SEASON TWO

Chapter 17 The Dark Tourney Begins!

The dark tournament! For unbridled clashes of evil, nothing matches this contest, held by mortals made wealthy and powerful through the forces of darkness! In it, selected five-member teams battle to the death! Though demons are the typical contestants, humans who have stuck their noses too far into spirit world affairs are often forced to join ‘guest’ teams. Refusing to compete means death. The only way to survive is to win.

That is what you now found yourself involved in. You, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei stood with the other teams, those of which were made up of demons.

“Heh heh…I’ve looked forward to this.” says one demon.

“We can run completely a mock.” says another.

“We win, we get whatever we want!”

“I’ll dine on a thousand humans!”

“I’m almost drooling.”

“Don’t get too excited. You have to bet us, and that ain’t gonna happen.”

“You’ll hafta eat those words!”

“Say, I smell humans…”

“A pre-tourney snack, perhaps?”

Some demons look over to where you and Kuwabara were.

“This isn’t starting well. Urameshi’s late…” says Kuwabara, obviously aggravated

“Never mind that. Are you two ready?” asks Hiei, keeping his eyes and head forward.

“Me? You betcha! Kurama’s helped me shape up! I’m gonna win…and the demon world’s gonna fear me! No demon will dare mess with Yukina, or ANYONE I love again!” Kuwabara says, taking a quick look in your direction as he says ‘anyone’.

However you didn’t notice it, since you had grown to except the fact that Kuwabara and Yukina were just meant to be, and that it might be better for him if he didn’t fall for you. Didn’t mean you wouldn’t still love the guy with all of your heart and soul, even if you couldn’t be with him or have him love you back.

Kuwabara, sighed, but it went unnoticed.

“What about you?” Hiei asks, still keeping his attention forward, though he did take a side glance towards you, amazed at how tone you seemed to get. Your body had gotten leaner and a little more muscular, though it wasn’t as if it was unappealing or anything.

“I’ve gotten better, even have powers you haven’t seen yet. Kura-chan and Kuwa-chan’s help of course.” You say, giving a smile towards the fire demon.

Hiei looked towards Kurama and raises an eyebrow at him. “Kura-chan?” Hiei had an amused smirk and amusement obvious in his voice.

Kurama had enjoyed that nickname you dubbed him, until this ever moment. “It’s her nickname she gave me.” Kurama sighs, knowing all too well that Hiei would use this in some way against the poor fox demon.

“Hn.” Says Hiei, with a straight face, though his eyes do shine a bit with amusement.

Not only a few minutes later, had a huge ship anchored close to the shore. A man that could have been either related or actually black beard the pirate stepped off the ship and into the crowd of bloodthirsty demons.

“All aboard. Everybody. Time to go.”

Kuwabara walks up to the short demon “Hold it! One ‘guest’ isn’t here yet!”

“Yeah? Rules say yer late, yer a refuse. We’ll send assassins to deal with ‘im.” says the black beard look a like.

“No need for that.” came a very familiar voice from behind you. You had already sensed Yusuke and the ‘mask fighter’ only ten minutes ago. You all turn around to Yusuke, who had his hair down and with out gel walking up to his teammates, the mask fighter closely behind.

“Sorry to hold up the party.” says Yusuke with a cocky grin.

“Where have you been, Urameshi?!” shouted Kuwabara.

You grin, like a little girl who just saw her dad come home from a business trip on Christmas and gave him a hug tackle, causing him to fall backwards with you on top of him.
“I missed you too lil sis!” says Yusuke laughing, glad to see you.
He had missed you. He thought you where just as fun as Kuwabara, just that he didn’t have to mess with you to have fun with you.

“I really missed you too big brother!” you shout, giggling a bit.
You had missed him. He was fun, especially since he was exactly like you! You could have been twins, if you weren’t from ‘another dimension’ and had his looks.

“Urameshi?” you heard a demon say, as you begin to squeeze the life out of the poor boy.

“The one who got Rando and Suzaku…” says another demon.

“We take him down, we got it made!” says another.

