-A meeting all new was coming but who would talk first Izanami or Izanagi-

"get out of my house," Izanagi initiating the conversation

"I'm not in your house I'm on the steps," she says smirking

-The tension is so thick you could cut through it-

"she was always like this now that I remember always finding technicalities or loopholes hate to say it but she was probably the smarter of us but now that I'm looking at her she's changed, her appearance is different so is her personality well that makes sense seeing how long she was in yomi"

-Izangi finishes the sentence in his mind a starts looking Izanami up and down-

"she has purple hair that goes down to her mid-back level and I don't know why she didn't keep the black she had and those deep red crimson eyes her eyes were red before but just looking into them gives me the chills"

"creep," Izanami says disgusted

-Izanagi is stunned for a moment before pointing to himself-

"do you mean me" says a little shaken

"yes" Izanami responds

"I'm not a creep you-you ugh never mine I'll be the bigger person here and stop the argument"

"Heh you can't come up with a comeback can you," Izanami says smirking

"I can I just don't want to"

"Don't act like you're the bigger person here"

-Izanagi and Izanami start staring at each other intensely a little of their aura coming out-

"H-hey armored idiot you think we should stop them," Kagutsuchi says meekly

-Hachiman looks at her with a scowl-

"don't call me armored idiot" Hachiman replies gruffly

"Yes sir," Kagutsuchi says sarcastically rolling her eyes

"I don't think so not yet it's a good way to let them release the tension they have I think they won't get into a fight lady Izanami is smart enough to not want to draw the attention of the other gods to Izanagi," Hachiman says "no matter what she says she still cares about him"

-as Hachiman says this Izanagi is sent flying into a tree before releasing his divine aura and Kagutsuchi turns to Hachiman with a smirk-

"they wouldn't fight you said" Kagutsuchi is completely smirking but theirs a little worry in her voice

"Those two are idiots" Hachiman replies pinching his face

-Before he finishes Izanagi is already up and about clashing a katana with Izanami's scythe-

"hmph is this the extent of your power you've barely grown," Izanamis says parrying a slash from him

-Izanagi scoffs but mentally he's thinking-

"This isn't my full extent but it's close yet she's effortlessly parried my blows she's faster and physically stronger than me how do I get out of this" Izanagi brainstorms ways but before he can Izanamis scythe slashes his cheek "Hey I spent years keeping my beauty up"

"well that doesn't matter cause it doesn't seem to be working," Izanmi says cockily

"Little brat"

"creep" Izanmi replies

"I'm not a creep"

"yet you were checking me out I hope you realize our relationship is already over" Izanmis retorts

"you just looked different so"

"So you were checking me out creep"

-Izanagi's veins start bulging before he charges at Izanmi and swings his blade Izanmi dodges it easily a prepares to counter-attack him-

"Hmph the human world has made you weak you've stagnated," Izanami says with a tone of disappointment

-Izanami prepares to kick Izanagi in the stomach but then a pillar of rock comes out of the ground and hits her away more pillars of rock come out of the ground all behind Izanagi moving like worms-

"Stagnated huh, I can still beat you even if I did stagnate"

"the pride before the fall" Izanmi replies before getting up

-My dear reader have you ever gotten hit in the stomach it hurts right and it makes you mad at the person who hit you that is exactly how Izanmi felt mad but here's the thing about Izanami she was mad but she's been madder she can control her emotion one hit won't take her down-

"Izanami I-I don't want to hurt you please leave me alone"

"heh funny joke that just made me madder acting like you care huh" Izanmi grips her scythe more tightly "Let's see what you can do Kami of creation"

"I was able to make the rock pillars out of earth magic it's been a while since I used magic so my body has to get used to this new influx of power but it shouldn't take long four pillars are all I need," Izanagi thinks before pointing his sword at Izanami "don't say I didn't warn you let's tango brat"

Izanami sighs "Don't call me a brat creep"

-Izanagi points his sword at Izanami and all four pillars start chasing her around Izanami starts slicing the rock pillars but they keep on reforming-

