EPISODE TWO: PURGATORY
Mukuro and Hiei marched on in her territory, killing demons that weren't supposed to be there, doing the typical business as it were. This was daily process the two went through. In the morning and evening it would be quiet marches to kill all the trespassers in Mukuro's territory. It was a routine Hiei had grown quiet fond of. He was pleased to be able to cleanse his sword with blood once again. He heard Mukuro snort, and glanced back at her. She was looking down at her pants where some brain matter from a demon had splattered, and Hiei almost smiled. Mukuro was a very gruesome woman but she did not like it if she got covered in any "pieces."
"Dammit…" She muttered to herself glancing at Hiei. Hiei smirked and she gave him a scowl. She turned ordering, "Come on Hiei…enough standing around." Hiei stared at the back of the woman he had become so very fond of. Of course it wasn't that he liked her, he respected her for her power, and willingness to do anything to reach what she wanted-really that was it. Hiei didn't like anyone, and this woman was just someone he respected. Just like everyone else he knew in this life. Her orange hair shone, even in the dull sunlight. And despite the mark, that terrible mark she'd inflicted on herself, Hiei could not find her any less beautiful than if both sides of her face were unharmed. She turned to look at him wondering what was keeping him, and Hiei began to follow her. They walked on circling back for Mukuro's large home when the two suddenly stopped. She turned her head, Hiei following that action.
"Someone is here," Hiei muttered. Mukuro sighed, "When will they learn…sneaking in won't do them any good?" Hiei drew his sword, and waited. A few moments passed, no more then two heartbeats when without warning he'd sliced a tree down and came face to face with a pale and frightened Boeton.
"What are you doing here!?" He cried, not able to mask his surprise.
"Well that is a pleasant welcome, thank you Hiei!" Boeton grumpily sighed. She noticed Mukuro who stared critically at her and greeted her, "Oh hello there Miss Mukuro…ma'm." Mukuro said nothing back, but she folded her arms as if bored with the whole situation, "You're trespassing," She casually stated, Boeton smiling looking uncomfortable. She turned to Hiei, blue hair swishing behind her back and finally burst, "Hiei something bad has happened, it's about Kuwabara!" He looked at Boeton with a bored face, but there was a small sign that he was at least paying attention. His eyebrows had narrowed.
"What has that fool done now? Kidnapped?" Hiei asked impatiently wanting Boeton to get through with her theatrics.
"Yes…but no…well it's...WORSE!!" Boeton moaned shaking her head.
Hiei smiled, "Is he dying?"
"I honestly can't tell you that," Boeton whispered.
Hiei snorted, "Not allowed to reveal a person's death date ferry lady?" he asked sarcastically.
Boeton shook her head again, "No! No!" Tears where in her eyes now, "I don't-WE don't know if he's alive or dead!! We don't know how he is now since he took off last night!"
A brief moment of surprise passed over Hiei's face, his interest caught. "I thought you said he was taken?"
"Well…he was…bribed to go with this powerful demon! Not even Yenma can track him down!" The woman burst heart broken.
"Why would he do a stupid thing like following a demon if he's a human?" Mukuro interrupted brows raised.
"And what could this demon offer that would make Kuwabara go with him?" Hiei asked temper rising at Boeton's ineptness to hurry this conversation along.
Boeton looked at Mukuro, and then back to Hiei frantically. "It is all our fault!" Boeton groaned, "Mine, Koenma's, and Yenma's fault!"
"Hurry this up." Hiei sighed going from bored to angry and impatient.
"When he was ten, his parents were taken away. Kuwabara comes from a long line of priests, priestesses, and psychics; each new generation has been stronger than the first. The Spirit World knew Kuwabara's parents, and they had bee taken because Kuwabara's parents used to work for Yenma. We've been keeping this information from Kuwabara because…we just couldn't tell him that it was our fault he grew up without his family!" Hiei couldn't help but think Spirit World's reasons were entirely selfish. Hiei actually felt a twinge of sympathy for Kuwabara, Hiei hadn't known Kuwabara and Shizuru had been on their own all this time.
