11. Daisuke

That the fat little witch had been able to banish him back to the celestial realm, even temporarily came as a surprise to Daisuke. Not only was it a shock, but an insult.

Who the fuck did she think she was? Casting him back to the heavens like some irritating spirit. He was a fucking spirit warrior, chosen servant of the Goddess herself. The witch should have some fucking respect for that if nothing else.

Daisuke, said a warm voice in his mind, instantly calming him. Why have you returned to me so soon? Your journey is not complete.

Ah, fuck. This was going to sound a lot worse than it really was.

Glad he had at least appeared in his ceremonial robes, he sank to his knees and lowered his forehead to the ground. Of course, there was nothing there, and he was more mist than real, but it was the thought that counted. This was his Goddess, the one who created him. He owed her everything, and it was his honour to serve her.

I had a disagreement with my host, Your Graciousness, a witch observed it and banished me temporarily. I will be able to return soon, he told her.

Daisuke, she chided. You cannot hide things from me. The story between your words screams out in denial. Tell me everything.

Yep, this was not going to go down well. Damn that whiny little fox.

With little choice, he laid out the argument he’d had, filling in more detail when she asked for it.

This seems a dramatic response, although I am not happy with how you have treated your fated mate. She is a gift to you from me, a reward for your loyalty. Does my favour mean so little to you that you would treat her thus?

But she’s mine! Daisuke argued, hating the small whine that had crept into his mental voice. She won’t admit it, but she’s mine.

Dark eyes framed by a face as white as the moon, glared at him. She is not a toy to play with, nor an object to possess. I gave you the gift of being called to each other. I did not take away her free will. I fear that I have kept you too long in the celestial realm. Perhaps when this task is finished, I should send you to live in a body of your own, allow you to live and grow and have a greater understanding of relationships. Your spirit seems to be greatly lacking in empathy.

Her last comment was the one that hurt the most. It wasn’t censure, simply a statement of fact, but to him, it was as good as a condemnation. His Goddess found him lacking. The shame of it threatened to crush him.

Your host has asked me to confine you to a vessel. I think that it is prudent. It will allow you to better observe how he interacts with others, for I fear that you have been too forceful in his upbringing. He was not a submissive fox when I created him.
