Chapter 5: On Terms Involving Incarnate Resurrection and Irony

Warning: Be warned…this chapter gets heavy; it is full of drama and description. I would also ask you to read the authors note after the chapter as it pertains to the future of this story. Thank you very much.

Second Warning: Oh and one more thing; leave your religious ranting at the door because if I get so much as ONE "review" (read flame) about belief systems and such because of the way I'm using terms such as Powers (which stands for The Powers That Be) or may integrate creatures like Angels and Demons(which thank you very much are based off of personal beliefs and opinions and I am NOT trying to sway anyone)I will have you reported so fast you'll feel it before you get the actual notice. And you will notice that the way I've got it here fits in quite well with the Spirit World of the YYH world.

*************Let us begin than**************************

Death was not a part of the plan.

Even if asking Koenma for help was about as far as Kurama's final plan had actually gotten, this was definitely not a part of it! When he'd shown up along with his three comrades in arms, and dear friends for retrieval duty, he had almost skipped to the portal. Then he'd discovered the horrible truth about it, the portal was blocked. It was nothing more than an impenetrable window to watch that other world through. To watch Avaria fight in a futile effort for survival against a wave of enemies drudged up from only the gods of that world knew where. No, this train wreck was never part of any plan.

Yet here he stood.

In the toddlers office.

Watching his little sister die.

Even worse was the fact that he, Yoko Kurama, was completely helpless to stop it. The whole scenario had him enraged and terrified, so much so that he was still pounding on that shimmery portal surface. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to him and his watching friends he turned from that unbreakable barrier between worlds, between families…between a life and a death and glared at the little ruler halfway so he could keep one eye on the portal. Even with only half that glare turned towards him Koenma still felt the urge to wet himself; he didn't know things would end up like this either when asked for his assistance.

Koenma had taken his time to grant said assistance, thinking things over rather carefully. In the end it was both for selfish reasons and for friendly ones that he'd helped. No one had ever managed to break a lost cause Case before, and if he could manage to solve one then he would be even more legendary than before. His father may actually be fairly pleased by that outcome; he couldn't let such an opportunity pass him by. They were also, however, all friends now in that group. The situation had turned into a personal case for the entire detective group, retired or not for it was personal to Kurama and that made it something important to the rest of them. But when he began looking into all the options he had not imagined the tragic circumstances that would end it. Talk about a hollow victory.

But, and he was trying to make this very clear so as to avoid a screaming, snarling, death planted end, it was the only way to do this. He had spent several months doing research, having Kurama do research and even enlisting Hiei's services though not without a lot of bribes and begging in the spirit world. Yusuke and Kuwabarra had been given orders to check with all the spiritual sections in the human world, people similar to Genkai with similarly stocked vaults and libraries and minds. The complaints from those two, and the bribes and begging paid off in the end when finally some scraggly old hermit gave them the name of a "lost tome" that was in fact buried deep within the ancient archives of the Spirit world. Oddly enough, Hiei was the one who found it for them, telling Koenma privately and bluntly he wouldn't like what he was going to find.

Avaria had to die.

Hiei was right as usual. Koenma then took it upon himself to keep that information from the three more human of the group, especially Kurama. Then the negotiations began.

As it turned out the very Powers that essentially kidnapped the girl when she was younger to that world were happy to get rid of her. Yet they were also not very willing to part with her without some rules and conditions, the irony of which was not lost on anybody listening to the explanation. She was a very valuable asset, or had been before the Organization she was literally dropped into heading corrupted itself from the inside out, exiled her, bound her and pretty much left her to deal with everything on her own. She was suddenly a troublemaker, not doing what the Powers wanted her to do, and she had gained a rather stout amount of free will (and confusion to go with all the suddenly free thoughts). But she was certainly worthy of some respect. Here the tones Koenma had been speaking in dropped harsh words with a soft voice of sympathy and horror in equal measure.

"It was the only way they would let her go. The only way to get her back whole and fairly undamaged, memories intact." These words were met with several glares…and one quietly sobbing ferry girl in the background who was bearing witness to a veritable lynch mob in motion through the portal alongside the kitsune.

"You can NOT be fucking serious! How in the Hells is THAT" Yusuke jerked a thumb violently towards the window to the horror show. "The only way they could kill her off? How is throwing her to a murderous crowd of monsters respectable? What the fuck is wrong with that universe?"

"So many things Yusuke…but it was the best we could do! They wouldn't agree to anything else! In order to pass easily through the barriers and the voids in between she needs to be in an astral form, and have a body to come back to. In this case her spirit should follow her body without fail. You will be right there to retrieve her body! The very second she begins to pass over the portal will open, I promise you that. I have spent the last several months fighting with the deities of that world and this is the only thing they would agree to!"

"But you said they wanted her gone!" Yusuke did have a valid enough point but the Powers that Be work in mysterious and often crazy, horrible and off kilter ways.

Koenma now was taking deep breaths, not wanting to encourage a screaming match by entering it himself. "Yusuke…" the small prince pinched the bridge of his nose, a sure sign of annoyance but retained his composure. "Seeing as it was They who first abducted her body and soul, it is not so surprising that they had certain conditions to her release, think of it as a ransom for her being. Death is an understandable side effect, considering it won't be permanent but they still have to work within that words less than spiritually friendly parameters and common human belief system." He paused here to take a breath and think of how to continue.

"Was torture part of those conditions?" Kurama spoke suddenly, sneering out the last word with utter contempt, his eyes never wavering from the carnage in the portal but his calm, soft tone giving away just how deadly his current state was.

