Demons and Fairies

Chapter 1

Wake Up to Search

Hiei's eyes jolted awake as he came out of the game that the fox tricked him into entering two years ago. Being a demon meant that his body didn't need the constant fluids that the human body did, so he was able to immediately recover from the death game. He looked around the room and saw that he was in what looked like a hospital room, but with no windows in it. He briefly wondered where he was before he remembered that he had to find someone, he uttered one name before he quickly used what strength he had to leave, "Ember."

Rushing down the halls of the 'hospital' Hiei came across the sight of Koenma in his chair stamping papers. So he was in spirit world while he was in the game was he, that means that he had to get to earth and fast if he wanted to find her. "Where are you going Hiei," came a voice that made said fire demon want to strangle.

Turning around, he came face to face with Kurama and immediately tried yelled at him, "you bastard, you put me in there for two damn years you damned fox."

"Hiei, I had no way of knowing that that would happen to you and I am sure you realize that you could have handled it." Kurama tried to defend but the death glare Hiei was giving him started to make him feel very nervous right now. "Anyway, I am sure you would like to know what has happened in your time in the game," Kurama said trying to get the subject somewhere else.

"No not really, just let me know if Yukina is safe and I will be on my way," Hiei plainly stated, he had someone to find.

"Yes well about that, we didn't know when you would wake up and after you saved her and went into that game. We just couldn't let you possibly die without her knowing so Yusuke and I told her," Kurama admitted guiltily

"You what," Hiei shouted in anger, "if I didn't have time for this we would have a very lengthy conversation about keeping secrets for a reason."

"Wait, you just woke up, where could you possibly need to go to," he asked but was ignored as Hiei just left in a very bad mood. "Maybe I should tell him, but then again he is very angry right now."

"First I will talk with Koenma and than I will start my search for her," Hiei said to no one as he walked to the toddlers office.

"Are you able to get me a list of all the survivors to the game that I just left," he asked as he walked into Koenma's office with a calm expression on his face.

"Hiei, when did you wake up," Koenma asked startled that he even woke up.

"Can you do what I asked or not," Hiei demanded.

"I can if I have a big enough incentive, but in all honesty, I don't see why I should," the toddler said.

Hiei wanted to find her quick, and that meant that he is desperate for any help, and that might mean he would have to through away his pride. So he reluctantly bowed his head and spoke in a calm and somewhat pleading voice, "please, can you help me find someone that I met in the game."

If Hiei didn't need the toddler's help he would have laughed at the look on Koenma's face. His mouth was open to the point that his pacifier fell out and his eyes looked like they would jump from their sockets. It took Koenma a full minute before he could give him an answer, "in light of what you just did, which was not easy I imagine, I will do all that I can to get you that list. It will, however take a little while before I can get you anything and so you will have to be patient."

"Thank you, and if you can, can you make it only the female population," Hiei almost whispered to him to which Koenma nodded. With nothing left to say, Hiei turned and walked out to head to the human world and talk with the detective.

On his way out he was stopped by Botan, who seemed just exhilarated that he was awake, "it's wonderful to see you out of that awful game Hiei."

"Hn," he said as he tried to go by but was stopped once again by Botan.

"By the way, do you happen to know these names," she asked as she pulled a list of names from her kimono. On the list were the names of everyone he was forced to kill in the game, people that he knew in the game that died. 'The fairy girl must have got the list from fairying their souls to spirit world,' Hiei thought

"Yes I do, these were the names of the people that I had no choice but to kill or watch them die. Some of them were friends towards the end, and some were other player killers," Hiei stated as he gave the list back to her.

"Okay, I just wanted to know if what all of them said was true or not, and I also have a few things to give to you," Botan said as she reached into her kimono and pulled out a plain gold box. There was a letter attached to the box for Hiei to read, and him alone to read. Taking the box from her, he turned to walk away until, "I also have money that one of them said was from a bet you made."

"Hn," he said as he snatched the money from her hands, 'took the fool long enough,' he thought. "Anything else," he asked as he noticed that she hadn't left of made an attempt to move.

"Yes, I also have another letter from a woman with blonde hair for you," she said as she pulled out the letter from her kimono.

'how in the world does she fit all that crap in there,' Hiei thought as he snatched the letter from her. He knew what it was about and he would read the contents later on for the request.

"Are you going to see Yukina," Botan asked as Hiei was walking away.

"No I am not, but I do know that she knows, and I have to say that I thought that you would be the one to tell her," he said with a small smirk seeing her reaction.

