Sorry, his hair is red… I must have been dozing. Sorry about the prolonged update, computer has been damning everything. One bad hard drive, monthly formatting, writer's block… bah. N. DINNER WITH THE PYSCHOATIC TRIO

Well I start just broke

Of a line in your tasteless joke

What's up with that hutch you've stolen

Don't worry 'cause it's not broken, it's just swollen

Could anticipate

How you're feeling from day to day

Well about you now, that's your needing

Don't worry 'cause they're laughing, and you're bleeding

Well I'm drowning your ocean

It's much cooler in slow motion

Don't care where you've went

When it's obvious that you bore

I'm not worried 'cause it's five minutes to your glory

Leave it up to me and I will

Be the one here to see that you stand still

Everyone sees your eyes getting wider

The dinner that they had been invited to the next night was nearly undoing to the remaining group, considering the fact that most feared the Shadow Realms inhabitants. So they agreed to meet in public for this dinner, Koenma still unnerved as they walked through the nearly empty place behind the smiling hostess.

She opened the door as they entered the large room, marveling at the fact nothing jumped to kill them.

"Nice that you could make it, Lord Koenma." A female voice stated as they watched a woman with tri-colored hair stand up. Her dark violet eyes held amusement as he flinched. The other two looked extremely hostile as they sat down. "You'll have to pardon some of the other guests if they are not present at this time, considering much it takes a good bit of control to make sure no one will become a shell tonight."

"Thanks, Yugioh Motou." He stated as she laughed.

"Please, my husband is not influencing my mind. Yugi will due." She stated as they looked unsure. "Ah yes, that. Sitting before you tonight is six people… two souls to each body and two minds to each thought. Yami is not participating in my reason for this, but the other two didn't trust a meeting alone."

"This thing." Yusuke started as a few tried to silence him as he sat the Tauk in the middle of the table. "It's always true, isn't it?"

"Yes." The blonde at her left replied with a cringe.

"Everything I seen… happened?" he asked as she nodded.

"I would never fabricate anything, that would be taking a page from the damned book of the Moon Kingdom. No one but the creator of these Items can sway their power, and even then he refuses to." She replied as he nodded seriously. The white haired man choked. "Relax, Batty, in this case it's no insult."

"Maybe we should take this to a more private setting." The blonde stated as they found themselves in the large living area of the Motkurtar (Motou-Bakura-Ishtar) Mansion, the place that Kaiba put them to make sure they were together when needed (seeing they were never around).

A brown haired man with cold blue eyes joined the scene as the most of the group felt a shiver of fear.

"My name is Yugi Motou, the blonde is Marik Ishtar and the white haired man is Kourage Bakura. This man needs little in introduction, Seto Kaiba." She stated as they keep their eyes on each of the men.

"Formal meeting?" a voice asked as they seen a familiar teenage girl standing by a white haired girl.

"Get down here." Seto snapped as they did so. "And the third?"

"I'll kill you two for this." The… ahem… blonde growled as he entered with hair in bows and pigtails dyed cotton candy pink.

"Anubis, this isn't the time to be a cross dresser." Yume stated as he growled, the others shaking their heads.

Hiei barely dodged Angel Bakura's attack as she landed a kick to his back, watching him kiss the ground for once. He was impressed by her speed as the battle picked up again, those watching still in shock. Yume was talking in depth with Kurama and Yusuke as Anubis was glaring at Kuwabara, Botan sat on the sidelines as the three teenagers kept the warriors entertained.

Genkai had been brought in and was presently speaking with Yugi and Yami as the other four decided to lurk some place else. "Urameshi and his team have been forced into the Dark Tournament on Hanging-Neck Island." Genkai stated as Yugi sipped her tea, Yami's eyes narrowed.

Genkai seen this and knew that the Ancient Spirit was thinking about something.

"Five to each team, potential death…" Genkai stated as Yugi finally joined the conversation.

"If we get the other two in, the Shadow Games would be a great way to prepare them for everything." Yugi stated as Genkai nodded. "You are welcome to join, Genkai, to make sure they meet what you have been doing."

"Thank you, Yugi." The pink haired old woman stated.

"As far as their fifth, take one of the three of our own to fight and put the other two as back up." Yami stated as they stood up.

"Let us start then, Yugioh." She stated as both joined into one and agreed.

!!

Yume finished her sentence as her Ancient mother and Genkai entered. "An agreement has been reached and each of you will be trained in the other sides arts." Yugioh stated as Angel grinned from her position on Hiei's back, which was funny.

The usually serious Hiei with a white haired teen holding tight to him. Arms around his neck and legs around his waist as he paused to look at the old woman. "Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara will be learning from these three shadows and I will be teaching the three younger shadows." Genkai stated as they agreed. "Starting today."

In the next few hours odd things are seen:

Kuwabara being colored on with permanent markers while asleep.

Yusuke and Yume agreeing on an ambush on Kurama with ice cubes.

Angel and Hiei still sparring.

Anubis watching from the sidelines, sharing popcorn with Genkai.

Yugioh trying to kill Bakura.

Marik plotting in a dark corner with a grin.

The Dark Tournament will never be the same ever again.
