Pre chappy notes: OK, thanks to all whom reviewed, I thank you. I'm making this up as I go along. Shoot me. No, that was a joke. Put that shotgun down. hey. ouch! Continue to read and review, please. Oh, and a biiig cookie goes to whoever tells me how to spell "Tetsuiga" (Inu's sword).

Disclaimer has spoilers for the chapter, so it is on the bottom. Read the chapter on the way down.

Chapter 3. I'm too lazy to think up a good chapter name so this title is just a bunch of silly blather and a confession of my total laziness. Well, why are you reading the chapter title?! Go read the story!

The assault ship Basroil flew through outer space, lead by Lafiel, a princess of the Ahb nation. Also onboard was Jinto, a former count of a Human Federation. The ship had a small crew onboard, along with a few passengers. Three, to be precise. One was a man, with pale skin and short, calm hair. His eyes were in that cute anime expression (^_^) and his clothes were that of a cleric, or a priest. He also carried a strange staff, with a red jewel on it's tip. The second was a woman, with dark red hair. She also had bluish gray eyes, and her hair was long and in ponytails. She had a black blouse and black pants, as well as a sling and a dagger. Boots as well. Her name was Sukina. The cleric's name was Kyoshi. Both worked for the third. The third man was actually a thirteen year old, with tanned skin, and messy black hair, as well as black eyes. He was in a tuxedo, and was standing upright. All three were on the bridge of the Basroil. Lafiel had let them onboard, as the thirteen year old had saved them in a battle in the past. Lafiel was an Ahb, and so she had blue hair, and gray eyes, along with elf ears. She looked about twenty-two.

AN: Hold on, I gotta eat a pastry. ^_^ *Turns chibi and takes out a pastry* *munch* *UnChibi* Thank you for waiting!! I love strawberry!! ^_^

Lafiel looked at the three, and tried to distinguish their feelings. The ship was on autopilot, so she could take her mind off the ship. First, she looked at Kyoshi. Every time she saw him, he had that ^_^ look. Never had she seen him with his eyes open. She could not distinguish his mind. So, she went on to the next one. Sukina.

She was obviously thinking, and her face was scrunched up. Earlier she had said 'thank you for the ride' about twenty times, then shut up for the rest of the time. As she was, she was looking around the ship. Also, she was thinking about something important. Probably an order. Finally, New, the teenage genius.

He was simply looking out the window. What a waste of a look. Sighing, she looked out the window as well.

About ten minutes later, a conversation between Kyoshi and his employer began. They were talking about a mission, Lafiel assumed, but she ignored it.

"I ask, what is this think Akamatsu-San asked you about?" Kyoshi started, taking out a cigarette. "It seemed important."

"Well, I was going to talk to you about it anyway. That clan, what is it called, is messing up the Love Hina world incredibly. Someone is falling in love with someone he should not be." New looked at Kyoshi and grinned. "Guess."

"Well, is it Hatani and Shinrai?" Kyoshi said, in a slightly puzzled voice.

"No, although I shudder to think why that happened. Hey, at least they are getting love now, eh?" New said, mentally snickering. That was a joke between them, about a time that Hatani and Shinrai had accidentally fallen asleep in the wrong bed.

"Well, then I guess it is Narusegawa and Urashima, hai? Kyoshi said, sighing. "Keitaro is in love with someone else, neh? And Narusegawa is in love with someone that should not even be there." Kyoshi suddenly realized. "It is a Fan Fiction Writer, neh? It isn't you."

"Neh, that it isn't. I personally think that that is the best couple there." New sighed, leaning back. "I'm gonna need Sukina and you to work together on this." He smirked. "Is that too hard?"

Kyoshi smirked. "Sore Wa Himitsu Desu!!" He said, in flawless Japanese. New knew that he was joking around. The group did that a lot.

