Hello, my name is Abel Nightroad. Long ago I was once a priest under the Catholic Church. In a way I was like the Vatican's secret weapon called "Crusnik." I'm a vampire that drinks the blood of vampires. My job was to keep the peace between the Terran (humans) and the Methuselah (vampires). I was sent in before a large war could take place between our two races. Most of these upstarts were caused by my brother's orden.

One day while Count Ion Fortuna and I were after my brother, Cain, my brother sent me on a trip through time. That is where I met Sir Integra Hellsing, Alucard, Seras Victoria, and quite a few other characters from the past. Who knew that they would be my era's greatest allies.

After a series of events an enemy that should have stayed in the past came to the future, meaning to take over the past along with the future. This group was called Millennium; a neo Nazi group consisting of vampires. We had no idea just how strong this army was.

In an odd turn of events Cain showed up willing to help us get rid of Millennium. After the first plan ended in failure things only got worse as our supplies and manpower began to diminish. The attack was harder than we could have ever imagined. It wiped out many buildings and many lives both Terran and Methuselah.

That war really brought forth many things some good and some bad. There was one time where I was lost in the darkness of the war, wanting to kill everyone, and destroy everything in sight just for seer enjoyment. My mental self was locked away by my own powers while my powers took control of my body. At first we thought it was my Crusnik nano-machines were just in hyper-drive, but truth be told it was something else.

While I was in the past I partook in the blood of the real vampire race; the Nosferatu not Methuselah blood. No one knew it would cause a large problem down the road. It seemed that sometime during a battle with a Millennium soldier calling himself The Dandy Man that the blood of the Nosferatu would rise and combine with the power of the Crusnik. Also now I no longer need Methuselah but Terran blood instead.

It took everything in my brother's power to bring the real me back to the surface. In doing so he sacrificed himself to save me. That was the first time in many years did my brother show that he could still care for someone other than himself. I will never forget that look in his eyes just before his passed away. It still haunts me.

Also now thanks to the fact the have the powers of the Nosferatu I can no longer look like an average man. My lips are stained pure black and my blue eyes are ringed with darkness. I retain my fangs although subtle and my fingernails remain pitch black and also elongated and very sharp. I have to wear makeup and gloves now to hide those traits. Luckily I can still eat normal human food and walk out in mid-daylight.

Finally after what seemed like forever we obtained one of the time devices from the enemy and discovered the location of where Millennium HQ was located. With the help of William's idea to use the palace automated dolls and using a similar program to Tres' battle programs it helped in taking hold of Millennium and free our era along with the past.

After the war many things happened. Ion and Esther got married for one as did Virgil and Asta. They made it a double wedding. It was really sweet. Hellsing and her group left to help their era recover. I also discovered that Caterina was actually Integra descendent. I also discovered out something quite by accident. I never told Caterina the truth about Integra and Hugue and I thought it would be best to never let her know or Hugue for that matter.

About a year after the war my boss/secret lover Caterina contracted an illness. She died three months after she was diagnosed. They had only given her a month and she lived for 3. Caterina fought until the very end. I had a tomb erected for her and I placed Lilith beside her. However, I placed Lilith there without telling a single soul and no one other than me knows she's there.

The war changed many things. Although the Methuselah held the technology to help rebuild the world so did the hidden race of the Nosferatu. They had remained quiet for many years but they finally showed up after the war with technology that far surpassed that of the Methuselah.

Another war broke out between the Methuselah and the Nosferatu. The war ended with my little sister Seth, the Methuselah Empress, murdered while she slept. After that the Methuselah race was slaughtered or ran into hiding. Over time there were less and less Methuselah and soon there were none.

After the death of my sister I was left alone. I had no family left and I was the last of the Crusniks. I may have gained the powers of a Nosferatu, but I still consider myself a Crusnik. I'm the last of my kind.

Many years later the Terran started another war against the Nosferatu and started to wipe out the Nosferatu also known by that time as the nobility. Slowly as time went on there were less and less Nosferatu in the world and bounty hunters were everywhere. My looks attracted some of those hunters and that is way I resorted to makeup and gloves.

Thousands of years passed by and I found myself in a deep rut. I no longer had the urge to really keep on living. I was tired and I had lost all interest in the world. I practically had one foot in the grave. I just wanted to die so much but I couldn't but I was too cowardly end it myself. I had even lost my faith in everything; in the people, in the world, in God, and even in myself.

So I had plenty of time to work on my powers of the Nosferatu. I can do many things now that I'm older. Power really does come with age. I've mastered all of the basics and I know some of the advanced powers. Some are basic shape shifting. I'm not a bat person so I usually end up as a raven. Odd, huh? I can even do illusions, read minds, and use animals as familiars. These are just a few things I can do.