You got off of him and he quickly got up, and then helped you to your feet as well.

“Whoo! I’m stiff and sore all over…you tackling me didn’t help (YFN), though I didn’t mind getting hugged by my favorite lil sis.” grins Yusuke, and giving you a wink.

You laugh.
“I’m your ONLY little sis or only sis for that matter!”

“True.” He says, putting you in a headlock, and after giving you a noggey, let you go.

“You look pretty shaky and I hate to think why.” Says Kuwabara, ignoring the display of ‘affection’ between the two of you, though Kurama and Hiei had caught it and inwardly smirked.

Hiei walks up to Yusuke.
“Yusuke.”

Yusuke turns and just misses Hiei’s sword. Hiei kept attacking Yusuke with his skill swordsmanship, though Yusuke seemed to easily dodge all of the fire demon’s swipes. You were able to see the whole thing, since your spiritual powers had grown greatly with the training Kurama, and even Kuwabara, had put you through.
“They’re moving so…so fast! I almost can’t follow….” Says a dumbfounded Kuwabara.

“I’m having no problems.” You say, grinning.
“What?!” says an astonished Kuwabara, not being able to believe that YOU can see their movements, when HE can barely see them.

Then Yusuke ends the little ‘warm up’ by easily catching Hiei’s blade with his bare hand.

“Phew! Nice to see you too Hiei.” Says Yusuke,

Hiei smirks as he puts his sword away.
“I don’t know how you did it, but your skills are almost adequate.”

“Almost adequate?! I couldn’t even move like that in a million years!” says Kuwabara

“Don’t sweat it. You did follow their moves which show you’ve improved, as well as (YAFN)-chan.” Says Kurama.

Yusuke and Hiei both raise an eyebrow.

“(YAFN)-chan?” Yusuke says as a grin appears on his face.

You blush a bit, a little embarrassed at the nickname. Kurama chuckles

“My nickname for her.”

“Yeah that’s right…Kura-chan!” you say, now wanting to embarrass the fox for embarrassing you.

Yusuke grins even more

“Kura-chan? Man, what did I miss?” he asks.

“The best two months of my life!” you say, not meaning to say that, but it was the truth.

It had been the best two months of your life. It was just fun training with the two boys.

Yusuke and Hiei give you a look.

“What actually did you three do for two months?” asks a suspicious Yusuke, thinking that you wouldn’t think training for two months straight would be ‘fun’.

You, Kurama, and Kuwabara looked at each other and grinned.

“Nothing too important.” You say.

“All we did was train.” Says Kurama.

“Yeah.” Says Kuwabara.

The two boys, who were out of this little loop, gave the rest of you an unbelieving glare.

Hiei then notices the ‘masked fighter’.

“I suppose short stuff here is our fifth member?” asks Hiei, not too impressed.

The rest of you look at whom Hiei was speaking about.

“Someone shorter then Hiei?! I can barely see him! If I sneezed, I’d blow him clear to mars!” says Kuwabara, shocked that people could actually be that short.

“Let’s just say for filler, we could have done worse.” Says Yusuke

“That so? I dunno…” says Kuwabara, not really believing someone THAT short could be of any help.

Then you realize that they forgot about you.

“Hey, wait a minute! I’m the fifth fighter! Remember? Even Toguro said I had to fight or I’d be killed too…” you look a little scared at that thought. You still were not sure what would happen if you did die here.

Yusuke pales. He had forgotten that. He had been so worried about finding a fifth player to replace you that he forgot that Toguro said that you HAD to fight.

“Crap! I forgot about that! What are we going to do now?”

“Why don’t they switch off? You know; every other member or something between the two fighters? Or we can use one of them as an alternate fighter, incase one of us cannot fight?” suggests Kurama, always being the more logical one out of the group.

“Can we do that? I mean, it kinda sounds like cheatin or something.” says Kuwabara.

“It follows the count of team members, and satisfies Toguro’s request.” says Hiei.

You all agree on that and board the ship.

“Up anchor!! Two hours to Hangman Island…” says the captain.

