Summary: It has been five years since the Tournament of Darkness has been held. A tournament of pure power is to be held every twenty years. This tournament goes by the name of the Tournament of Fury. If given an invitation, one must attend or face death.
A/N: This story will include characters of my own, and I am giving the chance to readers to add your own characters in this. There are eleven teams total, and each team needs six participants. Five fighters and a substitute. I still need people to add in, so if you still want to, you can.
Chapter One: Teams Start to Form
Chuu walked beside Kylen as their team walked back to Kylen's house, "So what you're saying is that we need one more fighter to participate?"
"Exactly," Kylen smiled, "and I won't take a weak fighter. This fighter has to fit my standards, understand you four?"
All nodded, and Touya looked up at the sky, sighing. Kylen smiled at this. Have someone in mind, Touya? Or are you just thinking? Touya looked at Kylen his eyes wide. Kylen laughed. Oh, Touya, I can always tell when one of my fighters is troubled. Now tell me, what is the problem?
Touya sighed once again, looking away from Kylen, "It was nothing."
Kylen shrugged, knowing that in good time he would tell her what was wrong, they all did. She had worked her way into everyone of their hearts and was like a sister to them. Jin looked ahead of them at the house, "Oye, it looks like we have some company, Kylen, are you expecting anyone?"
Kylen eyesight was better than his, and she could make out what the person looked like. Her eyes went wide, quickly looking at Touya and then back at the person waiting at her house. She didn't turn to Touya, "Touya, would you happen to have any relatives? Any whatsoever?" Touya didn't answer her, and Kylen then knew the truth. She dashed ahead, "You I will deal with later, Touya!"
As she came to the house, she slowed, her tail swishing behind her as she stared at the figure. She nodded to the figure, looking them up and down. It was a young female demon, only five foot two inches. She had light blue hair with sea green bangs. Her eyes were an icy blue, and she had an icicle marking under her left eye.
Kylen looked at her clothing, smiling. She was wearing a light blue vest with dark blue sleeves sown onto it and dark blue wristbands. She also wore a pair of navy blue pants held up by a white sash.
Kylen opened her mouth to speak, but the demon did before she could, "I am seeking help."
Kylen smiled, "You have come to the right place. May I ask what your name is, little one?"
Before the little demon could answer, Touya and everyone else had arrived. Touya spoke softly, "Kaze?"
The little demon looked at Touya, shock on her face, "Touya, is that you?"
Touya smiled, "Yes, it is me." He then looked confused, "What are you doing here?"
Kylen looked at Touya and then at the little demon, "She has come seeking help, of what, I do not know."
"I wanted to find Touya, my brother, and I was told that you are a great tracker," Kaze smiled, "but it seems that he was with you."
"Yes, I found this lot four years ago. I took them under my wing and trained them, hoping to find another before another tournament came around." Kylen smiled. She then nodded, "And it seems that you have come at the right moment." She looked at Rinku, "Rinku, after we have something to eat, I would like you to spar against Kaze. I want to see how good she is."
"You really aren't thinkin' of usin' her as our sixth member, are ya?" Jin asked as he looked at Kaze.
Kylen turned to him, smiling, "The size doesn't matter, my dear Jin, it's how you use it that counts!" She nodded, "Yes, I am thinking of using her as our sixth member. Besides, we only have two months to get in shape for the tournament, and she just happened to come at the wrong moment. I don't need to search now if she does as good as I hope she does."
Kaze smiled and started humming, making Kylen smile even more. She turned away from the others and nodded to Kaze, "Come on, I'll fix you something to eat. You must be hungry."
As both walked into the house, Jin turned to Touya, "I never knew you had a sister, Touya."
"You didn't know because I never told you, Jin. And I never told you because I didn't know if she was still safe or not. I haven't seen her since I was young." Touya sighed.
Jin shrugged as he sat in thin air and crossed his legs, "Huh, quite fine lookin' though."
Touya turned to him, his eyes wide, "Jin!" Jin looked at him, clueless. Touya shook his head, "She is my sister, Jin! My sister!"
"An' I'm just sayin' that she quite fine lookin'!" Jin shrugged once again. He turned to Chuu, "What do ya think?"
Chuu walked into the house, "I'm keeping this to meself."
