Chapter Three: The Tournament has BegunKaze stood beside Jin, not looking at Kylen as Kylen stood in front of them, the note in her hands as they got ready to board the ship that would take them to Tremor island. Jin didn't look at Kaze, "You still mad at her, lass?"
"Why shouldn't I be, Jin? She almost killed you!" Kaze stated, crossing her arms over her chest.
Kylen's face went to one of sadness as Touya put his hand on her shoulder, "Don't listen to her, Kylen. She is young."
Kylen looked at the mass of demons on the ship already, "When you get on this ship, stay in a group, understand? Don't you ever go around deck alone. Pair up in the bunks. These demons will kill when they get the chance to." She then took a deep breath, "Come on, it's time we got on this and on our way." She walked up the walkway of the ship and onto its deck.
Her team followed her, and all looked around, seeing everyone. Jin laughed as he saw someone familiar. "Ah, Urameshi!"
Kylen looked to see who he was talking about to see a young man with short black hair and brown eyes. A team of mixed demons and humans surrounded him. There was a tall young man that was a demon, Kylen could tell. He had long red hair, and beside him was a kitsune that had pink hair and purple fox ears with a purple tail. Her eyes were a green. Kylen's smirk died as she saw a short demon standing beside the two of them. Her thoughts then jumped to her old team, landing on Rei. She knew the demon as Hiei, the one who had destroyed Rei's clan, killed them all.
Her fists clenched as everyone of her team walked over to theirs. She made no move, she wasn't going to go near him, she cared for her team, and her wish this time for winning was going to free them, all of them.
Touya turned to her, "Kylen, aren't you going to come meet them?"
Kylen stood where she was, her eyes wild with golden flecks. Touya at once knew something was wrong. He elbowed Jin and Jin too looked. Chuu grabbed Rinku and kept him back, "Now Kylen, what have we told you about that temper?"
Kylen snarled and took a menacing step forward, scaring the small girl on the other team. She grabbed onto Touya. Touya looked worriedly at her, "Kylen, what is wrong?"
Kylen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to relax herself. She shook her head, "Rei can wait. I can't get revenge for him now. No, they have to be in the tournament or all of their lives will be killed without a thought by the council."
Kylen spun away from them, and Jin smiled, "Ah, that is our Captain, Kylen."
The kitsune walked forward, "The Kylen? The champion of the tournament ever since it began?"
Kylen nodded, not turning around, "Yeah, that's me. And I would appreciate it if you didn't talk to me until after the tournament begins."
As she walked away, she heard Hiei state quietly, "So it is true. They have caused her to go blood crazy until the tournament begins."
Kylen spun around, "What do you know about me?"
The red head held his hands up, "We want no fights now. Let's wait until the tournament begins."
Kylen snarled and walked away, not looking back. Jin shrugged, "She seems to get this way sometimes, don't take offense to it. She is quite fun to be around."
Kaze glared at Kylen's back, "Yeah, well she tried to kill you two months ago, Jin! You call that fun?"
Touya sighed, "Kaze, she didn't mean to."

Kylen walked on the ship as it set sail, looking at all the teams and wondering how long each of them would last in the tournament. She froze where she was as she saw one demon that caught her eye. Her breath caught in her throat, "Dyian?"
The demon turned around, laughing at something one of his team members said. He stopped laughing as he saw Kylen, and his eyes filled with sadness at the sight of her. His eyes bore straight through Kylen, just like Dyian's had.
The demon walked slowly toward Kylen, and Kylen stood where she was, hearing the other members of his team call him captain. Kylen's hope raised even more. Dyian had always told his team to call him captain. As the demon reached Kylen, he smiled, "Kylen."
Kylen closed her eyes, tears threatening to spill out, "Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am?" He smiled as she opened her eyes. He put a hand on her cheek.
Kylen leaned into his touch, the same hands as Dyian had, she mused. She took a deep breath, "Dyian, it can't be. I thought I had killed you."
He smiled, nuzzling her nose, "Think what you want, sweet little wolf."
Kylen was brought to tears at that, "Dyian!" She couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face.
He laughed, "Yes?"
"Oh, I thought you were dead! I thought I had lost you! Don't ever make me do it again! Promise me!" Kylen cried as she wrapped her arms around him.
