recap:

"I'll think about moving when I feel like it okay?" Nobunaga said, curling his arms around her, yawning and laying his head on her shoulder. "Hades, my love. You must be tired...rest now. You've found me. I'm here for you now," Persephone said, her soothing voice seemingly put the male to sleep, Lucile's hand moving on its own to gently rub his head. Slowly, with her back to the door, her body slid down and the scholar sat on the floor, Nobunaga's head resting on her shoulder, the sound of quiet breathing filling her ears. Lucile sighed and looked up at the ceiling, mentally asking why her before looking down at the peaceful expression that didn't seem to fit someone like Nobunaga/Hades. After what he showed her earlier, how pissed he can get, she didn't think he really had it in him to appear soft and innocent. But here she was, gently running her hand through his hair and singing a soft tune to him.

chapter : 02

Nobunaga woke up to a soft tongue licking his hand, groaning slightly and turning to see it was only Mazikeen doing the licking. The pup stopped and looked up at Nobunaga, barking a little only for her owner to groan from where she slept. "Maze shut it!" she yelled, half-asleep and awake, her laptop opened to a screen the Underworld King couldn't really read well from his spot on the couch. Standing to his feet, Nobunaga walked to her bed and sat beside her, gently rubbing her head and taking a quick look at the laptop's screen. Voltron S.1 - Episode 3 was what the tab said, being viewed on Netflix's website. He and the Oda Forces - as they were respectfully called - often used the site whenever they all got together for a small viewing party. They weren't really parties, but that's what Masamune insisted on calling them.

"Hmm...I feel...a large hand on my head," Lucile said in her sleep, turning to lay on her back and swatting at Nobunaga's hand. "Isso soft and fluffy...but rough at the same time." The ravenette couldn't help but chuckle at the show she was putting on unknowingly, acting the complete opposite of how she acted earlier on in the day. Just like it seemed to surprise her when he raised his voice, it surprised him to see her become this soft, gentle person versus the well-aware and on-edge girl she was like earlier today. Sighing to himself, Nobunaga stood to his feet and walked to the kitchen, reaching into the fridge for something to eat. Though he wasn't really up for it, he grabbed a bag of chips and went to plop back down on the couch, looking at Maze being, well, a puppy. She wasn't the brightest, to say the least, but it was nice to watch her as entertainment for now before his thoughts trailed off.

Now that he had found her - his lover Persephone - what was he to do? Bed her, wed her, simply be there for her? What could and will he do, not only that, what will he be allowed to do? Lucile wasn't the typical "Oh my I'm the reincarnation of a Greek Goddess and my lover is not only a damn right sexy model but he's also Hades" type girl - she wasn't going to let him have his way with her from what he's seen so far. That ideal was long since off the table from when he first met her.

A small whimper and quiet grunt broke him from his train of thought, carnelian red eyes glancing over at the college scholar rubbing gently at her eyes. It was only 5:08 am and yet she was already awake from slumber. Standing to his feet, he started to walk over until her sleepy-voice stopped him. "Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be at home now?" Lucile questioned with a yawn, continuing to rub the sleep from her eyes. "I don't necessarily have to answer any of your questions, Lucile," Nobunaga responded back, continuing to walk over even as she stood up, holding onto a taser. "First pepper spray and now a taser? It seems to me that you are trying to train me."

"What else can I do? When you start acting like a dog without a leash - an untrained one at that - I have no choice but to treat you as such. Now, go home or else I'll scream bloody mary." The ravenette quietly chuckled to himself before grasping her arm that held the taser, using his power to make her drop the offensive item. "Scream all you want Lucile, I'll make sure those screams are mistaken for something else." Though it did take a while to understand just what the hell he was hinting at, Lucile felt chills run up and down her spine like crazy before she stricken him, watching him blink before he glared down at her.

"What did I-"

"Keep being a damn pervert and watch I don't do more than strike you, Nobunaga. Now get the hell out of my dorm." Without another word, the inhuman male tightened his grip before soon letting go, turning his back and walking to the door where his coat and shoes were. Not once looking back, Nobunaga opened the door and bid her farewell without truly saying 'Goodbye'.

"Hey, earth to dingus! Lucile! The hell you spacing out for?!" Mari yelled, snapping as hard as she could in front of her space cadet for a friend's face, watching as the strawberry blonde shook her head and finally snapped out of her thoughts. "Huh? What is it? What did I miss?"

"I really want to slap the living hell outta ya sometimes, but I won't because I love you," the auburn-haired female said with a deep sigh, her bluebell eyes staring - almost glaring - at her friend from behind their own personally glass window. "But you don't sometimes, so thank you for that and I love you too baby."

"Ew, disgusting. Stop yourself before you wreck yourself."

"Okay I just called you baby, and it's suddenly disgusting knowing good and damn well you got a thing for that," Lucile said, easily dodging a piece of bread headed her way. "Are you trying to kink shame me? Because if it's shaming that we're gonna do, let's start with the fact that you let some random dude in your place when you haven't even let your crush in there." Lucile choked on her coffee as she froze up, her skin growing pale. Looking up, her emerald green eyes stared into bluebell ones hidden behind a glass frame, watching as the looked indifferent compared to the expression that was very much there in her own.

"Did you really see that?"

"Yeah, and he apparently took you to the hospital that same day and also had a little run-in with you at the supermarket. What is he to you, and when will I get introduced as your lesbian crush?"

