Previously:
"I admit, the heat and the wound are killing me, and I took it out on her." She said.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Kusanagi." Hades said.
"Yeah, that Gina-girl was really mean to you. It's only natural you got mad at her." Takeru said.
"We should have defended you as well, we're sorry, Fairy." Apollon apologized.
"I thought you were awesome!" Loki exclaimed cheerfully.
Now:
Yui turned around and looked at Loki in confusion.
"You have a scary side and you won't take shit from anyone." He smirked. "I'm glad we got to see that side of you as well.
Yui's eyes widened in surprise and she started blushing.
"Well then, if we're done here, I would really like to go to the beach now." Dionysus said.
"Sounds good." Takeru said.
"Y-Yeah, let's go." Yui said.
…
Once they were at the beach, Apollon and Balder walked ahead of the others to find a shady place for Yui.
"It feels like we've been walking for hours." Takeru complained.
"It's been 5 minutes." Tsukito pointed out.
"How far did Apollon and Balder-san go exactly?" Dionysus asked.
"We better catch up to them soon, Kitten is getting pale." Loki said.
"I am?" Yui asked.
"You are. Want me to carry you?" Loki asked, smirking.
"I-I'm fine." Yui stuttered.
"I won't try anything, I said I'd give you time, remember?"
"B-But…" Yui said as she felt her cheeks burning.
"Hop on." Loki grinned.
…
Yui blushed as people at the beach looked at them as they passed. She was on Loki's back, who by the way looked very pleased for some reason, and tried to ignore all the stares she got.
"Mom, why is he carrying that girl?" Yui heard a kid ask.
"I don't know, maybe she's tired." The mother answered.
"There they are!" Takeru suddenly exclaimed when he saw Apollon and Balder running towards them.
"We found a nice spot for, Fairy!" Apollon called.
"Well it's about time!" Loki shouted. "Kitten got tired, you know." He added.
"She did?" Balder asked. "Sorry it took so long, Yui-san."
"Oh it's alright!" Yui smiled. "I feel better now."
…
Once they reached the place Apollon and Balder had found, Loki put Yui down in the sand. "That wasn't so bad, was it?" He grinned.
"I guess not." Yui smiled and looked away.
Loki looked through the bag they had brought with them to the beach and took out a towel. "Here." He said as he held it out for her to take.
"Thank you." Yui said and took it from him.
"Fairy! Over here, over here!" Apollon called. Where the sand met the grass stood a few trees that would provide shadow for Yui. "The sun can't reach you here!" He added.
"Thank you, Apollon-san!" Yui called back and walked over to him.
She laid the towel underneath the tree and sat down on it. She watched as the others took their clothes off and revealed their swimming trunks underneath. "We're going for a swim now, Fairy. We can take turns to watch you as well." Apollon said.
Yui knew what he meant by "watch", they were afraid the Adlet would attack her again, and so was she. "If it's not too much trouble, I don't want to ruin your fun." Yui said.
"You're not ruining anything, Yui-san. We came here to be with you didn't we." Balder said with a smile.
"I can stay with Kusanagi Yui, I don't feel like swimming right now." Tsukio said.
"Thank you, Tsukito-san." Yui smiled.
"Alright! Let's go drown some humans!" Loki exclaimed and ran towards the water.
"What? !" Balder exclaimed. "No, Loki, wait!" He called as he ran after him.
…
Yui and Tsukito were watching as the gods turned the beach into a war zone. They had teamed up with at least 10 young human men to play a game. It seemed innocent enough, throwing a small ball between each other, but of course, the peace didn't last for long. There are two teams, the team who has the ball is suppose to throw it to one of his teammates while the other team tries to take it from them. And the ball can't touch the water, if it does, then it's the other team's turn.
"I said I saw it touch the water!" Takeru shouted.
"You must be blind then!" A human man shouted back.
"I'm with him, the ball was clearly not touching the water." Loki said with a grin, he was obviously lying.
"Stop cheating, the ball touched the water!" Another human man yelled.
"Hey, let's just throw frisbee instead…" Another suggested.
"Yeah…" Hades and Thor agreed.
But of course, playing something else didn't change their attitude towards each other…
"Ouch! Damn it, Loki!" Takeru shouted after being hit in the head by the frisbee.
"Ah, sorry, sorry! My hand slipped." Loki grinned.
"I'll kill you!" Takeru shouted and started chasing a laughing Loki.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" The humans called after them.
Yui laughed nervously. "They're at it again…"
"I expected this. That's why I didn't want to go into the water." Tsukito said.
"Take-Take!" "Loki!" Apollon and Balder shouted after their friends.
…
"Sorry about this." Hades said to some of the humans.
"Oh it's alright, they're making this day very interesting!" One of the human males said. "By the way, that girl over there. Is she with you? I think I saw you coming here with her."
Hades, Thor and Dionysus followed his gaze and saw Yui and Tsukito sitting underneath the trees. "She is, why?" Dionysus said.
"She's really cute, does she have a boyfriend?"
The three gods looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Well, no, but-" Dionysus said.
"That's all I needed to know." The man said.
"Hades-san, Dionysus-san, Thor-san!" Yui called. "Tsukito-san and I are just going to buy drinks for us all, we'll be right back!"
"Alright!" Hades called back. "Be careful, Kusanagi-san!" Dionysus added.
"I will!" Yui answered before she and Tsukito left to find the snack bar.
…
Tsukito-san, I can carry one if you want." Yui said.
Tsukito was carrying two heavy bags filled with drinks and some snacks. "It's alright, I can carry them both." He answered.
