I'm BACK! Cha and I'm ready to write another chapter. I'm avoiding doing Spanish homework. Hehe…. Hope y'all enjoy.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kat growled as the door bell rang. Yes, she and Hiei had come back into the house, but only because it was pouring buckets of rain outside.
"Who the hell are you?" Yuskue's voice came from the front door.
"I could ask you the same question punk." A female voice retaliated. It sounded older and more mature though.
"The name's Yuskue Urimessi."
Who ever was at the door gave a snort. "The spirit world detective. What are you doing here?"
"Work. How'd you know who I was, and who are you?"
The girl laughed. "Who doesn't? Why aren't y'all at the new tournament in Makai, though? It's supposed to be really big."
((A/N: Okay y'all are gonna see this from where Yuskue is seeing the scene))
A girl with silver blue eyes, white cat ears, and black hair with almost a lightning bolt shaped strip of white stood leaning in the door way.
"New tournament?" Yuskue asked. "Koenma hasn't said anything about it." Yuskue stated to think about possible reasons that Koenma or even Botan hadn't mention a tournament. He seemed to forget about the person at the door.
After about a minute of silence, she interrupted the boy's thinking. "Uh.. can I come in?" She asked.
Yuskue jumped slightly looking at her. "Sure, just as soon as you tell me you name."
She laughed softly. "My name's Rain. I'm Kat's older….half sister maybe…" Rain trailed off. Yuskue looked at her for a moment, then yelled.
"HEY KAT, SOME CHICK IS HERE SAYING SHE'S YOUR SISTER!" Kat appeared a moment later, glaring at Rain.
"Ah, little sister, I see you've made new friends. Good for you." Rain said smoothly.
Kat's expression didn't change. "I see you haven't." She retorted to her sister. Rain's smile didn't falter, but her eyes hardened.
"Where's your partner in crime?" Rain said glancing around. "Her house seems pretty empty."
"Yeah, especially without her in it." Kat snapped.
Yuskue had been backing away from the two arguing cat demons and incidentally he's run into Hiei. "What's up with those two?" He asked. Kat and Rain were still arguing.
"Hn." Hiei replied. The sudden raise of voices caught the two's attention again. Kat and Rain were yelling and baring fangs and claws. This seemed to draw everyone to the front of the house.
"Who's that fighting with Kat?" Keiko asked nervously watching the two.
Dawn looked board. "It could possibly be Rain. But we ban her from the premises."
"Why would you do that?" Yukina asked quietly. It seemed like a kind of mean thing to do to someone's sister who lived with you.
"Cuz she's a hoe and she shouldn't be here." Kat said as she leaped back.
Rain frowned. "Now why's that?" She put on an innocent face. "Just because I had some fun with Midnight's little brother and his friend is no crime."
Dawn and Dream snarled at the same time. "You had 'fun' with our twins huh?" The former growled.
Dream took a threatening step forward. "Yeah, sure, fun. Locking yourself in a dark room with them, so you could fulfill your sexual pleasures must have been real fun."
"Wait," Kuwabara interrupted. "What happened?"
Dawn sneered. "What does it sound like? She raped Nightmare and Dusk."
"The hoe likes younger guys, because she can't pick up any of her own." Dream added. "You'd better keep your dirty paws off my boyfriend. If you touch him ever again, I swear to God I'll kill you."
Rain raised her eye brows. "Your boyfriend?"
Dawn and Dream continued to harass, insult and threaten Rain while Kat had backed away with a disgusted look on her face. "I can't believe that whore will show her face here. Midnight would have killed her in an instant. She fuckingknows that."
"Then why would she risk coming?" Hiei asked flatly.
"She's a total idiot." Yuskue offered.
Kat shook her head slightly. "Not likely. But it's either that or…" The girl trailed off.
"Or what?" Yuskue asked.
"She knew Midnight wasn't here." Kat finished the statement. Yuskue, Hiei, and the rest of the group((A/N: I don't feel like naming them all)) watched as Kat walked up to Rain point blank and smacked her in the face.
Kurama, who was just now showing his face, looked slightly confused. "What's going on?" He asked.
