Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or any other anime. I only own a few anime DVDs, my growing manga collection, my clothes, my things for writing, this plot line and the OCs. And we can't forget Leli, she's a Makai White Tiger.

Blaze: I want to thank reviewers that I see more than twice… Here they are!

Kurama: She only mentions names because she hopes that you all know she is thankful and will update as soon as she gets the chapter done and uploaded. And to all… As Leli grew older, she was able to talk with anyone close to her through telepathy. So that would be Blaze and Hiei.

Blaze: Thank you Kurama!

Hiei: And you couldn't have me say it?

Blaze: No… Because I know you'd just go and say 'Hn… no way in hell am I doing that baka thing onna…' I'm not stupid Hiei.

Hiei: raises an eyebrow

Blaze: glares I should hurt you…

Kurama: sweat drop Blaze… please… you can hurt Hiei after you write the next chapter.

Blaze: Oh… you're right! glares at Hiei You're lucky kajihenge…

Hiei: snorts Sure…

Chapter Nine

"I'm sooo sorry Hiei!" She put her dagger down and rushed over to him. She took his hand and looked it over. She looks at him and smiles nervously. "Gomen nasai…"

Hiei shakes his head. "The wound isn't that serious…" The wound hadn't broken the skin but if she bit down any harder it would've.

Blaze smiled. "So what is it you came in here for? It's really late."

The alarm clock on her nightstand read 1:35 a.m.

Hiei held her close. "Now I can't some just to see you?"

Blaze blushed and smiled. "Well I guess it doesn't hurt."

He kissed her and gave her a small smile. "So what are you doing?" He released her and she sat in the chair.

He looked at the sketches and nodded. "That looks nice."

Blaze smiled. "I can't wait to make it though! It's one thing to design it but a whole different thing making it. I love making clothes. In the States I made costumes for friends as long as they got the material. It was always for cosplay though, but I didn't mind."

Hiei turned the chair so that she was facing him. She looked at him curiously. He took her hands and pulled her up. "Let's go to bed. You can finish that tomorrow…"

Blaze almost protested when Leli pushed her legs. Blaze sighed and turned off the lamp on the desk.

Hiei took his shirt off and went over to the bed. Blaze sighed and went to the bed. She got under the covers next to Hiei and closes her eyes.

Hiei puts his arm around her and she cuddles closer to him. She fell asleep soon after. Hiei stroked her hair. "Sleep well Blaze…"

As Blaze woke in the morning she found Hiei's arm draped on her waist. She looked at the alarm clock. The ominous red glow numbers read 5:03. She slowly got out of Hiei's grip and went into the bathroom.

When she got to the bathroom door she heard Leli's voice in her head. Where are you going?

To take a shower! Goodness Leli… I think you've been spending way too much time with itoko-san and Hiei. She smiled at her tiger and went into the bathroom. She closed the door and stripped down. She stared at the scars and the soon to be scars all over her body. She glared fiercely. "Those bastards will pay for the pain they caused my brother and I…" She turned the water on and waited for it to get piping hot.

She stepped in and sighed. "Being part kajihenge is the best…"

After scrubbing herself clean and washing her hair, ears, tail, and body she stepped out and pulled the black towel around her. Her body was a bright red from the heat of the water and the scrubbing she did. She opened the door and walked out, not paying attention to who was in the room.

She grabbed a pair of her hip hugger flare pants and a fitting long sleeved black shirt as well as her undergarments from the dresser. She went back out and went to take her towel off when she saw Hiei. She froze for a moment and held the towel tighter around her.

Hiei sat on the bed with a smirk. "Why'd you stop?"

Blaze glared while blushing. "Get out of my room Hiei."

He shook his head.

Blaze looked at Leli who seemed to be laughing. Leli stopped laughing and stood up. She growled at Hiei.

Hiei glared slightly. "That's wrong… sending the tiger I gave you after me."

Blaze smirked and pointed to the door. "Out!"

