Disclaimer: I do not own the Kamisama Hajimemashita/Kiss series or any of the characters who have been featured so far. I only own the right to want to entertain others, no matter how little time I have to do it. Because that's just the kind of heroic, brave, fearless, noble author I am. *Shining eyes*
Chapter 17: Role Switch
A/N: Requested by Prisma Honeydew :)
'Nanami?'
'Yes, Tomoe-sama?'
'I'm bored.'
Nanami swished her fluffy brown tail in thought.
'Want to go visit Himemiko and Kotarou?'
'Why would I want to do that? Humans and demons can't get along. I'll never fall in love with a demon.'
Nanami's ears pricked up. 'They can!' She insisted.
'Can't. You're only here for my Godship, am I right?'
'No way! I don't care that you're my master and I'm your servant! I don't care that you won't accept my feelings! Because one day… I'll make you look at me like I'm a real girl… a human girl, okay?' she smiled and began to walk away, but Tomoe gripped her wrist.
'Stupid! I don't care what you are! Why don't you show me what a real demon's capable of?'
'With pleasure,' Nanami grinned, pressing her lips to his.
Tomoe flushed; he didn't expect her to actually do it. As they pulled apart, he pressed a few fingers to his lips, tracing the grooves that lay pink and plumped due to their recent usage.
'Is my master satisfied? Or does he want me to try again?' Nanami teased. Tomoe coughed and turned away to hide his red face.
'That will be quite enough,' he muttered gruffly.
'Very well. Then if that's all, I'm going to – ah – investigate the Red Light District.'
He grabbed her wrist again. 'Like hell you are!' he snarled.
Nanami tapped her chin with a fan thoughtfully, hiding them somewhat-smirk her face betrayed. She fumbled with the fabrics of her yukata before sitting at his feet.
'It is a powerful thing for a demon to love a human. They do not live even nearly long enough. A demon will never forget that love and will be subjected to the torment of the memory of their lover's death eternally. Some go mad with heartache and lose themselves and their ways.
Demons also have much stronger emotions than humans. What you may call happiness, they call ecstasy. What you call envy is what I like to call murderous-rage-rampage-where-everyone-dies-the-end . See where I'm coming from?'
Tomoe nodded mutely.
'Well,' Nanami said, not quite hiding her smirk, 'why don't you show me what humans are capable of?'
'You are such a totally useless familiar!'
Nanami pouted. 'Fair enough, I can't cook stir fry, but how about I try a–,' Nanami made a dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun! sound, 'pot ramen!' she exclaimed, lifting the tub of dry noodles.
'No,' Tomoe dead-panned, throwing the container at her head.
She dodged it easily and laughed. 'Humans are a total buzz kill. I could call Kurama and ask him to cook?'
'No,' Tomoe said with even more firmness.
'Okay, okay, how about this? My mom taught me how to make them,' she grinned triumphantly, holding up a recipe book open at rice cakes wrapped in bamboo leaves.
Tomoe considered it, a sulking expression on his face before nodding.
'Fine.'
Nanami grinned and began preparing the food. Tomoe watched her suspiciously, never leaving the room.
'So what's this deal with your mom?'
'I don't remember much about her. I believe she was killed by humans in search of demons. Well, they found her, all right. Burnt her at the stake. Mom managed to get me out the house before they could see me, she told me to run, keep running, don't stop until you see the shrine of the Land God. He will take you in.'
'Mikage?'
Nanami nodded. 'So no matter who becomes God… I will stay here. Because my mother wished it to be this way.'
Tomoe sighed and approached her, gently wrapping his arms around her.
'I'm God now. And I won't let anyone hurt you.'
'Thank you.'
A/N: Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I went out with my friends. Yes! Ikr! I actually do have friends! I'm not some lame otaku who spends their time sitting indoors watching anime and fantasising about gorgeous men or women! I do that in my spare time ;) I don't really know what to say about this one .-. I tried to keep their personalities the same, but most of their personality comes with who they are, so I mixed them up a bit, wise-old-Nanami teaches Tomoe O_O Say whaaaaaat? That is a very scary thought. I worry for my, yours and everybody else's safety. Truly, good luck surviving in this realm. *Wise old look*

PARADISE.x: Yeah, that's the word I'm looking for! He's a quirky, badass character! Me too! Him destroying that building made my day x'D I also think that the way he regrets it shows the effect Nanami has on everyone: she can even change the evil demon lord O.O
Mei: Blame me then. Come at me bro. B| Akura-ou's old news, he doesn't know Tomoe's in my basement, please. Great truly is a wonderful word. Thank you for sharing that with me. Oh nu! She(he?)'ll think I'm eternally a pervert! D: I'm so glad my help helped you with its helpfulness. (What help? D:) THE POWER OF WORDS. Oh yeaaaah? Soooooooo O_O May I ask how the hell you came across this picture? / A black dress? Is this a wedding for goths? Love ya too :* xD
Guest: Thanks ^.^ Again… thanks? I won't take it the wrong way; didn't I say I accept criticism? Thanks for your honesty. I agree that in recent chapters, plots are virtually non-existent, but these are the requests I'm getting. My recent reviews are asking for plot-less, sense-less humour, which I give because I love it just as much as them ^.^ Sloppy… Hm. I suppose I see your angle, but really, I think my writing standard is at a constant, just the descriptions and appealing techniques and whatever, are waning because my reviews are asking for different themes. I'm not offended, thanks for telling me.
Prisma Honeydew: Welcome :D Why not? SOMEONE STOLE YOUR BALLOON? OH HELL NAW! No need to feel flattered when you're as awesome as me B| Lawl, jk, I'm a fish.
Wolfie: A lot of people tell me that .-. xD Lawl, you're one of many. *Faraway look in my eyes* *Plays sad music* *Hair waves in the wind* *Stands on top of a hill* Enough of the clichés, I'm used to that xD
Seeya next week! (Probably tomorrow…?)
I accept anonymous reviews.
Any scenarios you want me to write, just tell me.
Any flames/criticism is accepted.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
