Flames of Love
Author's Notes: Good evening boys and girls. Here is the semi eagerly awaited squel to the stories A Ghostly Love one of my DBZ stories, and Demon Beloved one of my Yu Yu Hakusho. So it would be a good idea to read those two stories or else you will be so lost. The URL's for those stories are
A Ghostly Love: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=438237
Demon Beloved: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=738534
Also this story takes place one year after A Ghostly Love and five years after the end of the Yu Yu Hakusho story. I did not know what age Shura was at the end of YYH so I am guessing on the age. So without further ado I present 'FLAMES OF LOVE'!
________________________________________________________
Hie i ran through the woods of the Makai, back toward Muruko's fortress. He had just finished his rounds and something told him that something was waiting for him there. So he ran quckly through the trees the feelings didn't foretell something bad infact it foretold something good was going to happen. He could see the top of her fortress above the trees now and picked up speed. The feeling seemed to intensify the closer he got to the fortress.
Muruko looked up slightly startled when Hiei burst through the doors making them slam against the wall that of her throne room. She was standing next to a man who was holding a note from a messanger from the Royal House of the Fire Demons. The message was addressed to Hiei.
"Well Fire there is Hiei," said Muruko waving the messanger to him.
"What is going on here?!" demanded Hiei striding toward them.
"This man has a message for you from King Flareics," said Muruko in a tone that said 'Hiei had a lot of explaining to do when this man leaves'.
"Does he?" asked Hiei turning toward the messanger.
"It is about the princess," said the messanger knowing that would get his attention.
Hiei's hand at once shot out and the messanger with a smirk placed it into his hand before bowing respectfully to Muruko and nodding to Hiei. Then the messenger left the room leaving the two Demons. Hiei quickly opened the message and with a frown began to read what the king had written.
"Why is the Fire Demon King sending messages to you Hiei?" asked Muruko.
"Around five years ago I courted his daughter," said Hiei.
"And?" asked Muruko.
"When we parted her father said I would have to prove myself worthy to marry his daughter."
"Is that what the note is about?"
"Yes."
"What does it say Hiei?"
"It says to be worthy of his daughter I have to defeat the strongest warrior of a different world. It also says that by defeating him that doesn't mean killing him. It says that in one universe there is something called the Tenkaichi Budoukai. It begins next week and he wants me to take part in it."
"How are you going to get there?"
"He will send someone for me when it is time."
"So I take it if you fail then you don't get to marry his daughter?"
"Nope I don't get to marry her," scowled Hiei darkly.
"Well," said Muruko grinning wickedly. "I guess if you want to get into bed with the daughter you have to beat the strongest warrior. Look up Hiei if you fail you can always sleep with her at night and get her pregnant and marry her that way."
Hiei narrowed his eyes at her and growled before turning aburtly on his heel and started for the door.
"Where are you going Hiei?" asked Muruko.
"I have to talk to the others about this they might be interested in this."
"Shouldn't you be training Hiei?"
"I will train when I get back."
That said Hiei opened the door and slammed it shut. He strolled down the hall and felt his lips twitch into a smile. He was going to train to fight, then he would fight to win the right of Panthera's hand in marriage. Things were starting to look up, on impulse he reached into his pants' pocket and pulled out the small box made of black hemnite. Hiei sighed and pressed the switch and the white rose and the stars appeared. The rose began to turn and the stars danced around it.
"Soon you will be mine Panth," said Hiei.
He smirked and closed the box before tossing it into the air and caught it putting it back in his pocket. He just had to be patiant for a little longer and soon he would finally achieve his goal of having the woman he loved for his own. He wondered how the boys would react to knowing he could finally get together with Panth. Strolling out of the fortress he grinned and took off running he would soon be with the others. He hadn't really seen them in five years. Well not all of them and he was looking forward to seeing his sister. He hoped Kuwabara had been taking care of her. Well only one way to find out.
________________________________________________________
Goku and Chichi were too busy sparring in the air to notice that they had company on the ground. Chichi thrust her palm up and into the chin of her mate and then slammed her other palm into the middle of his chest. The impact sent them flying apart. They hoovered there taking a breather.
"Excuse me," shouted Kone up at the sparing pair. "Are you two done yet?"
Goku and Chichi looked down and waved at Surpreme Kai, Noke, Kibito, and Kone. They drifted down and bowed to the four of them. Noke was already slightly showing with pregnancy she was three months pregnant and Kai was very protective of her now. Kone had yet to become pregnant yet. much to her disappointment.
