--Think I have to say... I do NOT own the Yu Yu Hakusho characters but I do
own Tora, Aurora, Akkei, Kitsune, and Ryo... Okay...--
--Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama had just left for Akkei's Castle in unknown mountains. The Flying Dragon Tournament is about to begin. Botan needs to find two more fighters before that time.--
"My head is NOT a launch pad!" Touya yelled at Aurora. She just ignored him and pounced off his head anyway. "Stop it!!!" He put his palm up and blew his ice shards toward her.
"Touya!" Botan growled. "You guys are on the same team! Don't be trying to kill one another!" Botan was having trouble trying to get every one of the team members to get along. Aurora was getting on Touya's nerves. Hiei and Tora wouldn't stop bickering. Jin continued to insist that he be declared captain of the team, thus getting Hiei even more agitated. Lastly, she still needed a final fighter before noon, which was not far away. She was trying to convince Ryo to fight for them but he was being a jerk about it. She sighed, "Aurora?"
Aurora had been dodging Touya's shards in the distance. "Stop trying slice me up!"
"Are you going to stop pouncing off my head!?" Touya blew more shards at her.
"Eeep!!! Yes, I'll stop!" she climbed up a tree and sat on a branch, wiping her forehead in relief.
"Aurora!" Botan yelled again.
"What?"
"Where's Ryo? He's the only person I can think of."
Aurora's ears twitched, "Um. I don't know."
Botan slumped her shoulders, "Oyiee. Maybe I can just pick up a fighter outside the stadium."
Meanwhile...
Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara were climbing the mysterious mountains at a high altitude. The winds were icy cold and it was snowing. Fog was also starting to surround the mountaintops making it harder to see than it already was. They were freezing for they hadn't brought any special clothing besides their regular clothes. "Dammit, Yurameshi! It's c-cold!" Kuwabara bellowed.
"N-no one said what the weather was going to be like-but..." Yusuke paused, "Damn that pacifier breath, toddler!!!" His voice echoed throughout the seemingly empty mountains.
Kurama stopped climbing at the sight of something below the three. He squinted, trying to identify what it was. Then it hit him, "Great," he mumbled. "Guys! What does that look like to you!?"
"What?!" both Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted.
"Down there!" Kurama pointed. Yusuke and Kuwabara leaned to their sides and stared down at what looked like a castle. They all groaned and started to climb and slide back down.
Back with Botan and the others, they arrived at the stadium, with five fighters, where the Flying Dragon Tournament was to be held. Botan searched around the growing crowd for at least a half decent fighter. Of course, there were only many obnoxious lower class demons. At the time she didn't care because they were about to be disqualified. "There must be someone to put on this team!" She looked at Aurora who shook her head. She still didn't know where Ryo could have disappeared and no one expected him to suddenly show up. Hiei was scowling at Tora as she was to him. Jin came up next to Botan.
"Well, hows about that feller' there?" Jin pointed to a large fat demon waiting in line for tickets. "He could just sit on a poor lad and suffocate them! Ha!" Jin roared with laughter, holding his stomach.
Botan narrowed her eyes with a sweat drop, "Jin! This is serious! If we get disqualified, we'll never find those demon outlaws!"
"THE FIRST BATTLE OF THE FLYING DRAGON TOURNAMENT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN... WILL BOTH TEAMS PLEASE ENTER THE STADIUM IMMEDIATLY..." a voice over the intercom announced.
Hiei uttered, "If they chose to disqualify us, then they will just have to answer to me."
"Ha! You! If our participation is up to you then we might as well go home now," Tora snickered.
"What was that!? Why don't you say that to my face!" he turned around to face her.
She glared, "If our participation is up to you then we might as well..."
Hiei gnashed his teeth together and hammered his fist on the top of her head before she could finish her sentence again. They sprung at each other and started fighting at lightning speed. Other demons watched as the two stirred up dirt from the ground. Jin closed his eyes with a weak smile on his face, "Come on now. We don't want to be drawin' attention to us." He hesitated, "At least, not this way."
