A/N: How's it going everyone? I'm back with another Loki/Yui fanfic and it feels great to write again! I've had a hard time coming up with an idea for another story but I think I finally got one. I'm so in love with the Yui/Loki pairing I just feel the need to write it all out, I hope you will enjoy this story and thank you all once again for all the wonderful reviews I received from "Summer vacation with the gods" and "Back to the academy"!

Welcome to "Living Among Gods"

Flashback:

"We'll combine our remaining strength to return Fairy to her own world." Apollon said. All the eight gods stood around Yui in a circle as a thunder-like sound, coming from the almost destroyed garden, echoed in the background.

Yui's eyes widened in confusion. "Wait a minute! What are you-"

"Kusanagi…" Yui turned at the sound of Hades voice and looked him in the eye, he was smiling at her. "I shall always pray for your happiness."

Yui didn't have time to reply before Dionysus spoke. "May Kusanagi-san always have a smile on her face."

"No… I'll stay with you!" Yui cried out, she was almost at the verge of tears.

"Kusanagi Yui…" Tsukito said from behind her. "I will never forget the things you taught me."

Takeru pointed at her with a small smirk. "Kusanagi, there's no one like you."

Yui didn't want to hear it anyone. "We said we'd graduate together! Why! ? There are still so many things I want to do together!" She cried and dropped down to her knees. "This isn't fair!"

"Fairy…"

"No!" Yui shouted from the ground, tears were running down her already wet cheeks. "I don't want to be separated from you all! Take me with you!"

Balder looked down at the desperate girl on the ground with sadness in his eyes "Yui-san, you can't come with us."

"If you do, there's no turning back…" Loki finished for him.

"I know…" Her eyes were closed, not wanting to face everyone. She felt so powerless. She knew her friends were doing this to save her but if she had to choose between them and her life on earth, she would choose them... even if it meant she wouldn't be able to see her family again. As one last tear left her eye, she whispered, "I want to be with you…" In that moment, a glowing white light appeared from her heart and the voice of Zeus echoed in the background. "Very well."

Everyone gasped as the light started to consume their human friend and everything around her, including them. Soon, everything was covered in the white light, leaving nothing behind.

End of flashback:

That was two months ago. Being with her friends was what her heart desired so Zeus had decided to grant her wish. The gods were both surprised and happy about her decision and welcomed her into their world with open arms. Yui, for some reason she didn't know herself, decided to stay with the Norse gods in Asgard. She was given a cottage to live in not far away from where Loki, Balder and Thor lived, new clothes so she would fit in, immortality and a very own portal that would lead her to her own world in case she wanted to visit. The portal was placed behind a closed door in her bedroom. But of course, staying with the gods came with a price. She had been erased, meaning that no one back on earth remembered her, including her family, but it was okay… She had made the decision to stay and even if she felt a bit sad she knew she had made the right choice. She was where she wanted to be. She was home.

Yui was enjoying a nice book in her soft and furry couch as the fireplace helped warm up the cottage in the cold winter morning. It was snowing outside so she decided to wait a little until she would go to the well a little further down the snow covered street to get water for her laundry. The life of the gods was a little different from what she was used to but she learned quickly and actually enjoyed it. Of course she had to work a little harder than the gods because she was human and didn't have their strength or stamina but she wasn't the one to complain, especially since the gods provided her with food every day.

She smiled to herself as she turned the page of the book she was reading when suddenly someone knocked on the door. She put the book down on the small table in front of the couch and stood up to answer the door, silently praising herself for putting on her beautiful white dress as soon as she got up this morning. Normally she would just wear a robe during the early morning hours.

When she opened the door she saw Balder standing there with a smile and a bucket of water in his hands. "Good morning, Yui-san."

"Balder-san, good morning!" Yui greeted, surprised to see him here so early.

"I just came to deliver some water for you." Balder smiled sweetly and handed her the bucket.

"Oh, you didn't have to do that!" Yui exclaimed but accepted it anyway.

"Don't worry about it, we promised we would take care of you, didn't we?"

"Ah, but I don't want to be a burden to you all. You're already doing enough for me."

"Kitteeeeen!" Loki called as he flew through the sky and into the cottage and landed on Balder, making him fall to the floor. "I brought some fresh meat and water for you!" He smiled widely with his eyes closed, holding up a basket and a bucket proudly.

Yui looked at him in surprise. "Loki-san, you too?"

