I'm back! Yay! After getting ten reviews! Ha! In your face Shiva!

Shiva: I said I doubt you'll get twenty reviews

Suntiger: I only wanted ten –sweat drops-

Celosia: Just shut up and let them read

"blah" talking out loud

Blah speaking in her mind

Spirit Detectives

Kuwabara turned out to be a tall orange haired male. He was around my age and went to the same school as Keiko. From what I learned, he was also a spirit detective. What I thought was cool is that he's the only human among the detectives. Surprising enough, he lasted through all the battles. I don't wanna be rude but he's a bit… well stupid.

Extremely dull Celosia grinned.

Don't be so harsh. We all have our flaws Solace folded her arms.

I think he's funny Shiva smiled.

You mean funny looking Celosia playfully kicked the veela.

I DID NOT! Shiva growled.

Girls, play nice Hecate said calmly.

At least he's not a jerk. If I run into another pervert I swear I'll be making them sexless Celosia snarled.

I agree Shiva nodded.

Oh sure, just leave me out of the whole deal I taunted them and they all gave me a glare.

"So what's your name again? I kinda forgot," Kuwabara sweat dropped.

"It's Varia Caligo," I repeated for the fifth time.

Keiko paid for our movie tickets and we chose our seats. I was stuck in between the two. Keiko was munching on popcorn and Kuwabara was slurping up a storm. I must have gotten bored some time during the movie because the next thing I knew it was over.

"Varia! I can't believe you! You fell asleep!" Keiko frowned.

"I'm sorry. It must be because I didn't sleep so well. I'll try to watch it again when it comes out on Video or something," I apologized. She sighed in response and Kuwabara stared blankly at the two of us. Probably wondering what we were talking about since he wasn't there to see me squirming on the bed trying to run away from the thing that was chasing me.

"Alright, what do we do now?" Kuwabara asked.

"I don't know," I answered.

"Wanna go to the arcade?"

"Sure," Keiko nodded and off we went again.

We came across the arcade, which I have never been to, and Kuwabara insisted me to play this game called Dance Dance Revolution. I examined the game. It looked difficult.

"I can't believe you never played this before," He said and he put these two coins in to play.

"Well, I don't exactly play a lot of things. I'm lazy," I mumbled as he chose a song. He informed me on how to play and I just prepared myself for the worst. The game started and even with Kuwabara's instructions I was lost.

Let me do it for god's sake Celosia muttered and took complete control of me. Now if there's anything I knew about Celosia is that she's very competitive. So as the game went on I, or should I say Celosia, was beating Kuwabara. At the end of the game I had won and Kuwabara was giving me a dagger glare.

"I thought you said you never played before!" Kuwabara growled.

"I know what I said and I meant it. I never played before," I rubbed the back of my neck and wondered how I was gonna explain this one.

"Then how come you defeated me!"

"Maybe because she played something similar to this?" Keiko suggested and I smiled. Mentally thanking her for saving my ass without her knowing exactly why I was able to overcome him.

"Yea, what she said," I grinned. Kuwabara continued to glare at me and I gave out a chuckle. I suddenly felt a chill run down my back and an instinct told me not to turn around. But I don't necessarily listen all the time so I disobeyed the instinct and immediately regretted it. There was a man standing at one of the booths that had flaming long red hair. His emerald sharp eyes stalked my movements and made me nervous. I was begging myself not to go invisible. Shockingly, I didn't. Maybe I have managed to control my powers overnight.

Yea right! It's probably gonna come back and kick me in the butt later on. My eyes trailed back to where the guy stood and he wasn't there anymore. I shivered and felt something warm breathing on my neck. I gave out a yelp and whirled around to see him standing behind me.

"Oh hey Kurama, I didn't think to see you here," Kuwabara greeted the person. Wait, that's Kurama. I slowly took a step away from him.

He scares me Shiva hid behind Hecate.

Don't they all Celosia scowled at the red head.

Let's not be alarmed yet. Since he's not the enemy Solace told us and we all agreed on something for once.

"It's nice seeing you too, Kuwabara. Keiko how is everything?" Kurama said softly. I peered into his eyes and noticed a golden speck in them.

That's Youko in there. He had yellow eyes if I remember right Shiva explained and remained hiding behind Hecate.

