Soul hunter

AN: Okay, I took a very long break since school's started this year. This chapter's longer than the others (though still not that long) so maybe that'll somehow make up for it. I saw an episode of Charmed the other day when Piper and Leo got sent to Limbo and everything was grey but there were no people. Well yeah hope you enjoy this chapter and sorry for the long absence.

Chapter 3-Revenge is not so sweet

Tyson came to a stop behind Kai who was peering from behind a building. "Hey, what are you doing?" Tyson asked before being immediately silenced by Kai's fearsome glare.

"Shhhhhhh…Boris is already here." Kai whispered harshly, turning his head back to spy on the soul hunter.

Tyson stretched out his neck and looked onto the scene that had Kai so fascinated. Standing outside of what would have been the Tokyo hospital if they were in the living world, was the feared soul hunter, his black hood still covering his face. He stood beside his chariot looking intently into the hospital building. A wicked smiled curled up on his face before he placed one foot in front of the other and headed into the hospital building. Shortly after Boris disappeared into the building Kai hastily followed suit.

"Hey! Kai, what are you mad? Why are you following that creep?" Tyson yelled as silently as he could and grabbed Kai's wrist preventing Kai from entering the hospital.

Kai's eyes narrowed, glaring down at Tyson's hand that was wrapped around his wrist. "Let go of me." Kai growled in a low and intimidating voice.

Tyson feeling threatened dropped Kai's wrist. "Why are we following the soul hunter?" Tyson repeated again.

"Who said we were going anywhere?" Kai replied with emphasis on the we. "I'm going in to settle some scores with Boris. You go back to the cherub lights and don't follow me 'cause I'm not saving your ass." With that said, Kai turned back to his business and walked through the hospital door.

Tyson watched Kai walk into the building, despite his worry and fear of the soul hunter, he ran into the building after Kai. As soon as Tyson entered the hospital building he was lost. The entrance was full of patients, visitors and nurses. It was another busy day at the Tokyo hospital, the sea of grey people clouded Tyson's view. When Tyson had walked through the crowd Kai was already long gone. Tyson sighed and juggled with his options. He could either go back to the safety of the lights or he could wander around this hospital and hopefully not bump into the soul hunter. Tyson was never very bright nor was he good at sitting still, so he chose to wander around the hospital and hopefully not bump into the soul hunter.

Meanwhile Kai had made his way up to the second floor. He turned at a corner where it read "Children's Ward" and walked down its dark and gloomy corridors. Kai's footsteps stopped in front of room 211. 'So this is where he is.' Kai thought to himself before he tensed his body and walked into the room.

The room was quite a nice little room. It was made for the children with blue skies, clouds and rainbows painted on the walls. Only problem was that it's all grey and well this room also contained the much hated and feared soul hunter. The dark cloaked servant of Satan had his hands outstretched which were clinging onto a little boy whose frightened eyes were hidden behind a pair of thick glasses.

"Long time no see Boris!" Kai's voice boomed in the room. Hearing the familiar voice Boris immediately dropped the kid on the floor and swung his head around to face the blue haired boy.

"Well, it isn't like you to make a loud entrance. I never thought that I would get the chance to see you twice in a day. " Boris responded.

Kai played a smirk on his lips before the words "Catch me if you can." uttered out of his mouth.

And so the chase begins. Kai sped out of the room with Boris behind him. Two years' worth of running and hiding from the soul hunter proved to have given Kai advantages in speed and in the art of dodging and hiding. Kai ran through the many corridors and stairs in the hospital Boris was now trailing slowly behind him. Before he knew it Kai was back at the front reception of the hospital. 'Time to make my getaway.' Kai thought to himself. He ran through the sea of people to get to the entrance but before he could make it out of the hospital his feet halted right before the glass doors.

"Damn it." Kai cursed under his breath. 'What the hell are they doing here?' sighing and rolling his eyes at his misfortune. Kai turned 90 degrees and headed off to his right. Running through people along the way Kai was now headed towards the back entrance of the hospital but before he could reach it his misfortune caused him to run into someone. "Tyson!" Kai cursed. "Fuck, get up!" Kai yelled as he turned to take a glance behind them.

"Oww…Kai? Watch where you're going!" Tyson mumbled and complained as he sluggishly pulled himself from the ground.

"Ah Shit." Tyson heard Kai mutter under his breath. Kai's head was looking in the direction of four people. People who were not grey, people undoubtly of this world. Not too far behind the four boys was Mr. Soulhunter himself.

"Huh?" Tyson muttered. "Hey Kai, they're kids just like us. The soul hunter's probably after them as well! What should we do?"

Kai turned his head back to the direction his body was facing and looked directly at Tyson with a rather calm, collected and menacing look. "Run, you idiot." He spoke before he took off again.

Tyson stumbled after Kai as they both stormed down the corridor. "Hey…Kai…shouldn't we help those guys…back there?" Tyson managed between the puffing.

He could distinctly hear a sigh coming from Kai before the word "idiot". "They're not kids like us, they're Boris' personal destruction crew." Kai explained. He ran through two doors that marked the exit to the hospital. Outside they were able to slow down a bit no longer burdened down by the constricting walls. (AN: Not that they can't run through walls or anything just that if they were to go through the walls it will get them lost.)

"Wait…wait up Kai." Tyson yelled out to the figure ahead of him. "What do you mean…"

Kai being so fed up with Tyson and his constant nagging and questioning that he abruptly stopped in his tracks causing Tyson to almost but luckily didn't (otherwise it would be an extremely pissed off Kai) run into the blue haired boy. Kai's angry intimidating face slowly appeared in front of Tyson's.

