The two demoness were seated at a large table. The room was different form anything Skull has ever seen. It was enchanted to look as if it was outdoors. The floor was some like the bottom of a forest floor. The walls as if trees and the ceiling was a bright blue sky. The room looked just like a forest in human world.

Skull wasn't one to be impressed easily, but the home she was in was very impressive. It was warm and had a friendly feeling run through it, along with a feeling of freedom. The villa was if anything was a nice place to take a nap. Now if the training room was like the rest of the house, wild kitsune's couldn't get her out of it.

Skull: "So, form what your telling me. Your goals are to beat the tar out of Yuskue Urameshi and get place for your family in the light?"

Kathjina: "Yeah. Tis what I'm gunning fora."

Skull: "Just why do you want to beat the tar out of the current King of Demon World?"

Kathjina: "Tis a personal reason, it's abouta revenge. He did something, I will not forgive."

Skull:"I won't go into battle with someone who's looking for revenge. It will cost us wins, and that I will not have."

Kathjina: "Ya have ma on my word. I will not let us lose, I don'ta like losing fights. I win, I donta lose."

Skull: "Good. I see we have the same thoughts. Now do you know anything else about our missing team mates?"

Kathjina: "Froma whata tha toddler told ma, they should ba showing up in tha next few days."

Skull business like: "Excellent. Now where is this training room you mentioned?"

Kathjina normal: "Follow ma, tis about my normal training timea. Ya don't minda heights da ya?"

Skull wondering: "No. Why?"

Kathjina sly: "Let's justa say tha room changes ta fit diffrenta places in demon world anda the human world."

Skull happy: "This is going to be fun."

Tony scowled, he had yet to find the woman he was desperate to have. Somehow his search had been stone walled, it seemed that he would have to wait until the tournament. He wasn't happy, he wanted her in his bed moaning his name. He wanted her now, not latter now in his arms feeling her against him.

Sighing Tony launched himself into the air and began to unleash his power. If he couldn't have his sprite, he mite as well make his powers more deadly and longer lasting. He was going to have to be in top form to win the tournament. It held the keys to his future and he would be damned if he didn't reach out and grab them.

"You know you could just send her a letter or something. You know her Jin, she's more than likely upset that we parted on bad terms. She loves you, she's just got it into her head you can do no wrong."

"Thata is no excuses fora her behavior! She's no a child anymore, she's grown. I won't be having ma clriss acting as if shea tis five again."

"Chiisa, only acted like that because she felt you had been insulted. Which is partly our fault Jin, you let her hold you up on a pedestal. She has hero worship for you and you encage her. Because you know it keeps her from doing things you think are wrong for her."

"I doa nota! Chiisa, tis justa too headstrong sometimes, I justa needa ta keep her safe. I'm nota trying ta run her life."

"So says the over protective brother who "helped" his little Chiisa, in her first tournament match. Then took her home after the first round. All the while yelling at her about how she could have been killed."

"Shea was too young! Ya know tis true Touya! Shea was far too young ta be at thata tournament. I only twas looking out fora hera, Chiisa tis my only sibling."

"I know Jin, but you are going to have to let her stand on her own. She's a adult now and more than able to fight her own battles. Her power level was just a little below you the last time we saw her. And that was nearly a year ago. You should just swollow your pride and come with me for a visit."

"Ok, Touya. It's beena too long. I wanta ta see me sis."

"That was the most intense thing I've ever done. This is counting the fact I train in the meaner parts of Yomi's old territory."

"I tink we did good, haven't beena this sore since tha last timea I trained with me brother and teacher."

"Who are your brother and teacher?"

"Me older brother an teacher area Jin and Touya."

"Jin! Touya! The only two shadow channler's left! They who were at the Dark Tournament and lived? You are connected to them?"

"Yeppers. Jin tis me older brother. Touya has beena family firend fora years."

"I should have realized that was where you learned how to control ice. You have control and mastery that would only normally come from having Ice demon or apparitions blood in them. Most demons can't other wise work with ice."

"Rue. Touya ta was a ery gooda teacher. Coursea I earned early ona ta heal me self. Ya geta chased bya shards of wintera enough ya earn ta heal."

"Yes, I can believe that. Jin and Touya have quite the reputation."

"Yeaha, and tis well earned."

The dark forests of demon world were alive with action. The up and coming tournament had cause a lot of stir. Most demons were training, it was quite the site. In any number of places one could find all kinds of demons.

Many were half breeds, a sign of just how high stakes the tournament was. Most half breeds of any kind were not social. There was very little tolerance for certain kinds of half breeds. However most of the half breeds training in one forest. Were grateful for some company that didn't care about blood.

Sora Kurama was one of them, a half kitsune and bat breed. Sora had grown up with a mixed up but loving family. A family which had been curly taken form her. They were her reason for entering the coming tournament. Like most of the half breeds training in the forest, Sora wanted her family back.

Sora smiled a little as she watched Nflight Korki attack a low level slime mold demon. Korki was half shadow half human, he was truly an outcast. However his powers were quite different and impressive.

He had been getting stronger tech wise and being trying to physical get stronger. Being half shadow demon was not all it was cut out to be. Especially when it was mixed with human blood, not that his techs were not powerful. His techs were damn powerful, however if one could make it past them.

Getting Korki knocked out wouldn't take much, more than a one good punch. At least that's what it would have taken, now thanks in part to his training and the other half breeds. Korki was no longer a one hit wonder. His human father had been a weak priest, who had died young from heart familiar.

In all Sora wasn't sure what had lead his mother to having wanted to mate him. But from the sounds of it, his mother was the head of the clan so no one had questioned her. Well according to Korki a few had, but they had ended up in pieces.

Sora smiled, it was rare to find hanyouki's in demon world. Most of them were left in human abounded by their human mothers. Or if they were lucky and their demons traits had not been shown at birth. If that was the case most just ended up like teenage delinquents or became fighters of some kind. Demons blood tended to bring out problems with authority and a desire to fight.

Sora smiled again as Korki and Hoshi Cira a 500 male half shadow, half ice demon. Start to spar while several others watched on. The up and coming tournament was going to be good. If luck held Sora would get to see her brother soon.
