CHAPTER 4: ACCOMPLISHMENT
__________________________________________________________
Dark clouds whirled like black mountains of torrents above the towering palace of Celestial Emperor as forces surrounded its owner- Celestial Emperor, the owner’s rival- Kurikara. Hisoka had managed to synchronize with Kurikara’s strength.
“Insolent fools” The Celestial Emperor’s voice rumbled in the air: “Do you think you can win me? Kurikara, you traitor of GenSouKai, do you think you can stop me from taking this human child? What I’m doing is for the well being of this world as a whole, or do you desire to see its destruction? Without me, this world will end!”
“Hah! Stop using those nice excuses about you being a savior, all you do is banishing and branding people who are against your selfish actions as traitors!” Kurikara snarled and revealed his true form as fire dragon from Hisoka’s body.
Celestial Emperor grimaced, his aging face transformed and turned into a jade dragon.
A small voice whispered into Celestial Emperor’s mind.
//Yesss… That’s right, my Lord. Fight that traitor and get what you want. With the strength from that little Shinigami, you can be able to repair the falling barriers of Gensou Kai.//
‘Damnit, that old dragon’s force is getting unbearable, am I going to perish with this kid under his growing strength?’ Kurikara panicked within himself. An overwhelming force surrounded the fire dragon and Hisoka, closing into them, suffocating them.
“Leave this child here and I can let you die painlessly.” Celestial Emperor roared, increasing his bound over them.
‘Damnit, am I going to die without revenging for my people who have suffered from what this emperor has done to them?’ Kurikara grinded. Beams of Kurikara’s aura shot around Hisoka and Kurikara, but were rebound back by Celestial Emperor’s barrier.
Hisoka saw the beams of force flying towards him and prepared his shield. He had experienced Kurikara’s blow before and knew its fatality. Suddenly, the boy felt a large body covered his own from the hit. He opened his eyes to meet Kurikara’s.
“Can’t let you die like this, especially by someone else in front of my eyes,” the dragon form Kurikara grinned with tinge of angst in his eyes.
“Why?” Hisoka wondered. He felt strange evil aura of thoughts surrounding Celestial emperor.
“There’s evil aura around the Celestial Emperor. Someone is trying to manipulate his mind!” Hisoka called.
‘Evil thoughts? Konton!’ Kurikara thought in realization.
//Fufufufufu… Fights, battles… only the stronger shall rule. Do what will be to your advantage, Celestial Emperor. This traitor is trying to prevent you from regaining your strength and your aim to build up your kingdom!//
“Just as I thought, Konton is always looking for ways to create chaos and destructions.” Kurikara growled.
But the Celestial Emperor’s mind was already infected with Konton’s sweet words.
“Prepare to die painfully, traitor!” roared Celestial Emperor.
______________________________________________________________
“TOUDA!!” Tsuzuki yelled, hoping to ‘wake’ his shikigami’s possessed mind. The serpent did not seem to hear him. Instead, he started attacking them with his fires and the troops behind him prevented the shikigami from advancing to the palace.
“YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT!!” Suzaku roared angrily and transformed into her phoenix form, shielding Tsuzuki and started diving at the serpent shikigami.
“The flowering wind is getting stronger.” SohRyu said, almost whispering to himself as he looked into the sky.
“Father.” Kirin said uneasily besides him.
‘That child,’ SohRyu thought of Hisoka: ‘I should have killed him earlier. He is bringing the worst disaster into GensouKai.’
Byakko rolled his eyes: “No point complaining, people, let’s get these troops down and go into that palace!”
“That’s right, it’s time for battle!” Suzaku roared in unison and rushed into battle-mode.
Tsuzuki glared helplessly as all his shikigami flew into battle. With no one else noticing him, he mingled his way into the more isolated deserted area, moving towards the palace. The only person in his mind is Kurosaki Hisoka.
“Don’t worry, Hisoka, I’ll save you.” Tsuzuki thought in determination to himself.
Suddenly, rays of red and white lights towered and flashed from within the palace, blowing some rocks off the walls.
There was a fierce battle going on inside.
“HISOKA!!!” Tsuzuki screamed and flew faster towards the towering lights. SohRyu raise his eyes to see his departing master and quickly, he abandoned his fight and flew after the flying Shinigami.
In the sky, flowering winds blew and whirled in larger quantity.
_____________________________________________________________
Kurikara was be able to continue his battle with Celestial Emperor in equal strength for hours. One reason was because Hisoka was continuously using his healing strength to close his wounds whenever he was hit by Celestial Emperor’s attack and other reason was due to the fact that the Emperor had given a large potion of his strength to SohRyu many centuries ago in his drive to banish Kurikara.
Despite that, the fire dragon knew that his strength was failing him in face of his opponent’s increasing force.
