IF YOU'RE READING THIS BECAUSE FANFICTION TOLD YOU THAT THE STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED, IT HAS NOT. I SIMPLY DELETED THE AUTHOR'S NOTE CHAPTER THAT DEALT WITH EXTRA LIFE. I WAS NOT AWARE THE DELETION OF THE CHAPTER WOULD SHOW UP AS AN UPDATE FOR ALL OF YOU. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION AND INCONVIENCE
People along the street that contained Naruto's shop were somewhat confused as they walked along the road one early morning. A repetitive hammering filled the air and mixed with the soft tweeting of faraway birds. The sound grew stronger as one approached the store until they eventually stumbled upon its cause.
Naruto hammered diligently at the front door of his shop. With a hammer in one hand and the other holding tightly onto a thin nail, the boy was hard at work despite the early hours. His burnt orange sweatpants and black t-shirt made him look more like a class-skipper than an actual shop owner.
"And done." The blond announced to himself as he stepped back to observe his handiwork. The small amount of light from the early morning sun provided just enough illumination for the blond to view his work.
"'No random God visits allowed. Appointments must be made'." The blond read the sign out loud. The words were written in bright orange paint and had a thick black line running under it. To either side sat a black swirl while a phone number stood in the upper right corner of the wooden sign.
"This is not going to work." Kurama's voice echoed out in the blond's mind as the beast viewed the sign.
"It'll work. I'll make sure it will work. Now stop being so negative and play." Naruto stated back as he moved to walk into his shop. With his hammer in one hand, the blond pushed open the glass doors to the shop and walked approximately ten steps into the building before making an abrupt stop.
"No, no, no, no, no, no! Out. Get out!" Naruto yelled as he stomped his way up to his counter. The single person sitting at the object turned in their seat to face the blond. The figure had only a moment to react before they were pushed out of the seat towards the door.
"You gods can't just keep popping up randomly into my shop. No more! Read the sign. No more random vi-" Naruto silenced himself when he felt his grip on the person suddenly disappear. The next thing the blond knew, his intruder landed a heavy elbow to his stomach and had a knife to his throat.
"You dare lay your hands on me?" At the sound of the feminine voice, Naruto began to realize that his intruder was actually female. A carefully slow glance up revealed an almost angelic, tan face that was framed with long auburn hair. A pair of deep and viridian eyes bore into his skull, spilling the intent to kill onto him.
"Yeah, I dare do." Naruto responded as he ducked his head beneath the knife just mere moments before it would've slid his throat. From his lowered position, the blond attempted to sweep the woman's feet from out under her, only to have her jump deftly over his attack. From her aerial position, the woman sent her knife hurtling down towards the blond. Naruto was forced to roll out the way, lest he get pierced, causing the knife to land dully in his floor.
"This is why you guys aren't allowed in my shop anymore. You broke my floor!" Naruto yelled as he dashed towards the woman. The instant her feet touched the ground, the blond was upon her. A jab launched by the shinobi was easily deflected by the woman, making her respond with an attempted hook strike. Before the hit could land, Naruto grabbed onto the woman's offending limb, and, with his new grip on her, sent her flying into the air. The strength behind the throw was enough to send the woman flying across the room into the stack of chair and tables leaned against the wall. Unable to right her flight in time, the unknown woman crashed into the assortment of stacked tables and chairs.
"I just made more of a mess for myself." Naruto mumbled to himself seconds before he was forced to duck down to avoid a table that was sent flying towards his head. The blond groaned when he heard the table slam into the wall behind him. The noise of wood shattering into a countless amount of splinters made him flinch. That was another mess he had to clean.
"Stop throwing my tables!" Naruto yell just as he was forced to grab a table out of the air. He gently set the piece of wood down, only to have to immediately grab a chair out of the air. Frustration quickly began to build up within the boy as he was continuously forced to catch table after table along with a few chairs. This pattern continued for a full minute before the blond decided enough was enough.
