Shitza. So sorry you had to wait, but I have been working with exams and so on it really took me a while to do this. Anyway, hope you liked the last chapter, I surely did. Anyway, for those who truly love Chihiro/Kohaku pairings be warned, this chapter will or can disgust you. All though, those parts are just a phoenix imagination, but anyway I AM WARNING YOU. Cannot say more, you will have to read. But I want to show some differences in them.

Chapter 29 Flirting Phoenix

After weeks of travelling they finally came to the sea, this huge massive amount of water that seemed to be the worlds end. It had been a tiring journey, escaping from the events with Chip's father. Also large amounts of birds had been sighted, so they had more and more often been hiding and they never slept under open air. But through all this they had found a new useful companion. Chip was small, and young, but he hunted, spied and took for them. He had also become a really close friend to Deko, their poor mute friend. Chihiro smiled and cuddled closer to Kohaku, breathing the fresh air that somehow managed to remind her of her own world. She really missed her parents and wondered if she would ever see them again. She would give everything she owned to see them soon.

Chip sat on Deko's shoulder. When they saw the water Deko fetched up a rod from the package and started fishing. The two of them could spend hours just staring into the water. Yet if they caught anything, she didn't know.

Xing and Lin lay down on the beach, just enjoying life. It had been a while since they could relax and be together. Lin had loosened her hair, which played in the wind. The two off them lay heads turned towards each other, whispering and planning their future together.

Chihiro kissed Kohaku lightly on the cheek. He looked at her, smiling before kissing her in return passionately on the mouth. She smiled and laughed silently as they just stood there, enjoying being so close together. Unaware of that they were being spied on, but not by a normal bird.

In a cave, in a nearby cliff, the Phoenix of Love stood looking at them through a plate filled with magical water. Her eyes most rested on Kohaku, he was such a beautiful spirit, too good for this human to have. A plan formed in her head. Her powers lay over love, but not even all her powers had been able to rip them apart. Then she knew she would have to force them.

She walked over to a blood red coloured chamber that lay in the deepest area of the cave. In there she had some of the jealous powers she could possess in form of a demon. To Phoenixes it was rare to have demons so close, but she wasn't just any normal phoenix. Her past life had been a demon's and she still shared a bond with them.

"Make sure she gets back where she belongs!" she told the demons whom she had befriended over the year. These awful creatures smiled and flattered of. The Phoenix of Love smirked, that young spirit would be the perfect one for her, among her other hundreds of dead husbands.

Passion was what had driven this creature to the brim of insanity. Lust was her life and love was what she fed on. Thinking of it she could be seen both as good and bad. People feared her and praised her. More men loved her then females and the females that loved her were the ones who wanted to be like her. It wasn't hard to understand. Golden hair, dark eyes. Dressed in pink satin she walked through the relationships of the worlds, building and breaking them as she pleased.

For Chihiro things went very fast. One minute she could remember she was with the ones she loved, in the other she was lifted away. She looked down to see Kohaku confused wonder what had happened. So did many others. The demons that had taken her flew off, taking her back to her own world, as their mistress had asked them off. Silently she wondered if she would ever see them again.

The Phoenix of Love smiled victorious as she walked down to the beach to welcome the newcomers. She noticed males, of all kinds following her. Even the tiniest ant fell for her. But as she approached, to her surprise she found that her task would indeed be harder then suspected.

Kindly she invited them to join her, she also told them how sorry she felt and that she could help them. No one said anything to complain, no one, yet the fox spirit looked disliking at her.

Chip didn't like this phoenix. Of all of them this had to be the most egoistic of them. He had seen a phoenix once, when he had been hunting. But that had been years ago, when he had only been a baby. But he followed her, but wondered. There was more behind this then what met the eye.

Chihiro opened her eyes. To her amazement she found she was back, home where she had been starting. She looked at herself and found she was wearing her old clothes. Confused she ran over to the house and opened the door.

"Chihiro, dinner is ready!" her mother called from the kitchen. She sighed. Had everything been a dream, it all seemed so real?

To Reviewers: Another cliffhanger… hehe… what do you think happened? I have the answer, but you will have to wait for a while.

Winter –iel –o burzum: Thanks. And sorry for the incredible delay. I didn't mean to drag on the update or anything.

Storm-Maker: I can guess this was rapid, but oh well, couldn't be helped. I am starting something new as you seen and it was the meaning to make this chapter confusing. I did try to make it detailed.

Jean: OMG I had never intended anything like that. All though, as I said I've had dozens of exams lately, with more to come. Sorry for dragging it all. I am really sorry this took such a long time to write. Also, this story isn't finished for long, can't tell you more, but before I end this I'll try to get rid of Yubaba. Can't promise anything though.

To Reviewers in other Chapters:

Katana Blade: I am really happy to know people appreciate my OCs. After all, they do spice up the story.

End Notes: As I am suffering of a huge writer's block, not on this story but on one of my other fic, I guess it won't take so long then it would have taken to update this again. But before that, I have about five exams or something including hand in work. So, have no clue when I will be able to update next time.

Ps: For anyone who thinks I'm abandoning this… I AM NOT! I could but things haven't gotten that serious yet. I have abandoned fics, yes, but those have been so badly written I had been writing myself into a corner, as I describe it.
