Chapter 10: Christmas in Alaska Part 3
Pulling into the trailer park, all three passengers just sat there in silence. They continued driving until Sandy the demon woman pulled up to a trailer that's located next to a thick brush with tons of snow capped spruce trees. Sandy turned off the radio and the heater and pulled her keys out of the ignition. She, Jorge, and Shunjun hopped out of the red jeep and approached the residence.
"It's not much but, its home when I'm not in Anchorage."
Jorge smiled, "Kind of reminds me of my mom's place."
Shunjun chuckled, "It's a lot nicer than what I live in back in Spirit World."
They walked up the porch steps and the young imp demon unlocked the door, opened it, stepped inside and turned on the lights. The blue ogre and the young SDF captain went inside and shut the door behind them. They looked around and it was fairly nice on the inside with leather furniture, a big screen TV, a small kitchen, wooden dining room set, and a foosball table in the dining room.
Sandy removed her camouflage baseball cap, her green and red windbreaker, snow boots, and her mittens, "Make yourselves at home. The couch is also a pullout bed so; one of you can sleep on that or the recliner."
Jorge and Shunjun took off their shoes, hats, and coats while Sandy pulled out the couch into its bed form. She left the room for a couple of minutes and came back with a couple of pillows and blankets.
Shunjun then asked the blue ogre, "So, which one do you want?"
Jorge shrugged his big blue shoulders, "I guess I'll sleep on the couch bed thing. Or do you want it?"
The blue haired soldier gave him a small smile, "I'm cool with either."
The two men walked into the living room and Jorge sat down on the couch bed and Shunjun on the recliner and they both found them to be surprisingly comfortable. The blue ogre yawned from his exhaustion with Shunjun stretching his arms above his head.
Sandy too yawned putting her hand over her mouth, "The bathroom is the first door to your right in the hallway and my bedroom is at the end. If you guys need any extra blankets or pillows, don't be afraid to ask."
Jorge and Shunjun smiled and nodded with the SDF captain saying, "Thanks for doing this."
The imp demon smiled, "You're welcome and goodnight guys."
She then turned and walked down the hallway to her bedroom. As Jorge and Shunjun laid down, Jorge couldn't but ask, "Which places should we start looking tomorrow?"
Shunjun pulled the blanket over himself, "Maybe we can start at the local hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts."
Jorge just stared at the dark ceiling still worrying about his friend and boss. He sighed and said, "I hope they don't find Koenma and Jasmine before we do. I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to him and it would tear poor Jasmine up too."
Shunjun sat up and looked down at the couch bed, "Jorge, just relax don't try to think negative. As long as we keep our cool and don't bump into trouble ourselves, we'll find them."
The blue ogre sighed, still feeling concern for his young boss and the young demon hunter, "I know but, it's really hard. I have taken care of Koenma since he was a newborn. You know that he's been dealing with this kind of bullshit since he was in Spirit World Kindergarten right?"
Shunjun removed his large hooped earrings, "No, I didn't know that. When did it first happen?"
Jorge sat up, looked at his blue hands, and began to pick at his long fingernails, "The very first incident happened two weeks before his graduation. It was during his gym class final exam with the hedge maze. Six shaped shifting demon assassins were sent after him. They knocked out three of his classmates and tried to kill Koashura and Kotennyo. Koenma wound up teaming up with them. He told me that Koashura and Kotennyo killed the ones that looked like themselves but, he claims that he doesn't remember how the third one died."
"Do Koashura and Kotennyo know?"
Jorge nodded, "Yeah, they witnessed it. It was Kotennyo who explained it to me during her graduation party. She said that Koenma seemed like he was in some sort of a tranz and he dissolved it with his spirit energy."
Shunjun just stared at him for a minute speechless until he found his voice, "I thought Koenma didn't have any offensive skills at all."
The blue ogre stared off into space for a minute and then replied, "Neither did I but, I kind of feel like that part of him is locked away for some weird reason. It seems like when he falls into a rage when he needs to defend himself or someone he cares for, Koenma blacks out and well, let's just say that sorry son of a bitch who tried to cause him or his loved ones harm pays for it dearly."
Hearing that, the only thought that went through the blue SDF soldier's head was, "Holy shit." He didn't know how to reply to this. He and Jorge just sat there in awkward silence until they both lie back down and fell asleep.
His beautifully enchanting voice rang out all around the concert hall. Makeup adorned his handsome face to keep him from looking washed out under the stage lights. His song was interrupted by the sound of an organ playing. Koenma quit singing and looked around. He walked off the stage to investigate and find the source.
Seeing that no one was near the organ that was nearest to the stage, he began to wonder where it might be. The sound of the organ continued to echo and leaving the stage area of the concert hall, the sound grew louder. Koenma walked down the long winding hallway as the sound got louder and louder.
The young prince reached a wooden door and he could hear the sound behind it. He grasped on the old brass handle and pushed the door open. Koenma stopped in his tracks seeing someone sitting at an old organ. It was a young woman with long curly brown hair wearing a long black cloak with long black evening gown and long black gloves that went down from the middle of her slender upper arms to her small dainty hands.
She sat facing away from him and Koenma couldn't see her face. The prince slowly approached her and then spoke, "Jasmine? Jasmine, is that you?"
The young woman stopped playing the organ and she turned around to face him. Koenma gasped seeing her face. She did indeed look like Jasmine but, half of her face was covered up by a white mask and Koenma could see a little bit of scar tissue that was hidden beneath it. Red lipstick and dark eye shadow, mascara, and eyeliner adorned her face and she wore a black velvet choker around her slender neck.
The phantom woman stood up and she gave him a sweet yet sadistic looking smile. She brought up her hand to him and began to sing in a very pretty operatic soprano voice, "I am your angel of music. Come to me angel of music."
Koenma just stared at the Jasmine phantom and she sang out once more, "Insolent tyrant that fool, the man of hatred. Relishing in his evil deeds, selfish man, that corrupt and evil king, destroying the lives of the innocent."
The young prince began to sing in his operatic tenor/baritone voice being that he is in his adult form, "Angel, I am with you. Please stay with me by my side. Guide me. Angel, I am weak, please my queen, help me. Protect me at last Mistress."
The Jasmine phantom then sang back in reply, "Prince in distress, I'll protect you. From those horrible ones that will cause you harm. Take my gentle hand and I will lead you, away from harm."
Koenma began to slowly walk towards her and began to sing, "Angel of music, my beautiful guardian, hide me away, milady. Angel of music, hide me my lover, protect me please my angel."
As the prince walked closer to her, the Jasmine phantom then sang, repeating, "I am your angel of music. Come to me, angel of music."
Suddenly, Koenma could hear the voice of his father yelling behind the door, "Who's in there? Son, open the door. Open the door now!"
Ignoring King Yama's order, Koenma continued to walk toward the Jasmine phantom as she sang her next line, "I am your angel of music. Come to me, angel of music."
King Yama continued to pound on the door, screaming at his only son. The prince continued to ignore the old tyrant and took the Jasmine phantom's small dainty hand. The elder god continued to yell and scream for his son while banging on the door. Koenma continued to ignore him as the Jasmine phantom led continued to lead him to a mirror.
Getting closer to it, the young prince realized that it wasn't a mirror but a secret passage way. Once stepping inside it seals off behind him but, he didn't pay attention as he kept his eyes on the lovely phantom woman before him. The sounds of his father's voice and him banging on the wooden door had disappeared as they walked deeper into the secret passage way.
They continued walking until they reached another door. The Jasmine phantom opened the door and a blinding light shined into his eyes. Koenma put his hand up and soon his eyes adjusted and saw that he was in Spirit World's local dive bar, The Fallen Angel. He put his hand down and looking around, he saw that he and the Jasmine phantom weren't the only occupants.
Among them there was Jorge, Kotennyo, Koashura, Shunjun, Botan, Ayame, Genkai, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, and the bar's bartender Hector and his sister and Jorge's lady friend Christine also were there in attendance. The other three members of his band, Exit Strategy, Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun were on the bar's stage waiting for him.
The Jasmine phantom gently guided him up to the stage that had two microphones waiting for them. The young prince wondered why there were two instead of one and his question was answered when Shunjun raised his drumsticks in the air, began to tap them and counted to three. He began his drumbeat and Jorge and Koashura followed suit with their bass and guitar riffs starting the riff to the song, "Land of Confusion" by Genesis.
The Jasmine phantom picked up the microphone and brought it up to her red painted lips and began to sing the first verse in a less operatic but still pretty sounding soprano voice. She faced Koenma when she belted out the words:
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
The prince picked up the second microphone, grasping it in his hands, brought it up to his mouth and sang the second part of the first verse. Koenma too sang in his lovely tenor/baritone voice in a less operatic way as his enchanting voice rang out around the bar:
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night
Gazing into each other's brown eyes they began to go into the first part of the first chorus:
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?
The other occupants, that weren't playing in the band, Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, Hiei (who was being forced on by Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara), Kurama, Hector, Christine, Genkai, Botan, Ayame, Kotennyo, Shizuru, and Yukina began to dance ballet like steps and sang the background parts as Koenma and the Jasmine phantom began to sing the second part of the first chorus:
Well this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
Koenma and the Jasmine phantom quit singing for a minute while their friends just danced. The dancers cleared out to dance into the background while they sang out the next verse:
Ooh, Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
The bar's patrons took out their lighters enjoying the performance and began to slowly wave them in the air.
This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion
The Jasmine phantom gently took Koenma's hand and they both sang the second part of the second chorus:
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
They then put their microphones back on their stands and put on the headset versions and began to dance ballet like, just like how their friends were in the background and they then began to sing the song's bridge still dancing with each other:
I remember long ago when the sun was shining
Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night
And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight, so long ago
Koenma and the Jasmine phantom continued their little ballet dance until they distanced themselves from each other. They still danced separately as they sang the final verse:
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep
Koenma then joined the guys' group and the Jasmine phantom joined the girls' group and they continued their ballet like dance as they belted out the first part of the final chorus:
Too many men, there's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see, this is a land of confusion?
The two of them danced in their respective groups as they sang the second part of the chorus:
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
Koenma and the Jasmine phantom then reunited and danced their ballet dance together as their dance groups followed suit. Their friends continued to dance next to them singing the background parts as the prince and the phantom demon hunter sang out the last part of the final chorus in such gusto that it was quite dramatic and held onto each other's hands and gazing to each other's brown eyes as they did:
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to
They all danced as Jorge, Shunjun, and Koashura finished off the last part of the song's riff. Just then the bar's door burst open and before Koenma could see who it was, he woke up in his hotel room hearing the sound of the shower running. Opening his eyes, he looked next to him to see that Jasmine wasn't there and hearing the shower, he removed the blanket off of his naked body and hopped out of bed and walked over to the bathroom.
Entering the steamy room, Koenma could see the naked silhouette of his lovely human girlfriend behind the steamy wet glass. He grasped the metal handle and slid the door open and walked in sliding it behind him. Jasmine turned around giving him a bright smile.
"Good morning sleepyhead."
Koenma gave her a quick kiss and replied, "Good morning, mind if I join you?"
Jasmine sweetly giggled, "Nope, I was hoping you'd wake up and keep me company."
The prince smiled and then squirts some shampoo into his hand after wetting his luscious brown hair down and put the creamy vanilla scented substance into his hair. After rinsing it out, he opened his eyes and picked up Jasmine's purple loofa and asked her, "Would you like me to wash your back?"
The young psychic gave him a sweet smile and nodded, "Yeah, I would like that."
She turned around and Koenma squeezed some of the rose scented body soap on it and began to wash her back. She closed her eyes at his gentle touch and then said, "Are you excited about going out with my grandpa today?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes, I feel really bad about not getting you a present yet. I am sorry I forgot to do so before leaving Mushiori City."
Jasmine sweetly giggled, "It's alright, we have had a lot of stuff going on and since my semester kept me busy, I didn't get you one yet either but, after baking pies and cookies, I'll go out and find you one."
Putting the loofa down and letting his lover rinse the body soap off her back, Koenma then gently kissed her shoulders and the side of her neck. Jasmine closed her eyes again and arched her neck back when he began to kiss, nip, and suck on the milky white flesh of that sensitive spot again.
"Mmmmmm…Koenma." She moaned.
He stopped kissing her neck and Jasmine turned around, cupped the prince's handsome face in her small dainty hands, stood on her tip toes and sweetly kissed his luscious lips. Koenma wrapped his strong arms around her slender waist, bringing her closer to him to where their wet naked bodies pressed against each other's and returned the kiss. He deepened it by slipping his tongue into her mouth; their tongues caressing each other's again, making the young woman moan in response.
They then parted and gazed into each other's eyes. Jasmine put her hands on Koenma's broad shoulders and gave him a sweet smile. He smiled in return and asked her, "Are you in the mood to make love or do we not have any time?"
The young psychic giggled, "We don't have any time. My grandfather is going to pick us up in a half an hour for breakfast." She then leaned into his ear and whispered seductively pushing her small perky breasts against his toned chest, "How about I make it up to you later?"
