Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or it's characters. I do own Angela, Star, and the twins. I do not own Medievil or any of it's characters or weapons.
AN: I think this story will go faster. I just realized the griped is gripe and gripped is grip. I totally had that confused in the last story. Oh well, sorry.
REVISED AN: I added a part where Angela finds out about the Tournament for King and have adjusted a few things so that it no longer sounds as if there had been only one tournament since Yusuke first initiated the tournament. I had written half of this story before I had seen the ending of YYH. Also, I'm guesstimating on Yusuke's age when Raizen died. Also, I was doing a time line and found some inconsistencies in the stories dealing with time so there might be some time detail changes to make it fit into a time line.

Chapter One
"Oh, I can never get over the beauty of this place. The stars are so close here," sighed a woman with long ash blonde hair. She was laying on the roof of a little cottage that rested by a large lake. She turned her sparkling green eyes to her companion, a dark haired man with red eyes. "You do know how to make me happy, Hiei," she said.
Hiei smiled slightly. "Hn," was all he said.
The woman smiled. "I recognize that 'hn'. You're totally pleased with yourself. Does it make you happy to make me happy?" she teased.
Hiei smiled some more. "Angela, do you even have to ask that?"
Angela leaned over and kissed him. She laid back down and continued to star gaze. A bright light streaked across the sky. Angela gasped. "Oh, a shooting star. Quick Hiei, make a wish!" she said as she closed her eyes. Hiei smiled. A few seconds later, Angela opened them again, smiling.
"What did you wish for?" he asked.
Angela smiled some more and kissed him again. "Nothing. I already have everything that I want."
"Hn."
"What did you wish for?" she asked.
"To always make you happy," he replied, smiling.
"Well, then...What does a genie say? Oh...Your wish has been granted," she said.
This time it was Hiei to initiate the kiss.

The meteorite landed in the middle of a deep forest where it glowed a sickly blood red, pulsating an evil aura, like some omen of doom. Almost immediately, the forest around it started to warp and change, turning into a land from a nightmare. However, no one was there to witness this, no one would go near the place for a month. No one would be able to sound the alarm for what the meteorite held within it's glowing orb. No one would be prepared for what would come.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey, Hiei, Angela," a tall red haired man said as Hiei and Angela walked into a shrine.
"Hi, Kuwabara," Angela said. Hiei said nothing. -Back to his normal distant self,- Angela thought, smiling.
"The twins are sleeping, so is Yukina. We were up all night with them," Kuwabara said, running his hand through his hair. "Oh well, soon they should start to develope a regular sleeping habit, hopefully," he said, hands in a prayer like fashion, looking up to the sky. Angela laughed. Kuwabara laughed right back, saying "Don't worry, in eight months you'll be doing the same thing."
Angela nodded. "We know. Hiei's already had practice in keeping up all night. I've been having trouble sleeping, and he'll stay up until I'm fast asleep."
Kuwabara nodded. "That's the job of a husband. I'm glad to see that the Shrimp can do something right," he joked.
At that point a tall dark haired man with a red haired woman came in. "Hi, Yusuke, Star," Angela greeted them. Yusuke nodded his greeting and Star hugged Angela.
"What's this about Hiei?" Yusuke asked, yawning. It was early morning and he and Star had come to watch the twins while Kurwabara went to work and Yukina rested.
"Oh, we were commenting on how Hiei can do me right," Angela said mischeviously.
Yusuke made a face. "Ugh! I didn't want to know that!" he complained, then he laughed. "So what are you two doing in Human world?" Yusuke asked.
After Angela and Hiei had married, they had moved to Demon world, so when Hiei was working with the demon border patrol he wasn't too far away from Angela. "Hiei has a break and we wanted to drop in and say hi," Angela said. She turned to Kuwabara. "Where's Shizuru?"
"She moved in with Drake," Kuwabara said. He looked at his watch. "Gotta go. Seeya guys later."
"Seeya," Angela and Star said.
