Chapter 4 - Revealing The Past

Hayaka recieves a message-"the gate will open at 10.40pm. Stand in front of the gate that time."

"Shouga sent this, so it was gate of hell afterall"

At 10.40pm

Hayaka stands in front of the gate and the door opens with the capped guy standing at the other end of the door.

"So, Hayaka, you have finally arrived."

"It's him. The capped guy."

"You came, as Shouga said. Pretty impressive. I didnt think that he left clues for you. Anyways you can't do anything."

"What, Shouga said? What is he talking about? "

"Oh sorry, let me explain. Shouga told me to text message you at 10.30pm and to open the door for 10mins. Well that was his last wish, so I couldnt deny it. But i was confident that in 10mins you wouldn't be able to reach me but that was a mistake in my side. I didn't know that he left clues for you. Come in and try for yourself, if you are able to take Shouga back with you."

"So, if I am able to take him, you will not do anything to us after that."

"Hmm..sounds good"

"So, where is he?"

"Let me take you."

They head towards a room where in a transparent capsule shaped object which had some kind of electric currents flowing like some information were being stolen and inside the capsule was Shouga.

Crying-"Shouga. Shouga open your eyes it's me, Hayaka. Please open your eyes. Shouga!!!"

"Oh sorry, I forgot to say you but Shouga is undergoing a test where he is facing one of his past. You know what, Hayaka? Shouga won't return to you once he has finished the test."

"No, I believe in Shouga. He will always be with me. He is my best friend. Right, Shouga? "

Shouga starts to react to those words.

Capped guy-"thanks a lot, Hayaka. Now, it's impossible for you to take him back."

"What? "

"Shouga is undergoing through a test where he had a best friend. Your words only triggered the rate to success more."

"So you set me up? "

"No, no, it was your fault that you know nothing about Shouga's past but I know everything about his past."

"Shouga's past? "

The capsule breaks and Hayaka ran towards Shouga.

"Shouga, are you alright? "

"Shouga, open your eyes."

Shouga opens his eyes slowly.

"Ha-y-aka"

"Shouga, let's leave this place. Let's go back. Come with me and we can be home safe and sound."

Crying-"sorry, Hay-aka, I can't. Even if I come back I wont be able to live a n-normal l-life because I-I-I... killed someone"- his hands on his face and crying.

"Shouga, what are you saying Shouga? Don't joke now."

"I am not joking."

An year before.

Inside the gate of hell.

Notice : It would look like it happened long before because their body and mind were like a 9 year old child but it was an year before.

"Hi, my name is Klein. What's your name? "

"My name is Shouga."

"Do you know what's going on? "

"Nah. So you are in the same situation as me."

"Not only us, I guess. There are many like us here."

"Let's start from being friends."

"Fine but do you know remember anything or Where are we? ".

"Nope but i have seen a person who said he will explain everything to us later once everyone is awake."

"Oh... ok"

There were 10 students sleeping around them . It was like we were stuck in a different dimension with a capsule which had a nebula surrounding around the building we were in. We couldn't run away, the nebula wall or surrounding was repelling us

After an hour everyone is awake.

"Hello everyone. You are in a parallel world. You are inside the thing which you call gate of hell. You will be attending tests everyday and according to your results you will be staying here."

We didn't know what was going on but the man was emitting a immense aura and he was in the intend of killing anyone who opposes him.

Shouga and Klein were always together. To be precise everyone had a pair but when the tests are over we become one as a team co-operate with each other.

But it was not long though that the number of students started to decrease. We were unable to even ask what happened to them. All we know is that once they disappear they never came back and a doll which looked like them was kept on their seat instead.

So atlast we were able to bring the courage to ask what happened to them and the answer he gave was-

"It's finally time to say you. Your friends oversmart that they took the contrary of what I said. They thought that if they failed the tests they could go home but that just bought their demise."

"Wha-wha-what you killed them? "

"Not yet. Their souls remain in the doll we placed at their seats and their bodies are you can see it for yourself..."

"Follow me and you will know."

We were so much scared that each step we took, we could feel our breath tightening and our mind starting to become black.

"This is what happens when you fail the tests."

There was a room full of bodies. It was as he said, they were no souls in the body. They were put in dolls and then we had to ask-

"What are you going to do with this? "

He smiled in a wierd way and said-"we will torcher their body untill night and then we put thier soul back to the body and make them feel the pain everyday. It causes a great damage when we put a sould on a damaged body."

We were all scared and after each day our strength decreased and all we did was do tests and thought about only to pass but the tests started to be wicked and it started to feel like it was going to kill us. Now, we were able to crying noises at night. We knew it was our friends and each day when someone was taken away, we could hear their cries but all we could do was hear. Scared, scared, scared.... mind was confused and then the day came when it was only klein and me. All others were taken away. Now it was time for me to survive is what is was thinking all this time but that thought was lost. I was scared of losing my life ory best friends life and then all of a sudden I said to klein-

"Let's run away. This place is hell. We will die if we stay here anymore."

"I was waiting for you to say that my friend."

We started to search for a place where the exit existed but we were not able to. We lost our confidence.

And one day we found out how the man went out and that's how we got our confidence back.

Next day was our final test so we decided to run away without trying the test as it would cost our lives. We ran, we ran, we ran, and we even fell for many traps laid by them but never gave up and after some time when I turned back I couldn't find Klein. When I went back in search of him. And I finally found him but he was stabbed with 3 swords in his heart. I was about to cry.

But that time something flashed in my mind and all I thought was that he deserves to death and nothing else and before I knew it I was smiling at his death.

Then I understood that I cannot be a normal human because i was laughing and then the man said-

"You have completed the tests successfully Shouga."

It's then I understood that I was always under his clutches.

"Now will you accept the deal? "

He said some deal, I am not able to remember what the deal was but I accepted his deal.

Present timing

"So, now you remember what happened. Isn't this going too well. Ha..Ha..ha..ha..ha. Here begins the true fun now. Ok then let start the lecture on what is gate of hell and what was the deal you made with me and the biggest secret of gate of hell-it's existence was created by whom "
