Chapter Two

"PAIN!!! PANIC!!!" Hades yelled angrily. "Where are you two when I need you?!" As the two tripped in Hades rolled his eyes and asked annoyed "Where were you?"
"S...S...Sorry boss...Cerebus got loose...again" Panic muttered exhausted.
"It wasn't our fault this time!" Pain exclaimed.
Hades smirked
"Oh really...then just who's may I ask was it?" The two imps looked up at him frozen in fear, not knowing what to do or say.
"Mine...dear" The hair on the back of his neck stood up as Persephone entered the room.
"Sephie, babe, you uh...mind explaining yourself?" His eyes glard yellow, and looked as if he where ready to attack.
"I don't have to, this is my underworld too! But...if you must know...Cerby was just dyeing to get out...he wanted to chase a few souls." Seph said proudly crossing her arms.
"Seph! We have been over this! You can't just do whatever you want down here!" His hair singed red as his deathly stare at her continued.
"And why in the name of the Styx not?!!" The two continued their persistent fighting, making each remark more hateful than the last. The two imps stared at them, and then slowly crept out the door, heading for Elysian fields.
"Oh man, they're at it again." Pain said with a slight sigh of relief.
"Yeah, but at least we're safe now!" Panic exclaimed.
They headed into Elysian fields awed an excited. This was the one place in the whole damned underworld that was so beautiful and delicate, it even put Hades at ease. The two sat down by a small spring and fell asleep peacefully. Not to long after an explosion was heard and the whole underworld shook. Panic woke up paranoid, and nearly trampled Pain. Hades stormed in shouting things far from pure.
"Who does she think she is?! Me? A failure?! I'm the god of the underworld for gods' sake!!" he plopped himself down near them, burying his head in his knees. They whispered to each other for a minute then slowly, cautiously walked over to him.
"Hey boss...it'll...it will be alright..." Panic cooed.
Hades looked up slightly annoyed
"Panic...how many girls have you had?"
Panic looked down
"Well...uh...I...uh" he held up his hands as if he were counting then stopped, dropped them, and looked up "Uh well to be exact...none boss."
"Then don't tell me it'll be alright!!!" his hair singed red causing Panic to jump. "Make a note of this boys...women, are nothing but trouble. They say we would be lost without them? I say we are lost because of them!" The two snickered and Hades grinned. "I mean what was the good in getting married, if all I obtained was someone on my back all the time telling me I'm not good enough?" He sighed happily, and then smirked in a childlike manner. "She is something ain't she?" The two imps nodded. "Yeah...I love her." They all paused for a minute, taking in their surroundings untill finally Hades broke the silence. "Well boys thanx for the chat...I better go tell Seph she was right again." he grinned once more and then left.
"What a messed up marriage they have." Pain finally said.
Panic looked to him worried
"You really think he loves her?"
Pain sighed
"he's the lord of the underworld...he isn't capable of love."
Panic looked away thinking to himself
"Hmm..."

Hades trudged through the halls with a big grin on his face.
"seph, honey I...no that wont work. Sephie sweetie I...Arg! No that's not it...........Hey Seph, babe, I love ya ok? Yeah that's it!" he grinned in a sharklike manner and headed towards their bedroom. He snapped his fingers and a single black rose appeared in his hand. "That's right...I'll just suck up and I'll have her right where I want her." His grin quickly faded to an angry smirk. "Hell if Megara is having the time of her life with...*shudders* Jerkules, then why shouldn't I?!"