Hiei smirked and stood up. He walked towards her and pulled her towards him by her waist. She blushed some. He kissed her passionately. He pulled his lips away and looked into her eyes.

Blaze blushed brightly at the look in his eyes.

Hiei released her and kissed her cheek. He then walked past her and opened the door. When the door closed Blaze sank to the floor with her hands clutching the two ends in front of her.

Leli sat in front of her. Are you ok Blaze?

Blaze nodded to her friend. "I'm… I'm fine…"

There was a knock on the door. "Blaze, could I come in?" It was Kusanagi.

Blaze jumped up, "No, not now!"

Blaze quickly got dressed and brushed her hair. She sighed and sat on the bed.

"Now can I?"

Blaze jumped up and went to the door. "I'm so sorry nii-san!"

He smiled at her and stepped into the room. The two looked more a like than before now that her hair was blue and the roots maroon like his. He ruffled her wet hair and she hissed.

He chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders. "Let's go see mom and dad. I haven't seen them yet because you never told me where they were!" He whined.

Blaze rolled her eyes and shrugged him off. "Fine, whatever…" She went to her designs and rolled them up.

"What are those?" He asked appearing right next to her.

The neko glared at her brother. "The plans for my wedding dress, now let's get going." They walked out of her room with Leli right behind them. They walked down the stairs to where everyone was.

They looked up and smiled at he twins.

"Where're you two going this early into the day?" Kurama asked with a smile.

"Out. But what I want to know is why those two baka's are up so early!" Blaze pointed to Yusuke and Kuwabara with her rolled up papers.

Yukina smiled brightly. "We're going Christmas shopping."

Keiko went to ask them if they wanted to come but Kusanagi spoke up. "We'll see you guys at the mall. Blaze and I have to go do something real quick."

Hiei glared. "And what is this something you two have to do?"

Blaze walked to the door with Leli next to her. Kusanagi followed her. "We have to take care of my wedding dress… And we're going to see a certain kajihenge for it."

Kurama froze. "Blaze… Kusanagi… are you going to see your parents?"

Blaze pulled her brother's arm and ran out of the door. Leli ran after them.

Blaze appeared in front of Koenma's doors in a matter of seconds. She burst into the doors still dragging her twin and Leli right behind them. "Koenma, get me a portal to the Makai."

The toddler looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "Why?"

Blaze glared. "Just get me the damn portal!"

The toddler summoned a portal and the three jumped in. The portal winked out and not soon after Kurama burst into the office.

"Give me a portal to the Makai!"

Koenma sighed and summoned another. "Why couldn't you all just take one all together?" Kurama jumped through and the portal winked out.

In Makai

Blaze stopped in front of a castle. Kusanagi pulled his arm from his sister with a glare. "What's your problem!"

Blaze ignored him and went to the door. She stopped five feet from it and picked up a pebble. She tossed it forward. It hit a barrier and fell to the ground steaming. Blaze smirked. "We'll have to use our fire…" She summoned a fire ball and threw it at the barrier.

The barrier flicked for a moment but then went to normal. "Both of us have to use our powers Kusanagi."

He nodded and they both threw a fire ball at the barrier. An opening appeared and the three walked in. The opening quickly closed and they walked into the castle.

Kurama stopped in the forest. "What the… Their spirit energy just… disappeared."

"It's called a barrier… Her parents have it surrounding their place." Hiei jumped out of the tree. Kurama sighed.

"I should've expected that."

Hiei leaned against the tree. "We'll wait here until they come back out of the barrier."

…..

Blaze sat on the ball room floor with her twin leaning against the wall.

"When are they going to get here?" Blaze closed her eyes and lowered her head.

Kusanagi chuckled. "Be patient Blaze…"

"Yeah… you're one to talk Kusanagi…" Blaze looked up and opened her eyes just as their parents walked in.

All four smiled at each other. Mitsuki went over to her daughter. "So tell me… When's the wedding?"

