Crossing Oceans

Chapter One: Admiration

The third Makai tournament came early this year. Demons of all sorts waited impatiently to place their name in the drawing as they waited outside the doors of the stadium. Yelling could be heard a mile away as Yusuke finally came in view of the magnificent stadium he eagerly awaited this year. A toothy grin grew on his face as he took the sight in, he could have sworn he felt a beat of excitement in his motionless heart.

Fingers curled around his leg and he looked down at a hooded, small figure that clung tightly to his leg. Yusuke began to laugh, "Don't tell me you're scared now?"

Near the entrance of the stadium Hiei turned around and looked off into the distance, his gaze settling on in the surrounding forest. Mukuro glanced over at him noticing his sudden movement. "Is there something wrong?" She asked a slight purr present in her tone that only Hiei could catch. He turned back toward the doors and crossed his arms closing his eyes as he did so, a smile creeping to his lips.

"Yusuke has finally arrived," Hiei couldn't hide the smile that was present in his own voice.

Mukuro smiled at his sudden turn in mood, but her voice didn't change when she spoke once more. "You haven't seen him since the last tournament; I can tell you're excited in more than one way."

Hiei didn't say anything but instead acted like she hadn't said a word. He wouldn't admit to the woman that he was stoic to be pitted against his former team member, not only that, but to see how much his strength had changed since the last tournament. It had been a full five years since then, and Hiei knew that he usually doubles his strength within a year's time. After five years, his power should have tripled. But, of course, Yusuke wasn't the only one who's been training mercilessly the last couple of years, Hiei also tripled in strength. He figured this year would be a quick tournament with him reigning victorious.

"I can see the difference in you Hiei, I'm starting to grow jealous," she only teased, but Hiei could hear the bit of resentment in her voice. "To bad I can't bring that excitement into bed."

Hiei, yet again, ignored her, but a small smile crept to his lips as the memories of last night resurfaced.

When a familiar presence began to walk over toward where he was standing, Hiei opened his eyes and watched as Kurama made his way toward the two.

"Ah, Kurama," Mukuro began, taking a step toward the red head. The last couple of years Kurama had visited Hiei from time to time, in his visits he began to show a friendship towards Mukuro something Hiei could care less about. "I didn't think you were participating this year?" She inquired, cocking her head to the side in slight confusion.

Kurama nodded his head confirming that she was correct. "I'm only here to speculate and see who our new king shall be; I do not wish to attend."

Mukuro nodded her head as the two began to converse about whatever nonsense they had on their minds. Kurama smiled at a comment Mukuro made about Hiei, then his eyes shifted to his left as he stopped in mid-sentence. He then gave his full attention toward the direction Hiei was staring at earlier, a disbelief look plastered on his face. The two followed his stare and watched as Yusuke and his fellow monks began to walk over toward the trio. He gave them his famous toothy grin when they all noticed him walking up. But Kurama's eyes shifted down toward his leg at a figure in a black hoodie and white, loose fighting pants similar to Yusuke's yellow ones was walking slightly behind Yusuke obscured in view from Hiei and Mukuro. The little figure had its head hung low as it walked, trying not to draw to much attention to itself. But Kurama knew better who this little figure was; the disbelief would not escape his features.

"Well," Yusuke began ignoring Kurama's light glare. "Isn't it my favorite three demons?" His eyes meet with Hiei's who still had his arms crossed but looked at Yusuke with challenging eyes. "Nice to see you actually grew an inch since the last time I saw you." Yusuke teased as he placed both of his hands on his hips and began to snicker when Hiei started to glare up at him. "What are you know? Finally reached five feet, yet?"

Hiei glared deepened but didn't reply with his usual snarky remarks, he did in fact grow two inches since they last meet, but the stupid idiotic former spirit detective was an idiot beyond belief. Hiei, is now 5'5", and if Yusuke would remember correctly the last Makai tournament, Yusuke almost asked the exact same thing in which Mukuro stated (who was listening in on their conversation like usual), that Hiei was indeed 5'3".

The little person below Yusuke stepped away from Yusuke, tilting its head up ever so slightly and looked around. The large brown eyes scanned the area taking in every demon that was around them. Its mouth hung slightly open as it watched a group of demons mouthing off to one of the door keepers. "What the hell do you mean I can't enter yet!" A demon with dark blue skin, horns, and what looked to be five eyes on his head all staring at the door keeper, each eye wide with rage.