You were all standing around, some demons glaring at Yusuke, others at you and the rest of the gang. Then the captain stepped out on the upper deck of the ship.

“Your attention please!! This is no pleasure cruise! We’ll conduct tournament preliminaries…on the ship…starting now!” says the captain.

Just then, a circular platform began to rise from the middle of the ship, stopping about ten feet from the boat’s deck. Stairs had also risen with the platform.

“Sixteen teams will compete in the Dark Tournament. Fifteen are waiting on Hangman Island! One team from this ship will fill the sixteenth slot.”

Kuwabara growls “No one told us about this!”

“Must have been a surprise saved just for us on the ship.” You mumble.

“Each team will pick its strongest member…and these will fight for participating in the tournament.” Says the captain.

You all watch as some demons start towards the platform, most of them big guys.

“A battle royale?! In those it ain’t always the strongest who comes out on top! Hey Urameshi! Here’s your chance to show your new stuff!!” shouts Kuwabara, turning to find a sleeping Yusuke.

“Urameshi!!”

“Shhh! Kuwa-chan! He’s asleep!” you say, making the red haired teen’s face turn red.

“NO WAY!!” Kuwabara then grabs Yusuke shirt and starts to yell in his face.

“How can you sleep?! Yer team captain!! C’mon wake up!!”

“Shhh!! You’re gonna wake him up!” you yell, knowing Yusuke needs his sleep, and also trying to get a rise out of Kuwabara, which was always fun to do.

“That’s the point (YAFN)-chan!!” shouts Kuwabara.

“This can happen after extreme training. He’s fallen into deep sleep to restore strength and his aura.” Says Kurama.

“Say what?! Then who’s going up there?! And don’t you EVEN think about it (YAFN)-chan!!” shouts Kuwabara, who glared at you.

You were in mid step, ready to climb up onto that platform and kick some serious demon butt. You put your leg back down and pout, trying to lighten the mood.

“You never let me have any fun! You’re worse then a mother!” you say.

Then the mask fighter moves toward the platform

“Guess that’s settled. He’s going. At least we’ll see what he can do.” Says Hiei.

‘She.’ You think and giggle a bit, which earns you a look from the guys.

“Sorry, I’m a little hyper.” You say, which was true, you were.

It was exciting, and when you got excited, you got hyper; which was worse then a sugar high; although both Kurama and Kuwabara already knew this and they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile at you.

“What if he loses?! I don’t think losing teams just go home!” shouted Kuwabara a bit worried about this new person who came with Yusuke.

“Probably right. We might have to kill everyone aboard…so there’ll be no one left to complain.” Says Hiei, with a grin, which creped Kuwabara out.

“Tuhrrific.” Says Kuwabara.

“He won’t lose. Like you said Kuwa-chan, ‘it ain’t always the strongest that come out on top.’ So you don’t have to worry. Besides…I sense a great power deep with in him. He’s doing a good job of hiding it, but I can still sense a bit of his power…and trust me…there is a lot of it.” You say, calming down from your moment of hyper ness.

It was true. You could sense Genkai’s power, which was remarkable, though she was hiding it. It seemed to you, that your spiritual powers had greatly improved, which made you very proud.

As soon as the mask fighter steps onto the area the captain shouts “Begin!!”

“Heh heh…the puny one’s first.” Says a demon

“Kill ‘em in turn…”

“..starting with you!”

“Pile on the shrimp!!”

All of the demon’s lunge at the masked fighter, who stood *her* ground.

“I knew it!! They’re ganging up on him!!” shouts Kuwabara.

“No room to run! He’ll be mashed flat!” says Kurama.

“I believe in the person Yusuke brought.” You say with a grin.

In one movement, the masked fighter blasts all of her attackers with a spirit gun blast.

“Point, game, and match to Team Urameshi! They will take the sixteenth slot in the Dark Tournament!!” says the captain.

‘That little guy used…Yusuke’s reigun! But…’ thinks Kuwabara, astonished at what the mystery fighter did.