"But it looks heavy." Yui said.
"It will be bad for your wound if you carry heavy things." Tsukito pointed out.
"But still…" Yui said. "You're wobbling."
"It's not a problem." Tsukito said. "We're almost there." He added.
"Hello." A voice said.
Yui and Tsukito looked to the side and saw the young man Hades, Dionysus and Thor had been talking to earlier. He was as tall as Apollon and had short black, almost blue, hair and brown eyes.
"Hello?" Yui said as the man stepped closer to them.
"Sorry to interrupt but you're friends with Hades and the others, right?"
"That's right, are you one of those who played with them earlier?" Yui asked.
"I am and I must say they're a really interesting bunch of people. Anyway, I just wanted to meet you, I'm Eito by the way. Do you mind if I accompany you back?"
"Oh, not at all." Yui said.
"Great! Oh, and one more thing, why aren't you wearing a bikini or a swimsuit? It's pretty hot today."
"Well, I-" Yui said and tried to figure out what excuse she could use.
"Kusanagi Yui is hurt and the wound needs to be covered." Tsukito said.
"You're hurt?" Eito asked.
"Well, umm.." Yui said.
"So don't touch her back, it will hurt her even more." Tsukito said.
"T-Tsukito-san, you don't have to tell him…"
"How bad is it?" Eito asked.
"It's nothing serious." Yui laughed nervously.
"She almost died." Tsukito said.
Yui sweat dropped.
…
The gods had all gathered underneath the trees to dry off as they waited for Yui and Tsukito to come back. "They have been gone for a while now." Balder said.
"Should we go look for them?" Apollon said.
"We can't assume something bad has happened every time." Dionysus said.
"I'm sure Kusanagi is alright, Tsukito is with her." Hades said.
Kitten sure likes to take her sweet time." Loki sighed and laid down in the sand.
"Anyway, did anyone see where that man went? Eito I think his name was." Dionysus said.
"No, why?" Balder asked.
"He seemed rather interested in Kusanagi-san." Dionysus said.
"Huh? Another one? !" Takeru exclaimed. "Just how many of the human bastards are after her?"
"We can't really blame them, can we? She's very cute after all. And besides, most of us have fallen for her as well, haven't we?" Balder said.
Before anyone could say anything, Yui, Tsukito and Eito came into view. "Finally, I'm thirsty- !" Takeru said before he noticed the young man walking beside Yui.
"Oh, so that's where he was..." Dionysus said.
"We're back!" Yui said cheerfully.
"We bought many drinks." Tsukito said and put the bags down in the sand. "They were heavy."
"Tsukito-san, I told you I could carry one, remember?" Yui said.
"But that wouldn't be good for your back, right?" Eito said.
"How do you know about Yui-san's condition?" Balder asked.
"Tsukito told me." Eito said.
The gods looked at Tsukito. "Did he now?" Takeru said between his teeth.
"He told me Yui-chan had hurt her back and that the wound has to be covered." Eito explained.
The gods sighed in relief, they thought Tsukito had told this stranger about how Yui really got the wound.
"I have to go back to my friends now but I hope to see you again soon, Yui-chan." Eito said.
"Oh, umm…" Yui said, unsure how to respond to that.
"See ya! Eito called as he walked away from the group to join his friends further down the beach.
The gods looked after him before they turned to look at Yui. "When did you meet him?" Balder asked.
"He walked up to us when we were on our way back here. He said he wanted to meet me, I don't know why though." Yui explained.
"Isn't this just great! ? Another guy is after her!" Takeru shouted.
"Take-Take, calm down." Apollon said.
"Why should I! I'm getting tired of this! Not only do we have to protect the weak Weed from a bloodthirst Adlet, we have to protect her from human bastards as well!"
"Takeru-san…" Yui said.
"And you!" Takeru shouted and pointed a finger at her. "Are you so blind and dense you can't see when a guy is interested in you? That Eito-guy clearly wanted something from you!"
"Take-Take!" "Takeru-san!" "Takeru!" Apollon, Balder and Hades shouted.
"You really are a pain in the ass, Weed. Can't even tell a guy off, always so freaking nice to others, stubborn and weak." Takeru hissed.
The rest of the gods sat with their mouth open and eyes wide, they couldn't believe that Takeru just had said something like that to her.
It was quiet for a few seconds before Yui spoke, "E.. Excuse me…" She whispered and turned around to leave as tears started to run down her cheeks.
"Fairy!" "Yui-san!" "Kusanagi!" "Kusanagi-san!" Apollon, Balder, Hades and Dionysus called after her.
"Fairy, wait!" Apollon called, almost in panic, as he stood up from the sand.
But Yui started running instead, the best she could anyway, the pain in her back slowed her down a little.
"Takeru-san! Why did you say something so awful to her! ?" Balder shouted.
"I-I…" Takeru said, only now realising what he had done.
"Totsuka Takeru, that was really unnecessary." Tsukito said.
"Brother…" Takeru said.
"Taking out your anger on Kusanagi like that…" Hades said.
"None of this is Fairy's fault, if we weren't by her side, the Adlet wouldn't want to kill her and she wouldn't have to suffer the way she is." Apollon said.
"Yeah…" Thor agreed.
"I-I know… I know I shouldn't have said what I said. I let my jealousy take over… I'm going to apologize to her." Takeru said.
"Good, but we need to go after her." Balder said. "We can't leave her alone in that state."
"She ran that way." Dionysus said.
"Let's go everyone, let's go!" Apollon said.
"Wait, where is Loki?" Hades asked.
"Loki?" Balder said and looked around for his friend.