"Stop!" Naruto yelled. His shout went entirely ignored by the woman as she reached down to grab another table. Before she could wrap her fingers around the wooden surface, Naruto dashed towards her. By the time she had lifted the table above her head to throw it, the blond was in front of her. With her hands occupied, she was completely unable to block the heavy punch the blond sent careening into her stomach. With a dry heave and a fair bit of spit, the woman dropped the table to the ground with a resounding ground as she reached down to clutch her aching stomach.
"Savage." The woman muttered out as she held on to her stomach.
"Im a savage? Look what you've done to my shop!" Naruto exclaimed as he gestured towards the remains of some of his chairs and tables. Countless splinters, chair legs and half broken wood now scattered the floor of his room.
"You touched me! No man has the right to touch me, especially one as violent and hedonistic as you!" The woman shot back at the blond with full vigor. Her comment earned her a loud scoff from the boy.
"I dont know who you think you are nor do I do care, lady, But when you randomly show up to my shop, I have the right to kick your ass out whenever I want." This comment seemed to set off the mysterious woman as she rose up from curled up position with a new fire in her eyes.
"I am the goddess Artemis! I will not be trounced or walked over by some infant god who reeks of arrogance."
"Arrogance?" It was Naruto's turn to sound offended as he spoke. "How am I the arrogant one when you're the person who just appears randomly in MY shop and get mad when I tell you to get the hell out? Sounds like you're being the arrogant one there." Naruto shouted right back at the goddess. Silence settled in the shop as the anger within the Artemis' eyes began to slowly die down. Her form became much more relaxed as the tension within her body faded.
"Your point is well-constructed and has been received." Artemis came off as much more docile as she spoke. Naruto had to stop himself from slapping himself at the utter 180 in tone the goddess had undertaken. It was like watching a warrior suddenly transform into a princess.
"Though" Just as these thoughts were crossing the blond's mind, Artemis' eyes seemed to become lit once more. "That does not excuse the fact that you unnecessarily put your hands on me. I couldn't and still cannot let such an action 'go'. My actions were unneeded and I'll do my part in apologizing for it and the various damages caused by them." Artemis offered a curt bow of her head after talking.
"For once, one of these gods is making a bit of sense." Kurama voiced his opinion from the confines of his partner's mind. The blond couldn't help but agree. For someone who was supposed to be the number one man hater in existence, Artemis was actually acting pretty cordial and civil … at least now she was.
"I understand and accept your apology. I also see that trying to literally shove you out the door probably wasn't the best way to handle the situation, so I'm sorry too." Naruto offered up his own apology with a bow of his head.
"Understood and accepted." Artemis said before the shop descended into silence once more. With the animosity between the two now supposedly buried and done with, the two were left awkwardly standing in the middle of the wrecked store. The two spent several long, silent moments staring around at the wrecked remains of tables and chairs before someone spoke
"Due to my … over reaction, it is only fitting that I help fix what I have broken." Artemis spoke, breaking the silence. Naruto perked up at the sound of her voice as he observed the goddess close her eyes.
"Thanks! The shop opens in thirty minutes so we have to work quick to get this all cleaned up." At this, Artemis smirked before a soft chuckle left her lips.
"Do not worry. Thirty minutes is more than enough."
Koneko had long since learned to expect the unexpected when it came to her boyfriend. After encountering devils, angels, gods and dragons who all seemed to have some type of connection with the blond, she had decided that nothing was too far out of the realm of possibility when it came to him.
This line of thinking was put to the test, once again, as she pushed open the doors to his shop. After a long day of school, she had expected to stroll casually into the store, wave hello to some of the regulars that occupied the shop then take up residence on her boyfriend's lap where he would unload all of his leftover treats into her mouth.
Instead, she was greeted with a series of sights and sounds she would rather not have experienced. If she had to equate the sound of the inside of the shop to something, she would most likely say a bar. Her ears could pick up an almost innumerable amount of conversations taking place. All of them having a feminine tone behind them.
The sight that greeted her was even less appealing than the sound. A literal sea of young women occupied her boyfriend's shop. Every single seat was filled by girls, all of them wearing the same uniform. A mesh of dark-green colored cloaks protected their upper body while form fitting shorts covered their rears. The girls seemed rather excited about something as they happily talked and consumed the food around them.