"I'm just wasting energy cutting all of them down the scythe is good but all I'm doing is cleaving it down when they can reform I have to switch weapons," Izanami thinks while her scythe starts to shine

-Dear reader weapons of the gods made from their divine power can't just change automatically they have to be molded for a while until they are ready during the weapon change that is a weakness in a fight a weakness Izanagi knows-

"come to think of it where has Izanagi been only his earth pillars have been doing the job where has he been, "Izanami thinks this while her scythe is still shifting "Is he hiding somewhere but I can't read his aura cause those pillars are distracting it he couldn't have run away right"

-Izanami is lost in thought until the ground opens up and 4 more pillars come out and hit Izanami right in the stomach sending her flying and dropping her weapon as Izanami tries to get up Izanagi puts his sword to her throat-

"Lucky hit," Izanami says groaning

"yeah yeah you've lost"

-Izanami does a slight smirk while looking at Izanagi-

"I've got you right where I want you, creep," Izanami says with a smirk

-Izanagis face is shocked before he regains composure-

"Stop calling me a creep, also a lot of villains say that, you're completely unarmed and I have my katana at your throat

"hmph pinning a poor defenseless woman down and you wonder why I call you a creep," Izanami says

"you started this fight" Izanagi retorts

"Only because you provoked me but that doesn't matter now I've got you where I want you"

-Izanagi puts her finger up and a dark ball forms she shoots, and black energy pours out and hits Izanagi blasting him away-

"hmph showing yourself was the first mistake not noticing me gather energy into my finger was your second," Izanami says as she starts walking toward him "Do you think you're the only one who knows magic you've stagnated that's why you lost"

-The dust clears from the blast and we see Izanagi walk out spitting out some blood his shirt is torn to shreds his pants are heavily damaged but still covering the "Important bits"-

"Ugh I had to use divine energy just to mend my pants," Izanagi says as he spits out some more blood

-we see Izanami's face turn red as she looks away hastily-

"P-PUT ON A SHIRT" Izanami screams

"You destroyed my shirt and told me to put one on HOW IS THAT FAIR" Izanagi screams

-Izanami's face is still bright red as she looks away Izanagi is quiet till he gets a sly smile"

"Izanami are you flustered" Izanagi says with his smile

"Me flustered NO WAY" Izanami retorts flustered

"hmm then why don't you look me in the eyes huh," Izanagi says enjoying Izanami's flustered face

-Izanami slowly turns her head back but then her gaze falters and she looks at his abs-

"creep" Izanagi retorts

"SHUT UP you're the creep how did you even get a body like that you were gorging on fast food"

"hmp checking me out, and also stalking me, yeah you're a creep"

-Izanami is shocked for a moment before her hands sparkle and a spear forms-

"I-! was only doing that to find you l-let's just get back to the fight"

"Fine then change thee subject let's just finish the fight then "

-Izanagi charges at Izanami his earth pillars going first but Izanagi just does multiple jabs as the earth pillars destroying them before reaching Izanagi and doing one jab in the air the force almost knocking him back Izanagi gets into a running position and runs at Izanami before he hears a voice-

"War Weapons creation: Chains Of War," Hachiman says calmly

-Chains sprout out from the ground and trip Izanagi and he lands right on top of Izanami whose face turns red as a tomato-

"GET OFF," Izanami says embarrassed and flustered

-Izanagi gets kicked off Izanami as his cheeks are red too-

"Hachiman why did you stop me then," Izanagi says gruffly

"the real question is why I didn't stop you earlier Lady Izanami with all due respect you've completely blown our cover the Greek and Egyptian gods know we're here let's just talk about what we want with Izanagi like we should've done earlier and not act like children" Hachimans sighs "let's finish this up fast"

-Hachiman walks into Izanagi's cabin looking at the others and gesturing for them to follow him Kagutsuchi does so with no hesitation while both Izanami and Izanagi stare at each other before their weapons disappear and they start walking into Izanagi's cabin-

"ugh get out of my Cabin," Izanagi says dryly

"house looks more like a rundown log cabin crudely put together and you're supposed to be the kami of creation," Izanami says smirking

