Nakoruru: Um. . .man, I've actually ran out of things to talk about for
openings. Let's have Ryo take over, I need some new material.
Ryo: I don't have anything to talk about either. Well besides the fact that I want to see the new Saiyuki DVD. You are going to get it today right?
Nakoruru (^o^): Oh yeah! Nothing gonna keep me from getting that. Must see more Sanzo, Gojyo, Hakkai, and Kougaji. *drools*
Ryo (hits writer with harisen): Stop drooling all over the place! We have to get to the openings.
Nakoruru: Oh yeah.
SL23- You're wondering what Alshra will do? It's obvious she gonna try to rip Serena's head off, as for what she will do to Ryo and Rini, let's find out!
The Masked Mistress- Yep, hands full indeed. And don't worry, I haven't done a story yet that's ended on a bad note so no angst ending. And I don't think anyone but Hotaru will ever settle the difference of things. Sad, huh?
Nicole- Cool! So you're finally on too, tell me if you write some stuff, it would be fun to read it. And I'm glad chappie 2 cleared things up for you, I told you it would.
Bunnychu- Thanks and I can't wait to read the next chapter of Time Chaos, that's a really good one.
Ryo: Now let's get on to finding out what happens to me, and my family.
~~~~~~~~~~ ********* ~~~~~~~~~~
Serena looked up from her book to find Hiei standing close to her. His crimson eyes looked at the sky, then glanced over Crystal Tokyo before meeting her deep blue eyes. (A/N: If anyone wants to know, Serena went back to Crystal Tokyo and let the kiddies run a bit wild around the palace.) Closing her book, Serena tilted her head to the side, trying to figure out what Hiei was thinking.
"Something on your mind, Hiei?" Serena questioned with a gentle smile.
For a moment Hiei said nothing, then started to open his mouth. Before he could utter a word, concurrent squeaks filled the air and two objects clamped onto his legs. Serena stifled a giggle as the two little girls, one with pink hair and red eyes, the other with brown hair and eyes, looked up at the male with bright eyes.
"Uncle Hiei, you're back!" Emi said. "Is Otou-chan back too?"
"Otou-chan, where did you go?" Rini said.
Simultaneously, both girls asked whether or not Hiei brought them anything back from where he was. Hiei stared down at both girls, before trying to get them to unclamp his legs. Serena continued to silently giggle as the effort was unless and the girls continued to stay clamped to his legs. Finally, she stepped in to assess the problem. "Emi, Rini, settle down. Go ask Setsuna to give you something sweet from the cookie jar." Both girls looked at Serena then unclamped themselves from Hiei.
"Okay!" the two girls said simultaneously, then ran off down the hall to find and bother Setsuna, another of their favorite games as of late.
"Just remember, you spoiled them both," Serena reminded as Hiei stared at the two disappearing figures of both little girls as they found their target and screamed a startling hello at the woman. (A/N: As anyone can see, Rini is certainly becoming a tiny pink haired terror, but she does have respect for her mother. If I did a come back from the future tale, I'm sure that she would be totally different from her anime counterpart. So you have no reason to dislike her now, Bunnychu! ^ ^)
"Are you trying to start something?" Hiei said with an amused brow. Before Serena could move, Hiei grabbed her and captured her in his embrace. "Well?"
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not," Serena replied placing her arms around his neck. She pulled him closer to her, looking up into his eyes. "What was it you were going to tell me earlier before your two twin terrors interrupted?"
"Nothing," Hiei murmured as he leaned forward, brushing his lips to hers. Hiei wondered if he should consider that woman that had approached him a real threat. He had never gone against his instincts before, and right now they pricked at him. That woman. . .something about her had been powerful, yet he hadn't sensed any malice towards himself. There was still a likely possibility that she was the one that Koenma spoke to him and the others about.
