Second Generation Spirit Detective

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuyu Hakusho.

Hi! Here's the next chapter. I just started a new fanfic, so all of you had better read it when you're done with this! It's called The Unforgiven and it's about Hiei. Cute Anime Kitty is way ahead of all of you! Anyway, back to this story. Cute Anime Kitty, I'm only mean to them because I like them! I know, that's kind of twisted, but I would never kill them off! Or would I?

Chapter 12:

"Okay, we've got a ref, now all we need are our opponents," Kyoko said irritably after Hina had agreed to be their referee.

"Yeah," Kitako agreed. "Where the hec are they?"

She had expected no answer for her question; it was merely an act of frustration.

"We're right behind you."

Kitako started and turned around. She jumped back when she found herself uncomfortably close to Jaiel.

Yo looked at Ryoko's expressionless face with love struck eyes. Ryoko saw him looking at her and smiled at him kindly. Jaiel spotted her sister's smile and scowled. There were three other people behind her who changed their expressions to match Jaiel's. Pretty soon Yo found himself the target of four very ugly looks. He was spared a reply to this unpleasant welcome by Kyoko.

"So, contrary to popular belief, you do have friends," she shot at Jaiel smoothly. Jaiel sneered at her.

"That's correct," she snapped lamely, unable to think of how to reply to Kyoko's natural talent for spewing insults.

"Well, go on then, introduce them! I like to know the names of those I beat the crap out of," she said with mock eagerness.

"Yes, Kyoko, I quite agree. It seems our opponents have very bad manners," Kitako chimed in with the same air as Kyoko. Jaiel jerked her head sourly at her three new teammates and they stepped forward in a flawless line.

"I am Hatakana," a girl with long greenish hair proclaimed dully.

"I am Keogha," said the boy next to her.

"I am Kakimomi," the last boy answered.

Kakiwhat'sisfruit was around sixteen and, Kyoko couldn't help noticing, was incredibly hot. But that was not going to stop her from pounding his face into the corn field. The other boy, well, he wasn't ugly, but he was nothing compared to Khaki-mommy.

"Kyoko, are you alright?" Kitako asked, waving a hand in front of her friend's face. Kyoko jerked out of her daydreaming with a start.

"Yah. Yah, I'm fine," she muttered distractedly.

"Now that we have returned to the Nigenkai," Jaiel said sarcastically, "there is something I wish to discuss with you about this so-called 'Tournament' thing of yours. Since you got to select how we do this battle, my sister and I feel that we should get to pick where it is held." Yo stared at her dumbly, not really grasping any of what she just said. Kyoko, being a lot faster than Yo, readily replied:

"Fine. Just, no demon power booster fields, okay?" The sisters nodded in agreement.

Jaiel held out the palm of her hand. She closed her eyes and concentrated, drawing in a slow, deep breath. Sluggishly a ball of what looked like fire formed in her hand. Suddenly she opened her eyes and the ball of fire turned into a doorway made of flames.

"Eeeughh," Yo said, taking a step back.

The sisters and their team walked through the doorway and Kyoko followed.

"Gutsy move," Ryo muttered, following her. Kitako went in next. Ai took a deep breath and grasped her brother's hand. Together they walked through the Doorway of Flames to a realm unknown.

Did you like that chapter? Here is good news for everybody! After one more chapter of Hiei, Yusuke, Kurama, and all them, we're back to the kids for the Dark Tournament, er, Jr.! I guess you could call it that. You know, like your school musical, Guys and Dolls Jr., The Music Man Jr., and what have you. So get ready for the fights to begin!
