Wings: So, here we are chapter two ^_^ yay! I'm actually writing some this week! So, before I head off to attempt chapter three of my Naruto story, let's get this done. So last chapter Anubis visited Sadie and they both fell into the Atlantic. Sounds like a great way to spend your time with the Funeral God… Anyhow! This is part duex! Meaning part two through Anubis's point of view. This will lead a little into chapter three, which is through Sadie's POV again, but you'll have to wait until next time to see how the end plays out!

How To Love A God 101

Chapter Two Anubis:

I Swim With The Sharpest Tongue In New York

I saw Sadie walking down the dark beach and smiled to myself. She was as lovely as ever with her light hair and sapphire colored eyes. Her caramel colored skin and soft smile seemed to draw me towards her; and before I knew it, I was at her side saying,

"Thinking again Lady Kane?" Of course I startled Sadie and she almost fell and I had to grab her hands in mine. Her delicate, small, hands in mine made my heart leap. Of course I didn't let this show, like Sadie with her lovely apple red blush." What Am I going to do with you Lady Kane?"

She didn't like my mockery, she never did, and her sapphire eyes flashed a lovely anger. One I never saw in human eyes from my time.

"Annoying as ever," Sadie said under her breath. Then, before I could smile at her sharp tongue, she gave me a concerned look." Why weren't you there tonight? When we visited da- I mean Osiris…"

"I had business elsewhere," I lied immediately. I remembered the first encounter I'd had with Sadie Kane and how when I mentioned Funerals she told me I must have been "great fun at parties"." Funerals and that fun stuff…"

Sadie accused me of something I've never been accused of that moment; she called me on my lie. No one called the God of Funerals on a lie, even if they knew it was one. Everyone feared that I would smite them where they stood if they called me out; no, not my Sadie though. She called it as she saw it and even if I was a God she told me what she saw. I paused for a long moment and led her to the dock. I thought of what I had been doing instead of seeing her and her brother in Lord Osiris's domain.

Flash Back:

I made my way across the golden threshold of Horus's throne room and bowed to both he and Isis, who was at his side as always. I stood slowly and turned not to the King of Gods, but to Lady Isis.

"Lady Isis I come to ask a question of you," I said boldly," If I may…" Isis nodded for me to go on and I sighed calming my nerves." Many tales have been told of the Gods' follies over the years, of them playing and using humans… But I wonder, Lady, was there ever a God who fell in love with a mortal?"

"Well," Isis said," To my knowledge no… But this is Thoth's domain, not mine, Anubis. You would hold better asking him and not me… I do believe he is in the library now if you wish…"

I bowed in thanks before walking to the door; of course once I made my way into the hall I sprinted to the library and made my way before Lord Thoth before I could think of a more rational thought. I repeated my question to him, and he had to study his many archives and information logs. Soon, however, he found me an answer.

"There have been accounts of mortal hosts falling in love," Thoth said," But never a God falling in love with a Mortal… What is this about Anubis?"

"Nothing Lord, simply curious," Anubis said. He turned and phased into a Jackal, sulking the rest of the evening until he felt Sadie was alone. He felt his heart was tearing him apart and he was doomed for it.

End Flash Back

When we reached the waters edge, I turned and spoke to Sadie once more.

"Sharpest tongue of the twentieth century," I said with a brittle smile. I let go of one of Sadie's hands (and noticed she blushed bright red again realizing I had held them all this time) and led her towards the dock." You are correct Lady, I was not on funeral business… I was working with Lord Horus."

"About what?" Sadie asked. I stayed quiet and her eyes looked hurt." Let me guess, you can't say? Super important Gods business again?"

"You know I wish I could," I said weakly. I turned towards the gray water and sighed sadly. Then Sadie said another thing to surprise me.

"No you don't," Sadie said. My eyes snapped up to meet hers again." Whenever you go off on things like this you don't want me to know. Because last time you had to tell me things like this it involved the Feather of Truth and me almost being eaten by a Snake Demon." I winced at this, remembering how close my Sadie had come to death and how close I'd come to losing her." You don't want me to know because you don't want me in that situation again."

What was I to do with this girl? This mortal girl that was forbidden fruit and made my heart, so long stone, melt and beat like mad? I dropped her hand, hoping it would settle my beating heart and saw how sad she looked. I sighed once more and turned back to her.

"You see things normal girls should not…" I said softly." You are also more perceptive then any of them give you credit for… You will be the death of me, Lady Kane…"

"I thought Gods couldn't die," Sadie said shakily. I let out his bark of a laugh and smiled widely at my Sadie. A stormy wind blew and my laugh fell short; I turned back to the sea and sighed again. I knew that was Isis's warning to stay clear.

"I have to leave now," I said softly. As I turned to leave, Sadie grabbed my hand again, stopping me." Sadie…"

No, "Lady" or "Lady Kane" or any other formal tone I was supposed to use, simply Sadie… My Sadie whose name felt like chocolate on my tongue and whose very presence made me feel alive again. She stopped and gave me a confused look; she had caught my use of her name. Then why did her heart beat as loudly as mine?

"Why did you-"

"I must leave now," I said before she could ask another question. I knew if she did I would break my calm exterior and lose it. Sadie pulled me back," Lady, please…"

"Next time we will have words!" Sadie said. Her sapphire eyes were so fiery and true I could not say no. I smiled at her and she blushed." And don't give me that bloody smile that melts my heart, I mean it! You're not getting out of it this time, you minger!"

"We will have words next time," I promised. My eyes met hers and I smiled feeling her heart beat louder with my own. Sadie smiled and went to step forward and say another smart comment but she misplaced her foot and fell towards the water. In my haste to catch her, I tumbled into the ocean with her. We both came up for air and I took one look at Sadie and burst into my barking laugh." Yes, Sadie, next time we will have words…"

I disappeared into the water after that, sinking into my realm once more. To the sound of jazz and the sound of my long stone heart beating once more.

I made my way into the Nome of New York, quietly as not to disturb Carter and Bast who I knew were out on the patio. Sadie was in the library and I made my way into there, quiet so she wouldn't hear me. I had done much soul searching after leaving Sadie and decided that I was not about to follow the rules of the Gods after spiting them so long. I walked over to Sadie and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Anubis!" Sadie squeaked." What the hell are you-"

"Shh," I said in her ear," I decided instead of having words, we would have actions this time, Sadie... I'm tired of words."

And then I spun her around and kissed her. I kissed Sadie Kane and I loved every second of it. I melted my lips to hers and pulled her slight body against my tall and toned one. I kissed her until she pulled back for air- her arms now holding my neck and gripping me desperate to be close -and then smiled at her. I waited for the harsh words and the slap, but all I saw and felt, was Sadie- my Sadie -kissing me again.
