Hey everyone! Happy Valentine's Day to all! So my birthday was in early February and I got a laptop! So it will be a lot easier to type up the stories. It will still take me a little while to write it, and type it, but hopefully not as long.

I suggest you read the other stories in The Urameshi Twins series before you read this.

"talking" 'thinking' flashback tv screen.

"Yukina! Yukina, wait!"

The ice apparition stopped.

Kuwabara ran towards her, "I just don't get it. Do you have to?"

The girl's ruby eyes opened, "Yes, I must. Clearly ice apparitions are meant to live in the World of Ice," she turned towards the boy.

Snowflakes were falling hard and a strong gust of wind was blowing. They were in the Ice World.

"Thank you for everything you've done. You're so brave," she turned and continued walking.

Kuwabara started to follow but stopped and watched his sea-green haired angel walk into the forest.

"Something's really come over him. I bet he's changing his image," Okubo opened his palm and put in a coin.

"I bet he saw a movie and now he's acting it out," a boy with a buzz cut placed some yen in Okubo's hand.

"No way, I say Kuwabara got rejected by a girl!" Miyamoto grinned, placing money in the outstretched palm.

"Bulls-eye, Miyamoto!" Yusuke grinned.

"Now wait! Kuwabara was not rejected!" Botan argued. She was wearing a school uniform.

"Well what else do you call Yukina dumping out on him and running back to the Ice World?"

"It's a long distance relationship! It's romantic!"

"It's sickening," Avigayil came up behind the two and continued walking.

"Says the girl who's going out with Yukina's brother," Yusuke commented.

Avi turned around wide eyed at her brother, "First off, I am not going out with him. Second off, what does that have to do with a long distance relationship?"

But before Yusuke could retort, Kuwabara walked down the road with his three buddies following.

"Dang, he really is down," Avi felt the melancholy radiating off of Kuwabara, "I'm heading to work. See ya."

"Bye," Botan sighed, "Yes, not every closed case comes with a happy ending."

"Guess that goes for Hiei, too," Yusuke stared at his sister's back.

"Yeah, I know. I've heard he still refuses to tell Yukina that he is her brother," Botan looked at Avi.

"That's right."

"There goes your last chance, Hiei," Yusuke looked at Kuwabara.

Kuwabara, Yusuke, Avigayil, and Hiei were seeing Yukina off.

"You really gonna let her just walk off like this without her knowing the truth?" Yusuke continued.

"It's not important. She and I have different mothers. We're only half siblings. There's really no point in telling her."

"Yeah, but, weren't you looking for her?"

"I'm a rogue and a convicted criminal. Even the two of you have had to come and capture me. Do you think she'd be happy to know that her long lost brother is a felon?"

"Coming from the prospective of a sister, I personally, would be happy to know who my brother is, even if he is my half brother in addition to the fact that he is a criminal," Avi spoke lightly.

"It's best to watch her from a distance," Hiei's Jagan Eye glowed.

"So is that why you got that fake eye put in? To see her?" Yusuke asked gently.

"Nonsense," Hiei turned around and took his leave.

The two made their way to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

"Well, there's good news too! You boys and Avi did kill the Toguro Brothers and save Yukina. And Hiei was kept from killing Tarukane. I would have hated ordering you and Avi to arrest him. Avi would have been heartbroken."

"Give me a break! That would've sucked!"

"And that's precisely why there was so much ado in the Spirit World about letting Hiei find out. He's considered a very valuable asset now. Now you see why we sent Hiei with the video tape just to keep him distracted. Avi would have made a good distraction too."

Yusuke glared at Botan, "Are all you people in charge of Spirit World just stupid? What if he looked at the tape? Ever think about that?! And I hope you didn't mean by Avi being a distraction in that sense!"

"I would never think of her being used in that way! Now in regards to having Hiei look at the tape, I have. But the fact of the matter is he didn't. So, ha!" Botan pushed him, "Enjoy you're shopping."

Yusuke tripped forward, "WHAT?!"

"Yusuke!"

At hearing his name, he turned around to see Kayko wearing an orange shirt and skirt set.