Feeling her warm breathe in his ear, Koenma bit his lip to suppress a squeal at how good it felt and just gave a silent nod in return. Feeling his cock hardening, he tried to hide it from her and feeling his erection on her leg, Jasmine gave him a darkly seductive smile.
The prince could see the naughty gleam in her large brown eyes. Not saying a word, his human lover then took his hard cock into her hand and began to gently stroke it. Koenma moaned at her gentle touch.
Jasmine licked her lips and said in a low and sexy voice, "Does that feel good my prince?"
Koenma nodded and then choked out, "Y…yes."
Not saying another word, Jasmine then got down on her knees and still gently stroked along his cock's hard shaft. She could see precum oozing out of the tip and she looked up at him, "Let me take care of this. After all, you've given me such great lovin' for these past couple of days and it's only fair if I pay you back in kind. Don't you agree?"
Looking down at his curly haired seductress, Koenma then bit his lip and nodded his head up and down as in a yes. Jasmine licked her small pink lips, her brown eyes sparkling. She then licked the tip of his cock, admiring his taste.
Koenma gave a low groan at the small amount of pleasure it brought him. The young demon hunter took the head of his penis into her mouth and gently suckled on it making Koenma gasp, "Jasmine!"
She then swirled her tongue around the head and took the whole thing into her mouth. Jasmine then took in some of the shaft and Koenma could see her bobbing her head up and down at a steady pace. Hearing her prince give a lewd moan; she felt her pussy getting wet.
Oh how she wanted to make him scream and have him cum in her mouth and the thought really turned her on. Jasmine took his cock out of her mouth with a loud popping sound and Koenma whined in protest. She looked up and she could see the pleading look on his handsome face.
Giving a sadistic chuckle, Jasmine then licked his cock from its base to its head like as if she was licking a lollipop. She suckled on the head again before taking him back into her mouth with more of his length this time.
"Oh Jasmine that feels so good; please don't stop."
She kept up her slow steady pace and to Koenma, it was like torture but, it felt so damn good. He arched his neck back moaning at how good it felt having his human lover's mouth on his cock.
Still keeping up her slow steady pace, Jasmine then looked up and she then got a devious idea in her head. She then thought of a way to make him cum hard but first, she wanted to try something. Once again, she took his cock out of her mouth and began to gentle stroke it with her hand.
The young woman then leaned in and gave his balls a gentle lick making him squeak in surprise. Jasmine then giggled like a schoolgirl and then asked in such a seductively devious voice, "You like that don't you?"
"Y…yes m…my queen." He whimpered.
"Good."
She then took one of his balls into her mouth and then began to gently suck on it while still stroking his rock hard cock. Koenma then cried out, "Oh god Jasmine!"
She gently suckled on it a little more before giving the other one the same treatment. The prince's moans grew louder and lewder and then Jasmine stopped and then shifted her attention back to his cock once again licking it from its base to its head and then taking it into her mouth.
This time she got him all the way to the back of her throat and then went back to her slow and steady pace. Feeling his orgasm begin to build, Koenma then moaned, "Oh my queen I l…love y…you."
She kept up the same slow agonizing but pleasurable pace on his cock and then he let out another surprised squeal when she began to gently massage his balls. Koenma looked down at her and then ran his long fingers through her soft yet wet brown curls and sang out her name once again, "Jasmine, oh Jasmine."
With his cock still in her mouth and his balls in her hand, Jasmine looked up at him giving him that naughty twinkle in her eye and seeing that, he knew was close and he began to beg for his release, "J…Jasmine p…please."
She gave him a smirk and then quickened her pace a little bit and gave his balls a slightly harder squeeze. After a few moments, Koenma then felt his orgasm then wash over him and he threw his head back and cried out his lover's name as he released his hot seed into her mouth, "JASMINE!"
She swallowed everything he gave and licked him clean. Jasmine let go of his balls and took her royal lover's cock out of her mouth. She then stood back up licking her lips and watched Koenma catch his breath as he tried to calm his heart rate from the intense orgasm she just gave him.
Once regaining his strength, he then looked over to his human lover catching his breath. She gave him a sly smirk which made him blush thinking about what they just did. Jasmine then said sweetly, "Did you enjoy that?"
Koenma then got his breathing under control, nodded, and then replied, "Yes, yes I did my queen. I love you and I promise I will pay you back."
"I love you too Koenma." She then smiled and then winked at him, "I am looking forward to it."
They then finished bathing, turned off the water, hopped out of the bathtub, dried themselves off, and then got dressed. About thirty or so minutes later, Koenma and Jasmine were watching TV together talking about how stupid the show that they were watching was and then they heard a knock on the door.
The young demon hunter walked over to the door and peeked through the peep hole to see that her grandfather, Demetrius McAlpin was waiting on the other side. Jasmine unlocked the door, "Hi grandpa, good morning."
"Good morning Jasmine."
She let him come inside and Demetrius shifted his attention to Koenma, "Good morning Koenma."
The prince turned off the TV, "Good morning Demetrius." He picked up his purple headband and slipped it over his forehead even though the old man saw his "Jr" mark.
Demetrius eyed him curiously, "Jr huh, I hope you don't mind if I ask this but, is that a tattoo or a birthmark?"
Koenma stared at him blankly for a minute and replied, "I was born with it and it signifies my title and place as Prince of the Spirit World."
The elderly demon hunter then replied, "Is that right? My wife and I did sense that you are a god but, our granddaughter didn't mention that she was dating royalty."
Jasmine sighed, "I didn't tell you because, I didn't want to make such a big deal about it and I thought mom already told you."
"No she didn't. You know your mother, she doesn't tell me or Lydia anything."
The young woman chuckled, "Good because, it's not that big of a deal."
Wanting to change the subject, Demetrius then asked the couple, "So, are you two ready to go to the Totem?"
Koenma raised an eyebrow, "The Totem?"
Jasmine picked up her winter coat and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "The Totem Inn, that's where we're going for breakfast. Their restaurant is one of the best in town. You'll love it."
Koenma felt his stomach rumble being in fact very hungry. He put on his winter coat, hat, crocheted mittens, red scarf and his snow boots and followed the two demon hunters out of the hotel to the parking lot.
Jasmine then tapped him on the shoulder and then opened up her purse. She took out his pacifier and then asked him, "Do you want to store some more of your spirit energy today? Grandpa don't say a word, please."
The prince grabbed his pacifier and put it into his pocket, "Maybe later; I don't want to draw any more unwanted attention to myself."
Jasmine smiled sweetly at her lover, "Okay but, you need to sometime today because; you need to for the Mafukan."
Koenma chuckled thinking that she couldn't be any cuter right now, "I really appreciate that you have my best interests at heart and I thank you for that." He then tilted her face up to his and gently nuzzled his nose against hers, "I love you my queen."
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl at her pet name, "I love you too my prince."
Demetrius watched as this inhuman man sweetly kissed his granddaughter. He was beginning to like him seeing as how much he adored her and treated Jasmine with such love and respect.
Koenma and Jasmine then parted and she then asked her royal lover, "Do you want shotgun?"
The young prince raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Jasmine giggled at how cute she thought his confusion was, "It's Human World slang for front seat."
Koenma chuckled, "Oh, well, I don't really care where I sit."
The young demon hunter stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek, "You can sit in the front. The back is a bit too cramped for your long legs so; I'll sit in the back."
"I can just switch to my other form if you want the front seat."
Jasmine then looked at him with wide eyes. She didn't want him to switch to his other more degrading form with the fear that her former childhood friend Kalem and the other demon assassins might be watching. True, that she only seen him like that once during his birthday party back in October and it didn't really bother her being that she had seen and been around weirder things in her life and the fact that Koenma said he hated that form and wanted to give it up someday like Koashura and Kotennyo did with theirs.
The only thing she had a problem with was trying to keep him safe and so far since they arrived in Valdez, it has been proving to be more of a challenge. Jasmine loved Koenma and she was willing to lay her life on the line for him and his safety and happiness is what mattered the most to her right now.
She shook her head and then replied, "No Koenma, don't do that. What if Kalem and the other demon assassins see you?"
Koenma cutely scratched the back of his head and he then realized that she was right, "You have a point. Okay, I'll take the front seat."
The two humans and one god got into Demetrius's red Buick and then drove down the road to the Totem Inn. As they pulled up to the wooden building, Koenma looked out of his window to see the tallest totem pole he has seen so far and stared at it with complete awe.
Demetrius chuckled at the prince's curious reaction, "What has peaked your interest?"
Before Koenma could reply, Jasmine interjected, "Grandpa, I think he's looking at the totem pole. Koenma has been like this since we got off the plane in Anchorage. Everything we have seen so far has really struck his curiosity."
The old psychic once again chuckled and then replied, "Well, if that's the case, would you like me to snap a picture of you two in front of it before we go inside?"
The prince nodded, "Yeah." He then reached into his pocket and took out his camera and handed it to Demetrius. They all hopped out of the vehicle and Koenma and Jasmine ran over to stand in front of the totem pole.
Then without warning, the young god lifted Jasmine up bridal style and she began to start cracking up. She then gave him a quick kiss and they both smiled like complete dorks while her grandfather took the picture. Koenma put her back down and he retrieved his camera before they all went inside the restaurant.
They approached the seating hostess and she then asked, "How many in your party?"
Demetrius then replied, "We are already joining a large one that's waiting for us; reservation for McAlpin."
The ordinary human looked over the reservation book until she found the name, "Ah McAlpin, follow me."
Koenma followed the two demon hunters to a large table that already had the other members of the family there, Jasmine's parents, siblings, her sister's fiancé, grandmother and five people that the prince didn't recognize. Demetrius sat down at the head of the table and Koenma and Jasmine sat down on two extra seats next to the five new people.
All three of them took off their coats, mittens, hats and scarves as they were handed their menus. As the young prince was looking for something he would like to eat, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder and he then put it down and was greeted by his human lover smiling at him.
"Koenma, let me introduce you to these five people; this is my aunt Demetra Sweeting," she gestured to a heavyset woman with dyed black hair and blue eyes that were hidden under her glasses, "my cousin Julia and her girlfriend Katherine" she then gestured to a young woman with dyed blue hair and piercings and another woman with short dyed red hair and a lip ring, "my cousin Wendy," she then gestured to a heavyset young woman with long straight brown hair and glasses, "and last but not least, my cousin Demetri" she gestured to a tall thin young man with a small amount of facial hair and long brown hair.
"Aunt Demetra, Julia, Katherine, Wendy, Demetri, this is my boyfriend, Koenma."
The prince smiled and nodded politely, "Hello, it's nice to meet you guys."
Sensing his aura, Aunt Demetra then asked, "You're a god correct?"
Koenma nodded, "Yeah, you guys are spiritually aware too?"
The middle aged psychic nodded, "Yep, so is all three of my kids. My oldest daughter's girlfriend isn't, she's normal like my niece's fiancé and my brother-in-law. Janine is my older sister and like her and her kids, we are demon hunters and we have been defending this town a whole lot more since she, and my other four siblings left."
Koenma sipped on his water, "I hope you don't mind if I ask this but, where is Mr. Sweeting?"
At the mention of him, Aunt Demetra rolled her blue eyes, "Don't know, don't care. I divorced his ass years ago when I was pregnant with Demetri. The son of a bitch used to beat me and my daughters and it got to the point of where I needed to protect them so; one night, I gathered up Julia and Wendy, left him, and filed for divorce. I haven't heard from him unless he pays for child support and even though he has visitation rights, he never sees them because he claims that he's "too busy". The nerve of some people but, who gives a damn about his dumb ass, we have been getting along fine without him. Also, never move down south and away from Alaska, people down there aren't as friendly."
The young prince sipped from his water again and then replied, "It's great that you guys got out of that bad situation. No one should ever have to go through with that kind of thing especially children."
Aunt Demetra smiled at the prince's compassion and sympathy, "Thank you, you're so sweet."
They then ordered their breakfast and then Jasmine decided to ask her aunt, "Demetra, have you, Julia, Wendy, Demetri, and grandma and grandpa noticed anything weird going on lately?"
Aunt Demetra was about to take a bite from her sausage and put her fork down, "Why do you ask Jasmine?"
Jasmine stared at her plate of pancakes for a minute and then replied, "Because, Koenma and I came across a gang of demons yesterday and one of them was an old childhood friend of mine and he didn't seem like himself; almost as if he was brainwashed or something."
The four demon hunters and the one ordinary human just sat there staring at her blankly and then her cousin Wendy spoke up, "I have."
The curly haired psychic blinked, "You have? What have you noticed lately Wendy?"
Wendy took a deep breath and then replied to her cousin, "Lately, some of the local demons have been disappearing and we have been investigating it but, every lead we had just lead us nowhere and by the time we found those missing demons, they were different."
Koenma shoveled his eggs in his mouth and washed them down with his orange juice. He eyed them curiously and asked, "They were different how?"
