Jin, Hiei, and Yusuke all lost in the next round of the tournament, and joined the others in the infirmary tent.
"Alright, let's get you healed up." A beautiful, pink haired woman spoke to the group; especially eyeing Jin. The woman was Ruka, an enchantress whom pretended to be a nurse in the dark tournament. Apparently, after Hiei and Genkai broke out of her barrier that blocked them from joining the match against Team Masho, she decided to learn actual healing abilities. Now, as she explained after being threatened by Hiei at sword point, she was paid to actually run the infirmary for various fighting events for a hefty fee, paid for by the tournament runner.
"Psst, Jin." Kim whispered once the group was fully healed. "I think she has a little crush on you." She was very observant to the subtle hints of attraction. It came with her job in Agrabah.
"Aye, do you think so lassie? Perhaps I should show her a rippin' good time." Jin made his way over to Ruka and began to chat with her until her skin turned as red as a ripe tomato.
"Well, everyone ready to go?" Yusuke questioned, stretching after being healed.
"You don't want to stay and watch the tournament's end?" Darryl questioned.
"We all lost. What's the point." Chris sulked off towards the door with his hands in his pockets. The rest of the group followed suit, with the exception of Jin.
"Is he coming?" Wolfie questioned, which earned her a shrug from Thomas and Nick. It's possible that he heard her, and with his rather large ear size that wouldn't be too unbelievable, because right at that moment he peaked his head out the tent.
"Aye, I'm gonna be settling down here and enjoyin 'the company of this lovely lassie. It's been fun!" And with that, he darted back into the tent.
"Let's hurry back. I want to see….Yukina…" Kuwabara almost turned to mush when he said his crush's name. This earned a very sharp glare from Hiei, who was Yukina's brother. Granted, Kuwabara had no idea that Hiei was related to Yukina, but he was so oblivious when he was thinking about her that he probably didn't notice.
"So where will you all go?" Genkai's raspy voice always made the group wish she'd go back to her younger form, although they knew that it made her expend unnecessary spirit energy. "Not that I really care where you young shits go." She quickly added on, before folding her arms behind her back, and heading through the portal to human world. It was right around this point, that they noticed the fact that Hiei and Wolfie had snuck away.
"I feel a portal…" Perhaps it was Kim's connection to darkness, but for some reason she was able to sense dark portals. She felt it the last time as well.
"Well, that was perfect timing." Thomas muttered.
"Deus ex machina much?" Nick agreed with Thomas, which cause the group to stop and realize how right the two were.
"Well, I suppose we're going there." Darryl stated. "Well, we need Wolfie to come back first."
"Good and proper dogs should learn to heel by the human's side…" Chris muttered under his breath. Wolfie then popped up beside him and delivered a swift kick to the back of his leg.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm not a good dog. Unlike the mutts you must be used to, I'm not afraid to bare my fang." Wolfie summoned her fang keyblade and pointed it at Chris. In response, Chris summoned his Silver Seraph keyblade and pointed it directly at Wolfie.
"Maybe you just aren't properly trained." The tension in the air was almost thick enough to breathe in. The two then ran at each other and began clashing blades. Wolfie summoned her Wolf keyblade, and Chris summoned his Assailant keyblade, as the two continued their fierce exchange of blows. Thomas and Nick decided that the fight had gone on long enough, and moved in to intercept. Thomas summoned his Shattered Dreams keyblade and cast stop on Chris, while Nick summoned his Executioner keyblade and shot fire at the ground in front of Wolfie in an attempt to halt her movements. This failed however, as she simply hopped over the flames and continued her charge. Likewise, Thomas' magic wore off before they could be stopped, and continued to rush Wolfie. It was at this point that Kim and Darryl stepped in. Kim formed a shield of pure darkness in front of Chris; whom ran into it due to his inability to stop his own momentum. Darryl shot a wave of water directly into Wolfie's stomach and pushed her back.
"Tone down the aggression there kids, or I swear I will turn this car around and we will NOT go to mcdonalds!" Nick shouted at the two, before the six of them released their keyblade back to the domain which they reside in.
