Les Yeux Violets- Thanks a bunch for reviewing. You know what's funny? I have no idea what the Goddess wants with her. Haha, well I have some idea.....no, never mind, no I don't. Any ideas?
Keita- Yeah, I thought it was cheesy too! BUT, alas I had no idea what else to do. Also, it wasn't like she just randomly fell in love with him right then, she'd been in love for a while, she just hadn't been able to realize it yet, ya know? Oh yeah I did mean Goodman, there's so much stuff that I've been meaning to go back and fix for the longest time, because every time someone reads the story they always ask the same questions. Of course, if you knew me you'd know that I'm far too lazy and if I have any free time on the comp., I'd rather spend it typing my story. Thanks! (P.S.- You liked "We only wanted the rice to make rice wine"? Cool, I haven't talked to PunkPixie for a long time...I kinda miss her.... Ok anyway that was the longest thank you ever! Lol)
Anyone else that reviewed (and there weren't many- no I have no qualms shamelessly guilting those who didn't review) that I didn't thank by name, you're always appreciated! =)
A/n - This chap is kinda short, but I just wanted to get last chapter posted, and it didn't fit with the next one....just in case anyone was wondering, you know.....okay any way, enough of me talking, on with the chapter!

"FATHER!" Chapter 9
"Father!" Ariana called, almost angerly as she held her pendent. "I need you!"
The stone blazed as the Crooked God appeared in front of her.
"Your first day with that thing and I'm already at your beck and call. You'd best not get used to it, Love. I said dire need. "
Love. Either Seth or Father has to stop calling me that, she thought. I can't think of Seth every time Father says it, and I can't think of Father every time Seth says it. She got off her bed and paced the room. "This is dire need. I have to know something. Today in your temple....something happened. I don't know what it was. It was like you....discarded something, something that veiled my feelings for Seth."
Ari noticed the quickly-hidden surprise in her father's eyes.
Did he think that I wouldn't notice? I am his daughter, after all.
"It was stupid of me to assume that you wouldn't realize what had happened," he said, as if he had read her mind. "But it's not for you to know, not now. I know you'd ask who would do such a thing, but that's not for you to know either."
Ariana opened her mouth in protest, the Crooked God held up his hand. "Leave the business of the gods to the gods," he said as he faded. "Just live your life, love. I'll always be there to take care of you."
Ari picked up her favorite gilded hairbrush and flung it at the spot where her father had stood. "I don't need to be taken care of! I need answers!" The brush hit the door with a bang and fell to the floor with a thud.
*Temper, Darling.* Her father's voice resounded in her head.
"It's my life!" (*A/N* "It's now or never! I ain't gunna live forever!" *ahem* *author blushes at her random outburst, she doesn't even like Bon Jovi*) she yelled back, always getting the last word. The party had been rowdy and she had drunk much more than she had intended to. Ari was on edge and off balance and in no mood to be taunted by vague, half-answers from pompous, overblown Gods who had too much power for their own good!
Ari crawled into bed angerly she didn't like the idea of unnameable deities meddling in her life.
Seth heard the one-sided conversation from the next room, and while mose would dismiss it as drunken talk, Seth knew who she was talking to. He sighed as he lied in his bed. He wanted so badly to know Ari and to make her love him like he loved her since he had first seen her two years ago.
**************************************************************************** *
A/N - Ok honestly, do you all think that Seth has become WAYYYY to mushy and soft and obsessed with Ari? Yeah, I do too. What do you think I should do about that? Anyway...that was really short, I've been doing my best to spread it out and make it look longer (can you tell? Lol). Also, I think I'm getting better, finally, aren't you proud of me? I actually typed a chapter in my misery! Oh, and I think I might have decided that I need a co- writer or someone to run my ideas past and give me ideas and whatnot....anyone interested? *looks around and see the blank looks on her small audience's faces. They realize that she's stopped rambling and pretend to pay attention* Crap...well that's to be expected, I suppose. Until next time (goddess know when that'll be!)
*Rhiannon*
