"Those idiots!"

"What in the name of the Almighty are they up to?"

"Writing 2 contracts? Games would never have done this!"

Still trapped in chains, the purple-eyed lady kept walking back and forth while cursing those that had locked her up.

Noticing the weird looks she was getting, she shouted, "And what are you doing! Are the escaped prisoners captured yet?"

"No, my Lady." A soft voice replied.

"Then what are you crowding around for! Go get them!" After she finished, all of the Reapers, the guards of Hell, vanished out of sight.

Looking at the emptiness before her, her anger intensified. "Why do I feel like a zookeeper?" She turned and spoke to the man who was hiding behind a pillar.

He had snow-white hair and yellow eyes. In his eyes, in place of white, there was black. If you looked carefully, you could see a clock slowly ticking away in his pupils. He had a red tattoo on the right side of his face which ran from his forehead to his neck and disappeared into his dark hood which was accented by a light blue lining.

Ignoring the question that was asked he countered, "Did you help them escape?"

"Who?" She asked playfully. However, she did not get that annoyed look that she was expecting and was all too familiar with.

"Did you help them escape?" He said, dashing forward and grabbing her by the throat.

It's been a long time since he was this serious. She didn't like it.

"How could I help them when I have been trapped in here all day?"

"She's not lying, " Neko said, emerging from behind him.

Letting her go, he started to walk away.

Death wondered if they would come to free her now that they had escaped. Either way, it was going to get noisy around here.

"Chronos, what are you going to do when you see them?" She asked him as he neared the door.

"That is none of your business, Filaki." Well, someone was in a bad mood.

"Don't call me that! And it is my business. If I wasn't the Goddess of Death then I would be trapped with them."

Hearing her, Chronos did not reply and kept walking.

"What happened to you, Time? You should be happy that they are back. Things can go back to the way they were." He wouldn't start another war, right?

"You know that is not possible. We have already found worthy humans to replace them. They don't have a place in heaven anymore." Worthy? She scoffed. According to her spies, those replacements were trash. She looked at her chains. She would get rid of them when she was free.
