Kurama's POV:
Before I know it, its already sunrise. I walk out my room to see the team already awake and eating breakfast. Surprisingly, Hiei managed to sleep in the same room as Yusuke without killing him. Yusuke and Kuwabara along with Genkai are eating croissants with coffee or tea. Hiei's staring out into the ocean watching the sunrise, I think. I'm not sure if he likes sunrises. Everyone greets me good morning and I greet them back.
I can feel Hiei's scarlet eyes watching me as I grab something to eat. When I turn to him, He grins for a second, then returns his attention back to the window.
The team eats silently for some reason. A bit nervous are we, I think to myself. The only disturbing noise I hear is the chewing of food that Yusuke and Kuwabara are making.
"So, we have our first fight today?" I ask nonchalantly.
Yusuke nods. "That's right. Though it would be mostly us doing the fighting. You just sit back and relax. Now if they decide to bend the rules and have a battle royal, then I don't know what'll happen. But it's highly unlikely that that'll occur."
We eat in silence soon after. I try to process plan after plan for every situation I can think of. I know the team has an escape route for me, or atleast Hiei does.
Yusuke grabs his can of soda and exhales deeply. "It's time to kick some ass." The simple and characteristic saying makes me smile. I guess it's a way to loosen up the air.
The stadium is huge larger than any stadium in the human. The demons look sort of like the ones on the ship, though with a little more diversity. We walk to the back rooms where all the teams await. As we casually stroll to our room, demons flare glares at us. Especially me. Everyone in my team formed a loose circle around me a long time ago. Hiei's in front of me, staring down everyone and anyone we come in contact with. If a glare can kill… Well his glare will kill. A human shows us to our room and hands us a piece of paper with all the team names and brackets.
As we wait in our room, we can hear the yells and cheers and boos of everyone outside. More and more teams are getting killed and only a few make it in. Yusuke and Genkai check over our opponent on the list the committee had given us; Team Hebi.
"Looks like we're battling last. So everyone knows game plan?" Yusuke says, not taking his eyes off of the paper.
Kuwabara laughs his usual playful laugh. "Oh yeah. I'm gonna beat someone's tail."
I can tell Hiei's worried half to death. How? He doesn't insult Kuwabara. I walk over to him where he stands staring out the window.
"You nervous?"
"For me, no. For you, yes." Simple as that.
"I'll be fine. Promise." I gently grin, seeing him slightly smile back. "No need to worry."
We were having a nice moment until someone knocks down the door. A buff tall man with a blue Mohawk and a bottle stood in the doorway along side a little boy that look like a circus clown and an unfortunate teenager's child. Then three other people or maybe demons joins them. One is shirtless with wild spiky hair and the other has slick back light blue hair with green bangs that look like bear claws sticking out from his scalp. And the last one is like a pretty boy. Long hair, good looks and all.
"Chu!" Yusuke exclaims, head bumping the biggest guy.
"Long time no see bludger. You still as strong as always." He sounds drunk to me. "Built like a brick shit house."
Kuwabara and Genkai also greet them as if they're old acquaintances.
"So Urameshi, you gonna tell us who that pretty boy is over there? I think he can give Shishiwakamaru a run for his money." The shirtless red hair one comes over and inspects me. "He's human is he not? But there's something weird bout him. Oh but Jin can't tell what it is." He speaks so fast I can't even tell what he's saying.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Everyone, this is Kurama. He's um… Hiei's… Best friend?" Yusuke looks at me, his eyes asking if what he said was all right. And it was.
"Never knew a cold bastard like Hiei could make friends. Woo wee we musta been underestimatin' him this entire time." Again, no idea what he's saying.
Hiei ignores all of them as usual. He's probably embarrassed. "Well I didn't expect my team to be lollygagging."
I look up to the sound of that familiar voice. My eyes widen as I see Koenma walk or more like stride in the room. He catches my eye and his jaw nearly breaks in half.
"Wow." Yusuke starts. "You can actually feel the awkward."