The demon laughed, "I promise! I promise with my soul!"
One of the members of his team came forward, "Captain?"
Captain laughed, "Shuurei, this is Kylen."
"No, that is not what I was asking. Your name is Dyian? Why did you never tell us? It is such a beautiful name." Shuurei asked.
Captain faltered. Of course Dyian wasn't his name, but Kylen was full of joy at knowing that Dyian was back. He whispered to Shuurei, "I will talk to you later." He then hugged Kylen quickly, "Kylen, I must be going, but we will talk later."
He then pulled away from her and walked back over to his team. Kylen watched him for another second before she walked back to the deck. She faltered as she saw Hiei leaning against the wall of the below deck. He opened his eyes and looked into hers, "He is not who you think he is, Kylen."
Kylen's joy faded, and anger coursed through her veins at him. She snarled, "What would you know? You have never been in this tournament!"
Hiei smirked, pushing off the wall and walking in front of her, surprising her that he was her height. He looked straight into her eyes, "Now look here! I didn't even want to be in this tournament, although the prize is a little convincing. I was forced into this, and I suggest that you keep your distance from me or I will kill you myself!"
Kylen's anger vanished at those words. She couldn't help but smile. She ran a hand down his face, causing him to freeze in his place, "Now Hiei, I know too much about you, hell, probably almost everyone on your team, but if you intend to kill me, I would say do it while I am asleep. Just make sure you are close enough to me when I fall asleep or you won't get the chance to kill me." With those words, she quickly kissed him and then walked away, leaving the fire demon standing there, a light blush on his cheeks.
Yusuke laughed as he walked up to Hiei, "Wow, Shorty, never thought you could blush!"
Hiei crossed his arms over his chest, the blush disappearing, "Huh, baka!" He then walked off in the direction of Kylen, ready to yell at her for humiliating him.
He found her talking to her team, especially Touya. For some reason, Hiei's blood started to boil as he saw Kylen's laughing face at something Touya had said.
Kylen laughed at a joke Touya had just said, "Oh Touya, you always know how to cheer me up!" She put a hand on his shoulder, her fangs shining as she smiled, "You will make someone very joyful in your life."
Touya smiled, "You think so, Kylen?" Kylen nodded, and Touya laughed as well, "So be it!"

Kaylo sat in a tree, Rei beneath her along with Philas, Lepar, Harou, and Korihi. They all watched the ship pull into the docks and Kaylo's eyes went wide as she saw the demons start to shuffle off of it.
Kaylo's voice was soft and small, "Do you think they are good fighters? Do you think I will be able to fight this year?"
Rei looked up at her quickly, "I don't know about you fighting this year, Kaylo, but I am sure that they are good. How about after they all get checked into their room we go and see which ones appeal to you?"
Kaylo's smiling face made him laugh, "You mean it?" At his nod, she smiled even more, "Oh wow!" She jumped down from the tree as she saw someone she thought she knew, "Uh, Rei, tell me that is not her!"
Rei looked to see who she was talking about, only to see Kylen looking around as she walked off the ship and then stop on the docks. Rei sighed, closing his eyes, "Kaylo, Kylen is in the tournament as well."
Kaylo shook her head, yelling, "No! She will die if she doesn't win! You know the rules!"
"If the winner spares her life she will live," Rei smiled at her, trying to calm her down.
"But usually no one spares their life until we get to them! You know that!" Kaylo almost cried.
"Then we must figure out how we are going to spare her life, won't we, Kaylo?" Korihi asked, smiling slightly.
Kaylo looked at him, a smile starting to appear on her face, "You would really do that for me?"
"Of course we would!" Harou stated, laughing lightly.
88888888888888
Kylen looked around, not caring as other demons walked past her off the docks. She just stood there, so many memories washing through her head about the island that she had lived on since she was fifty. Chuu walked up beside her, trying to see what she was seeing. He scratched his head, "I don't see it."
That statement brought Kylen out of her memories. She shook her head, "Sorry, guys, I didn't mean to zone out." She then started to walk onto the island, "At home, once again."
Jin smiled at her, "She seems the be at home."