"I-I'm sorry sir, but everything is not prepared yet, just ten more minutes and you may take your place in the ring," The keeper stuttered, he was a smaller demon, probably a low D class by the look of him. He looked to be human with normal brown hair, blue eyes, but what made him demon was his long lion like tail that swished back and forth nervously as he spoke to the stronger demon before him.

The hooded, small person walked over to the two quarreling demons. It looked up at the two in awe; this was the first time the little person ever saw two demons before. It wasn't until about a minute of staring at the two demons did they notice the short hooded person standing there. The demon who was in a rage glared down at it his mouth turning up into a sneer revealing many rows of sharp teeth. "What the hell are you looking at pipsqueak?"

The little person looked up at him with new angry brown eyes, which turned to slits. The little person opened its mouth to say something when a hand covered the mouth preventing it from saying something it would later regret.

Yusuke put his hand around the extremely short person mouth, and in return felt something sharp bit down on his hand followed by a frustrated squeaking noise. "Ouch! What the- what the heck are you doing?" He yelled at the little person ignoring the demon that was looking at him with complete and utter shock. The demon knew very well who this half-breed was and took a step back away from him to stun to even say a word. Yusuke, on the other hand, just walked away from the two demons ignoring them completely and back to the trio he considered his friends. He let go of the little person mouth and held it by the collar of the sweat shirt.

It, or should we say she after the profanity coming from her mouth which could not be mistaken to be a very young female child, began to squirm in his grasp kicking her legs out as well as her arms making her anger grow. "Let me go you stupid piece of…"

"Hey!" Yusuke said, trying his best not to swear in front of the child. He shook the child ever so slightly up and down trying to get her attention. "Who the heck taught you to speak like that?"

Kurama, Hiei, and Mukuro looked at Yusuke like it wasn't hard to figure out where the child got her profanity from. "Does Keiko know?" Kurama couldn't help but ask only confirming to Hiei and Mukuro that this is indeed Yusuke's child, little girl to be exact.

Yusuke scratch his head and set the child on the ground, but still had a firm grip on her collar of her hoodie. "Um, uh…." He began to trip over her words this discomfort of the question clear on his face as he looked lost for words. "Yeeessss…" Kurama gave him a look making Yusuke re-think what he said and added, "And no."

"So it's both?" Kurama asked, a little bit of a sarcastic tone present.

Yusuke scratched his head harder and gave them his famous toothy grin for the second time that day. "Well, I told her we were going to Genkai's for the week… you know…"

"So you lied?" Kurama said matter-of-factly.

Yusuke sunk his shoulders in defeat. "Okay, okay, yes I lied, but it was for a good reason." He pointed his finger up like what he did was a good idea a small snicker escaping his lips.

"So, risking your daughter's life was a good idea?"

"Well, I… Uh…"

"Hey!" Yusuke daughter called up to the two arguing adults. "You know, I can take care of myself!" she yelled up, the same toothy, cocky grin copied on her face as she pointed her thumb towards herself. Yusuke looked down at his daughter and snickered, rubbing her head with the palm of his hand. She growled up and him and pushed his hand away, glaring up at her father with disgust. "I'm being serious!" She looked at everyone around her, each have a bemused face on, excluding Kurama who was still mad at Yusuke for bringing his own daughter to the Makai at such a young age. "You'll see, when I'm old enough I'll beat you all up at the Makai tournament." Pointing at each one of them and making sure her pointed finger stayed the longest on both Hiei and Mukruo. Why, she herself didn't know. Then she turned toward her father and pointed a finger at him. "You'll be the first!"

Yusuke burst out laughing, holding his stomach at his own daughters' outburst. He sat down next to her and placed both hands on his knees as he stared at his daughters face. Her face grew redder with anger when her father laughed, he reached out to grab her head to give her a noggie, but she pulled away when his arm swung toward her head and pointed her finger at him again. This time, though, she grabbed her wrist with her other hand and got in a stance that she saw her father do countless times when he would show her his spirit gun. He had been trying to teach her the spirit gun, but for someone her age and, of course, having a human mother, he doesn't expect her to have any spiritual power until she reached the age of ten – at the least.

But he was wrong.

He watched her with a cocky smile as he sat there crossing his arms and legs. A little ball of light formed at her finger tip, and Yusuke smile grew into an open mouth surprise. He could actually sense her spirit energy channeling through her arm and into the tip of her finger. He watched in amazement for his daughter, his little six year old girl, performing the spirit gun right before his eyes.

And, of course, aimed toward him.

