Here. I give you... The Dark Tournament... This will NOT be what you'd expect so... expect nothing...
Chapter 8:
"Hello Blood thirsty audience!" Koto, the Dark Tournament referee yelled into her mic. She stood on a huge, round stage. Many teams of five or six stood around the stage. Team Urameshi stood in the center with Koto. "Please welcome back your Champions from last year!" A few demons applauded, but basically, there was silence. One demon yelled, 'Boo' but he was beheaded by the person sitting next to him. Nice.
"Four of the original five are back: Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, Hiei Jaganshi, and Kurama! I have no idea what his last name is! " Juri, the other referee said into her mic.
"How the hell did she figure out my last name!" Hiei questioned.
"You don't want to know!" Koto said in her usual, cheery voice. "But, in place of the masked fighter, AKA Genkai, there are two others! Please welcome Ailias and Lee! Ailias is the taller one, and the vertically challenged one, though she is not as vertically challenged as Hiei, is Lee!"
"Don't you shut up?" Ailias asked the referees.
"No, they don't." Kurama told her.
"Genkai was on the team?" Lee asked Hiei.
"Yes, she was. Then she died." Ailias and Lee stared blankly at the team.
"But then Koenma brought her back!" Kuwabara said. Ailias snapped out of her trance, but Lee still stared blankly.
"NOW!" The referees said at once, "Let's get this party started! First up, Team Urameshi verses Team Helena!" Team Helena stepped onto the stage. There were four males and one female. No need to guess who the captain was. "Decide the terms for your battle!"
"Well," The team captain said. "Shall we have one on one battles? Five of them. Or we can have six and one of our people fight twice."
"We'll have five, we just have to decide who the alternates are." Yusuke told her. The group huddled around.
"How should we decided it this time?" Kuwabara asked.
"Rock, paper, scissors?" Kurama suggested.
"Oh, no. You two tricked me last time with that, you aren't fooling me again!" Hiei assured. Kurama and Kuwabara smirked.
"Rock, paper, scissors it is!" Yusuke said. Hiei's head drooped. "Hey, you said you've played it before! You still remember, right?" Hiei nodded. "Good, you two know?"
"Well, duh!" Lee and Ailias said at once. Everyone threw their hands in the middle.
"Rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT!" They all said. All of them chose rock except Kuwabara. He chose scissors.
"Well, that was quick!" Lee said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Well?" Helena team captain said impatiently.
"Well, Kuwabara just lost at rock, paper, scissors, so…. Everyone else will be fighting." Yusuke informed her. She nodded. "Now, we just have to decide who goes first…" The other team did some sweat droplets.
"Now how do we decide it?" Ailias asked. "Hm. Should we beat the crap out of each other and who ever is left standing fights?"
"That kinda defeats the purpose of the other team being here…" Kurama said.
"Yeah, it does… Hm…" Lee scribbled on some paper. She laid the pieces of paper on the ground, face down.
"Yusuke, pick a slip." She commanded. He did. It read, Kurama.
"Kurama, you're up," Yusuke said. Kurama nodded. Everyone got off the stage until there were two people left. Kurama, and some dude by the name of Slither.
"Ready?" Koto asked the competitors. They nodded. "BEGIN!" and so they did. Kurama unleashed his Rose Whip. He quickly flipped behind Slither and hit him in the back with the whip. Slither fell over.
"That all you got?" He asked, getting up. "I read all about you guys, with exception of the females over there. Actually, the tall one's kinda cute."
Ailias scoffed. "NO HE DID NOT!"
"Take your eyes away from her." Kurama warned Slither.
"Oh don't worry, I'm more interested in you, and the color of your blood!" He disappeared, then reappeared infront of Kurama. Kurama wrapped his whip around the demon's arm and pulled hard. Blood splattered out from his arm. "Aw, cmon. Transform into Youko. Make this fun for me." Kurama lifted an eyebrow. He began to swing around his whip. "This is boring…" Kurama stopped swinging. His hair suddenly changed from red to silver. Fox ears appeared on his head. Basically, he turned into Youko Kurama.
"Kurama!" Hiei warned. "It could be a trap." Youko glared back at Hiei.