Botan was getting angry, "Hey! Stop it! Let's go inside and-I don't know." Hiei and Tora stopped fighting. Both of them spitting blood out on each other's boots. The group got through the lower class demons and entered the large dark stadium. Before they got to the platform entry room, Ryo showed up with his arms crossed.
"Okay, I've thought about it and my reasons for not helping out became- stupid. So, I'll fight on your team for now," he said.
Botan slapped him across the face, "It took you that long to decide that your reasons were stupid! You total, ignorant, STUPID..."
"Hey! I'm here now. Don't make me change my mind," he walked past her to the fighting arena with the rest of the gang behind him. Botan had her head lowered and her face had turned red.
The hostess, Risu, noticed them enter the stadium finally. The other team was waiting on the other side of the large, round platform shined with black coating. Lights were beaming from the covered ceiling. It was a weatherproof dome. (Of course. Because they're dark and eerie. Had to make it dark and eerie.) Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, (spelling) and Kitsune were going to watch from the first level behind them. The crowd was booing loudly because they still hated them, despite the fact that they knew of their team's strength. "You know-This is actually a nicely built dome. Too bad it's weatherproof. I like the sky." Jin looked up at the high ceiling, "Well, at least there is still room."
Risu spoke into her microphone, "Now, that Team Yurameshi is here-we can start the first battle of the Flying Dragon Tournament!" The crowd roared. "Does each team have six fighters present for the first fight?" she glanced back and forth. "Hm. Okay, then. Will the team captains come to the center of the ring to decide on the way this battle is arranged..."
Jin smiled, "Yes, well with Yurameshi not here. I guess that makes me the actin' team captain. Yeah?" he took two steps toward the ring before Ryo stopped him.
"You? I think I should be the captain."
"What?! You just showed up and now you think you can be the captain? I don't think so!" Jin spit in his face. They argued back and forth and the rest of the team watched with embarrassment. Botan slowly looked over the team members to decide who would be the best captain until Yusuke got back. She had to decide who could be trusted. That ruled out Tora. Who could take the responsibility? That ruled out Aurora. Jin and Ryo seemed to have big heads but it would probably end up being one of them because Hiei and Touya didn't seem to really care. She sighed heavily and just let the two come to an agreement somehow. "I am the best candidate!"
"No you're not! You'll lead this team to its downfall!" Ryo screamed back.
Tora was getting tired of just standing around, "Why don't you let Touya be the team captain. He seems like the best suited for that position-for now."
Hiei glared at her, "Hmph."
Botan stood up, "Yes, that's a great idea! Touya, you are now the acting team captain of this team until Yusuke returns!"
Touya blinked a few times, feeling a little confused, "Okay..." Then he went to the platform and got up on it. The other captain had been getting impatient and had an ugly scowl on his hairy face. Touya looked back for a second then stood still for him to suggest something.
"It's about time! How about we go one on one-alphabetically?" the other captain, Zushuo, said.
Touya nodded and head back to his team. Risu held up a hand in the air and shouted into her microphone, "Okay! An agreement to go one on one has finally been reached and now it's time to see some blood shed! Sorry, a LOT of blood shed!" she pause, "The first battle will be-Ayo Kia from Team Akuma and Aurora from Team Urimeshi! Fighters, to the center of the ring!"
Aurora was a little shocked to have to fight first and didn't much like the alphabetically decision but she headed for the center of the ring anyway. Ayo Kia got up already and stood with a big grin on his face. He was a demon with pointy ears and spiky hair. The rest of him looked human. Aurora seemed to stick out against the rest of the dark demons and the only one who was most like her was the hostess, Risu. Ayo Kia looked over Aurora at her long shiny hair, two-pieced matching dress with matching boots and figured that it would be an easy win for him. He spoke, "Well, sweetie. How's about if I win-and you're not dead. I take you out for dinner some time?"
Aurora frowned, which she rarely did, "IF you win. Sure." Ayo Kia smiled again and waited for Risu to start the fight.
