The next morning, Kuroko had gotten up early and walked out of his shrine. The 3 gods were still sleeping, for it was way to early for them to rise from their slumber. Kuroko had to move Kise and Kagami out of the way, because it was time for cleaning up. Kise and Kagami were too tired to get up. All 3 gods had battled for a few days with no sleep.
"Kise and Kagami. Will you move please?" Kuroko asked politely.
Kise woke up and dragged Kagami towards the shrine. Aomine had already arisen from his sleep a long time ago and was perched on top of Kuroko's shrine. Kuroko held his broom tightly and started to sweep. Aomine stared at the exorcist and then jumped a bit in shock. Where did the exorcist go? Aomine looked from side to side, still unable to find Kuroko when he realized that he was thinking of the measly human. He only met him for half a day and he was already thinking of some low-life human.
"Excuse me." Aomine heard from behind him.
Aomine jumped. It was Kuroko. He was climbing on the ladder to clean the roof of his shrine, "May I clean this?" Kuroko asked.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ASKING ME?! THIS IS YOUR HOME!" Aomine yelled for he was pretty surprised.
"Well," Kuroko replied, "you're on it and I was wondering if I could have your permission to clean it since I didn't want to trouble you."
Kuroko tried to clean every inch of the rooftop, but nearly fell off the ladder a few times. This made Aomine mad and he used his powers to transform into a human, but he still had his wings. He was pretty mad at Kuroko, because he fell a lot and Aomine ended up having to save him a couple of times. Aomine snatched the wet towel from Kuroko's hands and started to scrub. The stench was so bad that Aomine started cursing at Kuroko for making him clean up the rooftop.
"Why am I doing this for him anyways?" Aomine grumbled angrily.
"Whoa!" Another voice came from behind. It was Kise, "You're actually doing what the human says!" Kise laughed.
Aomine twitched and threw the wet towel at Kise's beautiful face, "WILL YOU SHUT UP?! WHO SAID I WAS DOING ANYTHING FOR THAT LOW-LIFE?!"
Kise got down from the ladder and transformed into a human, but his 9 tails were still visible. His face was still drenched. He walked up to the young exorcist and smiled, "Is there anything I can be of help to you?"
Kuroko was a bit surprised, "You're kind."
Kise blushed at him, "W-well...You did let us sleep here when I was extremely exhausted." Kise started to scratch the back of his head.
Aomine yelled from up top, "Hey, human! I'm done!" Then jumped from the rooftop and landed on the tree nearby and nestled in to take his nap.
Kise was sent to the forest to pick some firewood, when Kagami had just awoken. Kuroko petted Kagami and smiled at him. The white tiger god was completely exhausted from the fight with the tengu and 9-tailed fox. He smelled something sweet and opened his eyes. Kuroko jumped a little, because Kagami almost pounced on him.
"S-sorry." Kagami told Kuroko.
In the end everyone had cleaned up the shrine as quickly as possible. Kise returned with the firewood he carried on his back as the 9-tailed fox and then transformed into a human.
"Kurokocchi! I'm done!" Kise pounced at Kuroko and gave him a hug.
"T-thank you, Kise-kun." Kuroko realized what he had said and apologized. Kise was a god and not a human, but Kise didn't mind it. He had quite a bit of adventure in the forest.
Once everyone had finished, Kuroko treated all the gods over to some human food. The pork meat sizzled in the kitchen and the 3 gods started to drool. It was the most delicious smelling thing they had ever smelled. Kuroko gave some fried tofu, one of the 9-tailed foxes favorite dishes, as thanks for bringing a bundle of wood back. The tengu and white tiger envied at this and asked Kuroko to make their favorite dishes, almost fighting to get Kuroko's attention. Kuroko chuckled a bit, which made both of them mad.
After eating, the cold had begun to roll in. The freezing winter breezed on by and Kuroko shivered. Kise wrapped the human in his tails and smiled. Kuroko smiled and slept in Kise's warm fur. Aomine had gotten down from the tree, the cold wind blew on the tree that it froze. He looked up to see Kise and Kuroko sleeping next to each other. Aomine climbed in and slept. Kagami was busy cleaning the dishes and returned to see all 3 of them still sleeping. Kagami pushed all of them into the closest room so that Kuroko wouldn't freeze and slept alongside all of them.
