Airaka felt the feeling returning to her fingers as the younger blond released her fingers. Skyla, or Skor, as she much more enjoyed to be called, had dragged Airaka outside as soon Mariel and Xtol had been set to rest. In the mood for a chocolate bar this late at night. Airaka yawned, covering her mouth with the back of her hand.
She had to move quickly to keep up with the girl, though quietly pulled to a stop before a four way crossing. The wind had picked up, scattering the late night snow fall everywhere. She coughed, brushing her crimson hair from her eyes, she looked both ways, grabbing Skor's shirt to slow the girl down as well. Airaka looked back at Skor with a smile, and a nod, then proceeded in crossing the street.
That was when the wind picked up again, and Airaka paused. The air was acting odd today. Less then half way across the road, she grabbed back on to Skor's shirt, trying to force the girl back to the side walk. Unfortunately, death came rolling down the street, in the shape of a large semi. Airaka pressed against Skor, only to trip over Skor's feet knocking the two to the ground.
Spirits had been pulling upon the threads of their reality at that moment. Causing a bizarre craving, strange winds, and eventually even a trip that ended their lives. It wasn't that the spirits wanted them dead. After all what had the two done to them? They were just doing their job as the bonders of the Tison gods and their future guardians. The two would soon be back to their charges and maybe a chocolate bar.
The spirits quickly did some important work. Cleaning up the scene, pulling the two into their realm, separating the bodies and souls, and placing lovely golden chains around each woman's neck that would later hold the relic for the god they'd guard.
Their bodies-as well as information on who they were and where they had to be-were left on the Tison space ship the Samadueanna where it's Captain Rouge, as well as a small baby boy, received them, and sat down to read the information and await Skor and Airaka's awakening. Meanwhile the souls of the two women were sent straight to the spirit realm. They'd strangely been picked to both receive their gods at the same time and stranger still twin goddesses-instead of both taking hold of one-separated and took hold of one of the two woman. When they were finally bonded with the two they returned to their bodies-the bonded souls going into the relics that appeared around their necks. At that time they woke up, as if it'd been a vivid dream, to see the woman sitting at the end of the bed holding the baby.
Skyla quickly opened her eye and shot up into the sitting position. Her eyes were a bit blurry and couldn’t see a thing in front of her. She placed her hands into a fist and rubbed her eye, but Skyla had the feeling something was different, something was not right. Slowly, the blond opened her eyes to spot a women on the other side of the bed holding a baby.
This wasn’t anyone she knew, nor any of Airaka’s friends she had met. The Blonde’s sliver eye widen as she quickly searched the room at her eye level for Airaka. When she took a glance to the side, she felt more calm, more secure now that she knew where the crimson haired girl was. She had nudged Airaka with her elbow lightly, praying for her to wake up soon.
Skyla had started to feel uneasy around this stranger and wonder how they ended up on this bed. Her eyes started to blink faster. In fact she couldn’t remember what had happened after they crossed the street. All that she remember was craving White chocolate.
Airaka pulled awake after Skor, feeling the elbow in her side, placing a hand over her left eye. It seemed to be giving off a pulsating sensation that drove into the back of her skull. Shaking her head, she raised her head, to look around, lowering her hand subconsciously to the relic. The chain felt cold, and yet, one could grab the warmth of her body heat on the necklace if they concentrated. How long had she been asleep?
She rocked side to side slowly as she regained her vision. Looking over at Skor, she was faintly surprised the girl hadn't erupted at the new area. Slowly, she turned her vision towards the other female and the boy. A smile broke her lips, and she raised a hand waving at the child.
Moving the hand to her mouth, curling it into a fist, she coughed once, then lowered the fist back to the bed, smiling at the woman.
"Hello," came her quiet voice.
The baby was delighted to say the least. He reached his arms out, squealing a bit and trying to hug Airaka from his end of the room. The woman smiled at the other two and let the boy down on the bed near to Airaka. He wanted to play with her and she seemed nice enough. They both had children anyway so it shouldn't be problem. "Hello to the both of you as well. My name is Rouge and I'm afraid you two were chosen for something you weren't quite expecting involving another universe, reborn deities, and caring for said deities."
Skyla blinked and pretty much wrapped herself around Airaka’s arm She eyed the baby and smiled at it. Suddenly, Skyla remember she had placed a small plush toy in her pocket. Her left hand slowly unraveled from her partners arms and reached into her pocket. With a bit of a struggle, Skyla was able to pull out a Neko plush toy and placed it by the baby.
It wasn’t as big as any of her other plush toys but it wasn’t too small that if the boy placed it in his mouth, he would choke. Her head faced up at Airaka’s and she gave a big grin. The grin was big as if she had just done a good deed of some sort. Slowly her eye wandered back to the Rouge.
“What do you mean~?” her sweet childish voice asked staring in confusion.
