AN: Well, as stated in the last chapter, the Dark Tournament actually begins this time. Also, Lilly and Oliver gets a really big surprise here, and the first fights get underway. Well, let's get it underway, shall we?

Chapter Five: The Dark Tournament Begins

From what I have gathered, Michael Harris and David Falcone are the newest members of Team Urameshi. Koenma got wind of your entrance into the Tournament, and now brought the young Falcone to the Tournament in hopes of settling business of his late father.

I am not afraid of him. Raymond fell so easily, and his son will fall the same way.

Really? Carelessness will lead to failure, or your death.

I am not afraid of him. David is a little insect on my way to immortality. I will crush him and his team so easily.

Sure. Keep thinking with that false confidence.

Botan arrived at Michael home, and was about to ring the door bell when Melody quickly stepped outside to meet her.

"Ready to go?" Botan asked her happily. Melody pulled her to the side, and whispered to her.

"Miley and her friends are coming too." Melody whispered.

"What?" Botan almost screamed.

"Yeah." Melody answered. "Miley found the tickets that you gave me, and now they want to go."

"What are we going to do now?" Botan moaned, slapping her hand against her forehead.

"Really? You are the one that sent me four tickets!" Melody shouted at her.

"Great. Don't worry. I'll think of something." Botan stated. Miley, Lilly, and Oliver walked out of Melody's house, and looked at the two of them.

"Ready to go?" Botan asked them, a smile on her face.

"I guess, who are you?" Miley asked.

"A friend of Michael's." Botan said. "I was sent to make sure that we all got there on time."

Nice. Melody stated in her mind.

"Sure. Where are we going?" Lilly asked.

"It's a surprise." Botan winked.

"Oh, it will be..." Melody stated.

"Okay. Let's go!" Botan shouted.

Boy, are Lilly and Oliver in for a big surprise, huh? Melody thought to herself.

David sat awake on his bed as the moonlight from the room leaked in to the hotel room. He was awake as he had a nightmare about what happened to his parents. He still remembered that big dark figure standing over the bloody body of his father. He was barely a year old when that entire saga happened, and now he had to deal with the fact that whoever did that, was still out there. Then something dawned on him. Koenma told him when he was visited earlier in the week that he was going to be confronted by someone from his past. David did not think nothing of it until tonight while he was sitting here with only his thoughts in his mind. Now he knew for sure.

"Whoever killed my parents is in the tournament." David whispered to himself. It was due to that that he was awake for the rest of the night. That, and the tournament was starting in a few hours.

It was the next morning, and David was still asleep in his bed. Well, he was until someone literally, grabbed him out of his bed, and threw him onto the floor. David, dressed in only his boxers, looked up to see Yusuke standing above him, dressed in his jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt.

"Why, so nice of you to join us." Yusuke said with a smile on his face.

"You asshole." David muttered, getting to his feet. David looked around, and saw his teammates already dressed in their fighting gear. Michael was dressed in a white gi with a t-shirt,with a black dragon on the back of the gi. His whole left arm was tapped, which could mean a whole mess of things.

"Get ready, the Tournament begins in less than an hour." Michael called, wrapping his long blonde hair into a ponytail.

"Alright, Jesus. I will." David said, getting dressed in all black clothes with a wolf symbol on his chest of the t-shirt.

"Finally. It is ready." Michael joked.

"Whatever. Let's go." David stated.

"So, who goes first?" Yusuke asked, turning to his teammates.

"Me." Hiei stated, stepping forward.

"Really? Are you sure you can handle this?" Yusuke stated, looking directly at the teen.

"I can, and I will." Hiei said. "It is going to be easy. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, and I am in an ass-whooping mood." Michael said, walking ahead from his friends.

"Are you really sure that we can trust the dragon?" Michael whispered to Yusuke.

"Absolutely." Yusuke stated. "I trust him as much as you at first, but he came around."

"That's...comforting..." Kurama answered in a nervous voice.

"Come on, the tournament is starting." David asked continuing to walk forward.

Well, remember when it was earlier stated that Oliver and Lilly wre in for a big surprise? Well, here you go.

Needless to say, as Miley, Melody, Lilly and Oliver made their way to their seats, surrounded by numerous demons and what not, Lilly and Oliver were not only scared out of their minds, but downright frightened as to what they were witnessing.

"Uh, Miley, just where are we?" Oliver asked.

"Dark Moon Isle. Home of the current Dark Tournament." Miley answered.

"What is a Dark Tournament?" Lilly asked.

"A No Holds Barred Tournament where the goal is to either knock out your opponent, or to kill them." Melody answered.

"What! Why are we here then?" Lilly hissed at her.

"Miley forced me to bring you here, and to support Team Urameshi, and Michael, of course." Melody said.

"Shhh! It is starting!" Miley answered, pointing towards the ring, and the fox girl announcer. As the fox girl put the mic to her lips. Miley's eyes were on Michael, who stood with the rest of his teammates.

"Greetings one and all!" She shouted into the mic. "My name is Kuwi, and I will be one of the two main announcers for this Tournament. I see that you are ready to get this bloodbath started, and here we go! The first match on the card is the defending champions Team Urameshi vs Team Oushi. Will a member from each team please enter the ring?"

Hiei gradually strided into the ring as a big guy, named Koma from Team Oushi entered from the other side.

"Ready? Begin!" Kuwi screamed.

AN: The first round of the tournament is going to be a sweep, so honestly? No point of putting it all here right now. Read the next chapter to see what happens next!