“He deep-sixed every one o’ them!! Using Urameshi’s shotgun! Who is that guy?!” shouts Kuwabara.

“I think Yusuke knew this would happen.” Says Kurama, smiling as he looked over towards the sleeping Yusuke.

“Well duh! Don’t doubt him! My big bro knows what he’s doing…well some of the times, and this happens to be one of those times!” you say with a grin.

“That’s for sure!” says Kuwabara.

The mask fighter walks up to the rest of you.

“That was ace! Welcome to the team! Just one thing…who are you?” asks Kuwabara.

You sense some the rest of the demon’s becoming enraged and coming towards you all. You summon your spirit bow and turn to the bloodthirsty demons. The mask fighter points behind Kuwabara, who then looks and sees the teams lunging at you all.

“Screw the rules!!”

“Kill ‘em! We’ll be famous!”

Kuwabara, the mask fighter, and you all jump out of the way, just in time. There was a creator in the deck where the there of you were not only moments before standing.

“Looks like we’re up. Ah well, its better then sitting around.” Says Hiei.

“I’d say so...” says Kurama, a rose in his right hand. In a flash, Hiei is standing with his back to some demons, which fall apart onto the deck floor.

“Petal Whirl Wind!!” shouts Kurama, as he spins in a circle, killing off demons with the rose’s petals, which become daggers.

You look at Yusuke and notice several demons heading for the sleeping teen. “Yusuke!” you shout, once again losing yourself with in the scene.

“Heh! Dead to the world!!”

“And dead for real in a second!”

Kuwabara, hearing your cry and the voices of the two demons going for Yusuke, he turns to see the two scumbags.

“Aww, cripes! Urameshi! He’s so out, Akiko Motsunuto couldn’t stir him if she sang right in his ear!” shouts Kuwabara.

You look at him. ‘Man, I don’t know any of these people they talk about.’ You think.

“That’s the least of your problems.” Says a demon, behind Kuwabara.

He sees a few more demons coming up behind him. “It’s over kill but…Double Sword Fencing!! “Shouts Kuwabara. Two swords appear one in each hand.

“Clear off or you’re hamburger!!” says Kuwabara, slicking all of the demons into many pieces.

You were having problems of your own. You weren’t as strong, since you weren’t singing since you didn’t have any songs in mind, but you were still strong enough to kick these demon’s butts.

“No chance! I’m taking his head…and making my fortune!!” says a demon that had somehow gotten past both you and Kuwabara’s ‘barrier’ which was the two of you.

“Die Urameshi!!” says another, who had followed the first one.

“No! We’re too late!!” shouts Kuwabara

All of a sudden, the two demons went flying. Yuskue had knocked them clear to the moon.

“Mnn-wuh…gmmm….RAAAH!! NO WAY, Y’OLD BIDDY!! I’LL KEEP GOIN AND GOIN AND GOIN!!” shouts a ‘sleep fighting’ Yusuke.

“Reminds me of the energizer bunny.” You mumble, after giving a sigh of relief, while knocking another demon off the boat and into the open ocean with your bow.

“Whew! Even in his sleep he trains! The regimen’s become instinctive.” Says a relieved Kurama, who had also seen the two demons going after Yusuke, but was too busy him self to give him aid.

“Old biddy?! So he was training with that shrimp of a sensei…Master Genkai?!” says Kuwabara, still kicking some demon butt as he looks over to the mask fighter, who is making her opponents look like fools, easily defeating them.

‘Oh yeah! Kuwabara knew that the mask fighter was Genkai, until she reviled her self to be a younger version!’ you think, watching Kuwabara fend off more demons, and thinking at the same time.
You smirk ‘And who said he can’t do too things at once!’

Kuwabara watches the mask fighter dodge and easily deflect demon after demon.
'Couldn’t be her! Why’d she risk her neck? If not her, then who…” thinks Kuwabara, while slicing more demons with his Double Sword Attack.

Meanwhile, on the upper deck, watching this whole scene is the captain.

