This is the first chapter of A Little Peace of Heaven! Yes, I have used different names of gods and deities of Greek mythology. But I am going to be putting my own types in as well. Enjoy!

Three realms exist in the universe; your world, heaven and hell. Watching over these three realms is the elaborate system of the Gods and Goddesses who lived their lives to keep order in place. The king of the gods and goddesses, Zeus, or also known as Clow Reed, sits at the top of the godly pyramid, and just below him sat the two most powerful beings; Sakura, goddess of light, and Syaoran, god of the darkness. Keeping balance by staying apart is one of the most vital aspects of their life, and by disobeying this rule chaos would occur. Because of this chaos, our story begins…

Sakura was frantically searching through her enormous walk-in wardrobe, looking for a gown to wear to the ball that was to be held in her honour that night. She was new to her job, her mother having passed away not too long ago. Normally, when a new goddess or god is born, they are given an immediate title and have specific powers, but she was destined to be the successor for the light, however she didn't mind. Sakura knocked several white dresses to the side, trying to find something that took her fancy. She still couldn't find anything. "Tomoyo-be a dear and help me out!" she called out to her friend, who was sitting on Sakura's large white bed. "Coming!" Tomoyo called out.

Tomoyo, the goddess of the moon, stood up and made her way over to the open ebony doors of the wardrobe and started looking for something suitable. "Everything in here looks the same in my eyes!" Sakura complained, her voice coming from somewhere in the back of the large wardrobe. Tomoyo smirked, "Not all of them; you just need to have a proper look sweet heart." She pulled out one of Sakura's dresses from the back rail; a very light pink dress that leaked into a soft yellow, giving off a glow of a soft sunset. "Like this one, for example." Tomoyo said, walking over to where Sakura was hidden.

Sakura looked at the light chiffon material that had several layers; fitted to her bust then just hung around the rest of her figure with a bit of a trail at the back, accompanied by a shawl that would hang around her arms. "Tomoyo you're a genius!" Sakura squealed, hugging her friend. "Hurry up and get changed, I need to do your hair and make-up." Tomoyo laughed, walking out of the wardrobe and closing the doors behind her.

Sakura quickly changed into the gentle material, and made her way out of the wardrobe, stumbling over a pair of shoes she had left in the way. She quickly kicked them to the side and went and sat in the seat in front of her large mirror rimmed with gold. Tomoyo clipped in the crystals, keeping it so that the drop that would hang down in the middle of Sakura's forehead wouldn't get in the way. Tomoyo then clipped Sakura's diamond choker around her neck, adjusting it until she was content with the way it sat. "How do you do this sort of thing?" Sakura asked, being patient with her friends pickiness. "I don't know-habit?" Tomoyo replied, shrugging her shoulders. As a finishing touch, Tomoyo added some white eye shadow and painted Sakura's lips with her light pink lipstick. "There we go. I'll see you at the ball!" Tomoyo said, running out of Sakura's room and disappearing.

Sakura decided that she should probably leave her castle and get to the ball early, and left shortly after Tomoyo had left her room.

The realm of the gods was a much different place than anyone could possibly imagine, as between each castle was just white mist, but one would always know where they were going. The mist acted as a sort of pathway, as a footpath would for humans. Sakura walked through it, reaching her destination in a matter of minutes by just simply focusing her mind on it. "Oh god…" she whispered, seeing the large golden gates of the castle. They opened for her, granting her permission to enter Zeus's sanctuary, and she walked in slowly, her bare feet touching the nothingness underneath her. The large doors to the castle opened slowly, once again granting her access to the large decorated ball room. Several other Gods and Goddesses were already present, wearing their usual attire. Chii stood with Fai, in her usual pink and silver outfit with her ears and neck decorated with pink crystal hearts dangling from a silver chain. She was also known as Aphrodite. The girl that stood next to her was her identical twin sister, Freya. She was goddess of the night and stars, Nyx. The two blondes, Fai and Yuui stood with them; Fai being the god of time, or Chronos, and Yuui being the god of the sea, or Poseidon. They looked over and waved at her, and then returned to their conversation.

Sakura continued to walk through the large hall, seeing Kurogane dressed in his usual black attire. She walked over and began her friendly chat with him. "How does the god of war do today?" Sakura asked as she walked up to him. "Irritated." He grunted. Sakura raised her eyebrows, "Why's that?" she asked. "Had to drag a certain someone out of his castle earlier to attend this ball." He mumbled, before taking another sip of his red wine. "Tomoyo!" Sakura called out to her friend, who seemed to be looking for someone. Tomoyo looked over and beamed, running over and hugging Sakura. "I found you!"

"You look lovely Tomoyo." Sakura said, smiling at her best friend. "Thanks!" Tomoyo said, spinning around in her lavender dress.

"There aren't many people here yet."

"Don't worry, they'll arrive!"

"I know." Sakura laughed.

Just as Tomoyo had said, everyone had arrived quite quickly. Whispers surrounded the room as a handsome young man, around Sakura's age, walked through the hall. He was dressed completely in black, the only thing bringing any sort of light to himself being his golden eyes. His dark brown hair was messy, and his skin lightly tanned. From what she had heard, Sakura figured that he was her opposite; the god of darkness. "He's the god of darkness; Syaoran." Tomoyo said. "What is he doing here; I thought that we weren't supposed to come into contact with each other...?" Sakura asked, completely confused. "Clow invited him." Kurogane answered Sakura's question. The two girls looked at him, wondering how he knew that. "If you're wondering how I know that, it's because I asked him before when I had to go drag him out of his stupid castle." Kurogane explained. The girls looked at each other and shrugged, then turned back to look at what was happening.

As it turned out, he was walking over to Sakura, his long dark robe sliding along the floor. His gold eyes looked straight into her emerald eyes, and she felt herself freeze. He was standing just centimetres from her own body, still looking into her eyes. He looked her over before returning his eyes to hers, and held out his hand. "Care for a dance?"

Well that's the end of chapter one! WHAT DID YOU THINK? Review?
