TITLE GOES HERE

Egypt
was in a time of great prosperity. The
fields were made ready by the people after the Nile
flooded and they gathered the fish, abundantly lying on the ground during that
time too, smoking and preserving them for future meals and feasts. Food was in a surplus there; along with the
fish the fields yielded crops of grain and corn, used to make bread which was a
staple in the diet of all Egyptians, both poor and rich. Meat was abundant as well, with the fish
there was also pork and bird, while the richer at beef along with everything
else. Trade was good; ships coming in
and out of Egypt�s
main harbor everyday bringing rich silks and exotic
spices from all of its provinces and worlds outside of what Egypt
could control.
This time of
plenty was led by the Pharaoh Naraku, a powerful pharaoh with long black hair
and stunningly deep eyes, with his beloved wife Kagura, High Queen and the
first wife he had married. They had a child,
though it wasn�t a son, Kana, a young girl of exceptional beauty for only being
around ten years of age. Unlike her
parents her hair had a silvery blue gleam to it making her hair shine whenever
the sunlight touched it. Her parents
believed her destined to be a priestess in the Temple
of Ra, a high honor indeed for any
woman.
The High Priest
was a young man named Miroku, a letch among letches. His first wife Sango put up with it, although
she struck him over the head numerous times with whatever object was available
when Miroku was feeling up someone much too young to be his. Miroku had a few other wives, but Sango was
always his favorite and so he took the beatings as a sign of jealousy.
The Pharaoh
Naraku had an oracle by the name of Kaede, a weird woman of elderly age, living
far past what the normal lifespan was.
She caught glimpses of the future now and then, but the pharaoh depended
on for wisdom at times, having the grace to acknowledge when he did need help,
for she, having lived through two other pharaohs previous to him, his father
and his grandfather, knew more about things than he did. Of course she helped him but always took no
credit once whatever happened had happened from her advice, whether it was good
or bad.

�

Of course as there were numerous gods,
numerous things started to happen.
Sesshomaru, the god of destruction, one of the most powerful gods by
far, often watched the pharaoh battle and if the pharaoh had procured a good
enough offering for him, would assist if the need arose. His demeanor gave way to believe he had no
heart, especially when it came to his younger sibling, a demi-god by the name
of Inuyasha. Inuyasha was a demi-god,
but a powerful one at that, known often as the god of fertility. Being only a demi-god however, he didn�t
posses as much power as the other gods even though his power, which he had
inherited from his father, was strong enough to be bothersome from time to
time.
There was Shippo,
the god of mischief, a fox god whose tricks either helped or hindered
lives. The tiny god loved to cause
things to happen and would run away if things got out of hand. All the elder gods loved him and watched over
him, he was a favorite of Ra and often brought him amusement when it was most
needed.
Koga, a young god
by far, known as the god of the hunt was arrogant when it came to everything
and anything. The pharaoh often called
upon the god of the hunt near spring, when the hunting season would open and
the pharaoh would go out to bring back a trophy to display for the year. Koga, favoring this particular pharaoh would
guide him to some of the best hunting grounds, where it was rumored that the
gods even hunted these grounds on occasion.
All the gods
loved Egypt at
this time, their offerings which they received with open arms were numerous and
wonderful. The best Egypt
had to offer. Of course, that didn�t
mean some of the gods didn�t affect things during Egypt. Temples
had been constructed not on a whim, but because the gods demanded them. Sesshomaru was greatly honored in shrines and
temples. The only god that would hold a
higher position than him, or so it seemed was his father, Ra himself. Of course Sesshomaru regretted being the son
of Ra at times, seeing as how Ra had fathered his half brother Inuyasha.
Families of the
gods had just as many feuds as families in the mortal realm.

�

Kagome was a
priestess of Anubis, the jackal god of embalming. She was around 15 years of age, long flowing
black hair and deep beautiful black eyes.
It was odd that she hadn�t married yet, most married around 12-13 years
of age, and that was normal, for women at least. She didn�t believe she was destined to be
married so instead she gave her life working at the temple
of Anubis. She worked hard doing whatever the priest of
the temple asked of her, preparing meals, cleaning or even putting out
offerings or sacrifices for the god.
Dedicated to her tasks, she avoided men at whatever cost she could, not
wanting to receive an offer of marriage nor be tempted to stray from her
duties. She believed her life was for
her god and her god alone.

