A Mortal Infatuation
Chapter Three: A Father's Wisdom
It had been millennium's since the gates of his domain had opened for a mere mortal soul. A command placed long ago by his father, one that he had the sense to adhere to even after he had devoured his being. He should had suspected trouble when that bothersome Gatekeeper Oha Asa had abandoned her post; leaving the passage between the human world and his own unmonitored. It was a slight oversight on his behalf but he would be sure to ensure a punishment befitting should the gatekeeper be brainless enough to reappear. For now the appearance of the mortal should have his fullest attention.
"Akashi-kun"
He turned his head slightly towards the cyan haired deity, implying his attention.
"Aomine-kun has not yet arrived"

The cyan haired deity-Tetsu-allowed only a subtle flicker of a frown to cross his expressionless face; a movement Akashi's sharp eyes did not fail to register, before retreating to the corner of the room and awaiting the arrival of the mortal. It was not long a wait, and Akashi felt the unusual presence long before it was escorted into his throne room by Shintarō and Ryōta.
Standing between the two taller Gods, a female mortal, the first of which he had ever encountered. She was not at all of the kind of breathtaking beauty that accompanied most deities, nor of the feminine allure which graced the familiar Momoi. Yet the God of Creation paused to devour the sight of her.
And his ancient heart squeezed when she made no attempt to disguise her obvious attraction to his god gifted looks.
And when she spoke he would never again hear an instrument play a more beautiful sound.
And when she met his eyes he was ready to forfeit his immortal soul...
And only then did he truly understand the seriousness of his father's order regarding the gate, and the gravity of his world's current predicament. A mortal was a dangerous being.
And they were all very unsafe
