The New Beginning: Sequel to Tainted Blood

(I don't own the yuyu gang...and please review I would like to know what you think. Flames...anything I just want to know.

Chapter 1

(Kurama's pov)

It had just been a week ago since Dawn died in Hiei's arms saying she loved him, and other things. Hiei hadn't been himself since her burial, and every now and then I would catch a tear slide down his face.

We all missed her. Johnny had even came back for her burial, and had a hard time with it too. Johnny had gone hey wire while over here on the full moon. He had just ran out and knocked trees over in the woods creating a new clearing. No one was taking it well, and I had a feeling Hiei was still was taking it worst of all. Every time Kuwabara would even speak Dawn's name he jerked out his blade and put it to the idiot's neck saying something along the lines, "Don't even speak of her you fool!"

Johnny had just left three days ago, and the guys had left for summer break; but I had the feeling everyone would just be moping around sadly. Wherever Dawn was I knew she was happy with her parents. Both of her sides would be happy; hunting, and human loving. I just couldn't help but see and feel Hiei's hurt. He kept saying he was fine and that she was just an onna, but we all had heard him back at the vampire palace.

Now all he does is go out and train from dawn till dusk, eat, then goes to bed unless he's watching over Yukina, but not even her kindness could help him.

I just couldn't help but feel that this wasn't over in the least bit. That something would be happening soon. I shrugged it off and continued to think while reading my book. Hiei of course was on his window sill looking out with searching eyes like she would come back and that what happened wasn't real. I guess we all wanted to believe that.

(Dawn's pov: Yes she's dead, but she's at Koenma's talking to Koenma at the moment.)

Koenma was telling me how Hiei and the others were. I couldn't help but want to just throw my arms around Hiei's neck, and say it was okay. But the truth was I should've tried to stay, but I just couldn't it was hard enough to say what I had let alone try and stay. "I'm bringing you back." I looked at Koenma with wide eyes, "How you buried my body." Yes I had seen that. I guess God had other plans for me before I could enter heaven.

"Well I'm making you a new body to inhabit." I rolled my eyes, "Oh yes might Koenma...but how will they know it's me?" I asked him coldly crossing my arms. "I'm going to tell Hiei, but the bad news is you won't really remember the gang. I mean you will sorta in a way but you won't exactly. It's like your subconscious will remember, but your conscious won't remember." I gave a signal nod a little confused.

"Pretty much I'll remember them in my dreams, but won't in the waking hours?" I asked him. I got a nod from the small ruler. "I don't think that's for the best...I mean won't it just hurt Hiei worse?" Koenma shrugged, "I think he wouldn't care as long as you're back." I gave a weak smile and a small nod, "Understood how long till I can come back to the living?" I asked him this softly. I had loved seeing my parents while at Koenma's but they weren't there all the time. They would drop in and out any time so I was somewhat lonely. Now I wasn't going to get to see them. I knew I would miss my Mother's warm smile, and my Father's funny jokes and unexpected accidents: Falling over flying through walls and zooming right back out to us his face really red for seeing things he didn't want to see. I would miss them, but if this would help Hiei they would tell me to do it anyways.

"Tomorrow, and then you will be placed at the vampire palace to fulfill the prophecy." I gave a small nod. "What will I look like?" I asked him. Of course I wanted to know I mean who wouldn't right?

"Okay...you will have black hair with silver streaks in it. Your eyes will be a clear crystal baby blue color." I could see this in my mind, and it looked great. "I figured you wouldn't mind to have pale skin like you did before because you will be just like you were before you died. You know what I mean, right?" I knew what he meant. I would be a half breed with some ice powers. I gave him a small nod again.

"I gave you a different name though." I looked up at him, "What is my new name?" He gave a nod and went looking through papers again. Finally he found it after five minutes, "Selene Lunette Bloodworth...I thought it might fit for you." I gave a small smile and nod, "It will do just fine, but do the half breeds..." He cut me off, "They know who you will be and what you will look like no need to worry about that." I glared at him, "Okay Koenma but there is one thing I would like you to change about how I will look." He gave a nod and listened. "I would like something to risible who I used to be; besides my skin, and powers. I would like my eyes to be their ordinary color..." He got the idea and changed it. "Okay...you will be in the new body by tomorrow at dawn." I gave a small nod and left his office. I went to the roof and sat there to think of why it hurt Hiei so bad besides that he loved me. "I said I loved him back, I said that he made me happy. What else could I have done?" I asked myself.

