Guess who's back..... back again..... Blade is back.... tell my fans.... I dunno. Anyways, lol, I'm back with my next chapter.... Chapter 3, and I don't know if I will finish the Dark Tournament saga in this chapter. Maybe I will.... We'll both find out as I write and you read. Anyways, Blade sees and talks and does stuff more with this girl "Kat" who happens to be a cutie. ;; Plus, more stuff that happens. I've gotten some ideas between when I posted chapter 2, and then waited 2 minutes and started this chapter. But I have a good idea what's gonna happen. (Of course. I'm the writer.) Well, without further ado, here is chapter 3. R&R. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Chapter 3: The Dark Tournament pt.2

"Team Yanjo. What the hell kind of name is that?" Yusuke said as we were in our hotel room getting ready for the big fight today.

"I dunno. But, they're goin down." Kuwabarra replied.

"If we were to lose so early in the tournament...I'd feel ashamed." I said. "Besides... I can't have myself look bad. I happen to be known here."

"Yeah? Well no one cares. If we lose, it's not my fault." Yusuke said.

"It will be your fault to because you would've lost a match now wouldn't you. Smart ass. Think before you say." Hiei coldly marked.

"Well now. Lets just enjoy this last evening because tomorrow we have to fight. We will get battered up and win, so lets relax, play games, get drunk off of root beer (even though its not possible), and think of strategies and who's gonna be fighting first." Kurama smiled.

"Yeah, lets listen to fox boy. We should relax." Yusuke laughed.

"I'm gonna go to the gym the have here. I can loosen up my muscles working out." I said.

"See ya later Blade!" Kuwabarra called. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was walking into the near by town. Looking at sites, and smelling freshly baked foods. I wound up going to an arcade first, but remember what I wanted to do. So I left, and as I left, I saw that girl Kat again. She was eating ice cream and reading a book. I thought about going over to say "hi" but remembered she was an enemy in this tournament. So I just walked by her. I don't think she noticed me because there were so many fans and fighters walking around. Having a good time before the tournament began. I walked into this weird shop (obviously forgetting about going to the gym) and was looking around at some weird things. They had frogs eyes, and rat tails, and all kinds of beat stuff. I thought about burning the place down when I saw, "Eye of Fire Demon." But, common sense told me I should just let this one slide. I then walked into another shop where they had loads of jelly beans. They had flavors to them. They had pear, and popcorn, and cotton candy, and Dr. Pepper.... I couldn't help buying a couple bags full of random jelly beans. They were good. I then got a hotdog, and a hamburger, and of course some fries. I was hungry. I then remember, yet again, I had to go to the gym... but I was having such a good time, I didn't really want to anymore.... But I came across the gym and wound up going in anyways. Everyone was lifting weights and everything. So, I took off my shirt and started to lift. I was curling 110 pound bar bells in each hand. I did that 30 times in each hand. Then I went to bench. I was benching 1110 25 times. That gave me a work out. I hadn't noticed I attracted people to watch me. One of them, I realized as I looked up, was Kat.

"Fancy meeting you here." She smirked.

"Just trying to stay in shape. You know." I smiled.

"Can you bench more than that?" Someone asked me.

"Looks like the fire demon has some groupies." She giggled.

"Yup." I said. I put more weights on and started benching 1675 pounds. 20 times.

"Holy shit. How the hell do you bench that much! That's un human!" He said again. "I bench 425."

"Really? That's not that much." I said forgetting they were human.

"For you that's not a lot." He said again. They then went back to their workouts.

"You hungry?" Kat asked me.

"Sure. Lets get something to eat." I replied. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I wonder what Blade's up to. I really do. We are playing life, while he's working out. You know what? I'm going out too. See ya guys later." Yusuke said. Everyone watched him. Then, they got up and left too. They were all walking around together. Going into shops, and joking around with each other. They were walking around having a good time. Then Yusuke spotted something.

"Hey look at that!" he said pointing to a restaurant.

"Its Blade and Kat. Looks like Blade had something else on his mind besides this tournament." Kurama said.

"I knew it! He has the hots for her. I knew he had the eye for girls. What did you guys do to him while you were training?" Yusuke said wide eyed.

"We showed him television, and markets, and I had to show him girls. He was to.... Well.... Plain. He need something. A hobby. Besides fighting, that is. It's not girls really.... But he picked up a scent for it." Kurama chuckled.

"Yes well, he's definitely not how he was when we first fought him. This guy was a dark... crazy ass lunatic. Now, he is going on dates with nice looking girls from other teams in a tournament." Yusuke smiled. "Oh yeah. He's gonna be a pimp."

