Catse: Hiyya peoples! I updated! Sorry it took a while, school was merciless all this past week, and so I was stuck doing homework in the afternoons until bedtime! Oh well, I managed to update right? I also had something I wanted to ask. Do you think I should have made Kenya, Katai, and Seika older. As it is, I'm planning on making Seika fifteen or older, but I'm not sure. If so, tell me in a review! Well, here's the update and thank you to those that have already reviewed my stories!

"Seika, you weren't meant to die. How many times must I tell you that?" Koenma scowled angrily, glaring at the teen spirit that sat in his office. They could all see him now, for his rough look and his angry expression.
"I don't know! A thousand times...I'm not good at hearing anyways!"
Koenma threw his hands in the air in defeat and marched away back to his desk muttering curses under his breath so the children in his office couldn't hear them.
Kenya watched as the Junior ruler of Spirit world retreated to his seat, leaving everyone to stare at the spirit of a boy that sat right across from his desk, still chained up in the spirit net.
He probably didn't understand what they were trying to tell him. Being the ruffian he looked to be, probably meant he didn't trust people's words too easily. He probably thought they were trying to trick him into being judged, so as to finish with him and be done with it.
Kenya sighed.
He would have to step into this.
"Look. We're not trying to fool you." He whispered, placing a hand on the other boy's shoulder.
Seika glared up at him, as if he would bite if Kenya got too close.
"We're trying to bring you back to life. You weren't meant to die in the first place, so just listen."
"How do I know you're not lying to me. You're annoyed that I'm a wandering ghost, so you want to get rid of me. I cause you too much trouble!" He shouted, shaking Kenya's hand off.
Kenya glared back at him and replaced his hand on Seika's shoulder.
Then he pointed to the Junior Ruler of the Spirit World. "You see that guy."
Seika nodded suspiciously. "That guy runs things here when his father doesn't. He has no reason to lie to you, and you have no reason to believe he is lying. Got it?"
"No."
"What can I do to get you to believe me?"
"Proof." Was the simple answer.
Seika glared at him to add effect, demanding that he tell him of one person that had his situtation and got through it.
"Alright. Now you see that guy over there?" He pointed towards Yusuke, whom at the moment was having a busy conversation with Kuwabara and his daughter Tsuki.
"What of him?"
"He got hit by a car over ten years ago, saving a little kid. Botan found him, brought him here, and he was to endure a test. The same test you're going to get if you're good. He endured it and everything else that came his way, and now he's living with a wife and a daughter and a respectable reputation here at Spirit World for being one of the best damned Spirit Detectives they ever had. That could be you if you only pay attention."
"Why should I believe you? I don't even know you. I don't even know if what you're saying is the truth. I will not just give in because you told me one guy did it!"
"You should shut your mouth you inferior excuse of a child." They heard a voice snarl from their right.
Kenya and Seika turned to see Kurama's son, Haku step up to them, a look of threat on his face. "I've heard stories of that guy." He continued, stuffing his hands in his pockets after adjusting his glasses. "He's been known to beat A and S class demons with the strength he possesses, strength he has worked hard to earn. It is also said that his soul is demon, even if his body is human."
"Really? I didn't know that. Who told you?" Kenya inquired, staring at the eight year old boy.
"My father. He makes sure to know everything he can about those around him, so as to ensure he doesn't get stuck with incompetitant people. He did a little research on everyone here."
"Oh...okay...I wonder if Katai knows about that."
"I doubt she does."
"Is Katai the Ken chick?" Seika asked, watching the two converse between each other.
"Yep."
"And that dude there is her father?"
Both of them nodded gently.
"Yo! Totts! I think I'm about ready to come back to life! The offer still open?"
Everyone in the office stopped what they were doing to stare at the young boy, trapped in the yellowish net.
"Well?"
Koenma grinned and jumped up onto the desk.
"I was waiting for you to say it. Alright! You're test is to hold onto this egg for a while. It will feed off of what you do, and then if you've done good things, it will give you your life back!"
He jumped down from the desk and turned teenage before he hit the floor.
Then, walking to the young man with an air that was his royal experience, gently handed him the egg once the net had been evaporated.
"So this thing is going to give me my life back?"
Koenma nodded.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Doesn't he need his body for that to work! What about his body?!" Yusuke shouted out of no where, pointing extatically at Koenma.
Suddenly, Seika looked extremely worried.
"What's wrong?" Kenya inquired, letting his hand drop from the other boy's shoulders.
"It's in one of the rivers of Japan, still in the car I drowned in."
"Not anymore!" Koenma announced happily. "I had Botan retrieve it while you boys were after him!"
"Wait, Seika, how long ago did you die?" Kurama asked, glancing at the walls of the office.
"I guess two or three days, why?"
Without answering, Kurama opened the doors of the office and stepped out, following his nose to a room down a few sets of hallways, everyone else following at his heels.
Finally, he came to a lone room at the end of one of the halls, and opened it up, to find Seika's body sprawled out on a bed, his chest rising softly, his clothes white and clean.
"I could smell you since we entered the office. River weed has a very distinguisable scent."
"Dude! I'm—I'm breathing!" He shouted, running to the body on the table.
