A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been busy with college.

Dark Tournament Reunion

Chapter 5

The next day, Yusuke woke up at dawn, feeling completely refreshed, but his wound still a little achy. He sat up, stretched, and then looked out the window to watch the sunrise. It looked especially beautiful here on Hanging Neck, for some reason.

A few minutes later, Kurama walked into the room, needing to ask Yusuke a question, "Good morning, Yusuke. Mind if I ask you a question?"

Yusuke turned to face him, "No, go ahead."

Kurama nodded, "Do you think there will be much singing today?"

Yusuke shrugged, "No telling. Depends on how many others want to sing. I heard that Bui is here from Chu just before we went to bed last night, and that he will probably ask Hiei to do a duet with him in the karaoke."

Kurama blinked, "Okay. A little strange, considering Hiei defeated him in the Dark Tournament. Oh well, Hiei most likely won't agree to it. You know how he is about interacting with those he defeated."

Yusuke nodded, smirking, "Yeah, he doesn't. Guess he'll just have to deal with it, huh?"

Kurama nodded, "Yes."

Hiei walked in the door, "Deal with what?"

Yusuke blinked and sweat dropped, "Hiei, I didn't see you there."

Kurama sighed and shook his head, "You're hopeless, Yusuke. You might have to deal with Bui, Hiei. I heard that he's here and will most likely ask you to do a duet with him in the karaoke."

Hiei smirked, "Why should I waste my time with that idiot? I defeated him."

Yusuke nodded, "That may be true, but if you don't, what if we get kicked out of the reunion. You'll have to deal with my wrath, because I came here for a break from everything."

Kurama spoke up, "You mean a break from Koenma and school."

Yusuke sweat dropped, "Maybe, but….let us go to the karaoke. The karaoke is probably starting soon. We don't want to be late to it."

Hiei smirked, being able to tell that Yusuke was just trying to change the subject, but then nodded and left for the room where the karaoke was.

Kurama and Yusuke soon followed him, but then Yusuke remembered Kuwabara.

Yusuke blinked, "Uh, Kurama, you seen Kuwabara today?"

Kurama shook his head then chuckled a little, saying, "He's probably still asleep."

Yusuke nodded, "Then go on to the karaoke, I'll be there in a little bit."

Kurama nodded back and went to the karaoke.

Yusuke woke up Kuwabara then followed Kurama to the karaoke once he was ready.

Kotoh smiled once everyone was there, "Now that we have everyone, we can get started. First up, from Team Masho, are Jin and Touya. They'll be singing I'll Sleep When I'm Dead."

Jin smiled and hovered up to the front of the room.

Touya quietly walked up to the front, a small smirk on his face.

Jin looked at Touya, "Ready, ice-man?" (A/N: A nickname I made up for Touya…tee he.)

Touya smirked at that then nodded, "Yes, quite ready."

Jin nodded and then started singing:

Seven days of saturday
Is all that I need
Touya: Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Jin: Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no

Touya: I won't lie to you
Jin: I'm never gonna cry to you
Both: I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week

Jin: Until I'm 6 feet under
Touya: Baby I don't need a bed
Both: Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Touya: Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive
Both: I'll sleep when I'm dead

Jin: So you're looking for some action
Touya: I got everything you need
Better keep your motor running
Jin: 'cause I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Touya: Got no time for catching z's
If they say that that ain't healthy
Jin: Well then living's a disease

Both: We're never going to die baby
Jin: Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve

Touya: Till I'm six feet under
I won't need a bed
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Touya: Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive
Both: I'll sleep when I'm dead

Jin: Sleep when I'm dead, Touya: sleep when I'm dead
Both: Gonna live while I'm alive,
Touya: I'll sleep when I'm dead
Jin: Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need

Touya: Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Jin: I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
Touya: But if they party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time

Jin: Until I'm six feet under
I don't need a bed
Touya: Gonna live while I'm alive
Both: I'll sleep when I'm dead
Touya: Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive
Both: I'll sleep when I'm dead

Jin: I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Touya: Gonna live while I'm alive
Jin: I'll sleep when I'm dead

Touya: Till I'm six feet under
And they lay my bones to rest
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive
Both: I'll sleep when I'm dead

Jin: Sleep when I'm dead, Touya: sleep when I'm dead
Jin: Gonna live while I'm alive, Both: sleep when I'm dead

There was numerous applause from the audience when they finished. Kurama smiled and nodded to the two Shinobi, indicating that he enjoyed it. Jin smiled back at Kurama and went over to him and his team, "Heyo there, Urameshi."

Yusuke smiled slightly, and nodded, "Hey, Jin. Is everything going okay?"

Jin nodded, smiling back, "Yah sure is. I think that Rinku and Chu are singing next."

