Chapter 12: The Beginnings of a New Band
One week and two days later, Koenma, Jasmine and Jasmine's family were back in Mushiori City from Valdez. Despite the few major setbacks, Koenma still admitted that he had a good time. He enjoyed meeting his lover's extended family and loved to hang around with them. Not only that, the prince was very grateful for Jasmine and the entire McAlpin family that were still living in the small Alaskan harbor town for saving his life.
Before he and Jasmine left, his human lover showed him more sights of her hometown such as the boat harbor, the boat graveyard, the local rocky beach, the "Bridge to Nowhere", Mineral Creek, and the Alyeska Pipeline Terminal that was across the bay from the main town of Valdez. They also celebrated New Years with Jasmine's family before leaving and left early in the morning a few days later.
Now that they were back home, Jasmine, Kotennyo, and Koashura started their spring semester at Mushiori University and Koenma still stayed at Genkai's compound. The six fighters from the Dark Tournament were nearing the end of their training session and they were due to go back with Kurama to Demon World within another week or so.
It was now the weekend and the college trio were off from school that day. Koenma and Jasmine were double dating with Koashura and Kotennyo eating at a twenty four hour diner. The prince and the demon hunter were showing the godly couple their newly developed photographs from their trip.
Kotennyo picked up one of the photos and started laughing at how her ex was smiling like a complete in utter dork in it, "Oh my god, you guys are such dorks."
Jasmine chuckled, "That one was taken on the way back to Anchorage. Koenma wanted to get out and take a picture of that moose and I still can't believe it didn't charge at him."
Koashura took a sip from his soda, "Maybe it sensed the being in front of it wasn't human."
Jasmine eyed her redheaded friend with a confused expression, "Is there something that animals like about gods?"
Koashura shrugged his broad shoulders, "I don't know. I haven't been around too many animals to know."
He then looked at some more of the pictures and then sighed, "Man, I wish Kotennyo and I would have went with you guys. Alaska looks like such a beautiful place. Ah…hey, that pizza looks delicious."
Koenma chuckled at his friend's reaction, "That was taken at Valdez's best pizza joint called Mike's Palace and their pizza is the best."
Koashura looked up from the pizza photo, "Oh man, you guys should have brought some back for us."
Jasmine finished off her French fries and replied, "Koenma and I were thinking about going back there this summer and since all three of us are going to be off from school, why don't you guys go with us? My grandparents would be really cool with us staying with them if we so choose to."
Koashura and Kotennyo sat there stunned and they both looked at each other and back at Koenma and Jasmine and smiled. Kotennyo sipped from her orange soda and replied, "Yeah we would love to. Koashura and I were discussing about going there a week before you guys came back."
Koenma took a bite from his turkey sandwich and washed it down with his Mountain Dew, "Great. Oh, Jorge wants to go too and he said he wants to bring his lady friend Christine along so, it's going to be six of us except, they plan on getting there using a gateway from Spirit World. So, I guess it would just be us four on the plane."
They continued to flip through the photos and Kotennyo then started laughing at one of the glacier photos, "Good god Koenma, what the hell is with you?"
The prince rolled his brown eyes at his ex, "Oh shut up. I wasn't the only one; you should see some of the others with Jasmine."
Kotennyo then shifted her attention back to the photos and came up on one where Jasmine was standing in front of the Trans Alaska Pipeline sticking out her tongue and being a total dork. The young goddess burst out laughing, "I can't decide who's the bigger dork, you or him; Koenma, Jasmine you guys are just so perfect for each other."
Koenma and Jasmine looked at each other and started giggling. The young prince took his human lover's hand and brought it up to his lips and kissed it making Jasmine giggle like a schoolgirl. They gazed into each other's eyes and the young psychic said in a very dreamy like state, "I know we are."
She and Koenma then leaned over and gave each other an Eskimo kiss gently touching each other's noses to each other and kissed each other's lips deeply. They both moaned into the kiss and Koashura and Kotennyo just stared at the two of them blankly until the goddess cleared her throat.
"Hey, hey guys. Hey porn stars!"
Hearing Kotennyo say that, Koenma and Jasmine both parted with both of their faces a deep red and began to giggle like total dorks in embarrassment. Jasmine then put her hand on Koenma's leg and gently squeezed his knee making him squeak with surprise and feeling his cock getting hard figuring out what his lover was implying.
They hadn't had sex since they left Alaska and they both wanted to tonight when they, Koashura and Kotennyo go back to the college trio's apartment. Seeing their friend's handsy behavior, Koashura and Kotennyo instantly caught on.
The two gods looked at each other and Kotennyo whispered into her handsome redheaded lover's ear, "Looks like someone finally lost his virginity while on vacation."
Koashura nearly choked on his curly fries and then sipped from his Coke. He then whispered back into the goddess's ear and said jokingly, "I think you may be right. Should we throw him a party for finally becoming a man?"
Kotennyo started cracking up at her boyfriend's words and Koenma and Jasmine gave them weird looks. Jasmine then asked them, "What's so funny?"
The godly couple stopped laughing and finally regaining their composure, Koashura then asked them, "So, did anything interesting happen, well, besides the kidnapping and the demon attack? Say, like taking the next step in your relationship at all?"
Koenma and Jasmine both sat there with their mouths hanging open and realized that their two friends had just figured it out. They sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until they both looked at each other, took a deep breath and decided to come out and be good friends and be honest with them.
Koenma and Jasmine shifted their attention back to Koashura and Kotennyo. Jasmine was the first one to speak, "Yeah, as a matter of fact. We did."
Both Koashura and Kotennyo both gave them bright smiles and the goddess asked her human friend, "Well, what happened?"
Jasmine took Koenma's hand when she saw how nervous her royal lover was getting, "Well, it was the first night when we stayed in Anchorage. Koenma and I went to the mall because, he needed a winter hat and I bought him one, then we went to a women's clothing store I got to try on all these sexy dresses and I bought that sexy red dress I showed you the other day Kotennyo. Then we went ice skating at the ice rink that was in the middle of that said mall."
Koashura finished off his curly fries and washed them down with his Coke, "Then what happened?"
Still blushing, the prince cleared his throat, "Well, Jasmine had a hard time standing up in her ice skates and well, I began to teach her how to ice skate and well…um….I confessed or more like blurted out that I loved her. She then responded that she loved me too."
Koenma then formed this dreamy look on his handsome face, "It was so wonderful to hear her say those words. It's such a wonderful feeling knowing that the person you cherish as not only a friend but as a lover reciprocate those feelings."
Koashura and Kotennyo gave them such happy smiles and Kotennyo then interjected, "I am so happy for both of you guys, especially you Koenma. Since you and I broke up over 500 years ago, I really hoped you would find someone who would truly love you being that I didn't and how I couldn't meet and fulfill your emotional needs. I am so happy that person is Jasmine and I can't think of anyone else better for you."
Koashura nodded in agreement, "Yeah totally, I was rooting for you guys to finally admit your feelings for each other. I could tell that you guys have been yearning to finally get it out. Hell, my parents are love gods and I can sense these things."
Jasmine eyed Koashura curiously, "You're a love god?"
The redhead nodded, "Yep but, contrary to popular belief, gods and goddesses like me can't make people fall in love. We just sense when two individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender share a mutual attraction for each other and we just encourage the said couple to follow their said romantic path if they so choose. Love is something that cannot be forced."
Jasmine looked at Kotennyo, "Koenma's a death god, Koashura's a love god, so what kind of god are you?"
Kotennyo took another sip from her orange soda, "I'm a war goddess. That's one of the reasons why I have such a knack for fighting. Gods and goddesses like me don't start wars but, we make excellent soldiers. Some members of the Spirit World Special Defense Force are war gods. They tried to recruit me to be a part of it after I graduated from Spirit World Kindergarten but, I instantly refused them so I can pursue my art."
Wanting to change the subject back to their previous conversation, Kotennyo then asked Jasmine, "So, what happened after the mall ice rink?"
Jasmine let go of Koenma's hand and she began to play with the straw in her ice water, "Well, Koenma and I skated around the ice rink for another thirty minutes until we went back to the hotel and changed for dinner. We then had a nice romantic dinner at the hotel's restaurant. We ate salmon and had chocolate mousse for dessert."
Koashura took a bite from his burger and washed it down with his soda, "So what happened after that?"
Koenma and Jasmine looked at each other and blushed. Koenma couldn't find his voice because he was too embarrassed to share what happened that night. Jasmine kissed the prince's cheek, "Do you want me to tell them?"
With his cheeks still red, Koenma nodded. Jasmine shifted her attention back to their two friends and she replied, "Well, Koenma and I went back upstairs to our room. We almost didn't make it with how horny we both were."
Koashura and Kotennyo both looked at each other with wide eyes and shifted their attention back to Koenma and Jasmine. They just sat there and continued to listen to Jasmine tell the story.
"When got back into the room, we continued to kiss each other and…"
She then told them about how nervous Koenma was being that it was his first time and how she guided him through it and how they cuddled afterwards. The godly couple just sat there and stared at them and they both smiled. Koashura was the first to speak, "Way to go guys."
Kotennyo sipped from her orange soda, "About fucking time. I was getting so sick of the sexual tension between the two of you."
Koenma just rolled his eyes at his ex and decided not to say anything. The four friends then finished off their meals and they each chipped in and paid for their own. After leaving the diner, the two couples walked back to the college trio's apartment. Jasmine pushed the button to the buzzer three times and the super let the four of them in.
After they got up to the second floor and inside the residence, Koashura then shut the door behind him and asked his royal friend as he locked it, "So, do you two need some alone time tonight?"
Koenma stared at his redheaded childhood friend blankly, "Why do you ask?"
Koashura shrugged his broad shoulders, "I just wanted to let you know that if you and Jasmine want to make love to each other tonight, we have plenty of condoms in the bathroom."
The prince then blushed as red as his friend's long hair, "Uh…um…thanks?"
Koashura put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "No problem man. If you want any pointers or advice or anything on how to spice things up, don't be afraid to ask."
Koenma blushed even redder. He couldn't believe he was having this conversation with Koashura and it was becoming very clear to him that Koashura and Kotennyo were not afraid to discuss things like sex and how spice things up in the bedroom. The prince just stood there speechless and then suddenly he felt something rub up against his leg.
Koenma looked down to see his human lover's orange and green eyed kitten with the deformed front paw, Tom. The small feline looked up at him and mewed. Koenma then smiled, "Hello there fella."
He knelt down and scooped up little Tom in his arms, "Are you hungry?"
The little kitten looked at him and sensing the being holding him wasn't human like two of the other occupants in this apartment, it mewed at him. Jasmine then giggled like a schoolgirl at the scene in front of her, "I think Tom likes you my prince."
Koenma shifted his attention to the young human psychic, "I think so too."
"Would you like to feed him?"
The prince nodded, "Yes my queen."
He then followed his human lover to the kitchen and Jasmine opened up the cupboard and took out a bag of crunchy kitten food. She poured the kibble into Tom's kitty bowl and the little orange kitten leapt out of Koenma's arms. He ran over to his cat mother's feet and began to cry at her.
Jasmine looked down and chuckled, "Tom just be patient. Daddy's going to feed you tonight."
Koenma raised an eyebrow at her, "Daddy?"
Jasmine started cracking up, "I didn't mean it like that Koenma. I was saying "Daddy" in the context of being a parent or pet parent to be exact. I'm his "mommy", Koashura's "Uncle Koashura", and Kotennyo is "Aunt Kotennyo". Tom may be a kitten but to me, he's like my child being that I don't have any children of my own yet because, I'm not ready to become a mom for real. Like I said to you a few months ago, I want to be married with a career before I get pregnant."
She then handed her prince the kitten food bowl full of kibble and Koenma gave her a sweet smile, "Okay then." He then chuckled, "You're too adorable, you know that?"
Koenma then knelt down to the crying hungry kitten and placed his food bowl on the floor. Little Tom scurried over to his dinner and began to eat his kibble happily. He then stood back up and gave Jasmine a soft kiss on her small pink lips and then parted seconds later.
He then put his hands on both sides of her face and pressed their foreheads together, gently nuzzling her nose, "Do you want to make love tonight?"
Jasmine then gazed into Koenma's brown eyes and gave him a sly and sexy smile, "Yes I
do." She took both of his hands off her face and kissed his long fingers. She then stood on her tip toes and seductively whispered into his ear, pushing her small perky breasts against his chest, "We haven't since we came back with how busy we both have been. But, even though I'm working hard with school and my job, I'm still a woman who wants and yearns for a man's touch. Or specifically yours, oh Koenma I want you so bad. I'm getting wet thinking about the kind of things I want you to do to me and the kind of things I want to do to you."
Koenma's eyes widened as Jasmine described in such graphic detail of the kind of things she wanted them to partake in her bedroom and the prince felt his cock getting hard as a result. After she was finished, the young demon hunter then licked his ear and bit his earlobe making her lover squeal in delight.
