WARNING: There is a WHOLE lot of OOC! AND these are well written semi- episodes, not a full-length story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho (though I wish I did- then I'd have Hiei all to myself... and Tiffany could have Kurama.* both fight off all the other rabid fan girls*). I only own the character Vixiana. The others: Aeraqua and Tigreyah belong to my friends Shannon and Tiffany, respectively

Torina (a.k.a. Vixiana): This is my first Fan Fic so please don't be too harsh!

Tiffany (a.k.a. Tigreyah): Now, why would they do that since I'm the one who made it up?

Shannon (a.k.a. Aeraqua): And don't forget me! I'm in it!

Torina: Fine then! This is my Fan Fic- and that's all I have to say. *Turns to Tiffany and Shannon* Happy?

Tiffany and Shannon: Yes!

Vixiana: First story's all mine! Let's go! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Our First Appearance

Right before the next rounds of the Dark Tournament (Dark Tournament: episodes 27-60, where we are: episodes 35-45), it was time for a little half time entertainment. The presentation of the eight final teams was first. The last team to be announced, of course, was Team Urameshi. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei and the Masked Fighter all came out looking bored (you couldn't really tell with the Masked Fighter). They all stood in front of the ring waiting for what was next. My friends, Tigreyah and Aeraqua, and I looked from the dancers' entrance- specifically at the beautiful, red-haired, deep green-eyed demon known as Kurama. It was destiny that we weren't able to get into the tournament. I'm not sure if any of us would be able to bring ourselves to fight Kurama. But, then again, we would want to win.

Aeraqua was the first to snap back to her senses.

"You got the plan Vixi? Vixi?" She shook me with no response. Kurama was all that was on my mind. There was no room for any plan. Then Aeraqua used more drastic measures. She lifted one of my fox ears and shouted "VIXIANA!" into it. I was so startled that I stumbled back into Tigreyah. When I started to fall I tried to grab something to stop from falling onto the tiger girl. Unfortunately, the only things that were there was Aeraqua and the smooth wall. I grabbed Aeraqua's arm and we all fell onto the stone ground.

"Now I'm all ears, Airy-" This was my nickname for Aeraqua (even though I'm the one with the airy nature), "well, once they stop ringing." I moved my short red-brown hair away from my face, fixed my glasses and wiggled my finger around in my ear to stop it from ringing. That didn't help. It was a miracle that I could still hear after that- foxes have sensitive ears.

"Do you know the plan, Vixi?" When she was angry, the sharp fin-blades she had along her arms and a closed fist made her look foreboding. But since I've known her since I was 9, that didn't faze me.

"Yes! Now will you stop asking me?" I said while dusting myself off with my tail.

"I only asked you once!" She turned to Tigreyah, "Ti- "

"Before you ask," the cat girl cut her off waving a well manicured hand, "yes, I know it."

We helped each other up and dusted off. The dancer's costumes weren't helping much, but my beautiful foxtail got the job done.

Then Koto, the fox girl announcer -and my flirtatious cousin-, gave the announcement, "And here come the dancers!" We all gathered into the formation and streamed onto the newly fixed ring.

Most of the dancing team was demonic girls, so Tigreyah, Aeraqua and I were the cutest out there by my standards. We're animal spirits. We each had two temporary forms, one of which looks fully human. Today we had on the other temporary form, the one form that we take the most. In this form, we would look human if it weren't for the fact that we all had something to show that we were part animal. I have a red fox tail and ears and dark red brown hair. Tigreyah has her tiger ears, tail, dark orange red brown hair and nails that were slightly longer than a usual human's. Aeraqua has pale skin, silver blue hair, sharp blade fins on her arms and legs, and eyes that were slightly large.

