Strife and Xander materialised outside what Xander recognised as Angel's offices in LA. He smiled as he thought of the wonderful joke he could have at Angel's expense. He quickly outlined his plan to Strife and made himself visible.

Xander ran up the stairs as fast as he could, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Deadboy, help me..please!!" As he reached the top floor the door opened and he found himself in Angel's arms, not a position he wanted to be. Xander shook from trying to contain his laughter, Angel luckily thought he was shaking in fear.

"What's wrong Xander? Is someone after you?" Angel said, his voice full of seriousness as he thought about the possible danger. Xander only nodded unable to speak for fear of laughing, pretending to hide as Strife walked up the stairs, slowly.

When Strife appeared at the door, wearing black leather and looking yummy, Xander thought, Angel moved Xander behind him and took up a defensive position in front of him.

"I advise you to move, Angelus before I get angry. You seem to be in my way." Strife said, his voice like steel.

"I won't let you touch Xander and my name is Angel" Angel spat out, as he opened his coat to reveal a large axe. Angel looked on in amazement as Xander moved from behind him and ran into the stranger's arms before kissing the man on the lips, trying to devour him. The man simply grounded his body against Xander's as Angel blinked, unable to speak.

Pulling away from Strife, Xander looked at Angel who still hadn't closed his mouth and let out a giggle. The vampire looked as if someone had just told him that Buffy was pregnant with Spike's child.

"Hey, Deadboy, snap out of it. For some reason you're important to the fate of the world so you're coming with us." Xander said as he clicked his fingers in Angel's eyes.

""Er.. Xander what just happened?" Angel asked apparently finding his voice.

"Long story short, we played a joke on you. I haven't got long so we'll just have to tell you the basics." Xander said as he wondered where to start.

Seeing his love's hesitation Strife decided to tell the story, it wasn't like he cared what this Angel thought, and judging by Xander's memories, he didn't either.

"My name is Strife the God of Mischief and this is my husband Alexander the God of Mayhem. We got married a couple of hours ago and I could think of a whole lot of things I'd rather be doing.. most of them involving me an' Xan naked. For some horrible reason the Fates decided that we had to get a group of six people together and you are the first." Strife said, his angry tone making it clear that he wasn't happy at spending his honeymoon working.

"Y�You're a� G..God." Angel stuttered looking at Xander in disbelief. Annoyed at the idea that Angel thought that they were lying Xander decided to show the vampire that he was a God. He moved his hand and the air moved towards angel in waves, hitting the vampire and making him shake. Xander made Angel see everything that the vamp had done against him. Then he decided to knock Angel out, it would be quieter and they wouldn't have to put up with his brooding. Xander quickly directed a ball of energy at the amazed vampire, who fell to the floor. Strife and Xander ignored the body as they walked towards each other. Strife grabbed Xander's shirt and thrust him up against the closed door and kissed him, pinning him to the door with his body. Xander retaliated by rubbing his body up against Strife and moving his hands under Strife's black shirt, teasing his nipples.

"Boys, come on. I know you don't wan to be doing this but get to it." Ares' voice sounded through the room, making the Gods freeze.

"Have I mentioned that Pops has awful timing." Strife said as he moved to kiss Xander again, ignoring his fathers' order.

"Boys I said Now!!" Ares yelled in the room making them pull apart with one last fast, passionate kiss and a groan. Looking at the list in his hand, Strife saw that they had to go and collect someone called Daniel�who was in Tibet. He quickly transported Angel's unmoving body to Olympus and the Gods disappeared, the only sign of their presence was a dent in the door.

"Why can't we go somewhere fun like a brothel or someplace with a bed?" Xander asked as they appeared in what looked like a monastery.

Looking around he recognised the man in the room as Oz, the one guy who had perhaps been his friend. Making himself visible he walked over to the man and sat down.

"Hi Oz, its good to see you again. I've got some things to tell you, most of them will be a surprise but what can I say. The first is that I'm gay and I've met someone. This is Strife my husband the God of Mischief and as of today I'm the God of Mayhem." Xander said as Strife appeared and sat down beside them. The only reaction from Oz was a blink.

"Now something else that involves you is that you have been named to take part in a prophecy and we need you to come with us. We will be collecting four others, the first is already back on Olympus...it's Angel." Xander continued, seeing that Oz wasn't going to speak.

"Sure I'll come with you." Oz said to Xander, before turning to look at Strife and speaking again, "I don't care if you're a God, hurt Xan and I'll find some way to kill you." His voice was like ice as he looked the God in the eye.