Her timing after all, was coincidental towards what Koenma had said. If she didn't come after him, would she try to go after the others next. He shouldn't worry, but his instincts told him better. And as said once, Hiei did not go against his instincts. Pulling back out of the kiss, Hiei stared down at Serena. He would never in his life betray this angel of his. She completely his whole existence, there was no way he could leave her, even if his life depended on it.
"Hiei?" Serena said. She could sense something was wrong. They hadn't been together for four years now for nothing. She held a close bond with him that could never be broken. "Is something the matter?"
Hiei looked down into her concerning blue eyes and knew there was no way that he could keep this from her. In the time that they had met, and fell in love, a bond tighter than anything else in the Ningen Kai, Makai, and Rei Kai had formed. "I can't keep anything from you can I?" A smile curled the corner of his lips. "I was approached today by some woman. She said I interested her, meaning that she-"
"She wanted to be with you." Serena's eyes widened, she almost forgot how incredibly beautiful Hiei was. He could have had any woman he wanted. She also realized that if he had wanted to be with any other woman, he would have. But he had chose her, and her alone. He had told her he loved her, and no other woman. "And you turned her down, didn't you Hiei?"
Hiei was surprised she knew. "How-"
"If you would have told me immediately. You're not one to beat around the bush about things. And I know your heart like nobody else. You would rather die than leave me, Ryo, and Rini. But I can't understand why it bothers you. I'm sure if there wasn't something more, you would have put it out of your head by now. So what is it Hiei?"
Serena continued to amaze him more. She could read him almost as well as Kurama did sometimes. If Hiei had still be his old self, he would have found it agitating, now he found it interesting. Maybe even a little relieved. "It has to do with what Koenma said."
"The mission?" Serena inquired.
"Yeah. Several young male youkai have gone missing as of late. He believes they've been kidnapped. All of the youkai that have gone missing have been young beautiful males. Koenma told us to be on guard in case," Hiei said.
"That's understandable. I mean there's you, Kurama, Toya, and Jin. All of you are incredibly cute. But you guys can take care of yourselves. I'm sure that there's nothing to worry about. So you think that this lady that approached you is the one kidnapping the youkai," Serena said.
Hiei nodded. "She was a youkai. A powerful one I'm sure. She was masking her youki, but I caught a good feel of it. Yet no malice towards me."
"You're worried that she might go after the others since you turned her down. If you're worried, we can go check on the others and tell them just in case," Serena suggested. "Let's go. I'll go get Ryo, Kazuya, Emi, and Rini. I'm sure Setsuna's about to be ran up a wall anyway." Just as Serena was about to go, Hiei grabbed her hand. Serena turned her eyes back to the koorime. "Hiei?"
"I just wanted to tell you that no matter what happens with this case, I will be by your side no matter what. My heart belongs to you alone."
"I know, Hiei. I've always known that," Serena smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~ ******** ~~~~~~~~~~~
"So you think that this woman you met today was the one that Koenma was talking about?" Hiei and Serena had managed to gather together Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Jin, and Touya. Hiei was telling the others about his incident with the female youkai on the way back to Crystal Tokyo.
"She might be, I'm not exactly sure," Hiei said, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at Kurama. The youko went into deep thought for a second before looking over at the others. "What is it Kurama?"
"I wonder," he said.
"Wonder what?" Toya inquired.
"If she's only after Hiei. She hasn't appeared to anyone else. You said you could tell she was strong, Hiei. Maybe. . .she isn't after anyone else. And if she was as strong as Hiei thought, why didn't she kidnap him right then. Not unless she thought she could seduce him into following her. Maybe that's how all of the young males were taken without a struggle," Kurama said.
"That's an interesting theory. That could work," Toya responded.
"So what exactly does that mean?" Yusuke said.
"That Hiei should be extra careful if she's only after him, and the rest of us should be on our toes if she's going to come after the rest of us," Toya remarked.
"Well you guys still have us to fall back on if anything happens," Lita spoke up. Her and the other senshi were there to hear what was going on also. "Nothing will happen to anyone as long as we stick together and believe in ourselves, right?"
