Hey guys! Wow, I never expected to get so many reviews just for the prologue. O.O Yeah, when I saw that, it really made my day . Thank you all for reviewing! (even if one was a flame…why do I always get a flame for trying something new and unusual?) This is another one of my stories that has me and E (rhyme!) in it. She's Yuki and I'm Hikaru.

Responses:

Courtney: Glad you like my idea, unlike SOMEONE who reviewed /cough cough/. I will most likely pair Hikaru with Kurama cause my friend wants to be in here and have Hiei, but thanks for your input anyways!

Deviousangel13: That's one vote for Kurama. That's what most likely will happen (see what I said above). I couldn't choose before, but now I have a solution! Thanks for reviewing!

Inuyumi: Happy? I did your name right. Anyways, don't worry. If you looked at the pairings (and I told you yesterday) that I was gonna pair Kurama with Hikaru, since you want Hiei.

Randomwriter88: A loyal reviewer! Thanks so much for reading my stories! You were the only one to notice where I got that legend thingy from. I couldn't think of how to start it, then I realized that some movie I had had something like this, so I watched the beginning of the second movie again (eventually the whole thing cuz the computer was taken). But yeah, only the first two lines are from the movie. The rest I made up…I think. (selective memory loss…)

Evanescence's Dark Angel: Lol. Yeah, I am pairing Yuki with Jin. E for some strange reason wanted to be paired with Jin. I still don't know why… Well, sorry to say, but I'm most likely going to be picking Kurama only because my other friend wants to be in here. But don't worry, I still haven't officially chosen. .

Kiki: Who's Mary Sue in here? I don't see anyone… And if my characters are believable, then doesn't that mean I'm a good writer? And they are honest, hard-working girls. They are just honest, hard-working STRANGE girls. Lol (that's seriously what we are. My friends and I are strange). I know every other author has done some "dark secret" thing with their stories, but I don't care. I get some of my ideas from other authors and make them my own by adding my own thoughts. Well, anyways, thanks for reviewing.

Titans in the Tournament

Chapter 1

"Come on, Hikaru!"

"Yeah, yeah. Keep your pants on, girl! I'm coming already," Hikaru raced down the steps as the school bell rang, signaling the end of classes.

"Kami, you're slow," Hikaru's sister, Yuki, commented as Hikaru reached her.

"Hey, I'd like to see you run across the school in five seconds," Hikaru countered. Finally catching her breath, she looked around the school yard. It was packed with kids anxious to get home. Some girls were scurrying around frantically trying to find their friends. "Where are Yusuke and Kuwabara?"

"They're still not here yet. Yusuke probably got caught skipping classes by the principal again," Yuki sighed.

"Or worse, by Keiko," Hikaru added and they laughed. Yusuke was always cutting classes. He didn't care if he got caught by some teacher or principal because he had a reputation for being the toughest kid in town, and almost no one dared to mess with him; however, getting caught by Keiko was a different story altogether.

As students dispersed from the grounds, Hikaru and Yuki were quickly becoming impatient as they were waiting for their friends. Their ears perked up when screaming and loud thumps could be heard coming from inside the school doors.

"I'll place my money on Keiko," Hikaru said.

"So would I, if I had any to begin with," Yuki laughed as they continued to watch in amusement as the scene in front of them unfolded.

"Keiko, I was just taking a break!" a tall teenage boy with gelled, raven-black hair shouted as he tried to helplessly defend himself against oncoming attacks from a handbag.

"Taking a break my butt, Yusuke!" Keiko shouted back and struck a direct blow on Yusuke's head.

"Ow! Damn it, Keiko, that hurt!" Yusuke yelled. A taller boy next to him burst out laughing. This boy had red-orange hair that was styled like Elvis Presley's.

"That's what you get, Urameshi," he smirked.

"Oh, you should talk, Kuwabara. I'm the one who cuts classes and my grades are still higher than yours," Yusuke countered, causing Kuwabara to go very red in the face.

"Oh yeah?" Kuwabara's raspy voice cut in. "Who got a higher score on the last math test, huh?"

"Yeah, so what? I hate math," Yusuke shrugged.

"Ugh! Yusuke, you're hopeless!" Keiko shouted in frustration, throwing her arms up in defeat.

"Need any help with these two bakas, Keiko?" Hikaru asked as she and Yuki reached their friends.

"Oh, hi guys!" Keiko's face brightened and she gave the girls a death hug.

"Air…me…need…AIR…," Yuki gasped for air under Keiko's tight grip.

"Oh, sorry," she let go of the girls, embarrassed.

