Why was there no chapter yesterday? I finally got a decent night of sleep that's why!
I have decided to start to slowly (and I mean glacial) go back and try my best at editing my old chapters. The reason I haven't until this point is because well in my head so long as you get the story it shouldn't matter. Not like I am being paid for this. So taking my time is a given. Hopefully I can avoid the grammar police a little longer.
But we all know what my "best" is so don't get any hopes up. To those of you new guys who find this hard to read ask any of the people how bad the chapters were originally. No seriously people who have been here from the start put up some examples.
To those of you who say this is not the attitude of a pro well heres the thing I am not.
This is my hobby.

Ash
Seeing the sphere fly at the girls I condescend ice and darkness to form a sledgehammer and shot forward. I swung the hammer into the side of the sphere with all I had. My hope was that I could send the sphere in another direction and it worked.
My hammer was halfway eaten but I managed to divert the sphere. It shot off into the night straight at Mega tower.
.......
Well they won't know it was me right? Meh.
I turn to look at the girls including Ciar. They were trading hostile gazes.
"Well I hope everyone has said their hellos." I say breaking the silence.
"Ash what the hell is that mutt!?" Inari asks.
I walk forward and scoop up my growling pup. I start petting her and get ready to answer but Ciar beats me to the punch.
"Mutt!? How dare some stupid fox, no offense master, call me a MUTT!" I could feel Ciar trying to take some of my power and launch another sphere.
If I didn't know the ice darkness fusion from Ice using it to seal Abyss the girls may have taken that last hit and I don't think I will be fast enough to form another one while holding Ciar. This needed to end now.
"Okay first things first do not call my awesome pup a mutt. She is as I said awesome, oh and the daughter of Cerberus and Fenris so yea there's that too." I tell everyone.
"The daughter of.." Alita says then her eyes widen. "They only had one daughter in their litter and she disappeared 20 years ago! How in heaven did you manage to get her and why is she still a puppy!?" She is shouting toward the end.
"Oh you know the usual went on a trip, ended up in the middle of an ancient evil ritual, killed the occultists, saved the pup from being a sacrifice, and then came home. It was storybook-worthy really." I say casually and walk over to one of deck chairs and take a seat.
I kick my feet up on an expensive table and lie back. I am in a word exhausted. Sure I am glad the girls are back but after my week dealing with more shit is just not on the table right now.
"Ash I think we are going to need a little more than that." Alita says and the two get out of the hot tub.
I glance over and have to shift Ciar from my lap to my chest. The girls were wearing bikinis and nothing else. I saw them that one time with their clothes ripped off back when we met but now I am reminded just how amazing they look. Doesn't hurt that they are badass on top of being beautiful.
Both of the swimsuits the girls had were simple one was white the other was gold guess which had which. It didn't matter that they were plain the sight I was given helped my exhaustion immensly. Still won't move for a few but damn if that didn't help with easing my heart about the lost reward from earlier.
"Girls while I am overjoyed at seeing you again especially with so little clothing right now I just need a break I will explain *Yawn* everything later." After saying that I blacked out. I probably could've stopped it but I really needed a nap.