Jasmine took Koenma's hand and they walked out of the kitchen and seeing that Koashura and Kotennyo weren't there, the prince assumed that they either went to bed or they were going to partake in the same kind of activities that he and Jasmine were going to do. His question was answered when he heard some giggling coming from their bedroom and seeing a blue hair scrunchie on the doorknob.
Eying the blue scrunchie, Koenma asked his lover, "Why is there a scrunchie on their doorknob?"
Jasmine chuckled, "It's one of the rules of this apartment. It's been in place since before my sister moved out and Koashura and Kotennyo moved in. Caroline was the one who put it into place. It's supposed to let the other apartment occupants know that you're in your bedroom with your partner and not to be disturbed. It's basically like the girl version of the male college roommates with having a rubber band or a neck tie on the doorknob rule."
Koenma smiled and nodded, "That makes perfect sense."
He then walked over to the phone to call Genkai to let her know that he would be spending the night with Jasmine and the elderly psychic then figured out what was going on and wished her longtime friend a goodnight. After ending the phone conversation, Jasmine took Koenma into the bathroom. She let go of his hand and opened up the mirror cupboard and took out a flat round container.
Jasmine opened it up and popped a pill out and put into her mouth and sipped on some water so she could swallow it. Koenma watched her do it and the young woman looked at him and giggled at his expression, "I'm just taking my birth control. It not only prevents me from getting pregnant, it also regulates my menstrual cycle."
The prince chuckled, "I already know what birth control pills are even though we don't have those in Spirit World. We just have condoms."
Jasmine smiled, "Oh that's good because, I was kind of getting a little bit worried. We didn't use protection the entire time we were in Alaska and I don't know how a god's body or bodily fluids work or if you guys are a bit different from humans or anything. I was relieved when I got my period two weeks ago even though I am on the pill; there is still a very small chance that it might fail. So, it's better to be safe than sorry. What is the birthrate in Spirit World? I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Koenma shrugged his broad shoulders, "It's really high with ogres and demons being that they don't have much access to contraceptives. Now, people like me well, it depends on where we are at on the hierarchy. It's higher with war gods who are mainly bred and trained to become soldiers and mercenaries than say ones like me who are royalty. Yeah, people like me can get contraceptives easier than say ogres but, the royal family has the easiest getting them than gods that aren't royalty. Does that make sense?"
Jasmine just stood there staring at Koenma blankly for a moment and then nodded, "Yeah it does." Still on the subject of contraceptives, she then took out a box full of condoms that were sitting in a basket on the floor next to the sink, "These are the condoms that Koashura was talking about." She then pointed to the floor, "They are always in that basket. So, when you want to spend the night with me and want to make love, you know where they are."
The young demon hunter took out at least three individually wrapped condoms and put the rest of the box back into the basket. She then smiled and winked at him, "Just in case we want to go for more than one round."
As they were leaving the bathroom, Jasmine asked, "Koenma, you don't mind if I ask this do you?"
Koenma gave her a warm smile, "No, of course not. What else are you curious about?"
Jasmine bit her lip, thought about it for a moment and then replied, "Are there sexually transmitted diseases in Spirit World?"
Koenma then chuckled and shook his head, "Nope, there aren't any in Demon World either. It's just a Human World problem that happens with careless humans. Gods, ogres, demons and even grim reapers can't get them. We only use contraceptives to prevent unplanned pregnancies."
Jasmine brightly smiled showing her slightly crooked teeth, "That's good to know." She stood on her tip toes and kissed his cheek. The young demon hunter took her purple scrunchie off her thin bony wrist and slipped it onto her bedroom's doorknob and opened the door.
She took Koenma's hand and the prince could see the naughty twinkle in her large brown eyes as she guided him into her bedroom. Jasmine shut the door with a loud bang and locked it behind her.
The young human psychic licked her lips at him and then ordered, "Go sit on my bed."
Koenma then was immediately turned on by her demanding tone, "Yes my queen."
He then sat down on her bed and Jasmine walked over to him and slipped his purple headband over his eyes and then leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Don't touch the headband. I have a surprise for you."
The prince felt his cock getting harder by feeling Jasmine's warm breath in his ear and by her seductive and dominating manner. Jasmine then smiled and walked over to her nightstand and places the three condoms on it so she and Koenma could have easy access to them.
She walked over to her boom box and turned on some music and walked over to her closet. Jasmine opened it up and knelt down and picked up a black box and formed a sadistic smile on her pinks lips reading the label:
Toy Box
Jasmine stood back up and shut her closet door and set the black box on the floor. She then reached behind her and unzipped her dress and let it fall to her feet. Koenma just sat there on the bed feeling his cock getting harder from the excitement and then he heard her voice, "You can remove the headband now."
Koenma took the purple headband off his eyes and he dropped it on the floor as his cheeks flushed red at the beautiful sight in front of him. Jasmine as wearing a black corset around her slender waist that made her small perky breasts look amazing with a black silky thong, black lace topped thigh high stockings and black stiletto heels. Her brown curls were down and wildly free.
Jasmine's large brown eyes twinkled and she asked in a dark and seductive manner, "What do you think my prince? How does your queen look?"
Breathing very deep and shallow, Koenma then replied, "You look amazing my queen. You're like this gorgeous and sexy love goddess but, none of them compare to you."
She then knelt down and picked up the black box and then slowly sauntered over to him. Eying the box, the prince then asked her, "What's in that box?"
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "You'll see." She then set it down on the bed and then climbed up onto Koenma's lap and straddled him. Koenma could almost see her erect pink nipples poke out of the top of the corset.
Jasmine gently cupped her prince's handsome face in her small dainty hands and then deeply kissed him. She moaned into the kiss as she slipped her tongue into her lover's mouth. Koenma moaned in response and wrapped his long arms around Jasmine's
slender waist and brought her closer to him.
Jasmine pressed her body against her lover's as she brought her hands down and wrapped her arms around his neck. They both groaned like animals in heat as the young demon hunter then began to grind her wet pussy against the prince's bulge.
She then unbuttoned his jacket and slipped it off his shoulders. Still lip locked, Koenma took it off and threw it off to the side. They then broke the kiss and Jasmine quit grinding against him as she began to unbutton his orange button up shirt.
The young woman then licked her lips in anticipation eager to start their night of passionate lovemaking and perhaps using some items from her "toy box". Once she finished unbuttoning Koenma's shirt, the prince then took it off and threw it to the floor. He then eyed the black box sitting next to them still wanting to know what was in it.
Koenma looked at Jasmine who then gave him a wicked smile, "Do you want to know what's in it?"
Koenma nodded, "Yeah. Please tell me my queen."
Jasmine climbed off his lap and sat down on her bed and put the black box on her lap and gazed into her prince's eyes with that naughty twinkle in hers giving him a dark smirk. She then opened the box and Koenma's eyes widened seeing what was in it.
The inside of the black box was lined with pink satin material and inside it contained a black riding crop, a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs, a couple of small pink vibrators, one big pink dildo, a set of silky black ties that Koenma guessed were used in bondage and a silky black blindfold.
He stared at it speechless for a minute and he then looked back up at his human lover who then giggled like a schoolgirl at his reaction, "See something interesting my prince?"
Koenma then blushed a little bit and then nodded, "Yes."
Seeing his shyness, Jasmine gave him a darkly seductive giggle, "Would like to try something from it?"
He sat there breathing deep and shallow and getting turned on to the idea of using some of his lover's sex toys on her or she using them on him. Koenma nodded his head up and down as in a yes.
Jasmine gave him a lovely smile showing her slightly crooked teeth and asked sweetly, "What would like you to try?"
Koenma then began to feel nervous and said in a kind of meek and shy tone, "I…I…um…would like to try the…um…"
The young demon hunter began to sweetly giggle at his shyness, "Koenma don't be shy, just go ahead and tell me." She then gently took his hand in comfort. Still blushing like mad, the prince took a deep breath and replied, "I would to try the handcuffs and the blindfold."
Jasmine gave him a wicked smile, "Excellent choice, would you like me to try them on you?"
Koenma blushed even redder and just silently nodded as in a yes. Jasmine clapped her hands together overjoyed, "Wonderful." She then took the pink fuzzy handcuffs and the silky blindfold out of the "Toy Box".
She then took off her black stilettos and crawled up to the head of the bed and wrapped the handcuff chain around one of the bars of the headboard and shifted her attention back to her royal lover. "Koenma come here." She said in a demanding tone.
The prince felt his cock getting harder being turned on from it, "Yes my queen." He then did as she ordered and then laid down. Jasmine then forcefully took one of his arms and then gently clasped the cool metal wrapped up in the fuzzy pink material around his wrist. She did the same to his other arm and Koenma looked up at her when he realized he couldn't move his arms at all and it sent shivering excitement throughout his body.
Jasmine looked down at him and giggled darkly as she held the black silky blindfold. Wanting to help him feel comfortable she asked, "Are the cuffs too tight?"
Koenma shook his head, "No."
The young human woman smiled, "Good. Now Koenma, I'm only going to ask this once, do you trust me?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes my queen. I love you Jasmine and I trust you. May we start?"
Jasmine gave him a sweet smile, "Of course my prince." She then knelt down and gave him a deep kiss making him moan and then parted seconds later. The young psychic then slipped the silky black blindfold over Koenma's brown eyes.
She once again spoke in her demanding tone that he loved, "Now Koenma, you will lay there and I will do whatever I want to do to you. Are you ready?"
Laying there in wanting anticipation he responded, "Yes."
Suddenly Koenma felt something like a feather sweep across his chin and down his neck. He then moaned when he felt his lover trail hot kisses down his neck and onto his toned chest.
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl again, "Does that feel good?"
"Oh yes."
The young woman smiled and then trailed more soft kisses down his toned stomach and stopped to remove his shoes and socks and began to undo his belt and unzip his pants. Jasmine then rubbed his bulge and looked up at him chuckling seeing his reactions. She pulled off his pants and his boxers freeing Koenma's erection and began to gently stroke his rock hard cock.
"Ahhn…Jasmine."
She then licked the tip of his cock marveling at his taste and swirled her tongue around the head. The young woman began to lick Koenma's cock from the base to its head like she was licking a lollipop. After a couple more licks, Jasmine then took him into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down as she took in more and more of his length each time as she kept a slow and steady pace. Koenma tried to move his arms wanting to bury his hands in his human lover's soft brown curls.
He began to get a bit frustrated with how the pink fuzzy handcuffs prevented him from doing so. The prince then let out a loud squeal when he felt her begin to massage his balls. With her mouth on his cock, her hand gently squeezing his balls along with being blindfolded and handcuffed to the bed it was like torture but damn, it felt so fucking good.
Jasmine then looked up and felt her pussy getting wetter seeing her prince writhing in pleasure. She took his cock out of her mouth with a loud popping sound making him whine in protest. The demon hunter giggled darkly, "Not yet my prince. There is still more fun to be had. I'll let you cum when I feel you're good and ready to."
Koenma groaned with a mixture of disappointment and getting turned on from his ordeal. Jasmine then giggled like a schoolgirl and took out one of the small vibrators from her "toy box" and turned it on to its lowest setting. She licked her lips and said to her lover in a sweet seductive voice, "Just relax my love. Just relax."
She gave his balls a gentle lick and began to suck on them while she gently brought up the little pink vibrator and ran it along the shaft of her lover's cock. Koenma then gasped at the pleasure it brought him, "JASMINE!"
Jasmine took her lover's balls out of her mouth and giggled darkly, "Do you like that my prince."
"Oh my god yes!"
Seeing the amount of precum leaking out of the tip of his cock, Jasmine then began to lick the shaft from the base to its head again while she still ran the vibrator along his penis. Koenma gripped onto the bars of the headboard and let out a low groan.
"Do you like that? Does that feel good?"
"Hnnn…y…yes…m...my queen."
The young human psychic then smirked and took his cock into her mouth once again and brought him to the back of her throat. As Jasmine kept up her slow and steady pace once again, she cranked up the vibrator's intensity to its next setting and began to run it along his balls.
Koenma then gripped the headboard bars harder and arched back. He bit his lip to keep from moaning out because, he didn't want Koashura and Kotennyo to hear him. With his cock still in her mouth, Jasmine looked up and narrowed her brown eyes. She really wanted to hear him moan and scream out her name.
To get him to lose control and get her wish, she then cranked up the vibrator to its highest setting and ran it along his balls again. Feeling the jolt of pleasure from it, the prince let out a loud shriek in pleasure, "OH FUCK!"
Jasmine giggled at his reaction which sent small vibrations on her lover's cock. Koenma then let out another loud cry not even caring about who heard him this time. The young demon hunter then sped up her pace while still running the vibrator on her lover's balls. Koenma could feel his orgasm begin to build and then cried out, "Oh Jasmine…I…I…I'm close."
