Lizzie:BAck!And not crushing on Kitsune!

Kitsune:You better not be!

Hermione:Lizzie doesn't own YYH.She just owns the plot and the made up stuff.

FRizzie:Onto the crazy~ness!

Later that night...............

Lizzie rolled over in the bed so that she was facing into Hiei's chest.His warmth spread through her as he put his muscular arms around her back.Both were wide awake and a bit frightened.Neither were sure about what was going to happen tomorrow.They had the first fight.All they could think of was the fight.The first match was probably going to be 2 on 2.The team they were to face was Team Kitte.Two of the people on the team were twins who always trained and fought together.That meant that Lizzie and Hiei would have to fight together.Neither thought that they could do that.Lizzie knew she would worry too much about messing up and making Hiei worry about her and end up messing up himself.Hiei was merely worried for Lizzie.He let out a soft breath on her neck."You need to rest,Lizzie.You don't want to be tired for the fights tomorrow."He kissed the top of her head.Lizzie shrugged and snuggled closer to him.

"Hiei,you need to sleep as well."She sighed onto his chest.She didn't know what to do.She wanted to be close to him at all times,but she knew that she couldn't.She wanted to always protect him,but she couldn't do that either.She wanted to love him and him alone.But she was afriad that she might not be able to do that either.Hiei pulled her close.He could sense her hurt and wanted to stop it.

"Lizzie,I don't sleep often.You do and you need sleep now."He kissed the top of her head,closing the discussion.Lizzie moved closer to him and laid her head next to his heart.She could hear the gentle and calm beat of it."Lizzie,I cannot wait much longer."He kissed her one last time then fell alseep,as did his delicate fiance.Neither slept peacefully,though.

the next day............

Hiei woke up,but kept his eyes closed.Something didn't feel right.He felt around on the bed then shot up and opened his eyes.Lizzie was gone.She wasn't in the bed."Lizzie.......Aisuru((Sweetheart)).Where are you?"He quickly got up and tossed on a shirt and some pants over his boxers.HE went out into the other room and found Lizzie sitting in Kumane's lap,sipping tea.Kurama was sitting across from them with a cup of tea.He was also doing something with some awkwards cards.((FortuneTelling))Hiei ran over to Lizzie and sat next to her."Lizzie,don't do that!"He scolded her softly.

Lizzie looked up at him with bright lavender eyes."Don't do what?"She was pretending to be innocent but Hiei quickly saw through it.

"You know very well what!When I woke up,I thought you had been kidnapped."He pulled her out of her brother's lap and rested her in his own.Lizzie laid her head against his chest and smiled.

"I am sorry.I just heard Kurama and Kumane talking and I came out to talk with them.I didn't think that you would wake up very soon."She kissed his cheek."I love you,Hiei."

Kumane glared at Hiei and took his sister back."She was kidnapped.Kidnapped from Genkai's where she is supposed to be!"He took Lizzie to the door and set her down."She and I are going back there right now!"Lizzie ran back to Hiei and put her arms around him,not caring she had dropped her tea."Lizzie?What are you doing with him?Get back over here now!"

The young woman kissed Hiei's cheek."No.Hiei is to be my husband.I love him and he loves me.Can't you just accept that,Pikea?((PIE-key-uh))We're going to get married.We're going to........"She trailed off.

The man came over to her and stared at her."Lizzie......Pikea is gone.He won't come back.I miss him as much as you do,but you can't do anything about it."

Lizzie turned to face Kumane,her eyes wide and shining with tears."Kumane......Did I call you that?"Her brother nodded and held out his arms.Lizzie ran into them.She cried into his shoulder.The Urameshi Team stared at them.All of them were awake now.

Yusuke came a few steps closer."Who's Pikea?"

Lizzie took a deep,calming breath."Pikea was our older brother.He died exactly 8 years before I met any of you.He always watched out for us and helped us out.Hac was in rehab from drugs.That's why I thought he was dead.I never saw him after Pikea died.As for Uncle Herman,I still don't get that.Pikea kept our family going and together.Well,the little bit that was left of it.My mother died a few days after I was born.Then Hac went into rehab.Pikea then died.Then Kumane did."She let a few tears fall from her eyes."Pikea died from a car crash.He was coming to pick me up from my dance class.He was driving safe.At a traffic light,he had the green and some drunk had a red.The drunk ran the light and crashed right into Pikea.He went headlong through the window.The only way I knew something had happened was when he didn't show up for our warm downs.I can remember him coming everyday for our warm downs and doing them with us."