“Damnit, this is getting worse.” Kurikara growled to himself.
“This is not the important part. The most critical matter is to drive that evil aura known as Konton out of Celestial Emperor’s mind.” Hisoka analysed.
“What?! You mean abandoning revenging for my people is NOT the important part?!” Kurikara growled.
“Is revenge the only..” Hisoka stopped short in thought: ‘Wasn’t I the same, never stop forgetting to seek revenge from Muraki for what he has done to me?’
“Hey, kid, you haven’t answer my question!” Kurikara pressed on angrily.
Many things went through Hisoka’s mind. The torture under the sakura tree many years ago…. The evil smile on the doctor’s face as Hisoka was forced to shoot Tsubaki-hime with a pistol…. Tsuzuki’s blank expression when Hisoka found him in the basement during their Kyoto mission…..
Oriya’s words echoed in his mind again.
//The power of hatred cannot win…//
“That’s right,” Hisoka almost muttered to himself, aloud: “I’ll get that aura away. Maybe without the unnecessary interference, you can negotiate with the Celestial Emperor about your people’s situation. SohRyu has told me about him, I believe he is not an entirely heartless person!”
Hisoka ducked from Kurikara’s protective body and ran over towards Celestial Emperor’s direction.
“HEY!!” Kurikara screamed hysterically: “COME BACK, YOU CRAZY KID!!!!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF???!!!!”
Hisoka ignored Kurikara’s scream. Swift like lightning even before Kurikara reacted, Celestial Emperor’s dragon whiskers shot and bound Hisoka’s wrists to his slender waist together.
Tsuzuki flew into the hall just in time to see silver and crimson dragons entwining together in battle. Bound within the whiskers of the silver dragon was Hisoka. The boy’s eyes were tightly shut.
“HISOKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Tsuzuki screamed in horror and flew up to save the teenager.
A strong barrier rebound him away.
“HISOKA!!!!’ screamed Tsuzuki.
“Silence! That kid is trying to assimilate into Celestial Emperor’s thought!” the crimson dragon spoke in Kurikara’s voice.
____________________________________________________________
Floating in the mind of the Celestial Emperor, Hisoka saw the rise and fall of GenSouKai, the birth of Kijin and Tenkou when Celestial Emperor imparted his strength to SohRyu and the eventual failing of Celestial Emperor’s strength to keep GenSouKai together. Then, Hisoka saw the clouds of darkness that invaded Celestial Emperor’s thinking.
Hisoka mediated using the spell of ReiBaku to extract Konton from Celestial Emperor’s mind.
The huge body of Celestial Emperor glowed with Hisoka’s strength.
“Kurikara!” Hisoka suddenly opened his eyes: “Attack, NOW!!!!!”
Immediately, the aura of Konton was forced out of Celestial Emperor. Kurikara released his deadly rays, but like a mist, Konton vanished without a trace before the rays could hit it.
The silver dragon fell towards the ground with Hisoka. Tsuzuki quickly flew to catch the boy in his arms before he hit the ground.
The silvery dragon shifted and turned into an elderly man. Kurikara transformed back to his human form.
“Alright, old man, now we can talk.” Kurikara snorted, taking a little glance at Hisoka to check if the boy was all right.
“Celestial Emperor!” SohRyu’s voice erupted into the hall: “Did that traitor do anything to you?”
___________________________________________________________
Outside, Touda blinked his eyes, his nails and hair changed back to normal.
“DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suzaku roared as she dived down in her phoenix form.
Touda ducked away: “Stop it, crazy woman, I’m not in a fighting mood with you today. Where are we?”
“Seems that he’s back to normal.” Byakko said. Behind the troops that the shikigami were fighting began to vanish. Above, dark clouds swam out of the palace and sky began to clear.
“What happen?” Kirin wondered aloud.
“We’ll need to go to the palace to find out.” Rikugou said.
_________________________________________________________
Back in the palace, SohRyu stood protectively in front of Celestial Emperor as Kurikara stared at the awaking elderly man.
“Arigato, Kurikara,” Tsuzuki suddenly said.
“For what?” Kurikara asked unconcerned.
“…for saving Hisoka’s life.” Tsuzuki said.
“Che! It’s nothing, that my duty anyway.” Kurikara snorted with the last few words in smaller voice.
“Huh? You mean….”
“That kid has passed my test.” Kurikara snorted, looking at other direction with reddened face.
“Wh..what happen…?” a weak voice of Celestial Emperor said.
Eventually, it was found that Konton had already invaded Celestial Emperor’s mind bit by bit when Kurikara and SohRyu was young and the mind invasion became more in-depth after Kurikara’s banishment. That was also when Konton managed to control a few shikigami’s mind like what has happened to Touda using Celestial Emperor. In short, it had become part of Celestial Emperor’s thought like a parasite.
