"One?" Beerus managed to get out.
"Hmm?" Nyx looked up to see the cat with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Oh, you mean one attack. That's what she told my father. I'm not sure honestly, I haven't gone past the first."
Nyx stands up and stretches. She winces from a soreness in her body. Probably from her training the day before. Has it been a day since?
"How many days have I been here? Like on your planet?"
"How are you just going to change the subject like that? I still have questions!" Beerus raised a fist.
"You've been here for a week and a half. Most of it you've spent sleeping due to your transformations." Whis ignored Beerus.
"Oh, ok thanks. I didn't think it was that-" she trailed off. She felt something that made her entire body go ice cold.
Oh. Shit.
"I gotta go to my room real quick! I'll be right back!" She teleported to her room before she could hear Beerus's impending shouts.
Nyx ran to her dresser and flung her clothes around in each one. She was trying to find something she would need for the next few days. Soon she gave up looking in the drawers and ran to the bathroom. What she needed wasn't there either. She looked everywhere she could think, but to no avail. She had about a day before Aunt Flo came to visit, and she had nothing to help her.
She teleported to the dining room to find the two deities talking.
"I was curious about that too. Such a sudden decision. Ah why don't we ask her." Whis turned to Nyx and opened his mouth only for Beerus to cut him off.
"Where did your hair go?" He was waiting for an answer, but she was so worried about what she needed, her hair was the last thing on her mind.
"Look I will answer that question and whatever others you have later, but I need to go to Earth." She looked at them and they both looked shocked by her sudden change in attitude. Neither moved, but Beerus's look of shock turned to agitation.
"Why?"
"Now!" She shouted, only increasing the god's anger.
"Just because I don't treat you like every other mortal, doesn't mean I won't destroy you like them." Beerus stood up.
"I don't give a flying fuck what you threaten me with, I need to go to Earth or I swear I will splatter blood on all of your walls." She was seething. Finally Whis stepped in.
"Nyx, I would gladly bring you to Earth. As you know it is a 35 minute route so please be prepared." Beerus glared at Whis and then at Nyx.
"You will explain. If not willingly, then I will force the answer from you." Nyx gave him a "go to hell" look and turned to Whis.
"I'm ready now, just please hurry." She put her hand on his shoulder and he tapped his staff on the ground. The last thing they saw before being enveloped in the beam was Beerus staring daggers at them both.
After about five minutes of silence, Nyx spoke up.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so demanding, but its an emergency." There was no way in hell she would tell Whis what the emergency was.
"I understand. I did a bit of research on your kind. Humans, that is. It's your..." he trailed off trying to find an appropriate word, "time I suppose would be a good word."
Nyx went blood red and wished she was nonexistent. Of course he knew what was happening. When did Whis not know something.
"Can you keep this a secret? It's super embarrassing." She was gritting her teeth, hoping he would grant her this one request.
"I don't see why not. Though, I'm not sure why your embarrassed of your physiology." He looked back at her to see that she was picking at her thumb with one finger, head down. She was still scarlet. When she opened her mouth, it came out as a whisper.
"I'm not sure." She looked up at him to see the corner of his eye. He smiled and looked forward again.
She focused her gaze back on her free hand. She dug a little to deep with her nail and began to bleed. She was used to it though, her entire cuticles were nothing but scars and unsightly scabs at this point.
"Don't do that." Nyx jumped a bit and looked to see the back of Whis's head. "You could get an infection, and I'm sure it doesn't feel nice."
"I've had this same habit for years and I've been fine. If I get an infection, that's on my body." She put her hand in her lap, but stopped picking at it. "I did even notice what it feels like anyway. I'm fine."
"Years or no, you can still get a major infection. Your presence on Lord Beerus's planet is a welcome change, so if you are harmed I would be most upset." Her mind suddenly flashed back to something her alter ego said.
"Insufferable deities. You both care. You will learn."
"Whis?" She kept her head down and he turned his head slightly.