Cousin Wendy played with her fork for a minute, "Well, when we found them, they seemed like they were in some sort of a daze when they committed horrible acts that they were never known to do. Yeah, we have had some dangerous demons here but, those ones knew what they were doing, the ones who are usually peaceful didn't."
Koenma and Jasmine looked at each other for a minute and back at the aunt and three cousins and the curly haired woman found her voice, "You guys didn't kill them did you?"
Aunt Demetra and her three kids just stared at their plates of food and then Cousin Julia sighed and said, "I'm afraid we had to." She looked back up at her cousin and Jasmine could see the look of remorse in her eyes.
Julia put some strands of her dyed blue hair behind her ear, "Jasmine, we weren't given a choice. They wouldn't come around and we know you would have tried to reason with them and helped them in any way you could but Jasmine, it's not that simple."
Gripping onto her fork in her small dainty hand, Jasmine began to feel it shake. She knew she had to keep Koenma safe but, she didn't want to kill anyone she grew up with and she began to wrack her brain on finding a solution to both help Kalem and keep her royal lover safe. The thought of killing someone she once got along with in her youth was beginning to tear her up inside.
Jasmine was soon brought back to reality when she felt someone gently touch her hand and she looked over to see Koenma give a smile in comfort. She returned the smile the best she could muster and the prince then leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss. Meanwhile on the other side of town, Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy the imp demon sat down on the snow bank to rest. They had spent the last couple of hours scouring the small harbor town for the prince and the young demon hunter and they were beginning to get a bit frustrated.
Jorge let out a loud sigh and began to feel his anxiety shoot up, "This is hopeless. If we don't find them soon, who knows what will happen and if something did happen to Koenma, I don't know how I'd….I'd…"
Shunjun put his hand on the blue ogre's shoulder to comfort him, "Hey relax, we'll find them. We just need to regroup." He then shifted his attention to Sandy, "So, do you know of any place Jasmine would go to often? You have known her longer than us, so you must have some sort of an idea."
Sandy then contemplatively scratched her chin, "Well, I don't really know anymore because, she hasn't lived here in seven years but, if I were to guess, I say we should go check her grandparents' place next."
The blue ogre shifted his attention to her, "Do you know where that is?"
The young imp demon nodded, "Yep, that's on Copper Street. I'll lead the way, come on."
She got up and Jorge and Shunjun then followed suit. As hard as it was, Jorge tried not to think about the worst case scenario but, he tried to think positively, thinking that Koenma and his human lover were there safe. He put his blue hands into his pockets and proceeded to follow Shunjun and Sandy across a bridge.
Meanwhile, Koenma, Jasmine and the young demon hunter's family had finished off their breakfast and it was time for them to separate, so Koenma could go out and find Jasmine a present for Christmas. They walked out of the Totem Inn hand in hand with her family a few paces ahead of them and the young curly haired woman stood on her tip toes and gave her royal lover a kiss on the cheek.
"Have fun with my grandpa and I'll see you guys at their house when you're finished."
She then shifted her attention to Demetrius, "Grandpa, you keep an eye on him and make sure to keep him safe from any harm."
The elderly demon hunter gave his granddaughter a reassuring nod, "Don't worry Jasmine, we'll be okay. Tell you what, how about Niles goes with us for extra protection."
Hearing that Niles ended his conversation with Cousin Demetri, "Yeah sure, I'm down with that. Koenma's pretty cool. We had a great time watching and geeking out over Star Wars last night."
The prince chuckled remembering the fun time he had with Niles and William the previous night, "We sure did." He then gave Jasmine a sweet kiss, "I'm going to be okay Jasmine. Please don't get yourself too worked up in worrying."
Koenma and Jasmine gazed into each other's brown eyes and she gave him a small smile and nodded, "Okay. I love you Koenma."
"I love you too."
They then shared a deep and passionate kiss. The whole family then ooed and awed at the sight in front of them and after a little bit, the lovers then parted. Koenma kissed Jasmine's hand and they then separated as Koenma climbed into Demetrius's red Buick and Jasmine hopped into her grandmother's grey van.
The prince sat in the back because Niles was a bit taller than him and he now knew why Jasmine wanted him to sit in the front passenger seat earlier. He debated whether or not switch to his toddler form so he'd be more comfortable but, deciding not to risk embarrassment or the chance that the demon assassins might be watching; he just stayed in his tall and handsome adult body.
Niles turned on the radio and Demetrius asked him as they were pulling out of the parking lot, "So Koenma, where do you want to go first?"
Still not knowing the area or any of the businesses, the prince shrugged his broad shoulders, "I don't know, do you guys have any good recommendations?"
Niles then spoke up, "Why don't we go to Jade Mountain Music or the jewelry store or the general store? They have some cool stuff in them that Jasmine likes so, why don't we search there first?"
Taking the blond man's word for it, Koenma then nodded, "Okay, why don't we go to the general store, then the music one, and then the jewelry store."
About five minutes later, they pulled up to a white two story building and Demetrius parked the Buick right in front of a business that that a sign with big red letters that read:
General Store
The three men went inside to look around. Koenma could see several shelves that had stuffed animals like Beanie Babies, all kind of trinkets like snow globes and figurines, dried snacks and many other things. There was also a coffee counter in the back of the store and the smell of coffee wafted the air. The prince really liked how this place seemed to have such a cozy laid back atmosphere and he began to look around for something that Jasmine would like.
After looking around the store for a little bit, he couldn't find anything that he felt would be a perfect gift for lover. Koenma then found Niles and Demetrius at the coffee counter and asked them, "Are you guys ready to go?"
Demetrius sipped on his coffee, "Didn't find anything?"
The prince shook his head, "No."
They then left the general store and arrived at the Jade Mountain Music store and began to look around for a CD that Jasmine may like. Koenma looked around the pop music section, while Niles searched the rock section and Demetrius was currently in the oldies section looking for an Elvis CD that his wife Lydia wanted for Christmas. After looking around the pop section, Koenma made his way over to the new releases and picked up a CD that he didn't remember ever being in Jasmine's CD book.
"Who says that I have to only get her one present?" the prince thought to himself.
Niles approached him, "Found something?" Koenma shifted his attention to the tall blond psychic and nodded, "Yep, I don't think Jasmine has this one yet."
Niles read the front, "TLC: CrazySexyCool. I don't think she has that one. She'll love it."
They left the record store after paying for their CDs about ten minutes later. While they were driving out of the parking lot, Demetrius then asked, "Are you satisfied with what you got her or do you want to go to the jewelry store next?"
Koenma looked up from reading the song track on the back of the TLC CD case, "Yeah, I was thinking about getting Jasmine more than one gift."
The elderly psychic chuckled keeping his eye on the road, "You like to spoil her don't you?"
The prince laughed, "Well, it's Christmas and I figured, why the hell not? Hell, she spoiled me on my birthday by getting me The Hobbit and the entire series of The Lord of the Rings for my birthday."
Five minutes later, the three men arrived at the jewelry store and walked inside. Koenma looked around to see so much beautiful handcrafted jewelry ranging from rings to necklaces to earrings. They had every gemstone imaginable and there were some that didn't have any like the ones that were made with jade.
The ordinary human at the counter then asked the young prince, "Hello sir, how can I help you today?"
Koenma nodded in greeting and replied, "Just looking around."
The ordinary human jeweler smiled, "Okay, just let me know if you would like to see something."
Koenma, Niles, and Demetrius looked around the store for about fifteen minutes until something caught the prince's eye. Sitting on one of the displays, was a lovely silver snowflake pendant with a single small diamond in the center that hung on a silver chain.
Looking at it, Koenma's brown eyes began to sparkle thinking about how lovely that necklace would look around Jasmine's neck. He began to fantasize about her reaction of him giving her the said necklace and her new CD.
Koenma was soon brought back to reality when he felt someone touch his shoulder. He quickly turned around to see Demetrius smiling under his thick graying mustache, "Found something that you think Jasmine would like?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes." He then shifted his attention to the ordinary human jeweler, "May I see this snowflake necklace please?"
"Certainly." The jeweler took if off the display and Koenma held it in his hands. His long fingers gently touched the snowflake pendent and he looked back up at the ordinary human and said, "I'll take it."
He handed the necklace back to the jeweler and the local Valdezian smiled, "Excellent choice, it's one of the items we have on sale this season. It's simple yet beautiful, your wife or girlfriend will love it."
Koenma chuckled, "She's my just my girlfriend who's also my best friend actually. It's too soon to be thinking about marriage."
Meanwhile with Shunjun, Jorge, and Sandy, after walking for over an hour on the ice and snow covered streets, they finally approached Copper Street. Jorge then asked the imp demon woman, "So which house is it?"
Sandy pointed to a single storied green colored house just two blocks away from them, "That one over there."
They continued walking for another ten minutes until they approached the house. Jorge and Shunjun followed Sandy up to the side porch and the young demon woman knocked on the door. They waited for only a couple of minutes until the door opened and there stood a beautiful young woman with curly blond hair, bright blue eye, red full lips, and a figure like Marilyn Monroe.
Sandy recognized who she was immediately, "Hi Caroline, is Jasmine here?"
Caroline smiled, "Yeah she is Sandy, would you like to come to inside? It's quite nippy out here."
The imp demon smiled, "Yeah. Oh Caroline, these two gentleman are Shunjun and Jorge. Guys, this is Caroline, Jasmine's sister."
Caroline smiled at the two inhuman beings in front of her in greeting, "Nice to meet you guys." She then sensed their auras and gauged their appearances, "Let me guess, you guys are from Spirit World? I can tell that you both aren't human and you guys don't have any demon energy radiating off of you."
Shunjun nodded, "Yep."
They then followed the blond psychic inside and Jorge removed his hat and the bandana off of his face. Caroline shut the door behind her and took one look at the blue ogre and just stared at him for a minute until she said, "Oh wow, an ogre. I have never met any before."
Jorge smiled, "Don't be afraid, we don't eat people like a lot of human storybooks describe. In fact, we are mostly harmless. Well, unless we or someone we love and care for is threatened."
Caroline chuckled, "Oh, I wasn't scared; I just think it's cool just meeting one for the first time."
She then gestured the three to follow her into the hallway until they reached the living room that was attached to a kitchen and dining room. Jorge and Shunjun sniffed the air smelling the wonderful aroma of freshly baked cookies and pies.
Caroline led them into the kitchen where her sister, mother, and grandmother were. Jasmine then stood up after taking a fresh batch of cookies out of the oven. Noticing her sister out of the corner of her eye, she turned her head to not only see her but, Sandy, Jorge, and Shunjun too.
She set the tray of cookies on the stove and removed her oven mitts. Jasmine handed the oven mitts to her mother to let her take over. "Sandy, Jorge, and Shunjun, right?"
Shunjun nodded, "Yeah."
The brunette then asked, "What are you guys doing here?"
"I met with them at the Elks Lodge last night and they came to pose a warning." Sandy replied.
Jasmine stood there and stared at them blankly, "What kind of warning?"
Jorge took a deep breath and decided to come out and say it, "Something is going to happen. We don't know when but, there is a plot to do something to Lord Koenma."
"Yeah to kill him."
Shunjun shook his head, "Not just that but, I overheard some shady characters at Spirit World's local dive bar The Fallen Angel and I overheard them say that there is going to be more than just killing him. I didn't get to hear all of it but, they are planning on doing it within the next couple of days."
Jorge looked around and then asked, "Where's Koenma?"
"He's out with my grandpa and my brother Christmas shopping. They should be any minute now."
Just then, they heard someone pull up the driveway. Janine looked out the window, "Speak of the devil, they're here and so is William and Raito."
They heard the side door open and the five men walked in. They didn't walk into the main part of the house until after they removed their outdoor clothing. Koenma was the first to walk in holding a couple of wrapped gifts in a plastic grocery bag. Seeing Jasmine, he approached her giving her a big hug and a sweet and passionate kiss.
Once they parted, the young demon hunter looked up at him, gazing into his eyes, "So, where did you guys go?"
Koenma kissed her forehead and then replied, "We went to a couple of stores and I found you two things instead of one."
Jasmine stared at him and blinked in surprise, "You didn't have to do that. One would have been just fine."
"I know but, you spoiled me on my birthday and I thought I should do the same."
Jasmine then giggled like a schoolgirl and replied smiling brightly, "You're so sweet and gracious. Oh Koenma, look who's here."
The prince looked around the room until he saw Jorge and Shunjun. He stared at the two of them in confusion. He really wanted to know why they were there but, he was happy to see them nonetheless.
"Ogre, Shunjun, what are you two doing here?"
The blue ogre didn't respond as he walked up to his boss and gave him a big hug. He then began to cry, "Oh Koenma sir, thank god you're alright."
Not knowing what else to do, Koenma just hugged Jorge back, "I'm okay, Ogre. Why wouldn't I be?"
