Code: LYOKO: Believe 2
Temptations
Hiroki was waiting outside for Milly to come out of her class. He finally had the nerve to ask her out.
It took a decent talk with Yumi for him to get the guts.
Flashback:
"But what if she said no?" asked Hiroki. Yumi smiled gently at her brother, "Hiroki, you may be a pain, but you can't be hated." Hiroki looked down at his feet. "You got to have faith Hiroki." Yumi then said, grabbing the scar on her neck, where the stitches were from the car crash.
She's been doing that lately, whenever faith is mentioned, he touches that scar, almost innately. Hiroki smiled, "OK Yumi, love you." Hiroki said, kissing Yumi's cheek. Yumi chuckled, "Get out of here runt, before you get me sick with your…"
Yumi didn't finish since he was out of the room before she could finish.
End Flashback
Hiroki took a deep breath as the doors opened. He waited behind. After about a half hour he still didn't see Milly.
"Where is she?" he asked himself. "With some other punk," said a charismatic voice. Hiroki looked behind him.
A boy, about his age, light hair, dark skin, pointed ears, sharp nails, deep blue eyes. "Huh?" asked Hiroki. "She's with a boy, a boy who seems to be luckier then you." continued the boy.
"Who are you anyway?" asked Hiroki. "Me? Just call me Nick Lou Scratch." "How do any of the stuff you know?"
Nick smirked a devilish smirk, "I just do, follow me." After a decent amount of time walking, they were in the park, the forested portion of it. Nick pointed, "See, I told you it is so."
Hiroki looked at where Nick was pointing, it was true, Milly was with a boy…it was Johnny, his best friend. They were kissing. Many emotions began to hit Hiroki. Anger, hate, vengeance, fear, and sadness.
Nick gave another devilish smirk and said, "I can, uh, help you out if you want." Hiroki then asked bitterly, "Why would you help me?" "I like ya, kid. You seem pretty cool. Now just, set something up, make an accident of sorts happen. Trip him while he walks behind her, leave the rest to me."
Hiroki finished brushing his teeth and slipped under his covers and drifted to sleep.
Hiroki was standing in a misty realm, with only two chairs. In one chair was a man with long brown hair, a beard, and white robes.
In the other chair was a man in an orange cloak with gold colored trimmings, his hair chopped closely to his head, Asian.
Both men looked disappointed. "Hiroki," said the Man in Orange, "How could you have fallen into his trap? You are much smarter then that." "Wha-, what are you talking about?"
The Man in White said, "You fell into Satan's latest attack at people's salvation."
"Satan wasn't there, just Nick, and he showed me my best friend kissing the girls I like!"
The Man in Orange rolled his eyes and said, "Hiroki, his name was made of several aliases of Lucifer."
The Man in White listed them on his fingers, "Nick comes from Old Nick, Lou comes from Lucifer, Scratch from Old Scratch. He just took bits and pieces from names humans gave him over the years."
"It could just be a coincidence!" The Man in Orange then snapped, "So it's just a coincidence that a boy, who's name is composed of three alternate names of Satan, wants you to take vengeance?" The Man in Orange then took a few deep breaths to get control himself before he got angrier.
"Sorry about that." The Man in White then said, patting the Man in Orange's shoulder, "Don't worry Buddha, it's alright to release some anger every now and then."
Buddha then said to Hiroki, "Listen to me Hiroki, if you go through with this, you'll be reborn in a horrible position, I've lived hundreds of thousands of lifetimes, and seen some of my friends come back as beggars or flies."
(A/N: I don't really know how the Buddhists explain their concept rebirth, so I'm sorry if I offend any Buddhist readers)
"But, he said he's…" "Help you? Am I right?" asked the Man in White. "Y-Yeah. How did…"
"I know? Well, being the Son of the Supreme Being has it's advantages."
Buddha then said, "Now that you know who we are, do you now trust us?"
Hiroki thought for a half hour. He then finally said, "Yeah, I do. But what do I do with my little problem?"
"Talk to him about," said Buddha. "BUT," said Jesus, "Don't tell him to break up with her. For that'll just hurt the friendship between the three of you. Do we make ourselves clear?"
