LefthandedFreak: Yeah, this is really short. Sorry. I'm always in a hurry, aren't I. And, I'm being distracted again. (Growls)

Joey: But today, we found out who did it!

LefthandedFreak: (jumps up and down) Yeah for me! I haven't really expected anyone to get who it was because they where only mentioned….can't tell. So read and see. Now, for the reviews!

And now you may release that violence! I'm happy that my cliffy was really good. I've always thought that would be my downfall. I hope you enjoy this!

All praise the mighty four! Hopefully they'll be able to save Fate with time to spare for a little… (whispers in Joeys ear who immediately turns Scarlet)

Joey: Lefthand!

LefthandedFreak: (giggles) anyway! Onto the story cause I can't resist.


"Persephone!" Aphrodite was starring at Hades wife, a nasty smile on her face.

"I'm glad you know who I am. Those who saw me leave that night confused me for Fate…of course, that could also be because of my hair." The woman twirled a piece of her, which suddenly changed to a brown color before it went back to its original. "I always new this little ability would come in handy."

"Why'd you do it? Why did you kill Hades?" Persephone grimaced

"I hadn't at first intended to kill him…until, that is, he threatened to leave me during one of our rare arguments and instead of talking to me about, where does he go? Straight to earth to see her." Her fists shook with rage. "She took everything from me! Everyone had a role of importance but not me! I had no special task; I was just an attachment, the wife of Hades! When the real Fate died I did everything in my power to make sure the position would pass to me!"

Aphrodite raised a brow, "I wondered why you where so persistent for the job." Yami gave a questioning glance at Aphrodite.

"Wait, the original Fate? Fate's not the real Fate?" The other three guys looked at him as he shrugged.

Persephone smiled. "Yes. The real Fate died in a little accident on earth. Of course, some things need a little push, don't you think?"

"You killed her too?" Aphrodite looked like she was staring at a crazy woman, which, technically, she was but Persephone took no notice, as she seemed to look past them, a dreamy look on her face.

"I remember how happy I felt once I got rid of her. See, if I were to receive her position after her death, I would be one of the important ones. She was the only one who saw past my calm persona and didn't care for me. She never treated me nice. Pity, maybe she'd still be here if she did". She frowned at this. "But then Hades had to ruin it."

"The day Hades brought in Fate" Persephone didn't even seem to notice that Aphrodite had spoken.

"At first I thought that he had just taken pity on her, maybe keep her as a daughter of sorts after her mothers brutal murder. He even destroyed her ability to feel since she had begged him to stop her pain. But then he had to suggest to the high and mighty", she jerked her head violently, eyes finally landing on them, "that it would be better to make her Fate since she wasn't born as a higher being. Tacking the job would immediately include her into, what one might call, our hive."

Aphrodite frowned, "And he agreed of course." Persephone growled and began to pace.

"He destroyed what I had so desperately dreamed to have. But then again, Hades seemed to be so happy that I first decided to let it go. He was always caring for her, making sure that she would succeed in her new job, that eventually he stopped seeing me altogether."

"So then I went to you, Aphrodite, for your advice, hoping that you would help me be rid of her. Of course, you disagreed against my violent behavior and told me to let it go, he'd be finished training her and spend more time with me. I didn't like it so I left." Persephone stopped pacing.

"I started a new plan to get rid of her but you ruined that, Aphrodite, when you became worried for her safety and talked to Hades. He agreed to let you take care of her and went back to me…but he never did stop talking about her."

"And now look what you've done" Persephone smirked at Kaiba's remark.

"I know. And I haven't been happier. Now that Hades knows how I've felt for years and Fate close to her own demise I can finally get what I've always wanted. A place of importance." She sighed as if sad and slid her hand underneath a cabinet, pulling out a long blade. "And now that you know the truth, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave here alive."


LefthandedFreak: Ending it there for now. I just came up with something I haven't thought of and will be sure to add it. Until then…adios.