She looked up at him keeping up her pace on his cock and felt her pussy getting wetter. Oh how she wanted to have him cum in her mouth and then she wanted him to eat her out until she climaxes and then make love to him hard and rough until they both cum hard.
Still keeping up her fast pace on Koenma's rock hard cock and running the vibrator along his balls, Jasmine then began to gently massage them. The jolt of pleasure then sent the young prince over the edge and he came screaming out his lover's name as released his hot seed into her mouth, "JASMINE!"
She swallowed everything he gave and gently licked him clean. Jasmine then took his cock out of her mouth, let go of his balls and turned off the little pink vibrator. She watched him breathing heavily from the intense orgasm she gave him and set the vibrator on her nightstand and crawled up to the head of the bed.
Jasmine then gently removed the silky black blindfold and Koenma looked up at her giving her a wide grin in such serene satisfaction. Before she could ask him if he enjoyed it, the prince then said with amazement, "Wow that was amazing."
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl again, "I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Koenma smiled brightly, "Oh yes I did. You gave me one of the best orgasms I have ever experienced. Now uncuff me, it's your turn. I want to make you cum hard my queen. I want to make you feel just as good if not better than what you did to me."
Hearing him say that made her body heat up and her pussy get wetter. Jasmine licked her lips at him and replied in a seductive tone, "As you wish my prince."
She then reached up and undid the pink fuzzy handcuffs releasing her prince. Koenma sat up and rolled his broad shoulders to get the circulation to return to them. He eyed her with such hazy animalistic lust which really turned Jasmine on. Before Jasmine knew it, she was laying on her back after Koenma had tackled her.
She giggled again, "You animal."
He gave her a dark smirk and then gave her a deep and passionate kiss. Jasmine moaned into the kiss and returned the same deep passion by slipping her tongue into his mouth and caressed his with hers. After a short minute, Koenma then broke the kiss and began to trail soft hot kisses onto her neck and started to kiss, nip, and suck on that sensitive spot again.
"Oh Koenma."
He continued to suck on her neck as he reached around her and gently loosened up her corset. Koenma looked at her after breaking the kiss and Jasmine looked up at him curiously, "Why did you do that?"
The prince gave her a wicked smile, "I want to see your beautiful breasts pop out when we make love. When they do, I want to play with them."
Jasmine looked up at him and giggled cutely getting turned on to the thought, "You can do whatever you want. I'm getting so wet just thinking about you ravishing my body. You better start before I start masturbating in front of you."
Koenma felt his cock getting hard again from the thought, "We should try that."
Jasmine giggled, "Not tonight. Let's save it for some other time."
He just chuckled and then gave his human lover another deep and passionate kiss. Still lip locked, Jasmine laid down on the bed and Koenma broke the kiss to trail soft kisses down her neck. He kissed down to her collarbone then down her chest and lightly kissed above her breasts. Koenma paused to remove Jasmine's black thong and threw it off to the side.
He resumed with kissing up her leg to her inner thigh. The prince smirked when he began to tease the sensitive flesh of the young demon hunter's thigh, kissing, nipping and sucking. Jasmine gasped and began to whimper in pleasure feeling her pussy getting wetter from the excitement.
She looked down and Koenma stopped teasing her to look up at her, giving her a dark and seductive smirk. He then spread her pussy lips apart and gave her wet pussy a lick. Jasmine moaned from the pleasure it brought her as her prince lapped at her juices like a cat lapping up its milk.
The young woman clenched onto the sheets below her and cried out, "Oh Koenma."
Koenma then licked up to her throbbing clit and gave it a couple of licks and swirled his tongue around it. Jasmine bit her lip. Oh it was such torture, she wanted him to stop teasing her and she got her wish when her lover took her sensitive clit into his mouth and began to use his tongue to dig it up from under its hood.
Koenma then started to suck on that sensitive bead of flesh making his woman moan and arch back, writhing from the pleasure.
"Oh yes! Ahhhhh!"
The prince felt his cock getting harder from hearing her loud and lewd sounds. He wanted her to make more, so he slipped one of his long fingers inside her and began to gently pump it in and out of her sopping wet pussy.
Jasmine clenched onto the sheets tighter and her moans and whimpers grew louder, lewder, and became desperate sounding. Koenma looked up at her as he continued to suck her clit harder and continued to pump his finger in and out of her at a steady pace.
"Oh Koenma, I love you!"
Jasmine's breathing became deeper and labored especially when her lover slipped a second finger inside her and started to pump them at a faster pace rubbing against the right spot making her clench onto the sheets tighter.
The young demon hunter began to feel her orgasm begin to build and she knew she was going to cum soon. Koenma could feel that she was getting close and he wasn't finished with her yet. He wanted to make her cum hard. He quit sucking on her clit and withdrew his fingers from her pussy making Jasmine whine in protest.
"W…why did you stop?" she complained. Sadly, she didn't get an answer when the young prince then began to lick her up again, tasting her sweet juices. Jasmine moaned and she cried out in surprise when her lover slipped his tongue into her wet entrance and began to curl and probe it inside her.
"Oh my god!"
Jasmine then looked down and saw the darkly seductive look in his brown eyes. He tore his eyes away from her and began to use his thumb to gently rub circles on her throbbing clit. The young human psychic then laid her head back down on the bed. She let go of the sheets below her and buried her small dainty hands in her lover's luscious brown hair, gently bringing his head closer to her wet crotch.
Rubbing her clit a little harder and continuing to probe and curl his tongue inside his woman, going a little deeper each time, Koenma then looked up at her again and Jasmine then looked down to see the hazy lust and deep love in his eyes. The prince saw the glazed over look in hers, really turning him on.
Koenma could feel that Jasmine was almost at her limit and kept curling and probing his tongue the same way and rubbing her clit which made her start to beg for her release.
"Oh Koenma, please make me cum!"
Jasmine broke eye contact with her lover and laid her head back down on the bed. Koenma rubbed her clit a little harder and pushed his tongue as deep as he can go inside her. Jasmine arched back and feeling her orgasm wash over her; she tugged on her prince's hair and cried out as she released her juices, "KOENMA!"
Jasmine then let go of her lover's scalp and put her hand on her chest recovering from the intense orgasm she just experienced. Oh how she missed this and she felt it was one of the best ones she had since she and Koenma left Alaska.
Once regaining her composure she sat up to see her lover lick her juices off his luscious lips. She and Koenma gave each other another deep and loving kiss and Jasmine felt herself getting so turned on from tasting the mixture of the taste of her juices and her lover's mouth.
They then parted after a couple of minutes and they both stared into each other's eyes. Koenma nuzzled his nose against Jasmine's and asked her, "Are you ready to make love now?"
Jasmine gave him a sly smile, "Yes, my prince. I want your big royal cock inside me but, first."
She then leaned over to her nightstand and picked up one of the three condoms she brought in. The young demon hunter gave her lover a sweet smile, "Would you like me to show you how to put this on?"
Koenma blushed a little bit and nodded, "Sure."
Jasmine gave him a bright smile and opened up the condom packet and took the condom out of it. She threw the empty packet into the small trashcan next to her bed. Koenma just sat there and let his lover show him how to slide it onto his cock.
He gave a small smile and cocked his head to the side and said in amazement, "Huh, that wasn't too hard."
Jasmine chuckled thinking her prince couldn't be any cuter with his curiosity and then asked him, "You're not uncomfortable at all? Is it too tight, too loose, or just weird?"
Surprisingly Koenma shook his head to all three of those questions, "No not really. It's just kind of um….how do I put this…it kind of feels….well…" he then blushed and cutely scratched the back of his head.
Jasmine chuckled, "Interesting?"
Koenma just silently nodded and he and Jasmine both then giggled at his reaction. The young demon hunter laid down on the bed and spread her legs for him. The prince then crawled over to her and gave her a soft and deep kiss. The lovers both moaned when Koenma pushed his cock inside Jasmine's dripping wet pussy.
They deepened the kiss as Koenma began to gently thrust into his lover making her moan in pleasure. The young god went at a slow and steady pleasurable pace for the both of them. They then broke the kiss and Jasmine arched her neck back and groaned, "Oh yeah."
Koenma gave her a warm smile, "Does that feel good my queen?"
The young woman just purred in response, "Mmmmm…yes."
The prince picked up his pace, thrusting his cock a little deeper inside her. He then softly kissed her neck and he gave a deep groan, "I love you Jasmine."
"Ahhhh…I love you too."
Jasmine then moved her neck back to its normal position to face her lover once more to look into his brown eyes. She and Koenma kissed each other again and Jasmine wrapped her legs around his slender waist to bring him closer to her, urging him to thrust his rock hard cock deeper into her wet pussy.
They broke the kiss and Jasmine then whispered in a sultry way, "Harder, faster."
Koenma gave her a sly smirk, "As you wish my queen."
He then quickened his pace and began to thrust harder. Jasmine began to buck her hips meeting her lover's thrusts. She arched back and cried out in pleasure, "Oh Koenma!"
As she arched back, her small perky breasts popped out of her loosened up black corset. Seeing this Koenma licked his lips, oh it was such a turn on for him. The prince brought up one of his strong hands and began to massage one, playing with Jasmine's hard pink nipple with his thumb.
Jasmine's moans grew louder and lewder at her lover's touch. Koenma stopped playing with her breast and said to his woman in a sweet and sort of innocent manner, "Jasmine, can you play with your beautiful breasts? I want to watch you play with yourself. Please my queen."
Hearing her lover's request, Jasmine licked her lips, getting turned on to the idea. She then began to massage her small perky breasts and Koenma then thrusted his cock deeper and harder into her hitting the right spot. Jasmine lewdly moaned from the two sensations getting pleasure from both of them at the same time.
The lovers began to move faster and they began to sweat as their breathing became shallower and deeper. After a little bit, Jasmine quit playing with her breasts and she began to feel a little short out of breath. Koenma saw how flushed her cheeks were getting and noticed her breathing pattern. The prince then began to feel concerned and asked her, "Are you okay?"
Jasmine then took in a sharp breath and then replied, "N…not…r…really. C…corset…get i…it…off."
The prince nodded. He didn't want this passionate and heated night to be ruined, so he reached behind his lover and began to loosen the ties a little more. Jasmine looked up at him, "H…hurry."
Realizing, he needed to act fast, Koenma then tugged on the ties as hard as he could. They didn't budge much. The young god then withdrew his still hard cock from his lover's pussy and had her sit up. Koenma then reached behind her again and tugged the cords really hard. Koenma and Jasmine both hear a ripping sound and the young demon hunter then realized her prince, her adorable, sweet, and dorky prince had torn her corset.
She looked over at him and saw the apologetic look on his face. Instead of getting mad, Jasmine felt her pussy getting wetter, clearly turned on by what Koenma just did. She smiled at him and said in a low and sexy voice, "Take it off of me. Rip it off my prince."
Koenma smiled and happily obliged. He reached behind her again and gave the ruined corset a final tug and completely torn the back open. He removed it from his lover's slender waist and threw it on the floor. Jasmine sat there breathing heavily and then without warning she tackled Koenma onto the bed.
Now only wearing her black thigh high stockings, she straddled him and slipped his rock hard cock into her dripping wet pussy. Jasmine began to ride her sexy prince fast and hard. Koenma held onto her small hips and loudly and lewdly moaned from the pleasure it brought him.
He held her close to his body and Jasmine pressed her naked breasts against his toned chest. They shared another hot and passionate kiss as the young demon hunter quickened her pace. The lovers both moan into the kiss enjoying and savoring every second of their passionate lovemaking. Jasmine broke the kiss and gazed into her prince's brown eyes.
"I love you my prince."
"I love you too my queen."
Koenma kissed his lover's neck and Jasmine arched her neck back and groaned at how good it felt. The prince then took one of Jasmine's soft breasts into his hand and licked her hard pink nipple. The young demon hunter moved her head back to face him and sighed at his gentle touch.
After playing with her breasts for a little bit, Koenma then wrapped his arms around Jasmine's slender waist and looked into her eyes lovingly. Their breathing became deeper and labored and feeling close to cumming, Jasmine asked her prince, "Are you close?"
Koenma gave a deep moan and nodded, "Yes."
They shared another deep and loving kiss and after a little bit longer, they broke the kiss and feeling her orgasm wash over her body, Jasmine then arched back and cried out in pure ecstasy, "OH KOENMA!"
Feeling his orgasm hit him, Koenma held his human lover close as he cried out her name when he came, "AHHH JASMINE!"
They both collapsed on the bed with Jasmine lying on top of her lover. She laid her head down on Koenma's chest. Jasmine looked up at him with such a serene smile of satisfaction on her face. Koenma then looked down at her giving her the same response, "You were amazing my queen."
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl and rolled off of him withdrawing his cock from her pussy. She removed the condom off his cock and deposited it into her trash bin by her bed and then snuggled up close to Koenma's bare toned chest. She kissed near one of his nipples and smiled, "You were just as amazing my prince. You have no idea how much I have missed being in your strong arms."