“Mr. Sakyo was right…random thugs just annoy these guys. I’d hope to see their potential, but they’re barely giving 10 %...Urameshi and that girl barely 5 %!” the captain thinks.

After all of the demons were either knocked off the boat or killed, you had noticed the island.

“That’s gotta be Hangman Island!” shouts Kuwabara. “Who know what horrors await us there?! Brace yer selves’ guys! And look sharp!” says Kuwabara, sounding like an announcer from the show.

At this thought you giggle and then saluted.

“Aye Aye captain Kuwa-chan!”

“This ain’t funny (YAFN)-chan! I’m being serious! We gotta be careful!” he shouts.

“I know. I just hate it when things are just too serious, that’s all. You know that.” You pouted.

“Well this is serious and shouldn’t be taken lightly woman.” Says Hiei, actually agreeing with Kuwabara.

You glare at Hiei and then sigh. “Fine.”

You help Kuwabara with the sleeping Yusuke off the boat and started to walk to wards the hotel. You were told that someone had already brought your stuff to the hotel and would be waiting in your rooms. As you all entered the hotel, you were amazed at how fancy it was.

“Geeze…pretty ritzy joint. What gives?” says a ‘yowzaed’ Kuwabara.

“Welcome honored guests. Let me show you to your room.” Says a butler.
You all follow him.

“Bonanza weird. This is the Dark Tournament?” says Kuwabara, still shocked at how nice they were treated and how beautiful the hotel was.

“Well, it is funded by the rich and evil, Kuwa-chan. Obviously they would want to impress their ‘victims of their enjoyment’ by having them stay in a nice place. Probably to give us a false sense of security or something” you say.

Kuwabara looks at you “Where do you come up with this stuff?”

You smile “All up here.” You say, pointing to your head with your free hand.

Hiei snorts “Like there’s anything really up there.”

“Oh sit on it!”

Somewhere else on the island…

““So where is he, Botan, huh?!” asks a very pissed and worried Keiko.

“Calm down, Keiko.” Says Botan.

“How can I calm down?! We almost died because of Yusuke!” shouted the furious girl.

“Not so loud!” says Botan, giving the on lookers a weak smile.

“We have to keep track of where he goes, what he does, so we can be ready-“stammers Keiko.

“I know I know.” Says Botan.

'Growing up with Yuskue, she had to be plucky and fearless! She didn’t blink when I told her about the Tournament. She just shouted “Take me there!' thinks Botan.

“Wow! Shizuru, check out that chandelier!!” shouts Atsuko, Yusuke’s mother, Shizuru right behind the woman smoking.
Botan sweat dropped. 'I’m worried…'

In your room…

“Man, talk about posh! This’d be a great vacation spot!!” says Kuwabara, sitting on the bed where he put the still sleeping Yusuke on.

You sensed someone follow you guys in when you first came to the room and were really trying not to look at the intruder, even though you knew who it was. You knew it was Rinku, but you didn’t want the other guys to know. However, you couldn’t help but turn your head in his direction, not actually looking at him, but letting him know you knew he was there.

A bellhop came in with a cart with 6 cups of tea.

“Lady and Gentlemen…” he said with a bow before he left.

Kuwabara glares at the cups.

“This stuff ain’t poisoned, is it?” asks a suspicious Kuwabara.

“Not likely-The Tournament’s all about maximum combat, so they want every contender at peak potential.” Says Kurama, sipping from his cup.

“The hosts are especially interested in seeing us in action before we’re torn limb by limb…” says Hiei, before he takes a sip from his cup. You sense Rinku move from his spot and grab one of the cups.

“Well, it never hurts to be careful. I’ll stick to my own beverages, thanks. You want one (YAFN)-chan?” asks Kuwabara, pulling out an energy drink from a yellow backpack he had worn, not trusting anyone other then maybe you and Kurama.

He would trust Urameshi to a point, and he wouldn’t trust Hiei with his life, especially since the guy gave him the creeps and he didn’t know that much about the ‘shrimp’.

“No thanks. I’m not thirsty.” You say, trying not to look at Rinku.