"Jeez, Keiko, you really have to learn your own strength," Hikaru groaned as she rubbed her now sore arms.

"Sorry. And where do you think you're going, Yusuke?" Keiko grimaced and tugged a retreating Yusuke by his ear.

"Ow. Ow! Keiko, that hurts!" Yusuke struggled to get out of Keiko's grasp.

"What, did you think you could skip out on our date for the fifth time in a row?" Keiko scolded.

"Hey, wait a minute. I thought we were all going to go meet Yusuke's friends?" Yuki interrupted.

"What?" Keiko looked confused for a moment before rounding on Yusuke again. "You made plans even though you knew you had a date with me?"

"Well, uh, you see…" Yusuke struggled to find an excuse.

"Keiko, we didn't exactly give him a choice," Hikaru explained.

"Yeah, he mentioned some of his friends who had strange powers like us, and we got a tinny bit excited," Yuki added.

"A tinny bit? You guys got me a detention for being late to fourth period!" Yusuke shouted.

"Well, if you had just agreed to introduce us the first time, you wouldn't have gotten that detention," Hikaru pointed out, folding her arms over her chest.

"Which friends did he talk about?" Keiko asked.

"Suuichi Minamino and this other guy he won't tell us about," Yuki replied.

"I still can't believe that Yusuke Urameshi, the toughest kid in Sarayashiki High, is friends with Suuichi Minamino, the smartest kid within a 50 mile radius," Hikaru shook her head, confused.

"It's a long story of how the two met," Keiko said, "And trust me. We have even stranger friends." Hikaru and Yuki laughed.

"Well, come on. We have to catch up to Suuichi before he gets out of school," Yusuke said and bolted down the sidewalk towards the direction of Mieou High.

"Hey, wait up, Urameshi!" Kuwabara shouted and raced after Yusuke.

The remained girls sighed and calmly followed the boys.

"So, who is this other guy Yusuke wants us to meet?" Hikaru asked.

"I'm really not sure who he's talking about, but I have a hunch of who it might be," Keiko answered.

They arrived at Mieou High just in time to hear the school bell ring. Yusuke and Kuwabara were already waiting by the gates, leaning against the poles and scanning the grounds for Suuichi. Students filed out the doors, scrambling around to find their friends, bikes, etc. Hikaru noticed that a group of girls were gathering around the school doors, whispering to each other as if they had some diabolical plan to blow it up.

"What's with the girls over there?" Hikaru whispered to Keiko. Keiko was spared from answering as a tall, red-haired boy came walking out the school doors. He had brilliant forest green eyes and an elegant stride as he passed the swooning girls.

"Suuichi-san!" they squealed in unison. Suuichi flinched slightly, unbeknownst to the fan girls crowding him.

"How are you today, Suuichi?" one asked.

"I'm fine, thank you," he replied and gave them a reassuring (although not at all convincing) smile. It seemed to satisfy the girls' needs, because they sighed once again and stared dreamily at Suuichi's retreating form.

"I have no idea how you do it, man," Yusuke stared at the girls as they walked by and bade Suuichi goodbye. They didn't bother to acknowledge the others, who either glared or ignored them.

Suuichi sighed. "Yes, I wonder how much longer it will be until I have cameras surrounding my house." Suuichi spotted the two unfamiliar girls. "Hello. I suppose you girls are a friend of Yusuke's?"

"Yep, unfortunately," Yuki answered.

"Hey!" Yusuke shouted and glared.

"Oh, shut up, Yusuke. It's not like you have never wished that you never knew us," Hikaru said. "By the way, I'm Hikaru and that's my sister Yuki," Hikaru pointed to Yuki.

"Hey!" Yuki grinned and rushed over to Suuichi's side. "So tell me. How is it that a smart and cute guy like you ends up being friends with someone like Yusuke, who's totally the opposite?" Yuki held up an invisible microphone to Suuichi's mouth. He stared at her hand.

"Hey, are you calling me dumb and ugly?" Yusuke asked. Yuki ignored him, continuing to hold the microphone to his mouth.

Hikaru sighed and dragged her sister away from the boy. "Leave the poor kid alone, Yuki. He has enough to deal with without you running around getting his life story."

"Hey, let me go-oof!" Yuki landed on her rear with and ungraceful thump. She rubbed her bottom and stood up. "I wasn't trying to get his life story; I was just trying to find out why the apocalypse hasn't come yet." Yuki scanned their surroundings just to make sure she wasn't wrong. Suuichi, Yusuke, and Kuwabara stared at her. Hikaru and Keiko simply sighed in disbelief.

"The apocalypse hasn't come just because Yusuke associates with smart guys. In fact, I think it would run away," Hikaru laughed.

