From: Anon

I've been wondering, is there any kind of stigma against a god and shinki flirting, or even dating? Not just any god and shinki, but like... a partnered pair. Or is that too weird, is it like getting hit on by your boss or something?

The whole 'god and weapon' relationship is still strange for me, and I'm trying to wrap my head around it, but I might be holding a torch for my partner. I'd just like to know if it's something I should pursue, or if I should attempt to put it down.

[He thinks that's probably enough for the question, mostly since he doesn't want to be found out, nor does he want to accidentally say something about their past and mess up everything.]

[Dio is standing outside his temple in the jungle near his waterfall, looking as smug as ever.]

Come and get me then, fuckhead. It's been awhile since I've gotten to kick some snot-nosed brat's ass.

And don't expect me to go easy on you just because you're fragile. I'll be cleaning your blood off of my rocks for weeks.

[Hibari had never paid enough attention or cared enough to figure out that videos could be sent as replies, but now that didn't matter because he had a target for all of his incredibly bored ire.

Because goddammit, no one called him fragile or snot-nosed.

He also wasn't giving a warning when he finally happened upon the asshole god's temple, since even Hibari could sense this guy knew how to fight. He lighted down upon a tree branch, a spiked chain suddenly shooting out from his tonfa to try and pierce Dio's chest.]

[Honestly, Dio didn't care whether or not he could fought, because even in this world of gods, those who could stop time were still few and far between.

Still, he was something like sportsmanlike, so he figured he'd let the man think he had a chance, first. While taunting him of course.

The spilled weapon flew at him, Dio quickly turning his body so that it wouldn't hit him directly in the chest, though it grazed him, spiked treating into his skin.]

You've got to use a weapon? How quaint.

The body is a weapon. Or are you afraid of taking me on unarmed?

[Hibari pushed off of the tree he was on, crossing the gap much faster than a human teenager should be able to, retracting the chain as he moved forward and attempted to bash this stupid looking man's head in with his now spiked tonfa.]

More like I'm afraid of what it means for you.

[No one who attacked him with a weapon had ever given him much trouble... except Jonathan, back before he had a Stand. Speaking of which, Dio called his Stand out as the teen rushed for him, the ghostly, golden humanoid only appearing visibly for a split second before Dio stopped time.

Well, he had said he wouldn't hold back. He warned him, so he couldn't feel bad about doing that.

Before his time was up, Dio was kind enough not to punch a hole in his chest, but not kind enough to refrain from giving him a good hard smack to the side of his head, then moving out of the way, and up into one of the trees.]

I mean, I have said I wouldn't kill anyone without good cause, but if you're unable to even take someone on without a weapon... Will you even give me a good fight?

[Hibari was attacking the large asshole and something strange suddenly happened. It was like everything, including him had jumped; shifted through space too fast for him to see it.

The blow to the side of his head made the shinki stumble sideways before he caught himself with a hand, whirling around when he heard the same mocking voice.]

What the hell did you do?

[It wasn't teleporting. There weren't any visual clues the guy left for that, and it just felt off. Hibari's eyes bored straight into him, clearly ignoring the taunt about weapons. His tonfas were much a part of him as his arms.

But for him to have a chance, Hibari was going to have to figure out what exactly this guy did. Releasing the chain from his tonfa, he coated it in cloud flames, spinning it around until it extended further, further, in a huge net around him. Roll may have been helping keep the whole thing in place, but he didn't need to show all his tricks to this guy yet.

So he took the chain in his other tonfa and shot it straight at Dio to see what he would do.]

[Dio laughed at the question.]

If I told you, it wouldn't be as fun.

[For Dio, at least. Part of the fun was trying to get other people to guess what he was doing. But oh boy. This trick again, hm? Well, it seems that last time he had been found out pretty easily when he had been enough of a showboat to destroy every line around him, so he had to think harder this time.

He growled as that chain coming at him meant a need for another time stop.]

THE WORLD!!!

[God, but how to get out of this? with flames all around, and some of the chain coming right for him. In order to attempt to throw it off course, Dio placed a stone before the projectile, but he'd have to get out of the way too, in case it didn't work.

With only a second or two remaining, Dio took his cat form, attempting to use that form to find some safe ground. He couldn't get far with only a second or two to spare, but it should move him out of immediate danger.]

[Just like he thought, it happened again. There was everything normal, and then all of a sudden everything just 'shifted' and snapped into place just a moment later. The chain smashed into a rock, and Hibari drew it back growling under his breath. He'd put the protection up, but the man must've seen what he was doing and just ran away or something.

The chains had at least fallen back to the ground in their normal length, but his tonfas were still up until he verified there was no more threat.]

Cheater. That isn't teleporting. He's messing with space or something.

[Hibari was just going to go searching for his 'prey' when he spotted a cat near where the guy had vanished. That was curious. Was it a pet cat like his own that had gotten left behind? Hibari approached it.]

[Yes, that did it. Dio would smirk if he currently had the correct lip musculature for such an expression.

When he noticed he was being followed, he spun around, surprisingly gracefully for only getting access to this form a week or so ago.]