Yusuke grinned, "That's gonna be somethin' to see."

Kurama nodded, having been listening.

Kotoh walked up to the front of the room and stated, "Next up, from Team Rokuyukai, we have Rinku and Chu singing Youth of the Nation." She then sat down.

Rinku and Chu both walked up from the back of the room.

Chu looked at Rinku, "Well, little mate, ya ready?"

Rinku nodded, "Yeah, I'm ready. Want me to start?"

Chu shrugged, "Don't matter to me, mate."

Rinku replied, "Okay, then. I'll start." He then broke into song.

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I'd have kissed my mama goodbye

Chu: I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Rinku: Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

Chu: But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Rinku: Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Chu: Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Rinku: Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

Chorus-Both:
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Chu: Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Rinku: Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proper
No respect for herself

Chu: She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Rinku: Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Chu: Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Rinku: Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

Chu: He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

Rinku: It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

Chu: You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

chorus-both

Rinku: Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

Chu: That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

Rinku: I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

Chu: There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

chorus-both

The audience clapped loudly for Chu and Rinku, though not as loud as they did for Jin and Touya.

Yusuke and Kurama both looked at Chu and Rinku, smiling.

Rinku smiled back at them, and went back to where he was sitting.

Chu walked over and sat at a table near Team Urameshi, "That was kinda fun, Urameshi."

Yusuke nodded, "I know."

A moment later, Kotoh stepped up and told everyone, "Okay, next we have Rinku from Team Rokuyukai and Jin from Team Masho singing Wild Child."

Jin and Rinku both got up and walked to the front of the room, smiling.

Jin said, "Hey, boy-o, want me to start?"
Rinku nodded and answered, "Yeah, I started the last song, so, if you would please."

Jin smiled and nodded back, "Sure, be happy to, me boy."

A moment later, Jin broke into song.

Ever close your eyes

Ever stop and listen

Ever feel alive

And you've nothing missing

Rinku: you don't need a reason

Let the day go on and on

Jin: Let the rain fall down

Everywhere around you

Rinku: let the day surround you

You don't need a reason

Jin: Let the rain go on and on

Rinku: What a day

Rinku: A wild child

Jin: Every summer sun

Rinku: what a day

Both: a wild child

Jin: What a day

Rinku: What a day to take to

There was much applause for the duo as they sat down. Kurama and Yusuke both applauded, Hiei gave an appreciative nod, along with a smirk, and Kuwabara gave a smile and clapped along with Yusuke and Kurama.

Rinku smiled, "Thanks, you guys. Kurama deserves the most praise though. He managed to keep singing despite…"

Kurama cut him off saying, "That'll do, Rinku. That'll do."

Yusuke yawned, tired from all the excitement, "Well, it's been a real blast, but I'm getting tired."

As if she had heard him, Kotoh walked up to the front of the room and said, "Well, that's all we've got time for today, but be prepared tomorrow for more wonderful songs by Team Masho and Rokuyukai." She then walked out of the room.

Yusuke nodded, "About time already. I was about to ask if we could just leave."

With that, Team Urameshi went back to their suite to prepare for the next fun-filled day of karaoke.

Yusuke went into his room, collapsed onto his bed, and fell asleep immediately.
Kurama went to his room, but wasn't able to fall asleep as quickly. He had too much on his mind.

Hiei went to his room, but then, as if sensing that something wasn't quite right, he went to Kurama's room, "There a problem with the bed, kitsune?" he asked Kurama, as he had found Kurama changing positions in the bed at least twice within the past few minutes he had come in.

Kurama answered, "I'm just thinking about tomorrow. What if Bui asks you to sing with him? What will you do?"

Hiei shrugged, "Why is it any business of yours?"

Kurama smirked then scowled slightly, "You're my friend. Of course it is my business, and that's not answering my question at all."

Hiei smirked then remarked coldly, "What I do is my business, Kurama. Don't put yourself somewhere you shouldn't be, in my business."

Kurama crossed his arms, infuriated at the Koorime, "Fine, but don't blame me if Bui cuts your head off."

Hiei looked into Kurama's eyes then stated, "You don't mean that."

Kurama shrugged, "Still, be careful tomorrow."

Hiei smirked, "Of course." He then raced out of Kurama's room and to his own and sat on the window sill and eventually fell asleep.

Kuwabara went to his room and fell asleep as soon as he got into bed.

Genkai went to her room, but didn't go to sleep. Like Kurama, she had a lot on her mind and just couldn't sleep.

End of Chapter 5------------------------------------------------

A/N: Well, let's hope Kurama and Genkai get a good night's sleep, despite all the stuff on their minds. Anyway, please read and review. I will try to update as soon as possible.