Koenma chuckled, "Me too. I hope you aren't mad that I trashed your corset."
Jasmine laughed, "Nope, I'm not mad. Actually, that was a really poor quality one that I was going to get rid of anyway. I didn't expect it to constrict me like it did. Thank you for taking it off of me."
"You're welcome." He then kissed her forehead and wrapped his long arms around his lover's slender body. They both pulled the covers over their naked bodies and snuggled up closer to each other.
Jasmine and Koenma both yawned feeling exhausted from their passionate lovemaking. They both shut the eyes and Jasmine asked, "Still going to hang with Jorge tomorrow?"
"Mm hm. Is breakfast with Shizuru still a go for you?"
Jasmine yawned again, "Yes. I love you Koenma."
"I love you too Jasmine."
They then both fell asleep in each other's arms while the rock music on Jasmine's radio/boom box played in the background. The next morning, Jasmine and Kotennyo met Shizuru for breakfast at the Kuwabara residence. The young demon hunter and her goddess friend arrived a little bit late because; Jasmine and Koenma had another sexy and sensual romp when they woke up.
Kotennyo heard their loud moans of passion when she went to go knock on her human friend's bedroom door to make sure that they wouldn't run late. When Jasmine and Koenma walked out to go take their shower, Kotennyo started to crack jokes and snarky comments about her two friends' love fest and have been doing it all morning much to Koenma's and Jasmine's displeasure.
Luckily, Jasmine and Kotennyo weren't the only ones running late, Shizuru was lagging a bit that morning too being that she forgot to set her alarm the previous night and that Kazuma wouldn't get out of bed when she called him repeatedly for breakfast. After the older Kuwabara sibling had finished cooking everyone's breakfast, she rushed over to her younger brother's bedroom door and banged on it again.
"Kazuma, get your ass up! I'm not going to ask you again!"
She then heard Kuwabara's tired groaning on the other side, "Alright Shizuru, you don't have to nag."
Shizuru rolled her eyes and walked back into the dining room where Jasmine and Kotennyo sat patiently, "Sorry about him, my stupid brother is being a stubborn ass this morning. I told him not to stay up too late watching TV again."
Jasmine chuckled, "It's okay, Kotennyo and I are kind of having a late start too."
The young goddess then scoffed, "Yeah, I'll say. It's all because you and Koenma decided to have another round of fucking this morning."
Jasmine shifted her attention to her, "You heard us last night?"
Kotennyo gave a small laugh, "Yeah. My god, I can't decide who's louder, you or him. Seriously, you guys are louder than me and Koashura combined."
The young demon hunter just sat there with her pale freckled cheeks turning a bright red. Shizuru started to crack up too and regaining her composure she asked, "So you and Koenma finally took the next step in your relationship huh?"
Still blushing, the slightly younger psychic nodded, "Yeah. We made love for the first time in Anchorage the first night we were there. Koenma was so adorable with his shyness," she then sighed dreamily thinking about that night, "I guided him through it. Even though it was his first time, it was wonderful."
Shizuru gave her friend a warm smile, "Congratulations to you both, so if you want any pointers on how to spice up your love life, don't be afraid to ask."
Jasmine blushed a deep red in slight embarrassment, "Um…thanks Shizuru." She then decided to change the subject by asking Kotennyo, "So, what is Koashura going to be up to today being that he doesn't have to work at the school's coffee counter?"
Kotennyo took a bite from her bacon and washed it down with her orange juice, "He needed to go to the university today because, the head of the music department wanted to discuss something with him."
Just then, Kuwabara walked into the dining room wearing pajamas with his red hair sticking up everywhere and yawned. He sat down at the table and began to eat in peace. Shizuru sniffed the air and gave her brother a stern look, "Kazuma, you reek. After you finish eating, go take a shower. Good god, what did you eat last night?"
Kuwabara gulped some of his juice and rolled his eyes, "None of your business."
Shizuru rolled her eyes, "Well, you better take a good shower today because aren't you going to hang out with Yukina all day?"
The younger Kuwabara sibling then perked up at the mention of his beautiful ice demon girlfriend, "Of course Shizuru, why would I want to smell like ass when I'm around my sweet love?"
Seeing the way he was acting, Jasmine and Kotennyo started cracking up. After hastily finishing off his meal, Kuwabara then rushed into the hallway to get ready to take his shower. The young demon hunter and the goddess just sat there laughing at how entertaining the redheaded psychic was until he ran into the bathroom slamming the door behind him.
Shizuru snapped her attention to the source of the noise and yelled at her brother, "Don't slam the damn door so hard or it will come out of your allowance if you break something!"
She shifted her attention back to her two laughing friends, "Again, sorry about him."
Jasmine stopped laughing and just slightly giggled, "It's okay, you should have seen Koenma this morning after we made love. He was rushing around like a maniac."
The three young women finished off their breakfast and about fifteen minutes later, they all sat in the living room looking through the pictures Jasmine and Koenma took on their trip to Alaska.
Flipping through the photos, the older Kuwabara sibling started to crack up while looking at a picture of Koenma being a total dork while posing in front of a moose, "Wow, I'm surprised that moose didn't attack you guys."
Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "Me too believe it or not but, I guess it sensed that Koenma wasn't human and didn't see him a threat. Moose are usually very territorial creatures. After I took that picture, I quickly got back into our rental car and told Koenma to get his ass back in there even though he wanted to feed it."
Shizuru stopped laughing, "I thought it was dangerous to approach the wildlife in Alaska."
"Well, apparently only for humans," Kotennyo added.
Later that afternoon at Genkai's compound, Koenma and Jorge were hanging out and were getting ready to go out to the backyard to clear the snow off the giant trampoline to go jump on it that is until Koashura rushed in.
The redheaded god ran in and tried to catch his breath. Koenma and Jorge shifted their attention to him and the prince asked his childhood friend, "What's up?"
Koashura finally caught his breath, "You guys got a minute?"
"Sure."
The two gods and the one ogre walked into Genkai's kitchen and sat down at the wooden breakfast table. Jorge walked over with three cans of orange soda and gave one to Koenma and Koashura. They all popped the tops of their soda cans and took a sip.
The prince then asked the redhead, "What's got you so excited?"
Koashura took a sip from his orange soda, "Well, I was at the university today talking to one of my professors who's also the head of the music department and well, something awesome has happened."
Koenma and Jorge both sipped from their orange soda and the blue ogre asked, "How awesome?"
Koashura sipped from his soda again, "Really awesome. So awesome in fact, we probably landed our first gig for our band."
Koenma and Jorge sat there speechless for a minute and then the prince found his voice, "What? Seriously?"
Koashura nodded, "Yeah. Professor Miraki wants me to come back with you guys to discuss it with all four of us tomorrow after I get finished with my classes. He would also love to hear a recording of us playing so he can get an idea of what we sound like. If we agree to it, we'll get to play at Mushiori University's Annual Rock and Roll Night."
Before Koenma could reply, Jorge then interjected, "Sounds like fun, count me in." he shifted his attention to his boss, "So Koenma sir, do you want to do it? We can't play if you say no since you're the singer and songwriter."
Koenma sat there and thought about for a minute and he shrugged his broad shoulders figuring it wouldn't hurt. In fact, the prince had wanted people to hear Exit Strategy's new music since playing at Kurama's mom's wedding many months prior. Koenma was dying for people to hear their new songs.
"Sure, count me in too Koashura. Now, we need to ask Shunjun before we discuss this further."
Jorge finished off his orange soda and crushed the can in his big blue hand, "Way ahead of you guys. I'll go to Spirit World and go get him."
The blue ogre stood up and threw his crushed soda can into the trashcan by the sink. He walked out of the compound and about ten minutes later, Jorge returned with Shunjun and they walked back into the compound brushing the snow off their coats.
They met up with Koenma and Koashura in the front shrine room and the blue haired soldier then asked, "So Koashura, what's going on?"
The redheaded god then went on to tell Shunjun about the specifics of possibly landing their first gig and then asked him, "Are you interested?"
Shunjun nodded, "Hell yeah. I was wondering when we were going to perform in front of anyone."
Koenma smiled, "Great, everyone is on board." He then asked Koashura, "So when is this rock and roll night going to be?"
Koashura sipped from his second soda after he finished off his first, "It's going to be on the first of February. Why is there something special about that day?"
The prince eyed his childhood friend and replied, "Yeah, it's Jasmine's birthday. How can you forget?"
Koashura slapped himself on his forehead, "Shit! I'm such a dumbass. What the fuck are we going to do?"
All four members of the band thought about it for a minute and then Koenma suggested, "Why don't we perform a song for her? Also, we need to talk to her and Kotennyo about this. What you guys say we all go over to your apartment so we can discuss a solution that everyone will be happy with?"
The redhead smiled, liking the idea, "Okay but Koenma, I have to ask, how do you know when Jasmine's birthday is?"
The prince chuckled, "She told me during my birthday party."
Deciding to change the subject, Koenma then asked Koashura, "So, how many songs does this Professor Miraki want to hear?"
Koashura sipped from his orange soda, "About two. So, I was thinking that we can record one love song and the other can be one that you wrote about your dad. Also, I almost forgot to mention, Professor Miraki also said that he wanted to discuss this with our band manager."
The other three members of the band just stared at the redhead speechless until Shunjun was the first to speak, "We don't have a band manager."
Koashura sighed, "I know. If we are going to hire one, it should be someone we know and someone who's trustworthy."
Koenma then interjected, "Who do we know that's trustworthy?"
All four men thought about it for a minute, until the young prince suddenly got a bright idea. Of course, why didn't he ask her before? He then shouted, "Genkai, can you come in here for a minute?"
The elderly psychic rushed in and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Koenma then explained to his longtime friend about possibly landing a gig for the band at Mushiori University and told her in explicit detail about the upcoming audition. He then decided to go ahead and ask her, "One more thing, Genkai we wanted to ask you something."
Genkai just stood there wanting to know what her godly friend wanted to ask her. Then Koenma decided to come out and say it, "When we go audition at the university, the music program head wants to discuss the gig with our band manager and since we don't have one, I was or more like we were wondering if you would like to be our manager? Please Genkai?"
The small old woman just stood there not knowing what to say. She thought about it for a moment and shrugged her small shoulders, "Sure, why the hell not? I have nothing else better to do when the six fighters complete their training and go back to Demon World with Kurama next week."
Koenma, Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun all gave her bright smiles in gratitude and Koenma then said, "Thank you Genkai. We all really appreciate it and you're a really good friend."
Genkai gave them all a small smile and replied, "It's not a problem, I'm more than happy to help you guys out and be a part of this band thing." She then checked the clock on the wall, "Well, I better get back to training our six demon friends; I'll talk to you guys later."
The prince smiled and nodded, "Have fun." Genkai then left the room and four members of Exit Strategy then began to discuss which two songs they wanted to record for their audition.
They all began to throw out suggestions left and right and then Jorge suggested, "For the love song, why don't we do "Love You All Night"?"
Koenma then chuckled at his ogre servant's request, "I have wanted people to hear that one but Ogre, it's about sex. We want to make a good impression with this audition. Besides, if we do get this gig, I wanted to save it for that anyway."
Jorge stared blinking at his boss, "Okay. What do you suggest sir?"
Koenma thought about it for a moment and then replied, "Well, I wanted our love song to be "Queen of My Heart". Are you guys okay with that or do you want to use another?"
Koashura, Shunjun and Jorge all smiled liking the idea and the redheaded god replied, "I am. I think it's a good idea. Hell, we haven't practiced that one since around Christmas."
"I agree." Jorge added and Shunjun nodded in approval.
The prince smiled, "Okay, so it's settled that "Queen of My Heart" is going to be our love song we're going to audition with."
Now it was the matter of deciding which song about Spirit World/King Yama they would like to record. All four members then began to shoot out suggestions with Koashura saying one, "How about "Just Plain Evil"?"
Koenma shook his head, "I love that one but, there are still some tweaks and a few things to rewrite. It's half finished and I don't want anyone to hear something that's not completed."
"What about "No Friend of Mine"?" Shunjun asked. Once again the prince shook his head and replied to the blue haired SDF captain, "That one is also unfinished."
Just then Jorge had a bright idea and then asked, "How about one that already finished like "Tyrant of Crazy Town"?"
Koenma shifted his attention to the blue ogre and smiled, "Yeah Ogre, I have been dying for people to hear that. Koashura, Shunjun, how do you guys feel about that one?"
They both smiled adoring the idea and Koashura said with excitement, "Oh hell yeah, that one kicks ass. I was wondering when we were going to perform that one."
"Yeah me too, I love the drumbeat for that one. I always felt it was a cross between Metallica, Nirvana, Korn, and Stone Temple Pilots." Shunjun added.
"Great. Okay, let's set everything up and let's do this thing." Koenma then stood up as did the other three members of the band. They all set up their instruments and the recording equipment. Koenma put one of the blank CDs that Shunjun gave him for his birthday into his boom box, which surprised the prince that it had a recording device.