"What can we do for you guys?" asked Goku.
"It's about the Tenkaichi Budoukai," said Kai.
"What about the Tenkaichi Budoukai?" asked Chichi tucking a stray lock of her black hair behind her right ear.
"We have reason to believe that there will be Demons attending this year's Tenkaichi Budoukai," said Kibito.
"Maybe you should come inside the house and make yourself comfortable while we get the others over here now!" said Chichi realizing the seriousness of the situation.
"Very well," said Kai.
The six of them walked into the Son home and sat around the table while Goku called his friends and got them together at his house saying it was urgent.
Later___________________________________________________
"W hat are you talking about?!" asked Piccollo dropping his cool exterior.
"We have recieved word that there will be Demons from another Earth will be attending the Tenkaichi Budoukai," said Kibito.
"What do you mean another Earth?" asked Veggitta.
"There are several different Earths,"said Noke. "This one has Demons and Humans living together somewhat peacfully."
"Koenma of that world has a team of Rekai Tentai that help keep things under control on Earth while the Leaders of the Makai keep things under control there. They have been living in peace for five years with the occasional rebel Demons invading."
"Why are they coming here?" asked Bulma slightly surprised.
"We do not know why they are coming," said Kone.
"How do you know they are coming then?" asked Veggitta.
"We were told by an oracle," said Noke.
"An oracle!" exclaimed Chichi.
"Do you know what one is mom?" asked Gohan.
"Oracles were well respected on my home world," said Chichi.
"How do you know this?" asked Kai.
"My mother told me when I was little," said Chichi. "She told me that Oracles were well revered and highly respected by the people. They had great powers for seeing into the future."
"So an oracle saw this? Can this oracle be trusted?" asked Veggitta.
"Yes she can be trusted," said Kone. "She is the most powerful and well respected Human oracle of her age."
"Did the oracle say anything about why they were coming?" asked Goku.
"No," said Kai. "Though there has been some talk about a Fire Demon Warrior joining the Tenkaichi Budoukai so he can prove himself to the father of the half breed Fire Nymph that happens to be in love with him and he her."
"How romantic," said Bulma dreamily.
"Woman this could be just a cover for what he really wants!" snapped Veggitta.
Ignoring them Tien turned to Kai and the others, "Do you think he is really coming for that reason? Also what is a Fire Nymph is it someone important?"
"I doubt it Demons are not capable of feeling love. It is just talk that women have created to fulfill their own fantasies. A Fire Nymph is a Fire Demon Princess they are very powerful and can control everything that deals with Fire. However this girl is the first Fire Nymoh ever to be half Demon, so there is no telling whether she is evil or whether she is has powerful has the other Fire Nymphs that have been bored before her."
"I guess all we can do is wait and see what time will tell," said Noke.
"So what are we going to do about it?" asked Veggitta.
"Like my wife said I guess our only option is to wait and see what developes," said Kai.
"Does anyone else have a bad feeling about this?" asked Yamacha.
Everyone exchanged a look has a feeling of dread seattled over the group. This was not going to be a peaceful year that was for sure. Something was going to happen and the Tenkaichi Budoukai was going to be the cause of it.
They had only one week to become stronger incase the Demons that came meant trobule. But they knew without a doubt that would be exactly what the Demons meant, since it was something Demons were good at. They had to stop them before they did what they had planned. But one question remained in their minds. What did they have planned would it mean the end for all life has they knew it? Well they would find out in one week that was for sure and they could hardly wait.
However little did they know that the coming of the Fire Demons and his friends and the woman he loved would bring with them a great adventure and a great evil.
"Wow," said Yuusuke reading the letter one more in surprise. "I can not believe that King Flareics actually is going to let you do this."
"Yeah I am shocked that he would actually go through with it last time I cheecked he hated you with a passion," said Kuwabara one of his arms wrapped around his fiance Yukina.
"He does in fact I think he even wanted me dead for three years after the incident," muttered Hiei crossing his arms across his chest. "Panth-chan just somehow managed to convince him to let me prove myself to the jackass."
"She does seem to get her way alot," said Yuusuke placing the note on the floor infront of him before leaning back once more deep in thought.
"What the hell does that mean bakayaro?!" shouted Hiei shooting to his feet his eyes flashing dangerously while his jagan glowed eerily from behind the cloth around his forehead.
"Look me and Kurama meet her once or twice in the last five years when we meet with her father," said Yuusuke holding his hands up has if to ward off the angery Demon. "All Panthera wanted to do was talk about you though, when we were away from her father."
