Prologue: Death
by ARaZhi
The tension in the High Court is thick. The supreme judges are about to give the verdict to his father, Enma Daioh.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Koenma shut his eyes, willing his nerves to calm down. Beside him, Botan gave him a nervous smile.
A sharp *Bang!* silenced the room. The judges enter. The chief justice gave their assistant the verdict.
Sweat poured out of Koenma's forehead with every passing second. This is not good. I *knew* from the start that this isn't going to turn well for tousama...
"...the accused, Enma Daioh, is found guilty!"
Another sharp *bang!* but it barely registered on Koenma's head. The words guilty rang on his head over and over again...
He had never felt so tired and exhausted in his whole life. Hours ago his father was hauled off to prison. He had looked at him and said, "Gomen nasai, Koenma. I did what I can to protect you..." His father was dragged away before he could even ask what he meant.
He jumped into his bed with a little difficulty. He pulled the covers up to his chin and closed his eyes to a dreamless sleep.
Botan looked at the nearly empty hallway. It was still early and but she hardly got any sleep last night.
After the hearing, she tried to get Koenma to talk to her but he won't. He quickly left the court room after Enma-sama was dragged away.
She went to his office and quietly opened the door. The room is empty. She frowned, Koenma is usually up early. He probably overslept. With that thought in mind, she walked back towards Koenma's room. He's probably in a *really* bad mood. She stopped in her tracks. Maybe checking on him isn't such a good idea.
"Hmm," she mumbled out loud as she considers. She took a deep breath and marched towards his room. I'll just do what I can to cheer him up! ^_^
She pushed open the door to Koenma's room, not bothering to knock since the door is partly open.
All color drained from Botan's face at the sight of the bed covered with blood. She let out a blood-curling scream. Then, everything went black.
The news of Koenma's death travel thoughout the four worlds in record speed. Reikai is on the brink of civil war.
When Enma heard of his son's death, his health began to deteriorate. In less than two months time, Enma died in prison.
Hell broke loose in Reikai.
With Reikai torn apart by war. No ferry girls could take souls away. No judge of death.
Ningens suddenly became immune to simple death. Lower class demons began to enter Ningenkai.
In less a year, Ningenkai, Reikai, and Makai are waging wars. It was evident that ningens have an evil within them that could match the vilest of youkais. Meikai took this opportunity to try and conquer the other three worlds.
Faced with war at all sides, Hiei is cut off from his friends and his sister. He is in Makai, fighting and trying to stay alive, as he commands Mukuro's forces.
Ningenkai is flames. Ningens are dying due to diseases, hunger, and fighting. The souls of the dead wander, lost.
In the midst of all these, Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara, does the possible and the impossible to save their friends and family.
They didn't see it coming. It was too late when they found out that the tunnel connecting Ningenkai to Makai has opened. Demons broke loose with no one to stop them.
In the cross-fire between ningens and demons. Keiko Urameshi died with her unborn child along with her parents and Atsuko. Yusuke never had the chance to save them.
Kurama was badly injured in battle. Miles away, his family perished.
Yukina and Shizuru survived that first huge wave of death. Leaving behind the Kuwabara house and the dead bodies of their family.
Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara managed to stop the worst of the attack. But it wasn't enough. When they got back, the cities were wiped out. The bodies of friends and relatives are mostly unrecognizable. All that's left of Keiko is their wedding band.
Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, Yukina, George, Botan, Shizuru, Ayame, and the other survivors have combined. They are fighting to restore peace back into the three worlds.
In the midst of the war torn worlds. A child is born.
Yusuke named her Kim.
