Chapter 4

Recovery and Team Urameshi Duets

The next morning, Kuwabara woke up and went into Yusuke's room. He shook the Spirit Detective awake.

Yusuke moaned, but woke up, "What do ya want, Kuwabara?" He sat up slowly, so as not to dizzy himself. His wound was still there.

Kuwabara asked, "Could I use your briefcase thing to ask Koenma somethin'?"

Yusuke nodded, "Sure." He then winced, a new sensation of pain traveling down his back from the wound Karasu gave him.

Kuwabara replied, "Thanks. Where do you keep it?"

Yusuke responded, a hand on his back, "Oh, it's in the closet over there." He then pointed to a coat closet next to the door.

Kuwabara opened the closet, got Yusuke's briefcase thing out, and then went back to his room to talk to Koenma.

Meanwhile, Kurama stirred in his room, but didn't have strength to sit up.

Hiei had been awake for a while, and decided that he wanted to check on Kurama, as their team was scheduled to sing as a group in the Karaoke today.

Once he got to Kurama's room, Hiei walked in and asked him, "How do you feel, fox?"

Kurama turned his head slightly to look at Hiei, "Oh, hello, Hiei. I'm feeling better than I was yesterday, but I am not at my best."

Genkai walked in a moment later, her pinkish gray hair a bit messed up from bed head, and "So, maybe you shouldn't be in the Karaoke today, Kurama. We can't have you passing out in the middle of it like you almost did yesterday."

Kurama looked at Genkai, "I can handle it, Genkai. Besides, Yusuke is scheduled to sing with me, as is Hiei."

A moment later, Kuwabara walked in, "Hey, Kurama. How ya doing?"

Kurama shrugged, "As well as can be expected, considering yesterday." He then winced, his wounds still aching.

Genkai pulled some bandages from a backpack under Kurama's bed, "Here, let me bandage you up at least, Kurama. I may not have the strength to heal you, but I can at least get you bandaged."

Kurama nodded, "Much obliged, Master Genkai." He took off his bloodied shirt from the other day and set it on the table next to his bed.

Genkai replied, "No problem, Kurama." She then wiped excess blood from Kurama. She bandaged Kurama's torso, then put the extra bandages away.

She then turned to Kuwabara, "So, what did Koenma have to say?"

Kuwabara answered, "He said that the committee would be okay with it, and that he would make sure they were in person."

Kurama nodded, "The committee would be okay with...what?"
Genkai responded, "Yukina coming and healing you and Yusuke."

Hiei told Genkai, "She won't make it. She's dead, remember?" He said this with a bit more attitude than usual.

Kuwabara asked, "Oh, that's right. Well, what're we gonna do? We're scheduled to sing as a group. We can't have Urameshi and Kurama pass out in the middle of it."

Kurama sighed, "As I said, I can handle it."

Hiei smirked, "You nearly passed out yesterday in the middle of your song. How do we know the same won't happen today?"

Kurama looked at Hiei, "I won't, Hiei. I'm feeling a bit stronger."
Kuwabara added, "A bit, but is it enough to sing on?"

Kurama replied, "I think so."

Genkai told Kurama, "Well, don't overexert yourself, is all I have to say."

Kurama gave Genkai a slight smile and responded, "Don't worry. I won't. Kuwabara, would you grab me a clean shirt from that bag over there, please?"

Kuwabara nodded, "Sure." He went over to Kurama's duffle, took out a white T-shirt, then tossed it to Kurama.

Kurama caught it, and put it on, "Well, shall we go see Yusuke then?"

With that, Kuwabara and everyone else gave a nod. Kuwabara then helped Kurama to his feet and everyone went to Yusuke's room.

Yusuke told them, "Hey, guys. Last I checked, I didn't schedule a party in my room."

Kuwabara asked Yusuke, "Did you forget that we are supposed to sing duets and as a group today, Urameshi? Are you and Kurama even strong enough to...?"
Kurama cut Kuwabara off with a look, "I'm fine to sing in the Karaoke, Kuwabara. I believe that Yusuke is too?"
Yusuke nodded, "Yeah, I'm game to sing, but not fight. No way in heck could I fight anything right now. I can barely even stand."

