Dark Con of Enma : In Confession
A/N : Oh! They held hands! I know, I know! I'm working on the romance part. Sheesh. Lol jk. R&R as always, especially greedfangirl. Ha! Have fun! Thank you loyal reviewers!
"Hi you guys!"
Hiei felt his eyes widen. What? They were back? He saw that the detective, fox, brat and servant were all watching. He was on the onna's bed. This did not look good. At all. Yusuke was staring stupidly at Botan. She didn't seemed fazed at all. George fainted, his large body shaking the entire room.
"Oh dear." Botan giggled after she said it.
Botan couldn't help but be a bit lightheaded at the moment. She had seen her mother, whom she hadn't glimpsed for hundreds of years. She grinned as she sat down on the couch. Hiei sat on the window sill near Botan as everyone else got comfortable. Except for George who was currently being dragged onto the carpet.
"What just happened, Botan?"
Botan blinked and smiled airily at Koenma.
"I just got to see my mother again. She left a me a spiritual message just before she was ferried off to Rekai."
Botan blinked away tears of joy, shock, and wonder. Koenma frowned.
"What did you mother say to you?"
Botan bit her lower lip. She should tell Koenma, after all it had to do with him. Botan lowered her gaze, suddenly feeling like she had done something wrong. Silly, but that was what she felt.
"She said that the truth about Enma would present itself when I'm ready. Or when I need it."
Kurama's eyes were dissecting the situation piece by piece. Yusuke brought a fist up to his mouth, biting a knuckle. Koenma felt sorrow uncoil in his stomach. Did his father really lie? He couldn't imagine it could possibly be true. No way. That was when Kurama interrupted his thoughts.
"I think we should go talk to the demon Bishop again."
Botan felt a stab momentary fear she had from her last encounter wash over her, but she soon nodded and stood. Everyone walked toward the basement. Yusuke walked beside Botan and gave her a cocky grin.
"You look good with your hair down."
Botan blushed and thanked him softly. She was not used to such compliments. As they made their way downstairs, they saw that the demon Bishop was seated, eyes closed. Botan drifted so that she was in back of the group. Hiei gave her a questioning look and Botan smiled sadly, looking away.
"Bishop! Wake up!"
Yusuke yelled, so typical of him, Botan thought to herself. She watched the Bishop open his eyes, gazing at the ceiling. He looked at his audience and his eyes widened sufficiently when he saw the Prince of Hell standing with them (he was in his teenage form now). Botan let a smirk sneak onto her face that would have made Hiei proud. Now lets see if this demon Bishop is so brave, Botan thought.
"Koenma, I'd have never thought that you would show up." He scowled. "How can you live with yourself after all you have done? With the lies you have spread?"
Koenma frowned, eyes narrowing. He remained untouched my the insults that left the demon's worn mouth. Botan smiled warmly at her boss. Noble and strong like the true Prince he was.
"I'm sorry to say that I am unaware of what you are speaking of."
The demon Bishop snarled and leaped out. Koenma didn't even flinch. The demon let out a bellow of pain and rage as the seals ripped at his soul. His robes started smoking, the white turning black with ash in some places. Botan wrinkled her nose in disgust. She hoped this demon would pay for his actions in Hell.
"You know very well what you did, pig!" The demon spat out the words, saliva running down his chin. "You and your father! You're, you're fakes!"
Botan flinched at such harsh words. That was not true! Enma and Koenma were great rulers. Hiei sneered as he put his hand behind his head.
"This demon's pathetic. He literally has no spirit energy."
Koenma's eyes widened slightly. It was true, but that was impossible. Every being in the universe had spirit energy, even if it was very weak or faint. Koenma approached the demon Bishop, staying just outside the seals.
"What are you?"
Out of nowhere the Arch Bishop reached through the seals and talismans and grabbed Koenma's throat. Koenma let out a startled cry that soon turned into a pitiful sputtering. The Bishop grinned maliciously as he hissed from the pain.
"Your worst nightmare."
Then, in a flash of screams and flames, the demon Bishop was gone. Koenma blinked and then rubbed his sore neck. Botan rushed to his side.
"Koenma-sir! Are you alright?"
Koenma nodded as he smiled warmly at one of his top ferry girls. Botan's brow was furrowed in worry, but she backed away. Yusuke was the first to express his curiosity about the demon with his eloquent way of voicing his thoughts.
"What the hell just happened?"
Botan looked at the chair. The seals and talismans had fallen to the floor and the ground, unneeded. The place where the Arch Bishop last stood was smoldering. Hiei sniffed the air, and his face instantly hardened, his eyes turning steely.
"Those fires were the flames of Hell."
Koenma felt his insides turn to cold stone.
"It was my Dad."
The demon Arch Bishop stood in front of the great Lord Enma. His body was two stories wide and he stood a good six stories tall. The Arch Bishop sneered despite of the hulking God in front of him.
"You're going to be found out, Enma." Enma let a low growl that shook the floor. The Arch Bishop was not amused or intimidated. "A decedent of the guardians is alive. Well, not really but she still exists."
This caused the great Lord Enma's eyes to widen. The demon chuckled. "You understand that, don't you?"
Enma let out a howl that shook the heavens and rocked Hell. All he had to do was glare at the Bishop to set him on fire for all eternity.
"KOENMA!"