Again she had let go of Airaka’s arm but this time she placed her hand on the golden pendent she had. This was when she noticed something was around her neck. Quickly, the blond looked at it. It made her feel warm and fuzzy. Like a big teddy bear in her room.
The baby quickly grabbed for the toy happily, snuggling it. It was soft and snuggly and therefore was perfect to cuddle with. He didn't seem to have any teeth yet but he did seem to be having fun tugging on the ear of it with his mouth and snuggling the plushie. Meanwhile Rouge watched the two women as they looked at their matching relics. both were of a cornucopia. Which gave the woman a slight inkling as to which gods they might be.
Airaka gently pulled the boy towards her, having him close enough to her that he could lean and not fall off the bed. She watched the boy for a moment, a soft smile on her face, before she looked back over at the woman.
Rouge had manage to confuse Airaka, though that wasn't that difficult of a task. Another universe. Reborn deities..
"What happened to the other world? ... and why us?"
She looked over at Skor, her eyes showing faint worry for the teenager. Would she be alright with a life entrusted to her?
"The other world is right where it was before you were sent here. As for why I haven't got a bloody clue. We'll be arriving back at your home shortly and there's White chocolate on the night stand. But before we send you back we have to inform you of what the job you were chosen for entails. While we don't know how you're chosen we know what you have to do. It seems two reborn goddesses from the other universe I mentioned-named Tison by the way-are going to be in your care. This little tyke you see before you is one of the other reborn gods whose currently in my care. You guys, if you need it, will have help with money and housing. The main thing is you take good care of them and don't brute about that you're caring for these children. It could get a bit bad for them if the god who killed them in the first place finds out they're existing and has someone kill them."
Skyla listened intensely trying to understand what was had happened, but she lost sudden interest when she heard the word White Chocolate. Her head turn to look at Airaka making a glee type face.. She could barely hold her excitement and decided if she could listen they would get back sooner..
The only part she has listen to was the beginning before ‘White Chocolate’ and the part about not to tell others.
“So we’ll be raising two more children but, the catch is that were not allowed to tell others we have them?” she said with a pout on her look. The fun about having to help Airaka care for her children was to tell her little other private school friends about them.
Her heart sank a bit, but Skyla was a bit selfish. Of course it was because of her family she was born into that caused her to be slightly greedy. Unwrapping her arms from Airaka, the blond crawled over to the baby and grinned watching it play with the plush toy.
“Take care of it for me will yeah~?” She said feeling as though some of her selfishness started to disappear.
Airaka smiled at Skor, noting that she was becoming restless. It seemed she still craved food. Placing a hand on Skor's hair, she gave the girl a more reassuring grin.
"I believe it just means we can't scream that they are goddesses."
As Skor moved to play with the child, Airaka looked back at Rouge.
"Thank you for the offer for help. We already have a house.. But some money to help would be much enjoyed."
She gave the woman a warm grin. Taking care of five- including Skyla,- kids was going to be difficult. Especially since she got fired from her job.
"You can tell them you recieved children just not that they're goddesses as Airaka said." Rouge confirmed with a nod. "And the money can be arranged to be taken back with you." reaching in her pocket she pulled out a small white paper. "This is my number and ways to contact me if you guys need help. I was informed that it takes about 2 days for them to turn into babies. So keep that in mind." she informed them.
Diyaka squealed and leaned up to peck Skor on the cheek with a baby kiss. He was very very sweet. And if he was one of the reborn god babies theirs could be sweet too! biggrin
Skyla gave the boy a pet on the head grinning. When she heard that they needed some money, Skyla quickly turned around and tilted her head to the side.
“I could have gotten a part-time job! I heard that the Chocolate lady across the street would hire me if I wanted to work!” she said not noticing she had changed the subject. She gave a sigh and crawled to Rouge and smiled.
“Thank you, Miss, for your generosity!” Slowly, the blond stood up and gave the women a quick hug, also attempting to keep balance. When Skyla did loose balance, she rolled backwards until her bottom hit the dashboard and her legs were in the air. A small giggle escaped her lips as she slowly turn right-side up and wrapped herself around Airaka again.
Airaka smiled, taking the piece of paper from Rouge.
"Yes. Thank you for the help."
She looked back over at Skyla, tapping the child on the nose. She shook her head silently, and smiled at her. Raising the arm the Skorie hadn't wrapped herself around to her face, she coughed a couple more times then nodded to the woman.
She placed a had protectively on the relic, now sensing the faint magic that flowed through it. No doubt the goddess would need to work hard to get to her former power. Yawning, her hand raised back to her mouth, and she nodded at Rouge.
"Well I believe we should have arrived now. Follow me." Rouge said with a smile, picking up the baby-who'd somehow fallen asleep again snugglign the toy-and led them to the transporter room. There was silver briefcase and a rather large bar of white chocolate-as long as the top of the briefcase!-waiting for them in front of the transporter. "Adieu ladies. You should have babies in two days time. There is money in the case to pay for their care and getting you set to take them in." and with that another pair of guardians had recieved their charges.