Hiei smirked, "That's what you get for not watching your back, detective."

Yusuke gave Hiei a glare, "Who asked you, shorty?"

Hiei replied, "No one. I am just stating a fact."

Yusuke sighed, "Let's get this karaoke thing done so I can get back to bed."

Genkai gave a nod, "Need some help, Yusuke? I can be a support if you need it."

Yusuke nodded, "Yeah. Thanks, Grandma."

Genkai responded, "No problem, Yusuke." She then helped Yusuke to his feet.

"Well, no sense standing around; we've got a crowd waiting for us," Kurama told everyone.

The rest of the team gave a collective nod.

"Just one question," Hiei stated.

"What's that, Hiei?" Yusuke asked.

"Where will they have the Karaoke since the stage was destroyed?" Hiei inquired.

"I'm sure they've found another place, Hiei. Otherwise, they would have postponed it," Kurama answered.

Touya came running up the stairs and burst into Yusuke's room, "Sorry for disturbing you guys, but I just found out that they're going to have the karaoke in a spare guest room since the stage was destroyed."

Kurama nodded, "All right. Thank you, Touya. See you in a little bit."

Touya replied, "No problem." He then walked out of the room and went to where they were having the karaoke.

Yusuke asked, "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go."

With that, Team Urameshi left Yusuke's room and went to where they were having the karaoke.

The tournament committee sent a member forward who asked, "Team Urameshi, are you still up for the karaoke, considering what happened yesterday?"

Yusuke replied, "Yeah, we're still up for it."

The member nodded and said, "Very well. Now then, the first duet for you all is Yusuke Urameshi and Genkai. Good luck to you." With that, he sat down.

Genkai helped Yusuke up and they walked to the front of the room.

"Well, you sure you can handle it, Yusuke?" Genkai asked, concerned for her pupil.

Yusuke yawned, then answered, "Yeah, sure, no problem."

Genkai nodded, "All right, Yusuke. I'll introduce our song, then." She then turned to the audience, "Hello everyone. I hope you all had a good break. Anyway, Yusuke and I are going to sing the song Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne. It's sort of a memento to Toguro." Yusuke began the song.

He was a boy; she was a girl

Can I make it any more obvious?

Genkai: He was a punk; she did ballet

What more can I say?

Yusuke: He wanted her; she'd never tell

Genkai: Secretly, she wanted him as well

But all of their friends stuck up their nose

Both: And they had a problem with his pet clothes

Both: He was a skater boy

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her

She had a pretty face, but her head was off in space

She needed to come back down to earth

Yusuke: Five days from now

Genkai: She sits at home; feeding the baby she's all alone

She turns on TV; guess who she's sees

Yusuke: Skater boy rocking up MTV

Genkai: She calls up her friends; they all ready know

And they've all got tickets to see his show

She tags along and stands in the crowd; looks up at the man that she turned down

Both: He was a skater boy

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her

Yusuke: Now he's a superstar; she's living on his guitar

Does your pretty face reward his word?

Both: He was a skater boy

She said, "See ya later, boy."

He wasn't good enough for her

Yusuke: Now he's a superstar; she's living on his guitar

Genkai: For his pretty face, she wrote his word.

Yusuke: Sorry girl, but you missed out

Let's have a look at boys right now

Genkai: We are more than just good friends

And this is how the story ends.

Too bad that you couldn't see

See the man that boy could be

Yusuke: There is more than meets the eye

Genkai: I see the soul that is inside

Genkai: He's just a boy and I'm just a girl

Can I make it any more obvious?

We are in love; haven't you heard?

How we rock each other's world?

Genkai: I'm with the skater boy

I said, "See ya later, boy. I'll be backstage after the show. I'll be at our studio, singing the song we wrote, about a girl he used to know."

