Peace; What's That?

Notes from the writer.

Disclaimer: This holds, till the end of May, spoilers to Charmed. In fact, both titles used will hold spoilers, if you haven't watched till the end of either. I own no one, save for the antagonist of the fan fiction. Naturally, I don't own Charmed or Yu Yu Hakusho. I do, however, own the idea that was put into the prologue, which linked the two worlds together. Yes, people, the prologue is also an extremely extended version of a summary. Also, seeing as I'm no science major, or expert, I may have played around with Evolution's workings a bit.

Back-story: It's been months since the large battle, which had restored Leo from his frozen state, and Phoebe went into her third marriage with the Cupid, Coop. Magic School, which will forever linger with the darkness that resided in its halls, finally is into a new term. Things seem to be picking up, and managing as well as ever before. It's a trio of sisters that have adapted to many obstacles, to continue on struggling for a balance between their lives and witch-y duties. Over in Japan, a several years have passed since the first Makai Tournament, with the luck of an undefeated champion. While knowing that there'd be a time when called upon once again, the group of Spirit Detectives, or Reikai Tantei, have been given a chance to grow up in an ideal manner.

Authoress Note: Hopefully, this won't be a very long story. Approximately 4 pages, size 10 font, per chapter after this one. The prologue, which you have seen already, was an introduction to link two completely different universes together. It came to me while thinking about how similar, yet different, the demons in Charmed and Yu Yu Hakusho really were. Elders; Whitelighters; Witches; Psychics; Reikai Tantei; Enma; Magic; Spiritual Power; I've mentally listed the similarities and differences between it all, and how they could balance each other out properly. Charmed mentioned the bosses having bosses, themselves, much like how Koenma rules, but also follows his father's orders most of the time. Protecting the world from an imminent danger, and sending someone to guide, or help, the 'heroes' of the mission.

So a mental story on how there had to be some kind of war, which split demons apart, just enough to develop their own traits and purposes. Evolution playing a role, and signifying how much closer they all were to each other, including towards humans. It's meant to explain how there are the possibilities of half-demons, half-Whitelighters, half-witches. Much like how there are crossbreeds of dogs, plants, and other living beings in the world. Chances are lower on conception, but still existent, and are only low probability for the fact that few saw the possibility of two completely different beings falling for each other. So we have the Makai, two classifications of demons, and several kinds of humans to explain the many different things in the worlds.

At the same time, I didn't want to bore everyone with the world's history. How the Elders 'created' Gods to save humanity from the Titans, for example. Those whom remember the Yu Yu Hakusho movies would recall the mention of a realm for demons, when they go into the afterlife. In my own theory, it was something much like the Makai, but a failed experiment. Judgment continues for humans and demons at the same 'realm,' while at different planes. Which only emphasizes how the balance of nature goes further than a few realms, but various planes and hierarchies, and more red tape than a deity could ever handle.

This chapter isn't meant to be plot-advancing, more than filling you, the readers, on what is going on. Also, before I get asked, I wasn't high while plotting this out. With the Disclaimer, Back-story, and this note, there is the warning that this is for all chapters in the story.

Before continuing on, I'd also like to remind you all:

Give writers reviews; It's their Muse's food, which increases morale and quality. Flames are not helpful in any way, while constructive criticism is. There is a difference, after all. Letting a writer know that someone actually cares enough to comment on the fact that they read, and hopefully enjoyed, the currently finished work, creates a warmth to fuel the following chapters.

Look for changes in the Trivia section, below this. Sometimes it shows spoilers, or will enlighten you to what has occurred in the completed chapters.

Trivia:

The Title: It's a play off of, based on both shows, the protagonists never know peace in the home for long. After all, they have to constantly save the world, and this time that's passed is more than they've had before.

Prologue:

Makai - It's been mentioned, towards the end of the Chapter Black Saga, that Makai's air holds a stench strong enough to melt the noses off of humans. This was an exaggeration, of course, but indicates how foul the air must be compared to the human world, but obviously suitable enough to handle demons long enough to survive Evolution and Adaptation.

Ancient Egypt's cameo - When having went up against the Avatars, the Charmed Ones learned more about the potion to defeat them when Zankou takes them to a tomb which held a wall indicating such a mixture. The first time of learning was by Agent Brody, who held a vial and a vice called Revenge.

Chapter 1:

2nd paragraph - You'll come across little features from past episodes from Charmed, which were from the few visions Phoebe received that had to deal with what was considered the future. More specifically, from the episode where Phoebe meets this young woman, who I believe was a shaman. It ended up changing a little, but the beginning is mostly accurate.

Ava - In season 5, episode 6, there's the episode called "The Eyes Have It." In there, we come across the gypsies who hold the Evil Eye; Meant to protect them against evil. In the end, one of the gypsies whom had stopped believing and became a doctor, Dr. Ava Nicolae, started up a free clinic. It mixed gypsy and Western medicine, and treated most of her kind. This is when we first have her looking over the unborn Charmed children, as Piper had been wanting a doctor for her nausea. This way, it doesn't matter if something magical happened in the exam.

Eye Doctor – Phoebe has needed glasses for reading small print. It was shown in early episodes, at a time when she didn't want to use glasses at all. In the end, she got used to it. Later episodes have her without them, so I'm guessing she typically wears contact lens interchangeably with glasses. Oh, and about once a year, you need a prescription, and at least every other if you have glasses. The strengths can change within that time, as I seem to remember myself.

"Your third eye isn't properly synchronized..." - This happened with Piper, when she was pregnant. Baby Wyatt would mess with her powers, so that instead of blowing things up, flowers would come out. Either that, or innocent fireworks. Magical unborn children can do that. Not to mention hormones also make pregnant woman's emotions out of control... So either way, her powers wouldn't be working properly. Go figure.

In comparison to her own age, those around seemed to be nothing more than kids; Not much older than Billy, if not matching. - Several years from the Makai tournament could mean about four, which puts Yusuke in his early twenties. I think, though can't remember, Billy had been seen drinking alcohol. So she may be about 21 now, in the story, as her sister had been kidnapped at the age of six, and was found fifteen years later. This is all based on an educated guess, though.

Power Sucking Athame/Witch Wars - In the season where Gideon uses a couple of demons to his advantage, drawing suspicion that they're the ones after Wyatt. Witch Wars was an Underworld reality TV show, where demons, warlocks, and dark lighters were all given a power sucking athame, and a task. In this, they eventually were found out, and one of the Athames came into the Charmed One's possession. For Wyatt, Phoebe took on the powers, canceled the show, and returned for a need of more powers. To extract the evil abilities, Paige stabbed Phoebe in the gut.