"Yes?"
"Do you care about me?" She was visibly anxious of how he would answer.
"Oh, of course! You are my student after all!" Nyx heard the smile in his voice.
"Thank you, but I mean as a friend." She looked up just a little and saw the puzzled look on the half of his face that she could see.
"Well I can't say I've ever been asked that question before." He faced forward and raised his hand to his chin. "I've been alive for many millennia. I have had to learn to not make unnecessary friends." He turned to her again.
"Yes dear Nyx I would say I care for you as a friend. I have grown rather fond of your presence." He turned forward again. "Oh! Seems like we are only moments away!" No sooner than he said that, they landed right outside of West City.
"Good. I was getting a bit tired of just standing." She chuckled nervously.
Nyx looked around to find a landmark she would notice and quickly saw a local Greek food place that she loved. Now that she gathered her bearings, she knew which way to go to get to the store.
"So my best friend owns a store. I have a tab there so since I don't have my card, phone, or cash that's where we have to go." Nyx began to walk to the store. She knew it was a 20 minute walk, but she couldn't afford to teleport in the open like this. She took the jacket that she had on and tied it around her waist to cover any stains that may be there.
She thought of how long it had been since she has seen her bestfriend. A month at least. She thought about her bestfriend for a while.
"You said you have a best friend. Does she know what you are?" She was brought out of thought by Whis's question.
"Uh, yea she knows. I've known Luna since before I was a demon. I met her in school. She's basically the sister I never had. The fact that our names mean night and moon is a cool fact too." Nyx noticed Whis watching her intently as she spoke, but she just rattled on about how they met.
"The store is right around this corner. She may not be there but I can still put my stuff on my tab." Nyx turned the corner and saw the entrance to the store. As she neared, a figure stepped out.
"Nyx? Nyx! Look here hoe, you could have at least called me before you left on whatever trip you went on!" A girl with long auburn hair, honey colored eyes, and a tall frame glared at Nyx. "And just who is this? You picked up a hitch hiker?"
"Luna, please." Nyx began to laugh. "I didn't know I was gonna leave until the last second. The place I went had no service and no internet. This isn't a hitch hiker, this is who I am rooming with."
"Your roommate looks like an alien." Luna shrugged. "But if he's chill with you he's chill with me." Luna held her hand out. "I'm Luna, Nyx's unbiological sister." Whis took Luna's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Luna. My name is Whis." Luna narrowed her eyes.
"You're so polite, what are you doing hanging out with Nyx?"
"Luna!" Nyx turned her usual beet red.
"Oh ho ho! I'm used to it now." Whis giggled a little. "I'm actually assisting her with some of her training. She's a rather adept fighter."
"Don't I know it. She taught me a little about defense, but I could never reach her proficiency."
"Considering who she is, I'm not surprised." Whis smiled at Luna.
"Oh, so you know. I guess you would need to in order to tell how strong she is during training." Luna shrugged and looked to Nyx who had her lips flattened into a thin line and was looking at the ground. "I better let you get to shopping. I'll be in my office if you need anything. You know to just charge the store. Love you!" And with those last words Luna walked into the store.
"Well she quite a bit like you isn't she." Nyx smirked at this and began to walk inside.
"Why else do you think shes my bestfriend. She picked up a smidge of me and I of her." Nyx knew Whis was following by the clicking of his shoes on the tile. "Now I gotta get this stuff. You can stay outside if you want, shopping isn't particularly fun."
"It will be something new. Something that comes rarely in my long life." Nyx shrugged and turned forward.
She grabbed a shopping basket and hooked it on her arm. She walked to the left side of the store. There were aisles with various products. As Nyx passed each one, she didn't even spare them a glance. Whis peered down each one catching glimpses of the items on the shelves. Nyx came up on the aisle she needed and took a sharp turn. Whis followed and saw all of the hygiene products. Nyx reached and grabbed a blue and pink package and turned to walk away. Whis looked at all the items and turned to walk behind Nyx once again.