"what makes you say that," she asked innocently.

"Manly because of that big mouth of yours that can't usually keep a secret," Hiei said with an evil smirk across his face.

"Oh look at that, I think that Koenma is calling me, goodbye," Botan yelled as she ran into Koenma's office.

"It's a good thing I don't have time to deal with the detectives fuck up," Hiei said as he left spirit world for the human world. After that, his quest to find ember will begin.

Gardenia, California (same moment Hiei awoke)

Bloom's eyes shot open as she also awoke from her two years within the game, and she was in the hospital and not in another world. She had needed fluids to keep her alive so she was hooked to an IV in order to keep her alive. When she awoke she didn't expect to see him by her bedside, but a girl can dream can't she. Bloom groggily tried to take off her helmet with only slow success, and now she was so hungry that she couldn't think straight.

As she sat up she noticed that her parents were in the room with her asleep from it being late at night. The nurse came in at that moment with a tray of food and with a silent finger for silence, Bloom told the nurse to be quiet as not to wake her parents. The nurse complied and helped Bloom adjust so she could eat her food, and then the nurse left with Bloom eating a lot of food.

Apparently her eating was quite loud because she woke up her parents, and while they were groggily waking up, she thought it would be a good idea to mess with them. Who knew she could have so much fun hanging around her imiko, and that brought back all of the memories of pranks she pulled on him. It was so fun that he eventually began to prank her, and they eventually had to limit themselves to only prank when nobody was around or people would get hurt.

"Excuse me miss," she began in a timid voice, "do you know where I am and who I am."

Hearing a voice come from the bed, Bloom's parents, Mike and Vanessa, looked over to their daughter and began to panic. "Oh my god she can't remember anything, call the nurse right away," Vanessa said as Mike was stumbling over himself.

All the while Bloom was laughing at their reaction to her prank, "mom, dad, I was just messing with you, I didn't really lose my memory." She continued to laugh when they tripped over each other after a minute of staring at her.

"How could you do that to us, we thought that game did something else to you," Vanessa scolded.

"Yeah, that prank was not very nice, even if I would have done the same thing when I was your age," Mike said with a fond smile as he remembered all of his pranks.

His wife and daughter on the other hand had blank looks on their faces as Vanessa said, "what do you mean would have, you still pull those childish pranks."

"Okay, I admit it, but let's get back on track, Bloom's awake," Mike said as he pulled his daughter into a hug.

"Yes she is but very fragile right now, I would advise against hugging her so tightly mister Peters," said a voice as a doctor came into the room.

"Sorry about that, don't want to break her right after we got you back do we," Mike said.

"No you don't, now if you don't mind I would like to check and see if there is any lasting brain damage to my patient," the doctor said as he looked Bloom over. "It would appear that everything is fine on the surface, so the only thing left is an MRI when you get some proper nutrition. Also just to be safe, we may also need you to come in once a month for regular checks just to be safe," the doctor finished saying.

"Of course doctor, now Bloom, what would you like as your next meal," Vanessa asked.

"I would like everything I can get my hands on, and also could you bring me my computer, I need to look up some things," she asked.

"Of course sweety," her mother said as she and everyone else left the room to get Bloom what she asked for.

When they left, all Bloom could think about was her imiko and what he is doing right now. She thought of his piercing red eyes and his gravity defying hair, and as she looked down, she missed her wedding ring the most. Because it signified their love and she just wished that he would hurry up and find her before anything else bad happens to her.

Japan (Genkai's temple)

Hiei used his jagan to find Yusuke, he was training at Genkai's temple, and Hiei could already hear his cries of agony from the training session. Oh how he loved to hear the detective cry for mercy from the old woman's training. As he stopped on the front step of the compound he noticed someone else approaching the steps so he hid in the trees. The first to come into view was Yukina, which greatly surprised him, and the next was the foo, Kuwabara.

'What is that fool doing with my sister,' he thought as he followed them.

"Do you know why Kurama asked to meet us all here Yukina," the fool asked.

"No I don't Kazuma, but I do hope it is quick, I was going to visit brother today," Yukina sweetly said.

"I still think it is weird that you won't tell me who he is, I mean what is the worst that could happen," the fool said as they reached the temple.

"Just believe us when we say it is for your own good," was all she said as they entered the temple.