"Hm?" Was Loki's only reply before he looked down and noticed Balder on the floor, who he was standing on too… He quickly got off of him. "Balder, you came too?"

Balder mumbled something as he stood up from the floor. "I just thought Yui-san needed some water so I came to give it to her."

"What a coincidence, huh?" Loki smirked and patted his best friend on the shoulder.

"You're both so sweet." Yui giggled and put the bucket she received from Balder down on the floor.

"Good morning, Kusanagi." Thor greeted from the doorway, holding a bucket in his hands. "Since it's snowing I came to deliver some water for you."

"You too? !" Loki and Balder exclaimed in unison.

"Ah, thank you, Thor-san." Yui smiled awkwardly. It was nice that everyone was thinking of her but a little snow had never stopped her before.

"Yuuuuiii~" A female voice called and the goddess named Sif soon appeared beside Thor in the doorway. "Let's have breakfast together!" She suggested cheerfully, holding a basket filled with bread in her hand. Sif was the first goddess Yui had befriended since she moved to Asgard two months ago. She was the goddess of harvest, had long golden hair and wore a green dress. It also seemed like she was interested in Thor. "Oh! Thor, you're here too?" She added when she noticed the silent god beside her.

"Hello Sif." Thor greeted, not changing his facial expression.

Yui didn't have time to leave a reply before the two siblings Freyja and Freyr appeared, they too had a bucket with them. Freyr was the god of fertility, wore a white loincloth, had sparky, long blonde hair and golden eyes. His sister was the goddess of love, had silvery eyes, blonde hair and wore a white dress. "Good morning, sweetheart!" Freyja exclaimed happily, totally ignoring the other gods. "We have brought water for you~"

Yui didn't know what to say, her home was surrounded by gods who all had come to give her food and water because it was snowing outside. She didn't have to say anything though, because Loki was just about to speak his mind. "She doesn't need your water, we've already given her what she needs."

"Well that's too bad." Freyr smirked and stepped inside the cottage and stopped in front of Yui, not minding the death glares he received from Loki and Balder. "And here I thought I would be your only saviour." He added with a flirtatious smile.

"Hey! We came here together, you idiot!" His sister shouted.

"And don't stand so close to her, Freyr!" Balder added.

The gods then started arguing, totally forgetting they were standing in Yui's home. And it was getting cold too and a few snowflakes soon found their way in through the open door. Yui threw a look at the fireplace, it was still burning but if this continued the snow would extinguish the fire. She turned her head back to the others. "Umm…" She began. No one heard her. "Everyone!" She said a little louder.

That caught their attention. They stopped arguing and turned to look at her. "Would you all like to come in and have breakfast?" She asked with a sweet smile planted on her face.

The gods' faces brightened at the suggestion and they forgot what they were arguing about. "We'd love to!" They exclaimed and hurried inside and shut the door behind them. 'Good, that will keep the snow out.' Yui thought in satisfaction. "You're so kind, Yui-san!" Balder smiled as he was walking towards the couch with the others to sit down. "My Kitten is so thoughtful." Loki grinned. "Your Kitten?" Freyr asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I will help you prepare breakfast, Yui!" Sif grinned as she pushed Yui towards the kitchen, bringing the basket of bread with her.

"Oh, but you're my guest-"

"I insist!"

"Thank you so much for the breakfast, sweetie!" Freyja thanked as she and the others stepped out of Yui's cottage.

"Yeah, thanks." "Thank you, Yui-san." "Thanks." Freyr, Balder and Thor said.

"I want us to have breakfast together like this every day!" Sif laughed.

"I should be the one thanking you, you've been taking care of me since the day I came here." Yui told them from the doorway.

"Of course we take care of you, Yui-san, we're doing it because we-" Balder started.

"We love you!" Both Sif and Freyja exclaimed with a huge smile on their faces, earning strange looks from the males. "You women are crazy. I'm glad we've got a sane human woman among us now…" Freyr sighed.

Yui laughed awkwardly at her friends for being so forward.

"Anyway, see you later, Yui. If you're not planning to visit earth again?" Sif asked.

"I think I might pay earth a visit later today but I'll see you all later." Yui answered and waved at them as they left and disappeared from her sight. She closed the door and thought that she could read some more before preparing herself to visit her old home. But as she was returning to her spot on the couch she noticed that someone was already sitting on it and stopped dead in her tracks with a surprised look on her face. "Loki-san?"

