Hello all Storm here with another chapter! Yep I said there'd be two chapters at once and I have delivered, and here we'll be seeing a timeskip from last chapter, showing Kushina's and Aphrodite's relationship, as well as Kushina learning her true nature and where she came from, along with everything the gods have ever done. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Nearly two months have passed since Kushina and Aphrodite had entered into a relationship together and became a couple. With them having begun spending even more time together and opening up more about themselves, as well as having gone on several dates together. Something that made the redhead even happier was Aphrodite moving in with her, making her glad at having someone around. She'd even began teaching her some different languages she knew, which Aphrodite called French, Ancient Greek and English something that only further confused Kushina at the strange names. Though, she was somewhat familiar with the latter as she and some other people Elemental Nations would use it on occasion, though she wasn't aware of the name nor did she really make an effort to learn it, outside of a few words.
Though Kushina was embarrassed as Aphrodite had now dropped any hint of subtlety she had before. Now never missing a chance to touch, kiss, flirt, and tease her no matter where they were, not to mention having taken to wearing much more provocative clothing when they're alone. Even going as far as to flash Kushina few times, much to her embarrassment, and growing arousal.
But as time passed, Kushina began noticing some changes in Aphrodite's appearance, nothing major but enough to get her attention. With her hair having begun growing out that it now went past her waist along with losing its spikiness, turning straight with some curls, and pink streaks appearing in it, and her eyes also began developing a pink tint in them, with even her pupil being a lighter shade of pink. While her body…Kushina would admit her restraint was really being tested with how Aphrodite's body became even more developed and erotic.
The redhead hasn't said anything about it yet, wanting to wait and see if Aphrodite would tell her if something was happening.
Currently though, Kushina was with Mikoto and Hitomi, having wanted to spend time with her friends after not getting the chance to in so long. Something the Uchiha and Hyūga were more than happy to do, eager to catch up with Kushina, especially having noticed her improved mood.
"How have you two been? Any luck with a baby yet, Hitomi?" Kushina asked looking at the bluenette, who shook her head.
"Not yet, but Hiashi and I have been trying, though he's mostly kept busy with clan business and the elders pressuring him into having an heir. Which isn't helped with Hizashi already having a son." Replied Hitomi, frowning at how the elders pressuring her and Hiashi to have a child, simply because Hizashi now had a son while the Clan Head didn't have any children.
"I'll never understand why no one has gotten rid of those fossils yet. It makes me glad we don't have elders in the Uchiha Clan and Fugaku has the final say on matters." Mikoto stated, with Kushina nodding in agreement.
"It was the same for the Uzumaki Clan, no elders complaining or trying to make everyone bow down to their will." Said Kushina, with the Hyūga Matriarch groaning in annoyance.
"Believe me, I wish we could get rid of them, but they're part of the clan and they can't just be forced to retire, though I doubt any of them would. Plus, as much as I hate to admit, they are useful in helping keep the Hyūga Clan together." Hitomi said, hating her clans elders, but knew that if they were removed it'd take time and work to do so.
"Well, if you ever need them removed, I'd be more than happy to make it look like an accident." Kushina offered with a smile, making Mikoto and Hitomi look at her blankly.
"You're casualness to talking about murder scares us, Kushina." Said Hitomi with Mikoto nodding in agreement, as the redhead merely smiled.
"Then that means I'm doing something right!" Replied Kushina, knowing it's a good way to freak out and scare people, making them less likely to attack someone who'd probably enjoy torturing and killing them.
"What about you Mikoto? How's the baby?" Kushina asked, turning to the Uchiha Matriarch, who smiled and rubbed her growing stomach.
"They're doing just fine, Itachi may not show it, but I can see he's excited to be a big brother. He's even convinced it's going to be a boy already, it's really adorable how sure he is. I'm personally hoping for a girl this time." Said Mikoto, excited to have another child, making Kushina and Hitomi smile at her, only for Mikoto and Hitomi to smile slyly at the Uzumaki.
"Speaking of girls, at least we know why you've been avoiding us. Spending time with a mystery woman, how naughty of you Kushina." Hitomi said teasingly, making Kushina blush at her words.