They broke their embrace, and Jorge tried to get a hold or himself and then sniffled, "Because…because…Shunjun…"
"It's because I overheard from some shady characters at The Fallen Angel that there is some sort of a plot to do more than just assassinate you within the next couple of days." Shunjun interjected.
The prince just stood there speechless. He didn't know how to respond to this and in fact, he was getting quite sick of this bullshit. Koenma wanted to know who kept sending those demon assassins after him and why they were doing it in the first place. Not wanting to ruin everyone's nice time, he decided that maybe they could discuss this somewhere else.
He then shifted his attention to Jasmine and getting the message from the look on his face, she nodded and then asked her childhood friend, "Sandy, do you think that we can talk about this somewhere else?"
The young imp demon nodded and smiled, "Yeah, do you guys want to go back to my trailer and we can order a pizza and discuss it over that and soda or beer?"
Jasmine nodded, "Sure." She then shifted her attention to her family, "I know I said that Koenma and I were going to eat with you guys tonight but, this is an emergency and Koenma really needs to talk to these guys. I'm so sorry."
Lydia gave her granddaughter a warm smile, "It's okay Jasmine, we understand. But, take one of your siblings with you for extra protection."
Before Jasmine could ask either one of them, Caroline then spoke up, "I'll go with them. Are you guys cool with that?"
Koenma and Jasmine both nodded. Jasmine knelt down and gave her grandmother a hug and bid her and the rest of the family goodnight and promised that she and Koenma would be back to tomorrow. They then put on their winter clothing and Jasmine, Caroline, Shunjun, Jorge, and Koenma all walked with Sandy back to her trailer. It took them almost an hour to get out to the Aleutian Village Trailer Park. Luckily, they didn't run into any trouble on the way over to the imp demon's residence.
Upon entering the trailer, Sandy ordered two pizzas and they showed up about twenty minutes later. The three woman and three men all ate their pizza and drank their drinks like soda, beer, or water in silence until Koenma finished off his slice of pizza and then eyed Jorge and Shunjun with curiosity.
He then asked them, "Okay guys; tell me what's going on. I have already been attacked by a group of demons once since I got here but, I am going to ask you both once, is there more to this?"
Jorge just sat there drinking his Coke in silence and then Shunjun put his soda bottle down. He stared at it for a minute and then replied, "Yeah, I was at The Fallen Angel last night. You know, just to get a drink with a couple of my SDF buddies. They went home early but, I stayed to chat with Hector being that we were one of the few people left in the bar and well, we both overheard some shady characters talking about how something is going to go down here in Valdez in the next couple of days."
Koenma crossed his long arms over his chest and stared at the blue haired SDF soldier blankly and then asked, "What kind of things?"
Shunjun took a sip from his Mountain Dew, "I didn't hear all of it because, they were talking in such hushed voices and the music that Hector was playing was incredibly loud. But, I heard them talking about some sort of a kidnapping that's going to take place. I couldn't hear when or who they were going to kidnap. Well, long story short, they realized that me and Hector were eavesdropping and they tried to start a fight with us. Luckily, Hector took a big club that he always has ready for things like that, he threatened them and kicked them out. Then, I went to the ogre village to go find Jorge, told him what was going on and well, here we are."
All of the trailer occupants just stared at the blue haired soldier. None of them knew what to say that is until Caroline then broke the ice, "So, what are we going to do about this?"
They all shifted their attention to the blond demon hunter. Koenma then replied, "I don't know but, I don't want this crap to ruin our Christmas vacation and I'm not going to let it."
Jorge quit drinking his Coke and then interjected, "Maybe you should cut this short sir, it's quite clear that you and probably Jasmine and her family are in danger. For all we know, it's probably you or Jasmine that the assassins are going to kidnap."
Koenma sighed getting annoyed with Jorge's over protective paranoia, "No Ogre, I'm not going to end this trip for this bullshit. I was having such a good time until the demons from yesterday tried to kill me and finding out about that crap you guys told me."
Jorge got up from the chair that he was sitting on and then tried to reason with his boss's stubbornness, "Koenma sir, it's too dangerous for you to stay here any longer. If they find you, who knows what will happen…"
Having enough, the prince then snapped, "I'm fine Ogre! I am not going to end this trip because you or some asshole assassins want me to!"
"But sir…"
"Don't "but sir" me! Goddammit Ogre, I am not a baby anymore! I am an adult and I can take care of myself! Quit treating me like I am one!"
Jorge then narrowed his eyes at his boss getting fed up with him, "You know Koenma sir, I have been putting up with your bullshit for years now and it's very rare that I ever do yell at you but please, listen to me, you, Jasmine, and her family are in danger. You guys have to…"
Koenma then balled up his fists at his sides and then did something that he hasn't done since the Sensui Case; he punched his big blue ogre servant square in the nose knocking him to the floor. He then glared at him and angrily barked, "Shut the hell up! I'm not leaving, I'm going to enjoy the rest of this trip and you're not going to stop me Ogre."
Having enough, Jorge then grabbed Koenma by his ankle and pulled him to the floor. The prince felt his long legs give out under him and he landed on the trailer's floor with a hard thud. He was about to throttle the ogre, but Jorge then grabbed his hands and wrestled the angry prince to the ground.
Watching the scene in front of them, Shunjun, Caroline, Jasmine, and Sandy then sighed with annoyance and then Caroline asked her sister, "Okay, how are we going to stop this?"
Jasmine then bit her lip and then thought of a solution, "I'll get Koenma. Sandy, can you help me?" The young imp demon nodded, "Yeah." Jasmine then shifted her attention back to her sister, "Caroline, you and Shunjun get Jorge before they kill each other."
Jasmine, Caroline, and Shunjun then glowed with their spirit energy and Sandy did with her demon energy then all four of then ran over to the Spirit World duo. Both Sandy and Jasmine grabbed Koenma and Caroline and Shunjun got Jorge. With the young prince still struggling in their grasp, Jasmine then said, "Stop it now, both of you!"
Koenma and Jorge quit struggling in their captor's grasps and then Sandy said, "Jasmine is right. If you guys keep fighting, the demon assassins and the nasty prick who hired them wins."
Caroline nodded in agreement, "That's exactly what they want. The best thing we can do in this situation is stick together and face this problem as a team. If Jasmine and I pulled this crap when we were kids, we would have gotten in so much trouble. Now, apologize to each other."
Koenma and Jorge just glared at each other not saying a thing. Jasmine sighed and rolled her eyes and reached over and grabbed a fistful of her boyfriend's luscious brown hair. Koenma then let out a pained shriek from the pain that his human lover inflicted on his scalp. Jasmine then leaned in and whispered seductively into his ear, "Apologize to Jorge or we are not having sex tonight and I really fucking want to. I just couldn't stop thinking about what I did to you in the shower today and I have desired for you to hold me in your strong arms, your soft lips on mine, and you making sweet love to me. Apologize to him and I will make it worth your while when we get back to the hotel."
Koenma bit his lip feeling his cock getting hard with Jasmine's warm breath in his ear and thinking about what she just described to him. He then looked over at Jorge and then sighed realizing he didn't have a choice and how true Caroline's words are.
"Sorry Ogre."
Jorge then calmed down, "I'm sorry too Koenma."
Their captors then let them go and they then sat in Sandy's living room talking about how to deal with their current situation. Koenma sipped on his beer, "Okay, so how are we going to go about this?"
Caroline finished off her cream soda, "The best solution I can think of is someone from the family driving you and Jasmine back and forth from the hotel to wherever you guys want to go. Also, if you guys feel up to it, Sandy, will you, the ogre dude, and guy with the blue hair can help?"
Sandy nodded, "Yeah, I will be more than happy to."
Jorge finished off his Coke, "Me too. I may not be much of a fighter but, I'll do what I can."
Shunjun took another sip from his Mountain Dew, "Same here."
Jasmine and Koenma looked at the clock on the wall and seeing that it was getting late, they decided it was time to go back to the hotel. Caroline did too and then asked to be taken back to hers and Jasmine's grandparents' house. Sandy then offered to give them a ride and they happily accepted. Koenma then bid Jorge and Shunjun a goodnight and that he would probably see them in the morning. While Sandy was driving the lovers back to their hotel, they, the young imp demon, and Caroline agreed that they would discuss this with the family tomorrow.
Sandy then dropped them off at the hotel and bid them goodnight and to stay safe and she said that she will alert the rest of Jasmine's family with what was going on. After she pulled out of the parking lot, Koenma and Jasmine walked back to their hotel room hand in hand. Once they entered their room and shut the door behind them. Koenma set the grocery bag that contained Jasmine's Christmas presents down on the wooden table by the window. They removed their outdoor clothing and snow boots.
They then sat on the bed and Jasmine asked him, "Do you still want to make love or is today's revelation gotten you too stressed out?"
Koenma sat there holding his pacifier between two of his long fingers and then looked up at his lover and smiled flashing her a sexy smile, "Of course my queen. I did say that I was going to pay you back for that amazing blowjob you gave me."
She then leaned over and gave him a deep kiss and then parted with her large brown eyes sparkling with that naughty twinkle, "What do you say we set the mood first?"
The prince then formed a seductive smirk on his handsome face, "What do you have in mind?"
Jasmine got up off the bed and walked over to the stereo and turned on some music. She then turned around with a sly smile, "Come dance with me my prince."
Koenma smiled and got up. He then kissed her lovingly, "As you wish my queen."
Jasmine put her hands on his broad shoulders and Koenma put his hands on her slender waist. They then began to dance to the rock music playing on the radio gazing into each other's brown eyes. The danced for a couple of minutes until Jasmine stepped on her lover's foot. Koenma then groaned in pain and the young psychic then gasped.
She then began to apologize, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Koenma, are you okay?"
He nodded and then gave her a sweet smile, "I'm just fine and you didn't break anything."
"Maybe this was a bad idea."
Koenma then chuckled, "No it wasn't."
Jasmine bit her lip and looked down at her feet and said sheepishly, "Yeah it was, I can't dance worth shit. The only time I can dance properly is during my dance aerobics class but, with a guy I always step on their toes or hurt them in some way."
Koenma then gently tilted her face up to his to look her directly in the eye, "You just need someone to teach you and I would be more than happy to help you, my queen."
The young woman then gave a small smile and giggled like a schoolgirl, "Really? Oh thank you Koenma."
He then responded by kissing her deeply and Jasmine returned the same deep passion. They then parted and began their little dance lesson. Koenma then guided her, "One…two…three…ouch!"
"Sorry."
"Four…five…six…seven…ouch!"
"Oh dammit."
"Jasmine it's okay; let's try it again." He said calmly in reassurance.
Jasmine then sighed, still not very confident and then nodded her head up and down. They then began to dance again with Koenma saying in a gentle voice, "Okay…one…two…three…four…five…six. See, you're getting it. Ouch!"
The young demon hunter groaned getting annoyed with herself, "Goddammit, just face it Koenma, I suck."
Koenma shook his head and sighed, "You don't suck. You just need more practice that's all. Hey, I know what would cheer you up."
Jasmine then chuckled and said, "What would that be?"
The prince then cupped her face in his hands and then nuzzled his nose against hers, "This." He then gave her a deep and loving kiss. Jasmine then returned the same deep loving passion by slipping her tongue into his mouth, caressing his with hers.
Koenma then moved his hands and wrapped his long arms around her slender waist and gently lifted the young demon hunter off the ground and Jasmine wrapped her legs around her lover's waist and her arms around his neck. Still lip locked, he then carried her over to the bed and gently laid her down on it with him on top of her.
Koenma then broke the kiss to trail hot kisses onto her neck and Jasmine let out a loud moan with he began to kiss, nip and suck on that sensitive spot again.
"Oh Koenma."
He continued to suck on her neck and Jasmine groaned with the pleasure it brought her feeling her body heat up and her pussy getting wet. She then tugged on his hair which made him stop. Koenma eyed her curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jasmine looked up at him with hazy lust in her large brown eyes and said, "Wait, I have a surprise for you."
They both then sat up and Jasmine crawled off the bed and said in a sweet manner, "Don't move, I'll be right back."
She then walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. The prince just sat wondering what the surprise was and he only sat there for about five minutes until the bathroom door opened back up. He waited in anticipation for his human lover and his brown eyes widened when she walked out.
Koenma felt his cock getting hard and his cheeks flushed at the sight before him. Jasmine slowly sauntered over to him wearing a black see through baby doll with a silky black thong with her long brown curls down, free, and wild. She licked her small pink lips and asked seductively, "See something you like my prince?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes, you look so beautiful and sexy my queen."
She then giggled like a schoolgirl, "I'm glad you approve." Jasmine then got on the bed and straddled her prince. Koenma could see her erect pink nipples poking through the lacey black cups of the baby doll. He then licked his lips thinking about how he wanted to lick them and play with them. Oh how he wanted to tear the sexy lingerie off her body, eat her out, and then make love to her like crazy and also have her ride his hard cock.
Jasmine then began to grind her pussy against his bulge and then leaned down and gave him a deep kiss, shoving her tongue into his mouth. Koenma then groaned like an animal in heat as he returned the kiss, making his human lover purr, "Mmmmmmm."