"Don't let the brats kill ya," Yusuke joked.
Kuwabara turned around, remembering something "Oh and the twins shouldn't need to feed for another thirty minutes."
"Okay," Star said.
Star turned to Angela. "Look!" She held up her left hand. A small silver ring adorned her ring finger.
"Oh!" Angela exclaimed as she hugged her friend. "You're getting married! I'm so happy for you!"
"Hn," Hiei said, then added "Congratulations."
Yusuke smiled. "Thanks, Hiei. I wanted to wait for the right moment, but then I remembered what happened between you and Angela, and even though there's no more Darkness and it's minions, I realized that you never know what will happen tomorrow. So I went ahead and proposed."
"I'm so happy that we're such a good example of how tomorrow might not come," Angela replied, eyes rolling.
Yusuke put his hand behind his head. "Well..."
At that moment a crying started. "Oh it's one of the twins," Star said, heading out a side door. Angela followed her.
They walked into a house addition at the back of the shrine. Inside they went into a room painted pink and yellow, with pink butterflies and yellow chicks.
"I wonder what our baby room is going to look like?" Angela wondered as she walked to a pink crib holding a baby girl with a tuft of red hair. She picked her up gently. "Shsh. It's alright. It's alright, Sakura," she said softly, holding the baby and rocking her gently.
"You'll be a good mother," Star said as she checked a baby boy in a yellow crib, he also had a tuft of red hair.
"Thanks," Angela said softly as Sakura fell back to sleep.
"So...Ready for papahood?" Yusuke asked.
Hiei shrugged. "I'm not sure. But I do know one thing, I'll do my best to be a good father and to protect my family."
Yusuke nodded, "I know that. I don't think a baby could have better fathers than you and Kuwabara. And having mothers like Angela and Yukina is like a blessing." Hiei smiled.
He was about to say something when a red haired demon flew in. "Hiei!" he gasped, out of breath. He had flown his fastest to get there.
Hiei's eyes narrowed. "What is it, Jin?"
"Something awful has happened! Enki was murdered!" Hiei's and Yusuke's eyes widened. Jin continued, "Everyone but the higher ups of border patrol think he died of natural causes but we suspect it was assassination! Mukuro has called for a meeting of the higher ups!"
Hiei nodded. He turned to Yusuke. "I'll leave Angela here. I don't won't to risk her life and the babies if it really was murder."
Yusuke nodded. "We'll protect the girls and the twins with our lives," he said, meaning Kuwabara's, Hiei's and their friend Kurama's wives, Star, Shizuru and the babies. Hiei nodded and left with Jin.
Angela and Star came in. "Where's Hiei?" Angela asked.
"There was an emergency in Demon world and he decided to leave you here for safety," Yusuke said. Angela nodded. She looked out the door, concern in her eyes.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"As you've all heard, King Enki is dead. Everyone 'knows' that he died from choking on his food. However, we know that he died from being poisoned," said a woman with orange hair named Mukuro at the meeting which consisted of her,a man with long black hair, several ears and several horns named Yomi, Hiei, a group of men known as the DT gang, a bald man named Hokushin, and a few others. "We don't know who the culprit is, but we intend to find out. The tournament for king will begin in a few weeks, Yomi and I will not participate. If word about the poison leaks out we'll be the prime targets. The border patrol will of course enter, but you all will also be there for another reason. We suspect that the culprit or culprits will participate, you will be undercover as fighters to find out who it is, or at least get clues. Understand."
"Aye, but if one of us wins, will we still get to be king?" Jin asked.
Mukuro smiled. "Of course."
"Do you suspect the lower officers might be a culprit? Is that why you've only called the higher officers?" Hokushin asked.
"I chose to tell you because I can tell that none of you are the culprit and because I trust you the most with this mission. You all are most likely to get far in the tournament. And we need people undercover to go far in the tournament. And yes, I slightly suspect some of the lower officers," Mukuro admitted with a frown. "Dismissed." Everyone filed out of the room.
