"You're sure this will work?"
"Of course. The earth is in danger, they can't sit and let it die."
"Yes, because that's what I'm worried about."
"Hush, Sasuke. I have this planned out."
"Did you get to the part of the plan where I'm hung for rushing into a world meeting?"
"Hush boy."
The bickering pair sat outside of the sight of the guards posted at the gates. The summit was no walk in the park. Heavily armed soldiers were at every door and window. How were they to just waltz in? His uncle had shared his concerns.
"You are a damned fool!" Madara barked, glaring at Sakura.
"And you're annoying." She sneered back. She was as wiled as the night she had the nightmare, hair on fire and viridian irises coated with night.
"You're gonna get my nephew killed!"
"How could he possibly die if he is at my side?"
"Well," Kakashi interjected, flipping a page in his book. "You can't just walk in and say, 'Yo, I'm a Goddess, here's my human lover and the earth is in peril.' Surely you both will be hung."
"Hanging has been outlawed in most countries. At best he'll get lethal injection."
"I am against the idea of dying wholeheartedly." Sasuke panicked.
"Silence, dear, we are discussing God things." The angry woman dismissed him with a wave of her hand.
"But you involved him!" His uncle gestured wildly.
"I certainly cannot go myself. And I rather not take either one of you."
"Good, I do not want to go." His coach sat next to Ezraeil on the couch. They had moved into Madara's living room. The two livid Gods could not argue like this in public.
"Look, Uncle, Poseidon, whomever you are-."
"I am still your uncle, boy. Mind yourself."
"My uncle does not keep secrets from his family."
"Oooo." Zeus snickered. "Seidon is in trouble."
"You hush, thunder head. I have words for you to." Sasuke growled. He was surprised by his sudden anger. The initial shock must've been warring off.
Kakashi put his hands up but resumed his reading.
"Sasuke. Are you willing to save your home?"
"Duh."
"Answer me boy."
"Yes, Sakura..."
"See, he is going."
"Fine." Madara threw his hands up. "We shall be here."
Sakura smiled in victory. She knelt to coo words to her son before grasping Sasuke's upper arm harshly and turning from the others.
"How is your English my love?" He wasn't just fluent in English, his mother wouldn't have that. He knew Russian, German, a few dialects of Chinese, and even some Spanish. And supposedly the Goddess knew more than just five dialects.
"Rusty."
"Good. We'll put it to use. When I get back, it'll be with a worlds army."
"Let's go, human." Ereshkigal stood, reaching for his hand.
"Yes, dear." He had a sinking feeling about this plan all the sudden.
"The next topic on our agenda is the nuclear weapons supposedly-"
Fire danced in the middle of the grand meeting room. All of the world's officials yelled out, frantically searching for something or one to extinguish the flames. To their astonishment the blaze defused to reveal a tall man and his female companion.
"Alright. Who hired a magician?" One of America's reps sighed as he looked at security.
"No one would do such a thing..." Australia's representative rolled their green eyes.
What a strange magician to hire. His assistant looked like a doll with that ridiculous pink hair. And he was surely pale enough to play a vampire in a b rate movie.
"Security, please remove the two." Russia roared.
"Touch him or I, you lose your chance at life." The pink haired one spoke just above a whisper.
"You are threatening world leaders?" Austria laughed. "To whom am I addressing?"
"Ereshkigal of the Underworld and her faithful human Uchiha Sasuke of Kohona."
Well, now the world knew his name. He was very fluent in English, also, you don't have to speak the tongue to know you're own name. He would most likely be known as a criminal on all continents for the rest of his life if this did not work out. He just hoped his social anxiety did not best him.
"This is ridiculous," America gave an exasperated sigh. "Get rid of them."
"Your world. My world," Sasuke started, swallowing thickly. Hopefully it'd come out better than how it was sounding in his racing mind "Is in danger."
"What sort of danger?" Canada murmured.
"Something much worse than a nuke."
"And you know this how?"
"Before you stands the oldest God to ever live. Ereshkigal of Mesopotamia."
Laughter broke through the hall. Who was this child and his flamed girlfriend.
All humor drained from their faces once his love grew in size. She had to be about seven Sasuke's at this new height. Cool flares threatened them as she lifted her fingers towards one of the representatives.
"Laugh again. I assure you your death shall be painfully slow."
Screams if terror rose.
"Calm down there, inferno. I can handle this." Sasuke chided coolly.
Sakura glared before reverting to her human form.
"Now I'm sure you are aware that we are not alone on this earth."
"What is she?" One demanded, standing from his chair to point accusingly at the, now, annoyed female.
"I already told you. And she is here to warn you of one of her own has started acting out."
"How can we trust you?" One sobbed.
"I bring you no harm. And I guess I apologize for the threat."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "See?"
"I do not see! How can something like that exist?" America shouted.
Ereshkigal's pink brows furrowed. "We just do. Who else could create such annoying beings such as yourself?"
America's front man snarled. "You. You are a demon. We cannot trust her."
"Fine." Sakura shrugged disinterestedly. "It is not my home that is in danger. I could care less if he ruins your pitiful lives. It shalt effect me if he rips you limb from limb and ingests your entrails."
"What are you saying?"
"Is my English off? You will die with the rest of these ignorant fools if you do not lend me your armies. The God we are facing has done this once before. You refer to it as World War Two. How many casualties did you face? And deaths? How many funerals did you have to attend? I could tell you. I counted each soul as they walked into my underworld."
Shock, horror, and fear shot through the room as Zeus's lightning would the sky.
"If you do not help me against him, you could face that again. I am only here to offer my services on behalf of my Bothers and Sisters."
The hall quelled.
"You are from the Kohona, correct?" A Japanese spokesman questioned.
"Yes." Sasuke replied, happy to be speaking in his own, perfected Japanese.
"Okay. I trust you. Woman, tell us whom we are up against."
"Seventy years ago, a threat from Europe threated your world did he not?"
They nodded.
"He was not unaided. Ranginui, the Maori God of the Stars was helping him."
"Ranginui, stop this!"
"If I can't have you, no one shall. Not these Gods, not these humans, not these heavens. I shall destroy them all!"
"He is bent on ruining my life at any means, whether it directly afflicts me or not. He is mad."
"So I was right in not trusting you!" America acting like a caged feral animal.
"Must I remind he will eat you alive?"
"Carry on."
"It took the worlds cooperation to take him down. While the humans fought those under his influence, we Gods apprehended him. As punishment, his body was stripped of his head and appendages. They were then scattered amongst the Gods. We each had a piece to watch over."
"How was he reassembled?"
"His son, the Maori God of Mischief. He has collected his head, which I had held, torso and one arm. He is not at his strongest. Working now would be the best course of action."
"We shall lend any aide we can." Australia smiled gaining the others votes.
"Thank you." Sasuke sighed. He wasn't going to die today. Not as a public spectacle anyway.
This chapter was hard as crap to write out. I haven't been able to do it properly and every time I rewrite it, it comes out shittier. So don't hate me for making you wait this long for a crappy chapter.
Yamora:
I did not forget about you! Thank you, you have been there at the start of this story and I'm glad you're gonna stick around for the end! I write this for you and Fangirled-already. Ya'lls give me life.
