Chapter 014

"Yes.. anything to bring her back." Youvin finally said as he looked at his beloved.

"Once you say yes.." Emi's eyes turned sinister as she gripped on the neck of the plushie that looked like Kara, “ There is no turning back.. “

“I understand.. please…give me back my Kara.” Youvin yelled out realizing the connection between the Death’s doll that looked like Kara, and Kara’s soul. He could not bear to lose her again
and after being betrayed by Ane, he didn’t want to take anymore chances. In his heart he had already decided who his two sacrifices were to be.

Emi hopped out of her seat, the three other plushies flew into her hand and the tea party like atmosphere disappeared and the two were swallowed up into darkness and re-appeared back at Youvin’s home where the two lovers were still having a pleasant meal.

“What the?!?!?!?” Aaron yelled out as pulled out his sword, jumping in front Ane who was cowering behind her lover.

“Please…” Emi said as she roller her eyes and replaced the little toy sword his look alike doll had in her hand with a snake.

“ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Aaron screamed as his sword during into a viper, throwing it down and hiding behind Ane.

“And you say this is your manly man? Even scared of a twig?” Emi scoffed.

“Shut up..” he yelled from behind Ane,” How did you turn.. “ he came out to point out at the viper.. but it had indeed turn into a twig.

“Enough… “ as she waved her hand causing the room to morph and turn into what looked like a little girl’s room surrounded by plushies, “Now take a seat the trial is beginning”

As she said that chairs and a desk appeared in front of Aaron and Ane as well as in front of Kara and Youvin. To the left of Kara a bench appeared and became occupied by 12 teddy bears skipping in line, reaching up to Emi bowing to her and then finding their seats pulling out a pad and pencil.

Another teddy bear holding a book walked up to Emi who was seated behind a podium, bowed to her, turned around and began to speak terrifying the adulterous couple, “The trial of Youvin vs. Ane has begun with Emi chan as the Judge and executioner and overseen by the honorable 12. All you say will here by be recorded and may be used against you at Emi chan’s discretion.”

After saying that the teddy bear skipped to his little desk on top of Emi’s podium.

“What the hell is going on here? Who is this psycho little girl and ..” Aaron began to yell out as he threw his chair to the side.

The teddy bear stood up from his desk and jumped in front of Aaron and Ane as Emi watched as she was licking her lollipop.

“ Aaron Lee, please refrain from yelling before Emi chan and please take a seat. Any further interruption and I will be forced to take action upon you” as he bowed.

Aaron picked up the teddy bear and scoffed throwing it aside and taking Ane’s hand, “This is all stupid, come on let’s go”

As the two started to walk away, Emi leaned forward, “ And might I ask where you are going? Or better yet do you even know where you are? Ane .. he isn’t the brightest of the bunch is he?”

“Shut up you psycho doll !!! Get us the hell out of here NOW!!!”

“My .. my.. so rude too.. “ Emi turned to Youvin, “ It is a good thing you are well mannered Youvin because if you weren’t you would be meeting the same fate as him.”

Before Youvin could respond, Kara covered his eyes, “And as for the way out you have to ask Cerberus… ”

“Well where can I find this Cerberus!”

With a sinister smile, Emi nodded and pointed her nose forward.

Confused, “Well where the hell is he?” Aaron said irritated.

“I asked politely for you to please obey the rules dictated by Emi chan” the teddy bear said as it faced Aaron and Ane, “ You, did not heed my warning, now, I, Cerberus must punish you.”

“What is some stuffed doll going to do to me” Aaron laughed as he turned towards Emi, “If this is all you got… you might as well tell me how to get out of this place before I hurt you”

But his cockiness soon turned into fear as he heard Ane scream and notice a shadow being cast over him. Aaron turned around to come face to face with not the small black teddy bear, but a giant fearsome beast with three heads and flames coming from his eyes. His fangs gleamed reflecting the light of the flames, his claws dug deep into the ground with each step causing a tremor.

“I, Cerberus, the guardian to the gate way of hell will destroy you for your insolence” the once adorable teddy bear said with a thunderous roar causing the ground to shake. Ane fainted and Aaron fell to the ground then turned to Emi with fear in his eyes.