-Izanagi looks at Izanami scowling-

"I don't have time for you brat," Izanagi says before walking into the cabin

-Izanagi walks in front of her but we pan into both of their faces Izanagi and Izanami's faces both look hurt for a moment before she walks into the cabin-

"so," Izanagi says before using his divine power to make a chair to sit on "what the h*ll do you want"

-Izanami moves to speak before Hachiman cuts her off-

"If you talk you'll just end up fighting again let me do it"

-Izanami sighs and tells Hachiman to continue-

"After multiple thousands of years of your retirement things started to change in the Pantheons this happened about 100 hundred years ago so not that far away from now," Hachiman says sighing a little

"what change is Amateratsu alright" Izanagi replies a little worried

-Izanami scoffs before speaking-

"Of course, you only ask about Amteratsu how about your other kids Susanoo and Tsukoyomi" Izanami says this you can feel she's mad "Pay attention to them, Susanoo always told me how you always valued Amateratasu more than you did him"

"Of course, he talks to you" Izanagi sighs "he was always a trouble maker of course I doted on Amateratsu more"

"How about Tsukoyomi how was he" She says this but is getting more and more mad

"I could never get a good read on him he always hid his true feelings I couldn't dote on someone whose feelings I didn't understand" Izanagi responds agitated

"or maybe you never tried," Izanagi says poking His buttons

"or maybe you should"

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT" Hachiman yells "Both of you quiet"

-Izanagi scowls at Izanami before speaking"-

"fine then finish your tale," Izanagi says agitation in his voice

"I would ha-" Hachiman sighs "Never mind, anyway 100 years ago strange accidents started happening in the Shinto, greek, and Egyptian pantheon people would get hurt sabotages would happen we don't know who it is because they incredibly fast I think it was Zeus"

-Izanagi looks shocked as his eyebrows raise-

"ZEUS he may be an a*shole horrible husband" Izanamis about to say something but closes her mouth "And someone I didn't quite like but he wouldn't just attack other pantheons like that he was smart enough to know that it wouldn't end well"

-Hachiman waits for Izanagi to finish before sighing-

"I don't know what happened to him he just changed 100 years ago suddenly he became more aggressive he started demanding concessions for the smaller pantheons us shinto and the Egyptian pantheon told him to quit bothering the other pantheons but he always threatened us with war if we intervened basically locking us out of intervening" Hachiman lets out a little of his aura saying this before putting it back

"well there has to be someone behind this I didn't like Zeus but that doesn't sound like him at all he was ambitious but that ambition was only towards his pantheon and women" Izanagi sighs "Somebody has to be pulling the strings"

"That's what I and Amateratsu think too he committed acts of sabotage but someone controlling him" Hachiman appears deep in thought saying this

"hmmm could it be Athena maybe" Izanagi looks deep in thought before speaking "no I have a great deal of respect for her and I know her personality she's not someone to start wars she doesn't like them unlike that blunder head areas"

-Hachiman snags onto this-

"what do you think about her Athena" Hachiman asks

"hmm Athena I can tell she is strong she doesn't have the physical strength-like areas but I can say this without being embarrassed" Izanagi takes a deep breath she's definitely the smartest person I know but if you asking about her appearance I would say she is quite pretty but you have no chance with her she doesn't seem to be into romance"

-Izanami's fingers twitch with nobody sees and Hachiman gets a little shocked-

"I wasn't asking about it like that I was asking about it like how powerful she is" Hachiman starts fanboying a little "She's the golden standard of war deities she's what every war deity hopes to be well except for Ares but he's an idiot"

-Izanagi gives Hachiman a look saying sure as he coughs to get rid of the tension but he sees Kagutsuchi laughing"

"Be quiet Kagutsuchi" Hachiman says embarrassed

"you have a crush you have a crush" Kagutsuchi teases

"QUIET anyway the reason we called you here is because we need you," Hachiman says dead serious