There were 20 dancers in all, most of them wanna-be flirts, flaunting their stuff for the fighters, hoping to get a date-or at least a wink- from one. But my friends and I were there for a different reason. We're fighters (well they are; I just hang around them and learn.) too, but we couldn't find another two fighters to complete our team for one specific reason. Sometimes the fact that we look like 15-year-old half humans gave more to that reason. We absolutely had to find another way in, but the only ways were to be dancers or pay for a ticket. So, it was either pay or get paid with privileges - tough choice, wasn't it?

Our dance ended and all the dancers flowed off the ring- all, that is, except Tigreyah, Aeraqua and I. It was time to get to work with our little plan. I ran over to Koto and hugged her, catching her by surprise, "Koto! Long time no see, eh cuz?" She hugged back lightly, still surprised, so she didn't notice when I slipped the microphone out of her hand with my tail. I started a light conversation while I tossed the mike with my tail (my tail is a very convenient thing) over to Aeraqua, who passed it to Tigreyah. Then I ended the conversation: "Bye and thanks for the mike," and joined my friends. Koto looked at me perplexed then looked at her hands. Discovering them empty, she shot a glare at me. I grinned in return. Mother didn't call me Sly-Fox for nothing.

"You all may be wondering," Tigreyah started sweetly, "why we're still here. Well, me and my friends here," Aeraqua and I waved from behind her, "may be dancers, but we are also fighters. We would have entered this tournament if other fighters weren't so keen on thinking that young, beautiful women fighters can't do as well as men. Since we weren't able to enter the tournament, we would like to give our grant of good luck," Tigreyah paused to add in a little suspense, "To Team Urameshi!"

The crowd started booing at the team as we thought they would, but they didn't boo as much as usual since they were surprised. The coolest and best dancers, giving there support to one of the weakest teams?

"QUIET," shouted Tigreyah, making it sound almost like a roar. The crowd became still immediately. Being a Tiger Spirit sure had its perks. The microphone was then passed to Aeraqua, "You all may think that they are the most pathetic team you've seen, the under dogs of this tournament, but we know that they will win, no matter the obstacle." There were many shouts issuing from the crowd, most of them consisting of "Team Toguru." and "Those humans."

Then the microphone was passed to me. I only had one half-line to say, but I liked it that way. Using my power of sound manipulation by air to make my voice carry far and loud, I shouted over the crowd, "So were offering our full support to-"

"TEAM URAMESHI!!" We all shouted into the microphone.

The members of Team Urameshi looked at us in a weird -but over all thankful- way. They all smiled (again, you couldn't tell with the Masked Fighter), but none so more that Kuwabara. As we waved goodbye and sat on the ring's edge to jump down, I specifically heard him say, "They said all that because of my good looks." Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, and the Masked Fighter all just looked at him blankly. I slapped myself on the forehead and Tigreyah, Aeraqua and I walked out off the ring.

As I was walking out of the arena, though, I turned back to give one final bow. As I came up, noticed red hair and a pair of bright blue eyes looking at me among the browns, greens and blacks. I blinked and looked again, but the blue flash disappeared. I shrugged, turned and ran to my friends who had left me behind. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Vixiana (a.k.a. Torina): Not bad for a first, eh?

Tigreyah (a.k.a. Tiffany): Nothing of mine is bad! So if this is bad, it's your fault Vixi!

Vixiana: *glaring* Who said it was bad?

Tigreyah: Er.

Vixiana: Ha! That's what I thought! *Turns around and almost trips on Masaru (Rainbow kitten with wings- Tigreyah's Spirit Beast. Later to be introduced). To stop from falling on him she steps back and trips over her foot and falls backwards*

Tigreyah: *laughs*

Vixiana: *glares at Tigreyah* Tigger! You told him to go there!

Tigreyah: No I didn't! *seeing where this is going and starts to run. Sticks her tongue out* Nah-na-nah-na-nah-na! Can't catch me Foxy Loxy! (Annoying nickname for Vixiana. Yes, it's from the Nursery rhyme.)

Vixiana: *chases her* I'll rip that thing right out your mouth!!!

Aeraqua (a.k.a. Shannon): *anime teardrop* Well, that's going well. People please review!