Mukuro stopped Hiei. "I'm sorry Hiei. I don't mean to drag you so far way from Angela. If you would like, I can call Yusuke and Kurama here with Angela. They can protect her, not to mention all of us will look out for her."
Hiei thought about it. "Can you guarantee her safety?"
"Yomi, I, Yusuke and Kurama will be at her side at all times. She would be safer here near you," Mukuro said.
Hiei nodded. "Yes, I can see your point. I'm also sure that she would find her way here at some point." -I know Mukuro is trustworthy, but I don't want anyone else to know about Angela's pregnancy. The less that know the better,- he thought.
"How about you go and get her," Mukuro said. "I'm sure you're worried about her." Hiei nodded and left.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hello Hiei," a blue haired woman said when Hiei walked into the shrine a few days later. She had a playpen set up in the large room holding the twins.
"Hello Yukina. Where's Angela?" Hiei asked, coming to look at the twins.
"She's resting. The first month can be hard," Yukina said.
Hiei nodded. He headed to the house addition. He walked up the steps to their room that they shared whenever they visited, thinking. -Is it a good thing to bring her? But I know she'll worry constantly about me. I don't won't to put her in that much stress, not in her condition. I know Mukuro is right about how being in Demon world will be the safest thing. Besides she'll have the toughest demons protecting her. And I'll be there at her side, when I'm not fighting.- He walked into their room to find Angela sleeping soundly. Hiei smiled. He sat on the bed beside her, and leaned over to kiss her forehead. Angela rolled over, waking up.
"Hey, I've missed you. What happened?" she asked, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"King Enki died. A new tournament for king will be starting in a few weeks, I'm entering and I thought you might like to come," he said, not wanting to mention that the death was more than likely murder.
Angela nodded. "I would love to be there to cheer you on."
Hiei smiled. "I know you would."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well, it's been awhile but the place looks the same," Yusuke said a few weeks later as he, Angela and a tall red haired man stepped into a large stadium with a huge screen tv.
"It seems most reasonable to use the same stadium from the last tournament, considering they didn't have much time to build a new one," the red head said.
"I guess you're right Kurama," Yusuke said as he looked around. "Hey, there's Jin and Touya! Hi guys!" Yusuke waved his hand, calling over Jin and a short blue haired man.
"Hello Yusuke, it's been a few months," Touya said.
"Where's the rest of the DT gang?" Yusuke asked.
"Oh, they're around," Jin said. "Are you joining?" he asked, ears wiggling, hoping that he was so they'd get a chance to fight each other. Yusuke had participated in the first tournament but had not joined in the last three.
Yusuke shook his head. "Nah, we're just spectators this time."
Touya turned to Angela. "You look different from the last time I saw you at the wedding," he said as he hugged her.
Angela smiled nervously. -Is it that obvious? I know Hiei doesn't want anyone else to know about the baby. But it will start to show soon. Am I already looking fat?- "Um, the last time you saw me I was wearing all white," she said, indicating her outfit. She was wearing black pants and a dark green tight t-shirt.
Touya squinted, not sure if it was the outfit or something else. "I guess you're right."
"I say the sheila looks great in anything she wears," a tall man with a blue mohawk said behind them. "Though I bet Hiei says you look great when you're wearing nothin'."
"Talk about rude, Chu," a small boy said beside him. "Hi everyone. Sorry Angela."
"Hey Rinku, it's okay, " Angela said, laughing. "I can take dirty comments and jokes. After all, I'm friends with Yusuke."
"Hey! I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult," Yusuke said, feigning injury.
Kurama turned to the screen. "It looks like Suzuka is battling." The group turned to see a tall man with blonde hair battling a skinny blue man. "Hm. He seems to be doing well. I'd say he's been practicing the past two months."
Jin nodded. "Aye, and the battle against the Darkness sure gave all of us a hard training."
Kurama frowned, not really wanting to be reminded of that time. -Though good did come out of that battle. Hiei and Angela finally married, and so did I and Botan, and Yusuke fell in love again. Still that was a terrible time. We lost so many friends,- he thought.