“Now.. what were you saying…” Emi said as she laughed and the surroundings changed once more, to the gateway of underworld with flames shooting from the ground. The teddy bears and other stuffed dolls turned into hideous, demonic creatures all hissing at Aaron as Cerberus began to crush Aaron.

“Please!!! Forgive me… I didn’t mean it … PLEASE!!!” Aaron pleaded as tears rolled down his eyes from the pain of his bones being slowly crushed.

“Mortals… have to see the darker side of things before they fear death.. I’ll spare you this time.. “

“Oh thank you .. thank you”

“But…. Cerberus.. won’t without an exchange.. usually it is three.. but since we are running on a schedule.. just devour an arm and we will call it even now, “ Emi said as she appeared floating next to Cerberus petting its head, “FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFLUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYYYYYYY… is that ok?”

Cerberus began to whimper as it backed off of Aaron, “But Emi chan… Fluffy is hungry.. and he threatened Emi chan..”

“Aww Fluffy” Emi smiled and gave it a hug, “If you be a good little puppy.. I’ll bake you a batch of cookies ok ? Please?”

“Ok” Cerberus barked happily wagging its tail at the promise of cookies, but then turned sinister looking once more taking notice of Aaron slowly crawling away. Cerberus pounced and quickly took off Aaron’s left arm swallowing it effortlessly.

“I take it that there wont be anymore interruptions.. “ Emi said floating back to her seat, “Lets resume” and with saying that the room returned to its overly childish façade.

“Ane…” Emi said sweetly and then once again more annoyed throwing a lollipop hitting her square in the face “Ane!!!!!!!!!!!”

“ Owww… Yes… “ Ane whimpered as she rubbed her nose.

“You have betrayed your husband’s love and committed infidelity. You have two choices… one.. I place judgment in which you will die and fall into the depths of hell feeling nothing but pain and despair .. yada yada yada .. you’ll be told the rest during orientation… or “

“Or???” Ane said with a bit of hope that she may have a kinder fate than her crippled lover .

“Or you can choose to have Youvin lay judgment. But remember once you choose one, you cannot turn back. So what will it be.. a first class pass from yours truly to the depths of hell or have your fate rest on the shoulders of the man you betrayed? What will it be?”

Ane looked at Emi, whose smile though sweet hid an evil mind and then at her once beloved Youvin who could only watch with a sad look on his face while being comforted by the spirit of his first true love. He is gullible.. stupid.. and in love with me.. he will forgive me in a heart beat.. hahah time to cheat death.. , “I choose to have Youvin lay judgment on me since he was the one that I hurt. I am sorry Youvin that I betrayed you.. I know you loved me with all your heart but I still hurt you.. please forgive me”

“So from that tear jerking confession… you choose to have Youvin lay judgment… are you sure? “

“Yes..”

“I will ask one last time… Do you Ane decide for Youvin to decide your fate as well as the fate of your lover? “ Emi said with a grin from ear to ear gripping onto the two plushies resembling the two.

“Yes!! I know his kind and gentle heart will lead him to forgive us.” She said with tears streaming from her eyes thinking to herself, my acting is the best in the kingdom.. even death won’t be able to see through it haha Aaron and I are safe.. Well.. he has lost an arm already.. pathetic.. well there is always Jacob…

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH” Emi began to laugh maniacally and she pulled out two daggers and pierced them through the chest of the two plushies, “Your contract has been completed Youvin, I hereby return you Kara in exchange for the souls of Ane and Aaron”

“What?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!” Ane screamed as both she and Aaron burst into flames, “But you said … YOUVIN !!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!”
Youvin with Kara in his arms watched heartlessly as his former wife and her lover burned and were dragged away by Cerberus. He looked up to Emi who was still laughing with pure evil reflected in her eyes and bowed, “ I thank you avenging me and returning Kara to me.. May I please leave now.”

