D-Claimer: ...
Chapter Warning: Not very long... No beta...No insperation...Need help...
The crowd was silent, waiting for the first team to come out, no one daring to speak a word. Finally four figures were seen making there way through the shadows cast over them towards the light. When the figures came into sight the crowd was disappointed. The four people wore brown cloaks that covered their full body and had no cuts or blood on them, meaning that there team was either very powerful not to get any blood on them after killing some of their teammates or the other members of the team gave them that spot.
The next group to come though the shadows was also a group of four, yet they were all covered in blood. Though they still had a better chance of winning the tournament, because every member there was a demon. To be more precise, there was a tiger demon, two leopard demons, and a lion demon. Their captain, a regular cat demon that was waiting for them, didn't look to happy about the condition that her team was in and started to yell at them when they were in front of her.
Following the second group was another group of four that all wore black cloaks with red clouds, that didn't cover their whole body like the first group, and hats made there way to their captain. When the human audience saw them there was an audio gasp throughout the coliseum. However, an even bigger gasp was heard when a human snake like man, with three others following him, made his way towards a lower level demon representing his team.
Finally the first group of five made their way in to the arena. Like many of the other teams, this team also wore cloaks that covered their body fully, yet unlike other teams all of them wore a different color. The first one to come out of the shadows wore a silver cloak and carried herself, or himself, like a noble. Following the silver cloaked person were a green and a brown cloaked demons or humans, but some of the demons felt sure that they were demons since they came out without a scratch on their being. Finally bring up the rear was the finally being in a black cloak caring an orange fox with red tipped ears and a red tips tail.
Just looking at the pristine team made some of the demons and humans nervous. It didn't help any that each of the fighters held an aura or power around them or when they made their way over to Lord Yusuke. Though the one thing that no body was afraid of was the fox in the last member's arms. Everything about the small creature just screamed a regular fox with no chakra, Spirit Energy, or special abilities. The creature was just a plain fox that could be found in a human forest.
The teams continued to come in to the arena, most of them had badly beaten up fighters and only four fighters come in, while only a few had five. Those fighters were usually the ones that figured out the meaning of the little test and didn't have any scrapes on their beings. When all sixteen teams were finally out in to the open, their captain was sent up to draw a number for which slot they were going to fill. Strangely the team representing Konoha picked slot number sixteen, which was very bad for them.
Slot sixteen was the slot that would be last for the preliminary round and right after that they would have to fight the winners form slot thirteen or fourteen, which ever won, with no breaks. Still there were two other bad things about that slot. One being there first appoint would be the Akatsuki and secondly, would be that in slot thirteen was Orochimaru. If he won then they would have to go up against him, if they won against the Akatsuki that is. Their team didn't look like it had a very good chance though.
"Okay, now before we begin there are some things that will need to be explained," said Juri standing in a now cleared arena, since all the teams were sent somewhere to wait for their turn. "Because we want to make sure we have enough time for all the fights today the first eight fights will only be one three on three match. If two, or all, of a team's fighters are thrown out of the ring and aren't back into the arena within ten seconds, are down for more than ten seconds, or killed, then the other team wins. Got that? Good!"
"Now our first fight is between Gaki's team and the Silver Knights' team. Please welcome the fighters," Koto yelled into her microphone, who was still by the judge's table. The crowd started screaming and yelling to cheer the fighters on. The first people to come out were the members of the Silver Knights' team, which many could tell why they called themselves the Silver Knights. Each member wore black slacks and a white shirt covered by armor. On each of the three's sides were swords and to top it off all of them wore capes.
All three of the Silver Knights were men and had no style at all. Their greasy brown hair was slicked back in a way that made them look nerdy and all three of them wore glasses so thick no one could see their eye color. To make them look even stupider, each man wore a bandana around their neck, but the horrible part about that was that the bandana was the most retches green color that there ever was.
"It seems that the Silver Knights have chosen their Ai Triplets, Rai, Tai, and Kai, as their fighters," Koto told the crowd. "Now let's see what Gaki's Team chooses to fight against the Ai Triplets." Though to everyone's surprise only one person came out to represent Gaki's Team. By the way the person move may thought it was a woman from under the brown cloak that she wore. The woman calmly walked into the ring with the Ai brothers and stopped in the middle of the ring.
"Well this is unexpected, it seems that Gaki's Team only sent out one fighter to represent them and we don't know who it is!" Juri exclaimed in the microphone, "is that even allowed?"
"It seems so Juri," Koto said after talking to one of the judges.
"Well if the judges said it was alright, how about we get this match underway," Juri asked the crowd. In turn the crowd gave off a very big roar to show that they were more than ready for the tournament to officially begin. With the audience's approval, Juri raised her hand in the air, signaling the teams to get ready. Letting her arm in the air fall, Juri yell, "Begin."