That seemed to soothe Hiei somewhat because he seattled back down in his seat.
"He's telling the truth," said Kurama from his spot near Botan who was wearing a turtleneck to cover up the hickeies he had given her last night.
Hiei turned to look at the former Theif, "really?!"
"Well you and Catterina," said Yuusuke.
Hiei grabbed his collar and glared at him angerily.
"Though she asked more about you and we told her all that we know from all the times we've meet."
That seemed to satisfy the Demon who seattled back down grinning in smug satisfaction.
"So Hiei I take it you are going to train to enter this fighting tourenment of another Earth?" asked Genkai pouring the hot tea for everyone.
"Of course basaan (A/N: I saw in one of the Japanesse version of a movie that the YYH gang called Genkai bassan)," said Hiei accepting the tea offered to him by Genkai. "I was wondering if you all would help me train for it?"
Yuusuke and the others exchanged a look in shock. Hiei asking them to train with him was a total shock he never asked anyone for help. Kuwabara reached over and felt his forehead, Hiei slapped it away from him in aggitation and glared at the tall orange haired Human.
"What the hell are you doing baka?!"
"Just checking to see if you have a temp," smiled Kuwabara.
"Why?!"
"Cause Hiei you have never asked for anyone's help before," said Botan giggling happily.
"So what?!" snapped Hiei glaring at the young Rekai Ferry Girl. "I think for the sake of Panth-chan I can this once."
"You mean for the sake of proving to her father that you are worthy of being her mate?" smirked Yuusuke.
"You really want to win the contest so that you can prove yourself worthy of her hand to her father?!' asked Keiko.
"Of course," smirked Hiei closing his eyes.
"How romantic," squelled Botan happily.
All four guys exchanged a look and shook thier heads. They were always surprised how easily it was for a girl to find romance in almost any situation.
"When do you want to begin training Hiei?" asked Yuusuke.
"Right this minute if possible," said Hiei. "I want to get this done and over with the sooner the better."
"You are welcome to use my training facility," said a voice behind them. "I also offer my services has helping you train Hiei."
"I offer my services has well in your training."
The entire group gasped in shock and all whirled around to see the two people that they least expected to see.
________________________________________________________
Princ ess Panth, the most recent Fire Nymph collapsed into a chair that resided in one of her many rooms. With a sigh she turned around and allowed her legs to drape over one of the armrests the slits of her dress revealed her long pale legs, she proped her back on the other one with the help of a silk pillow. The dress she wore was long falling to her ankles and was the color fresh blood. The slits on the front of her dress came up to her hips, it swooped up and stayed on her body by a clasp in the back of her neck the dress left her backless.
She ran her fingers through her long white hair while her silver eyes closed in thought. She was extremely bored with all the lessons she had to learn has the Fire Demon Princess. She would have preferred to return to her ancestoral home and then found someway to contact Hiei. Though from what Yuusuke and Kurama had told her over their visits Hiei now worked for a powerful Demon named Muruko. She couldn't help but wonder if he had somehow forgotten about her.
Almost on instinct she reached behind her neck and unhooked the top of her blood red dress it fell down revealing the bite mark Hiei had given her the night she left five years ago. She rubbed it and felt almost at once at peace. Then she remebered her father's reaction when he saw the mark and the blood stains on her shirt that night.
Flashback***************************************************** Panthera walked over to the carriage with her arms wrapped around Hiei. When she reached the carriage they parted company and kissed eachother quickly. She began to climb into the carriage but stopped and turned back to wave to everyone before getting into the carriage that would take her and her mother to the Palace of the Fire Demons. The moment she sat down she couldn't help but feel her father's eyes on her.
"Something wrong father?" she asked looking out the window.
"Why does your blouse have blood on it?" asked her father.
Panth slowly turned her head to look at her father a blush forming on her face. It was then that her father saw the bite mark on her neck.
"You let him mark you?!" shouted her father in shock and surprise.
"Yes," said Panth. "I did allow him to mark me."
"Why the hell would you allow such a thing?!"
"Well..."
"I believe your father said the same thing to you when you marked me," said his mate and future Queen of his people.
"That's beside the point!" snapped her husband.
"Stop being a hypocrit darling," smiled Raven. "Our daughter and this young man are in the same postion that we were in at their age."
"There is a difference!"
"What difference would that be?" asked Raven with interest.
"I - he - she - we...." stuttered Flareics.
