Authors Note: Thanks for the review. Honestly without one review I wouldn't have continued this. I took the advice and I hope this is more readable.
Chapter 2: The Cost of Disobedience
"No.", Dante replied very calmly. Dante stared at Tobi with fierce eyes.
Without a word, Tobi sank into the floor, dropping Luffy. He reappeared on the other side of the bars. He approached Nero, who was chained to the wall barely conscious. A kunai knife dropped from Tobi's sleeve and in one fluid motion, he stabbed Nero.
"The next one will kill him." Tobi stated bluntly as he turned to look at Dante.
Dante made no effort to move, but simply said no again. With this Tobi began to make his way over to Rukia.
"Very well, if you don't care for him, let's see if your willing to let three innocent women die for your stubbornness." Tobi stopped in front of Rukia, and raised the kunai to her throat.
"WAIT!" Ichigo pleaded, "I'll go. I will take us there."
"Oh no, Ichigo, I am not talking about Soul Society. I am talking about a place that only the demon next to you knows how to get to."
Ichigo turned to Dante, but before he could speak, Dante agreed to go.
"Demon?", Naruto asked, "Does he have a tailed beast in him too?" He looked around waiting for an answer that never came.
"Why do you want us to go to Hell?" Dante asked.
"I need you find a certain someone for me. I need you to bring back the Ghost of Sparta from the depths of Hades." He replied. "Simple enough, you bring him, I release your friends."
"You can't bring people back to life.", Naruto said as he looked at the ground, "or my parents would.." He trailed off in thought.
Tobi just laughed, and again disappeared through the floor, reappearing next to Naruto. He turned to Naruto, and chuckled. "You may just be surprised who you find there Jinchuuriki. A ninjas life is full of death and violence."
Naruto didn't quite know what he meant by that, but it made his whole body tensed up regardless. Ichigo on the other hand knew exactly what he meant. After seeing so many Hollows, and the people underneath them, nothing would surprise him.
"Let's go", Tobi said. He began to disappear into his own eye, pulling the others with him. They ended up in a dimly lit room. Dante looked around, and spotted exactly what he was looking for. Against the far wall made of old cobblestones, he saw his sword, The Rebellion. Next to that were his pistols aptly named Ebony and Ivory.
"Zangetsu!" Ichigo exclaimed, at the sight of his sword.
Tobi began to release their bonds, starting with Luffy. He jumped up, and shouted, "Gum Gum Pistol" as he swung at Tobi. His fist flew through Tobi, and smashed into wall causing several stones to fall off of it.
"You threatened my nakama!" Luffy shouted as steam began to seep out of his mouth.
Luffy launched an extremely fast punch at Tobi, but it went through him again, but the quick follow up punch did not. Tobi was sent flying towards the wall, but just before he hit it, he phased through the wall, and reappeared on the other side of the room.
"Don't make me kill you." He said as he focused his Sharigan on Luffy, "Your haki can't predict this eye."
Tobi walked towards him without changing his focus, he began to untie the others. None of the others attempted to attack him as Naruto warned them what that eye could do. They all gathered their weapons.
"Now. Go." Tobi said. A vortex appeared behind the others, and began to pull them into it.
They appeared in an old office building of sorts. The floor was littered in various places with Jack Daniel bottles and pizza boxes. There was a chair and a desk against the back wall. In the far corner there was a drum set, it looked as if it was used frequently. There were a couple of posters, and neon signs lit up along the wall.
"Where are we?" Naruto asked.
"This is my office." Dante replied.
Everybody looked at him in disbelief. The first one to speak was Ichigo.
"You have an office. Just who the hell are you?"
Before Dante could answer, the door opened, and a man walked in. The man was dressed in blue cargo pants, and was wearing a light brown jacket. He had light brown hair with bangs that covered his right eye.
"Which one of you is Dante?", he asked looking around at the odd assortment of people. He paused particularly on Naruto when he saw his bright orange outfit.
"I am." Dante replied. "What can I do for you?"
"I came here for your help." The man continued in a serious tone "I heard you're a private investigator, and I need the help of somebody who is off the books." Dante just waved him arms as if to say go on.
"I am looking for somebody who has disappeared without a trace, and is very important to our cause." The man showed Dante a photo of a young women with red hair tied up in a ponytail.
"I don't have time for this right now" Dante began "I've got a bit of a task ahead of me."
"We're goin to Hell" Luffy blurted out as he stretched his own cheeks.
"Hell? I've been there and back a few times" the man said as he stared at Luffy who began stretching his cheeks even further.
"Just who are you?" Ichigo interrupted.
"My name is Leon S. Kennedy." He replied.
Authors Note: I hope I am doing a good job with attempting to mesh these very different characters together. I know it's a tough dynamic, but I think I can make it work. Let me know what you think in the reviews please.