"Oh! Look in the corner screen. Shishiwakemaru looks like he's getting his butt whipped, literaly," Rinku exclaimed, pointing.
Angela laughed, she was looking at the screen also. The others looked at the corner screen. Another blue haired man was fighting an ogre with a chain whip. Shishiwakemaru really was getting his butt whipped by the chain.
"Poor Shishi. At least it's not his face," Yusuke said.
"Actually it might be better if it was. Then all the fan girls would kick the ogre's ass," Hiei said, walking up to them. He took his place beside Angela.
"True," they all said.
Angela yawned. "Sorry guys, I think I'm going to call in early. It was a long journey," she said. "Besides, I want to be fresh tomorrow for Hiei's fight."
Hiei smiled. "I think I'll join you." Angela smiled and held her hand out to Hiei, who took it.
"Seeya tomorrow," Yusuke said.
"Goodnight you two," Kurama said. The other four gave their own 'seeya's and 'goodnight's.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hiei closed the door to their room. "Wow, talk about a bed..." Angela said walking around the big four poster bed. She turned and smiled at Hiei. "I wasn't really 'tired'. It's just a great excuse to get you alone."
Hiei smiled. "Hn."
She looked around and spotted her suit case. "I guess I'll get into something more comfortable," she said, smirking. She pulled out a black nightgown, and went into the bathroom that was attached to the room. Hiei smiled when he heard the shower start to run. After a few seconds, he decided to join her.
An hour later they were laying in bed, Hiei holding Angela. "Hiei?" she asked.
"Hn?"
"You're not here just because of the tournament are you?" she asked intuitively. Hiei was silent. Angela turned to him, eyes showing concern. "I can feel it. You're nervous and worried. And it's not because of the battles."
Hiei's eyes darkened. -I can't tell you why I'm really here, Angela. It's for your own safety,- he told her telepathicaly. Angela nodded.
She was silent for a bit. -Hiei? Do I look fat?- she finally asked him.
Hiei stared at her. He couldn't understand why she would ask that telepathicaly. -No. Why?-
-Touya said that I looked different. I was worried that he could tell I was pregnant.-
Hiei looked at her, then started to chuckle. "Don't worry. If they do find out, I doubt they'll tell. I just want to try to keep it secret as long as possible," he whispered. Angela nodded and snuggled against him. Soon she fell asleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/Angela sat in a couch swing hanging from a cherry tree in bloom. All around her were walkways of grass floating through space next to a big gentle sun. Cherry blossoms floated everywhere, littering the grass, falling into her hair, and drifting into outer space. It was peaceful here. She loved to visit this dreamscape. It wasn't the first time that she wished this place really existed. She looked to the empty seat beside her. Usually Hiei would join her in this dream. She wasn't really surprised that he hadn't tonight. -He has alot on his mind at the moment,- she thought.
Suddenly the slight wind that was usually in the dream stopped. Everything became dead still and quiet. -What?- She felt something coming from deep space. -What is it?- As she concentrated on the feeling, she got a vision of bloody wings and melting flesh. Then a pair of eyes flashed across her vision. The white in the eyes was replace by blood red, the irises were like a smoldering ember, a glowing red. As they stared at her, she got a feeling of outrageous hate and a thirst for revenge.../
Angela sat straight up in a cold sweat and gasping. Hiei sat up next to her. "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
Angela shook her head. -What is wrong? I...I...can't remember...What scared me so bad? Was it a nightmare? I just can't remember.- She tried to collect her thoughts. She shook her head again. "It's nothing. I just think I had a bad dream, is all," she said as she laid back down. Hiei looked down at her, still worried. He stayed up until she went back to sleep, then he laid back down to drift in and out of sleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hello Mukuro," Angela said as the orange haired woman came to stand next to her as she leaned on a concrete railing that divided the large walkway from the seats in the stadium.
Mukuro nodded. "Hello, Angela. It's good to see you again."
