DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN KAMIGAMI NO ASOBI IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM

Umeko, Yui and Hades were all quite as they drove home to the hotel. Hades kept his arm around Yui's shoulder while holding tight to Umeko's hand.

Their friends all sat around on the different seats not saying much either.

Most had looks of seriousness on their faces, while Takeru had a look of remorse and Loki had a look of thoughtfulness, stroking his face.

"Hades, what are you doing thinking about?" Balder asked after a while.

"Hmm, nothing in particular," said Loki.

"You better not be thinking of something evil Loki," Balder said in warning tone.

"Please , I never do anything truly evil. My pranks just get a little out of hands at time, that's all," Loki insisted.

"Right," said Balder, clearly not believing him.

Loki smirked before returning to his look of thoughtfulness.

'So, the kid's technically completed two trials. Hopefully that means one less god she has to risk pissing off,' he thought.


When the family of three finally made it to their suite, they all stumbled in, shaking off the extra water they still had on their person.

"Umeko, let's get you out of these clothes now!" Yui insisted, trying to pull Umeko to the bathroom, "their soaking!"

"You're wetter than I am Mom," Umeko reminded her.

"Yes, but I'm the mother in this situation, and a mother's job is always to tend to her daughter!" Yui said sternly, throwing a towel over Umeko's head and drying her off frantically.

However, Yui was soon surprised when a towel was thrown over her head.

"And a husband's job is to care for his wife," she heard Hades say from behind.

"Thank you Hades," Yui said calmly.

Umeko wasn't sure, but she could have sworn she heard a slight bitterness in her mom's voice in thanking her father.

Hades seemed to pick it up too because next thing Umeko and Yui knew, Hades moved over to the bathtub and starting the water.

"Umeko, take a bath and then go to bed. I'm sure you've had a very long day," he said, "come Yui, we should bathe too."

"Sure," said Yui. She kissed the top of her daughter's head before she and Hades walked out of the bathroom.

'I hope Mom and Dad are okay,' Umeko thought.


Hades tried taking Yui's hand as they walked to their private bathroom.

Yui didn't seem to react as he did. If anything she was practically a walking zombie.

When they got to the bathroom, Hades made sure the doorwas shut tight before he started helping to take off Yui's clothes.

"You really okay after everything that happened?" Hades asked as he pulled off some more clothes.

"Hmm, I supposed I'll survive knowing Persephone was following us all day," Yui said softly.

"I meant you nearly drowning," Hades said.

"Oh, yeah that too," said Yui. She was caught off guard by a sudden kiss on her neck, followed by one on her shoulder.

"I've told, haven't I?" Hades whispered as he kissed her some more, "I've given up on her, I gave her up a long time ago. You're the only woman for me now, mortal or immortal or otherwise."

"It's just hard knowing she doing things like that," Yui said softly.

"I agree, and it worse with my bad luck," Hades said, "but I did promise you didn't I? I made a very sacred oath about it. You are and forever will be the only one for me."

Yui moaned as Hades laid more kisses across her body.

"Hades, we should really try bathing before we get sick," she said after a while. Hades quickly stopped the kisses.

"Right," he said, "I'll leave you alone for now then."

However he was stopped by Yui grabbing his hand.

"Hades, when I said we, I really meant we, as in together," she said with an evil laugh.

"Oh, right," said Hades, letting Yui pull him towards the bathtub.


Umeko walked back to her room with a bathrobe, and a towel draped around her neck.

'Man what a day,' she thought, 'starting out with stealing from Apollo and then saving my parents and who knows how many others. At least I managed to help others.' She hurried to her room and switch on the TV, flipping through the channels for a news program of sorts.

"Ah-ha," she said once she found one.

"and although no expert has yet to figure out what caused the sudden storm today or what caused it sudden stop, there has been at least no reportsof human casualties due to the storm in general,

Umeko breatheda huge sigh of relief as she sat on her bed.

"I'm glad," she said out loud, "I'm not sure if Uncle Poseidon or Takeru would care if anyone died because of them, but I'm so relieved no one's dead because of it."

She flopped further down and smiled. "That almost makes up for having to steal from Apollo."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Umeko's window was smashed open. Umeko sat up in fright.

"Dad!" She tried calling out for help.

"I KNEW IT!" a loud, angry voice shouted. Umeko could suddenly see Artemis standing in her room looking mad.

"Why did you steal from my brother!" She shouted again, "he was your friend! How dare you!"

Before Umeko could answer, Artemis had drawn out her bow and arrows, aiming one right at her.


"Do you think the old bat will honor what the kid did today as a trial?" Loki asked as he and his fellow Norse gods relaxed in their own hotel room.

"She promised she would," said Balder.

"Yeah ,but how good is her word?" Loki asked.

"Oh Loki, are you worried about Umeko?" Balder asked.

"Hmm, the sooner she's done the sooner we can go home or better yet really wreck havoc on these puss Greek gods," Loki said. He stroked his face for a bit, "I should go talk to the kid real fast."

"Now?" Thor asked, "it's kind of late Loki."

"Oh, I won't take up too much time," said Loki as he headed to the door.

"Why don't we go with you just in case," said Balder as he and Thor hurried after.


"Man, the Weed, Little Weed or Hades are probably never going to forgive me for what happened today," Takeru pouted as he paced around his hotel room.

"Well, it wasn't all that bad," Tsukito said, "I have heard no one died from the storm and it wound up helping Umeko pass another trial."

"I guess," said Takeru.

"Why not try apologizing to Umeko if you feel so bad," Tsukito suggested.

"I guess it couldn't hurt," said Takeru. The two brothers left their room and headed to the suite just as the Norse gods arraived as well.

