Chapter 23: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Nemesis, Eris, Hermes, Asclepius, Hebe
***
"WAIT! Come back! You can't run forever!!!!!!."
***
Usagi had kept running, she was still running. Even though she was faced everything, and she was in heaven now, watching over all the people who had cared for her over the years. She had run from her friend Molly, and she had not seen Molly since. Rumor had it that Molly had given up and she wanted to be reborn on the earth, without any memory of her past, and that included Usagi. But now that it was all said and done, the least Usagi did was to look and watch over Molly as she progressed. She promised that she would never let anyone harm Molly the way she had done. She silently thanked all those she had met throughout her life who had contributed to the steps she was taking to get back and undo all her sins. That was how she got to where she was now.
***
The gold shimmering boots clicked along the white marble floors. Her black shorts were leather, and her tank top was gold. Her hair was the usual odango-style. She decided she could only run for so long, so she let the old habits take her over.
Usagi had not seen hide nor hair of Heero, Rei, Makoto, Trowa, or the others of the group. As far as she knew, they were all dead, but they were not here with her. Wherever they were, they were together, and she knew she would see them again one day. Just not today.
Today was the day that she took over her new position as the goddess Nemesis. She was the goddess who helped those who had been wronged. She wondered briefly how she had gotten this job when it was she who wronged so many in her past. She guessed the gods were giving her something to compensate for. It was the perfect job for her, because also helped out in the wars, even though that was the job of Ares. She hadn't found out who was who, but she had a feeling she could figure out the jobs of the others. Given time, she could take it to look them in the eyes again, and she would know who they were.
***
Rei was in her bedroom. She was waiting on a certain black haired soldier to get there. They had an engagement to go on a walk out and explore the new environment they were in. They decided to go together since they probably would get lost alone.
There was a knock the cloud door. She giggled a bit, wondering when he decided to knock before entering a woman's quarters. It was usually in his head that he could go anywhere at any time. But he was being a perfect gentleman since they got there; she kind of missed the old Wufei. But she knew he was just anxious to see the others. They had met with Heero, Minako, Quatre, Heero, Duo, Ami, Trowa, and Makoto. Sadly, they had not seen the hotheaded blonde anywhere. Heero was distressed. He spent his days after his duties as the god of discord, Eris, looking around for the newborn goddess. Sadly, Makoto, or Jupiter, refused to tell anyone where her quarters were. Heero was enraged by her refusal, but he was able to keep his head. But being the God of Discord, he would frequently start conflict between the people on earth to cool his anger.
Rei had missed Usagi as well, why wouldn't Makoto even tell who she was? What was she in charge of? She figured that they would ask around and see where the blonde goddess lived. According to Makoto, they knew that she lived in her own castle, as did they all. But there were a million castles on Olympus, how could they search them all?
Wufei finally barged in. "Woman! What's your problem! I've been banging on that door for the last forty-five minutes. What's the matter with you!?" He yelled at her, making her hair fly behind her. The god of war was no cool- head.
"Shut your trap, oh great god of war. You should know what I've been thinking of. It's what everyone wants to know. Where's Usagi? Why haven't we seen her! She's here, why can't Makoto tell us where she is?" Rei complained to him.
"Well forgive me, great Hebe, goddess of youth. But you know we'll find out sooner or later. Makoto will give in once she finds out how many wars Heero is starting on the earth. And he's making my job a lot harder. He's got the Parliament so mad they practically blew up half the colonies. I won't stand for it. But I don't have the heart to stop him. Poor guy, he's falling apart."
Rei got up off the bed, and walked over to kiss Wufei on the cheek. Then she took his arm, and they left the room, closing the door behind them.

Quatre rode the chariot down and with it, down with the sun as he carried it to the other side of the world, slowly, and finding the calming light to make him the tiniest bit sleepy. He played his harp a bit, and found the music to be even more calming. But frowned as he saw the wars waging on, and Heero had most likely made them start.
Quatre, the god of music, Apollo III was sad for his friend but he still watched as the havoc Heero released to the world slowly started to tear things apart. He had even blamed it on Makoto and Pluto that he was not together with her like he was supposed to be.
