Ankoku Buutsukai Reunion

Chapter 1

One cool winter night, Yusuke was at his house playing video games. It had been a normal day for the Spirit Detective. He had gotten in a few fights, gotten yelled at by various teachers, and beat up Kuwabara for the upteenth time. Then, he sensed the aura of a demon and looked out the window in his bedroom. It seemed to be a demon messenger from the Makai. So he went to the front door and opened it. "Hey, who's out there?" he questioned.

A moment later, a neko (cat demon, for those who don't know) with long, metallic blue (the color, not actually metal) hair, silver eyes, a pair of brown cat ears and a matching tail with a white tip at the end, stuck her head around the corner of Yusuke's house. "Oh, hello. Are you Yusuke Urameshi?" she questioned.

Yusuke nodded, "Uh, yeah. Why?"

The neko replied, "Oh, good. Then I haven't come to the wrong place. Um, anyway, I have a sort of invitation for you. It's not a tournament or anything, just a little get together or whatever. Oh, by the way, my name's Kiaka."

Yusuke sighed, "Then just give me the invitation and get out of here. Don't have time to waste on you right now."

Kiaka blinked, then handed Yusuke his invitation thing and responded,"Geez. To the point, aren't you? Well, anyway, here's your invitation. I gotta go anyway. See ya!"

Yusuke took the invitation, watched the neko leave, then looked back at it, "Hmm...wonder what this is?" He opened the gold envelope it came in and read the invitation.

It stated: You, Yusuke Urameshi, and your four team members Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara, and Genkai, are all invited to the Ankoku Buutsukai Reunion. This is where all those who participate get together and have fun. At the reunion, there will be karaoke, refreshments, small fights (no powers involved in these; purely physical), and just general fun. The reunion will be held on Hanging Neck Island day after tomorrow, so if your team plans to attend please reserve your suite in the hotel there by tomorrow. Oh, and since your team won, you will get to be the first ones to choose which rooms are yours and the first to do the karaoke. Thanks! -New Ankoku Buutsukai Tournament Committee

P.S. Only the fighters of the teams can come, no cheerleaders or any of that nonsense.

Yusuke blinked and smiled, "Well, sounds like a fun thing to do. Much more fun than school, anyway. I guess I should go ask Kurama, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Genkai if they want to go. If not, then I'm not gonna bother going."

Yusuke stated, "Hmm. I can call Kurama since he lives in town. May as well do that now." He then walked into the kitchen, picked up the telephone, and dialed Kurama's phone number.

A moment later, Kurama's voice came on the other line, "Hello?"

"Hey, Kurama, it's me, Yusuke," Yusuke replied.

"Oh, hello Yusuke. Is something up?" Kurama asked.

"You bet. Not a case or anything, but there's a reunion for everybody who participated in the Dark Tournament last year. Interested?" Yusuke asked him excitedly.

Kurama smiled, then answered, "Yes, it sounds like a lot of fun. I will have to call Meiou, though and tell them that I will be absent for a few days." He then sighed.

Yusuke blinked, "Hey, Kurama. Everything OK?"

Kurama nodded, "I'm fine."

Yusuke answered, "Good. So, guess I'll see you later then so we can leave for Hanging Neck?"

Kurama replied, "Yes. I will see you later, Yusuke."

Yusuke confirmed, "That's great. See ya." With that, both boys hung up.

Yusuke smiled, "That was easy enough. It'll be easy to convince Kuwabara to go too....but I could be wrong. It says no cheerleaders and Yukina was only there as a cheerleader. Hmm...nah, I think he'll go. His pride won't let him turn it down. Hiei'll be harder to convince though. He's not really the social type. Hmm....how to convince him to go." Yusuke sat there for about 25 minutes, trying to figure out a way to get Hiei to go, but could think of nothing.

"Hey, maybe Kurama could help me," Yusuke stated, "he knows a lot about Hiei." Yusuke then dialed Kurama's number again.

A few moments later, Kurama's voice came on the other end, "Moushi moushi, Minamino Residence."

"Hey, Kurama, it's Yusuke again. I have a question for ya," Yusuke replied.

Kurama nodded, "All right, shoot."

Yusuke asked, "How can we convince Hiei to go? You know how he is about social stuff."

Kurama shrugged, "I'm not entirely sure. Hmm, maybe we could convince the committee to let Yukina go. She is his sister after all."

Yusuke blinked, "But...how do we keep the committee from asking her to confirm that she is his sister? You know they're gonna be strict about that, and Yukina doesn't even know she is his sister."

Kurama sighed, "I'll handle it, Yusuke. Don't you worry about that. You just worry about convincing Kuwabara and Genkai. I will figure out a way to convince Hiei to go."

Yusuke nodded, "All right, Kurama, but if Hiei doesn't show...."

Kurama finished, "I know. It will be my head, right?"

Yusuke smirked, "Yeah, face first in the pavement."

Kurama chuckled a bit then replied, "All right. Well, I'll see you later, Yusuke. I have to go help my mother with gardening."

Yusuke nodded, "All right, Kurama. Bye!" Both boys hung up.

Yusuke sighed, "Well, now that's being taken care of. Just Kuwabara and Genkai." Yusuke walked to Kuwabara's house, which was only a couple doors down. He then knocked on the front door.

Shizuru answered the door, "Oh, hey, Yusuke. I assume you didn't come for an idle chat."

Yusuke nodded, "No, Shizuru, I came to talk to your brother. He around?"

Kuwabara, having heard Yusuke, walked into the room, "Right here, Urameshi."

Yusuke greeted, "Hey, Kuwabara."

Shizuru looked between the boys and asked, "Guess I should let you two have a man-to-man talk, huh?"

Kuwabara nodded, "Yeah, sis."

Shizuru took the hint and walked out of the room.

Yusuke closed the front door behind him.

Kuwabara asked, "Why ya here, Urameshi? I assume it's not just an idle chat."

Yusuke shook his head, "No foolin' you, huh? Anyway, I got an invitation to a Dark Tournament Reunion thing. You wanna go?"

Kuwabara shuddered at the words 'Dark Tournament', "I don't know, Urameshi. All the demons that fought in it are gonna be there, right?"

Yusuke nodded, "Yeah, the ones that fought and lived. Why?"

Kuwabara replied, "Oh, no reason. I'm probably just paranoid."

Yusuke gave him a curious look, "Really? Nightmares or something?"

Kuwabara sighed, "Yeah, real bad nightmares. Almost like echoes of what happened during it last year."

Yusuke looked at the ground for a moment, then back up at Kuwabara, "Oh. Well, try not to worry about it too much. The Reunion's day after tomorrow. We need to leave tonight to get to Hanging Neck on time."

Kuwabara blinked, "Geez, that's short notice. When did you find out?"

Yusuke answered, "Just today. Obviously, there wasn't much warning. Anyway, you going or what?"

Kuwabara shrugged, "Might as well. Unless you got a better idea of somethin' to do."

Yusuke shook his head, "Nope, no better ideas here. Now all we have to do is get Genkai to go."

Kuwabara blinked, "Oh, she's going too?"

Yusuke bonked Kuwabara on the head, "Duh, idiot! She was on the team, ya know."

Kuwabara fell to the ground then sat up, rubbing his head, "All right, Urameshi, geez. You'd think I'd insulted your cat or something." Kuwabara then got to his feet and both boys walked to Genkai's temple silently. They arrived there about 20 minutes later.

"Hello, boys," Genkai greeted them at the steps.

Yusuke nodded, "Hey, Grandma. I need to talk to you for a sec."

Genkai blinked, "Really? About what?"

Yusuke answered, "Yes, really. About a Dark Tournament Reunion thing going on. You're invited and so are Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. Interested?"

Genkai shrugged, "Why not? Nothing else for me to do around here."

Yusuke smiled and answered, "Great. So, we have to leave tonight, cause it's day after tomorrow."

Genkai replied, "Awfully short notice. Anyway, I'll get my things and meet you all at the boat dock, all right?"

Yusuke nodded, "All right, Grandma, see ya at the boat dock."

With that, Yusuke ran back to his house and packed up a few sets of clothing for the Reunion. He knew he would most likely be there for a few days, probably as long as the Dark Tournament had lasted. Anyway, once his stuff was ready, he picked up his bag and headed out the door for the boat dock.

Kurama packed a large duffle bag of clothes, told his mom that he would be visiting a friend for about a week, then left his house and headed for the boat dock.

Hiei, who had agreed to go, despite his typically antisocial attitude, followed Kurama, as he had to go to his house to get some more bandages to cover his black dragon scar. The three met up in the park in the center of Yusuke's town.

"So, are we all ready to go?" Yusuke asked.

"Ready. Where is Kuwabara?" Kurama replied.

"He'll be here shortly. Probably feeding his cat or something," Yusuke answered.

A short while later, Kuwabara got there, "Sorry I'm late. Sis needed a few things from the store to feed Eikichi. Anyway, everyone here?"

"Where's the hag?" Hiei asked.

Kurama elbowed Hiei in the ribs, "That was rude." He then looked at Yusuke, "However, Hiei does ask a valid question. Where is she?"

Genkai walked up a few minutes later, "Right here. Everyone ready?"

Yusuke nodded, "You betcha."

Kurama nodded. Hiei also nodded.

Kuwabara answered, "Sure am, ma'am. Ready to go."

Genkai nodded, "Good."

Yusuke said, "All right, let's go have some fun!" With that, he broke out in a run for the boat dock.

Kurama followed Yusuke, managing to keep pace with him no problem.

Hiei followed Kurama, easily passing both of them due to his extreme speeds.

Kuwabara followed Kurama, but was not able to keep up the pace for long. He fell behind.

Genkai brought up the rear.

They arrived at the boat dock and got onto the boat without any problems. As they left home, each one of them looked back, wondering when they would ever see home again.

End of Chapter

A/N: Wow. I didn't expect the first chapter to be so long. Anyway, I'll list whose singing what in the Karaoke at the end of Chapter 2. I will take requests, but you must put them in a review, otherwise I won't know you want those songs, and make sure you list who you want to sing the song. Oh, and I'll probably jump between the Japanese and English for the Dark Tournament a lot, just a warning. Anyways, how was the first chapter? Please R/R. Thanks!
