Revenge Of The Trickster Goddess

Chap.3

"So who is this?" Tenpou asked, staring at Rem. Goku beamed up at Tenpou, and replied,

"Rem! We found him on earth, and he's the nicest!" Goku turned to Rem. "Isn't that right?"

But Rem was already peeking around the marshal's large library, and he picked up a book.

"Oh, right." He agreed, not really listening. He flipped through the book and stopped at one page. "Hm…eight thousand years ago….." He flipped through the pages, and murmured, "Damn. Nothing about me. I bet kyoudai didn't want people to remember me." He put the book back. "I was just having fun and he had to ruin it." Rem shook his head.

"Rem, what was that you were muttering?" Konzen asked.

"Oh, nothing, Konzen. Nothing at all." Rem cheerfully replied.

"We're heading back to my room. Hopefully you'll be able to find your way around well enough." Konzen told the boy before storming out, pulling Goku behind him. Rem nodded, and, once he was quite sure the two were gone, he slipped towards the doorway.

"Where are you going, Rem?" Tenpou asked. Rem smiled at the god.

"Oh, I simply wanted to explore a bit, Tenpou-san. This place is so amazing."

"Hm….of course, Rem." Something about the boy simply set Tenpou on edge. Something about Rem….simply didn't feel right.

Tentei was signing some papers, when the doors swung open and Rem stormed in. Tentei stared at the boy and dismissed his presence. Rem slammed the doors shut and stomped up to Tentei's desk. Still Tentei ignored the boy. Rem growled and snatched the papers away.

"Kyoudai, it's been far too long." He chided, grinning. Tentei immediately jerked his head up to meet Rem's gaze.

"No…." He recognized that gaze, and he recognized those eyes. Only one person had that exact grin, that exact chuckle, that exact gaze. "It can't be."

"Oh, it can too be." Rem waved the papers in front of Tentei's face. "You know, some gods are quite dense, aren't they?" He chuckled, and threw the papers up in the air. They burst into flames, but Rem ignored them and grabbed Tentei by his collar.

"You can't be here! You were…you were-"

"Yes, I was. I was indeed. But such trivial matters such as banishment and exile can't keep me from getting my revenge. You've known me long enough to know that much."

"Do not try to intimidate me."

"Oh, I'm not. However, it's been said I excel at certain things without even trying. Perhaps this is one of those times."

"…G-guards!" Tentei snapped, the guards coming quickly. "I want our new friend, Rem, to be kept in his own cell. Make sure it is small and that he is chained tight. I don't want him escaping." Tentei panted. "I'll deal with him tomorrow."

"Of course, Tentei." The guards pushed Rem towards the door. As he exited the room, he shouted back to Tentei in a relatively calm voice,

"This won't stop me, kyoudai! One way or another, I will get my revenge! Just you wait and see! Just you wait!"

Tentei whimpered, and settled down into his seat.

'Tomorrow will be hell in heaven.'