"She should be, Jin. She has been in the tournament ever since she was fifty," Kaze stated, "She has been killing ever since then."
"I know, but you can't judge her on that, Kaze. She tries her hardest to do what she can do for others," Jin sighed as they walked behind Kylen.
As they entered the hotel that every team stayed in, Kylen froze. An older looking man was standing by the reception desk. He looked about thirty-five, and he had spiky black hair. His eyes were a beautiful blue. He was wearing a training outfit and had dog tags around his neck.
He was one of the few Kylen had spared in the last tournament, and it seemed that the Council wanted him dead. She took a step closer, calling his name, "Dar Traki!" He turned to her, and his eyes flashed in joy. Kylen laughed, "Oh, I never thought I would see you again!"
The man walked over to her, grabbing her hand in his, "Kylen! It can't be! You haven't aged a day since I last saw you!"
"It is me," Kylen laughed. She then shook her head, "The last time I saw you, you looked like a teenager!"
"Well, us humans age quickly, you know?" He shrugged. He then nodded, "Still on team Kilo? I didn't see you on the list."
"No, I'm not on their team anymore. I have my own team. Team Kylen," Kylen smiled. She then nodded, "So, what fateful team are you on?"
"Team Axe." He shrugged.
"How is your sister, eh Dar?" Kylen asked, relaxing for the first time since she got off the ship.
"She is here as well. In fact, she is on the team." Dar nodded. "Kelsea decided that if I was entering again, she was going to as well."
Kylen nodded, "Eh? Well, that will be an interesting fight. Your sister verses some other demon." She then looked worried, "Has she ever fought a demon before, Dar? If not, this will be a huge wake up call for her. She might even die, Dar."
"We trained with the four other members of our team, all demons. I think we will all right. If need be, I will trade my life for hers." Dar sighed, "She is younger, she needs longer to live."
"How old is your sister now?" Kylen asked, "You were only fifteen when you fought in the last tournament."
"She is twenty-five, Kylen," Dar smiled, "capable enough to hold her own in a fight." He then looked at the reception desk, "Oh, I have been keeping you. I'm sorry. Maybe we can talk later, huh?"
"Yeah, maybe," Kylen smiled one final time at him before he walked away. She walked up to the reception desk.
The demon sitting behind the desk didn't look up from the papers on their desk, "Name please."
"Team Kylen, consisting of Kylen, Jin, Touya, Chuu, Rinku, and Kaze." Kylen mumbled, knowing what was to come.
The demon quickly looked up, "Kylen?" Kylen looked away from the demon, and he smiled, "Oh, Kaylo will be happy to see you!"
Kylen sighed, rolling her eyes, "Look, Jursi, just give us our rooms, will you? I can't stand this waiting!"
The demon looked down at the paper again, checking their names off, "Okay, here are your keys to your room."
Kylen took the keys and passed them out to her teammates. As she looked at the room number, she moaned. The room number was seven hundred and ninety-eight. Their room was right across from Team Kilo's.
As everyone turned and walked to the elevator, Kylen sighed, excepting the fact that she would have to face her old team sooner or later. As everyone entered the elevator, Kylen froze before she walked in. She watched as the door closed and then turned back to the reception desk.
She had sensed someone. She didn't know who it was, but knew that she needed to help them. Standing at the reception desk was an elf. He had long silky brown hair, and his eyes were an icy blue. Kylen's heart moved as she saw him, something in her telling her that she knew him somehow.
The elf looked over at her, and she jumped as his eyes bore into her. She walked over towards him, her eyes shadowed. Jursi smiled at him, "Ah, you must be Iceus from Team Kia." The elf nodded, and Jursi handed him a key, "This is the key to your room."
The elf bowed slightly and then turned away, walking toward Kylen. As he started to walk past Kylen, she grabbed his arm, causing him to turn an icy blue stare onto her. Kylen's hand that was holding his arm started to shake. Her voice was shaky as well when she spoke, "Do I know you?"
The elf just stared at her, not saying a word. Kylen almost became desperate. She needed to know if she knew him. For some reason she felt as if she owed the elf something, and her feelings were always correct.
Another demon came up beside the elf, looking at him and then Kylen, "Iceus, is anything wrong? Is she bothering you?"
