"Why would you run after them?" Hiei demanded. "Why, Yukina? Are you trying to get everyone at this tournament killed? If you were killed here, I wouldn't stop until everyone was dead!"

"I'm sorry, Hiei… but I had to make sure," Yukina said. "Please don't be mad…"

"Yukina, I'm furious," Hiei hissed.

"Okay," she said. "I deserve that…" Hiei forced himself to take a breath and calm down when he realized it was taking a lot for his sister not to cry.

"What were you making sure of?" Hiei asked.

"That time on the boat- I felt Touya's power," Yukina said. "It wasn't just my children's power- and you know apparition powers wouldn't manifest like that right away."

"So to find out whether the ice master was protecting you… you put your life in danger willingly?" Hiei grounded out. "What if you were wrong, Yukina?"

"Then you would have saved me," Yukina said with absolute certainty. Hiei sighed.

"And if I didn't get there in time?"

"Kurama was there,"

"Yukina…"

"Hiei, I was safe the whole time," Yukina said. "You're my brother. We're all we've had for the longest time and now I have a mate. I'm going to have a daughter and son and you'll have a niece and nephew… and a brother n' law once you get to know him," Hiei sighed.

"Well, there's one good thing about the ice master being your mate,"

"What's that?"

"My niece and nephew won't be weak," Yukina giggled.

"You would worry about that," she said. Hiei allowed a small smile to meet his sister's smile.

"Sleep now, Yukina… are you sure you want to watch the tournament?" Hiei asked.

"Of course," Yukina said.

"Hey, I've been thinking…" Kuwabara said.

"Yes, Kuwabara?" Kurama asked.

"You're fifteen, right?"

"You're about some three hundred or so years off," Kurama smiled.

"Well… do you have a mate?"

"No, Kuwabara, I don't,"

"Does that mean you've never…"

"Demons don't need to mate in order to have sex, Kuwabara,"

"Oh… so you have?"

"Goodnight, Kuwabara," there was a silence.

"So you haven't?"

"Kuwabara…"

"Oh, come on, Kurama!"

"Not me specifically," Kurama said. "Now just go to bed!"

"But what does that mean?"

"Just go to bed!"

"Morning, everyone! Are you ready for some unholy mayhem? Let's welcome our first teams of contesters! I declare the Dark Tournament officially underway!" the announcer shouted.

"Wow, check out that crowd!" Rinku grinned.

"It's the Jolly Devil Six, stars of the slums!"

"What do you think, Mr. Sakyo? They're just dregs of the red light district…but they have potential in the making, I believe," Sukezo Gondawara, the sponsor of the Jolly Devil Six asked. 'Their the real challenge to your team, Toguro. Team Urameshi will be dispatched in short.' Sakyo didn't reply to the man, instead looking as Urameshi's team arrived on the arena.

"The guests have arrived!"
