Hey guys I know it is not like me to update more than once a week or even two weeks but I am bored because I am home sick today. My headache finally went away so I am here with another chappie. Why did I chose this story you might ask. Well because I am lazy and I don't feel like getting my notebook for Courage in the Dark. I would have updated yesterday but I wasn't allowed on the computer because I hadn't gotten my chores done on Monday. It really was Labor Day for me! Anyway I like this chappie. And I will see if I can update a bunch more today. Oh and I am sorry if you are a Kuwabara fan but I have more trouble writing his lines than anyone else's. You never know what he is gonna do ya know?

Chapter 2 New Tournament

Jin, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama were standing in the same forested area that they had waited for the boat the year before. As before, a whole bunch of demons were there too, except this time they were afraid of the Urameshi team. Well most anyway....

Some demon with ears and a tail like a rabbits stepped in front of the rest. "I've heard of you!" he said in a deep voice. "And all about your cheating ways too! How is it that two humans with the help of a couple of weak demons were able to beat Tugoro?"

Kurama took out a rose and Hiei tightened his grip on his sword, but all Yusuke did was laugh. "Aren't you a little old for trick or treating?"

Kurama his smile behind a hand, Hiei hnned, and Jin threw back his head and laughed. "Ahh, that's a good one Urameshi!" he said slurring his words together as he always did. (I LOVE HIS ACCENT! Oh and forgive me for not giving Jin too many lines. I am a little brain dead right now lol!)

A lot of other demons were snickering. "Why you! The demon yelled and he lunged at Yusuke trying to sink his fangs into him.

Yusuke dodged pretty easily. "Since when did the Easter Bunny have fangs?"

The demon lunged again and this time Hiei held out his sword and cut off his head. "Hnn. Pitiful, he wouldn't have gotten past the first round IF he even made it that far."

The demons comrades were the first to attack them. "Yeah, go ahead!" Yusuke shouted "Attack us! You're going to die anyway! You won't make it to the first round! None of you stupid demons will!"

At this point, the rest of the demons attacked. Most went after Yusuke, but Kurama, Hiei, and Jin were a bit tied up too.

One demon had a noose around Kurama's neck and was trying to string him up. Hiei was cutting a path towards him, but more kept coming. Jin was producing gusts of wind to prevent the demons from climbing the trees to string the noose. Unfortunately, The demons were succeeding.

Yusuke wasn't having the best of luck either. He was surrounded by demons on all sides.

"Shot Gun!" he yelled focusing his spirit power to his fist.

A path way of apparitions' bodies about three feet wide was where he had pointed the blast. Some of the demons looked scared while others looked angry. The gap closed and demons once again filled Yusuke's vision. "Where did all of them come from?"

A masked figure was several feet from the clearing and the hoard of demons. Her eyes could see great distances and she could see that Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Jin were in trouble.

The fighter brandished two knives from the sleeves of her shirt. She grabbed them by the blades and threw them. One jabbed a demon in the eye, the other in ones back. Yusuke turned to see who had stuck the knife in the eye of the demon he had been punching and found no one.

Suddenly a burst of energy shot up in the clearing and a figure, masked, strode in. The figure pulled her knife from the back of a demon and stabbed another. She drew as sword that was at her side and started slashing her way towards Kurama.

'He's even better than Hiei' Yusuke thought as he stared. A demon taking a wack at his stomach brought him back to reality.

The fighter cut the rope from the tree and Kurama was free! (see I wouldn't have let you hanging would I. No pun intended)

Kurama rubbed his neck after he removed the rope. "thanks" he tried to say to the fighter but he was already killings a bunch more.

"Who is he?" Kurama muttered to himself. "Genkai can't do all that."

A few minutes later, all the demons had been destroyed and the whole team was in the middle of the clearing.

"So" Yusuke said. "You that fifth fighter Genkai said she'd send?"

The fighter nodded. "hnn" Hiei said "how do we know we can trust him?"

"We don't" Yusuke answered. "but we have to. We need a fifth fighter, he's here and-"

He was cut off by the fighter who said "so is the boat"