"A pimp is not a good thing, Yusuke. What would Keiko say if she heard you say that?" Kurama asked politely.

"She'd probably smack the crap outta me. Then I'd be out cold, and wake up in a bench in a park." He goofed.

"Anyways, it looks like they are really getting along." Kurama said.

"Come time we fight them, if it happens, he better not let feelings get in the way. We'll lose like that. But he knows when to be nice and when not to. I know him." Hiei remarked.

"We shouldn't spy on him like this. Let's go guys." Kurama said. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"So, why did you come to fight?" I asked her.

"To meet an interesting guy like you." She replied. "No, I'm just kidding. Actually, I came to win. I want to prove how strong I am and take home all the money."

"Really. I'm here on behalf of my friend Yusuke. His girlfriend will be executed by these people if we don't win... so were gonna have to." I smirked.

"I'm sorry about his girlfriend." She smiled. "Maybe there's another way because we are gonna win the tournament."

"Really now. We'll see if we verse each other. I'd like to knock pretty boy out anyhow. It would be fun. That big ugly lookin mascara wearing.." I started.

"Yes... well. Yamato can be very freaky sometimes. He was in the bathroom one time, for two hours, doing his hair. He's worse than most girls. He's..... yeah." She giggled.

"Well, I must be going. Nice talking with you Kat." I said walking away.

"Anytime Blade." Kat smirked.

I was walking back to the hotel when I noticed bright orange hair sticking up from the bushes. "Why are you spying on me?" I asked.

"Kuwabarra! You dumb ass! Your hair is sticking clearly up in the air!" Yusuke yelled.

"Wha? Ah crap. This sucks." Kuwabarra groaned.

"We are sorry for our intrusion.... But we could not over come the urge to see what you and ms. Kat were up to." Kurama said. "But, if I didn't know any better.... I'd say you two are quiet fond of each other." Kurama smiled.

"...." I just stood there. I couldn't think of an excuse.

"is your tongue missing Blade?" Hiei frowned. "Just remember, that in the tournament, put all feelings aside you."

"Well... we were just talking. We met at the gym and we were hungry..." I began.

"Sounds like a date to me. Me and Keiko always got something to eat at restaurants. Then I'd do something jackatic, and get the shit slapped out of me." Yusuke paused. "...... Keiko..."

"We'll get her back. We wont lose to anybody. And Hiei, about putting feelings aside... consider it done my friend." I smirked at him. He smirked back.

"I knew I didn't have to remind you Blade... just making sure." Hiei grinned. "I cant wait till tomorrow."

"Well, I shall say gang, lets head back to the hotel. I think Genkai might get grumpy for us being so partyful before the match tomorrow." Kurama said. So we walked back to the hotel room. Talking on the way. Kuwabarra was obviously acting like an idiot. Trying to beat up Yusuke until he got slammed by me when he stepped on my foot. He just stopped. As we got into the room Genkai was playing a game. she was playing "Mario Kart Double Dash. She turned and smiled.

"Can you beat me?" Genkai asked. Of course we played. Round 1 was Me, Hiei, Genkai, and Yusuke. I picked Diddy Kong and Para Koopa. I won of course. I always play that game. We eventually fell asleep and woke up the next morning with 15 minutes to get ready.

"Dammit! We really over slept!" Yusuke said as we ran to the packed stadium.

"Oh! And Suzaku really just destroyed Thorn with his Prism of seven!!" The announcer yelled. "Team Youra has one person left as Kat enters for team Swift. The battle begins as Kat... appears right behind Joyo! With a knee to the back! She seems to be charging up for something......" the announcer continued.

"Relay Break Blast!!" Kat said shooting a huge green blast from her hands totally destroying Joyo. Then she looked at me and smiled.

"And Kat gives team Swift a swift victory! But don't go away.... Because next is team Urameshi versus team Yanjo! 10 minutes until this exciting fight as team Urameshi has a lot riding on every fight." The announcer said.

"You guys ready?" I asked.

"Of course. Who the hell do you think we are?" Yusuke smirked.

The 3rd match of the 1st round will begin. Teams, choose your first fighters." The announcer said loudly.

"I got this." Kuwabarra said walking into the ring. While some human walked into the ring. "Look at this little punk. You think you can be beat me?" Kuwabarra said casually.

"No. I know I can beat a big buffoon like you." The person smirked.

"Save it for the match pipsqueak." Kuwabarra replied.

"Its Lou versus Kuwabarra! Let the match begin!" The announcer boomed. Then the bell rang. "I'm gonna tear you to pieces." Kuwabarra said as he used his energy to make double spirit swords.

"Ok. Try it." Lou replied. With a flash of light, Kuwabarra was on the ground and Lou had blasted an energy ball at him. "Take this you oversized bastard!" Lou screamed.

