Chapter 68 - Celebration

The welcoming at home could not be happier. Hoshiyomi replaced Yomi again in the government without being requested to do it. His leadership is always very competent, and that pleases Yomi. Hoshiyomi has had little time with Tsukiyomi lately, but he is feeling good about the challenges he's facing.
The afternoon for him was again very busy. The assertive data of Yomitan's economy, as well as the expansion of its domestic consumer market and the increase in the average income, caused a boom of proposals for commercial agreements and requests for entry by large companies in the city aiming to establish factories and R&D centers.
Yomi and Kurama returned home hand in hand, along with Botan. Both were so happy, and this was very visible in their facial expressions. They entered the building directly, through a portal opened by Botan and Koenma;

-Let's go to our office, Yomi, I imagine that Hoshiyomi must have replaced you during the time we were away.
-Yes, I imagine he has done it!

Yomi and Kurama access the office, and Tsukiyomi is the first to see them, as Hoshiyomi is head down reading a paper. Her first reaction is to smile because she sees on Yomi rare and contagious happiness;

-Hello guys, what happened? - She gets close, smiling.

Kurama and Yomi don't think twice and both hug Tsukiyomi, causing her to dance with them;

-U-huh! We were approved by Enma! We were approved by Enma !!!

Botan and Koenma laugh at that funny scene. Hoshiyomi stops reading the paper and looks at them:

-What excellent news! Kurama and Yomi, you get it! - Hoshiyomi celebrates.

Kurama and Yomi stop dancing with Tsukiyomi and they sat on a couch. Byakuya, who had let Shiori take a bath, enters the room;

-Hey, I heard some noise here, what happened?

Yomi and Kurama repeat what they did with Tsukiyomi, without singing this time;

-Hahaha Yomi, Kurama, what happened to you?

Botan laughs and explains;

-Yeah, Yomi and my lustful fox were approved by my father!
-Wow!!! What excellent news, uh-huh!!! - Byakuya takes a leap.
-Kurama, you still haven't told us about the third test.-Yomi smiles.
-Hahaha I"ll let it for Youko. I was largely unaware of the test.
-So, switch to my lustful fox.- Botan approaches and kisses him on the cheek.

Kurama allows Youko to take control:

-Well, first of all, I'll do something I've been wanting to do since we're in the reikai...
-What would it be? - Yomi smiles.

Youko smiles and goes to Yomi and Byakuya, hugging both, who don't understand the reason for that:

-Youko ... What a brotherly hug, I didn't expect that from you. - Byakuya is surprised.
-It's the sensible thing to do, considering that I cut you in half...
-Seriously? Would you do that here?
-Never! But anyway, I'll tell you what happened.
-Right.

Youko sits on Botan's lap, who hugs him and strokes his ears tenderly:

-It all started with that intense glow from Enma Daioh, who sent me to an illusory hell. There, I met puppets representing Byakuya, Shura and Yomi, who brutally attacked Shuichi, and I then had to strike back. After all, there was a person controlling these puppets, and, Yomi ... it was Mukuro ...
-Hahaha she hates me more than Raizen could ever dream. We don't have a good relationship, even though I'm a more polite guy than him, it won't work. - Yomi smiles.
-Mukuro tried to use them taking advantage of Shuichi's strong feelings when she killed Yomi in my arms to shock him. I was forced to punch him to make him sleep and give me complete control. Without Shuichi's emotional influence, everything was much easier. That's when I went back to my savage origins: Mukuro became my number one enemy, and I felt a duty to eliminate her...
-It must have been a tremendous impact for Shuichi to see Yomi dying... - Botan caresses Youko's hand.
-Yes, but I knew then that particular Yomi was not the real one, but just a puppet. I was shocked at first, but I had to be strict with Shuichi in order to win. I cut Byakuya in half using my rose whip, and I had thrown his remains over Yomi's at a carnivorous plant to eat them while fighting against Mukuro... It was pure sadism.-Youko shrugs his ears.
-I imagine what a heavy experience this was ... Enma was severe, but I didn't count on it. - Yomi caresses Youko's other hand.
-Yes, I had to behave in an extremely cold and sadistic way... When I was chasing Mukuro, Shura tried to attack me and I beheaded him on the spot. In the end, there was only Mukuro left to attack me directly. Her dimensional cutting blow tore off my left arm, but I found that a simple youki barrier was more than enough to withstand her attack. I then rushed forward and landed a powerful punch in her abdomen, throwing her against the ground. The impact destroyed her.
-Wow how strong, my youkai fox! - Botan is amazed.
-I went crazy ... Nothing stopped me, not even Kuronue, who had the same fate as Shura ... After that, I was guided by a bright thing to a totally different place, almost a paradise compared to the dark place where I was. And there, in that small paradise, you were, Botan, beautiful as always ... we kissed and suddenly everything went white ... Then Enma wrote his verdict ...
-It was a heavy test ... It demanded all detachment and cruelty, Enma did it so that you would not pass, because Shuichi would never allow you to kill his friends ... - Yomi reflects.
-Yes, and so I took control, seeing that Shuichi could not continue.
-It was a wise decision, Youko ... But be sure that I will always be on your side, just like everyone here. Now you and Botan can be happy together. - Yomi smiles.
-I will only be really happy if you are close to me too, Yomi ... Fate sealed this condition for us ...
-I will still open my eyes to fleece, Youko...

The condition set by Youko will be easily followed up by Yomi. Both have a certain relationship of dependency. For Botan, the relationship between Yomi and Youko is on the verge of platonic love.
