both of you have.'' His offer was favorable to both of them. He knew they wouldn't go back and they'd have to live on the streets otherwise. For him he would gain two Hybrids that were descendants of Lucifer. Even if their Sacred Gears weren't of much use their potential was already higher than most Devils their age purely due to their blood.

''We already know our Sacred Gear.'' Vali told him making the man raise an eyebrow as it was rather unusual for someone that young to be aware.

''Yeah, we met them once when we were unconscious due to..'' He didn't finish but it was more than clear. Still, Azazel was intrigued as Naruto implied their Sacred Gear was one with a soul.

Then it hit him.

Could it be? Azazel wondered as he looked at the two. Two brothers, both of them having a Sacred Gear that's draconic in nature with a soul sealed into it. The chances of that happening seemed impossible but it might just be the case right here.

''What uh, what is its name then?'' He asked them and he could barely keep his anticipation from leaking into his voice.

''Ddraig said it was Boosted Gear.'' Naruto said with Vali following him right after.

''Albion told me mine is called Divine Dividing.''

And just like that Azazel had hit the jackpot. There was no way he was going to leave here without those two. If anyone else would come across them and found out they would end up being hunted as their potential was almost unlimited. Now he could somewhat see why their father would be afraid of them.

A Longinus Sacred Gear combined with blood of the original Morning Star… If properly taught he might be looking at contenders for Strongest Red and White Dragon Emperor in a couple of years.

They just needed someone to guide them. Someone with knowledge of how their Sacred Gear worked in order to get the most out of it and he doubted there was anyone better than him.

True, there was the current Beelzebub who was hailed as a genius but his field of expertise lay more in general technology. In comparison, Sacred Gears might as well be some alien tech. He on the other hand was somewhat obsessed with them to the point that he had even started creating artificial ones.

There was a saying in the supernatural that both Azazel and Beelzebub should be kept away from each other for not even they were ready to face whatever machinations the two would be able to come up with.

''So what do you two say? You wish to come with me to Grigori? You'll be offered protection, a bed and training by none other than myself.''

Naruto and Vali exchanged glances before each of them contacted their Sacred Gear.

'Ddraig, you there? Should we accept?'

'I say go for it. He wasn't lying when he said people would be interested in you two, some with intentions that are less than savory. Beside that Azazel is one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to Sacred Gears so if anyone can help you reach your potential it is him.'

'Alright, thanks.' He broke contact with the Dragon and leaned near Vali's ear before whispering. ''What did he say? Ddraig told me to accept.''

''Same,'' Vali returned just as softly. ''Albion said that he is our best choice if we want to get stronger.''

''So we accept?'' Vali nodded and the two faced Azazel who looked at them with patience.

''After discussing this we accept your offer.'' A pleased smile formed on the Fallen Angel's face as they spoke those words and he clasped his hands together.

''Excellent. Let me finish paying before we'll head out to Grigori.''

Minutes later the trio were outside before walking towards a less busy area so they could fly without being seen. Entering a rather dirty looking alley they stopped as Azazel turned to the two boys as twelve wings, each black as the night grew out of his back.

Both boys stared at the wings for a few seconds before shaking out of their trance and making their own wings appear.

''Albion.'' Vali spoke as blue fluorescent wings formed behind him as he used his Sacred Gear opposed to his own Devil wings. Azazel stared at his wings for a moment before shifting towards the boy next to him who nodded as he understood.

Swoosh

Black wings like those from a bat grew on Naruto's back. However, unlike most Devils instead of a single pair Naruto had eight. It signified him having the blood of Lucifer flowing through him as only those of his line had more than one pair of wings no matter the power. Azazel had no doubt that Vali too had the same wing count but prefered those of his Sacred Gear.

''Mhm, interesting to see how much like the original Lucifer those wings are. Only he had twelve whereas you have eight. Nevertheless, i assume you know how to use those so just keep up.'' With that said Azazel took off, a gust of wind could be felt due to the speed he used.

The two brothers shared a smile before following after him, they too leaving a gust of wind behind as they shot up into the night.

It was unknown how long they followed after Azazel before they reached their destination but it didn't felt too long.

''This is Grigori?'' Naruto commented as his feet made contact with the ground and he called back his wings. ''I always thought it was in the Underworld. At least that is what we were told.''

Azazel chuckled lightly as he looked at the two boys behind him. ''Well, you aren't wrong per se. This is the headquarters we have in the human world. A majority of us Fallen are stationed in the Underworld however, mainly those with one or two pairs of wings.''

They followed Azazel as he led them to their destination. As they walked glances were sent their way. It was understandable of course. After all, the two doubted it happened often that they would see their leader being followed by two young boys.

''Azazel? Who is this?'' A middle-aged, gruff looking man spoke up as they entered a specific building. One didn't need to be some sort of genius to know that this building in specific was much more important compared to all the other. Both due it looking more like some kind of bunker and that it had all sorts of guards around it.

''Baraqiel, where's Shemhazai? I have something i need to talk with you two about.''

''Shemhazai? He should be back soon as he went to check up on something. The thing you want to talk about has something to do with those two, i suppose?''

''Correct, these two are Vali,'' He pointed at the silver haired boy before moving to the one with red streaks in his hair. ''And Naruto. They'll be joining us starting from now on. I'll explain why when Shemhazai gets here but if you focus on either of them you'll have somewhat of an idea.''

Baraqiel was satisfied with what Azazel told him for now and did what he asked as he focused on the two boys. Quickly he understood as he could sense demonic energy coming from both of them and there was something else there as well. It was hidden quite well and unfortunately his sensing skill wasn't as good as Azazel so he was left wondering what it is he sensed.