"However, I don't know you now do I? My name is Shuiichi Minamino. Also known as Kurama," Kurama smiled at me and I glared.

"Why were you staring at me earlier?" I retorted.

"Sorry, I sensed a strong presence in here and my eyes fell on you. You seem to have a strong aura but it's not precisely yours," Kurama looked confused. He obviously didn't know about the others so I wasn't going to tell him anything until I could actually trust him.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think you do but let's drop the subject," Kurama smirked. "You haven't told me your name yet."

"Should I be telling you my name?"

"Varia! Be nice. He's on our side!" Keiko looked like she was about to explode in rage.

"Varia Caligo."

"Nice to meet you, Varia."

"I can't say likewise."

"Why are you acting this way? Is it because of the dream?" Keiko was mad all right. I shrugged and glanced over at Kuwabara. "Wanna play another round?"

"No way, you'll beat me," Kuwabara folded his arms.

"What dream was this?" Kurama tilted his head. I glared at the red haired beauty and half growled at myself. Celosia was definitely rubbing off on me. Her hatred towards men was affecting my trust towards them too.

"Nothing. It's none of your concern." Strange that I can trust Kuwabara but not this Kurama dude.

Kuwabara is a human. He's too weak to cause you damage. Kurama on the other hand, is a dangerous person. Though, he probably means no harm. Be polite for once, Varia Solace sighed. I made a mock gasp.

That was like your longest sentence ever! I teased and she growled at me.

"I see," He responded and his eyes narrowed. Was he trying to intimidate me? So not going to work.

"Umm… hey is anyone in the mood for pizza?" Kuwabara tried to lift up the tension that was swimming in the air. Keiko looked at her watch.

"It's only one in the afternoon. Are you that hungry?" She asked the carrot top male. He grinned and nodded.

"Would you like to join us?" Keiko asked the red head and I silently begged for him to decline.

"Sure."

Begging doesn't always work though. I walked in the back of the group as we headed towards the pizza restaurant. Kurama looked behind him to make sure I was still there. I rolled my eyes and watched other people pass me by. One lady in particular bumped into me and I think she did it on purpose.

"Sorry," She whispered and whipped her light brown hair over her shoulder. I caught a glimpse of her eyes, which were red, and they glared at me as if she knew me.

"Do I know you?" I asked and she smirked.

"I might."

The nervous feeling was coming back and I looked towards where the others were. They were way ahead of me and kept on walking like they didn't know that I had stopped following them.

"Seems like your friends don't know that you're missing," She grinned and I winced.

She's an enemy! Get away! Celosia hollered but I couldn't.

I was stuck and I wasn't able to move. I gave the girl a glare.

"What do you want?"

"I don't want you. My master does," She said.

HARVA! Solace yelled. I didn't care who she was I just wanted to get away. All of the sudden, my surroundings started to change.

She teleported us Shiva scanned the area.

I kinda figured! I fumed.

"It seems that you'll have to come with me."

"I really don't think so," I growled. I know I'm not much of a fighter but because Hecate trained me some and I have the others to back me up, I can put up quite the battle.

"What makes you think you'll get away from me?" Her head tilted.

"What makes you think I'll allow you to kidnap me?" I snapped back.

"Because I already have," She chuckled and she waved her left hand.

Behind her there were ten creatures forming. They were brown, ugly, with a huge mouth and a nice set of jaws, rough skinned, and a long tail whipped at the back. One of them moved towards me and prepared to pounce. I tried to budge my stiff body out of the way but I was still stuck. The thing attacked me, managing to rip my shirt, but when it raised his claw up again to strike me the creature went right through my body.

You're phasing again Hecate said.

And then it hit me. I had the ability to phase, go invisible and create defense shields. Why am I so forgetful? I grinned and used Hecate's speed to deliver a right punch towards my kidnapper. A bruise slowly developed on her cheek.

I didn't know you could fight. I mean physically fight Celosia blinked several times.

All thanks to Shiva. Hiei taught her how to fight a little and she taught me. I answered. I suddenly felt something hard slap me in the face and I fell back a few feet. This is probably what I get for not paying attention.

"You shouldn't allow yourself become so open, dear, it leaves room for the enemy to attack," She smirked. "Let me introduce myself, child, I am Harva. The right hand of Cyrus."

