The Dark Tournament

Yusuke laid down on a rock with Koenma as they saw the spirit gun bullet fly into the air. Yusuke had just finished his little conversation with Koenma and they were starring up into the sky. The Yusuke stood up and looked at Koenma, "Hey Koenma?"

"Yes Yusuke?" the teenaged lord asked with his pacifier bobbing up and down in his mouth.

"The team is going to need another member so we can compete."

"Oh," Koenma said and looked at the ground his eyes closed, "I have already found a replacement."

Yusuke looked at Koenma, "Well? WHO?"

Koenma looked at Yusuke and sighed, "She's right behind you."

A little while later

Kuwabara was talking to everyone around him so he could show his new sword, everyone was there except for Genkia. When he asked where she was Yusuke said she was sick. Suddenly they heard an 'ahem' from behind them.

They all looked behind them and saw a shadow leaning one leg against the stonewall and her arms were crossed over her chest. Kurama looked at the girl surprised and felt like he should know this girl and that she should be special to him. When Hiei saw the girl he felt something in his chest start to swell.

Yusuke smiled, "Guy's since Genkia is sick right now this will be her replacement. I would like to introduce to you…Fire Vixen."

The figure stepped out of the shadow and they all saw a woman at the age of eighteen with long golden hair that went down to the waist. Her eyes were like golden sapphires that shinned in the starlight and she was fit and thin. She wore golden baggy pants and golden shoes that looked like Genkia's. She also wore a golden untucked tank top that went a little over the rim of her pants and a light yellow coat that stretched to the ground and hugged her arms. The collar of the coat was folded up and was larger then normal collar (or folds whatever their called) so people beside her couldn't se the side of her face. Her lips were glistening with gold coloured lip-gloss and her eyes also had light golden eye shadow on them. Her ears were also pointy and a slight higher on her head then normal but he barely noticed this.

Kurama's eye's widened as a baby with golden hair ears appeared before his eyes wrapped in a blanket. A boy with silver hair and golden eyes was holding the baby and the boy was sitting on his lap. He also saw a woman who seemed to be eighteen looking at him and smiling with a baby in a boy's arms with silver hair and ice blue eyes who was on the girl's lap. The baby had silver blue tinted hair and ears and her eyes were deep blue.

Yusuke looked at Kurama and so did Fire Vixen, "Hey are you alright there Kurama?"

Kurama? The girl thought looking at the boy in front of her.

Kurama shook his head and looked at Yusuke with a smile, "Yes Yusuke, I'm fine," he looked at Fire Vixen again, "Have we met before?"

She shrugged, "I don't think so," Hiei did all he could to remain his calm composure when he heard the pureness in her voice. He looked away and started to leave the group.

"Hey Hiei," Yusuke said when he noticed the demon walking away, "Where are you off to now?"

"Hn, to train you fool," was his only answer as he started to leave but Fire Vixen appeared in front of him smiling.

He jumped back and looked at the girl in front of him. Fire Vixen smiled a little at him, "I don't see how you are going to train with your arm the way it is."

"It's fine," he said looking at it, "I just…"

"Needed to punish it," Fire Vixen interrupted him, "I heard the whole thing." Hiei looked at her as she took his arm and raised her other hand over it. Her hand began to glow a golden colour and his arm was instantly healed from the self-inflicted injuries.

The little fire demon looked over his arm and then up at her, "How did you do that? I couldn't sense even the slightest amount of spirit energy from you! Even when you were healing my arm!"

She just continued to smile, "I can just hide my energy very well…even when I use it."

She looked at Kurama, "You have trouble turning into your other form right?" He nodded a little, "Follow me. I want to talk to you about something in private. Don't worry I wont bite." With that she walked away and Kurama followed her interested on what she was going to talk about. He was also curious about the glimpse of what ever he had seen when he heard the girl's name.

They appeared in a clearing and she turned around to look at him showing him a bottle with some kind of liquid inside that looked like water, "This has been tested before and I do know the side-effects."

"What is that?" the teenager asked looking at the liquid.

The girl held a golden-chained necklace in the other; "This will suppress the side-effects until you take it off. If you take it off there might be a chance that you can accidentally turn into you other self. The potion takes affect in two minutes and last for a day. After that you other self can pop up at just about any time for at least three months."

Kurama took the necklace and the potion from the girl and looked at them. He then noticed that the chain was holding a clear pendant and he heard the girl talk again, "If pendant becomes smoky while you are wearing it, it means that it is time to turn into your other self, or, your demon form. When you take it off your demon form will get out and stay out for the amount of time you supposed stay in until you put the pendant on again or your time wears out. After the first day your changes won't be a daylong. The time will be varied on how long you stay out, from half an hour to twelve hours. Oh and take one normal sip not a gulp and only one sip."

