<-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 31 – Rin
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Kurama was waiting for Ali when she woke. She regarded him with a stern frown. “Did you even move all night?” “I assure you I got plenty of sleep in my own bed,” he chuckled. He did seem rested, but then he always did. “How did you sleep?” “Wonderfully,” she announced. … Continue reading Chapter 31 – Rin
Chapter 30 – Sayuri
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter “You should get some rest,” Kurama said for the hundredth time since Ali and Hiei had returned with Sayuri.

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.

No. If she had … Continue reading Chapter 27 – Recollections
Chapter 26 – Split
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali’s unconscious mind cut through the haze of the drink Kurama had given her. There was something she had to do. She didn’t have time to be sleeping like a babe. She awoke only a few minutes after he left her, her mind a calm sea thanks to his ministrations. That … Continue reading Chapter 26 – Split
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.

Chapter 23 – Recovery
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Ali didn’t fully grasp how Hiei had saved her, but she knew he would not be there when she opened her eyes. The temptation to remain in the dream, to create a version of him that would stay with her forever, almost seduced her, but her friends were waiting for her. … Continue reading Chapter 23 – Recovery
