I warned you that I wasn't going to suppress my big mouth anymore. Settle in for the long haul from here on out, LOL. If ya like epics, this one is prolly gonna keep ya entertained! Also, plot twists and surprises at every turn, highly likely. It'll prolly change every time I get moody...

'Nother note for all the Divas: Naturally, the boys are going to have the spotlight, as always. BUT, Mukuro, Fubuki, Shizuru, Natsume, Sasuga, and Kairi, will be adding some major Girl-Power to this story before it's over, so if you think like me, start up Independent Women (Part 2 for Kairi likers hehe) and enjoy! I want to shine some light on everyone eventually, so don't be surprised if Kayko, Yukina, Botan, and even Juri and Koto play a part in saving the day!

ONE MORE, and I'll shut up! There is now a link on my profile page to 2 pics of Kairi's daggers (yes, they will come up in a later chapter.) These aren't drawings, they're real photos of my dagger that Kai's got based on. They were too hard to describe exactly, so I yanked out the DigiCam and made some "visual aids."

I own nothing. Enjoy!

"How is it that every time I take this damn nature walk it seems longer?" Yusuke had been whining since the three of the had started up the mountain trail that led to Genkai's compound. They'd parked Kurama's car at the end of the trail. The roads here were too rough for a car to climb.

"It's like a walk in the park for me," Kaisei said, grinning wide at Yusuke. "Not getting out of shape, are you?" he laughed.

"Me? Out of shape? No way!" Yusuke wouldn't admit it, but this kid was starting to make him wonder about that.

"I could take this trail and 10 more like it," Kaisei bragged.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Your house is out on a trail like this! No fair!"

"You remembered!" Kaisei had been wondering how long it would take him to figure out why he was so at ease on this road. He was about to poke some more fun at Yusuke, but then, he saw his face change, from a man who was in a bad mood due to an exhausting hike, to a man who was lost deep in his own thoughts. He had gotten quiet, and his eyes were now pointed at the ground, a serious look in them.

Yusuke was remembering things. Every time he had taken this trip since Genkai's illness had started to show, he had done so. He remembered the first time he had taken this trail, and the countless other times after that. He remembered Genkai as she was. Visiting her now, it just wasn't the same. When he saw her now, he remembered something he had tried to forget for years. Holding her in his arms as she drew her last breath. He had lost her once, and now, it was nearly time for her to go again, only this time, it would be for good.

"Something still has me confused, Kurama," Kaisei said, thinking it better to leave Yusuke alone for the time being.

"That is?"

"Koenma said this Kuwabara worked in the city, and that he was taking night classes there a few times a week, too. Why does he live all the way out here? Isn't it a little bit far to travel?"

"Has Koenma spoke of someone named Genkai?"

"Genkai... Koenma hasn't mentioned her, but I recall hearing about her from my mother. She helped train my mother when she first became the Spirit Detective."

"She was Yusuke's Master as well. She fell ill some time ago. Kuwabara's wife, Yukina, is a demon who is very gifted in the ways of healing. Though Genkai's time is close at hand, Yukina insisted on staying, so that she could use her powers to soothe her pains, and to care for the temple."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." Kaisei now wished he hadn't asked.

While Kurama tried to make Kaisei feel better, Yusuke's mind replayed the night Yukina had made this decision. He would've taken that job in a heartbeat, not that he had a heartbeat, but he still would've taken the job. He'd tried actually, but Grandma didn't want any of those dear to her to see her fading. Yukina, mild-mannered as she was, had shocked all of them. She had put her foot down on the old lady. She had reminded Genkai that she had taken her in, and hidden her in this world, teaching her the ways of the humans. She had taken care of her. Now, she was going to repay that favor, whether Genkai approved or not. She and Kuwabara had just rented a small house on the other side of town, a few months before. They packed up the next morning and came back to Genkai's. Kuwabara spent nearly all his time traveling to and from town now, but, so far, Yusuke had yet to hear him utter a single complaint.

'Big oaf...,' he thought. 'But he's got a 24 karat heart...'

The three continued up the trail to the temple, but, an uneasy feeling set in. One Kurama was growing familiar with, as of late.

They felt as if they were being watched.

In Yeon's Compound...

"Who is she?" Ken asked, staring at the woman who sat at the small table.