“Odd…there’s a cup missing.” says Kurama, frowning as he looks at the tray that was holding the remainder of the cups on the coffee table.

“Huh? There’s six of us and six-cups.” Says Kuwabara.

“That’s what’s odd. Yusuke’s still asleep…but his cup is gone!!” says Kurama.

You finally look at him, and everyone else follows suit. There’s Rinku on the table, cup in hand.

Kuwabara stands up.

“Hey! Who’s that?! How’d he get in here?!” he shouts.

“He must’ve been hiding some place!” says Kurama. “Then came out and took the cup without us noticing…”

“Naw, I came through the door like you did! Forgot to knock, though.” Grinned Rinku.

He took off his hat.

“Allow me to introduce myself-Rinku. Team special ops. My crew, the Jolly Devil Six, will be your opponents in the first round tomorrow.” He says, giving a nod.

“Jolly Devil Six? Isn’t it only five to a team?!” says Kuwabara, completely forgetting that you guys had six team members as well.

“You have six people.” Says Rinku, confused at to why Kuwabara was complaining about his team having six people.

“Well, that’s because I had to fight and Yusuke accidentally brought an extra person to be the fifth.” You say.

“Ah, well that means one of you two is an alternate, if one of you dies in battle. The six of us are all tough as nails, so we choose our alternate by rock-paper-scissors.” Says Rinku.

“Must be nice being the ‘guest’ team. You don’t have to sit through the opening ceremonies or rule meetings. ‘Course, you also don’t need to negotiate for prizes, ‘cuzz you’ll be taken out way early.” Says Rinku, balancing himself on the now empty teacup.

'Lil punk thinks he’s being funny? I’ll show him funny if he keeps this up.' thinks Kuwabara.

“It’s just a fact the captain of the previous winning team nominated you guys as guests.” Rinku continued.

You sense Zeru behind you and tense up. You were fine with Rinku, but Zeru made your skin crawl. You really didn’t like him and your spiritual awareness went haywire. You didn’t like the guy when you first saw him in the show.

“…but from what I see, I could take y’all myself in an elimination match (where if one member beats another, he keeps going to fight the next person and the next, until he loses. Then they switch to their second member, ect)” says Rinku.

You look behind you at Zeru.

“That will do, Rinku...” he says.

Everyone now looks in the same direction you are.

Rinku ran towards his teammate.

“Sorry Zeru! Got carried away! This tournament stuff is just so exciting!” says Rinku.

“Another lurker! He wasn’t here before, I’m sure of it!” says Kuwabara, sweating a bit.

“He was. In the middle of Rinku’s speech, this guy appeared. I sensed both of them before.” You say, then regretting telling them that last part.

“What?!” they all shout.

Rinku gives you a shocked look, while Zeru narrows his eyes at you.

“Why didn’t ya tell us?!” shouted Kuwabara, obviously mad that you didn’t mention the two intruders.

“I didn’t think Rinku was anything to worry about…” you say, scratching the back of your head.

“Hey!” shouted Rinku, not liking the fact you thought of him as ‘nothing to worry about’.

Zeru gives you a glare and turns.

“Enjoy your evening guys, and little lady. By this time tomorrow…you’ll be like that cup.”

You all look at the cup and found it broken into pieces, like it was sliced.

“Gack! When did that happen?!” says Kuwabara, a little freaked out.

“When he paused.” You say.

Zeru and Rinku leave the room and start walking.

“Man, that girl was creepy.” Muttered Rinku.

“The one that was a sleep…did he senses we didn’t intend to attack, or…” ponders Zeru aloud.

“Bet he’s just a loser hee hee! Now that girl…she was just too creepy! She knew I was there the WHOLE time. I could tell she was trying not to look at where I was! And she had some never to not ‘worry’ about me! She’ll have something to worry about if I ever go up against her…” Rinku started to ramble on, but Zeru tuned him out.

Zeru began to ponder on what happened back in the room.

'Those guys weren’t invited just to amuse us….tomorrow will tell I guess…comes the dawn and ….'
