Chapter 14: Koashura's New Job

March first had finally come and today was the day that Koashura was to start his new job. He had already finished off his last two weeks at MU's coffee counter and his former boss and coworkers were so sad to see him leave. Koashura also felt the same way and he said that he would still see them at school which did put those ordinary humans at ease.

Jasmine, Kotennyo, and Koenma who had snuck out of Spirit World to hear his friend's first broadcast, were sitting in the living room at the college trio's apartment after Jasmine, Koashura, and Kotennyo had finished with their classes for the day. Jasmine and Kotennyo were both on their days off from work and they were overjoyed that they could use that day to listen to Koashura's first show.

Kotennyo looked at the cat clock on the wall and walked over to TV and knelt down to the VCR which had a blank tape in it. She pressed the record button and joined her best human friend and her ex back on the couch.

The young goddess gave Jasmine a warm smile, "Everything is all set on the VCR and I am taping TGIF so we won't miss it. We can watch it tomorrow morning when Koashura is home."

Jasmine smiled, "Thanks Kotennyo you're a really good friend and Koashura is so lucky to have an awesome girlfriend like you."

Koenma stared at the two lovely young women and asked curiously, "What's TGIF?"

The young human psychic giggled thinking her royal lover couldn't be any cuter right now and leaned over and kissed his cheek, "TGIF is a television programming block which shows every Friday night on ABC Japan which is Channel 9. It shows really awesome shows which you should totally watch because the vast majority of them are really good, like my personal favorite from that block, "Boy Meets World", Koashura's favorite, "Family Matters", Steve Urkle is hilarious, with the exception of Kotennyo's favorite, "Full House". That one is boring as tar and thank god it's in its last season and a few others that range from good to just okay."

Kotennyo rolled her brown eyes, "It's a really good show. I don't see what's so boring about it. Do I say that "Friends" and "Boy Meets World" are boring? No!"

Jasmine chuckled, "To be fair, you haven't because you like them too." She shifted her

attention to Koenma, "Would you like to spend the night so all four of us can watch them tomorrow morning. I swear, you're going to love "Boy Meets World"."

Koenma smiled behind his pacifier, "I would love to. I'm looking forward to getting hooked on another great show you like besides "Friends". Speaking of "Friends", isn't that also shown on Channel 9?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yep but, that's shown on Monday nights. It's a little too mature for TGIF. Also, in the US, it's shown on another channel there called NBC so, I don't know why ABC Japan picked it up along with "The X-Files" and "ER" to name a few. I guess because they're all really popular. A great thing about Channel 9, Channel 20 that's MTV and a few others is that I can switch the language settings on this TV to watch those kinds of channels either in English or Japanese with English subtitles. I just prefer to watch those in English while the local channels can only be viewed in Japanese and thank god this TV allows me to watch those with English subtitles. I would be missing out on some really goods shows without those."

She took a sip from her water and continued, "Before we watch our TGIF shows tomorrow morning, I was thinking of making us pancakes. Does that sound good?"

Koenma brightly smiled and nodded, "Yes my queen. That sounds amazing."

He then removed his pacifier and gave Jasmine a sweet kiss and the young psychic kissed him back with the same sweetness. They parted seconds later and Jasmine asked Kotennyo, "So, how long until Koashura's first broadcast?"

Kotennyo looked up at the cat clock on the wall, "We have another ten minutes and I'll crank the radio's volume back up."

The three friends continued on their conversation about the TGIF programming block discussing which shows Koenma would possibly like. About ten minutes later, Kotennyo looked up at the cat clock hanging on the wall and cranked up the radio's volume. She, Jasmine, and Koenma all quiet down so they could hear Koashura start his first broadcast.

The rock station's current host, an ordinary human that referred to himself as Huck then spoke, "Well folks that's it for me and now it's time for our newest host to make his premier. Ladies and gentleman please give a warm welcome to Kool Koashura."

Koashura's voice then spoke up, "Thanks for the intro Huck. I am so happy to be here. To start off, I have a couple of concert announcements I would like to make. First off the local band, Rockslide Danger is going to have one on the 15th at the Mushiori Event Stadium to promote their self titled debut album that will be on sale this coming summer so be on the lookout for that. Next up, the Bumble Bees will also have another concert which will be April 10th at the Mushiori Even Stadium."

The redhead paused to take a sip from his water and spoke into the microphone again, "After the music, stay tuned for after this hour's nonstop block of great music to find out how to win concert tickets to the upcoming Pearl Jam concert that's going to be held at the Mushiori Event Stadium on the 31st. Speaking of Pearl Jam, here's "Alive"."

Koashura then turned off his microphone as the song "Alive" began to play. Over the next hour, great rock music from many big bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beastie Boys, etc. played along with a few songs from lesser known bands also. Then the last song which was "Under the Bridge" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers played and after it ended, Koashura once again spoke.

"Hey ladies and gents, it's Kool Koashura again. Before the next commercial break, I'm here to announce that the caller within the next couple of hours will win two tickets to the Pearl Jam concert at the Mushiori Event Stadium on the 31st. More awesome music will commence after these messages."

He cut out again and the commercial break broke out. It only lasted for five minutes and the music began to play again. Kotennyo looked at the cat clock on the wall and she asked Jasmine and Koenma, "Are you guys hungry?"

The young prince nodded at his ex-girlfriend's question, "Yeah. What about you my queen?"

Jasmine felt her stomach rumble, "Oh definitely. I haven't had anything to eat since after my pharmacology class today and that was at two. What did you have in mind Kotennyo?"

The young goddess got up off her spot on the couch and stretched her long legs, "How does pasta with biscuits sound?"

Both Koenma and Jasmine liked the idea and the young psychic smiled, "Yeah that sounds great."

Kotennyo walked into the kitchen to go fix their dinner while Jasmine cranked up the volume a little louder so Kotennyo could hear Koashura again. About twenty minutes later, their pasta and biscuits were prepared. As the three friends began to eat their meal, Koashura came back on after the announcement of his show to promote local and unknown bands which is called "Kool Koashura's Hometown Heroes Show" was heard.

The redheaded god spoke into the microphone again and spoke about many of the local unknown bands talking about how he's going to play some songs from them for the next couple of hours. It went off without a hitch for the next hour.

Koashura then announced the next song, "This next one is probably something you folks may or may not have heard. But, if you did, you probably seen them play at Mushiori University last month on February 1st. Please give it up for the super awesome Exit Strategy and their sweet and romantic song "Queen of My Heart"."

Koenma was about to take a bite from his pasta but, hearing that announcement, he put his fork down. The song, his song, his band's song "Queen of My Heart" began to play. The prince just sat there hearing his voice with the complement of Koashura's, Jorge's and Shunjun's instrumental riff playing in the background.

Seeing her lover's blank expression, Jasmine then asked, "Koenma are you alright?"

The prince didn't know if he should be angry at his childhood friend or not. He found his voice and replied, "I don't know if I should be happy or kick Koashura's ass. I and the rest of the band didn't give him permission to do this."

Kotennyo sipped from her orange soda, "Koenma I think you should be happy. Didn't you say that you wanted more people to hear your music?"

Jasmine nodded in agreement to her goddess friend's words, "Yeah, I remember you said that the other day while I was helping you stamp your paperwork. Koenma please don't get mad at Koashura for doing this, he's just trying to promote the band. You know, the more promotion, the more people will hear you sing and hear your messages in your songs. Koenma, you know damn well it would be a waste to hide a rare talent like yours."

Koenma sat there stunned, Jasmine was right. It would be a shame to hide a beautiful voice and wonderful lyrics like his. Along with Jorge's wonderful musical compositions and the ogre's, Koashura's, and Shunjun's perfect instrumentation, he then smiled behind his pacifier and began to realize that Koashura was doing a good thing for the band with his new job.

"Queen of My Heart" ended and the next song came on. After that and a few more, suddenly Koashura then spoke talking to someone on the phone, "Yes this is MOON ROCK, you're on the air."

Jasmine and Koenma instantly recognized the voice of the caller to be none other than Koenma's first spirit detective herself, Kuroko Sanada, "Hello, I was just calling to say that song from the band Exit Strategy was amazing. It's a darn shame that I am stuck at the hospital with a broken leg because I would have danced with my husband to it. It was so romantic."

Koashura chuckled and replied, "I am glad you enjoyed it. I hope you don't mind if I ask but, what is your name ma'am?"

Kuroko laughed, "Oh how silly of me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kuroko and I am also wondering if you had other songs from Exit Strategy."

The redhead smiled and said, "As a matter of fact Kuroko, I do and I don't mind playing it. I'm so sorry to hear that you're in the hospital but, I know what will make you feel better about your situation right now."

Kuroko adjusted the blanket on her lap while holding onto the nurse's station's phone and asked, "What's that?"

Koashura then replied, "Well, you're the first caller within the last couple of hours and you just won a couple of tickets to the Pearl Jam concert at the Mushiori Event Stadium on the 31st."

The former spirit detective was speechless for a minute and then replied, "Oh awesome. My husband is going to be so happy when I tell him. Thank you so much."

"Hey it's no problem and for you and your husband, I'll play Exit Strategy's next song, it's called "Tyrant of Crazy Town". I hope you, your husband, and the rest my listeners like it."

Kuroko then thanked Koashura for his kind gestures and hung up. The redheaded god then turned off his microphone and began to play Exit Strategy's next song, "Tyrant of Crazy Town".

Koenma just sat there speechless again as his next song played. None of his spirit detectives have ever heard him sing before well except Yusuke ten months ago. Kuroko and Sensui never heard him. He remembered how close Sensui got to hearing him when Itsuki did.

The prince remembered how he begged the six handed demon not to say anything to Sensui and surprisingly, Itsuki did. Koenma shook his head at that memory and thought that Itsuki probably did spill the beans to Sensui after he lost his mind and after stealing the Chapter Black Tape.

Banishing that thought from his mind, Koenma then thought about Kuroko. He felt flattered that she enjoyed "Queen of My Heart" and he smiled thinking that she was currently enjoying "Tyrant of Crazy Town" too.

He then shifted his attention to Jasmine who was currently eating her pasta and gently tapped her on the shoulder. Jasmine washed down her noodles with her water and replied, "Yes? What's wrong?"

Koenma cutely scratched the back of his head and asked, "How is Kuroko going to get to the concert?"

Jasmine giggled at how cute she thought her boyfriend's curiosity was, "She can just sign out on the sign out sheet at the nurse's station and sign back in when she comes back. Kuroko had done that a few times since she's been there. In fact, she and her husband have been planning on going to that concert. I guess she has four tickets now so, she can probably bring her kids too."

The prince smiled hearing that. Four hours later, Koashura's first broadcast ended and the next host a woman that called herself Angelic Angel began her show. Koashura arrived at the apartment thirty minutes later and the four friends went to bed.

While Koenma and Jasmine were lying in the young psychic's bed cuddling, Koenma kissed his lover's forehead and asked her, "Do you want to make love tonight?"

Jasmine yawned and shook her head. Struggling to keep her eyes open, she replied in a sleepy voice, "No, not tonight. I'm too tired. What about you?"

Koenma too yawned being just as exhausted, "Me neither."

The lovers wound up falling asleep five minutes later. Two weeks later, Koashura had gotten his first reviews after his first two weeks on the air. His radio show had proven to be a big hit with people of all ages ranging from preteens, teens, young adults, middle aged and older adults. Whether his listeners were human, demon, god, or whatever, they really enjoyed the redheaded god's seemly fun and cool personality along with the music he played. Lest, the favorites amongst them were a lot of the songs from the unknown bands he played. Exit Strategy was one of them. Koashura's listeners also loved calling him to make requests and Koashura was more than happy to fulfill their wishes.

Kotennyo, Jasmine, Koenma, and the rest of their friends were all proud of Koashura and they were also happy to see how happy and satisfied the young redheaded god was with his job. Speaking of Koenma, after his childhood friend's first broadcast, he actually spoke to Koashura about playing their band's songs on his "Hometown Heroes" show.

Koashura was really concerned that the prince was pissed that he played them without talking to him or the rest of the band about it first. As it turned out, Koenma wasn't and they wound up recording more of their songs on the blank CDs that Koenma got on his birthday from Shunjun. Koashura played them on his show a lot and they proved to be a major hit with his listeners.

Later that same week on Wednesday, Jasmine arrived back at her apartment after finishing her classes for the day. She pushed the button at the gate three times and the super let her in. The young psychic quickly rushed up to her apartment, unlocked the door and went inside shutting and locking the door behind her.

Jasmine took off her coat hung it on her coat rack and placed her purse and backpack on her dining room table. After taking off her shoes, she walked over to her answering machine and seeing that she only had one message, she pushed the button.

The answering machine beeped and then the voice of Jasmine's childhood friend, Sandy Larson the imp demon was heard, "Hi Jasmine. I guess you're wondering how I got your number and why I'm calling you. Well, I called up your grandparents and they gave it to me. I hope you don't mind if I do call you and I hope you still have my number. If you do, can you please give me a call? It's urgent and I know we live a few time zones away from each other but, don't think you can't talk to me. Please call me when you get this message. Bye."

When Sandy's message ended, Jasmine stood there dumbstruck. What did Sandy need to talk to her about? The young imp demon sounded anxious about something. Jasmine then picked up her cordless phone and opened up her address book.

As she punched in Sandy's number, she prayed that it wasn't that mysterious masked man causing more trouble again. Jasmine then held the phone up to her ear as she listened to it ring. After about four rings someone picked up.

A man's voice then spoke, "Hello Richardson/Larson residence, Wyatt speaking. How can I help you?"

Jasmine replied, "Hi, may I speak to Sandy please?"

The man named Wyatt replied, "Yeah sure. Who am I speaking to?"

Jasmine began to twirl one of her brown curls around her slender finger, "Oh sorry about that. My name is Jasmine Black and I am Sandy's childhood friend."

"Okay Jasmine, I'll go get her for you."

The young demon hunter then heard, "Sandy you have a phone call from someone named Jasmine. She says she's your childhood friend."

"Okay thank you Wyatt. I'll take it from here."

Sandy then spoke into the phone, "Hello? Jasmine?"

Jasmine responded, "Hi Sandy. I just got your message, how are you doing? You sounded anxious about something? Are your kidnappers still pursuing you?"

The line went silent for a minute and the young imp demon responded, "No actually."

Jasmine sat down on her leather couch still gripping her cordless phone, "What's going on then? Are my family okay?"

The line was silent again and Sandy once again spoke, "Um, well…Jasmine, something happened in Valdez the other day."

Jasmine's jaw dropped. What the hell was going on? What has happened since she, her parents, siblings, and Koenma had left to go back to Mushiori City? The Alaskan demon hunter found her voice and asked, "Sandy, I need you to be completely honest with me. What happened?"

Sandy took a deep breath and deciding to be a good friend, the imp demon began to tell her, "Your aunt Demetra got injured when she, your grandpa, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Roland III, and your cousins bumped into that masked man again."

"What?! Why?!"

Sandy tightly gripped onto her phone and replied, "They and the rest of your family have gained more leads in the disappearances of some more of the local demons and well, they went out to protect the ones who they found out were the next intended targets. One of them was Hiroshi."

Jasmine felt a lump in her throat. The memory of her first encounter with the purple salmon eating demon came flooding back to her again. She then thought to herself, "Please let him be okay. Please Hiroshi; I hope you fought them off."

Not getting a response from Jasmine, Sandy spoke again, "Are you still there?"

"Yeah Sandy, I'm still here. What happened? Sandy tell me, did the demons escape?"