Kumane nodded."He was always so gentle.Pikea was like our parents.He took care of us,he took us where we wanted to go,he took care of our wounds.When we fell and scraped our knees for example."He pulled his baby sister closer to him just out of comfort for himself.Lizzie strung her arms around Kumane's neck and laid her head over his heart."Lizzie,I am sorry.I've tried to protect you like Pikea did.But I've over done it.I'm sorry.........Linnie........"He lifted Lizzie's head with his finger."You can marry Hiei with my blessings.On one condition."Lizzie nodded."Let me give you away to him.I want to try to be like Pikea to you.I know that if he were still alive you would want him to give you away."

Hiei came over to them and touched Lizzie's shoulder.Lizzie turned around and put her arms around him,as he did to her.She nudged Hiei so he would answer."Of course.She has wanted her family to give her away.We would love for you to give her away."She nudged him again."Kaime."Everyone in the room smiled.Kurama broke the sweet silence.

"We have to get down to the areana in a moment."He looked at Lizzie and Hiei,who were the only two not dressed yet."Get ready then meet us down in the lobby."They all headed downstairs,except for Hiei and Lizzie.They went into their room and began to undress.Lizzie pulled out a black and red training outfit,much like the one Kurama wore.She put it on then took her hair out of the ponytail it was in.Hiei had put on his usual black outfit except with a white belt.He went over to Lizzie and put his arms around her.

He fingered her hair.Lizzie looked up at him."Hiei,we don't have time to do this.We have to get downstairs for the battles."She kissed his cheek."Help me braid my hair?"Hiei nodded and took her hair in his hands.He made a single,smooth braid.He tied it off with a silver ribbon and the 2 hurried off downstairs,grabbing their weapons on the way.They met the guys in the lobby."Hey!Let's go."The 5 ran off out the door.Hiei stayed close to Lizzie out of protection.She slipped one of her hands into his as they entered their locker room."Hiei,I do not want you to be worried for me.I will not get hurt.I will be calm and I will not get hurt.So,please do not mess up because of me."She kissed his cheek."Concentrate on keeping yourself from harm."

Hiei nodded and grasped his hand around his sword.Lizzie smiled and went over to talk with Kurama about the team they were to face.Team Kitte was being supported by Sakyo,so they could guarantee that it would be difficult."Team Kitte will be the hardest team this time around.If we beat them,we will have an almost sure win in the tournament."He put a hand on Lizzie's shoulder and smiled."The first fight is double teamed so you and Hiei will fight.Are you ready for that?"Lizzie nodded then looked back at her fiance.He was sitting down on the bench next to the window.His eyes were shining with delight and his hands were folded softly in his lap.Hiei glanced over at Lizzie and smiled.

The two of them stared at each other and their eyes quavered.Hiei walked over to Lizzie and put his arms around her."I'm ready if you are."She nodded again and the team headed outside.They saw Koto standing in the center of the ring.

She was wearing her usual outfit and was grinning broadly."Okay!The first 2 teams for this year's Dark Tournament are Team Urameshi and Team Kitte!Team Urameshi consists of Team leader Yusuke Urameshi.His good friend,Kazuma Kuwabara.The foxy redhead,Kurama.The fierce Jaganshi,Hiei.And a newcomer to the team.This one's a girl!Her name is Cazador but she goes by Caz.Hopefully,she'll have just as many loop-de-loops as the rest of her team."There was some scattered applause.Yet it was quite strong for it came from those who had seen their previous victory."And Team Kitte consists of Team leader,Kitte Nomad.His twin brother,Paradox Nomad.A fiesty shorty known only as Crow.The infamous Shinobi,Bakken.And another Shinobi,Rama,who is related to the Gama that was killed by Kurama 3 years ago."

Team Urameshi stared at Lizzie.Why was she going by 'Caz'?Hiei went over to her and laced his arms around her."Cazador?Trying to intimidate someone?"

Lizzie smirked."Yeah,Kitte and Paradox."She went to the edge of the areana.

Koto had watched Hiei's sign of affection to Lizzie."The first fight will be a double-team fight.Will Cazador please come up here with me!"Lizzie hopped up onto the areana and stood next to Koto."Now,Caz,you are required to fight right now.But you are allowed to chose who you want to fight with you.You can change it before every match.Who will it be for this match?"

She smiled and looked at Hiei."It's gonna be the strongest person on Team Urameshi of course.C'mon,Hiei.This is what we've been training for!"Hiei nodded and jumped into the ring.He went over to Lizzie and put a strong arm around her and kissed her cheek.Koto grinned as Lizzie blushed."Hiei,not in public......"Hiei didn't listen.He kissed her neck and put his hands on her stomach.

Koto smirked."Well!It seems we've already dicovered something about Cazador!She is in love!And Hiei has obviously changed a good deal in 3 years.He is in love as well!With the Hanyou Cazador!"Lizzie appeared behind Koto and drop-kicked her so she fell over."Ow!!Apparently,Cazador also is a very good drop-kicker.This girl knows her Karate!Ouch!"She stood up and looked at Lizzie."Cazador,ya do know that you are NOT supposed to attack the announcer.You're supposed to attack your opponent!"