"..." The girl said nothing for several seconds before beginning to walk through the sea of girls towards the front counter. The walk wasn't too difficult for her since the girls basically parted a way for her. As she reached halfway across the store, she spotted her boyfriend talking excitedly with a figure sat at his counter. From the long hair and the feminine curves, the Nekoshou swiftly deduced that the person he was talking to was female. Unconsciously, her pace increased as she came upon this realization. Despite her swift movements, her steps were soft and silent as she basically glided up to the duo.
"So, I was sitting in the middle of the forest and I-" Naruto found himself when interrupted when he felt a pair of hands land soundly on his thigh. Before he could react, he found that his girlfriend had suddenly occupied the empty space in his lap. The blond found himself effectively trapped within his seat as the Nekoshou pressed herself firmly into his body.
"I assume you know her." Artemis voiced while a single eyebrow arched itself higher on her face. As she looked down at her girl, the goddess was surprised to find the young devil returning her look with a hard glare. The woman could sense the tiniest amounts of hostility leaking out from girl, all of which was directed at her.
"Yes. She just so happens to be my girlfriend." As the blond spoke, he felt Koneko grab a strong hold of his hand and move it to the top of his head. Without any words or signs being exchanged, the blond automatically began to gently rub and scratch at the girl's scalp. Artemis noticed that the same instant that the blond started his action, the tension within the girl almost melted away fully.
"Well, I am Artemis, young maiden. It is nice to meet you."
"I'm no maiden." Koneko stared directly into the god's eyes as she spoke. Naruto sputtered at her words while the other girls at the counter blushed in slight embarrassment at the girl's words. Artemis had the most tame reaction as she simply raised an eyebrow at the girl's words.
"I apolo-"
"Aren't you the goddess that hates all men?" Koneko blurted out in the middle of Artemis' apology. This time, the Nekoshou's words had the effects of angering almost every female at the counter, including Artemis. The smile that had been present on the goddess' face only a minute prior had faded away as a deep frown took its place.
"I do not hate all men. I am just an avid admirer and supporter of the fairer sex." Artemis managed to keep her calm while she replied. It wouldn't do well to ignite a conflict between the god she had just buried the hatchet with.
"So you're a lesbian." Despite the dozens of conversations taking place within the store, Koneko's words managed to silence each and every person within the shop. All at once, dozens of glare were leveled onto the devil. Artemis was a part of the dozens as a downright murderous look crossed her face.
"What did you just call me?" Naruto wanted to groan at the low tone the goddess was using. All the work he had done to earn the trust was about to be wiped away by a single comment.
"A lesbian. You said you admired the fairer sex. That usually means that someone is interested in women." Koneko paused briefly to meet the angry looks that were being sent her way. "Makes sense with all these girls around you."
By the time the first girl could move her butt from her seat, a blond clone appeared behind them. It was only when they began to reach for the various knives and daggers that the clones actually moved to restrain them. All around the store, the group of hunters yelled and cursed at the young girls as they were held back by copies of the shop owner.
Artemis was among one of the few within the store to not move after Koneko spoke. Naruto and the Nekoshou were the remaining others. Instead of attempting to kill the girl, the goddess had instead settled on staring intensely at the youth.
"Child, your jealousy is palpable, even from this side of the counter." Even with the uproar that her girls were making, the woman's cold words could be heard by Koneko and her living seat.
"Why would I be jealous of a lesbian virgin?" Without any hesitation, the Nekoshou shot back with her own amount of chilled venom. Just like the goddess', the girl's words carried strong, even over the pack of angry women.
"Because even this virgin goddess would be able to tame your man better than you can, little devil cat.
When Naruto felt Koneko rise up slightly from his lap, he made the decision that the conversation had gone on for a little too long. He quickly wrapped his arms around the girl's waist before standing from his stool.
"I think that's enough talking." The blond quickly shouted before either woman could speak. He quickly turned towards the back room, and with Koneko still in his arms, marched into it. The teen managed to get halfway into the room before he deposited the girl onto the ground.
