Chapter 2

The Tournament Entrance

Hiei waited high up in one of the many trees surrounding the site of the boat they would take to get to Hanging Neck Island. Where was everyone?

Kurama came running up, with Yusuke and Kuwabara behind him. They were all gasping for breath. Hiei nearly laughed. Kurama looked so ridiculous when he was out of breath. Not to mention the fool, who was panting like a dog.

"Well?" Hiei prompted. "Where's our fifth fighter?"

"They're coming," said Yusuke. "They're going to meet us at the island."

"All aboard!" cried the ships captain. And with the uncertainty of if Yusuke even had a fifth fighter, Team Urameshi boarded the ship to Hanging Neck Island.

The same woman from before stood hidden in the trees. She laughed. If team Urameshi didn't come up with a fifth fighter soon, it was curtains for Botan.

And after Botan, she thought. A line of murders would occur. First would come the ferry girl. Then the kitsune. The detective, the buffoon, the toddler. The detectives girlfriend, the buffoons sister, the ice maiden. Only the fire apparition would be left to suffer.

"Suffer, Hiei," she muttered. "Just as you forced me to, fifteen years ago." And then she was gone.

Team Urameshi needs a fifth fighter! They need characters! And what could have possibly happened 15 years ago? Read and review, pleeeez.