"I know, I didn't expect you to be interested either. And it looks like I lost my chance to seduce you too, such a pity." Mikoto said in mock sadness, causing her blush to intensify.
"Oh please, we both know she would have gone for me instead, and I would see all her weak points." Said Hitomi while winking at Kushina.
"You two are worse than Dite!" Kushina said, not believing she now had to deal with her friends teasing her as well.
"Dite? Already using cute nicknames. Though what exactly is that short for?" Mikoto asked curiously, with Hitomi also being curious to learn more about Kushina's girlfriend.
"It's short for Aphrodite." Replied Kushina, which only confused them more.
"Huh, odd name, but also unique. Is that a name from the Uzumaki Clan or wherever she lived?" Mikoto asked, with Kushina and Hitomi now looking at her strangely.
"Uh…Dite isn't part of the Uzumaki Clan. Why would you even think that?" Kushina asked, given Aphrodite had even told her she's not from the Elemental Nations and didn't have the Uzumaki Clans red hair, either.
"Th-the…red hair she has, it's the same shade as yours, with yellow highlights and blue eyes similar to Minato while also a slight spikiness to her hair as well. I mean, I've seen you two around the village a few times and just assumed she was an Uzumaki you met outside the village before bringing her back." Said Mikoto, only confusing them more.
"Uh, Mikoto…are you all right? Because I've seen them together too and Aphrodite only has red streaks in her hair, the rest is mostly black. Though she did have purple eyes like your Kushina." Hitomi said with her and Mikoto looking at Kushina.
'What are they even…that doesn't make any sense at all.' Kushina thought, knowing for a fact neither of those were true about Aphrodite's appearance.
With it now making her even more confused and suspicious that there's more to her girlfriend than she initially believed. Before quickly covering up her confusion with a smile, not wanting her friends to worry about nothing, at least until she got answers herself.
"Oh that…I forgot to mention that Dite has a habit of wearing different transformations to change her hair and eyes, wanting to see which style suits her better than her current one." Said Kushina smoothly, which luckily seemed enough to satisfy the Uchiha and Hyūga before they changed the conversation and continued talking.
*Later*
After saying goodbye to Mikoto and Hitomi, Kushina returned home and intended to get some answers out of Aphrodite about her seemingly random changes in appearance and current changes. With it not taking long for her to arrive home, finding Aphrodite waiting for her.
"Kushina. Hey, I'm glad you're back, there's…actually something I need to tell you." Aphrodite said, looking nervous about something, which set Kushina further on edge.
"Yeah, we do need to talk. I was just with Mikoto and Hitomi, both of them saying they've seen you before, only with completely different appearances to your current one. And even that's starting to change now as well. There's also those strange language you've started teaching me, French and Ancient Greek. Those don't sound like any language I've ever heard of before, nor ones I bet I would find anywhere else." Said Kushina narrowing her eyes at Aphrodite.
"So, is there anything you've been forgetting to tell me, Dite?" Demanded Kushina, with Aphrodite laughing nervously.
"Ehehehehehehe, well…funny you should mention all that, since it has to do with what I have to tell you." Said Aphrodite before sitting down and motioning Kushina to sit next to her.
"Okay, then tell me." Kushina said crossing her arms.
"What I have to tell you may be pretty hard to believe. But I swear on Styx that everything I'm going to tell you is completely true." Aphrodite said, with thunder booming overhead, surprising Kushina at the sudden thunder.
"What…what was that?" Questioned Kushina, given there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so the sudden thunder didn't make sense.
"It's an Oath on Styx being made, the most important oath anyone could make, as breaking it would mean a fate worse than death. I made it to prove to you that I'm telling the truth. Kushina…I'm not from this world, I'm also not human. I'm a goddess." Revealed Aphrodite, making Kushina look at her with wide eyes.
"…Huh?" Kushina said not sure she heard her right.
"I'm a goddess from a different world. My name is Aphrodite, and I'm the Goddess of Love and Beauty. The reason your friends see me differently is because anyone who looks at me, sees their ideal version of beauty and physical attraction." Aphrodite explained, with Kushina's shock continuing to grow.
"So…this isn't your…" Kushina said, motioning to her appearance.
