<-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 35 – Fate
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Nikkie took point on the other side of the doorway. She was the most familiar with the lay of the land, after all. The portal dropped them in the middle of nowhere, as far as Hiei could tell, though Youko grumbled about being in Yomi’s territory. “Gandara is off to the … Continue reading Chapter 35 – Fate
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 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 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 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
Chapter 21 – Desperation
<-First Chapter <-Previous Chapter Hiei ran faster than he ever had before, back through the Gates of Judgement and down into the human realm, through dark alleys and out into the streets. From the streets, he leapt to rooftops and ran toward the edge of the city, to the forest. He scented blood on the … Continue reading Chapter 21 – Desperation
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
