Five worlds existed in separate realms.
There was Heaven, the realm of the angels, and of course Hell, the realm
of devils and demons. Each was reigned by their respective Lord.
Between them stood Meifu, the place where the souls of the living were
judged before they went either to Heaven or Hell. The shinigami, the angels
of death, were the executive force of Meifu. They were sent out to retrieve
lost souls, souls about to be claimed by devils, and to fight against Hell
for each and every soul. Their work place was ChiJou, the world of the
living, which was unaware for most parts that there were beings like them.
Last but not least came GensouKai, the home of the shikigami. Among
all of them, the shikigami were the only ones who lived in a digital world,
a place where they had found refuge when the world of the living had pushed
their realm close to extinction because of the rapid growth of science
and humanity as such. Shikigami worked as partners with the shinigami,
though not every angel of death had such a being.
Some had one.
Normal was two or three.
Only one shinigami in all Meifu commanded twelve, and those were the
most powerful of them all � the Divine Commanders.
Tsuzuki Asato was one of the oldest shinigami in the Shokan Division
and until a few years ago he had been one among many. He had been seen
as lazy, childish, too caught up in sweets and other goodies, always ready
to shirk his duty. He hated writing reports and had one of the calmest
regions to take care of.
Until a few years ago...
Things had changed rapidly in those past few years. Relationships had
developed, friendships had formed, old beliefs had been destroyed or forever
altered, and Tsuzuki had proven to be a lot more than what he showed to
the outside.
To everyone.
Tsuzuki was vitally important to the survival of the five realms, he
was the pivotal point of all power, he wielded that power, and it was all
wrapped up in that innocent package. No one had known about his importance
until the day he had almost died because of a virus that had struck down
Touda, killing the shikigami bonded to him through Enma-Daiou's intervention.
That virus was the reason why Watari Yutaka, shinigami and certified
genius, owner of three doctorates, an agile mind that was intrigued by
anything and everything, had started his research into the origin of this
strange infection. Touda had been infected throughout the days he and Watari
had worked on the Key, the access device created for Terazuma. With the
Key, Terazuma was no longer forced to rely on the regular Gates into GensouKai.
Touda had been working on the GensouKai side, Watari on the Meifu side,
and together the Key had become a success.
But it had also started an avalanche of events.
By now, after so much time had passed, Watari knew that the avalanche
had started a long time ago. Probably right around the time of Tsuzuki's
death.
The blond sat back and chewed on his lower lip.
Terazuma's detective mind had been a great help in discovering new and
mostly scary facts. They had taken apart the occurrences of the last fifty
years, starting with when GensouKai had entered the digital world. That
had been the moment when Tsuzuki's role had been forever changed. He commanded
the twelve Divine Commanders, and with it the Council of the four Protectors.
The Protectors had been responsible for moving GensouKai into the world
of the Net, and only because Tsuzuki had supplied them with enough psychic
power had they been able to accomplish this feat.
Shinigami profited from the strength of their master. Tsuzuki was exceptional.
Very much so. His strength supplied all twelve with more than they had
ever felt before, it had enabled them to survive in their new realm, stabilize
it, balance it in the Net. Should this psychic energy link die, the twelve
would no longer be able to keep GensouKai from drifting away from the other
realms.
Watari had been baffled and scared by this, mainly because of the coincidence.
GensouKai had become unstable right around the time the last of the
twelve, Touda, had become Tsuzuki's shikigami. Byakko had been the first
over seventy years ago, and the others had followed, some by accident,
some by challenge.
Tsuzuki had saved the shinigami world by accident, too. No one had known.
But the Golden Emperor, the Lord of GensouKai, should have been able
to tell.
No one knew the Emperor. No one had seen him since the wars that had
raged through GensouKai. Not even Sohryu, the representative of him, had
ever seen him face to face.
Another mystery.