But one night while I visited the old tomb of Caterina and Lilith, Seras appeared and gave me something. She basically pulled my foot out of the grave and gave me a push out the door. The item she gave me was a device that can go back in forth in time along with traveling through other dimensions.

I guess she'll always be looking out for me. I owe a lot more than I can ever give her. I've decided to use this device that Isaak invented. It gave me a purpose to continue living. I had decided that I would help people like I had promised so many years ago. I'm keeping that promise and these are my stories.

"Nani? Are you sure, old man," a young man snapped, his golden eyes boring a hole into the elder man and held onto his shirt. "What is this god like?"

"Inuyasha, let him go," a raven haired girl snapped in green and white school uniform. "We can talk without you restraining him."

Inuyasha set the old man free and then preceded to make a pouting face. The girl, Kagome, sighed and then put on a smile. The old man looked a little rattled and stared warily at Inuyasha.

"I'm so sorry about that. Now, what were you saying about this god?" Kagome asked gently, keeping her smile.

"In the village just up the road there is a god. I went there to sell some goods. Apparently the new deity had only arrived three weeks earlier. However, livestock has gone missing and all of them drained of blood," the old man said, adjusting his pack on his back. "This only happened since the deity appeared. They are scared of him but at the same time they don't want him to go."

"Well, that doesn't make any sense at all," Inuyasha snorted, crossing his arms. "If they fear him then why keep him around?"

"Maybe their scared that he will turn on them if they do," Kagome concluded.

"Actually, I talked to a shrine maiden and she said the only reason they haven't gotten rid of him is because thanks to him that village is finally bringing in money. It was a poor village and I use to have a hard time selling anything there. Now I've just about sold all I have. It's all because he's there," the old man replied. "Also he has helped many people with health problems. I myself went to see him about my bad back."

"What did he look like?" Inuyasha asked forcefully.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome growled at him firmly.

"I really didn't see his face much. There was a cloth that covered his eyes and head. But I do recall silver almost white strands of hair fell from under his hood on both sides of his face. From what I could see of his face he must be beautiful. His face was very pale and long and his lips were solid black," the old man said, looking at Inuyasha roll his eyes. "Even though he was dressed in many robes you could tell he was very thin and when he stood he was so tall he would have to duck just to walk out the door. His voice was very gentle and calm. He had a slight accent though."

"What do you think, Kagome, could this be our guy?" Inuyasha asked, looking at the school girl.

"I don't know but I do sense a shard in the direction of that village," Kagome said quietly. "By the way what did he do for your back?"

"He had me remove my shirt and had me turn my back towards him. He ran his hands down my back a few times and asked me questions about when and where did it hurt. Oddly enough he had be lay on my stomach and he started rubbing my back. It felt really good, actually," the old man said with an awkward look. "Anyway, he said that I had some pulled muscles in my lower back and that staying off my feet would the best thing for me for a while and a good hot bath. He also said I had something weird called arthritis in my lower spine. He never really explained what arthritis was."

"The bones in your lower back no longer have cushion between them and they rub and hit each other causing a lot of pain," Kagome explained still getting weird looks from the old man and now even from Inuyasha. "Never mind, forget I said that. Of course they wouldn't understand that."

"Well, thanks anyway," Inuyasha snorted.

"I would do as that deity said and stay off your feet," Kagome smiled. "Oh, one more thing did he have a name, this god?"

"Oh, yeah, they only referred to him as 'Father' or some really odd name with weird a sound only he could pronounce," the old man sighed. "Aber—uh Abe something…"

"Abel," Kagome said and the old man nodded. "That's a western name. Domo Arigato."

"Don't mention it, young lady," the old man then stared back down the path.

"I want to see this 'god' or whatever he is," Inuyasha grumbled.

"Let's head back to the river where Sango and the others are," Kagome started.

"Good then maybe we can get to that village," Inuyasha said and Kagome rolled her eyes. "I think this 'god' is nothing more than a demon with a jewel shard."

"Something told me you were going to say that," Kagome groaned.

The group arrived at the village a few hours before sunset. The small village did look pretty lively but they could still tell that the village was once quite poor. They found an inn, the only inn, in town. It wasn't the best they've stayed but it was better than staying outside.

Inuyasha instantly wanted to go strait to the temple were this 'god' resided but after a little 'sitting' session Inuyasha decided against it and to do what everyone else was doing, asking around about this new deity. A couple hours later the group met back at the inn and discussed what they gathered up.

