KK: Sry, my life's been a little hectic this past week. I haven't had much time to update. But I'm happy to say that I've finished writing this story, and now all I have to do is type it and post it. I'm sure all you fans of this story will be sad to see it end, but I'll have another Yu Yu Hakusho story soon. And I might even work on Alice Riddle.

Chapter 21: Counting The Dead
Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Kaita wove their was through the bodies. They were mainly demons, but they saw enough mourning to know the losses had been grave.
"Etsumo?" a voice yelled. It was Kurube, "Etsumo?" He ran up to Kaita, who was rubbing to head of a young boy. "Kaita, have you seen Etsumo?"
Kaita shook her head sadly, "No, Kurube, I haven't. I'm..." she trailed off.
Kurube was looking over her shoulder. Kaita turned to follow his gaze.
Coming toward them, carrying a body was Kurube and Etsumo's other partner.
"Tensai," Kurube said and ran over to her.
Tensai was crying, but she looked grave. Kurube slowed as he neared her. She shifted the body in her arms and whispered something to her partner. Kurube whispered something back. Then he pulled Tensai into a hug. She broke down and the two cried into each other's shoulders.
Kurama put his hand on Kaita's shoulder. She looked back at him.
"Etsumo died," she said quietly.
Kurama nodded, "I know. I was near her when she went down. It was right about the same time you transformed."
Yuusuke and Kuwabara came up.
"How did we do?" Kaita asked.
"I saw three dead," Yuusuke said.
"I found two," said Kuwabara.
"And Kaita and I combined have mourned with four people," said Kurama.
Hiei appeared at Kaita's side. He had been counting the dead demons.
"Fifteen detectives took down enough demons to help even the score," he said, "I'd say we definitely beat the demons. But if the battle had continued we would have lost."
Kaita nodded, "We lost nine detectives. I wouldn't want to be Kuenma right now."
Yuusuke gave her a weird look, "Why?"
"That's nine families Kuenma as to figure out how to consol."
"Well, you were amazing, Kaita," Kuwabara said, "I never knew you could become a griffin."
Kaita shook her head, "Neither did I. The only other time I've lost it enough to transform, I never lost it enough to transform from a harpy to a griffin. I'm glad I've never done it before and I hope I never do it again. I couldn't think. All I knew was that I wanted to cause Lord Aiten the most pain I could and then kill him."
This caused a stunned silence from her teammates.
Kaita laughed, "But, don't worry. I'm not bloodthirsty...normally."
The other's laughed with her.
KK: Sry, It's kinda short. But the next one will be longer.