As they dug deeper and deeper, Watari was convinced that this was one
complex and dangerous enterprise they were undertaking. They were trying
to find answers and only had more questions, and his fear always somersaulted
when he remembered the authorized access to his computer that had wiped
the only copy of the strange computer virus that had nearly killed Touda.
Only one person could access his computer.
Well, two, actually. Of those two, one was a super-computer. The other
was the Lord of Hades himself.
Watari shivered.
003 hooted softly and nibbled at his hair.
"Yes," he murmured and stroked over the tiny head with a finger. "I
know. But... what other explanation is there?"
Another hoot and she hopped closer.
Watari smiled sadly.
He was startled by the door banging open and Tatsumi running into the
room. For a second the shadows quivered and Watari swallowed hard.
"Terazuma has disappeared!"
The blond paled dramatically. "What?!"
Blue eyes were ablaze with emotions. "He left for GensouKai and only
the Black One arrived. Terazuma isn't either in Meifu or in GensouKai and
we can't locate him in the world of the living. We're already looking."
Watari began to tremble. "Enma's name..."
° ° °
Sohryu stared at the sight before him with wide, disbelieving eyes.
He felt the same surprise from the man who had accompanied him.
"Kagankokushunkei," Touda whispered and it sounded like a curse.
The huge, black lion lifted its head from its paws, rumbling softly.
The large bat wings lay limply at his side, the dark fur glistened in the
sun, and the red eyes held a strangely dull expression.
Sohryu couldn't sense Terazuma in the lion, so this wasn't a simple
transformation to let the lion roam free. And Hajime had never come here
in his lion form either.
The moment the gate had opened, Sohryu had been alerted to his lover's
arrival, but when he had gone out to meet him, there had been no one. Only
the lion.
"Something's wrong," Touda growled and walked over to the impressive
shikigami.
The lion whined a little, looking far from aggressive.
"Where is he, cat?"
Another whine, followed by a wuffling sound. The wings shook weakly.
Sohryu paled.
Touda just stared at the lower shikigami in astonishment.
"Impossible," he murmured.
Terazuma had started the jump with the lion inside him, using his shikigami's
innate power to come to his home realm to navigate, coupled with the Key
Watari had made him. Nothing could go wrong; nothing had ever gone wrong.
Terazuma and Kagankokushunkei were fused together until Terazuma either
ascended or died. Nothing could separate them.
But only the lion had arrived.
Terazuma was gone.
Touda's eyes took on a faraway expression, then closed slowly as he
sank quickly into the bond he had to his shinigami master.

::Tsuzuki!::
There was a startled yelp, then the powerful presence of his friend
was there, quizzical. ::Touda?::
::Is Terazuma in Meifu?:: he demanded.
::Huh? Terazuma? No, I don't think so. He wanted to visit Sohryu. Why?::
Touda swallowed a curse.
::Touda?::
::The lion arrived. Terazuma didn't::
::What?!:: Tsuzuki's presence grew. ::Where is he?::
::I wish I knew. Are you sure he isn't in Meifu?::
::I'll look:: he promised. ::I'll get back to you. Tell Sohryu to sit
tight.::
Touda almost smiled, then pulled slowly back as not to hurt his master.
When he opened his eyes, he was looking into the stormy ones of his oldest
friend.
"Tsuzuki is looking for Terazuma."
Sohryu rumbled a little and was about to turn when Touda grabbed his
arm.
"And he told me to tell you not to come to Meifu. Tsuzuki is taking
care of things there. He'll get back to me the moment he has something."
Golden eyes glanced at the lion not far away. "We have to take care of
the Black One."
Sohryu followed his gaze, looking at the lower shikigami. His lover's
shikigami.
"Yes," he murmured.
Touda clapped him on the back. "Let's go. Leave the rest to our master
for now."
As strange as it sounded, it was the best to do. Tsuzuki was a lot more
than he appeared to be and he was quite capable of handling the Meifu side
of things.