"Koneko." The devil refused to look up at her boyfriend. Now separated from the cause of her agitation, the consequences of Koneko's actions were crashing down upon her. The immaturity that fueled them filled her with shame beyond shame.
"Koneko, look at me." The exterior of Koneko's stubbornness began to break apart at the repeated sound of boyfriend's voice. The girl attempted to ignore the request, but, ever so slowly, she found herself looking up at the blond. Eventually, her eyes met with his cerulean ones.
No words were exchanged between the two as they stared into each other's eyes. They stood motionless for several seconds before Naruto dipped his head towards the girl. Koneko found her chin clutched within his grip before he seized her lips with his own.
An involuntary purr built up in her chest and reverberated through her throat as Naruto's lips burnt into her own. She couldn't care less as her full attention was on the kiss. Despite it being an action of silence, she could feel the full range of her boyfriend's emotion through the liplock. It was as if contact had unlocked the vault that contained Naruto's feelings. She could feel his happiness, his grief, his anger, his lust and, most of all, she could feel his love for her. The feeling was so strong that Koneko found herself drowned within it. Another involuntary moan left her as her mind blanked due to the overwhelming emotions.
As soon as the urge to breathe came to her, Koneko felt Naruto separate from her. Her eyes immediately sought out his in an attempt to confirm the storm of emotions she had just experienced. The cloudy blue eyes that stared back at her almost made the girl choke up. They spelled out a sea of affection that seemed to be reserved solely for her.
"Is that better?" Naruto's voice managed to keep the young girl from completely breaking down in the back of the shop. Koneko gave a small nod before rushing forward and capturing the blond's waist within her arms. It took only a moment for the blond to reciprocate the hug, locking the two into an affectionate embrace. The hug lasted for several long seconds before Naruto reluctantly pulled away.
"They're still out there." The blond mumbled low enough so that only she could hear him. Koneko nodded in understanding. There was no hesitation or doubt in her movements. The jealousy she had once felt was now experience she had just gone through made sure that there was no need for any of it.
"I understand." Koneko whispered back before offering the boy one of her rare smiles. Naruto immediately returned the gesture before consuming her small form in another hug. The contact lasted for several seconds before the blond released the girl from his grasp and turned to exit the room. The blond managed to make it two steps towards the door before he was suddenly halted as a hand grabbed tightly onto his wrist.
***Lemon***
When the blond turned to question Koneko, he was caught off-guard by the look in the girl's eyes. During his initial kiss with her, Naruto had opened his empathetic link to the devil, allowing his emotions to pour onto her. From the kiss, she was able to sense and feel every range of emotion that was contained within him. He had used it in the hopes of ridding her of her jealousy, and it seemed to work.
It also seemed to have the added effect of revealing his lust to the girl. The look on Koneko's face revealed that the lust had been well-received and was currently being reciprocated as she clutched almost desperately onto his arm.
"Naruto…" The way she spoke his name brought that lust roaring to the surface of his mind as a shiver ran down his spine. Her airy breath and lustful eyes were making it hard to pay attention to anything but her as she closed in on him once again.
"But Koneko…" The blond halted her approach with his arms. A subtle glance towards the entrance of the room revealed the cause of the boy's hesitation to the girl. But, even with hint given to her, Koneko broke through her boyfriend's lax attempt to hold him back and embraced him once more.
The blond had to hold in a groan as Koneko's body almost seemed to meld into his own. The heat that had been building up in the pit of his stomach exploded outwards at her touch, filling him with the same desire he had been just barely holding back. The devil seemed to sense that as she sent the front of her body grinding in closer to the blond, rubbing her hardening nipples and thigh against the boy's body. Any attempt at stopping the girl immediately died in teen's mind as a shadow clone formed to take his place behind the counter.
As instantly as the clone was created, Naruto dipped down to capture the girl's ass within his hands. The devil moved her lips to moaned but found herself impeded as she was quickly lifted into the air and forced into another kiss. It didn't take long for her to respond by wrapping her own arms around him, securing her place on his body.
Unlike the kiss they shared before, this one was fueled by only one thing. Lust. The two had already shown each other how much they loved each other. Now, it was time to show just how much they wanted.
