1.) To celebrate me just noticing that TWOSK has 50+ favorites, I've decided to combine both Sides of the story. By the way, this will probably be the last KeimAkihisA chapter, seeing that this is the last planned Akihisa's Side chapter. Yes, say goodbye to Akihisa's antics!

2.) This chapter may be a little info dump-y, so persevere. Please do, since I'm sure that the Akihisa one will either have you laughing or blushing (I'm in the latter, and I'm the freaking author!).

3.) Oh yeah, I hope the new cover isn't too crappy. Art isn't my cup of tea, as you can see.

Disclaimer is still in effect

Enjoy!


Chapter Thirty-Four: Final Flag - Me, Akihisa, and More Hijinks


"Ladies, the Fumizuki Goddesses are now among us," said Keima, looking at the sleeping Shouko on the nearby couch. After giving Diana a piggyback ride to the his house, Keima had plopped her onto the couch, the Goddess Reverting to her sleepy Host. Apparently, Shouko had been pondering the memories and feelings that just popped up out of nowhere for quite a while, so the nap she was taking was her first in three days. "Shouko here is the first Host, and is Hosting the Goddess Diana."

"Before we talk about Shouko," interjected Elsie (surprise!), looking at the girl prostrating in front of the Capturing God, "when will you stop rubbing your foot on Haqua's head, Kami Nii-sama?"

"Till I'm satisfied, or till my sweaty foot is dry," replied the boy, incessantly rubbing his foot into Haqua's hair. "Whichever one comes first."

"You better enjoy this, Keima, 'cause I'll never prostrate myself for you ever again!" cried the flushed Haqua, her forehead still on the ground, protected by her hands. Keima rolled his eyes at the public display of Tsundere-ism, as the other two Hosts did their own thing. Kanon was preparing the dinner, while Shiori was reading a manga that has idiots, tests, and summoned beings. Yes, she was reading Fairy Tail. That's when Shouko stirred from her slumber.

"...Akihisa," mumbled Shouko, getting up. All heads in the household turned towards her. "Diana - my 'other self' - wants to speak to you. I want to speak to you too, but Diana's topic seems to be more... urgent than mine."

"Thanks, Shouko," said Keima, who was still grinding his foot on Haqua, much to her distress... After Keima's acknowledgement, she Switched with Diana: her eyes turned red and sharpened, light shined off of her for a moment, and a halo above her head. "So, what do you have to say, Diana?"

"Just wait, I have to sync up with the Diana over 'there'," said Diana, her pupils dilating. Keima tapped his feet out of impatience, as the other girls stared at the Pseudo-Shouko. Once her eyes returned to normal, she raised her hand, and slapped Keima with all her might, sending the poor gamer flying into a nearby wall. Kanon raced over to help him up, as Shiori hid behind a book, Elsie hid behind Shiori, and Haqua glared at the Goddess. She would've glared back, if she wasn't so busy glaring at Keima. With the help of the idol, he got up, fixed his glasses, and leered at Diana.

"What's with Heroines and physical abuse!? This never happens with 2D Heroines!" cursed Keima, shaking his head. Kanon smiled, glad that the blow hadn't shaken him up too much. "Explain yourself, Diana!"

"You have six lovers at home, and you have six more here!? You insatiable dastard!" said Diana, cringing. She brought a hand up to her forehead, obviously in pain. "Now I don't know who to root for: Tenri or Shouko. Why must you make an innocent deity's life difficult!?"

"You're the one who wanted to sync up with the Maijima Diana," retorted Keima, pointing an accusative finger at the Goddess. "Anyway, you had something to tell us, right?"

"Yes. My Sisters are- wait, your leg is cursed," noticed Diana, pointing at the limb in question. Keima cringed, as everyone else were saddened at the reminder. "Hm... it isn't that strong of a curse. Well, for us Goddesses it isn't."

"If you haven't noticed, I'm not a Goddess," said Keima, looking at the leg. It was a weird curse. A stab to the stomach led to pain in the leg? That didn't make much sense. Of course, making sense of nonsense took a backseat to getting a solution to the curse. "Anyway, this is a curse of the Goddess Phoebe. Is a Goddess's curse as weak as you say it is?"

"Apollo's corrupted too!? Grr... Anyway, it's the curse of a Medium. Mediums redirect things: anything that they create themselves is weak. It may not be breakable by a mortal, but just about any Goddess, aside from Apollo, can shatter the curse. Put your leg out, and I'll ease your pain," said Diana. As she walked over to the leg not grinding Haqua's head, Kanon sat in despair.

