Okay, as much as you all hate and despise them, this story has OCs. However, they did not just show up one day for immediate loving and acceptance by the canon cast. There is a lengthy series of fics concerning the arrival of these OCs, Andii Quinn's "New Meetings, Old Friends" being one of them. (Andii was actually a friend of mine whom I worked with on the fic, but she has lost intrest in story writing, so the story vanished into the Graveyard of Discontinuance. Bad Authoress.) However, most of these have been lost (moving computers, disks breaking, that sort of thing) and may never be seen again. I wouldn't even have posted this one, but my friends insisted. ALL OF THEM. Do you have any idea what it's like getting jumped by a four and a half foot tall anime addict who takes tae kwan do and having her sit on you until you promise to post a story? Anyway, here's the skinny on the OCs in the fic. (Good Sweet Mike, did I really just say "here's the skinny"? Oi.)

Name:Aruma
Hair:Black
Eyes:Brown
Height/Weight:Tall/slender
Info:Aruma was the daughter of the King of Makai, until she killed him and took the throne at a rather young age. She began getting nighttime visits from the theif Youko Kurama and soon married him, giving her lands and title to Mukuro, who still rules the land while she lives in Ningenkai after following Kurama. However, she is still recognized as Queen. More of a title thing, really, but I wouldn't tell her that....Perhaps fitting to the ego she shares with her youngest, she is a cat youko, and controls the element of night. (For more on this, refer to "New Meetings, Old Friends") Name:Minamino Kyoko
Hair:Black
Eyes:Brown
Height/Weight:Medium/skinny
Info:Kyoko is Kurama and Aruma's oldest daughter and was born in Makai. She's a wolf youko, making her extremely perceptive, but also a bit of a loner, which could explain her confusion and frustration when it comes to relationships. She controls the element of light, and her youko form looks much like Kurama's - only (more) female. (P.S: The similarity to authoress Kyoko Kasshu Minamino isn't a coincidence - we created our characters together.)

Name:Minamino-Jaganashi Akimi
Hair:Black
Eyes:Green
Height/Weight:Short/thin
Info:Akimi is the youngest Minamino, born in Ningenkai. Fufilling a propechy (again - refer to "New Meetings, Old Friends"), she was married to Hiei, to his initial disgust. However, he's grown to love her, and in a much more open way than he loves Yukina. She's the Princess and knows it, the compulsive, hyper side to Kyoko's calm and contemplative coin. She is extremely loyal and loving, you need only mention harming her friends or family to throw her into a rage. She is a cat youko and controls the element of fire, fitting to her hair-trigger temper. She also has a Jagan (this is a long story), due to the fact that Hiei's Jagan has seeped into him to become a true part of him, molding with his DNA. Unfortunately, it seems to be contagious, for when - um - after their honeymoon (o0) Akimi was revealed to have a Jagan (through the painful splitting of her forehead - ow.) Her youko form blazes her hair red.

Name:Jaganashi Hiromi
Hair:Black
Eyes:Red
Height/Weight:Tiny
Info:Hiromi is Hiei and Akimi's only daughter, a vivacious three-year-old with more power than she - or her parents - know what to do with. Really, nothing more can be said without giving away the story...this is the first one she's appeared in so extensively.

There yah go. Now you'll (maybe) know what's going on. Enjoy yourselves, but don't run too fast - Hiei likes a challenge o0;
