The Goddess of Bad Luck (Pit x Reader x Dark Pit) (Under Editing!!)

7) A Dark Angel and Darker Information

Lady Palutena teleported us back to the temple, transported by a glowing, heavenly light. I squinted to see what was beyond, and was met by Lady Palutena, eager to hear about our adventures. "I was so busy doing Pit's job all afternoon. Checking in with all the centurions is harder than it seems."

"So, you weren't watching us in your office?" I recalled when I watched Phosphora and Pit battle from the floating screen with Lady Palutena who seemed to be controlling his movements.

"Not this time. I usually go helicopter parent on Pit when he's flying," Lady Palutena clarified. She was about to continue when Pit gave her a look, he thought I didn't notice.

Pit spoke up. "We found (Y/n)'s cat, Lady Palutena! Isn't he a cutie?"

"Yep, that's my cat!" I nodded as Pit continued to cuddle it in his arms. "Got him a few years ago with my friend Kari."

"How adorable!" Lady Palutena gushed. "What's its name again?"

I froze, forgetting the random name I gave the "cat I never had." Looking to the cat, I noted its blue patch of fur on its forehead once again. In a moment of unoriginality, I told her, "his name is Blue."

"Really?" Pit asked. "That's not very creative."

I bit my tongue, relieved he bought the lie. I wanted to rebuttal his remark with a comment about his own name, but I decided that picking on immortals would probably be the end for me. "I know, but my friend Kari named him."

When I said that, Deja Vu hit me in the gut, and the weight on my back started to weigh me down. The box at the bottom of my bag seemed heavier than before.

Lady Palutena's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "I think Blue is a fitting name! Ooh, I need to order cat food then! Pit, give Blue to (Y/n)."

"Fiiiiiine. Here you go (Y/n)," he handed me the cat, looking sad as Lady Palutena forced him to part ways with Blue.

In spite of his pouting, I smiled. All his facial expressions were funny. Just by looking at him, you could tell what was going through the angel's head. "Hey, do you want to come hang out with him and me in my room?"

If I was being honest, I would have just ran off to go hide in my room to shake the weird aura hanging over me. But I just couldn't stand to see Pit that sad.

"Yes! Yes! Let's go!" his eyes lit up.

Then we went to my room, where I rushed to the bathroom to find something to tidy up the cat in his disheveled state. Pit found me staring over the edge of the bathtub filled with glowing water. "Pit, is this water going to kill me?"

"What? Of course not! Have you never heard of hot springs???" he asked, shocked. "They are the best things ever!"

"On earth, people die from soaking in water that hot. But sense you are immortal..." I said a bit abruptly and backed off when I realized that Pit was super confused.

"In the world of the gods, it actually replenishes health and gives us energy," Pit informed me.

And that's when the ground started to shake, with a calling card of a voice saying, "Oh, Palutena! I've come for your pet human!"

"Pit! Was that-"

"Viridi!?" He finished my sentence as Lady Palutena spoke to us through the laurel crowns.

"Pit, get out there! Researching for Blue's new diet will have to wait," she said before giving me orders as well. "(Y/n), come to my office. I can't let you out of my sight."

And so, we were off in different directions. I finally managed to find Lady Palutena's office when Pit took off. I was still holding Blue in my arms. With all the centurions running around getting to their posts for emergencies, I didn't need this poor cat getting lost in the chaos.
