Chapter Twenty Five

"This tournament's a waste of time."

Danielle didn't look at August, keeping her red-violet eyes focused on the group below. Her idiot cousin was still sleeping and of course Koenma had showed up with Botan. Her eyes narrowed when she spotted Keiko and Shizuru. What in the hell were those two doing here? "Oh, God, they got Kuwabara up first against Rinku." Danielle said with a groan. "If there was ever a time to be ashamed of being human, Andrews, that time is now."

"Why?"

She nodded slightly towards the ring, silently telling him to watch. "Why the hell isn't he moving?" August demanded.

"Shh, he's watching that brat." Evan answered softly.

After a few minutes, Kuwabara finally made his move. They watched as the fight progressed to the point that the human teenager was being thrown around by a bunch of yo-yos. "He's a goner." Danielle stated calmly when Kuwabara was pulled up into the air. "Hmm?"

Her attention went over to Keiko upon hearing her shout Yusuke's name. "Yusuke! How can you keep sleeping when your friend is in trouble with these nasty demons?! Help him, Yusuke! Get off your lazy butt and help him!" Keiko shouted.

She watched as Keiko got up from her seat only to be confronted by a demon. Danielle moved to help Keiko only to stop when Shizuru put her cigarette out on the demon's tongue. "That Urameshi's girl?" August questioned.

"Yep. Yukimura Keiko. The one with the cigarette is Kuwabara Shizuru."

"Nice."

They watched with interest as the two attacked each other. "Wow. The sword bends." August commented lightly. "Maybe I should reconsider my standing about how humans are predictable with their weapons."

None of them said anything as they watched the rest of the fight. "Dumb." Evan said with a frown when the fight was over with. "That guy may have improved from what we've witnessed before but I'd hardly consider him to be suited for this kind of fighting."

"He appears to have more of an interest with street fighting than actual fighting." August said as she looked at Danielle. "Are we right in our assumptions about him.?"

"Yean, it's true. Thankfully Kurama's up next. This is bound to be a good fight."

The other two nodded slightly in agreement as the fight began. "Dirty cheater…" August growled in irritation. "It's demons like him that give the rest of us bad reps. I mean, he's depending on one trick instead of having a bunch of them up his sleeve."

"Huh?" Confusion crossed Evan's features.

"That creep thinks he has Kurama under his thumb. He's got a device of some kind and apparently he thinks that Kurama's going to keep playing his game longer."

"Buh-bye."

They watched as the Death Plant spouted from Roto's body, a shiver going through Evan's body. "Don't piss off Kurama." Evan whispered. "Ever."

Danielle's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Hiei. "Hiei's the one you don't want to anger." Danielle said softly. "Can't you feel it?"

Feel what? What in the hell was she talking about? "Danny?" Evan questioned softly.

Danielle shook her head slightly. "Never mind. Come on, let's move closer to Team Urameshi just incase some idiot gets an idea or two." Danielle said softly.

Nodding slightly, the two followed.

What… What in the hell was he?!

Evan stared in shock at the flame engulfed Hiei before looking at Danielle. Her entire face was pale as black beams of energy began to appear. "Danny?" Evan asked softly.

"Be ready to run for it." Danielle answered softly. "The Dragon of the Darkness Flame isn't something that anybody can survive."

They stepped back when Hiei released the Dragon and covered their faces. When the flames vanished, they stared in shock at the outline that was left on a wall. "Hiei won." August said softly before glancing over at Danielle. "Interested now, Danny?"

"This tournament's still vulgar."

The three teenagers made a disgusted look at the drunken man that had gotten onto the ring. "That's shameful." August said with a frown.

"Danny, look at Urameshi."

Danielle smiled softly. "About time he woke up." Danielle said softly. "Okay, kids, get ready to see why they call him the Great Urameshi."

"Kill Yusuke. Kill Yusuke."

"Oh, yeah, he's great enough he's got everybody chanting that garbage." Evan looked at Danielle with a questioning look. "And you're related to this guy?"

"First cousin."

"Ah. Is his bad attitude as bad as yours?"

"Yep. Maybe worse."

A groan left their lips as they watched before stiffening when they saw Chuu's movements. "Drunken fighting?" Evan asked softly. "Is he serious?"

"Apparently."

"Disgusting."

They watched as the fight began with Chuu circling around Yusuke. "Huh? Where are you going? August asked when Danielle turned.

"I'm not watching this garbage. When they're in the ring then they're not our problem but the human girls are. Out of the ring, they're all our problem." Danielle waved a little before walking off.

"She really hates this tournament, doesn't she?" Evan questioned softly.

"Evan, I don't even like this tournament. We're just here because the Reikai couldn't keep their noses out of a damn demon's business." August's eyes narrowed when she noticed one of the demons advancing towards the girls. "Come on. We've got a subtle assassination to take care of."

Nodding slightly, Evan followed.

"That must hurt like hell."

Hiei turned around, seeing Danielle watching him with a calm look in her eyes. "Hn. Shouldn't you be following the Detective around?" Hiei questioned calmly as he looked at his burned hand.

"My human's supposed to be keeping an eye on the humans. My fox is keeping an eye on your fox." Danielle leaned against a rock. "Your arm must be killing you."

"Hn. Since when was it your concern?"

Danielle looked at him for a moment before answering, "When the time comes, Hiei, let Yusuke have Toguro."

Hiei glared at her. "Go away if you're going to impede my training." Hiei snapped. "I don't have time for your games today."

Shrugging slightly, Danielle flickered from sight. Clenching his teeth, Hiei resumed his training.

lostmoonchild: Right, since I'm pretty sure that we all know what happened during the Dark Tournament I'm just going to say what's going on during the breaks since the storyline doesn't really seem to pay much attention to it. Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted.
