Botan was turning the corner and humming the ending theme song of the
anime, Curious Play OVA when she saw a pink light appearing in front of
Koenma's door. The light solidified into the form of a young girl. As the
figure moved to the door, Botan shouted at her. Koenma and the Reikai
Tantei were closeted behind that door, being debriefed by Koenma after the
latter's latest mission. "You can't go in there…" she began, until she saw
the floor being stained by blood. Looking up, she saw that it was Naoko!
The young girl ignored her and pushed open the double doors of Koenma's
office. Her message was urgent.
Since the doors were light, they opened easily and since she pushed them hard, they slammed into the wall, and were stuck there. Looking up, the YYH boys were shocked to see her, but especially Koenma. Naoko was wearing a short black, bloodstained and sleeveless pleated Grecian gown. The two badges at her shoulders that held the gown together told him that she was here in the capacity of the Goddess of Death (Greek version), Celeste. "Koenma-sama! The temples of Celeste have been breached! The gates of Hell are open!" she shouted, trying to walk, but failing miserably. She fainted unto the floor and as they rushed towards her, Koenma shouted some orders out. Crimson blood stained the pear-white floor, as Naoko's life force slowly drained away.
In no time at all, the Reikai Tantei was at the site of the breaches. Sukina was in slightly better condition than her sister. While Naoko had been seriously wounded, Sukina didn't spot any bloody wounds, but there was no doubt that she was going to. Naoko's statement was slightly exaggerated. The gates of Hell were open, but not fully yet. The demons were trying to escape, but they couldn't. All the Divine Beings (Gods and Goddesses from various cultures, even forgotten ones) were holding them back with their human disciples, but they couldn't for long.
"We have to find a sealer powerful enough to seal the breaches in my Temples," Celeste told them. She was holding Sukina in her arms, as the blond young girl was near faint.
"Who could be so powerful?" they asked, but Koenma already had an answer.
"Not who. What. The Crystal Rose?" he asked Celeste.
Celeste nodded sadly, but Sukina was shaking her head vehemently. "No! It's not time yet! There has to be another way!" she said, but she was very weak. Celeste, her black hair swaying in the wind as she shook her head, whispered to her gently, before looking at up at Koenma again. "You know what is at stake, little cousin. Karma will guide you, but she's away now. She doesn't know herself where the Crystal Rose was hidden, only that it will be found again. Take Sukina and Alexis with you. They'll be your guide to finding the others. They know them anyway," Celeste asked, but Koenma was staring at her.
"They know the other chosen ones already?" he said, motioning to the boys to take Sukina, who was unconscious by now.
"Of course. Why do you think she was afraid of the Rose?" Celeste said turning away from him. "You only have a few years, so hurry!" she said, gathering her chi and adding her strength to the others'.
