"Her old home? What is she going to do over there?" Hades asked.

"It's just a visit, as usual." Zeus answered.

"But this must be the first time Fairy has gone to visit her former home since she started living with us, what if she's homesick and wants to go back?" Apollon asked, almost in panic.

Zeus closed his eyes. "Like I said, it's just a visit and-" When he opened his eyes again, the 5 gods were already gone. Zeus just sighed, "Oh well… Maybe now I can get some peace and quiet."

Now:

"Well, here it is." Yui said as she looked up at the stairs which led to the shrine she used to lived in together with her parents and two older brothers. The two ravens on her shoulders croaked before they flew to a nearby tree and landed on the lowest branch. "It does feel a little strange to stand here, knowing that I have a home and a family here but that no one knows who I am anymore."

It was quiet for a moment before Yui turned around and started walking back the way she came from. Hugin and Munin looked at each other before they flew after her and landed on her shoulders once again. "Yui is sad." Munin croaked.

"It's alright…" Yui replied, trying to sound cheerful.

"Yui is lying. Yui is sad." Hugin croaked.

Yui let out a small sigh. "Perhaps I'm a little sad. But who wouldn't be? I gave up everything… my family, my friends, my life on earth, of course I feel down about it."

The two ravens didn't utter a word.

Yui's lips formed a smile. "But I still don't regret anything." She said with confidence. "Sometimes you have to make tough decisions and you're going to feel bad about it for awhile, but in time, you will realise you made the right choice. And when you do that, that's when you start living again."

Hugin and Munin looked at her as if they listened closely.

"I will always miss them but I'm glad I can at least watch over them, even if it's from a distance."

Once the small group was out of sight from the humans' wandering eyes Yui took a few steps away from the road. "Let's leave this place for now, there's one place I want to visit before going back." She knew that the necklace was only able to take her home, so she had to step through the portal in her bedroom again if she wanted to go to another place. She then grabbed the necklace and disappeared from the spot she stood on the moment she did. But she didn't know that 5 gods just appeared somewhere in the same area not far from where she just disappeared from, missing her by just a few seconds. The gods were in their human forms and they were looking quite worried. "Fairy!" Apollon called the moment they appeared on the ground.

"Quiet, Apollon!" Takeru hissed. "If the humans hear you they're going to think you're crazy. Most humans don't exactly believe in fairies, you know!"

"But I like calling her "Fairy"." Apollon pouted.

"Just don't shout her nickname like that." Hades told his nephew.

"Shouldn't we start looking for her now?" Dionysus asked.

"Right! Let's go to Fairy's home!" Apollon exclaimed and started running.

"Hey! What did I just say!" Takeru shouted after him.

"Apollon Agana Belea must be really worried about Kusanagi Yui." Tsukito stated.

"Let's follow him, who knows what sort of troubles he could get himself into if he's left alone for too long…" Dionysus sighed.


"Aahh… This feels great." Yui sighed in satisfaction. She had just used the portal to teleport herself and the two ravens to a hot spring and was currently relaxing in the water. Hugin and Munin were sitting in a tree just beside the spring, keeping watch. "Oh, I forgot to bring a towel." Yui realised. "Could one of you please bring me one?"

Hugin immediately flew out of the tree and disappeared, leaving Munin alone on the branch to watch over Yui.

"Want to talk a little until he's back?" Yui asked after a moment of silence. She knew the ravens only talked when they felt like it but it was worth a shot.

Munin flew down from the branch and landed on the rock Yui was resting her arm on. He didn't say anything but he was looking at her with interest. Yui smiled at him and thought that even if Munin didn't want to talk, it was still nice to have him there to listen to whatever she wanted to say. "Can I ask you something?" She began.

Munin croaked in reply.

"I'm not a burden for you and Hugin, am I? I mean, you two always keep an eye on me and I don't want to get in the way of your other duties."

Munin jumped up on her shoulder and rubbed his head against her hair tenderly. "I take that as a "No"." Yui giggled.

Moments later, Hugin returned with a towel and dropped it on the ground beside the spring before taking his place on Yui's other shoulder. He too seemed like he wanted to cuddle a little. "That was fast, thank you Hugin." Yui smiled and patted his head gently.


"It appears she isn't here anymore." Hades said. He and the younger gods were standing at the bottom of the stairs to Yui's former home but there was no sign of their human friend anywhere.

"Then, where could she be?" Dionysus asked.

"Beats me… Weed could be anywhere." Takeru commented.

"Totsuka Takeru, perhaps Kusanagi Yui left because you keep calling her that." Tsukito pointed out.

