Yui cut through the air with her blade, slicing up and down while falling into a black step front step pattern. Drake watched from the sideline with interests, watching her technique and form. She finished with a couple side swings before letting out a breath of air and smiling at Drake. He smiled back and gave her a loud round of applause.

"That was cool!" Drake said, eyes shining as he looked over her Japanese blade in fascination. "I'm surprised to see you using a long sword like that after I saw you working well with smaller swords." Drake pointed out, placing a finger on his chin.

"It's just the weight and posture is all. All of the big swords you have me were heavy and hard to hold." Yui sighed, shaking her head and sheathing her sword.

"What?! No way! Those swords were child's play." Drake shook his head and crossed his arms.

"Maybe not for Mr big warrior... dude." Yui muttered, causing Drake to laugh.

"Nice insult. I really felt that one here." Drake shook in laughing, pointing at his heart. Yui blushed and stuck her tongue out.

"I'm just not used to speaking like that." Yui sighed, turning away.

"Than don't." Drake said, shaking his head. The door flew open, revealing a gasping Hades who closed the door in a hurry, attempting to catch his breath. Drake gave him a weird look and frowned. "Whats with you? You come here every day- I think every day- panting like an entire horde Persian warriors were just chasing you in your birthday suit." Drake said, causing Hades to stare at him in disbelief.

"How do you come up with those?" Hades asked, receiving a shrug.

"Just a talent I suppose." He smiled.

"Hades-san, are you in trouble?" Yui asked worriedly, causing Hades to smile gently.

"I guess, in a sense. It's more of I'm skipping work right now- not that I have the heart to do it. It's so sad and depressing, having to read new dead souls' entire live stories constantly. It's a miracle I haven't lost my mind." Hades rambled, causing Yui to frown.

"It sounds like a lot of work." Yui said.

"Yeah, and I have hundreds to do every day. I wish it was easier, but I see no other way to do it." Hades frowned. "As King of the Underworld, it is my job to judge where in the Underworld they go, so I can separate those who want to spend their time in peace and those who want action, along with those who are too young to be in areas too dangerous and those too blackened to spend their time with other good souls."

"But what else can you do but read their life's stories?" Drake shrugged. "I mean, it's rude not to judge them properly- even it there can be up to twenty full pages of their life's story."

"Twenty pages?!" Yui cried. "How can you read twenty pages worth of someone's life?"

"And you have to read all of it or else you could miss a big change at the end of their life-" Drake sighed, "like a bad man choosing to sacrifice himself for his family makes him good, unless his sins are too great."

"I wish I could compress it somehow." Hades said, Yui closing her eyes to think.

"Maybe you can." Yui realized, a flash of sudden inspiration lighting up in her. The two men turned to her as she smiled. "Maybe you can condense it. What does it look like now?"

"The paper work? It's like a short story, like a novel." Hades shrugged.

"Maybe instead of a story you can make it a list." Yui suggested.

"List?" Drake asked, arching his eyebrow. "What kind of a list?"

"Like a list of all of the good and bad they did in their life. And then maybe a timeline to show the order of the events. Then a good twenty pages can be turned into maybe ten." Yui smiled.

"But isn't that rude to the soul, to not even read their life's story?" Drake asked, frowning.

"Well, I mean, I had no idea that Hades-san did that, and I'm sure no one else down here knew that either." Yui pointing out.

"I suppose... I don't really make it public." Hades admitted.

"And why would they care anyways? I mean, you already get to see what they did their entire life, so why is it any different to do it this way. In fact, it it probably easier to decipher a sinner for a saint that way." Yui pointed out. Hades smiled and placed his hands on her shoulders and smiled down at her.

"Yui-san, those ideas are wonderful- not only for me, but for the people who have to write the life's stories! Yui-san, you are a truly wonderful woman." Hades smiled, causing Yui to blush. "I'd love to hear anything else you come up with, but first I would like to give the writers this new format before even more piles up." Hades declared, turning to the door. He stopped suddenly, turning back to them. "Why don't the two of you come with me? Yui-san, I think it would be helpful for you to come and help me explain this idea of yours."

"M-me?" Yui asked, suddenly flustered. "I-I don't know..." Hades took her hand and gave it a light tug.

"Don't worry, there is nothing to fear. They are just normal people like you." Hades pointed out, pulling her along into the hallway. Suddenly a voice called out to Hades, a woman rushing towards him from the other side of the hallway.

"Master Hades!" This woman was short with dark green hair and cat like, golden eyes. She wore a purple tank top which opened down the middle to reveal yellow frills, the purple cloth held together by a yellow heart. She wore a skirt colored in a shade lighter purple than her shirt with orange frills on the bottom. She rushed towards Hades in panic, stopping in front of him to catch her breath.

"Shina, what's wrong? You like exhausted." Hades said, banding down to put a hand on her shoulder.

"It's happening again." She gasped, causing Hades to flinch back.

"What's happening?" Yui asked, causing Drake to laugh awkwardly and pat her head.

"Oh, nothing really. Shina, can you take Yui back to her room, we'll deal with this." Drake asked, looking at Shina with worried eyes. She nodded her head and took Yui's hand.

"Come along Miss Yui, everything will be fine soon." Shina assured. Yui frowned. Fine soon? So something was wrong. An angry howl echoed throughout the hallways. Yui shook slightly, recognizing Cerberus's growls. Hades and Drake hurried down the hallway as fast as they could as Shina tried to pull Yui away from the window.

Yui managed to grasp a small peek out the window. What she saw was blurred but was obviously a crowd of spirits out front. Yui was horrified. Were they rioting outside? Shina carefully pulled Yui down the hallway, apologizing that she had to see what was happening.

"Don't worry," Shina said, trying to comfort her however she could. "It's not the first time this happened. They just need to be angry for a while and soon they'll leave on their own." Shina chuckled awkwardly. "Besides, with Master Drake there to protect Master Hades everything will go smoothly. You'll see."

"How can this go smoothly.." Yui muttered. "When everyone hates him so much?"

Well, I had to do it at one point. I don't plan on making this too dark, but there will be sad moments like this every once in awhile.

Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Shina, I just came up with her on the spot, so she may only show up once or twice. For everyone out there who celebrates it, happy probably late Thanksgiving!