Emi finally snapped out of her trance and waved, “Ok may you two be happy happy together now, just take that door and it will lead you to the mortal world. “

Youvin hand in hand with Kara bowed once more and headed toward the door, but then were called back by Emi who had just received a message from one of her teddy bears and burst into another sinister laugh, “My my my… I am so busy today.. I better get a present from grandfather for taking over his duties today.. hmm Youvin..”

“Yes.. “

“It seems that our business is not finished yet.” Emi said as she looked up from the note and revealed two more plushies one resembling Youvin, the other Kara.

“NO!!! What is the meaning of this?!?!?!? You already took Ane and Aaron as your sacrifice?!?!?” Youvin said in terror as he and Kara turned and began to run toward the door, but fell gripping to their chest, “You lied…”

“Death does not lie, does not judge, does not play favorites.. it is the only thing free from emotional bias… it is the balance to good and evil.” Emi said as she continued to slowly pierce the two plushies in the chest, “ You, dear Youvin… to bring back the love of your life.. chose to go against the destiny… and in doing so offered the souls of two innocent people.”

“ They weren’t innocent !!!! SHE BETRAYED ME!!!”

“ Yes she betrayed you, but innocent in a sense that it was not her time to die yet.. So to return the balance.. you must die to atone for offering her to me.” Emi said coolly as she pulled out the dagger from Youvin’s plushie offering little relief and then plunging it in once more.

“ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Youvin screamed in pain, “ WHAT ABOUT KARA?!?!??! WHY MUST SHE DIE AGAIN?!?!”

“Two reasons.. one because you offered me Ane and Aaron, so another must pay. Secondly.. her soul can never return to the mortal world… do you want to know why?” Emi said as she walked up to Youvin and laid down close to his ear and whispered, “Because she offered her soul to stay in the underworld forever in order to save you from drowning when you two ran away from home 15 years ago… I guess I should have told you that before hand huh?”

“She, too was given a choice that night .. save herself and let you die or sacrifice herself to save you.. She chose the later because she truly loved you with all her heart.” Emi said standing over him and finally ready to finish him off, “Being willing to sacrifice yourself for the one you care for most is the sign of true love.. not your useless bobbles or sacrificing others..”

She took one last look at his lifeless body as his spirit parted from it looking at her with great remorse, “Now you know that..” as she watched Kara take Youvin’s hand and guide him away to the stream of other spirits.

Just as Emi was about ready to make her way to the door leading to the mortal world she notices someone blocking the door, applauding, “Well done … well done.. “

Emi looked at the individual with an annoyed looked, “ Get out of the way Yehsung oppa, I’m done with my duties here, I need to go back.”

Yehsung smiled and moved away for Emi to reach for the door but then closed it and pinned her to the door, “But , not all of your duties have been complete yet little girl” as he leaned in very close to her.

“Back off oppa or I’ll tell grandfather or better yet let fluffy eat you” She said with a smile and then stomped on his foot.

“Well.. fluffy as you call him now.. do you remember who gave him to you as a birthday present hmm.. and regarding your grandfather… you know he approves me to be his grandson in law so… “
“Well I DON’T APPROVE” Emi yelled as she pushed him out of the way and tried once again for the door only to see Yehsung’s others compatriots block it and surround her.

“Emi chan… why won’t you just accept it.. our families want us together.. I love you.. you aren’t seeing anyone else.. we are a perfect match.”

“Like I told you before.. you do not meet my requirements for who I think would be a suitable partner so bleh” She said as she stuck out her tongue at him.

“But weren’t you just spouting comments about true love, sacrifice and junk.. why won’t you give me a chance to show you that I would be willing to do anything..” Yehsung said as he slowly backed away into the darkness while Shindong and Ryeowook escorted Emi to a chair and followed Yehsung.

“God …” Emi said as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, “ Why doesn’t he get the hint, he isn’t the one for me.”

“Cuz Emi… “ Yehsung appeared from the shadows followed by his twelve brothers, all dressed in black with a single red rose in hand all kneeling before her.

“ Cuz… I can’t stop thinking about you girl.” Yehsung said sweetly with a wink taking her hand, giving it a kiss as his brothers stood up and started to harmonize.

Emi accepted the flower with a shocked look on her face as Yehsung smiled and walked back and was surrounded by his brothers.