"Yeah."
Yumi woke Hiroki up. 'Was it all a dream?'
Hiroki was walking about the courtyard. And there was Milly and Johnny. As Nick has said, Johnny was behind Milly.
Hiroki crept up behind them. He was about to push Johnny when he remembered something, "You'll be reborn in a horrible position!" "Nick comes from Old Nick, Lou comes from Lucifer, Scratch is from Old Scratch."
Hiroki raised his hand above and tapped Johnny's shoulder. "Hmm, oh hey Hiroki, what's new?"
"Hey Johnny, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure." The two boys walked away to a private area to talk.
"Johnny, why didn't you tell me Milly and you were dating?" asked Hiroki. Johnny looked confused. "What are you talking about?" "Come on man, I saw the two of you kissing in the park."
Johnny raised an eyebrow, "Dude, are you feeling ok? You know I'd never to that to you, you're my best friend."
He seemed to be telling the truth. 'Which means…'
"Never mind, I'm just a little tired, maybe I dreamed it all." Hiroki said rushed, before running off.
He ran to the park. "What the hell was that?" asked a familiar voice. Almost certainly it was Nick, now in the guise of a teen roughly Yumi's age. "You lied to me! I almost attacked my own friend!"
"Alright guilty as charged, so what?" said Nick, shrugging his shoulders. "You really are Satan, aren't you?" Nick then glared, "Yes. Yes I am. And I'll ruin this world, as it ruined me."
Hiroki then asked, "How did we ruin you?" Satan sprinted and grabbed him by the throat and said, "You hairless apes were suppose to be superior. Superior to what? Dirt? That's smarter then you! I was to bow to you? I was the brightest light in the sky before you clay dolls were ever formed!"
Hiroki was struggling to breath.
Meanwhile a hiker was marching through park. He stopped to get a drink from his canteen, when he saw two figures in the distance. He grabbed his binoculars and saw a man strangling a young boy.
"Oh god!" the hiker said, cramming his binoculars in his pockets running to them.
"HEY!" he called out, "HEY! YOU LEAVE THAT BOY ALONE!" Satan directed his attention to the man running towards them. The hiker tackled Satan to the dirt. "Get off of me!" Satan yelled utilizing his superhuman strength. But the hiker didn't care, "Run child!" he called to Hiroki.
Hiroki sprinted out of the park. Satan looked up at the boy and kicked the man off of him, and started hunting Hiroki down.
Hiroki ran to the closest building and pounded on the door. "Help me!"
When no one answered, he tugged at the heavy door and slipped inside. He looked around. There were statues. One of a man with cane with a flower on the top. A woman holding a man, dead in her arms. And of course a man crucified.
The windows were stained glass. He was in a church. The door slammed open. "Oh don't tell me you believe in the whole, "Satan can't enter a church" nonsense do you?"
Hiroki ran to the farthest part of the church, the Altar. As Satan walked, the wax statues melted, the crosses and crucifixes became puddles of metal or pile of splinters.
Hiroki was now in front of the Tabernacle and on the Altar. Satan chuckled, which caused the glass to shatter. "No where to run boy, no where to hide."
"Exactly Lucifer." Satan and Hiroki looked towards the door. A small group of men and women marched towards them, with Jesus in front. "Lucifer, you sealed your failure here. By going in here, you are on holy ground, where you aren't to be."
"So what? It can't hurt me." said Lucifer. Light came off the angels in rays. All damage was reversed, the piles of splinter and puddles of wax and metal returned into statues and crosses and crucifixes.
The glass came back to their pane. "Be gone Satan! For it is said "The Lord, your God, shall you worship, and Him alone you shall serve!"
Satan growled as he vanished in flames. "You knew it was a trick, You and Buddha."
Jesus smiled and said, "Yes. Hiroki, before I go. I must tell you this. It's ok to fell a little upset over such things. But be careful of what you do with those emotions."
(A/N: Yeah, really complex chapter. Sorry if you didn't like it, or more importantly, if you were offended. Hope you enjoy this chapter and this story.)
