Disclaimer: Never owned it, never will.

Okay, sorry for the REALLY slow update! I spent a long time writing this, and then spent a long time rewriting it. _

Anyway, I'll cut the crap and continue on with the story.

The message

Ditrina was worried.

She had three visitors in a day, and all of them told of the same problem. That energy disturbance.

The first one was her niece, Ramie. She had come over after school, and had told her that her dad had felt something weird.

"And to tell you the truth, I'm getting some weird vibes, too." She added. "Something weird's going on. And it's really close, too."

The next one was Jin. He had paid her a visit in the afternoon.

"Yep, there're some weird energy signs showin' up all over the place! I hear that it's in the Human world too, eh? Y'know, they almost feel alien! I mean, alien, alien! Not like Spirit energy or anythin' else. So, check up on it!"(1)

The last one, surprisingly, had been Hiei.

"Hn. Fox."

"That all I'm gonna get from you?"

"No. I'm here because the baby says he's too busy. He says something about strange energy signals showing up on the charts. Tells you to keep an eye out. Not like it has anything to do with me."

"Ooh. Someone's worried about Yukina, huh?"

"Shut up, fox!"

After a few insults, Hiei left, leaving Ditrina to her own thoughts.

She was puzzling over the whole thing, when she heard a knock on the giant door.

"Who is it?"

Silence.

"Hm."

Ditrina sighed and went to the door herself.

"Who is—"

There was no one there, only a small scroll.

Shrugging and picking it up, Ditrina began to read.

Greetings. As you are probably aware of, this year, there will be another Makai tournament. But this tournament shall be different. In this tournament, the Reishi lands will take part as well.

As you might have heard, the Reishi lands border Ningenkai and the Makai once ten thousand years. The last times this event occurred, there was a considerable amount of bloodshed because of hostility on both sides. We do not wish for that to happen again.

So, this year, we have decided to hold what can be considered as a friendship tournament. There will be separate fights and fights containing fighters of both worlds.

Any normal demon will be able to participate in this tournament at their free will. If you have received this invitation, it means you are one of the following REQUESTED CHARACTERS.

Yusuke Urameshi, son of Raizen. Youko Kurama, otherwise known as Kurama, former associate of Yomi. Hiei Jaganshi, currently known to be under Mukuro's command. Mishouri Kamira, otherwise known as Mayli, mate of Youko Kurama. Youko Ditrina, younger sister of Youko Kurama. Reiskai Urameshi, son of Yusuke Urameshi. Ramie Minamino, daughter of Youko Kurama and Mishouri Kamira/Mayli.

NOTICE: If you are one of the following stated, then it would be wise to enter the tournament. You are characters of great influence, and we believe that your presence would do more good. To everyone in Ningenkai, of course.

Signed, Silver Moon Princess of the Reishi lands

Ditrina dropped the note.

"WHAT?!? THEY WANT US IN ANOTHER FRIGGIN TOURNAMENT?!?"

"Yeah! I thought we weren't going to any more of these."

"Wow, they're threatening us."

"Very politely."

"Hn, even the fool can tell it's a threat."

"HEY!"

"Ahem!" Mishouri cleared her throat.

"Well, it's not like they're giving us a choice. But why are they trying to put our children in danger?"

"I don't know…but they want us to kick ass, we go and kick ass. It WAS our job, after all." Yusuke said with a grin.

"Oh…must you go, Kazuma?" Yukina looked at Kuwabara sadly.

"It's all right, my dear! With your loving husband, Kazuma Kuwabara, nothing will go amiss!"

"I'm going." Kayko said firmly.

"Okay. No point arguing, huh? The girls can all go, just keep yourselves out of trouble."

"And…I've got a question."

"Fire away, Kuwabara!"

"Well…why did they invite us but not invite Yomi or Mukuro? I mean, they're pretty important too, right?"

There was silence for a moment.

"Hm…I hadn't thought of that one."

"The Makai tournament starts in a week. We better go over to Demon World."

Everyone nodded and went home to start packing.

There was a long way to go.

"Okay, let's get going!" Yusuke announced as he jumped through a portal.

They landed in Makai, near the tournament grounds.

"Well, that hurt." Kuwabara said as he picked himself up from the ground and dusted himself.

"Whatever." Hiei scoffed. "Let's just keep on going."

And so off they went.

In the Reishi palace grounds…

"They accepted?" The moon silver princess sat back in her chair.

"Finally, revenge."

I'm bad at accents, okay?

Ooh. The letter was pretty hard to write. And the accent. So, this took a long time. I'm VERY SORRY!

And, I left you on a cliffy. Heh.

Yusuke: SPIRIT GUN! TAKE THAT!

XX: AH!!! KAYKO!

Kayko: Hm?

Yusuke:%$&#*(!$!*runs away*

XX: Remember to come, next time on my stupid story that I don't even own!_
