<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter The massive release of energy lit the sky afire. At the epicenter of the blast, two bodies hovered in mid-air, tethered by some unseen force. Slowly, they began to descend to the ground. Neither was moving. Koenma’s fighters watched them, transfixed. Yusuke’s muscles were taut with anticipation. Kuwabara stared in awe. … Continue reading Chapter 36 – Requiem

Chapter 34 – Antebellum
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter The shocked faces in Koenma’s office irritated Hiei. The dog woman especially; she definitely had it out for him, though he couldn’t fathom why. His irritation was nothing new, though. He’d felt it itching at him since Sayuri’s declaration to him that morning. “I need to return to Makai,” she had … Continue reading Chapter 34 – Antebellum
Chapter 33 – Nikkie
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Koenma frowned at the report on his desk. An URGENT stamp adorned the top of the audience request, but what was curious was where it had come from. Someone in Makai needed to speak with him? And sooner rather than later, from the tone of the form. Naturally, he had some … Continue reading Chapter 33 – Nikkie
Chapter 32 – Promises
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Hiei wanted to be glad that Sayuri was alive and safe. He wanted the twins to have the sibling relationship he and Yukina could not. He wanted to return Sayuri’s affections as her lips against his reminded him of a fire he had known once. He wanted to trust her. What … Continue reading Chapter 32 – Promises
Chapter 28 – Break-In
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter The one good thing that came out of her 24/7 protection detail, as far as Ali saw it, was the sudden improvement in Yusuke’s attendance at school. At the very least, she wasn’t the only one suffering. “We don’t have to go to school, you know,” he whined on the third … Continue reading Chapter 28 – Break-In
Chapter 27 – Recollections
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Wolf demons. The War. Sayuri. Hiei’s mind latched onto those three thoughts as ancient memories assaulted his senses. Sayuri was alive. Sayuri, powerful and beautiful and terrible, who had loved him. That thought was inconceivable, and yet the memory remained. How many nights had they lain together? No. If she had … Continue reading Chapter 27 – Recollections
Chapter 25 – History
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter A/N: Apologies for the hiccup with yesterday's chapter. Something glitched out when I published the post from my drafts folder in the WordPress app and it cached it as the day it was drafted (11/2) instead of the day I actually published it. I was able to update it so it's … Continue reading Chapter 25 – History
Chapter 24 – Reflection
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali returned to school in lighter spirits after a weekend with Yuki. Her strength had mostly returned and she was all caught up on homework, so she enjoyed an afternoon of his company. Much like their Christmas date, they went to a movie and had an early dinner at a café … Continue reading Chapter 24 – Reflection
Chapter 20 – Break
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali leaned against the door in the dark of her apartment for a long while after Hiei left. She feared her heart would burst right out of her chest if she moved. She had wished for months that he would look at her as something other than a mission, but she … Continue reading Chapter 20 – Break
Chapter 15 – Routine
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali caught Kurama’s leg as he joined the brawl with her and Yusuke and Kuwabara, noting, with mild disappointment, as Hiei left without another word. She sighed inwardly before returning her attention to the battle royale raging around her, putting him out of her mind as she focused on the rush … Continue reading Chapter 15 – Routine