After rehearsing "Queen of My Heart" and "Tyrant of Crazy Town" a few times, Koenma turned on the recording device on his boom box and the band began to record themselves playing their two songs. The next day at Mushiori University after the college trio finished up their classes for the day, all four members of Exit Strategy, their new manager Genkai, and Jasmine and Kotennyo who were there to show their support, were at one of the university's music rooms for the band's audition.
Professor Miraki put in the band's demo with the two songs they recorded the previous night and began to listen. After listening to both songs, the ordinary human then stopped the CD and shifted his attention to the group of four men and three women. He gave them all a bright smile and said, "Wow, there are no words to describe what I just heard."
Koashura eyed his music professor curiously, "What do you think?"
Professor Miraki gave his student a warm smile, "It was phenomenal. Both of those songs were well written, the music composition is very well crafted and organized, I already told you this Koashura but, just like you, your friends are also talented instrumentalists. As for the singer," he shifted his attention to Koenma, "Mr. Loveless, you have a great set of pipes on you. You should consider enrolling in this school and audition for the choir. Also, your voice can take you places outside of this university. Have you ever considered taking up singing as a profession?"
Koenma shook his head, "No I have not."
Professor Miraki just gave the prince a chuckle and then decided to change the subject back to the audition. The ordinary human then said, "Well, before I make my final decision, I would love to see you guys play, just to get the jist of what you sound like live."
Koenma nodded, "Sure. Is there any song in particular you want to hear?"
Professor Miraki thought about it for a minute and then replied, "I would love to hear you guys play the second track. I like the first track too, it was very romantic, girls and women would love that one but, the second song was very deep and intense. I think it's my favorite."
Koashura then mentioned, "The first song is called "Queen of My Heart" and the second one is "Tyrant of Crazy Town". Both songs' lyrics were written by Korrie and the music was composed by our bassist John."
Then all four members of the band then set up their equipment and Shunjun raised his wooden drumsticks over his head and tapped them together, counting to three. The blue haired SDF soldier then started his drumbeat and Koashura followed suit starting his guitar riff. Jorge then began his bass riff seconds later and they continued to play the song's instrumental riff for the first minute.
The song's tempo picked up and grew harder and intense and Koenma picked up his microphone, turned it on and brought it up to his lips. His enchanting voice then filled the four corners of the university's music room as he sang the first verse:
The people of Crazy Town are living in fear
It seems like they can't do anything without pissing off their so called leader
Whatever they say or do that's against him, the old fool will do whatever he can to keep his pristine reputation
Even if he has kill all who oppose them
Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun then did a key change with their riff and Koenma then roared out the first chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
Koenma then quit singing as Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun slowed down the tempo and went back to the first key and back to the same riff of the first verse. The young prince brought the microphone back up to his lips, took a deep breath and sang out the second chorus:
Strange things have been happening in Crazy Town, no one knows how it's happening
The people are too afraid to say something with the fear of their tyrannical leader finding out
It is said that he's the one who is the cause of it but, no one has any proof
Those who usually oppose that man, are always silenced even if they tell the truth
The song's key changed once again and Koenma then roared out the second chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
Koenma then quit singing once again as Koashura broke out into a guitar solo, getting so into it, the redheaded god then began to headbang and the prince raised an eyebrow at him. Koashura's long red hair then began to go everywhere. Kotennyo began to cheer her boyfriend on while Jasmine and Genkai just sat there watching the scene in front of them.
Koashura then finished up his guitar solo and Koenma just shook his head and brought the microphone back up his mouth and then sang the bridge and the third verse:
Some have been thrown into prison
Others were senselessly murdered
It is very rare if any of them were really guilty
Crazy Town is quickly going to Hell and there's just nothing their citizens can do about it
Their friends and loved ones have started to go missing and most cannot figure out why
The ones that do, are made to suffer
All because their leader is one sick fucker!
The key then changed once again and Koenma roared out the third and final chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
He's a life ruiner and probably a murderer
Just leave Crazy Town; you'll be a lot safer if you do
Koashura, Jorge, and Shujun then finished off their instrumental riff. Jasmine, Kotennyo, and Genkai all gave them a round of applause as did Professor Miraki. Koenma turned off the microphone and the ordinary human college professor then said in praise, "That was amazing. You guys sound better live than on the CD. You have the gig."
Koenma, Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun all looked at each other and back at Professor Miraki. All four of them were speechless until Koashura found his voice and said, "Wow, thanks Professor."
"It's no problem. I am thinking of making you four my main act being that you're the best local band I have heard in a long time."
After going over a few more details of the upcoming musical event, they then left the university grounds after thanking Professor Miraki one more time. As they were walking back the college trio's apartment, Koenma took his human lover's hand and kissed it and began to feel guilty about the band's first gig being scheduled on Jasmine's birthday.
Jasmine looked up at Koenma and seeing the apologetic look on his face she then asked him, "What's wrong? You look like you feel guilty about something."
Koenma groaned and said, "I do. I feel really bad that my band's first real gig is on the same night when we were going to celebrate your 21st birthday."
The young demon hunter giggled like a schoolgirl, "It's okay Koenma. I think it's really cool that you and the band are going to get some more exposure. You shouldn't hide your music."
"Yes but, what about your birthday?"
Jasmine kissed her boyfriend's hand. She loved how sweet and caring he was for her wellbeing and best interests but, Jasmine felt Koenma's was just as if not more important than hers right now. She then gave him a sweet smile and said, "Tell you what, if it means so much to you, how about we combine the band's gig with my birthday? My mom has been talking about baking a really big cake for my birthday anyway."
They soon arrived the apartment complex and after pushing the button for the super to let them in. Koenma, Koashura, Genkai, Jasmine, Kotennyo, Jorge, and Shunjun all sat in the living room and continued to discuss the subject. Kotennyo then decided to suggest something, "Okay, if we're going to go through on combining the gig and Jasmine's birthday party, we should invite people we know. Well, besides a whole slew of individuals coming to see the show. Does anyone have any good ideas on how we are going to go about this?"
They all thought about it for a minute until Genkai then broke the silence with her idea, "Maybe we should make flyers and post them around town. They can also double as invitations for Jasmine's birthday too."
"I like it. Kotennyo, how do you feel about designing them?"
Everyone shifted their attention to the young goddess and Kotennyo replied, "Sure, I also have been designing some things for the band too; so making flyers should be a breeze."
Jasmine then looked at the cat clock hanging on the wall, "Yikes, I would love to discuss this more but, Kotennyo and I have to get ready for our dance aerobics class. Why don't we continue this conversation over breakfast tomorrow? When I get back, I'm going straight to bed because I have an early morning class at 9:30."
Koenma kissed his human lover's cheek and asked her, "What time do you want to meet for breakfast?"
Jasmine gave him a quick kiss and replied, "Why don't we all meet at Genkai's at seven? Is everyone cool with that?"
Everyone all nodded in agreement. A few minutes later, Koenma, Jorge, Genkai, Shunjun, Jasmine and Kotennyo left the apartment leaving Koashura to watch TV.
Kotennyo and Jasmine then separated from the rest of the group to head off to the gym and about ten minutes later, they arrived and met up with Shizuru who was there with a beautiful young woman with blue hair and pretty pink eyes that Jasmine recognized as, "Botan, hey. It's good to see you. What are you doing here?"
Botan gave the curly haired psychic a warm smile, "It's good to see you too Jasmine. I decided to visit with the girls today. I miss them so much."
Jasmine gave the lovely grim reaper a warm smile and then decided to change the subject by asking her, "So, are you going to work out with us?"
Botan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Shizuru invited me when I bumped into her in town today. I have never tried dance aerobics before."
"You're going to love it."
A minute later, all four young women walked into the gym and after changing into their workout clothes, they began the dance aerobics class. Botan seemed to catch onto it very fast and the blue haired reaper really enjoyed herself. At the end of class, while they were changing back into their street clothes, Jasmine then asked Botan, "How did you like the class?"
Botan slipped on her blue jeans and zipped them up, "It was so much fun. Whoo, it gave me a really good workout."
Shizuru smiled as she slipped on her sweater, "I'm glad you did Botan."
Just then, Kotennyo walked out of one of the shower stalls fully clothed and joined her two friends and the grim reaper who were still getting dressed, "Do you think you would like to do it again?"
Botan put on her shirt, "Yes definitely. I think I'll bring my coworker Ayame next time. She's an excellent dancer and she'll pick it up really fast."
Jasmine slipped on her cream colored cardigan and stuffed her gym clothes into her bag. She then shifted her attention to the other three women after they were all fully clothed and slung her black and white handbag over her slender shoulder, "Ready to get out of here now?"
The other three women nodded and as they were leaving the gym, Botan summoned her wooden oar and hopped onto it sidesaddle and said, "Thanks so much for the fun time. Why don't we all hangout again? Let's say this weekend with a sleepover?"
Shizuru took out Sakyo's lighter and her pack of cigarettes, withdrew one, lit it and took a drag, "Sure, why don't we invite Keiko and Yukina too? I'm sure they would love to see you again Botan."
Botan nodded in agreement with her human friend, "Oh definitely." She then shifted her attention to Jasmine and Kotennyo, "Why don't the two of you join us? It would be fun to catch up with you Kotennyo and Jasmine, I really want to get know you more. You seem like a fun and cool person and I really want us to become friends."
Jasmine gave the lovely grim reaper a warm smile, "Yeah, I would like that. It's a shame that we don't hang out more because, I think you're fun and cool too Botan. The sleepover sounds like fun, count me in. What about you Kotennyo?"
The young goddess smiled, "Sure, I would love to. I haven't been to an all girls' sleepover since Spirit World Kindergarten."
Botan looked at her with a look of sympathy, "Oh, how come?"
Kotennyo sighed and then rolled her brown eyes, "Because, my so called friends from back then quit talking to me since graduation. The last time I seen them was when I was working at the Fallen Angel as a dancer and they didn't talk to me then either. But, that's all in the past now and I'm open to making new and better friends. My first real friend is Jasmine and she's the best friend any god, demon, human or whatever can want."
Jasmine felt tears well up in her large brown eyes at her goddess friend's words, "Thanks Kotennyo. You know you're the best friend and roommate that I can ever ask for."
Both girls then hugged each other and then parted seconds later and Shizuru then asked the other three women, "So, where do you guys want do our sleepover next weekend? I have plenty of room at my place and Kazuma is going to be hanging out with his three friends at Okubo's for a guys' only night."
Botan smiled adoring the idea, "Great, I'll meet you all there on Saturday, say at six?"
Jasmine and Kotennyo both nodded as did Shizuru and Jasmine said, "Sounds good, see you then Botan and have a safe trip back to Spirit World."
Botan gave the young demon hunter a smile and replied, "I will and you and Kotennyo have a good week at college. And Shizuru, you have a wonderful week at work and beauty school."
Shizuru smiled, "I will Botan."
They then waved goodbye as Botan flew up into the night sky and into a gateway to the Spirit World. After it sealed shut behind her, Jasmine and Kotennyo bid Shizuru a good night and agreed to meet her for lunch the following day and went their separate ways back to their residences. The week seemed to fly by with how busy everyone was. Koenma and the rest of the band worked on their gig's set list and rehearsed the songs in the order they were going to play them for their performance.
The college trio was hard at work with school and their jobs and spent their free time planning the combined gig and Jasmine's birthday celebration. Jasmine called up her mother Janine, who agreed to make a large three tiered chocolate cake along with her father William saying he will be making several homemade pizzas. As for Kotennyo, she got started on designing the posters and flyers for Exit Strategy's gig and decided to bring them to the sleepover so, the girls can pick out which ones they thought would be the coolest. The young goddess was also designing four masks, one for each member of the band.
She had Koenma, Koashura, Shunjun, and Jorge all pose in front of her so she can sketch their faces for designing the perfect mask for each of their faces. Kotennyo wanted to make them all unique for each member. She spent the entire week in her art class designing and making them. Soon Saturday rolled around and Jasmine and Kotennyo left the apartment for the Kuwabara residence.
They arrived a half an hour later and knocked on the door. They only waited for a couple of minutes until Shizuru answered. She smiled at her two friends, "Hey you're just in time, come right in."
Jasmine and Kotennyo walked inside the house and the older Kuwabara sibling shut the door behind them. They walked into the living room where Botan, Yukina, and another girl that neither Jasmine nor Kotennyo recognized either sitting on the floor or on a chair. She was a very beautiful girl with shoulder length brown hair that had grown out within the last year, big beautiful brown eyes and a lovely complexion.
Botan got up from the chair she was sitting on and ran up and gave both the goddess and the demon hunter a hug, "Jasmine, Kotennyo, I'm glad you two can make it. Yukina has already told me that she already met you two but, let me introduce you to someone. Jasmine, Kotennyo, this is Keiko Yukimura. Keiko, this is Jasmine and Kotennyo."