° ° °
Hands clapped in the mockery of an applause and silvery eyes shone in
the soft light of the room.
"Bravo," Muraki chuckled. "You actually did it."
The slender, handsome figure of Enma-Daiou turned to his sole companion
in this vast space of no-time and smiled. It was a chilling smile, cold
and calculating.
"It isn't victory yet."
"It never is." Muraki leaned against a precious marble pillar that had
been made by the most talented of all artists, hewn in the most expensive
of marble. It was cool and smooth against his skin, the coolness seeping
through his simple, white shirt.
Enma smiled more. He walked over to the other man and those infinite,
black eyes met inhuman silvery ones.
"Do you still think your plan will succeed?"
Muraki smiled coldly. "I am a master."
"Never forget your place with me, though," was the soft addition and
slender but strong fingers pushed fine strands of hair out of the human's
face.
"Never," Muraki purred.
He was pulled into a hard kiss that ended in a bite that clearly told
him his rank and position.
"Let me go?" he whispered as a hand slipped around his waist, pulling
him closer to his master and lover.
"Hm, I think I have to," Enma replied roughly, then kissed him again.
This time it wasn't a simple kiss. It was deep and demanding and its
force pushed Muraki against the pillar, one of those slender but vice-like
hands around his wrists as they were pushed above his head, the other inside
his pants. He closed his eyes and groaned loudly.
"Later, you can go," Enma whispered.
His reply was sealed with another kiss that took his breath away.
° ° °
Tsuzuki ran into the lab and came to a sudden stop as he took in the
presence of both Tatsumi and Watari. 003 hooted a greeting and he gave
her a brief smile. The ex-angel was perched on a shelf, watching them.
"Terazuma..." he started.
"Disappeared," Tatsumi finished.
Tsuzuki nodded. "I just heard if from Touda. Where is he?"
"We don't know," Watari said softly, looking worried. "The lion is in
GensouKai?"
"Yes. He's confused and Touda says he refuses to move from where he
landed. Right now they have Tenkou and Kijin watching him."
"I'll scan the realms," the scientist told them.
"You can do that?" Tatsumi exclaimed.
"Well, in a way," was the slightly hesitant reply. "You know I experimented
with the wormhole technique and created the Key."
The Shadow Master nodded, frowning slightly, arms crossed.
"And... and to work with wormholes, you have to understand how they
connect to the realms. I, errr, well, I developed a scanning system to
find out where each realm is in relation to another at a specific moment
in time."
Watari twisted his hands. He wasn't as enthusiastic about it as he usually
was. Tatsumi just stared at him, paling slightly, and there was an almost
visible dark cloud gathering over his head.
"How close did you scan them?" he demanded.
"Uhm..."
"Watari!"
Watari ducked his head between his shoulders. "I discovered it by accident,
Tatsumi," he hurried to add. "I wasn't planning on doing anything with
it! It was just something... well... a by-product, you know. Like a lot
of things. Like the Key. Wormholes are so interesting and when I heard
from Tsuzuki that they started appearing randomly in GensouKai, I wanted
to understand why. And it was in my free time, too!"
Tatsumi almost growled, blue eyes flashing. Tsuzuki laid a hand on his
friend's arm.
"You can find out where Terazuma is?" he asked.
"I can tell what route he took. The Key is his exit, the lion his entry
point. The Key enables him to leave, the lion takes him along on the ride
and delivers him to Meifu. I can discover his heading and what other realm
was close. He might have ended up there. Realms are like gravitational
holes in space. When he got separated, he was probably pulled to the closest
realm." Watari beamed, though his eyes were still filled with a little
fear as he looked at his lover, who happened to be his boss, too.
"Do it," Tatsumi just ordered.
Watari nodded and set to work. Tsuzuki leaned against the wall, face
uncharacteristically serious. Opening the link to Touda, he let his friend
know what was happening on their side and getting an update on GensouKai.