Hiei silently followed them and hid in the shadows until the others arrived, and nobody knew he was there. He silently thanked the little training in stealth that he did inside the game along with ember. As Kurama finally arrived everyone gathered into the living room in order to talk in private.

"Everyone, Hiei has finally woken from inside the game," the fox announced like it was a sad thing.

"Has anyone told him," Yukina asked out of worry.

"No, he just woke up, but he may come here to confront Yusuke about telling his secret," Kurama calmly said.

"Wait, shorty had a secret, what was it," the fool asked.

"We won't tell you, even if the secret was already revealed, only those that were in the room when it occurred will know it," Yusuke said in a tone of finality.

'When did the detective get so much authority,' Hiei thought as he spied on the group.

"We need to tell him about Enma's ruling eventually," Genkai commented.

"Yes, but that ruling was only when it came to why Hiei killed those people in the game. Without just cause, I am afraid of what he might be in for," the fox calmly said.

"Well a death sentence for self defense is a little uncalled for," Yusuke said.

"We won't know if it was self defense until we talk with him, and if it wasn't, than Hiei will be hunted for the rest of his life," Kurama said.

All of a sudden Hiei spiked his energy and the whole room became aware of his presence. They all turned to the corner where he was as he spoke, "so you wish to know why I killed those that I did kill."

"Yes Hiei we do, King Enma will only hunt you if the kills were not justified, even just one could mean death," the fox said again.

"I killed all with ample reason, and not just because someone stepped on my toes, they each threatened my very life in a game where I had none of my demon energy. Is that all because I need to talk to my sister in private for a moment," Hiei said openly much to the shock of everyone.

"You do realize that you just shared something without us forcing you too, right," Yusuke asked in a very unstable tone.

"Just shut up and get out while I talk to Yukina alone or I barbeque all of you and we talk alone anyway," he demanded.

They all filed out of the room so the siblings can talk while Kuwabara was yelling about how nobody told him they were brother him they were brother and sister. "What did you wish to discuss with me brother," Yukina asked as though it was so natural and fluid.

"I wanted you to be the only one who knows what happened inside that game. While not everything is relevant, there is one event that is my most precious memory from those two years," Hiei stated as he took off his headband to reveal his jagan. "I will share with you and you alone that memory that I hold so dear, are you ready,"

With a nod he showed her the memory that he spoke so highly of and gasped when she realized it was a wedding, his wedding. He got married in the game to a redhead with bright blue eyes in a very lovely wedding dress. When the memory was finished she was shedding tears of joy for the happy memory.

"Do not tell anyone of that memory, they do not need to know," Hiei stated as he put back on his headband. "Also before you ask, yes she did survive and yes I do intend to find her and than you can meat, and her screen name is ember."

Yukina rapidly nodded her head and barely held in her excitement for having a sister as well as a brother. "I will keep this a secret I promise, but why would you want to keep it a secret," she asked.

"I just don't want them to know unless I have to tell them, so shall we go see what the fools are doing,"he asked her.

"Fine, but you better find her soon, I can only keep a secret for so long before it spills out of me," Yukina stated with a smile on her face.

When they left the room they saw everyone so focused on a fight between Yusuke and Kuwabara to notice that they had emerged. Yukina mouthed, 'want to have some fun with them,' while Hiei mouthed, 'no, but you enjoy your time I have to start my search for my ember.' With that said, Hiei speed away in search for the one he loved.

Gardenia, California (two weeks later)

After one week of Bloom staying in her room looking up possible clues about where imiko is. She looked up words he used and their meaning and origin, and than she looked up the people that he spoke of, but nothing came up. On a whim she looked up imiko's meaning and found out that it meant, 'cursed child.'

After the one week, Bloom finally decided to tell her parents about him, and she was surprised when they actually remained calm and not at all judgmental about it. They all decided to do what they could to get information about imiko, and they even made a few precautions incase something happens. Mike talked to some friends that moved to Japan for better work and asked if they could ask around. They are still searching right now, but they haven't found anything yet. Vanessa asked some of her regular customers if they could put out their feelers for anybody matching imiko's description with the same results.

They haven't found anything out yet either and to top it all off, Bloom just helped out a girl named Stella who says she is a fairy. "I come from the realm of Magix in the magical dimension, you should come to since you are a fairy," the fairy told Bloom.

Bloom thought about it for a moment, if she could harness her power, then she would be able to help imiko with anything he needed. She agreed only on the terms that she could regularly visit for important personal business. With Stella agreeing to talk with miss Faragonda about it, they both left for college