Sandy was silent for a minute and then replied, "No, the fight was really brutal. Well, only one did. Hiroshi was the only demon who escaped thanks to your cousins Julia and Wendy. The other demons were killed in the battle when they tried to protect your family members that were fighting."

"What happened to my Aunt Demetra? Is she okay?"

Sandy took a deep breath and replied, knowing that Jasmine isn't going to like what she was going to hear, "Not really. The mysterious masked man really did a number on her. If it wasn't for your grandpa, your Uncle Roland III and Hiroshi stepping in, she would be dead right now."

Jasmine felt like she was going to cry and holding her tears at bay and choking back a sob, she asked, "What he do to her?"

"He broke her back, shattered her knee, and knocked her out with a few blasts from his spirit energy. Your aunt is currently in the hospital here in Anchorage because; Valdez General could only do so much for her."

Jasmine felt her hand begin to shake and switched the cordless phone to her other hand and asked, "Have you gone to see her?"

Sandy nodded, "Yes, my human boyfriend Wyatt and I did. That's how I found out about what happened. Just so you know, Demetra is awake and talking but, she is in so much pain right now and under a lot of medication. She, your Aunt Theresa, and your Uncle Roland told me everything. That poor, poor woman."

"Where's Hiroshi? Is he okay?"

The imp demon woman took a sip from her glass of water, "Yeah, he's fine. After that battle, he high tailed it out of Valdez on his boat. He's here in Anchorage. Don't worry; he has plenty of salmon to eat so he's not going to starve. He swings by my place once a week because, Wyatt always catches extras."

Sandy took another sip of water, "Jasmine, I have to tell you that things are getting worse for demons around Valdez. It's becoming increasing harder for your family keep up with protecting them. It seems as though those asshats from Spirit World are getting more and more desperate."

Jasmine pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. Why? Why was this happening? Jasmine put her hand down and looked up at the cat clock on the wall. Botan was due to pick her up and take her to Spirit World in ten minutes to go see Koenma again.

Jasmine then loudly exhaled and said, "Thank you for telling me this Sandy but, I'm going to have to let you go. Please take of yourself and if you hear about anything else, by all means, call me."

Sandy smiled, "I will Jasmine. It was good talking to you."

"It was nice talking to you too."

The childhood friends bid each other goodbye and ended their phone conversation. Jasmine walked to her kitchen and grabbed Tom's kitty food bowl. She opened up the cupboard and took out the bag of crunchy kitten food and poured it into his bowl.

Tom the orange kitten ran over to her and began to cry at his cat mother for his food. Jasmine set the bowl on the floor and the small feline scurried over and began to eat his kibble happily. As she walked back into the living room and put her shoes and coat back on, Jasmine tried not to think about the developments that Sandy had just told her.

Over the next of couple weeks, everyone was hard at work with everything they had to do. Jasmine, Koashura, and Kotennyo had midterm exams and also being busy with their jobs and as a result, Jasmine and Koenma didn't get to hang out during midterm's week. But, the week after was Spring Break and the lovers got to spend the whole week together along with Koashura, Kotennyo, Shizuru, Kuwabara, Yukina, Botan, and Jorge. They all went to Hanging Neck Island and their little mini vacation was good for the most part with the exception of finding out King Yama was also on the island.

Luckily, they outsmarted him with Koashura wearing a disguise by beating him at a poker game. After the tyrannical king left, the final day of Spring Break went back to being peaceful and fun. It was now the Saturday afterwards and Koenma sat in his office working on his stacks upon stacks of paperwork.

The currently toddler looking prince had his radio playing in the background to break the monotony of his work. Since coming back from his fun and relaxing mini vacation, Koenma was in a really good mood. It was just what he needed to take the edge off.

Stamp…rustle…stamp…rustle

The music of the radio continued to play and Koenma began to hum along to it.

Stamp…rustle…stamp…rustle

The current song ended and the next one, "Soul to Squeeze" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers began to play. The sound of the song's instrumental riff filled the four corners of the young prince's office. After nearly a minute, Koenma then began to sing along to the first verse. His beautifully enchanting voice then rang out:

I've got a bad disease
Up from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's me.

After stamping a few more documents he set them on the processed pile and continued with the first chorus:

Where I go I just don't know
I got to, got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Koenma was so consumed in his work and the song; he didn't notice his office doors open while he broke into the second verse.

Today love smiled on me.
It took away my pain, said please
I'll let your ride be free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.

Jasmine and Botan walked in. They both the warm happiness of the magical properties of the prince's voice and both young women just stood there listening to him sing the second chorus.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to, got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Koenma then quit singing while the instrumental interlude played. Jasmine nodded to Botan, signaling her that she will get his attention. The lovely blue haired grim reaper nodded with understanding in response and left to go finish her shift. Jasmine shifted her attention to her currently pint sized boyfriend who still didn't notice her there. The instrumental interlude ended and the young demon hunter then thought of a way to get Koenma's attention and then sang the next verse:

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.

Hearing Jasmine's nice sounding high soprano voice, Koenma looked up from his paperwork and smiled at her in greeting. The young human psychic continued as she walked into the office and towards his desk, careful not to knock any of the unprocessed paperwork over:

It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Lay me on your shore.
'Cause I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.

Diddle doddle ding a zing a zong zong a zing
a zoma zoma zoma con don bing
I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures are more special
But I won't regret it never.

Koenma started to giggle like a complete and utter dork and he and Jasmine finished the song with singing the final chorus together with the sweet young woman standing in front of his desk gripping onto her black purse straps.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to, got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.

The song finally finished and Koenma and Jasmine both looked at each other and smiled. The currently toddler looking prince then asked his human girlfriend who was dressed in her blue hospital scrubs with her long brown curls looking a bit frizzed out, "Hello my queen, how was work?"

Jasmine smiled, "It was good. I spent the first part of my shift in the shower room today because we were a bit overstaffed. Some of the girls from the night shift wanted to work overtime. How was your day?"

Koenma let out a loud sigh, "Same old, same old but, at least my dad has left me alone the entire day."

Seeing the far off look on his lovely girlfriend's face, he began to feel concern for her, "Jasmine is there something wrong?"

The Alaskan demon hunter snapped out of her daze, "Huh?" she then looked down at her feet and nodded.

"What is it? Did something happen at work again?"

Jasmine shook her head, "No. No, it's just something that I've had on my mind for the last couple of weeks and I just kept it to myself because, you have your own stuff to worry about, Koashura has his radio show and he's having fun with that, Kotennyo is currently working on a new masterpiece, Shizuru is preparing for her graduation from the Mushiori Beauty Academy and my sister is getting ready for her graduation too. I also didn't want to ruin everyone's Spring Break either."

Now really feeling like something was wrong, Koenma wanted to know what it was, "Come talk to me." He then hopped out of his big plush red chair.

Jasmine stopped looking at her feet and giggled. She loved how sweet and caring her boyfriend was. She then walked over and took off her coat and set that and her black and white handbag on the floor next to the chair. She sat down and Koenma climbed up and sat on her lap.

The currently pint sized prince took Jasmine's hand in comfort and deciding to be a good girlfriend and be honest with him, Jasmine began to tell him what has been on her mind for the last couple of weeks.

"Two weeks ago, when I came home from school, I found a message on my answering machine from my childhood friend Sandy. You remember her right?"

Koenma nodded, "I sure do."

Jasmine took a deep breath, "Well, she really sounded anxious and wanted me to call her back and I did. She then told me about a huge battle that just recently taken place in Valdez."

"What happened?"

Jasmine gently squeezed her boyfriend's small hand, "Well, Sandy told me that masked asshole is back and was trying to kidnap more demons and my family members that still live there have been investigating it and found out which demons were the targets. One of them was my purple salmon eating childhood friend Hiroshi. My grandpa, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Roland III, Aunt Demetra, and my three cousins, Julia, Demetri, and Wendy showed up to defend them. All of the demons except for Hiroshi were killed in the battle when they tried to protect my family from the masked bastard and his cronies. Sadly my Aunt Demetra was critically injured by the masked man."

Koenma's large brown eyes widened. His jaw dropped open and his pacifier nearly fell out of his mouth. He sat there speechless for a minute and asked his human lover, "I…Is she okay? What the hell happened to her?"

Jasmine shut her big brown eyes for a minute and bit her lip. The thought still made her want to cry. The young demon hunter took a deep breath and deciding to remain strong and calm about this, she opened her eyes back up and looked down at Koenma and replied, "That son of a bitch broke her back, shattered her knee, and knocked her out using blasts of his spirit energy. Sandy told me if my grandpa, Hiroshi, and my Uncle Roland didn't step in on time, he would have killed her."

Koenma gently squeezed Jasmine's hand and asked, "How is she? Is Demetra going to be okay?"

She gave him a small smile and nodded, "Yeah, she's recovering in one of the hospitals in Anchorage. Sandy found out about what happened when she went to go see her. Sandy also informed me that Hiroshi escaped to Anchorage on his boat. I'm so glad that he and my aunt are okay but, I just can't believe how bad things have gotten in Valdez since we left to go back home. Why is this happening to my hometown? I know that things are bad for demons here in Spirit World too but, is Mushiori City the same way? What about in Demon World?"

Koenma squeezed Jasmine's hand harder and said trying to calm her down, "Jasmine, Jasmine you need to relax. I don't know and I really hope not."

Deciding that she should try and take her mind off of it, Jasmine then suggested trying to change the subject, "Do you need help trying to get all of this paperwork done?"

Koenma nodded, "Sure. Are you sure that you don't want to talk about this more?"

The demon hunter nodded, "Yeah if I do, I'll make myself ill over it. You're not getting anxious over this are you?"

Koenma shrugged his small shoulders, "I am but, I'm trying not to think about it either. Let's just focus on this for right now. Do you feel comfortable with that?"

Jasmine gave him a sweet smile, "Yeah, thank you Koenma. I love you."

"I love you too Jasmine."

They let go of each other's hands and soon got started on the many stacks of paperwork. While working on the punishment piles, Koenma couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on? Who was the mysterious masked man and why is Valdez, Alaska one of the places being targeted for their demonic activity? He then shook his head. Thinking about it was starting to give him a migraine and he didn't want to keep stressing out his human lover over it.

Koenma then decided to banish those thoughts out of his head for right now and continued to focus on his heavy workload. The music from Koenma's radio and the sounds of thumping from their stamping tools and rustling papers were the only sounds in the office for the next few hours.

After completing what seemed to be the thirtieth stack of paradise documents, Jasmine then decided to break the silence and asked, "Koenma?"

Setting another processed punishment document on the processed pile, Koenma looked up from his work, "Yeah?"

Reading and stamping a couple more documents, Jasmine then asked him, "Have you decided if you wanted to visit Kuroko or not? She asked me today at work."

The currently pint sized prince just stared at her, blinking his large brown eyes for a minute. He then formed a smile behind his blue pacifier and nodded, "Yeah I have."

After reading through and stamping a couple more documents, Jasmine shifted her attention back to him, "So?"

"So, I decided I will go see her. I already decided last week just before we went to Hanging Neck Island for our Spring Break."

Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl and bopped herself on the head at her forgetfulness, "Oh, sorry. I've just had so much on my mind lately. Well anyway, I'm glad that you decided you will. I'll tell Kuroko when I see her at work tomorrow. So, when do you want to come in and see her?"

Koenma sat his wooden stamping tool down on his desk and put his small hand on his chin and thought about for a moment. He then turned around, looked back up at Jasmine and replied, "How do you feel about tomorrow. I can get Jorge to cover for me."

The Alaskan demon hunter smiled, "Great. I'll tell her at the start of my shift tomorrow and that'll give you plenty of time to get over there. Oh, bring whatever color marker you want with you."

"Why?"

Jasmine giggled, "She's going to want you to sign her cast. Her husband, kids, her old high school friends along with me, the other aides, Dr. Murota, and the nurses have."

Koenma chuckled, "Okay, I'll remember that."

The lovers and friends then finished off the stamping a couple of hours later and Jasmine once again used her healing technique on herself and on Koenma. Jasmine didn't stay the night because she had to wake up early for her morning shift at the hospital. The young prince understood and they gave each other a hug before Jasmine was taken back to the Human World on Botan's oar.

The next morning, Koenma woke up at 6AM took a shower, got dressed in his normal outfit and quickly rushed over to his office. He decided to stay in his adult form today after switching to it before he went to bed the night before. For about four hours, Koenma worked on his paperwork. He already arranged with Jasmine that he wouldn't arrive at the hospital until at least 11.

As promised, Jorge covered for him and Koenma thanked the ogre for his help. He quickly rushed out of the palace gates and hopped onto Botan's oar. The lovely grim reaper flew into a gateway to the Human World and landed in front of Genkai's compound.

Before going up the long staircase to his elderly friend's property, Koenma thanked Botan for the ride and she left back for Spirit World a minute later. The prince ran up the staircase and knocked on the large wooden double doors.

Genkai answered less than a minute later and greeted her longtime friend, "Hello Koenma. What brings you here?"

Koenma looked down at the small old woman and smiled behind his pacifier, "I need to change into some human clothes because, I'm going to visit with Jasmine and Kuroko today."

"Wow, you haven't seen nor spoken to her in over ten years. I thought she didn't want anything to do with your or Spirit World anymore."

Koenma followed Genkai inside the compound and shrugged his broad shoulders, "Well, apparently she just wants to see me and nothing else of Spirit World. That's what Jasmine told me anyway."

Genkai opened up her closet and took out a tan suit with a blue button up shirt and handed them to her longtime friend and Koenma asked her, "Do you have any colorful markers or sharpies anywhere?"

Genkai nodded, "Yeah, what do you need them for?"

"I just need one because; Jasmine said that Kuroko wanted me to sign her cast today during the visit."

The small elderly psychic chuckled, "Okay. What color do you want?"

Koenma thought about it for a moment and replied, "May I have a blue one?"

Genkai smiled, "Sure thing." She then took out a box from her closet and began to dig through it. After digging in the box for about a minute, she withdrew a blue sharpie and handed it to Koenma.

The young prince smiled, "Thank you Genkai, you're a good friend."

He then walked down the hallway to change into the suit. After changing his clothes and his shoes, Koenma put the blue sharpie into his pocket and slipped his purple headband over his forehead to conceal his mark, then took out his pacifier and put it into his pocket. He then grabbed the old leather wallet Genkai let him borrow and slipped that into the pocket of his suit jacket.

He bid Genkai goodbye and left the compound. Koenma walked for an hour and a half until he reached the bus stop. He only waited for the bus for about five minutes and arrived in front of the hospital twenty minutes later.

Koenma then got off the bus and entered the hospital. He took the elevator up to the floor Jasmine worked on and approached the nurses' station. The head nurse, Kasumi Haruna looked up from typing on her computer and looked up at the tall and handsome man standing before her.

The ordinary human blinked her blue eyes and asked, "Yes how can I help you sir?"

Koenma cleared his throat and replied, "Hi, you probably don't remember me but, I'm Jasmine's boyfriend. We met eight or nine months ago."

Kasumi then asked, "You're here to see Jasmine?"

Koenma nodded, "Yeah but, I'm also here to see an old friend of mine who's a patient on this floor. Her name is Kuroko Sanada."

The ordinary human nurse smiled and replied in a polite tone, "Sure thing…uh, I'm sorry, what was your name again? Kenny was it?"

The young prince chuckled at the ordinary human's forgetfulness, "Actually, my name is Koenma."