The elf shook his head, "No, Tio, she isn't bothering me." He then looked at the elevator, "Why don't you go to our room, take the rest with you. I will be there in a couple of minutes."
After the rest of his team had entered the elevator, Iceus looked at Kylen once again. She let him go, her eyes holding sadness for something locked deep down inside her. A tear made its way down her cheek, escaping her eye, "Iceus? That is your name?"
He nodded, "Yes, that is my name."
Kylen bowed to him and then turned away, "Thank you."
"What is your name? Why did you want to know mine?" Iceus asked, walking around so he could look into Kylen's eyes.
"I am Kylen," Kylen stated sadly, "and that is all you need to know." She spun around and headed out of the building, not looking at the demons that passed her on her way out.
Yusuke turned as she walked past him, "Huh, isn't that Kylen?"
"What of it? She is free to walk around the island, we all are," Hiei stated, crossing his arms across his chest.
"She looked saddened for some reason, and wouldn't she want to stay with her team until the tournament starts?" Dylis asked, watching her walk away.
Kurama tilted his head to the side, "Yes, for some reason she did look saddened."
888888888888
Kylen walked into the woods, knowing that she was safe. She knew these lands better than anyone here. She quickly spun around as she heard something rustle, claws appearing instead of nails. She relaxed as she saw Rei, Lepar, Harou, Korihi, and in back of them all, trying to stay hidden, Kaylo.
Kylen smiled sadly, "Guys, so good to see you." She looked around, trying to see if anyone was watching, but not a single power source could be felt.
Harou smiled, taking a step toward her, "Ah, blackmailed into it, eh?"
Kylen laughed lightly, "You know me too well, huh." She nodded, "Yeah, just like everyone else here, I was blackmailed for life." Her words got softer, "But not my life."
Rei walked forward, a smile appearing on his face as well, "It's good to see you again, Kylen, we have all missed you." He turned as Philas walked out of the shadows. He chuckled, "Kylen, I would like you to meet Philas Glidestringer, our new member."
Kylen shrugged, "Council?"
"Council," Korihi shrugged back, "we weren't allowed to find someone. You know the rules. We have to live here."
Kylen kneeled down, her eyes staring at Kaylo, "Hey there, little one, how has it been? Training hard? Are you going to beat me, take my rightful place as captain of Kilo?"
Kaylo looked up at her, her eyes glaring, startling Kylen, "You left me! You left us! You promised that we would all be a family!" Tears started to fall from her eyes, causing Kylen's heart to ache, "You left when I needed you most, Kylen! We all needed you! Just because Dyian died doesn't mean that you had to leave us! We had everything you needed! Love, hope, strength, family!"
Kylen lowered her gaze, "I'm sorry, Kaylo, I didn't have a choice." Her voice was laced with hatred, "The council, there is so much that you don't know! That I forbade you to know!" She stood up, her eyes full of anger, "Kaylo, there is too much that you do not understand about the council! And whatever you think about them, keep thinking it!" She then spun around and walked back to the hotel, knowing that her team was probably in a search for her.
888888888888
Iceus shook his head as he walked into his team's room. Tio was lounging on their couch, looking at the ceiling, his magenta eyes unfocused. His spiked blue hair was still in place. He turned as Iceus closed the door. His magenta eyes focused, and he smiled, "Taki, Anuki, Lily, Cloud! Hurry up, Iceus is back! We have to show him around the room, tell him who is sleeping where before we go and train some!"
A thirteen year old looking demon walked out from one of the rooms. His two toned hair, light blue in the front and dark in the back, a mess from what looked like a tussle. His light blue eyes looked at Iceus with interest. His well-toned body looked ready to pounce. On his right cheek were two blue triangles. His white headband looked ready to fall over his eyes, and his light blue t-shirt was all crumpled. He nodded, straightening his blue shorts, "Took you long enough to get up here, elf."
Another demon walked out, her deep blue waist length hair free. Her skin was a milky white, her hair accenting it. One of her eyes was green, and the other was blue. A short sword was at her waist. She smiled, looking smug, "Oh, you are just mad that I caught you by surprise, Taki!"
Taki glared at her, "Shut up, Lily!"
Another figure walked out from a separate room, and Tio turned on the couch, looking hurt, "Cloud, could you please stop them from fighting?"
