Chapter 23... finally... I'm really sorry about this being late so I'll shut up so you can read. But if ya want, please review.

"HIEI! YOKO! Get your tails over here!"

"Sky, take it out on something that's not alive," Cat muttered. "A desk or a wall maybe? Just stop yelling!"

"Hmph. It just so happens that the desk and the wall did nothing to me so why punish them?" Sky paused to crack her knuckles. "Yoko and Hiei are going to get it sooner or later. Might as well be sooner. It's better to just get it over with. For me anyway."

"Well, just shush for a moment and let me get some answers! Okay, Shishi, where are Hiei and Yoko and why were they even here? Oh and why are you here and who else happens to be here?"

"Why ask him?" Sky interrupted. "All we have to do is follow our--meaning my and your-- instincts and we'll find them."

"Then you go. I'll stick with the easy way."

"I have no idea where they are now but I do know why they were," Shishi said bringing the attention back to him. "Yoko said something about this being the place where they aired a certain show or whatever that got canceled."

"Oooh yeah I remember that! He about raised a fit after he had a dream that his favorite show got cancelled. But- did it really get cancelled?" (Ya'll people vote on what you want it to be, I have no idea)

"Of course not. But he thinks that and do you actually think I'm going to be the one to tell him that? Uh, no. I'll keep my life, thanks."

"Ah, just leave them to me!' Sky grinned. "I'll tell Yoko right after I take out all my stress out on them."

"So who else is here?" Cat asked, purposely trying to ignore Sky.

"Lessee… there's me… Rinku, Chu, and… Suzuka. (Suzuki) and I'm-" He paused to spin in a circle looking around himself. "-Not too sure where they went but they're here somewhere."

"Yeah, somewhere."

"For all we know, they could be right above us ready to attack," Sky said. After a second, she looked up. "Uh, never mind." She sighed relieved. "They're not."

Cat blinked. "Yeah, that's because they're behind you."

"Of course. They always are," Sky, said exasperated. (O.O Big word that means: very angry or frustrated, often by repeatedly doing something annoying or in even simpler terms, annoyed.)

"You sound like you don't want us 'round!" Rinku implied. "Yeah, waz up wit tha?" a half drunken chibi Chu asked.

"Great. He's still a drunkard!" Cat exclaimed.

"Am not!" he retorted. A snort came from behind him. "Yeah, he just got kind of high off the soda back there since he couldn't find any sake or something like that," a Suzuka chibi said coming up, thankfully not in a clown suit. (I hate clowns. They're evil. Like Santa Clause.)

"Okay, head count," Cat called. "Line up." All toddlers did so. "Kuwa, Yusuke, Jin, Toya, Yukina, Botan, Shishi, Rinku, Chu, and Suzuka. Dang ya'll keep on multiplying. Like rabbits! But we're still missing Yoko and Hiei…"

"Oo! Oo! I know where they are!" Rinku yelled jumping up.

"Where?"

"Hiding under that desk behind you." He behind Sky who looked very happy. She reached under the desk without looking. Why? No one knows why, but on shows, everyone does it. Everyone in the room besides Sky closed their eyes waiting for a disaster to strike.

And strike it did. A crunching sound was heard, then a scream and then the sound of someone beating the crap out of someone.

When they opened their eyes the scene that played in front of them was sort of what they had imagined with a few differences. Sky was of course beating the crap out of Hiei who had bit her finger. Correction, who was still biting her finger and he didn't look like he was letting go anytime soon. Watching the scene from a few feet away with an innocently amused face was a fully red headed Kurama. (Yoko fan girls sigh in sadness. Kurama fan girls yell with glee. Hiei fan girls… half are like this O.o, some are laughing, some are still trying to picture the scene and the others are screaming with happiness for no other reason than because Hiei was causing someone pain. Me? I'm a little bit of everyone.)

By the time everyone had finished reading the longer than normal authors note; Sky had managed to detach Hiei from her finger and was currently chasing him around with his katana. Not the mini one, the real one. Where she got it, not even I don't know. (Artemis? Artemis: -ignoring me, looking innocent-)

"So I guess we found them."

Sky momentarily paused in her assault on the not so innocent Hiei to turn to Cat. After a "Nah, ya think?" she resumed to scar Hiei for the rest of his life.

Sky finished relieving her stress; a surprisingly undead fire demon was left in her wake. Cat amazingly herded (yes, herded) all the toddlers out of the news place, except for the injured Hiei who was dragged and the drunken-ish Chu who was also being dragged.

They had barely made it out the door when they realized something. "How the heck to we get back to the hotel?"

My muse has been injured but my writer's block is alive and kicking. Sucks right? -sigh- But I have to give you something. I hate feeling like I've lied and wanted to get this out soon but this was all I had ready. I really really tried! That says something right? ... It's not my fault! We've been moving and I've been so stressed lately; give me a break.

Question: How many times does Yoko appear in the Dark Tournament?

East right? I hope so; I tried for an easy one and it was one that just jumped into my head as I'm writing this. Don't hate me please! I'm already starting the next chapter and the weekend's coming so... free time plus internet equals hopefully more time to work on it. Thanks for sticking with me and I hope to speak (type) with you soon. If you don't hate me of course.