"Her name is Mitzu. She was among the first five to join this group." Yeon noticed the way Ken was staring at the thin strip of black cloth that covered the woman's eyes. "She was already a gifted psychic. After watching Chapter Black, she began to see things the rest of us didn't. Once she viewed the victims on that tape, she began to have visions about their pasts. She not only saw their murders, she could see their lives before. The children being born, couples exchanging vows, parents watching first steps. Everything that was good for these people. Then, she had watched the suffering they had endured on their way to death. It's one thing to see millions of strangers being killed on a video, it's quite another to see someone you know being hacked down."

Ken shuddered at the thought. Seeing the strangers had almost driven him insane.

"After a couple of weeks of non-stop grief, she clawed out her own eyes, hoping she wouldn't see them anymore. It only took away the distractions on the outside, giving her mind's eye a better view. Over time, she harnessed her power. Now, she can see anything she wants to. She can find a person by their energy from miles away, then watch them, just as if she was sitting in the room with them."

"What's that thing she's holding?" Ken asked, looking at the little glass ball she held in her right hand.

"Never heard of a crystal ball?" Yeon laughed. "That little ball gives her a place to focus her energy. She can show us what she sees by concentrating her energy into something solid."

"Like a psychic TV or something?"

"Come here, and I'll show you."

They crossed the room and sat on two of the pillows in the floor, facing Mitzu.

"I've found the boy you were looking for, my Lord."

"Now, Mitzu, it's a little bit early to be using such formalities. Address me as always."

"Yes, sir. I've found the one they call the Spirit Detective."

"Excellent."

"There's more good news. He's traveling with two of the other boys you asked me to locate. Kurama, the spirit fox, and Yusuke Urameshi, the former Spirit Detective. They are currently seeking the third. Kazuma Kuwabara will be among their ranks, soon."

"They're making this quite easy on me. I won't have to resort to Plan B, after all. If Ditra's report was right, and it seems that it was, the playground I set up for the two detectives should not only get Spirit World out of my way, but the former detective and his team, also."

Back to Yusuke...

The crew heard a rustling in the bushes. Kurama placed one hand over his shoulder, ready to draw his weapon. Yusuke and Kaisei took defensive stances, waiting to see what was coming toward them...

"Oh, come off it already, Kaisei! You should know it's only me!"

"What the-?" Yusuke dropped his stance and stood in confusion. Who was that girl he heard? Kurama let his body relax somewhat, but allowed his hand to rest on his shoulder, until Kaisei confirmed this voice to belong to friend or foe.

"Fubuki?"

"Yeah, DUH! You should be ashamed of yourself! Not knowing you own sister's energy by now!"

A girl came out of the bushes. Judging by her expression, she was NOT happy with Kaisei. She was about the same height as him. She wore a pair of jeans, not quite as worn or faded as the ones her brother sported, and a white T-shirt, sewn to look like a jersey. Yusuke and Kurama couldn't help but notice that the shirt had the word "DIVA" above a # 01, in block letters.

"I'm just a little edgy, sis. Things are getting weirder and weirder."

"Yeah, and they just got worse."

"Huh?"

"Koenma sent me to find you. He got some kind of letter from the Demon World. He said he wanted us all in his office, now!"

"What? Koenma's got you playing errand girl, now?" Yusuke said, looking at the girl who had done a lot of growing since the last time he'd seen her.

"Errand girl? I'm a Spirit Detective!"

"I thought he was the Spirit Detective!" This day couldn't get any more confusing for Yusuke.

"I am," Kaisei answered. "We're both detectives, now. I joined up right after I turned 13, and sis came along a couple years later. And yeah, that does make me the youngest Spirit Detective ever," he finished, flashing a proud, sparkling smile.

"Like I said! Come off it! We've gotta go!" She noticed the redhead standing behind the other two boys, watching all the commotion. "And by the way, who is he?"

"I'll explain on the way," Kaisei told her, motioning the rest of the group to follow him, as he once again started hiking up the trail.

Review time! Don't be too mad about my rambling, like I said, this is my stress reliever story. Not to mention, adult ADHD is kickin' in full force at the moment... Big thanks to everyone who reviewed already! I was shocked to get that many the first day that this was up:o)
