The Next Tournament, The New Fighter

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, or any other anime I may write about. I only own the original characters, of which you will rarely get warnings of.
Warning: this is my first story, and probably will be reposted several times. Also, it takes ages before I can get to the computer to type, so bear with me or don't read at all.
"Hey, Kurama! I thought you'd be off in college!" Yusuke exclaimed upon finding his friend sitting on the steps to his high school. "What brings you here?" "The college I go to is flexible," the redhead replied. "I can do most of the work at home." His expression turned grim. "There's another demon tournament." Yusuke frowned. "And we've been forced into going," he said darkly. "I'm afraid so. Genkai has found a fifth fighter. She won't say who it is." "I hate when they pull this on us. Is Hiei back from Makai?" "Yes. He was the first to know and his reaction was much like your own. We should get Kuwabara and head over to Genkai's place to train. They're waiting."
~o~o~
Hiei opened his eyes when he heard the rest of the group arrive. He'd been napping in a tree, but the carrot top was aggravatingly loud. The fire demon sat up. "So you finally decided to come," he observed. "Took you long enough." "Shut up, shrimp!" Kuwabara yelled. "Don't make me go up there!" Hiei rolled his eyes and turned to the other two. "They're waiting."
The four walked up the steps and into the psychic's house. She greeted them calmly. "The tournament is in three months," Genkai informed them. "It will be harder than the others. Get working or you will be replaced. Do I make myself clear?" "Yeah," Yusuke answered. "But when did you get a cat?" The said cat was a calico sitting on the table near them and watching everything that was going on. "Larissa is not my cat. She scratches, so unless you want to bleed, let her be." Hiei smirked as he glanced at Kurama out of the corner of his eye. The silver fox smiled slightly. Larissa was, in her true form, a vicious little bird demon they knew from the old days back in Makai. She had red hair and feathers of the same vibrant color covered her arms, forming wings. They were the only ones to fight her and survive. She joined them after that and stayed with Hiei after Youko Kurama supposedly died. "What are you waiting for, get moving!" Genkai ordered them and they left. "So, it's Shuichi, Yusuke, Kuwabara and Hiei," a voice said from the shadows of the stairwell. "My, won't this be an interesting ordeal. It's a pity you're not fighting, Larissa. You'd give those other teams a fight to remember." "I don't get why you don't want them to see you," Larissa commented, stretching. "They're bound to find out sooner or later, you might as well tell them." The voice laughed quietly. "All in due time, Larissa. All in due time."
~o~o~
Alesca: so, what do you think? Review please, and all flames will be used in a bonfire in which I shall burn all anime characters I don't like, namely Karasu after I finish this story. I don't write yaoi, but I have found that they sometimes make for a good read, as they are generally better written than a lot of straight fanfics. This story is going to be in English, except for a few random words, which won't all be Japanese.