I'm with the skater boy

I said, "See ya later, boy. I'll be backstage after the show. I'll be at our studio, singing the song we wrote, about a girl he used to know."

After the duo finished their song, Genkai helped Yusuke back to his seat and the room erupted with applause.

A moment later, Juri stepped forward, "Okay, nice job, Yusuke and Genkai. Anyway, our next singers from Team Urameshi are Yusuke Urameshi and Kurama. You two sure you're strong enough to stand up here on your own?"

Kurama blanched at Juri, "I'm fine. I'll manage." He then shakily stood, with Kuwabara's help, and walked to the front of the room.

After Kurama was there, he nodded to Kuwabara to indicate to him that he didn't need his help anymore; or so he thought.

So, Kuwabara sat down at a table that had been set up near the front of the room, should Kurama need him again.

A moment later, Genkai walked up with Yusuke leaning on her shoulders, "You sure you're strong enough, Yusuke? You were leaning on me for most of the last song."

Yusuke blanched, "Look, even if I have to use every last ounce of Spirit Energy I have, I will sing in this thing."

Genkai blinked and replied, "All right. Well, I'm going to sit with Kuwabara, should you need anything."

Once Yusuke was standing next to Kurama, Genkai took a seat next to Kuwabara and watched Yusuke.

Yusuke almost instantly felt like he would fall over, but he used his Spirit Energy as a rebunnel and used it to keep him standing, "So, Kurama, you ready?"

Kurama, able to sense that Yusuke was burning a lot of Spirit Energy just to stand, nodded, also using a little of his own Spirit Energy to keep himself standing, "Yes, I'm ready, Yusuke."

With that, Yusuke gave a nod and turned to the audience, "I'm sure you're all surprised that we're still standing, considering yesterday. Anyway, we're gonna go ahead and sing while we still have Spirit Energy. We will sing the song Friends are Friends Forever by Michael W. Smith." With this, Kurama began to sing.

Packing up the dreams God planted

In the fertile soil of you

Yusuke: I can't believe the hopes he's granted

Means a chapter in your life is too

Kurama: But we'll keep you close as always,

It won't even seem you've gone

Cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus

Both: And friends are friends forever

If the Lord's the lord of them

And a friend will not say never

Cause the welcome will not end

Though it's hard to let you go

In the father's hand we know

That a lifetime's not too long

To live as friends

Yusuke: And with the faith and love God's given

Springing from the hope we know

We will pray the joy you'll live in

Kurama: Is the strength that now you show

Yusuke: But we'll keep you close as always,

It won't even seem you've gone

Cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus 2x- Both

Kurama: To live as friends

Yusuke: To live as friends

Kurama: Though it's hard to let you go

In the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long

Yusuke: No, a lifetime's not too long

To live as friends

Once the song was finished, there was a roar of applause and Kurama and Yusuke both swayed, their Spirit Energy nearly spent and their legs starting to give way.

Thankfully, Kuwabara and Genkai got to them before they fell and supported them.

"Nice job, Urameshi. You too, Kurama," Kuwabara commented.

Yusuke smiled, "Thanks, Kuwabara." He was then walked back to his seat with Genkai supporting him.

Kuwabara took Kurama back to his seat and set him down. He then took his seat.

A minute later, Kotoh (A/n: I...think that's how you spell it....?) walked up and told Yusuke, "You're not quite finished, Yusuke, so don't get comfortable. Next, we have you singing with Hiei."

Yusuke sighed in annoyance, then yawned, "Man, I'm exhausted. Don't I even get a little break?"

Kotoh smiled at Yusuke and replied, "On a lighter note, Yusuke, this is your next to last one. After this, just the one with Kuwabara then you're done."

Yusuke let out a sigh of relief, "Well, that's good. Anyway, ready, Hiei?"
Hiei nodded, "Ready when you are, Detective. I shall be your support on-stage if you need it."

Yusuke blinked, "Wow, thanks Hiei. Wasn't expecting that."

Hiei shrugged, "It's the least I can do. No one deserves to die by Karasu's hand. You and Kurama least of all."

