Greek Gods and Duel Monsters
Chapter 6: The True Form of the Gods
Zeus' hand traveled up Ishizu's arm and rested on her shoulder. All of her fear disappeared and she looked into his eyes, locked in a gaze. He pulled her closer and placed his other hand at the nape of her neck.
Ishizu responded by wrapping her arms around him as he brought his hands down to her waist. Ishizu felt like she was in a haze. She was comfortable and happy. She felt sexy and confident. She felt desirable.
"You are a goddess indeed. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your skin is soft and smells of lavender. Your hair frames your perfect face like an angel. I can worship these curves in ways no mortal man could. And you've got an arse a god could play with for eons," to emphasize his point, Zeus squeezed her bottom lightly.
Ishizu was lost for words. She could not even think a stray thought. She only felt her legs quiver, her heart race, and her body awaken in response. Ishizu could not pull her eyes away from his as he spoke to her. His voice was smooth but commanding, deep yet caressing.
Zeus began to slowly lead Ishizu back towards the bed. She felt as though she were walking on clouds with the most romantic individual she had ever met. She also felt more confident about herself and her body than she had in a long time.
Ishizu laid down on her bed and invited Zeus to join her. She could not explain the force that led her actions, but she could not bring herself to care.
Just as Zeus leaned down to kiss her, the bedroom door flew open. Odion was standing in the doorway with a dagger in his hand.
At the end of the bed there was another crash as two little girls materialized into the room with a very disgruntled Seto Kaiba. He appeared into the room like he was seated at the time of teleport, but fell to the floor with nothing underneath him.
"What the hell?!" Kaiba yelled as he got to his feet.
"Sister get up!" Odion put the dagger on the dresser and ran towards the bed, but before he reached it one of the girls transformed into an older version of herself. She raised her bow and pulled an arrow aimed at Zeus' face.
"Father! You shame yourself! This woman has done nothing but care for all of us! Do you seek to ruin her life?! What could you possibly gain by making her concieve a child?! Do you not see that she was content before you burdened her?!"
Zeus disappeared for less than a second and reappeared as the baby they had first met. He cried loudly and waved his arms in distraught. Streams of tears ran from his eyes and fell onto the bed.
Kaiba picked up his mouth off the floor and walked over to Ishizu. He pulled her up off the bed and just stared at her.
She swayed slightly and brought a hand to her head. "I'm so dizzy, how did...what happened?"
All eyes in the room fell on the woman holding the bow and arrow pointed at the baby.
"I am Artemis," she spoke up. "I protect the virtue of young women. That is why I am here to save you from the wiles of my father," she held the bow steady, aimed at the infant.
"I am Athena. I am here with my sister in the same capacity. We deeply apologize for our father's behavior. Please understand that it is his nature, much like it is ours to stop him from what he was trying to accomplish," the other twin had changed into a grown woman as well.
"Explain how you all can speak Japanese all of a sudden. This would have been helpful much earlier today," Kaiba spoke up, slightly appalled at the situation to say the least. Here it was Ishizu was about to have sex another man! With Zeus! Who was a baby! What the hell was going on?
Athena addressed him. "By what name shall we call you mortal?"
"Seto Kaiba."
"Seto Kaiba, we are Greek Gods sent here as punishment for our behaviors. My father Zeus is especially at fault. From what I have observed, it seems that whenever my kin find themselves in their niché they revert back to their godly forms and regain their powers. This is only for a short while unfortunately."
"What do you mean?" Odion asked hesitantly.
"I will assume that our father saw the goddess Isis naked. That is how he reverted to his form. My sister Artemis sensed this and brought us here to stop you. In aid of my sister I was able to gain my powers back momentarily."
"What about the others?" Ishizu asked.
"Hades will witness death and have his powers restored. Apollo will see the sun rising and setting and gain back his powers. As for Poseidon, my uncle has no fault in this travesty. However, this curse was meant to effect all Olympians. It is unknown how he will transform or if he can. And Hermes," Athena paused. The look on her face was that of disgust. "If I ever get my hands on that meddling messenger, it will be the end of him."
Athena stopped once more to glare at the infant wailing on the bed. "We have not had the fortune of finding the rest of my kin. I do not know about them. But, to answer your question Seto Kaiba, we are gods. With our powers we can speak with whomever we wish to. We just will it so and we are able to converse with you in your tongue. It is the least of our abilities."
