Disclaimer: I am saddened to say that I do not own YYH, except for my characters used in Hiei's First Love: Ivil, Rolan, the Manihari and Anakari clans and all of their members, and team explosion. And also the ones in this sequel so please don't steal. I work very hard on this fan fiction story. R&R please!

Me: o magic 7 ball! What do you say? Is this going to be a chapter or a prologue?

~Magic 7 ball reads "Prologue. You explain what has happened over the past 400 or so years."

Me: Thank you. Now...onto the Prologue! R&R please!

It was finally the year 2500 the way it was supposed to be: the Anakari clan was flourishing (top clan in the spirit world), Koenma wasn't in it deep with his father anymore (thanks to Ivil) and Hiei and Ivil had their castle on Hanging Neck Island. Now of course the castle was so huge that it could hold most of the Anakari clan and Ivil's team from the Dark Tournament. They wanted to stick together since they had gone through so much and were emotionally attached (even though they won't admit it face to face).

By this time Hiei and Ivil had two kids: a daughter named Haia and a son named Sorin.

Haia was the older sibling. She looked almost identical to Hiei, but feminine. She was always cutting her charcoal hair to look like her fathers since she hated long hair; she had Ivil's dark green eyes which at times gave even Ivil the creeps (when Haia got mad, it showed). Sorin was the total opposite. He looked practically identical to Ivil (except more masculine and for this cut under his left ruby eye. He got it from a fight he and Haia had when they he was a decade old.) and wanted to have long hair and rarely ever cut it, or at least he rarely got caught so that he could get it cut. Since the whole family's got amazing agility its literally a race against the clock before one of them gives up. ^_^

They've been living peacefully for several centuries with Haia and Sorin but every now and then there's a family brawl where Haia or Sorin would challenge Hiei or Ivil to a short battle to see if their skills had declined (they wanted to stay in tip shape incase Koenma had the whole family do a mission or they were attacked which probably couldn't happen seeing that the Anakari empire- - not clan, empire- - was so huge!

Team Explosion also had a small family....well at least they tried. Talon and Ivy tried a go at it. Sadly, Ivy had complications with her child; it tried to kill her while it was still in the womb! Talon had to stop the baby before it gave Ivy a one-trip ticket to an early grave. After that, they didn't dare to try again so they just left it at that. They focused on the bringing up of Haia at the time, before Sorin was even born. Tomoe tried her luck and had a similar problem; the baby grew to such a size that it almost crushed her lungs and heart. X'on witnessed all of the horror and helped them through the troubled times. He went to a small medical college and got a firm masters degree of demon anatomy. He was the castles doctor, if you may call it.

Kurama was also living in the huge castle; ever since his mother passed away almost 400 years ago, he had gotten over the fact that she was a human mother and humans rarely exceeded the 100 year mark. Poor Yusuke, Kaiko and Kuwabara had also died. Ivil felt that it would be a good thing to put their graves (including Kurama's mothers) on Hanging Neck Island so that they could visit them as often as they wished. (Heh, even Hiei got a little teary eyed when they buried Kuwabara. I guess all those years of pestering had formed a bond, a very strange one in fact, but no matter.)

Yukina had found out that Hiei was her half-brother from an unknown source and took it quite well. Hiei thought she would try and kill herself, but she opened her arms and heart to him and accepted him. She seemed to care less if her brother was a former criminal. Unfortunately she couldn't live at the castle since her real home was in the depths of the Ice world; she did visit from time to time and Hiei was glad she did so. He could finally talk to her like he had nothing to hide and didn't have to keep his eyes on Botan's free-range mouth. ^_^

Botan was still Koenma's assistant only now she did two jobs: assistant and part-time fighter for Koenma. Koenma finally realized that Botan had the skills and the training to help him besides just being his assistant. She's done fairly well; she helped Yusuke's and Kaiko's offspring battle the never ending criminals that seemed to plague their city. But no matter, they real deal is trying to keep Spirit world on an even balance and something might tip it in the wrong direction.

Something was coming up on the calendar: Hiei and Ivil's anniversary. They are unaware that something might disrupt that supposedly peaceful event....but you have to sit tight in order to find out ^-^ as the adventures continue!