Angela nodded. "You too. Hiei is about to fight. So I decided to take a VIP stand point." She looked around her, at other spectators that prefered to stand or didn't have the money to get seats and at the hallways that led to the fighters' rooms and other areas. "Though this isn't exactly the VIP box at a football game. I think I'll just have to do with what I've got."
Mukuro smiled. "Besides, it's much better than being down there with all those rowdy demons," Mukuro said.
Angela nodded her agreement. "Oh, you just missed Yomi. He walked in there," she pointed to a hall behind her, "Right as you walked up."
"I saw him."
Angela looked questioningly at her. "He didn't leave because he saw you did he?"
Mukuro shook her head. "No, I'm sure he didn't notice me."
Angela turned back to the screen. "Hiei's fighting," she said as she gripped the wall.
Hiei had been matched with a large green demon with several horns and a load of teeth carrying a larg hammer that reminded her of a giant version of Dan's hammer in Medievil, a Playstation game that she used to play. Mukuro studied her. She was dressed in a leather skirt, a black tight sleeved shirt, a long black leather sleeveless coat, and knee high leather boots. She obviously dressed to be intimidating, not to be showy. It was working. Mukuro could hear the thoughts of the men, and sometimes women, that checked her out. They thought she was hot but they wouldn't dare mess with this chick. Mukuro smiled. But Mukuro also noticed something else about the girl. She looked really pale and under the makeup she could tell that there were dark circles under the girl's eyes.
"Are you okay?" Mukuro asked.
Angela turned to her. She fought a wave of nausea that the quick action had caused. She managed to smile. "I'm fine."
Mukuro noticed Angela holding her stomach. A thought came to her. -Are you pregnant? You're hiding it very well,- Mukuro told her, mind to mind.
Angela nodded slightly. -Hiei didn't want many people knowing outside of the Spirit Detectives and their families. He trusts you, he just prefers that not many people in Demon world know that.-
Mukuro nodded. -That's understandable. But soon you won't be able to hide it.-
-I know. I suspect before that time, he'll hide me in Human world. I would be safe in the shrine. At least we hope so.-
Mukuro thought about the last part the woman had said. -'At least we hope so'? What does that mean?-
"Oh!" Angela exclaimed, turning back to the screen again. Hiei had been thrown across the lake that they had been fighting by. She sighed when Hiei got back up, unhurt though shirtless. Angela smiled, she didn't mind the shirtless part.
As Angela watched the fight, a thought came to her. She turned to Mukuro. "Mukuro, what is the tournament for king really? And where did it come from? I've been meaning to ask I just forget to. I've heard bits and peices of memorable battles in the last tournaments, but not the why and when it was created. From what I've heard, it hasn't been around that long."
Mukuro looked at the screen. "When Yusuke was fourteen he was killed by a car crash, though I'm sure you've already heard this and how he was made Spirit Detective and brought back to life. I'm also sure that you've heard the fight between Yusuke and Sensui."
Angela nodded her head, a sad look in her eyes. Sensui and Itsuki, a demon that loved him, had at one time tried to destroy the world by opening a gate to Demon world. Yusuke had defeated Sensui, but before Sensui died and could be taken to Spirit world for punishment and judgement on his soul, Itsuki had disappeared into another space. Sensui had died, but half a year ago Koenma found them and brought Sensui back to life. He had promised to erase their record if they would help in the fight against the Darkness that was threatening all of the worlds. Sensui had helped, but he and the rest of the fighters still couldn't defeat the Darkness. Only Angela could defeat it by assuming her Angel form and trapping the Darkness in another dimension. She was about to seal her soul and life with the Darkness to make sure it could never escape. However, Sensui and Itsuki had volunteered, Sensui saying that there was no better way for him to atone for his past sins than to give his life willingly for the worlds. Despite having been told by several, she had taken their deaths onto her shoulders. At the time of their sacrifice she had heard little about them, but after that terrible day, she had heard the whole story about them.
