Chapter 16
A Mother's Problem
The wind whispered of his mother's knowledge to his most recent actions, warning him that he was to return home or face her wrath. The chilling feeling that the warning held was what made his wings pump more furiously to reach his goal faster.
He had left the few ningen and youkai he had toyed with before any of them had left the clearing. He knew it was a long journey home and knew not to waist time, his mother raised him with a strict but loving hand and he knew better than to cross her when she was angry. Cupid may have been 200 years old, but he still held the mindset of a ten year old. He knew his mother would not be happy when he left the castle, but he could not help himself. He had not released an arrow in two years and the pent up energy was wearing him thin and he needed to expel it somehow; didn't she understand?
No she probably did not understand after all she was a goddess filled with neutral energies; the powers of love. His blood however was made of two fighting energies; that of light and of darkness. His father was the god of war Mars, his mother was the goddess of Love Venus it would make sense that the warring energies inside of himself will need an outlet. He did not do it often, normally he had no need to as his mother was after all a very jealous woman. She often sent him on missions to use his arrows on overtly beautiful mortal women, when even one woman was to known for her beauty he was sent to make sure she fell an love with an oaf.
'So mother has no right to complain so much!' he thought trying to make excuses for his actions.
It did not take Cupid very long to reach his home as the silhouette of the white castle came into his view. He did not get out much but when he did he missed his home dearly, maybe it was a result of never having before felt true freedom. It was something he feared he would never know.
"CUPID, you had better have a good explanation for where you went boy!" Venus bellowed from the entrance of the castle. She was really a sight to behold in all her angered glory, her eyes flashing dangerously while a cloudy look came over her eyes resembling that of a thunder storm.
Cupid landed a good distance away from his mother and bowed to her knowing how angry she was "Mother I am sorry, but I had to." he said softly his bangs shadowing his eyes as he peered up to her through his lashes.
"Had to? Had to what exactly? You know what happened the last time you 'had to' do something!" she said crossing her hands over her chest taking an annoyed motherly stance.
"Mother my energies where wearing me thin I needed to do something to use them up. I did go far away so as not to bother you." he told her hopping to appease her anger.
It did not, that comment only served to anger her more "You went elsewhere?! You say you do not want to be a bother but you go somewhere my powers are not able to reach? We rule over Rome, just like my counterpart rules over Greece. Where did you go Boy?" his mother asked in a low and angered tone.
"Japan." the guilty voice of Cupid sounded to his mother as her face stilled with her overflowing anger.
"JAPAN!! You mean to say you flew all the way to JAPAN! NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE GODDESS OF LOVE BENZAITEN. Do you have any idea the trouble you just caused Cupid?" she asked the question with false calm while looking at her son.
"No mother I am sorry." he said in a defeated tone, his mother never yells how bad could this Benzaiten really be? He had a feeling he was about to find out.
"No well let me tell you, the Japanese gods and goddesses do not allow their children free rein over the lands as we do here and in Greece. In Japan the Females and Children are seen but not heard! The goddess Benzaiten is not a very pleasant goddess of Love; you could have very well started a war amongst the gods! You had better pray that you did not effect anyone to important the fates had set up for their people." she told him before she turned and stormed off. Before she was out of site her voice was heard again "I have to go and fix your mistakes yet again Cupid, this every well be the last time or I will no longer protect you from the wrath of the other deities."
The threat was clear to Cupid just what she meant, he knew the problems but when he caused it he could not bring himself to care. Picking himself up off the stairs he was bowing at he walked into the castle to retire for the night.

The morning came fast and the castle was booming with servants preparing for the departure of the goddess. The goddess herself was within her treasure room, it was a custom when entering the regions of another gods rule to enter baring gifts. It was fairly simple for her to decide what she would give the goddess. She would give her something that was unattainable where she ruled, she would give the goddess a good size portion of the famed Ambrosia.
Ambrosia is the food of the gods in Rome and also in Greece, it would grant immortality on whoever consumes it. She would need to warn the goddess though, that it cannot be given to a mortal that has already been gifted with power from a god, such as priests or priestesses because it will turn that being into a god. It is a dangerous gift to give, but it was a large mess her son had made. It may have been the only thing she had that would appease the goddess, she knew not what Benzaiten was interested in.
With the Ambrosia in hand she whispered an incantation only known to gods, she knew her servants would send the supplies she would need later.
Her travels to the heavens of Japan had begun.