Keiko gave them both a warm and welcome smile, "Hello, it's pleasure to meet you both."
Jasmine and Kotennyo put their stuff on the couch and sat down on the floor across from Keiko. They both shook the ordinary human girl's hand and Jasmine smiled in return, "It's a pleasure to meet you too Keiko."
Keiko eyed the two young women curiously and asked them, "You two know Botan, Shizuru, and Yukina?"
Jasmine nodded, "Yeah. I met Shizuru six years ago when we were in high school. I didn't get to meet Yukina until last summer when she caught me and my boyfriend making out on Genkai's kitchen table and I met Botan last August at Kurama's going away party."
Seeing the somber look on Keiko's face, Jasmine began to feel that she may have said or did something wrong and she asked her, "Are you okay?"
Keiko nodded, "Yeah, never better." Not wanting to ruin everyone's fun time, she faked the best smile she could muster and said in a fake cheery tone, "So, who wants to play pool on the Kuwabara's new pool table?"
Kotennyo smiled, "Oh hell yeah. I kick ass at that game."
Shizuru shook her head and tried not laugh, "Pfft…yeah right. I'll mop the floor with you."
The goddess rolled her brown eyes, "Bring it on Miss Kuwabara!"
Shizuru chuckled at Kotennyo's competitiveness, "I will."
As they were following Shizuru to where the pool table was located, Yukina asked the other girls curiously, "What's pool? Are we going swimming?"
Botan giggled at the young ice demon's question and simply replied, "It's not that kind of pool. This kind of pool is a game where you hit balls on a felt table with long sticks and you have to get the balls into the pockets on the edge of the table."
A few minutes later, the game of pool commenced and Jasmine could still see that Keiko looked downright somber and depressed. Wanting to talk to her to find out what was wrong; she sat down right next to her. The young demon hunter then asked the ordinary human, "I know you said you are okay but, you don't seem that you are. Did I do or say something to make you feel uncomfortable?"
Keiko shook her head, "No you didn't do anything wrong. I…just miss someone."
Jasmine stared at her and blinked, "Oh who?"
Keiko just shrugged her slender shoulders and let out a loud sigh and replied, "My childhood friend who is also kind of my boyfriend. He went away almost a year ago and I really wish I got to see him off instead of staying home being kind of angry at him."
Jasmine set her pool stick off to the side and asked her, "Where did he go off to?"
The ordinary human girl sighed and looked at her hands that were folded over her lap and replied, "You're going to think I'm crazy for saying this but, he was sent off to Demon World to meet his demon ancestor. When he told me he is one, I didn't understand at first but, after a little bit, I realized that it explained a lot about him. Even though I have started high school at a really excellent girls' high school, he still crosses my mind and I can't help but wonder if he's doing alright."
Jasmine sat there with her mouth gaping open listening to Keiko talk. After Keiko was finished she then asked her, "Are you talking about Yusuke Urameshi by any chance?"
Keiko looked back up at Jasmine with wide eyes, "Yeah. Do you know Yusuke?"
The curly haired psychic chuckled and shook her head, "No, not really. I only met him once. Kotennyo and I bumped into him at the diner when he was hanging out with my boyfriend. Kotennyo and I only let him have dinner with us because, Koenma was with him. He seemed kind of nice yet, very sad. I remember how he told us about his predicament and it just sucked to see him go through that really tough time."
Keiko gave her a weak smile and deciding to change the subject and took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for being such a downer, you came here to have some fun and make a new friend or two. I wasn't trying to ruin everyone's nice time."
Jasmine smiled and put her hand on Keiko's shoulder and said in a friendly and comforting voice, "Hey, it's okay. Keiko, if you are ever in the mood to talk, I'll listen and hell, so would Kotennyo."
Keiko felt touched by the Alaskan psychic's kindness and compassion. She took another deep breath and gave a cheerier smile, "Thank you Jasmine."
Still giving a friendly smile she replied taking her hand off Keiko's slender shoulder, "No problem. Do you still want to play pool or do you want to do something else?"
The ordinary human shrugged her shoulders, "Sure." The game of pool went on for another twenty minutes or so until they all got sick of it due to Kotennyo kicking everyone's asses at it. All of the girls now sat in the living room watching "Friends" on TV and talking. Shizuru ordered a couple of pizzas and they arrived twenty minutes later.
As they were eating their conversation turned to the mention of Exit Strategy's first gig with Keiko catching a glimpse of the multicolored flyers that Kotennyo made at school during the week.
"Kotennyo, I hope you don't mind if I ask this but, what are those?"
The young goddess walked over to the stack of colorful papers and walked back over to the group and sat back down next to Keiko. "I'm glad you asked. These are flyers for an upcoming concert at Mushiori University that's going to be next Saturday. It's also going to be a birthday celebration for Jasmine. There's going to be cake, drinks, and tons of food."
Kotennyo took the red colored flyer that had bubble writing done up in silver ink to Keiko. The ordinary high school girl read it, "Exit Strategy? I never heard of them? Are they good?"
Jasmine, Kotennyo and Shizuru all smiled and Kotennyo then said with enthusiasm, "Oh hell yeah. They are the best unknown local band around. It's going to be their first real gig so, starting tomorrow morning, we are all going to post these babies around town to advertise it. You can come if you want and if you would like, you're more than welcome to help us post these. Also, you can invite as many people as you want."
Keiko looked up from the red flyer and shifted her attention to Kotennyo, "Yeah, I would love to come. I would also love to help. My family has a bulletin board in their restaurant and my parents don't care what's posted on it."
Jasmine smiled, "Thank you Keiko, that's really sweet of you."
Keiko smiled, "It's no problem at all. I'm more than happy to. Oh, I go to ask, is there anyone we know in this band?"
Jasmine and Kotennyo both started to giggle and the young demon hunter nodded, "Yeah, my boyfriend Koenma is the lead singer."
The ordinary human then blinked. The name Koenma rang a couple of bells in her head and she then asked Shizuru, "Shizuru, do you know someone by that name? I thought Yusuke did. I have been hearing them say it since they got here."
Shizuru nodded, "Yes we do. He's Yusuke's old spirit detective boss."
"Oh yeah, now I remember."
All of the girls laughed and they continued their conversation about the upcoming concert at Mushiori University. Even though Keiko was still down about what she said to Yusuke when he left, she chose to push that thought to the side and continued to enjoy the sleepover. Jasmine and Kotennyo had a good time with Botan, Shizuru, Keiko, and Yukina talking about men, school, and life in general. They also stayed up late doing each other's hair and nails and watching movies. They didn't go to bed until around 2AM.
The next day at noon, the girls all met up with Koenma, Genkai, and the guys at Genkai's compound. They all decided to split off into two groups to post flyers all around the city. Group one had Jasmine, Koenma, Kotennyo, Koashura, Keiko, and Genkai who would cover the east side of the city while group two had Jorge, Shizuru, Yukina, Kuwabara, Shunjun, and Botan who were to cover the west side. They all agreed to meet in the Mushiori City town square when they were finished.
With group one, they started on the outskirts of town and they were currently walking down Keiko's street. The beautiful young woman led the way to her parents' restaurant. Entering the Yukimura's Restaurant, they were pleasantly greeted by Keiko's parents.
Mr. Yukimura looked up from what he was doing, "Hello, welcome to the Yukimura…Keiko, how was your sleepover?"
Keiko gave her dad a bright smile, "Great, it was fun and I made a couple of new friends. Mom, Dad, this is Jasmine and Kotennyo."
Mrs. Yukimura served the customer at the counter their meal and gave them a bright smile, "Nice to meet you two. Do you young ladies go to Keiko's school?"
Jasmine giggled and shook her head, "No." She then took out a light green flyer with black bubble writing on it and handed it to the ordinary human woman, "I'm actually a medical student at Mushiori University along with my friend Kotennyo is a an art student and her boyfriend Koashura, who's a music education major; we along with my boyfriend Koenma and Madam Genkai are here to post a flyer for an upcoming concert at the university."
The young psychic handed the green flyer to Mr. Yukimura who read it, "Exit Strategy? Keiko are you going to this?"
Keiko nodded, "Yeah dad. Why, do you not want me to?"
Mr. Yukimura posted it on his bulletin board and chuckled, "No, of course you can go. You really need to take a break from your studies for at least one night. Go out Keiko. Have fun and socialize." He shifted his attention to Jasmine and Koenma and asked, "Is their going to be alcohol at this thing?"
Koenma nodded and decided to be honest with him, "Yes but, everyone is going to have special wristbands handed to them when they walk in the door. Those wristbands will determine if that individual is legal to drink."
"How are they going to do that?"
Koenma smiled, "They are going to be color coded. If someone is at or above the legal drinking age, they will be handed a green wristband when they present their ID. If they flash their ID and they are below it, then they will be handed a red wristband."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura smiled liking what they heard and Mr. Yukimura responded, "That sounds like a very effective method. It's good to know that the adults in charge know what they are doing."
Mrs. Yukimura nodded in agreement, "Oh yes. Also, thank you guys for taking our Keiko under your wing. She really needs it since her best friend went off to military school almost a year ago."
Koenma and Jasmine looked at Keiko who gave them the "Please don't say anything, they won't understand" look on her lovely face. The prince and the demon hunter nodded in a promise to keep their mouths shut about where Yusuke really went.
Mr. Yukimura began to chop up some beef with his butcher knife, "I still think he didn't need to go. Yusuke may have had a hard life but, he was still a good boy. I can't imagine what poor Atsuko must be going through."
Koenma scratched the back of his head and agreed with the ordinary human, "Yeah, I totally agree with you. I also knew Yusuke. He was a…good friend of mine. We used to work together."
Mrs. Yukimura began to cut her vegetables, "Was it that detective agency internship?"
The prince decided to play along with that old cover story and nodded, "Yes. We were both interns and went on some cases together. Good times."
Looking at the clock on the wall Keiko then interjected, "Well, we better get going if we are going to cover our part of the city. Mom, Dad, thank you for posting that."
Mr. Yukimura smiled and replied as he put his chopped up beef into a bowl, "It's no problem sweetheart. While are you at this concert, make sure to check out what that college has to offer. It's never too early to be thinking about your future."
Keiko sighed as she walked out the door with the other five members of the group, "I will dad."
The group of six then left the restaurant and as they were walking down the street Keiko said to the other five, "Sorry about that. They have been hounding me since I just started my freshman year in August. They think that if I don't start looking at colleges now, that I never will."
Jasmine chuckled, "Hey it's alright. My parents did the same thing to me when I started my freshman year at Meiou High School. How about before the concert/birthday party, why don't me and Kotennyo show you around and also tell you about the academic opportunities at MU? Koashura is going to be too busy with the band, he's the guitarist. What do you want to major in?"
Keiko gave the Alaskan psychic a smile, "I want to major in Elementary Education. MU isn't the only school I want to check out. I also wanted to see what Sarayashiki University had to offer."
Jasmine brightly smiled, "My sister goes there. She too is an Elementary Education major. Caroline is currently in her final year of graduate school pursuing her master's. If you would like, I can give her a call and she can hook you up?"
Keiko's brown eyes began to sparkle, "I would like that. My parents are going to be so proud when they found out that I'm going to have connections to two colleges. Thank you Jasmine and you too Kotennyo."
Both the demon hunter and the goddess both smiled and nodded. They continued walking and posting flyers at some of the local businesses until they reached Mushiori City after taking a short bus ride. They then walked onto the Sarayashiki University's campus. Koashura, Kotennyo and Genkai split off from Koenma, Jasmine and Keiko to cover all the parts of the campus at a faster rate.
As they were posting flyers on their part of the campus, Jasmine couldn't help but show Keiko some of the sites even though she wasn't familiar with this university. She showed her some places where the dorms, the bookstore, and even the coffee shop. The last place they were going to post flyers was on SU's Greek Row. Jasmine had been there a few times with her sister when she was still deciding on a college herself.
"Just ahead of us is my sister's sorority, Sigma Delta Kappa. I have only been there a couple times. Do you want to check it out?"
Keiko nodded, "Sure."
She, Koenma, and Jasmine walked up to the medium sized white colored color house with a snow covered brown roof with the wooden Greek symbols of Sigma Delta Kappa painted in bright green on the front of the house. Koenma knocked on the front door and he and the two girls heard some footsteps inside. The door then opened to reveal a beautiful young blond haired woman with bright blue eyes that Keiko didn't recognize but, judging her facial features, she could tell that she and Jasmine were siblings or somehow related.
Caroline Black brightly smiled seeing her sister and the guy who could possibly become her brother-in-law standing in front of with a lovely young woman she didn't recognize, "Jasmine, Koenma, what a pleasant surprise. Come in, it's very chilly out there."
Jasmine, Koenma, and Keiko gladly walked in and Caroline shut the door behind her. The blond psychic smiled and asked, "What brings you guys here? Oh, who is this, a future pledge perhaps?"