Takeru looked at his brother questioningly. "Huh?"

Apollon's face brightened "Ah! So it's Take-Take's fault!" He proclaimed proudly. "In that case, this problem is going to be easy to fix. Take-Take, apologize!"

Hades and Dionysus sweat dropped.

"What? !" Takeru shouted at Apollon in confusion.

"It can't be helped." Tsukito said, agreeing with Apollon.

"If Fairy is gone because of Take-Take, then all he needs to do is apologize to her." Apollon stated cheerfully.

"Are you saying Weed wants to leave because of me, you idiot? !" Takeru shouted.

"There he goes again. Using that nickname." Tsukito commented.

"Indeed." Apollon agreed.

"Shut up!" Takeru's eyes were burning now.

"That's enough you three..." Hades ordered calmly.

"Kusanagi-san obviously just came here for a quick visit and has probably returned home to Asgard already." Dionysus added.

"Well in that case, let's surprise her!" Apollon cried out happily and took off into the direction they came from.

"Hey! You owe me an apology, you bastard!" Takeru shouted after him.

Back in Asgard, Balder and Thor were having tea together in Balder's cottage. "It finally stopped snowing." Balder pointed out in relief. "Now Yui-san won't have any problem moving around."

"Yeah." Thor agreed and took a sip of the warm tea.

"By the way, Thor, did you hear about the news?"

"I did."

"Sounds pretty exciting, right?"

"Yeah."

"Odin said that he's going to meet with Zeus later today and come up with a plan. He wants us to inform Yui-san about the meeting and invite her to it."

"I see."

Balder stood up from his seat with his now empty cup and began to walk towards the kitchen to get more tea when suddenly Apollon, Hades, Dionysus, Takeru and Tsukito appeared right in front of him. The sudden appearance of his friends startled him and he lost his balance and fell to the floor. "Apollon, this is the wrong cottage." Hades pointed out. "And you are supposed to knock before entering someone's home." Dionysus added. "What if Kusanagi Yui was in the middle of changing clothes?" Tsukito asked and Takeru's face turned red at his brother's comment.

"Umm… everyone?" Balder said in surprise from the floor.

"Haha! Bal-Bal, hello! And Thor-Thor too!" Apollon greeted.

"Hello." Thor replied.

"What are you all doing here?" Balder asked as Hades helped him up from the floor. "And why are you in your human forms?"

"We came to visit Kusanagi." Hades answered. "We looked for her by her old home but she wasn't there, so we came here. But it seems Apollon teleported us to the wrong place."

"I see." Balder smiled, understanding. "Well, I don't know if Yui-san is back yet but-"

"There's no time to lose!" Apollon interrupted him. "To Fairy's cottage everyone!"

Apollon ran out the door, forgetting it was pretty slippery outside. He slipped on the snow and ice covered ground and slid down the road at a very high speed. "Apollon!" Hades and Takeru shouted after him. Dionysus just sighed, "Not again…"

"Agana Belea is sliding into the direction of Yui-san's cottage." Balder commented as Apollon continued to slide through the snow and was slowly getting out of sight.

"I guess we just have to follow him. See you guys later!" Takeru said and started running after the god of the sun, careful not to slip and fall as well. Tsukito and Dionysus followed suit.

"Take care." Hades told the two Norse gods before he followed the others.

"You too." Balder replied and took a few steps outside the cottage. "And be careful not to fa- Aahh!" Balder exclaimed as he fell and landed on his butt.

Apollon had Yui's cottage in sight as he continued to slide down the road. "There it is everyone! There it is!" He laughed. He was getting closer and closer to the cottage and showed no signs of slowing down. The others who were trying to keep up with him started to panic, at this rate, Apollon would crash into Yui's home! "Stop him!" Dionysus called. "It's too late, he's going to-!" Takeru shouted.

Apollon was now dangerously close to the cottage. "We're coming, Fairyyyyyyyyy!"

Crash!

He flew right through the door, leaving a big hole in it, and crash landed on the floor inside.

The remaining 4 gods stopped dead in their tracks and their mouths hung open at the sight. If it hadn't been Yui's home Apollon just crashed into, then they would have laughed at the funny scene that just took place in front of them. "Apollon, you idiot!" Takeru screamed. "You broke it!" Dionysus added. How were they going to explain this to Yui?

Apollon acted like he didn't hear them and peeked through the big hole in the door. "It's really nice and warm inside!" He called cheerfully.

"Apollon…" Hades sighed.

"Kusanagi Yui's door is broken." Tsukito stated.

