Awesome! I got more reviews! Lets see…thanks you so much to Animeforyou, Renair, iggy-illmatig shorty, Evene, and shiorifoxiesmom. Everyone should check out their stories too. Thank you all so much. You have all made me so happy. I even had someone put "Orpheus and Eurydice" on there list of favorites. How come they don't review I don't know. But I'm still grateful. Love you all and hope you keep reading my stories!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Orpheus and Eurydice.
Orpheus lost his beloved wife. He went down to hell to save her. He made a pact with Hades; he was never to look upon Eurydice while they were on their journey back to earth. Orpheus broke the taboo and looked upon his wife. Eurydice returned to the darkness, which would be her home for the rest of eternity
'It's so dark. I-I can't move my body! I can't move at all! Someone help! There's no one around. No! No, I can't be stuck like this forever! Wait. I hear someone. Someone's calling my name. I have to reach them. I have-'
Yusuke finally woke up. He was knocked unconscious from entering Hades. He couldn't move his body at all. He still had trouble moving and talking.
"Good. You're awake. Took you long enough. I had to fight all those demons by myself." Hiei said.
Yusuke was trying to take everything in. "Huh? What? Demons? Oh yea. We're in hell aren't we? Where's Kuwabara?"
"I'm right here! Wow, this place is creepy." He said.
"What do you expect? Ok. Let's get going. We have to find that ferryman." Hiei said.
"Huh? Ferryman? What ferryman?" Yusuke asked.
"Are you still dizzy? Hurry up and get better. I told you not to slow me down. Don't you remember what Botan told us?" Hiei said.
Flashback:
"Now listen you three. This is very important. There are going to be lots of monsters down there so be careful. You have to find a ferryman and give him a penny to take you across the lake. But, don't touch the water or you'll lose all your memories." Botan explained.
"Really? That's scary. I wouldn't want to forget about my beloved Yukina." Kuwabara said.
"Please continue, Botan." Hiei said glaring at Kuwabara.
"Thank you." Botan said. "Now, after you cross the lake you need to find someone called Raenel. He's the one who judges souls and sends them to either Heaven or Hell. He should be the one holding Kurama's soul. Try not to run into Lucifer or his Guardian, Cerberus. Just try to get Kurama's soul back. And watch out for his sithe."
End Flashback:
"Ok. So we need to find this Raenel guy. Where is he?" Yusuke asked.
"I don't know. But I think we should follow Botan's advice and go to the lake. I have a penny to give the ferryman." Hiei said.
They started walking though they didn't really know where they were going. All they knew was that they had to find the lake. Everything they saw looked the same. It was blank. All there was was dirt and rocks. On occasion they had to fight a monster but other than that it was pretty empty. Hiei wondered how was ever going to find Kurama in this. After what seemed like eternity they finally found some water. They could only figure it was the lake Botan was talking about.
They walked to the lake and saw a boat with a robed person in it with a hood over his head. Hiei walked up to him. He stuck his hand out.
"AHHHHHHH! He's just bone!" Yusuke yelled.
"Of course he is. He's dead." Hiei said. He took a penny out of his pocket and handed it to the man. He took it and let Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara in the boat.
"Remember not to touch the water. You'll lose all your memories." Hiei said.
They wanted to cross the river with no problems, but that didn't happen. A group of monsters attacked the boat. It was next to impossible to fight them on the boat without falling in the water. Hiei took care of most of them, but one monster shook the boat and knocked Kuwabara off. Yusuke tried to grab him, but before he could a person with giant black wings got him. He flew off with Kuwabara.
"Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled.
They finally made it to the shore and saw the person who took Kuwabara. He had white hair and big black wings. His eyes were yellow. When he saw Hiei and Yusuke walk up he smirked at them.
"You should be more careful. Your friend here was about to lose himself entirely." He said.
"Are you…Raenel?" Hiei asked.
"Yes, I am. I've been expecting you. You must be Hiei since you're the only demon here."
"Who do you know who I am?" Hiei asked.
"Why, Kurama told me." Raenel told them.
"What? You have Kurama?" Yusuke said.
"Give him back. Please." Hiei said.
"It won't be that simple. Follow me."
Hiei, Kuwabara, and Yusuke followed Raenel. They were finally going to be able to see Kurama.
So there we are. OK. I didn't mean to make Yusuke and Kuwabara sound so weak. Ah well. Read the next chapter! I have some great ideas for what's going to happen to Kurama. Enjoy the next chapter and thanks again for the reviews.