"So they finally left, huh?" Loki smirked at her from the couch.

"Yui threw a quick look at the door before looking back at the god of fire on her couch. "Didn't you leave with them?" She asked, confused.

"Why would I leave when I can stay here and get spoiled by you?" Loki answered and laid down on the couch, closed his eyes and smiled in satisfaction.

"Um- I- I really don't mind you staying but-"

"You wanted to read and then leave for the human world." Loki finished for her.

"Y-Yeah…"

"Alright then." Loki said and stood up and walked over to her, "Let's have dinner together when you get back."

"Huh? Dinner?" Yui asked, surprised. She didn't expect him to say that.

"Yeah, just you and me, Kitten." He grinned down at her, flirtatiously.

Yui felt her cheeks heating up for some reason. "W-Well, alright… What time?"

"Just come to my place when you're back." Loki answered and patted her head as he walked past her and headed for the door.

After Loki left Yui had a hard time concentrating on her book. For some reason, she felt too excited to think about anything other than Loki's invitation to eat dinner at his place. Sure, she have had dinner many times together with Loki, Thor and Balder but never alone with him. It had caught her by surprise that he actually wanted to eat with her without the others. She put down her book and walked into the bedroom to look for the sun shaped silver necklace Zeus had given her. She found it on the bedside table.

'I should change clothes, too.' She thought as she put the necklace around her neck. The portal behind the door could take her wherever she wanted to go in the human world but once she had used it, she wouldn't be able to find another portal on earth to bring her back. That's why Zeus had given her that necklace, so she could teleport herself back.

Yui checked her wardrobe for some fitting human clothes a seamstress had made for her, so she could fit in while walking around on earth. She couldn't exactly walk around in the flashy clothes she wore in Asgard, she would stand out too much.

Once she was dressed in blue jeans and a light pink off-the-shoulder top, she was ready to leave. She opened the door next to her bed. 'I think it would be nice to visit my hometown this time.' She thought before she walked through the door and disappeared. Just a second later she found herself standing in the woods, not too far away from the road that would lead her to town. That's how the portal worked, it was made to always "drop her off" in places no one could see her. Other humans would definitely die from a heart attack if they saw someone appear out of thin air like that.

On Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, Zeus was having tea with his brother. "Are you going to punish them?" Hades asked.

"Even if I do, it still wouldn't help…" Zeus answered with a sigh.

"Well, you're right about that. Those two will never change."

"But still, turning your room into a jungle of grapes and lit fireworks in the dining hall…? One could have thought they were smart enough to know they weren't such good ideas."

"Your sons are really… something else." Hades sweat dropped.

"Hey, Dee-Dee!" Apollon laughed as he ran down the hall after his brother.

"That's dangerous, Apollon." Dionysus commented.

"Huh? But people run all the time."

"Not the way you do…"

A second later, Apollon slipped on the newly cleaned, wet floor and slid down the hall at a high speed past Dionysus. "Waaaaahhhhh!"

"Told you so…"

There was no stopping him as Apollon continued to slid further and further away from his brother and if a servant hadn't opened the door to the room where the hall ended, he would have collided with it. Instead, he slid past the surprised servant and into the room where his father and uncle were drinking tea and came to a stop just inches away from where the two older gods were seated.

Zeus and Hades looked down at Apollon on the floor, neither of them seemed surprised. "What a fine entrance…" Zeus commented.

Apollon quickly stood up from the floor. "S-Sorry! The floor was so slippery I wasn't able to stop!"

"We figured that out, Apollon." Hades said before taking a sip of the tea.

A moment later, Dionysus entered the room. "I see you made it all the way over here." He pointed out with a grin.

"Dee-Dee! Why didn't you stop me?" Apollon cried out.

"What was I supposed to do? You just slid down the hall at lightning speed."

"Anyway, Zeus." Hades began. "Any reports from Odin about how Kusanagi is doing?" Odin was the All-Father of all the Nordic gods and the ruler of Asgard. He's the one who keeps Zeus updated about Yui.

Zeus put his cup down on the table. "She's fine. She's made new friends and fits in quite well."