Raven chuckled and leaned her head on his shoulder and placed her finger against his lips to silence him. The rest of the carriage ride was held in silence has the three of them drifted off into their own thoughts. Flareics thought about a way to find a Fire Demon or any other Demon suitable for her, his mind wondered to Lord Yomi they had been talking about an alliance for sometime. While Raven thought of a way to help her daughter convince Flareics to let her marry Hiei. Panth just thought of Hiei and when they would next meet.
End of Flashback***********************************************
Panth smiled has she remebered the first time when Lord Yomi came alone to meet her. He had brought Kurama with him and while her father and Lord Yomi had talked, she had talked with Kurama. Later on from her mother she had found out that while Lord Yomi had been flattered with the propsal of marriage with her he couldn't take her away when she was marked by another Demon. To do so would be dishonorable, and even though he knew that Flareics was trying to do the right thing by marrying his daughter off to someone he considered worthy it was dishonorable of him to do so. That had ended it then and there.
She also remebered that it was then that her father decided to start thinking of a way to allow Hiei the chance to prove himself with the help of her mother of course. It wouldn't be for another four years before he would find away to allow Hiei to prove himself. However the thing was he knew that a true Demon could not get into a fight without killing their opiniont. That was one of the rules of this Tenkaichi Budoukai, another thing was that it was of another Earth. Where beings like Hiei were not going to be welcomed with open arms. She wondered what would happen in the week that was to come. How would things work out? Would Hiei win? Would he lose? Only time would tell and she could hardly wait to see the others. They would meet again after five years in one week. She also couldn't help but wonder how Cat was doing.
Jackie smiled and walked through the trees heading toward the Scared Temple. She knew they would there they always were. The two older protectors of the Temple weren't allowed to leave the grounds or else they would age rapidly. She hadn't seen them in years since the twins were born she could hardly wait to see how they were doing. She wondered if the rumors she had heard were true and Cat had married Lord Koenma. There was also the rumor that Panth had fallen in love with a Rekai Tentai and a Demon at that.
She couldn't help but laugh at the irony of it all. The irony that Cat a Shadow Demon was married to Lord Koenma future ruler of The Rekai. She was however surprised that King Enma had allowed it. That man was slightly uptight when it came to things like this. Though she was happy that he allowed his son and the Shadow Demon to be together after all she had helped bring down two dangerous Demons. She ran her hands down the clothing she wore on Earth. A dark red tank top and black baggy male jeans, her hair was held up with black ribbions. Her makeup was a combination of black and blood red.
She was the classic gothic punk teenaged chick that didn't take shit from anyone. However her looks disceived many people who thought she was just an ordinary teenaged girl. Though if one were to look into her light brown hair would tell you that she was actually much older. She was much older then Earth, being born on a distant planet. When she arrived she had been wounded when her ship had spazzed out and shot a piece of it's computer at her side implanting it deep inside. She had been lucky to land on the Scared Grounds where Lady Mother Nature and her daughter had healed her.
Ever since then she had been friends with the descendentss of Lady Mother Nature. At the moment she was closer to Cat and Panth then she had been to the countless other women before them. She smiled has Mave and Rave rushed out to greet her.
"How are you two?" she asked crouching down to state at them.
"Great!" shouted Rave happily.
"Did you hear Lady Jackie?" asked Mave.
"Hear what?" asked Jackie smiling.
"That Cat and Koenma have a four year daughter," said Catherinacka coming to stand on the Temple steps.
"Your kidding?!" exclaimed Jackie happily. "How did Lord Enma handle the news when he first found out?"
"The Earth is stil here isn't it?"
Jackie laughed, "I take it Lord Enma had gotten used to her?"
"Well it was more around the lines of he wouldn't have to listen to them make love for awhile before and after the child was born. So he and his wife actually got some sleep for awhile though he is thinking of having his palace moved to a different part of the Rekai. Last I heard he was also thinking about stepping down and letting his son take over."
"How is Panth?"
"Last I heard of her she had managed to talk her father into giving Hiei a chance to prove himself worthy," said Tora coming to join them.
"Oh really how?" asked Jackie raising an eyebrow.
"Well you know how there are several different Earths right?" asked Tora.
"Of course I do."
"Well in one there is something called the Tenkaichi Budoukai."
"What about it?"
"Well Hiei has to win that one in order to prove himself to King Flareics. He also has to do it without killing anyone."
"I take it that's a bad thing?"
"For him it is he's a Demon and you know how they are.."
"Yeah great kissers!"
"JACKIE!"
"What?!"

