Everybody has Problems

A/N: I'm having major writer's block and my editor is like RARRR! So I have to come up with something, but I already have the plot in my head thanks to the MRT, which does magic to your imagination. Really I recommend you to ride it. (Just not at the rush hour or else you'll probably die!)
P.S. This is for you Neri! (or should I say Sephie?) I love you! XD

"Yes Shuichi. I hear you. Uhuh. Yah. Yah. I know what you mean, no I understand. Yah. Yah. Yuki loves you. Yah. See you tomorrow."
He always calls the day before of our session. sigh Why did I give him my cell phone number?! Why?!
'Regret always comes in the end.'
I checked my watch. It's 7:15pm.
'I'm already on overtime. I should have been out an hour ago.'
Jen told me I still had one client left but he didn't specify when he would meet me.
'Too bad for him. I'm bored and I'm missing my show for nothing.'
I packed up my stuff and shut down my computer. Jen already left an hour ago, she was complaining that she still hurt from the burn Jaken gave her.
'Drama queen…'As I stepped out into the darkness, I felt a chill run down through my spine. It was so dark, which was unusual for a business district.
'Did somebody like die?'Shrugging the eerie feeling off I made my way down to the parking lot. Then I froze. ' Are those horses?' I peered at the darkness. I tried to focus my eyes, only to see a chariot with those horses.
'What century are we in anyway?'I shook my head and headed to my motorcycle, before I see anything I wouldn't want to see. Weird things tend to happen to me.
"Aren't we suppose to have an appointment?" came a voice from out of nowhere. I told you, weird stuff happens to me. All the time. So you really can't blame me when I screamed like the devil is after me. (Though by now, I should be used to this kind of things.)
"Our appointment." Said the voice, which I now know, came from a man wearing an all-black outfit. 'Black Leather?'
Suddenly I remembered the mysterious client then my fear became anger. "So you're the guy who wanted to have special treatment! The one who didn't specify what time we will meet!"
My anger was met with a dead expression. "I told your secretary I'll come when it's dark."
'Oh give me a break! I'll come when it's dark...la di da!'"You could've been more specific! Pardon for my behavior sir, but I may not look like it I AM tired. You can't expect that I wait for you! I have a LIFE!"
Suddenly a voice rang through the lot. "Hades! Hades! Where are YOU?! Sephie needs you!" The voice didn't sound far from where we were standing. This particularly concerned my "visitor".
"By Zeus! She's here! Please doctor I'll pay you triple. Let's just go to your office."
Love makes the world go round. Money makes Love make the world go round. So at the word triple my anger faded away. (You can't blame me a truckload of ice cream is expensive.)
I directed him to the office, though all the while he kept looking back to see if anyone was following us.
'Weird.'
I made a mental note of checking if he has paranoia. So I could just give him medication. I grabbed his file that Jen left me from my desk and my mouth gaped open.
'HADES?! The Lord of the Underworld Hades? Crap. Just my luck, shout at the lord of the Underworld.'
Nervously I asked him to sit down on the couch.
"Umm… Let me introduce myself properly, I am Dr. Rin Ciacco. I'm sorry for my behavior a while ago. I just got scared when… when you suddenly someone spoke to me." I stammered
"It's alright. You were right anyway, I should've specified the time."
"Well let's begin. Why exactly did you come?"
"Believe it or not, someone's stalking me."
Now that. That, made me want to laugh out loud. Come on someone STALKS the lord of the underworld. But of course, I have to remain professional.
"But shouldn't you be reporting this to the police? Report him or her?"
"My problem is not purely stalking its that I like it and I don't like it."
"I don't get what you're saying."
"My sentiments exactly! I'm shocked at the attention she's giving me butI am a man and.. and…" he agitatedly answered.
'hmm that's odd. He can't even finish a sentence.'
'Ahah!' "You like her but you don't like her is that it?"
"Yes you got it!"
"It doesn't make sense."
"Yes I know that. That's why I'm here. I swallowed my pride and clearly broke my word that I shall never go up again just so YOU could make sense out of it."
That little speech got me going maybe just maybe I'll do this cause I want to help, not just for the money.
"Start with the beginning. When did this all start?"
(A/N: nyah hah hah start with the beginning! Gosh I sound stupid!)
"I toured my vast kingdom I saw that the spirits were not happy. Upon inquiry the spirits said that the environment looked dead, no joke intended, so I went up. I know better than to meddle with things I have no knowledge of. So I went to ask my sister Demeter if she could help. She was not there, I was redirected to her daughter Persephone." Hades shifted in his seat
'must be getting to the uncomfortable moment.'
"I came in and saw a beautiful woman who was strangely enough hugging trees. I cleared my throat and she stared at me. She started… started to…"
"Hit on you?"
"Yes." Hades ducked down his head embarrassed.
'I can see why… Oh my! What am I thinking!'" Why does it bother you so much?"
"I'm her UNCLE!"
"Oh. Then never come back up."
"No use she made Zeus call upon me EVERYDAY!"
sigh 'even the Gods have problems…'
"I thought you liked the attention."
He looked up to me. "You haven't been stalked have you?"
"Well I get harassed on the phone…"
He just sighed.
"Try spending time with her."
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
"Think of it this way, if she sees anything disagreeable in you she'll stop. Or maybe you'll like her."
"Not in a million years will I-"
I raised my hand to silence him. 'O gawd I just silenced a GOD!'
"Come on try it."
He stood up and said "Well for your sake and mine you better be right."
'Great I now have a reservation in Tartarus.'
"Well see you next week."
"Yes." And out he goes.
'I'm so cool! A god goes to see me now.'