"Mari cut the bs, no one is meeting no one." A chill suddenly ran down her spine, and before she could even bring it up, a large hand rested itself on her shoulder. "I believe it's too late for that...Lucile," Nobunaga said, his voice still holding malice towards the event that happened before he was rudely kicked out of her dorm room. "And I never would've thought you'd be the girl to swing both ways."

"That is actually none of your damn business," Lucile said, not really up for dealing with and addressing him. "I have to get to class now Mari. See you later?"

"Yeah, see ya later," Mari said, sipping her tea as she watched the scene before her unfold. Nobunaga glanced down at Lucile, who had not looked up at him once, before tightening his grip on her shoulder. "You're not going anywhere. I need to speak with yo-"

"It can wait," The college scholar stated abruptly, cutting him off before he could finish his statement. And the longer this treatment continued to go on, the more pissed he ended up being. Quickly, however, Lucile pulled away from him with her drink and bag in hand before rushing off to where her "class" was, which was really her trying to get the hell away from Nobunaga without any trouble. But luck just was never on her side, and she could hear clearly the sound of footsteps and screaming fans behind her. 'I just want to be left alone! Can't I just spend some time alone?! I basically spent a whole day with him yesterday and yet he isn't going anywhere!' Eventually, she stopped walking, realizing that if she didn't speak to him at least that his mood would only get worse and he'd be tempted to make her "regret" the choice she made.

Nobunaga stopped in front of her, glaring down at her with carnelian eyes that flashed a vibrant red from time to time. "You finally stopped running away," he said, suddenly being cocky despite how pissed he was. "I wonder what made you stop."

"Leave me alone! I gave you basically the rest of my damn time yesterday, knowing I had two exams today that I needed to study for! Instead of doing what I needed to do, I had to watch over your dumbass who - by the way - is heavy as fuck!"

"You shouldn't be such a comfortable pillow then, Persephone." Lucile fumed and clutched her drink, the contents of the cup soon spilled all over the ground from her tightened grip. "Stop calling me Persephone!" Lucile threw the cup at him, some of what was left stained his high-end clothing. "I don't care who I am, what I am, or whatever at this point! I'm stressed enough as is because of deadlines, exams, and now you to where I have had enough! Go find someone else to play Greek Goddess with-"

If the crowd of excited fans was not already silent, watching on with anticipation, then they sure as hell was quite now.

Widened emerald eyes stared at raven tresses that clouded her vision, a large hand on the back of her neck while the other held her face. Smooth, yet rough lips engulfed her own, a pesky little appendage asking and getting permission unwillingly to roam her warm cavern. Lucile raised her hands to push him off, but she could easily sense the hunger and longing desire in the unexpected kiss that she started to stop. She started to close her eyes and accept what was happening until her senses came back, and she gathered the strength to bite down hard on his tongue. Nobunaga pulled back and glared at her while Lucile's face darkened over time.

"Disgusting...you're absolutely disgusting," Lucile whispered, grabbing the cup and disposing of it in a nearby trash can before walking off with the lingering feeling of his lips bothering her.

Nobunaga sighed as he looked out the window, sitting down beside it despite being in the studio for a photo shoot. "Disgusting...you're absolutely disgusting." It constantly rang in his head, causing him to feel disgusted - surprisingly. Had he simply covered her mouth with his hand, or shove some food in her mouth, she wouldn't have reacted the way she did.

"My fault...No, it's both of our faults," he mumbled to himself, sighing once more before turning his attention to the very worried Hideyoshi. "What is it?"

"Is she bothering you, Lord Hades?"

"That should be none of your concern."

"But I-" Hideyoshi stopped himself when he saw his Lord's carnelian eyes flicker the way they did whenever he was irritated or worse - enraged. "Yes, my lord."

"Quit calling me 'Hades' out in public. You'll only stir up trouble if you continue to do so."

"Yes...Nobunaga," Hideyoshi said with a slight bow, walking towards the women who were calling him over. The Underworld God groaned and looked at his phone, remembering that he had taken the chance when presented to him to get her number but have yet to actually text her. He even went as far as to put his in her contacts - name and all - in case she needed him. "Seems like that won't be the case today," he mumbled yet again under his breath. Tilting his head back, the God could only wonder what exactly Lucile was doing.

Lucile sighed and wiped down a table, her thoughts clouding every single fiber in her head, the feeling of his lips still lingered on her own. Anger slowly rose inside of her, but quickly dispersed when her boss walked over, worry written all over his face. "I told you, when you walked in the staff only section, to go home and yet, here you are working your ass off making an expression like that."

"Sorry boss...having a hard time with a few things," the college scholar replied, sweeping back a few fleeting strands of hair that fell from the style she had her hair held back in. "You know I'm like your father away from home, so if there's anything you need to talk about, I'm here for you kid." Lucile looked back and smiled at him, before looking at the door with that same smile. Walking over, she proceeded to greet the customer when he grabbed her chin and lifted it up so her eyes could stare at his differently colored ones.

"You tried so hard to hide...but this little game of hide and seek is over now Persephone."

sorry, if you are in the eastern, central, or mountain time zone. my lazy ass forgot to update on saturday like i was supposed to, so to make it up i'll double upload again! and since winter break is coming up, i might update friday and saturday instead of just saturday. who knows, don't hold me to that now. but other than that, we have a new character introduced! i want to base his character around a god as well but i'm not sure which one, considering this guy is very very coldblooded compared to nobunaga. he's a blood hungry machine.
