Reconciliation

A/N: I'm sorry, Miss Queen of the World, but I have to end this fic now. I'm planning on a Hiei romance fiction, and I've kinda run out of ideas for this one, so enjoy the last chapter and then tell your friends about it!
::Is this the end... of me?::
----------Final Chapter: Reconciliation----------
Satan sat in his electronic and spiritual prison, awaiting the fate that Genkai and Yusuke were planning for him. He was beginning to feel sad for himself... hell, he even began crying. Kazuma Kuwabara, watching from inside the glass, could only feel sorry for him, despite the fact he was the dreadful enemy they had all come to Heaven to face.
"Man... maybe he's finally realizing what he did. Maybe... this is what Yusuke wanted."
"That, my dear boy, was exactly what he wanted."
Genkai had suddenly appeared behind Kazuma and Koenma. She was looking very frail: the trap Satan had set for her was quick, but still very painful. (A/N: you need to travel through a Portal to go to Hell safely or you'll get burned. That's what happened to Genkai.)
"So, you're saying Yusuke wants Satan to realize his mistakes?"
Genkai nodded.
"Ever pay attention in English? The word 'reconcile' may have come to mind. It means to resolve or accept a certain fact. This is exactly what Yusuke's going to do. He's preparing to pray to God in Heaven very soon. As soon as Satan begins sobbing 'why' through his tears, we'll know he's ready to reconcile. All we can do now is watch him."
Koenma and Kazuma nodded and looked through the glass to where Satan was sitting. No one said a word.
---Spirit World, Outside---
Yusuke breathed deeply through his nose, feeling the cool wind air of Spirit World against his cheek. This had not been a pleasant day, but soon it would all be over. All he could do now is wait. Beside him, Botan clung to his arm, breathing deeply just as Yusuke was. The breeze was too much for her, however, and was making her look very blue. She didn't find it interesting, but the blue really did match her hair when she looked up.
"This is what we all should be doing, Botan. Reconciling for our sins. God wants us to be proud of ourselves for who we are, not what other people think or what religions they follow. He wants us to live in a world of no wars and no fighting, no bloodshed or chaos. This is the 'promised land' He was leading the Jewish and Christian people to, according to the Bible. I guess he just decided to pass the torch to me now."
Botan chucked slightly, and the wind seemed to chuckle with her as she looked up into Yusuke's eyes.
"You've been doing a whole lot of thinking and reading lately, haven't you?"
Yusuke merely smiled, looked down into Botan's eyes, and grabbed her lips with his own. The kiss was cut short, however, by Genkai's loud voice heard over the wind.
"Yusuke... he's ready. May the light be with you, and lead way to a new path."
Yusuke nodded, and turned back to the winds. Immediately taking a pose of reverence, he began the Ritual of Reconciliation.
"This is the hour of truth, O God.
Today, one of our own has chosen the path of righteousness.
Together, let us lead the way to his forgiveness.
Lead him to the Promised Land, as you did so long ago.
Bring him to the light of the world,
And take him away from the sin and hatred he was born into so long ago.
God...
He is here to be reconciled.
Give him the chance to return his deeds to you.
Amen."
The winds all around them immediately picked up, and suddenly, they were caught up in a whirlwind of purification. The light entered the mysterious old dome and engulfed Satan in light. Twisting and aching, Satan was in deep pain, but he was slowly transitioning from Hell to Heaven. Within minutes, the light had completely entered Satan's body, and he lost all sense of Devil powers. Magically, it seemed he was no longer Satan of Hell, but he was again Saomi Urameshi, the happy, fun-loving child of immigrants who sought to bring about a new world order. Overwhelmed with happiness, Saomi began crying with tears of joy.
"I'm back to my old self again... Spirit Energy has been purified, and now runs through my veins. Yusuke, you have saved me! You have saved me!!!"
Genkai took down the electronic barrier and allowed Saomi to run wildly through the building, shouting "Freedom!!" over and over again to the whole world. Such was the happiness of Botan and Yusuke, who were waiting for him at the front gate of the building. For a long time, Yusuke and Saomi stared each other down. Then, with great gratitude, Saomi hugged his dear descendant.
"My great-great-great-great-great grandson... you are truly a miracle worker!!"
::He's not mad at me... he doesn't even remember. Good, I did it right for once. Thanks, God. I owe you one, ok?::
Botan, too, hugged Saomi with a big smile.
"Welcome to the light, Saomi. Welcome back to the light."