Kagome confirmed that there was more than one jewel shard; at least 3 she gathered. Sango and Miroku had done some investigating with the people that lost their live stock mostly small animal such as ducks and chickens. The live stock owners feared that sooner or later it would be large animals like dogs and pigs and maybe even people.

Shippou, Inuyasha, and Kagome, went to all the people that went to the deity for health problems. Most everything prescribed were herbs, rest, and hot soaks. A few people who lost their children brought them to the new 'god' and were told that there was nothing he could do for them. He told the parents to pray for their souls and he would do the same. It gave them comfort and that's all he really could do for them.

Night had fallen by now and Kagome realized she had yet to work on her homework. She went over to her pack and started pulling out her books and notes. Inuyasha caught sight of what she was doing.

"Kagome, we don't have time for that," Inuyasha snapped. "We need to go after that so-called god."

"I don't think he'll be leaving anytime soon and to top it off I have to have this done," Kagome barked back. "I'm going back home next week and I haven't done a single bit of my homework."

"What's so important about this 'homework' stuff, anyway?" Inuyasha snorted. "It's just a waste of time if you ask me."

"Here we go again," Miroku sighed as Sango and Shippou nodded.

"It's not a waste of time! I've told you before that an education is a very important thing in my era, Inuyasha! And homework is an important part of a proper education!"

"Feh, what's so important about some stupid numbers and weird languages?"

"Math isn't stupid and learning another language is very useful!"

"Yeah, right…"

"SIT!!"

SLAAAAM!!

"I'm obviously not going to get any work done in here," Kagome bit out, taking her homework in her arms. "I'll be outside somewhere away from you and don't you dare follow me!"

"Why would I want to follow you in the first place?" Inuyasha snorted back form his place on the floor.

Kagome stomped out the door with a flashlight, her books, paper, pencils, and small bag of food in hand. Inuyasha sat and saw his other teammates glaring dully at him.

"NANI?!" Inuyasha barked.

"Baka," was all Shippou said at the group turned their backs on him.

Kagome sat down under an old dead tree using a bolder for a table. Her face was still bright red from the argument. Hopefully doing her homework would get her mind off that idiot. She took in a deep breath and opened her math book. She looked at the problems and groaned. She hardly understood any of it even after reading over the instructions on how to work out the problems. This was going to take a while.

About 40 minutes passed and Kagome had only 6 out of 38 problems solved. Well, at least she thought they were solved. She realized that this was hopeless as she worked on her 7th math problem. She didn't know what she was doing. She just scribbled down what she thought was the answer.

"The answer is not 5," a male voice said. "Try it again. This time remember to divide."

Kagome froze. Who was that? She turned around and saw no one. The only light was from her flashlight and the full moon. She looked around for the source of the voice. Finding no one she went back to her work. She wished she had remembered her bow and arrows.

She worked out the problem again, dividing this time. She ended up with the number 15. She waited to see if the voice would return. There was not a sound but that of owls and crickets. She started on the next problem and noticed something shift out of the corner of her eye. But she didn't see anything so she went back to work when she saw it again. This time she turned her head as the object moved.

It was a shadow of someone sitting up in the old dead tree above her head. But from that far up how could he see her answers? She tried not to act like she saw where the figure was and started working again and put down another answer.

"You're bad at this," the voice said again. "You didn't divide again."

Kagome grumbled and redid the problem and put down another answer. Again she didn't get a response from the man above her. So it must be correct. She started working on her 9th problem this time dividing. She wanted to see if he said anything else.

"Better," was all he said to her.

This was a little creepy. It was no better than when someone was looking over her shoulder. She finished that set and started working the next set. When she put down the answer for problem one she heard the man snorted at her. She erased it and did it again this time not getting a single sound out of him. This was going from creepy to annoying. She started on her next question and put down another answer.

"Wrong," he announced.

"Fine, then you come down here and do it if you're so smart," She snapped, standing up and glared up at him, sitting high up in the tree, silhouetted in the moonlight.

A moment later the man jumped down from the tree and landed lightly on his feet on another bolder by the tree in a squatting position. Kagome took her flashlight and shown it his face. He covered he face with his sleeves.

"I do not wish to go blind. Lower your light," he responded and Kagome removed the beam of light from his face slightly and he lowered his arm. "Arigato."

Now that there was more light on the man she could see him better. She froze instantly at the full sight of him. Grant it this village was starting to build up money but no one in the village had that nice of robes and so many off them. She finally focused in on the man's face or what she could see of it from under the white and gold cloak. Silver hair framed both sides of his head and all that she could see of his actual face was the base of his nose, very pale skin, and pitch black lips curved into a small grin.