"Hey," Kayko waved, "You're late."

"Here I am," Botan walked into Koenma's office, "With another successful case from my best project."

Koenma and Botan were looking up on the TV screen to see a dead Toguro.

"Thank you, Botan. You're priceless."

"I must admit, I was about to give you a couple of black eyes," Botan glared, "Seems like you're always putting the twins up against people they shouldn't be able to beat, just to see what will happen."

"That's just a result of your inexperience, Botan. You underestimate their true potential. Why, I'd never put them in a fight I didn't know they could win."

Botan slapped her hands on the desk,"That's incredible sir! You knew all along?"

"You betcha!" Koenma laughed.

"Oh Koenma, sir," George walked in, "What should we do about the black suit and kimono and the eulogy I wrote for the twins' funeral?"

Botan gave the most menacing flare and Koenma grew very scared of Botan.

"Well, you know, a good leader's always got to take a few precautions."

"Big liar!" Botan grabbed the young prince by his shirt collar.

Koenma chuckled nervously, "Hey come on now, everything turned out good in the end, didn't it?"

Suddenly, the doors to the office opened and a terracotta colored ogre came rushing in with a video tape, "Sir! About the Toguro Brothers! It's unbelievable!"

"What?" Botan looked at the ogre.

"Sorry sir," the ogre put the video tape in the VCR, "We accidentally left the tape running after the battle."

"So, what's you're point?" Koenma asked looking at the screen.

"Just watch."

Toguro's diaphragm moved up and down as Kuwabara's Spirit Sword popped out of his abdomen. The Toguro that was a sword morphed back into himself and joined his brother standing up.

"What? What is this?! They're supposed to be dead!" Koenma screeched from his desk.

"Be quiet, sir," George hushed.

Sakyou appeared on the screen.

"Excellent performance, Toguros. You almost had me fooled."

"We have excellent hearing," Toguro answered, "Once we overheard the boys' plan it was simple to play along. Though I was afraid I was going to kill the three before I could fake a believable loss."

Toguro looked up and saw a hysterically laughing Tarukane. He turned back to Sakyou.

"I hope you don't mind me letting the girl go. I didn't see any good reason for making her die. Who knows, maybe you'll want to make a profit off her some day."

"That's fine, the girl is of no consequence to me now, not when I think of all the money our great plan will be affording me."

"We're so glad that our client is pleased. Now my brother and I, we have a little favor to ask in return. Please give us an opportunity to fight with that girl and those boys again. This time seriously."

"But of course Toguro. They will be three of the most anticipated guests in the Dark Martial Arts Competition."

"I should have known all along. Extorting Tarukane's fortune was only half your plan. You wanted to see the competition."

"You're very keen. So tell me what you thought of their powers."

"Those Urameshi siblings, Yusuke and Avigayil, are very intriguing. They lack the fighting experience, but could be dangerous weapons."

"The competition will be held in two months, so you'd better make sure you're ready. Oh and take care of the mess upstairs before you leave," Sakyou's screen turned off.

Toguro turned to the window.

"A street bum," Tarukane rattled on with laughter, "I'm a street bum!"

Toguro jumped in the air and kicked through the glass, kicking off Tarukane's head.

"Ugh. What are we going to do Koenma?! They're after the twins!" Botan stated firmly.

"Yes," Koenma worried, "And they will no doubt entice them to fight in this competition."

"But you know how these fights will be."

Koenma looked straight at the TV mulling over his decision.

Kayko and Yusuke were in a small boutique. Yusuke was leaning against the changing room.

"Are you done yet?" Yusuke whined, "The clerk thinks I'm stealing stuff."

"One second! I've found the perfect outfit!" Kayko replied back, tying a bow into the necktie, "Now we can go grab a bite to eat somewhere and then go on to the park!" Kayko put on her jacket.

"WHAT?! Do we really have to go there, too?"

"Uh-huh."

Yusuke looked around, muttering to himself, "This is the part when Yusuke makes his great escape," he began tip-toeing away.

Kayko opened the curtain with an annoyed look on her face, "You going somewhere?"

"Who? Me?"