Ciar
Watching my Master fall asleep I turn to the two who intruded in my masters home.
"Master is really tired so you two can leave now." I tell the angel and kitsune.
Both of them raise their eyes at that and share a look. The kitsune saunters up and sits in the chair that is next to ours. The angel sits on the other side.
Did master pick this spot on purpose?
"Look kid we can tell he is tired. Trust us on this he would never fall asleep like that unless he was at his limit. Plus he hasn't been home in a week and doesn't even play his video games first? Something a lot bigger must have happened than he let on so if you can fill us in on what he has been up to?" The kitsune asks me.
The angel was staring at master in concern. Which I don't understand I am more than enough protection. No one will harm my master while he sleeps.
"Master said he will tell you later and so you will find out later!" I tell the two firmly. Then I lay down on my masters chest and get comfortable with the rise and fall of his chest.
The two share another look and frown. "Okay then care to tell us why a God albeit an extremely young one is calling a mortal master?" The angel asks.
I snort at her. " Master mortal? That is amusing. He has the bloodlines of Seraphim, kitsune, God, and human. The human at this point is so low its negligible. As for the rest can you honestly call that mortal? He will be someone of absolute importance one day. As to why I call him master? Well it's hard to explain ever since I initiated the blood contract I felt like this man is the only one worthy to call my master. Not Hades, not Loki, nor any of my relatives. Just him and him alone."
"You did a blood contract with him!?" The two say in unison.
I feel master twitch in his and mumble something about the "Shining". I recall how he always shivered when those two annoying twins would speak. Master must not like it when people do so.
"Would you two not speak in unison? It disturbs my master. And yes we did a blood contract. I was so weak I couldn't even speak properly with his blood I was able to reach the peak of my age in a few days." I scold the two then give master a comforting lick on the cheek. He settles down.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"You do know your parents will not stand for you being with him right?" The angel says.
"It is not their choice on who my master is! I am not some simple little dog who is chosen at random to serve some worthless fool! I am the daughter of two powerful beings in the known pantheons! I have chosen my master and when the time comes I will choose my own mate as well!" I growled at the two.
Both of them flinched back when they noticed I was covered in silver flames. Masters shirt had holes in it but he was fine as the blood contract protects us from each others powers.
"Those flames. They carry the absolute destruction property!" The kitsune says.
"Of course, they are unique to me. No one else can use them. They are the true combination of both my mothers abilities and my fathers." I say proudly.
"Incredible! I had heard the stories of your birth but to see the real thing in person! Once you are older all being would have to take you seriously even your parents." The angel says.
Both of the women stare at me. But eventually shake their heads coming to some unspoken decision. Then the kitsune speaks up again.
"Well since you wont fill us in as to what Ash has been up to at least tell us you told him about the dangers of being your master holds?"
"Well. There hasn't been much time..." I look away from the two.
"You totally neglected to tell him didn't you!" They roar. Master twitches again and sweak starts down his face.
I give the two an annoyed look and comfort him again. The girls share a worried look.
"Um daughter of-
"It's Ciar. Master gave me the name and I like it."
"Right Ciar, Alita and Inari by the way. We are connected to Ash and he seems to be having some really bad dreams. Please tell us what happened." Alita begs me.
I look at master with worry. "I am sorry but no. If master wants to tell you he will. For now try not to speak in unison as that doesn't help."
Both women look a little agitated at my reply but I just stare them down daring them to try me. They bite back whatever they were going to say.
"At least let us carry him inside it is going to rain soon. Although it does smell like he needs a shower." Inari says. Wrinkling her nose.
I nod at her but make no move to leave his chest. She just shrugs and picks master up and throws him over her should. Do to which I end up flying into the water they were just in. I emerge from the water and glare at her. She smirks and carries master inside shutting the door behind her.
"So you want to play fox? That's fine we can play!" I say with dark joy.

Ash
I wake up to the sound of my buzzer. My security guys are finally back with my food.
"Alright Ciar now to teach you the- WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY APARTMENT!?"
I look around and the place is a mess. Broken bottles from the bar lay around broken furniture. My couch which I am pretty sure was a few hundred grand was shredded and a sphere sized hole was missing from it. The glass doors that lead to the hot tub and deck were shattered.
Panic gripped me and I sped over to my tv and game systems. After checking over everything I sighed in relief. Then my gaze went dark. Turning around I power up and march into the bathroom where the girls were wrestling with Ciar apparently trying to give her a bath. Still in their swimsuits unfortunately.
Ciar was letting out curses and shooting black and silver flames at the two. Seeing me Ciar dives through a shadow and lands on my head. My bathroom. Which was absolutely amazing with the hot tub sized bath and rain shower was in ruins. I even had that awesome toliet that sprays your ass after you go and it was shattered.
"Girls." My voice was darkly calm.
"Clean all this up. Before you say anything yes I know you can kick my ass but you a nine-tailed fox and an Arch-Angel have been fighting with a puppy. I have cameras all over my house so if you don't want that getting out I suggest you clean all this up." With that I turned and went to get my Taco bell.
The girls didn't answer they just glared at the smirking pup on my head.
"Pup."
"Yes master." She says with joy and I can feel her little tail wag.
"Next time you get in trouble as well."
She went quiet and her tail stopped wagging. "But master!"
"No buts! Do you know how much money it is going to take to replace all of this!? Plus those two are incredibly important to me so you need to get along understood? No more shooting spheres of death at them."
I feel a wave of power rush out and the apartment flashes then everything looks like normal.
I raise an eye and look around. "Well damn being an Arch-Angel has its perks huh?"
"So we are "incredibly" important to you huh?" I turn to see a smirking Inari.
I shake my head and go to my door. I give the security some money and tell them I won't need anything else. I walk to the couch minus the whole it had now and place the food on the table.
"Okay pup first we start with five-layers then we move on to the grilled!"
"Hey where is ours!" Alita and Inari shout.
Tch. Forgot those two picked up on my eating habit as well. Man now I can probably only eat 30$ worth of taco bell this bites.
"Sit down and grab a burrito. I am teaching Ciar the pleasures of being me."
"Ash please don't ruin possibly the strongest God Dog ever born." Alita looks at me with pleading eyes.
I look seriously offended at her remark. "I am culturing her! She will be awesome! She will be crushing noobs and extorting business men soon you mark my words!"
Alita and Inari let out a sigh. While I let out a smile. It's only been a week but damn if I didn't miss them. Our little family dinner here made this the best damn Taco Bell in the world. Oh and the fact the girls were still in swim suits totally had nothing to do with it.