Blaze stood and smiled brightly. "I think we'll have it in 5 or 6 months, maybe sooner."

Mitsuki nodded. "So what are those?" She pointed to the rolled up papers in Blaze's hand.

Blaze smiled and unrolled them. She showed them to her mother. "My wedding dress."

Mitsuki's face glowed and she looked at her daughter. "I have this very dress! Come, come follow me." She pulled her daughter's arm and walked quickly out of the ball room.

Cain and Kusanagi were simply talking, catching up.

With Blaze and Mitsuki

Mitsuki walked into a large room that held dozens of dresses and other assortments of outfits. She smiled to her daughter. "I can tell you right now… That design is a real dress. It was an heirloom in my family. My great grandmother made it and passed it down to her daughter who in turn passed it on to her daughter and then it got passed down to me. I now pass the heirloom to you. But I want you to find it. You will find many duplicates but I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one."

She stepped off to the side and let Blaze start to search through the clothes.

Ten minutes later…

"AAAHH!"

"Hunny are you ok?" Mitsuki pushed off of the wall she was leaning on.

There was a moments silence and then the neko answered.

"I'm fine… It's just this damn pile of clothes tried to eat me… I think literally."

Mitsuki chuckled. "I forgot to warm you about those. I wouldn't search through that pile. Your father picked up a phantom demon and it took a liking to that pile of clothes. It'll seriously eat you!"

Blaze growled and hissed at the pile of clothes. In response the clothes snapped at her and went to eat her again. Blaze yelped and jumped into another pile of clothes.

Mitsuki laughed. "You ok over there Hun? You sound like you want some help."

Blaze emerged from the pile of clothes and started searching again. "Hn… no… I'm fine… Baka phantom…"

Blaze had found 10 replicas but didn't really pay any mind to them. She stopped in front of what looked to be a replica. It was on a manikin that had no arms or legs just like the others. On the manikin head was a head piece. It was a simple tiara with a fire jewel in the center. It had ice crystals going on each side and would go across her forehead if she put it on.

A/N: You could basically think of Sailor Moon and the tiaras. If you don't know what the tiara looks like… Do a Google search for Sailor Moon.

Blaze's breath got caught in her throat. She reached out to the dress and touched it.

Mitsuki smiled from her spot near the door. She had her eyes close and was leaning against the wall. "And so life goes on…"

Blaze took the priestess looking dress off of the manikin and took the tiara. She walked back to where her mother was and smiled brightly. "I found it!"

Mitsuki opened her eyes and smiled at her daughter. "I know… Now let's go and get you back to your place. Oh… and here are the shoes." She handed her daughter a pair of soft red shoes to match with the white, gold and red dress.

The neko took the shoes and smiled at her mother. "Thank you kassan."

Mitsuki shook her head. "It's an heirloom, it's rightfully yours."

They went back to the ball room to find it empty.

Mitsuki sighed. "Well how about you get going? I believe your fiancé and cousin are waiting outside."

Blaze looked at her in slight shock. "R-really?"

Mitsuki smiled and nodded. "I think you're brother's going to stay here a little longer. You know where to find me if you need anything sweetie."

Blaze nodded and they hugged.

Outside

The barrier opened slightly. Hiei and Kurama looked at it quickly and saw Blaze running over with something in her arms. The barrier closed up again and resumed its appearance of not being visible.

They walked towards her and she stopped.

Blaze smiled brightly. "I got the dress! I didn't even have to make it! My kassan already had it!"

Kurama sighed. "Blaze… You're mother and father are major criminals. They're a bad influence on both you and Kusanagi."

Blaze glared at him. "Kurama… I told you, they're changing. They want to make up for what they did wrong! They wanted to keep Kusanagi and myself… Why can't you trust them?" She looked up at him with sad eyes.

Kurama tried to keep from caving in, but to no avail. He sighed. Blaze smiled. "Can you hold these for me? I had a tiring time trying to find them and almost died so yeah!" Kurama sighed and took the stuff.

