Meet Airi, recent testing facility escapee and brand new psychic. She's sweet as can be, until you threaten the people she loves. Fleeing to her childhood friends (Yusuke and Keiko) in search of safety, she wanders into a lethal situation, and in a rare act of pity, Hiei saves her life. He wholeheartedly regrets this decision, until Airi uses their strange telepathic connection to help him find Yukina. While he can't seem to understand why she cares so much about him, he finds himself giving in to the curious experience of being loved. Halfway through the story, the focus shifts away from their very NSFW romance and towards their individual growth and trials. They learn some neat new skills like astral projection, search the spirit realm for their moms, take on a bunch of baddies with the crew, and get to appreciate a few beautiful moments of peace in between. It's canon compliant for the most part, though Chapter Black gets a makeover. All the major arcs are featured, plus some of my own creation. The length is not for the faint of heart. As of now, when all is said and done it should end up around 300-350k words. Updating every Monday and Friday!

The characters depicted in this story, other than the OCs, belong to Yoshihiro Togashi, creator and illustrator of the Yu Yu Hakusho series. I thank him deeply for creating a world and its inhabitants that are so complex and wonderful that its fans are still writing their own takes more than 30 years later.
