Chapter 21 I'm very proud of myself for getting this far. I'm glad you guys enjoy it. Just three more chapters until the end of Generations: Present. So Read, Review, and Repeat.

Ash landed on the roof of Yomi's tower and sheathed her wings. Her bag was slung over her shoulder and she was listening to Hiei's iPOD. She took one ear bud out and listened for alarms. With out hearing any she snuck over to the door leading to the stairs down. Her eyes were constantly moving looking for anything that would detect her. Her ears were twitching trying to pick up any sign that she was caught.

She pressed an ear to the door by the lock and pulled out a bobby pin. She started fiddling and in a matter of minutes the lock clicked and the door opened. She smiled to herself as she silently walked inside, and didn't bother to close the door behind her. On silent feet she made her way down halls opening doors and not closing them. She was purposely letting them know some who wasn't supposed to be here was here. She even snatched a very pretty necklace out of a vault in Yomi's personal chamber.

Kurama opened the door to his room trying to escape the sound of the alarms going off. Ash looked up from her lap top and smiled at him.

"Hello Youko."

He glared at her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"He knows you're here. He can smell you everywhere."

She grinned, "I know."

"What are you doing here?" His fox ears started to make an appearance and twitched before he shoved Youko to the back of his mind.

Ash went back to clicking on her laptop, "fixing Hiei's iPOD."

"What's wrong with Hiei's iPOD?"

"There's only one song on it." She double clicked and "White Rabbit" started to play.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. I tried putting more songs on there. He got very angry with me. He only wanted "Purple Rain" on there. Though it's a good song I would've thought of Hiei as a Black Sabbath kind of guy, definitely not Prince."

Ash smiled, "Oh I put some Sabbath on there."

"Don't do Jefferson, he'd throw the iPOD."

Ash laughed, "I know." She doubled clicked and "It's Been a While" started to play. She nodded and dragged it to the play list she was making.

Kurama shook his head, "back to my original question, why are you doing this here in Yomi's kingdom? You know he hates you."

"Yeah well the feeling is mutual."

"Then why here?"

"Well the Council is in Raizen, pardon me, Yusuke's kingdom. My subconscious hate Mukuro, and you're here." she dragged another song over to the list.

"I thought you didn't have a problem with Mukuro?" Kurama sat on the bed next to her and started pointing at songs, "Sanitarium?"

Ash nodded and dragged the Metallica song, "my inner voice seems to think she is the enemy and wants to gut her."

"And why?"

Ash shrugged, "maybe because I watched her strip for him, but that doesn't make any sense. I never expected Hiei and I to exclusively date each other."

Kurama laughed.

"It's not funny. I growled at the mere mention of her name from him."

Kurama smiled knowingly.

"You know something I don't?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Love, one does not know until jealousy is felt."

"What the hell does that mean Yoda?"

"Oh you know what it means."

"I am not jealous."

"You won't listen to me will you?"

"No."

Kurama pointed to another song and Ash double clicked.

I want to take is eyes out

Just or looking at you

Yes I do

And I want to take his hands off

Just for touching you

Yes I do

And I want to rip his heart out

Just for loving you.

Ash smiled and looked at Kurama. Youko's amber eyes were looking back at her.

"You love him."

"No I loved you."

"No, you love him."

"Why do you say that?"

"You never blinked twice when I made out with females to get us into or out of places."

"It was part of the job."

"Hiei is with Mukuro."

Ash growled.

"See. It doesn't matter that they are just plotting war on this kingdom. You don't even want him to mention her name. You are jealous."

Ash looked down and sighed, "You may be right."

"May be?"

"Even if you are. It doesn't matter. Hiei isn't the love kind of guy."

"Any guy kind be the love kind of guy for the right female."

"I'm not the right female."

"You may be. Especially now."

"Why is now so special?"

Youko sniffed at her and he smiled like the fox that he was.

"You're pregnant."

Ash feinted.

She woke up peering into Kurama's green eyes.

"You think she's all right?" she heard Jins Irish accent.

Chu's came next, "Naw she just needs a pint."

"You big bafoon, she can't drink she's pregnant," that was Toya's cool voice.

"I'm not pregnant…" Ash's voice was groggy.

"I believe you are," it was Yomi's calm voice and Ash groaned, "I can hear both heart beats. Yours and your child's."

Ash sat up and Kurama automatically helped with an arm around her shoulders.

"Are you really gonna have a baby?" Rinku was too cute, but Ash glared at him anyways.

"We can discuse this later." Yomi turned at started to walk away, "we have business to deal with. Yusuke is here. Ash if you are to take refuge here you will fight for me."

"I can't fight for anyone. I'm the executioner of the Necromancers Council. I'm neutral."

"We'll sort through the details later. Follow."

Ash went to let Yomi sort out the details with her fist when Kurama grabbed her.

"Remember you can't fight now," he whispered in her ear.

"Then I'll raise someone to fight for me," she hissed back.

"Not now."

Ash huffed but followed Kurama and the others after grabbing the iPOD. They sat in the closet and listened to politics. Ash almost laughed out loud. Yusuke had the same political views as she did. Violent ones.

They all came out of the closet (LOL) and agreed that a tournament was a great idea.