-Izanagi raises an eyebrow-

"Need me I'm sure you guys can find out what's happening with Zeus by yourself," Izanagi says

"no not for that for a war that will inevitably come"

-Izanagi looks skeptical-

"war you guys have the Egyptian pantheon on your side I'm sure you'll be fine it'll be a 2 versus 1"

"ah I did not tell you did I," Hachiman says calmly

"What didn't you tell me," Izanagi says worry in his voice

"the Egyptian pantheon doesn't like us either," Hachiman says this dead calm

"F*CKKKKKKK"

-Izanagi picks up his chair and throws it at the wall but it disappears before it hits the wall he makes another one and it's his hand on his face-

"Do I have to ask why?" Izanagi says somberly

"they believe the sabotages were truly from us" Hachiman puts his finger to his chin "No they're trying to believe that narrative to cause a war with us they think weak and think a war would be easily won"

"ugh say goodbye to my retirement," Izanagi thinks

"so will you join us in winning or stopping this war" Hachiman reaches out his his hand

-Izanagi goes to grab Hachiman's hand but then all of a sudden the room goes dark and he's left in a Void-

"NO NO NO" Izanagi screams for no one to hear "Not another vision of the future Ameno that bast gave me this just to punish me I know it"

-Before Izanagi can say anything else the room reshapes into a crater with only stumps left around-

"Where am I what will it be this time" Izanagi frantically looked around before looking down and seeing Izanami motionless on the ground with her back to him

-Izanagi walks over to her shakily before turning her over and seeing a diagonal slash that goes all the way to her shoulder backing away-

"IZANAMI" Izanagi starts crying "No WHY WHY WHY WHY"

-Izanagi starts crying until he hears a voice behind him but theirs dust covering that person-

"ah how beautiful the emotion of remorse knowing that you couldn't save someone you loved," the unknown man says with a joyful voice

-Izangi stares at the man with hatred burning in his eyes-

"what not going to refute my claim that you love her or did you give up on that lie" The man does a dramatic sigh "Killing someone so beautiful really sucks but she got in my way she had to go it was me or her"

-Izanagi stands up with hatred in his eyes before saying one thing"

"I'm gonna kill you"

"come and try it you fool," the man says

-Izanagi jumps at the man his fist reeled back but then it cuts back to the real world-

"Izanagi you're supposed to shake my hand," Hachiman says impatiently

-Izanagi shocked for a moment before slapping away Hachiman's hand-

"Who do you think I am there's no way I'm working with those two," Izanagi says angrily

-Kagutsuchi gets up to fight with him but Hachiman and Izanami stop her-

"is this really what you want Izanagi" Her eyes narrow as she says this but she's speaking in that calm voice like she did in the fast food place

"I don't work with monsters," Izanagi says quickly responding with "Now get out"

-Izanami starts walking out-

"let's go you guys," Izanami says coldly

-Hachiman does a huff before walking out-

"Lady Izanami are we really going to stand for this he insulted us," Kagutsuchi says angrily

"Let's go NOW Kagutsuchi," Izanami says this even colder

"Ugh" Kagutsuchi blows her tongue at Izanagi before walking out

-All that's left is Izanami and Izanagi and their eyes lock before Izanami starts walking out-

"I guess this is goodbye for now," Izanami says

"Forever" Izanagi retorts

-Izanami narrows her eyes and leaves and when they're all gone Izanagi sits down-

"FEW" Izanagi does a massive sigh "It took me so much not to call out to her... but it's for her own good she doesn't like me I know it"

~Or is that what you're telling yourself~

"I was wondering when you would appear voice in my head that seeks to make my life worse," Izanagi says like he's gone through this before

~I was busy making other people's lives hell you can't tie me down I'm just more into being open you know~

"Hey voice in my head I had this crazy thought that maybe you're just a figment of my imagination but that's just crazy," Izanagi says (He's insane)

~Yeah crazy~

Mount Olympus

-We cut to a a huge bath house with a blonde bathing in it until a maid comes in and looks flustered-