Noreul cheom boge dweossuh nol wonhaji anhko gyondilsooga isseulgga HEY
Siwon started to sing as they revealed Yehsung who had strategically placed a pillow to make up for what she had always claimed he was lacking which caused Emi to burst into laughter.

Geurohke chyuhdabojima nowaui GAMEeul ajik shijakanhaessuh
Naegesuh TAROT jomeul bwa noui eesanghyung chajabwa joolteni
Geu namjaga naega dwege haejoolteni

When Emi looked at the others, they too has equipped themselves with the same accessory as their brother, “OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS HAHAHAHAHAHAH, they’ve gone mad “ and yet even though she said that, Emi could not take her eyes away.

cuz I can't stop thinking 'bout u girl
Nol naekkuhro mandeulggoya

The 13 with a combination of sexy moves and under stupidity continued to help their brother swoon the only girl that got away from him, each taking turns to provide their unique talents in this mission impossible.

No I can't stop thinking 'bout U girl
Nae woori ane gadoogo shipo

Emi tried her best not to show her emotion but couldn’t help and laugh at them, the 13 most powerful demons.. stooping to this level to help their brother win over her heart. She didn’t know whether take pity on them and just finish them off or to call forth her friends to see this spectacle.

Woo~
Verse two
Bboyahdon wooyoobit pibu gin mori kkeute namainneun hyanggiwa
Najimakhan moksoriro nal gonggyukhani nal igilsoonobso Woo yeah~

Heechul, with his own agenda danced around stealing the roses from his other brothers thinking he was sly in taking this opportunity to confess his love to Emi as well. With a great smile on his face, the pretty boy made his way to the front with 12 roses only to be caught in the act and dragged away by Kyuhyun and jumped and pummeled on by the other brothers, dragging him off to a distance.

“Emi ah!!!”Heechul called out as he reached out his hand with the bouquet of stolen roses only to be taken by Kim Bum to be used as an instrument to further Heechul’s beating.

“You fool” Donghae yelled as he kicked Heechul, “Emi is Yehsungs.. Come on lets go” as they continued to make there not so dramatic exit leaving Yehsung with a solo and to finish off his plan.

Yehsung continues to dance his heart out but then suddenly stops in a pose.

“Eh? Is it over already” Emi said as she continued to laugh and wipe her tears away, but then Yehsung turned and faded away, “Huh? ‘

Noege boyojoon MAGIC bbalkan

She heard but still now sign of Yehsung, who instantly appeared before her smiling and finishing off with a handstand landing on his butt, “Ouch… oh .. uhh ..jangmi soge soomgyuhdoon banjireul joolgge.. pay close attention.”

Emi listened and watched as Yehsung waved his hand over the rose as it slowly began to bloom and blossom revealing a ring.

“Why did you go through all this ? “Emi said somewhat taken away by this gesture, “as stupid and cute as it was.. what if someone saw you? “

Yehsung stood up and laughed patting his butt, “It’s a good thing I was wearing this huh?”

The two laughed and then there was an odd silence as Yehsung looked into her eyes,” You really don’t know why I put myself out like that…? It’s .. “

But before he could say anything his 12 brothers popped out of no where in harmony sang, “Cuz he can’t stop thinking about you girl…”

“Me neither Emi ah!!! I can’t stop thinking … ugh “ Heechul tried to sneak in yet again only to be gagged and dragged to the back.

“Aishh … I’ll deal with you later” Yehsung sneered as he waved them off and focused his attention to Emi taking her hand, “So now you know I can’t stop thinking about you, Emi… can you start thinking about me?”

“umm..” Emi didn’t know what say.. take a chance with a person who always cared for her.. or wait and hope that things work out between who she thinks is her match.

“Well…” Yehsung asked as he slowly began to place the ring on her finger.

Just as she had finally came up with a response, a sweet melody began to drift from the door into their realm.

Baby baby
Baby baby

Emi pulled back from Yehsung and started moving toward the door.

Ne gyothe baby
Issojyo

“Umm Emi ah.. I’m over here.” Yehsung said as he waved to catch her attention.

