Previous Chapter

Two-legged, two lovers, and too many family problems

Warnings: Meh, nothing too bad. Just some sexual deprivation

“What are you DOGS DOING HERE?!” I heard Xibalba screeching, the scent of his rage overpowering.

Father laughed loudly, and Chivo let out his own devious little chuckle before tossing a fireball the God, to which Xibalba easily dodged.

“I will slaughter you BOTH!” Xibalba howled, wings casting shadows down on where my father and mentor stood. Neither looked fearful, fully prepared to take on our King’s brother to get what they came for.

However, they no longer would have too.

“CEASE!” I cried, matching Xibalba’s stance and perching on a small building across from him. Xibalba was standing on a statue of sorts, green fire blazing in anger.

He looked slowly from my father and mentor up to me, his eyes giving a slight indication of his shock before he shifted back into fury.

“Well. Well. Well.” He hissed, flaring his wings again. “The little mutant-freak has returned home.” He grinned, dagger-like teeth curling upwards. “Can’t say I’m too happy to see you.”

“Mutual. I promise.” I grunted. I looked down to my father, and he was stunned. Chivo was clearly trying to figure out HOW I was “here”, but he didn’t say anything aloud. He’d have his answers soon enough.

“Time to go, you two. You’ve made enough of a mess, vamanos.”

“Cai! No, let me fight him!” My father cried, throwing his arms up and pouting. Such a child….. “I’ll END him!”

No, you won’t.

“No, you won’t.” Xibalba scoffed, shaking his head in mock sadness. “You know Cabrakan, for such an ancient God, you are quite the disappointment. I truly don’t understand WHY Cipactli chose YOU of all Gods to be her mate, and to father her children no less!”

When father’s eyes began to glow red, Xibalba’s grin returned. “I wonder if it’s because you are nearly as deformed as your children, or simply because……… you are weak.”

I snarled, using my tail to smash part of the building’s roof. “Mind your words when speaking to my father, forgotten lord.” I sneered, leaning forward. “He is TEN TIMES the God, husband, and FATHER you will ever be!”

Xibalba was taken aback, I could tell, but he didn’t let it show easily. “It is LORD OF THE FORGOTTEN, mutant. Not forgotten lord.”

Now I was feeling asinine, why not piss him off a little more?

“Hmp.” I chuckled, swaying slightly. “I’ll have to ask Lord Mictlan when I get home why your mother gave YOU her least desired lands then…… such a trivial matter.”

“Cai!” Chivo hissed, shaking his head aggressively. “Stop!”

Chivo was ignored, and Xibalba turned to tar and teleported in front of me, hovering as he leaned down to my face. “Heed my words, girl.” He began, teeth bared. “You will die by his hand. All of you will.”

His words were painted with venom, but I heard the truth to his words. Regardless, I would not let him beat me in a verbal fight.

“Mmmmmmmmm.” I purred, turning away from him and admiring my claws. “I’d say there is…… about a hundred or so years before THAT becomes a concern, yes?”

“You naive, stupid-“

“Xibalba.”

Oh shit.

“B-brother?” Xibalba swallowed, jumping down from the building and landing where my father, Chivo, and now Lord Mictlan stood. “Wha-what brings YOU here?” He tried to sound powerful, but he was shaking like a kitten!

“Fetching Xiuhtecuhtli.” Lord Mictlan said nonchalantly, raising his eyelids. “She has a job to do.” He looked up at me, beckoning with a claw and turning away. “Come along, dear girl.”

“At once, my Lord.” I responded in a clear voice. Whooshing upwards and slamming down beside him, delighted in how my landing made the stonework on the ground splinter.

Oh, yes!

Father ran up behind me, placing a hand on my shoulder and grinning like mad. Chivo approached slower. “How………?”

“Later, later.” I responded, following Lord Mictlan back to the portal. We made it all the way back before Xibalba attempted to follow.

“WAIT-“ I heard him yell, right before Chivo stepped through last and closed the portal. Out of all the people standing there: me, Lord Mictlan, my father, Chivo, Hura and Can, their father, Bone, and Skull- nobody said anything.

We all kinda….. stood there. Just staring at each other. I guess I’ll be the one to break the tension.

“Well, that was fun!” I huffed, putting my arms up and dropping them to the side. “For anyone wondering, the Realm of Suffering is TOTALLY overrated, zero out of ten- no, ONE HUNDRED! Do not recommend, whatsoever.”

Lord Mictlan slowly looked at me, moving only his head. “Yes, Cai. We know.” He grunted, eyeing me carefully, like he didn’t understand I was JOKING. “I myself was BORN there.”

With that, Lord Mictlan walked away, giving Bitol a glare as he went back to the temple. When the doors slammed shut, only then did sound return.

“WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?” Chivo wailed, collapsing onto the ground is despair. “One minute you are on the ground, wailing and trapped in the form of a giant LIZARD! And the NEXT you are standing above us all HIGH AND MIGHTY like nothing ever happened!”

He ran up to me, jumping up and pulling me down by my shoulders. “WHAT IS GOING OOOOOOOOOOON!?!?”

“Calm down!” I said through laughter. “It’s okay! Bitol fixed me, gave me some of his power!”

“Th-that was an option?” Father asked, horrified. “CHIVO! YOU DIDNT THINK TO TELL ME OR CIPACTLI ABOUT THIS?!”

“I DIDNT KNOW! I DIDNT KNOW!” Chivo howled, curling up into a ball and covering his head. “I……… I didn’t know…….” He mumbled in a small voice.

“Aw, hey it’s okay.” I offered, crouching beside him and patting his back. “You’ve never had to treat anything like this, and that’s okay! Now, in the future, you have new knowledge for similar ailments!”

“Y-yeah.” My mentor mumbled, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. I was trying to comfort him, but deep down, I shared my father’s rage. Such a SIMPLE way to help me, and nobody(not even ME) thought of it?! Countless Gods conjoined with each other all the TIME!

“Good, good. Now then-“ I moved past Chivo, opening my arms and wings as I walked to Hura and Can. “My loves?”

And again, like when I saw my mother, I was rolling.

“Wait wait wait-“ I wheezed, choking on the soup my mother made. “You got her HUSBAND to help you?”

The entire family(save for my brothers), were in my parent’s home, eating. Chivo had gone off to sulk, and Bone and Skull were chased away by mother……. again.

Since Mictlan didn’t reappear and collect me for the “work” he claimed I had, we all rejoined mother at home, who was shocked and delighted to see me “back to normal.”

“Yes, yes.” Bitol sighed, eyeing his own bowl with a nervous look. Did he honestly believe mother had put something foreign in? It was soup! “The half-cat aided me and Camazotz in getting Hura and Can back….. he suggested to his wife to use them as bait to get you to come back.”

“Hmp.” I responded, rubbing Hura’s arm. We three sat on the floor, both on either side of me. Zatz was asleep, head resting on my chest. “Well I do hope Buluc Chabtan stays none the wiser…… that God has suffered enough.”

“Ay.” Hura agreed in a sad voice. “Him and……. many more.”

“Xquic again, mi amor?” I asked, and he nodded somberly. I sighed softly and pulled his head to mine, nuzzling him.

“It’ll be okay…… it will.” Eventually.

Can was quiet, watching his father with slight annoyance. He clearly didn’t appreciate his father’s behavior.

Bitol cleared his throat and sat the untouched bowl on the ground, standing up. “I am very sorry, but I must leave you all now.” He turned to Camazotz, who was sitting near my father and having a quiet conversation.

“Please keep me updated, Camazotz. On everything.” The General didn’t look too pleased, but he gave the Lord of Sky a curt nod before resuming his chat with my father.

“Many thanks for the meal, Cipactli. I appreciate the hospitality.”

With that, Bitol was gone. Disappearing like he was never there, other than the few random feathers scattered on the floor.

“Puta.” Mother huffed, picking up the bowl. “Cabrakan do you want this?”

“YES-“ Father cried in glee, jumping up and taking the bowl from mother’s hand. She chuckled quietly, turning away and sitting down at the table.

Zatz let out a whine, sitting up and rubbing his eye. “Mami?” He mumbled, fumbling with my necklace.

“I’m right here.” I purred, kissing his head as he fell back asleep almost instantly. Poor baby…..

“He’s worried you’ll leave again.” Can said gently, watching the boy. “I share that fear.”

“Ay, no.” I mumbled, shaking my head. Now everyone was quiet, either glancing around or watching us. “I won’t be playing anymore…… games……. and I don’t believe Lord Mictlan will allow me to leave anytime soon.”

“Good.” Mother said, standing back up and walking over, collecting bowls. “You aren’t leaving this fucking temple without an army.” She paused, thinking. “But I do think your brothers will want to see you again.”

“HUH?” Hura yelled, horrified. “Your brothers were BANISHED! And you STILL HAVE CONTACT WITH THEM?!”

“Of COURSE we do!” Mother howled, enraged. “What did you expect the three of us to do?! Forget about them?!”

“Bro, chill.” Can yelped, “It’s fine.”

“NO IT ISNT!” Hura wailed, “If Lord Mictlan found out-“

“Lord Mictlan WONT find out.” I snapped, cutting him off. “Because nobody is going to TALK about it, hm?”

Silence.

“I-I……… but-“ Hura stammered, looking to his brother for support. Can shrugged, eyeing me with a concerned expression before narrowing his eyes in warning at his brother.

“Don’t do this bro.” Can sighed. “This doesn’t have anything to do with either of us.”

