Chapter Four: Line Ups and the Beginning Match

Kaylo hit Philas' sleeping form, her tail swishing around impatiently, "Come on! Time to get up! We need to go to the meeting!" When he didn't awake, she turned to another bed in the room, holding Lepar. She jumped up on the bed, causing Lepar to quickly jump out of the bed. "Wake up, wake up! Time for the meeting!"

Lepar looked cross, "Kaylo, what the hell do you think you are doing? You are in the guys' room!"

Kaylo smiled, "I knocked on the door, but no one was up! I was waiting for everyone to join me for breakfast, but no one came!" She blinked her eyes, "Did you forget about the meeting that we have to go to? One of the council members said that we should go to it, they said something about new rules."

Rei mumbled in his sleep and rolled on his bed. Kaylo smiled and bounded over to his bed. She then pushed him so he fell off the bed. He whipped open his eyes before he hit the ground and grabbed her, causing her to scream and wake everyone else up.

Harou shook his head, trying to keep awake, "What is going on?"

Kaylo curled up into a ball, scared out of her wits. Rei let her go and put one hand on the side of his head, letting his elbow keep him up, "Kaylo, why did you do that?"

"I needed to wake all of you," Kaylo stated as she came out of her ball, "we have to go to the meeting."

Korihi yawned, "Oh, so you decided to wake us up the hard way, huh?"

"Well, I was going to wake you up the easy way, but Philas wouldn't wake up, and I got bored," Kaylo shrugged, standing up.

Hikari sat in a chair, yawning, "Why do they think that a meeting at this hour will benefit us?"

"They don't, that's what," Yune stated, stretching in her chair, "and why don't they give us comfortable chairs?"

"Because they want to keep us awake, Yune, that's what," Tatsuki shrugged. She then turned to Sasuki, "What do you think?"

"I think this is just a way to see how many there are of us, just so they can figure out how many are going to die," Sasuki shrugged.

Izura rolled her eyes, "I think that you have spent too much time thinking this over." She looked around as other demons started to file in, "And it seems that there is some life here after all!"

After the room had been filled with every team that was going to be participating, the referee walked up in front of them all, standing on a platform, "Good morning, everyone!" She was only three feet tall, her small sprite body energized somehow. She nodded, "I am Kio, and I will be the referee for this tournament."

She spun around, "As you have probably heard, the rules for this year's tournament have changed. Instead of killing your opponent in the ring after beating them, we are taking them away, so no one can witness the deaths." She nodded, "And instead of having an alternate, the sixth fighter must fight as well. The rule still stands that if you win you may stay in the ring until you tag out, but then you are not allowed back into the ring until at least every one of your fighters has fought!"

She jumped up, "A new rule this year is for every fight you win in your match, that takes away one death from your team if you loose. For example, you win two of your fights, but loose your match, only four of your fighters have to die." She nodded, "Oh, and I forgot… Everything goes while in the ring." She then turned to a screen in the room, "If you will look at the screen, it has the line up for Round one."

Round One

Team Scy vs. Team Co

Team Son vs. Team Anoch

Match Three

Team Kylen vs. Team Axe

Match Four

Kio smiled, "Well, there you have it! For the first fight, it shall be Team Scy versus Team Co! The fights shall start at two o'clock this evening, and they shall be only one per day, to give the teams time to recover and or pick up new members if they lost anyone." She then bowed lightly, "Thank you for your time, enjoy yourselves on Tremor Island!" She then walked out, leaving all the teams looking at the schedule.

Iceus shook his head as Cloud put his head in his hands, "Iceus, what are we going to do? We go up against a team full of fire demons, at least demons that can use fire!"

"We improvise!" Tio smiled, laughing at his own words, "Either that, or we train hard and watch the matches to see who will be a threat later on."

Kylen growled as she saw the line up, "Great, not the team I wanted to go against!"

"Well, it could have been us," she turned to see Hiei standing there, looking at her, "then you wouldn't have a chance."