Boeton carried on with her explanation hands flapping wildly in the air, "You could say his parents were one of the first rekai, except they were working for Yenma. When they were taken, Yenma chose not to tell Kuwabara and Shizuru, and we were forbidden to. Oh if we had only told Kuwabara...then maybe…Well the demon that took Kuwabara's parents came back and told him of his parents, and Kuwabara went willingly with them...I don't blame him! He hasn't seen them in seven years! If he never speaks to us again then that would a kind gesture for what we've done!" Boeton put her hands to her face, fell on her knees and began to cry, finally breaking from the extreme guilt she had been feeling. "Now he will try to get Kuwabara to do what he wanted his parents to do!"
Mukuro looked at Boeton with pity and pulled her up. "Who is this demon, and what does he want the human to do?"
Boeton rubbed her red eyes, "The demon's name is Sage, and he's a demon monk. As for what he wants Kuwabara to do, it has something to do with O Terceiro Portão De Inferno." Hiei and Mukuro stiffened-all demons recognized that phrase.
"Doesn't that translate to, "The third gate of hell?" Isn't that it?" Hiei demanded, for the first time since the conversation started, looking worried. Boeton nodded. "There are four gates in all, one for those that are damned, the children's hell, purgatory, and limbo. The third gate is Purgatory. Purgatory is where your soul gets locked away in what can almost be a permanent misery. It is for something you can't forgive that sends you there! If that door is opened, you can go inside, and open the main gate of hell."
"Sage wants Kuwabara to open the gates of hell?" Hiei asked, eyes wide, and sweat on his brow now forgetting his composure. Boeton shook her head helplessly, "I don't know, I just know it has something to do with the third gate. But…if he wants Kuwabara to open it…I don't know how. I've been told that it takes someone very special to open that gate?…Could it be Kuwabara?" Boeton asked looking panicked.
Mukuro sighed, "I don't know anything about the human other then from what I've heard from Hiei. But if Sage thinks Kuwabara can open the gates of hell, you're friend is in danger. I know where he would be, where Sage would be. I know where he would have to go."
Boeton's eyes lit up at Mukuro's words, "Then will you tell me!?"
Mukuro nodded, "If he opened the gates, all worlds would be destroyed, even demon world. And I've sent a few people to hell that I would not want to see return again." Mukuro pointed up at the sun, "Follow the path the way the sun sets in the spirit world, and you'll come upon the Husane mountains. The location isn't wisely known, but that is where the gates are, just nestled between the cliffs of the mountains."
Hiei smiled looking at her, "And you know of this how?" Mukuro smiled back, "I may have thought of opening them once or twice."
Boeton hugged a very shocked Mukuro, and thanked them both over again. She got on her oar, but then stopped, "Hiei...will you not come with us? Kurama and Yusuke might need your help...and who knows what type of hell Kuwabara is going through..." Hiei snorted straightening back up, "He willingly went with Sage-his damn honor code and all that shit is probably what made him go. It's his own fault he's in this mess. Let the others deal with it. I'm not his keeper or his friend."
Boeton's face turned red with anger, and hot tears dripped down her face. She threw a wadded up piece of paper at him. "HE WANTED TO SEE YOU, YOU KNOW! HE WANTED TO SEE YOU! It's all in that letter! He cares for you even though you don't deserve it! YOU DON'T DESERVE IT!" She flew off, and Mukuro asked, "You want me to shoot her down?"
When she got no answer she turned seeing Hiei had picked up the crumpled up letter and was now fully engaged in the letter's content. Mukuro watched his eyes, which revealed the emotions he did not wear on his face and she glanced up where Boeton had been a moment ago. She kept a smile to herself and blandly said, "Hiei...you can go if you want. I'll wait for you." Hiei glanced over his shoulder, and walked off. "Like I said, I am not his keeper, and he is not my problem." And with that he let his energy burn away the letter in his hand.
MEANWHILE…
Kuwabara stirred for several minutes before he finally awoke.
Sitting up he grabbed at his tangled curls, and mumbled, "Haven't even had alcohol and I'm already experiencing my first hangover! Damn!" When Kuwabara felt he could open his eyes with out passing out, he rolled off the bed, and rose shakily to his feet. That had been a bad idea on his part. He quickly crumpled to the ground, letting a soft groan creep past his lips. Opening his eyes after several dizzying moments Kuwabara decided to look around from his current position on the floor. He was next to a bed, with red and black sheets, silver and gold curtains hung around the bed, and a dresser with a lamp sat next to his bed. Sighing he tried getting up again, and was relieved to be successful in this attempt.
