12: Anger of the Plague God

Chāpu's body felt like it was being swished around by a knife when he was transported to Olympus. His wristband glowed a golden aura repetitively and stopped. Chāpu had materialized on Olympus' white-marble halls.

"Chāpu? What are you here for?"

Chāpu turned around to meet the pale face of Hades. "I'm just...here. Is father at Olympus?" He queried to his granduncle.

"No actually, I haven't seen him here. Only a few times have I spotted him, but they weren't recent," Hades gave an earnest answer.

"Oh," Chāpu became disappointed, "I see...thank you." He then began to walk around the beautiful white halls of the gods, leaving Hades.

A huge arch sneaked upon his vision. A pale girl with red hair stood beside it with dull eyes.

"Zeus cannot see you right now, for he is planning out a meeting," The girl spoke with no intention of emotion.

"I see," Chāpu commented, "You are a nymph, right? Of what breed?"

The girl smiled. "I am. You've got a good eye. What nymph do you think I am?" She asked back.

Chāpu returned her smile, answering fully, "Dryad." He was confident in his answer.

The girl beamed brightly, "Yes! That's correct, great job." She praised Chāpu.

"Thanks," Chāpu spoke softly, continuing, "How long do you think Zeus will be?"

"A mere fifty-three seconds," The dryad answered. "I will stamp your hand now and you shall wait," She explained, taking his hand and pressing on it harshly.

"Thanks," Chāpu responded, waiting in front of the huge door. It felt awkward for a few seconds that he was just standing there waiting for the door to open, but he didn't really mind it. Chāpu's ears twitched in response when the door opened, a man coming out. His hair was as black as a rain-shot sky with an exception of the side-bangs, and inside of his hair white, eyes silver like the edge of a dagger. His attire consisted of black skinny jeans with grey boots, and finally a grey leather jacket. Beside the man's side was a black wolf that had orange eyes and perched on his shoulder was a silver fox, its pelt a fine grey with black paws and ears. The eyes on the fox were a lime green. 

Chāpu was astounded by the man's goth elegance and beauty. No homo.

The man noticed Chāpu's weird stare. It was making him uncomfortable. 

"What do you want, kid?" He queried, stopping in his path. 

Chāpu shook his head. "Nothing, sorry." He shot his head down and attempted to walk past the god to stand coer to the door, however, the god didn't think otherwise. He grabbed Chāpu's shoulder, making Chāpu stop briefly. The god then peered down right into Chāpu's face, giving him a frightful thought.

"Are you from Japan?" The god asked with a smile on his face.

Chāpu nodded. "Um, yes, I am," Sweat dripped down his face. He was in an awkward position right now.

The god grinned, blush traveling over his cheeks. "So then you know what doujinshi is, right?"

Chāpu hesitated to respond. The god was being creepy. "Well yes, I do."

The god clapped his hands together, obviously thrilled. "That is awesome! I really like reading doujinshi, and I've tried to draw some myself too."

Chāpu was confused. Why was the god talking to him again? 

"Cool," Was really all  Chāpu could say for now, albeit he decided to carry out the conversation a little longer, "Then do you like hent-"

"Chāpu!" The familiar voice of Kobu rang out.