"So, what was your plan for today, Yusuke?" Suuichi asked.

"Well, I did have a date with Keiko today, but when I mentioned you guys, Hikaru and Yuki wouldn't stop bugging me. They even got me a detention!" Yusuke complained.

"Yeah, he said you guys had weird powers, but I guess for you he meant weird brain powers," Yuki joked.

"Yes…well, who else are we going to meet, Yusuke?" Suuichi decided to change the subject.

Yusuke grinned evilly. "I thought they should meet Hiei."

"Hiei? Oh, come on, Urameshi, even they don't deserve to die early," Kuwabara defended the girls from who knows what.

"What?" the sisters cried in unison.

"It seems Yusuke wants to introduce you to Hiei. Once you earn his trust, he's actually a very good friend, although he and Kuwabara are always fighting," Suuichi explained.

"Yeah, but it's almost impossible to earn his trust, especially when he refuses to talk to anyone," Keiko added.

"Sounds like a challenge to me. What about you, Yuki? Up for it?" Hikaru asked her sister.

"Yep. The ultimate challenge: becoming friends with this Hiei dude you guys seemed scared about!" Yuki announced.

Yusuke stared on in disbelief. "Hey, Suuichi, where exactly is Hiei?"

"Well," Suuichi stared up at the trees just as they all heard a rustling in the leaves. "He probably went off to Genkai's; but let's go over to my house first; I need to check in with my mother first."

"Suuichi-san!" some girls jumped from their hiding place in the bushes, startling Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"Kami, Suuichi. You really have to get a grip on your little fan club," Yusuke whined.

"Suuichi, how come you are inviting them over to your house?" one girl asked.

"Yeah, how come you don't invite us over yet you invite two girls you just met?" another complained.

"Yeah, you never know. They could be dangerous and rape you when you're not looking!" the third cried.

Hikaru and Yuki gagged. "Really, is that what your plans for him were? To rape him? In his shoes, even I would feel more secure around us than you."

"And that's saying something," Yuki added, receiving a hard slap from Hikaru. "Ow! Jeez, you don't have to hit me so hard."

"See what we mean, Suuichi?" the first girl pointed to the sisters.

"Yes, but they are friends of my friend, so I think I can trust them," Suuichi waved them off and began walking home.

"Wait, Suuichi, where are you going?" they all cried.

"It's none of your business where we're going, you stalkers!" Hikaru spat and stalked off with Suuichi. Yuki stuck her tongue out at them before following her sister. Yusuke and Kuwabara stared from the girls to their friends before realizing they were being left behind and raced to catch up.

"Really, Suuichi, I think having a fan club full of girls like that is very unhealthy," Hikaru told him and he sighed.

"Yes, but there is almost no way to get them off me," he agreed.

"Keyword almost. You could always go to school with messed up hair or something, or even lie to them and tell them that you have a girlfriend. That always works for me when random boys on the street ask me and my sister out," Hikaru suggested.

"Since when have you ever been asked out?" Yusuke cocked an eyebrow at the girl.

"Since when do you care, Yusuke?" Hikaru countered.

"Since…since now!" Yusuke tried to counter.

"Tsk, tsk. Yusuke Urameshi, toughest kid at Sarayashiki High, can't come up with a simple remark," Yuki teased and shook her head.

"Beaten by a girl!" Hikaru shouted.

"Hey, shut up, would ya? You're gonna make me look bad!" Yusuke tried to stop the girls.

"Oh, relax. You already look bad with that hairstyle anyways, Yusuke," Hikaru said. (A/N: I don't hate Yusuke, ok? Kuwabara, but not Yusuke!)

"What! My hair looks just fine. It looks a lot better than yours!" Yusuke remarked.

Hikaru walked up to a random car and glanced at her reflection in the side-view mirror. Her golden blonde hair looked exactly the same as it did when she brushed it that morning. It cascaded around her shoulders and her bangs slightly shadowed her eyes, which matched her hair.

"Well, let's just see whose hair looks better!" Hikaru turned to Suuichi, her sister, Kuwabara, and Keiko. "Ladies and gentleman-"

"Hey, there's more than one guy here, you know," Kuwabara pointed out.

"How very observant you are, Kuwabara; however, I see only one male in front of me at this particular moment in space and time."

Yuki snickered. "Oh, you're in for it now. She's talking all smart now."

"What? I know I'm right. Me and Kurama are guys," Kuwabara looked at the girls, almost having a smart look about him. Almost.

"Kurama and I," Suuichi corrected.

"Who's Kurama?" Yuki asked.

"Uh…" the boys exchanged glances.