Walking slowly around, he found several mirrors, taller than him on each wall, and with the mirrors Kuwabara was able to get a good look at himsel. "Who changed my clothes?" Kuwabara gasped surprised. Kuwabara wasn't shocked that his hair was down, but he was stunned to see himself wearing these strange white clothes. He was wearing a white and silvery shirt that hung loosely off his body, even daring to hang off his shoulder, and tight white pants that clung to his legs. "The shirt is too big and the pants too tight, yeah now I would really like to know who dressed me! I look like I'm going clubbing" Kuwabara groaned and turned back to the bed, when he noticed something hanging on the ceiling above the bed. Kuwabara climbed back on the bed and stood up to look at it.
It was a glass frame, taller and wider than him with an outfit inside it. A black sleeveless shirt, black pants, with three silver rings next to each pant leg. Other pieces of jewelry, a necklace missing a jewel, two arm bracelets, another band to go higher up on the arm, and two earrings, with long golden strands coming off silver balls. There was a black cloak behind all this, but what stood out, was what was above all this. Making up part of the frame was the very same staff the demon monk Sage had only difference was that it was silver.
"You're awake."
Kuwabara brought out his sword, ready for an attack. He turned seeing Sage watching him from a mirror he'd just opened. "Clever disguise for a door isn't it?" The monk asked, not surprised when Kuwabara said nothing back. "Put your sword away, it won't do you any good. This is my place, you can't do anything to me here, I'll know your move before you make it, and then I'll punish you for it."
Kuwabara growled, "Oh Yeah?" and with that snarl he charged head on at the monk.
"Dear me...they never listen," Sage sighed dramatically. Sage waved his hand, and Kuwabara instantly stopped in his tracks, electricity running through his body. The pain made him fall back wards, thrashing against invisible bonds. Sage waved his hand again, and the pain was over.
Sage chuckled as Kuwabara began coughing, and the demon shook his head with amusement, "Fool. What did I tell you?" Sage asked glaring down at Kuwabara. Kuwabara growled, but did not retaliate again. "There is a tattoo on your collarbone, it is a simple trick, it lets me control you when need be," Sage informed the man. He smiled at Kuwabara who gave him a weak glare, "Go fuck your-AGGG!!" The electricity was back but Sage stopped the volts after a moment. "Kuwabara we're wasting time so get on you feet…I have much for you to do!"
Kuwabara stood up, feeling just as dizzy when he tried walking when he first woke up. He went to the nearest mirror, and saw a strange tattoo just where the monk said it would be. It was a star with a diamond inside it, the whole tattooed jus done in black outline. Under it though one word could be read.
MINIERA
"What does that mean?" Kuwabara demanded glaring at Sage.
Sage smiled, "You will know in due time, now come with me." Sage looked back at Kuwabara when he didn't move, "Do you want me to move my hand again?" Sage warned holding up a withered hand. Kuwabara narrowed his eyes, and followed Sage obediently. When he stepped into the hall, he could not help but flinch at the bitter cold floor. He looked down. 'Figures,' Kuwabara thought, 'they'll give me this whore like outfit, but no shoes.'
Sage led Kuwabara on down a long hall, that seemed to lead nowhere. It was just a long strait hall. Kuwabara felt awkward in the hall. The walls were to close, and his arms brushed against the textured walls. He couldn't see how this hall would lead to anywhere it was so suffocating.
"We're here." Sage stopped and pushed against a part of the wall, a door that hadn't been there before appeared, and disappeared letting the two through. Sage went in, and Kuwabara followed. Sage pushed Kuwabara forward, and the teen stepped into the light. Looking up he found the ceiling was completely made of glass. The tattoo he had on his collarbone was the design for the glass ceiling. Light poured on him, and Kuwabara welcomed the warmth. He was so busy staring up at the strange design that even bore the word miniera, that he didn't notice two people dressed in ragged blue uniforms staring at him.
"Kazuma?"