"I think that either Narusegawa or Maehara would be the best." New said, continuing. "Try for those. I don't understand the authors that try for Mitsumi or," New shuddered, "Kitsune. I hate drunks." New rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, though listening, Kyoshi was about to light the cigarette he had taken out with a Slayers Lighter when he was interrupted. "Light that cigarette and you can walk from here." Lafiel said, not even looking in Kyoshi's direction. "I'm not joking. Throw them all away. No smoking on the ship." Kyoshi sighed, and threw the cigarette away, along with the pack.

"Well, Naru due to the fact that they would be the best couple. Maehara cause she loves him, and I think I should shut up now, cause I see that the bridge is looking at us like we are total morons." New pointed behind Kyoshi, putting a toothpick in his mouth.

The entire crew was staring at the two. Even Lafiel was staring at them with a curious look. Kyoshi and New sweatdropped, and looked away. "Oh, do you know where we are going?" Kyoshi said, asking New.

"The International Space Station, for the Anime Tournament 2003." New grinned, and looked out the window. He chewed on the pointy end of his Toothpick as he watched out the window. ~

Seven hours later, at the International Space Station's Dock.

The ship Basroil docked at the giant space station, after requesting landing. Lafiel walked off the ship, along with most of the rest of the crew. New, Kyoshi, and Sukina were at the front, and didn't notice the others until they turned. "Err, can I ask why you have deemed it proper to follow us, your Highness?" New asked, a sweat drop appearing.

"I just want to see this. Sounds interesting." She said, smiling a little. New smiled, said OK, and walked to the head of the tournament, a man named Kail Hobbes. The two bowed, and shook hands.

"Long time no see, old boy. How are you doing?" New said, smirking.

"Fine, shorty, I'm doing well. Seems that you're doing the same, seeing that suit. Did you come to watch the tournament?" Kail patted New on the head. "Or just for a bottle of 1615 wine? I just got a new shipment from Arcania."

New grinned. "I'd like a glass of that later. But, now I just came here to watch. Want to bet who wins?"

"Nah, I'm to lazy. Besides, it is always better to bet on the last battle." Kail said, snapping his fingers. A bottle of the aforementioned wine was given to him, along with a few glasses. "Would you like a glass, your highness?" Kail said, to Lafiel.

"No thank you. I will go to my room now." Lafiel replied, her eyes stern.

"Very well." New said, nodding. "Kyoshi, please show her highness to her room." Next, New turned to Sukina. "Take a walk around and learn about the place. I need to talk to old Kail for a few minutes." Sukina left to look around, but she had orders. She remembered the orders she was given, and went to complete her mission. ~

InuYasha was sleeping in his room, in his usual cross-legged sitting position. He had the Tetsuiga in arms, and he was half awake. He could sense something interfering in his dreams. It was human. And it had metal. It was bladed. and had shed blood. InuYasha knew that it was probably hostile. He heard it get closer. and closer. and almost within stabbing distance to him.

InuYasha attacked. He drew the Tetsuiga and slashed at the intruder, directly at the neck. He opened his eyes to see if he had killed the target, and he saw something that would make him irritated. He saw a Seventeen year old with a curious look on her face. She crouched and poked at him.

"Are you drunk? Didn't you know that the Tetsuiga wouldn't work? It is only painfully obvious." The girl smelled InuYasha's breath and rolled her eyes. "I think you've been hitting the sake a bit hard recently. Are you sure you haven't met Fujisawa-Sensei somewhere?" She sniggered. "I'm Sukina. Nice to meet you. I know your name, so don't introduce yourself." She walked back a bit and sat. "Your Tetsuiga isn't very sharp, is it? If you fight Himura like that, you're doomed."

InuYasha used every relaxing exercise Kagome taught him to keep from attacking. "Tell me why it won't work, or I'll kill you where you sit." InuYasha glared at her.

"It doesn't work here because you aren't using the sword to protect Kagome. Here the victory is a wish. And knowing you, you're wishing to be a full Demon, aren't you?" Sukina said, shaking her finger. "You'll get the powers back when you have found a need to protect Kagome that involves this fight."

"OK." InuYasha said, and he went back to sleep, as soon as he noticed that she was gone. ~

The next morning, the tournament began. A large signboard showed the fighters.