Sarangi gaetwo iron nae maumur
Sumgiryo haedo kumsae ibkaui misoman
Emi no longer paying attention to Yehsung, entranced by the sweet melody opened the door and searched for source of the sound that had stolen her heart.

Haruto andwae tto bogoshipojyo
Onjjoju nae mamun gipeun byongi goringor

Tears began to stream from her eyes as she listened to the sweet lyrics and saw that it was coming from none other than the person she believed to be the one she was fated to be with and his four brothers.

Unable to control her emotions she turned to Yehsung, “I’m sorry oppa” and handed him back, “But I have to follow my heart.. and it doesn’t lead to you.”

With saying that, Emi ran through the door leaving a dumbfounded Yehsung behind looking at the ring he was so close to getting on her finger, “What just happened.”

“You just got dumped..” Leeteuk said placing a hand on Yehsung’s shoulder offering comfort.

“Again…” Han Geng said placing his hand Yehsung’s other shoulder.

“By the same girl…”Sungmin said sighing as he picked up the rose.

“For the 1000th time this millennia..” Kyuhyun said giving Yehsung a hug.

“Umm.. I guess it should be a sign that you will never get her.. so… “ Heechul jumped in with a smile, “Why don’t you just give up and let the rest of us get a chance. How about giving hyung a chance huh? “

The 12 brothers took a step back and looked at the second eldest, gave a smile, “What? She’s hot and.. you can’t blame a guy for trying? “

“Yehsung…” Siwon said as he started cracking his knuckles, “We’ll give you the first punch..”

The 12 started to take steps toward Heechul who was slowly backing away, “Wait.. come on guys… I’m your hyung.. you can’t do this…”

Kang- In laughed, “Hmm hyung huh… well lets ask the oldest.. and see what he has to say..”

“I agree” Donghae said as he pulled out a wooden pole, “ Leeteuk hyung… do you have any problems with us teaching our other hyung a lesson?”

“I don’t have a problem… do you Yehsung? “ Leeteuk said as he began to stretch out.

“No… no problem at all.. Plus I feel like killing something anyways.” Yehsung said as he pulled out his whip.

“Then it’s agreed.. yah Heechul ah… we’ll give you to the count of 13 ok.”
“1”

Heechul took one step back on the defensive.

“2”

The 12 brothers readied themselves to attack.

“13”

“WHAT????? NO FAIR!!!” Heechul screamed as he dashed off, “ WAHHHHH!!!!!!!! YOU CAN’T KILL THE PRETTY ONE!!! ITS AGAINST THE RULES!!!”

“First one to get him, gets to be leader for a week!!!” Leeteuk yelled out.

“ALRIGHT!!!!” 10 out of the 11 other brothers yelled out as they all look to Yehsung.

“But remember … I get the first shot” Yehsung said as he put on his gloves, “LETS GO!!!”

Meanwhile…

“If they’ve done anything to BK… I swear I will tear out their throats.” Chloe said as she pulled out her butterfly swords and lit them on fire.

“As if she could lose unnies.” Bea said confidently but readied her ningata to help her unnie if something was wrong.

“Then again they are 5 able bodied men… hot too” Angie said as she unclipped her necklace.

“They will be hot when I put them into a pot of boiling water and make soup.. now where are those vials.. “ Jane mumbled as she searched in her basket but slipped and dropped a vial turning the flowers into fleshing eating monsters, “Oops..”

“Ergh” Chloe said annoyed as she shot fire at them burning them to a crisp, “Stop playing around, we need to go help Jaelin.”

“Oppa? What does oppa have to do… Unnie?”

The four girls stopped and looked at Black Knight who was asleep in a seat in front of the stage. Chloe thinking the worst thought she had been attacked rushed over and shook her, “BK!!! ARE YOU OK???”

“Huh?? Oh.. you are all here…” BK rubbed her eyes and stood up, “Took you long enough… come on have a seat..”

“Why”

“Because of …”before finishing her response she pointed toward the stage that was filled with candles and rose petals.

“What is going on” the four sisters said in unison following BK onto the stage.

“Look over there..” she pointed out toward the bridge.

Baby baby
