Oh, and
Flashbacks
Present day.
"Eima! Eima! Come quick! I think he's hurt!" The small violet eyed boy cried, running with a small creature cupped in his arms.
"Ezraeil? Dear, come here, what are you speaking about, darling?" The pink-headed mother of three was hanging linens on the side of the cottage. Kneeling beside her youngest, she smoothed his shoulder length black hair and looked at the cat in his cream arms.
"He's- he's hurt mother. I- I was walking in- in the w-woods and- and. I don't what to do, Eima."
"Calm. Shh, my child. Allow me to have him." As she held the cat, she could see the wound inflicted by a larger animal. It was clearly infected. "Does the little one have a name?"
"Mana. I named him Mana." He sniffled and wiped away tears. The boy was completely distraught, having been looking for his pet for two hours previous.
"Well, hello Mana. Do not worry, I will do my best to revive you." Her slender hands lit into a calming green glow, stopping the cries of both her son and the tiny kitten. "Shh, it is okay Mana. You shall live, my friend." Slowly the wound closed, Mana squirming to life again. The boy smile, taking the cat in a warm embrace.
"Thank you, Eima."
"Do you know what attacked Mana, dear?" The cat purred loud enough for her to hear, even cuddled in the boy's arms.
"No. A dog maybe?"
"Keep better watch of him then. And never venture out alone in the wood."
"Yes, Mama. I wont!"
Ereshkigal kissed his forehead, watching him run off. She stood again, calmed and in awe. Such a kind soul, her youngest. He was always so soft spoken and kind to all, she could hardly believe he was the son of Satan.
"Mi̱téra." Her eldest stood by the dark wool duvet, flames tied low in a flowing ponytail, black eyes tired from his nap earlier. He held the appearance of a teenager, still only just growing to young adult.
"Care to help me line the clothing?"
Nodding with a yawn, he picked up a sheet and a few clips. He rubbed and eye, yawning again as he hung up the white clothe.
"Sleeping all day should not be habit." She chuckled as he yawned again.
"I did not sleep well last night."
"Oh, my love," she ran a hand over his flames, musing his hair causing the tie to slip.
"Stop it." She laughed at his discomfort, reaching to hang a few tunics. "Mi̱téra, do you need help with supper?"
"No my son. I have that under control. Go and watch your brothers, Ezraeil is in the front of the house, Anaru should be inside."
"I just came from there, he is not."
Ereshkigal pondered a moment, he should be in the house, she had left him there with Zeus.
"Is Zeus in there?"
"Yes, he has fallen asleep."
Typical, he rarely was much use around the house. She should've summoned Poseidon; he was much better with children anyhow.
"Check the-"
"Ha-ha! I got you!" White covered the young mothers eyes, causing a chuckle to leave her lips.
"There you are."
"How'd you know? Come on, Mama!" He pulled the sheet off and smiled up at her, red eyes shining in humor.
"You charmed Zeus."
"How- aw Mama, come on, how can I pull tricks if you see through them?"
"That's what makes me such a great mother." She scooped up the boy of eleven, kissing his face, tickling him. She loved the laugh he gave. Her middle child, so full of love and life. Her boys were her entire existence.
"Go wake Zeus. Dinner shall be done very soon. Both of you get Ezraeil and wash up. Go."
Alic put Anaru on his shoulders and walked off to get the youngest. She smiled, finishing her towel hanging, taking the basket back inside.
"Mi̱téra! Mi̱téra! Come quick!" Alic never once raised his voice, not even as an infant. This threw her heart into her throat, dashing to her door, Zeus being awoken as well.
When she got outside, a very angry looking Uranus stood by the boys who coward in his wake. Green eyes bled to black, hair catching lite. Her lithe form doubled in size.
"Boys, Epistrofí̱ makriá. Haere hoki. Atheq!"
Uranus growled at the three, who ran behind Zeus. He looked at his ex lover then to the boy.
"What is that?" His mighty roar shook the birds from the trees, the Greek he spoke very old and unused by most Gods.
"Touch him, you'll loose your life." Her voice stayed calm albeit all the threat one could ever need.
"WHAT IS THAT, ERESHKIGAL?!" The rage didn't scare her one bit, in fact, she stepped closer.
"Ereshkigal, you cannot-"
"SILENCE! Go, Uranus. Before I make you."
His laughter boomed, scaring her boys further. That was the final act. The angry Goddess rushed him, taking him down too quickly for even Zeus to witness.
Gold liquid seeped from Uranus' throat, a talon embedded in his esophagus.
In an instant, Uranus lost his head.
"Call for a meeting, Zeus." Turning to face her most trusted confidant, Zeus noticed the holy blood on her cheek, dripping down her right arm. "We lost a God."
