Wishes do come true

Part 3

Just a note. In this story, the Gods are classified into different classes, First, Second, Third, Fourth Class. Obviously 1st is the best, most powerful. The classes are subdivided into Limited, Unlimited. When a God is limited, he is limited in his capabilites. When Unlimited, he is well ... unlimited, totally unstoppable. Gods are only promoted when they prove themselves worthy, and demoted if otherwise. And yeah, they called the One (God himself), Father...

"Idiot! " Hanamachi grabbed Sendoh by the neck of his collar and pushed him against the wall. "Did you know what you just wish for? "

"But, I did Not wish for anything." Sendoh said bewildered.

Hanamachi gave him a strange look. " Look in a mirror and don't Faint."

'Gee, give the dog a bad name and hang it. I just lost consciousness once.' Sendoh thought sourly. Walking into his bedroom, he yanked his wardrobe open and ... screamed.

"He managed it better than I expected. " Turning his attention to the unconscious figure slumped on the couch, he heaved a sigh. "Back to business." Twirling his right hand round, a faint glow pulsed and a syringe appeared in his hand. Rolling back Rukawa's sleeve, he squeezed the nozzle. A spray of sickly green liquid shot out. Satisfied, he carefully injected the contents into Rukawa's arm. Almost instantaneously, Rukawa opened his eyes.

"It's never good to be too dependent on P29. You know its side effects of ..." Hanamachi trailed off worriedly, expressing his rare show of concern for Rukawa. Rukawa ignored Hanamachi, concentrating on adjusting himself to the steady pulsation of the drug flowing through his veins.

"Anyway, you should give Father a call. There's a problem."

" ? "

"Sendoh slipped and said something like ' wish to be in your command', and apparently it was granted. Cause you did the works and fainted again due to Your Lack of Reserves." Hanamachi snickered.

"I know that. " Rukawa snapped, annoyed to be reminded of his fatal weakness that made him remain stuck at First Class Limited for over 2 milleniums. Drawing a Noriko handphone from his robe, Rukawa pressed memory 1 button.

"Father, it's Rukawa. Regarding a mortal by the name of Sendoh Ak..." He paused. "I see. Even if the wish was unintentional..." Biting his lower lip, he grew more agitated as the person on the other end explained. " It isn't fair! How about Hanamachi? Don't he... I see. No other way? I ... Thank-you Father. Bye."

Rukawa stared at Hanamachi accusingly. "You called Father earlier."

"Moi?" Hanamachi said innocently, this was ruined by the chesire grin pasted on his face.

"I am now stuck alone, no thanks to you, with a ..." Rukawa looked around. " Where's Sendoh?"

A ear piercing shriek answered him. The pair of Gods rushed into the bedroom and found Sendoh standing in front of the mirror on the wardrobe door, his hands frantically rubbing at his face. "Mind explaining these purple lines on my body?" Sendoh asked
grimly, gesturing at the newly formed tattoos.

Reflected from the mirror, was a changed Sendoh. His face had similar diamond shaped markings like the Gods. His body was stripped with a black floral design all over. The resemblance to a zebra was uncanny.

"It's black not purple." Hanamachi corrected.

"Ah, so it's black. So what does these COLOURED tattoos got to do the wish that I supposedly made?"

"You see, you said to Rukawa ' My wish is to be in your command' so... " Hanamachi smiled, clearly enjoy teasing Sendoh.

"I was only joking. Besides I said MY wish, not I wish!"

"It means all the same. Your wish is granted already."

This is too much. Sendoh thought in anger. I never request from God anything, I say my prayers, I do my voluntary work, I paid my taxes and this is what I get. I got a visit from two Gods and a granted wish that painted me black in permentant ink. I Never asked for ANYthing.

"Sendoh, what you accidentally wished for, was to be under my command." Rukawa said quietly, interrupting Senodh's dark broodings.

"You mean? " Sendoh's eyes popped out slightly as he grasped the consequence of his wish.

"He means, Welcome to Godhood. Akira Sendoh." Hanamachi beamed, stretching out his hand.