"If I hurt him, I'll kill myself." Strife promised before touching Oz's arm and transporting him to Olympus.

"Let's hurry and get the other four, maybe we'll be able to get back to our home then." Strife said as he looked at the list, realising that they had another vampire to collect, what was it with vampires he wondered.

They found themselves in what appeared to be a deserted warehouse but each one knew that the vamp they sought was somewhere nearby.

"Miss Edith was right you've come to collect me haven't you?" A far away sounding voice said as a figure came into the room. Druscilla was wearing a black dress and looked very happy, a fact that made Xander shiver, a happy insane vampire was never a good sign.

"Yes we've come for you..are you ready?" Strife asked, seeing the effect the vampire had on Xander.

"I'm ready..will you take me to met Angel?" She replied.

"Why don't you go and see him now, we've still got to find some people." Xander said, making Druscilla disappear to Olympus.

"I can't believe that we've got to take him with us. But I suppose he wasn't that bad. If he comes after you..am I allowed to kill him?" Strife asked as they looked at the young British man who didn't know they were there. He remembered how the man had pursued Xander when the boy had been in high school.

"Sure but I think we need him. Do you really want the rest of the Gods mad at us because you couldn't control your jealousy. Besides don't you know that you're the only one for me." Xander said, placing a small kiss on Strife's lips.

"Hi Wes." Xander said as he made himself and Strife visible. Strife erupted in giggles at the look of fear on the man's face as they appeared. It was too good.

"We need you to come with us to Olympus. We promise that nothing will happen to you but your very important to a prophecy." Xander said, trying to soothe the man's fears.

"Alright, Xander I'll come with you." The Wesley said, as soon as these words were uttered Strife made him disappear in a flash of light.

"That wasn't that nice. Now I'll have to spend time apologising to him." Xander said, smiling at the scowl that appeared on Strife's face at the though of Xander spending time with the annoying man.

Giles was startled when Xander and Strife appeared in front of him. He dropped his glasses in shock before seemingly returning to normal and speaking.

"My Lords, what can I do for you?" Giles asked, as he kneeled before them realising that they were in fact Gods.

"Hey G-Man, we need you to come to Olympus and quit it with the lords bit, its a bit annoying." Xander said as he wondered just how Giles knew that they were Gods.

"It that's what you want Xander. Is this anything to do with the prophecy of the Six?." Giles asked curious.

"Yeah, we'll transport you to Olympus as we go and get the last person and then we'll explain to everyone. Please don't tell anyone anything about the prophecy in detail it's supposed to be us that fills everyone in." Xander said as he made Giles disappear, his words echoing inside Giles' mind.

Strife and Xander next appeared in a dark, lifeless apartment that looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Sitting, searching through a spell book was Ethan Rayne. The last man of the prophecy and in Xander's opinion the one least likely to go with them. He remembered that they just had to get him to Olympus. It didn't matter what kind of state he was in. Knowing this Xander hit the man with a ball of energy that knocked the man unconscious. Xander just wanted to get back home and screw Strife into the mattress.

The group of three appeared in Olympus to find everyone sitting silently. Using their powers Xander and Strife commanded each one to sleep for at least eight hours, more than enough for the Gods to have a good time for a while.

"Lets go." Xander said, as Strife made them disappear in a haze of red and blue sparks.

When they materialised they were in a bedroom decorated in mix of black and red. In the centre of the room was a large bed with black silk sheets. Bedside the bed lay a bowl of oil and candles. On the moves of Xander's hand the candles lit.

Strife pushed the younger God onto the bed, so the man was on his hands and knees, Strife scooped up some of oil with his fingers. Coating his index finger, the he slid it into Xander's cleft he started rubbing the oil spread gently around his entrance, feeling the tiny shudders that passed through his love. Xander moaned as the slick finger caressed sensitive skin, then thrust back against the tormenting hand. Probing the small pucker with more determination, the older God pressed inward. Xander gasped as his lover's finger slid in, the muscles tightening around the probing finger.

Watching himself finger-fuck the perfect round ass, Strife groaned with desire and need. Strife pulled out and slid two fingers in, scissoring them to stretch the younger God then searched for the small nub deep in the hot channel.

"Oh Gods . . . please . . . I need you inside me right now!" Xander moaned through the haze of desire.

