Another chapter, I'm not going to waste my time talking in this one, I want to get straight to the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own yu yu hakusho or any other characters. OR FRENCH WORDS LOL!

LAST TIME: Serene ran on and on until she felt she could go no farther, she had lost Kurama some time ago, leaving him behind after much effort. She was tired and only wanted to rest, but she knew as soon as she stopped he would find her again. So she kept running hoping to find a place where foxes wouldn't enter and where it was very hard to track someone. That's when she saw the ice around her, that's when she noticed she was running in snow, and that's where she collapsed.

Chapter 5: New Love

Serene's mind whirled and every memory passed before her eyes in a blur, the last thing she remembered seeing was snow. She couldn't feel the pain of the icy wind hitting her, nor could she taste the blood that seeped into her mouth. She could feel nothing at all, but she could see things, dark beings that stalked her sleep, and blood that ran down the walls of her mind......

The ice demon was out practicing his skills in fighting when he felt another spirit energy coming close to him, and fast. He summoned his ice sword and got into a fighting stance, ready to kill until, that is, he saw her. The ice demon first saw her face, glowing with anger and fear, then he saw her body pure white that blended with the snow, she hadn't seen him, and it didn't look like she would. He waited as a silent spector until she came closer, he was going to strike her down when she suddenly collapsed. The ice demon turned and walked away, but he didnt' get very far. He felt her spirit energy lower, until it was only another vibration in the dreaded icelands. He knew he couldn't leave her here, she was lost no doubt, for no fox ever entered this part of the land. He sighed and walked back to the girl, she was bleeding in every place possible. Her arms and legs cut by ice shards and her face was bearly visible under the thick layer of blood and hair. Her fox ears were blood red and pressed against the top of her head, and her tail was in mascre. Her breath came in ragged gasps and she started twitching violently. 'Have to get her into a warm place before she gets sick, if she isn't already' he picked the girl up and started carrying her. His frown turned into a small smirk as she snuggled to his warmth and clasped onto him for dear life......

Meanwhile Kurama started getting worried, he had lost Serene's scent long ago in the forest. She had just seemed to disappear, this was not going as Kurama thought it would go. Frazzled he gave up the search at nightfall and headed back to the others, he would have to tell them what had happened. On his way back he felt himself change, his silver hair turned red, his gold eyes went back to green and soon his speed decreased. He was now just Shuichi Minamino, instead of Yoko Kurama. 'Well it was fun well it lasted I suppose' then serene's face washed over his eyes and he went as fast as he could to get the others.

Serene mumbled something as the ice demon dressed her wounds, they hadn't stopped bleeding since he had brought her here. "Odd, that salve I put on should have stopped the bleeding!!" he said to himself as he wrapped her leg. "hm wha," The ice demons head shot up as the girl mumbled then jerked. "What...where..am..I.." she said and opened her eyes, the ice demon gasped as he looked into her midnight blue eyes. Serene's eyes widened as she looked at the demon before her, "Who are you!" she screeched and jumped back, falling of the bed with a crash. "Whoa, calm down there! I'm a friend, I rescued you a little while back!" the girl moaned in pain as she crawled onto the bed. "What about that other fox, is he here? Did you see him?" the ice demon shook his head, "No I haven't you are the only one that I've seen for the past two days." "TWO DAYS?!" she yelled, "Yes..don't yell you'll wake up the whole forest if you go and do that again!" he winced. "Sorry," she whispered to him, "Not a problem, let me introduce myself..I'm Touya the ice master. And you are?" he gestured to her and she struggled for the answer, "I'm Serene, Dark Mistress." Touya was taken aback, he knew the stories of the Dark Mistress, but she couldn't possibly be THE Dark mistress..could she? As if reading his mind she answered, "Yes, Dark Mistress of Hintango. Daughter of Sir Yukop Mirisha of the Flame and Mistress Toven Malindo of the Shadow." Touya was shocked behond speaking, he had no words for her, he knew the stories of this great leader. "The, leader of the, Teardrop team?" she nodded. "Yes," Touya bowed his head, if this truly was the dark mistress then she was one of the most powerful demons in the world..but then why did her spirit energy feel so dull! He looked up with confusion written on his face, "How did you end up here Dark Mistress? I thought the Flying Fire plains were near the human world." she smirked and looked at him as if he were stupid, "Yes, that's true. Everyone knows that is where the Fire Plains are, but..." her face turned solem as she continued, "I was captured one day when I was taking my shift. You see, I was out patroling when all of a sudden I was hit with something, I don't know how it happened, I must have ventured into the light. Then I remember being beaten and used, I was going to be sold when the spirit detective Yusuke saved me. He had his friends with him, Hiei Jaganshi, Kuwabara Kuzama, and Kurama" she spit the name out bitterly and Touya decided that those two didn't get along very well. "I'm sorry to hear that Mistress Shadow," "Call me Serene, I'm no longer worthy of that title." she looked down, and touya felt a pang of sorrow for her. "You will always deserve that title, you are after all the only darkness demon left that can cross the spirit world into the human world. and you are of royalty in two places in spirit world." he grabbed her hands, "Honor is true to those.." he started and she joined, "who have a true heart, but honor is a lie to those.." he let her finish, "who have no fire." he saw tears roll down her cheeks and her hands trembled in his, he pulled her into an embrace and held her. As she came into his arms he jerked slightly, somehow his ice cold heart seemed to melt, and though it hurt it felt good at the same time. He sighed and tightened his grip, he promised he would never let her go. "Je vous aime" he whispered to her, (A/N: I used french words because I dont' know the japanese words to that phrase. Plus I speak some french so...désolé!!) Serene gasped as she translated what he said in her mind and she replied, "Je vous aime aussi" she felt rather then saw Touya smile. (A/N: Sorry if you don't understand french for those of you who dont they just said, "I love you and I love you too" ok? ok!) Serene shivered and snuggled closer to this strange ice demon, for some reason he felt right to her. Almost as if she was ment to be with him. Touya realized this too, he felt the same way she did. 'Our bodies fit eachother, hers is perfectly curved to aline with mine, and she speaks ice language!' (A/N: Ice language is french now ok? lol. sorry it was the only way I could fix it! They will be speaking a lot of french love phrases so maybe you should find a translation site if not I'll have the translation page on the bottom ok?)

Serene looked up from Touya's chest and for the first time realized that his hair wasn't the same color..It was blue but his sharp bangs were sea green, and his eyes! She gasped as she gazed into his glass eyes, they looked like round ice crystals perfect in size and shape! Lost in his eyes Serene didn't see Touya's baffled expression, "Etes-vous d'accord?" she looked at him and smiled, "Nothing, I'm fine....just...pensée" Touya smiled at her and trailed his finger along her lips. "good night" he whispered and pushed her gently down on the bed, he then covered her up and watched as she fell asleep still holding onto his hand. That's when he noticed how well his hand fit hers, as if it were molded to be there.

Je vous aime aussi: I love you too

Je vous aime: I love you

Etes-vous d'accord: Are you ok?

pensée:thinking

Ok enough french, I think I've lost it!! That's another chappy sorry it's short but I'm tooooo tired to see the screen right now SORRY IF THE FRENCH ISN'T RIGHT I'M OUT OF IT TODAY!

Touya: She is a little out of it everyday don't mind her....

Darknight: I'm giving you five seconds to apologize before I hit you with my giant frying pan!