“Maybe not BEFORE.” Hura responded. “But NOW, it very much does!”

“Oh, okay.” I snapped. “All claws on deck, hm? Fine! Next time I go searching for my brother’s, YOU BOTH are coming too!”

Everyone froze, staring at me with dead eyes. “Not a good idea.” Mother muttered, rubbing my arm as she wrapped her own around me. “The more we let into this-this secrecy, the higher a chance there is of Lord Mictlan finding them himself.”

“I will be careful, mother.” I said, leaning into her embrace. “I won’t risk their safety……… or mine.”

“But you are-“ Hura started again, only to stop with a yelp as Can jumped on him in a tackle.

“SH! SH!” The younger twin yelped, attempting to use his singular hand to muffle his brother’s protest. “We just got her back and you are ALREADY trying to cause a fight!”

I laughed, passing Zatz to my mother as I attempted to untangle the twins. Can loudly started to scream about how my choice regarding my brothers didn’t concern either of them, while Hura bit down on his hand so he would free his mouth.

“Enough boys! Take it outside!” My mother snapped, rocking Zatz who had started to stir. “Don’t you break anything!”

“Mami? Mami?!” Zatz cried, frantically looking around. Camazotz got up and took him, reassuring his son. Zatz watched me, sadness turned to curiosity as he watched me try to climb between Hura and Can.

“What you doing to them Mami?” He wondered aloud, titling his head curiously. With an exasperated sigh, I squirmed in between and freed Hura from Can’s grasp.

Can tried to pick me up and move me, but I in-turn hung onto his neck, laughing. “Cai! Off!” He yelled, going for his brother again who yelped and scrambled away.

“Leave him be!” I yelled through laughter, slightly loosing my grip. “It’s fine! Let him worry his head to madness, it’ll be fine!!!”

Can started growling, gritting his teeth as he stood up and held me to his chest, probably hoping I would let go. I didn’t, so he made a step towards his brother, who yelped and hid behind Camazotz and mother.

“Fuck off, fuck off!” Hura hissed, keeping his hand on Camazotz to use him as a shield. Zatz started to giggle, clapping his hands and reaching for me.

“Mami!!!” He giggled, kicking his feet eagerly. Camazotz put him down, and he waddled up to me and Can. “Put Ma’ down, por-fa-vor.” I laughed at his word break-up, and Can eyed the boy.

“If I set you down Cai…..” Can began, loosing his grip. “Oh I will absolutely pick up the son and then climb back on you.” I chirped, grinning.

“No, no. That won’t be needed. I’ll leave Hura’s bitch-ass alone.” With a growl, I was sat on the ground, and Zatz curled up in my arms again. He started letting out small bat-chirps, and I growled lovingly in response.

Hura did his best to stay away from his brother as he approached me, picking me up and sitting me on my feet as he stood behind me.

“It’s getting……… late.” Father snickered. The whole deal in the Underworld was that there wasn’t always a set time where we slept in the night, it was more a “when Mictlan is awake, so are we.”

I checked the fire, searching for the King of the Underworld. He was with his wife, sleeping in bed with his son cuddled between them. There was one small candle in the room, a little blaze in the dark. I had to assume it was set-up so I could check on Micte from time to time-

Her……. that THING in her womb would be coming out soon.

Father took note of my sudden displeasure, “What’s wrong Cai?” He asked, worried.

“Nothing father.” I breathed, closing my fire-sight. “The royal family is asleep.” I turned to my husbands, “Ready to go…… home?”

“When was the last time ANY of us were there?” Can mumbled aloud. Mother spoke up, saying how she kept it clean.

We all thanked her, said our fair-wells, and started our walk to the twin’s living quarters. Zatz was wide awake, humming quietly.

When we got home, I let out a small snarl and set all torches in the place alight, illuminating the rooms. Mother was indeed true to her words, the place was spotless.

“Casa!” Hura sang, walking in after me. He smiled mischievously at Can, who nodded eagerly and moved up behind me, placing a hand on my hip.

“Sooooooo-“ Can began, pressing his lips on my neck.

“I’m holding a damn baby-“ I began, and both immediately let out noises of protest. “Put him on the couch and give him a blanket!” Can cried, his brother agreeing.

“No! Absolutely not!” I responded, sitting down in a chair. “I’m not going to leave him because you two want-“ I stopped myself, and Zatz looked at my curiously and blinked.

Hura snickered, shaking his head. Can made a pleading sound, so I crossed my legs. Both lowered their heads and sat down in their own chairs…… glaring at me unhappily.

At least they have some maturity. Beforehand they would have blamed Zatz for my refusal to fuck. Now, they blame me. Yay………

“Deal with it.” I huffed, “I’m not going anywhere.”

So this meme is somewhat based off my AU / headcanon that Vucub and Chivo are divorced & that Bone and Skull are their daughters:
