Hey, Kuwabara Kazuma, the man here. I've talked to Katzztar about her little writers block and convinced her for one way to chip at it is to create a timeline for the story. Feh, she's such a sucker for events fitting together. Well I hate to burst your buble but this current timeline goes up to only current events. Also there are several key events that effect teh future of the fic but haven't been revealed. Katzztar has made me hide those events and replace tehm with CONFIDENTAL. hehe if you're smart, maybe you can figure out these key events when some hints are finally revealed.

But then he he, there are to many twists for some to be guessed at.

((note- they never say if they are exactly 14 or 14 1/2 at beginning of show. Sometimes you can be 16 yrs 7 mo old but they simplify things by say you're 16....for the sake of my plot I'm saying that 6 months separate Kazuma & Yusuke so Yusuke is 14 yrs 1 mo &Kazuma is 14 yrs 5 mo at start of show)

-------(((It's believed that the Dark tournament and the Chapter Black sagas happened within the first year. Although I can't find any accurate records of the actual time passed. The tournament is said to last several weeks, while in the Chapter Black, the door was suppose to take 2 weeks to open, that time was greatly shortened. For my story, it's been about six months since the fight with Sensui, that it's been nearly 1 and a half years since the start of the show. Hiei-400, Kurama (human form)- 17, Yusuke- 15 1/2, Kazuma is a few months older than Yusuke. Which means, Kazuma's 15years 11motnhs old .

I'm also making Shizuru a little older, for the plots sake. After all, it's stretching people's belief for the things to happen to her (that I haven't revealed yet) if she was younger than 13. It's possible, but some people don't think so, it's just more believable for her to be 13-)))))-------------- -------------------------------------