"Hey, guys, we're here," Keiko interrupted. Suuichi's house was on the corner of the street, shaded by a tree next to an open window. A black blur flitted form the tree and through the window.

"What was that?" Hikaru pointed to the window.

"Oh Kami, you're being robbed!" Yuki screeched.

"Don't worry, I'm not being robbed," Suuichi reassured them.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a deep voice from behind made everyone jump. A green, scaly demon towered over the group, glaring down at them as if cornering its prey. Keiko squealed and hid behind Yusuke. He, along with Kuwabara and Suuichi, stood protectively in front, poised to attack.

"What's a demon doing here?" Kuwabara asked.

"A demon?" the sisters stared, astounded.

"How did you get through the barrier?" Suuichi narrowed his eyes dangerously. Yuki and Hikaru gazed back and forth from the boys to the demon and the sudden change in demeanor of Suuichi Minamino.

"That is none of your business. I have simply come for the girls," the demon pointed a long, clawed finger at the girls. They stared at the claw apprehensively.

"What do you want with us?" Hikaru managed to get out.

The demon cackled. "You girls are all I'll need to rule the three worlds." The demon made a move to grab the girls.

"Oh, no you don't!" Yusuke punched the demon in his gut, sending him flying backwards.

"Rose Whiplash!" Suuichi shouted. He suddenly had a long, thorny whip in his hands. With a flick of his wrist, the whip snapped and sliced the demon into tiny pieces which disintegrated in purple smoke.

"Are you girls ok?" Suuichi asked.

"What the hell was that?" Yuki asked.

"I'll explain inside," Suuichi ushered them all inside where a short guy totally covered in black stood. He had black, spiky hair that had a white star burst in the middle. The only things he wore that weren't black were his white belts, scarf, and headband.

"What was that?" the mystery guy asked Suuichi.

"It seems there is a breach in the Kekai barrier. Strangely enough, the demon was after these two," Suuichi pointed to the two girls.

"Who are they?" the little guy asked.

"This is Yuki," Suuichi pointed at Yuki. "And this is Hikaru," Suuichi pointed at Hikaru.

"Ok, you know who we are, now tell us who you are," Hikaru interrupted.

The spiky-haired guy narrowed his eyes and Suuichi sighed. "This is Hiei, another one of our friends."

"Ok, now who's gonna explain what the hell just happened out there and who the hell is Kurama?" Yuki asked suddenly.

A sudden ringing spared anyone from answering as Yusuke reached into his pocket and pulled out some sort of device. He flipped it open and a picture of a toddler appeared on the screen.

"What do you want, Koenma?" Yusuke asked, seeming not at all pleased to answer the call.

A high pitched voice answered, "Yusuke, there was a break in the Kekai barrier! I need you to get over here A.S.A.P.! And bring those two sisters with you!" The screen turned black and Yusuke shut the communicator. "Damn toddler, always bossing us around."

"How does he know about Hikaru and Yuki?" Keiko asked.

"I don't know," Suuichi answered.

A swirling blue void appeared in the middle of the room with a pop. Hikaru and Yuki jumped; everyone else seemed calm.

"What the hell was that?" Hikaru asked.

"Binky breath wants us to go to his office, and you two are coming along," Yusuke smirked and dragged them through the portal.

"AH! WERE BEING KIDNAPPED AND THEIR GUNNA MAKE US DO HORRIBLE THINGS AND THEN THEY'LL RAPE US, KILL US, AND EAT US! AH!" Yuki cried. The others sweat dropped as Suuichi, Hiei, and Kuwabara followed them into the portal, leaving Keiko alone in the house.

"Why do they always leave me out of these things?" Keiko huffed and left, deciding to go back home and wait for them to return.

A/N: For me this is one of my longest chapters: 8 pages! Anyways, so far I have 1 vote for KuramaOC, one for HieiOC, and one to change the parings so it's both HieiOC and KuramaOC. You guys can keep voting if you want, but I will most likely pair Hikaru with Kurama, cuz my friend wants to be in this story and to be paired with Hiei.

Now I have another poll for you guys: What teams do you want to see in the Dark tournament? I'm not gonna follow the rules of the last one where there were five people per team. This time I am just gonna have a random number of people and some of them won't be equal maybe, and I am gonna change the rules just a tiny bit, but it won't make a big difference. I am gonna use Chu, Jin, Touya, Rinku, Shishiwakamaru (long name!), Suzuki, and a mystery person (you all should know him). Those are just some people I want to use, but I don't know what teams to do. So yeah. I'll give you guys the choice to pick teams. (I already have Yusuke's team done) Now please review!
