To say that the walk to the school was boring is an understatement. Youi and Hades kept at least a meter of distance from each other.

Drivers occasionally shouting at them in rage for almost walking at the middle of the road.

"I don't bite, come here." Hades held both of Youi's shoulders which stunned the shorter one.

The coldness of Hades' palms was stronger than the thickness of her multiple clothing. Almost like a piece of non-dripping ice was placed on her shoulders.

Youi felt weird for a moment. Both of them almost cut each other's throat for fighting the night before yet now they are casually walking together, as if they have known each other for a long time.

Youi kept walking, shrugging off the coldness that goes through her skin. She gulped as she felt Hades' body bumped unto hers when they reached the pedestrian lane in front of the school.

Students kept coming, most of them have their own cars. It was one of the most prestigious schools after all.

Youi kept walking straight ahead, Hades' still holding both of her shoulders while sending glares towards those students who were staring at them.

The glares that are enough for these students to question every sins they have done in their whole life. Most of the students flinched as Hades' eyes landed on theirs meanwhile some simply fainted.

Youi was puzzled yet she can't care more about those issue-makers. She saw her brother with the jocks, looking at her with a smile. She waved at the young man and kept walking forward.

"These peasants are too curious for their own good." Youi heard Hades uttered, causing her to gulp. Witnessing what a snap of Hades' fingers can do, she's scared for these students who stick their noses in their business.

"Don't create any chaos, Hades." Youi firmly spoke.

"I am not a peasant who start wars for their egos and pride. I start wars against ungodly things." Hades retorted, disgust completely heard from her voice.

As soon as the two of them entered the building for Senior High Schools, guys and ladies gawked at the two of them.

"I hate this." Youi rolled her eyes as she walk, not minding the jaw drops and stares they're getting from the large crowd.

"Who do you hate?" Hades asked, dangerously close to her sensitive ears.

"N—None, why did you ask?" Youi asked back.

"I shall have those hated out of your sight." Youi's ears perked at the answer. She gulped, thinking of what the Goddess can possibly do to these curious of a people.

"Just ignore them." Youi spoke and turned right, heading to her classroom.

The warning bell rang as soon as she stepped inside the classroom. Hades still on her back.

The two of them made their way to the back portion of the room and sat at the far end of the seats. Less attention, better for them.

Youi made Hades sit beside the wall before sitting beside her. The latter is too attractive for her own good, people will probably start to hit on the Goddess and she can't let that happen.

Just before the class starts, a cake-faced lady mastered her courage and walked up to Hades.

"Hey, cutie." The lady flirted openly.

Youi glanced at the one beside her and found Hades' response amusing for she literally ignored the presence of the flirty lady. Hades turned her head down and faced the ground while Youi watched the interesting scene.

"Hey, I'm calling you." The lady patted Hades shoulder but the latter swatted it as if she was touched by a mere monster.

"Don't lay your hand on me, peasant." Hades spoke sharply.

"Who are you calling 'peasant'?!" The lady is visibly upset with Hades' remark but the latter ignored it, making the lady more upset.

"I'm talking to you, weirdo!" Before the lady can even land her hand on Hades, she was countered with that frightening blue eyes.

The lady turned pale as she continued to stare down on Hades' eyes. Youi then held Hades' face and made the latter face her as soon as the lady started having blood dripping down her nose.

"Look at me." Youi stared down at the spinning blue orbs, strangely the only thing she saw was her reflection.

Her very own clear reflection on the latter's spinning orbs.

"Snap out of it." Youi spoke again, blinking.

Hades then blinked and glanced at the lady who was hitting on her. Students panicked as they saw the dripping nose of the lady.

Youi eyed Hades who looked disgusted by the lady's whole existence.

"Ha, her soul is too impure and dirty. She might end up in Tartarus." Hades spoke nonchalantly.

Youi looked around, scanning if someone heard Hades' remark.

"Don't state things like that here." Youi whispered, confident enough that Hades will hear it.

"Why not?"

"You are not in your place, alright? This place is filled with peasants, as you call humans, probably worse than her." Youi said, referring to the lady earlier. She pities the lady but maybe she deserved it for flirting too much?

"I shall do what I want to, you are in no—" Hades stopped as she heard her uncle's voice.

The talk, my niece. Do you want to go against my words?

"Fine." Hades spoke defeatedly which surprised Youi. She knows that Hades isn't the one to back down, with what she witnessed the night before she's sure of it.

"Good, not all people knows you so be careful around." Youi warned the pink-haired lady.

Hades rolled her eyes and ducked on the desk, not wanting to gain more attention from these peasants.

See? What have I told you? Humanity doesn't deserve kindness! They are disgusting creatures who chooses pleasure above devotion!

Hades sat straight as the non-human soul of her talked.

"Give me your hand, Persephone." Youi was puzzled but did it still. She handed it to Hades and the latter held it tight, intertwining their fingers.

"W—What are you doing?" To say that Youi is flustered won't be a lie. Heck, who would not be? Hades is like a walking bank of attractiveness, her aloof persona and dark aura giving more points to her attractiveness.

"Holding you hand, what else?" Hades answered truthfully. Lying is not on her vocabulary, she has lived by the God's laws and saying false statements was not tolerated by the God Zeus himself.

"Nothing." Youi gulped as her palm began to sweat. The warm kind of water contrasting Hades' cold hands.

"Are you Poseidon's daughter?" Hades asked and separated their hands. She took Youi's hand and surveyed the dripping palm of sweat. She even smelled it and she felt intoxicated for a moment, it was the mixture of vanilla and strawberry. Probably Youi's body lotion.

"N—No! It's just nobody other than my family holds my hand so I'm nervous." Youi spoke honestly. There's no point of lying when a Goddess is right there in front of her.

"Why are you nervous? Like what I said, I don't bite but I bring people to Tartarus for burning." It sparked more nervousness to Youi.

"Yet I am not gonna do that to you so stay calm."
