The Friends

By Youkiyra Solar alias Krystal Fox

Krystal Fox: Here's the next one, um Hiei.

Hiei: Yes , Yes I know. Krystal Fox does not own any of Yu Yu Hakusho.

Chapter 8 And the plot thickens

As Yuusuke, Kurama, Hiei, Gnekia and Kuwabara stepped off of the boat four figures went running for them.

"YUUSUKE URAMESHI!!! How dare you not tell me that you had to go to this tournament!!!!" Keiko yelled at Yuusuke and in the process brought her fist in contact with is face knocking him to the ground.

Yuusuke cringed as the mad Keiko stood over him. Yuusuke the great half demon that defeated Toguro and fought and destroyed countless demons was frightened of his girlfriend.

Slowly standing he said, "Sorry Keiko but we had to leave and I didn't get the chance to tell you because Kuwabara drug me out of my housee and down to the docks before I could, I really am sorry."

Keiko thought about this then smiled and hugged him. "I forgive you, but don't do it again."

A smaller figure with blue hair went walking over beside keiko and Kuwabara seeing this person smiled broadly and said, "Yukina it's so good to see you. I'm glad you're here. You can see me kick my opponents mutts and smash them to smithereens." He said showing off for her.

Hiei hid the snarl and Kurama noticed that his knuckles were turning white from grasping his hilt so hard. Kara and Lizette were walking by and Boton in her cheery little self couldn't help but not start a conversation with them.

"Hello, you must be that new teamof Jagenskisi it's a wonderful and beautiful day and No one is killing anyone today." She said changing the subject every word.

Hiei looked up at the last name for his was Jagenskisi too. (My are these two related?)

The taller figure answered softly, "Yes but it won't last for long. Tomorrow someone will die and then the next and the next. Blood will be shed."

Behind two of the figures of the strange team were arguing. One had a large stick in hand and the other had almost fox-like ears but they were narrower and taller. (They were arguing who would get the room with the best view in their hotel rooms)

"Won't you join us for the afternoon lunch ?"Boton asked incredulously trying to recover from the cold words this person just said.

"No we can't we have practicing to do."

(Though not meaning fighting practice but to stop her companions from arguing/fighting as they would the entire tournament.)

Kuwabara foolishly wanted to see the faces of these mysterious guests so he was creeping up behind the tallest one and pounced. The tall figure gracefully dodged and grabbed him by the top of his shoulders and tossed him towards his companions and he landed right on top of Kurama and Hiei.

"Next time you do that human Baka, realize that I have better hearing than you do and have a lot longer life than you to know that trick." Turning left with the four other who kept up with the long legs that she had.

"get off of me you baka!!!" Hiei growled underneath Kuwabara.

Kurama was motionless, inside he was trying to keep Youko from coming out. Youko had almost too much power to contain.

Once Kuwabara was up Shizuru noticed that Kurama wasn't waking up.

Yukina concerned went over and woke him using her healing powers. He sat up and no one questioned him by what just happened by the look on his face it told, "This is my secret you can't make me tell."

Thanking Yukina he stood and lead the way to the hotel. Hiei on the way to the hotel was dodging the human dunce that was trying to grab him from behind.

"Hey Hiei stop moving I need to practice tackling !" Kuwabara complained.

Hiei growled back, "If you can't catch a moving object then you can't catch anything." As they walked to the hotel and Hiei now free of the pouncing human thought, "What if I don't survive this tournament? Yukina will never know that I am her twin brother. Kurama and Yuusuke would never tell her. I know that before the end of this tournament I am resolved to tell her the truth."

With that he left the others to find a nice comfortable tree to stay in.

Krystal Fox: Well See you next time. Till next chapter
