Catse: Hiyya peoples! Newest chapter here for you all to read! I hope you like how it is so far. I thought it would be cute. This chapter is my favorite so far, because it proves that one person doesn't always have everything they need. Sometimes, it's the little people that know what to do best. A little wisdom...heheheheh....

Kenya sighed as he and his group walked down the sidewalk of the main street of Tokyo.
Their father's had decided on splitting up, children in one team, the original Spirit Detectives in the other.
Yusuke had said that it was an excellent exercise, and would prove which team had more skill or perhaps the better modern intelligence.
In any case, they were equal.
The Spirit Detectives had the experience and the training, but the kids had the modern thinking, and the simple mind.
Kenya walked with Tsuki still clinging to him happily, chatting constantly about Kindergarten and the like, and how much fun it was to be a little girl.
He could laugh right about now that he was able to take a look around.
There were only two girls on this team, and two guys, and he was the one they both paid attention to.
As it was, Katai walked on the opposite side of Tsuki, also talking non-stop to him.
He didn't hear a thing either of them said.
Most of the time in fact, he kept his eye on the newest member of the team, Haku Minamino.
The boy was quiet...hadn't talked but once since they met him.
Kenya began to wonder if there was something mentally wrong with the guy, or he was just like that.
He decided he would find out.
"Hey guys, let's stop for a moment. We have to figure out how we're going to do this."
"Hey! Who died and made you leader?"
"Your personality did. Hey, Haku right? What do you think we should do?"
The boy in question stopped walking and stared at them, his pure blue eyes flashing intelligently.
"Such menial inquiries are far too inferior for some one of my stature to solve." Haku replied, staring at them blankly.
"What's your problem kid? He asked you a simple team question, and you out and plain insulted us!"
"You insult yourself when you speak girl. I would request you keep your idiocy to yourself."
"Why you....!"
"Calm down Katai. That was uncalled for Haku. I asked you a simple question. All I desire is you answer it." Kenya replied, glaring at the read-headed boy.
"And I will continue to reply that this is too menial for someone of my stature."
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" Katai screamed, attracting attention from the other people walking by. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT?! GET ON YOUR WAY YOU NOSY PEOPLE!"
"Katai! Quit it!" Kenya snarled, balling his hands into fists.
He didn't see Tsuki turn her head to look behind him, oblivious to everyone else in the world but him and Haku.
"For your information girl, I am a month away from graduating college, in which I am at the top of my class and I already have a job as a college professor at Harvard waiting for me."
Both Katai and Kenya stared at him in disbelief.
"Okay...repeat that, because I thought I heard you say you were in College." Katai inquired, sticking her hand to her ear and leaning it toward him.
"It is as you say. I am in College."
"How old are you Haku?" Kenya asked.
"Eight."
"THE HELL! YOUR EIGHT AND YOU'RE IN COLLEGE?!" Katai hollered.
Again the people on the street stopped to stare.
"Yes. Is that so shocking?"
"No Duh!"
(Chichiri pops in: "Not No Duh! No Da! Get it right!")
"Tell me, what do you major in?" Kenya inquired, absentmindedly sticking his hands in his pockets.
"Biology."
"Figures. You are your father's son. Well if it helps you to know, I have majored in History, all of it. I have a college degree in History from when I was in the Sixth grade and they gave me the course. I know the entire histories for this world, Demon world, and Spirit world."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then who murdered Oda Nobunaga?"
Kenya smiled before answering: "Akechi Mitsuhide, a general of Nobunaga's army, also called by his nickname Jyube, in which assasinated his lord on June 21st, 1582."
Both Katai and Tsuki stared at Kenya as if he had grown too heads.
Neither of them had any idea that he was such a professionist when it came to History. None the less, Katai couldn't help but mock the other boy:
"You see that all mighty and smart! He answered your question and even more than that! Take that!"
"Who were the Fujiwara family?"
"Childs play. They were a family of people living in the Heian period around the 700-1200 periods. They controlled the political scene for centuries by intermarrying into the imperial family and controlling the political offices or whatever they could. They're family met it's peak in 1016 with Fujiwara Michinaga. After him, their abilities as leaders declined."
"It seems you know much about Japan. What about America? Name the thirteen colonies first founded when reaching Newfoundland in order."
"Fine. Virginia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Conecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Satisfied?"
"Not quite. Name the American Presidents in order now."
Kenya sighed and relayed the information for each question asked, with a little more detail than was requested for each. Finally, about five minutes after the quiz began, Tsuki began to tug on Kenya's pants.
"What is it Tsuki?" He inquired, looking down from his little verbal scuffle.
"Somebody wants to talk to you." She replied, pointing behind them.
Everyone turned around to look, but found no one standing there.
"Tsuki, if this is another one of your games I'm gonna—"
"It's not a game! He's standing back there. He wants to tell you something. But he says you can't see him because you don't have the gift of sight."
"What the hell you talking about squirt?" Katai scowled, folding her arms.
"There's a boy overthere." She continued to point to the street behind them, to a lamp post that's light was apparently out.
"I don't believe this. Tsuki, stop clowin' around!" Katai grumbled, stepping over to the area the girl pointed to. "I don't see anyone here."
Tsuki all of a sudden broke into a burst of laughter, holding her tiny hands over her lips in an attempt to stop from attracting attention.
"What?" Kenya asked, staring at Katai.
Nothing looked different.
"She's messin' around. Come on Kenya, lets go find the kid—"
She didn't finish however.