"Figures," I muttered and wiped my forehead since blood was trickling down from that area.

Let me take over from here Solace demanded and I gave a nod cause like I said, I'm not much of a fighter. Solace possessed me and I could feel my body tingle with a newfound energy.

"Harva, leave before you regret angering me," Solace altered my voice.

"I see, so it's true. Solace you have taken the form of a human. You've always been so pitiful. Precisely why Master Cyrus killed you."

"Varia has nothing to do with my past. She's clueless about everything," Solace retorted.

"I bet but it doesn't matter now does it? I need her dead. I need you to remain dead," Harva extended her claws and Solace growled.

I sensed the alien's energy exploding inside of me. Not a very pleasant feeling mind you. It feels as if you're being torn to bits. I would have screamed but technically I'm not me anymore. My ears picked up a voice. Solace's voice that was whispering a language. Not like I could understand what she was saying though. Suddenly I was glowing blue. Out of all the colors. Blue. Solace gave out a yell of some enchantment and I was struck by lighting. Luckily, here I didn't feel anything but Harva who was walloped a few seconds later sure did. When she twisted back around so I could see her face, her eye was missing. Very disturbing.

"Let us go home, Harva!" Solace shouted and another blue ball formed at her hands. The sphere grew and swirled around my body. Solace better not physically harm me other wise I'm gonna have a hard time moving later on. Nevertheless, the sphere shot forward and caught Harva and her creatures in its rage.

The black dress that Harva wore was torn now and Harva didn't look so glamorous herself. Not only was her left eye missing but her arm was broken, her right leg was barely attached to her and a deep gash was threatening her stomach. There were only little bits of remains of the monsters that she had summoned. She gave out a yelp and collapsed to the ground.

Solace gave up her power over me and when I came back into place I somehow managed to keep myself from falling too. I stood up straight and walked to her slowly. I steadied myself as I glared down at her. She was panting and blood poured down from the back of her head.

"Mercy, please, show me mercy."

I didn't know what to say. This would be my first time that someone had asked, more like beg, me to show them pity.

Let me heal her Shiva's voice murmured.

What! Why! She tried killing us too you know! Celosia scowled.

Because she's a person too! What if that was you in pain instead of her! Shiva snapped back.

I wouldn't have challenged someone in the first place! Celosia argued.

Okay, let me put it this way then. What if that was Natalie there? What if she was the one that had attacked us?Shiva asked.

NATALIE IS DEAD FOR YOUR INFORMATION! Celosia bellowed.

AND SO ARE WE! Shiva roared. I covered my ears. Another first has appeared. Shiva never yelled before. I heard a groan and I came back to reality. Harva was still laying at my feet and she was whimpering. Sometimes muttering curses at me. I tilted my head and thought this over. This Harva person was Solace's enemy making her mine too. She kidnapped me and wanted to take me to her master for god knows what reason. She tried to get her freaky things to come after me and failed. She didn't really deserve mercy or any medication but then I remembered something my mom used to tell me.

Forgiveness isn't something that people deserve. It's something that they need I whispered to myself but allowing the others hear me at the same time. Celosia scoffed at me and Solace smiled.

It'd be cruel to leave her here on her own I said and let Shiva seize me.

Fresh energy poured from me as Shiva concentrated on her healing powers. I glowed purple this time. Wind collected around me and Shiva placed my hand on Harva's head, which in response she gave out another yelp thinking I was going to finish her off. The gap in her head begun to slowly mend together and the magic gradually made its way down to her body. I watched as Harva's body started to take its normal form again.

When Shiva finished I was given back my body and I stared at the so-called enemy for a few minutes. I wondered how she would react and soon I got my answer. Harva sat up and glared at me. Her left eye was still missing so she covered it up with a patch. Reminded me of pirates and we sat there for a while. Just staring at each other.

"Why?" She broke the silence. I gave a shrug.

"Felt like the right thing to do."

She tilted her head. I'm guessing this is the first time… another first here.. Someone had treated her with kindness.

You're such a softy, Varia Celosia frowned and I could feel Hecate smirk. Harva stood up and turned her back on me. With a wave of her right hand we were back in Japan.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I asked her as she walked away.

"Wherever I want," Was all she said and she disappeared. I was going to say something else but I was interrupted by a certain girly voice that was followed by a male voice.

