Chapter 12
Well, well, well... What do we have here? Lory smirked internally as he felt the anger and irritation just roll off of Ren. This I certainly didn't expect. "Fine... I'll let you take the part, but don't expect any help from me if you find yourself in a bind."
There was no way he was going to let Kuon know of his identity until he discovered it on his own. It wasn't how they all had agreed on playing their little game. Certainly they saw each other as family, but to come out and confess it would be against the agreed upon rules. So, Zeus would sit back and enjoy the cluelessness of his family and wait for them to come to him like Kyoko, Ten and Ruto did.
He smiled to himself with the realization. "Oh!" He chuckled. "I get to watch those two dance around each other again."
Ruto just shook his head and sighed. He remembered how frustrating it was to watch those two find love with each other the first time around. He hoped that whatever mortal that decided to get between them, didn't suffer the same fate as the last. Hopefully they would be a little more discreet with their natural abilities as gods. Perhaps I should look into this Sho Fuwa that my sister grew up with, in my spare time. He silently pondered.
Kyoko sighed in frustration. "I still don't understand what happened Moko-san. I really didn't want to take the part of Mio, but something just drew me to him when he asked. I couldn't help myself. Something was just telling me that it was the right decision." She groaned.
"Mo, you are a mess." Kanae shook her head. She knew exactly why Kyoko was drawn to him. "I know, how about we go out and celebrate like we used to? It is your first modern acting job." She suggested.
Kyoko looked at her in confusion. "Celebrate? How?"
"Let our hair down. Be ourselves for a night. We can go to that club over by the Darumaya. What was it called?.. Oh yeah! Club Lotus." Kanae smiled mischievously.
"We can't go there. We're teenagers right now!" Aoidḗ gasped.
Mnḗmē rolled her eyes and shimmered to her original visage.
Aoidḗ smirked with understanding and did the same.
Standing before Aoidḗ was a copy of herself. One sister with sapphire eyes and the other with gold. They both sighed and smiled softly. The only pair of eyes that were missing was a pair light green. "Too bad we haven't found Melétē yet." Mnḗmē whispered a little sad.
Aoidḗ nodded. "We'll find her. She's like us. She won't be able to resist being what we are."
Mnḗmē sighed. "Mo, enough of the depressing thoughts. We're going to celebrate getting our first real acting jobs tonight. Who knows maybe we'll find Phobos and Deimos tonight." She swiped her hands down her body and changed her attire to something a bit more appropriate for clubbing.
"I still don't see why were have to come to a place like this. I thought you didn't like clubs." Phobos groused as his brother dragged him in.
Deimos' green eyes searched the large room as he dragged his almost unwilling brother to the bar, while every female eye turned to take in the beauty of the blond-haired, green-eyed male twins that were built like Greek gods. "Think about it Phobos."
Phobos looked at him confused. "Think about what?"
Deimos sighed in frustration. "They're muses. The goddesses of the arts. Don't you think they will be attracted to somewhere like this? Don't you think that Aoidḗ and Mnḗmē would love a place like this?"
Phobos cocked an eyebrow in understanding, nodded and ordered a drink. "I think you may be on to something, but how will we recognize them?"
Deimos chuckled. "Brother... Think about what you just asked. If we can take on our old appearance, don't you think they will be able to do the same thing?"
"True, true..." Phobos looked into his drink thoughtfully. "What makes you think they will be here tonight?"
Deimos rolled his eyes and gave his brother a noogie. "Do I have to do your thinking for you too? Phobos... She got the part for Mio. They are going to want to celebrate and this club is the closest to the place she's staying and I seriously doubt that Mnḗmē would allow her to go anywhere like this by herself."
Phobos gave him a surprised look. "Do you really think Mnḗmē will be with her tonight? I mean, do you think they've already found each other?"
Deimos shrugged. "I don't see why not and she seems to be really close to that girl she calls Moko-san. I wouldn't be surprised if that was her." He commented as he took another drink of his whiskey, leaving Phobos to his own thoughts.
{He was confused. Never had any creature given him this tiny twinge of fear that he now felt as he gazed into those interesting sapphire eyes while she lectured him. It was exciting. It actually made his blood course rapidly through his veins.
"MO! You tell that pretty boy twin of yours, that if he even thinks of other women when he's pursuing my sister, I will personally make sure that he is incapable of reproduction. She does not easily give out her affections and she is very sensitive." She growled.
Phobos couldn't help the shivers she kept sending down his spine, it was exhilarating. He smirked. Unlike his brother, he had a pretty good hunch what this feeling was and he was going to embrace it with gusto. He quickly grabbed the fiery little goddess mid-rant, wrapped his arms tightly around the struggling female and kissed her for all he was worth, shutting her up immediately.
Mnḗmē looked up at him with blushing cheeks and wide eyes. "Mo... Why did you do that?" She whispered as she shivered in his arms.
Phobos chuckled softly and stared into her eyes lovingly. "Because, unlike my rock-headed brother, I know what I'm feeling and what I want." He whispered huskily. "And I'm not afraid to go after it." He smiled at her softly.}
The longer they waited the more nervous the twins got at the prospect of meeting their lovers. Would it happen tonight or, would they have to wait until another time? Did the girls still feel the same way about them as they did before they were separated?
They were pulled from their thoughts by the sudden murmurs that fell over the club as the sisters entered looking every bit the goddesses that they were. Phobos smirked and Deimos was struck with awe. Never in their lives had they been so relieved, elated and nervous all at the same time.
Phobos elbowed Deimos in the ribs. "Good job." He whispered to him.
Deimos glanced at his brother and smirked. "Did you ever doubt me?"
Phobos chuckled and shook his head. "I think we should go get them before these men get any ideas."
Deimos agreed and set out across the dance floor to his beautiful goddess of all things music.
