A/N: Sooo this little fic is soon coming to an end. This is the second to last chapter. I have decided to make an Epilogue for you guys and I might even make a sequel :D I am enjoying the whole 'gods' thing, but it will also be about the other characters. Probably no plot, just mindless smut and randomness X3

Another note: Stay tuned for my upcoming story 'Hit The Deck!' for the SIH fandom, it is also about Takano/Ritsu (since they're my loves) but this will be about pirates! :D

I Always Get What I Want: Chapter Three

Ever since Ritsu told Takano that, the night god backed off.

He hadn't heard from the night god over the next few months, he's seen him at the monthly meetings, and around like when he's doing his night growing, but the man never even looked at him. And since Takano backed off, it meant Ritsu was up for grabs.

Apparently, being the love interest of the night god was imtimidating, and gods and demons alike backed off, never even looking him in the eye. They didn't want to do anything to upset or offend the night god, he was one of the big major gods. So trying to get with his love interest was a huge no-no.

Now, Ritsu was getting lewd invitations to fuck, settle invitations over for tea from the more gentlemenly type, and invites to come over to their place and 'hang out'. Ritsu wasn't an idiot, and politely turned all of them down.

Now, it was December 14th, and still Takano didn't even try to contact him.

It was a rather warm night out, even if it was in December. Ritsu sat amongst the long stalks of green grass, he was just finishing growing the whole meadow. He watched the grass grow, the air of loneliness hanging around him. It took him awhile, but he finally admitted to himself that he actually misses Takano. He missed the dark haired pervert, winning him like a prize over contests with Usami, keeping him company when he's on a night shift, even when he playfully pinching his ass when he wasn't paying attention.

He shook his head to clear it and fell back, watching the stars as they glittered in the night sky, as if they were mocking him. He could almost see Yanase's smirking face, and his voice sing-songing, "I told ya so".

"Rit-chan."

Ritsu was pulled out his thoughts when a familiar voice sang throughout the night. Ritsu sat up and adjusted his toga as he smiled at An Kohinta, who was making her way through the long stalks of grass towards him. She was wearing this long pink dress with flowers in her hair, and where ever she stepped, flowers would bloom instantly, all around her. She was a radiant and intelligant women, the mother of this earth.

"Hey, An-chan," he greeted her with a half hearted smile.

An smiled back at him and sat down cross legged next to him, the flowers blooming right where she sat, the women was like a walking garden.

Ritsu looked down at his feet as the flowers spread all over the place, he looked away, it wasn't anything new.

"You look sad," An reached over and caressed his cheek lightly, "What's wrong Rittie?"

He almost flinched at her touch and bit his lower lip at his childhood nickname, "It's nothing, really," he replied in a grumble, looking down at his feet and stifling another sigh.

"You shouldn't lie to a goddess, Ritsu."

Ritsu sighed and let his shoulders slump forward, he looked at his best friend and admitted in a whisper, "I... Miss him..."

An sighed, this was not news to her, she just wanted him to admit it out loud, "Then why don't you tell him that?"

"Because... I- I crushed him," Ritsu whined, burying his head into his knees, "I completely rejected him and broke his heart, and told him to leave me alone, and I can't just go crawling back, he'd just laugh at me."

"I doubt it, let's face it Ritsu, Takano-san loves you," she assured him with a kind smile, "He just wants to give you some space I'm sure, to see if you would ever come to a decision, why do you think he hasn't gone chasing after some nymphs yet?"

Ritsu rolled his eyes, "Takano doesn't hook up with random tree sluts, that's Haitani's thing," he says matter-of-factly, mentioning the god of death made the ground rumble a bit, and he rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah yeah..."

"Whatever, the point is, you have to get back with him!" she insisted, then leaned in, as if telling him a secret, "Besides, word's spreading around the kingdom that your sister is after him."

"Natsumi?" Onodera gave her a look, before shaking his head, "No offence to her, but Takano would never show any interest in a lower goddess like her, goddesof wheat."

An shrugged, "You care to test that theory?" she raised a brow, "Or will you go and get your man before she tries to?"

Ritsu sucked in a breath.


"You did a nice thing, An-chan," Yanase murmured to his wife a half hour later, in his hands he held a necklace, woven with the finest stars of the night. An was sitting on a tree branch, looking down on him with a soft smile. Yanase jumped up and landed noiselessly on the branch right next to her, he put the necklace around her neck, gently stroking her shoulders as he added, "Takano will thank you for it someday."

"Takano. Thank someone?" An scoffed, "Yeah, that's going to happen."

"Either way," he gave her shoulders a light massage, "You're a great friend," he gave her a kiss to the lips, "And lover."

"Well, if they do get together, I hope that they never lose this happiness..." she leaned her back against Yanase's chest and looked up at the glittering night sky, "If anyone deserves this happiness, it's them..."


Ritsu sucked in a deep breath as he shifted on his feet in front of the door to Takano's place. He was going to do it, finally own up to his feelings and tell the man what he really feels for him. It will be hard to say it, but the truth had to come out eventually.

When he lifted his hand to knock at the door, it swung open before he could knock.

What was revealed behind it made Ritsu want to cry.

Takano was there, his toga dishevieled and barely hanging on his muscular body, his arm was around his sister, Natsumi, who was wearing a white dress and giggling. Though Takano looked more annoyed then happy, he stopped and his eyes widened when he saw Ritsu there, "Ritsu?"

Ritsu stood frozen, his mouth open but no sound escaping. Natsumi gave her brother a smug grin, one hand on her hip as she clung to Takano with one arm.

"I- I'm terribly sorry to interrupt you two... I- I just..." He trailed off and turned away from them, "It wasn't important, bye!" he ran off before Takano could reach out and catch him.

Takano threw Natsumi off him, "Ritsu wait! Let me explain!" he sprinted after him without even a glance back at Natsumi.


What will happen next? :O