I heard the door open and looked down to see Hiei come out. The sun was setting and he was coming out? I just watched him walk to the arena looking so sad and angry all at once it broke my heart. "I never meant to hurt you. Saving the world always comes with a price, and I wouldn't let you die and that be my price." I whispered so softly.

I watched him train himself till the moon was at its highest peek in the sky. I couldn't watch it anymore then. In some way he was killing himself because I wasn't there. It's all my fault. I thought going back inside to hide just incase anyone might be able to see. The only people here from the gang were Hiei and Kurama, and Koenma said there might be a chance they could see me so I hid from sight most the time.

It hurt to know how bad my death hurt all of them. Especially Johnny and Hiei they were taking it the worst of all. But of course they were.

Tomorrow it will be all better. It'll give some of them some hope. I sat there on a bed in a room Koenma sorta made for me to hide from the others. I sat there and stared at a wall saddened by the way things were going. I fell asleep like always silently crying my self to sleep.

The next morning I went into Koenma's office around five thirty. "Are you ready?" He asked me as I sighed. "Tell me one thing though...my weapons who took them?" He nodded, "Hiei has a few of them, and the rest are at the vampire palace where you will be." I gave a weak smile, "Thanks Koenma...for everything." He gave me a smile and everything went black.

The next time I woke up I was in a room with weapons all over one wall, and I couldn't remember anything. I tried my hardest but I couldn't remember anything. I knew the basics my name, and where I was but nothing more. I climbed out of my bed, and looked around.

The room had blood red walls with the most expensive silk tapestries. The room was made up of all the darkest colors in the world. The carpeting beneath my feet was black, my comforter on my bed was royal purple, and my ceiling was midnight blue with the moon phases painted on it. My window tapestries were a fiery red with black sheer curtains in between the two red pieces. It was amazing; I loved it.

I jumped as someone knocked on my bedroom door. "Princess Lunette...are you up?" I looked down to see I was wearing an expensive nightgown...the finest silk that was white. "I'm up." I called looking at the door to see who it was as it opened. A woman walked in and shut the door behind her. "Good morning Princess I was wondering when you would wake. Would you like anything to eat before training?" I gave a nod, "Who are you?" She smiled kindly to me, "I am your lady in waiting...Selina." I gave a small nod. "Thank you for asking about breakfast...I'm starving. Do you think I could cook though?" She shook her head, "You aren't supposed to cook...that's why we have cooks." I sighed as she giggled. "I understand...when do I train?" I asked looking at the ground. "As soon as you eat, and get dressed in your training clothing of course." I gave a nod and dismissed her.

I walked into my bathroom that was a joined to the room. It was filled with rather bright neutral warm colors. Peach walls, white loving tiles, a white yellow ceiling, everything consisted of such colors in this room. I passed by a mirror, and looked in. I examed my features curious. I touched my hair as my eyes landed on it; it felt smooth and soft when it looked metallic in the mirror. Black with silver streaks like dark colored tinsel for the Christmas tree. My skin pale sort of reminding me of the moon. My eyes were nothing but hot pink pools...never ending in any way. I smiled and found sharp canines in my mouth. I covered my mouth with my left hand. Shock overwhelmed me for a moment then I relaxed realizing that this must be normal.

I smiled once more, and moved to the bathtub. I turned on the water, and put the stopper in the drain. The water warm and loving ran over the skin on my hand. I then jerked my hand out from under the water, and wiped it off on the towel that hung near the tub.

I stripped myself of my night gown and got in the water. It felt so good as the water ran still. Soon I had to turn the water off other wise the water would've overflowed the tub. I sighed as I felt like something was missing from my heart, but I couldn't remember anything. Nothing from the previous night...nothing of who my parents were...nothing. It felt horrible not to be able to remember.

