I went to some effort to post this, I hope you all enjoy this.
Chapter Fourteen: Brother
The gathered townspeople looked on as the two demons- one blue and the other red- took center stage amongst their colleagues.
"Behold, the fallen son is returned to you at last." Ansul spoke. "Not, of his own free will, but because we have delivered him into your hands."
Densil now took up the reigns of speaking. "Give us the two rebels and we shall release him." He explained
Hiei casually stepped forward and gripped the handle of his sword. "And what is stopping up from just taking him back from you and finishing what you two bunglers started?"
Ansul smiled. "I'm glad you asked that," He began. "Regardless of your previous victory we now possess the upper hand in every way."
"What are you talking about?" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"Do you recognize this?" Ansul asked as he held up a glass orb that seemed to have a strange spherical flame in it.
"A soul orb, you monster!" Kuwabara exclaimed. "How dare you steal his soul!" He exclaimed.
Densil looked down at him. "We'll put it back, if you both agree to surrender yourselves."
Kuwabara flinched, but became silent.
The blue demon continued to bask in his supposed moment of glory and was too busy chiding his foes to notice that the soul orb was beginning to flare up.
From a good ways off, Thorn watched the scene unfold, but his attention suddenly turned to a single figure- a ghostly young man. He was starting to give off energy like heat waves. "What is he?" He wondered.
"Don't take too long to make your decision." Densil instructed everyone. "Either way, we win."
Thorn looked elsewhere, he then noticed something a little odd. Almost as if the corpse tied to the "cross" had actually just moved slightly. He frowned as he debated the validity of this observation.
"You can either give up your so-called heroes now and get this piece of trash back," He paused. "Or," He began. "We'll come back again with a massive army and the other Generals and reduce this entire town and every last one of you to ashes." He informed them.
At last, the demon brothers now felt that they had successfully gotten their point across. From their vantage point, I seemed clear that the humans were now much more doubtful as to their chances.
"Sir!" Called one of the lesser demons.
"What?" Ansul snapped.
"The human, sir, he's..."
"Brother!" Densil shouted. "Look!"
Ansul turned to look at the prostrate Garland. He leaned in close and looked at him closely, he then pulled back and turned pale.
"Rain..."
Ansul stepped back. "Damn you!" He screamed. "You're nothing!" He yelled as he pointed at Garland. "You're just a useless shell!" He screamed as sweat formed at the side of his head and ran down along his face.
"Rain..." Came the word again, only slightly stronger.
Densil drug his hand down his face in shock and his armor rustled as he stepped back.
The wise Emperor Claudius of Rome had once said that soldier were a very superstitious people who's moods were vulnerable to the things that they perceived as signs from a higher power. This was still quiet true, and even with Demon Soldiers.
"The dead man speaks!"
"It's an omen!"
"The Gods have turned on us!"
"Shut up, all of you!" Ansul fumed. "This is no miracle or act of god, this is only deception!" He screamed.
Hiei watched as the men continued to loose confidence.
"Brother, surely this is a sign." Densil pleaded.
"It's a sign all right!" Kuwabara shouted. "A sign that means your luck just ran out!"
"Garland?"
Densil turned around and spotted a small figure approaching them. The boy was crying. Ansul looked on, just as the soul orb broke free from its case and flew out of his grasp and back into Garland.
"Enough!" Ansul screamed as smoke rose up from his hand. "I've had enough of all of this, you're all going to die, starting with this fool!" He exclaimed as he formed a sharp spike out of iced and turned towards Garland. "We should have killed you a long time ago!"
"Leave my brother alone!" Rain screamed.
Ansul looked back over his shoulder as Densil took a step towards the boy.
All eyes, human and demon (and Jaganshi), were on Rain as he appeared to be glowing with raw power. There was a new, formidable strength in his eyes that had not been there in a long time.
"What's happening?" Kuwabara asked.
"His power... it has come back!" Bohen exclaimed.
"You humans won't stop us this time!" Ansul exclaimed as he prepared to strike down Garland.
"Leave my brother ALONE!" Rain scream as his aura expanded and he thrust out a glowing hand at his enemy.
Ansul's left arm began to glow white and then exploded in a massive crimson burst. "AHHHHH!!!" He cried out as he fell onto his back.
"Damn you!" Densil exclaimed and reached for the hand of his sword and leapt up into the air to strike down Rain.
A black flash intersected with him and he fell short of his goal, handing face down in the dirt. A pool of his own dark blood was quickly spreading out under him. Hiei placed his sword back into its sheath.
Ansul grasped his bleeding stump as he looked at his dead brother. His head fell back and he could only see directly above him.
Kuwabara knocked out the tank's driver and then cut down Garland and threw him over his shoulder and jumped back onto the ground.
All the other tanks were now making a quick retreat.
Hiei began to try and get to Ansul to finish him off once and for all, but Thorn and floating cloaked figure appeared in front of him. Thorn grasped Ansul by the collar and shot a beam at Densil's body. The cloaked, figure launched a ball of black energy at Hiei and blew him back.
"Not today." Thorn spoke, as he and his cohorts vanished, along with the body of Densil.
"So much for a trophy." Hiei thought as he got onto his feat.
Kuwabara set garland down and then noticed something strange about him. At almost 18, Kuwabara was a little over six feet tall. Garland looked to be almost eye-level with him. He was also built and had a tan and spiky brown hair.
Rain ran up and threw his arms around his brother. "Promise me you'll wake up soon, okay?" He pleaded as he kissed his brother on the forehead.
By now, Hiei and Bohen- along with Lin and Shera- had walked up. Kuwabara noticed that Hiei seemed to have grim sort of satisfaction visible on his face. He could also see that wired kid who looked like Yuusuke, he seemed almost nervous, even still scared.
Kuwabara stood up and looked at Bohen. "Hey, you said that they were twins, what's up?" he asked.
Bohen cleared his throat. "I never said they were identical twins." He replied.
Kuwabara almost fell over, while a large bead of sweat formed on Hiei's forehead.
End of Chapter Fourteen
I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter, I certainly enjoyed writing it. Anyway, I'm going to keep this brief and just send out thanks to everyone who has supported me, especially Draith, KuwabaraLover, Kazima Kuwabara and anyone else who's name I'm afraid of misspelling.
Lots of Love,