Yui was walking down the road, she knew exactly where it would take her, she had taken this path many times during her life on earth. But of course, she had spent almost a year at the academy Zeus created and then she moved in with the gods and had been living with them for 2 months. So it kind of felt like she hadn't been here for a very long time. She had visited earth around 7 times but this was the first time she had decided to visit her hometown. She was afraid she would get homesick, sad, or regret her decision if she came back here. Especially now since she had been erased…

This road would take her to her old home.

"It will be fine." Yui told herself quietly and took a deep breath.

The sound of big flapping wings distracted her from her thoughts. She looked up to the side towards the trees to see if she could spot her visitors. Of course they were here, Odin's two ravens, Hugin and Munin. They always followed her around when she traveled beyond Asgard. It wasn't as if they wanted to stay hidden and watch over her from a distance, they were just polite enough to wait for permission to join her, if she wanted any company.

Hugin and Munin looked like normal ravens, only that they were twice as big as the average raven. Their actual job was to inform Odin about what they had seen during their flights. But recently, their top priority had been her. And Yui didn't complain! She enjoyed their company a lot and sometimes they would actually talk with her. Usually they didn't talk at all but when they did, they could have very interesting conversations together. Yui remembered the first time she had heard the two birds talk, she was so startled she had jumped and tripped on her feet. She was lucky Loki had been there to catch her so she wouldn't fall to the floor.

Yui continued to walk as she looked to the sky, no sign of them yet. Another minute passed before she saw something black in the corner of the eye. They were definitely here and had made their presence known, so instead of looking up, she focused on something straight ahead of her and called, "Do you want to join me or would you rather fly over my head?"

Less than 5 seconds passed when she suddenly felt the two big birds land on her bare shoulders. She raised her hands and patted them on their heads. "Nice to see you, boys." She greeted before she continued to walk as natural as she could with two ravens on her shoulders. "We're going to pass my old home soon, I just hope I won't get too emotional."

Hugin made a "Kraa" sound and pecked lightly on Yui's head in a comforting way.

"Hey uncle! Are you leaving already?" Apollon called as he and Dionysus followed Hades down the hall.

"I have to return. Take care and try to behave." Hades answered without turning around.

"But things are so boring here, Hades-san. Can't you stay and entertain us?" Dionysus asked.

Hades stopped walking. "And just how am I going to entertain you?"

"By blowing something up!" Apollon laughed as he threw his arms in the air.

Hades and Dionysus gave the god of the sun a strange look before looking at each other. "Come on Hades-san, can't we just go somewhere together? We haven't been able to do anything fun for over a month."

"Hnn…" Hades began.

"Oh! I know! Let's go to the Norse gods and hang out with Fairy!" Apollon exclaimed.

"That's a good idea, we haven't seen her for several weeks now." Dionysus agreed.

Hades closed his eyes as if to think about something. "Well… If it's Kusanagi… I suppose I could stay above the underworld a little longer."

"There you are! We've been looking for you." A voice from further down the hall called and the three Greek gods turned around to see the two Totsuka brothers coming their way.

"Ah! Tsuki-Tsuki! Take-Take!" Apollon exclaimed and waved at them.

"Damn this place is huge… It took us forever to find you." Takeru complained.

"We could have just asked where they were, Totsuka Takeru." Tsukito said with his usual poker face on.

"We don't need to ask for directions, we found them in the end didn't we?"

Hades cleared his throat to get their attention. "It's good to see you two but what brings you here?"

"Oh, right." Takeru started.

"Totsuka Takeru wanted to see Kusanagi Yui." Tsukito finished for him.

"B-Brother!"

"We thought it would be a good idea to invite you to come with us." Tsukito added, ignoring his brother.

"You came at a great time, we just thought about going to see her, too." Dionysus said.

"Awesome! Now we can all go!" Apollon said happily.

"If you're going to see the human you should go to the human world." Zeus informed as he walked towards them.

"The human world?" Takeru asked.

"I just found out from Odin that his two ravens followed Kusanagi Yui to her old home in Japan."

"Her old home? What is she going to do over there?" Hades asked.

"It's just a visit, as usual." Zeus answered.

"But this must be the first time Fairy has gone to visit her former home since she started living with us, what if she's homesick and wants to go back?" Apollon asked, almost in panic.

Zeus closed his eyes. "Like I said, it's just a visit and-" When he opened his eyes again, the 5 gods were already gone. Zeus just sighed, "Oh well… Maybe now I can get some peace and quiet."

A/N: That's it for now! I hope you enjoyed it so far and you can expect the second chapter later this week :)