Kuwabara went stiff at the sound of a soft feminine voice calling out to him. He slowly looked to see the two before him. One was a small woman, who seemed as if the wind could break her, though in actuality her strength could rival any man's. Her eyes were a brown, and hair orange, and long. She was the splitting image of Shizuru. She held the hand of a tall man, who was very tan with scarred hands, and dark hair. His eyes were pale blue, and stood out on this man's sunken face. He was even taller than Kuwabara, and seemed strange standing next to the smaller woman who didn't reach his chest. The man before Kuwabara shared his face, the only difference was the older man had a slight beard.
"Kazuma..." The woman whispered again, walking towards him, hands shaking.
Kuwabara felt something inside him break, and he was no longer Kazuma Kuwabara, he was their son.
"Mother..." Kuwabara whispered, and rushed forward laughing, and crying. He grabbed the small woman by her waist and lifted her up in a hug. The man rushed forward kissing his son's forehead. "This can't be my boy! Not my boy! My boy was ten, and was a scrawny thing!" The man laughed, he voice deep and rich. There were many tears, and many kisses, and when that was done, they were all on the ground, Kuwabara's father was holding his son asking him if he ever asked that nice Terri girl out on a date, or if he learned to roller skate, or if he was driving now. Kuwabara's mother was just as bad asking about him, his friends, his social life, and of course Shizuru.
None of them had even noticed Sage had left.

Everyone listened to Boeton as she relayed what she'd found out from Mukuro. Koenma left to make a more accurate map for Yusuke and Kurama, now all they had to do was wait.
"I didn't sleep at all last night." Yukina whispered, Eckiji in her arms. The large cat looked ill, and did no move even when Yukina pet her. Shizuru had gone through four packs of cigarettes before Genkai took them away, and now was finishing off a huge bottle of Rum, which she had managed to keep away from her concerned friends. Her hair was out of place, and bags were under her eyes. She was barely recognizable as Kuwabara's older sister. Kurama was tapping his foot, looking impatient and ready to move on to whatever step was next. Surprisingly Yusuke seemed to be the only calm one.
"I can't believe Hiei would abandon Kazuma..." Yukina whispered sadly.
"He didn't," Yusuke, said with a soft smile, "He wouldn't do that for real. He won't show up until we need him the most, and say he only came because he knew we'd screw it up." Kurama chuckled, "Yes that's our Hiei." Shizuru looked at Yusuke and asked, "Your goin' to get 'em back fo' me, right?" Yusuke looked at Shizuru his heart hurting to see the normally strong woman so upset, "Yes," he answered honestly. He would save Kuwabara, no matter what.
"Ya know…I knew 'bout Sage..." Shizuru said sipping off her rum.
All went quiet.
"Saw 'em when I was li'le. He took mom an' dad away...I jus' never said anythin' ya know." She leaned in closer, "I didn't wanna scare Kazu...he doesn't like monsters ya know..." Genkai sighed, and gently took her arm. "It's almost six now...Shizuru why don't you rest?" Koenma came in at that moment and handed Kurama the map, talking with him.
They were about to leave when the rum bottle in Shizuru's hand, dropped and smashed to the ground.
1234
It was much later, around five when Sage returned. "Kazuma? Come, you will see them later." Kuwabara felt his mother's grip tighten, and saw his father stiffen. "He brought me to you...I owe him this much...I'll be back, and we'll get out of here." Kuwabara whispered to them both reluctantly pulling away, and looked back as his parents as Sage led him into a different hall. They followed the hall all the way to the end, and when they did Sage opened a door.
Kuwabara found himself outside, and he stared around him. Everything was black. The soil, the trees, the very air, all black…black and dead...black and dead. People just like his parents were outside and laboring in burning everything to the ground, he could see them from a distance. If they weren't burning things down they were pulling out trees, or even digging graves where a body would be carelessly tossed into it, never to be bothered with again. Kuwabara vaguely wondered what they were doing, and though bitterly how his parents had probably been doing what these people did now.
But why?
Kuwabara followed Sage and glared down at the ground as people watched him walk bye. He could not look into their dead faces, their sunken eyes. A lot of them were human, some were demons, and most of them were either too old, or too young. If he looked at them his heart would break even more, Kuwabara just couldn't take this sadness…it was just so awful.
