Chapter 20: Goodbyes and Hellos part 2

'I can't keep this up much longer!' Renoki thought as he shot more ice at the three detectives. He glanced at his partner. 'Master Kuraku's energy is still dangerously low...I must defeat them quickly.' "Taki-bi!"

"Damn, more fire!" Yusuke ducked the flames and charged a shot of his spirit gun. "Take this!"

"Ah!" The blast hit him straight on and he fell to the ground. He barely managed to get back up when another shot was fired, grazing his arm. "I-I c-can't hold out m-much longer…"

"Yea! We got'em now gang!" Yusuke said, giving a victory grin. The silver haired demon pushed himself up and held his arm as he fought to remain standing. "What the—? Kurama, the artifact's glowing!"

"What!" The fox turned to see the detective staring at the glowing artwork within his hands. He heard a gasp and glanced over to see a very frightened Renoki before turning his attention back to Yusuke.

"What's going on!" Kuwabara yelled as a sharp wind enveloped the area. Renoki stepped back before running to Kuraku's side.

The wind howled and sent shivers up everyone's spine before a cloud of blue light appeared before them all. The wind stopped and the light faded to reveal a very familiar person in it's place…

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"What? What are you saying, Satoshi?" The redhead asked as he looked at his friend. Satoshi shook his head.

"We have no other way," He began and Krad glanced towards him. "I must ask for the assistance of another Hikari artwork."

"But, Master Sato—" Krad was stopped when he saw Dark's body vanish. "Wha-what happened?" Daisuke drew in a gasp and caught everyone's attention.

"Daisuke! What's wrong!" Satoshi was beside him in an instant. He glanced at the angel. "Tell me what is going on!"

"I don't know anymore than you, Master Satoshi." The blonde snapped back.

"I-I f-feel hot…ah!" the boy fell to his knees as his hair grew longer and turned into a dark shade of violet. He caught his breathing and looked around with deep amethyst eyes.

/Dark! How are you here? /

/Daisuke, I am a part of you, remember? I guess that means that if I separate then it must only be for a short amount of time...though I thought the spell—/

/What spell/

/The spell Kuraku used to separate us. I thought that it gave me a true body but it must have been only temporary. I thank you, Dai-chan; it's because of you that I'm here now. /

/Dark.../ Daisuke smiled at his counterpart. /I'm glad you're back. /

/Same here partner./

"Dark…?" the teen looked up at glazed golden eyes. Satoshi took a step back as the angel approached.

"Krad…" A hand connected with his cheek and he was wide-eyed as he saw that the person who hit him was Krad. Before Dark could do anything, two arms wrapped around him protectively and he relaxed into the embrace.

"You…you made me feel afraid. I was afraid that I would never see you again…I-I never want you to leave me." Dark's eyes closed as he rested his head against the angel's shoulder.

"Krad, I-I don't deserve you…" the blonde pulled away but didn't remove his hands. He looked his other half straight in the eyes before Dark looked at the ground. "I'm tainted…you deserve better…"

"Dark," Krad gently turned the thief's head to face him. His eyes were so hurt and sad, not at all like the adventurous ones the hunter had looked at for years. "Do you think that I would be here, right now, if I cared for what you just said? You are the purest being that I have even found, you are my angel…Dark, and I love you. Nothing will ever change that."

"B-bu—" Krad silenced him with a chaste kiss.

"No buts, you are the one that I love and nothing else will ever change that. Do you understand?" Golden eyes met with teary violet as Dark nodded and wrapped his arms around the angel's neck. He rested his head on Krad's chest.

"Yes, I understand…Krad." He gave a soft sigh as he relaxed into his angel's arms. 'Everything will be okay now...I have Krad now...' "I love you…"

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"What the hell!" Yusuke yelled as the person revealed himself to be Seri. The demon ignored the three and glared at Renoki. "I-I-I thought I killed you!"

"You…" he said it so cold that everyone shivered. He took a step towards the two and Renoki guarded his partner. "I…will kill him. Stand down, Renoki."

"No! I will not allow this!" The green eyed demon watched his former comrade as he stepped closer. "I knew that you couldn't be trusted, you're a traitor!"

"No, I just want power whereas Kuraku wanted to be free of his entrapment. He is nothing and cares about no one but himself." The blue haired demon formed a staff of ice.

"Now I have the power of the shadows…in exchange for his death."

"Should we interfere?" Kuwabara asked as he and the other two watched the scene before them.

"Let's let them fight then go in after they use up their energy." Yusuke answered and Kurama nodded in agreement. Seri was a few yards away from them and continued to walk closer until he heard a voice.

"Seri…you traitor…" the demon smirked as he saw Kuraku's eyes barely open. "A-after everything……you go and do this…"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid that it was my plan from the start. Making you go through all that trouble..." Seri gave a wicked smile as he ran at them. He knocked the green eyed being away and roughly grabbed his master's throat. "Goodbye, Master Kuraku!"

"Noooooooo!" Renoki gathered everything he had for one final assault. 'Master Kuraku...this is my way of saying thanks...' "Izumi-no aisu!" (Fountain of ice)

"Ah!" Kuraku gasped as Seri was thrown to the side by Renoki's attack. A loud crash was heard and the green eyed demon sank to the ground. The red-violet eyed demon clutched his neck and coughed before glancing to the side. 'Renoki, naze?' (why?)

