Raining Cats and Demons

Chapter Eleven: An Invitation

Once Hiei dragged Reiluka out of the temple and into the forest the training began.

"First I am going to see how much you know. You will spar with me." Hiei told her as they both got into a fighting stance. "Go!" Hiei yelled as he ran at her. Reiluka blinked as Hiei disappeared. She looked around her for a minute and then she spotted him coming at her with his fist pulled back. Reiluka put her arms up in defense just as Hiei punched her arm. There was a loud 'thud' and then Hiei was gone again. Reiluka took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"You shouldn't be sleeping." Hiei called out to her. She opened her eyes and looked for Hiei. She saw a black blur and punched at it. Hiei fell to the ground clutching his stomach. Reiluka smiled at him. "How's that?" She asked as she helped him up. "Hn." And then Hiei took off again. Reiluka got back into her fighting stance and prepared for Hiei's attack. Suddenly she heard something behind her. She turned around and Kurama was standing in front of a bush. Reiluka soon found herself flung into a tree by Hiei. "Ouch." She moaned as she stood up and walked over to the two boys. "Never take your eyes off of your opponent." Hiei told her once she reached them. Reiluka sighed. Kurama smiled at her. "Koenma wants us to find Yusuke and Kuwabara. He said it was very important." Kurama told the two. "What does that toddler want us to do now!?" Reiluka and Hiei yelled at the same time. They looked at each other. After a few minutes Reiluka giggled and turned away. Hiei did the same. Kurama noticed there was a slight blush on Hiei's face. He shook his head. "Well, lets get going." Reiluka said and then ran off into the woods with Kurama and Hiei following.
Once they got into the city they looked around. As Reiluka was searching through the park she heard something. She turned around and got into fighting stance. Soon a large, green demon walked out from behind some trees. "Well, aren't you a pretty one." The demon said as he looked Reiluka up and down. "What do you want?" Reiluka hissed. "You will not hiss at me!" The demon growled and threw Reiluka. She went through a few trees until she finally stopped when she hit a boulder. And guess who was there. "What happened?" Kurama asked her as she picked herself up. She growled as she looked back the way she had come. Hiei then came into the clearing. He looked to where Reiluka was looking and saw a huge green demon walk into the clearing. "That damn demon right there hit me!" Reiluka yelled. Hiei and Kurama narrowed their eyes at the demon. "Now why would he do that?" Hiei said. "Because that bitch right there hissed at me!" The green guy snarled. Reiluka suddenly turned into her demon form and tried to attack the green guy. Kurama held onto her tightly.

"Lemme go! Lemme go!" Reiluka hissed as she tried to get loose. "Reiluka calm down." Kurama said quietly. After a few minutes of huffing Reiluka calmed down a bit. Kurama turned to the demon. "Tell us what you want and leave before we kill you." Kurama said angrily. "Ah, yes. You three are invited to the Dark Tournament. You cannot refuse or you and everyone that you know will be killed. You will be on Urameshi's team." With that last word the demon disappeared. Reiluka looked at Kurama and Hiei.

"We had better go find Yusuke and the idiot." She said quietly and then turned and walked away.

It didn't take long before they found Yusuke. He was standing in the middle of a parking garage while another man was talking to him. Reiluka watched in amazement as the mans muscles grew larger. Then the man started hitting the pillars around Yusuke. Reiluka could smell his fear from where she and the others stood. Then the strange man told something to Yusuke and then walked towards them. "I trust that you were invited to the tournament; no doubt on Yusuke's team. You have two months to train. I hope for your sake you get better." The man told them. His voice sent chills up Reiluka's back. "What's out chances?" She heard Kurama ask Hiei. "You don't want to know." He said and then left. Reiluka looked questionably at Kurama. "Kurama, where am I supposed to go?" She asked him. He smiled. "Do you remember where Genkai's temple is? You can stay there and train." Reiluka nodded. Then Kurama waved goodbye and jumped from the roof. Reiluka jumped along the tops of buildings to reach the temple. 'I wonder if we have any chance at all at the dark tournament.' She thought as she ran.