Hiei smirked. "Hn… baka… you fell for that pitiful face…"

Blaze got in his face with pleading eyes. "Hiei-kun… could you carry me?"

Hiei looked at her slightly shocked and his eye twitched. He was tense. Blaze stuck her bottom lip out in a pout. "Pwease?"

Hiei finally gave up with a sigh. "Fine…"

Blaze jumped up with a smile. "Yay!"

Blaze got on his back and he made sure she wouldn't fall by putting his hands under her.

Kurama gave that a fox smile which made Hiei glare. It didn't affect the kitsune. "Looks like I'm not the only one who fell for the pitiful face."

Hiei "hned" and raced off towards where a portal was. Kurama was close behind.

Two Months Later

Blaze fell onto her bed with a sigh. "Man… I've barely had any time to plan the wedding Leli… Koenma has us on missions left and right… I barely have enough time to take a shower in the mornings if we're not pulling an all nighter on a mission!"

Leli curled up in the blanket near the fountain and looked at her owner. Well you're the one who's a member. It's hard planning a wedding and working at the same time.

"I know that Leli… What have I gotten myself into?" She curled up into a ball.

You got yourself into a good life. You love Hiei don't you?

Blaze nodded. "I do love Hiei; this is what I want… But if you think about it, being a Reikai Tentai is my job. When I bear Hiei's child… what am I going to do then?"

Do what the Japanese did in the past. Bind yourself so no one knows. No one will ever suspect you're pregnant. You could wear those short fighting kimonos when you go on missions that way the obi will help. You'll have a bind already on so it's not much different but still…

Blaze sighed. She rolled onto her back and looked at the dark ceiling. "I guess you're right… I could always do that…"

There was a knock on the door. Blaze sat up and crossed her legs while looking at the door. "Come in."

The door opened and Yukina walked in. She smiled at her soon-to-be-sister-in-law. "Good evening Blaze. The girls and I have arranged the decorations. We wrote it all down in here and finished it a little while ago. We know how busy you are now and decided to take most of the planning off of your shoulders. You can look through that and fix whatever you want."

Blaze took the journal with a smile. "Thank you so much Yuki-san… You don't know how much this means to me…" She hugged Yukina tightly.

The Koorime returned the embrace. They parted and Yukina smiled. "Well I have to get back. Just give Botan the journal back when you're done with it."

Blaze nodded and looked down at the journal once Yukina left.

An hour later…

Blaze closed the journal and smiled. "They're the best friends anyone could have!" She stood up from her desk chair and turned around only to bump into someone.

She relaxed her tensed muscles when she saw it was only Hiei. She smiled sweetly. "Good evening Hiei."

She went over to her bed and fell down into her spot. Hiei had been sharing the same room with her since they got engaged.

Hiei put his arm around her. She snuggled up against him as if searching for warmth. Hiei smirked and kissed her forehead.

Blaze seemed to purr. They fell asleep like that with Hiei saying one last thing.

"I love you Blaze…"

Leli looked at them with what seemed to be a smile. She stood up from her own bed and started towards the door. It opened to reveal Kurama there. They looked at each other and seemed to smile. Leli walked out and Kurama closed the door with a smile towards the two kajihenge's.

Leli stretched and looked up at Kurama. Could you make something for me Kurama? I'm hungry…

Kurama nodded with a smile and they went to the kitchen.

Blaze: Thank you all for reading. I'm not going to end it soon. I have more planned. I am terribly sorry for how long it took to get this one out. I thank all of you for having patience with me. I had tons of school stuff to do and it'll only get worse towards Finals and the next year. I'm going to be getting a summer job so things will get even tighter. But I will get the others out! I swear this! Or Kurama may kill me!

Kurama: What? Why would I kill you?

Blaze: Because Hiei won't…

Hiei: Hn…

Kurama: chuckles What makes you think I'll kill you?

Blaze: …………… I don't know………

Kurama: chuckles Well… Thank you everyone and review.