Rinku followed him into the house, "How come I have the feeling that I won't be her favorite anymore?"
"Because it will probably happen, mate," Chuu shrugged, sitting down on the couch, his hands in his pockets.
Kylen smiled at Kaze, "So, are you ready to spar against my Rinku? Do you think you have what it takes to fight him and stay with him?"
Kaze nodded, "Yeah, I will do anything you ask me to so I can join your team!"
Kylen looked out the window of the kitchen, "Do you even know what tournament we are entering into?"
"No, but just the sound of it is exciting!" Kaze smiled, standing up out of her chair.
"You are young, reckless, foolish, just like they were before they found me." Kylen stated. She closed her eyes, battles flashing through the darkness, "The Tournament of Fury is the tournament we are entering. You have probably sealed your fate." Her mood suddenly changed to one of sadness, "And they have sealed their fates as well. I am not promising you or any of them that we will win, and I am not promising you or them that we will survive, but I will promise all of you one thing: that we will try our hardest to fight and defeat our opponents!" She opened her eyes, "How old are you, Kaze?"
"I am four hundred and fifty-two," Kaze stated proudly.
"Then you are too young to die. You should not want to join us," Kylen stated thoughtfully as she put her chin in her hand, smiling slightly. "I myself was only fifty when I started to fight in the tournament. I was their gambling bit. I was only there to make them money." She stood up, walking over to the stove, "You see, this whole tournament started out as just a one on one fight, no teams. Just the fighter as a gladiator seeing how many fights they could win without dieing. Then it changed, and we had teams, first of three, then of four, and then of five, finally of six; five fighters and an alternate. I have been through it all, fighting for all those years. And every year I have been the champion."
"But what happened to your team?" Kaze asked, looking out the window along with Kylen and walking over to the stove as well. She was intrigued.
"My team?" Kylen asked. She laughed, "I left them. I told the committee that I didn't want to fight in the tournament any more. I told them that all I wanted was peace. But it seems that isn't going to happen. I will probably have to fight my old team to get to the top to survive."
Rinku walked into the kitchen, "Is there anything that I can help with, Kylen?"
Kylen turned to him and ruffled his hat, smiling, "No, Rinku, I don't think so. But if you can go get everyone and help set the table, that would be wonderful."
Rinku ran off to do as he was told, and Kaze smiled, "How well does he fight?"
"Quite nicely since I got my hands on him, all of them, actually. Their accuracy is much better, and they are stronger by a considerable amount. We have all trained hard." Kylen laughed.

Dylis sighed as she sat on a bench, "OK, this is useless! We need to find another member, but how are we to find anyone like this? We have no clue who are fighters and who aren't. And to top things off, almost everyone here will think we are nuts if we even tell them the situation that we are in."
Kurama smiled, "Take it easy, Dylis, we will find someone." He then sat down beside her, putting his hand on her shoulder, "Just relax."
Yusuke ran over to them, "Hey guys, I think I have found our fighter!"
"And who would that be, baka?" Hiei asked as he leaned up against a tree, "It better be a good one, or we are going to need new lives."
"Oh, she's pretty good, Hiei," Yusuke smiled as he stopped before them.
"And would you care to tell us who this grand fighter is, Yusuke? We are running out of days to train and get ready for the fights of our lives," Hiei grunted as he closed his eyes.
"Her name is Alex, Hiei, and she is my cousin." Yusuke stated, crossing his arms over his chest, "And at the moment, she is at my house."
"How good can she fight, Urameshi? Tell me that! Is she good enough to keep her life in a battle against demons even stronger than Toguro?" Hiei asked, pushing off the tree.

A female demon with pale purple hair with white streaks in it was standing in a dojo, her long hair in a ponytail. Her violet eyes were searching the room, looking for something. She had white cat ears and a tail. She spun quickly and whipped a throwing knife at a nineteen-year-old looking woman.
The demon's eyes went wide and she yelled, flailing her arms about, "Duck!"
The woman quickly fell to the floor, putting her hands over her head. Her dark green eyes held a fear. Her white milky skin went even paler, and her chocolate brown hair seemed darker than it really was. She looked up at the demon, "Geez! I didn't join this team so you could kill me, Hikari!" She stood up and dusted her white shirt and light blue skirt off.
