Chapter 23
For the few hours they had stayed inside the Artificial Eden, the gang had their moments of peace. Gon had one of the most wonderful days of his life, he had earn two new family and leaned that her mother is one of the most beautiful thing he had ever discover towards his journey as hunter.
Magenta cast a feast in the garden of even, everyone was happy though the arch angels are slightly wary to Hisoka and Illumi but still the feast ended in peace.
"Onee-sama" Scarlet and Magenta finally had their moments alone, they watch from the afar the illuminating lights of the dinner table where there is Gon and Killua laughing and eating all the desserts, Kurapika talking to Leorio about his experience who is thankfully awake while Bisky is talking to one of the handsome arch angels, they had their few minutes of breather inside the zombie island.
Magenta hold onto Scarlet's hand with a loving smile "I'm so happy to see you again" she said with a teary eyes
"Ooh~ don't start with that Onee-sama" Scarlet sniff and wipe some tears on the corner of her eyes
There's a silence as they enjoy the scenery.
"Onee-sama I have a confession…" Scarlet finally broke the silence with troubled look on her face "I'm sorry I took this" she pull out white necklace diamond from her doctor's coat and handed it to Magenta
Magenta eyes widen in surprise and look at Scarlet in disbelief "H-how did you get this, this is always here"
"I did came here in the past with Ging, Onee-sama" Scarlet gave a force smile hoping that can do it but she should know better to fool her older sister
Magenta shook her head "N-no that time, I was still alive… but when I died they made me the keeper of this jewel….you know what this jewel is and what it do, right Scar?"
Scarlet nodded in sorrowfully "Its Dark Fate, used by Death all the time to lure someone to their deaths"
"Then why do you have it!, how did you get it" Magenta said with raged and hurt
Scarlet didn't said a word and just bow her head in guilt
"Scarlet…did you already die?" Magenta ask with a trembling tone
Scarlet eyes water and nodded forcefully
Magenta gritted her teeth and shook her sister's shoulder "WHAT!, h-how- what- …what happen! Were you killed? What happen to mom and dad you-"
Scarlet shook her head and hug Magenta fiercely and whisper to her ears what happen, Magenta eyes widen on that revelation, tear form in her eyes as she hug Scarlet tighter.
"W-why didn't you tell me sooner"
Scarlet grip her fist tighter "B-because I fail"
Magenta pull back and look at her baby sister's face "Don't say that, don't you ever say that… wait" Magenta hold on to Scarlet's warm face "Why is that you're feel alive… you're alive right?"
Scarlet nodded "I became a lost spirit for years Onee-sama, until… I finally know how to reincarnate myself, it wasn't my time…I knew it, so I fought death using that daimond's power and.."
Magenta let out a gaps and pull back, looking up and down at Scarlet in disbelief "Y-you traded yourself as a…"
Scarlet nodded
Magenta step forward "B-but Scarlet, where's your sin?"
Scarlet let out a bitter smile "The reason why…I can still face the person who killed our family Onee-sama is because, I lock her up here"
Magenta gaps "You idiot!, that could kill you if you didn't return for a year!"
"But I did didn't I?"
"What if you didn't! you idiot! That was a stupid thing to do"
"I had to do it" Scarlet cried with a determine face as she put a hand on her stomach, Magenta didn't miss it. "I had to do it, because… because he's my precious….he's all I have left" she look up Magenta's red eyes
Magenta clutch her fist, tears running to her cheeks "oh~ my…What am I going to do with you…" she murmur as she hug her little sister sorrowful figure "I assume you stole the red one too?"
Scarlet nodded still had her face buried to her sister's non existing small chest
"And feed it with a one thousand soul?"
"Y-yes"
"You didn't massacre people do you?"
"N-no"
"Then how?" Magenta ask with a cute strict tone
"I- I battle in heaven's tower for a year and killed 1 thousand people" Scarlet confess like a child who done a wrong deed
Magenta let out a gentle chuckle "How Ironic"
That morning everyone gather up to Magenta who finally found Melody, Magenta gentle face were mix with a worry and troubled, Scarlet who just came in click her tongue in disapproval. Finally Kurapika can't take any more stress from unknowing where his friend is started asking about the situation.
Scarlet first explain that Melody is in a deep trouble, that she went off her own and went to Lazy Castle where another sin is staying. Sloth, lock up Melody and will be executed after she tried to still Sonata of Darkness the piano version.
"Darn it, I told her….I told her we'll do it together" Kurprika murmur in frustration, it was only loud enough for Scarlet to hear
"Is there for some reason she want that dangerous piece?" Scarlet in pure curiosity
"S-she's in that, because she heard the flute version of the Sonata's Death" Kurapika simply confess
"Oooh~ so that's why she look like that" Scarlet simply said but earn a glare from Kurapika
"She has kind heart and all she wanted to do is to get her appearance back" he said in a determine look but Scarlet only gave heavy sigh
"You shouldn't have encourage her to get all those Sonata's Kurapika" Scarlet said with a serious look on her face "It wouldn't do her any good"
Kurapika look glumly "That's her goal as hunter, her only wish, how could I not encourage her"
Scarlet sigh again "Well for starters… do you really think gathering those 4 Sonatas of Death can actually bring her back to normal?"
Kurapika look Scarlet with a confuse expression, she smile at him "If those 4 those Sonatas are played, Melody won't get her appearance back…she'll able to Summon Satan"
Kurapika eyes widen in shock
Magenta and gang pull out a plan to get Melody, the two evil duo just tag along like bored children looking for blood and action.
"Okay so everyone got the plan?" Magenta ask they all nodded
"Okay good, we have to do this fast…you guys don't have much time, so you have to be completed before tomorrow…luckily this is only Sloth….reminder to all, Zombie Island first timer… the place is twice as dangerous now as it was tomorrow. Be careful of the sins, undertaker and other creatures here…one of the team of three die…the two stays…ready?"
Everyone nodded and Magenta gave an excited squeal ruining the tense moment "Goodie it's been a while since I went out of the field"
Gon and Scarlet animated sweat drop along with the others
"Now go!" Everyone jump down the clouds then was caught by Arch angels giving them a ride to Lazy Castle.
Everyone was caught except for Hisoka and Illumi who luckily summon Cerberus
"I'm bored" Hisoka whine in a bored tone
Illumi just ignore this with his same blank expression and seized Cerberus to follow the flying humans