Cloud looked seventeen. Being six foot two, he almost towered over them all. His light blue hair was almost white, and his blue eyes were full of agitation, "Would you two stop? How are we ever going to win if all you two ever do is fight?" He walked over to the couch and sat down beside Tio. He closed his eyes, "Anuki, why don't you join us. We are having a get together."
Anuki walked out into the center room, her black chin length hair framing her face. Her red eyes were full of annoyance. She was small yet muscular. She shook her head, "Now what? We have everyone."
Tio jumped up off the couch, "We have to show Iceus where he is sleeping, that is what!"
Cloud looked at Iceus and then stood, feeling that something was wrong, "What happened? Why were you so late?"
Iceus shook his head, "Nothing important, just ran into someone."
"Did you kill them?" Lily asked, bounding over to Iceus, smiling sweetly.
Iceus looked away from her, "No, I didn't. She is still alive to see another dawn, although, I am glad I am as well."
"Who was it?" Tio asked, looking at Taki as he scratched his head.
"Kylen, former champion of the tournament." Iceus coldly replied.
Taki shrugged, "Oh, that's all? I thought it was someone important!" Everyone looked at him with shocked faces, and he smirked lightly, "What? Haven't you ever heard of a wisecrack before?"
888888888888
Yuzi sighed as she sat down in a chair, "Hey, you know, I think we should all go check out the competition that we are going to have, do you all agree?"
A demon looking sixteen nodded, "Yeah, I agree." She had gray eyes and black hair with white strips in it. She was sharpening a spear, her concentration on it, "I want to see what we are up against." She had dolphin earrings.
"Minia, you just want to get out and move around," a demon looking seventeen stated, rolling her golden eyes. Her black hair that went a little past her chin bounced as she shook her head. She was wearing a black choker.
"Yeah, well, at least she wants to do something, Koyuki!" Nancy sighed, standing up, bored out of her mind.
"Well then, let's do something about it," Krystal smiled.
Youko Raven nodded, walking to the door, "Yeah, come on, I bet that we can see everyone." Everyone followed her.
888888888888
Kylen sighed, opening the door to her team's room. Her eyes went big as she saw not only her team in the room, but team Urameshi as well. She shook her head and moaned, not wanting to have anything to do with Hiei or his friends. Everyone turned to her, and Yusuke smiled, "Ah, so the star returns!"
Kylen glared at him, her tail swishing behind her, "And may I ask what all of you are doing in my team's room?"
Alex looked at Yusuke, "They invited us in! We are in the room next to yours!"
Kylen rubbed her hand over her face, "I can see this is going to be an interesting tournament."
"Well, I can see she is in a civil mood at the moment," Kylen looked up to see Hiei smirking.
Kylen growled, opening her mouth to answer, but Rinku interjected, "She is just overwhelmed from the ride. She just needs some rest."
Kylen glared at Rinku, her fists clenching, "All right, look here! If anyone is going to say anything about me, it is only going to be myself! I am fine, I just don't want our two teams talking to each other! If you want to survive in this tournament, then I suggest that you don't make friends with anyone from any other team! Take my word." Her voice got soft, sadness creeping into it, "For when the time comes that you have to fight each other, you will have nothing to loose by defeating your opponent." She walked over and sat down in a chair across from Hiei, not looking at him.
Chuu smiled, "Well, that seems to be taken care of. What do you all say to some drinks? Huh?"
Kylen moaned once again, putting her head in her hands, "Didn't you just hear me?"
"We can't help it that we are already friends, lass," Chuu smiled pouring her a drink, "Here, I think you need this."
Kylen took it from him, "You have no clue." She gulped it down and then closed her eyes, "This is the very last tournament I ever fight in, my honorable word."
"Well, that isn't reliable then," Hiei grunted. Kylen looked at him, glaring daggers. He smirked, "This is coming from a demon that even went out and killed people for the Council. You killed many, and Koenma was at a loss as to what to do with you."
Kylen clapped her hands together, glaring at Hiei, "Very good, Hiei, it seems at least one of you has done your research on me." She then smirked, "Maybe now you know what you are going against." She stood up, "Now if you will excuse me, I must be off. I have a date with the Council."