Kylen couldn't help but laugh lightly at that, "You, beat me? That makes me laugh!" Her laughter died though, and she looked away, "But I will make a deal with you."

"It depends," Hiei grunted, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall she was at.

"I will train with you if you watch my match, how does that sound?" Kylen asked.

Hiei looked at her shocked, "Are you serious?" She nodded, and he grunted once again, regaining his emotionless face, "Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes," Kylen smiled.

Across the room, Captain leaned against the wall, his team beside him. He closed his eyes, "My worst fear has come true. We must fight Team Kilo in the first round. If we are to have any chance of winning, we must train harder, team. As we are now, we do not stand a chance against them, and we probably will not either. All we can hope for is that they keep us alive."

"Well, that's reassuring, Captain!" Raven huffed.

Captain looked at him, his eyes holding a secret, "It is the truth, and all of you must face it. If it was any other team, it would be the same with them. They might not have Kylen, but they still have the others."

"You have seen this before," Kaurai stated, closing his eyes, not surprised.

Captain stayed quite, and Bobbie shrugged, "Then I guess we are going to have to train night and day, guys!"

A team stood by themselves, looking at everyone else. A female demon with shoulder length hair that was purple with silver highlights was watching the scene with interest. She had crystal blue eyes with flashes of red sparks in them. She looked at another demon on her team, "Jenga, what do you think?"

The demon had teal hair with gray stands in it that were in beads. He wore a tie-dye bandana and his eyes were teal as well. He rubbed his hands together and nodded his head, causing his one earring in the shape of a pirate ship jingle, "Easy prey, all of them." He looked at another demon that was quite small and had black chin length hair. Her eyes were blue and pupil-less. "Hey, Suzanagi, so, what do you think now?"

"All right, all right, you win, I guess they will be easy prey!" She sighed, rolling her eyes. She then turned to another member of their team, "Setto, what about you?"

This demon was a snake demon. His skin was blue and purple tones with golden highlights and was all scales. His eyes were a dark blue. "I think that they will be easy to defeat, but I think we should spare the females, what do you think, Sora?"

Sora was a demon with dark pink hair that stops just above her shoulders. Her eyes were a light red, and had a lightning bolt mark on her left cheek. She crossed her arms over her chest, "You are such a playboy!"

"I wonder why," another member of their team stated. This demon had long stomach length red hair and a ring of gray. His eyes were black as tar, but they were slits. He was fat and chubby. He smiled, "Our first match is today at two, and against such an easy team."

Another team started to walk out. "Melanie, I don't get it. Why tell us the rules?"

Melanie, a demon that was half vampire and half darkness demon. She shrugged, "Kita, how am I supposed to know?"

Kita was a demon that had long black hair that was usually pulled into a single braid. She had icy blue eyes. Melanie had silver hair with black tips. Her eyes were amber. Another member of their team shook his head. He had white hair and blood red eyes. "Just forget about it, will you?"

A demon with pink hair and dark green eyes laughed, "Why forget about it, Rain? You three can be so…"

"They can be so, what, Jiho?" Another member of their team asked. He had shoulder length sandy blond hair and black eyes. He shook his head as they made it to the main lobby, "You know, I think that we should probably start training again if we are going to beat Team Son."

"Team Anoch can beat anyone that we want to beat, Hanzo," their last team member smiled. He was a tiger demon. His fur was pale with silver stripes. His eyes were a deep green.

"Bayoko, you can be so full of yourself sometimes," Jiho rolled his eyes.

A demon with teal shoulder length hair with black and yellow stars in it reclined out on the couch in his team's room, "Well, that was a huge waste of time if you ask me!" His eyes were pure white.

Another demon from his team sat donw in a chair, "Maruka, you would think anything is a waste of time." He had jet-black hair that was long. His eyes were silver.

Maruka wore a lopsided grin, "Yeah, your point being, Ray?"

"His point being is that you didn't even know the rules yourself, Maruka, and we would have been in trouble during our first match." A demon with long strawberry hair and green eyes was blunt.