"u-um lord Hermes lord Zeus Is calling for you," the maid says looking away

"hmph what does that geezer want" Hermes says without a care in the world

"I don't know sir he just told me to get you" The maid is practically shaking

-Hermes scoffs before starting to walk up to the maid nude-

"why don't you just take a bath with me I'm quite lonely you see" he pulls her chin to his face

-The maid becomes a stuttering mess before running out of the room-

"SORRY LORD HERMES I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO" the young maid exclaims running away

"tsk hmph I can never get a brave one, well let's go see what that geezer wants" Hermes sighs and takes his towel and in a flash is at Lord Zeus' room

"You call geezer," Hermes says bravely

"I've told you multiple times not to call me a geezer boy," Zeus says seriously

"And I've told you not to call me boy" Hermes states

-Zeus starts walking down the steps of his throne and we see his face he has grey curly hair that goes down and forms a beard his eyes are a deep blue almost like they

have lighting in them and he's wearing a blue tunic that hangs on his shoulder he's extremely tall and is wearing brown Roman sandals Zeus keeps walking before reaching the window-

"first lose that attitude Second lose that towel and go put on some actual clothes Hermes," Zeus says in a gruff voice

"ugh fine" Hermes mutters something under his breath "Stupid geezer"

"I heard that" Zeus retorts

-Hermes is gone and back in a flash with his new clothes on he has curly blonde hair in a tight ponytail braid it reaching all the way to his waist he has blue eyes and he's wearing a white shirt split in the open showing his chest being held by black silk with puff at the split ends he end s it off with some bland white pants and brown sandals-

"Hmph better I bet you're interested in the reason I called you," Zeus says looking out his window

"No not really," Hermes says blandly

Zeus ignores the provocation before continuing "Do you know of the god no "Kami" Izanagi"

"ah that guy" Hermes puts his fist on his open palm "the embarrassment of Shinto he left everything onto his daughter and then just disappeared jeez even you're a better father than that guy"

-Zeus stares at Hermes with his eyebrows furrowed before continuing -

"I've sensed his energy along with Izanamis'" Zeus says "I think you know what I want you to do"

"ah you want me to kill him," Hermes says not fazed

"kill no I want you to capture him he'll be an important bargaining chip at the start of the war" Zeus explains "Amaterasu has a weak spot for her father we can get an important bargain out of it"

"All alright your wish is my command, Your Majesty," Hermes says sarcastically

-Hermes is about to zoom off before he's stopped by Zeus saying one more thing-

"Also Hermes one more thing if he activates his balance breaker run away I need you for the war so I can't have you dying to some low life," Zeus says looking at Hermes

-Hermes Burst out laughing before looking mad-

"YOU THINK I"D LOSE TO SOME LOW LIFE WHO'S BEEN SPENDING THOUSANDS OF YEARS MINGLING WITH HUMANS," Hermes says angrily "MY infinite velocity will take care of him" Hermes grips his fist and leaves"

Back to Izanagi

-Izanagi is sitting bored before he hears a knock on his door-

"Is he here?" Izanagi thinks "or is it those guys again"

-The door is knocked on again and Izanagi starts walking toward it-

"I'M COMING" Izanagi opens his door a woosh of wind comes out but he sees nobody he closes the door and looks back "Who knocked on my door"

-He turns around and sees Hermes and Immediately puts up a stance and summons his sword-

"Woah that was a pretty fast summoning you would have to be a god of speed to summon it that fast," Hermes says fascinated "You're sure you Izanagi"

"the one and only" Izanagi retorts

"y'know Originally I was gonna beat you up and drag you to Olympus but you can come with me the hard or easy way," Hermes says smiling evilly

"the hard way you little sh*t," Izangi says this and throws his sword right at Hermes' face

"ah what a beautiful sword" Hermes easily dodges the attack as it destroys part of the wall "My turn~"

-Hermes runs at Izanagi and appears in front of him in an instant-

"I HAVE TO BLOCK THE ATTACK" Izanagi says putting his arms out to block but Hermes punches him out the building "argh"

"I guess it's the hard way says Hermes" smiling like the devil
