Disclaimer:YYH doesn't...* sob * belong to me * sob * and *sob * never will. I hate writing that bit, anyway onto the fic!

Dedicated to Nat who is currently writing 'The Talk Show to end all Talkshows' because she made me and Foxtails her co hosts! Well for three episodes anyway. I'm so honoured! Plus she gave me two mad squirrels! And because I took so long , this is an extra long chapter just to make up! So here it is enjoy!

The Princess and the killer seed- Sleeping pills and maidens.

~~~Mukuro's Palace~~~
In Mukuro's palace, it was havoc. Yomi sighed and once again tried to cover again unsuccessfully to cover his six sensitive ears with his hands. Suddenly Murkuro burst into the room and said,
"Everything's perfect! The room's redecorated, the traps laid out and the stage is set up, ready for tomorrow."
Yomi smiled weakly before saying,
"That's great dear. Have you fed Hiei today?"
Mukuro thought for a while before saying,
"I think so. He's breaking those chains and walls faster than I thought, I think I'll have to drug him for abit."
And with that Mukuro went to the potions room to obtain some of the most powerful sleeping pills she could get. Yomi sighed again and wished feverishly that the contest would finish soon so he could get some peace and quiet.

~~~Meanwhile...~~~
Hiei crashed through another iron wall and killed half a dozen youkai in the process. Still mumbling about curses under his breath, he walked cautiously through the dungeon. He had already crashed through 101 iron walls, killed 978 youkai, and sliced 1098 wards and chains yet he still couldn't find a way out!
"Mukuro no Baka!"
He cried and dodged another speeding arrow. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted...sweet snow! He incinerated the rest of the arrows with his ki before rushing over to claim his sweet snow. As he ate it (A/N: Strawberry, one of my favourites.) a brief thought of suspicion crossed his mind but he was hungry, and anyway he'd already finished the sweet snow.(A/N: So Hiei can eat at the speed of thought.) it was already too late.
"Ku'so!" He mumbled before falling asleep.

~~~ A day later ~~~

Yomi and Mukuro sat at their thrones excitedly.(A/N: Well Mukuro was excited, Yomi was just pretending so Mukuro wouldn't kill him.) waiting for the arrival of the contestants. Mukuro sent out invitations to the length and breath of all three worlds and no they were about to arrive.

The herald youkai started a fanfare and announced,
"Lady Keiko from ningenkai whose slaps can defeat countless!"
Lady Keiko walked in wearing a silk brown skirt and a blue top. Yomi sensed her arrival and said quietly to Mukuro,
"Isn't that Yusuke's wife? And she's a ningen."
"So? I don't mind and I'm not prejudiced against ningens."
Yomi sweatdropped and instead asked Keiko,
"What about Yusuke?"
Keiko snorted and said,
"We had a fight. You don't mind if I use this contest to make him apologise do you?"
Yomi was about to reply when Mukuro butted in,
"Of course dear! And if you win I'm sure Hiei won't mind sharing with Yusuke!" (A/N: He won't?)
Keiko smiled and sat down at the LONG table. (A/N: Specially made for the contest, the repair youko had his work cut out making the room big enough to fit it.) Next, the herald cried,
"Princess Botan! Her oar can be her deadliest weapon!"
Botan chirped,
"Ohayo, Mukuro-sama, Yomi-Sama!"
Mukuro greeted her when...
"STOP!" Yelled Koenma storming in.
"You can't do this!"
Yomi winced as the sound sent all six of his ears throbbing.
"Owww" he mumbled.
"And why not?" Asked Mukuro in her this-had-better-be-a-good-reason-or-else-you-will-die voice. Koenma gulped...
"Because...I'M in love with her!"
"Damn," Muttered Mukuro as she watched Koenma profess his undying love to Botan.
"Oh well, Bye!"
Said botan brightly as she hitched onto Koenma's arm and dragged him out of the hall.
"Ahem," coughed the herald.
"Princess Yukina who's healing powers are known throughout the land!"
The gentle looking little koorime came in.
"Um, Mukuro, sweetheart?"
asked Yomi.
"What?!"
Snapped Mukuro impatiently.
"Do you think she can stand up to Hiei's temper?"
he asked.
"I'm sure she can heal herself."
"But hasn't she got a ningen admirer?"
"Really? Who?" asked Mukuro ready to kill whoever it was and make the koorime free.