Sage led him to a cave, and then through it. Kuwabara paused at the mouth of the cave, it was dark inside and he was vaguely reminded of when Gourmet dragged him through a cave just as dark. Kuwabara wondered briefly if this cave would also have some underground water, and dark twisted demons that were bent on taking over the human realm.
"Kuwabara!" Sage's voice called from the darkness, "I know of your past…but you can't hesitate here Kuwabara…You came with me and want to know what I want you to do. So now I'm showing you! Don't you want to see?" Sage's voice died away and with a sigh Kuwabara entered the cave walking through the darkness.
When Kuwabara reached the other side, pain filled his body, and he dropped down to the ground. His whole body began shaking, and his vision was blurring. "I thought so. You are indeed like your parents...only the purest people, filled with the greatest amount of spirit awareness can feel what you are feeling," Sage's voice echoed, but Kuwabara could not focus on where the words came from. He was going to die. There was no way he could take this a second longer. It hurt! It hurt!
The pain stopped when Sage put his hand on him. Kuwabara collapsed on the ground, Sage's hand on his chest, his nails digging into his skin. "Look there Kazuma," Sage used his golden staff to point at a gate. Kuwabara rolled his eyes, the whites of his eyes now filled with red veins. His bleary vision came upon two black gates. They were rusted, and heavy chains, and heavy locks kept the gate shut. Humans, still alive and screaming were twisted together and sewn into the gates, to spell the word Purgatory.
"Oh God."
"There is no God in there Kazuma."
Sage smiled down at the human, "And you are the only one that can open that gate, you and your wonderful powers. Demons cannot open it. No it must be a pure hearted human, and being as no pure hearted human would do such a thing, it seemed like a good plan to make it only possible for a pure hearted human to have that ability, yes?" Sage laughed, "Wrong...wrong, wrong, wrong." He laughed, and taking Kuwabara by the hand dragged him away from the gates, where the screaming faces cried out for Kuwabara. Kuwabara closed his eyes, and when he opened them, found he was weeping to himself and unable to stop. He was dragged through the black ground, Sage ignoring the slaves he had captured over the years, staring at Kuwabara.
"I'm no the one…no…no…" Kuwabara sobbed unable to explain the fear and pain that coiled around his heart.
"But you are," Sage rebottled not looking down at the weakened man, "Your eyes! Your eyes give you away!!" Sage laughed loud and hard, Kuwabara's head swimming as he tried to make sense of those words.
A young girl no more than nine, who was staring at Kuwabara as she held a bundle of burned sticks to her body, caught Kuwabara's eye. She stared back at Kuwabara for a moment and then turned away screaming, "Mommy! Mommy! There is something wrong with his eyes! His eyes! Mommy!!" Kuwabara could not see it, but from that terrible sight, his eyes had been marked, a mark that Sage had been hoping would show, a mark Sage had been looking for in humans his whole life.
Kuwabara's pupils had taken the form of crosses.
Sage looked at his eyes, and sighed. "Just like I thought. God is protecting you. He protects all his children!" He sighed rolling his eyes. "I almost feel bad for you boy, your eyes have been forever branded, every demon you meet will know you have seen the gates of hell and that you can open them; if I fail here, they will carry out my plans for me." Kuwabara looked at him, honestly no longer caring that he was being dragged, "But...my parents-"
Sage laughed cutting Kuwabara off, "Yes they saw the gates of hell, or should I say the gates of Purgatory. The true gates of hell are past those you saw. Only you can break those gates your parents can't. Their eyes aren't branded like yours, if they were I could have used them, but no I needed you. Your parents could slice through the gates of Purgatory, but would die right after. You my dear boy, have so much power, you are so good hearted, you will be able to cut through the gates of purgatory and then the gates of hell! And with that you will open a new dark age on this pathetic realm!!" Sage laughed and before Kuwabara knew it, he was being made to stand before his parents who were being held between two guards.
"KAZU!" Kari Kuwabara shrieked seeing her son's eyes.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BOY!?" Kazuma cried staring at his son who looked at him, his strange eyes chilling the father's blood. Sage smiled, "Kazuma, I will send your parents in there, for all eternity if you don't do what I say." Kuwabara's eyes had gone wide. "Call forth your sword." The orange sword was out in an instant, Kuwabara's parents screaming at him not to do this. "And you will follow me, and slice through the chains on that gate, and then the chain's on the gates that lead to the true hell! Glory be to the power of chaos!!"