"SPIRIT GUN!" She yelled, flying back from the little bit of spirit energy that shot out, about the size of a softball whizzing through the air and hitting Yusuke square in the forehead. He fell backwards onto his back, stunned still that his daughter actually pulled it off. He grabbed his forehead with his right hand, and pushed himself up with his left. He rubbed it and looked over to where his daughter landed; she shot up and began to rub the back of her head viciously from the impact of head hitting ground after she shot off her first shot. Her noise was wrinkled up and her eyes were closed shut as she crouched down and held the back of her head in pain.

Yusuke began to laugh and took his hand off of his forehead. He got to his feet and ran over to his daughter, picking her up and twirling her around laughing, "You did it! You actually did it!" He yelled with glee. She blinked at him for a second, and then her mouth opened into a smile as she laughed with him yelling that she did it as well.

Mukuro watched the show of affection that Yusuke had for his daughter, a spit of jealously shooting through her, but she dismissed it. She was glad to see that Yusuke loved his daughter, but that wasn't the reason why she was staring at them intently, or more toward the daughter that she hadn't had the slightest clue what her name was. She was lightly amazed that a six year old human could perform a move such as that. She knew how much training Yusuke had to endure just to learn to channel his spirit energy into the point of his finger. How much has he been training his daughter to do such a thing, and it surprised her still that she would even train at such a young age. Mukuro smiled at the young child, she will grow up to be quite strong if she keeps on whatever training regimen Yusuke is pitting her thru.

There was a loud peep noise heard coming from the stadium doors. Everyone turned and looked as one of the door keepers began to speak into a microphone. "You may start heading in now; the tournament will begin in a couple of minutes after your name has been drawn and put into a group. May the best demon win!" And with that everyone around them began to head inside.

Yusuke placed his daughter on his shoulders and began to walk with the rest of the group inside. The stadium didn't change in the least bit; there was still a large screen at the far end, the surrounding seats that were already filled with demons waiting for the fighting to begin, and the special seats where the judges will be sitting, (Even though he had no idea why they needed judges in the first place when anything is allowed in the battle ring.).

"Wow, look at that daddy!" Yusuke's daughter yelled in his ear looking at the giant screen making him cringe in slight pain. "I've never seen a TV that big before! Why can't we have a big TV?" She asked, hanging her head over his to look into his eyes. She jutted her bottom lip out and gave him her best puppy-dog-eye look.

Yusuke laughed at the attempt to make him feel bad for her. "Yeah, sure, like we can fit that into our living room. And besides, I've been asking Keiko to get that new flat screen TV that doesn't even compare to that giant screen and she still says no."

His daughter snorted but didn't say anything more.

"So, who do you suppose will be watching your daughter when you battle?" Kurama asked, already knowing the answer to his question but just want to get what was to come later out of the way.

Yusuke looked at him sheepishly. "If you don't mind?"

Kurama sighed but nodded his head anyways. He didn't have anything against the child; in fact he is the child's tutor. He didn't mind the job, especially since he's been rather bored the last couple of months. And to his surprise, the child had a knack for academics which her mother must have passed down to her. Unfortunately though, that's the only thing she received from her mothers' DNA. She was almost like her father's clone, just a different sex. She loved to fight, brawl, and back talk to her teacher, and then throws a fit when she doesn't get what she wants.

Kurama extended his hands out as he watched Yusuke's daughter place both of her feet on her father's shoulders, readying herself to jump at him. She did exactly what he thought she would do and landed in his arms. She looked back at her father and waved back as she watched him walk off waving goodbye.

Kurama turned around toward the audience. He scanned the rows, and rows, of demons until he spotted Koenma and Botan. She waved to him and patted the seat next to her. Kurama smiled up at the two.

Yusuke's daughter stood in front of Kurama and watched as they began to draw names. She watched as each name was yelled through the speakerphone. Kurama watched as well from his seat next to Botan. Botan turned her head toward him and covered her mouth with her hand as she whispered, "Is that who I think it is?"

Kurama nodded and whispered back, "I'm afraid so, and," he said cutting her off before she can ask another questions. "I really cannot imagine why he would do such a thing."

"Oh," Botan said, and leaned back into her seat and watched the child's eyes glow with excitement.

"WOOOHOOO!" The child screamed when her fathers' name was finally called causing the demons around them to glare at her. Kurama grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to him where he kept his firm grip. "Hey! What's the big idea?" She said trying to push off of him.