/ It's their fault! They're just making up for the fact that they don't have any friends or anything they don't want me to be close because Usagi and me have something they don't have or understand. LOVE! \
*Poor Heero. * He thought.
A beautiful young girl with blue hair came up to Quatre who was still sailing in the skies. Her sandals had wings on them. It was none other than Ami, the gods' messenger, Hermes.
"Stop thy horses!" She shouted, as she neared, and Quatre could only laugh.
"Hmmm.does thou speak with the ancient tongue? Or does she wish to mock the god of music with his own words?" He spoke with the knowledge she was quoting one of Shakespeare's own language.
Ami laughed. "'course, I always loved his plays. Sets the fire in the soul." She smirked as Quatre raised his eyebrow. "I'm just kidding. Jupiter wishes to have a council of the gods and goddesses tonight. And does wish one everyone weekend on the Greek calendar. That is if she lives through having another argument with Heero.
Quatre thought of something. "If she wishes a council of all the gods and goddesses, maybe Usagi will be there, ne?"
Ami shook her head. "No, Jupiter was always a clever one. Usagi is to stay locked up in her castle except when she is on duty. In other words, she's keeping Usagi away from us so that we may not meet." Ami sighed.
***
Heero paced quietly around his room, he couldn't keep his head much longer. Soon he would totally conquer the earth with all of the people's hate for others. There were only so many times one could have a war. He looked at the only picture of Usagi he had. It was the photo he printed off the disks when he first received the mission to kill her, and the same day that they had met; not realizing what was to become of them soon afterwards.
He smiled at the memories he had of her, when she did him a favor by putting his room far away from Relena's, and has taken the wrath of the evil Queen. He had thanked her many times for that. The time the crash happened, and just when he was beginning to trust her, the thing was, what had happened earlier that day was still a mystery to him.
He was glad that Wufei and Rei had finally gotten together. He was very happy to hear the details of how Wufei slowly and deliberately killed Trieze, describing every moment and every horror filled scream that expelled from the prone man's body as he was slotted from head to toe, courtesy of Wufei's katana.
Quatre and Ami had gotten together, he was happy to hear. And finally, Duo and Minako, he had known that Trowa and Makoto were together, but even he couldn't force the whereabouts of Usagi out of her, no matter how many times he asked, and he didn't have the heart to threaten her. (Sounds like Trowa is Zeus and Makoto is Hera, doesn't it?)
He was the only one without someone, and the same someone he wanted to see again, almost desperately. Most would think he already had gone mad by this time, countless times he punched a hole in the wall, and the clouds would instantly repair it. I unnerved him that no one else could feel his pain except for him, and there was only a certain amount of time before you would get tired of punching holes in your wall for the rest of eternity. He was already loosing interest in it. Just didn't seem like it had a point. It's the truth after all.
***
Usagi waited for the longest time. Makoto was supposed to meet her there. The meeting would take place in only 30 minutes; so far no one had showed up. Usually when she had meetings in OZ they would come in an hour early, she had hurried to make sure she didn't miss anything. But apparently everyone else had something better to do than to talk with old friends. Makoto had told her that no one knew she was coming, and this was one of the times that she would get to see her friends again, and for this Usagi was very excited. But if they didn't want to see her fine, she didn't have to come. But the thirst to see Heero again was slowly biting away at her.
She decided to look down the earth for a while to see if any wrongs needed to be righted, courtesy of the revenge goddess, Nemesis. She saw the wars being waged, so many had come up so soon, and at the same time. New ones were frequently starting. She silently wondered who was starting them. Makoto had mentioned something about a hotheaded soldier who couldn't deal with being away from someone for so long he was letting his anger out on the earth. Well she was about to go over to this god and tell him a thing or two.
Suddenly, she heard her name being called. She turned, and saw someone running towards her. There was a blurr of brown and gold, and suddenly she was in the embrace of the goddess of love and beauty and the god of death, Duo Maxwell and Minako Aino.
**** cliffy, poor you. ^_^