"You worried?" He said, suddenly smiling. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"More like it!" Slither said, changing into something more gruesome than his breath. (That's pretty bad. He looked pretty bad too.) Youko lifted an eyebrow.
"What? Does making yourself ugly make you powerful? Well, then I guess they'd need to make a new class for you. How's 'beauty school' sound?"
"Oh, hilarious!" Slither said, charging at him. His claws grew a bit. He was ready to strike, but stopped dead in his tracks. A few seconds later, a red blossom extruded from his abdomen. His mouth hung down. Youko walked over to him and shut it.
"Now, it's not that surprising." His hair flickered back to its usual red. He hopped down off the stage. No one gets Kurama angry, and no one insults Ailias like that when he's around. She hates being called 'cute'. He thought.
Random Break Through Moment.
KJ: I like orange juice.
Niki: Well bully for you.
KJ: Especially when there's no pulp…
Niki: Aren't you special?
KJ: I'm getting negative vibes…
Niki: I'd be happy if there weren't any vibes.
KJ: You OK?
Niki: NO! My father is my monkey and my monkey is brother and my brother is my mother and my mother is the son of an ape!
KJ: . … You wanna run that by me again?
Niki: Wah…
KJ: Orange juice?
Kitty: No, I'm allergic. What up?
KJ: Niki has monkey issues. I think it's best to let her be…
Niki at a far away distance, though she is still audible: And that ape, was ME!
Kitty: I see… RUN!
Niki: May the blue bird of happiness fly up your nose!
Kitty: That's my line!
Niki: I had a seizure!
KJ: HEY! Don't you dare start telling a story that starts and ends with having a seizure! That's ALL me!
Niki: Then who am I!
KJ and Kitty together: QUIT QUOTEING KUWABARA!
Ahem. Yes, well… BACK TO DUH STORY! Well, the rest of Team Helena was defeated just as easily. Man They SUCKED! So, the guys went back to the hotel room after chasing down Kuwabara who decided to steal every third person's soda. That is, every third person in the audience… Kurama was the one who got him. Man did Kurama look winded! Why? Dunno… he just did.
In Their Fancy Pantsy Hotel Room:
"Nice Kurama!" Lee yelled, putting her hand in the air, expecting a high five. Kurama walked right past her. She put her hands on her hips and glared. "Rude much?" Kurama collapsed on the couch. He stared at the ceiling in a daze. Ailias leaned over the couch, so Kurama could only stare at her up-side-down face.
"You OK?" The up-side-down Ailias asked.
"Tired…" He answered.
"Well, G'night then!" She said, flipping over couch. She heard a crack as she landed on the cushions. She stood up, revealing that she did indeed land on Kurama's legs. He squinted in pain. "OHMYGAWD!" She yelled. Everyone's attention was pulled towards her. "IAMSOSORRY!" He bent over to make sure his legs weren't crushed. She stroked his head. "Are they broken?"
"Doubtful," He said, kinda forcing it out. "Sprained? Bruised maybe…" Ailias glomped him.
"Sorry!"
"Can't-breath!" She let go, gasping.
"I'm so-" He placed his index finger on her mouth.
"Don't worry about it." Ailias looked like she was getting ready to burst. She stood up quickly and rushed into the kitchen. She gathered what seemed to be random objects.
"Ailias? What are you doing? And, more importantly, is it gonna hurt?" Ailias rushed over to his side with clothes and little pieces of wood.
"I'll fix you up! I will! I'M SORRY BABE!" Kurama backed up little by little as she continued her rant about how she'd make him better, then. Wait. Did she say…? Did she call him…? Kurama shook his.
"Did you just call me babe?" Ailias gasped.
"I'm sorry!" Kurama sighed. This was gonna take awhile…
KJ and Niki signing off! Hee, enjoy the… STUFF! The… uh… what's the word I'm looking for? AH! Hell with it, his name was Steve. Sorry, couldn't help it. Blooper from the Ruroni Kenshin DVDs… heh… anywho, I'll probably remember the word at like, 2… SEES YAS! Da current time is 9:38 and 21 seconds, 23, 25, 27, 28, … uh… hell with it…XD
