Where is my heaven? -Chapter 4

Takeru POV

That was a damn shitty day. It started out just fine, after Kusanagi had led us to her school. It was rather small compared to the academy, but so was everything, so Takeru decided not to dwell on that. Still he really wanted to have a word with Zeus, that old fart, who had decided to give them this crappy home. He did not like people being close to him and invading his private space.

Maybe that was because he did not trust people, he knew, that people didn´t trust him and he simply developed the policy – Do not disturb me, and I won´t disturb you (violently).

That always worked out for him. He did make an exception with his brother Tsukito, whom he loved very deeply. But he hated being on such a close room with all these guys. Yes, he had decided, that they were not as bad, as he had first thought, but some of them definitely still needed a beating, to become the kind of people, he liked to talk to. Loki especially seemed to beg for someone to smack his stupid head against a wall. Made of bricks. Very hard bricks.

Imagining doing just that, calmed his nerves a little bit and he grinned satisfied. He didn´t necessarily want to sabotage this thing, after all he did get to see Yui again. Losing her had made his chest hurt. A weird pain, unlike anything he had ever felt before. It still irritated him.

Just like the way he sometimes felt the urge to smile like an idiot, when she looked at him, or smiled at him, or talked to him, or-! Takeru shook his head violently, blushing furiously. What the hell was wrong with him?! That damn Loki must be playing tricks on him again! Angrily he watched the Trickster God with eagle eyes, but the latter didn´t seem to concern himself with Takeru, he just talked with his friend Balder, doing weird faces and laughing about something.

,,Takeru, is something troubling you?", the low voice of his brother brought him back to his senses. ,,Yui-san declared, that we should go to the head of this school and introduce ourselves." Takeru blinked, but nodded quickly. ,,Yeah, I got it! Let´s do this!"

He noticed, that Yui seemed a little bit worried. On the way to the school, she had given all of them lunch and some advice. Her advice for him, simply contained a carefully phrased warning, to not lose his head too quickly and to not fight with Loki if possible.

Takeru scoffed. ,,Don´t worry, Weed! We ain´t getting ourselves in trouble that fast! Trust us!" Her face brightened up and she smiled at him. ,,Takeru-san..." , Yui sounded grateful. ,,Uhm... Do you maybe want to train with me later?" Surprised he turned around, his heart beating faster. Ugh, he hated that. ,,Sure. If I feel like it." He shrugged, as if it was no big deal, but he could feel his brothers calculating glance. Yui nodded. ,,Okay! I´m looking forward to it!" , she smiled. ,,Brother, we have to go. The others are already ahead of us.", Tsukito informed him. ,,Ah! Right!" Takeru quickly gathered himself and went on. ,,Bye Weed!" Yui couldn´t be with them, since she had to go to her own classes. Still she stood there, until she could no longer see them.

The other gods had already entered the director´s chamber, when they caught up with them. Thor still stood outside, holding open the door for them. ,,You might want to hurry next time." , he added, when Takeru and Tsukito slipped inside. Takeru gave him an annoyed glance. ,,We made it in time, didn´t we?" ,,Shhhh!" ,Apollon silenced him with a gesture, his green eyes wide open. Obviously he wanted to make a good impression. What a nerd. Takeru rolled his eyes, but kept quiet, as the director, a tall man in his thirties entered the room. He wore a nice blue suit and looked calm and collected.

Takeru couldn´t help but to compare him to Zeus, their former headmaster. Pff. That mortal paled in comparison to that moody, angry, unforgiving god. He wondered, what the man would do if he showed him his true powers right here and now. Probably panicking and screaming. He grinned. Nope, he definitely wasn´t a Zeus. Still the others listened attentively and made notes. Well, his brother made notes at least. He always wrote down everything he had heard. Takeru carefully watched his brother´s notes, trying to get, what the guy had just told them. ,,You are dismissed. Please go to your new classes. Awashiko-Sensei will guide you."

Damn. He hadn´t heard one word. The others raised from their seats and bowed their heads. Takeru copied their movements quickly and went out of the room right behind Tsukito. ,,What´s going on now, Ani?" , he asked him. His brother stared at him, with his neutral golden eyes. ,,I have made perfect notes of what this man has said... but I failed to realize, what you will have to do now. You are in a different class than me after all." ,,What?!"

The others stared at him judgmentally. Opps, he had been a little bit to loud. Still he was upset. How dare they separate him and his brother?!

Even Zeus would have never dared to do that! Was that man delusional?! As if he was gonna go to another class than his brother!

Loki must have guessed his thoughts, because he was suddenly right next to him and whispered. ,,Don´t be disappointed~ We´re still together!" His grin was malicious. Damn that Trickster! He was just about to shout, when he felt a cold hand on his arm. ,,Do you want to cause all of us misfortune? Don´t disappoint Kusanagi-san! She´s counting on you!" , Hades' sharp voice caused Takeru to feel guilty. He didn´t want to disappoint Yui! Wasn´t he the one, who had told her, that everything was gonna be alright? No use crying now! He just had to pull through this pile of shit.

And it was a lot of shit! First off, they were separated. Takeru had to join Loki, Balder and Thor, while Apollon, Dyonisous, Hades and his brother were in another class. Grumbling he followed the three Norse gods to the class room. It was really unfair, that only he and Tsukito had to split up, while all the other gods stayed together in their groups. But he had agreed to not make a big fuss about it, so he remained quiet but angry.

As soon as they entered the class, everyone's eyes were focused on Balder, who smiled his friendly smile, charming not only every girl in the class, but the boys as well. Oh Dear. Seeing Loki´s eyes narrow with jealousy made up for that though. Thor, as always, remained neutral and silent the whole time, while the teacher introduced them to the class.

Finally they could sit down. Takeru could still hear the excited chatter of the humans, as he walked up to his seat. One guy even tried to trip him.

He almost fell, but caught himself, looking at the guy angrily. He was just about to explode with rage, when he heard Thor clear his throat, making him turn around. Everyone was staring at him, some excited, some laughing and some with pitiful glances. The teacher was just trying to regain control of the class again, but had a hard time. Takeru took a deep breath and finally sat down.

He hated this people already.

Honestly, he had imagined all of them to be like Yui, as he didn´t have any contact with humans at all, until he met her. She had proven to him, that she was trustworthy and he had thought, that his misconceptions about humans were wrong. Obviously Yui was an exception and all his prejudices were true. Well, if that was the case... These humans would find out the hard way, that he was not someone to meddle with!