Koneko wanted to release a gasp when she felt her back smack soundly against the wall, but was instead left whining when Naruto suddenly transitioned his lips to her neck. The girl sounded more like a dog than anything else as the blond attacked her throat with his lips. Each bite and lick sent a wave of arousal soaring down her spine where it eventually exited in her now wet pussy.
The Nekoshou couldn't help but grin when she felt her boyfriend move one of his hand to her lower leg. The boy wasn't wasting any time in getting to the main course of action. Their love for each other had been proven, so the foreplay could be skipped. They both knew what they and they both wanted it now.
The girl's grin was quickly wiped from her face as she forcibly bit her lip to hold in another moan. Naruto had bit a particular sensitive spot on the crook of her neck, nearly sending her cross-eyed. The blond seemed to be hitting all the right spots at the moment and it was driving the girl crazy.
After what seemed like forever, even though it was only for a few seconds, Naruto began to slide his hand up the girl's leg. Halfway through his journey, the blond found his goal facilitated as his fingers cut through a small stream of liquid. Seeking its source, the blond sped his hand's advancement and was surprised to see that nothing impeded his 'prize'.
"No panties." It was Naruto's turn to shiver as Koneko whispered the softly into his ears. The boy didn't know why but the way she said the words and the taboo surrounding her actions quickly drove him off the edge. His movements came off as a blur as he briefly relinquished his grip on his girlfriend's ass to free his straining cock. The organ came popping out of its prison in a wave of heat and pheromones that served to drive Koneko over that same edge.
"Inside of me." The girl didn't even need to say that as the blond was already in the process of doing so. His hands found their way back to the malleable flesh of her ass seconds before the full length of his cock invaded the confines of her vagina. Any pretenses of being loud left them both as their combined moans echoed throughout the room. Koneko screwed her eyes shut as she felt her pussy tremble and shake around her boyfriend's cock. Naruto was in a similar position as his member seemed to almost jump in joy within its new home.
The feeling only lasted for moment, however, as Naruto pulled back his hips, unsheathing himself from the girl. Koneko felt an involuntary hiss leave her lips from the loss of warmth and fullness, but was quickly silenced when the blond slammed back into her. Her body shook in tandem with the thrust as her skirt rode up the length of her leg and her breast bounced erratically within the confines of her bra. The power behind the blow stirred a wanting for more and the girl knew the perfect way to fulfill such a craving.
Naruto could only to himself when he felt Koneko raise her body from his. He could see that the girl was attempting to gain some type of control over the situation, and while he admired the decision, he knew he couldn't let it happen. So when he felt that just the tip of his cock was left inside the girl, he released his grip on her and thrusted upwards. The combined effort of gravity and his hips sent his cock spearing back into the girl's pussy, ripping a loud scream from her throat as an intense stab of pleasure was felt within her.
The blond didn't allow her any rest as he quickly retracted his hips, only to thrust back into her heated and wet folds. They welcomed his cock with happy ease each time as he hammered into her over and over. Each thrust elicited a grunt from the teen as he attempted to top the force behind each thrust. The blond gripped the girl's ass harder as he felt a splash over liquid spray over his fingers. It wouldn't do well to lose his grip now.
Koneko was in her own world of ecstasy as Naruto fucked her. Her plan on getting the blond to 'go wild' on her had effectively worked as he thrust in and out of her with reckless abandon. She could feel her pussy cry out in ecstasy as the boy's cock milked out every drop of cum from it. Each thrust sent the equivalent of a lightning strike through her lower body and drove her closer to ecstasy. All the girl could do was throw her head back and moan as her boyfriend fucked her closer and closer to the edge.
The girl didn't need to wait for long as one final thrust filled her pussy once more. No longer able to contain herself, a torrent of liquid flowed out of her and onto the boy's cock. A drawn out moan left her lips as she felt her body shake and spasm from the intense wave of pleasure running through it. The sensation lasted for several seconds before she felt herself go limp as all her energy left her.
***End Lemon***
"Better." Koneko mumbled into Naruto's chest. She smiled when she felt her pillow rumble from the boy's chuckling. Her smile quickly disappeared when she felt herself being lifted and removed from the blond.