All around them, the air seemed to get cold, and the people walking by pulled jackets and coats close to themm as they passed.
Suddenly, as if by magic, the lamp behind Katai lit up, shining brightly on them, even though the day was still bright with sunshine.
Katai's eyes snapped wide open for a moment, before she turned and slowly backed away.
"The hell..."
"He said—He said— Hahahahahah! He said that when it comes to dolls, you're more like the Ken than the Barbie!" She fell to the ground, tears in her eyes.
Katai's eye twitched for a moment.
"Why is that so funny?" she thought, trembling in anger.
"Calm down. Taking a simple joke rather seriously aren't we, Ken?"
"The name is Katai and don't you dare forget it!" she shouted out of no where, pointing at the street lamp.
It was now Kenya and Haku's turn to look at her as if she were crazy.
Tsuki finally stood up after all of her laughing, wiped her eyes, and walked over to Katai.
"He's over there." She said, pointing behind her.
"EH?!" She shouted, spinning around.
"Where?"
"He's not there anymore. Now he's next to the street lamp."
Again Katai spun.
"Where?!"
"Hahahahahahahah! Now he's on your head!"
Katai immediately smacked the top of her skull, as if she were searching out a bothersome fly.
Again Tsuki burst into laughter.
"The things he does to you is funny when you can't see him! Hahahahahahah!"
"So you can see him, but we can't?" Kenya inquired, stepping up to the jumpy teenager, and the laughing child.
She finally stopped laughing after a moment, to nod her answer.
Haku stepped up in front of Kenya, and looked around.
"I see no spirit. What is this you speak of? There is nothing here."
"Is too! I saw him! Don't call me a liar just because you can't here him!"
"There is no one here you foolish child."
"Hey! Your not that much older than me, so you can't call me foolish!" Tsuki cried in arguement, rubbing the tears from her eyes with her kimono sleeve.
They dropped to the ground in small crystals, clattering on the cement. They glittered a bright but delicate blue, pretty as can be in the lamp light.
"I repeat. The being you see is nothing but that of your imagination."
"Is that so. My...I looked real enough this morning when I looked in the mirror. I must be imagining myself then." The voice echoed in all of their heads.
Katai jumped in fright, pounding at the air in every direction around her body.
"I'm a Spirit Detective's daughter! You can't touch me!"
"I'd have to say that of all the people here, you make me laugh the most." The spirit chuckled.
"Are you Seika, the boy that died two days ago?" Kenya inquired, stepping closer to the lamp. He thought he saw a glimpse of something moving in the air every once and a while, and was convinced that it was the spirit they were talking to.
"Yeah. What of it?"
"We've come to get you. You're causing quite a ruckuss in the streets."
"Yeah so. The people I scared deserved what they got! Go ahead, check each on of them out! You'll find I'm write. As for your little visit, what do you mean come to get me. Like you're going to take me somewhere? If so, I ain't goin'!"
"You've been running away from Koenma and Botan for sometime now. They're furious. When you die, your supposed to go to them for judgement. You refused. They sent us, and we're only the minor wave compared to our father's, whom will be here soon if they're skills are still sharp."
"I refuse to talk to the toddler and the Grim Reapor chick! There's no way their sending me to the afterlife! I'm having too much fun here!"
"You're not going to the after life!" Kenya argued, shoving his hands in his pockets. "You weren't meant to die in the firstplace."
"Eh?"
"You heard me. You weren't meant to die."
"Of course I was. You are doing nothing but lying! Of course I was meant to die!"
'He doesn't understand. How can I get him to understand?'
"Well, considering you're some sort of freak of a ghost, how about you just come nicely and we'll discuss what to do with you, after we kick your ass!" Katai argued, balling her hands into fists.
"That's stupid! You can't kick my ass! You can't even see it!"
"I don't need to! Tsuki...where is his behind."
Tsuki looked at Katai in confusion, and then giggled.
"You can't hurt it even if I did tell you where it is because he's a ghost and you're not supposed to hit ghosts."
Katai growled angrily, glaring around her in a circle. "But daddy did say that you can catch one." She whispered, stepping past Katai.
"Mr. Ghost. Can we play now. You said we could play."
"Now? Well...I did promise and a man's word is his pride. Alright."
"Take my hand."
Tsuki raised her tiny hand up to the sky, and they only just saw it prickle as the cold essence touched the soft white skin.
"Got you." She giggled, as a huge array of yellow light burst out of her hand and around the spirit.
It created a net of yellow light, trapping and paralyzing the spirit that it circled. The spirit itself began to fight with it, and they could see it struggle under the yellowish net.
"The hell! What did you do?!"
"Daddy told me that if we did find you, that I should trick you and catch you. He said I was the only one that could see you, and because of that I had to be the one to stop you. So I caught you in my net, see?" She giggled again, and the net landed softly on the ground, the spirit within suddenly becoming visible due to the strange spiritual aura.
He was only about thirteen at most, with short shaggy black hair that swept in fine lines around his face, and piercing bluish grey eyes that gave off all emotion even if his face was plain and calm."
"Damn! Damn you all!"
"You have a dirty mouth! Be quiet!" Tsuki yelled at him, tying up her end of the net in a knot. "Okay, let's go find daddy and everyone else." She chirped happily, walking away.
Katai, Haku, and Kenya all stared at the four year old as she carted away the very thing that they couldn't catch.
'I guess that just goes to show that no one has all abilities.' Kenya thought with a smile.
'I gather we must find our father's, and end the case.'