Kasumi laughed at herself and shook her head, "Sorry about that. Please have a seat and Jasmine will be with you in a minute. She's currently bathing a patient right now."

Koenma sat down on one of the chairs in the lobby next to a frail looking elderly woman. Kasumi the head nurse then pressed the button to the intercom and spoke into it, "CNA Black could you please report to the nurse's station?"

After Nurse Kasumi was finished speaking into the intercom, the elderly ordinary human woman took one look at Koenma and smiled at him, "Hello."

Koenma politely smiled and replied to her, "Hello."

The old woman continued to smile at him and said, "You're a very lucky man."

"Huh?"

The frail human then said, "Jasmine is a sweetheart. I always request for her because, she's the only aide on this floor that knows how to properly turn someone and fluff their pillows. She's such a sweet, kind, and caring young woman."

Koenma smiled, "She is. That's one of the things I love about her the most."

Just then, Jasmine emerged from the shower room with her brown curls looking a bit frizzed out from the humidity of the shower room with her blue hospital scrubs looking a bit damp in some places. The young psychic pushed an elderly man fully clothed in pajamas in his wheelchair.

The old man then said to her, "Right here is fine. I love this spot, you don't get any glare on the TV here."

Jasmine chuckled, she knew that there weren't any windows except in the patients' rooms and knew darn well that no sun will put glares on the TV. Deciding to humor him, she replied, "Well this is the best spot next to the nurses' station and you got lucky nobody else got it."

The old man then looked up at her, "Thank you Jasmine. Oh, could you get me a blanket and drape it over my shoulders, it's cold in here."

Jasmine smiled, "Sure thing Mr. Kudo." She then shifted her attention to Koenma, "Sorry Koenma, could you give me a minute?"

Koenma smiled and nodded in understanding, "Sure, go do what you need to do first."

She blew him a kiss and said, "Thank you, I love you."

"I love you too."

Jasmine then walked down the hall to the clean linen closet to fetch Mr. Kudo his blanket. Mr. Kudo looked over his shoulder at Koenma and smiled, "Ah, so you're her boyfriend. You're a lucky man."

Koenma chuckled, "Yeah I am. Jasmine is such a good friend and girlfriend."

Just then Jasmine walked back into the lobby and unfolded the blanket and draped it around Mr. Kudo's shoulders. She then asked him, "Is there anything else you need?"

The old ordinary human man shook his head, "Nope. That's all for now, thank you Jasmine."

Jasmine smiled and shifted her attention to the elderly woman sitting next to Koenma, "Mrs. Tsukino, is there anything you need?"

Mrs. Tsukino shook her head, "Not right now, thank you Jasmine."

Jasmine then shifted her attention back to her royal lover and asked him, "So, are you ready to see Kuroko?"

Koenma nodded, "Yeah but, I am a little nervous. It's been such a long time."

The Alaskan demon hunter giggled thinking how cute Koenma's bashfulness was, "It's going to be okay Koenma. She's really looking forward to seeing you."

The prince got up from the chair he was sitting in and before he and Jasmine could make their way to Kuroko's room, Kasumi the head nurse then interjected, "Jasmine, while you're down there, could you get Kuroko's vitals?"

Jasmine bopped herself on the head, "Oh, how can I forget. Today is Sunday. Thank for reminding me Kasumi."

Koenma looked at her and asked the young demon hunter curiously, "Is there something special about today?"

Jasmine nodded as she picked up the blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and her clipboard, "Yep, today is Sunday Vitals Day. We take every patient's vitals on this day unless they have hypertension which is high blood pressure, hypotension, that's low blood pressure or some kind of heart condition or if they are sick, then we do those patients every day."

She then held her hand out to the prince and said, "Ready?"

Koenma gladly took her hand nodded, "Yes."

The lovers walked all the way down the hallway to a private room. Jasmine let go of Koenma's hand and knocked on the open door, "Knock, knock."

Kuroko then turned off her TV and looked over to the doorway. She smiled in greeting to the younger psychic and chuckled, "You know you don't have to knock."

Jasmine chuckled, "I know, Kuroko, guess who's here."

The Alaskan demon hunter took her lover's hand and walked into Kuroko's room guiding him behind her. The former spirit detective's dark eyes widened seeing the tall, handsome prince that she hadn't seen nor spoken to in over ten years standing before her.

Koenma looked at the beautiful woman with a cast on her leg and a blanket covering her lap. Kuroko was just as Koenma remembered her except she looked ten to fifteen years older since the day of her retirement.

The former spirit detective and her former boss stared at each other not knowing what they wanted to say. Deciding to break the silence between them, Kuroko then spoke, "Hello Koenma. You look great. How are you?"

Jasmine squeezed Koenma's hand and gave him a warm smile in comfort, "Go ahead Koenma."

Koenma looked at Jasmine and shifted his attention back to Kuroko and replied to her, "Thank you. Um…wow, I'm doing okay. Jasmine is keeping me sane."

The young psychic chuckled and stood on her tip toes and kissed Koenma's cheek. She let go of his hand and said to the ex-spirit detective, "Before I forget, Kuroko, I'm going to need to take your vitals."

Kuroko smiled, "Sure." She then held out her arm to Jasmine and the young woman wrapped the blood pressure cuff around her upper arm.

While Jasmine took her blood pressure, Koenma asked Kuroko, "So how has everything been since your retirement?"

Before Kuroko could reply, Jasmine removed the blood pressure cuff and said as she wrote down the former spirit detective's blood pressure on her clipboard, "It's normal, 120/80."

Jasmine then stuck the thermometer under Kuroko's tongue and Koenma watched as his lover did that while she took Kuroko's pulse and counted her respirations. The young demon hunter wrote them down on her clipboard and when the thermometer beeped, Jasmine withdrew it from the older psychic's mouth.

While she wrote down each result on her clipboard she said to her patient, "Everything appears to be normal. Your respirations are at 20 breathes per minute, body temperature is at 98.8 degrees Fahrenheit which in Celsius it's 37.1 degrees and last but not least your pulse is 73 beats per minute."

Kuroko brightly smiled, lightly clapped her hands and acting like a complete dork she said, "Yay!"

Both Koenma and Jasmine laughed. Jasmine smiled and asked her patient, "Do you need anything before I have to leave to get the other patients' vitals?"

Kuroko nodded, "Yeah, I would like to get out of bed for a little bit."

The Alaskan demon hunter set her clipboard, blood pressure cuff and thermometer down on the nightstand and shifted her attention to Koenma, "Koenma, do you mind if you can help us for a little bit?"

Koenma shook his head, "No not at all. What do you want me to do?"

Jasmine then pointed over to the wheelchair in the corner, "The only thing I would like you to do is wheel that wheelchair up to Kuroko close enough for her to sit down in it. Do you think you can handle it?"

Koenma nodded, "Yeah."

Kuroko removed the blanket from her lap and slowly turned toward the side of the bed with Jasmine guiding her casted leg. Seeing his former spirit detective in just a white t-shirt with the Nirvana smiley face and a pair of white lace panties, Koenma's pale cheeks blushed a deep red and he turned his head to the side.

Seeing that Kuroko started cracking up and wondering what she was laughing at, Jasmine turned her head to see her boyfriend blushing like mad. She giggled like a schoolgirl at his awkwardness and asked, "Koenma what's wrong?"

The prince looked at his feet and said, "I…I…um…well, Kuroko is…um…in just a t-shirt and her underwear and I um….well…"

Both Jasmine and Kuroko laughed and the former spirit detective said to her ex-boss, "You feel it's not appropriate. Well Koenma, I'm not embarrassed. At least I'm covered. It's not like I'm flashing my crotch or my boobs at you. Hell, you must see Jasmine in her panties all the time."

Koenma just blushed redder at Kuroko's words and Jasmine giggled, "Yeah he does." She then whispered in the former spirit detective's ear, "He goes nuts when he sees me in lingerie."

Kuroko chuckled and once she regained her composure she whispered back, "Ah, I see. Well Jasmine, what do you say I bring you to my favorite adult store after I get my cast removed? They have tons of awesome stuff that'll drive any man crazy."

Jasmine's pale freckled cheeks turned pink and she giggled and whispered back, "That sounds awesome. I was looking for a new place since the one I went to on a regular basis permanently closed its doors a week after Valentine's Day."

Seeing them still whispering and giggling back and forth to each other, Koenma then shook his head and asked the two women, "What are you two talking about?"

Jasmine and Kuroko quit whispering to each other and Jasmine replied, "Girl stuff."

The prince put his hands in his pockets, "Oh, okay."

Deciding to try to change the subject, Jasmine then said to her lover who still looked like he was about to die from embarrassment, "Koenma are you okay?"

Koenma silently nodded and Kuroko then said jokingly, "Hey look at the bright side, at least I'm not wearing a thong. I only save those for Shogo."

The prince blushed even redder and Jasmine started laughing again. Seeing how red his face was she then scoot Kuroko's grey walker up to the former spirit detective and then approached her lover and put her hand on his broad shoulder. Koenma turned around and Jasmine gazed into his brown eyes putting her hands on his chest.

"My prince, are you okay? Did Kuroko and I embarrass you enough?"

Still blushing like crazy he silently nodded. Jasmine then stood on her tip toes and cupped her lover's face in her small dainty hands and gave him a deep and passionate kiss. Koenma kissed her back with the same deep passion and they parted seconds later.

As they broke their embrace, Jasmine then asked him, "Feeling better?"

Still gazing into her large brown eyes, Koenma nodded, "Yes my queen."

Kuroko chuckled at the couple in front of her. She thought that it was adorable that her favorite nurse's aide and her former boss seemed to really love and adore each other.

The ex-spirit detective then thought to herself, "I hope Jasmine is the girl for you Koenma. It would be wonderful to see you two get married."

Kuroko was snapped back to reality when Jasmine asked her holding a pair of red shorts, "Kuroko, do you want to put these on so, Koenma is not so embarrassed about this anymore?"

She chuckled, "Sure, it was just so much fun picking on him again."

As Jasmine carefully slipped her legs into the shorts, Koenma slightly laughed at those memories, "Yeah, I missed that too. She used to joke around with me all the time."

Counting to three, Jasmine helped Kuroko stand on her good leg and pulled up her shorts covering her white lacy panties. She then linked her arm with the former spirit detective's and asked her boyfriend, "What kind of stuff did she used to make jokes about?"

Both Koenma and Kuroko started laughing and after laughing for a minute, he replied, "Well for starters, she first met me when I was in this body and she always made jokes about how a good looking guy like me shouldn't stay single. Also, she would joke about how I should ditch my pacifier because I'm too old for it, how much of a dork I am and other silly stuff. Her jokes were similar to Yusuke's but, not as mean spirited."

Kuroko chuckled at she hopped on her good foot and Koenma scoot the wheelchair up to her, "Well, you are and I see you're not wearing it right now."

"Well, I can't go wandering the Human World with it in my mouth or I'll draw attention to myself."

Kuroko carefully lowered herself onto her wheelchair and sat down. As Jasmine was putting her casted leg into the leg rest she added, "You did have it in your mouth a few times when we went to Alaska for Christmas."

Koenma chuckled, "Yeah I did and thank you Jasmine for understanding why."

The young psychic winked flirtatiously, "Anything for you my prince."

Jasmine then picked up a red blanket with pink hearts on it and placed it over Kuroko's lap. She then asked the older psychic, "Is there anything you need Kuroko?"

Kuroko shook her head, "Nope, that's all for now. Thank you Jasmine."

Jasmine shifted her attention to Koenma, "I'm going to check the rest of the patients' vitals and do some paperwork. Are you and Kuroko going to be fine by yourselves for an hour until I finish my shift?"

The prince nodded, "Yes, it'll be great to catch up with her. Go finish your CNA duties so you don't fall behind."

Jasmine stood on her tip toes and she and Koenma gave each other another deep, loving and passionate kiss. They parted after a minute and Jasmine picked up her clipboard, blood pressure cuff, and thermometer. As she walked out the door she said, "You two have fun and I'll see you both downstairs after my shift is over."

"See you then." Kuroko replied and Jasmine gave them both a sweet smile and walked into the next room over.

"Koenma could you push me up to the mirror?"

The prince nodded, "Sure." He reached down and unlatched the locks of the wheelchair and pushed his former spirit detective up to her vanity mirror.

Kuroko picked up her hairbrush and began to brush her long black hair. After she brushed all the tangles out of her hair, she put her hairbrush down and tied her long raven locks back with a red hair scrunchie.

Koenma then decided to go back to the previous conversation they were having before she and Jasmine decided to joke around with him and asked, "So, how have things been going since your retirement?"

Kuroko turned her head and looked up at her former boss and replied, "Great actually. Shogo is a wonderful husband and a great father to our two beautiful kids. He's a very successful novelist and works as a college literature professor part time at Mushiori University. Just to earn a little extra income. My son Kaisei just turned ten at the beginning of this month and he's doing very well with school. He's been making the honor roll every semester. My daughter Fubuki she's eight going on nine. Her birthday is next month and she's also an honor roll student at school. And I have recently joined a crochet club at the Mushiori City Rec Center. I have recently taken it up and it's very relaxing."

Koenma smiled, "That's great. I'm happy to hear you're doing well." He then scratched the back of his head nervously and then decided to ask her something that he had thought about for almost a year since Yusuke was fired from being spirit detective. The prince took a deep breath and asked Kuroko, "Kuroko can I ask you something?"

She nodded, "Sure, what about?"

Koenma took another deep breath, "Has anyone from Spirit World ever approached you to um…kill Yusuke Urameshi? You know since my dad fired him and has wanted him dead because of what he is."

Kuroko just sat there looking up at her former boss. She stared at him for a minute and deciding to be honest with him, she gestured for him to come closer to her. Koenma then knelt down and Kuroko spoke in a quiet voice only she and Koenma could hear, "Yeah, they have. In fact, they sent one of your grim reaper ladies to talk to me."

Koenma's jaw dropped. He was completely speechless and Kuroko continued, "I told her to buzz off saying that I don't answer to them anymore. So basically, I just flat out told them that I won't do it. Hell, even if they threatened my family, I still wouldn't. I would have found a way to protect them and help Yusuke. Even though Yusuke did freak me out with the whole "humans as food" thing when he spoke to that trio of demon monks, I never once thought about harming him. Honest."

The prince then stood back up and looking at how genuinely sincere Kuroko was, he believed her. Before he could reply, three people showed up in the doorway of the former spirit detective's room.

The young boy with the brown ponytail spoke, "Hi Mom!"

Kuroko shifted her attention to her family and gave them a bright smile, "Hi guys. What did you bring for me today?"

Her husband Shogo Sato walked up to her and knelt his head down and gave his wife a loving kiss and replied, "The kids picked out your present this time."

Taking one look at Koenma, he then said to him, "Um hi, I don't believe we met."

Kuroko chuckled and informed her husband, "Shogo, this is my old spirit detective boss, Koenma. He's also the boyfriend of my favorite nurse's aide Jasmine. He has taken the time out of his busy schedule to come visit me."

Shogo held his hand out to the prince, "Nice to meet you Koenma."

Koenma shook hands with the ordinary human, "Nice to meet you too Mr. Sato."

The two men let go of each other's hands and Shogo gave the prince a friendly smile, "Please, just call me Shogo." He shifted his attention to his two kids, "Show your mom what you two picked out for her."

Kaisei and Fubuki ran over to their mother and handed her two colorful gift bags. Kuroko reached her hand into the blue party bag and took out a brown Beanie Baby dog. The former spirit detective brightly smiled at her son, "Wow, this is cool. Thank you Kaisei."

