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
Give into it now
Rinku: let the day surround you
You don't need a reason
Jin: Let the rain go on and on
Rinku: What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way
Jin: To make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
Rinku: A wild child
Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Jin: Every day you find
Everything's in kilter
Rinku: You don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Jin: Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Rinku: Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
Jin: You don't need a reason
Let it all go on and on
What a day
What a day to take to
Rinku: what a way
Jin: What a way
Rinku: to make it through
What a day
Rinku: What a day to take to
Both: a wild child
Jin: What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
Rinku: What a way
To make it through
Jin: What a day
What a day to take to
Both: A wild child
Jin: What a day
Rinku: What a day to take to
What a way
Jin: What a way
Rinku: To make it through
What a day
Jin: What a day to take to
Rinku: Da-da-da
Jin: Da-da-da-da-da-da
What a way
Rinku: What a way
Jin: To make it through
Rinku: Da-da-da
Jin: Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Rinku: Da-da-da-da-da-da
What a way
Jin: What a way
To make it through
Rinku: what a day
What a day to take to
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.