Kuwabara did not follow Sage when he started walking back.
Instead Kuwabara raised his sword, and with tears dripping down his cheeks, thrust his sword through his gut. The sword went all the way through blood splashing out behind Kuwabara like tattered wings. There were no final words from Kuwabara, and there had been no warning. He had just done what he knew he had to do. Kuwabara did have a final thought though, and that was of his best friends. In his mind, as his eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, he saw Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke talking. Yusuke was laughing at something and then he turned to look at Kuwabara. He smiled and gave Kuwabara a thumbs up. Briefly Kuwabara smiled to, before it faded away just as the images of his friend's did. There was a twisting in his gut and that had done it…
Kuwabara was…he was….
His mother's scream ripped through the air, his father's echoing it. The energy Kuwabara had coursing through out his body disappeared, and faded away. His eyes were not closed tight, but closed in relaxation. Everything about him was relaxed. He fell forwards bleeding all over the stone floor. Sage had frozen and watched the ordeal in a quiet awe. When Kuwabara was on the ground, Sage put his hand to the teen's neck, and sighed. "Dammit."
It was now around six.
1234
Shizuru had just dropped the rum bottle, and was screaming holding onto her stomach. Eckiji was letting out the strangest sound they ever heard, and it sounded as if she was screaming in agony. Genkai grabbed her heart, and then cried out to Shizuru, "What is it!? Shizuru what do you feel?! Did you feel…?"
Shizuru did not answer Genkai but just let her own horrible howl.
"KAZUMA! NO! NOT MY-NO! KAZUMA, KAZUMA, KAZUMA! NOT MY BROTHER, NOT MY LITTLE BROTHER! NOT MY BROTHER! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Shizuru shrieked. Boeton suddenly swayed on her feet, and Koenma had to steady her. Koenma was shaking, and whispered, "Boeton...it's not so...please say..." Kurama had dropped the map given to him and let his mouth open in a wide 'o' shape. Yusuke fell to his knees, "Shizuru...Shizuru...tell me what's going on…Shizuru?"
Out of her crazed brown eyes she whispered, "I can feel it. Something I love has been ripped out of my body...my soul..." She held out her hand, "THE BLUE STRING IS GONE! IT'S GONE!" She sobbed louder, and collapsing on her side, curled up in a ball, her tangled hair all around her she whispered, barely able to breathe, "Kazuma is dead."
1234
Hiei sat up in his bed, sweating, and eyes wide. He'd heard something inside his head, it was a loud scream from many voices turned into one. Hiei got up, and pulled on his shirt. He'd turned in early, and his dreams brought him no peace. He didn't dream at all until that one moment ago. That one flash that had woken him up. The darkness in his dream was turned white, and standing in a corner, wearing all white, hair in tangled curls, was Kuwabara. Hiei could not see Kuwabara's face but he had known it was Kuwabara. However though Hiei could not see his face he did see something that bothered him to no end. White wings wrapped in barbed wire, with bones sticking out of the fine feathers, had come from his back. The wings were bloody and ugly, looking painful with all the sharp wire on them. Then Kuwabara turned around, and Hiei saw finally saw Kuwabara's face…and he saw…them.
Pale blue eyes with black crosses in them, and tears of blood raining down his face.
Hiei rubbed his eyes, and sighed. "Damn you human..." Hiei sighed, pulled on his cloak, took up his sword, opened his window, and was gone.
1234
Kazuma, and Kari were led away crying out for their son. Kazuma stared at his dead boy, his dead child, the one who bore his name, and then he heard Sage sigh in a disappointed tone, "What a waste." Kazuma snarled, and cried, "I SWEAR! I SWEAR I WILL GET YOU! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" Sage watched as they were dragged away, eyes shining with no remorse. He glanced down at the blood all over the floor, and making splashing sounds as he walked across the floor, Sage ordered, "Clean this up."
End of chapter two.
miniera-mine
...well...hmm...all I can say is don't kill me just yet...it should get better...should.
Anyways, Hiei has decided to head for the place Mukuro spoke of, not knowing Kuwabara is already gone. Yusuke and Kurama head out, only setting out for one reason: REVENGE.