Jasmine chuckled, "No. Carol, this is my new friend Keiko Yukimura. She's a freshman at the Dai-ichi's School for Girls and she's currently checking out colleges and this is one of the schools on her list."
Caroline took Keiko's hand and the two girls shook each other's hand, "I'm very pleased to meet you Keiko." The two girls let go of each other's hands, "So, what are you looking to major in?"
Keiko gave her a sweet smile, "Elementary education."
The blond haired demon hunter brightly smiled, "Oh that's great! So am I. Why don't we set something up in February and how about you and I and maybe Jasmine show you around?"
Keiko smiled and nodded, "I would like that."
Not meaning to interrupt the girls, Koenma decided to interject, "I don't mean to butt in," the prince took out a bubblegum pink flyer with multicolored bubble writing on it and handed it to Caroline.
Caroline read it, "Exit Strategy?"
Koenma nodded, "Yeah, it's my band and we are having a gig that night at MU and it's also going to be Jasmine's birthday bash. So, you and the entire family are invited. Hell, you can invite anyone you want."
The blond psychic put the flyer down and smiled, "Great, I'll post this on our bulletin board so the rest of the girls can see it."
Koenma then reached into his pocket and took out his pocket watch, "Well, we better get going if we are going to get this done. Well, see you at the concert/birthday party?"
Caroline smiled and replied, "I'll be there and so will Niles and my sorority sisters. Oh, and Keiko," she took out a pen pad and a pen and wrote her phone number and gave the paper to Keiko, "Call me and we can schedule your visit."
Keiko nodded, "I'll do that."
Jasmine, Koenma, and Keiko bid Caroline goodbye and left the sorority house. After going to each sorority and fraternity house on Greek Row, Koenma then asked his human lover, "Jasmine can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"I thought Carol lives with her fiancé Raito. How come she was at her sorority?"
Jasmine cutely chuckled at her boyfriend's curiosity, "She does live with Raito. Caroline is the current president yes, but, you don't have to live in the house if you don't want to. She goes over there a few times a week to help out or just to hang out with the girls."
She then held out her hand to her royal lover and he gladly took it. After finishing up SU's Greek Row and the other part of the campus, Koenma, Jasmine and Keiko met back up with Genkai, Koashura, and Kotennyo and they all left SU's campus. Throughout the rest of the afternoon, the two groups successfully put up every one of their flyers all around Mushiori City and as promised they met up in the town square in the center of town.
The next week seem to fly by with everyone being busy with their obligations. Koenma and the band continued to rehearse their set list and even added one Alice in Chains song for them to cover that will kick off the start of their performance. As for Jasmine, Koashura, and Kotennyo, they kept busy with their jobs and their studies. Kotennyo put the finishing touches on the bands' masks and got them ready by putting them in gift boxes she also designed and made along with Jasmine's birthday gift.
After informing Professor Miraki about the plans for the gig that included it being Jasmine's birthday celebration, the ordinary human college professor lended his support and helped them set up MU's concert hall for not only the band but, for the birthday party too. Jasmine's parents, William and Janine Black made the cake and the homemade pizzas and brought them over to the school the morning of the gig/birthday party.
When Saturday morning rolled around, Jasmine and Kotennyo woke up early and swung by the Yukimura Restaurant for breakfast and to pick up Keiko for her visit to the Mushiori University campus. Keiko was very excited about learning about the kind of academic opportunities that MU offered. The three young women walked around the university campus with Jasmine and Kotennyo giving Keiko a tour looking at the bookstore, library, dorms, MU's Greek Row, many of the academic program offices, cafeteria, etc.
Two hours later, the two college girls and their high school student who might become a future MU student wrapped up the tour and they were now in the education majors/childcare majors building. Keiko looked through the pamphlets brightly smiling, "Wow, this is great. They even have a daycare center here. I was thinking about working at one when I start my freshman year of college."
Jasmine smiled happy to see her new friend's excitement, "Also check out which kinds of degrees are offered too."
Keiko looked back down at her pamphlet and her beautiful brown eyes widened, "Oh my god, I can go for my master's here?"
Kotennyo nodded, "Yep, this place even offers doctorate's for the medical and science professions, seeing as Jasmine is a med student here."
The ordinary human finished reading the pamphlet, closed it and put it into her purse, "Wow, this school is definitely on the top of my list. Jasmine, Kotennyo, thank you so much for this."
Both the curly haired psychic and the goddess smiled and Jasmine replied, "You're very welcome Keiko. If you have any more questions or need anything at all don't be afraid to hit me, Kotennyo, and even my sister up." She then decided to ask her, "So, have you set something up with Caroline yet?"
Keiko nodded, "I sure did. I called her up last night and we are going to do something the day before Valentine's Day. She said that you're welcome to join us if you want."
Jasmine gave her new friend a bright smile, "Sure, I would love to."
Later on that evening, Koenma, Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun were backstage setting up for their performance. Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun set up their instruments while Koenma warmed up his voice practicing his scales while Jorge strummed notes on his bass being that there wasn't a piano available.
The prince ended his practice and Jorge gave his boss a bright smile after he pulled down the bandana that covered his blue face, "That was wonderful Koenma sir. You are going to blow everyone away."
Koenma took a sip from his water bottle and then replied, "Thank you Ogre. I am kind of nervous. Shunjun, Koashura, how big is the crowd out there?"
The blue haired SDF soldier and the redheaded god took a peek behind the curtain and then shifted their attention back to their band's lead singer. Koashura then said, "There's probably at least thirty to forty people out there but, there's still a whole bunch coming in."
Seeing the prince's nervousness, Shunjun and Koashura rushed over to him and Jorge. The other three members of the band began to feel some concern for him and Jorge asked, "Sir, are you okay?"
Koenma sat there, held his water bottle and nodded, "Yeah, I think so."
Koashura put his hand on his childhood friend's broad shoulder, "Hey, it's going to be okay. You're not going to fuck this up. Trust me. You performed in front of bigger crowds before. Remember?"
Koenma nodded still feeling nervous and Shunjun then decided to give some words of encouragement, "Koenma, you have us to back you up. Even if you do screw this up, we can cover for you."
Just then Kotennyo walked backstage carrying four gift boxes with a green wristband around her thin wrist and all four men shifted their attention to her. Koenma then looked up at her from sitting on one of the amps and asked, "Kotennyo what are you doing here?"
The young goddess knelt down beside the band and replied, "I have something for each of you." She then handed each member of the band one gift box, "Now, I got to thinking about how you guys are going to conceal your identities besides performing with fake names. Inside each of those boxes are projects that I have been working on and it'll reveal the reason why I had each of you posed for me while sketched your faces."
Koenma then opened up his gift box to find a black mask with ornate white patterns on it that made it look like a Mardi Gras mask. He looked up at his ex-girlfriend speechless for a minute and then found his voice, "Wow, thanks Kotennyo. You really did a good job on this."
Kotennyo smiled, "Thanks. Not only it will it cover up you face but, it will hide your Jr. mark and you'll be Korrie Loveless and nobody will know that you're really Koenma, Prince of the Spirit World."
Jorge opened up his gift box to find a white mask that look similar to Koenma's while Koashura had a blue one and Shunjun with a red one. The redhead gave Kotennyo a sweet kiss and once they parted he said as he nuzzled his nose against hers, "Thanks dearest, it's beautiful. Now I'll be Kyle Marsh."
Kotennyo smiled and gave Koashura an Eskimo kiss, "That's the whole idea babe."
They kissed each other again and the other members of the band rolled their eyes at the godly couple. Koenma then shook his head and said, "Get a room."
Meanwhile at the entrance of the concert hall, Exit Strategy's band manager Genkai and Jasmine's parents Janine and William Black acted as the bouncers checking everyone's IDs and giving them all either green or red wristbands. The next two people in line that approached were Botan and Ayame wearing human clothes and handed Genkai the fake IDs from Spirit World that said that they were 25 year old human women instead of their actual ages. They were better than normal Human World fake IDs being that they looked more realistic.
Genkai then smiled and even though she knew them, she decided to humor both the beautiful grim reapers giving them both green wristbands that enabled them both to drink and their fake IDs back, "Here you are ladies enjoy the show."
Botan chuckled and then winked, "Thanks Genkai. So, where's Jasmine and Kotennyo?"
Janine then replied after handing red wristbands to a group of high school students, "She's already inside with Kotennyo, her siblings, and her new friend Keiko." Sensing both grim reapers auras, she then asked, "Are you a friend of my daughter's too?"
Botan nodded, "Yes ma'am, I am. Nice to meet you…"
"Janine Black, Jasmine's mother and this is my husband and Jasmine's father William."
Botan shook both of their hands and introduced herself and her grim reaper coworker, "I'm Botan and this is my coworker and friend Ayame."
Ayame politely bowed and said, "Nice to meet you both."
Both grim reapers looked behind them when they heard a group of high school boys complain that they were holding up the line. The blue haired reaper giggled and said, "I would love to chat more but, I better not hold up the line."
Janine smiled, "That's alright. You two have fun and eat all the pizza and cake you want when we bring them out."
Botan and Ayame both smiled and bid Janine, Genkai, and William a goodnight and went inside the concert hall. The next in line to approach the three bouncers were Shizuru, Kuwabara, and Yukina. After each of them with the exception of Yukina presenting their IDs, Shizuru was handed a green wristband while Kuwabara got a red one. Yukina also got a red one when she lied to William about being a sixteen year old human high school girl despite his psychic wife sensing her demon energy.
Yukina didn't want Kuwabara to feel bad about having a red wristband and the young redheaded psychic then knelt down and gave the lovely ice maiden a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you my love. You didn't have to do that."
Yukina smiled and stood on her tip toes and gave Kuwabara a soft kiss on his cheek and replied giving a sweet smile, "It was no problem Kazuma. I didn't want you to feel bad about getting a different color wristband than Shizuru. Besides, these red ones are prettier."
Kuwabara brightly smiled and held his arm out to her and Yukina gladly linked her arm with his. They and Shizuru walked inside and met up with Botan and Ayame. Meanwhile backstage, the four members of the band then huddled and despite being nervous, Koenma felt like he was ready for this. He wanted everyone to hear Exit Strategy's new music.
The prince looked at the black mask in his hands. He then formed a sly smile on his handsome face and realized that he was about to become someone else. Koenma smiled and thought to himself, "For once, I'm not going to be Koenma. I'm going to be Korrie Loveless and it's going help me feel more confident when I sing. No one but, the exception of close friends are going to know. This is so exciting."
Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun all put on their masks and Jorge put his hat back on to cover up his horn while still wearing his brown trench coat. The blue ogre looked at his boss and asked, "Are you ready sir?"
Koenma looked up at his ogre servant and friend and nodded, "Yeah Ogre. I have never felt so ready for anything in my entire life. Well, not since the band competition and making love to Jasmine for the first time."
Hearing what Koenma just said, Jorge's jaw dropped. He wanted so badly to say something to him but, decided to save it for after the gig. Jorge closed his mouth and picked up his royal blue bass and slung the shoulder sling over his clothed big blue shoulder. Seeing Jorge's reaction, Koenma snickered.
He shifted his attention back to his black mask and smiled once again and said, "Here it goes."
The young prince then brought it up to his handsome face and slowly put it on becoming Korrie Loveless, the cool, sexy, and confident lead singer of the upcoming alternative rock band, Exit Strategy. Jorge, Shunjun, and Koashura all looked Koenma and their jaws dropped. The mask covered up half of Koenma's face perfectly. It went from his forehead, covering up the "Jr." mark with the middle going to the bridge of his nose and the sides all the way down to his cheekbones.
Koashura was the first to say something, "Wow, you look pretty cool."
Jorge brought up a mirror and showed his boss. Koenma took the mirror and seeing his relection, he smiled. In fact, he did look pretty cool. He handed the mirror back to Jorge and replied to what Koashura just said, "Thanks "Kyle"."
Koashura laughed at Koenma using his stage name while he picked up his cherry red guitar and slung the shoulder sling over his shoulder and said, "No problem "Korrie"."
Once everyone who was going to see the show/attend the birthday celebration were inside, Genkai ran backstage and met up with band. She then asked, "Wow cool masks. Where did you guys get those?"
Koenma then smiled, "Kotennyo made them and we are going to wear them whenever we perform."
The small elderly psychic smiled and gave the thumbs up, "I like it. So, are you guys ready?"
Koenma nodded, "Yes Genkai."
Genkai then gave her longtime friend another smile and walked out onstage after the band that opened the night was finished. The small elderly psychic brought the microphone up her lips and spoke when the applause and cheers died down, "That was Rockslide Danger ladies and gentlemen. Our next, final, and main attraction for this evening is a brand new upcoming local band. My name is Genkai and I am this band's manager and I present to you all, Exit Strategy. Please meet Mr. Sammie Doomass, the drummer, Mr. John Smith, the bassist and music composer, Mr. Kyle Marsh, the guitarist, and last but not least, Mr. Korrie Loveless, the lead singer and songwriter. Give it up for Exit Strategy!"
