KK: I'm sry to say, but I might not be updating this story 4 a while. I have hella homework that I've put off for too long. Also, I like just finished writing this story in a notebook, and I've hit a huge writer's block. I'm gonna let the story sit 4 a while and then get back to it. But ill try to update my other stories now and I might even have a few new ones. I plan to make an Inu Yasha fanfic, but I don't know much about the characters. If any of you guys have good character bio sights I could use to learn more, that would be great. I'm especially looking for info on Rin, Sesshomaru, and Jaken. Thnx. Read and review.

Chapter 16: Kaita's Speech
Three hours later, the five detectives arrived at the Reikai Palace. The other seventeen spirit detectives were already there.
"Damn," Yuusuke muttered, "I hoped that if we waited long enough they would just leave without us."
"Nonsense," said Kaita, "We know the most about the enemy." She surveyed the crowd for any familiar faces. Some of the other spirit detectives looked younger than Kaita and the others, but most were older. Kaita couldn't find anyone she recognized, "Looks like Anya retired."
Her teammates looked at her.
"Who?" Kuwabara asked.
"Oh, nobody," Kaita shrugged, "Just a spirit detective I used to know. She and I had quite a few run-ins. She's very strong. But, she was getting on in years. I guess...wait. Shit, she's here."
The others followed her gaze. There, just at the edge of the crowd, a tall blonde lady in her late twenties had just broken away from her teammates. She was wearing a black dress and pink high-healed boots. Her blonde, curly hair bounced around her shoulders. She flashed a smile at Kaita as she walked up. Kaita smiled a fake smile back.
"Kaita!" the lady called.
"Hello Anya," Kaita said in a forced kind voice.
Anya gave Kaita a big hug as though they had been friends all their lives. Then, Anya stepped back and looked Kaita over.
"Well," she said finally, "You look well. You can imagine how surprised I was to see you here. I never thought Kuenma would be desperate enough to make a demon a spirit detective."
Kaita smirked, "And I never thought Kuenma would be desperate enough to keep an old hag like you as spirit detective. But, look. We're both here. Which means Kuenma must be really desperate."
Anya's mouth fell open in shock. Kurama shook his head at Kaita, who smirked and then moved on.
Kuenma soon came out. All chatter and other noise stopped immediately.
"Where are Yuusuke and the others?" Kuenma demanded of Botan, who stood next to him.
Yuusuke pushed through the crowd to the front, "We're right here. Don't lose your pacifier."
Kuenma scowled at Yuusuke. "Are all twenty two spirit detectives here?" he asked.
Botan flew up on her oar and counted head. "Yup!" she said.
"Hey, Kuenma," a man from the back called, "In your message you told us about Lord Aiten's army. So...um...what do you expect us to do about it?"
"I need you to fight them."
There were many shocked expressions and outraged murmurs.
"We can't fight them," yelled the man from the back, "We'll all die!"
Kaita looked around at the upset humans. She grimaced and ran up so that she stood next to Kuenma.
"Listen to me!" she yelled, "Listen!"
People stopped talking and turned to her.
Kaita was angry, "How can you say this is a bad idea? Are you all cowards? Do you not care about your world? If you don't fight, then first the Reikai and then the Ningenkai will be taken over. Everyone, your sisters, brothers, parents, and friends will all be killed. You have a chance to change all that. Are you just going to stand by and watch it happen? I'm sure you've all had a chance to fight against demons. You know how horrible they can be. I personally know how horrible Lord Aiten is." She paused and swallowed, "I was captured and tortured by his younger son. I guess my point is we can't just pretend this isn't happening. We have the power to do something. Don't you think we should use it?"
"But we could die," gasped a teenage girl with brown curls.
Kaita raised her eyebrows, "How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"Do you drive a car?"
"Yah."
"Did you know you could die driving?"
"Well sure."
Kurama smiled. He knew where this was headed.
"Did that ever stop you from driving."
The girl smirked, "No, but I am a pretty good driver."
Kaita smiled at her, "And would you call yourself a good fighter?"
"Sure."
"Then what's stopping you from fighting?"
The girl opened her mouth, stopped, and then closed it.
Kaita cocked her head, waiting for answer. When none came, smiled smugly. "I thought so." Then she went back and stood next to Kurama.
There was silence for second as Kaita's words sunk in.
Kuenma cleared his throat. "Umm, yes. Thank you, Kaita. Lord Aiten has camped his army in a valley in the Makai. Are all of you ready to fight?"
There was a low murmur and a nodding of heads.
"Good! Botan, I need you to lead them to the hill where they're going to fight."
"O-ok," she said.
"Wait a sec, Kuenma," Yuusuke said, "Do we get chance to back out?"
Kaita turned and punched Yuusuke in the face, knocking him into Kuwabara. Kuwabara dropped him.
"I was only asking," Yuusuke said indignantly.
Kaita bent over him, an evil look on her face. "If you think I'm going to let you back out of this, Yuusuke Urimeshi, you've got another think coming."
With that, she whirled around and marched after Botan.
Kurama chuckled at his girlfriend and then he too walked away.

"Do you think they'll come, father?" Bito asked.
"Of course, my son," Lord Aiten smiled.
Bito clenched his fist. "I will get revenge on the stupid koorime. No one will get away with killing my younger brother!"

KK: yah, short section with Bito and his dad. It was longer, but the longer version was where I had my writer's block. Well, review plz. Ill try to update as soon as I can.
