Sorry it took so long for chapter 3 to come out. I had a bit of a writers block for about 2 months.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. I'm just borrowing them. So finally, here's chapter 3 of Inuyasha and the Dark Tournament. Enjoy!!! Please read and review.
Inn the present era, Yusuke was fighting another demon. When he finished, Koenma called Yusuke and the rest of the Spirit Gang to Spirit World. Yusuke asked why they were brought to Spirit World.
"Well, the committee has set up a date for the Dark Tournament. The date is November 16," said Koenma.
"Did you just say November 16?" asks Yusuke. Koenma nods. "Get them to change the date!"
"Why Yusuke?"
"'Cause that's my birthday! I'm not going to fight on my birthday!"
"Yusuke, the boat leaves on November 16. And the tournament starts a week after you arrive."
"I don't care. I just want to be left alone!"
"I'm sorry Yusuke. This committee are all demons, and they won't take no for an answer. They will kill you and everyone you care for."
"I know. Can't we kill them before they hurt anyone?"
Koenma shakes his head. He then says, "It can't be done. At least not now anyway. They have demons keeping a close eye on everyone. The moment you try to pull something, they'll give the word to the demons. And then Kayko, your mom, Yukina, Shizuru, and anyone else you hold dear to you, will surely die."
The group just stares at Koenma. Hiei had it in his mind to murder the committee the first chance he got. That was until he heard Koenma's statement. So Hiei just went for scowling instead.
"Yusuke, do you know where to find Inuyasha and the others?" asked Koenma.
"I don't know where to find Inuyasha, but I do know where Kagome lives. I guess you want me to relay the message, huh?"
Koenma nods. So Yusuke leaves to find Kagome and Inuyasha. While on the way to Kagome's house, Yusuke bumped into Kayko.
"Hi Yusuke," says Kayko. "Where are you going?"
"Hey Kayko, I'm heading towards Kagome's house."
"Who's Kagome?"
"A girl I met about a month ago."
"Oh. So I guess that's your new girlfriend."
"Wait a second! She's not my girlfriend! We're just friends!"
"Then why are you going to her house?"
"I'm going because the committee wants her and her friend to compete in the Dark Tournament!"
"What, another tournament? You aren't going to fight this time are you?"
"I don't have a choice. I, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama have to fight. The consequences are high if we choose not to fight."
"You almost died in the last tournament. I don't want you to fight. What are these consequences that are making you and the others fight?"
"The committee will kill everyone we care for. That includes you Kayko."
"I don't care! I don't want to lose you," cried Kayko.
Yusuke walks towards Kayko and pulls her into a hug. He then whispers in her ear, "I don't want to lose you either. I promise that I'll come back to you. No matter what."
"Yusuke you jerk," cries Kayko into his shoulder. Yusuke just stood there holding Kayko as the sun sets over the horizon.
Meanwhile in the Feudal Era, Sesshoumaru had finally regained consciousness. He and Inuyasha were fighting. Kagome had pulled out her bow and arrow, and aimed for Sesshoumaru's heart. She threatened to kill him if he didn't calm down. Sesshoumaru had let go of Inuyasha's neck, knowing Kagome can kill him if she desired.
Kagome explained everything to Sesshoumaru, never lowering her weapon. She felt that as soon as she lowered her weapon, he would attack. Miroku walked past Kagome and placed a freezing talisman on Sesshoumaru. So he couldn't attack the group when they least expected it.
"Why would I care about some Dark Tournament?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"Look Sesshoumaru, they're making us do this! I don't know about you, but I don't feel like losing my family and friends!" screamed Kagome. Sesshoumaru's thoughts went straight to Rin.
"And we still need two people on our team," said Inuyasha.
"Actually you don't," stated Sango. "Miroku and I are taking those spots. And the lecher can make sure that Sesshoumaru doesn't attack us. It'll be like a leash."
