Chapter Ten: Confrontation

Kohaku held onto Shun as they descended into darkness, she looked about as she tried to figure out where the dark god would appear.

"Shun, what ever you do, don't let go of me or else I'll be left alone with him."

"I won't… We'll deal with him together, Kohaku." He said and looked at her sweetly. Right then, the air became chilly as they stood there. Wisps of dark smoke suddenly intertwined around Kohaku and Shun, materializing into the dark monarch who threatened their relationship. Hades wrapped his arms in a seductive manner around Kohaku, smirking at his reincarnate as he held her close to his body.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant visit…? You brought your toy with you, my reluctant queen. Then I can deal with you both. And what a naughty girl you are… I told you that I would harm those close to you if you told anyone, now didn't I?" He chuckled darkly. Kohaku glared at him as she was trying to break away from him.

"You will do no such thing, Hades! Kohaku loves me and you'll never have her!" Shun growled, trying to pull her out of his arms.

"Like you can do anything to stop me, mortal… Your last encounter with me was just luck that you were able to break free from me. Athena's not here to assist either of you and this is no longer a place under your command. She's been yours long enough and I want her to return to my side… Because I don't need you any longer unless I decide to take your body again." She growled faintly as she felt Hades place one of his hands upon her breasts while the other gently encircled about her neck, pinching the hand that was on her torso.

"And I would advise you to NOT touch me there ever again, Hades…!" Shun then pulled her closer to his body, trapping her in between the two almost identical men.

"But you seemed to… Enjoy our previous encounter. Maybe it would be more pleasurable for you if we both play with you, my defiant one… How about it, Shun…? Want to join our little rendezvous…? It might actually teach you more about your so-called beloved then you thought."

"Don't you-!" Hades interrupted Shun by laughing coldly before biting down lustfully on the mark upon her neck.

"I've already tasted and experienced more then you have even encountered with her, Shun. Does that make you enraged because I've…?"

"Enough, Hades! Shun, don't listen to him… He's only trying to get to you. He's only tried forcefully and you helped me escape him. I wouldn't allow myself to-!" She then stopped talking and gasped faintly when Hades shifted his hands to where it was around her waist and gripping very high up on her inner thigh.

"I think that's enough from you, Kohaku… I'm being kind by trying to negotiate with your little pet. If he agrees with my terms then we shall entertain ourselves, but if not… Then I'll force him to watch as I claim what is mine… And you know what I'm talking about, my beloved goddess." He chuckled as Shun glared at him and tried to force him away again. Seeing him trying to defend her so helplessly in this state hurt her deeply.

Kohaku then clamed down and looked up at Shun, making him look at her.

"Shun, do you still trust me right now…?"

"Of course I do… What are you going to do?" She then bit her lip as she broke out of the persistent gods grip, starring into her beloved's green eyes.

"I just figured out what I have to do… Forgive me, Shun…" Kohaku then forced him to let go, removing Shun from the Phoenix Genma Ken as well as her and Hades.

"KOHAKU, NO!" He yelled out before vanishing from the encounter, the last thing he heard was Hades cruel laughter before he awoke. Shun quickly embraced Kohaku's unconscious body as he tried to awaken her like before, failing to do so because she was still trapped by his brother's attack.