Yusuke gave a nod, then he and Hiei walked to the front of the room, Hiei acting as a sort-of support for Yusuke. (A/N: There is a BIT of a height difference. XD)

Once they got up there, Kotoh sat down to listen to them sing.

Yusuke looked at Hiei, "You sure you don't mind doing this, Hiei?"

Hiei nodded, "Quite sure. And be happy with it, otherwise, I'll let you fall."

Yusuke sweatdropped, "Okay. Anyway, I'm gonna announce us." With that and a little help from Hiei, he took a step forward and told the audience, "All right, Hiei and I are gonna sing It's My Life by Bon Jovi." He then began to sing:

This is a song for the broken-hearted

A silent wail for the faith departed

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

Chorus-Both Hiei and Yusuke:

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just wanna live without the lies

It's my life

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said, I did it my way

I just wanna live without the lie

It's my life

Hiei: This is for the ones who stood their ground

For Tommy and Jean who never back down

Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

Looking in and look you gotta pick your own breaks

Chorus- Both

(Musical intermission)- neither

Hiei: They stand taller when they're knocking you down

Yusuke: Don't take no break; just don't back down

Hiei: It's my life

It's now or never

Yusuke: Cause I ain't gonna live forever

I just wanna live without the lie

Hiei: It's my life

Yusuke: My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said, I did it my way

I just wanna live without the lie

Hiei: It's my life

Yusuke: Yeah, it's now or never

Hiei: I ain't gonna live forever

I just wanna live without the lie

Yusuke: It's my life

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said, I did it my way

Hiei: I just wanna live without the lie

Yusuke: It's my life

Once they finished, applause erupted and Yusuke and Hiei both nodded. Yusuke swayed a bit, but Hiei kept him from falling, "You still have one more to do, Yusuke. However, Kuwabara is singing with you, so he will be able to hold you up."

Yusuke nodded, "Great, thanks Hiei."

With that, Hiei walked back to the rest of the team, with Yusuke leaning heavily on one of his shoulders.

Kotoh then got up, "okay, folks. Our next duet, and the last one that Yusuke will be singing, is with Kuwabara. You two coming?"

Kuwabara took Yusuke from Hiei and put an arm underneath Yusuke's shoulders, "Hey, be patient missy. Urameshi got hurt bad yesterday, ya know." He then put one of Yusuke's arms around his shoulders.

Kotoh shifted uncomfortably, "Oh, right. Well, take your time then. No rush."

Once Kotoh was finished talking, Kuwabara started walking to the front of the room.

Once he got there, he turned to Yusuke, "You sure about this, Urameshi? You look like you're about to pass out."

Yusuke smirked, "I'll be fine. You just announce us."

Kotoh took a seat to listen to them.

Kuwabara then said, "Urameshi and I are gonna sing Another One Bites the Dust. It's appropriate I think, considering how we won last year and had to beat so many demons. They really bit the dust. Anyway, here we go." With that, he looked at Yusuke and nodded, as he had planned for Yusuke. Yusuke nodded and started to sing:

Ooh, let's go
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Kuwabara: Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Yusuke: Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat
Kuwabara: Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat - yeah

Chorus-Both:

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Yusuke: How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Kuwabara: Are you happy ? Are you satisfied ?
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out

Chorus- Both

Yusuke: Hey
Kuwabara: Oh take it
Bites the dust - bite the dust hey
Yusuke: Hey
Kuwabara: Another one bites the dust
Yusuke: Another one bites the dust, ow
Kuwabara: Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Yusuke: Another one bites the dust, heeey
Both: Ooh show down

Kuwabara: There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground

Yusuke: You can beat him
Kuwabara: You can cheat him
Both: You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down, yeah
Yusuke: But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Kuwabara: Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Oh yeah

Yusuke: Another one bites the dust
Kuwabara: Another one bites the dust
Both: And another one gone and another one gone
Yusuke: Another one bites the dust, yeah
Kuwabara: Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Yusuke: Another one bites the dust
Kuwabara: Shoot out
Yusuke: Hey, alright

With that, the two were finished and Yusuke nearly passed out. Kuwabara kept Yusuke awake by tapping him on the arm, "Hey, no sleepin' yet, Urameshi. At least wait till not everyone's lookin' at you."