�

�Well, well,
well, what do we have here?� A loud
cocky voice opened Inuyasha�s eyes and he found himself looking into the sharp
eyes of none other than Koga, god of the hunt. �It seems the little half god is
taking a nap!�
�So what if I
am?� came the reply and Inuyasha sat up and glared at the wolf. �I don�t have
anything to do right now so I was catching a little sleep.�
�Is the god of
fertility lonely?� Koga asked. �For being the god of�well lust and childbirth
you don�t get much, do you?� Inuyasha
let loose a punch towards the god and Koga laughed, jumping backwards and
avoiding it easily. It was an old
argument; Inuyasha was used to being teased, so his one goal now was to land a
punch on one of the gods who insulted him.
To his dismay, the only one he had ever landed a punch on was on the god
of mischief, but then again, everyone could hit him if they wanted, even if he
was the only one who actually wanted to.
�What are you
doing here anyways?� Inuyasha asked, standing up and tossing a lock of silver
hair behind his head. He always knew he
was better looking than Koga, making sure the wolf knew it on ever possible
opportunity. �I�m sure a god of the hunt
has better things to do than to bother me.�
Koga laughed. �Of
course, but unfortunately I have been sent to fetch you. Your father wishes to talk to you.�
�I don�t wanna
talk to my old man,� Inuyasha said. �What makes you think I do?�
�It�s not your
choice, what Ra wants is what Ra better get.
I�d head over there to talk to him if I were you. Maybe he caught you slacking off!� Inuyasha didn�t get time for a retort before
Koga was off, his legs carrying him away at a speed that still left Inuyasha in
the dust.
�One day I�m
going to hit you and take you down!� Inuyasha grumbled. �What could my old man
want anyways?�

�

Ra greeted his
son with a warm hug, something Inuyasha didn�t like or care for and so he
pulled away. �My son, why do you shy so from a hug?�
�What did you
want to see me about father?� he asked and Ra smiled warmly at his son. He may only be a demi-god, with his ears
visible and a bad temper, but he loved his son for reminding him often of his
mortal mother, who had died during childbirth.
Inuyasha was his pride, only half a god but having the heart he loved in
Inuyasha�s mother, strength and many other qualities he had yet to discover.
Ra frowned
slightly. It was like his son to get
quite to the point, but whether he liked the point that was gotten to really
did depend on his son. �I�ve decided something.
This place has been too long without children.� Inuyasha�s mouth dropped. �And as such, I�ve
wanted to hold a grandchild in my arms for the longest time now.� Inuyasha wanted to plug his ears. �As such,
you are the god of fertility, so I deem it time for you to find a wife and have
a few children.�
�Hold on one
minute!�
�Now this wife
can be mortal or not, I will let her gain immortality should she wish it. You have time to search for love, I won�t
force you or anything, but however I do wish that you find someone rather
quickly,� Ra said, ignoring his son�s protests. �It shouldn�t be a problem for
you; you inherited my good looks after all.�
With that he began to laugh, his golden eyes shining with life. �You did
want me to get right to the point my son, are you not pleased I did so?�
�I can�t believe
what you just asked of me! Why not ask
Sesshomaru to do it?�

�Because he told me he wouldn�t
until Rin was older. Rin is a younger
goddess, she has to develop her senses and powers before he�d consider getting
her pregnant.�
�But you�re okay
with me finding someone, mortal or immortal and getting them pregnant? I may be the god of fertility father but that
doesn�t mean I�ll be able to find someone!�
�Egypt
has many fine young women,� Ra said. �And the pharaoh is good to his
people. You could ask him for assistance
in finding someone, or walk the streets and find someone yourself.�
�Right, because
none of the other immortal goddesses up here would even consider getting
married to a demi-god!�
�I didn�t mean it
as an insult,� Ra said gently, �I speak from experience. Your mother was someone I loved
immensely. She did not take the immortal
gift I offered her; she wanted to live out her life.�
�And you now want
me to do the same?�
Ra smiled. �I
would offer the immortal gift to whoever you find to be your wife Inuyasha,
don�t doubt that. You must let it be her
choice when the time comes.�
Inuyasha grinned,
baring his fangs. �What if I like men instead?�

Ra raised an eyebrow. His son was just taunting him now. �There are
ways to work around that.� He smiled at
the horrified expression that Inuyasha had plastered onto his face. �Don�t
worry my son, there�s always someone out there for you. It just is time for you to settle down,
that�s all.�
�That and you
want a grandson.�
�I always wanted
a big family,� he said easily enough. �Now go.
I expect you to be at least looking for a bride even if your search
doesn�t produce any fruit yet.�
�I�ll begin
tomorrow father,� Inuyasha growled. �No way am I getting started right away.�
�That�s fine son,
just be careful. Love will show itself
to you, but you must realize that before it�s too late,� he said and patted his
son on the head. �I�m sure whoever you find will love all of you, even your
cute ears��

�KNOCK IT OFF!� Inuyasha exclaimed
and brushed his father�s hands away. �I hate this�you�re mean.�
�Don�t whine,� Ra
said. �Just go.�

�

Inuyasha grumbled
various things all the way back to his home.
He sat down on a chair and pondered what in the world he�d be able to
do. Finding a wife�but who in their
right mind would want to wed a demi-god?
Wouldn�t they rather have a full god or something?
�This isn�t at
all what I planned for in my life,� he grumbled.