His words were interrupted as Strife grabbed his hips, using his hands to spread the perfect cheeks he'd been caressing, then plunged into his husbands waiting body. Xander closed his eyes as a jolt of pain hit before opening them and uttering four words, "make love to me."

Xander thrust his hips against Strife's as the Strife pounded into him, driving them him into the mattress in the desire to claim his husband. Xander's cock rubbed against the mattress, providing a delicious friction that countered Strife's movements. The younger God felt the orgasm rumble in the pit of his belly, radiating out to every part of his body as the hard cock drove into his ass, pushing him farther and farther towards the edge of sanity.

Strife thrust in and out of Xander's body --- fingers gripping the warm skin --- trying to get deeper and closer with every thrust. His hands skimmed along the lithe back, across broad shoulders, and down strong arms, locking his fingers with Xander's. He angled his strokes to hit the younger man's prostate, a whispered "oh, yeah, babe" encouraging him. Leaning down, Strife licked the young man's shoulder until he found the start of his shoulder and bit his lover marking him, claiming him.

"Mine." Strife snarled the word into the heated room.

"I'm Yours" Xander whispered passionately.

Strife felt Xander shudder as his orgasm began and the muscles in his ass clenched deliciously, making the Strife come inside him with a shout of "Mine." Xander shouted "Strife" once before coming into the mattress. With a thought the wet patch disappeared and the two Gods fell asleep, their hands entwined, exhausted from their lovemaking.

Part 5:

Xander awoke the next morning to the feeling of someone running their hands along his ribcage. It felt arousing and soothing, so he gave in to the desire to just lie in Strife's arms, knowing that they would have to move.

"Are the Guests awake?" Xander asked the tone of his voice making it clear that he really wasn't interested. He knew that the six people in the main room were important but he hadn't planned on spending his honeymoon fighting to save the world.

"They woke up about an hour ago, but unfortunately the doors are all stuck and won't open. I can't think why (!)" Strife replied to the question, still running his fingers along Xander's ribs, with a delightfully cruel smirk on his face.

"I guess we should go and see them. As soon as I've got you dressed, that is." Xander said moving out of the bed, pushing Strife out first. He stood looking at Strife thinking about just what Strife would look great in. Finally he decided and waved his hand. Strife looked down in surprise to find himself wearing a blood red silk shirt, tight leather pants and leather boots. He looked delicious Xander decided.

"Since we're playing dress up the husband. I'll pick ya clothes." Strife stated, making Xander wonder just what he would end up wearing. Remembering Strife's jealousy the day before he wondered if he'd end up totally covered up. In a weird kind of way he liked Strife's possessiveness.

With a nod of his head Strife dressed Xander and whistled appreciatively at the picture of sexuality his husband painted. Xander was wearing matching leather pants, boots and a green silk shirt that looked wonderful with his dark eyes.

The pair looked at each other and at their hands realising that neither had a ring to show their marriage. It wasn't needed with the other Gods but now that they would be walking around with mortals both needed some symbol of their love. Using a small amount of his power Xander transported a ring from his wooden box in the basement of the Harris house onto Strife's hand. It was a silver ring with two hearts entwined on the middle. With a thought the words "X and S forever" were engraved on the inside. It had been his grandmother's wedding band and a present to Xander on his 18th birthday the only one he had received that year. He had always intended to give it to whoever won his heart, mind, body and soul. Strife owned him completely as he owned Strife, he was simply giving it to the person it had always been destined for.

"This is to show everyone that you belong to me as I belong to you." Xander said with a smile as Strife waved his hand and a silver ring appeared on Xander's hand. The ring was a thin silver band with the words "S and X forever" engraved on the inside. Strife smiled as he saw the sign of his love for Xander on Xander's hand.

Strife quickly gave Xander a kiss before transporting the pair into the main were their six unwanted guests were waiting. Silence descended on the room as everyone turned to look at the two Gods. Everyone waited unwilling to speak. Rolling his eyes Xander decided that he would have to break the silence if he ever wanted to get back to his honeymoon.

"Did you all sleep well? Not that it really matters. For those of you who don't know my name is Alexander Harris and I'm the God of Mayhem you can all call me Xander. The gorgeous man at my side is my husband Strife the God of Mischief." Xander said his voice giving away his boredom. He smiled at Strife as Strife opened his mouth to speak.

"I'm very possessive so don't get any ideas about my Xan or I may have to hurt you." Strife said looking at Wesley, remembering the man's crush on Xander. Wesley swallowed audibly as he took in the maniacal gleam in Strife's eyes.

