Author's note: Oh gawd, Harpy Valentine is an Aquarian! [I was reading his profile so that he would not go out of character Lol] Aquarius X Aquarius Chapter! Then Gleed X Hades! :D

Chapter 8: Beauty Beyond Words

The silver and bronze saint, with the help of the other spectres, tried to calm their fuming superiors. Athena was too surprised to do anything but gawk at the destruction caused by the males. Hades merely brought a sketch pad and started sketching the scene before him. The gods of sleep and death did not bother to stop the growing havoc.

While everyone was busy, Valentine lead Gleed into a garden and let her sit on one of the benches. He smiled when Gleed sighed in relief. "You seem to be the lady of the night, Miss Gleed," he commented.

"It was supposed to be Athena-sama's or Pandora's night," the female muttered. She smiled and motioned for her savior to sit. "Once again, Harpy, you saved my life [or sanity] from those idiots." Black eyes stared at Gleed. This made the female blush and turn around. "Um, if you don't~!"

Harpy hugged her from behind. He placed his head on her shoulder and gave it a light kiss. "I've never felt this way ever since I became one of Hades-sama's Spectres," he whispered.

Gleed knew what the other Aquarian meant. Her face turned red, as red as Scorpio's apples. She struggled to get out. "Ha-Harpy, this is not the time or even the place to do that!" she panicked. "I'm not even the right person!"

The male lifted the female easily and place him on his lap. Their position now is that Gleed was forced to straddle Harpy. With the gown limiting the teal haired female's 'leg space', Harpy slit the side until it showed most of Gleed's smooth legs. "I'm sorry, Miss Gleed."

The female placed her hands on the black haired male's face and breathed on his left ear. Chills run down the male's spine. "Diamond Dust," Gleed whispered.

Black eyes widened when snowflakes started to appear from the warm night and attach themselves to his clothes. "Aquarius!" he gasped as he threw the female off of him and jumped back.

Gleed somersaulted away and stopped her technique. "I'm sorry, Harpy," she apologized. "I am Aquarius Degel. A guy."

Harpy stood there in shock. He then slowly closed his eyes and begun to chuckle. The beauty lowered her arms and stared at him in confusion. "Seriously, you are Degel of Aquarius?" he laughed.

Puffing her cheeks in anger, she again used Diamond Dust to temporarily freeze the opponent.

Harpy's Suplice got activated and destroyed the tux. Wings flapped twice before Harpy gave a smile. "Sweet Chocolate," he muttered.

The wind started picking up, forcing Gleed to cover her face. Her torn gown floated up, revealing the gold Cloth she wore. Laughter filled the air and figures started to circle the female. Gleed looked up to stare at four harpies.

"Oho~! Our little Valentine has a playmate," a female voice sing sang. "Do you want us to devour her?"

"No," Harpy replied. "Just pin her down."

"Kekekekeke!" One of the harpies laughed. "Little Valentine will devour her himself."

"Auror~!" Her mouth was clamped shut by one of the harpies. Each one took hold of her arms and legs. "MGHWDGERWQASD!"

Harpy slowly walked towards the ladies and lifted Gleed's face with his forefinger and thumb. His face came dangerously close to hers when Hades got between them and punched the male.

The harpies gasped in shock. Harpy massaged his bruised cheek before frowning. His eyes widened in shock and knelt in front of the person who just punched him. "Hades-sama," he greeted.

The mythical creatures also bowed down, still keeping Gleed pinned on the ground.

Hades stared at his subordinate then at the female glaring daggers at the harpies. "Please release Miss Gleed," he requested as he walked towards the five females.

"But Hades-sama~!"

"Release her!" the black haired god commanded. The four bird-like females reluctantly did what they were ordered and disappeared into the night. Valentine was still kneeling.

"You are dismissed, Harpy Valentine. Go back inside and have my sister fix your tuxedo. Then help them calm the others down."

"Yes, Hades-sama," the spikey haired male muttered and flew towards the hall.

Once the Spectre was gone, Hades held out his hand towards the female. Gleed accepted it then smiled at the god. "Thank you, Hades-sama," she murmured and gave a curtsey.