He wouldn't say anything else until he had patted the pale white cheeks to feel their warmth, and had his head on his chest, amazed at the feeling of his own chest slowly rising and falling.
"Yes. You are breathing Seika. Still think we're pulling your leg?" Koenma grinned, stepping by him.
"Had you have showed me this I would have believed you!" Seika replied, anger and surprise lit in his face.
Yusuke came up form behind him and patted him on the shoulder with a grin.
"It's that exact feature that makes you want to beat the crap out of him, doesn't it?" He asked the startled boy, patting him a few times on the shoulder before moving on.
"Looks like you all are gonna have another member of the team, eh?" Kuwabara inquired, stepping by. "By the way Seika, thanks for at least warning our children, even if you didn't have to."
"Yeah...you're welcome." Seika mumbled, brushing him off.
Kenya stepped up to his side and chuckled.
"Well, if you're going to be on our team soon, I might as well introduce you to everyone. I'm Kenya. Kenya Nohara (or Nohara Kenya if you like, but I prefer the other way better). The guy with the glasses," He pointed to the Haku. "That's Haku Minamino, real smart guy so don't try anything funny with him. You already know Katai."
"Ken." Seika added, nodding.
"And well, you already met Tsuki too."
Tsuki in turn, hearing her name called, turned from her father's pants leg and grin and wave behind her.
Seika returned the wave.
"Now I'll tell you who you don't know. The guy there that caught you up in the net, that's Kazuma Kuwabara, Tsuki's father."
"So that's how they both were able to pull the same trick over my eyes."
Kenya nodded with a grin. "Yep. That over there, is Shuichi Minamino, but everyone calls him Kurama or Yoko. You take your pick."
Seika nodded again. "That guy there." He pointed to his own father.
"The shrimp?"
"Don't call him that!" Kenya hissed, although he couldn't help but smile in return. "He's my father."
"Sorry...but you have to admit, he is short."
"Yeah, so's my mother."
This caught a small chuckle from the other boy, in which it was only loud enough for the two of them to hear.
But after a minute, he reclaimed his composure, and began pointing at Yusuke.
"And that guy, he's like me right? What's his name?"
"That's Yusuke Urameshi. Leader of the past Spirit Detective's team."
Seika's ghostly face became paler that before, to a color he didn't think was possible for a dead person.
"Yu—Yusuke Urameshi!"
"Yeah...What's so spooky?"
"I've heard guys talk of him. Guys that used to go to school with him when they were younger. Real tough guys. They always used to talk of him, and tell all of those that walked the streets and would listen to a story about the punk who wouldn't die. They said he was the meanest kid anyone could find. Take a punch straight in the face with out even changing his composure, and you were lucky if you were able to punch him! They said one day, he just got hit by a car, and he was dead for a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden he was alive and well, and even more powerful and mean than before! He's practically a Tokyo legend!"
"Oh...so you know of his history. Yep. That's him." Kenya answered, nodding with a gentle smile.
"So you're saying the meanest guy in all of Tokyo is standing right there, talking with his buddies as if he's never beaten a guy before? What happened to the mean guy we heard about?"
"Yeah, that's Yusuke alright. But he's had a lot of fighting to do in his past, and it changed him quite a bit. He's experienced guys meaner than him, and lived to tell the tale, so he cherishes life a lot more. Plus, he married his best friend Keiko Ukimora, and they've been happily married for, what? Twelve years now...Thirteen?"
"Whoa...So that's him. I've always dreamed of meeting him, but they said he practically disappeared for the longest time."
"He was in China from what I know. Spent a good deal of time there relaxing and training with some of the top martial artists there. He only just returned three months ago."
"Really?"
Kenya nodded.
"Yep. Never got to meet him until he got back. Then I met his daughter, and she hasn't left me alone since."
"Yo Kenya! What's up?" They heard her call enthusiastically.
"Oh no..." Kenya whispered.
"Speak of the Ken doll!" Seika announced with a grin, watching as the younger girl stepped up to him, sarcasm evident in her face.
"And if it isn't the Kelly and Barbie dolls? How do you do?" She replied, bowing.
"Which of us would be te Kelly you think?" Seika whispered to Kenya with a smile.
"I heard that!"
"I know you did."
"You just watch trash head! I get you back!" She announced, marching away.
"God damned it's fun to get her ticked off! I should do that more often! I won't feel so gloomy!"
Kenya couldn't help but laugh through most of his chat with Seika. It seemed that when Seika relaxed, he helped everyone else to relax as well.
Plus, he kept everyone laughing, no matter what.
Kenya would like having this guy on the team. If things got rough, they could always count on him to lighten their moods.

Catse: Well there you go. What do you think of Seika? Do you like him? Do you hate him? I had a few of you tell me you hated Haku. Believe it or not, he's a good guy in this story. He may seem bad right now, but it's only because there's a greater reason. He's a jerk now, but believe me, later you're going to feel sorry for him, and the things he's had to go through. Oh, and not to forget. Please tell me if there is any false information in this chapter or any of the others. I did a little research for Yusuke here, but I had trouble finding info, so if I've written something wrong, please tell me! Oh well, until the next update, Ja Ne for now!
