Yui's eyes flickered back open, groaning as she slowly floated back into consciousness. She squeezed her eyes shut and stretched her limbs a bit, rolling her right shoulder. She shivered slightly, shifting her body on the warm, fuzzy surface she laid on, fur tickling her legs. She snuggled into her pillow, pulling her arms to her chest to keep herself warmer. She breathed in, catching a surprising scent of cologne. She furrowed her eyebrows and made a soft humming sound, lifting her eyelids up and peering around.

Looking around, she was laying on top of the inside of a cloak, her head and arms resting on a body, the stomach slowly moving up and down. Blushing, Yui quickly sat up and looked around. She found herself surrounded by trees, the light tweep of birds filling the air around her as the breeze stuttered through the leaves. Yui shook her head, trying to figure out what she was doing here until a head of gray hair caught her eye. Turning, she found the King of the Underworld laying down beside her, breaths quiet and slow. He had a light snore to him, breathing in and out through his mouth.

Yui found that under his cloak he wore a black toga with blue lines on the edges. She hadn't noticed what was under his cloak from the way it was usual places, but now it was easy to see just how much of his skin peaked out from under it, including part of his curse. Yui placed her hands on his arm, shaking him awake gently.

"Hades-san, wake up." She insisted, causing his eye to flicker open. At first it seemed like he couldn't see anything from the way he stared blankly into space, but as his eyes lolled to the side and caught her figure, a smile spread over his face. He pushed himself up, yawning into his hand.

"Good morning, Yui-san." Hades smiled, looking around. "How do you feel?"

"Tired." Yui yawned, causing Hades to give a deep chuckle.

"Same." Hades nodded, letting his cloak fall of his shoulders, leaving him mostly bare. He turned to Yui, a smile on his face. "You know, I have some time off right now. Do you want to see something cool?" Hades offered, a slight blush on his cheeks. Yui perked up, nodding lightly. Hades' smile widened and his hopped off the bolder they lay on, quickly pulling Yui down with him. She let out a terrified squeak as she slipped off the boulders into Hades' arms.

Not wasting any time, Hades took her hand and tugged on her arm, pulling her down the path behind him. Yui stumbled slightly, trying to keep up with Hades' long legs.

"H-Hades-san, matte! W-what about your cloak?" Yui asked, turning back to the rock where his cloak was left discarded partially on the rock.

"We'll go back and get it later." Hades answered, tugging her down an invisible side path, the plants growing out so far that only the a small line ran down the path in the middle. The leaves brushed up against Yui and Hades' legs, leaving small, ticklish lines on their knees.

"Hades-san, where are we going?" Yui asked nervously. She turned back, wondering if they would be able to find their way back after this.

"It's a secret." Hades said, continuing to pull her down the path. The longer they ran the darker it became. The over growth was becoming thicker by the second and light streams reached the floor in only a few places at most. The bushes were becoming taller and thicker, soon becoming walls that held close to each other, a few branches jetting out into the path.

"A-are we going the right way?" Yui asked, biting her lip nervously. It felt like they were trapped in some haunted maze and was giving Yui the creeps.

"I'm sure, I come this way all the time." Hades responded, taking a sudden turn into the bushes. Branches battered Yui's face and she had to use her free hand to push them away, protecting her face from the assault. "Careful, it's a little hard to get through this part, but we're almost out." Hades promised. Yui nodded and they continued through the bushes.

Suddenly they stumbled out into an open area, light shimmering down through the leaves and a large cliff in front of them. Yui looked around, frowning.

"Are were...there?" Yui asked uncertainly, not finding anything special about the small opening.

"Almost." Hades chuckled, turning to Yui. "Just a bit farther." He said, tugging her around to the cliff, guiding her behind a bolder. Yui was surprised to find a small opening behind the bolder leading underground. Hades moved to walk inside, but Yui pulled back. Hades turned to her, surprised.

"W-we're not going in there... are we?" Yui asked nervously.

"Yes, it's down there. Don't worry, it's flat and you're only in the dark for so long." Hades reassured, giving her a light tug. She replied nervously, carefully stepping in front of the hole, Hades put a hand on her shoulder, guiding her down inside of it. Hades ducked down as he walked, the ceiling too low for him. He lead her forward about ten feet before stopping her. "Are you ready?" He asked. Yui nodded her head, speaking when she realized he couldn't see her.

"Yes, I guess so." Yui replied. Hades nudged her forward and reached out, softly grabbing a large cloth in front of them and tugging it to the side, letting light flood through into the cave. "Go in." Yui stepped inside and looked around. Her eyes widened and her breath hitched at such a sight. Millions of light hung down from the ceiling, glowing in a faint blue color. It reminded her of the night sky the way the lights twinkled. Yui wandered around, staring straight up into the air in awe of the sight. Small puddles lay on the ground as water dripped from the ceiling. Somehow the drip drop of water drops seemed mystical and wondrous, like a hidden world underground.

Hades watched as Yui looked around, smiling at her. He was glad she was enjoying his special place so much. It reminded him and the stars and, since he met her at school, it reminded him of her. He approached her as she spun around, staring up into the light. He placed a hand on her shoulder, trying not to startle her.

"Do you like it?" He asked. She turned to him, giving him a large smile.

"Like it? I love it!" She declared, wrapping her arms suddenly around him, giving him a light squeeze. "Thank you for bringing me here!" Yui smiled.

"Y-you're welcome." Hades blushed, scratching the back of his head.

"It's so pretty in here, with all the lights and puddles and it's airy too!" Yui said, taking in a deep breath of air.

"I think the air is flowing in from somewhere else, there is a bit of a breeze after all." Hades pointed out. Yui nodded and continued to look around.

"It's so nice down here, almost a little romantic." Yui stopped. Yui and Hades' eyes made contact and quickly separated, deep red blushes covering their faces.

"I-it is, isn't it."
