Of Heaven and hell
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and its characters or certain places of Greek/Roman mythology mentioned in the story. I do own the plot and everything else.
The world was divided into two divinity realms, places where Gods lived. The divinity realm is divided into the up-dwellers and down-wielders, also known as those who live in Olympus and those who live in the Underworld. There have always been tension and discrimination between the two realms but can one Goddess change that?
Chapter 5: Enchanting
The introductions have been done and everyone were enjoying the food and music, the seraphs played their harps and the deities made small talk like how mortals seemed to do. They were, for a few moments, normal. The deities were all enjoying despite what some of their reactions were.
"Well, Is everyone having a good time?" Naruto asked the crowd and was pleased to find out utterances of agreement. "It seems that the Gods and Goddesses can really party" the audience cheered enthusiastically as they watched the MC walk around the stage.
"We sure as hell can!" Ino shot up with her arms in the air as she exclaimed. They all cheered on the perky blonde and clapped for her boldness. "Wooooooooooooo!" She exclaimed as she moved to the beat which wasn't there at all.
"Ino-chan, I think you've had enough Essence" Hinata giggled as she tried to gently pull the blonde back down to her seat who answered her with a giggle and slurred speech. The blonde faught and clumsily pushed back at her 'assailants' also known as her friends.
"Maybe Hina-chan, you haven't had enough Essence" Ino drawled out as she swayed her hips to a non-existent beat. The deities found her intoxicated antics hilarious and they just cheered her on and encouraged her antics even more. Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend and continued to poke at her food.
"Oi Sakura-chan which of those handsome Gods of Mischief did you see in the Garden of Love anyway?" Ino pointed at the three shocked Uchiha men who's eyes narrowed for a split second but then regained composure.
"Shut up pig! Forgive my friend, mother seem to have rubbed off on her" Sakura stood up and wrapped an arm around the intoxicated blonde as Hinata tried to keep Ino for taking even more drinks.
"I am not drunk, not drunk at all" Ino swore as she raise her right hand clumsily. " I swear to Amaterasu I am not drunk"
The crowd found the trio interesting and watched them as they helped the bellowing blonde out of the ballroom.
"Saku-hime, let's not leave. There are a lot of hot hot men here" Ino whined. "Bring me to the hot men!" She made a grabby hand action at the table of the male deities and winked.
"Oh Ino-chan, please stop struggling and just let us help you stop making a fool of yourself" Hinata sighed as they dragged the surprisingly strong drunkard they call a friend. Sakura giggled as she listened to Hinata's silent plea to the blonde goddess.
They were almost out and was met by Ino's nymph, Yuka, who took over into taking the bumbling girl back to her quarters to freshen up and to possibly rest.
"I'm sorry about that little intermission by our very good friend Ino, I urge you to continue with the program. Naruto-kun" Sakura did a curtesy playfully and walked back to her seat with Hinata.
"Thank you for that wonderful intermission, and for gracing us with your presence Goddess of Beauty. I believe she is now going to replenish her energy to entertain us with her clumsy clumsy dancing" Naruto chuckled and shifted his cards.
"It is now the time to do a little matchmaking, there are number cards under your chair which will match a number card on the opposite side's chair and you two have 70 minutes in heaven" Naruto read swiftly as he motioned for them to look under their chairs. Everyone went off with their partners in different corners of the ballroom, and chatted away.
"Did anyone get 13?" Sakura called out and saw pale hand raised in the crowd. It belonged to one of the handsome Uchiha men, Shisui Uchiha specifically. He stood up and her breath hitched at the sight. He had a warm smile adorning his handsome features and the way his ruby eyes stared into her soul made her knees wobble.
"I got 13, Lucky number 13 to be paired with the Goddess of Love" Shisui walked towards the stunned girl and offered his hand. She accepted the hand and held it. Shisui planted a soft kiss on Sakura's knuckles and linked their arms together respectfully.
"Damn, what do they have in the Underworld to harbor such hot men?" Sakura thought and Shisui chuckled. The rosette Goddess's eyes widened as she realized that she had said that out loud and blood started rushing to her pale cheeks. Shisui shook his head as he continued walking until he was right in front of her.
"Lord Uchiha, I'm really sorry about that. I'm pleased to have made your acquaintance" Sakura buried her face in her hands in embarrassment and peeped out as she acknowledged him respectfully this time.
"You flatter me so much, your highness. I did not take offense in being called hot but it would have been better if you thought of only myself as hot. Call me Shisui, Lord Uchiha is my father and between you and me. I'm a lot better looking than he'll ever be" Shisui jested and his heart jumped out of his chest when he heard her beautiful laughter from behind her hands that continued to cover half of her flushed face.
"Oh Shisui-san you have such a great sense of humor! I won't speak a word to his Lordship of your blasphemous accusations" Sakura went with it and jested with the man. She motioned for him to take a seat as she pulled herself a chair.
"So do you m'lady, I have heard earlier that you've met one of my brothers in the Garden of Love. I bet he wasn't half as charming as I am" Shisui interjected as he pulled a Sakura blossom from apparently, thin air, and placed it on the girl's ear. Sakura squeaked in astonishment and took the flower and inspected it.
"I did, I had not learned his name 'til tonight but between you and me, he is an insufferable jerk and you are certainly much more charming" Sakura answered and gave the man a gracious smile. He looked towards both his brothers' directions and a lopsided smirk grazed his lips.
"I guess considering my brothers both have a stick up their asses, I shouldn't be this flattered but considering the fact that it was you who gave the compliment, I am very very flattered, your highness" Shisui smiled as he watched the sparkle in the Goddess of Love's emerald eyes. They talked about a lot of things, who they were born to, how they are, their homes, their powers, and their interests, and saw that they did have a boatload of things in common.
"Have anyone ever told you, that you're incredibly enchanting, Sakura-chan? If I may call you that" Shisui asked the beautiful maiden he had the pleasure of knowing. She giggled and rolled her eyes at his flat out flattery.
"We're Deities Shisui-san, we're all enchanting" Her emerald eyes glued to his ruby ones as she slowly drawled out the words.
They talked their minutes away and grew fond of each other every word uttered. Sakura genuinely enjoyed his company and she did find hime incredibly attractive to add to her liking of him. Unbeknownst to both of them, a pair of ruby orbs watched them burning with jealousy.