"My true appearance? No, it's not. Everyone has a different perception of beauty, so my appearance always changes to perfectly suit whatever attracts them the most. It's not exactly something I can control, it's just part of my domain." Replied Aphrodite, with the Uzumaki nodding slowly.
"And…what about your family? Are they…" Said Kushina, trying to wrap her head around the fact her girlfriend is an actual goddess and from a different world.
"Gods and goddesses? Yes, they are, each of them having their own domains and powers presiding over them. But the half-siblings I told you about, they aren't gods, they're Titans, the ones who came before them. Along with the Elder Cyclopes, and Hekatonkheires, also known as the Hundred-Handed Ones." Aphrodite said.
"Wait…how can you be a goddess if your siblings are Titans and…whatever those other things are?" Kushina asked.
"That…is pretty complicated actually. I wasn't exactly born normally, I arose from sea foam created from the severed genitals of my father after my Titan half-brothers cut him into pieces and threw them into the ocean, as an insult towards their brother who didn't help murder him." Explained Aphrodite, much to Kushina's disbelief.
"…What?!" Kushina said, having no idea what she just heard or if she's finally snapped and imagining everything right now.
"Yeah, it'd probably be better just to start from the beginning. It goes back several millennia to the Primordial's, specifically two of them. My father Ouranos the Primordial of the Sky and Gaea the Primordial of the Earth…" Aphrodite said as she began telling Kushina the history of the Titans, gods, and herself.
*Later*
"So…you just rose up from the sea…fully grown?" Kushina asked, after having heard everything Aphrodite told her about the history of her world.
At least about how the Titans came to be, overthrowing their cruel father, only to be just as cruel and arrogant as him. Even more so, with Kronos taking pleasure in speeding up the time of things and people until they were dust. Swallowing his own children only for them to be saved by their youngest brother before working to overthrow the Titans, succeeding and becoming the Olympian Gods.
"Yeah, I met the three Horai, the season goddesses, they clothed me in a white dress, a golden crown, golden earrings and a golden necklace before bringing me to Mount Olympus. I became one of the Twelve Olympians, and given my father was a Primordial, I was a born a very powerful goddess. Especially with how being the Goddess of Love allows my power to even affects other gods." Aphrodite replied proudly, always happy knowing she's one of the most powerful beings in existence with her control over love.
"You're not telling me everything." Stated Kushina looking at Aphrodite, who tensed slightly.
"Oh…well, I mean I don't want to bore you with all the little details and trust me there's a lot you'd have to learn. And we could get to all of that later, I'm sure you want to process-" Aphrodite said, only to be cutoff.
"How bad are they?" Kushina said, making the Love Goddess gulp.
"H-how bad are who?" Aphrodite asked, flinching when Kushina gave her a warning look.
"You just told me that Ouranos hated his children enough to throw them into Tartarus, the deepest and darkest place in the Underworld and is a place of complete pain and suffering. Then the Titans, who were even worse, only saw humans as cheap entertainment and food, with their leader even taking pleasure in turning them into dust. Do you really expect me to believe these gods and goddesses didn't turn out the same or even worse than their predecessors? Now tell me, how bad are they?" Demanded Kushina, with Aphrodite flinching again and remained silent.
"…How bad are you?" Kushina asked, looking at her in hurt and sadness, making her flinch again.
"…I…in some cases we…we are better than the Titans, we at least don't see humans as just food. But…there've been plenty of times that we're…worse than the Titans could ever be, me included." Aphrodite admitted quietly.
"Tell me, all of it." Said Kushina, wanting to know everything the gods have ever done, including Aphrodite.
"Are you sure you want to hear it?" Questioned Aphrodite, knowing the gods weren't the nicest beings, even now when they've mellowed out after several centuries, they still weren't very nice.
"You swore everything you'd tell me right now is true, and I need to know. So, if any part of you genuinely cares about me, you'll tell me everything, please." Kushina said while looking at her, making Aphrodite bite her lips before sighing and nodded in resignation.
*Later*
Kushina looked down at her shaking hands, feeling shock, disbelief, anger, hatred, disgust, horror, and sadness at hearing everything the gods had done. Murdering innocents, raping women, cursing people, turning them into animals and monsters, attempting to murder children and even succeeding a few times. All of it done, just because they could or believed they were slighted for the littlest of things.
