Yui sat, staring at the door. She sat in her room quietly, not even moving an inch as she waited and waited for a certain someone to arrive. Her tea and crackers Shina had brought her, which sat beside her on her counter top, had gone cold, the steam disappearing from the green liquid. Yui knew that worrying would do her no good, but she couldn't help it. After seeing that angry mob out there, and seeing Hades and Drake's reactions...

Yui pulled her arms around her, looking down to the floor. She knew what was happening, that much she was sure about. Hades did mention that the spirits in the underworld hated him, so it would be no surprise if they acted on that hatred sometimes. Still, it was hard to believe that they hated him so much they would want him hurt. And for what? They were dead, there was nothing they could do about it, and never anything to be done about it in the first place.

Yui turned her back to the door, no longer able to face it. She didn't know how to feel about this. She felt bad but angry at the same time. What would she even say to him when he came? What would he say back? It was hard to say if he'd be open about the situation or try to cover it for her own mentality sake. She was worried how he was doing.

There was a light knock on the door behind her, and she called for the guest to enter. The guest entered the room, closing the door quietly behind himself. Hades stood in silence, staring at Yui sadly. She sat on her bed, facing away from him. He should have known that what she saw would have upset her, yet there was nothing he could do to cover her view. Hades, letting out a deep sigh, approached her, sitting down on her bed, the mattress creaking loudly under him. He would need to get those fixed. He stared at the door, like she had been doing for the past few hours. He had thought about what to say to her the entire way here, but now that he sat beside her, he no longer knew what to do. He hated seeing her so sad, but she wouldn't brush something like this over so quickly.

So they sat in silence. They sat there, both thinking hard about what had happened, until Yui turned to him quietly.

"...Are you okay?" She asked quietly, startling Hades, who in turn turned to her with a sad smile.

"Yes, I'm fine. But how are you feeling?" Hades asked. Yui turned away, bringing her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them, letting her chin rest on her knees.

"...Confused." She said, causing Hades to let his head lay limp on his neck for a minute before nodding.

"I guess that is to be expected. It happened out of the blue- none of us expected it this time." Hades admitted, causing Yui to flinch. This time? Somehow it seemed less like in the past and more like...

"It's happened at least once since the time I first arrived." Yui sighed, knowing that it was true.

"The day you arrived actually. Normally I would go out and appease the people, but instead I sent Drake to deal with it while I tended to you. I didn't want to leave you alone." Hades explained. Yui nodded and leaned on him slightly, keeping her touch light. He smiled and leaned back. She was warm and soft where their shoulders met, and he was sure she felt the same of his. He smiled into her warmth, even if it was but a simple meeting of the nearly felt at ease after what had happened earlier, as if it was days ago and long forgotten. Yui was a beacon of hope, and ever since she came, his misfortune had been dulling- less accidents, less riots, and less arguments. It was as if she herself was a cure to all of his sorrows and worries.

But all too suddenly her touch was gone from his skin as she recalled back. She turned her body, facing him fully, eyes wide in realization.

"Where is Drake?" She asked, worried. Hades quickly turned away, keeping his eyes low and away from her pleading orbs.

"He is... busy at the moment..." Yui crossed her arms, frustrated by his answer.

"But where is he?" Yui pressed on. Hades turned his head to the side away from her and she huffed, laying down on her bed. Hades turned back to her, placing a gentle hand on her side. She turned her gaze from him and he felt his heart crack a bit. He understood why she was so upset- for all she knew he could have lost an arm or worse- he was dead. He almost wanted to smile at that notion. How quickly you forget that death is impossible down here, since everyone else was hurt.

"He's dead." Hades said. At first Yui nearly began to cry, until realization hit her and she sprung up, grabbing her pillow and whacking him over the head with it.

"Don't do that!" She cried. Hades smiled, quickly taking the pillow from her. She reached to grab another, but Hades pulled her into a comforting embrace.

"I think it was my best joke yet." He smiled. Yui giggled, giving him a playful shove. "No, he's fine, for the most part. He did however get hit in the head pretty hard by a rock." Hades admitted.

"Is he okay?!"

"He's probably fine, maybe a headache for a few days at most. It was only a small rock after all." Hades said, causing Yui to sigh in relieve.

"Jezz, I thought something was wrong before. Just tell me next time- I can handle stuff like that!" Yui insisted and Hades blushed.

"I guess it was worse in my mind as it was in your's. I don't like seeing my friends get hurt." Hades admitted with a blush.

"Same." A quiet knock sounded at the door and Berna entered.

"Sire, you have a guest who is running around like a headless chicken." Berna informed calmly. Hades shook his head and stood up, holding a hand out for Yui.

"You should come." Hades said, grabbing her hand when she didn't move fast enough for him. He guided her down the hallway behind him, smiling happily. Yui smiled as well, amused by his sudden excitement. The mood was quickly cut by the sound of irrational shouting and screaming.

"Calm down, brother, you're causing a scene."

"But-but-but- AH! This is sooo scary. She's gone and there's rioting and-" Crash!

"Hey, will you stand still, you're going to break something else like this!"

"Sorry!"

Hades shook his head, less amused now. He opened the large door in front of him, letting himself in and leaving Yui to stand in the hallway.

"Will you calm down, Apollo!" Hades called, causing the Greek god of the sun to turn to him, practically in tears.

"But Hades! Something terrible has happened!" Apollo yelled, running to his uncle.

"What is it?" Hades asked, suddenly concerned.

"It's fairy-san, I can't find her anywhere! What if she's been kidnapped by pirates?!" Apollo cried. Hades eyes went wide and he gulped nervously.

"Ano... I forgot to tell you guys, didn't I?" Hades said, uncomfortably shifting from foot to foot. Yui popped out from behind to door, smiling sadly at the two Greek gods, who stared back in shock.

"Ano... hi guys."

Man, Hades it just not doing a good job this chapter. He worried Yui, made a joke about death, and then admitted to all you lovely guys and gals who read this that HE FORGOT TO TELL THE OTHER GODS THAT YUI DIED! Dammit Hades! :P

Heh, well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I've been meaning to add other gods for a while now, but kept holding it off.