He reached up and began to run his long fingers through her soft brown curls. Jasmine then broke the kiss and began to kiss his neck as she unbuttoned his shirt. She then trailed hot kisses down his toned chest and down to his stomach. The young woman gently gave the scar above his belly button a small lick making him laugh from being quite ticklish.
Jasmine started laughing too. Koenma's laughter was contagious and she licked the scar again making him laugh even harder. She stopped and looked up at him and gave him a sly smile, "Does that tickle?"
The prince caught his breath and nodded, "Yeah, please don't do that again."
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "Try and stop me." She then stopped grinding against him and then tried to lick the scar again.
With the strength that seemed to come out of nowhere, Koenma then abruptly sat up and rolled his human lover onto her back. Jasmine felt her pussy getting wetter with how forceful he was and damn did it turn her on. She then looked up at him and Koenma saw the hazy animalistic lust in her large brown eyes and felt his cock getting harder as a result.
He then gave her a sadistic chuckle, "I thought I told you to stop doing that."
She giggled like a schoolgirl being incredibly horny, "Yeah you did but, I wanted to do it anyways."
"You owe me big time."
She giggled again, "Yeah I do." Jasmine glanced at the clock on the wall and shifted her attention back to her royal lover, "Hey Koenma, guess what day it is."
"What day is it?"
Jasmine sweetly smiled showing her slightly crooked teeth, "It's midnight so, it's Christmas Eve and one of my family traditions is that we get to open one of our presents. You may have only gotten me two while you were out with my brother and grandfather but, I got you three. While you were shopping for me, my sister and I went out and I got you two presents as well."
Koenma raised an eyebrow at her, "I thought you said you got me three."
She sadistically chuckled, "I did. You're looking at your third present. Aren't you going to unwrap me, your highness?"
He smiled and then gave him a deep and loving kiss in reply. Once they parted, he looked down at his lover and saw the large bow that tied her see through baby doll shut. Koenma took one of the silky black ribbons and gently pulled on it. He slowly undid the bow and licked his lips, opening the front of the baby doll in anticipation.
The prince then leaned in and kissed in between her small perky breasts as he removed the two lacey black cups, exposing her two soft breasts. He took one in his hand and licked her hard pink nipple making her sigh in pleasure.
Koenma then swirled his tongue around the stiff peak and then licked, nipped, and sucked on it while he gently massaged his human lover's other breast. After a little bit, he then gave the other one the same treatment and then slid his hand into her black thong.
He guided his long fingers over her mound, through the soft hair and parted her pussy lips to touch her moist depths. Jasmine then gasped when she felt him insert one of his long fingers inside her and began to gently pump it in and out of her wet pussy.
Jasmine arched her back and moaned, "Oh Koenma."
He quit sucking and playing with her breasts and took his hand out of her panties making her whine in protest. Koenma chuckled looking at her and seeing the pleading look on her face. He then removed her black silky thong and began to kiss up her inner thighs.
Jasmine then loudly and lewdly moaned when her lover kissed, nipped and sucked on that sensitive milky white flesh. It felt good but, she wanted him to quit teasing her like this. She then reached over and tugged on his luscious brown hair to let him know.
Koenma growled from the slight pain which brought him a little bit of pleasure. Jasmine let go of his scalp and the prince sat up and took off his unbuttoned shirt and threw it to the floor. He then gave her a darkly seductive smile as he knelt down in between her legs, gently spread her pussy lips apart and gave her sopping wet pussy a lick.
Jasmine clenched onto the sheets and moaned at how good it felt, "Oh Koenma, oh yes!"
He gently lapped up her juices and swirled his tongue on her throbbing clit and the young psychic arched her back and moaned louder. Hearing her lewd and loud sounds and her saying his name were like music to his ears and it was really turning Koenma on.
The prince then used his tongue to gently dig up her clit from under its hood and took the sensitive bead of flesh into his mouth and then started to gently suck on it. Jasmine then cried out in pleasure and clenched onto the sheets tighter. Koenma then stopped after a couple of moments and then gave it a couple of licks and snaked his tongue down to her wet entrance and slipped his tongue inside her.
He curled and probed his tongue making her writhe and cry out, "Oh shit!"
Feeling that she was getting close, Jasmine opened her eyes and looked down to see him give her such a naughty gleam in his eye and she arched her back and bit her lip to keep from crying out when he curled his tongue on her sweet spot.
"Almost there." Koenma thought.
Jasmine moans and cries grew louder, lewder, and more desperate sounding as her sweet, loveable, dorky, and naughty prince continued to curl and probe his tongue inside her the right way until she tightly clenched onto the sheets and arched her back feeling her orgasm washing over her. She cried out releasing her juices with her climax, "KOENMA!"
Jasmine just lay there breathing heavily to catch her breath. She then sat up to see her lover lick her juices off of his lips. He then removed his pants and his boxers to free his throbbing erection as Jasmine removed her baby doll and threw off to the side. Koenma climbed back into the bed and now naked in all of their glory, they then shared a hot, deep, and passionate kiss, tongues caressing each other's.
They then parted and gazed into each other's brown eyes and Koenma then said in a low voice, "Please get on top and make love to me. Ride me my queen."
Jasmine then gave him a wicked smile, "Yes my prince."
Brightly smiling, the young demon hunter climbed onto the prince's lap positioning herself and then slipped his rock hard cock into her dripping wet pussy. They both then groaned with pleasure when Jasmine began to ride Koenma in a slow and steady pace.
Gazing into her eyes he then said as he moaned with pleasure, "I love you."
Kissing him in response, she then said breathlessly, "I love you too my prince."
They shared another deep and passionate kiss as Jasmine rode her prince's cock a bit faster. They both moaned into the kiss and Koenma then broke it to kiss along the young woman's neck and Jasmine arched her neck back and growled, "Ahhhhhhh!"
He kissed, nipped, and sucked on that sensitive spot again and then kissed her collarbone and then down to her chest. Jasmine moved her head back to face him and she then giggled as Koenma then massaged one of her small perky breasts with one of his strong hands and then licked the hard pink nipple making his woman sigh with pleasure.
He switched over to her other breast to give it the same treatment and looked up at her to see Jasmine's pale freckled cheeks flushed with red and she then giggled stroked his hair. Koenma then stopped sucking on her breasts and lied down on the bed with his cock still inside his lover. He gently held onto her small hips as the young demon hunter then rode him faster, grinding her hips and pelvic region with her large brown eyes sparkling, enjoying riding and dominating her lover.
Jasmine brought down her long fingernails on his toned chest and lightly scratched down causing Koenma to arch his neck back and cry out, "Oh my queen!"
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "Do you like that?"
"Ahhhnn…yeah."
The young demon hunter then cackled in such a sexy seductive manner, "Good." She then scratched down his chest harder as she rode his cock harder and faster. Koenma's moans grew louder and lewder and he began to whimper from the pleasure his queen was giving him.
Jasmine continued to giggle as she rode him hard and fast and her moans grew loud and lewd as well. The bed began to creak and the headboard tapped the wall in a rhythm and they were sure that the other hotel guests could hear them but, they were too far down the rabbit hole to even care.
Jasmine then stopped scratching down Koenma's bare toned chest and she then arched back with one of her hands on her head and the other one behind her on the bed to steady herself as she continued to ride her inhuman lover's cock in the same fast and hard pace.
Koenma then gripped her small hips harder and he looked up at her and seeing her arched back with her breasts bouncing and her chest heaving as she rode him was such a turn on. Feeling their orgasms begin to build, Jasmine then moved back to look into her lover's eyes once more and planted her hands on the sides of Koenma's face and deeply kissed him as he wrapped his arms around her back.
They broke the kiss and lightly pressed their foreheads against each other, looking into each other's eyes again. Jasmine nuzzled her nose against his and then said breathlessly, "Are you close my prince?"
"Yes my queen."
They then kissed each other deeply again as Jasmine rode him faster and harder and a few moments later, they both climaxed together loudly moaning into the kiss. The kiss then parted and they laid there holding each other as Jasmine rested her head on Koenma's chest. They then caught their breath and Jasmine the climbed off Koenma, withdrawing his cock from her pussy and lay down next to him.
Jasmine then kissed his cheek, "Oh wow that was amazing."
Koenma then smiled, "Yeah it was. I love you Jasmine."
"I love you too Koenma."
They then laid there in silence for a few minutes until Jasmine said, "Are you still wide awake?"
"Yeah."
Jasmine sweetly smiled, "Do you want to watch some TV?"
Koenma then sat up, "Yeah sure."
The young demon hunter reached over and took the TV remote off of the nightstand and turned on the small TV that sat on the wooden dresser in front of the bed. The lovers than laid down and cuddled up close to each other as they flipped through the channels to find something good on. Seeing that nothing else was on, they settled on MTV that currently had "Beavis and Butthead" playing.
They both rolled their eyes after watching for a few minutes and Koenma then criticized, "Why do people find this to be funny? I don't get it."
Jasmine shrugged her small shoulders, "I have no clue. Koashura likes it and thinks it's the funniest thing ever."
Koenma then looked at his lover and raised his brown eyebrows and then sighed, "I should have known. He has always liked stupid stuff. Hell, back in Spirit World Kindergarten, he would be making jokes like those two dumbasses do. Damn, even Yusuke and Kuwabara like this crap."
The psychic med student started cracking up, "Seriously? Oh my god and you had them working for you."
Koenma then sighed, "Yeah, I found out how much they liked this show back when the Sensui Case was still going on. I went to Yusuke's apartment to discuss with him and the team about the identity of who was behind the tunnel opening and well, long story short, I was let into their apartment and there was Yusuke and Kuwabara sitting front of the TV watching "Beavis and Butthead" laughing their asses off thinking it was the funniest thing they ever seen."
Jasmine began to laugh and then asked, "Then what happened?"
The prince then exhaled and rolled his brown eyes remembering the memory, "Well, I asked them to turn it off because, we had more important things and they got pissed and Yusuke called me "Toddler" again, told me to shut up and then went back to finish his stupid program."
Jasmine furrowed her eyebrows, "Wow, what an irresponsible and disrespectful dickhead. Please tell me someone like Genkai or you put him in his place."
Koenma then laughed, "You bet Genkai did. She walked over to the TV turned it off and you know, Yusuke got pissed and yelled at her and good ol' Genkai hit him on the head, called him a dimwit and told him that the current case was more important than that."
The young demon hunter then laughed at what her prince told her thinking it was so funny. She and Koenma gave each other a sweet kiss and once they parted, "Beavis and Butthead" finished up its episode. Jasmine looked back over to the TV and a bright smile formed on her lovely face, "Oh awesome, music videos are on."
Koenma looked at her and back at the TV and raised his eyebrows at what he saw and then shifted his attention back to his girlfriend, "Beavis and Butthead are just talking about them or just screwing around."
Jasmine chuckled, "Well, I think their actual show is kind of okay but, I like this more. I feel they are at their funniest when they talk about music videos and bands and whether or not they think they suck."
The young god shook his head and then replied, "If you want funny commentary on music videos, Ogre and I are way funnier than those two dumbasses."
Jasmine stared at her boyfriend blankly and then asked, "Really?"
"Yeah, that's one of the best times ever when he's not aggravating me and when we're not stressed out over work. The last time we did that was during the Dark Tournament the night before the semifinals. Ogre and I were watching MTV when they were showing nothing but music videos and we were eating pizza and drinking beer. I was also in my other more degrading form and we were praising the ones we liked and criticizing the ones we hated. Hell, there was this very lame one from a band that I can't stand and I threw my empty beer bottle at the screen screaming about how much I hated it."
Jasmine burst out laughing at the image of her boyfriend in his toddler form screaming at a music video he hated and saying how much it sucked. Koenma also started laughing and the two lovers and friends laughed for a couple of minutes and regaining his composure, Koenma continued with his story.
"Also, the demons that were staying in the hotel room right next to us started banging on the wall telling us to shut up and threatened to kick our asses if we didn't."
"Please tell me you guys didn't egg them on."
Koenma stared at Jasmine for a minute and then replied, "What kind of assholes do you take me and Jorge for? We're not like Yusuke or Kuwabara or hell, even Hiei so, we didn't reply to them. But damn, I wanted to so bad but, thank god Ogre stopped me."
Jasmine chuckled, "It's good that you guys didn't. I'm glad that you're one of the more level headed people associated with Team Urameshi."
The prince just smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead and then yawned ready to go to sleep. "If she only met me before the Dark Tournament, she wouldn't be saying that." He thought to himself. But, it was then he realized how much he had changed in the months after the tournament and even more so after the Sensui Case. Koenma realized that he wasn't as brash or abrasion like he was before those two scenarios happened.
He had greatly matured and learned how to take responsibility for his actions and mistakes. Koenma looked over to his lovely human psychic girlfriend who was currently watching TV. She was also responsible for some of it as well. Koenma then realized that Jasmine brought out the best in him and he brought the best in her. He was forever grateful for her being in his life and he couldn't picture being without her.