And Aphrodite was no different, learning the fact she's actually married to Hephaestus, only to cheat on him hundreds, if not thousands, of times. With her main lover being his own brother, while even having sex in his own damn bedroom when he was gone!
'I think I'm gonna be sick.' Kushina thought, having known that such acts were committed in the Elemental Nations, but that's to be expected from Ninja since their job required for them to perform acts that can be morally grey at best, outright dark and evil at worse.
But now hearing the same acts were committed by supposedly benevolent gods simply because they could or were angry. It disgusted and angered Kushina that any being could claim to call themselves gods after committing so many atrocities, yet claim to be better than their predecessors.
The only ones that Kushina believed actually deserved to be called gods and rule anything were Hestia, who seemed to be the only genuinely kind and caring one who'd never hurt anyone. And Hades, who despite his reputation never does anything cruel to anyone, the only punishments he ever gives out are to those that deserve them, and nothing inhuman. Even more ironic that he's the one who's able to remain the most loyal to his own wife, only having affairs when she's not around.
While Aphrodite looked at Kushina, worried and nervous at the emotions she's feeling coming from her, along with how the Uzumaki's feelings for her were starting to wane.
"Kush-" Aphrodite said, only to be silenced by Kushina raising her hand.
"Don't…just don't speak. You and every single one of these so-called gods…you are worse than any monster. You kill anyone you don't like, rape anyone unfortunate enough to get your attention and reject your advances, curse anyone that so much as breathes in your direction the wrong way, turn others into monsters, and don't care about the consequences of your actions. Yet you all claim to be better than the Titans?" Said Kushina, with the Goddess of Love flinching with each accusation, only to tense when Kushina slowly looked at her.
With her eyes having now turned blood red with slit pupils.
"And you're no different. You regularly cheat on your own husband, usually with his own damn brother who seems more like an overgrown man-child than a God of War, had several children with him! And even when you're caught, you continue cheating on him, only now you don't bother trying to hide it! That's not even counting the hundreds of other times you've done it, with basically anything that moves!" Kushina said, her voice getting louder until she was shouting, with Aphrodite clenching her fists.
"Well I never even had a choice in the matter! I didn't get to choose who I could marry; I was basically sold off to Hephaestus because Hera said so! She didn't care what I wanted, none of them did, they only saw some new trophy to parade around! So that cow-faced peacock just gave me to him so she could preserve her "perfect" little family! So yes, I had affairs behind his back and with Ares because every affair I had was a slap in the face to her and her domain! That I didn't care what she said or wanted me to do, I would show her how meaningless marriage can be! Not that she needs help learning that with a husband who really does fuck anything that moves!" Retorted Aphrodite since she never got the chance to choose who she could be with or marry, she started having affairs since they were her choice while allowing her to spite Hera and her domain over marriage.
"That I'll give you, she had no right to decide who could be married. Regardless of whether she was a Goddess of Marriage or not, she wasn't your mother nor did she have any control over you, but Hephaestus never did anything to you! Hell he didn't even start having affairs until learning about your own!" Said Kushina.
"And the first one he chose was my own handmaiden! Along with the fact he gave my daughter a cursed necklace, turning her and her husband into snakes, then bringing more tragedy to their family for generations!" Aphrodite said, having been angered when she learned Hephaestus chose Aglaia as the first woman he'd have an affair with, and then giving Harmonia a cursed necklace after she became the mortal wife of King Cadmus.
"Again, I'll give you that. While he had every right to be angry, having an affair with your handmaiden was just spiteful, and giving your daughter a cursed necklace was unnecessarily cruel." Kushina stated, admitting that Hephaestus was in the wrong during those times and shouldn't have targeted their children, who were innocent and had no part in their issues.
"Then what about, Hippolytus?!" Kushina demanded.
"What about him?! He joined that stuck-up virgins group and didn't even try flirting once with the Hunters! He never so much as looked at anyone or showed any interest in anything, besides hunting!" Said Aphrodite.
