(Asami, Jin, and Darshu board a bus headed for Hanging Neck Island. Jin and Darshu sit across from each other, and Asami sits in in the seat behind Jin. A young lightning master, Ryu, is sitting in the back reading.)

Jin: (in a good mood) If youÕre happy and yaÕ know it clap your hands!

Darshu: (In an even better mood) If youÕre happy and you know it shake your balls!

Asami: (A young, female wind demon with teal/aqua blue hair and gold eyes and a horn and poity ears.) EWW! You are gross!

Jin: IÕm surprised you even have any!! (laughs)

Darshu: Got more than you!!

Asami: OOOooo! You got told big time!

Darshu: At least my dick ainÕt this small! (holds his fingers a little out from each other)

Jin: (stutters) Well,,, Uhhhhh... At least my dick ainÕt THIS small! (holds his arms out)

Darshu: Thank you! (grins and picks up a small, white peice of plastic) What does this remind you of? My dick!! (laughs)

Jin: ItÕs fake???

Ryu: (rolls his eyes. He has black hair that cuts short just above his shoulder. He has vivid green eyes are hidden by a shadow caused by his bangs. He appears about 18 and heÕs wearing a muscle shirt and torn shorts.) Jin, are you ever slow... (smirks)
(turns a page in his Stephen King book)

Asami: (blushes) Oh my god... RyuÕs riding the bus with us!! HeÕs 10 times hotter than Zeshi! Jin, how do I look?

Jin: (growls jealously at Ryu) You look great... Grr...

Ryu: (smiles at Asami and eyes her)

Jin: THAT'S IT!!!!! (jumps THROUGH three bus seats and tackles Ryu.)

Darshu: I don't know him...

Ryu: (stands on Jin's head and sits back down, continuing on his book)

Asami: (The bus suddenly starts and she stands up, going to the back where Ryu and Shishi are sitting) Hi Ryu... WhatchaÕ reading?

Jin: (mumbles several naughty words and goes to the front again)

Ryu: (a single eye glances from the book) Dreamcatcher... ItÕs extremely frightening for a female, Asami. (looks back at the book)

Jin: (stands up and rolls up a shirt sleeve) That bastard! (starts toward the back again)

Darshu: (pulls Jin back down) DonÕt do it man!

Ryu: (looks up coldly at Jin and smirks)

Jin: Get him away from me... ItÕs that look....

Darshu: Are you alright?

Ryu: (flips his bangs back and looks up at Asami. Scoots over) Would you like to sit down?

Asami: Thanks. (sits down and peeks over RyuÕs shoulder)

Jin: (glaring at Ryu)

(Later, at the Netherworld Temple of Apocolypse)

Satoshi: ( a demon with dragon like legs and dirty blonde hair is pacing restlessly. HeÕs holding a scyhte and he has four knees ::evil grasshopper legs:: He is 4Õ 5, but when he stands up, he reaches about 8 feet.) Father, when does Yugureshi get here?

Shiro (Jabberwock): (A man with pitch black skin and blood red hair sits on an evil looking throne. His long claws click against the onyx throne. He has eyes of blood red and he has some dragon like features, like a tail, but no wings.) Patience Satoshi. There is no need to fret.

Yugureshi: (A 6Õ 5 man with pitch black hair and purple eyes enters the room. He has a scythe on his back, and heÕs wearing crescent moon earrings that drop to his shoulders. His shimmering, onyx hair is held up by a strip of green dragon skin, and his ponytail nearly drops down to the floor, stopping at his knee. There are several pieces of hair not held by the dragon skin, though. His voice is smooth and deep.) Shiro, I heard through the grapevine... (lifts his right hand, which is covered in demon blood) ...that my student, Kaze Tsukai Jin, would be at the tournament this year. I assembled several fighters to sponsor you in the tournament. (looks to 2 other demons that are female)

Misuteri: ( A young woman who appears about 25 stands behind Yugureshi. She has white/black hair and lime green eyes. She is wearing a black cloak and black gloves. Her voice resembles RukkaÕs, but not as deep) You plan to kill the one they call... Asami?

