Hijiri panted so hard that he thought that he might throw up as his hand reached out for the edge above him. `I m almost there… just a little father' he thought and used his last bit of strength to pull himself up. Just as he was available to place his elbow over the edge, he slipped and fell a few meters before regaining his hold. `I can't fall now, but that as sure close' he growled at himself and started to climb again. `I hope Tsuzuki is alright'

Tatsumi shivered as the huge gates closed behind him. He looked around in the darkness and moved closer to the blond beside him. “It is sure dark here…” he said and held Watari's hand.

Watari smiled and squeezed the hand that held his. “It's alright, Tatsumi-san. there is nothing to fear here except Banok the soul guider and he is really just a big pup” he smiled.

 

“So, it's you again? I though I sent you and that amethyst eyed angel to earth” a rumbling voice was heard.

 

Watari looked around and spotted the demonic dog that sat a few yards away from them. He tugged on Tatsumi's hand and dragged him over to Banok. “Yes, it's me. Still grumpy for earlier?” he asked, showing no fear for the demonic creature.

 

Tatsumi looked at the demon with huge eyes before looking at his love. “You have seen him before?” he asked.

 

Watari nodded. “Yapp. Remember when you and I had that huge argument over the secret you had kept from me? Well, afterwards I went here and demanded that Banok would send me to earth so I could rescue Tsuzuki… but it turned out that Tsuzuki wanted to stay so that he could save Hisoka… and you know the rest” he said. He looked back to Banok. “He sent me once, he can send us to earth again”

 

Banok wrinkled his nose and bared his long fangs. “Why should I send you to earth? You manage to get back without passing this path so why can't you go there with out my help?” he asked. “I told Tsuzuki that he would only be allowed back if he figured out the meaning of life but he still came back”

 

“And he went back again! The only reason we managed to get back home is because Tatsumi used most of his power to open a temporarily portal so get us home. Please, Banok, send us to earth. It doesn't matter if we can't get back since we are on the wrong foot with the high ones…”

 

Banok lifted his head. “You have gone against the high ones? I have been here for many years and I know most of the things that happens in the heavens… but never have I heard about angels that go against the high ones. Alright. I'll send you there”

 

Tatsumi blinked. He had thought that this demon dog would laugh at them and make sure that they never got to earth. He adjusted his glasses and tilted his head a little to the side. “Is there a catch?”

 

Banok nodded once. “If you ever wish to return, one of you or Tsuzuki, must figure out the meaning of life” He looked at Watari. “And before you open your mouth, angel, I know that there are millions of reasons to live but you have to figure out the meaning of YOUR life”

 

Watari nodded. “I agree on your terms”

 

Tatsumi smiled. “So do I”

 

Banok grinned, white fangs gleaming in the dim light. “Then pack your belongings, you are going to earth” he said and the world went white for the two angels.

Hijiri panted as he sat against a rock to regain his breath. When he finally had managed to get over the edge he had been so worn out that he couldn't stand up. Opening one eye he looked down a spotted a large red spot on his pants. He frowned and reached out but as soon as he touched it he drew his hand back. “Ouch! When did I hurt myself?” he asked himself and gently drew the fabric away from the wound. It didn't look that bad, but it was bleeding slightly and a huge bruise surrounded it. “Must have been when I fell” he said to himself and used the rock to get up. He noted that he could walk on his leg but it hurt slightly when he put all his weight on it.

 

The wind picked up and tore at the teen's cloths. Hijiri turned his back so that it was facing the wind. He looked around himself. `I need to find the temple or I'll get blown from this mountain and I did NOT climb all this way just to land on my butt on the ground below!'

 

The mountain reached high into the air and Hijiri was only halfway up. The emerald eyes scanned the rock wall and saw something that stuck out like a sore thumb. “Stairs? There are stairs? And I just…” he looked down the way he had came and then looked at the stairs. “If I wasn't in a hurry I would bang my head against a rock…”

Tsuzuki stared at the teen before him. He couldn't believe his eyes. “Hisoka… is it really you?” he asked. He ignored the laughing Slowaks and their lord that stood by his throne. His amethyst eyes were fixed on the blond before him.

 

Hisoka grinned at him, his emerald eyes gleaming in the light. “Yes, it's me, Tsuzuki. The very boy you lied to” he said and stroked Tsuzuki's cheek. “Why did I ever jump before you to save your miserable life?” he asked.

 

Tsuzuki swallowed and shook his head. He stood up and glared at the smirking devil. “You think that you can fool me? Do you think that you can make me believe that this is Hisoka?!” he snapped, a white/blue light surrounding his body.

