OK. Well, Orpheus and Eurydice is officially dedicated to Fobiddensoul562. Thanks for your support. Yes! That last chapter was a tease! MWAHAHAHAHA! But, anyway…here's the next chapter. And it's actually a chapter. Oh, yea I was wondering. Did anybody notice that I based Raenel off of Raenef from Demon Diary? You should read that manga. It's really good.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH 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.
Raenel had sat down at a long table with food and drinks on it. Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara had sat down on the opposite end of the table. Hiei was getting impatient and wanted to find Kurama fast. He couldn't stand being away from him for so long. Kuwabara was thinking about his beloved Yukina. He had a date with her on Saturday and he wasn't about to miss it. He was going to find his friend then get out of there as fast as he could. Yusuke was thinking about Keiko. He didn't want her to worry. He knew she was though. All she ever did was worry about him. He felt really bad, but he had to help Hiei find Kurama. Plus Kurama was his friend as well as his other friends' boyfriend. He smiled when he though of Keiko yelling at him when he got back.
"What are you possibly smiling about at a time like this? It must be really important. Or maybe you just have a short attention span." Raenel said to Yusuke.
"Well, your taking so long with telling us how to find Kurama how can I not get bored you bastard!" Yusuke yelled.
"You would be smart not to insult me you ingrate. Remember when you die it is I who decides whether you go to Heaven or Hell." Raenel said standing up.
"Oh yea! Well, I've already died once and I'm not scared to do it again! I turned into a ghost I didn't come down here! I'm not scared of you one bit!" Yusuke yelled.
Suddenly Yusuke fell to the ground. Hiei had hit him with the side of his sword.
"Will you shut up? We're not here so argue with the angel of judgment. Now stop arguing with him and listen to what he has to say." Hiei ordered.
Kuwabara helped Yusuke up. He pulled out a seat from the table and sat Yusuke down in it.
"So, how can we save Kurama now? You said that he lost all hope. Does that mean he doesn't think we'll come save him?" Kuwabara asked.
"No. It means he doesn't think that Hiei will come save him. He was waiting for Hiei, not you two." Raenel said.
"But, he should have known we would come get him. Sure, he's a little closer to Hiei than us two, but we still care about him." Yusuke said trying to recover from the hit to his head.
"That's exactly it. He was closer to Hiei. He loved him, not you. He was waiting for him to come get him, not you. If I do recall it was Hiei's name that was carved into his chest, not yours." Raenel said smugly.
"I was just saying that we care about him to! You didn't have to-"
Yusuke was cut off from another hit to his head. Hiei sheathed his sword again and spoke.
"Please tell me how I can find him."
"His soul probably went to a certain place that lost souls go. They can't be reincarnated, they can't go to heaven and they can't go to hell. They just stay there. The only souls that go there are, of course as I stated before, lost souls. " Hiei listened intently to what Raenel had to say.
"Kurama's soul is lost because he wanted Hiei to come save him but he lost all the hope in his heart that he would. Now, there are two possibilities that could have happened to Kurama."
"He could either number one." Raenel put up one finger to indicate the first option.
"Be so sad that Hiei left him and he wanted his soul to be lost so now he's still waiting for Hiei, just in a different place and more miserable than he was before. Or number two" Another finger went up.
" He could be angry that Hiei left him and if he ever sees him again he'll want revenge." Raenel explained.
"Kurama isn't that kind of person! He would never want to hurt Hiei. He always loved him!" Kuwabara said.
"You don't get it, do you? Hell does things to people. Demon, human, or half-breed hell takes a toll on even the coldest of people. There is a possibility that Kurama is just waiting miserably for Hiei, but it's more likely that he wants revenge."
"I can't blame him. But, I don't care if he hates me. I will still try to save him." Hiei said and Raenel could easily tell that Hiei was determined about this.
"I can take to the place with the lost souls, but once we get there I can't help you back out and you'll have to face Kurama." Raenel said.
"Bring it on, hotshot!" Yusuke yelled.
"We'll save Kurama. He's counting on us! Well, he's counting on Hiei, but won't he be surprised to see us here!" Kuwabara said.
"Finally, I can save him." Hiei said in a whisper more to himself.
Raenel leaded them out into the dark, unwelcoming underworld. They didn't know what kind of Kurama would await them, but all they knew was that they wanted to save him. And they would no matter what the cost.
And that's the end. Keep reading for more chapters!
