Of Heaven and hell
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and its characters or certain places of Greek/Roman mythology mentioned in the story. I do own the plot and everything else.
The world was divided into two divinity realms, places where Gods lived. The divinity realm is divided into the up-dwellers and down-wielders, also known as those who live in Olympus and those who live in the Underworld. There have always been tension and discrimination between the two realms but can one Goddess change that?
Chapter 3: Other side
The palace was quiet as usual, the members of the family were in each of their spots in the living room doing what they usually do, in the same space but disconnected from one another.
The family room's detail was exquisite, black and white pristine marble flooring, white fur rug, black diamond chandelier, and beautiful family portraits all over the walls .
The furniture were all crafted from expensive age old dark wood that had beautiful gold leaves. The room had 5 occupants, a middle aged woman, a middle aged man, and 3 young adult males.
The woman was rearranging her books as she hummed to the tune that was being played in the room. The middle aged man was reading reports on his kingdom. The eldest of the young adults was playing the piano, the middle child was reading, and the youngest was on the couch scowling.
"Knock knock" was heard on the grand dark mahogany door that was adorned with golden decals. It had the popular Uchiwa fan encrusted with gems and white gold.
"You may enter" a melodious feminine voice echoed in the silent room. The voice came from a stunning woman, she had skin as white as snow, raven hair that was straight and thick, aristocratic features similar to those around her, and the signature ruby eyes. She looked fierce yet gentle.
"A letter came for the young masters" The servant who was knelt on the floor who do not dare look up held the letter up.
The woman walked towards the servant, every step looked more graceful than the other. The 4 others in the room watched as she took the letter from the servant and smile kindly.
"Thank you Sari, you may leave" the woman murmured and waved goodbye to the servant. The invitation was beautifully made, it was in a crisp white envelope with splotches of pastel paint and written in molten gold in a beautiful style of calligraphy was their family's name. 'Uchiha'. The envelope smelt like jasmine and sakura blossoms, it was enticing and it reminded the woman of spring.
"It's a privilege Lady Mikoto!" Sari exclaimed and bowed before dashing out to fulfill other chores in the splendid mansion.
The woman opened the letter and read through it. A wide smile slowly adorning her beautiful features, she gasped and her hand shot straight to her mouth in surprise.
"What is it, Love?" A male appeared by her side, his dark hair quite disheveled, and his eyes are blazing rubies. He looked over her shoulder and saw what was written on the invitation.
The three younger men watched their mother like she had grown another head, she giggled like a teenage girl and hopped around. It was peculiar to them. The jest in their mother's twinkling eyes was a wonderful and refreshing change for them, all they saw her show before was maturity and being a demure matriarch, this was something.
"Oh my! You've gotten invited to a banquet! Isn't this wonderful Fugaku!?" She exclaimed and clapped her hands in excitement. She skipped to her sons and placed the exquisitely made invitation on their coffee table.
"A banquet?" A male with spiky raven hair and onyx eyes asked. He had the same aristocratic features but a softer jaw than the others in the room. He was the spitting image of his mother yet he was not close to her personality at all. They have always called him her male version, he was nonetheless handsome through his softer features.
"Yes, sasu-chan! A banquet. Where you eat and dance and socialize!" Mikoto smiled brightly at her youngest son. She watched him roll his eyes at her and ignored her son's rude demeanor.
"I know what a banquet is, mother" Sasuke openly scowled at his mother and was waved off by his father who was still reading his reports but listening intently to the talk of the event.
"Do not patronize your mother" Fugaku scolded his youngest.
"Soooo where is this party?" A male with shaggy raven hair and a lopsided smile asked. His eyes remained a dark coal in colour. He was the only smiling one in the room aside from his mother, he was the spitting image of his father but his smile was definitely his mother's. It has always been a family joke about him that he was adopted due to him being to happy and carefree to be an Uchiha but being the exact image of his father.
"It's in the Spring Palace!" Mikoto exclaimed excitedly as she sat down to her books to look for photos of the Spring Palace. She pulled out a huge and old photo album and scanned through it.
"Doesn't it seem like trap" an older male with prominent frown lines, long soot coloured hair tied into a low ponytail, and similar crimson orbs to the other inhabitants of the room. He was the perfect mix of his mother and father but he was more like his father's son, quiet and soft-spoken.
"Hn" Fugaku agreed and nodded.
"They wouldn't do it and can you just all be excited like Shisu-chan!" Mikoto frowned as she raised up the book and showed the beautiful white palace and a lot of lush flowering plants.
"Come on boys! Let's go pick your suits!" Mikoto dragged her sons towards their rooms and picked each one a suit.
She took out an elegant suit for each of her three sons. A navy blue and black pairing for her youngest, a grey and black for her middle child, and a black and red for her oldest. Mikoto loved the idea of hee boys meeting the wonderful and vibrant friends she used to have in Olympus before she married their father.
"Mother, I look like a dobe in this" Sasuke scowled as he slowly turned around in his navy ensemble. It undeniably looked good on him which troubled his mother as to why he thought he looked foolish in such.
"Language" Fugaku scolded. Shisui in his black and red tuxedo just checked himself out while Itachi just looked down on his suit and dusted off any sort of lint.
It "What do you think of your suit, Ita-chan? Shisu-chan?" Mikoto looked hopefully at her two older sons.
"I think you chose well mother, maybe a little alteration to make the fit better?" Itachi turned and showed where the alterations he wanted. It was a bit loose in the waist area and the buttons looked too low which Mikoto totally understood her perfectionist middle child but glad that he cared enough to look great for the banquet.
"Shisu-chan?" Mikoto looked at her eldest. Who was donning a shiny black tuxedo with a crimson longsleeved polo under it with the top 3 buttons unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up. The fit and cut were perfect and it complimented his colouring quite well.
"It's perfect mother, I look damn hot in these" Shisui smirked at himself in the mirror.
"Oh yes dear! You do look very dapper, such a handsome boy" Mikoto squealed at her eldest's enthusiasm.
The entire day was used for their mother talking to them about how beautiful and grand the Spring Palace. She smiled as they all tried to look like they cared about what their mom blabbed about for hours. She talked about her studies and her friends who all seemed like a bright headache to them.
"I bet you guys would make so much friends in Olympus! My bestfriends live there, Tsunade-chan and Inoichi-kun! I do hope you guys meet their beautiful daughters" Mikoto sighed as she gazed into her book of pictures.
"This is a good chance to form alliances, boys. It's wise to find strong alliances, I heard that there are plenty of strong deities that will attend, it would be wise for you to find suited acquaintances" Fugaku lectured his boys.
"That's your dad's way of telling you guys to go and make lots of friends" Mikoto giggled as she she patted her husband's shoulder.
"We are not children" Sasuke sulked as he folded his arms in front of his chest.
"We will make sure to uphold the family's name" Itachi bowed respectively at his parents and proceeded into his room.
"I'll say 'Hi' to Auntie Tsunade and Uncle Inoichi for you, mom" Shisui checked himself once again and kissed Mikoto's cheek before he walked into his room.
"I hope Sasu-chan and Ita-chan can get loose and have fun like Shisu-chan." Mikoto sighed as she looked at the doorway.
"They aren't built alike dear, but I do hope they find some good music friends in the banquet." Fugaku smiled at his hopeful wife.
"I'm gonna see you soon, Goddess of Love" a raven haired God whispered to the wind.
