The Reason for Pain
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do own Sincerity and the plot line for the story.
The incandescent glow, danced playfully over the night sky. The moon, dimmed for a particular reason, so that those would were outside could truly understand the true beauty. Those outside, never once, thought lightening could destroy this ever peaceful scenario. They were wrong. The clouds parted, as the lightening struck in front of the large mass, called the Gates to Spirit World intelligence. The doors were forced open, exposing then an entire sea of blue, red, and green. Ogres. The looks of fear and anxiety quickly filled their faces as a cloaked individual stepped in. The black rope masked their figure, not allowing the ogres to know, whether it the individual to be a male or female, but they would all know soon enough.
The figure removed the hood, and shook. A mass of flowing ebony locks fell towards their face, revealing that not only were they a woman, a woman of class and caliber. She smirked, and this one gesture, sent the ogres into frenzy. She giggled at the sight of the supposed help of Spirit World. She raised her hand, violet nails shimmering as each ogre froze, one by one. She smiled. Her long ebony hair followed behind her, as she sauntered over to the main doors. She smirked, dropping her cloak, revealing long caramel colored legs, in a short violet mini-skirt. Her black leather blouse hung loosely off her bust, as she licked her lips. She snapped her fingers. The door flew open.
Behind the desk, seemed to be a toddler, surrounded by women on oars and ogres. All of them trembled in fear, as she took a step closer, the sound of her stiletto resonating through the air. The closer she stepped, the more they trembled. She eyed the one in the middle. The toddler. She stepped her last step in front of the desk, and winked. All of them screamed in terror for they knew she could kill them with one blow if she so chose to do so.
"Koenma, no need for all the fuss, just over me." Her voice sweet and seductive. She placed herself on top of the desk and moved a few strands of hair from her face. She sighed, and looked at her nails, awaiting his response.
"I am quite aware of your powers, Sincerity. I would never meet you in person, without the proper protection." The toddler now stood before her, a perfect teenager, in order to make himself, seem more mature. He felt a minute lump in the back of his throat, but he never let on. He wanted Sincerity to know that he meant business if she tried anything.
"Do you really believe, ogres, and a few female no bodies, can stop me? You are bluffing more than usual." She turned to face him, her look stern and strong. She wanted answers and Koenma, knowing her too well, knew that she was serious.
"No, but I do believe in their ability to retain information from you, if that is what you so choose." He smirked at her, glancing over to a fairly ditzy blue haired girl. She caught the glance, but stayed put. Knowing her orders were only to leave and get help, if it got out of hand, though in her opinion, it had already crossed the line. Koenma, smiled at Sincerity again, only long enough to receive a death glare. An all to familiar death glare. Koenma knew whom it was from, and he laughed. He could never keep a straight face through that.
"Oh, so you think this is a joke?" Lightening rose within the entire room, striking a few ogres in the process. She glared him down, and Koenma's laughter ceased. He knew she had gotten far too serious for her own good. He needed to get help in case this matter, took a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, Sincerity's patience, was wearing thin. She could no longer maintain her anger, for she wanted what was rightfully hers, and it was taken from her years ago, by Koenma and Enma, Koenma's obnoxious father.
"Sincerity, I do not wish to upset, you and I do not take this as a joke. But you know as well as I that you cannot get what you came for. It's just that simple." Koenma tried reasoning, though obviously he could not make her happy with his response. She needed to relax, though Koenma knew he would not be the one to help her with that. He needed to get help quite soon, because how much longer he could sustain her, and keep her happy, he knew not. He needed some sort of comfort in knowing she would remain calm, but he knew that no one could give that too her. He needed to find a way to give her what she wanted, without giving it to her. As crazy and backwards as that thought was, Koenma had no other choice. What she wanted, she was band from.
"You better find a way to get me what I want and quickly, my patience is wearing thin, Koenma. And I will not tolerate waiting any longer than I have too." She ran her fingers down the table, and she looked at Koenma, eyeing the trembling blue haired girl beside him. Her eyebrow raised, again all too familiar expression causing Koenma to snicker, but it was cut short, by Sincerity's eyes. She was unhappy. Koenma knew at this point there was nothing he could do, only wait it out and think of a plan. Though it seemed Sincerity had had with Koenma's stalling technique.
"Sincerity, I promise to try to give you kind of what you want, but I cannot give you the entire package. I know that is what you have wanted for years, but I cannot help you there. My father specifically band you from that and you know as well as I, that I cannot go against his orders. He is still ruler over Spirit World."
"I don't give a rat's ass if he was the ruler of the Universe! Give me what I want!" Her voice carried throughout the entire office, scaring every ogre and person in the room, except Koenma, whom maintained his cool, since he had anticipated that response. He needed to keep her calm, before she took a toll on the entire Spirit World, just for something she did could not obtain.
"Sincerity, I will try my hardest, to work around my father's doing, but he, just as I have said, made the final choice, and I cannot waiver it. He did what he thought was best and I cannot do anything for you."
"Did what he thought was best?" her voice, louder than before, electricity going through the entire office. The blue haired girl looked at Koenma whom slightly nodded. Before she had time to think about what she was doing, she jumped on her oar, and took flight, for the nearest window. Sincerity noticed her and tried to strike her with lightening, but missed her anger to great for her to concentrate on the moving target.
"Quickly Botan! Get help." Koenma knew at this point, that keeping Sincerity at bay would not last. He needed to get help.
"Yes sir!" Botan quickly flew out the window, and towards the sky, in need to the help that was needed. She knew she had to make it quick for they would be unable to help Koenma if she did not get there. Oh Yusuke, please be home! Botan flew in that direction, towards the Spirit Detective's home.
Sincerity glared at Koenma, anger stretching over part of her body. Her eyes screamed death, for she needed to kill. Her arm stretched out and before anyone could do anything, wrapped her hands around Koenma's small neck. Her anger was far worse, but she managed to contain it. She let enough air come through Koenma so as to make him answer.
"What do you want?" he managed to choke it out. "Spirit World does not have the gem anymore!"
"I don't want the gem! I want my son!" she screamed. "Give him back to me! Enma stole what was mine! My baby! My life! My hopes! My dreams! Give him back to me!" Koenma's eyes widened in fear and shock. She's no longer after the gem, she's after the holder of the gem…her son…Spirit World became filled with lightening and darkness, for Sincerity refused to allow entrance or leaving, until they gave her what she wanted. Her son.