Kaisei hugged his mother and after they broke their short embrace, Kuroko reached her hand into the pink party bag and took out a pink Beanie Baby octopus. She brightly smiled at her daughter, "So cool. Thank you Fubuki."

Fubuki also hugged her mother and Kuroko said to both of her kids, "Go put these on my nightstand and we can all go downstairs for lunch."

Both children grabbed the beanie babies and ran up and put them on her nightstand. Looking at all of the cards, stuffed animals, balloons, and a couple of boxes of chocolates Koenma chuckled, "Wow, looks like you're being spoiled. Now I feel bad for not getting you anything."

Kuroko warmly smiled at her former boss, "That's okay Koenma."

Just then Koenma remembered seeing the signatures on Kuroko's cast and took out the blue sharpie he borrowed from Genkai, "Oh, I almost forgot."

He then knelt down and signed Kuroko's cast and wrote:

I hope you're up walking and feel better soon.

~Koenma

Kuroko smiled, "Thank you Koenma."

The prince stood back up and slipped the sharpie back into his suit jacket. Feeling his stomach rumble, he was ready to go downstairs to get something to eat.

Shogo then asked his beautiful wife, "Dear, would you like me to push you?"

The former spirit detective looked up at her husband, nodded and said, "Yes, I would love that."

Koenma followed the family of four down to the hospital cafeteria. They all got club sandwiches, potato chips, and a chocolate chip cookie with bottles of soda. Koenma paid for everyone's meal even though Shogo said he would but, was grateful for the young prince's generosity nonetheless.

While they were eating their lunch, Kaisei and Fubuki wouldn't stop staring at Koenma. The prince looked up from his meal and looked back at the two psychic children. Both children sensed his aura. Eight year old Fubuki was the first to say something, "Wow, you're really handsome. Are you a god?"

Koenma sat there holding his sandwich and smiled at the little girl's compliment, "Um, thank you and yes."

Kuroko sipped from her Coke, "Fubuki don't bother him."

Fubuki held her cookie, "Sorry mom but, he is. Your former boss looks like a movie star."

The newly ten year old Kaisei eyed Koenma with interest and then decided to ask him, "So my mom used to be your spirit detective?"

Koenma nodded, "Yes."

Kaisei took a sip from his orange soda, "Do you hire them?"

Before Koenma could reply, Fubuki then interjected, "Since our mom was a spirit detective and me and my brother have been trained to fight demons, can we be the next ones?"

Koenma was about to take a bite from his cookie but, he just sat there speechless at what they just asked him. Kuroko decided to say something, "Kids, don't give your hopes up. He already had someone ask him and he turned them down. Also, that's not the proper way to introduce yourselves. Don't be rude."

She took another sip from her soda and said to Koenma, "If they're bothering you, just ask them to leave you alone. They'll back off."

Both children then said, "Sorry Mom."

They then remembered their manners after being reminded by their mother. Kaisei then started off, "Hi I'm Kaisei Sanada and I memorize TV shows."

Fubuki then went after her older brother, "I'm Fubuki Sanada and I am in love with a movie star and I want to marry him."

Koenma then took a bite from his cookie and washed it down with his Coke, "It's a pleasure to meet you both but, I'm going to have to decline your offer."

Both Kaisei and Fubuki gave him blank looks and asked, "Why?"

"I believe I can answer that," said a young woman's voice behind the prince.

Koenma turned around and was pleasantly greeted by his lovely human girlfriend, Jasmine Black. Jasmine walked over to the table carrying her tray of food with her black and white handbag slung over her shoulder. She then sat down next to the prince and gave him a deep and loving kiss.

The lovers parted seconds later and Koenma greeted her, "Hello my queen. How was the rest of your shift?"

Jasmine smiled, "Great. So, they asked to become your next spirit detective?"

Koenma nodded, "Sadly yes."

The Alaskan demon hunter looked over at Kuroko and she said, "Go ahead and tell them Jasmine. They need to hear it."

Jasmine shifted her attention back to Kaisei and Fubuki and said jokingly to the two psychic children, "So, we meet again."

Fubuki started laughing, "Yes we do Miss Jasmine."

Jasmine opened up her bottled water and took a sip and said, "Okay kiddos, I'm going to tell you why Koenma is turning you down about the spirit detective thing."

Both kids sat down and listened to the young demon hunter explain to them that she once asked the prince and how he turned her down too. Koenma even added that he decided to abolish the position explaining to both Kaisei and Fubuki on how he felt it caused him and all three of his spirit detectives too much heartache. Both children looked very disappointed by the news.

They all then finished off their lunch and decided to go outside and walk the hospital grounds for the rest of the afternoon. Koenma had a good time spending time with Jasmine and his former spirit detective and her family talking about various subjects and laughter could be heard around the grounds. When the evening approached, Kuroko had to go back to inside the hospital and her husband and kids brought her back inside for dinner bidding Koenma and Jasmine a good evening. Kuroko thanked her former boss for coming to see her and Koenma said he was glad he did.

The lovers then left the hospital grounds walking hand in hand. They then approached Jasmine's apartment complex and Jasmine pushed the button on the gate's intercom. Kotennyo's voice then replied, "Yeah, how can I help you?"

Jasmine pushed the intercom button, "Hey Kotennyo, it's me and Koenma."

Kotennyo then let them through the gate and Jasmine and Koenma walked upstairs to the college trio's apartment. The Alaskan psychic knocked on the door and Kotennyo unlocked it and let the both of them in.

The young goddess smiled, "You guys are just in time. I just made homemade pizza and it came out perfect. Well, I did call up your dad, Jas and he helped me."

Jasmine smiled as she took off her coat and put it on the coat rack, "It's cool. You're still learning."

She shifted her attention to her loving boyfriend, "Would you like some dinner before you go back to Spirit World?"

Koenma nodded feeling his stomach rumble, "Yeah, I would like that."

Five minutes later the three friends then sat in the living room eating the homemade pizza. Kotennyo made sure to save some of the leftovers for Koashura when gets home from work.

While they were eating, Koenma then said to his lover, "Jasmine, I need to ask you something."

Jasmine washed down her pizza with her water, "What about?"

Koenma took a sip from his tea, "You know how you said you're tired of hearing how my dad says horrible things about you even though you two never met?"

"Yeah?"

The young prince held onto his teacup, "Well, I was wondering if you'd like to join me and my father for dinner this coming Friday. You know, just to show Dad that you're not a horrible person."

Jasmine sat there holding her water cup. She thought about it for a moment and shrugged her small shoulders, "Sure, why the hell not? If it'll get that bastard off our backs, why not?"

Kotennyo rolled her brown eyes, "Good luck with that you guys. Hell, he treated me like crap even after I met him when I was still going out with Koenma. Jasmine, just be careful around that fat bastard. He's not a pleasant man."

Jasmine gave her goddess friend a warm smile, "Don't worry Kotennyo. I know how to handle myself around jerks. I don't think King Yama would be any different."

Kotennyo stared at her pizza sitting on her plate and sighed, "He's different than most jerks Jasmine. Around someone like him, even if you want to beat the shit out of him, don't. It's just better to try to fake respect and politeness and act like a proper lady around him. Even if he pisses you off, don't give him the satisfaction of letting him see you being bothered by his actions and behaviors. Hell, I learned that the hard way."

Koenma took Jasmine's hand in comfort seeing her getting a little anxious from Kotennyo's words and said, "Kotennyo is right but don't worry, I'll be with you the entire evening. I don't mind helping you my queen."

Jasmine smiled, "Thank you Koenma. I love you."

"I love you too."

They shared another deep and loving kiss and parted a minute later. Deciding to change the subject, Kotennyo then mentioned, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you. Jasmine, your sister called and she wants us to call her back right away."

"What about?"

Kotennyo shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know but, it seemed very important. She said she wanted to talk to all of us."

Jasmine then set her plate down on the wooden coffee table and walked over to her cordless phone. She sat back down on the couch dialing her sister's number. The young demon hunter pushed the speaker phone button and Caroline picked up after a few rings, "Hello?"

"Hello Carol."

"Hello Jasmine. Hi Kotennyo and Koashura."

Jasmine chuckled at her sister's assumption, "Koashura is at work right now. It's just me, Kotennyo and Koenma here. So what did you need to talk to us about?"

The blond demon hunter then replied, "Raito and I just set the date. Our wedding is on June 30th. Oh, I have finally decided who my bridesmaids and my maid of honor are going to be."

Jasmine sipped from her water and asked her sister, "Who did you pick?"

Caroline switched her phone to her other ear and said, "I have decided that my best friend and fellow Sigma Delta Kappa sister Setsuna is going to be my maid of honor. Are you guys cool with that?"

Kotennyo took a bite from her pizza, "Oh definitely. Who did you pick for your bridesmaids?"

"Well, I already asked Shizuru today and she said yes along with my other friend and fellow sorority sister Usagi. So, I was wondering if you Jasmine and you Kotennyo would also like to be my bridesmaids."

Both Jasmine and Kotennyo brightly smiled and the Alaskan psychic replied to her sister, "Yeah. I love to."

Kotennyo also said with enthusiasm, "Me too. Oh hell yes. I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world Caroline."

Caroline brightly smiled and twisted her phone's cord around her index finger, "I'm so happy you guys said yes. Thank you so much. The final Tuesday of May, we are going all down to the bridal shop on Sun Street to try on dresses for you girls. Also, I have a dress alteration so; you all will get to see it."

Still smiling, Jasmine replied, "Looking forward to it Sis."

"Oh Koenma, since you're there, I want to ask you something too."

The prince finished off his current slice of pizza and washed it down with his tea, "Sure."

Caroline sipped from her coffee and said, "Raito and I were wondering if you and your band would like to perform at our reception. The other night, he heard your bands' songs on the radio and he really liked them. We then got to talking about the entertainment for the reception and we both decided on having a live band perform. So would you and the guys be interested?"

Koenma thought about it for a minute and replied, "Sure, I'll discuss it with Koashura, Shunjun, Jorge and our manager Genkai. We all have been wondering when and where we were going to find our next gig. We'll contact you if we are all on board for it."

"Great. I'll be looking forward to that call. Well, I'm going to have to let you guys go, Raito is going to be coming home from work in the next ten minutes and I promised him we would get to marathon "Back to the Future" tonight. Have a good night."

The three friends then replied and bid the blond psychic a goodnight and ended the phone conversation. Later that evening when Koashura came home, Koenma discussed the possible gig at Caroline's and Raito's wedding and the red headed god was all for it. Not long after that, Koenma then left and went back to Genkai's compound and discussed it with her too being that she's Exit Strategy's manager. The elderly psychic also loved the idea and said she was looking forward to it.

After changing back into his normal outfit and putting his pacifier back into his mouth, Koenma only waited for about five minutes until Botan came and picked him up and brought him back to Spirit World. When the prince returned home, he was lucky that his father was still out on one of his "vacations" to the Demon World and met up with Jorge in his office.

Two hours later, Koenma finished off his remaining paperwork and he and Jorge went out for a beer at Spirit World's local dive bar, The Fallen Angel. Upon entering the bar, the prince and his servant were greeted by the green ogre bartender, Hector.

"Hello Jorge. Well, hi there your highness. It's been a while since the last time I saw you."

Koenma chuckled at Hector's words, "It's only been a month."

Koenma and Jorge both sat down at the bar and ordered two frothy pints of beer. Before Koenma and Jorge could begin their conversation, the new captain of the SDF and Exit Strategy's drummer walked in alone. Shunjun looked around and seeing Koenma and Jorge, he walked over to join them at the bar, "Hey guys. What's going on?"

Koenma sipped from his frothy pint of beer, "Jorge, Shunjun, I have an announcement to make. We have landed another gig for the band."

The blue ogre and the blue haired soldier both grinned with excitement and Jorge asked his boss, "So Koenma sir, when is it?"

Koenma sipped from his beer again, "It's on June 30th at Jasmine's sister's wedding reception. I already talked to Koashura and Genkai about this and they are all for it. Are you guys interested?"

Jorge and Shunjun both sipped from their beer mugs and the blue haired soldier replied, "Fuck yeah. I was wondering when we would have another gig."

Jorge nodded and beamed with enthusiasm, "Count me in too Sir."

Koenma smiled, "Great, I'll inform Caroline tomorrow afternoon when I go see Jasmine for lunch."

The three men sat there in silence for a few minutes until Shunjun then decided to change the subject. "Hey guys, you'll never believe what I just heard from a couple of my SDF buddies today."

Jorge took another swig from his beer, "What?"

Hoping it wasn't any more bad news about another assassin, Koenma then said, "Please tell me it's not another assassin."

Shunjun shook his head, "No, it's not that. Actually this current hot gossip is from Demon World."

Koenma and Jorge both took swigs from their beers and the blue ogre then asked, "It's about King Raizen isn't it?"

Shunjun was about to drink some of his beer and stared at Jorge with a blank expression, "You heard about it too?"

Jorge nodded, "Yeah."

Koenma looked at the other two men with a confused expression, "What the hell is going on? Ogre did something come into my office today while I was gone?"

Jorge nodded, "Yes sir, in fact, I got a message today stating that King Raizen has died."

He then reached into his trench coat pocket and took a manila envelope and handed it to Koenma. The young prince opened up the envelope and took a single sheet of parchment. His brown eyes scanned the writing of the letter and after he was finished with reading it, he shifted his attention back to Jorge and Shunjun.

Koenma took another swig finishing off his beer, "Hector, could you get me another?"

Hector the green ogre bartender nodded and refilled Koenma's mug and handed back to him. Shunjun took a swig from his beer and commented, "Man that sucks. I may not see eye to eye with Yusuke Urameshi but man, I really feel bad for him."

Jorge finished off his mug of beer and Hector refilled it. The blue ogre took another swig and added, "Yeah definitely. Poor Yusuke, he's still trying to figure out his demon side and how the hell is he going to do that now?"

Koenma took a swig from his beer and thanking his lucky stars that he didn't switch back to his toddler form or he would be getting so drunk right now if he did, "Yeah. Poor Yusuke and for the rest of Demon World, do you guys know what that means?"

Shunjun and Jorge both shook their heads and Koenma took another swig from his beer and replied, "It means that there is more than likely there is going to be war to break out between Yomi and Mukuro."

All three men groaned and took swigs from their beers. Koenma then added sighing, "I really hope Yusuke comes up with some rational solution to this but, I highly doubt it. We all know how impulsive he is."

Koenma, Shunjun, and Jorge all continued their conversation and finished off their beers. The three members of Exit Strategy stayed until it was time for Hector to close the bar for the night. The three then left and bid Hector a goodnight. Koenma, Shunjun, and Jorge all decided to go to the ogre village and spend the night at Jorge's mother's place being too tired to walk back to the palace.

The next week seem to fly by with everyone being as busy as they were. Jasmine, Koashura, and Kotennyo were focused with their classes at MU and with their jobs. Koenma was buried in his paperwork and he and Jasmine didn't get to hang out very much unless she came to visit him when she got off from work or on her days off.

Soon Friday rolled around and Jasmine was currently in her bedroom with Kotennyo and Botan. After arranging the dinner with his father, Koenma had informed Jasmine that the king was expecting her to dress nice that evening. What King Yama meant was for her to be dressed in a kimono.

Kotennyo was the one to do her human friend's hair and makeup while Botan was the one to dress her. Even though Jasmine had lived in Japan for the last seven to eight years, she still didn't know how to dress herself up in a kimono. In fact, the Alaskan demon hunter only worn one a few times and she always had to borrow one from Shizuru and the elder Kuwabara sibling had to help dress her.

