I figured I might as well squeeze in one more update before I go on vacation. Again, don't look for me until next Wednesday. Prepare to learn the true identity of the four angels of heaven and their plot.
Oh and for those of you wondering about me saying Yusuke being a demon, I'll explain. In the show after Yusuke is killed by Sensui (spoiler), Koenma's father dispatches soldiers to destroy Yusuke's body because Yusuke's ancestor was an S class demon from a line of demon called "Ma-zoku" Now that Yusuke has become powerful enough, his demon genes will take over him and bring him back to life, stronger and this time as a demon. As you could guess, Yusuke comes back to life, stronger then ever, and resumes his battle with Sensui. But that's all I'm saying.
Sorry to spoil the Chapter Black saga for you, but I just wanted to clear things up for those who don't understand what's going on.
Now read please. And review if you feel like it.

"The four angels of Heaven were originally the ones who ran most of the world before I assumed full responsibility. Each of them had four names: Life, Death, Ferryman, and the leader, Judgment."
"Why don't they have human names?" Yusuke asked.
"Because their names represented each of their jobs in spirit world. Each of them was in charge of a different job for my father."
"Explain more to us." Kurama said.
"Very well. Life, as his name suggested, created souls to be sent down to earth. He would create a year's worth of souls to be born, send them to earth to be born from human women, then rest for the rest of the year and repeat his task. Death was similar to life, except he would select a year's worth of lives to end instead of begin. Ferryman was originally in charge of the river Styx. He would ferry human souls across the river to be brought before Judgment. And Judgment, the wisest and most powerful of the angels, would determine whether the souls would go to the higher or lower parts of the spirit world. All four of them worked together under the watchful eye of my father."
"Wait a minute!" Yusuke chimed. "If these guys ran the show, what about you? Were you just sitting on your ass eating cake and ice cream the whole time while they just did the work?"
"My duties were mostly ceremonial back then Yusuke. This was back during biblical times, back during the days when the son of God still walked the earth. Around the year 103 A.D., I assumed power and took control of the spirit world."
"So your saying these angels are coming after us because their angry over losing their jobs?"
Koenma glared slightly. "Stop with the jokes Yusuke. They did not lose their jobs. Their roles in spirit world simply changed. Instead of their original jobs, they became guardians for the upper parts of spirit world. Me and my father also used them to keep the most dangerous demons in line. Back then, before the kekai barrier was made, demons walked freely on earth. Even S class demons could sometimes be seen on earth."
"S class apparitions on earth… Remarkable!" Kurama said in awe.
"Like I said, the angels kept the demons in check until the kekai barrier was forged. Then they assumed a new job: guarding the spirit world from demons."
"If these guys aren't pissed off at you, why would they be attacking us?" Yusuke asked, intrigued by what he had heard.
"I don't know Yusuke. The four of them had each sworn loyalty to me and my father before they even began their work. Not once did they step out of line or defy an order. They have always been the perfect servants, and the perfect fighters. I never would have dreamed they would betray me."
"And how do you know it's them?"
"Because the color of the sky is a warning, Yusuke. Whenever the angels were going to mount an attack on a demon, their spirit energy went into the sky and turned it red, meaning blood would soon be spilt. Demon blood that is."
"So your saying there warning us because their about to kill us all?"
"Yes Yusuke, but I don't know how they'll be able to kill all of the humans. As powerful as they are, there's only four of them."
"I have a question Koenma." Hiei piped. "Just how powerful are these angels? Are they skilled fighters?"
Koenma's expression became serious. "Like I said Hiei, they were used to guard the upper parts of spirit world and they were used to dispatch powerful demons. Their powers are unimaginable. Even S class demons feared them."
"S class apparitions afraid of something, that can't be good for us." Yusuke thought.
"So how do we know where to locate these beings?" Kurama asked.
"I don't know Kurama. I really don't know. I'm afraid to say you'll have to search Tokyo until you find them. The only way to know for sure that an angel is nearby is that it radiates intense spirit energy. That's about the only clue I can give you."
Kuwabara groaned. "Great, we're going off on a wild goose chase! This could go on forever!"
Hiei smirked. "Fool. With my jagan eye I can see the true identity of a person in disguise. With my help, you can find them easily."
Yusuke grinned. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start the hunt!"
"Yes, I totally agree. Hiei and I will cover the west side of Tokyo. You and Kuwabara will take the eastern region. I still have two of the spirit world communicators so we can call each other if anything comes up." Kurama said, giving Yusuke a communicator.
"Alright then, let's go."
They spread out to start their search.
They failed to notice a figure with long blonde hair watching them from above in the sky.

The hotel was not much. It was just a Holiday Inn, but it was enough. Nobody would believe that this was the base of the legendary four.
Within one of the hotel suites, Judgment stood in front of a window, peering out over Tokyo. Once they located the first elemental point, they could begin their task.
As he peered out over the city, Life opened the entrance door and came in. Good, that meant he had information about the spirit detective.
"Master, it is as I expected. They are hunting for us." Life said solemnly.
"I still wouldn't worry Life." Judgment replied. "Even if they find us, we will be able to wipe them out."
"Very well then, master."
"I have located an elemental point Life. I would like you to occupy it."
"Give me the location master, and I will get right on it." Life said.
"The point is at…"
To be continued…
What is an elemental point you ask? You'll find out when I update!