"Yes brother, we can see that…" Takeru said and rubbed his hair as he inspected the door.

"That was really fun!" Apollon laughed.

"Fun? ! You just crashed through the freaking door!" Takeru shouted. "What is Weed going to say about this?"

Apollon opened the door from inside and looked at it. "It's not that bad, I'm sure we can fix it."

The moment he said that, the door fell and landed flat on the ground.

"Apollooooon…" Takeru hissed through his teeth.

"Put the door back for now, we just have to explain it to Kusanagi and get a new door for her." Hades said with his arms crossed.

"Right." Dionysus agreed. "By the way, it seems Kusanagi-san isn't here either."

"Just where the hell is she?" Takeru asked.

"Let's check the human world again, she must be there somewhere!" Apollon said and teleported himself away without another word. "Has he any idea how big the human world really is?" Dionysus asked before he and the others followed Apollon back to earth.

But right after they had vanished, Yui appeared from the portal inside her bedroom. "That was really relaxing." She sighed with a smile as she walked over to the bed and sat down on it. Hugin and Munin jumped down from her shoulders and landed on the bed as well. "Well, I guess I need to get ready. Loki-san said I could come over once I got back."

The two ravens didn't miss Yui's slightly red cheeks when she mentioned Loki.

"But maybe I should take a nap first? I feel a little tired."

The two ravens croaked in reply.

"I think I'll do that." She said and laid down on the bed. "Just for a few hours." Hugin and Munin cuddled up next to her, apparently they were in no hurry to get back to Odin.


Yui woke up a few hours later. She rubbed her eyes and looked to the side, the ravens were still there beside her. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the wardrobe and took out her white dress. "Hugin, Munin, are you guys awake?" She whispered. The two birds immediately stood up without a warning, spread their wings and flew from the bed and landed on top of the wardrobe.

"I'm starting to feel a little nervous. This is the first time I'm going to have dinner alone with him. It almost feels like… a date."

Her cheeks turned red and the birds croaked loudly in reply. "I know, I shouldn't worry. It's going to be fine and I actually look forward to it." She hurried and changed into the dress and took off the necklace and placed it on the bed. "I think I'll have my hair in a low ponytail this time." She said to herself and grabbed her hand mirror to inspect herself. After a moment, she realised it was getting very cold for some reason. 'That's strange, it's never been this cold before.' She thought and stepped out from the bedroom, the ravens were close behind. And as soon as she stepped into the living room she could clearly see why it had gotten so cold. With a surprised and confused look on her face, her eyes got stuck to the door. There was a big hole in it! "W-Wha-?" She stuttered.

Hugin and Munin flew over to it and flew through the big hole and landed outside. Yui followed them and opened the door. The first thing she saw was a very long trail of flattened snow which led to her cottage. It looked just like someone had been sliding down the road and then crashed into the door. The pictures in her head made her giggle and the ravens looked at her in confusion. Someone had just destroyed her door and she was laughing?

Once Yui had calmed herself down she started thinking about who it could have been. But more importantly, she definitely needed a new door. "I'm going to go over to Loki-san's place now and ask if he can help me. Thank you both so much for joining me today." She told the big birds with a sweet smile.

Hugin and Munin croaked before they took off to the sky and disappeared, they were probably going back to their master now.

Yui immediately started walking towards Loki's cottage, silently thanking it wasn't very far away. The snow was pretty deep but she still managed to get there in less than 5 minutes. Once she stood in front of the cottage, she knocked on the door and waited for Loki to open it.

The door flew open, startling Yui a little, and revealed a smirking Loki inside. "Why hello there, Kitten. Back from your little trip I see."

"Yeah, I am." Yui answered with a small smile. "But I could really use your help, Loki-san."

"Oh?"

"You see… It seems someone crashed into my door while I was away." Yui tried to explain.

"... Someone did… what?" Loki asked as he tried not to laugh.

Yui couldn't help but smile as well. "It looks like someone slid down the road and crash landed. There's a big hole in the door and it's starting to get really cold inside."

"Let's go there so I can take a look!" Loki exclaimed in excitement. He picked Yui up and started flying towards her home. "L-Loki-san?" Yui stuttered, she definitely wasn't used to Loki just picking her up like that.

They landed just outside the cottage and Loki immediately started laughing at the sight. That hole sure was big. "Just what the hell happened here? !" He laughed. He was actually laughing so hard he had to hold his stomach. "Aww man! I wish I was here when it happened."

"Do you know where I can get a new door?" Yui asked.

"Yeah." Loki answered once he had calmed himself. "There is someone who can make a new door for you but he won't be making anything until tomorrow. He's going on a meeting with Odin and Zeus today to discuss something."

