A/N: I realize this chapter is a bit overdue, but my life demands much of my time, and it's a bit difficult to be able to just sit down and write to my heart's content. With that said, I will do my best to not take a month to update each chapter. Thanks to those who reviewed and added the story to their alerts.

"Holy crap, Lea," the blonde said, "we're in the Dark Tournament. In Yu Yu. It's like my wildest dream has become reality."

"Regardless, I think we need to get out of here before someone sees us and-" Lea was cut off by a slightly high-pitched voice coming over the loud speaker.

"Um, excuse me? There's no teleporting allowed on the field." Both girls froze as all eyes in the stadium turned to stare at them. Koto stood at the center of the ring, hip popped out, a confused and curious look set upon her face. On either side of her were two teams who were too busy glaring at each other to notice the girls.

"Kylie, come on, let's go!" The two proceeded to move towards the only exit in sight hurriedly.

"Hey, those two are humans!" With that single cry left hanging in the air, the demons in the stands errupted in noise, no one phrase distinguishable from another. Jumping over the walls, several security officers came running to get them. Lea noticed this and started running, Kylie following suit. They made it through the exit and into the hallway, but were met by the sight of more security standing at the end of it. Slowing down and sighing, the girls walked calmly towards the demons. They were then roughly led to a large room, several human men sitting behind a long table to greet them.

"What are we going to do with them?" one man said.

"Letting us go would be nice..." said Lea. The man glared and hissed at her to be quiet. "It was just a suggestion, jeez."

"We could always just kill them." another man said.

"Let's not be hasty." The man who said that was not seated at the table, but in a chair in the dark corner. When he stood and walked over, it was easy to see that he was far younger than the others. The girls instantly recognized him by his long black hair and business suit.

"Sakyo, what are your thoughts?"

"Until we find out just who these girls are and why they are here, I suggest that we have them assigned to different teams to keep an eye on them when they're not competing. Of course, we'd have to select teams who could control themselves and not kill them."

His statement was left hanging in the air as the other present committee members thought it over.

"We could put one of them to Urameshi's team. The distraction might get them killed." the elder man, said, sneering all the while. The hope of being placed with their favorite team made the girls smile.

"And how about that team of shinobi? Masho, I believe it was. Butajiri could do with an annoyance."

"I agree with both."

"As do I."

"Me, as well."

"Then the girls will go to those teams. Now, what are your names?" He turned and directed the question towards them.

"Lea."

"Kylie."

"Lea will go to Team Urameshi-" Sakyo began, but was cut off. Kylie glared half-heartedly at her best friend, who was busy beaming.

"Bitch." Lea merely chuckled at the remark.

"-and Kylie will go to Team Masho. I'll send someone to inform the teams," he snapped his fingers towards a demon as he said this, "while I ask the girls a little bit more about themselves... in my office."

As the black-haired man moved towards the door, the girls found themselves harshly shoved in the same direction. Though they were about ten feet behind him, Lea and Kylie could overhear what he was telling the would-be messenger. He was to only inform the team captain that something awaited him in Sakyo's office. If so desired, they were permitted to bring a single teammate with them. Although they were unaware of it, the teenagers were thinking the same thing.

Captains? That means Yusuke and-

-Jin. He'll most likely bring Touya-

-and Yusuke will probably bring Kuwabara.

Ew.

After leaving them with the information, the demon scurried off and out of the room, heading towards his next destination. The team of five shinobi sat there, and puzzled about this news.

"I don' care ta walk inta a trap." Jin said in his thick, Irish accent. "Touya, you'll be goin' with me." The Ice Master nodded and rose from his seat, moving to retrieve his black cloak. Jin did the same and told the rest of the team to stay in the room until they got back. The two shinobi departed the room, moving quickly to the building that housed most of the main offices of the Dark Tournament.

The demon snickered to himself as he left the suite of Team Urameshi.

"Trap?" the captain voiced.

"Most than likely." the redhead replied.

Yusuke sighed and placed his hands behind his head. "Then I guess we won't go."

"You should." the Masked Fighter said, his sudden and unexpected voice causing Kuwabara to jump.

"Oh, really? And why's that?" said Hiei, joining the conversation.

"Because if it's Sakyo telling you to come, it probably is something important. He wouldn't take away from the fights and bets if he didn't have to."

"And who do you propose should go?" Kurama asked. The Masked Fighter remained silent, however, and promptly left the room.

"Stupid jerk. If he's gonna tell us to go, he should at least have the courage to go with us!" Kuwabara near-shouted in the direction of their unknown comrade. Rolling his eyes, Yusuke stood and headed for the door.

"There isn't an 'us,' Kuwabara. It's just gonna be me."

"Yusuke, I don't think that's a very wise decision. If it does turn out to be a trap, you'd be alone. I'll go with you. There is strength in numbers." Kurama suggested.

"Alright." he shrugged. The redhead walked behind his friend, shutting the door with a soft 'click.'

"You're asking us to care of a human, when we should be focusing on the Tournament?" questioned Touya.

"The committee has full confidence in your abilities. If not, you wouldn't have been selected for this task." Sakyo replied. "Now, if there are no more questions, I'll have the girl sent in." When the two shinobi before him were silent, he pressed a button and requested that Kylie be sent in.

The teenagers were sitting on a couch in a seperate waiting room, having already finished Sakyo's questioning process. Lea had asked for some paper to doodle on. The symbols she drew made no sense to their demon guards, but Kylie understood them perfectly.

Long ago, the two had created an alphabet of symbols to write notes to each other. No one else knew what each one meant, and it was going to remain that way.

When Lea was finished writing out her message, she handed the paper over the Kylie, claiming to be bored of doodling. The blonde took it and looked it over, making a few pencil marks to distract from her reading.

We'll meet at the river that runs through
the middle of the island. There's a point where it
splits off into two directions. Meet me there at one.

Kylie inconspicuously nodded, putting the pencil to the paper the write out a note of her own when her name was called by a demon who had just entered the room. She shoved the paper quickly into her pocket and handed the pencil to Lea.

"Be safe." she whispered before getting up and heading for the door. The butterflies in her stomach didn't cease as she thought of Jin and Touya and what would soon be their first encounter.

A/N: Well, that's the first chapter. All you Team Masho lovers have nothing to worry about. The next chapter will feature more of our favorite shinobi. Please leave a review!