"Oh, look who it is, Little Stormy," Loki mocked.

"Shut-up," Takeru snapped, "I'll have you know I'm actually here to apologize."

"Good for you Takeru," Balder said as he moved and managed to open the door.

"Yui, Umeko, Hades?" He called out as everyone filed in.

Suddenly, the group hear the sound of smashing and Umeko shouting.

"Little Weed!" Takeru shouted as he raced to Umeko's room quickly, followed by the others.


Umeko tried backing away from Artemis' aim, but Artemis kept a good eye on her.

"There's nowhere for you to run!" She said, "I hope you enjoyed seeing your father's relm because you're about to become a permanent resident!"

Suddenly the door to the room was burst ooen.

"Ah!" Takeru shouted as he ran and tackled Artemis to the ground.

"Get off me!" Artemis shouted.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Takeru shouted back.

"Advenging my brother for what that little thief has done to him!" Artemis said as she struggled to get out from under Takeru.

"Umeko!" Balder called out to her and he ran and grabbed her, "let's get you out of here! Where are your parents?!"

"No!" Artemis shrieked as she managed to get free a little from Takeru's grasp and fire an arrow at Umeko. Balder quickly threw himself in front of her, making the arrow bounce right off him.

"Damn it!" Artemis moaned angrily.

"Umeko call Apollo!" Loki shouted.

"What?" Umeko said confused.

"Yes, Loki's right, call Apollo! He can calm his sister down!" Tsukito said.

Thor meanwhile hurried over and join Takeru in trying to restraint Artemis.

"Apollo!" Umeko cried out, "Apollo!"

The minute she said that, Apollo came flying in through the broken window.

"Little Fae?!" He said looking around in worry. Then he saw Takeru and Thor trying to hold down his sister, "Artemis, what are you doing?!"

"Apollo!" Artemis said in shock when she saw him. She threw off her attackers and jump up, "she admit it! She stole it! She stole the lyre!"

"Little Fae, is it true? Apollo asked sadly, "is it really true?"

"Is that what this all about?" Loki asked. He walked over and put his arm around Apollo's shoulder, "let's you and me have a talk," he said.

"What?" Apollo asked.

"What the hell are you up to?!" Takeru asked mad.

"Just let me talk to Apollo real fast and all will be fine," Loki said leading Apollo out of the room.


"So this was all a part of Little Fae's trials?" Apollo asked.

"Yep," Loki said, " heard it from the old bag herself. Trust me, the kid was not happy with it what so ever."

"Oh Little Fae!" Apollo said happily, "I'll just go and explain everything to Artemis."

"Hold it!" Loki said grabbing his shoulder, "we should probably keep this between us."

"What, why?" Apollo asked confused.

"It might be best for the kid if she not know the full details about her trials. She might not take them so seriously. Plus if the old bat knows that the kid knows all the truth about the trials who knows what she might try doing instead."

"Hmm good point," said Apollo.

"Yeah, the only reason I told you is because I figured you'd be the best at calming your pansy fellow Greek Gods down when she has to steal from them too."

"Right good point," said Apollo, "don't worry I will. Starting with Artemis right now."

"Apollo? Loki? What are you doing here?" Yui suddenly asked as she and Hades came around the corner, both in bathrobes.

"Oh nothing, just keeping Artemis from murdering your daughter," said Loki.

What?!" Yui shouted.

"Artemis!" Hades shouted as he ran into Umeko's room.

"Loki-Loki!" Apollo moaned.


"Artemis!" Hades shouted as he came into Umeko's room. There he saw Thor and Takeru standing in front of her, guarding her while Balder and Tsukito stood in front of Umeko, shielding her.

"Artemis, whatever you're planning on doing and for what, stop it right now! I will not permit you to hurt my daughter!"

"But she!" Artemis tried to say. Suddenly Apollo flew into the room and managed to push Artemis towards the window.

"Artemis, let's go," he said.

"But Apollo!" Artemis said.

"Please, I'll explain back at Olympus," said Apollo.

"If you insist," said Artemis, making sure to snap her fingers and fixing the window. She and Apollo were soon gone.

"That was weird," said Hades before walking over to Umeko. Yui beat him to her and threw her arms around Umeko.

"Are you alright?!" I'm sorry we didn't hear you in trouble!" She apologized to Umeko.

"It's okay Mom, I'm fine," Umeko assured her mom.

"Why did she want to kill you?" Yui asked.

"Uh well," Umeko sputtered.

"I'm sure she was just joking around," Loki quickly spoke up.

"Joking around?!" Yui said in alarm.

"Artemis isn't one to joke around," Hades said.

"Well, in either case, it's over. Let your kid get some sleep. She has another big day tomorrow," Loki said as he managed to push everyone out, including her parents.

"But," Yui tried argue right as Loki shoved her out. He turned and winked at Umeko.

"Get some sleep kid, it'll do you some good," he said.

"Sure," Umeko. She had a hunch that Loki was up to something, but not sure what exactly.


Apollo took Artemis back to Olympus, to a private area.

"Apollo, whatever you're going to say forget it. That kid can't get away with stealing with you," said Artemis.

"It was a part of her trial," Apollo tried to explain.

"So?" Artemis asked.

"But Hercules had to steal some things during his trials. Remember, he had to take one of your stags remember?"

Artemis thought about it, "oh yeah," she said.

"And the important thing is I got it back. So let's just let it go and allow little Fae to finish her trials in peace," Apollo pleaded.

"I guess," Artemis allowed.

Apollo sighed in relief. He could only hope if any of the other gods got mad if or when Umeko stole from them he could calm them down as easy.