"Casper, you didn't have to say it like that!" A demon with light purple hair in a ponytail stated, her dark yellow eyes holding resentment. Her rabbit ears stood out.

"Geez, Haru, you are so flirty sometimes!" A demon with long deep purple hair with shorter tendrils around her bangs, framing her face, rolled her eyes. She had deep crimson eyes, and on her right cheek were two dark orange horizontal stripes.

"Hazami, will you just relax?" A demon with an eye patch over her right eye stated. She had sandy blond hair that was mid-ear length. Her eyes were a blue. Around her pointed ears was a white ribbon.

"Well excuse me, Masamune," Hazami rolled her eyes.

"Girls, girls!" Maruka stated, sitting up, trying to stop that fight that was going to ensure, "Please, can't we all just get along? There is enough of me to go around!"

Ray laughed, "Oh, here we go again!"

Kylen sat against a tree, looking into the forest that was all around her. She knew that the tournament was to start soon, and old habits would die hard. She would watch every fight, find the weakness of every fighter, even if she wasn't going to go up against him or her.

She rolled to her left as something came down from above her. She quickly stood, shaking her head in disappointment, "Now, now, Hiei, is that anyway to start a training session?" She laughed, "You failed. As you will always fail if you do not become increasingly stronger."

Hiei grunted, unsheathing his katana, "Hn."

"Come now, Hiei, please." Kylen rolled her eyes, stretching out. A sense of justice came over her, thinking of Rei. She closed her eyes, backing away from him, "No, we can't do this." As Hiei came at her with his katana, Kylen jumped over him, her mind going blank except for the thought of blood.

She grabbed her head, jumping up into a tree, "Stop, Hiei!"

"You wanted to train," Hiei grunted, lowering his katana.

Kylen shook her head, "Not like this! Not like a real fight!" The urge for blood diminished somewhat so Kylen could think, "Just go, please."

"No, I will not leave you in this state. For all I know, you could go on a killing spree." Hiei stated, jumping up into the tree with Kylen.

Kylen glared at him, "If you are not careful, you will get yourself killed!"

"I'm too quick, you wouldn't touch me if I didn't want you to touch me." Hiei smirked lightly.

Alex jumped away from Yusuke, "You know Yusuke, it isn't nice to hurt a girl!"

"If you think that, then you are not going to survive," Yusuke grunted as he slammed into the ground.

"It seems that she is doing quite fine," Dylis laughed.

"You should keep your concentration on your own fight, Dylis," Kurama stated, using his rose whip to wrap it around her waist.

Kuwabara was sitting on the ground, looking at the forest around him, "Where is Shorty?"

"Hiei is probably off training on his own," Yusuke mumbled as he stood back up.

"Maybe we should go look for him," Kuwabara suggested.

"Maybe we should tie you up," Dylis grunted as Kurama flung her across the clearing they were in. As she was headed for a tree, she screamed, "Kurama! I hate you!"

Kurama's whip wrapped around her waist once again and pulled her back toward him, catching her. He smiled, "Still hate me?"

Dylis glared at him, "Yes!" She pulled out of his grip and pushed him, catching him off guard. Kurama fell backward onto Kuwabara, and as the two struggled to untangle themselves, Dylis laughed, "Revenge is fun!"

"But plotting it is even better!" Everyone turned to see who owned the voice, only to see Kylen standing there, Hiei stuck in a head lock under her right arm.

Kuwabara died laughing at the sight, "Oh, Shorty, what happened?"

Kylen glared at him, letting Hiei go and walking forward, "Would you like to try your odds?"

Hiei smirked, "He would be a waste of your time, Kylen."

"What did you mean plotting revenge is better?" Dylis asked.

Kylen smiled, turning away from all of them, including Hiei, "When my team wins, I am going to wish for this tournament to never be held again. Plus, whoever is my opponent, I will spare their life."

"What is so great about sparing their life?" Yusuke asked.