"So that means he deserved to die?! Being killed by his own father?! Who cares if he wasn't interested in being married or flirting with girls! Not all love has to be romantic or sexual! He loved hunting, he loved the freedom that came with being part of the Hunters, maybe he even loved them like they were family! Just because he didn't see anyone in a romantic or sexual light doesn't mean he didn't feel love, he just felt it differently!" Retorted Kushina, with Aphrodite not having a response to that, since she never even really thought about like that.
She's always seen love as something between couples, with it being romantic or sexual, never really thinking about other types of loves.
"And then there's Smyrna, who just because she refused to worship you, you made her seduce her own father?! They should be allowed to worship whoever they want without fear of being punished! And then you turned her into a tree, rather than at the very least sending her somewhere else to not be killed by him! At least you were willing to take care of her son, but then you started a relationship with him?! You curse his mother, turn her into a tree, raise him as your own son his entire life! And just because he was handsome, you wanted to sleep with him?!" Kushina said in disbelief and slight disgust, only for Aphrodite to give her a warning look.
"Don't ever say anything about Adonis. I loved him and he loved me." Aphrodite said, refusing to let anyone talk about one of her favorite lovers, like that.
"Did he know how and why he was born? What you did?" Demanded Kushina, making the goddess flinch and fall silent, with the redhead scoffing.
"Of course you'd keep it a secret. And then there's the war you helped start all for something as stupid as a golden apple! Seriously?! Who would fucking care about something like that?!" Kushina said, not believing anyone would fight over a golden apple simply because it said, "For the Fairest".
"Hera and Athena fought over it, too! One who was already married and the other is supposed to be the Goddess of Wisdom, yet they still tried getting it! And by right, it should have been mine anyway, I'm the Goddess of Beauty!" Retorted Aphrodite.
"Exactly! You're the Goddess of Beauty, you more than anyone wouldn't need some stupid apple to prove you're the fairest! You can literally just walk into a room and everyone will look at you, no matter who they are! You could have just found the entire thing funny and let them fight over it, knowing you didn't have anything to prove! Instead, you did fight over it and helped cause a war that never needed to happen!" Shouted Kushina, with Aphrodite once again having no response to that.
As no matter what she thought, she couldn't deny all the points Kushina brought up, but her pride also wouldn't let her admit it either.
Seeing she wasn't going to say anything, Kushina scoffed before her clothes began glowing and were replaced by her Kunoichi uniform with her sword strapped to her back and her hair in a ponytail. Having placed seals on all her clothes, allowing her to instantly switch outfits, in the event she's ever attacked without any weapons on her and her chains weren't enough.
"Where are you going?" Aphrodite asked as Kushina headed to the door.
"To take some dangerous missions where I can hurt and/or kill someone or something, as right now, I need to let off some steam. And not be around you for a while." Kushina said, making the goddess flinch and look at her with a hurt expression.
"Does…does that mean you're breaking up with me?" Said Aphrodite, with Kushina stopping and turned to her with a neutral expression, her eyes thankfully being purple again.
"What were you going to do if we did have sex? Were you going to stay? Or was I just going to be another notch in the ever-growing list?" Questioned Kushina, only getting silence as an answer, making her shake her head.
"If you're still here when I get back, then maybe we'll talk. And if you're not…then don't bother coming back." Kushina said before Shunshining away.
Once she was gone, Aphrodite sat back, pulling her legs up to her chest while feeling tears in her eyes at Kushina's words. Not remembering the last time one of her partners had that kind of effect on her or that the idea of leaving them hurt so much.
*Timeskip-Two Weeks*
Kushina sighed as she entered her home, switching out her clothes given her uniform was covered in blood. Having taken a few missions that involved dealing with several bandit camps and hunting down multiple Missing-Nin, as well as one to either slay or seal away a demon that was terrorizing a village.
'I think I went a bit overboard.' Thought Kushina, thinking over how most of her targets didn't die quickly or painlessly due to her heightened anger and aggression, leaving them with either their limbs cut off, impaled, ripped apart by her chains, or just inflicting as much pain as she could on them.
Looking around for any sign of Aphrodite, the Uzumaki Matriarch felt disappointed and saddened to not see her anywhere. Only to look up when she sensed the goddess was just upstairs in the room she took, having originally wanted them to have the same room but Kushina wasn't going to let try anything.
