Chapter Four Fights
Fiox stood before the ship that was to take them to the island where the tournament was being held. She watched every demon walk onboard. She shook her head, "No, not them, no…" She rolled her eyes, "Ah! Where are they?"
"Move out of the way! Tri coming through!" A familiar voice yelled at everyone as demons that were standing and milling around grunted and flew out of the way.
Fiox couldn't help but laugh as a familiar sight met her eyes. A demon pushed her way through everyone, growling as a demon pushed her back. Se had long fire red hair. Her eyes were golden with emerald at the pupil.
"Loner!" Fiox laughed, watching as the demon looked up quickly and then smirked.
Unlike Fiox, this demon wore a tight black sleeveless belly shirt and a pair of really short black shorts. She had a belt like Fiox did, though, and she wore black fingerless gloves. She smiled, "Ah, Fiox!" She ran over to her and tapped her commando boots on the ground. "I thought I would see you soon enough!" She put her fire colored sunglasses over her eyes. On her right shoulder was a tattoo of a black tiger with white stripes, and in her right ear was a golden hoop. She laughed, "Oh, I bet you suspecting someone else, huh? Someone who would come and train with you, eh?"
"Well, I was hoping we would have all stuck together. We are all that we have in this world, you know…" Fiox mumbled.
"Way over your head, young one!" the demon smirked.
"Jav, what are you talking about?" Fiox asked.
"Hiko!" Jav yelled through the crowd. She smiled as a human pushed htrough everyone. Fiox looked startled. He was six foot in height, and his hair was long and white. Jav smirked, "He found me when I appeared."
As he came over to them, Fiox could clearly see that his eyes were purely white. He was wearing silver armor on his shoulders and legs, but his chest was open with a white cape.
Jav smirked, "Huh, I don't understand why he constantly tries to get rid of me though. I mean, he keeps to himself, I keep to myself. We make a pretty good team, don't ya think?"
Hiko glared at Jav, "I told you to just leave me alone!"
Jav shrugged, "See what I mean, Fiox?"
Hiko looked at Fiox, "So you are Fiox, the one Jav has constantly talked about."
Fiox stood tall, but she had to admit that he was taller than her, by quite a few inches. She nodded, "My name is Fiox, and it seems that you have the curse of Jav on your hands."
Jav smiled at both of them, "See, I told you!"
Hiko leaned closer to Fiox, whispering to her, "Watch yourself in this tournament. Dane isn't the only one you will have to watch out for." With those words, he walked onto the ship.
Fiox looked over at Jav, who was watching Hiko disappear from view, "Huh, the company you keep, Loner."
"Hey, I like him!" Jav sighed, looking at Fiox.
Fiox couldn't contain a smirk, "Has the almighty lone wolf found someone?"
"Lone wolf?" Jav growled. "You know I hate it when you call me that! It is more like lone tiger! I am a tiger demon, genius!"
"Hey, take it easy!" Fiox laughed lightly, "It was a joke, Jav, jeez!" She then watched as Jav stomped up onto the deck of the ship, not turning back to say anything. Fiox sighed, lowering her head, "She is such a hot head sometimes…"
"Who, Jav?" Raider's voice filtered through her thoughts.
Fiox looked up to see Raider standing there, his arms crossed over his chest. She smirked at him, "Yeah, Jav. She just exploded in front of me because I said she was a lone wolf instead of a lone tiger."
"You know how touchy she is with those things," Raider shrugged, starting up the walkway to go onto the boat, Fiox right behind him.
"Raider," Fiox mumbled, causing Raider to turn around ad face her. "Raider, what happens if one of us dies? I mean, I know we are strong, but what if one of us makes a wrong move? What if we can't stop Dane from winning?"
"Stop thinking like that, Fiox. We will succeed, don't worry," Raider smiled at her.
"But what if we don't, Raider? What if both of us make a mistake that costs us the future once again?" Fiox mumbled.
Raider laughed, continuing onto the ship, "Relax, will you? You need to settle down. He isn't as strong as he is in the future. We will have no problems, especially with you with us."

Raider grunted as he slouched on a bench, "I don't like the feel of this, Fiox, seriously. Our team isn't staying together. We have all of our own agendas. Boss didn't think this one through, you know that. Bringing Jav back was not a very smart move on his part.