"If your life is spared, then you owe your opponent something," Kurama stated, standing up and away from Kuwabara.

"A big something," Kylen smiled even more, turning back around, "You owe them your life, that is what, and only if you pay them back in full will your life be spared."

"What are you planning?" Yusuke asked, unsure of it all.

"She is planning to spare the finalists in return for them killing the whole council," Everyone turned to see the teenage form of Koenma. He nodded at Kylen, "Good to see you again, Kylen."

Kylen nodded as well, "Koenma, I told you that you couldn't keep me there, and I was right. I broke out."

"You two know each other?" Yusuke looked shocked.

"Of course they do, you baka! Do you think that we are the only team that they have asked Koenma to send?" Hiei grunted.

"Yeah, Hiei is right, Koenma has sent tons of teams," Kylen laughed. Her laughter died though, "Oh, how I hated beating them all, but the council forced me to. They threatened to kill my team and my sister if I didn't kill them."

"Dyian was a good Spirit Detective, and then he fell in love with you, the one he was supposed to bring in." Koenma stated, putting his hands in his pockets, "He made his choice, Kylen, and you did as you were blackmailed into doing."

"Whoa, other teams for you fought in this tournament?" Kuwabara asked.

"Many times," Kylen grunted, not liking Koenma bringing up the fact that she had killed Dyian.

Koenma shrugged, "But his twin took over for him, and I hear that he is in the tournament as well. Kyian, that is his name. He quit just a year ago, saying that it was no use, that he couldn't be like his brother, he couldn't bring him back." Kylen looked shocked, and Koenma turned away from her, "Oh, didn't you know that he had a twin?"

Kylen furiously shook her head, "He never told me. And then he must be Kyian!" She turned to Hiei, "You knew, you knew and you never told me out right!"

Hiei shrugged, "Well, you see, I did warn you, didn't I?"

Kylen threw her hands up into the air and then screamed before she quickly spun away from all of them and walked away, not looking back. Yusuke watched her go, "What is her problem?"

"She loved Dyian, and she was the one to kill him. When she saw Kyian, she thought it was Dyian, and she thought she had him back again." Dylis sighed.

Keyralin paced the locker room, waiting for them to call for the match to begin. Jenga was leaning against a wall. He smiled, "Easy there, Key, it isn't going to help if you loose it before the match even begins!"

Keyralin turned to him, "You know what to do, right?"

Jenga shrugged, "Of course, when haven't I known?"

"Well, I could name a couple of times," Sora stated, standing up.

Setto shook his head, "Come now, let's just take it easy. If we need to cheat, then we cheat!"

"We always cheat!" Keyralin and Jenga yelled, both spinning to Setto.

Suzanagi laughed, "Yeah, we all have."

"And we will cheat to win!" Pietro McDonali smiled.

Keyralin shook her hands in front of her, "Now listen up, Team Scy is filled with easy prey."

"Rules?" Jenga mumbled, "Anything goes."

Yuzi jumped rope, watching Krystal pace, "Will you relax, we will be fine. This shall be easy."

Nancy threw a throwing dagger at Minia as she stood against the wall, "We all know how to fight, we all know that our lives depend on this, just take it easy, OK?"

Minia spun away from the dagger, catching it and then flipping it into the air, "Besides, we have our weapons to help us, no biggie." She tossed it back to Nancy, "You are a little slow on the flick of your wrist, you might want to speed it up a bit." She then twirled her spear in her hands, "Come on, give it a break, Krystal, we will be fine. We have everything we need to fight."

Koyuki smiled, "Well, I can see this is going to be fight!"

"Team Scy and Team Co, please report to the stadium ring." A voice over the announcement stated loud and clear.

"Come on, enough worrying about this match, it is about to begin!" Youko Raven stated, walking to the door.

There you have it. This is the chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. Once again, I am sorry for the long delay. But don't worry, as soon as I have finished the next chapter, I will try my hardest to get it up and running.
