Standard disclaimers apply.

For those of you who have read my Yu Yu Hakusho fanfics, you know that I am the Queen of angst-writing-that-turns-out-okay-in-the-end (I just can't kill my favorite characters! ) =) Enjoy despite the angst and please review.

The scenery was a blur as the two phoenixes flew past at lightning speed. The female, a majestic red flame, followed the male, an equally majestic bluish-gray flame.

They moved in perfect synchronization. When one turned, the other followed, always they held an impossible grace of movement. Along with that grace, they moved with a quiet confidence, a confidence that belied their strength.

They ruled the land of the spirits, respected and feared even by the great dragons and beasts. They all bowed to the might of the phoenix.

But then, a day came where the phoenixes were flying, that a human came to the land of the spirits. Once it set eyes upon the phoenixes, he was determined to tame at least one of them. It approached the rulers of the spirits.

The male, fearing for the safety of its mate, flew in for the attack, fanning its flames into a saber of fire. The human was unarmed, except for a toy top. It threw the top at the spirit.

Too late to change its course, the spirit hit the top. But instead of the top breaking, the phoenix started to be drawn into a white sticker on the top. It struggled to free itself, crying out in distress. Its mate called to it in sorrow as the male was drawn in, unable to flee from the top.

Sensing its capture, the male called out to its mate. We will be reunited, I swear it! I will love you forever.

The phoenix was captured. The balance destroyed. But that was just the beginning. Soon all of the spirits had been captured, and all but two had been tamed. The spirits of the phoenixes still cry to be united, they will not rest until they have.

The only question is when.