I finished my bath and wrapped the towel around my body. I walked into my room my hair dripping with every step I took. My mind wondered as I made my way to my dresser, and opened a draw to find clothes with holes in them, and tattered. These must be my training clothes. I thought to myself pulling out a pair of black shorts, and a white shirt. I grabbed some underwear from another draw, and put them on. I finished putting on my clothing, and dried my hair a little. I walked out of my room, and down a hallway. I ended up at the top of this grand staircase, and looked down at people walking to and fro. Once they noticed I was there they stopped and bowed to me. I bowed my head to them, and with that they continued with what they were doing. Selina came up to me smiling, "I was just coming to get you Princess. Your breakfast is done." She showed me to the dinning room and turned to leave, but I grabbed her wrist.

"Will you not eat with me?" I asked her. "No...I've already eaten...and I have some things to do Princess." I nodded sadly. I didn't want to be alone. I felt alone as it was already and I had no idea why. It was bugging me so, but no answer came to me that even gave me a hint of why. I let go of her wrist hesitantly, and she walked away after smiling to me.

I sat there and looked down at my food, and drink. MY food consisted of bacon, eggs, pancakes, and sausage. My drink was a think red liquid in a wine glass. I picked up the glass I took a sip, and realized what it was; blood. I put the glass down my eyes wide. What am I...why did they give me this instead of water? I was confused. "Princess is it not to your liking?" I looked beside me to see a tall male with fiery red hair and pale frosty blue eyes. He had pale skin like me, and teeth like me. "What are we?" I asked him standing up and moving a way from him. "We are half breeds...vampires." I looked at him questioningly. "Of course...We are half vampire...a thing that drinks the blood of others, and half something else." I nodded still scared. The blood tasted of white wine, but this was shocking. Why didn't I remember what I was? Why didn't I know that if I was one? I shook my head and timidly took my seat again receiving a smile from the young man beside me.

"I am sorry for my actions." I said softly. "It's quite alright Princess. Sometimes we forget things." I nodded distant from this world hiding in my thoughts as I began to eat. He left me alone in the room, and went back to do something...whatever he did. Once finished with my...drink and food I stood and left the room. I didn't say a word to the people who passed me saying good morning. I walked out of the palace to find two people standing off to the left of it. "Why good morning Princess. Are you ready to train?" The one with black hair, and red eyes asked me. I walked over to them, and said yes. "Glad to hear it." The other said. He had red hair and golden hazel looking eyes. "And may I ask who you are?" They nodded. "I'm Killer...and this is Blaze." The black head said. (Black head is Killer and red head is Blaze if you didn't understand.) They threw me a blade for me to catch. But when I almost had it I dropped it. "You have to catch it...throw it back." The red head said somewhat rudely. I snarled at him throwing it at his head. He didn't grab it in time so it hit his head. He fell back and rubbed his head.

"Nice hit Princess." I gave a cruel smirk. "Just call me Selene okay?"

"Yes ma'am." Killer said as Blaze stood up the blade in his hand. "Try to catch this!" Blaze said throwing the blade at me. This time I grabbed it and held on to it. "Can we fight now?" I asked grinning sadistically. Killer nodded picking up a sword that was already unsheathed. I unsheathed mine, and throw the sheath to the ground. Blaze stepped out of the way seeing a fire in my eyes, and called the fight to start. Killer and I charged at each other, but as Killer swung his blade at my right side I jumped to the left to be right beside him. I kicked him in the side sending him into a small but sturdy tree. I ran over to him to see if he was okay. He smiled at me when I got with in arms reach, and flung me into the tree placing his blade to my neck.

"Nice try Selene." I smirked as I placed the blade at his stomach giving him a small poke with it so he would notice. "Dido." I said slyly. He gave a small nod, and got off me.

WE trained with fighting skills in blade wielding, and hand to hand combat. We trained all the way through lunch on into the afternoon until dusk. "Enough! I'm finished for today." I stated. They gave a nod. "I can't believe you trained with us till now. I figured you would want to stop at lunch." Blaze stated wiping the sweat off his brow. "Who would've guessed you were this good." Killer said smiling at me. I bowed to them as they did to me, "I'll see you guys later I guess." They nodded and walked off as I walked to through the front doors of the palace. I walked in to see Selina standing there waiting for me. "Dinner is ready, Princess so hurry and get ready."

"Can't I just wear what I am wearing right now?" I asked her. "No...We are expecting some guests." I gave a signal nod and ran up the stairs and into my room.

I have to give a big thank you to Yuki Amida, and wise-white-wolf for reviewing Tainted Blood. This is the sequel so of course I am saying thank you here. Pixie