"I see, I guess I will have to endure the cold until tomorrow then." Yui told herself.

"Haha, not a chance, sweetie. There's no way I'm going to let you go to sleep cold tonight, you're staying with me." Loki stated.

"S-Staying with you?" Yui asked in surprise.

"It's just one night, right? So it should be fine."

Yui couldn't believe her ears. "Th-That's really sweet of you Loki-san, but-"

"Great! Let's go get your stuff!" Loki exclaimed in excitement and ran to enter her house.

"Wait!" Yui called and ran after him. "I haven't agreed yet!"

She barely made it inside before Loki came out again with a nightgown and a toothbrush. "That's all you need, let's go!" He laughed as he walked past her.

"But Loki-san!" Yui called after him.

"Don't worry about it, Kitten! I'll sleep on the couch and you can have the bed."

"What? ! No, no, no, I can't do that!"

"You're my guest, so you can take the bed."

"I don't want to intrude like that! I'll take the couch."

"No way!"

"But-"

"You're taking the bed and that's it!"

"Loki-san!"

And so, they argued like that the whole way back to Loki's house. And Yui never realised she had somehow, in a way, agreed to stay with him. Loki opened the door to his cottage and the two went inside. As soon as Yui started to look around she noticed the dining table in the middle of the room, it was decorated nicely and had two candles in the middle. "Hope you're hungry, we're having steak tonight." Loki informed with confidence.

"Sounds good." Yui smiled.

"By the way." Loki turned around to face her. "Zeus and Odin asked us to invite you to that meeting later."

"Really?"

"Yeah, they believe you're going to be useful in their new plan."

"Wow, now I'm curious."

"I'll take you there later but let's eat first." Loki smirked and turned around to walk into the kitchen. "Take a seat, Kitten!"

"Oh, are you sure you don't want my help?" Yui called after him.

"I've got this, sweetheart, just feel like home."

"Alright then." Yui walked over to the couch and sat down on it. On the table in front of it she noticed a book. 'I didn't know Loki-san liked to read?' She thought as she picked it up and read the title. She started giggling. '1000 pranks to pull. Of course it was a book about pranks.' She opened the book and started reading it, thinking it was a good way to pass time on. Also, maybe she could predict some of Loki's future pranks if she read it.

Yui was so focused on the book she didn't notice Loki stepping out of the kitchen and placed the food on the table. He then threw a look at her and started smirking, he knew exactly why she was reading that book. He slowly moved to the side and walked around the couch so that he was behind her.

'Some of these pranks are kind of dangerous, I hope he isn't planning on doing all of them!' Yui thought. She was just about to turn the page when someone grabbed her shoulders, scaring the shit out of her, and she let out a scream as she jumped high in the air. In just a second, she was standing on the other side of the table in front of the couch, ready to hit the one who had startled her with the book in her hand.

"Dinner's ready, Kitten!" Loki laughed from the other side of the couch.

"Loki-san! You-You-!"

"Haha calm down, it's just me."

"Oh my god…" Yui sighed in relief as her body slowly sank to the floor. "You scared the life out of me."

Loki let out another laugh and walked over to her and offered his hand to her. "You're really fun to tease, Kitten."

Yui's cheeks turned red but she took his hand anyway. "S-Shut up…" She whispered in embarrassment as he helped her up from the floor.


"Mmm… This is really tasty, Loki-san!"

"I'm really good at cooking you know." Loki answered proudly and took another bite.

"I could eat food like this every day." Yui smiled widely.

"I wouldn't mind." Loki answered with a smirk.

His answer surprised Yui but she just laughed it off, thinking that he must be joking. You could never truly know what was going on in that god's head.

Then, without warning, the door suddenly flew open and revealed 5 familiar faces. "Loki-Loki!" Apollon shouted with worry. "We can't find Fairy anywhere, have you seen-! ?"

"..."

Loki and Yui just stared at their friends who had just burst through the door.

"Oh, there she is." Dionysus said.

"Fairy! I'm so glad you alright!" Apollon exclaimed.

"We've been looking everywhere for you!" Takeru shouted. "Where have you been?"

"I feel relieved." Hades pointed out.

"It seems we didn't need to worry after all." Tsukito said in his usual relaxed voice.

Yui and Loki were still too surprised to say anything.

Once the 5 friends in the doorway had taken a few deep breaths they began to realise what was going on in front of them. "Umm… I believe we came at a bad time." Dionysus stated and rubbed his head, slightly embarrassed about the situation.