"It is rare for Valentine to use his technique on others like that. He only uses that when he knows that his opponent is a strong one."

Gleed turned pink in embarrassment. She bowed her head and started to compose a story in her head.

"Degel Aquarius," Hades called out.

Upon hearing her original name, the female looked up curiously. Hades smirked. Gleed, composing herself, took a deep breath and stared at Alone. "How did you know who I am, Hades-sama?" she asked as she tried fixing her gown.

Hades brought his sketchbook out. "Aries' thoughts are screaming your name. Also Kagaho's and Harpy's," he shrugged and started drawing. "I would like to request that you pose."

Gleed tilted her head innocently. "A-alright."

"Please remove your gown. I would like to draw you in your cloth."

The female sighed. She has to comply. With hesitating movements, she discarded her gown and stood up on the bench. He placed her right hand on her hips then smiled. [See the picture of this story]

The god had to cover his nose and close his eyes for two minutes. "My, you really are distracting. That is why my Spectres and some of the Saints want to sleep with you."

"Hade-sama," Gleed gasped. "That is inappropriate!"

Hades laughed. "Sorry, Aquarius." He then continued his sketch while conversing with the beauty. When it was done, he removed his jacket, magically turned it into a black gown and gave it to Gleed. "You might catch a cold," he stated with a smile.

The female nodded. "Thank you. But I am from Siberia, Hades-sama. Cold is our element."

Hades turned around so that he won't get tempted. He was four years younger than the saint. It would be very problematic if something happened. 'Then again, I'm immortal,' the god thought.

"I'm finished, Hades-sama. You could turn around now."

Alone turned around and gasped. "Miss Gleed," he started, dropping the sketchbook he was holding.

The black gown was simple but Gleed just made it into a piece of art. It was a tube. From her breasts to her waist, the material hugged her perfectly. Upon reaching her buttocks, the dress flowed like waterfalls. Sparkles suddenly appeared on her dress, creating the illusion that she's glowing. She smiled at the beauty of the dress and went to the gawking teen. She kissed the young god on the forehead before she grabbed the discarded sketchbook and leafed through the drawings until she saw her face.

Aquarius Gleed gasped. "Beautiful," she whispered as she traced the pencil marks with her manicured fingers.

"Yes."

"Truly."

"A magnificent piece."

"Truly a work of art."

"Great job, Hades-sama."

"It looks nice."

"The cloth suits her well."

"Wow, I never thought Gleed would fit in the Aquarius Cloth perfectly."

"She's hot in both sketch and reality."

"Nice."

"Cute."

"Suits her well."

"An angel on earth."

"Pretty."

"Gorgeous."

"A creature of beauty."

"She looks somehow familiar."

"I can't really see but I'll just guess that the drawing is wonderful beyond words."

"A figure suited not on earth but in the heavens."

Gleed's eyes widened. Hades seemed shocked as well but he brushed it off with a smile. The female turned around to see all the gold saint, the three judges of hell, the two gods of the underworld, Kagaho, Harpy and Aspros hurdling together to look at the picture Alone created. "Wha?" she gasped.

Every pair of eyes looked at the only female at the moment. Their eyes reflected interest, curiosity and lust [except for Leo and Taurus].

Acting quickly, Hades took the sketchpad from the older men and brought his pencil. "It would be a shame if this rare occasion is not captured," he stated, staring at Gleed's troubled eyes. "I would like to sketch every one of you with Miss Gleed."

All men looked at the god. All nodded while Shion helped the teal haired figure. "You look dashing in black, milady," he smiled.

"Shut it, Shion. I have too many problems now."

"Alright, everyone, encircle our princess here but nobody touches her," Hades commanded. Off course everyone has to comply. It took a good five minutes to stop the males from unleashing another string of attack so that they could be nearer to Gleed. "Now, stop moving so that the sketch won't be ruined."

After the scene was captured in paper, the Saints and Spectres continued their fight while the god of death walked back to the halls. Hades was busy appreciating his art. Gleed sighed in relief when she was ignored. The female was about to go inside but sleep enveloped her body. The last thing she felt were arms catching her and the last thing she saw were yellow orbs staring at her mischievously.