The fox was beyond pissed at this point having spent the latter half of the explanation watching a hundred pairs of teeth and claws, blades and clubs, whips and chains, arrows and spears and infinite other weapons he had no name for rip into his sisters form. He'd watched silently with fists clenched so tightly the knuckles were beginning to split, as his little sister was swallowed up by a sea of creatures all hell bent on destroying her. She who's aura was so weak he could only tell where she was because he was connected to her, she who had only tooth and claw to fight back with against too many others. She who had no back up coming, no energy reserves to draw on…and an entire universe manipulating the situation so that would not survive. He sent a glance quickly to Koenma who had been silent for some moments since the question, a quick narrowing of the eyes that screamed out "Answer. Me."

"Well…" the prince swallowed hard, he truly feared Kurama at this moment. "Due to all of the, er…experiences of Avaria's life there and in the Makai they felt that certain forms of death were either unworthy of her or purely impossible due to her character and personality. An 'accident' wouldn't work." Koenma had seen Yusuke's question coming a mile away. "Over the years, especially in exile she has grown inherently cautious and suspicious, her intuitive nature only increases this and her Survival skills were honed in the harsh Makai wilderness…." Here Koenma paused, unsure of how to address the next option that had been proposed at the negotiations.

"Suicide was ruled out as well, was it not?" Hiei finally spoke up; knowing no one else in room would have the heart or the balls to voice what they all thought even as Kurama visibly twitched at the mere mention.

"Suicide…was declared unworthy of a warrior such as herself, she has gained some rather high, nearly legendary statuses in some circles due to her ferocity and skill." Koenma was perfectly happy to leave it at that, Kurama however was not.

"No….I made her promise me that she would never take her own life…that's the real reason. She'd never break a promise even in death." Kurama whispered, barely audible to even Botan who'd been standing beside him almost the whole time, having been charged with watching for the moment the portal stood clear and open.

Everyone stared at the poor fox for a moment before quickly glancing anywhere but in that direction.

"Yes…they could not manipulate a situation unless she was already prone to something like it. Thusly a set up for say…a self sacrificing move much like how Yusuke died would have been impossible as well. She would have smelled the falseness of it. The only death good enough, the only death they would agree to no matter how much I argued, was a fight to the death. But please, please believe me…" the prince of the Spirit World pleaded with them all. "I did not know that they would go to such horrible lengths…I would have put a stop to it if I had known. I would have found another way!"

The room went silent then. Everyone was waiting for a reaction, and trying to figure out how they each felt themselves except for maybe Hiei. Hiei was there for support more than to find anything out, he'd been put into a similar situation involving Yukina and even for someone as generally cold and callous, he could relate. The two boys in the room, for that really is what Yusuke and Kuwabarra were, weren't entirely sure on how they felt. It was horrible…but they'd seen time and again how politics got dragged into things and made a small problem a huge mess, all they could do now was offer support in their own ways. And then Kurama took a breath, he turned from the portal, having watched some cretin with fangs and a gaze so dark he could feel it round house Avaria, who was bleeding heavily from a thousand wounds and trying to pull a dagger from her side, right in the temple.

She had crumpled to the dirty ground of the park.

He'd made sure to watch her get back up before turning away.

"I…" he looked so defeated. " If that is the case…then there really was no other way. She is like us…or was. Accidents would never be enough to kill her, suicide would have broken a promise and her nature…but most of all she has the same survival skills, the same sense of self preservation that we all do and while she lacks in energy she would still never go down without a fight." He was slumped forward, a perfect picture of horrified acceptance. "As horrible as it seems…as cruel as it may sound…and yes as true as it is that those deities are probably enjoying her struggle the facts remain that like any of us, it would take far more than one enemy to take her down for good."

In the steady silence that followed this declaration Kurama turned back to the portal, pressing his face and hands against it. He was going to be the first one through; everyone knew that and no one would dare to challenge that right. Botan who had stood silently sobbing the entire time suddenly gave a great, gasping breath, a noise of unintelligible exclamation. Koenma, who had finally chosen his more elegant and eloquent elder form, slumped over to stand beside her, placing an arm gently around her shoulders to offer what little comfort he could. Slowly, the rest of the boys migrated over, all of them thinking the same thing as they watched Avaria's back get ripped away at by what could only be described as a truly demonic thing with a metallic cat o' nine tails like whip. They all shared a wince as that same thought lodged in their brains never leaving them as they watched her get cornered against a chain link fence of a baseball dugout.

She was broken in so many ways, bleeding from so many places. Her aura was nearly gone, barely there and the single eye she had left was black, a cut bleeding over it while they weren't even sure she even still HAD her left eye anymore. Slowly, so very slowly she watched as the faces sneered at her, laughed at her, taunted her. Kurama felt so helpless watching this, his only solace in how she still managed to hold her head up in the face of it all.

The very least he could do was bear witness as Avaria met her death.

************Chapter Fin****************************

Authors Note: I realize that this story may be taking a much unexpected turn from most involving an Original Character. I also realize that the lack of reviews from the previous chapter probably means you were all angry with the turn I have engineered. For those of you who are with me still, you are real troopers. For the new readers, thank you very much for trying out my story. And here is your warning, beginning in this chapter and going into the next there will be some graphic scenes of violence, some most likely confusing twists and turns and explanations, and things may not connect obviously until a little later on. Please bear with me, after my sister's death two months ago and…many other issues I have finally begun writing again, and you will see the hardships mirrored here. Again thank you to everyone who has stuck with me to this point, even if you just began reading.
