Chapter 10

A/n: K I thought you guys needed an update so here you go…I'm kinda feeling sick so bare with me.

Dev woke up bright and early with her g-pa (who is a mailman). As she sat at the kitchen table they chatted awhile about different topics but the longest was obviously about the situation, and the second was bowling. They talked about how Okane has been driven crazy and how their g-ma was going to try and get custody of her so she could get Okane some major therapy and much needed help for her problems.

"I really hope she doesn't try to bring another teenager into this house," their grandpa complained, ever since Cate had been living there he's had no say in what goes on in HIS house.

"Yeah, plus there's no way Okane will want to she'll be off in Japan with Kurama the whole time," Dev added, which brought on the next topic…Kurama. "Where is Kurama usually he's up with us. Dev excused herself and headed for Kurama and Conner's room. To her surprise they weren't there, "WHERE ARE THEY?"

WITH OKANE

"So where are we headed?" Kurama questioned as they walked further and further away from Athens. The dirt on the road came more and more dusty, it was now almost impossible to tell where they were going. Also with the dust came much heat, Kurama felt like he was in a sauna.

"We are going to go visit someone," Okane said smiling looking from Conner whom was attached to her hand to Kurama.

They walked about another mile or so and the heat and dust didn't decrease it only increased until finally Okane stopped and Kurama ran into her from behind. "We're here?"

"Yep this is it," Okane said staring at a swamp that looked very murky and a dark puke green. It had steam rising from one point in the middle and what looked like a skeleton with a canoe rowing towards them.

"What in the heck?" Kurama almost shouted as the skeleton came closer.

"Exactly," Okane said for no apparent reason.

"What is that?" Conner said softly unlatching from Okane and moving behind Kurama.

"That's our ride," she said as cheery as ever.

As soon as the canoe approached the stench of dead was brought upon them and Kurama couldn't help but gag. The man that stood in front of them was no man at all it was in fact a skeleton.

The skeleton had green gunk on his rib cage and weaved through his eyes and nose was a snake that never seemed to move. He wore a tattered suit and a top hat; he looked like a gloomy groom. He didn't seem friendly at all because of the way his mouth was frozen. It was like an angry grin. "What are you doing?" He spoke in a grouchy, gruff voice his mouth never moving.

"We've come to see Hades," Okane said in her own tough tone.

"He doesn't want to see the likes of you humans in his underworld, he requests you to leave before something happens," the skeleton warned.

"He doesn't want to see me? TAKE US NOW" Okane said taking Conner from behind Kurama and heaving him around her waist and reached for Kurama.

"I don't think…" Kurama started before Okane pulled them into the swamp. They were now swimming among the dead in the river sticks. Even though none harmed them most looked at the humans in terrible vicious manner. Conner let out a tiny sob and dug his head into Okane's collarbone as he tightly squeezed her around the neck so that she didn't let him go. Finally they came out of the water and slowly went with the current of the river until they saw Hades up ahead.

Okane with her one open arm swam to the side of the river and grabbed the riverbank; Kurama had beaten her up and then with swift smoothness lifted Okane and Conner up to where he was. Miraculously they weren't wet.

Okane passed Conner onto Kurama who let him walk on his own and continued to follow Okane to Hades.

Hades sat in what looked like a conference room with a large glass table with a map of all Greece on it. He sat at the head of it and at the other end were three men that almost looked attached by the sides. He was listening intensely to these Siamese triplets known as the Fates; they were talked about future occurrences with the underworld ruler. Over in the corner unnoticed by many were the two most dumb, highly thought of demons of Hades court. Their names were Pain and Panic.

Okane walked into the room with confidence determined not to be crushed. "HECK, what do you think you're doing sending some overrate skeleton telling me that we can't enter into Hell?" She shouted at him.

"I told you it's not Heck its Hades, and I don't want you here cause well let me put it mildly you annoy the deadly night lights out of me," he said as cold hearted as he could.

"That's no excuse if someone wants to visit this place Heck let them visit, you should start a tour through hell," Okane said in thought of it.

"Ugh… its useless don't even start with me Aphrodite," Hades moaned thoroughly t-od. He held his head in frustration and slowly let it drop down his face.

"Don't "ugh!" at me; I come for your help and assistance in the biggest thing in all the history of anything ever done before. It's bigger then that Hitler guy your trying to create. By the way how is he coming?"

"He's doing fine we are just retuning him, but what in the Hades are you talking about?"

"I'm doing something and I need your help," Okane said putting her hand out behind her hoping Kurama will grab it to help comfort her. He slipped his hand into hers as soon as he saw her do it, he figured she wanted comfort and he was more then willing to give it to her.

Hades hair quickly went out, "Pain, Panic hurry."
Pain became a fire stick and Panic stumbled over to Hades and relit his head. As their reward they were thrown into the closets wall.
