Goddess AU; Love Live

Rated T (13+)

The goddess of water sighed deeply, eying her other partners for guidance. Her emerald green eyes refelected perfectly, almost abnormally perfect, against the pool of clear, pure water- her majestic, deep purple hair cascading to the liquid, wetting its ends. Nozomi gazed into the spot of water, trying to find the answers to the problem she was facing. Rin noticed her distress, and strutted to Nozomi rather quickly, resting her hand on her shoulder.

"What's wrong, Nozomi?" she asked brightly, despite the concern that was lacing the phrase she had spoken. Nozomi smiled at the wind goddess, despite her troubles. She gently lifted Rin's hand from her shoulder, and cupped her cheek with her own hand.

"Don't worry about it, Rin."

Rin's eyes narrowed, but she nodded, and started to turn around. Suddenly Nozomi spoke up once again, startling Rin.

"Find Umi for me, will you?"

Rin nodded again, cheerful once more. She pranced off, and Nozomi heard her call Umi's name once or twice. Nozomi smiled absently. She often thought of Rin like a child, sweetly naive and trusting. She wished that she could be more like the controller of the wind. Nozomi's grin melted into a frown when she had a sudden thought. If she's merely a child, that also means we have to keep unnecessary burdens off her mind...

And then Umi was there, ready to be consulted.

"Umi..."

"Nozomi, what is it?"

Nozomi took a deep breath and looked at Umi with a sincerity she couldn't describe. She looked down, then back at the goddess of earth.

"There's a mortal that can see us."