And despite her current feelings towards the Goddess of Love, Kushina did feel some happiness and hope that she's still here. Before sighing as she made her way upstairs, knowing it wouldn't do them any good to put things off any longer.
Reaching Aphrodite's room, Kushina opened the door to find the goddess curled up on the bed holding a pillow, making her frown as she went over and sat the edge.
"Dite?" Kushina said hesitantly, with Aphrodite shifting slightly to show she's awake.
"I figured it'd be better to get this out of the way now, than putting it off. I'm…sorry for how I acted, but after hearing everything you and the other Olympians have done, I just couldn't stand it. I've had to fight in war and I hated it, my family and clan were wiped out because of fear and hatred, I've seen and heard of disgusting, inhuman, and cruel acts being committed with or without any purpose. And hearing that you've done things like that…I was more hurt than angry because I really hoped you were someone good in a very bloody and violent land." Said Kushina, the goddess not moving for a few moments before finally sitting up and looked at Kushina.
"I am good, Kushina. I just…can't help the way I am, love is a very temperamental emotion, along with lust, passion and desire. I feel them much more than anyone else, and sometimes love can very easily turn into hate, spite and vindictiveness. I do try to be better, which isn't easy when I'm someone who's expected to always be perfect. Hell, over the past several centuries, we all had been trying to get better with some having more luck than others. But it's just hard trying to feel perfect when love can change so easily and always being seen as something different. But I do try." Aphrodite said, with Kushina nodding at this.
"I know and you have been shown to be kind and caring. You helped that sculptor, Pygmalion, find the perfect love by bringing his statue to life, when you didn't have to. You took care of your son, Aeneas, and looked after him when he went to war. And you do love your children and want what's best for them, even with what you did to Psyche despite Eros loving her." Said Kushina, giving her a look at the end.
"I started being nice to her after she became a goddess." Said Aphrodite in her defense, having begun treating Psyche more kindly after becoming a goddess.
"Did you ever a apologize to her?" Kushina asked, making her fall silent.
"You'll need to apologize to her, she loves your son, especially if she was willing to go through all of that to prove she did." Said Kushina.
"F-fine…I'll apologize to her." Aphrodite muttered before looking at Kushina.
"And to answer your question, I wouldn't have left." Said Aphrodite, making the redhead look at her in surprise.
"You…wouldn't have?" Questioned Kushina, with the goddess shaking her head.
"No, I wouldn't. Despite my original intentions, I have enjoyed spending time with you Kushina, going out together, talking, that cute blush you get whenever I tease you, and definitely kissing you." Aphrodite said, with a pleased smirk, with Kushina blushing and smacking her arm lightly before Aphrodite took her hand and held it.
"But it's also the little moments I've liked the most, sitting together, enjoying the peace and quiet, just cuddling with each other, they're some of my favorite moments. They…help remind me that love doesn't have to just be physical. So, if we did have sex or even if we never did, I wouldn't have wanted to leave." Aphrodite said smiling at Kushina, which she returned.
"I'm glad to hear that. It means I can still do this." Said Kushina cupping Aphrodite's cheek before kissing her, which she happily returned.
With Kushina soon finding herself pushed down onto the bed and Aphrodite climbing on top of her, pushing her tongue into the Uzumaki's mouth. The Goddess of Love wanting to make up for all the time they missed the past two weeks. A sentiment Kushina shared as she wrapped her arms around the goddess and pulled her close, pressing their bodies together.
Only for the Kunoichi to feel something changing in her girlfriends appearance, with her opening her eyes only to be surprised at what she saw, leading to Kushina breaking the kiss.
"What's wrong?" Aphrodite asked disappointed at the kiss ending.
"Uh…Dite, are you changing your appearance right now?" Said Kushina, confusing the goddess.
"No, it should still be the same as when you first saw me. Maybe a few minor changes if your view of beauty has changed." Replied Aphrodite.
"Well, you've definitely changed. Before I thought you were the most beautiful woman I saw and now you…you are just…" Kushina said, unable to think of the right word to describe Aphrodite's current appearance.
Confused at what she meant and curious at how Kushina now saw her, Aphrodite rolled off of her and looked up at the ceiling, waving her hand to create a large mirror above them. Only to be shocked when she saw her reflection.
