Chapter 6: Gotta Have Girls to the Underworld More Often...

"GODDESS ALL MIGHTY!" Rose shrieked. "This is AMAZING! How did you know what my favorite color was?"

"Just a guess really," Hades said. "It went with your hair, so..."

The dark emeralds that jutted up out of the floor glimmered and cast green light around the room making the room look like it was in the depths of a forest on a sunny day. Gold vines grew around the emeralds making hangers, small leaf sized (and shaped) shelves and a few of the vines made a small swing chair in the corner of the room that hung down from the ceiling. A queen sized bed with wrought iron vines surrounding three sides to make it look like a couch was set into the opposite corner. Seeing as the whole place was made of slate the walls were the same slate gray as the rest of the place but hey, the overall affect was great. But the best aspect of the whole room was the size. The room had to be a 50x100 foot space just big enough to fit Rose and all seven of Rose's pack even if they didn't have a room attached just for them.

The minions really out did themselves.

Even the mutt could fit, which might just come in handy seeing as he's now shapeshifter's best friend... Thought Hades.

Hades was suddenly knocked out of his musings when Rose tackled him into a hug.

"Whaaaa?" Hades gasped out.

"Thank you!" Rose said, looking up at Hades like a small child might look up at a person who gave them their first piece of candy ever. "This must have taken a fortune to build! You didn't have to go this far for me."

"Hey, I may be Lord of the Underworld but I'm also the god of wealth. Besides that, babe, I think your-Boys, are gonna need abit more room than what I had lyin around." Hades said, revealing his trademark grin.

Anything to get those flea bags out o' my hair.

"Well babe love to schmooze for a bit but I'm sure you wanna unpack and all so I'll just be getting out o' here."

"Ah, all right? Thanks again!" Rose called out looking a bit confused, unknowing of what Hades had planed.

"Sure babe, you're welcome." Hades yelled over his shoulder, closing the door behind him. His grin slowly turned into a sneer. "You're very welcome."

"Man, this is great!" Rose said to the wolves surrounding her. "I can't believe he let me have this room!" Setting down here little purse she walked over to her bed and flopped onto the plush mattress. "Mmmmm so good." She groaned, her back re-aligning after her long day. "Well I guess I should get ready for bed, must be at least 11 topside." Rose started to relive herself of her travel clothes an soon she was walking around in her underclothes looking for her purse, not knowing what was going on behind those seemingly harmless, beautiful emeralds.

Hades was in his room, similar to Rose's only with dark sapphires and wrought iron spikes sprouting from the floors and ceiling, looking through the emerald he had brought in from the shifters room. Yeah he was spying. So? That's what girl was there for, to spy on him and report back to his brother, so why not spy back? At least that's what he told himself as he sipped his tequila and relaxing back into his bed. She was not gonna get the drop on him. No way in Tartarus. Now when Hades asked for this piece of emerald he was going to use it for purely wholesome purposes. And while he was looking at it now, he was only testing the hunk of rock to make sure it worked. He was NOT trying to be a perv! As he turned on the emerald a clear image showed up slowly appeared out of the green on the surface of the stone. Sipping his drink he swallowed as he looked over ot the screen. Bad plan. His drink came spewing out of his mouth as he coughed and sputtered trying to clear the alcohol out of his wind pipe. There, on the screen was a very provocative picture of Rose crawling on all fours around her room trying to find her purse. In her underwear. As much as he wanted to Hades just couldn't look away. Rose stood up and looked around looking frustrated. Her perky c cup breasts jiggled a little as she walked over to a small bed side table and checked the drawers. Not finding what she was looking for, she walked over to the bed.

Please no, PLEASE No! Hades thought, a painful bulge growing between his legs. Don't go under the bed!

Rose went under the bed. As she was searching under the mattress her round bum wiggled and twitched as she tried to reach farther back or went in another direction. Letting out a cry of triumph Rose backed out from under the bed with her bag in hand. Donning her nightclothes, Rose quickly slipped into her bed and fell asleep.

Which lasted about five seconds before she awoke to Hades slamming out of the house to jump into the river Styx.

Hades awoke the next morning feeling like his head was gonna split open. As he stumbled down the stairs, he was struck by the sound of people arguing. Most of the racket was being made by the yutzes. No surprise there. The one voice he couldn't quite place was the feminine one. Then it slammed into him like a tone of bricks. It was the girl. Trying to forget the images from last night and chanting Never again. NEVER again. in his head he slunk into the kitchen.

"Hey, good morning! I made you some breakfast if you want it." Called Rose over her shoulder. She looked to be cooking something on the stove.

"Uhhh great! Thanks babe." Hades mumbled, "I got to get working though..." It was true! He was NOT trying to get out of talking to the teen! SO just stop thinking it.

"Thought you might have that problem after our conversation yesterday. Don't worry about it, I got a lot of your paper work done earlier this morning."

"We tried to stop her boss!" Screamed Pain.

"Yeah she just wouldn't leave!" Panic threw in as he smirked. Good now the little girl will get it. Panic had hated the shifter ever since he got smacked over the head after trying to get her out of his boss's seat.

"Boys, boys! If the lady wants to get her hands dirty then let her!" Hades snarled. To be entirely honest he was really happy that the work got done. He got up with his mug of espresso and started toward the door.

"Wait!" Rose said, "Aren't you gonna eat your breakfast?"

"Sorry babe but all work and no fuel, that's Hades." Hades griped. It was still way to early to deal with anyone without burning them to a crisp.

"Well at least take it with you!" Rose demanded, forcing the plate of food into his hands.

"Really Rosy, sugar, babe I'll eat later."

"Take the damn food." Rose bit out. The look on her face could scare Zeus out of his chiton.

"Yes ma'am!" Hades said performing a childish salute and walking out of the room. Yeesh, what's with her. He thought as he got into his accounting and office space. He looked over at the steaming pile of eggs, bacon and toast on his plate. Might as well. He thought sourly. As he took his first bite his eyes widened. The food was fantastic! Soon there was nothing left. And as a bonus, All of his days paper work had been finished and filed! The room looked neater than it had in eons!

I gotta have girls in the underworld more often.

So yeah looks like Rose has got some bite! And Hades shame on you! :D