Kurama looked up at the girl and saw that she was walking away, "Wait!" She stopped but didn't turn around, "Why are you giving me this?"

Fire Vixen still didn't turn around but reached for something in her pocket as she looked down at the ground. Kurama could smell teardrops coming from the girl, "I thought you said you would remember." Kurama watched the girl carefully, "You told my mother you wouldn't forget." With that she disappeared into the forest leaving the confused fox demon behind.

What did she mean by that? Suddenly he held his head as he began to glimpse something else.

Flash back

Nakada thought for a second, "I guess I would be kind of surprised but if it were me I would do it while I was still little that way it would be less stressing."

Yoko chuckled and tilted his head so it was leaning on hers, "I might just do that."

"Now I have a question for you," Yoko looked at her, "Would you forget anything?"

"Of course I wouldn't! Where did you get a thought like that?"

Nakada smiled, "Just wondering because I can forget if I want to and I was just wondering if you would forget anything if it came to that."

Yoko smiled, "You don't have to worry about that."

End Flashback

Why am I getting these glimpses as if they're memories? Kurama thought as he looked out the window of the room the team was staying in when he returned. He pressed his hand to his head as it began to hurt and he saw other things that he swore he had never seen before in his life. He shook his head as he pushed the images down. I can't deal with this now. He looked at the potion Caralama had given to him and the one Sazuka had given to him. She knows the side effects to this one and knows how to over come them. The one Sazuka gave me I don't know anything about…but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try and test it out. I need a way to stay in my Yoko Kurama form and stay that way until the match against Karasu is over.

With Hiei

Hiei had reluctantly stopped his training when he heard a beautiful voice come from the woods. He followed it until it had stopped but still continued to pursue the voice in the direction it had come from. He stopped running just at the edge of a small clearing to see Fire Vixen sitting on a small, flat rock. She seemed to be looking at the ground and then her head shot up. Her hand went to her face and she called, "Are you just going to stand there Hiei? Or are you going to come and talk to me?" She turned her head when she lowered her hand with her usual smile that made Hiei think he recognized it but he didn't know where. She continued to smile, "Or are you going to leave?"

Hiei hned and walked over to her becoming aware of the scent of tears. He sat on the rock and looked at Fire Vixen but saw she was somewhere else with that smile on her face. Only this time he realized it was a sad smile, "Why were you crying?"

She looked up at Hiei as if surprised that he had stayed but smiled, "Just thinking about my father," she looked down at the ground, "He died fifteen years ago and I was the cause of it," he looked at her surprised though it didn't show on his face. She looked up to the starry night sky, "My siblings and I were playing hide-and-go-seek-tag. Our parents were it and I went to far from them. A demon came and tried to kill me, but my father took the bullet that was poisoned heavily. He killed the demon…but…he couldn't heal himself…even with his new abilities. I stayed with him in his arms until he sent his soul out of his body into another. Before my older brothers were even heard of he had told my mother that if he did do that…he would come back after ten years."

Fire Vixen looked back down to the ground tears streaming down her cheeks, "He always said he loved us and he wouldn't know what he would do if he lost one of us or one of us hated him. That was actually his dieing words. Before his soul left I swear I could have heard his voice saying, 'I will always protect my love and children'."

Hiei looked at the girl and saw that she was crying and didn't know what to do at all. He looked at the ground and said the most stupid thing ever, "You really are gullible and stupid to think that." Fire Vixen looked at him surprised her tears stopped coming and Hiei looked straight ahead, "Your father was a demon if I'm not correct since you obviously have the looks for it. If that is so then I doubt he cared about you if you and your family has waited fifteen years when he said he would return after ten."

Fire Vixen sighed as she wrapped her arms around her and hunched over as if cold, "After the tenth year my mother seemed to be waiting, we all were actually. But days turned into weeks and weeks turned into two months. One day we woke up and mother had disappeared without a trace. We figured she is somewhere sleeping; this hasn't been the first time for this to happen to my kind. The thing is…we really need our father more then ever now if we are to find her."

She stood up and walked away to leave and Hiei noticed this, "Where are you going?"

She turned around and he saw that there was fire in her eyes, "You know Hiei," she said coldly, "I have never told anyone that so which means I must be stupid and gullible to have told someone I have just met. So I thought I would be stupid and gullible somewhere else where people won't criticize my feelings." The angry girl turned around and walked off into the forest leaving a stumped Hiei behind.

"What did I do?" he asked himself aloud…and all of the animals around in the trees that had been listening to the conversation did an anime fall for the trees (That didn't really happen by the way.)