"That's right, Lita. Nothing will happen, but I wonder why Koenma didn't say anything about protecting my Shishi," Mina pouted as she snuggled the male who looked as if he was going to use his dimension cloak to transport her some other place. "My Shishi is so cute, don't you think?" There was only silence as everyone headed home for the day. "Hey! Where's everyone going?"
"Home maybe," Shishi offered.
"Yeah, but don't worry Shishi-chan! I'll protect you against sleazy bad women that will try to take you away from me," Mina said as she continued to cuddle him.
"Mina, could you not do that out in public," Shishi said with a flush.
"Why not?" Mina pouted again, continuing to snuggle and cuddle and all that other stuff to Shishi.
"It's embarrassing," Shishi said, the flush on his cheeks growing ever so brightly.
"Ah! My Shishi's blushing!" Meanwhile as that strange display is going on, the focus of the story changes back to Serena and Hiei. Rini and Ryo were actually walking behind their parents in order to give the two some privacy to talk. Ryo didn't really understand it, but his sister insisted that their parents needed to talk about some very important things.
"Hiei, do you think that what Kurama said could be true? Do you think she's only after you?" Serena turned her eyes on the koorime. She was sure there was worry in her arms, but she couldn't help it. The prospect of someone taking Hiei away from her forever was not an easy thing to come to terms with. Her eyes then shifted to Rini and Ryo. Both we're still very young and would not comprehend what was happening. The last thing she wanted was to upset them.
"Don't worry, no matter what, everything will be fine," Hiei said. "Rini and Ryo are strong." Serena grabbed his hand, squeezing it lightly.
Not too far from where the two were, there was someone that was spying them. And with growing fury at that. Alshra, the youkai that had approached Hiei before was not at all happy with what she found. How could Hiei, a strong youkai as he, fall in love with a pathetic ningen woman as the woman he was with. And to add to the indignation was the fact that they had children.
"Who does that hussy think she is? How dare she steal my Hiei? She'll pay for what she's done," Alshra growled. Slipping out from wherever she had stationed herself, she manifested herself in front to the happy family. Serena and Hiei both came to a stop, seeing the woman. Alshra rose her hand and pointed at Serena. "Woman, how dare you?"
"What?" Serena narrowed her eyes, she could sense the powerful aura that this youkai was giving off. Serena reached for her broach just in case there was a fight. With a quick glance back to her children, Serena focused on the dark haired youkai. "Rini, take your brother and go find Yusuke. Me and your father will come get you once we're done here, okay sweetie?"
"Mommy," Ryo said.
"Don't worry Ryo, we'll be fine," Serena assured.
"Come on Ryo, we gotta let Mommy and Otou-chan do this. They'll be fine. They'll really strong." Rini took her brother's hand and pulled him away from the two and the youkai woman. Once the two children were gone, Serena pulled out her broach, raising it in the air.
"Millennia Moon Crisis Call!" Serena was soon draped in her Millennia Moon attire. "What do you want from us? Who are you?"
"I though you would never ask," purred Alshra. "The name is Alshra, a powerful and completely irresistibly sexy youkai. And what I want is for you to get away from Hiei. He's mind and I don't appreciate you trying to steal his heart away from me!"
"Don't disillusion yourself," Hiei said as he pulled out his sword. "Are you the one that's been kidnapping youkai?"
"Oh, don't worry my beautiful Hiei. They were nothing but merely play toys. They would never have been able to take your place in my heart. Now it's time for us to leave the Ningen Kai and become lovers."
"Didn't I just tell you not to disillusion yourself? I would never go with someone like you," Hiei said. "My heart will never belong to you. Get it through your head and get ready to be imprisoned."