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"WHAAAAT!" Koenma yelled as Botan told him of what happened. "THEN WHERE IS DARK'S SOUL!"

"W-well, you see, he—"

"Because he has Daisuke, he can return to him." Hiei stated in an annoyed tone. "When Dark was separated from Daisuke, he had a temporary body which was used as a ritual tool. But before his body died, it unknowingly took some of the life energy from Daisuke and used it to slowly transfer his soul back into the boy."

Both Botan and Koenma were wide-eyed at the fire apparition's explanation and blinked a few times before they understood. "And just how do you know all this, Hiei?" The teenage Spirit World ruler asked, fixing his shirt.

"Hn." Was Hiei's answer. The brunette twitched and Hiei let out a smirk. "If you must know, I was guessing."

"WHAT!" Koenma almost fell off his chair at the answer. "HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GUESS THAT!"

"Hn." He shrugged and looked at the ceiling.

"Hiei, please try and cooperate. We can get you living again, if you help." Botan said happily. "And all this because you're a member of the Spirit Detectives!"

"Hn."

"Is that all you're going to say?" Koenma asked with a twitch. He sighed when Hiei gave another 'hn'. "Well, if what Hiei said is true…then Dark is with Daisuke now."

"Yes, I suppose that would make sense." The ferry girl held her chin as if in a deep thought. "But, what about the others? Hiei, do you want to go back?"

Hiei thought for a moment. 'What do I have to go back for? Yukina doesn't know I'm her brother, Kurama has a family, Yusuke has Keiko, and Kuwabara is...Kuwabara. What do I have to live for?'

"I'm fine, though I owe you one, Hiei." Dark's eyes met calm crimson ones as the fire apparition gave a nod.

He opened his eyes after wrapping his wings around himself for protection. When he saw who it was, he gave a tear-filled smile. "H-hiei…"

"No…I feel fine…I just want on last chance to see my angel."

'Dark...he needed me...but who needs me now?' Hiei closed his eyes and sighed.

"Hiei-chan!"

'Yukina...would you need me, even if you didn't know?' He gave a soft smile. 'She is my reason...thank you, Dark. You showed me that I do care.'

"Well Hiei? What do you think?"

"I'll go back." He stated. 'For Yukina.'

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"We should help the others." Krad stated, helping Dark up. He turned to Satoshi. "If Dark and Daisuke's separation was only temporary, that means that ours might be as well."

The detective nodded and waited for their next move. Dark was worn out, that was easily seen. He wouldn't do much in a fight. "Dark, let Daisuke take over so that you can heal. It's easier for you."

"Huh? Oh, alright." The thief closed his eyes and turned into the redhead. Daisuke blinked before he gave a nod, meaning he was alright.

"What of the artwork?" Krad asked. "What was it?"

"I was planning on using an artwork that is much like you, another living artwork…Argentine." Krad paled at the name before he glared at his tamer. "Like I said, I was planning on using him. I don't think we need him anymore."

"Good riddance." Krad scoffed, flapping his wings. "Let's get going." He cast a glance at With.

"Kyuu…" Daisuke picked him up and held on as the angel grabbed them both as well as Satoshi and took to the air.

"Look!" Daisuke yelled out. "It's Yusuke!"

The detective looked up as he heard his name. Krad descended beside them just as a huge amount of energy came from the spot Seri was last seen. "Renoki!" The demon stood up growling and glaring at him. Renoki was too tired to move. "I will kill you slow and painfully…"

Kuraku tried to get up and Seri was beside him in an instant. "Well, well, well…how the mighty have fallen…" He turned to where the others were standing. "Do you have any objections? No? Good."

"Seri…" The demons attention turned back to his fallen master. Seri smirked as jerked the demon's head up to meet his eyes. "Ah…"

"Heheheheheh…I shall enjoy this…" Seri summoned a powerful amount of energy and pressed his hand against the demon's chest. "Are you afraid? You should be…your heart is beating faster, that must mean you're very afraid."

"Ma-Master Kuraku!"

Satoshi got between them and spread his arms. "Hm?"

"I will not allow you to harm him!" The blunette stated in an angry tone that startled the redhead.

"So you will die for him?" Renoki narrowed his eyes at them.

"I would be more than willing to die for the only person who has shown kindness to me!"

"Renoki, no…" The redheaded demon managed before he was thrown into the air. Seri jumped up after him and used his stored energy to shot straight threw him.

"NOOO!" Renoki cried as he forced himself to catch the red-violet eyed being. "Master Kuraku! Please, don't go! I'll take your place…just…don't die…"

"Heh, you're next." Seri landed a few feet away and watched Kuraku struggle to breath. Renoki held him close and didn't look as he felt the energy gathering behind him. "Die."

"I-I'm sorry, Renoki…it was a mistake…" Kuraku closed his eyes and leaned into his friend's embrace. Seri fired his attack…and it never hit…

Leon: Koway gets to finish it. Chapter 22 is the last one and if people like it enough, then maybe they'll be a sequel. Thank you to all of you who have stuck with it and reviewed! It really, really helps! Bye, and leave a review with what you think should happen to Renoki, Kuraku, Seri, and the others! Bye!