"If you don't calm down soon, I will be forced to take you back to human world immediately." Kurama "politely" threatened as he gave her a hard stare. The child huffed and crossed her arms but didn't struggle any longer. She leaned against his leg and watched as the contestants where all sent off to different battle grounds. The big screen buzzed to life and showed twenty-two different groups waiting for the buzzer to go off so they can begin the fight.

The screen began to count down, making a noise whenever it changed numbers. Yusuke's child began to count down with it. "10, 9, 8, 7…"

Kurama couldn't help but smile, even with all the disgusting demons she witnessed today; she doesn't seem fazed in the least bit. Matter of fact, she seems to be more eager than ever about something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"3, 2, 1!" She screamed the last number and her eyes grew wide with wonder as she watched the demon slaughter each other on the screen. Of course, her eyes were glued on group 14 which her father was in. In a matter of seconds every demon in his group fell to their knees in defeat, not one losing their life. "Wow, did you see that Kurama?" She squealed. Kurama tightened his hand on her shoulder telling her to be quiet.

The child's eyes then went to Mukuro's screen which had the same result, then Hiei's which she didn't get to see what he did because all demons where already on the ground passed out and he didn't seem to have broken a sweat. "I can't wait to fight in the tournament," Yusuke's child said with disappointment that she couldn't fight now. "This seems fun."

Koenma decided to chime in and said, "She's just like her father isn't she?"

Kurama nodded. "Indeed."

"So, has she shown any hint of spiritual energy lately?"

Kurama's eyes shifted to the side to look at Koenma. Kurama knew he wasn't just asking out of curiosity. "Yes, outside of the stadium she performed the spirit gun on Yusuke's forehead."

Koenma at first didn't say anything as he thought about the new information. His hand went to his chin as he thought deeply about the matter. "That's – interesting." Was all he said before he watched the matched finally turn into one against one.

Yusuke's child watched as her father made it back to the stadium below her. He meet up with Hiei and Mukuro and began to converse with them. "Who are those two people?" She asked Kurama.

"Mukuro is the woman and Hiei is the…"

"Short one?" She finished for him. Botan began to snicker and Kurama couldn't help but smile. Yes, she was indeed her father's daughter.

Names began to flicker across the screen showing who's fighting who. Yusuke was pitted against the demon who was in group six, Hiei who was in group two is going against someone in group 6, and Mukuro who was in group fifteen is being placed against a demon in group one. "The demons they are going against are weak. This isn't going to be much fun!" Yusuke's child pouted, crossing her arms in distaste.

"Wait," Koenma began leaning forward in his seat. "You can sense their energy levels?"

The child shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, maybe."

"There's no maybe only a yes or no answer."

The child turned toward Koenma and stuck her tongue out and pulled the skin under her eye down. "None of your beeswax, stupid head!"

Koenma's right eye began to twitch and small vein popped on his forehead as he stared the little brat down. She was far too much like her father.

The fight began again and the child turned her attention back to the screen as she watched her father with amazement. His opponent was weaker than him but still had a couple of moves up his sleeve making Yusuke having to practically dance his way through the match, dodging every attack. But, unfortunately for his opponent, he was finished off with a spirit gun blast making him fly far up into the sky and out of sight. Yusuke put his hand over his eyes to block the sun as he watched to see where his opponent went, but to no avail. He was blasted off far into the distance.

"Wow!" The child gaped at her own father in amazement. "That was amazing! I can't wait to grow that strong, too!" She said with cocky confidence.

Kurama nodded. "Maybe you will one day." This made the child's eyes sparkle from his words. She was truly enjoying herself, and that got Kurama worried. Like Yusuke, he was afraid that she would grow to love the Makai, and he didn't doubt that she was already showing affection toward this world already. It was a mistake for Yusuke to let his only child come to the Makai, now she won't be able to wait to come back and visit this treacherous land. That could lead to complications in her years of development.

After a couple more matches Hiei and Yusuke were pitted against each other. Hiei gave Yusuke a run for his money; they both grew significantly in strength and power. Yusuke's child watched in amazement, but her eyes couldn't follow along as well as everyone else's and this upset her. She kept on asking Kurama what was going on and he explained with detail of how the fight was turning out.

The two suddenly stopped in the middle of their fight, both looked pretty beaten up as they panted heavily. Then, Hiei began to unwrap his arm showing off a tattoo shaped as a dragon that ran across his arm. "It's looks like he'll be using the Dragon of The Darkness Flame against Yusuke," Botan said as she watched the match intently.