The three knights quickly drew their swords and charged at the cloaked maiden. As the three men came at her, the maiden didn't even show any signs that she was going to move out of the way. Not one what so ever, instead the maiden just reached up and took a hold of the hood of her cloak with delicate pale hands. Right when the three knights swung their swords did the maiden pull her hood all the way off.
Innocent looking green eyes stared at three swords that had stopped right in front of her face. The maiden looked innocently at the three knights with her green eyes and a small seductive smile formed on her ruby red lips. Cocking her head to the side in a cute fashion, the maiden's long brown hair fell to the side revealing a smooth creamy pale neck for the three knights to feast upon.
The maiden that a perfect pale complexion with no blemishes or scares. Her eyelashes framed her emerald green eyes as well as her delicate brown eyebrows. Perfect kissable ruby red lips only enhanced her beauty. She even had a small blush staining her cheeks making her look adorable. All in all, the maiden was an exquisite creature.
"Why do you want to hurt me?" a voice the sounded like silver bells to the three men asked them. Most all of the men in the coliseum looked at the maiden with hungry looks and lustful eyes. The three men fighter her didn't seem to have and answer and stuttered out incoherent sentences. Smiling the maiden kissed each one of the Silver Knights on the cheek. "How about you quit?"
One of the brothers, the strongest one Tai, stuttered out, as best he could, a reply that she could understand.
"W-we ca-can-not do-o th-that fa-fair ma-maiden," Tai said shakily.
"But it would make me happy," the maiden said in a hurtful voice. "Please?"
"N-no," Tai said yet again, but the maiden didn't seem to like the answer and her face changed form one of innocence to one of full hatred, but in a flash she was back to her innocent looking face.
"Then would you kill each other?" the maiden asked innocently.
"Why would we do that?" Tai asked gaining his courage and glaring at the maiden. He was going to continue on with his rant when two blades pierced his skin, killing him instantly. The two blades drew out of the dead body and pointed to the owner of the other blade. The tow remaining brothers then started to fight each other. The clashing of metal on metal was heard throughout the coliseum and the crowd cheered the two fighting brothers on to kill the other. Finally both left an opening in their defense and both took the time to take advantage of the opening, killing the other.
"What the hell? Why did they kill one another?" Kiba screamed, slamming his hands down on the table as he stood up to get a better look at the field.
"That's Tatsu Brumko, a half demon, half valkyrie. She uses her beauty to brainwash men, and some women, to make them do as she pleases," a voice spook from behind the Konoha group. The whole group turned around to see four older teenagers standing in the doorway. The one that spoke, the only male in the group, had a pacifier in his mouth and strange red and blue clothes.
"Who are you?" Neji asked instantly on guard, as the other shinobis.
"I'm Prince Koenma of the Spirit Realm. Me and my friends here came to watch our friends fight in the tournament, but arrived a little late," the male said.
"So why are you here?" asked Shikamaru lazily as he watched his friend eat his tenth plate of food from the table.
"Because silly, this room is for the friends and family of the members of the Three Realms Team," said a chirpy blue haired teen. "By the way I'm Botan and this is Keiko and Yukina," Botan said introducing the others to the Konoha shinobis.
"That means you know who's on the team," Asuma said, hitting at the identities of the fighters of the Three Realm Team.
"Yes we do Asuma-san, but we can't tell you. A promise made to one of the members," Koenma told Team 10's sensei. The group in the doorway, while the others were processing the information and wondering who the fighters were, came into the room and closed the door behind them.
"How do you know my name," the smoker asked as his cigarette fell out of his mouth when he realized that none of them told these people their names.
"As I told you, I'm the Prince of the Spirit Realm, meaning that I have to keep track of every human," the teenager told the group. "Oh and you really need to cut down on the smoking."
"Changing the subject," Shino said, speaking for the first time in a long time, "what is a valkyrie?"
"A valkyrie is from its own little clan of beings," Botan explained to them. Whipping a book out of no where, she started to read it out loud to the group. "They usually are around water areas, but some valkyries have gone to demon world. Valkyries have the ability to brainwash men and women with their beauty, but that isn't their only ability. They're said to be the good with Spirit Energy attacks and are skilled fighters."
As the people in the room continued to listen to Botan reading the informational booklet she carried, the tournament beyond the glass window continued on without any difficulty. So intently listening to Botan and then asking her more questions about the different demons and other beings they had seen they had missed most of the first rounds. They only noticed that they had missed most of the rounds when the announcement of the fight they had been waiting for was called.