"Surely you wouldn't have the nerve to run out on me two dates in a row, would you Yusuke?"

"No, of course not! Well, the park it is."

"Have a nice day, you two," the clerk said.

Yusuke opened the door for Kayko who carried that orange outfit in a bag. The two looked to their left and saw a big group of people.

"Look, this is the last warning. Please stand back!" a policeman yelled at the civilians.

A chunk of debris fell down.

"That looked dangerous," Kayko said.

"Yeah, better check it out," the boy ran into the crowd.

"Hey! Yusuke!" Kayko followed him.

Avi from down the block had the same idea in mind. She had just finished going over a dance with some of the dancers from Club Flow and was about to head home, when she saw the crowd forming. She was planning on ignoring it, but that second chunk fell and she took off into the horde.

"This area is now closed! Disperse immediately," a policeman ordered.

Yusuke and Avi were of course not listening, and moved to the front. They stood on opposite sides of the mob and caught each other's eye.

"That's weird," Yusuke muttered.

Avi read his lips and agreed. Kayko pushed her way through the crowd and gasped.

The building had two huge pieces of the building on top of the other with some space in between each hole.

"What causes that?" Kayko asked Yusuke.

A motorcycle drove right behind the crowd.

Yusuke backed out of the mass of people and Avi caught up to him. They froze when they sensed something was amiss. They turned around and faced the guy on the motorcycle, ready to fight.

"Who are you?" Avi demanded.

"Already forgotten? Guess I don't make much of an impression on people," the man removed his helmet revealing himself as Toguro.

Avi and Yusuke did a double take.

"No…fuckin'…way," Yusuke managed out.

"Is something the matter, Yusuke and Avigayil? You have the strangest look of surprise on your faces," Toguro smirked.

"I'm sorry, when we kill people we're used to them staying dead," Yusuke explained harshly.

Toguro threw a punch at them. A gust of air struck them leaving a rip in Yusuke's jacket at his torso and a rip in Avi's sleeve. The two looked down and had sweat on their brow, scared at the power of the punch they received. They looked at the smirking man.

"I suggest you both come with me for a talk," Toguro got off his bike, "After all, you wouldn't want something bad to happen to your precious girlfriend."

Kuwabara walked down the street and noticed the crowd, "What's goin' on?" He saw Kayko in the crowd, "Hey Kayko!" he greeted but then noticed the twins following Toguro.

The sun was setting and Toguro led the twins to a construction site.

"Surely you didn't think you had actually beaten me. Money decided that fight long before you entered the ring. But don't be angry. You two might have a chance to fight me on fair terms and not get so easily crushed."

"Why don't you get to the point, muscles? We've got better things to do with our time than waste it with you," Yusuke was agitated.

So was Avi to say the least. But it was the building-in-progress where they were standing she was just as agitated about.

Toguro chuckled, "You're afraid of me," he noticed their arms twitching in fear.

"What? Amused is more like it!" Avi retorted.

"There's no one here to impress, you two," Toguro unbuttoned his jacket and threw it away, "And I can see your entire bodies shaking. The ability to fear your enemies is one of your strengths. It forces you to reach your potential. But you haven't been scared enough. You both need some motivation and that's why I've come here to show you my true power!" Toguro began increasing his strength, "I only used 20 percent of my strength when I fought with you two and your friend. So why don't I now show you," Toguro punched one of the support beams to the building, "There. That's 60 percent."

Yusuke and Avi took a step back frightened. Toguro then began running around them kicking and punching all of the support beams for the floor they were on. All sorts of debris including the floor above began to crumble as well as the multiple floors above, caved in onto the floor the twins were standing on.

Later that night as the dust settled, Yusuke lifted a piece of concrete off him. Avi popped out soon after. They looked up and saw Toguro. The twins stood up.

"Understand this is the last time I will save your lives," Toguro blurred and appeared behind the twins, "Two months from now, a martial arts competition will be taking place."

"Oh, sounds like fun," Avi murmured.

