Disclaimer: I am saddened to say that I do not own YYH; only 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!

~In one of the small little towers (a.k.a. the kitchen) by the south tower ~

Hiei, Haia, Sorin and Team Explosion were all sitting at the long, glossy table except for Ivil who was standing next to Hiei's chair drinking her orange juice while everybody else had their o.j., bacon and toast with raspberry jam. Across from Hiei, Ivy and Tomoe watched with a weird, shocked look as they watched Haia and Sorin struggle to eat.

"O.O Um...Ivil. Don't-----you think that you should unlink them?" Tomoe finally spoke after snapping out of her gaze.

"Not until they can do one exercise with out fighting." Ivil says flatly as she sips her orange juice again.

"C'mon mom! This is ridiculous!" Haia shouts angrily at Ivil as she ignores Haia and everybody starts to argue.

Suddenly Lieutenant Skye appears in the doorway again and everybody grows silent as they look towards the door.

"What is it Lieutenant?" Ivil asked calmly as she made her way to the door, no longer holding her orange juice.

"Leader, the group you set to guard the items is online right now, waiting to talk to you." Skye said as everybody followed her into another close tower (a.k.a. the technology tower) as Ivil pressed a green button; Koenma's office flashed upon the screen, along with the Anakari group Ivil had left to guard the bands of Hadrian and necklace of Neashi.

"Yes, what's the news General Mist?" Ivil asked the female general of the group (she had short, somewhat flat crimson hair and sharp marigold eyes.)

"Well Leader, somebody tried to steal the items." General Mist said somewhat worried.

"Are they damaged in anyway?"

"Not a scratch, Leader Ivil."

"Good. Good. Have you caught the person?"

"No, Leader, we're still looking. We do, however, have a sample of blood from the person." General Mist said as she showed a patch of blood on the dull carpet of Koenma's office.

"Good. I'll be over there to check it out soon."

General Mist bowed her head and the screen went black; Ivil turned around to see the eager faces of Haia and Sorin wanting to come with her, Hiei and Tomoe (she had asked them to come with telepathically.)

"No." she said plainly "you can't come." as she walked out the door with Hiei and Tomoe.

~In Koenma's office~

"Huh...I can't recognize the smell Ivil. " Tomoe says as she gets up from the ground. "That blood is of somebody I've never seen or battled with."

"I wouldn't think so." Ivil said as she bent down, rubbed a drop onto her index finger and looked at it. "This seems too familiar to somebody I once knew---" Ivil said to herself but got cut off as Tomoe tapped her on her shoulder and pointed towards the door; Hiei was panting heavily and had a very wide expression on his face.

"THEY'RE GONE!!!"

Ivil couldn't believe what Hiei had just said. "What! How? How could they-- -" Ivil said, somewhat gritted through her teeth as Koenma went out the door.

"They can't be! No! My daddy's going to kill me!" Koenma whines.

"That is not good...." Ivil said in a very low voice as she looked towards the ground; pictures of the castle in flames burst threw her mind as she was taken aghast, snapping herself back into reality. She looked at Hiei palely. "I've got a bad feeling Hiei. We'd better get back."

Hiei and Tomoe both nod and quickly gathered up the group and the sample of blood and whisk out of Koenma's office.

~Back at the castle~

Haia was moving atop the tree branches, worried at what she might find up ahead. She gets to an small circular opening to find her deepest horror revealed to her, lying in a twisted puddle of blood; Hiei and Sorin were lying on top of each other with a glazed look in their eyes, struck to the heart...by a sword gash. Haia jumps down and inspects the mutilated bodies of her dad and brother; she lays her dad next to Sorin and rips apart his bloody shirt to find the fatal wound worst than she thought. It was almost the same with her brother, but less serious. She falls back onto her heels and puts her head down between her knees, breathing heavily as the tears seemed to pour out of her eyes, swirling in the blood on the ground. Haia looks up to find her mother, stricken with horror as she made her way to the bodies; Ivil literally collapsed as she knelt besides Hiei. She could barely speak a word, but her facial expressions spoke louder than words could. It was full of agony and sorrow, stunned and tortured as she looked at her grieving daughter. She, too, couldn't utter a sound, but she managed to mouth "It wasn't me." They look around them to find a scarce amount of people surrounding them, including Kurama, the ghosts of Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kayko...but most importantly...Master Genkai's. She looked at Ivil, then at Hiei's body and lightly shook her head.