Kurikara’s people were eventually allowed back to GenSouKai and his conflicts with SohRyu ended though they bickered over slightest matter unnecessary with Rikugou always the final one to break them up before the bicker turned into a fight.
As for Hisoka and Tsuzuki, they returned back to Meifu. Though the problem of wormholes still persisted, peace slowly returned back to GenSouKai.
Hisoka took a last look at the scenery before leaving; somehow, he couldn’t forget Riku- his first shikigami who had risked his life to save him.
“Hey,” Kurikara called the teenage Shinigami: “Don’t forget to call me when there’s a good fighting opponent.”
“Why don’t you just tell him that you’ll protect him whenever he gets into danger?” Byakko suggested.
“Shut. Up.” Kurikara growled. Kirin only smiled.
“Come and visit us again!” TenKou raised her hands and waved as Tsuzuki and Hisoka were transported back to Meifu.
SohRyu did not see them off. Instead, he looked at Hisoka from afar.
The scent of flowery wind did not go away.
‘What does this mean?’ SohRyu wondered to himself. The bad feeling did not go away. Instead, it became stronger.
__________________________________________________________
In a high-class grand ballroom, guests were chatting casually. It was a birthday celebration of a senior doctor. Ukyou had attended the ballroom as form of respect as she and Muraki used to be his students during the early times. Oriya accompanied her.
Ukyou tried to put on a happy smile and tried to avoid any topic related to Muraki whenever her ex-classmates asked her for fear she would not be able to control her tears.
Throughout, Oriya was feeling bored with the often medical related conversations and went out to take a walk in the garden.
Suddenly, he thought he saw someone in white with silvery hair flashed before his eyes. Oriya blinked. There was no way that Muraki would be around as he was supposed to be dead in Kyoto.
“I must be having a drop too much.” Oriya rubbed his head.
___________________________________________________________
In the darkness of a room, the senior doctor who was Muraki and Ukyou’s ex-professor entered the door, letting the light shone down into the blackness of the room.
“It’s been long since we’ve last met.” The doctor said.
“I have something to discuss with you.” A man sat up in the silhouette from an armchair.
The man’s face came into the light, showing the evil gleam of Muraki Kazutaka’s.
“You’ll be extremely interested, sensei.” Muraki’s silver eye shone.
__________________________________________________________
Tsuzuki could not help but relieved to see Hisoka breathing steadily when he pulled the child into his arms when the boy plunged down with Celestial Emperor’s huge dragon form.
‘I’ll never let you leave me again, Hisoka. No matter what happen, I’ll do anything to keep you safe by my side.’ Tsuzuki thought determinedly as he looked into Hisoka’s sweet sleeping face as he held the blonde boy in his arms.
He was extremely relieved when he learnt that Hisoka had succeeded getting the powerful Kurikara as his shikigami. In this way, the teenager would have greater strength to protect himself from Muraki and perhaps Tsuzuki himself.
Tsuzuki could not help, but remembered his terrible past. He did not want the same thing to happen to Hisoka - the most important person and partner in his life.
“Stop thinking of those unhappy things, baka.” Hisoka scolded gently as they descended back to the world of Meifu.
“Kurosaki-kun, congratulation for your success in getting a shikigami!” Wakaba chanted happily. Terazuma muttered something like Hisoka was just plain lucky and walked off sulking.
“Don’t bother about him, Kurosaki-kun.” Wakaba smiled and to Terazuma: “Don’t be mean, Hajime-kun!”
“Kurosaki-domo is doing great in GenSou Kai, you should have seen the battle!” Kotarou chipped happily. Kojirou nodded.
“Really? Tell me more!” Wakaba asked and followed them to other corner of the room to chat with them.
Hisoka suddenly felt goose pimples popping up on him.
“HISOKA-CHAN!!! (Heart)” Saya and Yuma suddenly appeared by the door and instantly noticed Hisoka in his silky yukata.
There was a long pause…..
“K…..KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Saya and Yuma jumped and groped the poor Hisoka who immediately ran off. The two girls ran after him.
“Tsuzuki-san, has everything gone well?” Tatsumi asked as he entered the room.
“Hai,” Tsuzuki smiled. He paused as he saw a worried look in Tatsumi’s face: “Has anything happen, Tatsumi?”
Tatsumi paused and shook his head: “Eh, nothing in particular.”
Tatsumi knew Tsuzuki too well. The violet-eyed man was a worry king, especially when it concerned the safety of his partner- Hisoka. He did not have the courage to tell Tsuzuki that Hisoka’s corpse was stolen from his hometown. Not to mention that the main culprit could be Muraki.
Tsuzuki looked around. “ Hm? Where’s Watari?”
Tatsumi shrugged: “In some of his weird experiments, I supposed.”