After fastening the hot pink obi sash around Jasmine's slender waist, Botan brightly smiled at her, "Take a look in the mirror."

Jasmine walked over to the mirror and gazing at her reflection, she did like what she saw. Jasmine was dressed in a royal blue kimono with black lace and with a hot pink obi sash around her slender waist. She then turned around and sat down on her bed as Kotennyo then tended to her long brown curls.

Five minutes later, the young goddess applied very little make just to highlight her friend's beauty and she then smiled after she was finished, admiring her handiwork. Kotennyo then handed Jasmine a mirror, "Take a look."

Jasmine gazed into the mirror and smiled. Her brown curls were done up in a bun and she wore light pink lipstick on her small pink lips with a small amount of blue eye shadow, black eye liner, and black mascara that brought out her large brown eyes and very little blush on her pale freckled cheeks.

Botan then gently stuck a small flowered hairpin in Jasmine's bun and said, "There, you're finished."

Jasmine then stood up and picked up her set of fans and while she was tucking them into her royal blue kimono, Kotennyo then reminded her, "Now, you remember what we discussed and practiced all week about how to act like a proper lady around the king?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yeah but, I just know he's going to be horrible."

Botan put her hand on her human friend's shoulder and offered some words of comfort, "Try to think positive about this. Koenma is going to be there to guide you through the night. If you feel like King Yama is giving you a hard time and you want to say something, let Koenma do the talking."

The young demon hunter gave her a small smile and the lovely blue haired grim reaper asked "Are you ready?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes, let's get this over with. I'm only doing this for Koenma."

Botan and Jasmine left the apartment complex and she and the young demon hunter hopped onto her oar. Jasmine tightly wrapped her arms around Botan's waist and shut her eyes trying not to look down being nervous from her phobia of heights. The two friends then flew into a gateway into Spirit World.

They landed at the palace gates five minutes later. Botan struggled to breathe with how tightly Jasmine squeezed her thin arms around her slender waist. The grim reaper then choked out, "J…Jasmine…please…let…go."

Jasmine opened her eyes and unwrapped her arms from around Botan and began to apologize, "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

Botan nodded, "Yeah, I'm just fine."

They both hopped off her oar and Botan made it disappear and pressed the button to the intercom. The ogre on the other side then responded, "Yeah, who is this?"

Botan pressed the button and spoke into it, "It's Botan and I have someone here for Lord Koenma and King Yama."

The ogre on the other side let both young women in and Jasmine and Botan walked down the long winding hallway until they reached the second set of double doors. The lovely blue haired grim reaper pressed the button to the intercom and the ogre on the other side let her and Jasmine in.

The two young women walked down the hallway until they reached the two pink and yellow double doors to Koenma's office and went inside. The tall and handsome young prince was already there waiting for them and looked up from the stack of paperwork he was working on.

He finished what was left of the said documents and shifted his attention back to Jasmine and Botan. Taking one look at his human lover, his pale cheeks blushed red thinking she looked absolutely breathtaking in the royal blue kimono she was wearing.

Seeing his reaction, Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl and asked him, "See something you like my prince?"

Koenma nodded, "Yes my queen. You look so beautiful." He then stood up and walked around his desk. He then gently tilted her chin up to look directly into her large brown eyes.

Both lovers shut their eyes and brought their lips together in a deep, loving, and passionate kiss. They parted a minute later and Botan chuckled at the adorable sight in front of her and said, "Well, I'll see you both after your dinner."

She then gave both of her friends a wink and left her young boss's and friend's office. Both Koenma and Jasmine shook their heads at their grim reaper friend. Koenma shifted his attention back to the young demon hunter and held out his arm for her, "Milady shall we?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes my prince, I'm only doing this for you."

They linked their arms together and took a deep breath before leaving the office. They walked down the hall until they reached two large green double doors with a dark blue border. The two doors opened and the lovers went inside. Upon entering the dining room, Jasmine could see that the place was a large spacious room with a long wooden dining room table with many plush red chairs that aligned that single piece of furniture.

"Koenma sir." Said a voice behind them.

Koenma turned his head around to see Jorge behind him and Jasmine. The blue ogre then spoke again, "Go ahead and sit down, your father will be here any minute with Francis."

As they walked over to the table, Jasmine then asked, "Who's Francis?"

Jorge then pulled out the chairs for both Koenma and Jasmine and the prince replied, "Francis is my father's ogre servant. He's Jorge's uncle, Carlotta's brother."

The lovers unlinked their arms and sat down right next to each other. Jasmine looked over at Jorge and said very politely, "Thank you Jorge but, you don't have to serve me. I can pretty much take care of myself."

Jorge chuckled at Jasmine's comment and scratched the back of his head, "It's no problem really besides, the king had ordered me to serve you and Koenma tonight."

"Jorge, you really don't have to…"

Her sentence was cut short when Koenma tapped her on the shoulder and she shifted her attention back to her boyfriend, "Yes Koenma?"

Koenma removed his pacifier and held it between his long index and middle fingers like a cigarette and replied, "I hate to interrupt you Jasmine but, we have to stand up now. My father is about to come in."

The young demon hunter wondered how he knew that but, her question was answered when she began to sense a god's aura along with another ogre's coming closer to the dining room. Koenma and Jasmine both stood up to show their respect to the king when the doors opened and in walked King Yama who was shrank down to a normal height of at least six feet tall, with an aging blue ogre with long grey hair tied back into a ponytail and one horn on his forehead wearing a brown loin cloth walking behind him.

Francis the ogre walked up to the table and pulled out the chair for the old king. King Yama walked up to the table and Jorge then faking his polite proper manner then introduced Jasmine, "Your high majesty King Yama sir, may I introduce you to Lord Koenma's human psychic girlfriend, Miss Jasmine Elizabeth Black."

Knowing that was her cue, Jasmine then politely bowed to the king acting like a proper lady, "Your majesty, it's an honor to meet you."

She then stood back up and offered her small dainty hand to the king and he reluctantly took it and lightly kissed it, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Black."

King Yama let go of her hand and then ordered in an authoritive tone, "You may sit down."

Koenma and Jasmine both sat down as did the king. The young prince slipped his blue pacifier into his pocket and took Jasmine's hand to comfort her seeing her nervousness. Jorge and Francis then left the dining room to assist the ogres in the kitchens to bring the dinner.

The three table occupants sat there in an awkward silence until Koenma decided to break the ice, "Jasmine why don't you tell my father about your life accomplishments so far?"

Jasmine was hesitant for a moment that is until King Yama barked at her, "Speak woman. My son has asked you to."

Koenma shot his father a nasty look for his harsh order to Jasmine. The prince gently squeezed Jasmine's hand and she looked over to see the look on her boyfriend's face which let her pluck up the courage and spoke faking her polite tone even though she wanted to yell at him for being impolite to her, "I am a medical student at Mushiori University. I am currently in my second semester and I work as a nurse's aide at the Mushiori Hospital."

Jasmine continued to make small talk about her job and what she's studying in school until Jorge and Francis walked back in with several other ogres with their meal. They set the trays of the covered food down on the wooden dining room table and removed the lids off of each one.

The ogres from the kitchen then backed away and stood against the wall letting Jorge and Francis serve the three table occupants. After Jorge and his elderly uncle finished serving Koenma, Jasmine, and King Yama, they too backed off and stood against the wall to let the three table occupants eat and enjoy their dinner.

Jasmine then stopped talking and began to eat in peace. King Yama then looked his son and asked, "What is wrong with her voice?"

Koenma was about to take a bite from his king crab and then looked at his father with a blank expression, "Nothing Dad, her voice is just fine."

The old king snorted and took a bite from his crab and washed it down with a few sips of wine, "Son, you're obviously deaf if you can't hear her weird accent."

Koenma sighed beginning to get agitated with his father, "Jasmine is from Alaska. She's not from Japan. That's just how the people from her native homeland talk. And yes Dad, I know she speaks with an accent and I think it's quite beautiful. Jasmine has a beautiful voice, I love hearing her talk."

Jasmine finished off her crab and held her wine glass, "Thank you Koenma."

The prince took his lover's hand and gently kissed it making Jasmine giggle like a schoolgirl, "You're very welcome my queen."

King Yama raised one of his thick black eyebrows at the sight in front of him. He didn't understand how his only son could adore in his opinion, the human tramp sitting in front of him. It was very clear to the three table occupants and Jorge and the other ogres that King Yama obviously didn't seem to care for Jasmine even if she and Koenma had a good, healthy, and loving relationship.

Koenma then let go of Jasmine's hand and even though she felt comfort from knowing that her prince was always there to defend her, she still felt anger towards the old king. She took a sip from her wine and just sat there quietly as she was served the second course of the meal.

After eating in silence for a few more minutes, King Yama spoke once again, "Alaska huh, I bet you encountered your fair share of demons there. I'm surprised none of them has consumed you for their dinner yet."

Jasmine then put her fork down and Koenma glared at him again. The young demon hunter really wanted to say something just as mean and hurtful but instead she asked in her fake polite tone, "What makes you say that?"

The king took another sip from his wine, "I can sense that your energy is nothing special. Well, compared to me that is. Then again, you are a frail human. In my opinion, my son could do better than you."

Having enough of his father's insults to Jasmine, Koenma then retorted, "If you must know father," he spat, "Jasmine has fought and killed many demons throughout her life. In fact, unlike Yusuke Urameshi, she was born with her spiritual abilities. Her current power level is that of an upper B class apparition."

King Yama glared at his son, "Don't you take that tone with me. Keep it up and you will be severely punished."

At this point, Koenma didn't care. He rolled his brown eyes and he felt Jasmine gently squeeze his hand in comfort. King Yama finished off his second course of clams and vegetables and took another sip from his wine glass. He then ordered his elderly ogre servant, "Francis pour me another glass of wine and get me the third course."

Francis nodded, "Yes Sir."

The elderly ogre did just that while his nephew Jorge did the same thing for Koenma and Jasmine. Deciding to say something this time, Jasmine then spoke up, "Your majesty what Koenma has been telling you is indeed correct. I have hunted and killed demons since I was a child. So, I know how to defend myself against them."

The king took another sip from his wine and then scoffed, "If that's the case, then why doesn't my son make you a spirit detective?"

Hearing his father say that, Koenma glared at him again and said with anger and annoyance, "I decided to abolish the position, besides Jasmine has already proved that she can protect and take care of me without having to be one."

King Yama didn't say anything and just continued to eat the rest of the third course which consisted of fish chowder and jasmine rice. They once again continued to eat in peace until the dessert course. While Jasmine was eating her chocolate mousse that she was enjoying, King Yama eyed the young woman with curiosity. He wanted to know more about this woman, in fact, he want to know more just so he can use it to his advantage.

The old king then thought to himself, "Hmmmm…I wonder. Could she be one of them?"

Feeling the king's cold stare on her, Jasmine looked up at him. Seeing the look on his face made her feel a bit uncomfortable. She couldn't pinpoint the emotion but, in return she gave him a blank look even though her brown eyes stated something different. King Yama can see the look of anger and hatred in her large brown eyes and it delighted him.

Soon the dinner and dessert was finished and King Yama stood up as did Koenma and Jasmine. The king then said to her, "It was a pleasure to meet you Miss Black. Let's go Francis."

Francis the elderly ogre nodded and followed the old king out of the dining room. When they were out of earshot Jasmine then dropped her polite and proper manner, "What a complete and utter bastard!"

Koenma sighed in agreement and began to apologize for his father's behavior, "I'm so sorry Jasmine. I didn't think he would be this horrible. I thought he would at least be nice to you for one night."

Jasmine then looked up at the prince's handsome face and gazed into his brown eyes and said sweetly, "It's not your fault Koenma. Some people are just dicks so, don't blame yourself."

The prince took his lover's small dainty hands and kissed them, "I know but, I just wanted to show him that you're not a horrible person. But, it just backfired so horribly."

Jasmine then stood on her tip toes and gave Koenma a deep reassuring kiss. He kissed her back with deep and loving passion and parted after a couple of minutes.

"I love you Jasmine."

"I love too Koenma."

Ten minutes later, Botan brought Jasmine back to the Human World with the young demon hunter still fuming from King Yama's insults. When she returned to her apartment, she informed Botan, Koashura, and Kotennyo about what happened during the dinner. The two young gods and the lovely blue haired grim reaper felt really bad for her. Even though Jasmine was still pissed off at the old king, she was totally grateful for having a wonderful boyfriend like Koenma. She loved how he defended her honor and thought she should reward him for it the next time they were to see each other again.

Later that evening in King Yama's office, a shadowed man entered. Shadows obscured his face and he spoke to the king as he bowed, "You wanted so see me your majesty?"

King Yama looked at the man with a blank expression, "Yes I did."

The man stood back up, "What task do you have for me?"

The king continued to stare at the shadowed man and replied, "I want you to gather all the information you can on a human psychic called Jasmine Elizabeth Black."

The shadowed man bowed again, "Certainly your majesty, anything in particular?"

King Yama nodded, "Yes, I want you to gather all the information you can on her. Like her background, her family, friends, and whatever else. There is something familiar about that woman and I want to exploit it."

"Yes your majesty."

"Thank you, you are excused."

The shadowed man then stood back up and left the king's office. King Yama sat there and only one thought went through his head, "Son, what are you hiding from me?"

Over the next couple of months, things in the Demon World took a turn for the better. Instead of an impending war breaking out between Yomi and Mukuro, Yusuke suggested that there should be a tournament to determine who would be the one to rule Demon World nearly four months prior after Raizen passed away. Both still living demon kings adored the idea so, it was put into place. The first day of the preliminaries were to take place on the final Tuesday of May. Until then, the tournament arrangements were being planned.

While in the Human World, the college trio were preparing for their final exams at Mushiori University. Jasmine and Koenma still got to see each other but, understanding that his human lover needed her time to study; the prince either backed off or offered to study with her when he wasn't so busy with his paperwork. Jasmine was totally grateful for it and let Koenma be her study partner even though she said he didn't have to.

Stuff at the hospital on Jasmine's floor had been going great too. So far from the end of March to April, there were no deaths and Kuroko finally got her cast removed at the end of March. The former spirit detective had started her physical therapy and got to go to the Pearl Jam concert with her husband and kids in celebration. Dr. Murota gave her the good news saying that she should be up walking again within about a couple of months with three or four at most.

Jasmine was so happy for Kuroko but, she did miss her when she went home to her family. Kuroko still wanted to see the young demon hunter being grateful for her taking care of her while her leg healed. As promised, the former spirit detective brought Jasmine to her favorite sex shop so the young demon hunter can pick out something to surprise Koenma with for their next lovemaking session.

With how busy everyone was, Koenma and Jasmine haven't made love in three weeks which both lovers apologized to each other for their dry spell feeling guilty about it. Soon the final Tuesday of May arrived and Koenma, Botan, and Jorge all decided to go the Demon World to witness the first tournament in disguise.

Before leaving for Demon World, the Spirit World trio decided to make one pit stop. Botan landed her oar in front of the gates of Jasmine's apartment complex and Koenma pressed the button on the intercom.

Jasmine's voice could be heard on the other side, "Yes, how can I help you?"

Koenma pressed the button and replied, "Hello my queen."

The young demon hunter responded, "Hello Koenma. I thought you, Botan, and Jorge were going to Demon World to view that new tournament that's going start up."

