Second Generation Spirit Detective

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuyu Hakusho.

I'm back from my trip and I had a blast, sorry about the delay it caused though. Thank you so much for reviewing. Oh yeah, AquaRika wanted to know who Hiei and Kurama were married to. Hiei is married to Mukuro and Kurama isn't married to anyone at the moment. If you want I can write a little bonus chapter about it, but you have to tell me if you do!

Chapter 3: Acceptance

Kyoko looked at the spot where her parents had been sitting unbelievingly. Her eyes wandered to meet Kitako's. Both girls had fear in their eyes. Kyoko rose and opened the coat closet as though checking to see if their parents were hiding in there. Kitako, Ai, and Yo watched sadly as their friend walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

"Don't you do anything stupid in there!" Kitako yelled through the wood. She didn't answer but threw something at the door in response. They stared at it for a moment before turning to Ryo. She was laying on the ground next to the couch. Blood trickled from where she had struck her head on the coffee table onto her face, running down her cheek like crimson tears. That ruled out that this was some kind of joke or training exercise. Kurama would never let this happen to his daughter.

Kitako slowly approached Ryo while Ai and Yo watched in silence. She put her hands over Ryo's wounds and used the healing powers her mother taught her to close the cut seamlessly. Within minutes Ryo's head was healed and her eyes fluttered open.

"W-what happened?" she asked, getting to her feet.

Ai smiled weakly and said, "I'll take this one." It was going to be hard because Ryo looked close to tears already. She took a deep breath and began. "Well, we were listening to Koenma talk," she explained while the other two nodded encouragingly, "a-and then it went dark and-"

"-Ai stepped on my foot!" Yo interjected angrily. Ai hit him over the head.

"You deserved it! Anyway, when the lights came back on our parents and everyone else were gone." Yo and Kitako nodded in sad agreement. Ryo's eyes filled with tears.

"I-is Father gone?" she asked in little more than a gasp. Everyone nodded.

"Ai," Yo whispered to his sister.

"What?" she hissed back angrily, enraged that her brother would interrupt such a depressing moment for Ryo. After all, all she had was her father, she never even knew her mother.

"My neck hurts from all this nodding." Ai sighed.

"B-but what I don't get," Ryo was telling Kitako, "i-is why they took Kyoko too." Kitako giggled and patted her on the back.

"Don't worry," she said, still fighting back laughter, "Kyoko's just in the bathroom." Ryo nodded.

"Oh."

"Look, more nodding," Yo pointed out quietly to Ai.

"Oh shut up."

Before Yo could make a comeback the bathroom door swung open and Kyoko emerged, fully dressed in her father's green jumpsuit. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail, shining with gel. Catching on, Ai and Yo brought their swords into view, Kitako formed her lavender Spirit Sword, and Ryo pulled a rose from her hair. All of them smiled. Kyoko grinned widely and put her index finger in front of her, forming a gun.

"Let's go kick some butt."

Well, there is Chapter 3. I really hope you liked it. If you were wondering why Kitako's Spirit Sword was lavender instead of yellow, I think that the color of Spirit Energy varies from person to person. (ex: Yusuke's is blue, Kuwabara's is yellow, Rando's is red/pink) However, it could be argued that it doesn't vary because Genkai's is blue too. Maybe I'll have Kyoko have blue Spirit Energy. Anyway, please REVIEW and tell me what you think! ( sorry it's so short)
