Chapter Fourteen: Sorrow Falls

All of Team Urameshi, minus David because he was still recovering from his injuries, were watching the semi finals of the Dark Tournament. They were looking on, mostly because they wanted to scout who they were going to possibly face in the Dark Tournament Finals. Team Izan was in the semi finals, and Michael and Kurama watched along with Yusuke and Hiei. Yusuke and Hiei knew of the brutality that Team Izan was capable of, but if you were new to see this first hand, like Kurama and Michael were in this situation, you are going to be somewhat shocked as to the brutality that the team Izan compromised was dishing out. The rest of the Team Urameshi watched as Izan basically vaporized the entire opposing team with relative ease.

"Wow, that was a neat trick." Michael said with a smirk. Yusuke looked over and saw a small smile on the teen's face.

"Dude, Izan just vaporized someone with a snap of his finger, and now you are smiling about it?" Yusuke asked him.

"Of course, I am impressed." Michael answered. "He is a dangerous and deadly foe. Plus, he had just earned a place in the finals to face us."

"You won't be smiling when he sends you home in a body bag." Hiei answered.

"Shut the fuck up, small fry." Michael shot back.

"Well, since the match is over, we better head back to the room." Kurama stated, stretching.

The rest of the team nodded, and they left the stadium, just as Izan was glaring in their direction...

Yusuke, Michael, Hiei and Kurama were near their room when they rounded a corner, and ran right into Izan, and the rest of his teammates. Nobody showed it, but there was a very cold wind blowing through the stadium, and the hallway that they were standing in.

"Well, it is nice to see that you are still standing after that, shall we say, "accident" involving David, are you?" Izan smiled as he spoke. "Speaking of which, where is the young wolf?"

"Recovering, no thanks to you." Michael snapped at the team leader.

"Forget about that. Don't you have some kitten that you need to kill?" Yusuke answered, taking a shot at Izan.

"Funny as always, Yusuke, but that humor is not going to be enough to defeat me and my comrades here." Izan stated.

"God, go and climb a tree or something." Michael answered.

"You better watch who you are talking to, young dragon, because I have...mysterious ways and powers..." A member of Izan's team, apparently named Heihachi stated. He held out something in his hand, and Michael soon realized that it was a necklace of Miley's.

"Son of a bitch, you are going to pay for that." Michael spat at him. Yusuke and Kurama held on to him in case he made a move on Heihachi, but Michael didn't. He was really pissed all the same."

"Signs of weakness. A shame really. I have grown to admire your power." Heihachi answered, throwing the necklace to Michael, who caught it with no trouble.

"Before we go, I have something to tell you all. One of you is going to die today." Izan laughed, before he and his team disappeared. As they stood in the hall for a few moments before Yusuke spoke and broke the silence.

"That was way creepy." Yusuke said.

"Yeah, but they have to be killed. All of them." Michael said, his body shaking with anger. The fact that Heihachi had Miley's necklace, a necklace that he got her, mind you, that meant that he had put his hands on her. Now he had to kill him, and he was going to enjoy doing it too.

"Don't let them get to you, this is all part of their plan to get in our heads." Kurama said, placing a friendly hand on his shoulder.

Michael just nodded, and walked off, the rest of the team following in his tracks as he stormed away.

The rest of the team walked into the room, and Michael went to check on David. Michael cracked the door open, and he did not see Alex nor David in the room. Shutting the door, Michael went over to where everyone was sitting, and asked, "Where did Alex and David go?"

"They went out for a walk." Justin answered. Michael nodded, and pulled Yusuke to the side.

"What?" He asked.

"I have a really bad feeling. Something is going to happen."

"Yeah, I think something might happen, but let's just wait and see if anything does." Yusuke answered.

"Yeah, I just hope that nothing is going to happen." Michael said.

David and Alex were walking through the nearby woods. Once David felt better, and managed to get on his feet, he insisted that he would take her out for a walk in the nearby woods.

The young couple came to a stop at a nearby tree, and David took a seat and Alex sat next to him. David could literally feel that she wanted to talk to him about something.

"Alex, what's wrong? You have been quiet ever since we went for the walk." David stated.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just have a lot on my mind." Alex said.

"I would know how you feel." David stated.

"I wanted to tell you something." Alex stated. She stood up, and David followed her. He had somewhat of an idea of what she was going to do, but what was she was going to tell him was a mystery to him.

Alex was about to speak when some eerily laughter erupted out of nowhere. Izan slowly stepped out of the shadows, and smiled at the young couple.

"Hello, David. Nice to see you again." Izan stated.

"What do you want?" David answered, slowly pushing Alex behind him.

"Your life, of course." Izan stated. David looked as though Izan lost his mind, but Izan was right on them, knocking them from each other. David was knocked into a tree, and Alex was knocked to the ground. David looked as though he was knocked out, but Alex was just stunned. Alex looked up to see Izan standing above her.

"You are really pretty. I see what David likes in you." Izan smiled sinisterly at her. Alex tried to move, but was pinned down by Izan. Izan struck her again, this time knocking her out. He ripped her shirt open, and made a motion towards her pants when David came in and knocked Izan from her.

Laughing, Izan stood up, and stared at him. "I should have killed you when I had the chance. There is not going to be anyone to save you now, especially your parents."

"Damn you!" David yelled, charging right at Izan. Izan laughed, and right when David tried to swing at him, he stuck his fingers right into his chest. Laughing manically, he walked away, smiling at a job well done in his eyes.

David and Alex laid out there, and there was almost no hope for no one to find them.

Michael felt something out in the forest, and he quickly turned to Yusuke, who just happened to be right next to him.

"What is it?" Yusuke asked, looking right at his teammate, knowing that something is wrong by the look on his face.

"Something is happening." Michael answered quickly, looking at his friend. "I am going to check it out."

"I am coming with you." Yusuke answered. Michael nodded, and took off towards the woods.

"Oh, right, he can fly." Yusuke moaned. frantically running after him in an effort to keep up.

Michael landed down in the woods, after a quick flight towards the area. He sensed someone almost dead, and another person alive, but hurt slightly. MIchael looked back to see Yusuke jogging towards him.

"Thanks for the lift, asshole." Yusuke said, trying to catch his breath.

"Shut up, something happened out here." Michael said. As he quickly looked over the area, he noticed that there was someone wheezing lightly. Michael and Yusuke quickly made their way over to the area to see what was going on.

There they saw David, with bad chest wounds on him. Michael leaned down towards his friend as David looked at him with tears in his blue eyes.

"Mike...Mike..." David said weakly.

"Save your energy, we got to get you out of here." Michael said, motioning for Yusuke to go and grab Alex.

"Michael...tell Alex..." David said weakly.

"Tell Alex what?" Michael said, trying to hear his friend.

"Tell Alex...that I love her..." David said, as the little of his life that was remaining was drained out of him.

"Mike, what happened?" Yusuke asked him.

"David...David just died..."
