When the song ended everyone burst into applause and cheers, including the gods.

"Thank you so much everyone! The night's still young so please come up here and sing for us!" Akira said before she turned to Yui. "Thank you so much Yui-chan, I'll see you around, alright."

"I thank you as well, Akira-san, bye!" Yui said before she turned around to walk down from the stage.

Now:

As Yui walked down from the stage she noticed the man named Kei, he was waiting for her by the end of the stairs.

"You did very good." He said and smiled at her.

"Thank you." Yui said.

"I just remembered I never asked you what your name was."

"It's Kusanagi Yui."

"Yui, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Oh, about that dance..."

"I'm sorry but I need to go back to my-"

Splash!

All of a sudden, water was dripping down from Kei's hair.

"Ah, sorry, sorry! My hand slipped." Loki said innocently with a grin on his face. In his hand he was holding a now empty mug.

"Loki-san!" Yui said in surprise.

"I-It's alright…" Kei said. "Excuse me, Yui, I need to go find a towel or something. I'll see you around alright."

"Yeah." Yui said.

When Kei was out of sight she turned to Loki. "You didn't have to do that."

"Oh? Did I do something wrong?" Loki asked, he didn't sound very regretful.

Yui sighed. "You didn't have to empty your drink on him… but I guess you save me from having to make something up to make him leave."

Loki smirked and laid an arm around her shoulders. "I'm always going to be there to save you."

"L-Loki-san…"

"Now… Let's dance!" Loki exclaimed and started dragging her away towards the dance floor.

"Loki-san, wait! Don't we have to go back to the others?" Yui asked.

"They can wait, I want you to myself right now." Loki said.

When they stopped in the middle of the dance floor Loki turned around to face Yui, he then held out his hand to her. "May I?"

Yui's eyes met his and she could tell he was serious and wasn't going to embarrass or play a trick on her. "...Yes." She answered with a smile and placed her hand in his.

Loki smirked and pulled her closer to him before he placed his other hand on her waist.

…

"Look over there." Balder said.

The others looked up or turned around and saw Loki and Yui on the dance floor.

"He takes every chance he gets." Takeru said.

"Kusanagi seems to enjoy it." Hades said.

"Do you think she has feelings for him?" Apollon asked.

…

Loki spun Yui around before he pulled her close again. "You have an amazing singing voice." He whispered in her ear.

Yui's eyes widened, she had forgotten that she just minutes ago had been standing on the stage, singing with Akira. "T-Thank you. I wasn't planning on singing but Akira-san asked me to sing with her since she didn't want to do it alone."

"Well, I'm glad you did. We got to see a side of you we have never seen before."

Yui smiled and looked down at the ground. Loki could be really sweet… when he wanted to be. She started to think back on their time at the academy.

Flashback

"You seem awfully out of breath, Kitten."

…

"Sorry I teased you the other day. I'm not good with humans."

…

"Until we graduate… Let's… make lots of memories together."

…

"Balder! Are you sure about this? This isn't what you want! Balder! Isn't she… Isn't Yui special to you? Isn't she important?"

…

"I'll trust you, and explain the situation."

…

"I think I understand why Balder is drawn to you."

…

"Maybe I'll hold hands, too…"

…

"I… never liked you from the beginning. Heh, you know I'm a huge liar, don't you?"

…

"Kusanagi, I believe in you. Leave the rest to me!"

…

"Thanks, Yui."

…

"Kusanagi…"

…

"You know, it isn't very hard to figure out how the others feel about you. But they better be prepared, because they just got competition."

End of flashback

She then realised they had stopped dancing and looked up at her dance partner. "Something on your mind, Kitten?" Loki asked. He was still holding her close.

"Ah, no…" Yui said and broke eye contact.

"Should we go back to the others?" Loki asked.

"Alright." Yui said. 'I wonder if…' She thought.

…

"Here they come." Dionysus said when he saw Loki and Yui coming towards them. Loki was looking pleased for some reason and Yui's face was a little red.

"You seem happy, Loki." Balder said with a smile.