"Varia! WHERE'VE YOU BEEN? HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW US TO THE PIZZA RESTAURANT!" Keiko looked ready to slap me.

"YEA! You've been gone for two hours!" Kuwabara informed me.

Wow, two hours? I expected a lot longer than that. I glanced over to the fox demon. He didn't say anything but he was studying me.

"What happened to your face, Varia? You look like you've been hit."

A smart fox demon at that.

"I just slipped and hit my face on a tree's root."

"But we're in the city," Kurama stated.

"You guys were in the city. I just got back in the city."

"Where were you?" Keiko repeated her question.

"In the park," I answered. Hey! I can lie!

"Why?"

"I thought someone was calling my name. Guess not."

"For two hours?"
You are so lame Celosia laughed.

"Well, then I got lost," I sweat dropped.

"You see! This is why you have to stay with us!" Keiko remarked. "You're new here so you should stay with the group!"

I gave a slight nod and sighed in relief even though Kurama was still staring at me. I really hate being stared at.

You hate a lot of things, Varia Shiva said.

Stop picking on me. It's bad enough I have to cover you guys up I scowled and Shiva gave out a giggle.

Suntiger: I'VE ESCAPED THE MENTAL ASYLUM! By the way, Varia's dreams are based on mine. Yes, I have really weird dreams. Everything Varia has dreamt of I already have. I use my dreams in the story.

Celosia: I think they get the picture.

Suntiger: Will you shut up and leave me alone!

Celosia: I can't. You created me. So guess what? YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME!

Suntiger: I'm gonna ignore her right now. Thanks to

Losaye Maiden: Hello new reviewer. I'm surprised you haven't lost your mind yet. I'm not contagious yay!

Schizo aka Steph: If there was a sequel to the bible I'd be hiding it too. Dad would just love it. Bible actually seems interesting. I'll have to steal it from my grandma. Oh wait, that's a sin. Guess I'll borrow it.

Eternal Midnight: Well, she met half of the gang. Now she just has to meet the other people. Any ideas on how she could meet Yusuke? Cause I'm actually out of ideas.

Re: Short name. But I'll deal. I LOVE YOU –huggles- don't take this the gay way. I just rhymed! Such enthusiasm! So yea.. I have ten reviews!

Kitten: Keiko is cool and she's one of my favorite characters. So unlike my other stories where I have her die to put in the dramatic flair I'm keeping her with Yusuke. Wow, I'm such a fan that I have her die in the other fics. Aren't I so nice? I already explained about Kuwabara's appearance in my review to your story.

Saori Aki Orimi: Now this is what I call a name. One that I'll never remember. Fantastic! I love you too! I would give out cyber cookies but I'm allergic to anything that deals with electronics. You see they explode on me. Varia is very much based me on. I space out, I talk to myself, I hardly pay attention, I have a sarcastic sense of humor and I'm just completely insane. Hence why the doctors came after me in the other chapter. Solace, I guess she's random. How is she random? Can you be more specific? O.o

Wolf- black-flame: My beloved supporter of all things. More like chaos but yea. I shall review your story when I'm not being supervised (being spied by my dad and the doctors are in the background).

Lady Liliana: YOU REVIEWED! MUWAHAHAH I LOVE YOU! It's been a while since I've seen you though. What have you been doing? And yes, straight jackets belong in the mental asylum. Look at mine, isn't it so pretty? It's unique. It's orange! XD!

Suntiger: Since I was waiting for the ten reviews it gave me a lot of time to actually type up the other chapters. So no writer's block for me! But then I got to this one chapter where I'm gonna need some advise.

Celosia: Everyone brace yourself. She's asking for help!

Suntiger: CAN IT FIRE BRAINS!

Celosia: at least I have one!

Suntiger: The doctors took it! Not my fault! Anyways, How would Varia meet with Yusuke? Yusuke's off in demon world taking over his ancestor's kingdom. Should I just randomly shove Varia in demon world? Email me if you can. You're forgetting a few things

Suntiger: Yea, I know that. I'm on spring break. So don't count on me making updates very quickly. Dad has restrictions on his computer. What sucks is that it's constantly raining.

Shiva: one more thing!

Suntiger: Out of the five spirits. Varia, Celosia, Shiva, Solace, and Hecate. Who's your favorite?
