Chapter 63- Everyone must go to hell!

After a brief conversation, they enter the big, dimly lit room. Enma Daioh is on his throne, and stares at everyone below him;

-The day has come ... Kurama and Yomi, take two steps forward, NOW!

Yomi and Kurama move away from each other. Enma Daioh's speech is severe, but they already imagine that all this is another small test;

-Kurama, you know you're willing to do something that could violate our laws at Reikai, but as a compensation, you agreed to undergo one more test.

-Yes, Mr. Enma Daioh! I'll undergo as in many tests as needed, I promise you I'll pass!- Kurama replies, determined.
-Very well. Yomi, you have undergone an adaptation process on Earth. You worked hard and managed to change yourself, just like your son, who needs attention sometimes.
-Yes, Mr. Enma Daioh.- Yomi replies.

Enma Daioh reflects for a while, and stares at Yomi:

-You have to go to hell.- Enma says sharply.
-What??? - Koenma and Botan are astonished .- But he did everything right, why??

Yomi is shocked;

-No... NO!- He cries.

Kurama embraces him in tears;

-We will be together no matter what happens…

Enma looks at both mercilessly;

-The damage Yomi did in the past is greater than the good he did after he went to Earth. -Enma is emphatic.

Koenma stands in front of Yomi, facing her father;

-But you cannot do that, you cannot step back! You are ignoring all the work he and the entire Reikai had been done! -Koenma points out.
-Shut up, Koenma, you have no authority over this matter AT ALL. I'm the one who decides one's destiny!
-But I own the stamp, father, and I refuse to send him to hell! If you keep this position, you shall fire me! I will not obey you because your decision is utterly immoral!

Enma Daioh, despite his power, cannot fire his own son. Koenma is a counterweight to his decisions if he is wrong, which seems pertinent now;

-You can't fire yourself, Koenma. I control you!
-Bollocks! I know you want to fool me and satisfy a personal will. Tell us, you hate Yomi!

Botan is amazed. She had never seen Koenma being so brave before;

-Personal will? I have nothing to lose, Yomi is for me a soul like any other, a grain of sand on a beach. I am giving the correct judgment because he is evil and will always be bad!
-Stop it, Dad! You faced me. You faced Botan. You have faced this whole world now! You have faced Kurama, who knows Yomi deeper than you and can state categorically that you are wrong!

Kurama holds his tears, and turns to Enma Daioh;

-It's true, Mr. Enma, reconsider your decision. Yomi does not deserve to go to hell. And you know how I know him, and I've even been his enemy once.

Enma Daioh is demoralized;

-Why are you trying to change my mind? What do you have to lose? Yomi is nothing more than someone close. How many lives did he take in the past?
-He's my friend, and that matters. You should worry about how many he saved, in the Maikai there was no choice, it was living or dying! And for the effort he has made, he does deserve forgiveness. And if Yomi goes to hell for it, I shall go with him.- Kurama goes ahead Yomi.
-Then I have no choice. Kurama, Botan, Yomi and .. son. You all shall go to hell now!
-Hold on, Dad, stop it! I made a video report, and I'll force you to watch it!- Koenma takes off the pacifier, loading the Mafuukan.
-Haha, that's bold! You're too rebellious, Koenma. I order you to follow my orders and go to hell now. Mukuro is certainly waiting for Yomi!

Koenma fires the Mafuukan, sealing the entire Reikai temple. Enma Daioh, despite the power he has, cannot contain or dispel the Mafuukan;

-But... but you sealed the temple!!! Stop it, Koenma, I'm ordering!
-And I'm ordering you to watch my report. If you simply refuse, this temple will be permanently sealed!

Koenma was not kidding. Once he polarized the energy of the Mafuukan, nothing could break the barrier, and the temple of Reikai would be sealed for eternity, which would cause chaos in the spirit world. Having no alternative, Enma Daioh steps back and agrees to watch Koenma's report;

-Alright, let's watch this shit... There's no way out...

Koenma stops the Mafuukan;

-Very well. And pay close attention, because if you get a result other than the fair one, I'll use Mafuukan again.

Koenma goes to the video and puts the tape;

-Well, I recommend everyone to sit on that couch, the video will be very long.
-When did you make it that, Koenma?- Botan asks.
-In the days Yomi and Kurama traveled with you and Byakuya.

It was the turning point for Yomi. His heart was going through a tightening, Enma Daioh's harsh words ached heavily in her soul. Something similar happened to Kurama, but now he seemed more relaxed, hugging Yomi. Botan hugged him as well, in support.