"It's a dark tournament, organized by greedy human crime lords, and drawing on the vilest demons of the Spirit World. Each criminal gathers a team of five fighters, and the teams battle to the death. Humans enter for gambling and entertainment. Demons fight for blood, and the chance to win the prize. You two and Kuwabara are special guests to this competition. If you refuse, I will immediately kill you and everyone you know. If you want to survive these fights, I suggest you both get stronger," Toguro began walking away, "Oh yes, one more thing. In addition to you two being special guests, I've arranged it so the two of you will count as one person. So I suggest you start finding three more additions to your team," Toguro continued walking and jumped off the building.

Yusuke leaned on all fours. Avi crumbled to the ground and began having a mini panic attack.

'Stupid, Yusuke! You got so scared around him you couldn't even fuckin' move!' "You idiot!" Yusuke yelled at himself, "He's going to kick your stupid ass!"

Avi silently let the tears roll down her cheeks, 'Holy shit! I don't wanna die. Get my ass kicked, yes. But not die.' "Why do we have to be such dumbasses?" Avi whispered to herself.

Kuwabara saw what happened from a nearby bridge. He was frightened, "What's going on? We beat him!"

Toguro walked down an alley and looked up. He saw Kurama and Hiei looking down at him form the roof of a nearby building.

"I assume form you dismal faces that you've been invited tot eh competition as well. On Urameshi's teams, no doubt. Demons who side with humans will get no sympathy."

"Sympathy has never been a part of those fights," Kurama replied curtly to Toguro.

Toguro smirked, "As you know the teams are made up of five, and I have those siblings down as one fighter, so you'll have to recruit another fighter. For your sake I hope you find someone useful," Toguro took his leave.

"What is our chance?" Kurama asked Hiei.

"Don't ask," Hiei left.

"Hmph. It's about time you two came back," Genkai huffed. She was busy playing a video game, "Please tell me you've gotten a little better."

Yusuke donned in jeans, a white t-shirt, a red jacket with yellow cuffs and collar, stood next to his sister, who was wearing the same outfit except a blue jacket with green cuffs and collar. They were both holding a duffle bag.

Hiei was jumping around hitting a shirtless Kuwabara with a bamboo stick. Kuwabara had many cuts and bruises and fell to the ground. Hiei landed gracefully in front of the boy.

"At this rate you'll never survive," Hiei barked.

Genkai was jumping from ledge to ledge up a mountain with Yusuke and Avi following her. They were wearing weights around their ankles. Genkai jumped from a very tiny ledge. Avi managed to follow, but Yusuke slipped and was falling down the side of the mountain. He managed to grab onto another ledge with one hand.

"This time I won't go easy," the old lady took a sip of tea.

She barked at Avi to stand on her hands and do however many pushups until she came back. Genkai jumped down the ledge and stopped right in front of Yusuke, floating. The old hag began throwing punches at Yusuke's stomach.

"Do you realize the danger you'll be in?" Kurama asked Kuwabara.

"Yeah," Kuwabara replied ready to spar.

"Hiei cannot prepare you for the viciousness of the fights. Your weakness and his honor make him go easy on you. I will not."

"Okay, come on. Toughen me up!"

"As you wish. Here it goes!" Kurama jumped up in the air and came at Kuwabara.

"Damn it!" Yusuke grumbled. He tried to kick Genkai, but she disappeared. He rolled over and grabbed the ledge with his other hand and hoisted himself up. Genkai jumped back to the ledge where Avi was doing handstand pushups.

The twins grumbled at the old woman.

"Did you come all the way here just to give me more of your shit?!"

"It's different this time," the twins said in unison, "We promise we'll push as hard as we can."

Two months flew by in this means of training. It was late at night with a full moon high in the sky. Numerous bonfires were lit in the middle of the woods where many demons gathered to go to the deadly competition.

A big, bulky, Cyclops demon chuckled, "It's about time this tournament day arrived."

"Now we can kill without getting those pursuers after us!" cheered another demon.

"And imagine our power once we've gotten that prize!" dreamed a third demon.

"We're the ones who are going to get the power!" threatened a fourth demon, "Go home if you don't want to die."

"Obviously you haven't seen us fight yet," argued a fifth demon.

"I think I smell a human over there," pointed a sixth demon.