"Let's get back to training for these assholes," said Goten with a grin and slamming his fist into his hand.
"How hard can it be?" asked Veggitta smirking. "I mean we'll beat the crap out of them just like all the other times."
"Yeah and it wasn't mainly you kickin their asses Veggitta," smirked Piccollo.
"Yeah it was me," smirked Goku.
"Even has a little baby," laughed Chichi squeezing his left cheek while everyone laughed at Veggitta face.
"But seriously," said Kai. "I doubt that this Demon will be comeing here on a mission of love. We have to be ready for anything since we have no idea on the powers this Demon has and what he wants here."
"If we are lucky he will just be here for a new challenge," said Yamacha then seeing the looks on everyone else's face. "Then again I seriously doubt it."
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure on that one Surpreme Kai," said Piccollo.
"What do you mean Picollo?!" demanded Kai infuriated that he would dare contradict him.
"I have heard stories about Demons and Humans falling in love with eachother."
"Those are just fairytales," grumbled Kai.
"I beg to defer infant," said a laughing voice.
"Who's there?!" demanded Goku shooting to his feet.
"Just me," said a woman appearing out of nowhere and taking a seat on the countertop.
"Who the fucken hell are you?!" demanded Piccollo.
"Such language I am shocked!"
"Well not really but that's besides the point."
"Who little ole me? I am just an old Wiccan Goddess and I can assure you that those are no fairy tales."
"How would you know child?" spat Kai.
"Oh don't give me that child bull shit," snapped Jackie in irratation. "I am much older then you."
"Oh really how old are you?!" asked Yamacha.
"You jack ass!" snapped Jackie slapping the back of his head. "Didn't anyone ever tell it's not nice to ask a lady her age?!"
"A witch is not a lady," muttered Kai.
"Whatever anyways Demons and Humans have fallen in love with eachother in the past. I mean how do you think Spanish came to be? Spanish is the native language of the Fire Demons. So pretty much a Fire Demon and a Human probably English fell in love and slept with eachother thus begining the line of Spainards."
"So all the Spainards are related way down the line?" asked Bulma.
"No see after the first Spainard was born an entire group of Fire Demons came mated with Human women and had several other children."
"But there is no trace of Demon blood in them?!" challaenged Kibito.
"Of course not now it has thinned out and is very minut if they even still have some since it lessened with each generation until it finally disappeared somewhat."
"That was then this is now no Demon has ever fallen in love with a Human in the past million years."
"Um there you would be wrong again I am afraid," grinned Jackie.
"What do you mean?!"
"Simple the lovely Fire Demon Princess' parents are in love of course."
"I have never heard such bull shit in my entire life?!"
"I wouldn't count on that one!"
"After all first we have the Fire Dragon marrying a Scared Temple Maiden. Then we have the Reikai prince marrying a Shadow Demon. Who knows what will happen next. Well this has been great fun let me tell ya but I have got to go bye bye now! By the way I hope you train hard."
That said the young woman disappeared into thin air leaving behind her laughter.
________________________________________________________
"Yomi!" said Kurama in shock.
"Shura you've grown!" exclaimed Yuusuke.
"Watch it half-breed," snarled Shura.
"Why are you offering your help to Hiei?" asked Kurama breaking in before an arguement could start.
"Well actually it's not really for the help of Hiei," said Yomi coolly. "More has for the help of Princess Panthera."
"What are you doing with Panth-chan?!" demanded Hiei angerily.
"Nothing," said Yomi waving his hands in dismissal at the young Fire Demon. "Her father just tried to get me to marry her, but of course since she was already marked that wouldn't look to good on me and I really don't feel that way about her believe me. I prefer women with more fire then the pretty little half-breed."
Hiei snorted and narrowed his eyes at the man.
"Well do you want my help or not?"
Hiei and the others exchanged a look before grinning at eachother.
"Sure why not it will be fun," smirked Hiei.
Yuusuke and Kurama smiled eagerly, Kuwabara just sat there with Yukina snuggling under his arm happily. Then she grabbed his face and kissed him a little roughly then she normally had. Kuwabara in shock fell over and landed on his head, with the lower half of his body still up in the air.
"You comin Kuwabara?" asked Kurama holding Hiei back from killing him.
"The girl is in heat," smirked Yomi.
"So we should leave them?" asked Yuusuke.
"Well yeah um let's all leave," said Genkai.
With that everyone left the Temple.
"We'll....um.......we'll..... pick him up later," said Kurama. "Yeah that's it...."
That said the five males left the women standing around wondering what to do next