Koenma chuckled, "I am but, I just wanted to swing by and tell you that I really want to come over after it's finished. I don't know when it'll wrap up but, I'll come by and surprise you when it does."

Jasmine giggled like a schoolgirl, "I am looking forward to it my prince. I love you."

"I love you too my queen. Have fun with Kotennyo, Shizuru, and your sister trying on bridesmaid dresses today and I'll see you when I get back."

The lovers then finished off their conversation bidding each other goodbye and to have fun with own their little endeavors. Koenma and Jorge both hopped on Botan's oar and flew into a gateway into the Demon World.

The three then flew up in the Demon Realm's sky for a few minutes and Koenma then asked the lovely grim reaper, "Where is this tournament going to be held?"

Botan shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know but, I think we should probably keep an eye out for a stadium."

The prince held onto his top hat of the new tuxedo costume he bought, making sure it doesn't fly off his head. The three passengers on the wooden oar kept a lookout for a stadium. After flying for a few minutes, Jorge then tapped his boss on his broad shoulder.

Still keeping his eye out for a stadium he then asked Jorge, "Yeah Ogre, what is it?"

Jorge then decided to come out and say what he was thinking of asking Koenma, "Koenma sir, can I ask you a question about your disguise?"

Koenma snapped his attention to Jorge and said, "Sure."

The blue ogre then asked the question that was wracking his brain since they left the Human World, "Your disguise is a very nice outfit but, I have to ask, did you buy that for Jasmine?"

Koenma stared at his servant and friend with a blank expression and replied, "That's none of your business Ogre. Do I ask you about if your disguise is for Christine? No."

Jorge sighed in annoyance, "Sorry I asked. You didn't need to get defensive about it."

The prince glared at the ogre, "How many times do I have to tell you that my love life is none of your business? Quit poking your blue nose into somewhere it doesn't belong."

"I wasn't Sir. Quit being a heartless ass."

Botan sighed getting annoyed by Koenma and Jorge and then barked at them, "Will you two stop arguing? Let's just try and get along. We'll have more fun if we do."

Just then Botan spotted at stadium that was full with many of the inhabitants of Demon World from all three territories. The grim reaper landed her oar in front of it and Koenma and Jorge hopped off. The blue haired grim reaper made it disappear and slipped on her glasses for her disguise.

She then asked her boss and friend, "So, where do you think Yusuke is?"

Koenma shrugged his broad shoulders, "I don't know. Let's go inside and look for him."

The Spirit World trio went inside the stadium. Meanwhile in the Human World, Jasmine then put on her coat and grabbed her black and white handbag. She then called out for Kotennyo, "Come on Kotennyo. We don't want to be late."

Kotennyo then walked out of the spare bedroom holding a paintbrush dripping with blue paint and placed into the kitchen sink. She grabbed her green handbag and slipped on her shoes, "Sorry about that, I kind of lost track of time."

Jasmine then asked her goddess friend, "How is your new masterpiece coming?"

Kotennyo smiled, "Great." Both young women shifted their attention to Koashura who was sitting on the recliner currently watching "The X-Files" while pigging out on cold pizza, "We'll see you when we get back."

Not tearing his red eyes away from the TV, Koashura replied to his lovely girlfriend, "Okay, you girls have fun. I love you dearest."

Kotennyo smiled, "I love you too."

She and Jasmine then walked out of the apartment and left the complex to head to the bus stop. They only waited for five minutes until the bus showed up and picked them both up. Both young women then sat down for the twenty minute ride to Sun Street.

Back in Demon World with Koenma and Botan, they both found their way around the stadium not noticing that they lost Jorge. They finally found a hallway that led to the arena walked out to see one large TV monitor in the center along with a stage.

Koenma and Botan then looked around at their surroundings. Botan then noticed, "Such a big fuss, they're half mad."

Koenma then responded, "Well it stands to reason with these cretins will get riled up over the slightest chance of blood. Through in the fate of the world and every demon who thinks they're worth a pickle will crawl out of the woodwork will make a fool of themselves." He then looked around and asked Botan, "Speaking of which, have you seen Yusuke?"

Both friends began to look around for the half demon ex-spirit detective. After looking around for what seemed like five minutes, until Botan spotted him in the crowd, "Ah, there he is."

Koenma then looked over to where Botan was pointing to. For the next few minutes they watched him speak with Mukuro who just removed her bandages to reveal her face in public for the first time and then Yomi and his cloned son, Shura.

Botan then asked while they still observed as Hiei and Kurama showed up to talk to Yusuke, "I wonder what they could be talking about."

The prince then replied, "Well, you'll have to keep wondering or we'll risk getting closer and being seen. Personally, I was wondering what Yusuke was thinking when he proposed this half hazarded scheme."

Botan then looked over at her boss and she said nearly cracking up, "Well Sir, if I know Yusuke as well as I think, he probably wasn't thinking much at all."

Koenma gave her a look of annoyance. Not at Botan but, for Yusuke. He then added, "That's what I'm afraid of."

The lovely blue haired grim reaper nodded in agreement. Then suddenly, Koenma realized he hadn't heard Jorge say anything else since they entered the stadium. He then looked around for his blue ogre servant and friend and asked Botan, "Um Botan."

Still observing Yusuke, she replied, "Yeah?"

Still looking for Jorge, Koenma then asked, "Have you seen Jorge?"

Botan shifted her attention back to Koenma and she too looked around and then realized that the ogre was indeed missing, "I don't know sir. Maybe he got lost."

The prince and the grim reaper were snapped back to reality when they heard one of the announcers from the Dark Tournament who's now the announcer for this tournament Koto say, "Hey I know you, you're that rapping ogre."

Hearing that Koenma then looked over to the announcer's booth and said out loud to Botan, "I'm going to kill him!"

Jorge then replied to Koto, "That's right, you can call me Jorge. How great is this, the two of us together again away from my heartless boss."

Then all the sudden Jorge sensed it. He could sense Koenma's aura and looked up at the top railing where he and Botan stood. The young prince formed a look of disgust and anger on his handsome face and one of his brown eyebrows twitched, "Ogre!"

Poor Jorge felt like he was really going to get his ass kicked and said to himself, "Don't just kill me now."

The blue ogre rushed up the staircase to the top railing and Koenma grabbed him by his trench coat and dragged him off to the side with Botan following them. Now out of earshot away from the big crowd of demons Koenma let go of his servant and crossed his long arms over his chest and glared at him, "Have you lost your last marble Ogre?! If anyone here finds out we're here from Spirit World, they'll chop our heads off."

Jorge then began to look guilty for his stupidity, "But I have a great voice."

Koenma then shook his head and sighed and deciding not to make things worse, he didn't yell at Jorge but instead he chose not to say anything. Like at the Dark Tournament when Jorge forced him onstage to sing, he began to feel that Jorge betrayed his trust again. Seeing the look on his boss's face, Jorge then began to feel guilty.

Now realizing what he did was stupid and wrong, Jorge then decided that he should apologize, "Koenma sir?"

Koenma let out a loud exhale, "What?"

The blue ogre walked up to him and his hand on his shoulder and Koenma looked over at him and he said, "What you just did Ogre…I can't believe you'd betray my trust again. Now, I feel like the only person I can trust is Jasmine and she's not here."

Botan then stared at him with a blank expression on her face and asked, "What about me? I didn't do anything to betray you."

"Sorry Botan, I didn't mean you."

Feeling a shred of remorse, Jorge then decided to apologize, "Sir, I'm sorry I did that. It was really stupid of me and I swear I will not do it again."

Koenma looked over to him, shook his head and sighed, "Okay, I forgive you but, if you do that again, you will receive a really bad punishment and I'll let Jasmine decide what it is. Do you understand?"

Jorge nodded, "Yeah, if I do something that stupid again, then it's okay for you and Jasmine to punish me."

Botan shook her head and said to the two men or one god and ogre, "Good, now you guys have that settled that, let's get back to what we came here to do."

Back in the Human World in Mushiori City, Jasmine and Kotennyo arrived at their stop on Sun Street and hurried off the bus. They walked down the street for less than a block and walked up to a very stylish bridal shop where Shizuru, Caroline and two girls that Jasmine did recognize were already there waiting for them.

As they approached the entrance, Caroline brightly smiled at her sister and the young goddess, "You two are just on time."

The demon hunter sisters embraced each other and parted seconds later, "We almost didn't make it because we ran into traffic on the way over."

Looking at the bridal shop, Kotennyo then commented, "Wow Carol, you really have great taste. I was kind of worried that we would be at one of those really bad ones with those poufy cupcake dresses."

Caroline chuckled at Kotennyo's words, "I'm not one of those sadistic brides that likes to see their wedding party suffer. A wedding is supposed to be a happy and fun occasion not only for the bride and groom but, for everyone. Oh, how silly of me. Jasmine, Kotennyo, Shizuru, let me introduce you to these two awesome ladies."

The blonde demon hunter cleared her throat and began her introduction first gesturing to a tall pretty Japanese young woman with long black hair pulled back in a French braid, pretty brown eyes, wearing shorts and a tank top and a cool tattoo on her right shoulder, "This is my best friend, sorority sister and my maid of honor Setsuna Haruna. Setsuna this is my sister Jasmine and her best college friend Kotennyo and our best friend from high school, Shizuru Kuwabara."

Jasmine shook hands with her, "Nice to meet you Setsuna. Are you related to a Kasumi Haruna?"

Setsuna nodded and shook hands with all three young women, "Nice to meet you all and yes, Kasumi is my aunt."

Caroline then introduced the next young Japanese woman with short brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a halter top midriff and blue jeans and a belly button ring, "Last but not least, this is my other best friend, fellow sorority sister and your fellow bridesmaid Usagi Tenou."

Usagi gave them a polite nod, "It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Jasmine shook hands with her too, "Likewise."

The girls let go of each other's hands and went inside the bridal shop. Looking around, Jasmine, Kotennyo, and Shizuru brightly smiled looking at all the dress displays. The wedding gowns, flower girl dresses, and the bridesmaid dresses were all very beautiful, hip, and stylish.

Caroline sweetly giggled at her sister's and two friends' reactions, "Like what you see?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yeah. I can't wait to try some of these on."

The blond Alaskan psychic smiled, "Good, there are all kinds of cool styles to choose from. I'll let you guys vote which ones you like best and if I feel it will go along to compliment my wedding dress, then that'll be your dresses."

The six young women approached the front desk and the ordinary human who is sales woman looked up from her computer and brightly smiled, "Hello how can I help you young ladies?"

Caroline spoke, "Hi, my name is Caroline Black and me and my girls have an appointment."

The sales woman then opened up the appointment schedule on her computer, "Ah Black. Are you the bride?"

Caroline nodded, "Yes ma'am. I have an alteration for my wedding gown and a fitting for my maid of honor and my bridesmaids."

Looking at her schedule the sales woman smiled, "Okay, right this way please."

The ordinary human stood up and guided the six young women to the show room that had many fitting rooms. She politely bowed to Caroline, "Haruka will be with you in five minutes."

She then left the demon hunter sisters, Kotennyo, Shizuru, and the two ordinary human college sorority girls in the spacious show room. The six girls then began to talk to each other while they waited for their sales associate/seamstress.

Five minutes later, a tall beautiful Japanese woman wearing a nice women's pant suit and her black hair done up in a bun, carrying a clip board walked into the show room. She politely bowed to the six young women and then asked, "Which one of you is the bride?"

Caroline answered, "That'll be me."

She then shook hands with her, "I'm Caroline Black and these are my girls Jasmine, Shizuru, Kotennyo, Setsuna, and Usagi."

Haruka the sales woman/seamstress politely nodded, "Nice to meet you all. Miss Black right this way."

Caroline then followed her to one of the fitting rooms. Ten minutes later, the blond demon hunter emerged wearing her beautiful strapless satin wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline that made her curvy figure look amazing. Caroline formed a bright smile on her pretty face, "What do you girls think?"

The maid of honor and all four bridesmaids smiled. Jasmine then complimented her sister, "You look great sis. I love it. Raito is not going to take his eyes off of you."

Kotennyo nodded, "I like it too. I would totally wear that."

Shizuru nodded in agreement, "Me too. So Carol, are you going to want us all to wear satin dress too?"

Caroline nodded, "Yes ma'am. Before I turn you girls loose to look for a satin dress, I should tell you what the wedding colors are."

All of the girls gave her their undivided attention and then Caroline once again spoke, "Mine and Raito's colors are pink and blue. We are only using bubblegum pink with two shades of blue. Royal blue and cornflower blue. Now the color I want you all to wear is cornflower blue. Keep in mind; we have to order the dresses in that color so, don't fret while you're looking a dress and you can't find it. The only things I want you ladies to remember is that the dress has to be satin. It doesn't matter which length or cut it is. We'll all take a vote on that later. Just have fun and pick whatever style you want. Also, after you pick out which styles you want, we will all decide on who wants to model them. I was thinking of having three models while me and the other two decide if we like the dress or not."

Jasmine smiled at her sister, "Sound great."

Caroline then turned her sister, Shizuru, Kotennyo, and her sorority sisters loose to look for a satin dress that would compliment her wedding dress.

Several hours later in Demon World, the tournament was finally in full swing. The preliminaries were almost over and the vast majority of the groups had already determined their winners. Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and a few of the six Dark Tournament fighter with the exception of Chu due to him falling in love with one of Raizen's old friends Natsumi, who were among them.

Up on the top railing of the stadium, Koenma, Jorge, and Botan were debating whether or not they should go down and talk to Yusuke. The final preliminary match between Yomi and his son Shura had commenced. After looking at the video screen for minute, Koenma, Jorge, and Botan began to talk amongst themselves again.

Botan then sighed at her boss's stubbornness, "I know you don't want us to be seen but, I still think it won't hurt to go down and talk to Yusuke."

Jorge nodded in agreement, "Yeah, as long as we wear the masks or glasses of our disguises we'll be just fine."

The prince rolled his brown eyes and sighed, "The answer is still no."

"Well, it's two against one Koenma sir."

"Ogre do you want me to hurt you?"

Tired of their bickering, Botan then came up with a brilliant idea to get Koenma to cooperate. She then suggested, "Okay, I know how we should settle this, why don't we play rock-paper-scissors. Best two out of three."

Knowing that she wasn't going to let up, Koenma sighed, "Okay, fine. But, if I win, we stay put."

The three then started their little rock-paper-scissors game and five minutes later, Jorge won with rock. The young prince sighed. He then put on his top hat and his white mask while Jorge and Botan put on their glasses. The Spirit World trio then began to walk down the staircase to the crowd below, carefully wading through the demon crowd.

Finally, they spotted Yusuke deep in conversation with Raizen's former second in command and monk leader Hokushin. Deciding to sneak up on him for old time's sake, Koenma tapped Jorge and Botan on the shoulder. He then whispered to them, "Why don't we sneak up on him. You know like back in the good ol' days. Let me be the one to do the talking."

Jorge and Botan began to snicker at the prince's suggestion. They adored the idea. Koenma took began to softly laugh at those memories and they three began to laugh for about a minute. They then regained their composure and began to carefully wade through the demon crowd again.

Now directly behind his former spirit detective and the demon monk, Koenma then said jokingly to him, "Alright palie, come with me."

Hearing the voice behind him, Yusuke and Hokushin both turned around. After staring at each other for a minute Koenma then said, "Well?"

Yusuke raised an eyebrow at the costumed trio and asked, "What sideshow act let you three out?"

The prince then chuckled and removed his mask almost cracking up at what he just did, "Come on Yusuke you can't see through a simple disguise?"

