Ch 3: Final Preparations for the Tournament of a Life Time.

Recap

"You said there were 5 pieces. Where's the 5th one?"

"We are unsure of its whereabouts at this moment."

There was a long pause, then a gasp.

"I know where it is!" Kurama said.

"It's safe, I assure you. I will retrieve it but not until we get the other pieces out of evil hands." Kurama informed them.

"Very well. I trust your judgment Kurama. I must leave now." Koenma said as he left.

"Well that was interesting." Yasuo said. "So what are these new powers?"

Nami and Yasuo were in Nami's bedroom. Nami was sitting next to Yasuo with her head on his chest.

"Yasuo?"

"Hmmmmm?"

"What if we can't do it?"

"Do what?"

"Get the pieces back. What if one of us gets killed?"

Yasuo put his finger to her lips.

"Don't talk like that. "He said sweetly. "Everything will be fine. You'll see."

Nami smiled. "I hope so."

"I won't let anything happen to either of us." He said as he lowered his head and tenderly met her lips with his in a passionate kiss.

"You promise?"

"I promise."

The training intensified. They had new powers to master and they had only 2 months to do it in. They also had their studies to worry about. Being a teenage demon was hard. They no longer had time for dates, TV, computer, or the phone. They spent their time studding, training and sleeping. Training was usually fun, but having to do something really takes the fun out of it. The one thing they all still enjoyed was their weekly dinner at Kurama's. it was the one time they could unwind, relax, and get to know their house guest a little better.

"So Kara, Yuki, how do you like it here?"

"Love it!"

"MALLS!" Kara yelled. "Uh, sorry. I'm a bit hyper."

They all laughed.

"You may like it, but my wallet doesn't." Jin stated.

"Oh come on dad. It's not that bad."

"You think you got problems. Try having two teenagers!" Yusuke said

"Yes. It does seem like it's a bit more hectic." Touya agreed.

"It's partially your fault." Haku said. "You are the ones training us all the time so we ruin our clothes. It's not like we can run around naked all the time."

The girls giggled at the thought of their guys running around in the buff.

"What's so funny?" Taro asked.

"Nothing!" they said in unison before breaking out in uncontrollable laughter.

"Wow! Can anyone say mood swings?" Yasuo said.

A pillow flew at his head but he dodged and it hit Kane.

"Hey!" Kane said throwing the pillow and hitting Yasuo.

"Why'd you hit me?" Yasuo asked.

"Because you ducked."

Suddenly, Haku and Taro got hit with pillows too. The girls were laughing. They started a pillow fight.

"Awww look. They're flirting!" Yusuke said.

All the dads laughed, before getting bombarded with pillows. This went on until they were all exhausted.

"Why don't you all stay here tonight?" Kurama offered. "No need for useless travel. We'll all be back here in the morning anyway."

"That's right, we only have one month of training left." Kuwabara pointed out.

"Hey! Doofus boy can do math!" Yusuke laughed.

"Shut it Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled.

"SHHHH!" Keiko scolded. "The kids are sleeping."

"Can we trust them down here by themselves?" Yukina asked.

"I'll stay down here." Rinku said.

"Thanks Rinku." Kanu said getting up. "Let's go Hiei. We can go home. We're only next door."

"Hn. Whatever."

"We'll have the house to our selves."

Hiei got up immediately after hearing this.

"Bye guys!" Kanu said walking out the door.

The last month was spent perfecting defense and finding new ways to use their new powers. Koenma called them for one more meeting before they were to leave.

"From now until the end of the tournament, Nami and Yasuo are part of Team Chikara. You were adopted by Chuu when your real parents died. In other words, to everyone on the outside, you are siblings, so no kissing in public, understood?"

They nodded.

"Good. I have made arrangements for you to meat with the woman that has the fourth piece of the artifact. She has agreed to work with us and will be staying in the hotel room next to you with her team. She will give you more info when you get there."

They boarded the boat and all got some much needed rest. Taro was uneasy so he went to see his sister. She was with Yasuo.

"Sis, can I talk to you alone?"

She nodded and Yasuo left the room.

"Is everything alright with you? I'm getting this bad vibe."

"I feel it too. I'm not gonna tell Yasuo though. He'll freak out."

"Just be careful. I don't like this feeling."

I will. You watch out too."

A/N: ok next ch I will get into the fighting… I promise… and you get to see a couple cool new powers ….. Well, anyway, let me know what you think. R&R!!!