"Xander don't worry we won't interfere in your relationship but can we just ask exactly why we're here?" Oz said, speaking for the six.

"Basically put you're here because the you all contain the essence of a God. There is a prophecy called the Sacred Six it is about a group of gods who are formed when six people come together. Well to be exact three pairs of two within the six. When the correct pairs come together you will all become Gods to replace the gap within the Gods." Xander said before Strife finished the speech.

"This might be against the rules but who cares about the rules. I'll give you all a copy of the prophecy and you should all follow you're feelings. You all know who you're meant to be with." Strife said before six copies of the prophecy appeared on black paper written in red.

Each of the six took a copy of the prophecy and retreated to a private part of the room to figure out just who was their soulmate.

"Now that we feel we can trust you we will give you free access to our home. But be careful there are a couple of rooms that have some unpleasant monsters in and don't go in our bedroom that's strictly out of bounds." Xander said sitting down on Strife's lap watching the six.

"Hey Xan, I bet that Wesley won't figure it out first. I think that you're old pal Giles will be first to figure out each pair." Strife whispered in Xander's ears as he stroked the younger God's hair.

"No it'll be Oz man. He is just great at things like this and Wesley's not too bad either." Xander replied nuzzling into Strife's neck.

As they were talking Oz quickly walked over towards the silent Angel and coughed, alerting the vampire to his presence. Taking a seat next to Angel Oz smiled and spoke, wondering what the vampire was thinking.

"Hey Angel, I guess you've read the prophecy. You do realise who the pairs are don't you?" Oz said waiting for an answer.

"Not all of them but it won't take long." Angel replied a smile on his face.

"I'll let you in on a secret. Its simple really when you read it. You and I are supposed to be together. I'm fire and you are ice, in case you didn't know my hair is actually red. The seeing one is obviously Dru and the injured is Wes so that means that Giles and Ethan are the final pair." Oz said before turning to face the vampire face to face.

It was unclear which one moved first, neither of them knew or cared. One minute they were looking at each other the next their lips touched. The world disappeared as they kissed each other, both feeling the pieces slot into place, feeling as if they were truly at home. The kiss was both gentle and rough, hard and soft, loving and dangerous.

"Congratulations, guys its nice to see that the two of you have figured it out." Xander said before making the pair disappear into one of the many bedrooms. Xander quickly moved his thoughts away from what Angel and Oz would be doing.

*****
Part 6:

Xander sighed, annoyed that it was taking so long. He had expected Giles or Wesley to have figured it out since they had spent most of their time translating obscure texts. With a pout he turned to Strife who was staring at him in a haze of lust. The pair kissed tenderly, uncaring about their audience.

"Hello Kitten, you're mine aren't you? Miss Edith told me all about you, we'll spend eternity forever, Kitten. I'll protect you, no one hurts what's mine." Dru whispered into Wesley's ear, causing shivers to run down the man's spine.

Wesley nervously licked his lips, as he looked up at the beautiful vampire. Why had he never noticed how wonderful she was. "She was a bad guy?" Xander's voice echoed inside Wesley's head with a mix of amusement and sarcasm.

"That's it, I'm bored. In case you haven't figured it out, you belong with her." Strife shouted at Wesley, irritated that he had to supervise the prophecy instead of being alone with Xan.

With a wave of his hand, Xander transported Wesley and Dru to one of the many spare bedrooms, making sure that it was the bedroom furthest from his and Strife's. He wasn't too sure that Strife wouldn't try and kill the Watcher. The last thing he wanted was to spend what was left of his honeymoon trying to find Wesley's scattered particles.

"We're gonna go to bed now. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Xander said to Ethan and Giles as the Gods disappeared in a flash of blue sparks.

*****
Part 7:

Blue sparks illuminated the bedroom as Strife and Xander appeared in the darkened room, with a look the room was covered with small vanilla candles, which added a sensual glow.

Xander stripped himself of his clothes while walking into the adjoining bathroom. He just needed to relax after the craziness of the last two days, and what better way then with a bubble bath.

"Sandalwood and Jasmine bubbles." Xander said aloud, smiling when the bubbles appeared in the bath, he stepped inside and groaned at the feel of the bubbles caressing his skin.

As he leaned back, Xander was happy to see that Strife was in the bath, his pale skin contrasting with Xander's own tanned bronze skin. With a contented sigh he lay back against his love, happy to just be together.

