Soul hunter

AN: If you get confused about anything just ask.

Chapter 2-Denial

Kai closed his eyes as he leaned against the wall of the building in the alleyway where the cherub light is situated. Tyson hasn't spoken a word since he revealed where they were. That is until…

"KAI!" The voice caused Kai's eyes to jerk open. Upon opening them he found himself face to face with Tyson's. 'I knew it. It was only the calm before the storm. Why is this guy standing in front of me?' Kai's train of thoughts stopped when the other boy started raving.

"Kai, you're wrong! This can't be Limbo. This is Earth and I'm standing in a nice little alleyway located somewhere in Tokyo. I'm not DEAD! How can I be dead?! Even if I am dead I shouldn't be here. Limbo, that's where the unbaptised and bad kids go. I was baptised, I'm not a bad guy. So…so I can't be stuck in Limbo." Tyson yelled, more to convince himself rather than telling off Kai.

Kai watched Tyson, eyebrows raised as the brightly clothed boy walked away, pacing around in the circle of light mumbling to himself. "Denial isn't going to get you out of here." Kai spoke up. Tyson stopped in mid pace and turned around to look at Kai. His head shaking from side to side obviously still in denial.

"Limbo, it isn't suppose to be like this. There isn't meant to be a…a soul hunter here. There isn't supposed to be anything here. I'm not suppose to be here!" Tyson shouted back.

Kai rolled his eyes before his face hardened. "Listen here! You are in LIMBO! I don't care what you think Limbo is supposed to be, because this is it! If you don't like it then complain to someone else about it!" Before you know it Kai stepped out of the heavenly lights and stalked back onto the main street.

"Huh?" Tyson puzzled over Kai's actions before he shouted out to Kai's back. "Where-where are you going? Wouldn't the soul hunter be after you?"

"I don't care! I'd rather take my chances with Boris than stay here and listen to your nonsense." Kai replied before disappearing behind a building.

Looking around nervously Tyson exited the cherub lights and followed, not wanting to be left alone in this unfamiliar place. Turning the bend Tyson spotted Kai on the path up ahead. "Hey! Where are we going?" Tyson yelled to the teen walking up in front.

'We? Is that guy still following me? Should've let Boris take him' Kai thought still walking up ahead not bothering to reply.

"Hey buddy! I'm asking you, where are we going?!" Tyson asked again.

'Buddy? Who does he think I am? Limbo's friendliest tour guide? Come to think of it, where am I going?' Kai asked himself before he quickly answered his own question. "To get away from that annoying freak." 'Not exactly working at the moment.' Before long he was back at the place where he first met the boy. The crowd that was originally there has died down revealing the scene. 'Must be the place where that kid died.' Kai thought stopping to look. 'I should probably tell him, it'll stop his whining.'

Kai waited for Tyson to catch up, then pointed to the middle of the road. "I'm guessing that's where you died." He said.

Tyson followed Kai's finger and looked onto the road. He saw a few policemen there, some road workers blocking the road, a car stationery in the middle and a black puddle. 'Wait…is…is that puddle blood? My blood?'

"Looks like you were run over by a car." Kai spoke observing the scene some more. "Come on, let's get out of here, it's not good to dwell on the past."

Kai started walking away again, but this time Tyson didn't follow. Instead he walked out to the middle of the road. Looking around he noted that there was a lot of commotion, yet he couldn't hear anything that was going on. 'I guess I'm not on Earth anymore.' Tyson thought. He took another sad look at the people around and noticed someone in the crowd crying. As he got closer, the grey face appeared clearer.

"Grandpa…?" Tyson muttered as he ran to the old man's side. "Grandpa! It's okay! I'm right here. I'm right here!" Tyson shouted in his grandpa's face but no reaction came from the white hair man or anyone around them. Tyson reached out his hand trying to grab hold of his grandpa's shaking form, only to have his arms pass right through him. "Grandpa…" Tyson muttered once more before his eyes weld up in tears.

Kai had turned around when he heard Tyson's shouting. He rolled his eyes and mentally cursed himself as he walked back toward Tyson. 'Why oh why am I going back? This is my one chance to get rid of him. I am so gonna regret this.' He thought as he came to a stop behind Tyson.

"Come on, you can't stay here. The more you see of your old life the harder it is to let go. It's another reason you'll be stuck in Limbo." Kai said, though his tone of voice is still as cold as ever, the words he spoke certainly weren't. Kai turned and left Tyson to make up his own mind. Kai smirked a kind of smile when he heard footsteps running after him.

"Hey! Wait up!"

Upon hearing Tyson's voice his mind quickly switched. 'Great, I'm starting to regret it already.'

"So where are we going?" Tyson asked as soon as he had caught up.

"Nowhere." Kai replied.

"What do you mean nowhere? We're walking aren't we? So we must be going somewhere." Tyson protested to Kai's answer.

"Haven't you realised that there is nothing in Limbo? The streets, the buildings, the people, they're not here. It's just a reflection of the living world. So how can we be going somewhere if there is nowhere to go?" Kai replied showing a slight annoyance in his tone.

Suddenly Kai's senses picked up something. He looked up into the sky and saw a white floating trail of light. It streamed across the sky and disappeared behind the tall buildings.

"Whoa, what was that?" Tyson asked.

"Another soul, it's entered Limbo." Kai answered. "I bet Boris is hot on its trail. I better get there fast." Kai started running fast in the direction where the stream of light was last seen.

"Hey, where are you going? Why do you want to go where Boris is?" Tyson asked before he was in hot pursuit after Kai.
