I am Artemis

1,000 Years

Kaori

"Steven! What the hell is this," he shrugged.

I sighed.

Imbecile. Why does no one take law seriously anymore. I am tired of his half ass work.

"You're fired. We don't half ass do our jobs when we are representing our clients. Get out." I gathered up his shitty paperwork.

"You can't fire me," he slammed his hands down on the desk, "I do good work! I deserve this! You're a woman! Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do?! You can't fire me!"

That's it, way too far. I stood up.

"I am not going to listen to the likes of some sexist pig. Get out or I will have security escort you out." I towered over him.

"Like hell." He went to swing at me

A hand stopped him.

"You heard the lady, get out before she presses charges." Steven looked at me.

I smirked at him. He looked angry. I didn't care.

"He's not going to leave willingly, please escort him out Eduardo," Steven was pulled away, "yes, Mrs. Didymos."

I smiled and got the files fixed. He didn't do anything. Gosh, I hate interns. Someone knocked. Now what? I looked up to see Eduardo. I smiled at him.

"Is everything alright?" He smiled.

"Someone had asked to see you Mrs. Didymos. A Mr. Parthenopaeus." My heart stopped.

So he finally found me. I wasn't surprised. I sighed.

"Let him in, please Eduardo." He nodded his head.

I took a deep breath. It had been a thousand years since I last saw Ash. I felt bad about not seeing him over the past thousand years. I haven't been to Artemis's temple since then either. I couldn't. It was better, in my opinion, to start fresh. Create a new temple. The door opened. I looked up to see Ash. His black hair with one red streak was pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a black suit with a red tie.

"Thank you Eduardo." He smiled at me and left.

I watched as Ash sat down. He looked as good as he did a thousand years ago.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Parthenopaeus?" I saw his eyebrow twitch above his sunglasses.

I wasn't surprised he was wearing them. I knew exactly why he wore them. He didn't say anything. I sighed.

"I have a very busy schedule Mr. Parthenopaeus. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what it is you need from Didymos Law." His eyebrow twitched again.

"Who are you?" I frowned.

"I'm Kaori Didymos, why?" He frowned.

"Where is Artemis?" I flinched.

He was getting angry. I felt his symbol begin to act up under my suit. It was no surprise, he wasn't sure I was actually Kaori. He had a suspicion at most that I was.

"Look, Mr. Parthenopaeus, if you don't have a reason for being here then I need you to leave." He stood up and slammed his hands on the desk.

Not again. He leaned forward and his sunglasses fell. I saw his swirling silver eyes. I bit the inside of my cheek. I never broke eye contact. I still didn't feel the pull of that curse from that stupid goddess.

"What do you want, Ash?" His eyes widened.

He pulled me into a hug. I didn't expect that.

"I'm so glad you're safe. I've looked for you for so long. I was afraid you died, or worse." I felt guilty.