"So I want to check something. I asked Luna to order somethings for me that I've been wanting to try." She walked the span of the market, many glances were being thrown her, or rather Whis's, way. Both ignored it and continued. Nyx turned left and began to walk up another row of aisles. This time only food was organized on the shelves. Whis was in heaven.
"So many varieties!" Nyx looked back to see Whis practically glowing with happiness.
"As much as I would love to indulge your curiosity, we can't. Its gonna be a struggle enough carrying what I'm gonna get back to the planet. Besides, I don't wanna buy the whole store on a store charge." She giggled to herself. "Trust me, you're gonna like what I get."
"Sounds exciting! What is it?" Whis tilted his head.
"It is a surprise. One you will see in just a few seconds because we are here." She turned on an aisle that was filled with cookies. Whis was almost squealing in excitement. Nyx began to laugh at his excitement.
"You're adorable." She managed between her giggle fits. She didn't notice Whis's facial expression change because she was looking for what she wanted. "Hell yes! She got them!"
Nyx picked up a red and black package. Whis peered over her shoulder to see what it was. It had red cake on it and had OREO written in big letters.
"I cannot wait to eat these!" She dropped them in the basket and began to walk to the next aisle.
"Last item and we will be good to go." She quickly turned the corner and they were greeted with hundreds of fancy glass bottles.
"We have wines at home. Some of the finest in the universe. Why get this?" Nyx walked along the bottles looking for a specific one. She saw it, picked it up, and smiled.
"Because friggin cupcakes, that's why." The bottle had a picture of a cupcake on it and was a dark red color.
"Your planet has drinks based on deserts? That's simply incredible!" She put the bottle in her basket and began to walk to the self checkout. It didn't take long to get there. She began to scan her items, and when she got to the wine, it asked for an ID. One of the employees came over to see what was up. Nyx just asked for Luna and the employee called for her on the intercom. Not soon after, the brunette came out and smiled when she saw Nyx.
"So you saw what I ordered for you! We've had both the wine and cookies for a few weeks and they have both been a big seller already." Luna swiped the card around her neck and punched in a few numbers. Whis was watching intensely, curious of what the woman was doing.
"Store charge, yea?" Nyx nodded at Luna's question. "Alright." The brunette pressed a few buttons and then tapped on Nyx's name. The receipt printed and the transaction was completed. Nyx picked up her backs and turned to Luna.
"Alright, I'll see you again in a while, I'm sure. Have fun at your training place." Luna put her hand over her mouth to block Whis's view. "If he screws with you, imma beat him up. On God I will." Nyx laughed and Luna smiled. They hugged and Nyx was clearly torn over having to leave again.
"I'm gonna miss you bitch. Even if it is only for a little while." Nyx said softly. They let go of one another and Luna began to walk them out.
"See you! Be careful! If you die without me, I'll kill you!" Luna stopped but Whis and Nyx began to walk away from the store.
"I know, I know. The same goes for you to!" Nyx yelled over her shoulder.
They walked for a few minutes in silence and then Nyx had an idea.
"Hey Whis, you have like a pocket dimension right?"
"That is one way to put it, yes."
"Do you think you can do me a huge favor and put this there. The wine is heavy." She stepped in front of him and smiled sweetly. "Pretty please!"
Whis looked at her impassively and raised an eyebrow. He suddenly smiled.
"How can I say no to such a cute face!" He grabs the bag and Nyx turns red. The bag disappears and Nyx scratches her head nervously.
"Thanks." She smiled and put her hand on Whis's back. "Let's go back to the planet, I can't wait to eat those red velvet oreos. Who knows, I may even give you some."
"I was kind enough to bring you, and I don't even get a guaranteed dessert?" He fake swooned. "I'm hurt!"
"Fine, fine! You can have some. I promise. Now let's gooo!"
Whis giggled and tapped his staff. Soon the two were overtaken by the usual pillar of light, and took off through the universe.