"Oh its great to see that you care so much about me, Xan." Strife's muttered as he looked down and saw that Xander had fallen asleep, exhausted after everything that had happened. Strife could understand it as he was feeling worn out as well. With a thought he teleported the pair to the bedroom and reached for the silk covers. Tightly holding his sleeping husband, Strife closed his eyes ready to join Xander in dreamland.

"Boys get up now, your presence is requested along with your guests." Hera's voice echoed in the minds of the sleeping Gods causing Xander to groan in protest. What was it about the Gods had they never heard of privacy?

Xander stumbled out of bed, moving to give Strife a proper good morning kiss, causing each one to groan before they parted. Neither of them would go against Hera's wishes over such a little matter, it wasn't worth making her annoyed.

"I'll get Dru and Wesley, while you get the others. I'm not letting him near you!" Strife said looking Xander in the eye.

"Sure, I'll meet you at Hera's." Xander replied as the two Gods disappeared from the room in a flash of light.

Xander quickly woke Oz and Angel, pleased to see that the pair had obviously enjoyed themselves, if the bite marks on their necks were any indication. Angel was worn out but happy, judging by the smug grin on his face, not that Xander really cared about him. Looking at Oz closely he was relieved to discover that the younger man was in love with the Angel and that Angel returned his feelings. Xander was pleased that one of his friends had found true love.

With a wave of his hand, Xander woke and dressed the pair, causing the couple to jump in surprise. Xander quickly calmed them down and explained that they had to met Hera, the queen on the Gods. This made the pair more nervous to Xander's amusement.

Xander quickly teleported the group to the main room where Giles and Ethan had spent the night. The couple were wrapped around each other one of the many chairs in the main room, it was clear that they had recently finished an active bout of love making. Moving to Giles, Xander gently shook the man who had been like his father.

"G-Man, get up and wake Ethan. We've got to see Hera and we really don't want to keep her waiting." Xander said, smiling as Giles jumped up in alarm when he realised just who he was going to see.

Once everyone was dressed and somewhat presentable, Xander teleported to Hera's main temple, which was full of beautiful plants many of which hadn't been seen for hundreds of years. Strife appeared with Wesley and Dru, the small group moved to stand with the other mortals. Hera was sitting in the middle of the room on an elegant oak chair.

"Now that everyone is here, I would like to speak to our guests. As you may know you are our Godly descendants. It has been foretold that the Six will bring a new age to Olympus when their Godhoods are granted. You will each receive your Godhood upon your marriages. I take it you all know your destined partner." Hera said as the room changed.

A large red carpet flowed from the front of the temple to the alter in the middle of the temple. Within seconds the room was full of Gods and Goddesses all ready for the upcoming weddings.

"Lets get this over with." Xander said, eager to go on his promised honeymoon.

"Can the six take their place at the alter. Strife and Alexander will have the responsibility of escorting you down the alise." Hera said as she moved to take her place.

With a goofy grin Xander escorted Dru, Angel and Giles down the carpet, happy that his part in the prophecy was almost over. A few minutes later Strife followed with Wesley, Oz and Ethan, part of him wondering where Cupid was. He hadn't seen his brother since he returned to Olympus.

"We are here to join these pairs for eternity. This gold cord symbolises the fact that you will be joined forever." Hera said, as she tied the cord around their waists.

"Who here gives this woman for marriage to this man?" Hera asked, her voice loud and clear.

"I Alexander the God of Mayhem." Xander said, slightly bored.

"Who gives this man for marriage to this woman?" Hera asked.

"I Strife, the God of Mischief." Strife said, at the same time wondering when he could get Xander alone.

Hera quickly moved to the other couples wrapping the cord around their waists before asking the same questions. Taking the waiting ambrosia Hera moved to each of the mortals ordering them to take a drink. After all of them had done so she declared the ceremony complete and the marriage performed.

"For those of you who were vampires, the demon has been removed and is in Hades' realm." Hera said as she removed the golden cords.

"The matter now is that of your Godhoods. Druscilla you will be the Goddess of Childhood and Innocence, Wesley you are the God of the Wronged Souls. Rupert Giles you are the God of Revenge, Ethan Rayne you are the God of Justice. Angelus you are the God of Redemption and Daniel Osborne you are the God of Regret." Hera said as she looked at the happy couple.

There was a flash of sparks as Cupid appeared holding onto someone that appeared familiar to Xander he just couldn't figure out who. As Cupid moved closer his companion became clear causing Xander to stare in amazement.

"Spike and Cupid??" Xander shouted in a mix of shock and disbelief.

The End
