Authors note 1: A.O.G any other goddess
Ranma goes to visit the Outers and to find out what's bothering Hotaru, when he gets to the Outers apartment he knocks on the door and Michiru answered it "glad you could make it." She said standing to one side and letting Ranma walk in and closes the door behind him and follows Ranma to the lounge.
"Where's the squirt?" Ranma asked and Haruka pointed upstairs and Ranma went upstairs and Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna looked at each other.
"Hey squirt, it's me." Ranma said as he stood outside Hotaru's door and it opened before Hotaru pulled Ranma inside and glomped him "oh Ranma, I'm glad you came." She said.
"Hey calm down, I'm just here to find out what's bothering you." Ranma added.
"I just can't stop thinking about you Ranma." Hotaru replied and Ranma scratched the back of his head "I'm flattered Hotaru, but I'm a very old demon… even though I don't look like it, I've done a lot of things. Some I regret now and some I don't." Ranma added to the conversation making Hotaru let go of him.
"You don't think I'm cute?" Hotaru pouted making Ranma sweat drop and sweat nervously as he was treading on very thin ice "look Hotaru, I do think you're cute but I'm only on holiday from my normal job in Nifelheim."
"Nifelheim?" Hotaru asked.
"My home, my mother is the queen of Nifelheim." Ranma told her.
"You're a demon prince?" Hotaru shouted whilst pointing at Ranma "yes I am, but that's not all my father happens to be Kami-Sama."
"Your half Kami?" she asked.
"Yes I am, but I choose to stay with my mother." Ranma told Hotaru who was now looking nervous "I haven't spoken to my father in years." He finished and looked at Hotaru and put a hand on her shoulder.
Downstairs the three other Outers were wondering what Hotaru and Ranma were doing "he better not be taking advantage of Hotaru." Haruka said and wanted to go upstairs and find out what was going on but Michiru and Setsuna stopped her.
"Ranma would never do that, he has a very high sense of honour." Setsuna said.
"Setsuna's right love, he would never take advantage of any woman." Michiru added before wrapping her arms around her lover's waist and leaned her head on Haruka's shoulders and started to kiss her neck and the two lovers went upstairs making Setsuna sigh before sitting back down.
"Hey Hotaru, fancy going somewhere?" Ranma asked.
"Thought you'd never ask." Hotaru said and latched onto his arm and they leave the apartment and Setsuna watched them from the window "two can play at this game." Setsuna said to herself and goes to her room to find an item of clothing to get Ranma's attention.
Urd was bored and wanted to do something to relieve the boredom of nothing happening and decided to watch some T.V and started flicking idly through the channels when Mara and Nabiki walked in and sat on either side of Urd and watched the T.V, elsewhere Ranma and Hotaru were walking through the streets of Juuban talking about things.
"So what's it like living in hell?" Hotaru asked.
"Demons don't live in hell, that's reserved for extremely bad people." Ranma replied.
"So let me get this straight, demons don't live in hell." Hotaru said and Ranma looked at her and nodded at her "you got that part right." He added.
"What about heaven?"
"Gods and Goddesses live in Asgard, even though I haven't been up there since I left with my mother." He told her before they stopped off at somewhere for something to eat and Ranma paid for the food before they left with their food.
"Something bothering you?" Hotaru asked Ranma.
"We're being followed." He replied and Hotaru looked around before Ranma pushed her out of the way, a second later an arrow was sticking out of the ground where Hotaru stood and Ranma bent down and picked the arrow up "Amazons." He said with disgust and snapped the arrow in half before throwing it onto the ground and they walked off. On a roof of a nearby building stood an Amazon holding a bow looking at the people with disgust before hopping off the roof.
"What was all that about?" Hotaru asked.
"When I was posing as a mortal I was in China with the moron and we came across a cursed training ground and the moron got cursed, me being a demon I can't be cursed so I made everyone think I was and we went to see some Amazons and the idiot ate the winnings for a tournament… and the rest is history." Ranma told her.
"Oh Ranma, why don't we go somewhere private?" Hotaru asked him.
"No, I know what you're thinking." He replied making Hotaru pout at him.
"You're no fun." She replied looking at Ranma's back as he started to walk off then stopped "you coming or what?" he asked and Hotaru quickly caught up to him and they head back to the Outers apartment to take Hotaru home and then head back to his apartment. Twenty minutes later Ranma walked into his apartment and his 'house mates' looked at him.
"Okay, spill it what happened?" Urd asked.
"Nothing happened." Ranma replied and went to the kitchen to make something to eat and drink.
"He's hiding something." Nabiki said and Mara nodded back in response "no I'm not." Ranma replied from the kitchen and his housemates looked at each other.
"Hey Urd, do you have a truth potion or something?" Mara asked.
"I've got loads of them, but they're all at the temple in Nekomi." Urd replied.
"That's no use." Mara replied and went back to watching the T.V and sighed, "anyone got a deck of cards?" Nabiki asked and the other two shook their heads and sighed out of boredom as Ranma walked back into the lounge and looked at his housemates.
"Bored?" Ranma asked and they nodded back in response.
"It's been quiet lately." Mara said.
"Well it's about to get interesting." Ranma told them making them look at him, "What do you mean?" his sister asked.
"I'll explain later." He said before walking over to a window and disappearing and reappearing in Nifelheim and goes to see his mother about something and to collect something.
Authors note 2: Team Wolf II picked a random Goddess and it turned out to be Peorth… the little Peorth fiend and me and Mirai 12 found out that he cheated and so we're going to redo the A.O.G vote in the next chapter.