Seeing that she now had incredibly long pink hair that fell down to her calves, a light tan, and dark pink eyes that matched her hair with lighter pink pupils. And her body had further developed with her hips now flaring out, her breasts growing to now be F-cup, and overall looking like complete perfection.
"Th-this…this is how you see me?" Aphrodite asked, looking at Kushina hopefully, with the redhead nodding.
"Yes. I noticed some small changes before, pink streaks in your hair, your eyes beginning to turn pink, and your body just…somehow becoming even better than before. I wasn't sure why you were changing. But knowing you're a goddess, I figured you were making slight changes to your appearance, except now going all the way and taking a new form." Said Kushina, only for Aphrodite to smile brightly and happily pulled her into a deep kiss.
Surprised at the sudden kiss, Kushina didn't have time to react as Aphrodite pulled her on top of her, moaning in surprise as she began touching every inch of her. Confused, surprised, and growing increasingly aroused at her sudden behavior, Kushina had to force herself to break the kiss and sit up, panting slightly.
"Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?" Kushina asked, only for Aphrodite to pull her back down, giggling excitedly.
"Kushina, this isn't me changing my appearance, this is my appearance! My true appearance!" Aphrodite said happily, surprising the redhead again as she looked her girlfriend over in a new light.
"This is what you really look like?" Said Kushina in amazement, with Aphrodite nodding in response.
"Yep! This…this is how I looked the day I rose up from the sea, before my appearance began constantly shifting to suit everyone else's tastes and ideals on beauty. The number of those who can see me like this can be counted on both hands with fingers to spare. And the only way someone can see me like this, is if they love me. Not just physically, but truly love me without any doubts or hesitation." Aphrodite said before looking at Kushina in adoration.
"You…you really love me? Even after everything I told you. You were already beginning to love me?" Asked Aphrodite, with Kushina looking her over before smiling and nodding.
"I guess I do, I wasn't sure myself, but if seeing you like this proves it. Then yes, I love you, Aphrodite." Replied Kushina, making the goddess squeal and hugged her tightly.
"But the rule still applies, I'm not going to have sex with you yet." Kushina added quickly, not wanting her to assume she's ready for sex.
"That's fine, knowing you see me like this and love me, I'll wait as long as you want." Aphrodite said, feeling more content than she has in centuries.
"Good." Kushina said, smiling as she relaxed in Aphrodite's embrace.
"Also expect to start training tomorrow." Stated Kushina, making Aphrodite's eyes snap open.
"…Training?" Questioned Aphrodite, with Kushina smirking at her.
"That's right. Don't think I didn't notice how you usually only use your magic or powers of seduction to fight enemies, and rarely fight them directly. Something I intend to fix, since you're the daughter of the apparent King of the Protogenoi and should learn to use the power you inherited from him, rather than just the powers you were born with." Kushina said, making Aphrodite smile nervously.
"That's really not necessary mon chéri, I'm perfectly fine fighting the way I usually do. Besides I'm a lover, not a fighter." Aphrodite said.
"Well once I'm done with you, you'll definitely be a both a lover and a fighter." Stated Kushina with a wicked smile, one that both scared and aroused the goddess.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Kushina and Aphrodite bonding together, growing closer as a couple, the latter even teaching her English, French, and Ancient Greek, along with Kushina beginning to notice some small changes in her appearance, later learning how Mikoto and Hitomi also see Aphrodite as looking completely different, leading to her confronting Aphrodite, who reveals she's really a goddess and from another world. With Aphrodite telling Kushina about her origin, how she was born, the Titans, and the gods, only to then have to tell Kushina everything the gods have ever done and that they could be worse than the Titans. Leading to the two getting into an argument until Kushina leaves to take some missions and get away from Aphrodite for a while, much to the latter's sadness, before getting a small timeskip to Kushina returning and talking with Aphrodite, knowing with all the bad she's done, she's also done some good, with the two reconciling, before Aphrodite's appearance completely changes (for a better look, search "hades game Aphrodite bikini" in google and it should be the first image at the top left) which she reveals is her true appearance, one only capable of being seen by those who truly love her, which Kushina admits she does. Before also revealing she intends to train Aphrodite, refusing to let her potential go to waste. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
