Wow, 7 chapters. Nice to know I was able to continue this, knowing there are people who like it. I just got Rune Factory 4 and I'm trying to finish up Tales of Xillia (so much fun). Also, Black Friday sucks. Big time. Anyway, story time, kiddies.

Disclaimer: I do not own Persona 3 Portable, etc., etc., etc.

Characters:
Persephone - Minako
Hades - Theodore
Cerebus - Koromaru

A wave of shock hit the Underworld, followed by confusion, and ending with happiness. He finally heard the words he had been waiting almost seven months to hear. "Minako," he said, pulling her closer. He didn't want to let her go ever again. "Say it again."

"Theo, I-"

"Please. Say it again." He heard her gulp, no doubt shy now that she was aware of the situation.

"I…I love you, Theo. I love you more than anyone else."

"Mitsuru being the exception?"

"Of course!" Minako glanced up and looked surprised to see him smile. Blushing, she reburied her face into his chest. "I'm…sorry I slapped you."

"No. I should be the one to apologize. I tricked you and believe me; it hurt me to do so. I needed to ensure your return. Mitsuru would have kept you away from me longer than six months."

"I would have done my best to have made her let me come back."

"Yes, but I want to keep you by my side for longer than a few hours a month." Minako didn't respond, signaling she knew he was right. "Do you forgive me?" Her silence scared him.

"…Can I go see Koromaru?"

"Of course. He's missed you as much as I have."

"Then I partially forgive you."

"How do I receive your full forgiveness?"

Minako shifted a bit, looking straight into his eyes. "…Kiss me…"

His mind stopped a moment before complying whole-heartedly. Feeling her warm lips against his cold ones, he felt like cheering and jumping for joy. It was a good thing the Underworld drained those urges away or he would have made an absolute fool of himself.

Finally. Finally I have my beautiful queen.

Minako, unsure of what to do next, slowly wrapped her arms around Theo's neck, hoping to bring him even closer. She didn't want to let him go. That is, until one of his hands rested themselves on her chest. The scared girl pushed away. She had not yet given her virtue to a man, human or god.

"What is wrong, my dear?" Theo asked, concern showing.

"I'm just…not ready for "that". I'm sorry."

"Do not apologize. I will not push you. Now that we have more time to be together, we can learn more about each other. But before that." He took her hand. "Let us go see Koromaru."

"Koro!"

The white, fluffy Underworld guardian's six ears perked at the sound of Minako's voice. Koromaru barked and jumped as the girl ran towards him. All three heads wanted to welcome their Queen back with love and affection. Minako laughed and hugged and kissed each head multiple times. Theo stood off to the side, chuckling at the behavior of one of the fiercest creatures he has known.

"I missed you, Koro," Minako said. "Did you miss me?" Each head barked what sounded like "yes". "More than Theo?" The answer was repeated.

"I very much doubt that," the Underworld God replied. "Now, I'll leave you with Koromaru for now. There is some work I must take care of."

"Okay. Um...Theo?"

"Yes, my dear?"

"I...love you."

During the next three months, Minako moved herself into Theo's chambers. She was still a virgin, yes. She just wanted to be closer to her husband now. She stayed as far away as she could from the spirits of the dead. They chilled her body and soul. She preferred the warmth of Koromaru's fur and the comfort of Theo's arms.

The last months of winter came and went, as did the time for Minako to return to Earth. She explained her feelings to her mother in great detail. Mitsuru was not to happy about Theo being the one who stole her daughter, figuratively and literally. However, as long as Minako was happy, she would accept it.

Spring and summer pass. Minako returned to the Underworld on the first day of fall. Nothing too eventful happened within the dark depths. That was until one winter day…

Theo had his cloak around himself and his Queen, making them comfortable in front of a large fireplace he had built for her. To try to imitate the warmth of Earth. He began to kiss her neck, only to be interrupted by a servant demon.

"Lord Theo! A human has entered! A live human!" it cried.

"A live human?" the girl asked as she and Theo stood.

"Yes, milady! He calls himself 'Orpheus'."

What's a Persona 3 fic without Orpheus? He will make an appearance in the next chapter. There are a couple more myths that mention Persephone and Hades. Should I add those into the story or no? I'll do my best to tie it all in, if you all would like to see it. Just believe in the me who believes in the you who believes in me.

Until next time, fellow readers!