Koenma then kissed the top of Jasmine's head and snuggled right next to her. They continued watching music videos until they both fell asleep in each other's arms with MTV playing in the background.
At nine o'clock that morning, Koenma and Jasmine were woken up by someone knocking on the door. Jasmine then groaned, "Who's there?"
The prince didn't open his eyes and mumbled a reply, "I don't know."
Jasmine then opened her eyes and the knocking continued and she climbed out of bed and walked over to her suitcase and put on a pair of pajama shorts and a big Alaska sweatshirt and walked over to the door. She then peeked through the peep hole to see her brother and her grandfather behind the door.
Jasmine unlocked the door and opened it, "Grandpa, Niles, good morning, what are you guys doing here?"
"We heard about what was going with you and Koenma from Sandy when she dropped Caroline off last night." Niles said, "So, we are here to pick you guys up and to drive you both safely to over to the house for breakfast and to discuss what we plan to do about this problem. The blue haired guy, Sandy, and the ogre dude are already there waiting for you guys."
Jasmine rubbed her large brown eyes still waking up. She then yawned, "Okay, just give us a minute." She then shut the door and walked back over to the bed and sat down and gave Koenma a kiss on his forehead.
"Wake up sleepyhead. Niles and my grandpa are here to pick us up for breakfast and to also talk about our predicament. Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy are already there waiting for us."
Koenma then sat up and yawned, "Okay, I'll go jump in the shower and get dressed then."
He then removed the blanket off of his naked body and climbed out of bed and slipped his boxers and his pants on. Once he gathered up his clean clothes, the prince walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. Jasmine then gathered up the clothes that were scattered on the floor from their passionate interlude last night and put them away in their suitcases.
The young demon hunter then gathered up her clean clothes for the day and set them down on the bed and walked back over to the door and let Niles and Demetrius in. Jasmine then turned off the TV that they left on when she and Koenma fell asleep.
About fifteen minutes later, Koenma emerged from the bathroom fully clothed and Jasmine ran in carrying her clothing and shut the door behind her. The prince rummaged through his suitcase and found his purple headband. Before he slipped it on his forehead to cover up his mark, Niles got a good glimpse of it and eyed it with curiosity.
"Hey, I don't mean to offend you or anything but, is that a tattoo?"
Koenma looked at Niles with a blank expression on his face, holding his purple headband. He then replied, "No, I was born with it. My mark symbolizes my place and title of being Prince of the Spirit World."
"Is that why you wear that purple headband over it?" the blond man asked.
Koenma nodded, "Yeah, I have to keep it covered when I am here in the Human World or the Demon World or I'm a walking target for any assassin that wants me dead. But, little good that it's doing me now because, they figured out who I am and now they are coming after me for some stupid reason and quite frankly, I'm getting sick of it."
Niles sighed, "That sucks man, I'm sorry. We are going to figure this out."
Just then Jasmine emerged from the bathroom fully clothed. She then put on her sweater and asked them, "Are we ready to go?"
Koenma then slid the purple headband over his forehead and nodded, "Yeah."
They then put on their winter clothing and the three psychics and one god walked out of the hotel room and out of the building to the parking lot. They all then climbed into Demetrius's red Buick and pulled out of the parking lot. All of the sudden, Demetrius noticed something out of the corner of his eye, he then looked into his rearview mirror and noticed a grey van without any windows except for the front and the windshield were following them.
Getting a bad feeling about it, the elderly psychic gripped onto steering wheel; noticing this, Niles then asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Trying to keep his eye on the road, he then replied, "I don't want you guys to panic or anything but, we have someone following us."
Jasmine then raised her brown eyebrows, "What?!" She and Koenma both turned around and looked out of the back window and in fact the van was right behind them.
The young prince then felt and eerie chill go down his spine. He didn't have a good feeling about this. Koenma turned around and asked Demetrius, "What the hell are we going to do?"
Demetrius looked into his rearview mirror and noticed that the van had gotten closer to them and then sighed, "I guess the only thing we can do is try to lose them but, being that this town is quite small, it's going to be very difficult but, it can be done. Hang on tight!"
He then switched the car's gear and then proceeded to drive over thirty miles over the speed limit hoping to lose their pursuers. The three passengers held onto dear life as the elderly demon hunter drove like a maniac trying to ditch the van. But no matter how fast Demetrius drove or where he drove to, the van seemed to get closer and closer to them. Koenma looked out of his window and realized that they missed Copper Street.
He then asked, "Demetrius where are we going?"
Still concentrating on the road the old man replied, "We are heading towards the elementary school and this road loops over to Copper Street less than a block away from the house."
Then all of the sudden, the van then rear ended the Buick causing all four passengers to lurch forward and Koenma then began to panic as the van continued to hit the back fender. Nearing the elementary school, another van pulled out from the street next to the said school and then hit the driver's side causing the Buick to spin out of control and then hit a telephone pole.
Sitting there breathing heavily, Jasmine looked up and then said in a shaky voice, "I...Is e…everyone okay?"
"Yes." Demetrius and Niles both replied.
Catching her breath she then asked her royal lover, "Koenma? Koenma are you…" She then stopped her sentence seeing him slumped over. Jasmine then undid her seatbelt and then crawled over to him.
Niles and Demetrius undid their seatbelts too and the blond haired young man then asked concerned, "Jasmine, Jasmine is he okay?"
Jasmine undid Koenma's seatbelt and he slumped over onto her lap and she then began to shriek, "Koenma, KOENMA!" The young brunette then gently put two fingers along his neck next to his Adam's apple and felt a pulse. She then sighed with relief, and then gently shook him, "Koenma wake up! Please wake up!"
"Jasmine is he okay?" Niles asked his sister once again.
Jasmine nodded not taking her eyes off her unconscious boyfriend, "Yeah, I think so. He's just been knocked out."
She then saw a little bit of blood on his head and she removed his purple headband to find a small cut on his forehead. Jasmine shifted her attention to her brother and grandfather, "Do you guys have something to put pressure on a small cut?"
Niles opened up the glove compartment and took out some Kleenex and handed the box to his sister. Jasmine took out about three sheets of the soft tissue and applied some pressure to get Koenma's small cut to stop bleeding. Just then they heard car doors opening and closing and the three conscious demon hunters looked out of their windows to see several individuals wearing parkas walking towards the wrecked Buick.
Sensing demon energy coming from all of the individuals surrounding the totaled car, they then began to discuss on what they should do with Jasmine saying something first, "Oh shit, we're outnumbered. What the fuck are we going to do?"
"The only thing we can do sis, we're going to have to fight them off. Well, me and grandpa, you stay here with Koenma." Niles added.
Demetrius and Niles grabbed their weapons and climbed out of the totaled Buick. Still applying pressure to Koenma's wound; Jasmine watched her brother and grandfather through the window. She watched both men glow with their spirit energy and ask the demons to leave.
Not even replying to her brother's pleas, the demons then started attacking them. Niles and Demetrius coated their weapons with their spirit energy and proceeded to fight the demon gang that clearly outnumbered them. Jasmine then shifted her attention back to the unconscious prince. She removed the tissue from over his wound and sighed with relief seeing that it stopped bleeding.
Just then the car door behind her opened and she felt someone grab her ankle and then dragged her out of the car. The young brunette let out a loud yelp and then turned around and kicked the demon in the face. The force of her kick was so strong that it forced the demon to let go of her. She then got up to see another demon drag out Koenma by his shoulders.
Jasmine withdrew her fans from underneath her windbreaker and glowed with her spirit energy and coated her weapons with it and shouted, "Let go of him!"
She sprinted towards the demon opening up her fans and then proceeded to behead it but, the demon immediately saw her and dropped Koenma on the snow covered ground. Jasmine then raised her fans and before she can inflict a blow on it, the demon grabbed her hands and started to cackle, "Not this time Jasmine. You may have gotten more powerful since you and your family moved to Mushiori City but, so have I."
"Let go of me Kalem!"
Kalem then landed a hard kick in his former childhood friend's stomach sending her flying into a window of a nearby house. Seeing that, Niles shouted his sister's name, "Jasmine!"
After having the wind knocked out of her, Jasmine then sat up and screamed in pain. She looked down to see a piece of glass stuck in the calf of her leg. She then reached down and bit her lip to keep from screaming out as she tore it out of her flesh. Jasmine stood up and climbed out of the broken window.
Her large brown eyes widened seeing Kalem picking up Koenma and proceeding to carry him to the nearest blacked out windowed van. She grunted in pain when she sprinted towards them. Kalem looked up at her and just laughed, "You don't give up do you?"
He then used some of his own energy and threw her back on the icy road. Jasmine hit the ground with a loud thud. Kalem laughed and then another demon opened up the side door and Kalem handed Koenma to him and another of his comrades that were also still inside.
He then shouted at the other demons that were still currently fighting with Demetrius and Niles, "Let's go, we have him! Let's get the fuck out of here!"
Those said demons then abruptly stopped their fight and piled into their van. Demetrius then proceeded throw his energy coated cane at the vehicle but, his grandson stopped him, "Grandpa don't."
Demetrius lowered his cane, "Where's Jasmine?"
The side door of the van that had Kalem and her unconscious lover inside shut closed and then proceeded to drive off, making Jasmine scream out, "No! Koenma!"
Despite the injury to her calf muscle, Jasmine then tried to run after the van, "Please stop! Let him go Kalem! Please don't take him away from me!"
Hearing her screams and pleas, Niles and Demetrius ran after her and Jasmine collapsed to her knees realizing that she would never catch up to them. Her brother and grandfather knelt by her side as she began to burst into tears.
About thirty minutes later, Jasmine sat in the living room at her grandparent's house with a bandage wrapped around her lower leg. Jorge eyed her with pure anger and hatred after learning that his boss had been kidnapped. The young demon hunter just sat there with her mug of hot chocolate that her grandmother, Lydia made her to help cheer her up.
Getting sick of the ogre's heavy angry stares he was giving her, she looked at him giving him the best apologetic look she could muster. Jorge still scowled at her. Jasmine just sighed and said trying to apologize, "Jorge, I'm so sorry. I really, really tried…"
Jorge just narrowed his eyes at her then growled, "This is all your fault."
The young woman looked down at her hot chocolate mug, "I did what I could. If I could trade places with Koenma, I would."
The blue ogre rolled his eyes and stomped out of the living room saying, "Bullshit!"
Meanwhile, Koenma woke up to find that his long arms were tied behind his back and he felt something hard behind and realized that he was tied to a metal pole. The prince looked around the dimly lit room and saw that he was in some sort of an auto parts garage. He didn't recognize where he was at and he felt some pain on his forehead and groaned a little bit in agony.
Koenma looked around the room for Jasmine, Niles, and Demetrius and he realized that he was all alone. He tried to move his arms but his hands were bound so tight, it hurt to try moving them.
"Oh shit, don't tell me I have been kidnapped again?!" He then groaned at the thought.
His question was answered when three figures walked into the room. Koenma could sense demon energy coming from two of them and the third individual just emitted spirit energy. While the two demons just wore hoods with their faces seen, the third individual wore a hood and a mask so the prince couldn't see his face.
The masked man then spoke and Koenma could tell that this man's voice had been altered by some sort of a voice changer, "Hello your highness, finally we a chance to meet."
Koenma eyed this person with utter hatred, "Who are you?"
The masked man didn't answer his question but, instead he said, "Do you know why you're here?"
"Yeah, you guys kidnapped me. Where are Jasmine and her brother and grandfather? Are they okay?"
"They are just fine as far as I know but, this is not about them, this is about you."
The masked man then signaled the two demons to untie Koenma from the metal pole. They did and they bound the prince's arms again as he struggled to get free from their grasp. They began to follow the masked man somewhere and Koenma then demanded, "Where the hell are you taking me?"
Later on that evening back at the McAlpin residence, the entire family with the exception of Aunt Demetra and Cousins Julia, Wendy, and Demetri who were currently searching for where the demons took Koenma; along with Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy who were currently gathered in the living room. Jorge still was unhappy with Jasmine and the young psychic had enough. She wanted to finally knock some sense into the ogre and talk about the situation rationally with him.
She decided it was now or never and then spoke up, "Jorge, I'm tired of you looking at me like that. Yes, me, Niles and grandpa done goofed but, we tried. There was just too many of them and besides, my childhood friend kicked my ass when I tried to get him away from Koenma."
The blue ogre then shook his head, "He should have left this morning but no, he wanted to stay all because of you! He could be dead now for all we know and if he is Jasmine, I'll hold you personally responsible."
"Shut the hell up Ogre."
Jorge raised his eyebrows at her, surprised that she called him "Ogre" instead by his name. He sighed, "You have been hanging around Koenma too much. Once we find him…"
Jasmine then curled her lip, "You'll what? You'll convince him to break up with me?" She then began to laugh and shook her head and then gave him a death glare, "If you do Ogre, then you'll be destroying Koenma's happiness. Have you wondered why he has been in such a good mood even though he's been going through a really difficult time? That's because of not only his friends like you, Genkai and everyone else but, me. Do you really want to destroy a good thing that he has going for him? If you do, then be my guest. Koenma will hate you forever Ogre. Do you want that to happen?"
