AN: I know you must be saying…."OMG!! WTH?? She UPDATED?? She's still ALIVE and WRITING??" well…updated? Yes. Alive? Barely and I'll be dead in a few days anyways. Writing? Hehe just got back to writing yesterday.
I was gonna write more for my other story souless but ta…after writing two lines I remember why I stopped writing 'coz I was stuck!! And stuck big time!! So I picked up on this story instead. Hehe I had such a brilliant thought for this story yesterday. It's not what I had originally planned it's BETTER!! Well this chapter is kinda a filler chapter. All talking and no action in this chapter. But still read it, it explains a lot of things that needs to be explained and raises more questions that'll lead to the main event which will surely shock you!! Well unless you already guessed it but still it'll still shock you guaranteed. .
Oh yeah forgot to apologise for the MAJOR DELAY in this story. It can't be helped I found reading manga a lot more interesting then writing this story and that's how it was. Anyways I'm sorry!! Hope I haven't lost my touch for my stories.
Chapter 4- Mysteries of the Afterlife
"So Rei is my guardian angel and Max is Kenny's guardian angel?" Tyson asked once they have gotten back to the safety of the lights.
"Well…not exactly." Rei replied.
This caused more confusion for Tyson, just when he was starting to understand a little of this complicating situation. "So…what are you then?"
"Well…we're not exactly of the 'guardian angel' sort. You see me and Max are here to escort souls up to heaven or if they have something to finish off we're here to protect them from the Soulhunter and the Demolition crew till they are able to move on. Guardian angels are ones who look after you when you're still alive, we look after you when you're in Limbo. Max and I are in the 'battle angel' category since we deal with demons." Rei explained hoping Tyson might catch some of that. His hopes were diminished when Tyson's dumb confused look just got dumber.
"In other words, Rei isn't strong enough as a battle angel so he gets the job of protecting losers like you." Kai remarked with a smirk on his face.
"Hey!" Rei exclaimed aiming a fist at Kai's head knowing Kai will dodge and dodge he did. Letting off some steam Rei remarked back. "Well at least my powers work against a certain soul hunter."
Kai glared at Rei for a short moment. "Pft…what good is it if you can't kill him?"
"Why don't you just sent out stronger angels to kill him then?" the much ignored brown haired glasses boy named Kenny spoke.
Max shook his head, "We can't," he explained "The soul hunter can't be destroyed. His powers aren't strong but he has a certain resistance to our attacks, we can only wound him but he can never be destroyed by any power of good. Only a demon of a higher rank can kill him and frankly the only person above him is Satan himself."
"Why? Why is that?" Kenny asked.
Rei shrugged, "Don't know, another mystery of the afterlife. It was said that he was created by Satan and only Satan himself can get rid of him."
"Wait…" Tyson spoke after a while. "If I have a guardian and Kenny here has one too then shouldn't Kai have one as well?" Tyson asked curiously.
Rei glanced at Kai but couldn't tell anything from the clouded crimson eyes that always hid away his feelings. After a while seeing that Kai wouldn't display any feelings of…anything Rei spoke. "Kai…Kai was never assigned a guardian."
"Oh." Tyson didn't say anymore.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense and uneasy Rei tried desperately to lighten the mood. "Oh don't worry, it's not like Kai's going to Hell or anything…heh heh heh. Well I guess bad people don't get guardians not from heaven anyway but Kai's a good guy. He may be a sourpuss and scold at you all the time but there's definitely a good side." Rei finished realising that he may have said too much. 'Ah oh…me and my stupid blunt mouth.'
Kai rolled his eyes to one side. "Piss off." He muttered. He knew that Rei was only trying to help the matter but angels always makes things worse because they don't understand anything. 'They're too freakin' innocent to know anything.'
"Oh yeah, sorry Kai forgot to introduce Max to you." Rei said leaving the subject alone and starting a new one. "Well this is Max." Rei gestured a hand towards Max.
Max waved and smiled a brilliant cheerful smile. "Hi Kai," He said. "It's good to finally meet you, I've heard about you from Rei." To which Kai did not respond.
"He just joined us, so he's fairly new to this Limbo business and all the procedures." Rei continued on. "Max's my new partner since you scared my old one away. Haha Mariah said she couldn't take it anymore and that you were driving her insane."
Kai snickered at this. "I thought as much. But it's her that driving me insane. Glad you got rid of her Rei." Kai smirked at this and at Rei's fumed face knowing perfectly well how Rei had felt for Mariah.
Before Rei could lay his hands on Kai or attempt to anyways, Kenny raised another question. "Rei, how do you guys know each other?" addressing this question to Rei, who was the friendlier of the two.
"Oh, it was purely by accident." Rei exclaimed. "I met Kai a year ago when I was down here on a mission with Mariah." Rei stopped and snickered for a moment. "Well Mariah had mistaken Kai for a Demolition boy and attacked him. And Kai being Kai attacked back with full force. Neither of them came out looking that good I must say."
"Pfft, I would've if only you didn't show up. Two kitties gaining up on one bird isn't exactly fair." Kai remarked.
"Well anyways…" Rei continuesd. "That's the start of the hate war between those two. Haha and we've been friends ever since right Kai?"
"You wish." Kai replied. "Your kitty tried to bite my Dranzer's wings off."
"Er…" To this Rei sweatdropped. "Well we got off on a rocky start but we've always bailed each other out of trouble."
"Yeah right, I couldn't get you off my back. Whenever I wanted a little fight to exercise Dranzer's wings, you'd always appear and scare the damn little demons away." Kai smirked a little. Though his voice and words are always harsh they were somewhat lighter when he's speaking with Rei.
"Hey, hey!!" Tyson spoke from the side. "Err…could you guys tell me what exactly is that red thing that came out of Kai?"
Kai arched an eyebrow at Tyson with his arms folded across his chest. "What are you calling a 'thing'? Dranzer is my sacred spirirt. She's a phoenix that's bailed me out of trouble since my first encounter with the Demolition Boys."
Rei explained further. "They say the sacred spirits are born from your soul. They take on whatever shape that best represents your soul. Your spirit is as strong as your will, so if you have a strong will then your sacred spirit will be strong too."
Tyson's eyes widened. "Wow! Cool! Do I get one too?" Tyson asked in excitement.
Rei laughed lightly. "Haha sorry Tyson, not until you enter Heaven and even then you won't have one till you join the 'BAA' (AN: LOL, lame I know) The 'Battle Angel Association'."
"Huh?" Tyson blinked. "Then how come Kai has one?"
This was another uneasy question. "Err…well you see…" Rei began taking a glance in Kai's direction. "That's another mystery. Unless you're a Battle Angel or a Middle class Demon then you're not supposed to have a sacred spirit with you. It is not known why Kai has a spirit. I…I tried to check up on Kai's matter with the elder Angels but they all told me to leave the matter alone."
"It seems that I'm rejected by Heaven and seriously wanted in Hell." Kai spoke up. "There's something that Heaven and Hell are hiding from me. I'm going to find out what that is!" Kai said with determination.
"Kai, something like that, do you really want to find out what it is?" Rei asked.
"No matter what it is, where it leads me. I have to know."
AN: yeah…sorry to cut it there but that's it for this chapter. Hehe "evil snickering" I've got good plans for this story…yup very good plans. review and I'll write more hopefully soon.