Saomi smiled with such wide eyes that seemed too big for his face. In an instant, however, he cleared his eyes and stood proud. Botan looked at him, sun shining on his back, and she nearly fainted.
::He looks so much like Yusuke now, it's uncanny.::
Genkai then walked up beside Botan and watched the two Urameshis converse.
"He's grown since this war began, both spiritually, mentally, and physically. Religion has entered his life, and probably will never let go until his death. I guess we can safely say that Yusuke's going to be all right in this life."
Botan nodded and chuckled at the thought of an old, 100-year-old Yusuke.
"Reconciliation... such a powerful thing, isn't it, Genkai? One minute, you're this evil person who doesn't understand anything but power and glory, and suddenly, you're this nice person who loves everything around him and has happy conversations with everyone."
Botan looked down with a slightly puzzled face and popped another question at Genkai.
"Does this mean the war's over?"
Genkai nodded with a smile.
"As soon as Hiei, Kurama, and Shiziru wipe up the last of the Devilkin and Cultivated Humans, it will all be over. Koenma's probably mad that he has to clean up Spirit World and drain the River Styx."
"Damn straight I am!"
The teenage Koenma came up behind the two women with a look in his eyes like nothing anyone had ever seen before.
"Of course, the River Styx isn't my business - it's Botan's. But everything else, I have to clean, mop, soil, and rust WITHOUT OGRE HELP!! At least all of you can be there. I'm counting on you all!"
Botan and Genkai looked at each other, nodded, then both made a move at Koenma. Botan was faster.
(SMACKKK!!) (SHIZZACK!!!)
Botan's oar came first, giving Koenma more teeth knockouts for the tooth fairy. Genkai's right hooker gave Koenma a bloody nose.
"Ok, ok! So I won't make you help! Still..."
Suddenly, from out of the sky, a giant figure flew down from the heavens. Crash-landing in the dome (which demolished the dome and created a large crater in its place), the figure was revealed to be a person - none other than Naosomi. However, he wasn't dressed in his black ninja outfit - he was attired in Yusuke's green clothes. A shock of terror came over Yusuke and Saomi's faces.
"Satan..."
Everyone else was petrified at what they heard. Naosomi, their trusted leader, the Devil King himself? Only Genkai seemed to believe Yusuke.
"Dammit, Yusuke! You ruined my plans, you destroyed my hope, and you took away my greatest soldier!! Now, your sins will return - as PAIN!!"
Satan stretched out his palm and a small, red beam began forming on his palm. Staring straight at Yusuke, Satan thrust his palm out at Yusuke and shouted.
"SIN OF KARMA!!"
(Sin of Karma: the user must stare at the target and concentrate on their heart, extracting every sin from within their memories and transform it into Spirit Energy to use for a powerful blast.)
Yusuke, paralyzed in place, couldn't dodge the attack. He could only brace himself for his pain - but it never came. Looking up, Yusuke saw Saomi in front of him, taking the blast.
"No, don't!"
Yusuke tried to push Saomi out of the way to no avail. Saomi stood his own ground, screaming in pain. At last the attack was over and Saomi was on the ground, nearing death.
"Saomi..."
Saomi opened one of his eyes and stared straight into Yusuke's.
"I'm the reason for your sins... let me repent for them. See you in heaven... my son."
With one last gasp, Saomi Urameshi was dead. Yusuke cried hard, and Satan merely smirked an evil smirk.
"Ha! Five minutes after revival, and he's dead! Now, it's you and me, boy!"
"No... NOW IT'S JUST YOU!! SIN REPENT!!!!!"
(Sin Repent: in a mere second, Yusuke learned this powerful return to Sin of Karma. Absorbing the Spirit Energy of a person hit with Sin of Karma, the user combines the SE with his own SE to create a blast that destroys any person or machine in the way.)
No longer was Satan standing there - instead, there was a crater, almost as big as the one from the crash landing. Yusuke's eyes were filled with tears as he lowered his hands.
"That was too risky... for me... See you in a few days, Botan."
Yusuke fell to the ground, unconscious. Genkai smiled.
::Well done, Yusuke. Well done...::
-Repent - to be forgiven for your sins. Yusuke's new faith in him has shown as he takes down the real Satan. Within a few days, he recovered and embraced in Botan's love again. Genkai, Shiziru, and Kurama formed a training circle and helped each other get stronger, while Kazuma continues to train with Yusuke in private sessions. However... no one knew where Hiei had gone... You'll have to read my next fiction on YYH to find out where he is and what he's doing! Good-bye!-
