Chapter Three: The Tournament

By: Emily M. Alice

The month went by quickly. The tournament was being held on another island which meant to get there they needed to go on the boat. Kurami out right refused. The team watched in amusement/ somewhat irritated as Myou tried to pull the cat demon on board. "GET ON THE FUCKING BOAT, K!"

"NO, never me here! I don't want to do this anymore!" she cried out as her friend tried to pull her.

"Damnit, Bitch!" Myou scowled.

"I resent that! I am a /cat/ but you on the other hand…" Kurami smirked.

"THAT'S IT!" The wolf growled and attacked her to the ground. Yusuke was laughing but Hiei and Kurama didn't seem amused. The two demons shared a look before each grabbing a hold of the demonness they swung them over their shoulder before stepping on the boat. Yusuke watched as the two girls kept trying to kill each other behind their backs. He couldn't help but grin. Finally, this damn tournament might be slightly more entertaining thanks to the fact that these two girls made their team less of a stick in the mud.

The boat ride wasn't nearly as bad as the last (which they had to fight to stay on). They would arrive in an hour but the time didn't seem to go fast enough. The cat demon seemed to have been scratching like crazy along with Myou. Yusuke raised an eyebrow, "You two ladies okay?"

"Kill. Kuwabara." Growled Myou as she scratched her behind her ears. He turned to Kurami who was biting at her arm. Yusuke had a confused look but Hiei and Kurama were just laughing. He turned to them with a questionable look.

"It seems his dog had given the two fleas." Slowly, the half demon blinked before bursting into laughter. The girls gave the boys a death glare, which shut Hiei and Kurama up, but Yusuke wasn't afraid. He had been slapped enough times by Keiko to not be effected by the death glare. Though if looks could kill…

"Are we there yet?" Kurami whined once again. How Hiei and Myou could just sleep through was strange. Kurama and Yusuke were suck putting up with it through the whole boat ride. Thankfully, they arrived before Yusuke killed the cat. Kurami was the first off the boat along with Myou. The boys followed behind and started to the hotel.

Myou and Kurami felt weird as demons greeted their friends as 'Lords' and 'General'. Kurama still held the title of head General for Yomi, and Hiei was made Mukuro heir. Though there were still plenty of disgusted looks the group earned. Myou found it most weird since Kurama was an ex bandit, as she was.

The reached the fancy hotel where they had their own pent house which had three rooms, two with a doubles bed and another with a single bed. The group all looked at each other, Yusuke was the first to speak. "I GOT THE SINGLE!" He yelled and ran to the room.

"No matter how much I care for our friendship I refuse to room with you, Kurama." Hiei huffed.

"It's simple, Hiei and I will share and Kurama and Myou can share." Kurami said wrapping her arm around Hiei's arm. Kurama nodded slightly but the wolf bit her bottom lip nervously. She remembered how she felt after that simple kiss; she wouldn't trust herself with him in the same bed.

"Do not be nervous, it's not like we hadn't shared a bed together before." Kurama told her softly, putting a hand on her shoulder. She gave him a small smile before going to their room where she started to unpack. It was going to be a long night. The next day the people who were going to watch would arrive which included Botan, Keiko, Genkai, Kuwabara, his sister, Yukina, and Baby Breath.

Yusuke was the first to hit the hay, followed by Hiei and Kurami (but Myou knew they weren't going to sleep). The wolf stood and made her way into the bedroom. Kurama was in the shower so she didn't bother to lock the door as she tossed her clothes off. She stood in red lace bra and matching panties when she heard the door open. Thinking it was Kurama she turned not caring that he saw her, but it wasn't Kurama. She screamed.

Hiei was relaxing in bed, the cat cuddled close, fast asleep. He felt uneasy; a new demonic energy was close and made him uneasy. Then he heard Myou's screams. Kurami was up and quick on her feet and the two ran with Kurama catching up (who was just in a white towel). Myou stood where she clutched a sheet around her body.

"WHAT THE HELL?" She screamed the new energy was coming from a young looking wolf demon. He was maybe around his young teen years with sliver hair and blue eyes. He shifted his feet, "sorry…" He was muttering.

"What are you doing here?" Kurami hissed.

"OH, um, I sniffed, catching the sent of an unmated wolf demonness and-um, mating session is comin' up…." He trailed off. Myou sighed.

"It's fine." She said, shocking Kurama, Hiei, but not Kurami who already was back in bed. "Happens all the time, kid, but I think I might be a little old for you." She smirked.

He shrugged, "My name is Suou Kaoru, I'm an ice wolf demon!" Kaoru said cheerfuly. Myou chuckled,

"Pleasure to meet you, why don't you wait in the livingroom. I'd like to talk to you, kiddo." She smiled, Kurama couldn't help but smile, she was always good with younger people then he was. The ice wolf nodded and ran out. Hiei went to his own room as Kurama watched her dress. She pulled on a large T shirt that went midthight before walking out, Kurama following behind.

"So, Kaoru, what are you doing on the island?" She asked.

"Oh, I'm here to see my brother fight. He is on the team you'll be going up against tomorrow." He told her. "I hope they don't beat you to bad. You seem really nice. So does your boyfriend." He wiggled his eyebrow and jerked his thumb toward Kurama. "You two virgins or somethin' that you aint gonna do it or something? Cause I'd be careful. Myou, your smoking and anyone would kill ya to mate with you." Kaoru said playfully with a grin.

"Err, no, neither of us are virgins. I'll try not to single handedly destory your brothers team." She smirked

"Well, I'll should go. Sorry, my, but this wouldn't have worked out anyways." He added before leaving. Myou laughed before heading to the bedroom.

"Sucha cutie he was." Kurama dressed in just a pair of boxers before dropping in the bed with a heavy sigh. Myou slipped under the covers and curled on her side. He made a face before pulling her against him, wrapping his arm around her waist before falling asleep.

Hiei returned to bed where his kitten sat. Her golden cat eyes filled with mischevies ideas he could tell. The fire deamon laughed before moving into bed, "What did you do?"

"Noooothing." She simply said before nibbling on his bottom lip. "Just being a cat in heat." A large smirk grew on his lips. Meanwhile in the room next to Hiei and Kurami, Yusuke slept soundly with ear buds in thanks to wise advise by Genkai.