"What do you think? They work for BORIS!! And now thanks to you I'm going to have to fight them." Kai accused. Without wasting another moment Kai placed a hand on his heart for a brief moment. When he removed his hand, a red light glowed from a concentrated centre on his palm. Boris and the four boys stopped ten meters away from the duo, they were now outside in the car park of the hospital.

"You want to fight? Is that it Kai?" One of the boys shouted. Not waiting any longer, Kai clapsed his hand closed, red flames exploded from his fist and wavered in the air before it gathered creating a blinding flash of red light. The light disappeared after a split second, from within emerged a vibrant red beast with wings. Wings of red flames, this phoenix lightened up the sky and looked down at its master and enemies.

"Come on Dranzer! Don't go easy on them!" Kai commanded to his flying comrade. With the advantage of flight, Dranzer immediately obeyed, she dove from the sky straight at the head of the group. Red clashed with red. The red haired leader was knocked down well on the floor before he had the chance to call out his own sacred spirit.

"You underestimate us too much Kai." a smaller member of the group spat out while the other two bent down to help their leader up.

"We'll see." Kai replied with a cocky voice and confident smile.

"Frankly I agree with them." A new voice joined in. All heads were turned to the source of the voice. On the other side of the parking lot stood two boys.

'Rei.' Kai muttered in his mind. 'Just had to meddle in. That pesky angel.'

"Four against one is unfair. Don't you agree Max?" The boy with the ponytail looked over his shoulder to meet a blonde boy. His response was a nod.

"Rei…get out of here." Kai said sternly.

The raven haired boy along with the blonde started making their way to the battle scene. "I don't think so Kai. I see the Demolition Boys are giving you trouble again. Even though you're not of Heaven's concern, they are. Let us help you take care of them." Rei offered.

"I can take care of them myself. Dranzer has no problems with fighting them." Kai persisted.

Rei and Max has now stopped walking and stood as a third party making sure that they weren't too close to the angered Kai. Rei gave Kai a smile "I know you can take care of them but it's not them that I'm worried about Kai. You and I both know that Dranzer's powers can't harm the Soulhunter, which is why you are left with running away whenever you're facing him."

Kai bit down his tongue there was nothing he can say in this argument. He had originally planned on beating the Demolition Boys and then running away from Boris, but that possessed three major problems. One he would have to dodge Boris at the same time that Dranzer's fighting. Two if Dranzer was hurt then so would he meaning that it would be an easier catch for Boris and three if he planned on running later, there shouldn't be much of a problem with him getting away but there is no doubt that Tyson would get caught. Despite his hatred towards Tyson, he couldn't let Boris take any more souls. Why? Because it's the only way he knows how to get revenge on Boris since Dranzer's attacks doesn't work on him.

"Arghh! You stupid angels!" Boris exclaimed, his angered face was hidden within the hood of his cloak. "Kai, I almost had you this time it won't be long till our next confrontation. I'll get you next time." Boris hissed. Turning around his cloak swayed in the wind, he stormed off along with the Demolition Boys avoiding confrontation with the angels.

Once the menaces were out of sight Rei turned his attention back to Kai. "I don't know why you always create trouble for yourself." Rei spoke. "But thanks to you Boris didn't get his hands on Tyson or Kenny."

"Kenny?" Kai arched an eyebrow at the name. At the same time Dranzer's aura started fading.

Rei smiled, "Yeah Kenny, the little boy in the hospital that you saved from the soul hunter."

At this Kai rolled his eyes. "Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to save anyone. I did it simply to spike Boris." Kai disclosed. Now the firey phoenix's bright light was completely gone, the spirit disappeared out of sight.

"Why? Shouldn't you be focusing on how to get out of here instead of creating trouble for Boris and yourself?" Rei asked his voice was a mix of worry, anger and frustration.

Kai averted his eyes, glancing away from Rei's gaze. "You wouldn't understand." Kai muttered.

"Dammit Kai!" Rei suddenly getting agitated, "What don't I understand? What's keeping you in this place?" Rei screamed out questioning the blue haired boy.

"Boris." Kai replied after a while of thought and silence. "Ever since I woke up in this place I've had no memories, no recollection of my past, my life. I didn't who I was or what I was till I met Boris here in Limbo. He knew my name something at the time I didn't even know. For two years I've wondered this place hoping something I see of the living world will bring me answers of who I am. But up to this day Boris is the only one that's provided me with something to remember by, my name. He always called out 'Kai' when he's chasing me. He knows about my past and I know that he's connected to my death." Kai finished.

It took a while for Rei to speak again but when he did his angered tone didn't change. "Some things are meant to be forgotten. It's true that it's rare to find people who doesn't remember about their past but that's because they didn't want to remember. Kai you can't keep going like this, sooner or later he's going to capture you. Just forget about it, forget about what he knows or might know. Memories of your past life is useless here in the afterlife anyway."

Kai's firey eyes met up with Rei's again, they were as intense as ever. "I told you you wouldn't understand. Whether it's my past life or the afterlife they still are apart of me, they make up who I am. Frankly I don't care if he catches me maybe then I'll find out more about myself."

Rei sighed, he shouldn't have bothered trying. He's had one of these talks with Kai before but can never persuade Kai to forget about what he doesn't know. "Come on," Rei said changing the subject, "we'd better get back to the lights where we left Kenny. Tyson you're coming with us and you'd better come too Kai."

Tyson who has been standing on the sideline all this time blinked over and over again. "Wait…" He finally managed to say. "How do you know my name?"

Rei smiled warmly at Tyson. "I'm your guardian."
