AN: In the last chapter, David was murdered by Izan before the finals in the Dark Tournament. Now Yusuke and Michael must go and tell their teammates what has transpired.

Michael and Yusuke were standing outside the room where everyone was waiting for them to come back. Of course, only Michael and Yusuke knew that David was dead. The test was telling them what had happened, and take their responses. This isn't going to be easy, to say the very least.

"How are we going to do this?" Yusuke said as they were sitting in the hallway.

"All we can do is to tell them." Michael said. "They are not going to take this easily. Especially Alex. She really loved him."

"Yeah." Yusuke said. "Let do this." Yusuke slowly opened the door, and both of them walked in the room. Every eye was on them as they entered. Alex ran up to them, but noticed that David wasn't with them.

"Where is David?" Alex said calmly. Yusuke pointed a finger at Michael as to say that he knew that the explanation. Everyone had their eyes on Michael as he slowly explained to them what has happened.

"David is dead." Michael said slowly. Justin and Max eyes went wide, and they ran to their sister's side. Hiei and Kurama looked away. Louis and Villo looked at each other in disbelief.

"Who killed him?" Alex managed to choke out.

"Izan." Michael said. "He also was the one who killed his parents when he was younger."

"So, can't they do something? I mean, he can't get away with killing him, can he?" Alex said frantically.

"That is just it." Michael said, standing up. "He will get away with killing him, because in this tournament, this is not only allowed, but encouraged. This happened the last time we were here."

"Toguro killed Genkai." Yusuke said.

"So that's it, huh?" Louis said, anger evident in his voice. "We just act like nothing has happened, and Izan gets away with murder."

"I promise you guys." Michael said. "Izan and his crew will not leave this island alive."

Alex sat in her room that night, crying. She was torn apart, and who could really blame her? The guy she loved was murdered and she didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. The guy that she loved was gone, and she couldn't do anything about it. Alex soon cried herself to sleep.

Michael sat up in his bed, still thinking about how he and Yusuke found David. This wasn't the first time someone died right in front of him. He realized that there was no use in crying over something that he couldn't change. Team Urameshi had to focus on the finals and Team Izan. In a daze, Michael walked out onto his balcony. He stared out into the peaceful night, hoping to find some peace.

"Couldn't sleep, huh?" Miley said.

"No." Michael said sadly. "This fighting in the tournament has taken a real toll on me."

"I'll bet." Miley said. "Alex seems really torn up about David."

"I can relate. Losing a loved one is never easy." Michael said.

"What's going to happen now?" Miley asked Michael.

"We fight Team Izan, and avenge David's death." Michael said sternly.

"I know that you have to do this, but please be careful." Miley said. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, and walked back inside. Michael stayed outside, with his thoughts about the upcoming fights. Michael knew that these finals were going to be very interesting. Because only Michael and Yusuke knew of the Ace they had for Team Izan.

I hope this works, Michael thought.

AN: Well, it seems that there is a plan for Team Izan in the finals of the Dark Tournament. But what does this mean for Team Urameshi?