"…Right, well after that amazing display of teamwork…" Yusuke began, sarcastically of course. "…I'm heading out. If I'm not back in time to cook Keiko dinner, she'll kick my ass. And TV dinners take exactly eight minutes to cook." Yusuke bid the group farewell, and then followed Genkai into the portal.
"And my mother is expecting me home." Kurama shook everyone's hand, and walked off. He then stopped and called back to Kuwabara. "Coming?"
"Uh right. Later guys." Kuwabara bobbed off along with Kuwabara, and the two walked off into the portal to the human world. Hiei was the last to leave, partially due to the fact that he lived in Demon world, but mostly because he was still spending time with Wolfie. The two awkwardly bid each other farewell finally; with the two sneaking in a kiss when the others turned. With that, the keyblade wielders walked through the demon world forest, in the direction where Kim could feel the portal coming from. Kim lead the way, with Nick following close behind; muttering about how his lightning absorption technique needed to be perfected. Behind Nick was Thomas, whom was talking about his new technique that he learned from Kuwabara, and how with time he could use it to travel between worlds. Chris walked behind Thomas, due to the fact that Darryl forced him to walk away from Wolfie. He had preoccupied himself by muttering about how next time he would teach her a lesson. Darryl was halfway paying attention, due to the fact that he had been reading his book. This caused him to trip quite a few times, which only served to further piss Chris off. Wolfie lagged behind the entire group by several feet; her mind was focused on thoughts of Hiei. She had almost completely pushed Chris out of her mind, which to her was the equivalent of pushing him out of existence or off a very tall cliff. The five soon found themselves in an open field, where they were met by six other warriors. One of them was rather lanky, with light brown hair as wild and untamed as Thomas', with just a little more of a spiked pattern. Beside him stood a taller, and more serious looking man. He appeared several years older than him, and his blond hair was spiked in a slightly more maintained pattern. In front of him was an oversized sword stabbed into the ground. Sitting in front of the boy, was a crimson haired female, whom had been kicking her feet into the dirt. It was obvious that she was bored, but she had been the first one to notice the group walking towards them.
"Hey, there they are." She sprung up after she said this. Behind the back of the blonde hair warrior, another young man appeared. He looked close to the same age as the blonde hair man, which meant he was older than the other two. His hair was brown, and a large vertical scar ran across his face. A silver haired boy walked over next to the two younger ones, and stood ready. He was a bit taller than his peers, but fell short in height to the older two. Strangely, a blonde hair boy walked literally right out of the brown haired boy.
"I wish you'd stop doing that." The brown hair boy muttered to the blonde one, who responded by turning and grinning.
"Who are you people?" Wolfie asked, her ears pointing back.
The brown hair boy summoned a light blue and dark blue keyblade. Somehow, the group understood the keyblade to be named the Ultima keyblade. They didn't find it too odd, seeing as how they all knew eachother's keyblade names before they ever told each other. "I'm Sora." The boy said. The Blonde boy next to him summoned twin keyblades; one white and one black; Oathkeeper and Oblivion, respectively.
"And I'm Roxas." The silver hair boy grinned, before summoning his keyblade, Way to the Dawn.
"Riku." The girl next to him seemed rather eager to summon her floral attacked keyblade, named Destiny Place.
"And I'm Kairi!" She seemed rather bubbly and excited. The blonde hair man withdrew his sword from the ground and held it tight, while the brown hair man next to him withdrew a gunblade. The gang only recognized what it was due to the fact that Nick's keyblade was based off a gunblade, or rather it was considered a unique gunblade.
"Now, let's see how good you really are!" The six new warriors charged the group whom was following behind Kim, and locked each of their members in a battle. They then separated, drawing them into one on one battles. Sora prepared to face down Darryl next to a nearby lake. Thomas stared down Riku in the same area they met at, with lightning crashing down beside them. Chris was pushed into the forest by the blonde hair warrior, whom introduced himself as Cloud. Kim finally ended up in a cave with Kairi; prepared to fight. Nick ended up on a nearby mountain side staring down the barrel of the man, whom revealed himself as Squall's gunblade barrel. Finally, Wolfie stood in a grassy field while glaring at Roxas. And with that, the six prepared to fight their newly acquired rivals.