Haia bolts upright, gasping for air as she looks around at her dark bedroom. She grips her head, scared at the intense dream she had; light tears fell down her face as something stirred near the left side of her. Panic stricken, she grabs a dagger from under her pillow and grabs for the fabric of a shirt: Hiei's shirt.

"Bad dream, Haia?" Hiei lightly whispered as Haia withdrew the dagger and let go of her dad. He sat down on her bed as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Yes...about you, Sorin, mom and those people from the Dark Tournament." Haia took a moment to collect her thoughts, and then summed up for Hiei what had happened in her dream. "You and Sorin were dead."

"I see. From what I can tell by your expression, you care about us more than what you express normally."

Haia lightly gasped as she noticed Hiei had gripped her hands.

"Haia, it's alright. It was just a dream."

"no, no. It felt like I was seeing something that's going to happen in the future..."

"Hmm...you're starting to sound more like your mother. She says that she saw the castle up in flames in a little blackout from reality earlier today at Koenma's." Hiei paused for a few moments. "But apparently it was only a little paranoia."

Those words seem to comfort Haia as she lightly smiled and Hiei let go of her hands and stood up.

"See you in the morning Haia." Hiei whispered as he lightly kissed her forehead and disappeared.

~Morning in the Kitchen~

Almost everybody was at the table eating what they had yesterday, except for Ivy. She wasn't at the table, nor had anybody heard a peep from her from last night. Talon was a bit worried since she normally came with him to the breakfast table; Tomoe nudges him from the left.

"Don't worry about it Talon." Tomoe said as she took a swig form her orange juice. "She's probably taking one more lap around the castle just for the hell of it. You know how much she wants to keep in shape." She whispered into his ears.

"Really, Talon. You've been tense lately. I hope its not about----" Ivil was referring to the death of their child; it was exactly two centuries ago to the date that Ivy tried to give birth to their unborn baby. She cut herself off as she saw how Talon stabbed his knife into the raspberry jam. He was spreading it onto the bread when Ivy made her way to Talon and covered his eyes..he set down the knife and smiled.

"Hey." Was all it took for Ivy to sit down in the chair to the right of him.

Something was different about Ivy, she was smiling more than usual which aroused Ivil and Hiei's suspicions; Ivil set down her bitten toast and looked at Ivy with an unsure look etched in her tired face.

"Is...everything alright Ivy?" Ivil asked after Ivy took a strip of bacon and ate it.

"Perfectly fine Ivil." Ivy answered in a creepy peppy voice.

"Something isn't right with Ivy, Hiei." Ivil said telepathically, keeping her eyes on Ivy as she ate her toast.

"Gee, you noticed?" Hiei said telepathically sarcastically looking at Ivy also. "I'll talk to her after breakfast since I don't want to arouse suspicion."

"You're kidding right? Her attitude right now is suspicious enough! I've got another bad feeling. It must've happened last night because I see some markings on her neck. Talon wouldn't do something like that to her." Ivil's right eye twitched as she spoke telepathically.

"I know." Hiei sighed as he gave into his own self, begging to ask Ivy what was really wrong. "Ivy."

"Yes?" she creepily replied in the same tone making Hiei lightly shudder.

"Are you absolutely sure nothing's wrong?"

"Yes."

"Then what are those markings on your throat?" Hiei asked Ivy telepathically as she looked at him with a nasty look on her face; she gets up and walks out the door, not even bothering to say a word.