"Now, I really have to get back out there." Naruto said the girl as he carried her over to the cot lying in the corner of the room. Koneko paid the boy's words barely any attention as sleep began to overtook her. The girl could barely put up any resistance as her boyfriend laid her onto the bundle of blankets. She did manage to smile when she felt a pair of lips land against her cheek. That was the last sensation she felt before sleep claimed her.
Naruto sighed as he redid the zipper to his pants. This day had spiraled into something completely different than what he had expected. Though, looking at his girlfriend's sleeping form, he couldn't exactly complain much.
"Lets just hope that Artemis and her gang has calmed down." The blond thought to himself as he straightened out his shirt. He gave one last quick glance down at himself to make sure everything was in order. Once satisfied, he sucked in a large breath before stepping through the curtain door of the backroom and into the front of the shop.
As soon as Naruto exited the back room of his shop, a dozen pair of eyes were placed upon him. With those eyes came a dozen blushing faces as they attempted to look everywhere but his face.
"Boss." Naruto looked over at his clone and saw that the copy was rubbing the back of his neck. His stomach immediately dropped at the sight as he knew that was the "I messed up in some type of way" sign.
"We … ah … we could hear you guys." It was Naruto's turn to blush as his words registered within his brain. The clone didn't have much time to bask in his originator's realization before he was promptly dispelled, leaving the blond to face the group of women alone.
"I see she wasn't merely jesting about not being a maiden." Artemis' words broke the silence of the situation. Her word seemed to drive the her followers deeper into embarrassment while bringing Naruto's attention onto her.
"Well...yeah." That was all the teen could say in response. Being caught having sex in the backroom of his shop by a goddess and her lackeys was definitely not part of his plans for the day.
"You seem to be taking this well .. at least better than they are." A quick glance around the shop offered the same results as before. Not a single female within the store met eyes with him. They all just simply blushed and looked away.
"In my household, what I just heard could be considered tame. You must've forgotten that I am a Greek goddess. I'm not as much as a prude as the legends and books make me out to be. I've had the misfortune of witnessing my father, brother, aunt, uncles, cousins, almost every single member of my extensive family having sex. They're a promiscuous bunch." Artemis casually wiped away the blond's worries with a wave of her hand.
"For a goddess of virginity, you seem to encounter a lot of sex." The blond's comment earned him a glare from the woman. Unlike the ones she had previously sent his way, this one didn't seem to hold the same malice that those had.
"For a god of sweets, you don't seem to act very sweet in your lovemaking." Naruto blushed at the woman's words but she got no further reaction from him. The initial embarrassment of getting caught had faded, leaving very little that could make him flustered.
"Koneko certainly wasn't complaining." The blond's mutterings were lost to the majority of the room as conversations began to pick up once more. Artemis was among one of the few who clearly heard the blond and showed it with a small chuckle, much to the boy's surprise. He had expected a much more prude reaction from the woman.
"Yes, yes … I've heard similar noises from my brother's temple. Some male, some female, both similar in tone." The goddess casually mentioned before taking a small sip from her cup. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the remark as he took a seat back down onto his stool.
"Oh really? What other interesting things happen on that mountain of yours?" Ever since reading up on some of the basic information of the gods, the blond had been curious on their daily lives. Artemis could prove to be a wealth of knowledge.
"Do you have the time to listen?" Artemis asked with a raised eyebrow. Naruto took a brief glance around at the shop. No one new had come into the shop and it seemed like it was going to stay that way for a while. With Koneko out of commission, he seemed like he had nothing but time on his hands.
"Sure. Lay it on me."
A shadow came to life on Kuoh's rooftops with a small pop and a puff of black smoke. The entity wasted no time with its seemingly new life as it danced over to the adjacent rooftop in a flurry of motion. Its stride was incredibly smooth and graceful as it almost seemed to glide from rooftop to rooftop with practiced ease. Its movements warranted no sound and left no marks as it carved its way through the night.
Its journey came to a sudden stop as its feet smacked against a rooftop. Nothing in particular made this rooftop stand out from any others. A small chimney could be seen, poking its head out on the other side of the roof. Wood pallets, rotten by time and rain, were stacked clumsily in one corner. All in all, the rooftop didn't look special at all.
