Author's note: Who wants to be in the tournament? Tell me about yourself
and who you wanna fight! And hurry the tournaments about to start and
everybody is ready to fight!
Go fish
When the S.S Demon Sail reached shore, only five people stepped out of it. Kuwabara was not as comfortable with the mass murder of last night as his four companions. "Did you have to kill them ALL?!" he asked as they checked into the busy hotel where the fighters were staying.0
"They were only competition. This just gives us a better chance at winning. Besides, those guys were annoying, boat rides are already bad enough without a bunch of stinky morons." She explained before following a bellboy to her room. Kuwabara had figured she would be staying with his sister, and the rest of the girls, but it seemed her boss had arranged for her to stay in a private suite, while he would probably end up sleeping on a couch, listening to Yuusuke snore. Life was so unfair.
That night as he was playing cards with Yuusuke and losing pathetically he asked, "Hey, Yuusuke, how come our boss is a freakin' demi- god and we're stayin' in the same cruddy room sleepin' on couches, while Li's boss is a dirty businessman and she's in a freakin' suite?"
Yuusuke shook his head. That's just the way life is. Since when was it fair? He had learned it hardly ever was in the last tournament they had been in. The Makai Tournament had 5,673 rules and it still was not fair.
"Where are Hiei and Kurama anyways?" Yuusuke asked.
"I dunno, probably off training somewhere. They never tell anyone where they're going, gotta three?"
"Go fish."
Blackbird
"Where are they going?" Li watched two figures make their way across the dark hotel lawn. One was short with dark hair and the other taller with long red hair. They were Hiei and Kurama without a doubt. Kurama looked up and stared at her through the window. Not even the bulletproof glass of the window could do much to deter the harshness if Hiei's glare when he followed Kurama's gaze up to the window. The hanyou countered with her trademark innocent smile before closing the velvet curtains.
"I bet you ten gold pieces she follows us." Hiei placed the bet with his usual confidence and the smirk that came with it.
"What makes you so sure as to bet so much, Hiei?" They continued into the dark forest outside the hotel. Hiei answered.
"She was a spy. On duty or not, it is a spy's instinct to investigate suspicious behavior in enemies and especially as allies." A cloud passed over the pale moon, extinguishing the silver moonlight. The two advanced in opaque darkness.
"Ah, I see. Keep your enemies close and your friends closer."
"Exactly."
Li acting completely on instinct pushed the curtains apart and thrust open her window. After stepping out of the terri cotton bath robe (compliments of Makai hotel) she transformed into a small blackbird, figuring that shape shifting was the best way to get away with this. She couldn't risk Kurama catching her scent.
In a flutter of wings she departed to soar into the shadows of the forest on wings as dark as the night itself.
Ten gold pieces
"You owe me ten gold pieces Hiei, Li is nowhere near here." Kurama and Hiei had reached the shore at the edge of the forest. The moon's silver image glittered on the sea. The night was so beautifully quiet, save for the gentle sounds of the calming sea. Kurama had lead Hiei out here to talk for a while, or maybe just admire the starlit sea.
"You never agreed to the bet. Besides, how do you know she isn't here?" Kurama laughed slightly, in the last tournament their situation was constantly grim and hopeless, not to mention their moods darkened by Genkai's death, so laughing had been a rare pleasure. But now their position was not as hopeless; they had a relatively good chance and a new teammate with great potential.
"The wind blows from behind us. If she is following I would have caught her scent."
"Hn."
Hiei and Kurama discussed various subjects that night from memories to Kuwabara's training sessions. After all, a team is only as good as its weakest member. Still a rather depressing fact for team Urameshi. S little bird listened carefully to the conversation.
"Hiei, are short billed blackbirds native to this part of the Makai?"
"No there are no songbirds, just gulls."
"Then..." They had both caught sight of a small blackbird in a nearby branch. "Aha! That is no bird. That is a little spy who has just been caught. Now you owe me ten gold pieces."
'Crap!' thought the little creature that was not a bird.
Yay! Another chapter done, though I doubt anyone's reading it. Please review me!