Recognizing his former boss, Yusuke then blurted out, "Koenma?"

Hokushin raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, "Weirdos."

"It's been a long time." Botan chimed in.

"No see." Jorge then added.

Completely dumbstruck, Yusuke then asked, "But why are you three here?"

Koenma then began to lie to cover his tracks, "We are as curious as anyone to know who's going to unify Demon World."

Both Botan and Jorge knew their young boss was talking out of his ass and Jorge then responded, "Don't include us on your lie."

"If I remember correctly, you were looking for any excuse to wear your new costume. Weren't you Koenma?"

Koenma then glared at Botan and Jorge for what they both said to him and retorted by yelling, "Will you two be quiet, I had just about enough!"

Finally figuring out what Koenma, Botan, and Jorge were doing, Yusuke decided to joke right back, "It doesn't matter why you came, you better keep your costumes on. Or the Mazoku will discover what you are and take an early lunch."

Botan, Koenma, and Jorge knew damn well he was joking and decided to play along with Botan starting first, "Ah! Please don't want to be lunch!"

"Mazoku scares Jorge."

Having way too much fun, Koenma then chimed in, "Fear not you two. Stick by my side and all will be fine."

"That's my prince."

"My hero."

"And we will all stick close to Yusuke."

Realizing their friend and boss took the joke too far, Botan and Jorge fell over and facepalmed. Yusuke raised an eyebrow at Koenma and Hokushin interrupted, "Something's happening."

Yusuke then shifted his attention to the TV screen as did Koenma, Jorge and Botan when they got up off the ground. After watching the fight for ten more minutes, Botan and Jorge decided that they were getting bored and the blue ogre then asked the young prince, "Hey Koenma, do you want to go for a walk or something. It seems like that fight isn't going to end very soon."

After staring at the TV screen for ten more minutes, Koenma decided he was too getting bored and shrugged his shoulders, "Sure why not?"

He then shifted his attention back to Yusuke who was still watching the fight and tapped him on the shoulder. The former spirit detective looked over his shoulder and said, "Yeah Pacifier Breath?"

Koenma sighed at the comment and decided to ignore it, "It was good to see you again Yusuke."

Yusuke gave the prince a small smile, "Right back at ya. You guys have fun and be careful."

Koenma slipped his mask back on, "We will and take it easy. I have a feeling that some of these fights are going to be the most challenging you've ever faced."

The half demon chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Hell, I realize that I'm more than likely not going to win this thing and I'm okay with that. There are better and stronger fighters here so, they have a better chance at winning than I do."

Koenma and Yusuke finished off their conversation and then gave each other curt nods and the Spirit World Trio then began their peaceful walk around the arena. Later on that afternoon in the Human World, Jasmine, her sister's sorority sisters, Shizuru, and Kotennyo had finished picking out the many different styles of satin bridesmaids dresses they could find with the help of their sales associate Haruka.

All the girls now sat in the show room after Caroline changed back into her jeans, tank top, and pink cardigan. They all sat down finishing off their lunch of sub sandwiches, chips, and cookies that the blond Alaskan demon hunter went out and bought for them while the rest of the girls were searching for which dresses they wanted to try on.

Shizuru gathered up everyone's trash and deposited it into the nearest trashcan and rejoined her friends. The older Kuwabara sibling took a sip from her soda bottle and then asked, "Who wants to model these awesome dresses?"

Caroline's maid of honor, Setsuna raised her hand as did Jasmine and Shizuru shrugged her shoulders and figured why not and raised her hand too. Caroline counted and smiled, "Great. So that'll leave Kotennyo and Usagi to help me judge."

Jasmine, Setsuna, and Shizuru all each picked up a different style dress and walked into a fitting room. Ten minutes later the three young women emerged from their fitting rooms wearing the dresses. Jasmine, Setsuna, and Shizuru walked to the center of the show room.

Caroline, Kotennyo, and Usagi looked at each girl curiously. Caroline then spoke up, "Shizuru can you step up please and slowly turn around so I can have a better look at you."

Shizuru stepped up wearing a tight long dress with a sweetheart neckline and did what Caroline asked her to do. The blond psychic shook he head, "I don't like it. It doesn't go well with you figure or anyone else's here. Jasmine might pull it off but, I'm afraid she's the only one that could. Kotennyo, Usagi, what do you two think?"

Both young women shook their heads and the young goddess added, "I don't like it either."

"Same here."

Shizuru nodded in agreement, "I don't like it either. I don't like how it fits on my body."

Caroline smiled, "Thanks for your input Shizuru. Okay, Setsuna let me see your dress."

Setsuna stepped forward wearing a strapless A-line dress with a sweetheart neck line that went down to her knees and did the same thing Shizuru did. Caroline then commented, "This one is much better. How do you feel Setsuna?"

Setsuna shrugged her shoulders, "I like it. It's very comfortable."

The blond demon hunter then asked Kotennyo and Usagi, "How do you two feel about it?"

Usagi then commented, "I don't like it. It's not really my style."

Kotennyo examined the dress for a moment and put in her opinion, "I like the bottom but, I am afraid that my big boobs might fall out of the top. Besides I'm not too fond of strapless dresses. Sorry, I don't mean to bum you guys out."

Both Jasmine and Caroline knew what Kotennyo was talking about and seeing her nervous expression, Caroline then put her hand on the goddess's shoulder. Kotennyo looked up at her to see the blond smiling at her. Caroline then thought of a great solution to cover up Kotennyo's scar, "Hey Kotennyo, it's okay; you're not bumming anyone out. Tell you what, why don't you wear a cute little jacket with your dress. You know kind of like the one I have for my wedding dress. Would you feel comfortable with that?"

Kotennyo smiled at the young human bride's generosity and nodded, "Yeah, I would love that. Thank you Caroline."

"It's no problem." She then shifted her attention back to her sorority sister, "Setsuna, do you want that as your maid of honor dress?"

Setsuna thought about it for a minute and then checked the price tag and replied, "Yeah. I love it and it's also in my price range."

Caroline clapped her hands together, "Great. Okay, now onto the rest of you girls. Jasmine can you step forward?"

Jasmine stepped forward wearing a cute little tea length dress that went just below her knees with wide pretty looking wavy straps and slowly spun around to let everyone see her in it. Looking at her younger sister, Caroline's eyes widened, "Oh Jasmine you look so beautiful in that dress."

Usagi nodded in agreement, "Oh definitely and I totally see myself wearing that."

Kotennyo brightly smiled at her best human friend, "Oh me too. What I like the most about it is how it flatters your petite figure. I would so wear that. Koashura would go nuts if he saw me in that dress. Hell, Jasmine, Koenma would too seeing you in that."

Caroline then asked her sister, "How do you feel Jasmine?"

Jasmine looked at herself in the mirror and liked what she saw, "I really like this. Everything Kotennyo said about it flattering my figure is very true. Oh man, I can picture myself wearing this after the wedding. That is how much I like it."

The blond psychic then asked Shizuru, "What about you Shizuru. We need your input. If you don't like it, we can try another dress."

Shizuru then took a good look at Jasmine and smiled, "I like it. Before I make my decision, Jasmine may I try that on?"

Jasmine nodded, "Sure."

She and Shizuru ran back over to the fitting room. Jasmine changed back into her sweater and jeans and Shizuru walked back out in the dress.

Caroline then asked her fellow psychic, "Shizuru how do you feel?"

Shizuru looked at herself in the mirror and said with a bright smile, "You know what. I don't think we need to try on any more dresses. I really like this. I love how my figure looks in it. Kotennyo do you want to try it on next?"

Kotennyo thought about for a moment being very hesitant to the idea and then Caroline asked Haruka the sales associate/seamstress, "May I see the bridesmaid jackets please?"

Haruka nodded, "Certainly."

She then left to walk back to the bridesmaid section and came back with satin bridesmaid jackets of all colors and styles. Caroline then asked her goddess friend, "Which one do you like best?"

Kotennyo looked at the bridesmaid jackets and pointed at a red one with the design she felt would go along with the dress, "That one."

Haruka handed the jacket to her and she and Shizuru went into the fitting room. Shizuru came back out after she changed back into her street clothes. They all waited for Kotennyo and the young goddess walked back out wearing the dress with the jacket.

All the girls brightly smiled at her. Jasmine then asked her, "How do you feel?"

Kotennyo looked at herself in the mirror and loved what she saw, "I like it. My boobs aren't falling out, it makes my figure look awesome and I love the jacket with it. Yeah, I want this dress."

Caroline smiled, "So, is everyone comfortable with it? Are we certain that this is the dress that everyone wants?"

Jasmine, Shizuru, Kotennyo, and Usagi all said, "Yes."

A few minutes later, everyone change back into their street clothes and all of the girls paid for their dresses. All six young women left the bridal shop thanking Caroline for their fun day. Everyone in Caroline's bridal party including Jasmine, Shizuru, and Kotennyo were all grateful for the blond demon hunter's kind generosity when it came to picking out their dresses. They all couldn't wait until they all get their dresses and wear then on the wedding day.

Two days later in Demon World, the main tournament was finally in full swing. The preliminary matches ended with Yomi winning his match against his cloned son Shura. Yusuke won his first match against a cat demon called Nekotama while the rest of the Dark Tournament fighters lost theirs. But, even though they lost their matches, they did make a new friend/fighting buddy in their new opponents.

Koenma, Jorge, and Botan continued to have a good time watching and talking about the matches as well as joking around with Rinku over his crush on a monkey girl called Sasuga. One fight after another wrapped up. With each passing minute, hour, and day, it seemed to be getting closer to finding out who would be the supreme ruler of Demon World.

The ones who showed great promise seemed to be Yusuke, Hokushin, Raizen's friends, Yomi, Mukuro and even Kurama who just won his match against Shugure. Hiei had already lost to Mukuro and he seemed fine with it especially since he just released her from her shackles basically giving each other as the reason they both have to live for.

Now it was Yusuke and Yomi going head to head. So far, this current battle seemed to go well. Koenma, Botan, and Jorge all seemed very impressed on how well the former spirit detective seemed have improved with his strength and power level. Since the start of the match, the crowd was divided on who cheered on Yusuke or Yomi. Jorge had gotten too loud multiple times and Koenma had to yell at him to get him to shut up saying how they should still not let themselves stick out.

During the fight, Yusuke realized that or more like thought that he didn't have a reason to fight for anymore. When he admitted that, it pissed off Yomi and the former King of Gandera began to beat the former spirit detective mercilessly. After getting beaten by Yomi for a little bit, it dawned on Yusuke why he went to the Demon World in the first place. As it turned out, that reason was Keiko. He left her behind because he felt it would benefit her and the rest of his friends and loved ones.

The fight went on with Yusuke firing shots from his demon gun and Yomi blocking the attacks with his energy shield. The entire crowd with the inclusion of Koenma, Botan, and Jorge just watched. After firing his energy for minutes on end, all the sudden Yusuke's energy then turned into something different. It was as if his spirit and demon energy were mixing with each other. It began to break through Yomi's shield which surprised the old king who had thought his energy shield was unbreakable.

Everyone in the stadium watched the TV monitor in awe. Soon, Yusuke spirit energy overpowered his demon energy and completely destroyed Yomi's shield. Throughout the rest of the battle, Yusuke and the former king seemed to enjoy fighting each other saying that fighting each other was just as good as fighting Raizen. Soon it had gotten to the point of them getting so exhausted that that they felt they needed to give each other the finishing blow. Long story short, Yomi was the one who won when Yusuke blacked out and the former king stood when his son called out for him.

One week later, the tournament had finally wrapped up and Yusuke didn't find out that it did until he woke up in his hospital bed. Why Kurama and the six Dark Tournament fighters brought him out to the arena, he found out who won. As it turned out, the winner wound up being Enki, one of Raizen's old friends. Enki then announced that he would only make one new law that stated that there would be no more mischief in the Human World and also how his term will only be for three years.

Yusuke was okay with how things turned out and soon everyone left the stadium to go back to their own lives. While Yusuke was leaving that was when he bumped into Koenma again.

The prince spoke which got the former spirit detective's attention, "Happy with yourself Yusuke?"

Yusuke walked down to the stage and stood face to face with his former boss and Koenma continued, "You realize you took a serious gamble arranging this tournament. If another demon had won, all three worlds would have been plunged into a war of unspeakable horror."

Yusuke then smiled and said, "Look on the bright side that's not what happened is it?"

"You idiot."

The former spirit detective looked taken back from that comment. Koenma then continued his rant, "Once again, you didn't use your brain. You acted on heart and dumb instinct. In fact, all of you did."

The prince then sighed and then admitted, "Somehow it worked. Without you Kurama and Hiei fighting on emotions alone, this piece wouldn't have happened. Yusuke, what you managed to do was…"

"Spare me the gratitude. Like you said, I wasn't thinking."

Koenma couldn't believe his ears. Did Yusuke just admit how much of an idiot he was? It dawned on the prince that his ex-spirit detective did and Yusuke then continued, "So my punching Yomi out of the race and me powering up to get the others to max out before the final round. That's nothing I could have known, I was just fighting. That's just the kind of guy I am. I can't take thanks for it."

Koenma slightly chuckled, "I understand Yusuke. You two could still live a thousand lifetimes and never run out of things to fight about. That's what makes hanging out with you so much fun, I'll miss it." He then briefly switched to his toddler form with him floating in the air and said, "As for your detective gig, your firing is permanent."

Yusuke smiled, "That's good. I was just about to tell you, I quit."

"I guess our next meeting will be more formal"

"Right, when my time comes, just make sure you have space for me next time."

Koenma smiled behind his pacifier and nodded, "Sure."

Yusuke then turned to leave but, deciding to crack one last joke at his former boss he then said jokingly, "Who knows, maybe by then you might be out of your diaper phase."

Hearing that, Koenma then glared at him and Yusuke started laughing and then ran off. The prince then switched back to his tall and handsome adult form and just slightly chuckled thinking to himself, "Some things never change. See you around Yusuke."

Just then Botan and Jorge showed up and Koenma said to Botan, "Well, I'd say that's a good end to a detective's career."

The lovely blue haired grim reaper then asked her boss, "What should we do with all of the footage we compiled Sir?"

"Package it"

Just then Jorge decided to do his own narration as Yusuke then ran into the corridor that led out of the stadium, "And so indeed, Yusuke's journey as a spirit detective is done. What lies ahead as he grows from boy to man? Not even the supposedly wise Koenma could know that."

Koenma then glared at his ogre servant and friend and then grumbled, "I won't give you the narrator job if you annoy me."

Jorge then started laughing at his own stupidity, "Sorry about that Sir. I just couldn't resist."

Koenma then shook his head and Botan then asked, "So are we ready to leave or do you both want to stay a little longer?"

The prince shifted his attention to the grim reaper, "No, let's go. There isn't anything else for us to do. Besides, I promised Jasmine that I would come see her when the tournament was over. She wants me to tell her about it."

Botan summoned her wooden oar and nodded with understanding. She, Jorge and Koenma then hopped on it and flew up into the Demon World sky into a gateway to the Human World. In Mushiori City, Jasmine sat down on the leather couch alone in her apartment. Koashura and Kotennyo wanted to go out and have some fun as a couple together and let their human friend know that they wouldn't be back until tomorrow afternoon when they were to come back from their little camping trip.

Jasmine chuckled to herself and shook her head. Ever since they moved into her apartment nearly two years before, they have wanted to go on their own fishing/camping trip after listening to the Alaskan demon hunter's childhood stories of going fishing and camping with her family and her childhood friends.

