A/N: By the way, everything written in
cursive is spoken in japanese. And everything written normally is in english. (y/n) is a japanese Goddess, so she will also be thinking in japanese. Enjoy!
Your POV
"(y/n), Goddess of death and life, you have disobeyed the rules by bringing someone back from the dead who was condemned to death! What do you have to say for yourself!?", Amaterasu, the Goddess of the sun, shouted at me.
I was on my knees, in front of her, my nose touching the ground. I knew something like this was going to happen. But the embarrassment of having judgemental Gods stare and snicker at me, was less than enjoyable. I could basically hear their spiteful laughter and see the pity on some of their faces.
"My deepest apologies, but I was under the impression that the said yokai should not have died yet", I said putting all my courage into that one sentence. Oh, but how wrong I was in letting these words slide past my lips. For a split second the whole room was left silent, acknowledging the anger provided by the Goddess in front of me.
Shit.
-was all I could think of before she slapped me. I fell to the ground, my lip bleeding, regretting my life choices. From the corner of my eye I could see my familiar, pity and guilt in his eyes. His pure white fox ears were hanging low and his white, fluffy tail was wrapped around his leg in fear. I sent a small reassuring smile his way when our eyes met.
"How dare you talk back at me! I am the Goddess of the sun and universe! I live above you so don't you dare talk back at me! Do you not realize what everybody thinks of you? You are the lowest a God can fall", she once again shouted at me. I was definitely testing her patience and anger but so was she.
To be honest, I had enough of listening to her lies. The Goddess of the universe? stronger than me?! Don't make me laugh. All she is, is the Goddess of the sun, nothing less and nothing more. If only I could get rid of these damned bandages, I would have thrown her to the hells long ago.
I slowly stood up, wiping the blood from my lips. Looking up at her, I gave a dark smile. "Who do you think you are? I might not be popular, but at least I don't have to change my cultivation path's requirements weekly to adjust to my recent sins."
I heard whispers and giggles going around the room. Though I knew my actions were not the best choice, since she is quite powerful at the moment and I am still bound. I still don't get why six of our Gods left their power and duties up to her, to leave for vacation. They're making my eternal life as a Goddess even harder than it already is.
"So you see, I actually wanted to just let you pass with a small task as punishment for your wrong doings, but now a much harsher consequence awaits you.
Let's see... how about I'll take one of your eyes or maybe rip out your tongue so you will not talk back anymore", she said with a psychotic smirk. I looked at her unfazed. "Or what if I banish you to the mortal realm?", she suggested. I really did not care if she would rip out my eyeball, cut off my tongue, but stripping me of my title would put me in a predicament.
At that moment my familiar stepped in and cried:"Please spare her, I was the one who asked her to bring that boy back to life. I am the responsible one. So please punish me instead of her!" He bowed down, looking at the floor, hoping she would have mercy on me."My my, what a loyal familiar you have. What is your name fox?", she asked with a demanding voice. "Tadao", he said almost shouting. "Oh how fitting", she said mockingly.
"Tadao, what do you think you are doing?", I said with a deep intimidating voice."I-I'm sorry, I was just trying to help you...", he mumbled knowing, whatever he was planning, was not helping me at all. I sighed, looking up at the Goddess in front of me and asked:"What is your punishment Amaterasu?" At first she seemed surprised at my courage, but then a smirk washed over her face."You are not allowed to show your face at the after party tomorrow and I will strip you of any remaining magic or heavenly power for six months." I could feel my heart getting heavy, but still relieved that she did not rip out my wings or did anything to Tadao."Raijin!", she started, calling the God of Storms,"I want your winds to take her and her familiar somewhere to earth, it doesn't matter where. Now, hold still." She placed her hands on my forehead.
I felt a slight pain in my body before I felt completely numb. It was as if a portion of my life was being sucked out of me. I gripped my teeth at the new sensation, knowing I could not do anything about it.
Now before anything else happens, how about I explain this whole situation. My name is (y/n), I am 514 years old, which is quite young for a Goddess if I may say so. My mother was a hardworking Shinigami named Izanami. My father was the God of life, Izanagi. I guess Benzaiten, the Goddess of love, told me opposites attract each other. After I was born, my father decided to get himself a side chick, which made my mother furious. She went on a rampage, I am guessing you remember the plague. Even after that he would not listen, so she killed him as revenge. Soon after she was executed for murdering another God. Their love story was just not meant to be. And yet I survived. A mixture of both of them. After my initiating ritual Gods began to avoid me. I was simply too dangerous to get close to. After long discussions the council decided to have me wear these bandages to contain my powers, which now officially makes me the weakest, most useless Goddess in Heaven.
Enough about me. As you may already know, I have a fox yokai familiar named Tadao. A friend of his died while fighting another yokai. So Tadao begged me to awaken my powers and bring him back to life. And how could I ever say no to those adorable fox eyes. And here is where I broke a rule. If I were ever to pardon someone from death or revive them, they would have to be special or useful to the world in some sense. I brought Tadao's friend back to life despite my powers being sealed away and him being a very average person. And now here I am, being punished. But it was worth it. To see a smile on Tadao's face is enough for me to break that rule.
Amaterasu let go of me, as I fell to the ground feeling weak and exhausted. She smirked upon my state and motioned Raijin to send me off. He rolled his eyes at her, stood in front of me and Tadao and called his winds to take us away.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Your flying carriage will be sent to your shrine, so don't worry about that. Now goodbye, I'll see you next year!", she said with a faked smile. I glared at her and let the winds carry Tadao and me away.