Genkai then walked offstage and handed the microphone to Koenma. The curtain then rose as the crowd then gave a round of applause with a few cheers and whistles. Koenma brought the microphone up his mouth and spoke, "Hello Mushiori University, are you ladies and gents ready to rock?!"
The prince brought the microphone to face the crowd and only a few people like Jasmine, Kotennyo, Kuwabara, Shizuru, Botan, Keiko, Niles, Caroline, and Ayame said, "Yes!"
Koenma brought the microphone back to his mouth and said, "I'm sorry I can't hear you guys. Are you ready to rock?!"
He brought the microphone to face the crowd again and this time most of the people out there said, "Yeah!"
The young god brought the microphone back up to his mouth and introduced the first song, "Thank you much better. Our first song to kick things off is "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains."
He then signaled to Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun to start off the song's instrumental riff. The three accompanists did and while they played the riff to "Man in the Box", Koenma then removed the jacket of his black suit and threw to the left side of the stage's entrance. Genkai caught the jacket and gave him the thumbs up. The prince then unbuttoned the collar of his red button up shirt and brought the microphone up to lips and sang out the first verse as his beautiful enchanting voice filled the four corners of the concert hall:
I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me
Save me
Jorge, Koashura, and Shunjun then played the next part of the instrumental riff and Koenma broke out in the first chorus while Jorge sang the background vocals into his microphone:
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Can you sew them shut?
Koenma: Jesus Christ
Jorge: Deny your maker
Koenma: He who tries
Jorge: Will be wasted
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Now you've sewn them shut
Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun then went into the next part of the riff. The crowd then began to feel the effects of the magical properties of Koenma's voice, feeling the warm happiness it brought as they danced along to the music. The young prince then sang the next verse:
I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me
Save me
Botan, Shizuru, and Ayame then approached Kotennyo and Jasmine leaving Kuwabara to dance with Yukina. The blue haired grim reaper tapped the Alaskan psychic's slender shoulder and Jasmine turned around and smiled, "Hi Botan. Hi Shizuru."
Both Botan and Shizuru greeted her with a hug and the slightly older psychic then said, "Happy Birthday! You're 21 now!"
Jasmine smiled, "Thanks Shizuru. Oh Botan, who's this?"
Botan smiled, "Jasmine, this is my friend and coworker Ayame. Ayame this is my friend Jasmine."
Jasmine smiled at the dark haired grim reaper, "Nice to meet you Ayame."
Ayame politely bowed, "Nice to meet you too Jasmine."
They continued to talk while dancing as Koenma with Jorge doing the background vocals went into the second chorus:
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Can you sew them shut?
Koenma: Jesus Christ
Jorge: Deny your maker
Koenma: He who tries
Jorge: Will be wasted
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Now you've sewn them shut
Koashura then went broke into his guitar solo and began to head bang to it. Luckily, his blue mask didn't fall off his handsome face being that Kotennyo made each and everyone one of them strong enough to withstand and motions and movements each member of the band made onstage. Once the redheaded god ended his guitar solo, Koenma and Jorge once again broke into the next chorus which was the last one:
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Can you sew them shut?
Koenma: Jesus Christ
Jorge: Deny your maker
Koenma: He who tries
Jorge: Will be wasted
Koenma: Feed my eyes
Jorge: Now you've sewn them shut
Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun then finished off the song's riff and the crowd then broke out into an applause and loud cheers and hollering could be heard. After they died down, Koenma brought the microphone back up to his mouth and asked, "Did you guys enjoy that?"
The crowd the all shouted, "Yeah!" Then one of the ordinary high school human students then shouted, "Play us another!"
Koenma then chuckled at the human teenager and replied, "I'm glad you said that because, we are going to. The rest of the songs for tonight are going to be all original songs written and created by us. Our first one is a brand new one called "Tyrant of Crazy Town". I hope you all like it."
He then signaled the three accompanists to start their instrumental riff and Shunjun started it off with his drumbeat with Koashura strumming his guitar and Jorge following suit with his bass riff. They continued to play for a minute until it grew more and intense and Koenma brought the microphone back up to his mouth and his enchanting voice once again filled the concert hall as he sang the first verse:
The people of Crazy Town are living in fear
It seems like they can't do anything without pissing off their so called leader
Whatever they say or do that's against him, the old fool will do whatever he can to keep his pristine reputation
Even if he has kill all who oppose them
The crowd began to bob their heads to the music and Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun then when into the key change of their riff and Koenma sang out the first chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
The key then switched back to its original key and Koenma when into the second verse with the crowd beginning to dance to the music feeling the warm happiness of the prince's magical voice properties:
Strange things have been happening in Crazy Town, no one knows how it's happening
The people are too afraid to say something with the fear of their tyrannical leader finding out
It is said that he's the one who is the cause of it but, no one has any proof
Those who usually oppose that man, are always silenced even if they tell the truth
The song's key once again changed and Koenma went into the second chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
Koenma quit singing as Koashura broke into the guitar solo and started to head bang again. The prince rolled his brown eyes getting annoyed by his friend and decided that it wasn't worth arguing with him over it and just decided to let the redheaded god have his fun. When Koashura's guitar solo ended, Koenma then sang the bridge of the song:
Some have been thrown into prison
Others were senselessly murdered
It is very rare if any of them were really guilty
As Jasmine continued to dance with her friends, her sister Caroline and her brother Niles found her and approached their younger sister. Caroline then shouted, "Hey Sis!"
Hearing her sister's voice, Jasmine turned around and greeted her siblings, "Niles, Caroline, you guys made it."
She hugged them both and Niles said, "I wouldn't miss this for the world. So, has anyone else noticed that Koenma's voice has some eerie property to it?"
Jasmine, Shizuru, Keiko, and the two grim reapers just stared at the blond man. Keiko then asked the tall demon hunter, "You can sense it?"
Niles nodded, "Yep, so can Caroline and Jasmine. I didn't mean to alarm anyone. I was just pointing it out. I meant eerie in a good way. Like as if anything bad can't happen to us. Koenma has a really good voice."
Jasmine then giggled like a schoolgirl and sighed dreamily, "I know. I love it when he sings. When Koenma does, it's just so wonderful."
Back onstage, the instrumental riff then went back to its original state when Koenma broke into the final verse:
Crazy Town is quickly going to Hell and there's just nothing their citizens can do about it
Their friends and loved ones have started to go missing and most cannot figure out why
The ones that do, are made to suffer
All because their leader is one sick fucker!
The key changed one last time and the young prince sang the last chorus:
This man loves to destroy innocent lives
He lies, he cheats, he steals
He doesn't care who will suffer in the end
As long as he gets whatever he wants
The Tyrant of Crazy Town is a true bastard
He's a life ruiner and probably a murderer
Just leave Crazy Town; you'll be a lot safer if you do
Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun finished off their instrumental riff and the crowd once again broke out into an applause with loud cheers and hollering. When it finally died down again, Koenma brought up the microphone back up to his mouth and said, "Did you guys enjoy that?"
The crowd then shouted, "Yeah!" Koenma then smiled and said, "Great. Before we do our next song, I have a special announcement that I would like to make. This event is not only our first gig but, it's also a big birthday bash for a very special lady. She's a medical student at this university and she's also the love of my life. Jasmine Elizabeth Black, can you come up here please?"
Genkai then turned the spotlight on her and the young curly haired psychic blushed a deep red when the crowd then began to whistle and make catcalls at her. Jasmine walked up to the stage and the spotlight was back on Koenma. The prince gave her a sexy smile and said to her, "How about a kiss birthday girl?"
Jasmine gave him a sweet smile, "Sure thing my prince." Koenma then gently tilted her face up to meet his and then gave her a deep and passionate kiss making the crowd give loud whistles, catcalls, and oo's and awe's. Once the lovers parted, Koenma then asked her, "How old are you today Jasmine?"
He brought the microphone to her lips and Jasmine spoke, "I'm 21 today Korrie."
Koenma spoke into the microphone again, "Happy 21st Birthday my queen."
Jasmine giggled at her pet name and Koenma cued Janine and William who stood at the left stage entrance with her cake sitting on a food cart and the middle aged couple wheeled out the large three tiered chocolate cake onstage. Koenma then cued Jorge, Shunjun, and Koashura to play a rock riff of the "Happy Birthday" song for her.
The young prince then signaled the crowd to join in if they wanted to and he and they began to sing the "Happy Birthday" song for her. After the short song ended, Jasmine blew out her candles and everyone cheered. Jasmine stood on her tip toes and gave Koenma a deep and passionate kiss. They then parted seconds later and before Jasmine could follow her parents offstage as they walked off rolling her cake away, Koenma gently took her hand and said to her in a soft voice, "Don't go yet. I did promise I was going to sing you a song."
Jasmine then cutely chuckled and said, "My prince, you already did."
Koenma kissed her hand and flashed another sexy smile, "Yes but, I wanted to sing you another one that just wasn't a small melody."
The young demon hunter smiled and it dawned on her what he was going to sing to her. Jasmine then decided to stay onstage with him and Koenma brought the microphone back up to his mouth and spoke once again, "Ladies and gentleman, the next song is dedicated to the birthday girl herself. It's called "Queen of My Heart"."
Koashura, Jorge, and Shunjun then started the instrument riff of the song and once again, Koenma's beautifully enchanting voice rang out when he sang out the first verse of the romantic song that's about the kind and beautiful demon hunter. Koenma held and even kissed Jasmine's hand several times throughout the whole song and once it ended, they share another hot and passionate kiss.
When they finally parted after a couple of minutes, Jasmine then walked offstage and rejoined her friends and her siblings below. The rest of the gig/birthday celebration went off without a hitch and Koenma and the rest of the band share several of their brand new songs such as "Love You All Night", "Forever Yours", the finally finished "Just Plain Evil" and "No Friend of Mine" and a few others.
The party guests and even the band when they took a break, enjoyed their chocolate cake, homemade pizza, and drinks, alcoholic and nonalcoholic. When the party/gig ended, most of the party guests left wishing Jasmine a happy birthday and talking about how awesome Exit Strategy's performance was. William, Janine, Genkai, Niles, Shizuru, and Caroline helped clean up the concert hall while Jasmine and Koenma left to go back to her apartment after Jasmine was given her presents.
The prince and the young demon hunter made love to each other three times that night and the next morning, Jorge and Shunjun were getting ready to leave for Spirit World after spending the night at Genkai's compound. Koenma, Jasmine, Koashura, and Kotennyo all woke up early and made it to the compound on time. After eating their breakfast, it dawned on Jasmine that Koenma needed to go back to Spirit World.
As Shunjun opened up the gateway for him and Jorge, Jasmine asked the blue haired SDF soldier to hold it open for a few more minutes. Not bothering to ask the young psychic why, he did just that. Jasmine then pulled Koenma off to the side and the prince asked her, "Jasmine what's going on, why did you ask Shunjun to keep the gateway open?"
Not wanting Koenma to go but, realizing that he should, Jasmine took a deep breath and finally came out and said it, "Koenma, I think you should go back with them. You and the band already had your first gig and a lot of people last night including Botan and Ayame have heard the songs you wrote about your dad and Spirit World. Even though I want you to stay, I realized you should go back just so your father doesn't find out about what you have been up to during the months you've been hiding here."
Koenma took his human lover's small dainty hands in his own and softly kissed them. The lovers gently pressed their foreheads together and gazed into each other's brown eyes. Koenma realized that Jasmine was right and it tore him up inside thinking about leaving her, Koashura, Kotennyo, Genkai, and everyone else in the Human World.
He said as his voice started to shake, "Will you come and visit me? I promise I'll do whatever I can to come see you, Kotennyo, Koashura, Genkai, and all the rest of my friends here."
Jasmine felt a lump in her throat and tried to keep her tears at bay and nodded, "I will Koenma and you will too. I love you and please take care of yourself. I still have a bad feeling that more will come your way."
She and Koenma nuzzled their noses against each other's and the prince replied, "I love you too Jasmine, my queen. I will and know you, your wonderful family, and our friends will keep whatever is to come at bay."
They then shared a deep, passionate and loving kiss. Tears poured down Jasmine's freckled cheeks knowing that she was going to miss her prince. They then parted after a couple of minutes and she and Koenma let each other's hands go and the young prince then switched back to his toddler form.
The now currently pint sized prince walked up to Jorge and Shunjun and the blue ogre scooped up his boss in his arms. They walked up to the gateway and Jasmine said one more time, "I love you Koenma."
The both gave each other looks of longing and Koenma replied to her, "I love you too Jasmine."
Jorge carrying Koenma and Shunjun walked into the gateway and Koenma and Jasmine took one last longing look at each other as it sealed off behind them. During the walk back to the palace, and despite being back home, Koenma knew that this wasn't going to last. As a dark cloud is looming over the horizon and things will go from bad to worse.