Everybody in the room just stared at the blue ogre and the young demon hunter waiting for either of them to say something. Jorge then crossed his arms over his chest and weighed his options. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he then realized that Jasmine is right. He would be destroying his boss's happiness and one of the things that Jorge really cared about was Koenma's wellbeing and him being happy was something he didn't want to destroy.
Jorge then shook his head and then replied, "No, I do not want to do that to him. I don't like seeing Koenma being depressed."
Jasmine's icy stare then softened and she then formed a small smile, "Thank you Jorge, I really appreciate it."
Just then the side door opened and shut and in walked Aunt Demetra along with Cousins Julia, Wendy, and Demetri. They looked out of breath and they sat down on the grey couch in front of the TV. Once they were finally able to speak, Janine then asked her sister, "So Demetra, did you guys find them?"
Aunt Demetra nodded, "Yeah, we sure did."
Both Jasmine and Jorge began to feel hopeful and then the ogre asked, "So, where are they?"
"They're not too far from here, as a matter of fact, Prince Koenma is being held at the high school."
Everyone then got this surprised look on their faces, "What?!"
Cousin Wendy nodded, "Yeah, Julia was the one who found him. Tell them Jules."
Everybody then shifted their attention to the young demon hunter with the dyed blue hair and piercings. Jasmine then noted the uncomfortable look on her cousin's face. She then asked her, "Julia where did you find him? Are they doing something horrible to him? Please Julia, tell me."
Cousin Julia took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah, I found him at the school auto shop where the auto shop classes are held because; I heard some agonizing screams from down the hall, so I went to investigate. And well, they were torturing him and I…I well, let's just say that I wasn't all that quiet with my reaction and I got the hell out of there before they saw me and well, I found my mom, sister, and brother and we all got the hell out of there after I told them what I saw."
Jasmine and Jorge both felt disgusted from what Julia just said. They then looked at each other and back at everyone else. Everyone was speechless from this latest development until Sandy broke the ice, "So, has anyone came up with a game plan. We need to think about this fast. Like, when we're going to strike, how we are going to do it, who's going to be out there in the battlefield, and how we are going bring Lord Koenma back safely."
They all began to think for a minute until Demetrius spoke, "Well, I know I will and my daughters Janine and Demetra would too. So, does anyone with any spiritual powers or any experience in fighting demons would like to volunteer?"
Both Caroline and Niles raised their hands along with Cousins Julia, Wendy, and Demetri. Shunjun too raised his hand and then interjected, "I will, as the newest captain of the Spirit World Special Defense Force, it's one of my duties to help protect the royal family from harm."
Demetrius counted them and then asked, "Okay, we need more. Does anyone else want to volunteer?"
Sandy the imp demon raised her hand as did Jorge and Jasmine. Everyone stared at the blue ogre in surprise. Jasmine then spoke up, "Jorge are you sure? I thought ogres were usually docile creatures."
Jorge put his hand down, "We are but, if we or someone we care about is threatened, then we do whatever we can do to defend ourselves or our loved one."
Shunjun then put his hand on his friend and band mate's shoulder, "You don't have to do this."
Jorge shifted his attention to him and said, "I have to Shunjun. Koenma needs me. None of the members of Team Urameshi are here and neither are Koashura, Genkai, and Kotennyo. We have to make do with what we got. So, I'll fight for Koenma. I have been caring for him for over seven hundred years and I am not going to let him die out there."
The blue haired SDF soldier nodded with understanding knowing that his ogre comrade was right. After counting the rest of the volunteers, Demetrius then spoke, "Okay, now I have counted for everyone who has volunteered," He shifted his attention to his wife, "Lydia, you will stay here and hold down the fort. I know you would love to be out there assisting us but, since you lost your leg, you're not as able to fight like you used to."
Lydia gave her husband a warm smile even though she was disappointed that she had to stay behind, "It's alright dear, I'm okay with staying with William, Katherine, and Raito. Someone needs to stay and protect the ordinary humans among us."
Demetrius gave her a loving smile and shifted his attention to Jasmine, "Are you going to be okay out there with your injury?"
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah grandpa, I'll be fine. I have to get up and move around to get blood to circulate so it'll heal faster. Besides, Koenma needs me too. I have already saved him twice and I am more than happy to do it again. I am in a relationship with him and we are a team and as a team, if one of us is in trouble, we do whatever we can do to help the other."
Demetrius gave his granddaughter a nod in understanding even though he would like her to rest. All of the demon hunters and the other volunteers for the rescue mission began to discuss their plan of action. The discussion went on for over an hour and since it was getting late, everyone stayed the night at the McAlpin residence. They all agreed that they will strike in the morning after having a good breakfast.
Jasmine, Sandy, Jorge, and Shunjun shared the second guest room at the end of the hallway. The four of them agreed that they would separate from everyone else to search the entire building for Koenma. Jasmine then drifted off to sleep thinking about not only saving Koenma but, also wanting to help Kalem come back to his senses. The next morning, everyone woke up around the same time in anticipation for Koenma's rescue. Lydia and Demetrius made everyone a good breakfast and after everyone was finished eating, they all helped washed their dishes and all of the fighters and one non-fighter who all volunteered began to prepare for the battle.
The ones like Demetrius, Caroline, Janine, and Cousin Julia all kissed their significant others and bid them goodbye after telling them they loved them and proceeded to leave the residence. As they were walking in the direction towards the high school, Jasmine eyed Jorge who was carrying a big shotgun.
She then asked the blue ogre curiously, "Do you know how to use that?"
Jorge smiled and then nodded, "Yeah, I used to go hunting in my youth before Koenma was born. It has been a while but, I still know how to aim, shoot, and load this thing."
About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the high school that was attached to the junior high. The entire place looked abandoned due to classes being out for winter break. Everyone withdrew their weapons and Demetrius then said, "Jasmine, Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy, you guys will enter at the back entrance. Niles, Caroline, Julia, and Wendy, you guys get the front while I, Demetra, Janine, and Demetri enter through the side entrance. If by any chance the battle ends up on the roof or the cafeteria or someplace, we will all meet in the same place. Does everyone have their walkie talkies?"
Everyone nodded. All of the demon hunters, Sandy the imp demon, and the young blue haired SDF captain began to glow with their energy while Jorge loaded up his shotgun closed it and then cocked it. The three groups then separated off to their own separate entrances careful to be stealthy and not be seen by the enemy.
Jasmine, Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy then rounded the corner. Sandy then peeked around to see no one was near the door and she signaled the other three it was okay and they all then crept to the door.
"Okay, who wants to open it?" the young imp demon asked.
They all just stared at each other for a minute and then Jasmine suggested, "Why don't we decide with rock paper scissors?"
Everyone nodded in agreement and then proceeded to do rock paper scissors. After a little bit and a best two out of three, Jasmine won by getting rock and everyone else scissors. She then sighed and then held both of her fans in one hand as she began to twist the doorknob and then opened it.
The young psychic went in with Sandy following her and then Shunjun and Jorge last looking around and behind them aiming his shotgun. The ogre quietly shut the door behind him and Jasmine nodded and gave him the thumbs up. Jorge lowered his shotgun and Jasmine put her one of her fans back into her empty hand and she then signaled the other three into a huddle.
Jasmine, Sandy, Shunjun, and Jorge huddled together with them speaking in whispers. Jasmine spoke first, "Okay, where should we look first?"
"I think we should go search the library and then go up to the second floor." Sandy suggested. "Is everyone cool with that?"
Jasmine, Jorge, and Shunjun nodded. They then followed Sandy to the library and entered the dark room quietly. Just then Jasmine's walkie talkie buzzed. The young psychic picked it up and answered, "Yes?"
Cousin Julia spoke on the other line, "The auto shop has been cleared. I repeat, the auto shop has been cleared. He's not there."
Jasmine pushed the button and replied, "Roger that."
Just then the voice of Janine spoke from her line, "Roger, so has the locker rooms. We're going to check the pool, the gym and then the rifle range."
Jasmine then pushed the button and responded, "Roger that mom, we're going to be checking the library and then the main hallways where the classrooms reside."
Janine and Cousin Julia both spoke on their lines, "Roger that." they then cut out.
Jasmine put her walkie talkie back on her belt and then signaled for another huddle. The four of them huddled and then Jasmine spoke, "Okay, we are going to split up in twos and meet right back here. Sandy, go with Shunjun and Jorge you're with me. Can you handle that?"
Sandy, Shunjun, and Jorge all nodded and they the split up into twos. Jasmine and Jorge began to check between the bookcases of their half of the library. The young demon hunter gripped onto her fans while Jorge had his shotgun raised. After a couple of minutes of not finding anything, they met back at the same place.
Then all four of them went up to the library's second level and did the same thing but, still no result. They all then went back down the first level and left the library. Jasmine pushed the page button on her walkie talkie and then spoke into it.
"The library has just been cleared. I repeat, the library is clear."
The voices of her mother and her cousin could be heard, "Roger that." Just then Janine spoke, "So has the pool and gym, we are now heading upstairs to the rifle range."
Cousin Julia spoke, "The woodshop classroom and the welding area are also clear. We are now going to check the junior high."
Jasmine and Janine responded, "Roger that."
She put her walkie talkie back on her belt. She, Jorge, Sandy, and Shunjun huddled again and the young demon hunter then whispered, "Okay, Sandy and Shunjun, you guys get one half of the hall and Jorge and I get the other. If we don't find anything, we'll do the same thing upstairs."
The other three nodded and they then entered the hallway. Sandy and Shunjun searched their half of the hallway while Jasmine and Jorge searched theirs. They checked every classroom not finding anything and they then made their way up the second level. They then split off and did the same thing. While they were searching, Jasmine caught something out of the corner of her eye.
She then nudged Jorge and he whispered, "What?"
The young demon hunter then pointed in the direction to a movement down the hallway. She then turned around and made a small noise to get Sandy's and Shunjun's attention then gestured to the movement in the shadows. Seeing it they then met up and huddled again then Shunjun whispered, "Okay, should we go after it?"
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah, can you guys sense that?"
Jorge, Sandy, and Shunjun then sensed demon energy and Jorge replied, "Yeah."
"Do you think it's one of the ones we're looking for?" Sandy asked.
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah. Okay, one count of three, we go after it. One…two…three."
They then broke their huddle and then went after the shadowed demon who seen the four of them and took off running. Jasmine's group then chased the demon in hot pursuit for a little bit and then it opened a door and they saw that it was running up the staircase heading towards the roof.
Jasmine took her walkie talkie off her belt and raised it to her lips, pressed the page button and then spoke into it in a hurried voice, "We found one and it's heading towards the roof. I repeat, we found a demon and it's heading to the roof. We need backup now!"
Janine and Cousin Julia replied, "Roger that. We are on our way!"
Jasmine then put her walkie talkie back on her belt and Sandy instantly transformed into her imp form. Jorge raised his shotgun and tried to fire a couple of shots at the demon who just dodged what the ogre fired at him and continued to run up the staircase. Shunjun then removed the mittens he wore, put them into his pocket, raised his hands and began to fire a couple of blasts of his spirit energy but, the demon also dodged that.
It then reached the top and then opened a door to the outside and ran onto the roof of the school. Jasmine, Jorge, Shunjun, and Sandy who sat on Jasmine's shoulder followed through the door in hot pursuit and it shut behind them. They were greeted by a horrifying site when their eyes adjusted to the sunlight.
There was a huge gang of demons along with a masked and hooded man. Jasmine's and Jorge's eyes widened seeing Jasmine's and Sandy's former childhood friend held Koenma who was still in his tall and handsome adult form prisoner. Kalem held a hunting knife to the prince's throat while holding him by his scalp. His blank dark eyes glared at the young demon hunter, Koenma's blue ogre servant, his former childhood friend and fellow demon, and the new SDF captain and then growled, "Take a step and the royal songbird with lose his voice permanently."
Just then the roof door opened and Demetrius McAlpin along with his daughters Demetra Sweeting, and Janine Black and his grandson Demetri Sweeting emerged with their weapons drawn. Then the third group with Caroline and Niles Black and Cousins Julia and Wendy Sweeting also came up with their weapons drawn. Jorge then put in a couple of loads into his shotgun and then closed it and cocked it.
The blue ogre eyed Jasmine's former childhood friend who held his boss hostage and just wanted nothing more than to blow the bastard's head off. Jasmine was the first to speak and then tried to reason with Kalem, "Kalem, let him go. Please, it's Christmas and also, this isn't you."
Sandy who still sat on Jasmine's small shoulder who was currently in her imp form then added, "Jasmine is right. You were always a gentle guy. Snap out of this Kalem and let Lord Koenma go."
