Chapter 2- The Mission

I passed thru the door along with Yasuharu with Yuri slightly ahead. We passed thru the door, and suddenly, we were in the sky. "Holy shit! We're gonna die!" I shouted.

"What're you talking about? You're technically dead kid. You can't die again." Yasuharu turned and smiled at me.

"Will you stop the me being dead thing! And I'm not a kid!" I shouted at him.

"You look like a kid. So maybe you are one." Yuri said smiling.

"Your younger than me!" I yelled.

"In appearance yes yes, but I'm actually over 500 years old." she returned, her smile still there. I just stared at her.

"Hey kid! You said you know what I meant by Guardian, right?" Yasuharu asked.

"Who doesn't know the legend of the Hogasha?" I asked.

"So they've changed the name have they?" Yasuharu asked.

"Apparently. The legend of Hogasha says that there was a battle long ago. An army of Shinigami, or death gods escaped the underworld, and started reeking havoc on the world. The Hogasha were sent to stop the Shinigami from gaining more power. The Hogasha were clearly outnumbered by the Shinigami threat. So the strongest of the Hogasha decided to sacrifice himself and his powers in order to defeat the threat. However, even though his magic was great, he wasn't enough to completely defeat them, only seal them into an isolated dimension. That's probably the simplest form of the tale. And judging from what you've said, I'm guessing they've escaped, and we've been told to round them up." I concluded.

"Incredible. You managed to not accurately tell the tale of the Hogasha, but also to deduce what was going on. Its a good thing your coming with kid." he smiled at me.

"I'm not a-! Oh never mind." I sighed.

"If you know the tale of the Shinigami Hogasha War, then you must know that the Shinigami can also take control of people." Yasuharu stated.

"You left something out Haru!" Yuri chirped at him.

"I know he did. He left out the part about how that person has to be willing to come with them." I added.

"Very good! Now we need to get going kid, or else this problem is gonna tun into another war." he grabbed our wrists again and we lunged towards the planet.

"This won't end well will it?" I asked.

"Probably not." said Yuri.

"Relax! Since we're technically dead, we can't get hurt! Unless by something magical." Yasuharu continued.

"I hate you." I said blandly. We soon met the ground with what sounded like a large bang. "You idiots! You trying to tell the world we're here?!" I shouted. Soon the smoke cleared, to reveal the same two people I met before, but different.

"Relax! No one heard us! Now let's get going!" both of them looked exactly the same, only they lost their wings. "Now here." He handed me some weird bracelet made of some gem I've never seen before.

"Whats this?" I asked, a confused look on my face.

"We'll explain that later, now come on! You have a part to go to!" Yuri cheered happily. I looked around and saw we were back in my humble abode.

"What in the world?" I thought out loud.

"Since technically no one knows your dead kid, your gonna resume your life where it as cut, preparing for a party, and waiting for your guests to arrive." Yasuharu explained. "Now put on that thing the same way were wearing it." both of them held up there right wrist. They had the beads wrapped around the wrist three times and then a final loop was placed around the middle finger.

"Alright." I did as I was told, and wrapped it around my wrist and around my finger. There was a knock at the door.

"Looks like, the party's gonna begin kid." Yasuharu stated.

"Yay! Isn't this gonna be great Haru?!" she sang happily at him. Yasuharu's eye twitched. I merely chuckled to myself and headed for the door.
