"They are just illusions little Battosai." I say.

"Little... illusions." He repeats.

"Yes, good. This is Hell for a reason." I say.

"Hell... is forever." He repeats.

I let my hand fall. I pull my hand back. He just stares at me. I point to the high pillars.

"Start walking Battosai. I will catch up shortly." I say. 

"Okay... you will catch up shortly." He says.

"Go now." I point.

"Kenshin!" Karou screams.

"Kenshin!" Sano yells.

"Wait!" Karou runs after him.

I grab her hair.

"Not so fast." I pick her up.

He turns once more.

"Do not worry Battosai. I will soon catch up to you." I say.

He nods and starts walking. I let out a breath. My spell over him is growing stronger everlasting. One last gate and I shall be free from his clutches. I've said it is an honor and while it is, the candle is burning. But... there is more of a pressing matter at hand. My eyes flare in anger.

"What in the Seven Sins are you all doing here? It's not your time." I say.

"My fault." I hear.

I lift my head up.

"Sorry old timer." The angel falls to the ground.

"You have some nerve to come down here angel." I spit.

"We came here to save Kenshin from bastards like you!" Sano yells.

I let out a small chuckle.

"Save him? Save him? Child of Stupidity, there is no need for saving. He's down here for a reason." I say.

"And quite an honorable one at that." The angel says.

"Leave now! Turn back!" I yell.

"No! We won't! Not until we get Kenshin." Karou says.

"How many times do the angel and I have to nail it into your pathetic brain? He's dead. He's rotting in Hell for a reason." I poke her head with my staff.

"You can't do that!" Megumi yells.

"Actually, I can." I say.

"This is Hell." The angel points out.

"Let Kenshin go!" Karou yells.

"Silence!" I yell.

I slam my staff into the ground. Soldiers of stone and iron crawl out. I hear them scream. Yahiko and Sano charge head on. Humans... they're so... much like grubs. They always try to help and pry into business that no longer concerns them.