"Kuwabara."
Said Yomi VERY quietly hoping she wouldn't hear. But Mukuro has very good ears with Yomi for a husband.
"WHAT!?"
She screamed aloud as everyone stared and Yomi started to search for his earplugs.
"She's been with Kuwabara?"
Everyone watched Mukuro raving while unconsciously backing away...
"She's been made unpure, by-by that, that TOAD!"
Right on cue Kuwabara stormed in and carried the confused looking koorime out of the room. Mukuro sat down in a downright huff before motioning for the herald to continue.
"N-next-"
stuttered the herald.
"Get on with it, you're disposable y'know..."
Mukuro snapped. The herald immediately stood to attention.
"Next up Princess Karasu! Whose bombs will blow your brains out! Literally!"
Karasu stormed in black hair gleaming in the sun...

(A/N: Rosevine-NANI? I wrote that?
Karasu- * shrugs * So I influenced you into writing tat, so what?
Rosevine- * whacks him on the head with a mallet * NO ON INFLUENCES ME AND ESPECIALLY NOT YOU!
Karasu- Owww...
Rosevine- * Death glare * Hn, now get back into the fic.
Karasu- Hai...)

Even Mukuro couldn't help shuddering inwardly at the manic gleam in Karasu's eyes. Yomi, being blind, sensed the psychotic waves coming from Karasu, whimpered.

(Yukimi *my muse *-psychotic waves?
Rosevine-Well, she is a crazy, sadistic demon.... Anyways it's my fic, I write what I like!)

After another thousand princesses came in, the last two were arriving.
(A/N: well I'm NOT going to write another thousand princesses in that are no use to this fic!)
'Next up...Princess Hyaku! Evil you've never seen before!' announced the tired Herald.
Hayaku came in looking eerily calm, clad in black with black, and looked around with obsidian eyes, putting everyone on edge. She smiled slowly at Mukuro before sitting down in her seat.

' And finally we have Princess Kurama! The beautiful leader of all kitsunes with the ability of controlling plants!'

The jet green eyed and flame red haired princess came gliding into the room with a captivating smile. It at once captivated every male youkai in the room ( A/N: that could see as yomi is blind...) sand they all started drooling...
Before their girlfriends wapped them over the head with mallets.

Yukimi-what's wapped? O.0'
Rosevine- *shrugs * I have no idea, Foxtails told me to write the word in.
Foxtails-*puppy eyes* you don't like it? *Her bottom lip starts to quiver*
Rosevine- ^_^'''''''' of course we do! It totally fablickious!
Foxtails-fablickious?!
Rosevine-new word dear.
Muses Yukimi and Yuriko- 0.o''''''''''

Princess Kurama smiled gently and swept a neat curtsey before Mukuro and Yomi.
"Konnichiwa Mukuro-sama, Yomi-sama. I'm so glad to meet you!"
She said with her honey like voice. Now Yomi, after hearing Kurama's heavenly voice with all of his six ears swooned until Mukuro gave him a famous swoon-again-and-you-will-die-a-most-gruesome-death look which immediately made Yomi bolt straight up.

Yomi nervously cleared his throat (A/N: Mukuro was still giving him dagger ki looks) and when Kurama was seated he announced that the first test to become Hiei's bride would begin tomorrow and tonight they should prepare their weapons and catch some beauty sleep.

Mukuro too, stood up and added,
' My son Hiei...will not be joining us at the moment as he is... having technical difficulties however I would like to warn you that he has..Very HIGH spirits so anyone who doesn't posses a very, VERY strong Ki should advisedly leave and join another contest. I will not be held responsible for any pain, suffering, insults, casualties or death.'
(A/N: is it just me or does Mukuro sound suspiciously like a lawyer?)

At this many weak looking princesses turned pale and mumbled vague excuses like,
' I forgot I'm already married!'
'Ummm....why am I here? I must be sleepwalking!'
'Got things to do now...sorry'
'I'm late for my..tooth fairy appointment!'
before fleeing with their lives intact.

By now, the princesses present had been shortened to 678 princesses, so the all went gracefully to their chambers to sharpen knives, plot tactics and generally think of every way to win tomorrow's 'Tournament of the Maidens'...


Finally, fini! Hope you liked this chapter minna-san I took a lot of time over it (during boring lessons ^^)