Next a knock was heard on the door before it was opened and in walked a beautiful purple haired woman clad in somewhat revealing outfit. ''Azazel-sama, i see you're back.'' Her eyes then landed on the two boys standing next to him and before either knew it she had moved and was embracing either of them with an arm. ''Who are these cuties?'' She asked as either boy attempted to wiggle out of her hold.

''Penemue, these are Naruto and Vali. Vali is the one on your left with Naruto on your right.''

''Oooh, such pretty hair you two have!'' She cooed as she pushed them back a tad bit, revealing the flushed faces either boy wore while at the same time glaring at her. Their glares did nothing however as she continued to fawn over both boys.

''Penemue.'' The firm voice of her superior did make her pause in what she was doing and look at him. ''Please direct these two to one of the rooms we have available and keep an eye on them if you can.'' The latter was said with a wink as both boys gulped.

Penemue's eyes lit up before she dragged them away by their hands, ignoring their struggles as the hold she had on them was too strong.

''You know, if i wasn't aware of you bringing them here i'd assume you had a grudge against them, sending them to Penemue like that.'' Baraqiel told his friend and superior who just smiled.

''It's payback for having paid for their dinner.''

''Finally… annoying woman.'' Naruto grumbled as Penemue left the room after messing with his and Vali's hair.

Vali nodded his head in agreement with his brother as he tried to comb it back into its previous style with his hands as he sat onto one of the beds that were present. ''Nii-san, you think we made the right choice?'' He asked Naruto who was now actually taking some time to take in the room they had been assigned to.

''It is. If we're going to defeat our father, our grandfather we need to become stronger. Our potential as others have said is huge, largely due to the gift we each have. It's true that due to me having Boosted Gear and you Divine Dividing we are fated to fight i think we can put that to the side for now. I'm sure both Ddraig and Albion could agree it would be more interested after we are both much stronger.'' Naruto could hear Ddraig agree from inside of him and was sure Vali was experiencing the same with Albion. ''So for now we'll just train until we're strong enough so we can kill both father and grandfather and this is the easiest way to do so.''

As he finished speaking Vali's Sacred Gear made itself known as it formed on his back but with the wings not active. ''He's right partner. It wouldn't satisfy me knowing we would defeat the host of my rival if he's not at his strongest.''

''Hmph!'' A scoff was heard this time coming from Naruto as the Boosted Gear formed on his arm. ''Cocky aren't you? If i remember correct my host killed yours last time.''

''Lies!'' Albion raged. ''It was clearly a tie!''

''Sure… if it makes you feel any better.''

Vali and Naruto stared at another, each with a deadpan expression as they listened to their Sacred Gear argue with another. At once both nodded as they recalled either of them and stopping their bickering.

They each laid down onto their respective beds and stared up at the ceiling. They were much more tired than either realized as everything that happened today finally caught up with them.

And so, it was only a matter of time as both of them doze off.

The following morning they were woken up by a knock on the door.

Naruto's eyes fluttered open slowly as he let out a groan while turning on his side. He glanced over to his brother to see him covering his face with a pillow and let out another groan, especially as once more the sound of knocking let itself heard.

With much trouble Naruto managed to get to his feet and he dragged himself over to the door before opening it. ''..Yeah?'' He muttered half asleep only to be met with Penemue, or rather her chest which was on the same level as his eyes.

Slowly he moved his gaze upwards and met her own eyes which looked at him with amusement visible. ''Good, you're awake. Azazel requested me to get you and Vali.''

Naruto shifted his eyes at his still sleeping brother and created a small magic circle above him out of which a stream of water fell, right on top of him.

''Eee!'' They both heard as Vali threw his pillow to the side and jumped to his feet. His eyes darted around before landing on the smirking form of Naruto and he was about to counterattack when he noticed he wasn't alone and stopped himself.

It didn't stop Vali of from muttering all sorts of obscenities beneath his breath as he made his way towards them. ''What do you want?'' The way he spoke earned him a nudge to his arm courtesy of Naruto who shook his head.

''Azazel wishes to see both of you.'' Penemue repeated what she said earlier to Naruto and Vali hummed before he walked past her.

''Let's go then, i'd like to get some more sleep after we're done.'' Penemue and Naruto stared at Vali's back as he marched forward before quickly running after him as he turned the corner as neither of the two brothers knew the directions of the building they were currently in.

It was easy to catch up to Vali as he walked into a deadend which was quite amusing but now Penemue was leading them towards Azazel.

They spotted the man currently reading over some papers, he had spared them a glance which showed that he was aware of their presence though. After delivering them Penemue gave him a bow before she left the two alone. Azazel continued to look over his papers which made either boy shuffle around a bit.

''Tell me, between both of which is the older one?''

The sudden question made Naruto and Vali freeze and look at another for seconds before turning to the Fallen. ''I am!'' They both exclaimed at the same time and making their head snap and glare at the other.

''You? If i recall correct mother said that i was the oldest.'' Naruto said in a rather condensending manner making Vali grit his teeth.

''Liar!'' Vali pointed his finger accusingly at Naruto who appeared unbothered as he used a finger to clear his ears.

''Hm? You say something Vali?'' Vali choked and Azazel interrupted them then for as amusing it was to see he had an inkling of an idea they'd end up fighting if not stopped and potentially ruin his office.

''How about we'll skip that for now? Here,'' He handed them each a piece of paper and a pen. ''Fill these and i'll have someone make a file for each of you. After that i'll explain just what you'll be doing here regarding training and the like.'' He then stood up. ''Once you're done place them on my desk and meet me outside as i first want to see how far each of you are with your Sacred Gear.'' And with that he left the room.

End Chapter.

I know what you're asking, 'What about Issei?' Well, i have an idea for that so no worries or do... Whatever floats your boat.

I'll be working on my Yasaka x Naruto fic next so expect an update hopefully withing a couple days depending on how easy the ideas come.