Kitte and Paradox jumped up into the ring together.They were twin boys with dark black hair and bright red eyes.They were Reshio's half brother's.They were trained in the way of the Shinobi as well but never joined the ninja group.Kitte took a few steps towards the members of Team Urameshi."I have 2 words for you guys.Buzzard meat."He smirked as did his brother."Koto,begin the matches,already."

The fox girl stood up and her ears twitched back and forth."Alright!Match one of Round one of the Dark Tournament,Hiei and Cazador versus Kitte and Paradox!Begin!"Koto backed off to the edge of the areana.

Hiei and Lizzie held hands as their opponents drew closer.Kitte and Paradox drew their swords,as did the couple.Lizzie took a step forward as did Kitte.Their eyes locked and they dropped their swords.Kitte took another step forward,as did Lizzie.She let go of Hiei's hand.Kitte's red eyes sparkled."You're not Cazador!You're that stupid ningen,Lizzie!"He laughed.

Lizzie closed her eyes and her hair became steadily lighter until it was a mercury silver.Her skin was darker and her outfit was a black tunic.Her left arm was bandaged heavily.When she opened her eyes,they were a forest green.She took a step towards Kitte."I am Cazador now."She grinned.Silvery ears and a silver tail began to grow.She picked up her sword and drew it up to chest height."We will settle this now,Kitte.No one will stop us and Hiei and Paradox will wait to fight until after we have settled this.Agreed?"

Kitte nodded."Fine,we will do just that."He smirked evilly."Now,let's begin."He picked up his sword and put it up at chest height as well."Let's go!!"The 2 jumped up into the air slashing their swords at one another.One sword fell to the ground in 3 bloody peices.Then Kitte fell to the ground covered in deep,bloody gashes and dark bruises.Cazador landed about a foot away from Kitte,however,she was on her feet while Kitte was laid on his stomach."Cazador.......You have become much stronger......."He took a gasp of air.

Koto looked at Kitte."Wow......That was fast......Anyway,I'll take a ten count!1......2.......3........"

Kitte looked up at Cazador."You're not boasting?"

"4........5........"

Cazador grinned."I have changed,Kitte.I have changed greatly thanks to this human girl."

"6.......7........"

Kitte smiled."I see that.Normally I would have beaten you in this short time."

"8.......9........"

Cazador smiled softly."Touche......Touche......."

"10!And Kitte is out of here!If Hiei and Cazador can take down Paradox,then they win the first match!"Koto smiled."Man,that was fast!We will have to replay that when the match is over!"

Cazador returned to normal old Lizzie and went over to Hiei."You have to take on Paradox yourself.Kitte and I had a dispute to settle,so we took out each other.Think you can take Paradox?"Hiei nodded and pressed his cheek against hers."What was that for?"She kissed his cheek.

He laughed."Probably the same reason you kissed me.So I would have luck!"He laughed and ran out into the center of the ring."I'm taking you on alone,Paradox!Come face your fate!"Paradox laughed and drew his sword.Hiei felt the Enatsu Kokuryu-ha((Dragon of the Darkness Flame)) twitch.'No......Not now.I don't want to use it now.'He took his sword and grinned."Let's go....."

Both ran at each other headlong.Their swords clashed together.Paradox grinned."Reshio was my master!I control earth!"He jumped back and rock and dirt flew towards him,forming armor around him."Armor of Clay!"He dropped his sword and pulled his arms up in a battle stance.Hiei laughed and tossed his sword back to Lizzie."Use that Dragon and let's see what it can do!"

Hiei laughed."I used the Dragon in my first match of the last Tournament I was in!I will save it for the final this time!"He dashed at Paradox and slashed the armor on his chest.It fell off and cracked on the areana floor.Paradox looked stunned and didn't move.Hiei took the oppritunity to kick him in the stomach,knocking the wind out of him as he fell over."I don't want to waste energy on a peice of rubbish like you."He kicked the lifeless body next to him.Paradox's eyes rolled back into his head.

Koto stared."A quick end to match one!I don't think I need to take a 10 count on this one!He looks like he's dead so I'd say......The winner's of round one are Hiei and Cazador!Or,according to Kitte,Hiei and Lizzie!Either way it's a victory for Team Urameshi!!"She smiled.Way to go!I bet this team will claim victory over the Tournament again!Escpecially since all the Toguro's are dead!"

Yusuke climbed up into the ring and ran over to Koto,his face red in anger."WHAT?!I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GONNA BE HERE!!!"

Koto's ears twitched."Chill!Don't have a cow!They're dead so obviously someone told you wrong,eh?"She smiled."Anyway,it's time for the next battle!"