Hikari sighed, "Where are the others, Sasuki? You know that it is time for training. The tournament is in two months, we have to be ready to defeat everyone by then."
A seventeen-year-old looking young woman came walking into the room, a smile on her face, "You worry too much, Hikari. We will be ready. We are all assassins, I don't think we will fail in getting that prize." She was only five feet tall and had mid-back length auburn hair. Her eyes were a light brown with a hint of blue on the outside.
"Well, almost all of us are assassins," a demon with long jet-black hair with red tip bangs stated as she walked into the room as well. She smiled, "But we are all great fighters, each of us."
"Yeah, and we will be sure to train hard," a young woman that looked the age of sixteen stated as she flipped backward into the room. She had long pure black hair with equally long framing strands. Her deep blue-gray eyes held a mischievous glint in them, "You know, when I first came to know you, Hikari, I didn't trust you, but now I trust you with my life."
"Well, well, well, it seems that the whole team is here!" A demon with snow-white hair and white ears smiled. She had a white tail that was swishing around. Her eyes were a deep blue. She spread her arms wide, "Ah, all assassins yet all female! A great team and ally we have!"
"Yune, don't be so sure of what we can do. I have watched some of the tournaments, and the one team that will most definitely be there would be Team Kilo. They are the toughest team since they started the Tournament of Fury as a team tournament." Hikari shook her head, "Now look, this letter is all we have of our invitation, and our lives are sealed by this, you know that, do you not?" Everyone nodded, and Hikari smiled, "Good, because at the moment, we are going to be training until we can't stand anymore, and then we are going to train some more! We are going to train until we get to Tremor Island!"

A young man the age of fourteen opened his door to his small little house in the middle of some woods. He looked at his only table and then quickly looked around the room, seeing if anyone was there. His ghost white hair stood out in the gloom of the room, accenting his pale blue eyes as they scanned the room a second time. He was only five foot five inches, but he was solidly built.
He walked over to the table, seeing a white envelope that wasn't there before he had left to train. His name was on the envelope, and his curiosity got the better of him. He opened it up and skimmed through the contents of it, his eyes getting wider and wider.
Philas Glidestringer,
We invite you to join the team of Team Kilo, the reigning champions of the Tournament of Fury. The Tournament of Fury is to begin in two months time, and the Council of Fury has noticed your powers and your will. We would like to invite you to start training with the reigning champions of the tournament. If you fail to comply with these wishes, we shall hunt you down and kill you. At midnight, there will be a ship awaiting your arrival for you to join the reigning champions.
Council of Fury
Philas shook his head, "Blackmail?" He glared at the piece of paper and then smirked, "What the hell, I'll join. Might as well. I mean, what is the worst that could happen? I die? I am ready." He looked at a katana sitting on his bed, smiling at it, "Oh, those who get in my way will not survive.
88888888888
An elf spun on his heel as he heard his name being called. "Iceus! Iceus!"
"What is it?" He asked, his icy blue eyes staring at the elf that had called him. He had long, silky light brown hair. He was nicely built, a little buff.
The elf handed him an envelope that was sealed with his name on it, "This is for you. It seems to be the same type of letter that she got when she went to the Tournament of Fury."
Iceus glared at the elf, and the elf bowed and then left, not looking back. He opened the letter and read it methodically, taking time to stare at the words. He crumpled the letter up in his hand, remembering every word that was in it.
Iceus,
We know of your ancient clan of elves. We wish to have a fighter from it participate in the tournament to come. You shall be put on a team called Kia. You know our rules, that if you do not show, you shall be hunted down and killed. Come to the two hundredth tournament of the Tournament of Fury. Show everyone what your clan can do, and represent your lost love.
Council of Fury
Iceus shook his head, "Not even the Tournament of Fury could stop me from doing this!" He took a deep breath, "I have a journey ahead of me if I am to survive this tournament and make my clan proud!" At his waist was a katana of about forty inches in length.

Hiei leaned against the walk of Yusuke's living room, "Huh, she doesn't seem like a fighter that could stand up against Kylen."
Yusuke glared at Hiei, "I wouldn't be talking shorty, at least she is taller than you at her age!" He nodded to the young girl standing there, "Don't listen to him, Alex."
