As the couple rested on the cliff overlooking the strangely enchanting horizon, the new day was bringing more that just light to the desolate world. In the sky if one looked hard enough, they could see black rays of light appearing on and off like flickering candles falling through the air. Every single day new arrivals came by the dozens..so many souls..so many tormented lives finally reaching their graves in the darkness.

Grim sat on a floating peice of land high up in the air, watching the black rays of light entraced. (remember Jack in the first entry?? He was on one of those too. ^^)
" So many...so many lives...Heh. " He began to laugh quietly to himself, an interesting thought popping into his head. " Heh, I wonder if Mandy ..or even Billy will one day show up here. If they do..heh, all hell will break loose!" He laughed heartily, just imagining Billy and his tremendous streak of stupidity, which would cause massive mayhem to the populace. And then Mandy, the tyrrant who always seemed to have a firm grip on his every move and thought, most likely she would use those very skills to take over TLOTS..and..reek untold..havoc.
"Uggg...Nevermind..it aint so funny anymore. " He shivered at the very thought of Mandy being in charge. It would mean HELL for the souls here, and Kitchen duty/slave driving all over again for him. " I hope those little MONSTERS stay alive FOREVER so I wont have to deal with them in death!" With that said, Grim faded away into the shadows, leaving his perch on the floating earth.

Jack walked through the green meadow, his bare skeletal feet feeling cool on the fresh grass that surrounded him. " Ahhhhh...!" He tilted his head back and took in the fresh air, filling his non existent lungs full of the sweet taste of morning. " ahh..what a day! Everything looks perfect! The sun is shining, the clouds are dark in the sky, ...the new guys are fighting...the- HMM?! " Jack laughed and stared ahead of him, seeing the detectives huddled in a circle, all of them arguing loudly.
"HEY!!! HEY YA !!! WHATS UPPPPPP!!" Springing into super sonic hyper Jack action, he lept into the air and landed only mere inches from Yusuke.
Turning his head around, Yusuke looked at Jack, his face a little red from yelling.
"Jack?" Nodding his head, Jack smiled at them. " YEP! Its ME! How are you guys?? Feeling good?? Arguing much lately, huh? Why? WHY?"
Hiei, who was reluctantly placed next to Kuwabara, sighed deeply. His head had already been throbbing from the constant screamings he was only moments ago enduring. " Feh, him again. "
After a long while of talking, (and more arguing) Jack and the detectives were heading towards what Jack had called, "THE PUMPKIN CLAN TREE".
"Why are we going here again?" Kuwabara asked, his (ugly) face set on confused mode.
" We're going to the Pumkin Clan tree because...I want you to meet everyone! They were all gone when I wanted to show you last time remember? Then we saw that- O! Well, speak of the devil! There she is. " Jack smiled again, his stitcheds stretching along his cold skeleton grin. " HEH, she hasn't moved from that spot! Heh, that must be her "Sacred place". "
"Wha-" Yusuke began, be he was cut off by Jack, who had already come up with a speech to answer such the question. " A "Sacred Place", is a place that is speacil to one soul, and one soul only. It is more or less, the place where they feel most comfortable..at ease..at home. Heh, I have one too, its a dark cave a few miles away from the Shadow Clan's territory. "

As Jack spoke, the young girl whom they had found yesterday, was sleeping soundly by the base of the huge willow tree. The swing on the lowest branch creaked loudly as the wind passed it by.

" You can never have what you want! "

" STUPID! You need to live in the REAL WORLD! Not in your HEAD!"

"...for once in your life, could you please TRY to be sane...?"

The girl moaned, her eyes fluttered open, and she took in the rays of morning..the voices echoing in her head, whispering to her silently. " Uggg...." Shaking her head, she closed her eyes and re-opened them to see a pale faced skeleton boy staring at her with a large smile on his face. " HEY! GOOD MORN'N TO YA!"
Blinking her eyes in a curious fashion, she nodded back at him, a smile spreading along her lips. " Hi..good morning to you too!" Her confusion was subsiding, and with it was her true nature, one of happiness and laughter.
The detectives walked up to Jack, they smiled weakly at the girl, all except for Hiei. He still hadn't forgotten the strange connection he felt towards her the other day..and..that name.

Jack opened up his mouth to speak more, but all of a sudden a loud voice boomed through the air, " JACK BONES! THERE YOU ARE!! YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!!"
"EII!! " Turning around slowly, Jack saw the approaching figure, her long red auburn hair flowing behind her as she ran. A not so happy look was upon her face, and jack knew all too well that wasn't a good thing at all for him. " err..HEY S-SALLY!! Hehe...please don't hurt me!! GAAAAAAHH!" He tried to run as she tackled him to the ground, her face rather serious. " Jack, you didn't come back last night! Why? Are you mad at me? Is everything ok? " Her voice was sweet and filled with curiousity, but Jack knew...he knew that soon enough, that very same voice would get louder and scream nasty words at him if he said something to upset her.
"Uhhh..." Jack sweated under the pressure. " Uuuuhhhhhhh..........."