The child looked up at Kurama. "What's that?"

Kurama smiled down at her. "You'll see soon enough."

She turned back toward the screen not daring to blink her eyes when she saw Hiei's arm glowing a black light. He brought his arm back behind him and the black light soon turned into fire as it engulfed his arm. Suddenly, his arm shot forward and a large black dragon came forth from his arm and began to grow in size as it traveled with destruction toward Yusuke.

"Why isn't he moving?" Koenma asked concerned for his former spirit detective.

Yusuke pointed his finger at the dragon not showing any hint of fear whatsoever as the dragon charged for him. His finger began to glow, the ball of energy at the end grew in size, bigger than anything the child ever saw him use, and blasted it at the dragons head. The dragon opened its mouth screeching as it did so and swallowed the energy whole. For a second, the child thought the black dragon had won, but she watched as the energy traveled through the dragon and break through heading toward Hiei. The dragon fell only missing Yusuke centimeters before it halted then disappeared. But for Hiei, he wasn't expecting the blast to make it through and it hit him square on engulfing him completely.

He flew backwards and went through the mountain that was behind him. Yusuke yelled out his name and ran toward where Hiei had landed.

"He used too much," Botan said as she covered his eyes.

Kurama shook his head. "Hiei wouldn't fall that easily - knocked out, maybe."

Yusuke ran over to Hiei's motionless body that somehow made it through the mountain in one piece. He crouched down next to him and flipped him over so he was on his back. Hiei's chest moved up and down slowly, he was indeed knocked out and still alive. Relief swept through Yusuke's face as he looked down toward his friend.

Kurama nodded his head in confirmation of his last statement. He looked down to where the child was at to see what her reaction was –

But she wasn't there.

Kurama stood up instantly and glanced around him. She wasn't anywhere to be seen. "What is it, Kurama?" Botan asked confused by his sudden movement.

"She disappeared," Kurama stated and ran off to go look for her. She shouldn't have gotten far, why she would run off without him sensing it was beyond belief for him.

He just made it to the stairs when he finally heard her voice. His heart began to relax when he caught sight of her, but then froze realizing where she was at and what she was saying.

"That's my father!" she yelled in the middle of the stadium and she looked up at the big screen with respect. The demon around her stared at her, they were the ones who have fallen and are now waiting in the stadium to see who is victorious. "Yeah that's right, he beat every one of you with his own fists!" She gloated. Kurama ran down as fast as he could, pushing past demons as he did so. This was bad, extremely bad. Most of those demons hated Yusuke and everything he stands for and she just stated that she was his daughter. It would be the perfect time to get their revenge on the former spirit detective.

"None of you can stack up to him and when I grow up to be stronger I'll be ruling every single one of you!" She pointed at all the demons around her. Her father's toothy grin only pissed off demons even more when they saw it on her face.

"Well isn't this nice," said one of the demons with many sharp teeth and only one eye in the middle of his head. "For Yusuke to bring us dinner." He began to droll at the thought of devouring her as he stalked over toward the defenseless girl.

"Dinner, HA!" laughed another as he looked down at the puny girl. He was rather large and looked like a giant turtle. "She doesn't even measure up to be a snake."

The child growled. "I'll show you." She pointed her finger at the turtle demon and shot at him. The softball size spirit energy flew thought he air toward him but he smacked it away like it was a fly. Two spirit guns in one day? It was starting to take a toll on her. She, after all, just acquired this new ability.

"Pathetic," The turtle demon laughed at her pathetic attempt of a spirit gun. "But I'll enjoy eating you." The child gritted her teeth and took a step back, then another. One thing she learned from her father was to never show fear because then they will know that you are defeated. She glared at the turtle demon, but took another step back. Something grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up far into the air. Unlike her father when he did so earlier, this person had a tight grip around the collar chocking her as she hung there.

"Mmmm, smells delicious!" The demon flicked his tongue out and licked the child's cheek. She tried to punch back but the demon caught her arm and brought it to his mouth. "This is going to hurt you more than it will for me. Actually, this is going to be great pleasure for myself, and complete torture for you." The demon opened its large mouth but before he could bite down something hit him in the back making him go flying as the child fell into a strangers arm.

The child looked over at the demon that went flying. He landed a distance away and shot back up onto his feet glaring at her savior. She looked up at the man who saved her. Her eyes first fell on the spiky, grayish blue hair, tan skin, small squinted eyes, and a smile that was all to flattering for the young child. Her face flushed from both embarrassment and the small crush she suddenly developed while staring up at his friendly face.

