The Tournament

The Surprise!

As the captain finished his announcement. The boat was filled with the sounds of complaints. “Now listen here and shut your traps. You mangy dogs. ” Yelled a very annoyed pirated captain. No sooner had he said that the boat once again became silent.

 The captain cleared his throat, and continued. “Now like I said 15 teams, have been chosen. And here on me trusty boat, the 16th team will be as well…” (Too lazy to finish his speech.)

(Hiei’s P.O.V)

“This annoying human better start, the damn fight soon. Before I lose my temper.” A very annoyed fire demon thought. He couldn’t explain, but he felt as though this whole preliminary fight seemed useless and completely pointless. But none the less very entertaining. 

(Normal P.O.V)

“I wonder where Hiei could have gone to.” asked Kurama. He turned his attention to Kuwabara. He seemed very happy at the fact that he was holding in his hand an IPod. ‘What is it with teenagers and the industry of technology?’Kurama thought to himself as he watched the younger man laugh with happiness. ‘Maybe, I’m just getting old?’ said to himself.

He couldn’t help but think that. After all he did have a very old demon trapped inside of his body. But that was a story and a memory he was not ready to share. But he could care less if people knew what he was. This was not the time to explain himself.

This was the Dark Tournament and he had to keep focus. His team mates needed him and he’s not gonna let them down. Kurama was suddenly brought out of him thoughts, when he felt a strong amount of demon power flare. He quickly turned his attention to the preliminary fight. He could hear the screams of demons and the sound of bones being crushed.

Being a curious person that he was. He decided to see who it was that was causing the commotion. “Kuwabara please look after Yusuke.” he said as he turned to the young boy. “Yeah sure, whatever you say Kurama. Man this thing is cool.” was Kuwabara replied as he put his headphones into the IPod. And with that Kurama turned and walked to where the fight was being held.

He pushed his way through several demons before finally he was able to get a good view. He gasped at the site before him. ‘Why the look of surprise?’ a voice said within Kurama’s head. ‘Hiei, I’m not surprised just shocked.’ was all he replied back with his thoughts. But still he had to admit, he really didn’t see this one coming.

‘You know who ever this person is. He really has strong power and great skills.’ Hiei said to Kurama. Kurama tried his best to suppress a chuckle. ‘If I didn’t know any better Hiei, I’d say you where complementing that fighter.’ Kurama replied with his thoughts. Kurama looked around trying to find where the stubborn fire demon was. He suddenly caught a flash of black jumping from one side of the ship to another.

He continued to see flashes of black until it suddenly landed right behind him. He turned around and sure enough there looking bored and a little annoyed was Hiei. “How dare you even say such filth? I wasn’t complementing, I was stating the obvious.” Hiei said with a flare in his voice