 

He devil chuckled and walked over to the two. “I never thought that you are dumb but I'll let you in on a secret” he said and ran one clawed hand through the golden locks of the teen. “To create this little beauty, I had to use one soul I have stolen earlier and guess what… I used your lovers soul to recreate him to fit my needs!” he laughed when Tsuzuki's face went from pure anger to shock.

 

Hisoka smiled and grabbed one of Tsuzuki's hands and placed them over his heart. “Can't you feel my heart beating? Can you really kill me again?” he asked and tilted his head up.

“Can you?”

 

Tsuzuki yanked his hand back. He didn't know if he could believe what he was told but Hisoka had been right. He had felt a heart beat in there. `It's a lie, but is it really? I m so confused!'

 

The devil snapped his fingers and a dark shadow moved to stand behind him. “While I was at it, I created another little doll” he said and moved to the side to revile a tall man.

 

Hisoka smiled as an arm warped around his waist and he rested his head against the taller man's chest. “Do we look cute together, Tsuzuki? He did after all treat me better then you” he purred.

 

Tsuzuki took a step back as he saw who the person was. “Muraki?! You recreated Muraki?! You sick bastard!” he growled. He couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart as Muraki kissed Hisoka's cheek.

 

Muraki looked at hi, with his silver eye. “What's wrong, Tsuzuki-san? You don't look so well” he said and rubbed the small waits before him. “What do you say, should we cheer him up, my doll?” he asked.

 

Hisoka looked at him and shook his head. “I say we kill him and end his misery all together”

Muraki and Hisoka looked at the white winged angel. They separated and started to walk forwards him.

 

The devil sat back on his throne and smirked. “You better hurry, my dolls. The portal to the underworld will open in five minutes”

 

Tsuzuki frowned and spread his wings, preparing for battle.

“This so much easier then climbing” Hijiri sighed as he reached the end of the stairs. He looked down and nodded. “I think that Tsuzuki would be proud over me” he smiled. Turning back around he spotted what he had been looking for.

 

The temple was carved from the mountain and it was huge, covering the whole side of the mountain. Huge, broad stairs led to a huge stone gate. Around the gate there was a frame in pure gold that looked like a snake who's tail curled around a small sign.

 

Hijiri walked up the stair and went over to the sign. He noted the fine letters made in gold. “'To enter my temple, say your status'” I wonder what that means” Hijiri said and rubbed his chin. “Must be my angel status… well, I m a soul checker” he said and waited for something to happen.

 

The small letters on the sign lightened up and a loud rumble was heard. Hijiri backed one step and looked around him. “What is going…?!”

 

`YOU PASS'

 

“What?! AHH!!” Hijiri exclaimed when the ground suddenly vanished under him and he fell into a shaft and slid along the flat surface. “What is it with gods and falling?!” he cried as he reached the end of the shaft and tumbled out in a huge room. He had to get back on his feet since his wings had warped around him to protect him. He grabbed his wounded leg as he was reminded of the wound. “Ow”

 

`WHO HAS ENTERED MY DOMAINS? I DEMAND A ANSWER'

 

Hijiri yipped when he heard the booming voice again. He twisted this way and that but couldn't see anyone. “Where are you? I can't see you!” he called. He never stopped looking around. The last thing he needed was to be attacked from behind.

 

`I M HERE. YOU MUST BE REALLY DESPERATE TO CLIMB MY MOUNTAIN'

 

Hijiri could feel every hair on his body stand on end. “Show yourself!”

 

`WHY SHOULD I TAKE ORDERS FROM A LITTLE KID LIKE YOU? I M THE KING OF THE GODS AFTER ALL'

 

Hijiri could feel a hot breath in his back and whirled around only to yelp and fall flat on his ass. A huge head tilted to look at him the right way. “You are Tohda? The king of the gods?” Hijiri asked.

 

He looked up and saw that the great god had a body like a snake and hovered in the ceiling. Tohda's long mane stuck out from under his helmet and red eyes were stuck on the teen on the floor. `I KNOW WHY YOU HAVE COME AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT YOU ONLY WASTED YOUR TIME'

 

Hijiri stood up and brushed the dirt from his pants. He winched when the wound reminded him of it. He looked up and frowned. “It is never a waste of time when you try to help a friend!” he snapped. Something told him that he could talk the god into to help him. He needed to convince him.

 

Tohda snorted and leaned closer to the teen. He looked down and saw the bracelets Byakko had given him. `WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE?'

 

Hijiri looked down at the bracelets and frowned. “Byakko gave them to me and Tsuzuki. He and Suzaku is helping Tsuzuki right now”

 

Tohda growled and a small flame burst out before Hijiri's eyes. The gigantic fire snake rose into the air and roared.

 

Hijiri took one step back just as Tohda attacked him.