"Kujou," Kurama said with relief when he ran up to the two, but his relief soon turned to anger toward the small child. "What do you think you were doing? Do you have any idea what the outcome of your action could have brought forth?" He wasn't the scolding type, but the worry he just had to endure only angered him more. This child doesn't know a thing about this world and he's afraid she's going to learn the hard way.

"Kujou?" Yusuke asked with a quizzical look, his head cocking to the side as he looked down at his daughter in his hands. He just made it back from the arena and placed Hiei in the infirmary when he noticed a crowd of demons huddle near the center of the stadium. Out of curiosity he walked over to see what the commotion was about. He was more surprised to see his daughter in the arms of Kujou, and demons glaring daggers at his daughter. Then, realization hit him when he realized where his daughter was located… In the stadium… Surrounded by demons. "Aria Genkai Urameshi! What the hell do you think you are doing?" His scolding sounded harsher than Kurama's. "I told you to keep a low profile, you remember what the consequences were if you didn't!" His eyes held hers showing the deep disappointment for his daughter.

Aria pushed herself out of Kujou's arms and dropped down to her feet and held her head low. "I'm sorry, dad, it's just…" She looked up at him, her eyes shaking ever so slightly as she held in her tears with all her might. But her eyes also showed her admiration of what she witnessed so far that day. "When I saw you fight it was so amazing! I-I never seen you like that before daddy, and I got over excited, I-I wanted to…" She held her head low and closed her eyes, he could hear her sniffling. Yusuke realized she was trying to hide her tears from everyone around her. "I want that so badly." She looked down at her hands and then squeezed them shut. "I want to be just like you when I get older," She yelled at him, tears threatening to escape.

Yusuke face began to soften as he stared at his daughter, the admiration she's showing him. This was the first time she actually saw him fight, and he never saw his own daughter look at him with such pride. He lightly smiled down at her and walked over to her scooping her up into his arms and hugging her. "Fine," his said sighing with exasperation. "You're off the hook this time, but next time I won't go so easy on you."

She buried her head into his shoulder and nodded. She wasn't moving as she hugged him but Yusuke could fell the shirt of his sleeve begin to grow wet.

"Okay!" Koto's voice boomed over the speaker breaking the father and daughter bond that everyone was witnessing in the middle of the stadium. "The final match is finally here, Urameshi versus Enki!"

Yusuke set Aria down onto her feet. Her eyes were dry but slightly blood shot and she smiled up at her father and said, "If you don't win this fight I'm going to kick your ass when I see you again!"

"She has a wide variety of vocabulary words for child her age," Kujou whispered to Kurama.

"Indeed," Was Kurama's only reply, he had no idea.

Yusuke turned around and glared at all the demons around them. His lips turned up into a sneer and yelled, "If any of you lay a finger on my daughter, I swear it will be the last thing you regret in this lifetime!" And with that he walked off making the demons around back off and as he walked to battle Enki for the title of king. Aria watched her father walk off, the admiration still present in her stare when he finally disappeared through the crowd of demons.

There, she decided no matter what she was going to grow stronger than her father and it doesn't matter what it takes she was going to defeat him when it's her turn to participate in the Makai tournament.

(Okay, what do you guys thing? This will be the last "serious" story I'm going to write in the Yu Yu Hakusho fathom. When I mean serious I mean not a parody. Yes, I'm thinking about writing a parody, short of course, but I had it stuck in my head for the last couple of months. I know it's a little fast paced, tell me if I should keep the pace or slow it down a bit, give more details etc. I do plan on giving more detail once Aria grows older since most chapters will be centering around her. Also, I know that this chapter jumps around a lot between characters, which will change… hopefully.

Okay, please review if you like. The more reviews a story has the more visitors it gets, not hits, visitors. I don't base it all on how many reviews a chapter gets before I update, but on how many visitors. And the more reviews a story has the more interested people will get in wanting to read my story. So, please review! I am the number one reviewing whore as well, if you didn't know. Tell me what you think of this story.

Warning: Rating may change in future if I get that far. All depends on you guys, :)

Update: 6/6/12, I added Hiei's height thingy somewhere in the beginning of this chapter. I guess in an art book of him when Hiei reached the Makai tournament he was 5'3". Which makes me think that Hiei is a lot younger than what people speculate him as. I will be working this into my story but, to make things clear, in my story demons age a lot slower than humans, just so you know I won't be making him like fifteen or something stupid like that.)
