The next day
"The situation is bad Hotohori, innocents are getting attacked by what it seems Muraki's minions. Muraki's alive." Tatsumi, who was one of the six top Gods, the elemental God of Earth reported. Since it was not a formal occasion his hair was left down, his golden eyes were bleary as if he hadn't slept at all.
"He wants revenge." Aya said coldly. The red head wasn't too pleased when a messenger woke him early in the morning for an urgent council.
"Destroy the enemy before he has a chance to act." Satoshi added, finishing braiding her long jet black hair. Hotohori let out a puff.
"Maybe the elders should have named you Strife and Hatsui Silence." The God of Strife gave out a quizzical expression. True, he hadn't emitted a word since he came in; on the other hand every word that came out of Satoshi's mouth had been along the lines of: "Lets go and give that grandmother-fucker a serious whopping and kick his sorry ass all the way back down to Hades!!" and she was the Angel of Silence.
Suddenly the door opened abruptly then banged shit, making the occupants jump. Even the great god of death himself.
The God of Justice, God of Chaos followed closely by Goddess of Discord stormed through the door, their sour moods crackled like lighting around them.
"I agree with Satoshi! We can't just sit here!" Discord paced up to Hotohori's desk. `Great she heard it...she heard it all...Damn Satoshi and HER big mouth.'
Arushii has been known for her ways for getting something she wants. No matter how ridiculous it might be, if discord wants. Discord gets. Simple.
"This is ridiculous!! We killed that fucker!" Bakura raged.
"He did to be precise." Satoshi flicked her ebony eyes at Hatsui standing in the corner.
Something was nagging him. This happened before, he killed The Lord of Evil Muraki but why? How? What happened? Questions floated around his head.
"It could be some other kind of evil. There is a possibility." A silver short haired god argued, his sky blue eyes showing annoyance.
"To know your enemy you must first see them." Kaede continued.
"Please. Not you and your philosophy Kaede. It bored me." Aya snorted. Seto looked up from his part of the room.
"I don't understand why you call ME the hothead; her head is hotter than mine at the moment." Seto commented flickered with amusement.
Malik slapped his forehead.
"Oh please Seto, this isn't the time your sarcasm is killing me." The sandy haired God complained.
"Did you just call me a Hothead!? You prick!" ebony coloured eyes sparked.
Hotohori winced. Tatsumi sighed.
"That name does go around." Aya joined in and flashed him a devil smile.
"Aya, you're as worst as Malik." Arushii snorted.
Tatsumi cleared his throat loudly. The occupants in the room snapped at his attention.
The young emperor sighed.
"I guess I have decided. To send out a team to investigate." His golden eyes narrowed.
"Satoshi. Since you're so eager." The Angel of Silence opened her mouth as to say a nasty reply, but stopped herself short by closing her mouth again.
"Arushii."
"Hotohori-sama. May I have permission to go?" the grey eyed god interrupted, pairs of colourful eyes looked at him with shock. Hotohori's eyes hardened.
"Since...since I already killed him once and he probably has a grudge against me..." he continued his grey eyes expressionless.
After a thought Hotohori gave in.
"Yess I don't see why not. Ever since the day you came back, you've only been a lazy bum. So here's an opportunity to get some fresh air and stretch those muscles." He snickered.
"Besides you the sane one out of those two." He indicated to the two spluttering females.
"Please keep an eye on them. Two eyes if possible." He winced at some memories when various numbers of Gods, Goddesses and Angels came to him to complain about those two.
Hatsui bowed deeply.
"Thank you Hotohori-sama."
Aya locked eyes with Seto standing on the opposite side of the room. A silent exchange went between them.
Kaede looked unease.
"And the rest of you, take care of your allocated areas. Report anything suspicious back to me immediately." The Elemental God ordered as he shimmered off. Hatsui, Discord and Silence followed the same suit, while Bakura politely excused himself and used the door.
Just as Aya and Seto approached the door.
"Um...guys." Hotohori began.
The two gods turned around to face the emperor. Waiting.
"I know you two are up to something." Hotohori said bluntly.
"Up to something? Geez Hoto I dunno? Why don't you tell me?" Aya gasped.
Hotohori rubbed his temples.
"Look, just don't do anything I wouldn't do. Last time you two had that `look' you nearly raged Heaven Hell War. So please be responsible." `If there's such word in your vocabulary list.' He added underneath his breathe. Seto snorted and walked out the door with Aya giving Hotohori an innocent smile.
Malik waited for the door to close, the he strode up to the young emperor. His temper barely suppressed.
"Why did you do that!? It's not like you don't know what happened the last time Hatsui faced Muraki!!!" he shouted at Hotohori his usually serene amethyst coloured eyes now a blazed with pain and anger.
Golden eyes met his.
"Don't push it Malik."
It was Kaede's turn to speak.
"Malik, Hatsui is a god. He doesn't need a flippin nurse maid deciding his options for him." his own anger simmering.
"Shut up! What do you know!" the blonde god snapped at Kaede.
"Malik, he's got discord and silence with him and they're investigating not attempting assassination." Hotohori spoke calmly, understanding his friend's concern.
Malik bit back a nasty reply.
Sky blue eyes clouded.
"I don't understand why you so...protective of him. It's not like you like him-"
"Curse the fucken Elders. Yes I like him!!! Is that good enough answer Kaede?! I loved him since the day I lay my eyes on him!!!" Malik screamed in confession, new tears pricked his eyes.
"I lost him once and I'm not going to lose him again!" he said between his teeth a hazy purple aura glowed around him, amethyst eyes blazing with confidence.
The door banged closed as the sandstorm exited the room.
Hotohori rubbed his temples again.
"Kaede, if you don't mind please keep an eye on him." He said as the Angel of Sight began to leave, his sky-blue eyes wide with disbelief at Malik's confession.
"And one more thing."
Golden eyes met sky-blue.
"Keep to yourself what happened just then."
Kaede nodded just slightly as he left the young emperor deep in his thoughts
`Malik.....'