A seventh demon snorted, "Maybe he's come here to be our dinner."

Behind everyone, stood Kuwabara in his usual attire with a brown overnight bag. To his right, stood Kurama wearing a white school uniform trimmed in gold with a purple sash. And to Kuwabara's left, stood Hiei wearing black pants, a light blue long sleeve shirt and a deep purple tunic with a yellow sash.

"Urameshis still haven't shown up yet. What can those dumbasses be doing now?" Kuwabara whined.

"Hopefully, they're finding us a fifth fighter," Kurama answered.

"Why don't you worry about yourself, Kuwabara. Have you gotten any better since our last fight?" Hiei began picking a fight.

"You'll see for yourself, shrimp-boy." 'If we win this competition, I'm gonna get super famous. Yeah! That way Yukina and I can be together forever!'

"The ship is here, mateys," announced the peg-legged, eye-patched captain, "Now let's try to get on board without any violence."

"Uh, hey wait a minute, sir. Our team still has some stragglers!" Kuwabara notified the captain.

"Then we'll have to put a mark on their heads and send out a hit man. Standard rule of the tournament," replied the captain.

"Now, now! That's not necessary," Avi replied. She was wearing jeans and a blue jacket.

Next to her stood Yusuke with his hair in its natural state and wore jeans and a red jacket. Next to Yusuke stood a person wearing white pants and shirt with a red tunic and a purple sash around the shoulder. The person was also wearing a white veil, only showing his eyes.

"Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Someone decided to go a different way," the girl glared at Yusuke with her arms crossed.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack, Urameshis!" Kuwabara yelled at them.

"These forest hikes really wipe me out," Yusuke went over to lean against a tree.

"It wiped you out because we took a longer way," Avi continued to glare.

"Yeah, you look awful! Oh wait, that's just you," Kuwabara laughed. Avi joined him.

"Yusuke and Avi," Hiei sauntered over.

Hiei pulled out his sword and began swinging. The two dodged every single swing of the sword.

"What is this?" asked a demon only seeing a blur.

"I thought that they were on the same team," said another demon.

"Shit they're fast! I can barely keep up with my eyes," Kuwabara was amazed.

Yusuke grabbed Hiei's sword, "Damn Hiei, is this how you say hello to people now?"

Hiei looked up from his crouch, "Hn. I don't know where you've been all this time, but it seems you improved your skills a little bit," his ruby eyes flickered towards Avi.

"Improved a little bit!" Kuwabara's jaw dropped, "Oh shit! I'd say they improved a lot of bits!"

"Don't be discouraged. The fact that you could follow their moves shows that you have improved as well," Kurama encouraged.

"So you two," Hiei returned his sword to his scabbard, "I assume the little one over there is going to be the fifth member of our team."

"You mean this little guy here?" Kuwabara ran over, "He's even smaller than Hiei!"

"You forget that I'm smaller than Hiei," Avi reminded the tallest boy.

"Yeah, but, you're you and Hiei's a shrimp."

Avi looked at Hiei and her brother and shook her head.

"And what's wrong with his face? He looks like a mummy or somethin'." Kuwabara continued.

"Trust me," Yusuke reassured his friend, "That one's gonna be a lot of help to us."

"I don't know. He barely comes to my waist."

"I barely come up to your waist!" Avi defended the small fighter.

"Yeah but, you're you and he's him," Kuwabara answered.

"What the hell does that mean?"

"It means that I know you better and that you can kick ass even if you're short."

"Aww. Thank you Kuwabara."

Hiei growled. Avi looked at Hiei and raised an eye brow.

Hiei shook his head, "Forget him. Yusuke, Avi and I are all that we'll require."

"Enough of pesky distractions!" interrupted the captain, "Let's all get on board!"

All the demons (and humans) boarded the ship as they made their way to the island where the Dark Tournament will be held.

Soooo....whatdya think? I took out a minor part with Hiei and Avigayil. It wasn't anything major. Umm....as far as I know I have nothing else to say, except I will try my hardest to write out the fight scenes as best as I can.

R&R,

Love,

Avigayil Urameshi