Fiox slouched down beside him, a exasperated sigh leaving her lips, "Yeah, I know, and we still need to figure out who the other one from the future is…"
Just then, her communicator started beeping, causing Fiox's ears to twitch. She quickly clicked it open. Koenma's smiling face appeared, "Fiox, my goddaughter! How goes it so far?"
Fiox stuck her tongue out at him, her eyes narrowing, "You just had to send Jav, didn't you? You know she has never been a true team player!"
"Oh? I seem to remember the same about you." A voice hit Fiox's ears, causing the demon to smile and spin around.
"Kairyo!" Fiox lunged on the character, dropping the communicator, causing Raider to grab it quickly.
"Worried about us, boss?" Raider smiled.
"Very. And Kairyo insisted that she come to inspect your progress and make sure nothing happens to our goddaughter," the future Koenma smiled, nodding.
Kairyo laughed, hugging Fiox back, her golden eyes full of a hidden joy. Her dark brown hair was down, something neither had seen before. "I was worried about you. You know you cannot survive without one of us on your ass about it!"
Fiox pulled away from the wind demon, glaring, "We were doing just fine, Kairyo!"
Kairyo brushed off her clothes, much like Fiox's, "My, my, my, Fiox, a little testy, aren't we?" She then laughed, "I am not to be participating. But my younger counterpart shall be. I am just here to make sure you survive if it comes to that." Her eyes darkened, "I will not see my goddaughter harmed if I can help it. My husband would not approve of it."
"Yeah, boss would have a fit if you let Fiox get hurt under your control," Raider smiled at the hologram.
Koenma nodded, "Now that everyone has been shown, you know what you have to do."
"Assassination attempt tonight on the ship?" Fiox asked like a little child, wishing to use some of her greater skills.
"If you wish it, you can," Koenma nodded, "just make sure that you are not caught or injured."
"Have I ever been caught during one of those missions?" Fiox asked seriously.
Koenma chuckled, shaking his head, "No." He then became serious, "Kairyo, I leave them in your care. Make sure that they survive the hard times ahead. You remember what it was like…"
"But I thought you said that no one but our fathers and Chuu and Dane," Fiox quickly asked.
"I was eliminated before Dane could get his hands on me. All after that is just a wonderful blur with Koenma." Kairyo smiled wistfully as she remembered what her past was. She then shooed the two away, "Now go. Talk to those that are close to you. Bond yourself to them so that you may be able to have them on your side when you fight Dane."
Raider smiled and closed the communicator, nodding, "Alright, I guess so."

A wolf demon rolled her eyes as everyone around her conversed with each other. Didn't they understand that making friends before the tournament was a folly thing to do? They would just have to kill each other in the end.
Someone sped past her, running and screaming something towards another demon looking up at the sky. "Jin! Jin! Why is it you didn't call me? Why didn't you tell me you were entering? I had to find out from someone else!"
The wolf demon grumbled, knowing that to get to her room she would have to pass the group that the little wind demon had run to. Her black wolf ears perked up, the golden tips shining in the sun. She quickly undid the crimson red bandana on her right arm and placed it over her head, masking her ears from view. "Stupid ears, you always have to get all jumpy when a good challenge is around, don't you?" Her tail, the same way as her ears, swished around comfortably.
A smirk came to her face, "Anyone who can contend with such an energetic person must be good in the ring… I might as well go check it out."
As she neared the group, the wind demon turned around, smiling at her, "HIYA! My name's Kaaryu! What's yours?"
The wolf demon looked at the group, her eyebrow rising, "I am known as Jaylen."Kaaryu smiled at her, her pointed ears twitching slightly, "Jin! Jin! Look! We have another friend!"
Jin moaned, shaking his head, "Kaaryu, this is why I didn't tell you about the tournament." He then nodded, "The name's Jin…"
"I am Touya," Touya nodded to her, evaluating her.
Jaylen smirked, "Your evaluation will be off considerably if you are trying to find my weakness right now."
Kathjina giggled as she hugged Touya, "I'm Kathjina, Jin's younger sister…"
"I'm the youngest!" Kaaryu smiled, proud of that fact. Her curly black hair was in high pigtails. Her big blue eyes shinned with eagerness.
Jaylen nodded, her crimson eyes looking over the group, her senses widening to gauge just how much of a threat they would be, "I can see." Her eyes landed on Jin once again, and her tail started to swish back and forth. A small smile came to her face, but it disappeared quickly. She turned away from then, bidding them all good bye before leaving. She then mumbled to herself, "I mustn't get attached! I can't get attached! Forget it! Forget it!"