"Of course I am, I got to embarrass that Kei-guy and dance with Kitten." Loki grinned and sat down beside Balder.

"By the way, Kusanagi. You were really good back there." Hades said.

"Than you, Hades-san." Yui said with a smile.

"How come you changed your mind about going up there and sing?" Takeru asked.

"Well, as I told Loki-san, I wasn't planning on doing it but Akira-san came to me and asked if I wanted to sing with her." She explained.

"That was really impressive, Fairy! Really impressive!" Apollon cheered.

"It was." Tsukito agreed.

"You should sing for us again sometime." Balder said.

"Huh?" Yui exclaimed. "You want me to sing again?"

"I wouldn't mind hearing your beautiful voice again." Loki smirked.

"Well, I guess…" Yui said and laughed nervously. "Excuse me everyone, I need to go the bathroom. I'll be right back."

The gods watched Yui as she left for the public bathrooms, when she had disappeared they turned to Loki. "So Loki…" Balder said. "You really do like Yui-san don't you."

"I thought I told you that already." Loki said.

"You did." Thor said.

"Look, Balder, I may be a prankster and a liar but when it comes to Yui, I'm serious." Loki said as he looked his best friend deep in the eye. "If you think I'm going to throw her away when I'm done with her, you're wrong. If Yui wants me... I'm going to give myself to her."

Their eyes widened, they had never seen Loki look so serious before.

"Loki…" Balder said, stunned.

"I'm not saying it's "game over" for the rest of you, but until Yui expresses her feelings, I'm going to be by her side. Questions? No? Good. Come on Balder, let's put up a trap for the next person who's going to sing!" Loki laughed and grabbed Balder's arm.

"W-What? !" Balder exclaimed as he was dragged away.

…

Yui made her way over to the public bathrooms, they were located a bit further away from the stage and the crowd of people. She knew she had to be careful because of the Adlet that was after her but she felt safe as long as she was inside the city and the gods were nearby. "I don't think I have anything to worry about, not while I'm here at least." She whispered to herself.

She didn't take her time in the bathroom, she was starting to feel nervous for some reason and just wanted to go back to her friends. She stepped out of the bathroom and closed the door behind her before she walked over to the sink to wash her hands, when she was done she looked at herself in the mirror in front of her. "Stop it, Yui." She said to herself. "There is no need to be afraid, you just need to go out the door and go back to Lok- your friends!"

She stepped away from the sink and was just going to walk outside when she stopped herself. 'Maybe there is some information or stories about this creature on the internet?' She thought and took out her cellphone. 'If you can find information about gods on the internet, then maybe you can read about Adlets, too?'

She googled the word and soon found something interesting. "The Adlet, a creature from the Inuit mythology of Greenland." She read. "The lower part of the body of the canine Adlet is like that of a dog, their upper part is like a man's. They can run very fast, portrayed as in conflict with humans, bloodthirsty, aggressive, these fierce animals stalk the night, preying on people who wander too far away from the village, they resemble the werewolf in shape, form and behavior. Human-like features such as hands, only with long and sharp claws. Stalk their prey and paralyze it with fear, making them easier to hunt. The prey's death is slow, agonizing and extremely painful… Capable of using some tools, they enjoy meat - especially human flesh and blood, according to legend. Like werewolves, they heal fast and they can only be injured or killed by-"

The door suddenly burst open behind her and the great force made the door slam into the wall of the bathroom. Yui let out a scream and turned around quickly to see what it was.

Cold air filled the room and the wind made the doors to the five different bathrooms tremble and the mirrors above the sinks shake.

"Please, let it be nothing…" Yui whispered to herself and tried to take a look outside to see if anyone was there.

…

"That was mean, Loki." Balder sighed as they walked back to their table. "The poor guy is never going to walk up on a stage again…"

"I thought it looked funny." Loki laughed.

As they came closer to the table they noticed that Yui wasn't back yet.

"Loki-Loki! That was mean! Really mean!" Apollon exclaimed.

"The poor man…" Hades sighed.

"Relax, relax, he's fine! More importantly, why isn't Kitten back yet?" Loki asked.

