Summary: The Dark Tournaments with a twist. Koenma has already picked their fifth teammate. A seemingly normal young man, about their age, with a mysterious past. Plus he is really a she, but they don't need to know that.

Vote for pairing:

*Kagome and Yusuke*

*Kagome and Hiei*

ENJOY!

Botan had been assigned to inform her 'spirit detective' charge of the addition Koenma had made to the detective's team. Even though Koenma was the holder of the team, Yusuke had already taken the leader's position in the group turned team; even if it hadn't been voiced. The others just fell effortlessly behind him into their own supportive roles. Either way an added member, even if the fifth person was completely necessary, could very well mess with the group's dynamics and she just knew Yusuke, and the others for that matter, wouldn't take to kindly to a stranger so easily when their very lives were on the line.

She sighed helplessly.

Why did she have to be the one to tell him? He had the worse temper when training, and this would only served to make it worse.

Looking towards the ground she spotted the same person she had been sent to find. Flying down she took note of the exhausted detective sprawled out upon the ground, his arms and legs spread out as he breathed deeply. Standing over him loomed the small stature of Genkai who spoke while lighting a cigarette.

"If it isn't the two I was looking for," Botan greeted in her usual cheerful manner.

Genkai gave her a sideways glance. "Hello Botan, what brings you here?" the woman had always been the straightforward type.

"It's about the tournament-"

"What now?" Yusuke groaned while sending her a hard look, she knew the look wasn't necessarily for her but Koenma. Yusuke very much did not enjoy being bossed around my someone he saw as a toddler.

"Koenma has picked the fifth member of your team-"

"Who'd he pick? Is he even any good?" Yusuke interrupted.

Botan's sweat dropped, this would be the hard part. She had been sworn to secrecy, under no circumstance was she to give out this person's identity. "Yes, he's very good. In fact sh-" Botan caught herself, why did she have be such a bad liar? "He is also a detective," -more or less anyway- she added in her head.

"Alright but who? Doesn't this guy got a name?" Yusuke asked. "And how do we know he's even all that good? I'm sure Genkai would be the best person to put on the team," he muttered.

"I'm sorry but I can't give you his name-"

"What do you mean you can't give us a name? You're telling me to trust a stranger whose name I don't even know? That's bullshit"

Botan's brows furrowed. "That may be Yusuke but I know him as does Koenma, I'm sure when you meet him on the ship you'll get along quite nicely,"

"We have to wait till then? That's-" Genkai shut him up by hitting him in the back of the head.

"Shut up dimwit and get back to work, I think you've wasted enough time for today." she ordered while taking a drag off her cigarette before turning her eyes to Botan. "Thank you for the information Botan but as you can see we have a ways to go till he's ready,"

"Oh alright,"

"And don't worry I'll make sure he gets to the ship on time,"

"Thank you," she looked to Yusuke. "and good luck training!" And like that she was flying back to spirit world.

~o.O~O.o~ Two Months Later ~o.O~O.o~

Bored sapphire eyes looked out at the raging water of the ocean, it's dark waves licking at the sides of the large cargo boat. The storm had been brewing for several days now, yet there were no signs of it starting any time soon, maybe within the next few days. As long as it didn't happen when aboard that monstrosity of a boat there would be no need to worry.

"Why'd it have to be a boat? Why not a plane? Damn~"Thin fingers ran through dark bangs with a heavy sigh passing their lips. If this were a smaller boat there would be some concern but the water couldn't even rock the boat let alone capsize it. But that didn't settle their fear of being on the open ocean.

A firm hand grips their shoulder. "Kags' it's alright, you can always back out and take an orb. You'll just meet them on the island," those once bored sapphire eyes turned to a pair of honey colored orbs. Those eyes belonged to the one and only, once legendary inu hanyou, InuYasha. He sported short silver hair in a somewhat shaggy manner reaching the tops of his shoulders and his puppy-dog ears in an alert position atop his head. On his form he wore a red and black plaid button up shirt, the top two buttons undone, and dark blue straight-legged jeans. No matter the time period the hanyou would always find a way to incorporate red into his outfit.

"What did I say about calling me Kags' InuYasha?" she growled out. "It sounds like you're calling me a hag," she finished mumbling the last part to herself.

"Not to," He rolled his eyes. "I'll try to remember that for next time Kagome," he stressed her actual name while looking out at the ocean as she had only moments ago. "So are you really okay with taking a boat to the island?"

Her eyes closed in defeat. "No of course not, but this is how I'm going to meet the rest of the team," She crossed her arms tapping her finger against her arm.

"Why'd you agree to this again?" he whined.

"Onigumo or Naraku, however you want to look at it, he's been reborn as this Sakyo fellow. Anyways seems he has his eyes on obtaining the jewel again," she sighed angrily. "Even after being reborn he still wishes to obtain its power and plans on using his team to get it. Though impossible seeing as it no longer exists but I made a deal with Koenma that when Sakyo finally dies he will no longer be reincarnated and remain in hell,"

He huffed in annoyance. "Stupid man even after being reborn he wastes his life on obtaining false power,"

"But at least this way he'll be out of our hair for good, and all I have to do is make sure his team loses,"

"Alright that makes sense, but why are you pretending to be a guy?" he asked having taken notice of the heavy musk that overlayed her natural scent of sweet rain and raspberries. Looking at her she in deed looked the part of a slender man, but then again it wouldn't be her first time posing as the opposite gender. Having done so before she knew to wear clothing that wouldn't give away the natural curve of her body. Aside from the black hoodie she wore a layer top, the first being navy in color covered by a pale t-shirt, dark grey straight-legged pants and black shoes. Even when portraying a male Kagome would never cut her hair but it surprised him how the thick long braid reminded him of their old enemy Bankotsu, if he hadn't known better he would have guessed they had a shared ancestry.

"These guys have an honor code, or at least some of them do, and they wouldn't dare take a female fighter seriously. Then again would you allow a girl, one you've never met, to fight in a battle to the death?" She asked lazily while picking up the forest colored bag at her feet.

He cringed at the thought, that's exactly what she was doing; battling for her life against some nasty low-level demon looking to make a name for himself. "No but then again I don't like the thought of seeing you fight, why don't you let me fight in your place Kagome," he pushed as he had been doing since she told him of being apart of the tournament two months ago.

She shook her head. "When I took that job as a detective I agreed to being an agent of Lord Enma and in turn Prince Koenma,"

"I still don't see why you did that,"

She shrugged walking towards the large cargo ship below having turned her back to him. "I became bored, just like I am now, I don't know how you demon's can stand living such long lives," She sighed waving at her old companion. "I hope to see you and the others cheering me on at the tournament,"

"You better not die Kagome!"

"Don't worry...I can't,"

Literally.

wolfYLady: There is the beginnings to a new story I have been sitting on for the last couple of days. Do not worry I have not forgotten of the other stories that I have to work on, I am writing several chapters at the moment and it takes me a long time- depending on how long I wrote it- to go back and edit it. Because editing for be in going over it like five times than posting and then another two times to make sure I got everything not all that effectivebut oh well.

So this is to be a vote for the pairing story I personally am leaning towards a Hiei and Kagome but I leave it up to you all to decide. And I do hope I can get chapters up quickly once the pairing is decided.