Jasmine sat there watching her one her favorite Disney movies "The Little Mermaid" and for some reason, Ariel reminded her of Koenma. Speaking of her loving boyfriend, she was beginning to wonder if he was okay. He hasn't called her or even tried to contact her in over a week since he went to the Demon World Tournament with Jorge and Botan.

The demon hunter then began to wonder if he, Jorge, and Botan were okay and didn't run into any trouble while they were there. "Oh Koenma please let you, Botan, and Jorge be okay. I know that Demon World is dangerous and I just hope no harm came to you guys while you were there."

Just then, her apartment's intercom then buzzed. Jasmine then got up from the leather couch and wondered who would be there. She then pressed the button, "Yes, how can I help you?"

The deep luscious voice of her royal lover then responded, "Hello my queen. I'm sorry I haven't contacted you all week."

Jasmine smiled relieved to know that Koenma was okay, "That's okay. How was it?"

"Can you let me come up so I can tell you?"

Jasmine smiled, "Sure." She then pushed the second button to let him through the gate and Koenma showed up at her door seconds later. He then knocked and Jasmine opened the door to see him dressed in his tuxedo costume with his mask and top hat on.

Looking at him, Jasmine felt he literally took her breath away. Seeing her reaction, Koenma removed his pacifier and deciding to make her laugh then said, "Did someone wish their prince would come? Never fear, your prince charming is here."

Jasmine started laughing and after regaining her composure she then replied, "Come in Prince Charming."

Koenma walked into her apartment and Jasmine shut and locked the door behind him. He then gently pulled the young psychic in for a deep and passionate kiss. Jasmine moaned as she deepened the kiss, slipping her tongue into her lover's mouth and caressed his with hers.

Koenma deeply moaned. Oh how he missed this. He missed holding her in his strong arms and kissing her soft pink lips. They then parted after a minute and the prince gazed into his lover's eyes. Jasmine then said breathlessly, "I missed you."

"I missed you too my queen. I wish you would have went to Demon World with me."

They then broke their embrace and Koenma removed his top hat and mask and he and Jasmine sat down on the leather couch. Looking at all of the video tapes of Disney movies scattered on the wooden coffee table, he then asked the young demon hunter, "Having a movie marathon?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yeah, I watched the vast majority of them before you showed up. I was almost finished with "The Little Mermaid"." She then took a sip from her glass of water and looking around the apartment, Koenma asked, "Where's Koashura and Kotennyo?"

"They decided to go out on their own little camping trip. They have been planning it since we came back from Spring Break. So, that means we have the apartment to ourselves all night."

Jasmine took another sip from her water cup and placed it on her coffee table and then asked Koenma with genuine interest, "How was Demon World?"

He then slipped his pacifier into his pocket and replied, "Surprisingly it was great. Bumped into Yusuke while we were there. The funny is, is that he's doing well. In fact, he was the one who arranged the tournament."

"That's good, I'm glad to hear that. So who won?"

Gazing into her large brown eyes he then replied, "One of King Raizen's old friends. Enki so, he's now the new ruler of Demon World. Well, for only three years."

Jasmine finished off her water, "Wow, so that tournament is basically like a presidential election?"

Koenma chuckled and nodded, "Yeah I guess you can say that."

The college bound demon hunter then got up and walked over to the kitchen and put her empty water cup in the dishwasher and started it up. She walked back into the living room and then complemented her lover, "You look so handsome in that costume."

Koenma smiled at her compliment, "Thank you Jasmine."

She then slowly walked towards him, climbed up onto his lap, gently cupped his face her hands and kissed him deeply. Seconds later, she broke the kiss and gazed into his brown eyes. Koenma could feel his cock getting hard seeing the naughty gleam he loved in Jasmine's eyes.

"I have a surprise for you. I have wanted to show you for a while. Wait here."

Jasmine climbed off his lap and walked into her bedroom and shut the door behind her. Koenma waited with excitement bubbling up inside him. He wondered what the surprise was and Jasmine's bedroom door opened and she walked out into the living room wearing a black see through baby doll with black lace topped thigh high stockings and a black thong.

Looking at her, the prince felt his cock getting harder and remarked, "So beautiful."

Before Jasmine could reply, Koenma then got up and took her by surprise lifting her up into his strong arms holding her bridal style. The young demon hunter giggled like a schoolgirl, "You animal."

Koenma started laughing, "Well it's been three weeks since the last time we made love. Oh Jasmine I have wanted this for what seemed like decades."

He began to carry her to her bedroom but she stopped him by saying, "Hey stop."

"What's wrong?"

She giggled again, "Nothing's wrong. I just want you to wear the top hat."

Koenma burst out laughing at her request and replied when he stopped, "Okay, whatever floats your boat."

He carried her back into the living room and Jasmine grabbed it from where it was sitting on the coffee table. She set it on his head and gazed into his eyes, "So sexy."

The prince chuckled at her comment, "Why thank you my queen. Do you want me to wear it while we make love?"

Jasmine eagerly nodded her head up and down as in a yes. Koenma laughed again and carried his lover into her bedroom and before he could shut the door, Jasmine then suggested, "You don't have to close that. It's just us tonight."

Koenma raised one of his brown eyebrows and shrugged his broad shoulders, "Okay."

He then gently placed her on her bed and removed his black cloak, his shoes and his socks. The prince climbed in bed with his lover and brought their lips back together in a hot and passionate kiss. They both moaned like animals in heat being so hot and horny for each other from not having sex for the last three weeks.

Koenma laid Jasmine down on the bed and broke their passionate lip lock to trail soft kisses onto her neck. Jasmine let out a deep groan feeling his lips brush that sensitive spot once again.

"Oh Koenma." She moaned at the feeling of him kissing, nipping and sucking on that sensitive milky white flesh.

He quit sucking on her neck to start trail soft hot kisses to her collarbone. When he gently nipped that area he groaned, "Jasmine."

Jasmine felt she was on fire with wanting need as her handsome and sexy prince trailed more soft kisses onto her chest to in between her small perky breasts. Oh god was this turning her on with her body heating up and her pussy getting wet.

Seeing her erect pink nipples poking through the black mesh fabric of the baby doll, Koenma licked his lips. He so desperately wanted to lick them, suck on them, and play with his lover's beautiful breasts. He then moved the mesh breast cup off to the side to reveal the breast with its pink nipple pointing up at him.

The young god then leaned in and licked it, swirling his tongue around it. Koenma then took Jasmine's nipple into his mouth and began to gently suck on it while he massaged her still clothed breast with his hand.

"Ohhhhhh…my prince."

Jasmine shut her eyes moaning and enjoying the feeling of her lover playing with her breasts. After a little bit, Koenma then switched over to the other, pushed the mesh breast cup off to the side and began to give that breast the same treatment while he massaged the other breast and played with that nipple some more.

Jasmine gasped at his touch. Still sucking on her hardened pink nipple, he then guided his hand underneath her black thong, over her mound, through her soft brown hair and parting her pussy lips. Jasmine once again gasped when he gently rubbed her clit and then inserted that same finger inside her wet pussy.

The demon hunter moaned and Koenma quit sucking on her breast and watched her reactions. He licked his lips and seeing her writhe in pleasure from his touch was such a turn on for him. Jasmine opened her eyes to see him smirking at her.

He then said in a husky voice, "I can feel you're not wet enough yet. I know how to fix that."

Jasmine felt herself getting so turned on to him talking dirty to her. Her juices coated his long finger that he was slowly pumping inside her rubbing against her sweet spot. Jasmine loudly moaned and then cried out in protest when Koenma removed his hand from her panties.

Jasmine sat up and swept her baby doll over her head and threw it to the floor and laid down on the bed. Koenma then removed her thong and tossed it off to the side and began to trail soft kisses up her leg to her inner thigh. When he started to tease that sensitive flesh again, the young psychic began to beg, "Koenma please."

He licked his luscious lips and hearing plea; he then gently parted her pussy lips and leaned in giving it a gentle lick. Koenma then continued to lick her up in long slow licks tasting and savoring her juices.

"Mmmmmm…oh Jasmine you taste so good."

Hearing him say that really turned her on and she clenched onto the sheets below her. Jasmine really writhed in pleasure when the prince licked up to her clit, circled his tongue around it and gently licked it.

"Oh Koenma."

Oh how he missed hearing her moan out his name and he wanted to make her moan and cry out more. It was such music to his ears. He loved pleasuring and kissing this woman and hearing her say his name and how much she loves him during these tender and heated moments.

He then took her throbbing clit into his mouth and began to gently suck on it. Jasmine moans went up an octave from the pleasure it brought. She clenched onto the sheets below her and writhed back.

After a few moments and wanting to make her cum hard and have her really scream, Koenma gently inserted two of his long fingers inside her dripping wet pussy and began to gently pump them in and out.

"Oh my god! Yes!"

Jasmine felt a jolt of pleasure feeling him rub against the right spot over and over again. Her breathing grew deeper and shallow as Koenma continued to suck on her clit and pump his fingers inside her, her juices coating them.

Her moans grew louder and lewder and feeling close to her climax, Jasmine began to beg, "K…Koenma please."

She looked down to see the dark seductive look in his brown eyes feeling her body heat up from it. Koenma granted her wish, gently increasing the pressure on her clit, sucking harder and pumping his long fingers faster going deeper each time.

Jasmine laid back down and clenched onto the sheets tighter and she breathed deep and labored. After a few moments, overwhelming pleasure washed over her human body and she cried out her lover's name as she came releasing her juice on his fingers and mouth, "KOENMA!"

Jasmine laid there breathing heavily coming down from the intense orgasm her prince just gave her and after regaining her strength, she sat up to see him lick her juices off his luscious lips.

The young Alaskan psychic then spread her legs for him and said in a low seductive voice, "Please make love to me my prince. I can't wait any longer."

Koenma gave her a wicked smile as he removed his top hat, untied the red bandana from around his forehead, removed his red bowtie, and unbuttoned his shirt. Jasmine felt herself getting turned on more and more gazing at his gorgeous body. Koenma then slipped out of his pants and his boxers freeing his throbbing erection.

He put his top hat back on and crawled back into his lover's bed. He looked over at her nightstand and seeing three individually wrapped condoms sitting on it, he grabbed on and tore open the packet. Koenma deposited the empty packet into the small trash bin by Jasmine's bed. He then slipped the condom over his cock and positioned himself at the entrance of Jasmine's wet pussy.

Gazing into her eyes he began to tease her with the tip of his cock and Jasmine then once again begged, "Koenma please. Please make love to me."

The prince then nuzzled her nose, "As you wish my queen."

He then brought their lips together in another hot and passionate kiss as he pushed his cock into his lover's tight wet pussy. Jasmine moaned into kiss and felt herself getting wetter tasting herself in it.

Koenma then began to thrust his rock hard cock slowly inside her as he deepened the kiss. Jasmine then broke the kiss and moaned, "Ahhhhh…oh Koenma."

"Jasmine." He groaned back."

The young woman then moved her head back to face him and wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders. The lovers gazed into each other's eyes as Koenma continued to slowly thrust into his woman making her moan.

"Does that feel good?"

"Ohhhhhh…yeah."

Jasmine then began to buck her hips in time with her prince's slow and pleasurable thrusts. Keeping the same slow and pleasurable pace, Koenma then groaned, "Oh Jasmine. I love you."

"Ahhhh…I love you too my prince."

Oh how they missed this. Being in each other's arms and gazing into each other's eyes while they shared this soft, slow, and intimate lovemaking. Jasmine then shut her large brown eyes arched her neck back once more. Koenma softly kissed her neck and Jasmine then gasped, "Harder. Faster, Deeper."

"Yes my queen."

He gladly obliged to her request as he thrusted his rock hard cock going at a faster and harder pace, going deeper, little by little each time. Meeting his new fast and hard pace, Jasmine's moans and whimpers grew louder and lewder as did Koenma's.

"Ah Jasmine, you feel so good."

Feeling a surge of pleasure, Jasmine then loudly groaned and brought up one of her hands and used her long fingernails to scratch Koenma's bare back drawing a little bit of blood. The prince groaned getting pleasure from the small amount of pain that it brought and began to thrust his cock harder into his woman's pussy.

Jasmine brought her head back to face him and wrapped her legs around his slender waist to bring him closer to her. They gazed into each other's brown eyes and kissed deeply and passionately once more, tongues caressing each other's.

Both lovers moaned into the kiss. They were enjoying this. Enjoying how this lovemaking session was very loving, passionate, and intimate. Feeling close to cumming, Jasmine broke the kiss and then asked her prince, "Are you close?"

Feeling his body shiver, Koenma nodded, "Yes."

They kissed once again as Koenma and Jasmine both moved faster and harder as fast and hard as they could go. Sweat running down their naked bodies and breaking the kiss, they gently pressed their foreheads against each other gazing into each other's brown eyes once again.

After a few moments, Jasmine then came crying out her lover's name with her climax, "KOENMA!"

Shortly after her, Koenma then cried out in ecstasy with his climax, "OH JASMINE!"

The lovers held each other in their arms for a few moments recovering from the intense orgasm they both shared. A minute later, Koenma then withdrew his cock from Jasmine's pussy and removed the used condom and deposited it into the trash bin by the bed. Still wearing his top hat, he and Jasmine cuddled after pulling the covers over their naked bodies.

With her eyes sparkling from the afterglow, Jasmine then said, "Wow, that was amazing Koenma. I love you."

"You were amazing too Jasmine. I love you too."

They both laid there cuddling for a minute until Koenma then broke the ice, "So, how was your week?"

Jasmine smiled, "Great. This last week was finals week at school."

The prince looked down at her and asked with genuine interest, "How did you do?"

Jasmine smiled, she loved it when he was interested in her work. She softly kissed his bare toned chest and replied, "Very nerve wracking; I thought was going to pass out. I got my grades in the mail and I passed everything with As and Bs."

"That's wonderful. I'm so proud of you my queen."

The young demon hunter giggled, "Thank you. I did have a great study partner after all. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

They gave each other a quick kiss and parted. Jasmine then added, "Also, the search for the perfect bridesmaid dress went rather well and Caroline says hi."

Koenma chuckled, "I'm glad to hear that. May I see it if it's already here."

"It is but, I decided to let you wait to until the wedding."

Koenma sighed with disappointment, "Oh, okay. Jasmine may I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"That black see through baby doll you surprised me with tonight, is it new?"

Jasmine nodded, "Yes it is. I bought it when Kuroko took me out to her favorite sex shop after she got her cast removed. She also bought a little something to surprise her husband with too. We had a lot of fun on our girls' day. I also bought some new toys while I was there too but, I'm saving them for another night."

The prince gave her sly smile, "Sounds like fun."

"I'm glad you approve." Jasmine then decided to change the subject, "Oh, I almost forgot, Kuroko and her family say hi too."

They laid in bed in silence for five more minutes and still being wide awake Jasmine then asked her prince, "Koenma?"

Still being awake himself he replied, "Yeah?"

"Can you tell me about the fights you watched at the Demon World Tournament? I'm just so interested to know what happened there."

Koenma looked down at her and smiled, "I will be more than happy to my queen."

Jasmine then snuggled up close to her lover and looked up at his handsome face as he began to explain about the fights that took place during the duration of the Demon World Tournament. The young demon hunter listened with awe enjoying her loving boyfriend tales of those events. Koenma's stories to Jasmine lasted for a good portion of the night and they didn't fall asleep until 3AM.