The girl standing there was only five feet one inch, and was skinny. She had light brown skin and big brown eyes. Her black hair was in two pigtails, starting under her ear and ending at her shoulders. She was wearing a gray halter-top, and a pair of blue jean hipster Capri's. She crossed her arms over her chest, "Huh, I can fight as well as anyone you tell me to fight!"
"Bratty, isn't she?" Dylis whispered as she looked at Kurama. Kurama smiled sheepishly and Dylis then turned to Yusuke, "She must be related to you, Yusuke, either that, or she has taken one too many lessons off of you!"
Alex glared at Dylis, "If you weren't friends with Yusuke, then I would hurt you for saying that!"
Dylis laughed uneasily, looking around the room for any means of easy escape. Kurama saved her, "I assure you, Alex, that we are friends of Yusuke, nothing less than friends."
"Alex can fight well, trust me on that one. And, we need one more fighter, so hey, I thought, 'What the hell,' might as well have her." Yusuke shrugged.
"Well, if our last member is taken care of, we better start training," Hiei grunted, pushing off the wall, opening his eyes.

A demon of two hundred and ninety-four read a letter addressed to her. Her hold on the letter tightened after every sentence she read, knowing that this was her only chance to go home and get revenge for her family. She had hair that was jet black with thin light sky blue streaks. Her eyes were midnight blue, and on her forehead was a ring of red dots. She had pointed ears and two pairs of silver angel wings that seemed to disappear when she wanted them to.
Shuurei Kazeakki,
The Council of Fury would like to invite you to join the two hundredth time of the Tournament of Fury. If you fail to enter, we shall kill you ourselves. If you join and win, there is a chance for you to go home, get revenge for those you wish to get revenge on. Five others shall be on your team as well, others like you, others that have been used or taken from their homes. We wish for you to lead them in this tournament. The prize for ultimate glory is boundless, you pick your prize and we shall give it to you, along with the power you gain.
Council of Fury
Shuurei crumpled the paper up, quickly throwing the paper to the ground, "So, they can give me a way home for my revenge? I shall do everything in my power to comply with what they want! So a tournament of skills, eh? My team shall win, I shall make sure of it!" With that, she spun on her heel and walked away quickly, not looking back, nor noticing the figure standing in the shadows, watching her with intent, their golden eyes flashing lightly.
"So she is going to enter, is she? Well, what a pity. I thought I was going to have a chance to test myself before the tournament even started. This sucks! Everyone is deciding to join! I will never have any fun!" The figure clenched their fists, "No blood shall be shed before the tournament, that is a first. This tournament is going to be a good one, I have a feeling!"
As quick as the wind, the figure was gone, nothing left behind from where they were standing, not even an indent on the grass. One thing could be seen though, that one thing was another piece of paper with names on it, every single one of the names were crossed out except for one. That name was Kylen.

A demon of one hundred and fifty years of age was training, her sword swinging down from its upright position. Sweat was pouring down from her, but she paid no heed to it, she was too engrossed in her work to even notice. She had pale red hair that was braided, and her eyes were ice blue. Her skin was pale, highlighting her eyes and hair. She was wearing a red tank with black fighters pants. From the front of the tank top, you could barely make out a tattoo of a phoenix and on the back, you could just start to see a tattoo of a dragon.
Stuck to a tree by a small dagger was a note with the demon's name on it. The letter was the reason the demon was training. On the dagger's hilt was a necklace with both a silver right with runes on it and a silver heart shaped locket with a picture of her family in it.
"Must get stronger!" She grunted, swiping her sword once again and then spinning on her heel, bringing her leg out for a kick.
Kathryna DiMera,
It has come to our attention from an associate of ours that you are a fighter of a high class. We would like to invite you to the two hundredth start of the Tournament of Fury. A demon of your stature should have no trouble running a team of five other demons like yourself. We are letting you know of your choices. You can either join the tournament, or you can die.
Council of Fury
Kathryna shook her head quickly, splattering sweat all over the place, clearing her eyes of it at the same moment. She had been training for the past two days, not stopping for anything, hoping to get stronger in time for the tournament. The letter had come to her, and she at once knew she had no choice but to comply with their wishes.