Yusuke nodded, then gave a light yawn, "Right, Kuwabara. Thanks."

With that, the two walked back to the table, Kuwabara supporting Yusuke the whole way.

Kotoh nodded, "Nicely done boys. Anyway, next Kurama and Hiei will be singing. Would you two please come forward?"

Kurama sighed, "Well, Hiei, shall we?"

Hiei shrugged, "If you feel up to it."

Kurama smirked, "I'm up to it. Let's go."

Then, once Kuwabara set Yusuke in a chair, he helped Kurama to his feet and to the front of the room.

Hiei gave Kuwabara a nod, indicating that he would be Kurama's crutch.

Kuwabara nodded back and walked back to the rest of the team.

Hiei smirked, "So you do you want to tell them what we are to sing or should I?"

Kurama shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I will." He then stepped forward and cleared his throat, "Excuse me please. Thank you. Hiei and I will be singing Flash of the Blade by Iron Maiden." He turned to Hiei and nodded, indicating that he was ready for Hiei to start. So, Hiei broke into song:

Hiei: As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty,
You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast.
Kurama: Times change very quickly,
and you had to grow up early,
Hiei: A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet.

CHORUS- Both
You'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade,
In a corner forgotten by no one.
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel
One man, and his honor.

Kurama: The smell of resined leather
Hiei: The steely iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call.
Kurama: He taught you all he knew
Hiei: To fear no mortal man
and now you'll wreak your vengeance in the
Kurama: Screams of evil men.

Once they were finished, the room erupted in applause and yells. Kurama closed his eyes, his sensitive ears bothered by all the noise.

Hiei growled, "Shut up!"

The room grew instantly silent.

Hiei smirked, "Guess they know better than to anger me, hey, Kurama?"

Kurama nodded, "I think so yes. Well, anyway, let's go and join our teammates shall we?"

So, Hiei helped Kurama back to the table that Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Genkai were sitting at.

Juri stood up, "Very good job, guys! You should consider singing as a profession."

Kurama smirked, "Thank you. Anyway, get on with it."

Juri blinked, "Oh right. Uhm, next we have Kurama singing again, this time with Genkai."

Kurama sighed, "All right." He got to his feet again, with Kuwabara's help, then walked to the front.

Once they were at the front of the room, Genkai acted as a crutch for Kurama and Kuwabara went back to his seat.

Genkai looked at Kurama, "I'm not surprised you have another one. You have many fans, so it would seem."

Kurama nodded, "Indeed, Genkai. Anyway, shall I announce us or will you?"

Genkai shook her head, "I'll announce us. Save what little strength you have to stand there."

Kurama gave Genkai a nod.

Genkai then cleared her throat, "Now then, Kurama and I will be singing the song called Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks. It's kind of a memento to friends that we've both lost." With that she started to sing:

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend

We've known each other since we were 9 or 10

Kurama: Together we've climbed hills and trees

Learned of love and ABC's

Skinned our hearts and our knees

Kurama: Goodbye my friend

It's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Genkai: Pretty girls are everywhere

Think of me and I'll be there

Chorus- Both:

We had joy

We had fun

We had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed

Were just seasons out of time

Kurama: Goodbye, papa please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

Genkai: You tried to teach me right from wrong

Too much wine and too much song

Wonder how I got along

Genkai: Goodbye papa

It's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Little children everywhere

When you see them, I'll be there

Chorus 2x- Both

Genkai: Goodbye Michelle, my little one

You gave me love and helped me find the sun

Kurama: Every time that I was down

You would always come around and get my feet back on the ground

Kurama: Goodbye Michelle

It's hard to die

Genkai: When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Kurama: With the flowers everywhere, I wish that we could both be there

Genkai: We had joy

We had fun

Kurama: We had seasons in the sun

But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach

Kurama: We had joy

We had fun

Genkai: We had seasons in the sun

But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach

Genkai: We had joy

We had fun

Kurama: But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

After that, there was light applause, and Genkai and Kurama walked back to their teammates.