"You're Father, I presume," Kagome said sternly, standing her ground. What should I do? I can't see any jewel shards hidden in his robes. Are they at the temple?

"Hai, that I am," he answered calmly. "You know, you're a stupid idiot to be out here alone at night."

"Why you…" Kagome bit out through her clenched teeth.

"You're not even in the village and you have no weapons. There are some unsavory samurai running around here," he stated. "I'm also surprised a wolf hasn't gotten you yet. They're pretty bad through here and you have food with you too. You're just asking for trouble. I couldn't leave young woman such as yourself out here alone after all."

"I'm perfectly fine as you can see," she snapped at him.

"Oh, really?" He asked stepping off of the stone and onto level ground and took a step to stand before her. "You seem to have a problem to me."

Kagome literally glared up at him. Now that he was standing he must be a good 6 foot or so. He was very long and gangly looking despite the amount of robes he wore, just like the old man had said.

"And that would be?" she grumbled.

"You're bad at math," he stated, picking up her textbook. "Besides this kind of math doesn't even exist yet."

Kagome was about to snap at him but stopped herself. Come to think of it how did he know about this kind of math anyway? She watched as he kept a clawed finger in her place of the book while he thumbed through it a bit. He then set it back down on the bolder. If he knew about math then maybe he was a god.

"Oi! You get way from her," a familiar voice sounded from behind Kagome.

A second later a flash of red and white jumped between them and took a swipe at the deity. Father jumped back avoiding the swipe from Inuyasha's claws. No sooner had Father avoided Inuyasha's attack did he have to avoid a large boomerang. He just vanished into thin air before rematerializing a ways away.

"Kagome, are you all right?" Sango asked, catching her Hiraikotsu, before trotting over to said schoolgirl.

"I'm fine," Kagome replied, turning to look at where the deity had went.

Father thought he would have a second to think only to be slapped in the lower back by a thin hard object. He lunged forward from the hit before he turned around and managed to catch the staff before it could strike him again only to find a Buddhist monk, holding the other end.

"That damn well hurt, Mr. Monk," Father bit out at the monk.

"Not as much as this will," Inuyasha said, coming down with an oversized sword.

Father barely had enough time to jerk the staff from Miroku's hands and used it to block the Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha was pushing down as hard as could to get to Father.

"Inuyasha, be careful," Miroku said as Inuyasha took another swing at Father only to have the deity block it yet again with the crosier.

"You scared he's going to hurt me or something?" Inuyasha snapped as Father ducked before blocking with the staff again.

"Not you! I just don't want my crosier sliced in half," Miroku said, watching said object get another direct blow from the Tetsusaiga.

"You should have thought of that before hitting me with it," Father snapped, vanishing and reappearing at the top of the tree. "Now, before you come up here I would like to know just what this whole mess is about! I was just talking to the young lady."

"That's all he was doing, really," Kagome confirmed as Inuyasha relaxed his stance ever so slightly. "We just started talking nothing more."

"That man is a definitely a youkai," Inuyasha stated, glancing at the girls for a moment. "Where are his jewel shards, Kagome?"

"He doesn't have any," Kagome said as Shippou jumped on her shoulder.

"Are you sure?" Shippou asked and Kagome nodded.

"He's hiding them somewhere," Sango suggested.

"More than likely at the temple," Miroku concluded.

"You'll forgive me if I draw up a blank," Father said, scratching his head. "What jewel shards are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with us! You know exactly what we are talking about," Inuyasha snapped at the man in the tree. "The shards of the Shikon no Tama, where are they?"

"Even if I did know what you were talking about, why would I tell a group of complete strangers who just attacked me where they would be?" Father snorted at them. "I just don't see the logic on why I should tell you anything after this assault."

"He has a point on that one," Kagome said in response and everyone looked at her funny. "I'm just saying I wouldn't give somebody something after they just attacked me either."

"Who said we were just going to—" Inuyasha stopped dead when he looked back up at the now empty tree with Miroku's crosier hanging from a branch . "DAMMIT! He got away!"

"Where do you think he went?" Shippou asked, looking at the people around him.

"Back to the temple no less. We find him we, find the jewel shards. Let's go," Inuyasha ordered.

Kagome went to grab her things to find it all gone. Father must have taken it. If she wanted her stuff back no doubt she would have to bargain for it. She sighed and got on Kirara with Sango as Shippou held onto her shoulders.

"He has your stuff?" Shippou asked.

"Yes, he may use it to bargain with. He knows I need it for school," Kagome said and the group headed towards the large temple.

(A/N End of chapter one. So is this any good. I'm going to be using a lot of things in this story to the X-Files to the Justice League. This is going to be interesting.)