"Killing them before the tournament isn't going to help you," Dylis stated, sitting beside Kurama
Kylen spun around, snarling, "You don't even know what they have done to my life and my family's! My whole team has suffered, I have suffered, innocents have suffered! They have to be stopped!"
"Wait until after the tournament, Kylen," Kurama stated sadly.
Kuwabara shook his head, "Uh, could someone please fill me in?"
Both Hiei and Kylen turned to him, saying at the same time, "You Baka!" They then looked at each other, once again saying in unison, "Death is waiting for you!"
Kylen closed her mouth, glaring at Hiei as he smirked smugly. Kaze smiled at Touya, "Well, that was quite interesting."
Touya nodded, "I agree, that was quite interesting."
Jin smiled, "Well, it seems that…"
Kylen glared at him, "You even say it, and I will kill you before our opponents could!" She then walked to the door, shaking her head, "Forget this! Find me when you are done socializing!" She then closed the door as she walked out.
888888888888
Kylen ran into Captain and Shuurei. Her eyes went wide as she saw the two in each other's arms. She couldn't believe it. Her heart almost shattered. She walked on, pushing past the two, causing them to look up. Captain swore to himself, quickly pulling away from Shuurei.
Shuurei gave him a puzzled look as he started to run after Kylen, "Kyian, what is wrong?"
Captain sharply turned and looked into her eyes, quickly forgetting Kylen for the moment. He walked back to her, "Nothing is wrong. I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that." He then nodded, "Let's get back to the rest of the team."
As they entered their room, Bobbie smiled at them, Raven in a headlock under her arm, "Hey guys, Congo and Kaurai have been waiting for you!"
Raven struggled, but not much. He was trying to hide a smile, "Bobbie, let me go!"
Bobbie shook her head, "No, I have caught you, now why would I let you go?"
Captain and Shuurei walked over to the couch, where two figures were sitting. Captain nodded to the male demon, "Kaurai, you were waiting for us?"
The male demon had light purple hair in front, dark purple hair in back, and his left bangs were gray. His eyes were a dark gray. He looked like an average human, but that didn't fool Captain, he knew that Kaurai was quite strong. He nodded, "Yeah, we were waiting for you. The other two found a way to entertain themselves. I didn't want to join."
Captain shook his head, "You know, it is fine if you want to join them, Kaurai."
The other demon shook her head, "It is fine, we are quite content where we are." She had dark brown hair, with a hint of black, in a boyish haircut with four bangs over her right eye.
Shuurei smiled, "All right Congo, you can do what you want." She smiled at Captain, "We should probably get some rest. Tomorrow they are going to tell us the order of the fights."
888888888888
Kathryna sat with Leo and Shira sighing, "I can't believe the time we have to get up tomorrow!"
"They said we didn't have to go to the meeting. It isn't mandatory," a demon stretched out on another chair. He had jet-black hair that was kind of messy and down to his ears. He had fox ears that were clay colored with flecks of black and his eyes were a dark crimson. His tail swished around.
"Hoshi, we have to go," Shira moaned.
Another demon shrugged, "Well, I guess that is what we have to do if we are to be in this tournament." She had dark brown hair that ended at the top of her ears, and she wore a black bandana to cover her natural jagan eye. Her eyes were violet.
"Yeah, well, I never signed up for the tournament that says, 'Get up at five in the morning for a meeting!' I signed up for the tournament that says, 'Kill or be killed, that's the rule,' Cole." The last member of the team stated, crossing her arms over her chest. She had short black hair that ended at the neck and icy blue eyes. She also had a black scar across her face. She had gold chain earrings and wore a golden, metal choker.
"Kinu, some things come with this tournament, and we are going to have to get used to them," Leo smiled.
"Get a life," Cole rolled her eyes.
"Already did," Leo smirked and then laughed at his own joke.
Shira rolled her eyes and then sighed, "Why?"
888888888888
Kylen stormed out of the hotel, going to a secluded spot on the beach, a place that she thought she only knew about. She froze mid-stride as she saw someone standing, looking out into the water. He had long jet-black hair in a low ponytail that the breeze was trying its best to undo. As he spun around, Kylen saw that he had blood red eyes and was built nicely.
