Disclaimer: Sadly, I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho. But the last time I checked, I did and still do own Hitomi. NO STEALING, or you shall face my wrath. I also own Akira, a new character.

ANOTHER THING, sorry for talking so much,(don't tell me to stop, cuz I won't) but this chapter jumps six years into the future, prior to the previous chapter.

Chapter 3: Going back

::Mukuro's Palace::

A thirteen year old girl sat on a chair in the Main Chamber Room. She was reading a book called The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R Tolkien. A Human author. She was on the third book in the trilogy already. She had just started the day prior to yesterday.

She was slouched up against the left armrest, her legs crossed, bending over the other side. Her midnight black. back length hair, cascaded messily over her shoulders and slightly down the chair itself. She had pale skin, such of a Chinese porcelain doll, with rosy pink cheeks, giving her a beautiful, docile look.

Almost every male in the palace, and other Lord territories, wanted her to be his. She was the perfect demoness. There was only one problem. Her `father' wouldn't allow anyone close enough to her, to claim her.

Her icy blue eyes read the pages, one after the other. Right, to left. She loved to read. She read through a mountain of books in a day. She simply could not stop, for whatever purpose, other than to train, eat, bathe, and sleep. Even then she could not tear her gaze from the tiny print on the parchment.

"Hitomi-sama, your room is tidied and clean. What shall I do next?" A small tiger demon asked.

Without even glancing at the demon, she made a motion with her hand, meaning to shoo him away. "If you have completed that, then you are free to do whatever you desire."

"You are too gracious ma'am." He bowed and scurried away.

She finally put her book down when a young man around her age came in. He stood by her side and looked down at her book. "The Lord of the Rings." He tasted the title on his tongue, the words rolling off it smoothly, seemingly the Human language came naturally to him.

Hitomi nodded.

"It's not a Makai literature piece. Human I presume, seeing as how you take such a dead serious interest in them." He answered.

"Your guess is the truth. It is human." She replied softly.

The young man smiled. He had pale skin much like Hitomi's with a slight pink hue on his cheeks. His eyes were a deep and mysterious violet, his hair, dark Sepia in color. It was a little long around his ears and down the nape of his neck. It lay atop his head, tousled from the day's training.

"Mukuro and Hiei wish to see you." He declared in his soft and gentle, but steady and deep voice.

Hitomi got up, and took hold of his offered arm. They walked off towards Hiei and Mukuro who were waiting in the hallway, nearest to her bed chambers.

"Hi Hiei." Hitomi said.

"Hello." He replied. "We are going back to the Ningenkai."

"Why?" Hitomi asked. She never quite outgrew her childlike curiosity and childhood second favorite word.

"Kurama wants us to come to visit."

"Yes, and since you have such an interest in that world, we thought you would like to go." Mukuro said. "Akira, go send for extra clothes for Hitomi." She tried to shoo off the man, whom Hitomi was clinging to.

"Of course." He replied in swift and clear Japanese. He strode off in his smooth stride.

She watched him leave. A small part of her happiness leaving with him.

Mukuro and Hiei quickly glanced at each other, eyes full of understanding.

Hitomi quickly turned back to the two other demons. "I'd love to go, but can you allow Akira to come with me?"

Hiei nodded. Even he had high respect for the half light, half dark demon, whom his adopted daughter liked so much.

Yusuke's and Keiko's house

"Akimi!" Yusuke panted, chasing after the six year old little girl. "Come back here!"

"You have to catch me first, Daddy!"

Yusuke planned a sneak attack on his daughter, from around the corner. He pounced and grabbed for Akimi.

"Daddy! Let go." She laughed.

"Not until you take a bath. Friends of mine are going to come. So, I want you all squeaky clean. Guro already took his."

She laughed again. "Ok, ok!"

"Now run along. Mommy'll help you if you need anything. She's in our room." With that he scooted the little girl off to go take a bath before they had company.

Mukuro's Palace

Hitomi stepped out of the bath, rapped a towel around herself, and stepped into her room. Big mistake. Akira was standing right there holding the clothes he was ordered to retrieve for her.

He didn't make any sort of movement except for speech. He had a light blush on his cheeks, clearly showing Hitomi his embarrassment. "Sorry for, uh, coming in unexpected." He handed Hitomi her clothes and maneuvered to leave.

"Akira, you may stay." She called out to him. "Let me just get dressed. She smiled as his blush got a little pinker in color.

"Yes ma'am…" He responded.

"Also, you may just call Tomi. Most of my closest friends and family do." She went into the bathing chamber once more. "You are certainly a close friend." She smiled, but Akira couldn't tell.

Hitomi stepped out of the bathing chambers, wearing her hair in a lose bun. She wore a red tang top under a white fighting robe, hemmed in gold. She wore black pants, much like Hiei's, and black shoes too.

All in all, she was absolutely beautiful in the eyes of the half light, half dark demon standing in front of her. "You wished to speak?" He asked her. He hated having to act so mature all the time. He WAS only fourteen, for Reikai's sake!

"Yes I did. I wanted you to accompany me to the human world." She said. "AND, if you desire, you can drop the `mature act'."

"Ok then." He smiled. "I'd love to go with you too. I'll go get cleaned up, and we can head out." He walked out of the door and down the hall to his chambers.

Keiko's garden

"Puu!" A little purple penguin called.

"Yes, `puu'!" Keiko giggled and wrapped her arms around Puu. He flapped his ears, which acted as wings.

"Akimi no baka!" Guro, a twelve year old boy called after his little sister.

Guro, while looking like Yusuke, took after his mother. Akimi while looking like Keiko, most definitely took after Yusuke.

Akimi ran and ran. She grabbed onto a tree and she started to climb right up it. Guro waited at the bottom, with endless patients.

Two hours before all the guests were supposed to arrive, Akimi decided to come down from the tree. She landed in the arms of Guro, who took her inside to take another bath.

"Come on now, Akimi no baka." He said. He walked her inside, up the stairs and into the bathtub. "Now, get clean." With that, he left.

~With Kurama, Yukina and Kuwabara~

A certain redhead stepped out into the temple gardens and placed five whole bags of chips on a table.

Kuwabara stepped out eating the chocolate ice cream.

"Kuwabara!" Kurama laughed, and he grabbed the ice cream away from the towering klutz, and put it on the table. "Why don't you go and help Yukina with her work?"

"Of course!" Kuwabara ran off.

"I think we're all ready!" Yukina smiled.