Instead of Alshra going off on Hiei, she flickers furious ruby eyes at Serena. In her hands appeared the garrote she used before. Clenching it tightly in her hands, she smirked at Serena. "You think you can take me on little girl. My power is more than you could ever handle. Let's see what you can do." Raising up a hand, she created a ball of black substance. "Here catch!"
Serena was not at all prepared for what was to come. Instead of the ball of whatever it was that Alshra threw at her bouncing off her shield, it actually compressed around it. Serena's eyes widened, noting she could not get out of the ball. "Hiei!" Serena pounded on the hard cold substance that felt sort of like ice. "Hiei!"
"The hell," Hiei muttered. He took off towards Serena, but was caught off guard by wire that wrapped around his body.
"I suggest you don't move my little pet. The harder you struggle the more the wire tightens, until. . .well, I don't think you would like to wind up in small pieces. The last person that tried to escape met a very painful end at the hands of that wire. So be still until I finish off this heretic." Alshra sashayed over to where Serena was trying to use the power of her crystal to break the barrier without much success. "Ah, I guess this will be the last time you see my beloved Hiei. Consider yourself lucky that I decided to finish you off quickly."
As Alshra was raising her hand, a spark shot at her. Sweeping her hand out, she created a barrier that blocked the blow. Standing with Kurama and Jin was Yusuke. "I suggest you back away from those two before I fire my spirit gun again, and this time it will get through the barrier."
"Hmph, the puny spirit detective I've heard so much about," Alshra said. "I guess I'll take my leave then." Instead of her leaving alone, she took the bound koorime with her. "See you later. Next time little girl, no one will interfere." And with that, she disappeared. Serena screaming Hiei's name until she could no longer sense his youki. Slumping to the ground, still inside her prison of ice or whatever it was, she screamed.

Nakoruru: The end. . .just kidding don't hit me. There are other chapters so don't get bent out of shape.
Ryo: You know that's not funny.
Nakoruru: I know, but seriously, that was a good chapter, don't you people think so? I think the next chapter will be even better once the gang start their search of Hiei in the Makai. Lots of adventure and all.
Ryo: That chapter comes out Saturday cause hopefully doing the rest of the week we get some time to write it. So look for it Saturday. Oh, Nakoru, did you get it?
Nakoruru (glint in her eye): Oh yeah! (pulls out DVD) Saiyuki Volume 4! Oh, and I so have to go back and reserve copies of 5, 6, and 7!
Ryo (O.O): There are more on the way! Go reserve the copies! You must! Okay everyone, if you haven't noticed, we have an intense love of Saiyuki right now that almost outweighs our insistence to watch Full Metal Panic.
Nakoruru: R & R everyone while we get to work on the next chapter, watching Inu Yasha, reading a bit of manga, and some other stuff. See you Saturday.
Ryo: I don't have anything to talk about either. Well besides the fact that I want to see the new Saiyuki DVD. You are going to get it today right?
Nakoruru (^o^): Oh yeah! Nothing gonna keep me from getting that. Must see more Sanzo, Gojyo, Hakkai, and Kougaji. *drools*
Ryo (hits writer with harisen): Stop drooling all over the place! We have to get to the openings.

Nakoruru: I know, but seriously, that was a good chapter, don't you people think so? I think the next chapter will be even better once the gang start their search of Hiei in the Makai. Lots of adventure and all.
Ryo: That chapter comes out Saturday cause hopefully doing the rest of the week we get some time to write it. So look for it Saturday. Oh, Nakoru, did you get it?
Nakoruru (glint in her eye): Oh yeah! (pulls out DVD) Saiyuki Volume 4! Oh, and I so have to go back and reserve copies of 5, 6, and 7!
Ryo (O.O): There are more on the way! Go reserve the copies! You must! Okay everyone, if you haven't noticed, we have an intense love of Saiyuki right now that almost outweighs our insistence to watch Full Metal Panic.
Nakoruru: R & R everyone while we get to work on the next chapter, watching Inu Yasha, reading a bit of manga, and some other stuff. See you Saturday.