Yusuke had fallen asleep.

Kuwabara shrugged, "Sorry, ma'am. Couldn't keep him up."

Genkai returned the shrug, "Don't worry about it, Kuwabara, he's hurt; he needs his rest," she then turned to Kurama, "you did admirably. You look very exhausted though."

Kurama gave a slight yawn, then replied, "I can do one more song. That's it though."

Kotoh then walked up to the front, "Ok, Kurama, you have one more to sing, then you're finished. You have to sing one with Kuwabara now."

Kurama sighed, but nodded.

Kuwabara helped Kurama to his feet, provided support, and walked to the front with Kurama.

Kotoh then promptly sat down to listen to these two sing.

Kurama turned to Kuwabara, "Thank you for your help."

Kuwabara nodded, "No problem. Ummm...what was it we were gonna sing again?"

Kurama sighed, "Don't worry about it, Kuwabara. I'll announce us."

Kuwabara blinked, "You sure you wanna do that?"

Kurama nodded, "Yes." He then stepped forward, "Kuwabara and I shall be singing Wonderful World. He wants to sing it as a memento for his lost lover."

Kuwabara smiled, "Thanks, Kurama."

Kurama smiled back, "No problem."

Kuwabara then broke into song:

Don't know much about history,
don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
Kurama: what a wonderful world this would be.

Kuwabara: Don't know much about geography,
don't know much trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra,
don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I know that one and one is two,
and if this one could be with you,
Kurama: what a wonderful world this would be.

Kuwabara: I don't claim to be an 'A' student,
but I'm tryin' to be.
Kurama: For maybe by being an 'A'-student, baby,
Kuwabara: I can win your love for me.

Kuwabara: Don't know much about history,
don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
Kurama: what a wonderful world this would be.

There was then a light applause and Kurama and Kuwabara went and sat down with their team.

Kotoh stood up, smiling, "Once again, Team Urameshi proves that they are made of not only muscle, but also nice voices. Anyway, last but not least, we have Hiei and Genkai singing. This should be good."

With that, Kotoh sat down, to let Genkai and Hiei come up to sing.

Hiei and Genkai both stood.

They then walked to the front.

Genkai turned to Hiei, "So, I suppose you want me to announce us."

Hiei smirked, "What do you think, hag?"

Genkai sighed, "I don't have time for your attitude, but you want me to announce." She then turned to the audience, "Hiei and I will sing the song called Inner Strength by Hillary Duff. It will prove that just because we may look tiny and puny, we do have strength in us."

The audience gave a light laugh at this, knowing that they had proven their strength numerous times.

Genkai smirked back at them, then turned to Hiei and nodded, indicating that she was ready.

Hiei nodded back, then broke into song:

Gotta find your inner strength
If you can't then just throw life away
Gotta learn to rely on you

Genkai: Beauty, strength, and wisdom, too
You're beautiful inside and out
Hiei: Lead a great life without a doubt
Genkai: Don't need a man to make things fair
'Cuz more than likely he won't be there
Listen girl, gotta know it's true
Both: In the end all you've got is you

Once the song was finished, there was a roar of applause, mostly for Hiei.

Hiei smirked, but said nothing.

Hiei and Genkai started for their seats, but then Kotoh stood in their way, "Where do you two think you're going? Your whole team has to sing together now since you're finished with your duets."

Genkai sighed, but nodded and turned to Kuwabara, "Get Kurama and Yusuke up here, Kuwabara. You too, Hiei."

There was a nod from the two.

Hiei managed to wake Yusuke and helped him to the front.

Kuwabara took Kurama and walked to the front.

Hiei and Kuwabara stood on opposite sides of the stage, each supporting a wounded team member.