Mukuro saw the sadness, but continued, "In the fight Yusuke died again. However, no one had known that he had demon blood in his veins, and was in fact the Atavism of the Mazoku. He was then revived by his demon blood and then fought with Sensui. What most people don't know is that Yusuke wasn't the one to fire the finishing Spirit bullet. It was his demon ancestral father who was still alive in demon world. When Yusuke came to Demon world, Raizen, his ancestral father, immediately sensed him. Shortly after the battle with Sensui, Raizen sent for Yusuke, inviting him to Demon world. As it turned out, Raizen was dying by willingly starving himself. Raizen and his kind eat humans but Raizen had stopped.You see, Raizen had met a human woman and fell in love with her. She was Yusuke's ancestral mother. After Raizen had met her he had sworn to never eat another human. When he summoned Yusuke, he was near death and needed an heir."
Angela gave her a questioning look. "What do you mean heir?"
Mukuro just laughed, "For the longest time there had been three 'Kings' of Demon world. Raizen, myself and Yomi. Each of us were in a constant battle for dominance of all of Demon world. Actually, we were at a stale mate for at the time, we all had about the same power and could hardly budge the other. Yomi and I were eagerly waiting for the death of Raizen, we both believed we would have the advantage to attack the other and win. Knowing that we would be able to overrun his lands after he died, he summoned Yusuke, hoping to train him to ba as powerful or more powerful than himself so he could rule his forces and possibly even defeat one of the other 'Kings'. I was considered a King since I had hidden my self and identity under bandages, no one had known my gender. Myself and Yomi also called forth someone who had the potential to be a great asset to our armies and would help us win. I called Hiei and Yomi called Kurama. I trained Hiei by siccing hordes of demons on him. Finally I pitted him against one of my best men, Shigure. Hiei won the fight, and as a reward, he got to take Shigure's place in my army and see under my bandages. Yomi forced Kurama to join him by threatening his human family. Kurama then found and trained the DT gang for Yomi's army."
Angela sighed, "Is there a point with this story?"
Mukuro smiled, "Yes, there is. When Raizen died Yusuke was about eighteen. Yusuke then decided to meet with Yomi, I don't know what his excuse for meeting Yomi was, but his true reason was to stop the oncoming war. He proposed to Yomi a tournament between all demons to prove who's the strongest and decide who was King of all of Demon world. I and Hiei had spied on them to make sure they were not making an alliance. This proposition amused me and I telepathically told them I agreed. That put pressure on Yomi, since it practically said I had aligned with Yusuke. Kurama and the DT gang added pressure. Yomi had ordered them to hide in a connecting room and ordered them to attack Yusuke should he decide to do something funny. Knowing Yomi would hear them should they talk, Kurama used writing to converse with the DT gang. What they 'talked' about was whether they were on Yusuke's side or Yomi's. They sided with Yusuke. When they thought Yomi would refuse they burst out of the room and in no short words threatened Yomi. So he agreed. In the first tournament I, Yomi, Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei all lost. A gentle man named Enki had won. The agreement of the tournament was that all of demon world had to obey all the laws set out by the winner. Enki made only three laws. One of them was that mischief was to no longer be made against the humans and Human world, another law was that every three years the tournament would be held again. I should note that another outcome of the tournament was that all the losers of the tournament formed the Border Patrol, which did as it said, we patrol the border between Human and Demon world, making sure to rescue humans that happened to accidentally roam into Demon world through some stray portal. We were also a sort of police force, enforcing Enki's and the proceeding Kings' laws."
Angela thought for a second, "So how many tournaments have there been? I thought a new tournament was to be held three years after Enki, but wasn't he the King that just died?"
Mukuro smiled, "There was never any rule for a previous king to win again. And there have been four tournaments. Enki won the first and then he won the last tournament. The next tournament for King was to have been in a year, but with his death we decided to speed up the tournament."
"Ah, but who were the other two kings?"
Mukuro smiled some more as she turned to leave. "Oh, they were not important. All they did was reinforce Enki's laws."
