Chapter 4: An Uninvited Guest
'This… is…crazy!' Kuwabara was sitting beside a tree as he watched Krad talk to Yusuke. His smirk never leaving his face. 'Why the heck does it hafta be with some killer angel freak!'
"Be careful with what you think, Kuwabara." Krad said, his eyes never leaving the young detective's plans that had been drawn in the ground. Kuwabara froze and looked away.
'I didn't think he could read minds! I am so screwed...' Yusuke looked up and saw the golden eyes staring at him. "So, how do we get in?" He managed to ask.
Krad said nothing. He walked over and picked up the discarded artifact from the bushes. Yusuke watched as the golden hair vanished and was replaced with short blue. The wings disappeared as well and where Krad once stood was a boy with icy blue eyes no older than fifteen…
"Whoa…what happened to Krad?" Yusuke asked for his speechless comrade. The boy said nothing; instead, he drew a symbol around the artifact and took out a paintbrush.
"Umm, okay, I'm lost. Urameshi, what happened to the creepy angel dude?" Kuwabara slowly recovered his voice and walked towards the boy, who kept painting symbols in the ground.
"Oi! Kid! Say something wills ya!"
"I am Satoshi, Krad's tamer. Krad is conserving his energy for the trip, as should you. Now," Satoshi stood up and pointed to Kurama, Hiei, and Dark. "Bring them over here and place them around the artwork."
"Okaaaay, why?" Kuwabara got his answer in the form of a cold glare. 'Why does everyone glare at meWhat did I ever do ta him?'
"Okay, wait did you say that you were Krad's tamer? What's that?" Yusuke asked as he placed Hiei down where Satoshi ordered. Kuwabara got Kurama. Satoshi sighed and Yusuke got Dark.
"Krad was created by the Hikari; he doesn't have a real body and uses mine. For over hundreds of years, he has been in my family and wishes for two things." Satoshi finished his symbols and a pale red light emitted from them.
"What is it that he wants?" Yusuke asked now quite curious of the cold ice demon angel. "Maybe if he got them, he wouldn't be so cold."
"I'm not allowed to say. Step into the light." Yusuke and Kuwabara hesitated and Satoshi shook his head. "It's safe."
The two took a step and disappeared. Satoshi fell to the ground as white wings burst from his back and he turned into Krad. Krad took out a feather and placed it in Dark's hands. He then stepped into the light and vanished.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuwabara screamed as he fell through the air. "Where is that stupid angel! We'll fallin' to our death!"
"I—" Yusuke was about to answer when Krad flew past them. He grabbed Yusuke's wrist and Kuwabara's leg.
They cleared the portal and Krad released the two. Yusuke on his feet and Kuwabara landed on his head. Krad floated to the ground and smirked at the foolish carrot-top that was rubbing his head. Yusuke was snickering at him as well.
"You did that on purpose you jerk!" The human yelled, pointing at Krad. Yusuke just laughed as the angel ignored him and walked along the road.
"We cannot waste the time babbling. This is Humaki, the land within the Hikari artwork, 'Crown of the Kings'." Krad said. Yusuke went beside him. "The souls are sent here and taken to a forbidden palace by an escort."
"How do you know all this?" Yusuke asked as Kuwabara looked at everything. Krad sighed and Yusuke remembered what Satoshi had said and wished he didn't ask. Krad noticed and shook his head.
"I am a Hikari; I know every artwork they ever created. Don't mind asking me a few important questions."
"Okay then! What the heck are you? Why are we here? Where is our escort? How come we aren't spirits or souls? Why do you have such a bad attitude? Why do he call—" Kuwabara was silenced by Yusuke's hand over his mouth.
Krad twitched with anger. "I said important questions! Not idiotic ones you imbecile!" Kuwabara went white and Yusuke sweat dropped. 'This is going to be one difficult mission...'
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ow…my head…what?" Dark purple eyes surveyed the area. Two figures were with him. 'Where am I? It's so dark in here...lucky that my eyes can see in it.' Dark looked at his 'cellmates'.
Cautiously, he tapped one awake. The figure groaned and sat up. "Where?" He asked.
"Hi," Dark said offering a hand, "I'm Dark Mousy. You?"
"Kurama." Kurama said taking the gesture and standing up. "Where are we?"
"In that damn artifact." The two turned to Hiei, who was leaning against the stone wall.
"The artifact did this?" Kurama blinked as he tried to understand what his friend had told him. 'How can it—'
"The Crown of the Kings has the power to take souls…" Dark said, mostly to himself. "It holds four corrupt souls that were imprisoned by the Hikari because they murdered countless innocents in the name of their king."
Hiei let his jagan look around. 'No way to escape...' Kurama tapped the walls and was about to check the ceiling when Dark grabbed his arm and pointed to a black-robed figure that had appeared in the corner. Hiei went beside the others and watched.
"Greetings Dark Mousy, Kurama Minamino, and Hiei Jaganshi. We have been expecting your arrival for some time now. Please follow me." The tone was soft and Dark guessed it was a female by her stance.
"Why should we?" Hiei asked, noticing that his katana was gone and glaring at the person.
"Oh, how rude of me," The figure removed their hood to reveal long silver hair. It was a girl who had blue eyes and she did a small bow. "I am Luki. You have fallen into this world by mistake. If you come with me I will return your souls to your bodies in the real world."
"Alright then!" Dark said and Luki turned to leave. Dark turned to his companions. "If we follow her then we can see where we are."
"But it could be a trap..." Kurama said.
"If it is then we can outnumber her. Let's go already!" Hiei was not in a happy mood and walked out of the room. Kurama and Dark followed soon after.
/Daisuke? Are you there/ Dark tried to talk to his other self as they were led into a large castle. No answer. /Daisuke? Daisuke/ Still nothing…Dark let out a sigh and let it go. 'Maybe he stayed on the other side. I hope so...'
"Dark?"
"Huh?" Dark looked at Kurama. "What?"
"You okay? You seem out of it. Is there something wrong?" He asked the black-winged angel.
"No, just thinking about something. No need to worry." Dark lied and Kurama knew it. He let it go and they continued to follow Luki to a room with a large feast on it.
"Food!" Dark said happily. He smiled a charming smile to Luki. "Is this all for us?"
"Yes. The process to get you three home will be tiresome so my lord has asked that you be properly taken care of so that you are ready." She turned to leave and Hiei watched as Dark and Kurama took a seat.
Hiei walked over to Kurama. "I don't trust her. Or this place for that matter."
"Nor do I but we're here so we have to see what happens." Kurama examined the food. "It's not poisoned and nothing appears to be amiss so I believe it is alright to eat."
Hiei scanned it with his jagan before answering. "Perhaps."
"Hey. That's odd." Dark spoke up.
"What is?" Kurama asked in a concerned tone.
"My wings. I never use my real wings because I have a rabbit named With that turns into them." Dark paused and flapped a few times. "But these are my real wings and I can't retract them."
"Is that a problem?" Hiei asked in a who-cares tone while rolling his eyes.
"It's just strange…" Dark whispered. He thought of how Krad couldn't hide his wings and smiled.
"I'm sure that it's fine now let's eat so we can leave soon. Luki said that it would be hard getting back." Kurama said and Dark nodded.
'She said we were spirits...so how can we be seen? Who cares I just want to get back to my body. Or wake up, if this is a dream...' Hiei thought to himself.
Unnoticed by the three, two figures watched them from the altar room and grinned. "We shall be free at last." The leader said and they laughed at their unsuspecting victims.