"Brother and I were just going to go look for her." Takeru said.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Balder said. "The Adlet, what if-"

He didn't get to say anything else before the others suddenly stood up from the table.

…

Yui froze. Something outside was growling but she couldn't see anything. "He-Hello?" She called quietly into the night.

The wind was slowly making the door to the bathroom close but before Yui could even think about moving, a clawed hand suddenly grabbed the door, stopping it from closing. And slowly, in stepped a tall werewolf-like creature on two legs. It's red eyes burned holes in her body and it's long fangs looked like knives that could slice her body into pieces.

The cellphone slowly slipped out of Yui's hands. Paralyzed with fear, she couldn't move. Not even the sound her cellphone made when it hit the floor made her look away from the beast.

The Adlet let out a growl that sounded like "Yui" before it sprinted towards her.

Before Yui could react, the Adlet had her around her neck, and by force, turned her around before it picked her up and pinned her to the wall. Her face was pressed against the mirror above the same sink she just minutes ago had washed her hands in.

The Adlet let out another growl, "Kill."

Yui's eyes widened even more and she let out a scream when the other clawed hand sliced her back. It was painful, blood was spillning out of her and because the beast was holding her around her neck she had a hard time breathing as well.

"Let her go!" Someone shouted.

The beast turned his head to the open door.

"Loki… san…"Yui managed to say before the Adlet threw her across the room and into another wall.

"YUI!" Loki shouted.

The Adlet growled at him, angry because he got interrupted.

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Loki shouted and threw a ball of fire at the creature.

The Adlet dodged it by jumping high into the air and landed outside, right in front of Apollon and the others who were running towards the public bathrooms.

"What the-!" Takeru shouted, startled from the sudden appearance of the Adlet.

Inside the bathroom, Loki had forgotten about the beast and was running to Yui who was lying unconscious on the floor.

"Yui!" He shouted and threw himself on the floor beside her. He put his arms around her and brought her close so that her head was resting against his chest. "Open your eyes! Yui!"

"Loki!" Balder called out as he entered the bathroom.

"She's hurt, we need to get her away from here!" Loki shouted. "Where is the Adlet?"

"It disappeared before we-!" Balder explained but stopped in horror when he noticed how much Yui was bleeding from her back.

"Loki-Loki, where is Fairy! ?" Apollon shouted as he and the others ran inside.

Everyone gasped when they saw Yui.

"We need to get her out of here, now!" Balder said and grabbed a towel from it's hook to stop the bleeding with.

…

Tsukito looked outside, no sign of any humans approaching or the Adlet. "The coast is clear." He said and stepped outside.

While Loki, Balder and Apollon had tried to stop the bleeding, the rest had cleaned up the blood from the floor. They knew that if they left the bathroom with so much blood on the floor, the humans were going to get suspicious and would most definitely want to know what had happened in there.

Loki carried Yui outside and Hades and Thor shielded them so no one would notice them.

"We must bring her to a healer." Dionysus said.

"The Inuit gods, they must know what to do." Balder said. "But we need to transform if we want to bring her there."

"Let's go over there!" Takeru said.

The gang started running from the public square and rounded a corner of a building to hide from the humans wandering eyes.

They changed into their god forms before they disappeared, as if they were never there.

…

"Just where are we going to find a healer? !" Loki shouted.

They were starting to panic, Yui wasn't waking up and she was turning very pale.

"Calm down, Loki. We just need to go-" Balder started.

"Excuse me." A small god with long gray hair pulled back in a ponytale said from behind them. "It seems the human has become a victim of an Adlet." He said.

The gods turned around and looked down at the small god.

"How did you-?" Hades said.

"I can sense it." The god said and started walking towards them.

"Who are you?" Apollon asked.

"My name is Eeyeekalduk, the Inuit god of healing." The older god said.

"Can you heal her?" Takeru asked.

"Yes, but it won't be easy. In the end, it's the human's will to live that will save her. I can cure illnesses by looking someone in the eye, but this is a wound, not an illness. The wounds caused by Adlets are harder to heal and her flesh will rot if we don't hurry so please come with me. I will help this girl."