'So even if I had Apollo by my side, I still wouldn't be able to help my Keima...' internally muttered Kanon, drawing indescribable shapes onto the floor with her finger. As she moped, the only active Goddess in the room reached for Keima's pant leg, and pulled it up. As more and more skin was revealed, the blushes on both Diana and Keima (he doesn't like contact that he didn't initiate) grew, and Haqua's glare grew deeper and deeper till she was fed up by the two. She removed the foot from her head, and stalked off to wherever she liked to brood. Once the pant leg was halfway up Keima's thigh, Diana stopped, causing both of the blushes to fade away. Closing her eyes, the Goddess started chanting.

Keima's eyes widened as a purple miasma started to leak out of his leg. After a few moments of chanting, Diana's eyes suddenly opened, causing the miasma - and the pain - to disappear. She stood up, dusting off her hands. "All done."

"...Thanks," said Keima, not really used to handing out appreciation. Diana gave him a soft smile, till she shook it off, a steely expression replacing it. "Well, what were you going to say earlier?"

"My Sisters have Fallen, as you know. This is because the Weiss latched onto them, awakening their desires, and turning them into malevolent deities," said Diana, pursing her lips out of frustration. Keima could understand that. Her sisters - sisters that she loved - were infected by these ill Spirits for no reason other than to wreak havoc on the world. Who wouldn't be frustrated? "I don't know when they'll strike, but they will eventually."

"Strike?" asked Keima, confused. "Why would they want to strike? They aren't that paranoid, are they?"

"Well, to perform the ritual that can turn this land into a hellscape, all Goddesses must be under control of the Weiss, and both Mercury and I are incorruptible."

"How arrogant."

"This isn't arrogance: it's a fact. I am the first Goddess that you laid your dastardly eyes on, so I've been granted immunity as the Alpha Goddess, and Mercury is immune as the Omega Goddess."

"So we have to talk to Miharu!" interjected Elsie, popping up out of nowhere. Both Keima and Diana fell over. Coughing, the bespectacled boy slowly got up, the Goddess following in his wake. "Right, Kami Nii-sama?"

"...Right, Elsie. We'll talk to her tomorrow."

*Scene Change*

"So this is your brilliant solution?" asked Tsukiyo, holding Akihisa's hand with a light blush on her face. The three were on a bench under a tree on a hill, giving the three a clear view of the moon and its magnificence. Beside the tuxedo-ed Akihisa was Ayumi, who had on the gown from earlier.

"Well, it sort of combines the wedding with the moon viewing," replied Akihisa, shrugging. Both Tsukiyo and Ayumi gave him a look. Akihisa sweatdropped. "Hey, I tried my best!"

Ayumi said, "This amnesiac Keima may be an idiot-" cue face fault "-but he's the lovable kind of idiot. Thanks, Keima." Akihisa smiled. Helping out his friends was what he lived for. Tsukiyo, noticing their closeness, decided to take it up a notch, closing her eyes and leaning into Keima, lips first. Ayumi, alarmed at the moon maniac's bluntness, shut her eyes and closed the distance too. Akihisa, confused, moved out-of-the-way, leaning back so that his cheeks were out of the range of the lips.

Not noticing that Akihisa had moved out of the way - which was very surprising - they continued their path, till lips connected. Three blushes flared into life: Akihisa's caused by the girl-to-girl kissing, and the girls' caused by the lip-to-lip contact. Apparently, they both thought that Keima had turned their way to accept the kiss head on. The two women deepened the kiss, much to Akihisa's embarrassment, and went deeper as they embraced each other, Tsukiyo fondling the frills of the dress- wait... frills of the dress!?

"Gwah!" cried the blonde, tossing her head back, hitting the arm rest of the bench. This caused Ayumi to fall back too, and it didn't take her long to put two and two together, seeing that Tsukiyo's lips were wet, while Keima's were bone dry. "W-Why were you kissing me!?"

"Me kiss you? You were kissing me!" retorted Ayumi, whose whole face was red. Darting her eyes to Akihisa, her hands flew to his collar, choking him. "I was supposed to k-kiss you, not her! What did you do!?"

"Um... wait, is that Yui with a video camera!?" hollered Akihisa, holding out a pointing finger. The two girls' heads swung towards where he pointed, so that they could smash the evidence to pieces. When they noticed that no one was there, they looked back to the bench, where a log sat in the boy's place.

"Keima Katsuragi!"


Footnotes:

Fairy Tail: A popular manga that has idiots (Natsu), tests (all stories have trials, which can be replaced with the word "test"), and summoned beings (The Celestial Beings)

Synced Up: Remember when Yuki Nagato synced up with her future self in the first episode of Melancholy? It's sort of the same thing.

4.) I hope you liked it. Sayonara, Akihisa-san. (Props to you, if you get this reference.) Anyway, if you're confused about the Fallen Goddess stuff, just leave me a review with your questions, and I shall answer them. See you next time (around June 14)!