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at Sango and Miroku. Sesshoumaru started snarling at the mention of leash. So Miroku whispered an incantation, and the talisman shocked Sesshoumaru.
"Why you wretched monk!!" shouted Sesshoumaru.
"I suggest you watch what you do and say, or I'll just shock you," stated Miroku.
"With that out of the way, when did you and Sango decide this?" asked Inuyasha.
"We decided this yesterday. When you came back through the well, and you gave us the details," said Sango.
"Feh, well we need that toddler to tell us the date of the damn tournament," scowled Inuyasha.
"Well go find the toddler and ask him," said Miroku.
"The toddler's in Kagome's time. And the only way to speak to him is through that Yusuke kid," responded Inuyasha.
"Then let's go find Yusuke then!" said Kagome. She grabbed Inuyasha's hand and jumped through the well. When they reached Kagome's time, Inuyasha picked up Yusuke's scent immediately. He grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the well, and ran into Kagome's house.
"Well it took you long enough. Koenma gave me the date of the tournament. The boat will leave on November 16. And do you have two more fighters?" said Yusuke.
"Yes we have two more fighters. And we need Koenma to bring them her," said Kagome.
"Alright then, I'll go tell Koenma. He should have a spell or potion that will allow them to cross here freely until the tournament starts," exclaimed Botan with a smile on her face.
"Who are you?" asked Inuyasha.
"My name's Botan. I'm Yusuke's assistant, and I'm also the Grim Reaper."
"You're the Grim Reaper? I thought the Grim Reaper is supposed to be scary," said Kagome.
"That's what I thought when I first met her," said Yusuke. Botan slapped him across head for his little comment. "Hey what was that for?!"
"It was for that little comment you made. Now I'm going to see Koenma about that spell or potion. Wait here until I come back," said Botan. And with that Botan was off to Spirit World. About two hours later, Botan returned. She saw Inuyasha and Yusuke playing a fighting video game. Kagome was with her family.
"Sorry it took so long. I got what your friends need to cross over," said Botan. She handed Kagome two bottles. "Just give these bottles to your friends and tell them to drink it. It will allow them to cross from their time, and come here."
Kagome nodded and said, "Thanks Botan. Let's go Inuyasha, we have what we need."
"But I'm beating Yusuke. I'm not leaving until I beat him," whined Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I doubt you want me to say the s-word," Kagome said in a mean. Inuyasha noticeably flinched. "Then lets go." Inuyasha sighed and got up. But not before he turned off the game. Yusuke started yelling and balled up a fist to hit Inuyasha with, but voted against it.
Inuyasha and Kagome headed for the shrine house, and jumped through the well. Kagome gave a bottle to Sango and Miroku, and told them exactly what to do. They drunk the contents of the bottle and gave the bottles back to Kagome.
"Well did it work?" asked Shippo.
"I don't know. I guess we can jump in the well and see," said Sango. Miroku nodded. They both jumped through the well and landed in Kagome's time. "Well we know it worked."
"I guessed it worked," said Kagome. "Should we get going?"
"Yeah," responded Inuyasha. Shippo began to cry, so Kagome picked him up and told him not to worry. She sent him to Kaede's hut to stay until they came back. Shippo went to the hut, but not before wishing luck to them.
Inuyasha led Sesshoumaru to the well, and all three jumped through the well. They met Sango and Miroku at the top of the well. Sesshoumaru decided to stay in the shrine house; saying he can't stand to be around a lot of humans. The others left the shrine house. But Miroku put talismans on the well and shrine house, in case Sesshoumaru decided to escape.
Mrs. Higurashi led them all to where they were going to sleep. She said that Sango will sleep in Kagome's room; while the guys sleep in Sota's room.
In the middle of the night, Miroku snuck off towards Kagome's room. Unfortunately for him, the door was locked. And Inuyasha had followed him. He pounded on Miroku until he was knocked out, and dragged him back to Sota's room. So days went by until it was time to leave for the boat that will take them t the Dark Tournament.
