Susanoo-No-Mikoto was many things.

He was the youngest of the three chief deities of the Shinto, He was a god of Sea and Storms, of Marriage and Love, a child of Izanagi and Izanami, a warrior, a hero, a brother, and a father.

But most importantly, he did not know how to take care of children.

Especially if they were unconscious.

And looking at the child he decided to take as an apprentice, The god masquerading as Koto Sano couldn't help but sigh at the thought that, maybe if he was there for his child all those years ago, maybe he would have known what to do.

"Ummm, Susanoo-Sama, I apologize again, but Queen Cliodhna is waiting for you in your office, and I don't know if- EEK!" The hairy ape-like creature cried as the god of the sea turned to glare at it.

"You," He started saying, causing the fur-covered Yokai to shiver in fright, "Get someone to take care of this child, give him an introductory tour of the building, and then meet me at twelve in the gardens," The god started walking to one of the elevators of the building, intent on fixing the mess that was caused in his absence.

"I- YES! SUSANOO-SAMA!!!" The yokai screamed as it bowed its head, its tears staining the fur on its face.

"Make sure that you do," Susanoo said, and the Elevator doors closed, leaving the unconscious boy on the floor of the lobby of the supernatural headquarters.

Opening my eyes, I found myself laying on my back, my head resting against something soft, and the sound of a television channel being played in my ears.

"Oh No! With Levi-Tan captured by the clutches of the evil Rock Demon, what will she do?!" The show was then interrupted by a commercial trying to sell a vacuum cleaner that can banish sprites and pixies.

Whatever those were.

Trying to stand up, I see that I am on a couch, my head was being rested on a pillow, and the television was hanging from the wall like what you'd see in a waiting room for a doctor's appointment.

"What happened?" I try and remembered where I was.

I was picked up by Sano-san earlier this morning to get to my apprenticeship at Shin-Corp, so I am currently at their Tokyo headquarters.

What else do I remember?

There was this Sasquatch-looking dude calling Sano-san, Susanoo-Sama...

"Took ya long enough, Little Hero," And eyes of crackling lightning, yep! Now I remember.

I blacked out.

SHIT! I BLACKED OUT!

"I see you're awake," A deep voice interrupted my spiraling train of thought, turning to look at who made that noise, I found myself face to face with a small child.

A small child with a surprisingly deep voice, and a pair of brown wings.

I didn't say a word, too shocked to completely process what was happening.

"The Shinto gods are real," I whispered as I held my head.

"You're new to all this, right?" The child asked, nodding to themselves even though I haven't said anything.

"Follow me, I was told to give you a tour of the place," They grabbed my hand, and with a surprising show of strength, lifted me from the couch and started carrying me on their back.
