~Clear Up~

~BRYIN'S POV~

"What the hell is going on?" Yusuke yelled out from the top of his lounges, pacing back and forth in one of the many large rooms in Genkai's temple.

"Yusuke if you calm down a minute I will explain." I worried for Yusuke's sanity.

The way things kind of suddenly happen, I know I would feel like I was going insane. Kurama, who I instantly figured out was really a fox demon, Hiei, and somewhat, Kuwabara took a seat quietly. Every once in a while Kuwabara would pop back up with at least five questions coming out of his mouth. Yusuke finally plotted himself on the floor with a giant huff.

"Hm…where to begin." I thought out loud.

"How about…who were those people and who are you." Kurama asked a bit on edge.

"The, now dead, "father" is Kushin the angel of Torture from hell. The woman is Chouwa the angel of Harmony from hell. And then there is Zetsumei the angel of Death from hell. I am Bryin the angel of Life from Heaven." I introduced.

"Wait a minute. You killed an angel…from hell?" Kuwabara was already confused.

"Yes. Unfortunately there will be another to replace him soon enough." I said nonchalantly.

That was the life of an angel. If, for some reason, you were to lose your title, you would be replaced almost as soon as you are gone.

"How can life kill?" Yusuke was next in line.

"It can't. Kushin is dead. But…he won't be going to heaven or hell. He'll pretty much stay floating about in deep space." I replied.

"So that's why Chouwa was freaking out when she came into your sights." Kurama stated out loud.

"Yes, now to move on. It seems you have just met up with me in the middle of a war." I said nervously laughing.

"Say what?" Yusuke and Kuwabara spitted out.

"What do you mean?" Kurama came back in.

"Well…it's the basic…obvious…good vs. evil. It's been going on before man-kind. We were at the peak of this centuries battle when me and my best friend, Alexander, realized that our side of the battle wasn't going anywhere." I continued.

"Alexander?" Hiei raised his eyebrows.

"Alexander…the angel of death…from Heaven." I looked up to the sky.

"Say what? Now there are two angels of deaths?" Yusuke again flipped out.

"Yes. Whatever is on one side, there is on the other. This means there is also the angel of life from Hell." I clarified.

"Oh." Was the only simple answer I received.

"Either way, Alex and I figured fighting our counter parts wasn't going to work. Alex and Zetsu had no limits of how to get rid of the other. And Drakkar, the angel of life from hell and I, sort of refused to fight each other. Though both of us stood for two different reasons, to try to kill what we create is a major contradiction. So Alex and I came to an understanding. He didn't want evil life and I didn't want the death of evil to make what is in hell even stronger, so we switched. Alex took on Drakkar, and I took on Zetsu." I paused in case of any questions.

"Kind of makes sense." Kuwabara looked a bit dizzy from trying to keep up.

"Yes, well, when we did, of course our battles went a little more smoothly. But I still couldn't just…fight. It's not in my nature. So Zetsu was able to easily over power me. Which he did with pleasure. A month into our battle and I was caught. Humiliated, destroyed, and tortured for days until he decided to put his plan into motion. He destroyed my wings and…other things I'd rather not say. Ugh, I won't allow it to happen again. He will be brought down." Anger began to boil inside me.

I'm the Angel of life…not of peace. I allowed it to hold me back for so long I couldn't do anything to stop him. But that is one thing I can thank Zetsumei for. For opening my eyes to that knowledge.


~YUSUKE'S POV~

While Bryin went into deep thought, his aura turned into a deep fiery red. Kuwabara scooted back a little, Hiei suddenly held complete interest, and Kurama showed no signs of moving.

Before he blew the place up I decided to interrupt.

"So Bryin, mind if I ask a few questions?" I started to list and count everything that happened that was out of the ordinary.

"Huh? Of course." Bryin said with his usual smile.

"First off, the gun…where'd you get it?"

"Uh…oh right the gun. I got it sometime ago when my…Kushin's beatings got worse. I didn't think I would ever use it, but I brought it with me in case it went too far of an extreme." Bryin continued more entranced in his thoughts.

"What about being flung across the room?" Hiei asked my next question.

"It was Zetsu. It's the law in Heaven and Hell to keep separate from the humans as much as possible. I guess he figured in the end you guys would figure it out and decided to make his appearance now." Bryin concluded.

"And the demon?" Kurama asked my next question.

"A demon from hell. Not from the demon world, but sent as a mission from someone from hell to come and get me. I would say Zetsu…but that isn't like him." Bryin continued to think.

"Someone else might be involved? How lovely, I can barely keep up with what is on the platter."

Bryin chuckled.

"Well at least some of this is uncovered. Still leaves whatever Kouken is up too." Kowenma finally spoke.

"Oh right, Kouken. How can I forget him?" I mentally slapped myself.

"Kouken? Kouken is in this?" Bryin suddenly became excited.

"You know who he is?" Kurama asked.

"Kouken is one of the sweetest demons you'll ever meet!" Bryin got giddy.

"Mind explaining what he is doing?" Kowenma asked a bit curious.

"Kouken is sort of an angel, sent by Heaven to keep the balance in the human world. His job is to make sure nothing from Heaven or Hell disturbs the life of the living." Bryin explained. It was the simplest explanation he had all day.

"Kouken; the guardian of the living. Interesting." Kurama thought his words out loud.

"Any other questions?" Byrin asked with a huge smile.

"Kouken is getting the world ready for destruction. The random demon was sent to get you because of the war. Zetsu is a part of the war…and you're a part of the war. And we have no control over what is happening. I think that just about settles it." Kowenma spoke for them all.

"Except…why did he bring you here, to the human world?" Kurama came up with one more question.

"He is trying to break me. I don't know why, but it seems, even when he was fighting Alex, I have always been his target. If Alex wasn't on top of Zetsu, Zetsu would be right behind me in an instant." Bryin sighed at his own thoughts. "To be honest I'm surprised my title of being the angel of life hasn't been taken away yet with all the screw ups and miss happens." A nervous laugh escaped.

"You're not dead, and even though you were brought to the human world your duty as an Angel is still high and strong in you." Genkai finally spoke. Go figures it would be a word of the wise.

"I suppose."

Genkai's words had no effect on Bryin's withered spirit. Bryin didn't think he no longer deserved the title of being the Angel of Life from Heaven. What could you say to that?