Jasmine then eyed Kalem not taking her eyes off of him, "I don't want to fight you but, you're not giving us a choice."
The masked and hooded man spoke with his altered voice, "It's no use human woman, Lord Koenma will get what he deserves for being a traitorous brat. And after we dispose of him, what's to say that I won't go after all of the people who were loyal to him. All of those who slander the good name of the king must be silenced. After the brat prince dies, you, your entire family, that filthy imp demon, his ogre servant and his family and the new SDF captain will be next and perhaps Team Urameshi and the two gods, Koashura and Kotennyo when we find them will meet their end too."
The masked man then signaled the demon gang to attack. The family of demon hunters, Sandy, and Shunjun all stood in a fighting stance glowing with their energy. Jorge was frightened but, he held onto his shotgun firmly reminding himself he was here for Koenma. The blue ogre then took a deep breath and aimed his shotgun and fired a couple of rounds at a couple of demons killing them instantly.
All of the demon hunters coated their weapons with their spirit energy. Caroline threw one of her sais and it pierced a demon's skull while she used the other one to slash or stab her opponents. Janine used her spear on several opponents while her sister Demetra used her nun chucks on some as well. Demetrius used his cane to crush some of the skulls of the demons who attacked him and Shunjun blasted his spirit energy at a few. Niles and the three cousins worked together to take down their opponents.
Sandy had flown off of Jasmine's shoulder and she used her weapon to fight with her opponents while she alternated between her human and imp forms. Jasmine ran over to the masked hooded man making slashing movements at him while he kept dodging her assaults. A demon came at her and she shifted her attention to it and quickly disposed of it by decapitating it with her fans.
Another demon came at her as she killed another one and Jasmine heard a sound of a shotgun going off. She turned around to see that demon fall over dead with a big hole blasted through its chest and there stood Jorge who lowered it.
The ogre then asked, "Are you okay?"
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah, thank you Jorge."
The blue ogre smiled and then began to reload some rounds into his shotgun. Jasmine then fought several demons off who came after him. She then kicked one so hard that it went over the roof to its death. Jorge then shut the shotgun after filling its chambers. He then cocked the gun and fired a few more rounds killing more demons. Jasmine and Jorge both decided to work together to take down the gang that went after them.
The young human woman took off some more of their heads while Jorge either blew them away with some more rounds or hit them with the butt of the gun. After beheading the last one, Jasmine and Jorge then shifted their attention to Kalem who still held Koenma hostage. The prince began to whimper in fear feeling the sharp edged of the hunting knife against his throat.
"P…please, let me go."
Kalem not taking his eyes off of Jasmine and Jorge then barked "Shut up!" Jasmine and Jorge then slowly approached him and the young demon hunter then tried to plead with him once more, "Kalem, let him go and we won't fight you. Do you want me or Jorge here, to kill you?"
Kalem then began to press the blade against Koenma's neck and then shouted out his warning, "Don't move any closer. I swear, I'll open up his throat. His blood will be on your hands."
Jorge then aimed his gun at him, "We are not going to ask you again. Let Koenma go or I'll blow your fucking head off."
Kalem then chuckled at the ogre's threat, "Go ahead and kill your boss while you're at it. I'll just use him as shield."
Jorge lowered his shotgun and his eyes widened and he felt a lump in his throat. He didn't want to hurt Koenma. He then stood there with Jasmine breathing heavily trying to wrack his brain on thinking of a solution. Jasmine just stood there staring at her former childhood friend blankly. She then got a bright idea and then said, "Koenma, switch forms!"
Koenma couldn't believe what he heard, "What? No!"
Jasmine sighed, "Just do it!"
Realizing he had no other choice, Koenma then took a deep breath and then shut his eyes and then switched to his toddler form. All of the sudden, due to Koenma's transformation, Kalem was forced to let go of him and he looked down and then growled, "Why you son of a bitch!"
"Run Koenma sir!" Jorge then shouted.
Koenma then sprinted to Jasmine and Jorge when Kalem tried to grab him again. The prince then switched back to his tall and handsome adult form and ran behind his lovely human girlfriend and his big ogre servant. Kalem then ran over to Jasmine to try and stab her with his hunting knife. The young demon hunter then raised her fans and blocked it.
They then dueled for a little bit and it was clear that Kalem was getting the upper hand. Watching the scene in front him, the masked and hooded man then sighed, "You're such a failure. I'm done with you."
Kalem then knocked Jasmine on her back and was about to plunge the hunting knife into her chest until he stopped just a few centimeters. Jasmine then looked up and saw that his dead looking blank dark eyes got their life back into them. Kalem then lowered his knife and got off of Jasmine and the young human woman got up and then asked, "Kalem? Are you in there?"
Kalem looked around and dropped his hunting knife and it landed with a thud. He then realized what he was doing and then responded with a shred of remorse in his voice, "Jasmine, oh god, what have I done?"
Jorge lowered his shotgun and he and Koenma then formed some confused looks on their faces. Jasmine began to console her former childhood friend, "It wasn't your fault. You were clearly brainwashed."
Kalem looked down at his feet and then back up at the three of them, "It was my fault. I did such horrible things and I don't think I can live with that."
He then began to take a step back and Jasmine, Koenma, and Jorge all saw that he was walking to the edge off the roof. Realizing what he was going to do, Koenma then ran over to him as Kalem then stood on the edge and then tried to drop off. The prince then leapt over and grabbed the demon man's hand and he said, "Don't Kalem, we can talk about this. Suicide is not the answer."
Kalem looked up at Koenma and then said, "Let go of me. I tried to murder you, your highness. My life is clearly over and once it's heard that I have committed such horrible crimes, I will be imprisoned and most likely executed."
Koenma held onto his hand firmly. He gritted his teeth as he tried to pull Kalem up. He didn't want to see someone that his human lover once knew from her childhood take himself out.
Kalem then gave the kindhearted prince a smile, "Thank you for trying to save me your highness but, this is how it should be." The young demon man let go of Koenma's hand and the young prince then shouted an agonizing scream as Kalem fell to his death, "NO!"
Jorge ran over and helped his boss up. Koenma felt like complete shit but, he then thought about Jasmine. He turned around and saw the look on her face. Jasmine then dropped her fans and fell to her knees. She didn't know how to react to this. Koenma then slowly approached her and pulled her into a gentle embrace in an effort to comfort her.
Meanwhile in Demon World, Yusuke had finished his training for the day after taking down the monks again. They once more praised him for his improvement and Yusuke gladly taken all of the complements.
He then sat down on the ground and then let out a loud sigh. It was Christmas Day and he wasn't home sharing it with his mom, Kuwabara or Keiko.
The half demon then thought to himself, "Merry Fucking Christmas."
Hokushin and the monks noted his expression and the monk leader then spoke snapping Yusuke out of his thoughts, "Your highness, you did very well today and because of your awesome progress, we and the king have a surprise for you."
Yusuke then looked up at them and blinked with surprise, "What kind of surprise?"
"Come with us and we'll show you."
The former spirit detective got up curious to know what it was. He then followed Hokushin and the monks into the castle and to King Raizen's throne room and when they entered, Yusuke's brown eyes widened at the wonderful sight in front of him.
There was a big Christmas tree with what looked like homemade decorations in the middle of the room along with a big table with food like Christmas cookies, turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and cider and eggnog.
He then stared at them in shock and asked, "So you guys do celebrate Christmas?"
Raizen nodded, "Yes, why wouldn't we? The food that was prepared is for you of course."
"I hope you understand why we couldn't get your friends and family here." Hokushin added.
Yusuke chuckled and he then smiled, "Hey it's cool. Thank you guys for this."
Hokushin, the monks, and Raizen all smiled and the monk leader said, "Merry Christmas your highness."
"Merry Christmas." Yusuke replied. They then enjoyed their little holiday party and Yusuke couldn't have been more grateful for the effort that was put into this. Even though he didn't get to spend it with his mom, Kuwabara or Keiko, he decided to make the most of it.
Back in the Human World in Mushiori City, Koashura, Kotennyo, Yukina, and Kuwabara had put the finishing touches on their snow sculpture. After much planning, packing and sculpting, they finally made an awesome snow sculpture of a mermaid that looked like Yukina.
They then looked up marveling at their work. "Wow, this turned out better than I thought." Koashura said in amazement.
"I think it turned out better than any of us thought." His lovely girlfriend Kotennyo then added. The young goddess then gave him a quick kiss.
"Well, that's because we had an amazing artist on our team."
Kotennyo chuckled, "That's true but, it wouldn't have turned out the way it did without Kuwabara's and Yukina's awesome idea."
Just then the ordinary human announcer then spoke, "Okay ladies and gents, it is time to end your construction. The judges will now go around finding our first, second, and third place winners."
The ordinary human judges then went around looking at all of the snow sculptures writing things down on their clipboard as they examined each. The final one they examined was Koashura's, Kotennyo's, Yukina's, and Kuwabara's mermaid sculpture. After they were finished they handed the announcer guy the results.
He then looked over their scores and brought the microphone up to his lips, "Okay, now it's time to announce the winners of this year's annual snowman building contest. Our third place winner, who will receive these lovely Christmas ornaments, is group ten with the lovely Ren and Stimpy sculpture."
Applause was then heard. "Our second place winner who'll receive the pumpkin pies is group three who build the cat sculpture." Applause was heard once again, "Now our first place winner who will receive this frozen 18 pound turkey is group number fifteen with their lovely mermaid sculpture."
Koashura, Kotennyo, Yukina and Kuwabara all looked at each with wide eyes. Kuwabara was handed the heavy frozen turkey and the announcer once again spoke, "Thank you all for participating and we hope to see you all again next year. Have a very wonderful holiday."
Applause was heard once again and all the participants began to leave the downtown park. As they were leaving, Kuwabara looked at the frozen turkey in his arms, "Wow, I can't believe we won. Shizuru is going to be so happy that we have a decent sized turkey this year."
He then shifted his attention to the two young gods, "Hey, why don't you guys join us for dinner? You guys helped with the sculpture at all."
Koashura and Kotennyo looked at each other and then shrugged their shoulders. The redheaded god then replied, "Sure, why the hell not?"
They then walked over to the Kuwabara residence. Even though Koenma and Jasmine weren't there, they knew this Christmas was a good one.
Later that evening back in Valdez, Alaska, Koenma and Jasmine were back in their hotel room after having dinner with her family, Jorge, Sandy, and Shunjun. Sandy left to go back to Anchorage wanting to get far away from Valdez after today's battle. Jorge reluctantly left for Spirit World with Shunjun. Koenma had convinced him to go spend the rest of the holiday with Christine and Angie after reassuring him that he was fine and would see him again when he and Jasmine were to come back to Mushiori City.
As for the masked and hooded man, he was nowhere to be found. After scouring the town when the battle was over, there was no sign of him and everyone guessed that he had skipped town.
Koenma sat down on the bed beside Jasmine holding his two wrapped gifts. The young psychic then sighed still being shaken up by watching her former childhood friend commit suicide. Koenma the leaned over and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jasmine looked at her two wrapped gifts and then sighed. She then looked over to her royal lover and shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know."
Wanting to drop the subject for now, Koenma then gave her a sweet smile, "Here are the presents I got you. I hope you like them."
He handed them to Jasmine and Jasmine handed hers to Koenma. She looked at him and gave him the best smile she could muster and then opened the thin one first tearing off the wrapping paper to reveal the TLC CD called CrazySexyCool.
Jasmine then smiled, "Wow, I have been meaning to pick this one up. Thank you Koenma." She then opened the next one to reveal a blue box and she opened it to reveal the lovely silver snowflake necklace with a single diamond in the middle of the snowflake charm. Jasmine then sat there speechless and said, "It's beautiful, I love it."
"Here, let me help you put it on."
Jasmine then turned around and Koenma then draped it around her slender neck and helped her fasten the clasp. She turned back around and he then complimented, "You look so lovely with it on my queen."
She blushed, "Thank you my prince." They then shared a deep and passionate kiss.
Once they parted, Koenma then opened up his presents that were another fantasy fiction book and an Alaska snow globe with a polar bear in it. The prince smiled and then said, "I love it. Thank you Jasmine."
He gave her another deep and loving kiss. When they parted, Koenma then walked over to the radio, turned it on, and held out his hand to her, "May I have this dance milady?"
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "Yes, you may my prince."
She put her hands on his broad shoulders and Koenma put his hands on her slender waist. Jasmine rested her head on his shoulder. She still couldn't get the battle and the kidnapping out of her mind. It still bothered her that she lost Kalem but, she was grateful that she got Koenma back. The prince then gently kissed the top of her head and held her close. He then said, "Merry Christmas Jasmine."
She smiled and accidently stepped on his toes again, "Sorry. Merry Christmas Koenma."
The two lovers continued to dance with Jasmine accidently stepping on Koenma's toes. She kept apologizing and the prince reassured her that it was alright. They didn't make love that night but instead they dance for a couple of hours and then went to bed, watching TV and cuddled.