'He looks tired. Older. He really cared a lot for that girl.' Hiei thought. "Kat's sister showed up, and Kat believes that she knows something about Midnight." The fire apparition stated simply.
Kurama's eyes widened a fraction. "But Kat says she's not supposed to be here because she raped Nightmare and Dusk." Yuskue stated.
Kat walked calmly back over to them. "Would you guys be willing to go fight in the tournament of Dark Paradise to win Midnight back?" She asked casually a very forced smile on her lips. Yuskue, Hiei, and obviously Kurama nodded. "Good, good. That's four, we need three more."
"Seven to a team?" Kurama asked.
Kat nodded. "This is different than the Dark tournament. There's seven to a team, one replacement, and the prize is a person. Whoever the person who organized the tournament chooses." She snarled. "And this time the prize is Midnight."
"We're going on a rescue mission?" Kuwabara shouted. "I'm in."
Ria stepped up. "I'm coming too. Midnight is my friend, and I want to fight to save her."
Kat nodded gratefully to them. "Two more." She murmured. Then glared at Dawn and Dusk as they stepped forward. "You know how badly your sister would hurt me if I let you fight on my team?"
"You want us to form our own team?" Dawn asked.
Kat shrugged, nonchalantly. "I can't be blamed for it if you do."
Dawn nodded curtly. "Will do."
Kat turned back to Yuskue, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Ria. "Where are we going to get two more members?" Yuskue asked. Everyone feel silent thinking. None of the other girls would be able to fight. None of the guys would let them. And the twin, twin terrors(Dusk, Dawn, Nightmare, and Dream) obviously weren't being allowed to fight on the team.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Kassandra asked as she burst through the doors, closely followed by Josh.
Kat grinned sweetly. "We just found the sixth and seventh members of our team."
"WHAT?" Kassandra snapped about half an hour later, when Kat, Yuskue, Hiei, and Kurama, had repeatedly explained the situation. "YOU GUYS ARE NUTS RIGHT?"
Yuskue sighed. "You're hopeless." He proclaimed turning to Josh. "You get it right?"
Josh nodded slightly. "When do we leave?" He asked.
"Soon." Kat murmured. "The tournament starts in a month."
"We need to train some first." Hiei added. Yuskue, Kurama, and Kuwabara nodded in agreement. This was important that they win. Midnight's life depended on it.
"See y'all in a month." Kat said turning and heading out of the house without another word. Hiei nodded slightly following the girl.
Yuskue looked towards where Rain was now finally dragging herself off the floor. "Damn little bitch'll pay for hitting me." The cat muttered under her breath.
Yuskue grabbed the front of the girl's shirt, dragging her roughly to her feet the rest of the way. "Listen. You're not welcome here. Kat, Midnight, and everyone else here have become good friends of mine, and I don't like to see my friends hurt. Understand?" Rain's eyes were filled with fear as Yuskue shoved her towards the door. "No get out, and don't come back unless you want me to snap your neck myself." And Rain ran.
"A bit defensive now aren't you Yuskue?" Kurama asked. A hint of a smile lit his face. The first anyone had seen in the last two weeks or so.
"Yeah, yeah." Yuskue muttered. "Let's get to training. We need to kick ass in this tournament."
ONE MONTH LATER
The team stood waiting for a portal that would take them to the dock for the ship in Demon world.
Kat stood leaning against Hiei, his arm protectively around her waist off to the side, away from everyone else. "Are you ready for this?" He asked her quietly.
"Are you kidding me?" Kat replied. "I'll never be really truly prepared to fight when someone's life is on the line if I loose. But, I don't have much of a choice but to get used to it, huh?"
Hiei tightened his grip on her slightly. "Yes, you will. But, with how hard you've worked in the last month, I doubt there will be much competition."
Kat grinned. "Of course not. We'll kick ass."
"HEY, YOU TWO LOVE BIRDS! LET'S GO, OR WE'LL MISS THE BOAT." Yuskue yelled about half way through the portal.
"Oh, hell no!" Kat exclaimed, bolting towards the portal, Hiei on her heels.
