"Come on" said a voice. "You gotta have more faith in me. I ain't going down that easily"
Kiyone and Mihoshi looked around until they saw Hakubi walking towards the cabin calmly with a smile on his face. Minagi walked out of the cabin and grinned .
"How's come you didn't get back right away?" asked Kiyone her voice even .
"Well I had to be sure that she had went away" said Hakubi. "I don't believe she'll be back"
Mihoshi spotted all the bruises on Hakubi's body. "It must have been a tough fight"
" Nah" said Hakubi putting his arm around Mihoshi and kissing her which caused Mihoshi to blush. "That android was one hell of a fighter though. I barely had enough time to duplicate myself and it's just luck that she didn't notice it"
Minagi sighed and glanced in the direction where Android 21 had flown off. Then she said, "Who's turn is it to cook this morning?"
Hakubi, Kiyone and Mihoshi exchanged looks.
" I believe it's mine " said Kiyone turning and re-enterimg the log cabin.
"I'm going to finish my morning exercises" said Hakubi walking a short distance away and started to do something that greatly resembled yoga. It wasn't exactly yoga but it had similar movements. Mihoshi just stared at Hakubi and had a faint smile on her face . Minagi watched for a moment and then went into the cabin.
"I'll help you with breakfast" said Minagi.
Kiyone grumbled something noncommittal.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Minagi.
Kiyone sighed. " The idea was to hide that sword away with me and me alone. But that airhead Mihoshi insisted on joining me in safeguarding it along with me and Hakubi"
Minagi chuckled. "And I just happened to be in the same room when Tokimi swallowed up those two"
The TV in the living room switched on meaning that Mihoshi had entered the cabin. It was some kind of super sentai show judging by the sounds and dialogue.
"Those two have been lovey-dovey each and every day" said Kiyone after a long pause. "Makes me a little jealous really"
Minagi was pulling out eggs from the fridge along with a jug of milk.
"She's pregnant you know" said Minagi. She had said it causal voice.
Kiyone had stopped dead in the act of turning on the stove and putting a skillet on it. The skillet clanged on the floor.
"What?!" asked Kiyone.
"They just found out the day before yesterday" said Minagi putting the eggs and milk on the counter and picking up the skillet that had dropped to the floor.
Kiyone opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again ....and then promptly closed it.
"Are you really that surprised?" asked Minagi. " How many of those orgies did we all partake in? Not all of us were fucking gods"
"I....well.....I....I....." said Kiyone going red all over. " I....don't know how to feel about that.....I mean......I'm.....I guess I'm happy for them. Been quite a while since we had a baby around"
Mihoshi walked into the kitchen. "Is everything okay? I heard something crash on the floor in here"
" Everything's just fine here" said Minagi who had a slight smirk on her face glancing at Kiyone.
"Yeah....just peachy" said Kiyone.
Mihoshi stared at Kiyone and Minagi for a moment then shrugged her shoulders and went back to her TV program .


**********************

The young man known simply known as Z walked into his quarters at the fortress of Thayylesa. The quarters were assigned to him about a week ago. It was a spartan room all things considered. Z needed no frivolous things or processions. Hell, Z was supposedly headed for ruler of the universe if it wasn't for that damned Tenchi and that Tokimi bitch.
Z was reborn on the planet thanks to Tokimi with his memory wiped....or that was the intent. Somehow he had retained all the memories from his previous life but not his powers such as summoning those lovely light-hawk wings.
The console in the corner beeped demanding attention. Z eyed the communication console before heading towards it. He switched it on to reveal a distorted image.
"All of you are moving much too slowly" said a feminine voice.
"Be patient" said Z. " You knew this was gonna take a while "
The distorted image of a young woman sighed. "Yes I knew. I have been patient for millennia. But that patience is wearing thin now. You all know the location of this Haruhi Suzumiya so get her"
"Why do you even need her to reboot the multiverse?" asked Z. " Can't you do it? "
There was five beats of silence.
"It turns out no" said the woman.
"Why can't you?" challenged Z.
" Zamasu stops me" said the woman simply. "He has his own agenda and I have mine"
"You mean Operation Absolute" said Z.
The woman snorted . "Yeah. I don't like it. It needs some tweaking"
" I don't particularly like it either " said Z. "I'm just here to get revenge on Tokimi for rejecting me"
"Without your powers?" asked the woman.
" I have been gathering objects known as Dragon balls that can give my powers back to me " said Z. "Zamasu is too busy gathering super dragon balls to notice what I'm doing"
The distorted image of the woman nodded. "He's too arrogant for his own good. So, who did wished for him back to life?"
" He's being tight -lipped about it" said Z.
"Playing it close to the chest, eh?"
"Guess so" said Z. "Say, here's an idea. You once told me that you once corrupted a god. Couldn't you do that to Tokimi?"
" I already did that years ago" said the woman dismissively. "And, anyway, it took me several thousand years to corrupt that version of Tokimi"
"That version?" asked Z with a raised eyebrow.
The woman let out a laugh that turned deranged. The deranged laughter seemed to clear up the distortion on the screen. The laughter continued on, getting more deranged. The distorted screen cleared to reveal a woman with pink hair with long pigtails on either side of her head. In her hand was an open cellphone.
"That was such a laugh!" cackled Yuno Gasai. " You should've seen it! Tokimi was absolutely mad with power! It was hilarious. Pity it ended the way it did"
"Intriguing" said Z. " Do you mean there are other versions of gods? "
Yuno snickered but said nothing.

After sharing a brief word with the one who smashed up her vespa, Haruko decided it was time for a shower. She had been tempted to smash the young demigod right then and there but she had allowed him to have his meal. That Ash Ketchum was gonna pay after his meal....him and his two friends.
There were shower rooms in the office of The Consortium. So Haruko and Naota had gone to the office. The pair entered the pool room in time to hear someone say, "What do you mean you can't send us back into heaven?!"
The speaker had been a blond-haired woman standing next to another woman wearing gothic clothing . The two were talking with Washu.
"I'm not the god who banished you from heaven" said Washu. " There's a divine seal around you two that prevents me from sending you back. You need permission from the same God who banished you in the first place. Which god banished you? "
"The White God" said Panty.
" He was always a stickler for the rules" said Washu.
"White God?" asked Naota.
"It's what we call the Christian god" said Washu.
Haruko smirked and continued her way to a shower room.