"You are a disgrace, unfit to have these children let alone raise them! I shall take this poor boys into-"
Throwing the head on the table, Ereshkigal growled, "Just try. You see what happed to your beloved God." Uranus' eyes were dull, the angry Goddess refused to give him that much respect. "Touch one of my younglings, and I'll do this to you."
"Let her keep them." Shiva murmured, not having liked the power crazed God in the beginning. "But. I think sending them to her domain would be a good thing. Jail her there, but do not pry the children from her. The only one able to take those children from her would be Zeus, but Zeus is not on our side."
"Damn right. And I agree. Ereshkigal, the living world is too hard to keep tabs on the Gods out to harm these three," Zeus sighed, looking towards his father's lifeless head. "Poseidon and I shall keep guard of her. You said it yourself, I am the most powerful here."
"I agree," Poseidon ran a hand through his thick locks. "I shall watch over the four."
"Are we really going to ignore the fact that she killed a fellow God?" Satan sat in his chair he insisted came with him. An obnoxious red colored skull chair. He was a handsome being, Short black hair, and black eyes and tanned skin. He was tall, broad and any one's cup of tea, especially Minerva's.
"No, she will be banished to the nether." Saa spoke, scratching at his chin.
"Ah yes, send her there with the children, what a grand idea. So that way, she can turn her hellions into her. But in smallish form."
"Are you challenging me, Fallen of God?"
"Never, babe. Just. Where do you get off with killing a God?"
"He threatened my eldest."
"Ah, so, it doesn't matter he threatened your other two?"
Ereshkigal was in the man's face in a nanosecond.
"Don't inquire on my priorities. All my children are precious to me, ever think less, and you'll end up like that dead deity there." Her voice was low, too low to be heard by the rest. Satan backed down.
"Anyone else that dare touch any of my kids will have their head placed on their own personalized stake. We will be leaving now. Boys!"
The rest of the deities that remained in the room stayed speechless. No one felt safe after that. But Satan felt the most threat.
"Keep her in that dreaded world for the rest of her life. If I find she has gotten loose..." Satan stood, heading for the exit. "... I'll kill her."
Poseidon laughed at the new naïve God. "May luck be with you. I wont even stop her from taking your pathetic life."
"Mama, Ezraeil wont speak."
Her life was falling to pieces, just like her people. Her eyes glazed over, wine glass in hand. She looked over the world she never thought she'd bring her boys to.
"Mama? Do you hear me?"
Looking to her oldest, she requested, "Take your brothers, help your youngest find his voice, and help your second calm."
"Mama! Do you not hear me? Ezraeil wont speak to me!" Looking down, all emotion devoid from her sullen features.
"I'm so sorry my son." Tears slipped from her black eyes. "I am so sorry."
Dropping to her knees, away from her sons, she sobbed.
"What are you sorry for? Make Ezraeil speak again! Mama! Please!"
"I'm so sorry."
"You're no mother! You don't even care about Ezraeil! You're a fraud!" Before Alic could pick him up, Anaru ran from the room, leaving behind his grieving mother and two brothers. Ezraeil squirmed from his brother's grasp, running to his mother's side. He wiggled into her lap and clung to her. Alic wrapped the two in his larger arms.
"I'm so sorry." She repeated over and over
Her sons understood, they did. And they held her as she wept, admit on letting her know.
Sakura screamed, being thrown so merciless from her dreaming state. She remembered that day; her subconscious never let her forget it. Black eye's stared into the dark room, willing whatever night terror to show itself. But it never came, only the warm embrace of thick pale arms and the feeling of security. His lips grazed at her shoulder, his words hitting deaf ears. She was so far away, not even her Prince could save her.
Has anyone watched Suits on USA? It's probably my favorite show and I finally caught up. I'd actually would recommend it if you have the spare time. Anyways. Back to this. I had a friend go over the story and he asked me a very solid question, "Why does Anaru hate Sakura?" Well I'm hoping I answered that. And about the last paragraph? You'll have to wait till late Monday/early Tuesday, my weekend is booked.
Language key;

Answers to some questions and thank yous;
Yamora Love n Friendship;
I know, did you happen to see the original sketch? Also he mentioned some of the background characters have his features as well. Guy is offensive and Kakashi is defensive. And in all honesty, I really like watching the show, usually for the openings and endings, looking up the lyrics really get to me cuz they fit so damn well.
To that sweet guest;
You'll like why the God's have so many connections to my boys (Well Kishi's but I want them as mine.)
I like that idea, but the way I'm laying it out, it may not work like that. But we'll see
And that's so frustrating! I just wanna get to the boss change in the series, see how they did with that. Also, I freaking enjoy watching Sasuke. Fangirl for life!
As stated I'm booked, but if you guys have any story recommendations, it could be a book, story on ff or just an article you read, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking but only seem to reread. Anyway, go watch Suits, and this chapter came out way too damn long
