"Detective I'll come. I think you've learned your lesson never judge anyone before you get to know them." The icehime said.

Silently everyone headed for Reikai.

Thirty minutes later in Reikai...

"I don't care what you say Koenma!" Kura shouted.

"Kura please. I'll even clear you slate with Reikai." The prince of Reikai begged.

"Read my lips. We. Are. Not. Fighting. With. Them." Kura said her arms crossed stubbornly.

"But Kura..."

"No. Koenma no." Kura stated.

"Let's make a deal if my team beats yours, you fight with us and if you win you get to do what ever you want. We fight your rules. How does that sound?" Koenma asked praying that she would accept.

"Fine. In the training arena down stairs tomorrow at seven o'clock, three fighters each team. Best two out of three if there is a tie then another fighter from each team will have to fight. You can choose now if you want it really doesn't matter to me." Kura said.

"Alright, I choose Yusuke, Hiei and Kurama." Koenma said after surveying his team.

'Oh crap.' was all that came to the icehime's mind.

What is it?

Lance, are you simple, stupid or just slow?

I think I'll leave that one unanswered, but seriously what's wrong?

Look at whose fighting...

There was a pause before, Damn. You got it bad.

"Two demons and a human, fine by me. Yukilyn, Raven and I will fight." Kura said as the other two aforementioned demons stepped forward as she resisted the urge to gulp.

Yukilyn was two inches taller than Hiei, with waist length blond hair with red streaks, red eyes, claws and fangs. She adorned a black battle kimono (a/n: think Sango's demon exterminator outfit from Inuyasha {do not own}) with a blood red sash and a white bandana on her forehead (a/n: covering a jagan).

Raven now was a whole different story; he was a foot taller than Hiei, with shoulder length blue/black hair tied in a low ponytail, he had blue/green eyes, claws and fangs. His kitsune blood could easily be seen in his calm yet cold blue/green eyes, and the grace of an extremely cocky kitsune in his every movement. His kimono was similar to Yukilyn's only it had the picture of a silver/white fox on the front with a deep blue sash.

"Come on you guys time to go get our 'rest'." Kura said before adding telepathically to her teammates, We start training at four o'clock

Next morning at four o'clock in the training arena...

"Kura speed it up and stop playing around." Lance shouted to the icehime.

Lance, you keep harassing me why don't you harass Raven? He's the one who's fooling around. Kura wined telepathically.

Lance ignored her. Kura gave an inaudible growl and sprung at Raven again.

Two hours later...

Yusuke and co. walked out of the passageway and looked down into the arena.

"Wow, she's fast, maybe even faster than Hiei." Yusuke stated as they walked down towards Kura's team.

Hiei just "hned" and followed the others. 'That cocky little whelp will never be faster than me. Never,'

In the ring...

Kura's ears twitched, using her power to control ice she froze Raven's feet to the arena floor despite his indignant outburst.

Without turning she used her ability to sense shifts in the air around her, the air waves rippled with the foolish ningens movements Hiei and Kurama's movements were almost undetectable.

The Reikai Tatent had arrived. She pulled her blade, which was glowing silvery-white from the arena floor and sheathed it in one fluid motion. Then she released the offended fire wolf/fox pup, apologizing softly while avoiding the fireballs he threw at her.

She turned to face them a few strands of her white/blue hair framed her beautiful yet cold face. (a/n: she doesn't have dog/wolf ears today, her ears look like human ears except they are slightly pointed.) She adorned a red-gold battle kimono this morning it accented her now gold eyes (her eyes change according to her mood. Gold means she's feeling rather smug about something.). A silver slayer mask covered her nose and mouth, hiding her razor-sharp two-an-half-inch long fangs from view.

Which in Kura's opinion was not too bad since it kept her from ripping open people's throats with her fangs, though when she was extremely angry she sometimes wished that the mask was off so she could kill as she pleased.

'I wonder why she wears that mask?' Yusuke thought silently to himself.

Why don't you ask her? he heard Ria's usually cold voice soft with an almost respectful tone in it as she watched Kura reverently say.

Well I'm not going to be so bold as to ask her, "Why do you wear that mask?" And then end up begging for mercy? Hell no. Yusuke resorted stubbornly.

What's the matter Yusuke? Scared? The Spirit Detective could hear Ria's teasing voice in his head, and he could almost see the cocky little feline dance around his head.

Before Yusuke could reply, an irritated female voice cut into their little conversation, If you two could please stop bickering like an old married couple. I would thank you very much.

Both members of the Reikai Tatent cast their eyes around Kura's group first to Kura who was rubbing her forehead as if she had a headache and then to Yukilyn who stood arms crossed a very irritated look on her face.

Yusuke and Ria cast sidelong glances at each other and then Ria severed the mental connection.

"So are we going to start the match or are we going to stand here and bicker like old married couples?" Yukilyn asked the irritation slowly fading from her face.

Kura narrowed her eyes at her younger sibling's temperament, "Patience, Lyn let them at least warm up."

Yukilyn growled and looked away her red eyes gleaming with impatience. Purposely Kura ignored her, turning to Lance who stood next to her gaze softened, walking past the older wolf she said, "I'm just going for a little stroll before the fight to clear my head."

Lance merely glanced back at his adopted little sister, "Kura, are you sure you want to fight? I could take your place if you change your mind you know."

This time the young ice-hime looked at him her gaze cold, and deadly, "Lance, I thank you for your concern but I am positive I still want to fight despite the fact that the odds are against me," The girl looked over at the arena where Hiei and Ria were sparring, before her gaze shifted to the rest of the team, wordlessly she noted one of the team members absence before continuing.

"And despite the feelings that still linger for, someone I am unsure that it is the same person I fell in love with three decades ago, I will fight as I was trained to. Regardless of my opponent." With that the girl was gone.

Lance sighed, Kura had chosen her path, she had chosen to fight and for that decision he worried about her. She thought her heart was as strong and as immune to feeling as it had once been but she was wrong she had gotten soft, he just hoped for her sake she would find the strength to fight here and still be able to fight in the Ice Tournament otherwise known as the Tournament of the Immortals. This was going to be the final test of her strength, this was what was going to make or break her.