He looked only fourteen, but Kylen could tell he was about three hundred. He was wearing a black vest with a red shirt under it and black baggy pants. He nodded to her, "Disturbed by something?"
An image of Kaylo's small form wrapping her fingers around her throat came into her mind, and it sent a shiver down her spine. The demon smiled, "I see something is."
Kylen walked up beside him, "How did you find this place? I thought I only knew about it."
He looked at her, smiling, "Look what happens when you wander out thinking. Your feet take you somewhere that no one knows about." He nodded, "My name is Vincent."
"I'm Kylen," Kylen mumbled, looking out at the sea.
"It seems that fate has brought us together on this fine night. We both seem to have problems that may benefit if we tell each other," Vincent stated, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Kylen felt her younger sister's hands around her neck and felt the air leave her lungs. Her eyes became shadowed, "As everyone, I was blackmailed into this by life or death. But I bet that everyone else is here for their own life. I myself am here for not my life, but my old team's life. If I wouldn't have come, every last one of them would have been killed."
Vincent smiled, pulling away from Kylen, "I myself am bothered with how this tournament works."
"Basic survival," Kylen mused, knowing much about it.
"I do not fear for myself, but I fear for my team. As their captain I must be strong enough to take on every demon, but I know that I am not." Vincent mumbled, looking out at the sea.
Kylen's hair blew out behind her, and she closed her eyes, "I used to come out in the night air with my younger sister, but that was before the Council did what they did to me. She hates me now, all because I told my team to never tell her the truth about why I left."
"That was the right thing, I am guessing," Vincent nodded. He then turned Kylen so she was looking straight into his eyes, "Why not join my team for some relaxation for the night?"
Kylen looked out at the sea once again, thinking it over. She didn't want to go back to the room if Team Urameshi was going to be there, even if everyone else on her team were friends with them. She then looked back at Vincent and smiled, "Yeah, sure, why not?"
Vincent nodded, satisfied, "Come on, follow me."
888888888888
Dar sighed, bored out of his mind as he stared out the window, looking for something that was living. The door to their hotel room opened to show Vincent standing there. Dar jumped up off his spot on the floor, "Kelsea, Vincent is back!" He turned to his side, smiling at a demon with long black hair with silver highlights. His eyes were green. "Leon, Vincent is back!"
Leon kept quiet, just looking at Dar. A woman looking the age of twenty-five walked into the room, accidentally tripping over Leon's legs. She screamed lightly as she fell on top of him. Her long blond hair covered her dark blue eyes. She moaned, "I'm sorry, Leon, I didn't know you were sitting here!"
Vincent smiled as he walked into the room, nodding to a small demon that had black stringy shoulder length hair. Her eyes were a blue. "Brittney."
"Who have you brought, Vincent?" Brittney asked, standing up from her spot on the couch.
"Probably another useless demon," The last of the team sighed as he glared at Vincent. His eyes were as dark as the sky, and he had pearly white and wispy as if he had just woken up. His voice sounded like a snake somewhat, and his pupils changed from time to time.
"Count Leon Trej, this is Kylen," Vincent smiled stepping to the side to show Kylen standing there.
Dar ran over to her, "Oh, Kylen! Hey, so good to see you!"
Kelsea smiled as she rolled off of Leon, causing him to blush somewhat, but she didn't notice, "Kylen! It has been twenty long years since I have seen you!" She then turned back to Leon, "This is the demon I was telling you that saved my brother's life, Leon!" She laughed, "Oh, I loved watching her in the ring! She was so graceful!"
Kylen smiled, "So you did watch my matches."
"I told her she could spend some time with us for some relaxation," Vincent stated, walking over to the couch and sitting down.
Dar shrugged, "Suits me just fine. I owe her a night of relaxation anyway."
Kelsea smiled, sitting down beside Leon, "Yeah, I agree." She looked at Leon, "What do you say, Leon?"
Leon blushed lightly, "If you want her to stay, then I agree, she can stay."
Kylen stored every little fact about this team in her mind, knowing that if she went up against them, she would have to spare their lives, just because they were nice to her. She smiled, "I thank you, but I think I should probably go. Remember that there is a meeting tomorrow that you all should attend."
