<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter It didn’t surprise Hiei when Botan came to find him midmorning. Koenma had more work for them it seemed, and Hiei was certain Ali would be involved somehow. He was in a good mood so he reserved his snark and simply nodded when the ferry girl told him he was expected … Continue reading Chapter 14 – Revelations

Chapter 13 – Interlude: Hiei
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter A/N: I was compelled to write the beach scene from Hiei’s POV as well. I felt both POVs were important to the story, so rather than cut one or the other, I did a sort of mini-recap on the POV switch to start the next chapter before delving deeper into the … Continue reading Chapter 13 – Interlude: Hiei
Chapter 11 – Victor
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Hiei glowered at the creature before him. He had had enough of being this man’s plaything. He was grateful to the girl for her heroics, although he would never admit it aloud. Still, he could exact a small measure of vengeance for her sake. “You’re going to pay for that,” he … Continue reading Chapter 11 – Victor
Chapter 10 – Rescue
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali took the opportunity to rest her eyes while she awaited rescue. She had no doubts they would be able to find her, and there wasn’t much she could do otherwise. Hiei’s voice in her head woke her some time later. We’re close, he told her. Looks to be an old … Continue reading Chapter 10 – Rescue
Chapter 9 – Whisper
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter A/N: Again, in the long, long ago when I read/wrote fic regularly, there was this trope of incorporating song lyrics into your chapters or stories. Most fics had at least one “Song Chappy” and mine is no exception. I was pretty heavily into Evanescence at the time I started writing this. … Continue reading Chapter 9 – Whisper
Chapter 8 – Flight
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali woke up some time later back in her bed at Koenma’s estate. She bolted upright, startled to find herself there. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows along the walls, dust mites dancing in the beams. There was a faint scent of roses in the room, but she found no … Continue reading Chapter 8 – Flight
Chapter 7 – Encounters
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Hiei had no trouble passing through the barrier around Koenma’s estate. He had thought it would be a simple ward to keep demons out, a miniature scale version of the spirit barrier separating the Ningenkai from the Makai. Glaring at the boundary, he supposed it could still be similar in its … Continue reading Chapter 7 – Encounters
Chapter 6 – Shopping
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali’s chest sank as the dark haired young man stormed out of the office. She wasn’t sure what she had done to upset him but she was certain he was angry. Yusuke gave her an encouraging smile. “Don’t let Hiei get you down,” he said. Kuwabara nodded. “Yeah, he’s always doing … Continue reading Chapter 6 – Shopping
Chapter 5 – Mission
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Hiei watched the sun rise over the ocean from his perch high in a tree at the forest’s edge. The sky had been a lovely shade of red in the early hour, though not quite as deep as the skies back in Makai. He enjoyed these mornings most because they reminded … Continue reading Chapter 5 – Mission
Chapter 4 – Safe House
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Botan led Ali through the chaos of the spirit realm departments, dodging ogres and apparitions all bustling on their way to deliver their various reports. Ali almost screamed when she first saw the troll-like creatures scurrying about in loincloths. There were monsters in the spirit world? “We’re not so different from … Continue reading Chapter 4 – Safe House
