Chapter 2

"And just who is that?" Suzaku asked, gesturing towards Tasuki.

"Eh him? He's just some dumb human Kim landed on." Max shrugged. "He claims to be one of your warriors."

"Just who are you calling dumb kid?" Tasuki yelled, growing anger.

Suzaku and the others ignored him and continued talking as though he wasn't there. "One of my warriors? Hmmm… yes he does resemble one of them. I thought he'd be smarter though." Suzaku announced.

"Suzaku? Are you gay or something? All of your warriors are guys and a few look like girls. One is even a cross dresser!" Sirus asked.

"I think Sirus has been looking into the crystal ball too much." Max whispered to Kim. They giggled quietly as Suzaku and Sirus argued.

"I'm not gay! And why are you paying so much close attention to my warriors?" Suzaku questioned.

"Because someone has to!" Sirus retorted.

"I knew you two were still here! Tasuki, who are these people?" the brown haired woman asked, stopping next the Tasuki.

"I am Suzaku, ruler of this land. Bow down before me or I will eat you." Suzaku declared, laughing.

"Is this some kind of trick? Our priestess hasn't called for you yet. Why are you here?" She asked.

"I had to retrieve the youngins'." Suzaku answered plainly.

"Hey! You're not that much older then us. Well, maybe older than Max, but not Sirus and I." Kim yelled.

"You're only a year older than me Kim!" Max whined, getting the pouty look again.

"Children! Stop whining!" Sirus ordered, speaking up. Max and Kin sent him the death glare and tackled him. "Suzaku! Help!"

Suzaku became overwhelmed with laughter and almost fell down. "Emperor Hotohori, please excuse any harms we may have caused you. We should leave now before they do any real harm." He apologized, still laughing.

"But I don't wanna go home Suzaku!" Max complained.

"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to stay. Where are Jess and Cass? They alone could destroy this country."

"They got taken away to jail." Kim stated, smiling. "But we didn't so can we stay? Sirus will make sure we don't do any more harm. We can help the Priestess."

Tasuki moved towards the emperor a little more. "Oh no. I wouldn't trust them here." He whispered.

"I don't know. Last time…" Suzaku started.

"Last time was an accident! We're older and more mature now." Kim put on a mature face.

"It was only three moths ago." Suzaku roared, growing annoyed at their begging.

"But in those three months I turned 15." Max said.

Tasuki's jaw dropped. "You're only 15?!?"

"Come Suzaku. Please? We promise we won't don't anything horrible…" Kim said, using her power of trickery.

"Don't bother using your powers, Kim. You know they don't effect me." Suzaku acknowledged.

"Dammit!"

Max walked up close to him. He began to sweat. "But mine do…"

Sirus pushed Max breaking her concentration. "Cut the crap, Suzaku, let them stay or they'll never leave us alone again." He stated the obvious.

"Would that be a bad thing?" Kim asked, putting her arm around the gods.

Suzaku sighed in defeat. "Fine you may stay." Kim and Max got a victory smirk. "On one condition. Sirus is staying and if you mess up he'll send you back, and you'll never be allowed down here again. I'll even take away your crystal balls."

"Oh man! You mean I have to stay with them?" Sirus complained.

"Aw come on. You know you love us," Max joked.

"Now that that's settled, I'm going home. The same rules applied to Jess and Cass. If either of them ever are free to cause trouble and do, all of you will be punished." Suzaku declared.

"That's not fair!" Max, Kim and Sirus yelled at the same time.

"Life never is." And with that, Suzaku disappeared.

"Argg! I hate him so much!" Max yelled.

"I know. If he wasn't that hot I'd so kick his ass," Kim agreed. She turned and found Tasuki and Hotohori staring at them, mouths open in disbelief. "Keep staring and I might do a trick."

"Come on Sirus. Let's take in the sights." Max suggested.

Hey what about me? Don't leave me with these stupid humans." Kim complained.

"Oh god. How could Suzaku abandon us with these people? What are they anyway?" Tasuki asked.

"Do you honestly believe that was Suzaku? After all, why would Suzaku let two little kids push him around?" Hotohori asked. Unfortunately for them, Kim heard that comment and had a little remark of her own.

"So, you don't recognize gods when you see them, eh? Maybe I should show you a little trick of my own. I may be younger than Suzaku but I sure as hell can kick your sorry ass any day!" Kim yelled. She moved towards the nervous emperor, her green eyes flashing.

"Calm down, Kim! Remember, if you screw this up it's your last chance." Sirus reminded her, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"She shook it off but stopped advancing on the emperor. "You're not worth it, girly man. You're just lucky Jess wasn't here. Lets go Max. Don't piss off goddess."

Max stuck out her tongue then blew a kiss towards the two warriors.

"Goddesses? That would explain a few things." Tasuki mumbled.
