Wolf: Well this is chapter 17.

Kari: You could sound more enthusiastic about it.

Wolf: No I can't, for starters I had the strangest dream last night.

Kari: Oh do tell.

Wolf: Well it was one of those dreams where you don't know what's going on. Anywho

how the heck I put this together in my head without getting confused I don't know. Ok

you know in the Yu-Gi-Oh show, the part where Kiba is dueling Pegasus and then he

loses and Pegasus does the card thing with him? Well the Yu Yu people and me are there,

well it's me at first and I'm a one of those temporary bodyguard people working for

Kiba. Well yada and so on, when he loses and I get all mad because he didn't have the

sense to pay me before his match and now I'm throwing a hissy fit calling Kiba all kinds

of names. Then the other guys show up and Kurama scares the shit out of me because he

whispers something in my ear, and I tell him he has no right to scare the shit out of me

just because he's the greatest thief of all time. For some odd reason the Evil Bakura takes

control of Ryou (however you spell it. And how do you say it?) and then they get into a

fight with shouts of "I'm the greatest thief!" and "No I am!" going back and forth. That

ends when I whack them both on the head. We go eat at this really big table (we as in

Yugi and them to) and then (this is the crazy part right here) the guys get into a fight

about who get to stay in my room to protect me since I was closely tied with Kiba. Then

Tea goes on about how why can't we can't all just be friends and the Hiei and I look at

each other and the WAM she's cut in four pieces. (yah!!!) Ok, then Yami who has taken

over Yugi (why I don't know) decides to have a contest and Bakura says that isn't fair

because he came up with it and it must be rigged. Then Kurama say that they can have a

spelling bee…

Kari: Wait, wait hold up. A spelling bee?

Wolf: Yah, but I'm going to be the one spelling. They say a word and then I have to spell

it. Well anyway they said some words can't remember the exact word but I think one

was Constantinople that Kurama asked me) then it gets around to Bakura and he says,

"Spell cat." Now you know I should have been able to spell this but since it was a weird

dream I spelled it kat.

Kari: Hold up was this chapter put in only to tell about your weird dream? And why the

cracker did you spell cat, kat?

Wolf: Can it! Anywho where was I? Oh yes, he gets up puts his hand around my waist

and whispers in my ear creepily, "We are going to have such a wonderful time." Then I

woke up.

Kari: Are you serious?

Wolf: 100% I swear on my mothers grave that I really had this dream!

Kari: That one was worse than the Nascar swimsuit dream. Darrel Waltrip in a swimsuit. *shudders*

Wolf: Yep aint that the truth, now on with the story and standard disclaimer applies cause no one is here to do it.

Kari: There's Pewe. Rock 'n' Roll Pewe!

Pewe: Shibby!!!

Wolf: So much for that.

Now to everyone's favorite nut case Tima!

"Uh Kinryou, why are we hiding behind a garbage can watching this nigen fix our tire?"

"Because baka, we're are snooping." She turned back and watched Jordan fix their flat

through really, really big binoculars.

"But why are we snooping?"

"Because! There is something not human about this guy."

"Girl."

"What!" Kinryou looked at the girl she thought was a boy. "That is a boy."

"No it's a girl and I'll prove it." He stepped out from behind the trash can and walked

toward the girl.

"Um, excuse me."

"Yes'r?"

"Are you a girl or a boy?"

"Neither, I'm really a undercover alien agent who will now have to kill you and use your

brain for research." Said the girl/boy grinning.

O_O "Really?"

"No, I'm a girl." Tima turned around and yelled to at Kinryou.

"Told ya so now get your fat butt out here!"

"I'm not fat! At least I don't think so." she looks at the reflection in the door then turns to

the now established girl. "You can't be a girl."

"And why can't I?"

"Because one, girls don't work in Auto Shops; two, girls don't tend to have visible

tattoos on their arms; and three girls don't tend to work on cars!"

"Um wouldn't number three fall under number one?"

"Tima! Don't correct me!"

"Ok Gary, what your saying is that this Shade guy, gets these fighters at this tournament

and then turns the winners into Nightmares." Said Yuske.

"To some extent Yuske. See he uses all the fighters fit to become nightmares the winners just get special weapons he has created. And these weapons are deadly."

"What are they?" asked Kuwabara.

"The Demonic Blade, which puts anyone under the owner of the blades mind control, and that person can not be released until the owner of the blade is killed or sets the person free. There is the Orb of Truth, that when activated makes everyone around it, with the exception of the owner tell the absolute truth."

"The Orb thingy doesn't sound all that powerful." muttered Kuwabara aimlessly.

