Rules and Round one: Sae vs. Katsuro

The Urameshi team followed Botan to a cabin settled at the top of the hill. A bronze number 9 was on the door; Botan opened it and went inside. When everybody was inside Botan pointed to stairs that were leading upstairs and a door by the far off wall. "As I" Botan announced "Girls are upstairs, boys downstairs and boys if you DARE" her voice rose, emphasizing the word "come upstairs and bother us Koenma will hear about it." She sighed and glared at Yusuke and Kuwabara "That means you". She smiled now, her tone regular "Now lets get to that stadium" everybody except Botan sweatdropped.

She led them to yet another clearing, looming over was a large black stadium similar to the one from the dark tournament. They walked in, only to greet a roaring crowd of thousands of demons" A tiger demon stood in the middle, holding a microphone. She said in an extremely hap singsong tone similar to Botan's all contestants come to the ring please!" She winked and the crowd cheered, sixteen teams gathered in the fighting ring. "Well let's introduce our teams! We have Team Yatsura, Tamake, Kobayoshi, Amisato, Urimeshi, Jouen, Samounen, Omasta, Housho, Tosami, Midori, Hoshii, Gekko (AN: not as in the English word, this means moonlight) Seiya, and team Yoma!" "The rules are as follows 1. All participants must have spirit energy 2. At least one of the team members must be a girl..." loud boos heard from the crowd all the girls turned and growled, the crowd quieted down "And a surprise rule, 3. If one member of the team is killed between a match the team will continue on without the other the teams they fight will get one win due to the missing member."

She went on to explain the rules and the teams were dismissed, the sky was darkening, Yusuke and Kuwabara were moaning about being tiered so as soon as they reached the cabin they trudged off to the bed, Kurama went outside to catch up on some reading, Botan went to take a shower, Hiei went outside and Sae followed, she separated in the opposite direction, not saying anything. She found a tree and fell asleep quickly. Hiei, who happened to be walking by, stopped to look at her. She looks so cute and innocent when she sleeps he thought Ahhh wait what am I thinking Well I should wake her up either way. He shook her roughly and she snapped awake. Naturally, she glared but soon realized she had fallen asleep "Thanks she muttered, with that she walked toward the cabin.

Hiei sat down on the branch. Why do I feel this way? He asked himself She's just a baka onna I just don't know why I can't get her out of my head even if she is pretty He got up and stormed towards the cabin, tiptoeing when he got inside. It had gotten pretty late, everyone was asleep. His last thoughts were on Sae before he fell asleep. Dawn seemed to come instantly, light streamed through the window of Hiei's window; everyone except him was out of bed. Kurama shook him gently to wake him up but to no prevail. Kuwabara ran up to Hiei and shouted "HEY SHORTIE!" Hiei practically jumped out of bed and glared his only response was "Hn as he walked out of the room. Kurama looked at him and said "Better get ready Hiei we're going to the tournament in two hours. He looked at him and simply grabbed his sword; he had his clothes from the day previously on. "Well", Kurama said, smiling, "come have some breakfast Sae's cooked it" Hiei walked out of the room and Kurama handed a plate he had managed to save amidst Yusuke and Kuwabara gobbling down almost all the food on the table. He grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started eating slowly. She's a really good cook Sae who was sitting across the room watching him eat seemed to read his thoughts "I'm glad that you're enjoying it" she commented. Hiei said nothing.

Before they knew it they were standing before the stadium The tiger demon was back, she called to the roaring crowd "Welcome to the tournament, I'm your referee and commentator Yume! Introducing Team Urameshi and Team Tamake!" The crowd clapped for team Tamake, booed for Urameshi, just like the last tournament." Several demons could be heard yelling "Lets see some blood" "O-kay!" replied Yume "The first fight will be with Sae and Katsuro. Will both fighters please step forward?" Both she and a menacing looking demon stepped into the ring "Okay, ready 1 2 3 GO!"

I'll leave it there. I planned for this to be a longer chapter but due to internet time circumstances I decided that it would be better to update sooner tan later. I may not be on a lot this week. : (