Now that all of Team Urameshi was up front, Kotoh nodded to them and sat back down.

Yusuke looked at his teammates, "So, got any ideas for what to sing?"

Kurama nodded, "I know a good one. It's called Smile Bomb. I kind of like it, actually. Nice one."

Yusuke nodded, "I'm game for it. How about you guys?"

Hiei, Genkai, and Kuwabara all gave a nod.

Yusuke replied, "Great, then I'll announce us, since I am the captain." He turned to the audience, "okay, first off we're singing a song called Smile Bomb."

With that he turned to Kurama and nodded.

Kurama gave a nod back and began to sing:

Running in a crowd

In a faceless town

I need to feel the touch of a friend

Yusuke: In the countryside I wander far and wide

The isolation gets me again

Hiei: I don't know where to go

When I feel like crying, oh my

It's time to open myself; do something new

Yusuke: I wanna stop-- and grow up a bit

Kuwabara: Then suddenly my power and confidence start swelling up

Magically erupt

And it's all because of kindness that I feel

From people I don't even know

Genkai: Then suddenly my intuition and wisdom grow

And then I know

That most of all I sense compassions wield

Into strangers wherever I go

All: Thank you for waking me up!

There was a loud roar of applause.

Team Urameshi gave a collective nod.

Yusuke then turned back to his teammates, "So, what're we singing next?"

Hiei replied, "To close it out, let's sing We Are the Champions. After all, we were the champions of the Dark Tournament."

Yusuke nodded, "Very appropriate, Hiei. Thanks."

With that, he turned to the audience, "Well, it's been decided. Our last song will be the song We Are the Champions by Queen. Hope you all enjoyed everything, cause I'm certainly ready to be finished." He then broke into song:

I've paid my dues
Time after time
Kurama: I've done my sentence
Kuwabara: But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Hiei: Kicked in my face
Genkai: But I've come through

Yusuke: And we mean to go on and on and on and on

All: We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

Kurama: I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
Hiei: You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it

Yusuke: I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

Hiei: And we mean to go on and on and on and on

All: We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

Yusuke: We are the champions - my friends
Kuwabara: And we'll keep on fighting
Hiei: Till the end
Kurama: We are the champions

Genkai: We are the champions
All: No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

The room erupted with applause once Team Urameshi finished their song.

Touya grinned appreciatively at Team Urameshi.

Yusuke sighed and yawned, "Well, at least that's done with. I'm...tired. Can we go now?"

Kurama smiled, "I think so. The audience seems to be satisfied."

With that, Team Urameshi walked back to their suite.

Kurama was taken to his room by Kuwabara.

Kuwabara sighed, "Man, I really wish Yukina was still alive. She could help you guys."

Kurama smiled, "Botan's a healer, but...she's probably busy as the Grim Reaper."

Kuwabara shrugged, "Well, maybe Koenma will understand and let her take a break from it for a while to heal you and Urameshi."

Hiei walked in a second later, "I doubt it."

Yusuke looked at Hiei, "How's Kurama?"

Hiei sighed, "He's unconscious. He apparently overexerted himself during that karaoke. Once I laid him in the bed, he fell asleep. We warned him. I think that had the Karaoke gone on longer, Kurama would have passed out in the middle of a song."

Kuwabara sweatdropped, "Well, thank goodness it didn't, right?"

Hiei gave a nod then leaned against the wall.

Yusuke yawned, "Well, guys. You'd better rest up. More karaoke tomorrow, remember?"

Kuwabara blinked, "Oh yeah, forgot about that. See ya later, Urameshi." With that, Kuwabara went back to his room and went to sleep.

Hiei sighed, "Yusuke, if Touya comes by looking for me or Kurama, come wake me." He then yawned, "I'll be in my room."

With that, Hiei walked out of Yusuke's room, went to his own room, and went to sleep on the couch in his room. ((A/N: Aw...Hiei must've been really sleepy. - Sleeping Hiei's cute, neh?))

Yusuke sighed a deep, peaceful sigh and fell asleep.