What made it special was its location. Located directly across from the rooftop was an establishment owned by one Naruto Uzumaki. Even at the late hour, the shop was bustling as dozens of people could be seen within it. The blond could be seen from the rooftop, laughing and talking with a woman with long, auburn hair.
"Pathetic." The shadow spoke, revealing an almost silk-like voice. The darkness surrounding its head faded away in dark flakes, showing the sneering face of Loki as the god stared down at the shop.
"The newborn is already making allies with the Greeks." Loki muttered to himself as he recognized the brunette as the Greek goddess of the wild. His interactions with the woman were horrendously few.
"I shall feel no guilt for this then." Loki reached behind him into the pack that was strapped to his back. The god rummaged around in the bag for several seconds before an exclamatory chuckle left his lips, signaling he had found the object of his desire. With a slight pull, the god began to pull out an object that looked way too large for the dimensions of the pack.
The object was a spear, dictated by its pointed edge and long wooden shelf. The blade of the spear shined a dark green in the limited moonlight. Several mistletoes hung precariously from the weapons service.
"The weapon that killed Baldur. The kiss of death." Loki chuckled to himself at his rather fitting name. The mistletoe spear fiasco had been one of his favorite tricks he had played on the Norses. Even the punishment that followed it couldn't take away from the joy he felt at the gods' shocked faces when the weapon killed Baldur.
"A fitting weapon to end a virgin goddess." Loki thought out loud as he readied the weapon. The man took a javelin-esque stance as he aimed the tip of the spear at Artemis' unsuspecting head. With one throw, he would bring the full might of the Greek pantheon down upon the blond. The blond would be undoubtedly blamed for the murder as slipped away into the night, unsuspected and free of pursuit.
It was with this thought and a mighty heave that the god sent the spear flying down towards the unsuspecting god.
At least, that's what would've happened if the spear wasn't suddenly snatched out of the man's grip. With shock etched onto his face, the god turned around the confront his would-be thief. His heart sank down into his stomach when he came face to face with a rather agitated looking five-tailed dolphin horse.
"Are you the horse molester?" The deep voice of the creature froze the god on the spot. The man couldn't even debate the ridiculousness of the title as the beast towered over him, its body easily reaching over ten meters.
"Answer me before I disembowel you with this toothpick." The beast roared out after several seconds of silence. The god's mind began to catch up with his body as he moved to retrieve his spear from the odd hybrid giant.
"I am no molester. I am Loki, go-" That was all the god could get out before he found one of the beast's five tails wrapped firmly around his throat. His connection with the ground and his ability to breath were cut off as the dolphin-horse raised him from the roof until the two were eye level.
"I've heard you've done things to my kind. Sick things that no male or female, god or not, are allowed to do." Loki scratched uselessly at the creature's tail in an attempt to escape. For some odd reason, his shape-shifting and teleportation seemed to be inaccessible to him at the moment, leaving him to the beast's mercy.
"These things cannot go unpunished. You'll consider what Naruto-san did to you as merciful when I'm done for you." It was at this point in the conversation that the god noticed that one of the beast's tails was slowly wrapping its way around his leg. A sickening realization came upon the god as he stared back into the Kukuo's eyes.
"The tables have turned, tiny man."
The screams that echoed throughKuoh that night would forever be remembered by the wicked beast that caused them.
AN: For those of you who don't follow my RWBY crossover, this chapter was originally supposed to come out on the 12th. This decision was made in combination with my choice to give you guys two chapters by the end of Christmas Day. The plan is still in motion. I just wanted to inform you all of such.
I hope that you all enjoyed the chapter. This chapter could be considered filler-ish compared to what I have planned for the next couple of chapters. Though, the introduction of Artemis was a bit vital. There is a particular reason I am introducing all these gods, so trust that I'm not just throwing them randomly into the story for no reason.
If any of you are questioning why the hell Kukuo just randomly showed up out of nowhere, you'll see next chapter.
Review with any questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, etc. Enjoy your weekend!
