"So let me get this straight...the tournament of Elements is real, and as nasty as legend says. And the toddler wants us, to fight in it? Is he crazy when did we ever show signs of being suicidal!"

"Yea know Suzzy's got a point. I may want fame, glory, the whole nine yards. But even I'm not insane enough to go for a suicide run. Just look at me, if anything horrible happened. The females of demon world would all go insane with grief."

"How many times have I told you not to call me Suzzy!"

" Mate, could you not call him Suzzy? It kind of creeps me out, I know a few Suzzy's and mate they look nothing like him."

"Damn it Shishi! Do you always have to be such a jerk off!"

"Hey! I've never had to jerk off in my life! Unlike you Suzuka, I can get a female into bed."

"Now that's the biggest lie I've heard this week. Really Shishi, must the two of you act as if your still younglings? I've had to spend more nights than I can count listing to you jerk off."

"Yeah, the two yea are always being such babies, thata I forgeta how old yea really are. Touya has a point Shishi, yeah really need to quite jerking anda go finda female ta fuck."

"Langue dimwits! Or do you all want to be throw back into the cave again?"

All: "No ma!"

"Good. Now act like the adults you all are. It's sad when the only child in the group is more adult than the adults."

Rinku just smiled as his mentor praised him for his behavior. While cutting down his team mates for acting like kids. He had to admit that over the last couple of years. They certainly acted more like kids than him.

Smirking the younger demon wondered about that. It was almost as he got older they seemed to act more like kids. It was kind of funny, but he wondered if that's what happened to older demons.

The older they got the more they wished to be younger again. The site was especially funny when the ice master blushed a light blue when ever he saw the Ice maiden. A lot of things had changed over the years, but many had stayed the same. Jin and Touya were still masters of ice and wind. They both however had taken to studying a new filed.

Both had taken a long look at what could be used to enhance there already mastered fields. Touya had looked at shadows, fire, wind and water. After several weeks of thought, the ice master had decided that learning the ins and outs of water. Would best help his ice attacks. With learning about water related techs.

Touya hoped to learn how to take down a enemies with there own blood. So far the ice master had mastered a few small but very effective water techs. He had learned some form Ravyn, who while being younger than him. Was still rather powerful, and she was always fun to be around.

Rinku had to admit that the silver kitsune. Was one of his favorite people. Not only was she cute, but she was damn funny and a lot of fun to be around. With Ravyn around he always knew that he was in for a fun time.

Jin had decided to try and study shadow attacks. While everyone but Touya; had looked at him funny when he first mentioned it. Most had thought he'd go with ice or something more related to complementing wind.

Like fire or ice, seeing as how wind and ice would be a deadly combination. Jin had explained that he had at one point tried to learn some ice attacks. Only to explain that he had in his dead sect leaders words. Turned there compound into a unusable frozen waste land.

Jin explained that he knew how to do several ice techs. But that he stayed away form them due to his inability to control the massive amount of power he unleashed. Touya had nodded saying that Jin showed great aptitude for ice.

But needed ice demon or apparition to show him how to control it. Touya had gurgling admitted that he didn't think he could handle teaching Jin. He reminded everyone while they laughed that he was already learning water techs.

While training Ravyn, he couldn't handle it before and he didn't want to handle it now. Touya had gone on to say that he didn't think that even his old master would have been able to train Jin. Yukina had volunteered to do so, it so far had been a slow but profitable experience.

Chu still drank like a fish, but had so much tolerance for it that he rarely did anything stupid. Shishi was still obsessed with becoming a bigger house hold name than he was. The imp demon was always giddy when the mail came. He always smiled big upon the pounds of fan girl mail he got.

Suzuka was still working on his mastery of the art of using items. However the clown youki was now much stronger physical and could do many different techs. He was much more of a threat than he had been during the last tournament.

"Well, how do you dimwits feel about this? I for one, think it's crazy."

"Master Genkai is right it's crazy to even think about it! I mean come on, it's like walking into a forest filled with kitsune males all rubbed down in the sents of females during mating season!"

"Oh, come now. It's not that bad! Please Master Koenma really needs you all!"

Group and Genkai: "HELL NO!"
