In death we don't part...

Xena woke to the feel of cold water splashing on her face. She couldn't understand why she could

feel the rain. Didn't she and Gabrielle stay in a tavern last night? Yes she remembered getting

into a small village last night, just after nightfall and deciding to get a room. She slowly

opened her eyes to try and understand what the hell was going on. What she saw surprised her, well

let's just say it surprised her a lot.

"Ares?" Smiling down at her was the one and only god of war. But what this didn't look like

the room she had gone to sleep in last night.

"Hello Xena sorry about the water but shaking you wasn't working!" Then in a flash of blue he

disappeared. At this point Xena was more then a little confused. She went to sit up but something

was stopping her. When she looked down she realised that she was chained from the waist, arms by

her side and legs securely joined too. Now she was worried, and finally noticing what she was

wearing for the first time didn't help. A tight leather what could only be described as a boob

tube and a very short leather skirt. All black of course just Ares style.

"ARES!" Xena bellowed to the empty room knowing that he could hear her perfectly well. A flash of

blue and he reappeared right next to the bed she was lying on, hand wavering dangerously close

to her exposed midriff.

"You rang my dear?"

"What the fuck is going on, where am I, what am I doing here and where is Gabrielle?" The blonde

bard, Xena's 'sidekick' was, as far as Xena could tell absent from this little get together.

Ares sat down on the bed and laid his hand casually on Xena's waist. She flinched but being

restrained meant that there wasn't much she could do about it.

"Well... lets do this question by question. No1 'What the fuck is going on?' Well that's easy, you

are here as my prisoner because well it's the only way you would be with me. No2 'Where am I?'

You are in my secret lair, but because it's secret I'm not going to tell you where it is...yet.

And No4 (because no3 is pretty much covered in no1) 'Where is annoying blonde girl.' Well she's

where you left her I suppose. Don't worry I haven't touched her, wouldn't want to. Well maybe but..

no, anyway back to the point. Yes still asleep in that cheesy tavern." Xena was so bewildered

by the turn of events that she had stayed silent just staring at Ares the whole time. Finally

snapping out of her gaze her eyes narrowed to the slits and using ultimate Xena death glare

she leaned closer to Ares.

"You son of a.. you bastard you think keeping me here against my will is going to changed my

mind about you. I can't believe what an idiot you are. Gods Ares let me go and forget about me.

We are over its never gonna happen!" Ares just rolled his eyes. Clicking his fingers a thick

piece material appeared leaning close to Xena's face he gently lifted her head up. Quickly he

tied the makeshift gag around her head. Xena burbled obscenities from underneath cursing herself

and Ares.

"I don't care whether you will change your mind or not what matters is I have you. Now I can

either make your stay pleasurable serving at my side or a miserable existence serving under me.

Umm now that is a nice thought." he rubbed Xena's bare belly with one hand while the other he

pulled her by her hair until her face was right next to his. "You will learn to worship me

again whether even if it takes forever. Because well baby I got forever and believe me I can

make it seem like that for you to." and then in a flash of blue smoke he was gone. Xena slumped

back onto the bed. Knowing that this time Ares may have infact won.

Gabrielle had woke up in the tavern to find Xena gone and in her place was a piece of parchment

reading nearly gave Gabrielle a heart attack. Ares had Xena and wasn't going to give her back

Xena agreed to become his wife. He was beyond crazy. Gone was the time when he wanted Xena just as

his warlord, now he wanted Xena to marry him. He even went, as far as to say that he loved her.

She re read the letter.

"Hey Gabrielle, bet your wondering what happened to your beloved Xena, well she's mine. I've taken

her to Olympus until she agrees to marry me. I love her and you keep getting in the way. So forget

about Xena your never gonna see her again. Been amusing knowing

you bye. ARES THE GOD OF WAR!" Gabrielle sat there are cried for what seemed like days just

not knowing what to do. She re read Ares letter until finally an idea popped into her head.

She knew what she needed to do!

Ares stood in the doorway of the room that he was holding Xena. He regretted what he had done. He

truly loved Xena but she didn't want him so he figured that if he couldn't have her then no one

would, least of all that horrid half brother of his Hercules. What an idiot! Ares knew he loved

Xena just as much as did but come on Hercules or the god of war!!! Ares had been

standing there for ages just watching Xena. At first she struggled with the chains trying to

find a weakness but of curse there wasn't any, now she had fallen asleep, exhausted by the

continual resistance. He knew that as soon as he entered the room she would wake. Xena was

the only mortal who could feel his presence. It was her amazing abilities that had attracted

her to him in the first, of course her good looks had helped! He grinned to himself, they would

look so good together he was and knew it the most gorgeous of all the gods. Xena herself had

told him that on a few occasions. A flash of yellow behind him let Ares know that Aphrodite was

there.
