Chapter Three: The first rider:

() Ray thoughts

(()) Author babble

During Solo-shinigami's absence, all nine of hells domains had fallen into chaos. When Duo arrived, there was absolutely no order in hell whatsoever.

There was no way around it. He had to go around hell and do it the old fashion way: threaten, scare and blackmail his new kingdoms into submission.

Since chaos had overtaken hell, the nine domains could no longer be separated or defined, so Duo had no choice but to just set out and `hope for the best'.

One of Duo's first stops was what used to be one of the more popular domains for demonic entertainment: Eternal Damnation. (You know, the place mortal books describe as being fiery? Where the `bad people' go?)

Now, I don't know what other books or stories have told you, but Eternal Damnation used to be the only part of hell that was actually on fire. (Though, technically it's not `on fire', its just covered in eternally burning flames)

Well, anyway, back to the point. When Duo first arrived, the sight that met his eyes was slightly disappointing.

" Aww, man! I thought I was gonna get to kick some demon but, or at least try out my new scythe!" Duo wined to no-one inpaticular, and he picked his way through the smouldering domain. Much to Duo's displeasure, this particular domain was beginning to lose its chaotic air. Slightly surprised, and feeling very put out, Duo picked his way across the domain, towards the centre of the domain, to see who had `spoiled his fun', as he so maturely put it. (You'd think that he was ten the way he talks, not 500!) (( he still looks fifteen though))

Duo reached the centre of the domain, cursing every deity he could think of for making both hair and cloaks flammable. That was when he saw him. He looked to be about the same age as Duo, and was about the same height as well. He has short, messy brown hair, and the most stunning eyes Duo had ever seen, a deep Prussian blue colour. " Wow, he's SO HOT!" Duo thought-erm, drooled out loud, much to his embarrassment. " Although, his fashion sense has something to be desired for, the guys got the hottest body EVER!" The other demon was wearing a dark green tank top, black spandex bicycle shorts, and yellow trainers. A pair of dark green and black wings sprouted from his back; a dark green devil-tail swished dangerously at his side. A black and silver sword hung by his side, dripping in an unknown substance (blood, I think. Though, I don't really want to ask the guy. He sorta scares me!)

The other demon seemed deep in thought. He was muttering something angrily under his breath; apparently he hadn't noticed the presence of another demon yet.

" Hi! My name's Duo, Duo Max-erm, Duo-shinigami, but you can call me Duo!" Duo happily bounced over to the other youth, smiling at the other demon, offering him his hand.

" Um, hello? Anyone in there? CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Duo shouted, waving his hand in front of the stotic demon that was still muttering to himself, not even acknowledging the other demons presence.

As Duo waved his hand in front of the other youths face, the Stony-faced boy's passive look disappeared to be replaced by one first of shock, then horror, before flickering to suspicious and back to a passive, but slightly angry looking mask that had previously covered his features. A hand shot out, grabbing Duo's slowly retreating wrist.

Twisting his wrist back in a painfully tight grip, the boy calmly commanded in a lifeless monotone " Who are you, and what are you doing here? I thought I had gotten rid of the last of Enma's troops. How did you sneak up on me like that?"

Thourally confused and in pain, Duo intelligently replied

" Huh? Wha?"

The demon repeated himself again, in the same cold, lifeless monotone as he had used before.

" I Already TOLD YOU!!!" Duo sighed, " Remember, I'm Duo? The new Shinigami? Are you ok, man? Did you hit your head or something? " Duo babbled at the stunned boy.

HE is the new shinigami? How can this be?! Was all he could think. Suddenly he noticed that this strange demon, Duo, had stopped his mindless babble, and was staring at him expectantly.

" What?"

" Hell to Demon! Would ya mind letting go of my wrist before you snap it off? Thank you! What's your name?" Duo happily asked, rubbing his rapidly brusing wrist.

"Hn. Heero."

"Wow! It has a name! Hiya! Nice ta meet ya!!!"

Silence.

...

" Umm, by any chance, do you know what happened here? I was told this place was full of demons and Enma's minions, and, erm, stuff." Duo finished lamely.

"Targets have been eliminated." The cold monotone replied.

"Huh? Wha? You-" Duo stuttered, speechless (well, as close as he'll ever get)

"Hai"

.........silence............

"HOW COULD YOU?!!!" Duo exploded, making Heero jump back in surprise.

"Wha-"" They were meant to be MINE! I'm the new shinigami, I WANTED TO DO IT!!!" Duo cried, adding "Not fair! I haven't even been able to try my new scythe out yet!"

*sigh*

"Oh, well, I'll have ta wait a bit to try out my new toy. Hmm, I thought I heard a demon say something about panic and despair near the river of souls..." Duo mumbled, forgetting about Heero for a moment. Turning to leave, he suddenly remembered the stotic boy behind him.

"Oh, yea, I almost forgot! How did you get rid of all the demons and minions and stuff?"

"Fire"

"Fire?"

"Hai"

" You are just sooooo helpful, ya know?" Duo sarcastically told him, half-heartedly glaring.

" Anyway, even if you aren't the most talkative or descriptive demon in hell, and even though I'm probably gonna regret this later," Duo paused, sighed, and continued, " I think you should head to hell's old capital, Hades'. The lesser demons there will be able to explain stuff better than I can. They'll know what happened here by the time you arrive. See ya later, ok Heeeeeero!!! Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Duo bounced off, leaving a slightly stunned, confused and amazed demon behind.

"Hn. He is meant to be the next shinigami? I cannot allow this to happen."

"Mission excepted. Prevent this Duo from taking over hell at all costs, until further information is available, head to Hades'".