Clever boy. Not correct, but clever nonetheless. [He wasn't going to run right now, though. Let him draw his weapons again if he wished it. Dio was more than prepared to continue the fight if he had to. Or run, really. It wasn't as if finding out he stopped time would allow him to move in the stopped time.]

And it isn't cheating. It's one of my abilities. Why should I handicap myself?

Breaking the laws of physics is cheating.

[If one knew Hibari well, they would almost say that he was sulking at such an unfair move against him. However to most, he just looked angry as normal. For him, a real fight was one where the opponent didn't use cheap tactics to run away.

But that was just his opinion.

And now his opponent...was a cat? A talking cat? And a very cute one.

This was the most frustrating part. As much as he convinced himself that this cat was his enemy, he couldn't attack it, not while it looked so harmless. Hibari believed himself as being someone with a healthy respect of nature and frown on any who didn't give him and it the proper respect.

And because of that, now all he really wanted to do was pet the Dio cat. He didn't put the tonfa away, but he looked like much less on the warpath then before.]

Enough small talk.

I'm not breaking the laws of anything. Time isn't physics to begin with. It is just the plane in which physics travel through.

[And Dio the cat was alright with looking cute. He was going to keep an eye on the guy, but he wasn't changing into anything else to continue fighting him.]

It's not my fault if you are bound by it. You are fighting a God, remember that. [And if Dio's research was correct, a rather important god at that. Not that he didn't think of himself as a god before all of this, but having someone give him the title on their own certainly helped to legitimize it.

A shame he didn't have his personal Heaven yet, but all things in due time.

And now he was just going to lie down and roll over in as cute of a manner as he could muster. After all, even if he was very cute right now, he had nothing to worry about. He could still shoot lasers from his eyes, stop time, and summon The World if he needed to.]

You aren't a real, just some soul dragged in to do the job of one. And even if you were...I don't believe in you.

[He was more than a little disillusioned, not only by the force of his leftover personality, but by the environment here. Gods here did very ungodly things and were far weaker than a holy person would be thought of to be.

But when the cat rolled over, Hibari's hand twitched. Not because of the tonfa, but because the soft fluffy belly looked very inviting. He'd have to be strong; there was no way he was petting an enemy. His hand twitched again.]

[Dio was fully content to continue on like he was, though he noted the twitch in the boy's hand, and he just streeeetched out in return. He'll do something at some point, and Dio would respond in kind when he needed to.]

I was a God before this. And I'll continue to be after this world is gone.

[Who ever said all gods were good? Silly Hibari. Dio was fully aware of his position as a less-than-good god.]

And honestly, it's funny how you think someone not believing in something makes it not real. After all, most people don't believe in vampires or zombies. [Silly fools. He wondered for a moment how people here would handle a zombie outbreak. Could be fun.]

I don't care if it makes you real or not. All it does is cease any power you have over me.

[And that was one thing he wouldn't allow. No god would lay claim over his life and his beliefs; they were things he held alone. And he knew perfectly well the world held less than savory gods, as he'd met very many of them.]

Think of yourself a god all you want, it changes nothing for me.

[Except he was gonna....reach out and scratch at the kitty's stomach.......]

[You say he has no power over you, but yet here you are, petting him. That's definitely an amount of power. And amount that Dio could get used to.]

No, I am not your god, and I've no interest in claiming power over those who do not give it willingly. [For now, anyway. He did still have his flesh buds, after all, he'd just learned a little bit about morality. Only a little, though.]

That wasn't what I was getting at, anyway. [He was just warning him that gods could break time and space a little. Mostly time, for Dio. Unless all of this garbage had come from also breaking space as an unfortunate side-effect.]

[Petting a cat was completely different than letting someone control you, and Hibari would fight that point to the death. It didn't help the cute cat had very soft fur and he still looked like he ate a lemon as he stroked it.]

Then make your point. I have no time for your ridiculous attempts at mind games.

It's not a mind game to say that gods have powers, is it? [Boy, the kid could be cute if he wasn't so contrary. Silly thing. Dio didn't mind the sour face though, as long as the hands were still petting him. They were lovely.]

And despite what people may tell you, not believing in me doesn't stop that.

I have powers too and yet, I am not a god by this world's standards. I suspect I am not by my own's either, but just because you are strong does not make you a god.

[It was actually something Hibari had been mulling over a lot in his head lately; he felt as if it were an important question even before he lost his memories. The cat's fur was still just as soft and he buried his hand into it, even if the expreession never lost its sourness.]

Therefore, the only thing that sets apart a god from a human is if someone believes you are a god. I do not, and therefore you are no god to me.

Hrm... [Dio rolled over back onto his stomach, looking up at Hibari and flicking his tail a little.]

I see your point, though I don't agree with it. [He didn't have any further argument that would convince him, though, so he wouldn't attempt it. Dio was happy to reach a point of agreeing to disagree once his argument ran out of points.]

The fact remains that it's not cheating to use your powers though. If one is allowed, they all should be, right? Just handicapping me doesn't prove your strength, after all. I was defeated twice by mere humans, and one of them was even without powers, so it isn't as if it cannot be done.