�

Kaede approached
the pharaoh, slowly as she always had in the past.
�You wanted to
tell me something?� Naraku asked, holding his daughter Kana in his lap. Kana rested against her father, her head on
his chest as he held her close.
�I wanted to tell
you that one of the gods will soon be among us,� Kaede said. �This one is
coming in search of a bride.�
�Which god will
it be?� Naraku asked. �Which god will come to sweep one of the young ladies off
their feet?� He found it amusing and an
honor to have the gods search for brides in his city.
�The god of fertility,�
Kaede said slowly. �He has been ordered by his father to do it.�
�Did a vision
tell you this?� Naraku asked her.
�The god of the
hunt did. He found it most amusing and
wanted the world to know. I believe if I
remember correctly his exact words were �if Ra has to tell his own son when
it�s time to settle down you know that his son has caused enough trouble.� I believe that was what he had said,
something like that. My memory isn�t
what it used to be my pharaoh,� Kaede said.
�It�s good to
know there will be a god among my people for however much time he will be
there. It can only be a good sign when
the god of fertility himself is supposed to find a bride to have children,� he
said and let Kana down onto the floor, and she ran off towards the gardens. �It
can only mean good fertility for all of Egypt�s
women.�
�I�m sure that is
exactly what Ra had in mind my pharaoh,� Kaede said. �I must take my leave now,
I do apologize.�

�No need, I have things I must
attend to as well,� Naraku said and waved her off, watching her take the slow
steps she always did. Once she was out
of sight Naraku leaned back against the throne.
�The last time a god was among us was when Ra himself came forward
searching for a bride.�

�

�Okay, so I�ll go
down in disguise and maybe get lucky.
Yep, that sounds like a plan,� Inuyasha said as he changed out of his
red tunic for some more down to Egypt
style clothing. He threw a cloak around
himself to hide his hair and complete his ensemble; he looked like a simple
Egyptian now. The only thing that could
give him away would be his eyes, golden eyes like his father had. He didn�t want to even think of all the
things the other gods would say when he returned, his cheeks had burned with
some shame as he realized it was his father who finally had to order him to
settle down. He was already the front
runner for numerous jokes and didn�t want to become the subject for many
more. He�d find himself a bride, a
wife�he swore that he would, although it wasn�t like he had much choice. As much as he hated his father sometimes, no
one disobeyed a direct order from him.
As much as he wanted to, he didn�t have a choice in the matter; he had
to find someone to wed.

�

The streets of Egypt
were always bustling with activity, no matter what occurred the streets were
always full of people. Kagome liked them,
always busy; just she always seemed to be.
She had come to the market to pick up a few items for supper, a few
favorite spices of the head priest of the temple had just arrived and she
thought it would help flavor tonight�s meal if she obtained a few of them. The dusty road whipped up around her as wind
blew past her, nipping a little at her feet but she smiled and continued
onwards. Nothing would stop her from
doing her duties. She loved the life she
had now.

�

Inuyasha arrived
in the market place of Egypt�well,
more like in a back alley near the market so no one could see him arrive. He made sure his hood covered him and headed
out into the bright sun. His father was
sure making this a most perfect day for his search to begin. The old man was doing it on purpose, probably
sitting up there in the realm of immortals chuckling to himself
on how well he was able to make the day for his son�s first day of searching.
He considered
where he could start looking for a wife.
He could start with the brothels but he didn�t want to exactly buy a
wife or have someone try to give him one.
For a brief moment he wondered what his father had done. Ra probably used his powers to lull a girl
towards him and make her fall helplessly in love, but then again his dad didn�t
seem the type.
He walked down
the road, brushing past various people who barely gave him a second glance, and
made sure the hood was pulled over him or else people would be giving him a
second glance. He watched children run
by him and he smiled. He couldn�t help
but feel pride when he saw children; he was after all the god of
fertility. The market place had many
people in it today and was busy like always.
He hadn�t been down to Egypt
in a while and it was refreshing to see that little had actually changed in the
past few years.
Pausing to look
at some vendor�s wares he found himself entranced by everything mortals
created. The food smelled wonderful, and
he was glad even as a god he could eat any offerings that came his way, the
homemade beer was never the same between families, a staple just as much as
bread was and the shining jewelry mortals thought up always amused him.
He considered if
he should bring back a few things, perhaps gifts for his future bride but then
remembered he didn�t even have a girl in mind.
All he had been doing so far was looking at the shops. He couldn�t just choose a gift before he even
met the girl, what if she didn�t like it?
Being a god, he could get her pretty much anything she would desire but
what if she didn�t desire much of anything?
He sighed; he was contemplating a woman he hadn�t even met yet.
He walked on past
a few more vendors, inhaling the wondrous aromas and pondering what he should
do for supper when he felt himself bump into someone. He looked up as a young girl turned around
and looked at him.

�

Kagome felt
someone bump into her and startled she almost dropped her basket. She turned around and looked to see who it
had been and found herself staring into two brilliant golden eyes.

A/N: Well? Is this any better than Higurashi, Inc? Is it any good at all? Review and let me know, although I�ll update
sooner or later I think. I love Egypt, so yes; I have a little bit of research
under my belt. I read all about it, it�s
a favorite hobby of mine.