Kuwabarra smirked as he was on the ground. He shoved his sword through Lou's stomach as he was powering up. The crowd was silent as though saying 'what the hell happened?' Kuwabarra got up as Lou fell to the ground. "Oh yeah! Score? 1 for Kuwabarra!!" He yelled aloud. "I'm not coming out of this ring until I lose a match!!"

"Good because that's gonna be this guy." Yusuke taunted.

"Yeah right." Kuwabarra laughed turning back to face his new challenger.

"Rito has entered to fight Kuwabarra." The announcer said. "DING!" the bell had rung.

"Your mine." Rito said coldly.

"Bring it punk!" Kuwabarra said. He lunged at Rito, but Rito easily sidestepped him and kneed him in his gut. Kuwabarra went hurdling to the ground in pain and unable to breath. "Damn. I......Ca......I.....my......brea......th........" Kuwabarra tried speaking.... But with the air leaving his lungs he couldn't really say a word. Yet, he got up, only to be hit by a powerful spirit attack which Rito called the "Megaton Crush." Kuwabarra went out of the ring unconscious.

"No sweat." Rito smirked.

"I believe I will have the honor of fighting Rito." Kurama said walking into the ring. "DING!"

Kurama took out his rose whip and swung hitting Rito in his left shoulder.

"Shit." Rito moaned holding that shoulder which was covered with blood. Kurama the kneed Rito in his solar plexus. Leaving him breathless.

"I wonder if it hurts." Kurama smiled. But he was ill prepared for what happened next. Rito's super quickness had Kurama to the ground in no time as he was stabbed through his back with Rito's long sword.

"Its over." He said as Kurama fell to the ground. Then he kicked Kurama off of the ring.

"OH! And Kurama was taken care of! Amazing! Rito is showing real determination." The announcer said.

"Enough! I'm going in." I frowned as I entered the ring. "Who would've thought. Well now you've got spunk... but your time is over you got that?" I said coldly.

"Bring it *chibi ichi." Rito smirked. (Chibi Ichi- small one) "DING!"

"Let's dance wimp." I smirked. I then charged at him, and appeared behind him and kneed him in the back of his knees. "Well, well. I'd say your gay because you've fallen to your knees for me. I'm sorry though, I like girls." I said. Then I thrust kicked his stomach. "Now what do we have here? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you look breathless." I smirked. Then I drew my sword and hit him in the head with the blunt side of it. His head busted open, blood all over him. "Time to end the torture." I said throwing him out of the ring.

".........." The announcer was speechless. "Well! Look at that! Rito was beaten... no... annihilated by Blade!" The announcers voice boomed. I saw Kat in the stands, and she looked rather impressed.

"Next." I called. This big, oafy, muscle bound fat man came in.

"I be Orion. I be wantin' ter fight ya." He said.

"You smell like rotten fish, and you sound like a jackass." I sighed. "Fine let me kick you ass and get it over with."

"You bring it on young man. I be waitin fer ya." Orion laughed jollily. "DING"

"You big Santa Claus lookin...." I began.

"Oh, getting Christmassy are we. No presents fer you youn' man." Orion burped out.

"Stupid fat man." I grumbled. The battle began. I wanted to end this quick, so I gave him a blow to the stomach...... but he just laughed and the punch bounced off. "What in the hell?" I said shocked. "That's it!" I'm ending this now!" My hand lit up and I became surrounded by fire. "Black Dragon Attack!" I roared.

"Wha? What ye think yur doin'?" He asked then his eyes grew wide. "No!"

"Its over!" I yelled. I released this Black Dragon with fire surrounding it from my hands and it went through Orion and knocked him out of the ring. He didn't get up, and no one could pick him up, so he just laid there.

"And Orion has been defeated!" The announcer roared. I left the ring with my eyes closed. "Just the beginning." I smirked. "I'm waiting for your arrival... Taguro."

The final 3, Yusuke and Hiei alternated. Yusuke then Hiei then Yusuke. The match was a simple beginning. The true heart of fighters will come soon enough.

(Back in the hotel) "That was easy. Our first fight last time wasn't exactly a walk in the park." Yusuke smiled.

"Well, that fat man wasn't exactly a simple punch win." I frowned.

"I know. It was a punch try and name calling and then your Black Dragon win. But I assure, there will be harder battles than that. You might even lose." Yusuke smirked.

"......Never. I won't lose. Don't push me Yusuke." I warned.

"Oh never. I wont." Yusuke said laughing.

The first round was a simple test almost. Like a walk in the park and fighting some jocks before leaving. The true tests have yet to have been uncoverd...... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
