Rayne's POV

"Don't ever let your guard down" I told Nyssa as she and I went about our sparring. "If you do there can be consequences"

I then used my body to push her away from me and my daughter lost her footing and dropped her scythe as she fell to the floor. I placed my spear at her shoulder telling her I won the match.

"Alright you win this time" Nyssa told me with a chuckle. "But I'll be the one who defeats you next match Mom"

"I look forward to it"

I then held my hand out and Nyssa took it. I helped my daughter to her feet and she retrieved her scythe.

"Ah sparring again are we?" Hades greeted coming into the room we used to train with one another.

"Yep and Mom beat me this round" Nyssa answered.

"Where have you been mate I felt you were gone from the Underworld for a little while" I asked my husband.

"I had a meeting as a matter fact I have someone I want you guys to meet"

Nyssa and I looked to one another and we shrugged before she, Hades, and I transported ourselves to the throne room. Standing proudly before us was none of the than the mistress of all evil Maleficent. Immediately Nyssa growled while I placed a hand onto her shoulder making her calm down. Growing up I never liked Maleficent. For one thing she was a sad excuse for a dragon shifter and two I just didn't like her.

"Girls this is Maleficent" Hades introduced us.

"We're aware Dad" Nyssa said. "Why is she here?"

"I see you don't like me" Maleficent spoke finally. "That's understandable"

"Let's cut to the chase" I began. "What do you want?"

"She supplied these beauties" Hades answered and with a snap of his fingers various black creatures with yellow eyes appeared.

"What the f**k?" Nyssa protested.

"Heartless" I stated. One Heartless got close to me and I snarled shooting my phoenix fire at it. My flames destroyed the creature and a heart emerged from it after its demise. Maleficent suddenly chuckled and I looked to her.

"What's so funny?" I inquired.

"Your fiery spirit Goddess of Resurrection" Maleficent responded. Maleficent then turned to Hades. "We'll meet again soon"

And with that she disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Let me guess you allied yourself with her in exchange for the Heartless?" I asked my husband.

"For the time being, I just wanted some new monsters to take Hercules down"

"She better watch herself" Nyssa growled again. "I don't like her"

"Neither do I" I agreed.

A Few Days Later.

Hades POV

Me and my fellow evil associates watched as the Keyblade wielder take down a pretty decent Heartless. To my utter annoyance Jafar was part of the group. I was never fond of him to begin with and if he tried to hit on my wife again he was dead meat. Before us was a hologram of the Keyblade wielder with two of the King's lackeys.

"That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it?" I asked rhetorically.

"Such is the power of the Keyblade" Jafar followed. "The child's strength is not his own"

"Why don't we turn him into a Heartless?" Ursula suggested before she cackled. "That'll settle things quick enough"

"And the brat's friends are the King's lackeys" the annoying Captain Hook added. "Swoogle me eyes they're all bilge rats by the look of them"

"You're no prize yourself" Oogie Boogie taunted the pirate followed by a laugh.

"Shut up!" Hook snapped at Oogie Boogie.

"Enough" Maleficent called out. "The Keyblade has chosen him, will it be he who conquers the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow him? Either way he could be quite useful"

Using her magic Maleficent stopped the projection. The others headed back to their respective world's except me, Jafar, and Maleficent.

"So tell me Hades how is that lovely Rayne doing?" Jafar asked me. He had that smug smirk on his face which I didn't like.

"LISTEN YOU!" I snapped grabbing a hold of his collar. My hair went orange in anger. "SHE'S OFF LIMITS! WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE SHE'S MARRIED TO ME!"

"Calm down Hades there's no need for getting upset" Maleficent said.

"Yeah try telling that to Jafar" I growled releasing Jafar.

"My apologies had I known Rayne was your wife, I wouldn't have suggested I took a fancy to her" Jafar told me.

"Nice try, Rayne told me you tried to hit on her after your failed scheme from before, do it again and I'll let Rayne deal with you"

Back in Underworld/Throne Room.

Rayne's POV

"Ha! I would have loved seeing Jafar's face when you got angry at him" I told my beloved after he returned from his meeting. Nyssa was up and about doing her goddess rounds while Hades and I finished with some of our own tasks. Earlier a dead soul pleaded with me to bring him back to life but once I found out he did some pretty bad things did I decline his offer and Hades dealt with him.

"I think he will back off now" Hades reassured me.

I chuckled before placing myself in my husband's lap. Immediately Hades smirked and he wrapped both of his arms around my waist.

"You know I belong to you mate and no one else" I told the Lord of the Dead.

"Damn right" Hades agreed. "Sometimes I forgot how lucky I am"

"Ya know there's a video of you on YouTube where you try to court Maleficent"

"Uh no thanks" Hades answered immediately. "Maleficent isn't my type"

"Oh really? And what is your type husband?" I teased him sliding my hand up his arm in a playful manner.

"Let's just say I go for a woman who is not only beautiful both ways, she's also funny, temperamental like mwah, can sing beautifully, and has a bit of sass"

"Sounds like I fit the bill"

"Bingo babe" Hades confirmed. My beloved then kissed my cheek making me giggle a bit.

"The way you laugh like that is hot babe" Hades teased. He then sent me a suggestive image through our mate bond and I slapped his shoulder.

"Maybe later Hothead"

"Aww come on babe it's been a good while since we last had good sex"

"Lower your voice I'm pretty sure Nyssa doesn't want to hear about our intimate moments"

"By the way has she come to you about that recently?" Hades asked.

Hades and I gave our daughter the birds and the bees talk not long after her thirteenth birthday. At that age dragon shifters females became interested in said subject.

"No she hasn't and it isn't our business unless she has questions, remember how you passed out when she started her first period?"

"Oi that wasn't fun" Hades muttered with a face palm.

"You're a guy love, remember us women have to carry a child for nine months and then endure labor"

"When you went into labor with Nyssa it broke my heart seeing you in pain babe" Hades suddenly stated.

"Having you there alongside my mother helped me" I answered my husband. "And the pain was worth it because we have a beautiful daughter"

"Yeah it was worth it" Hades agreed. "It's just hard to believe she's not a kid anymore"

"One day we might get grandkids what do you think of that?" I asked the Lord of the Dead with a nudge.

"Oi I don't even want to think of that right now" he replied.

I chuckled at that remark.
