Author's Note: Hehehe. I am so very sorry for the latest update that I have made. So very sorry. I kind of forgot that I had a story to write because I kind of explored the world of fan fiction. I read about 50 stories in the last month and forgot to write. I am so sorry.
Oh to all reading this please also read my other story with Hiei as the star. It is entitled "The Dark Dragon Sword". It is set after this story actually but it won't give away any spoilers. And I'll probably update that later this week.
Oh and do any of you know a good Harry Potter/ Yu Yu Hakusho story with Remus Lupin as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I can't find a good one.
Well let's continue with the fic then.
The first round begins as Team Urameshi fights with the mysterious Team Z. Who the heck are those people? Let's go and find out but before that………………..
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This story I do own and what else…….of course my ideas.

Everyone was waiting at Team Urameshi's room for the start of the fight.
"Yusuke have you decided on how are we going to fight Team Z," Kurama asked the ex-detective sitting on the couch with his arms crossed on his chest.
"As always Kurama, a one on one fight until we have 4 wins," Yusuke said. He had his eyes closed and didn't open them to answer Kurama.
"But what—″ Kurama was cut short by an announcement of Koto.
"Would Team Urameshi and Team Z please report to the ring area. And Juri get over here!"
"Well looks like its starting."

Koenma was nervous. He didn't tell his friends that they were fighting the people they were meant to save after winning this tournament. Even Hiei didn't know because he blocked out Hiei's Jagan.
He followed everyone to their side of the ring and waited for the introduction.
Suddenly he felt a strong amount of Demon and Spirit Energy. He looked around and guessed that everyone felt it too.
"Did you guys felt that," Kuwabara asked.
"Yeah," Yusuke said.
"But I also sense Spirit Energy" Genkai said.
"Why would they have Spirit Apparitions on their team," Kurama asked Koenma.
"I don't know," he tried to keep his answer short and discreet.
Before anyone could say a word again, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"And now the reigning champion of the Tournament, team Urameshi!"
The doors opened and they came out.
"Kiss that title good-bye Team Urameshi!"
"You are going to die here and now!"
"Man can these demons get more annoying," Kuwabara said.
But none of his teammates were paying any attention to the crowd. Their eyes were gazed upon their opponents on the other side of the ring.
All 7 of them were wearing hooded cloaks. Their hoods were up so nobody could see their faces.
"Captains, please step forward," Juri said.
"Alright!! I'm as excited as ever even though this has to be the shortest tournament to date the excitement is still there for the first match!" Koto said from the sidelines.
"Alright, what kind of fight are we going to have gentlemen," Juri asked the two fighters in front of her.
"Well, I'm fine with one on one," Yusuke said.
"How about 2 fights, 2 against 2, while one fight 3 on 3," the hooded figure opposite Yusuke said.
"Wait a minute! This guy's voice is familiar," Yusuke thought. He looked at his teammates for help but not about the strategy but for the identity of the fighter.
"One fight 3 on 3 while two fights 2 on 2. That sounds fine to me," Kuwabara said.
Kurama on the other hand thought the same thing Yusuke did. "Don't you think that guy's voice is familiar?"
Yusuke sighed and looked back at Juri and the captain of team Z.
"Fine those terms are fine with me," Yusuke said giving in. "But let's start with 3 on 3 battle."
"Alright."
"Then it's settled we will have 3 fights for the first round. The first match will put 3 fighters against 3 of the opponents then the next battles will be 2 on 2." Koto literary shouted to her microphone.
"Alright who wants to fight first?" Yusuke said returning to his team.
"I'm in," Kuwabara said.
"How about this: Kuwabara, Yusuke and Genkai go fight first. Since they have experienced fighting together in the previous tournament, they are our best bet for this one." Kaira suggested.
"That's fine with me," Yusuke said.
"Alright," Genkai said.
"But still, we have to be cautious. We don't know what are enemies have in store," Kurama said.
"Don't worry, even if they are full of surprises, I think we can handle them," Yusuke said. Then he noticed Koenma wasn't listening in the conversation but instead was eyeing the opposing team.
"Hey earth to Ko—I mean Jericho," Yusuke said. "Do you have any plans on listening in on the strategy or are you just going to stand there and let us fight your battles for you."
That snapped Koenma thoughts back to them. "Sorry."
Kurama on the other hand senses something bigger. "Do you know who are opponents are?"
All eyes where now on Koenma. Since his face was covered no one could see how Koenma was reacting to Kurama's question.
"Unfortunately, those are the people we are supposed to protect from harm."
Everyone had a surprised look on their faces. Hiei then turned his into anger.
"You man Mukuro is one of them?"
Koenma sighed. "Yes Hiei. Mukuro is one of the fighters in Team Z. As the rest."
Yusuke, in anger, took Koenma by his collar. "Why are you just telling us this now?" Yusuke bellowed at Koenma.
"Would the three fighters for each team please step forward."
Yusuke wasn't releasing Koenma.
"Yusuke." Kurama said.
Still Yusuke did not move.
"Dimwit, you can interrogate him later. Right now we have a match to fight," Genkai said, making her way to the ring. Kuwabara followed.
Yusuke glared at Koenma for a second then he shoved the prince backwards sending him to the ground before following Genkai and Kuwabara.
He jumped unto the ring. Then he said, "Did you think we would back out if we knew?"
Koenma didn't say anything. He just stared at Yusuke.
"Hmph. Figures as much. I never give up on a fight." Yusuke then turned his head to face Koenma then he gave him a thumbs up. "Count on that." Then he made his way were his two teammates stood.
Even though nobody could see, Koenma smiled. He pulled himself up from the ground.
"I always knew I could count on you Yusuke."

Fuzen was sitting in the used to be VIP room.
"Those dead humans had very good taste," Fuzen said to his teammates. He was the only one seating while the rest were still standing.
"I still can't believe that a human could own demons and make them fight in this tournament." Fuzen said. "Why did you give in to such a thing Toguro?"
Fuzen then settled his gaze on the shortest fellow on his team.
"Sakyo was different from the other humans, Fuzen. He was a mad man." Toguro smirked.
"Yes, just like you I presume," Fuzen said then returning his gaze back at the ring.
"Just like me? Please I was in another league," Toguro said.
"Well I know how you like to torture beings. Just wait a little longer and our fight will be next."