Athena walked to Ishizu and bowed her. "I deeply apologize for what my father has done to you. Please do not cease what it is that you are doing for us. We might be powerful, but I realize that we need your help to fix our current situation."
Ishizu was unsure of what to do. This was a Greek God bowing in front of her. A Greek God! She did not know the proper thing to do. So she just accepted Athena's apology and asked that she get up from the floor.
"I also apologize to you Seto Kaiba. My father has jeopardized your honor. I promise he will not touch your wife in that capacity again."
"What?! No no no. That's not," Kaiba immediately stepped away from Ishizu and put some distance between them. "She's not my wife."
"I'm sorry," Athena tilted her head in confusion. "I assumed from the way you held her and the concern you have for her meant that she was yours."
"What? No. Nonsense. You're wrong."
"Am I? It is clear to me that you love this woman. Why have you not claimed her as your own? Otherwise, it will not only be my father you have to worry about. Other men could come and take her away from you."
"First of all, you all have a lot to learn about our culture. However things happened in ancient Greece or wherever the hell you are from is completely different from how things are done around here," he folded his arms across his chest and glared.
"Culture may change. Human nature does not. That, we have witnessed for ages," Athena challenged.
Ishizu went to pick up the now infant-Zeus. She tried to get him to calm down, although she was a little apprehensive to hold him so close to her chest. Everyone in the room had to shout over his cries. It was annoying.
"Please be careful with our father. You are a very attractive human. He has a weakness for beautiful females. He cannot help himself. You must realize that once he is himself again, he will seduce you again. It is one of his powers. You will not be able to resist him and his seed is potent. He will impregnate you. That is his nature."
"I think I've heard enough," Kaiba interrupted. "Someone else needs to take care of that pervert."
"Be careful mortal," Artemis spoke up, approaching him bow and arrow still in hand. "He may love to chase after women, but he is still our father and the ruler of us all. You must show him respect. Because while he does love women, he does not want to see men like you interfere. And any threat he perceives he eliminates. You are mortal, do not think you can stand up to Zeus. What right have you to judge the God of Gods?!"
"One of your freaks found my brother today," he said matter-of-factly. "And by the looks of it, I have every right."
"We need to see them at once!"
"I'm out of here," Kaiba turned to leave through the bedroom door. "I've reached my quota for magic mumbo jumbo today. I'm going home."
"Kaiba wait," Ishizu called out, running after him. When she reached the living room, she made sure she was out of earshot of the others.
"I did not do that on purpose, I was not myself. I feel ashamed," she felt shy in front of him. Who knew what was going through his head at the moment?
"You shouldn't be. Why would I care?"
"You're right," Ishizu said guarding her feelings. "I forgot you cared for no one but yourself." She brought the baby closer to her and turned her shoulder slightly out of instinct.
Kaiba scoffed. "You obviously have no idea what you are talking about," he looked down at the child in her arms. "What are you going to do with that?" Kaiba asked pointing at Zeus who had quieted down only moments earlier.
"Zeus will be fine here."
"It's not him that you should be concerned about," he was not comfortable with the fact that a shapeshifting pervert would be sleeping in the same house as Ishizu.
"What alternative is there? Do you want to take him home?" She didn't wait for him to answer. "I did not think so. I see that you've got a handle on those two girls in there," she said sarcastically.
"What do you propose then?" Kaiba challenged.
"We all need to stay together in one place. You are the only one with the capacity to do so. I promise I will be able to get this done faster if I have everyone under one roof," Ishizu said pleading. When Kaiba remained silent she continued. "I realize that this is inconveniencing the great and powerful Seto Kaiba, but I ask him for a little bit of patience. Who knows? He might find himself liking the inconvenience more times that not."
"Hmm, is that a promise Miss Ishtar?" he inched closer, dropping his voice low.
"We need you," she said seriously. "Can you help these poor souls? They are the result of an unfortunate event, but you can be their saving grace. Not to mention it would not hurt your karma to do something nice for a change."
I am estatic that you all have been enjoying the story so far. You will notice that I have replaced the previous chapters with the edited versions. Thank you to The Duelist's Heiress for pointing it out. I stay busy with school and life, etc. but whenever you all post a review or favorite/follow it gives me new motivation to write another chapter.
Please Review. I am not posting another chapter until I receive a review. (This always sounds so demanding and harsh :/ what I mean is giving me a review means that I will not abandon this story and will most likely write another chapter :)