"Ah it doesn't," questioned Gary. "Well let us say you are fighting the owner of the Orb and they ask you to tell them your weakness, what would you do?"

"Uh, not tell them, duh." Replied Kuwabara.

"What if you couldn't? So is the power of the Orb."

"Well the Orb thingy and that sword can't be the only ones out there can they?"

"No all together there are twelve item. Six for each year the tournament was fought. I only know of one other the rest remain a mystery. The Joskai (pronounced Joe-sak-e)  Heart, and the Sword of Tara though I know not what neither does."

"There are three others that I know of." Said Kurama with a glint in his eye. "I'll give you all a hint. The Forlorn Hope (or is it hoop?) was one of the three in Koenma's possession."
"So you mean that those items you, Hiei, and the big ugly guy stole were items won from this tournament?"

"Correct detective." Came Hiei's cold voice.

!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

When we left Tima and Kinryou  Tima was getting yelled at because he corrected

Kinryou, so now back to there!

"So what your saying is that your demons and you want me to came with you?"

"That's what Kinryou says, but I don't really care if you jump off a bridge."

"Why not. Not like I got anywhere else to go. I'll have to go back to the stables though."

"Why?"

"Got to get my horse. If I go he goes. By the way, the name's Jordan. Silver Jaguar

demon, keeper of wind."

"I told you she was a demon Tima. I'm always right."

"Not always."

"When have I been wrong?"

"Well, we could start with the snake and lizard raids, then move on to the Reaper Stone

hunt, next comes the Shadow Crystal chase we went on, need I say more or do you want me to continue?" grumbling

Kinryou turned and got in the drives side of their jeep.

"You coming or not?" she asked Jordan.

"Yes, but do you have a hitch on the back?"

"Naw duh Einstein. Now get in please, I'd like to get out of here 'fore those goody

goodies find us."

"Who."

"I'll fill you in on the way to the stables."

!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!@!

"Hello Hiei."

"Shut up fox."

"Aw, did Hiei get up on the wrong side of the tree this morning?" snickered Kari in a childlike voice.

"Here is some advice Light don't play coy with me. I know who you are and what you are. That should be a little toy hanging above your head." Kari and Gary both paled, Kari more.

"How do you know, and if you do where did you find out?" asked Gary quietly.

"Lets say I have many powers." He grinned evilly.

"Uh Hiei are you going to leave us out in the dark?" asked Yuske.

"Yes detective I believe I will, at least until I have reason to open the blinds." He replied coldly staring at Kari.

"You can't tell them if I tell them first." Spoke Kari, defiance in her voice.

"I have a feeling neither of you will." He glanced at both Gary and Kari.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Wolf: Sorry if you didn't want Jordan to be a Jaguar Demon, and for the cliffe! What is the secret Kari is hiding? And why did Hiei call her Light? Thanks for the idea Kinryou, (the one about the Yami thingy) it helped speed the story forward. Oh yah I still need entries for the tournament Nate and I ran out of ideas.

Kari: You done now?

Wolf: No, and I also need items to be won at the end of the tournament and five extras. Now I'm done.

Kari: We apologize for any inconvenience involving the length it took to update the

story.

Hiei: Baka ran out of ideas.

Wolf: NOT TRUE! I haven't had time. I've been really busy trying to keep my algebra

grade up where it's passing.

Kari: POLL!

Hiei & Wolf: What?

Kari: Wolf said we could have a poll, so the readers could help create the story.

Wolf: Oh yah! Ok the first item up for bid is

If Tima should be with someone. Your choices are…

Kathryn Kat (look in ch. 16 to find out who she is, one of Tima's old girlfriends)

Boton

Second should this be an Inuyasha crossover? (If the yes people win then there will be another team added to the Nightmare Tournament and one deducted)

Wolf: That's it!

Kari: Really that was pathetic!

Wolf: Do you have any other ones?

Shesshomaru: Why am I here?

Wolf: FLUFFY! *run and huggles Shesshomaru*

Kari: Who'd have thunked it? I thought she liked Kurama?

Wolf: I do. But Kurama isn't here is he?

Kurama: Who is he. *glares at Fluffy*

Kari: Since Wolf's busy I Kari thank you for reading this story and to my most loyal reviewers a special prize to each of you shall you get. *hands cat nip to Kitty and Thing and a Flame thrower to Doom. Kinryou gets a nice shiny and pointy sword and Shessa crazy(did I get the name right? No Internet here.) gets a saddle with silver roses on It.*

Wolf: Oh yah *turns around from Shesshomaru and Kurama* and can someone please get me a page or send me a picture of Toyou (the ice master person if I got the name wrong.) I aint got a clue what he looks like and I need to know fast 'kay? Wolf signing off.
