A Game to the Death

Disclaimer- I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho and am only borrowing the boys for a short while. I am in no way getting pay for this story, unless you count the fun I had writing it.

Author's Notes- In the show there was three world: the Spirit World, the Demon World, and the Living or Human World. One day I started thinking about the other beings, the fantasy being that really aren't any of the top three: elves, faerie, dwarves, etc. So in this story there is a fourth world and that is where this story take place. Also this story was written as a challenge by a friend, to write a story to a picture they found, which is why the boys are in different outfit. So I hope you enjoy reading and please review. )

Chapter I

Kuwabara was just putting on his sandals when Shizuru came walking into his room. "And just where do you think you're going?" Shizuru look down at the bag he had sitting by the door, "I hope that it's to the library and that there books in that bag?"

Kuwabara looked at his sister with a smile she knew all too well. "No, me and the guys are going to the beach. We figured that we've been through a lot of fights and that we needed a day off." He stood, grabbed the bag and started for the door; he promised to meet Urameshi and Keiko at the train station at 12 and it was already 11.

Shizuru's hand shot out grabbing him by the back of his shirt. "And just when baby bro were you going to tell me?" She asked, "Last I knew you were going to stay home and hit the books instead of other people's faces. Am I the only one who wants you in a good high school?"

"Come on sis, I've been studying for the past four days and today is Saturday," he started pulling on the shirt trying to get free. It was the only one he had for the beach that was clean, "Please, I promise I'll finish all of my homework when I get back."

He waited for an answer or for her to let go of him, "Is Kurama going to be there?" She finally asked.

"Yeah, he and Hiei are suppose to meet us there," he give her a confused look but that soon became a look of mischief. "Why, do you like him? I'm sure the others wouldn't…"

"Please," she let go of him throwing him off balance making him fall into the wall. "He's a nice guy but the whole half demon thing really isn't my type. I just wanted to know if someone would be there to keep you in line, besides I think there's something going on between him and Botan." Shizuru laughed at the look on her brother's face, "Go on you'll be late for the train and promise me you'll stay out of trouble!" She yelled after him as he went running down the stairs.

When Kuwabara got out the front door he stopped and looked back into the house, "How did she know we were taking the train?" Looking down at his watch, Kuwabara saw that it was 11:25, "Oh chap, I gotta get going!" He closed the door behind him, and took off down the street.