Yugureshi: No. ThatÕs what Satoshi will attempt. IÕll be fighting Jin. Who will you fight, Shiranai?

Shiranai: (Another female appears. She has teal blue hair with amber eyes. Her voice is soft and flowing) IÕll fight Ryu. I heard that heÕs faster than the one called Hiei Jaganshi.

Shiro: (suddenly stands up and looks at the teal haired woman) Asami!? I thought you died!

Shiranai: That name was passed down to my daughter. I chose a new name....................... I want to leave now. (starts walking out)

Yugureshi: (firmly grasps ShiranaiÕs shoulder.) YouÕre not going anywhere.

Satoshi: (sits down on a chair and crosses his legs.) ...................... (looks around) WhereÕs Zeshi? That bastards always late! (slams his foot on the ground)

Zeshi: (a slithering black puddle crawls under the doors and materializes. A man with dark blue , almost black, hair and blue skin stands before them. He is tall and stern. HeÕs wearing white pants and a flute is in his clawed hands)) I apologize for being late. I was... ehem... (wipes blood off of his arms, wrists, and hands.) ...busy...

Satoshi: A fine hour to be feeding you idiot. (sneers) Stupid fool.

Zeshi: I wasnÕt defeated by a weak fire demon!

Misuteri: (standing cllose to Yugureshi) Weak? WeÕre 3 times more powerful than you disgusting creatures!

Satoshi: (stands up to his full height, which is over 7 ft.) WHAT!!??

Shiro: Satoshi! Enough!! (slams his fist on the arm of the throne)

Satoshi: (lowers himself) Arrogant fool.

Zeshi: (growls at Satoshi) 4 kneed freak.

Satoshi and Zeshi: WHAT WAS THAT?!?!

Yugureshi: TheyÕre so bothersome. (A gust of wind knocks both of them down.)

Satoshi: (Chibi form) YOU LITTLE PUNK!!! IÕM ROYALTY!!! YOU CANÕT DO THAT UNLESS I SAY SO!!! SO LEA---

Yugureshi: Alright. (another gust of wind knocks him down)

Satoshi: (extremely angry) I DIDNÕT SAY YOU COULD DO THAT!!!

Yugureshi: But you said ÒsoÓ...

Satoshi: YOU STUPID BITCH!! FUCKING GAYWAD!!!!!!

Yugureshi: (grabs SatoshiÕs throat, his feet are dragging on on the floor, but heÕs lifted off the ground) NEVER... Never disgrace me... OR your father.

Satoshi: (clutching YugureshiÕs wrist) Y-yes sir... Ugh... (passes out)

Yugureshi: (drops him on the floor) That was pitiful... Jin lasted longer than him.

Shiro: HeÕs been having breathing problems for some time now.

Shiranai: Poor Satoshi! (runs over to Satoshi and goes to check on him.) HeÕs not breathing! What did you do!? (checks his pulse and his heartbeat.) Nothing... Why did you kill him!?

Yugureshi: That death is only temporary. Shiro, am I correct in saying that you Netherworlds have the technology to ressurect?

Shiro: No technology... Just the power. But it will take time and machinery to help this one.

Zeshi: I think his carcass makes a nice floor rug... (smirks)

Misuteri: Zeshi! You evil bastard! This is the heir to the throne!

Zeahi: (coldly) Do I look like I care?

Yugureshi: (picks Satoshi up and looks at Shiro.) Where to?

Zesshi: Up your ass and around the corner. (chuckles)

Shiro: (glares at Zeshi) Down that hallway... (points to a dark hallway that looks like it hasnÕt been used in centuries.)

Yugureshi: (drops Satoshi and picks him up again by the wrists and starts walking down the hall.)

(later, on the bus of doom)

Darshu: Jin, whatÕre you doing?!

Jin: (facing Ryu with arms crossed)

Shishi: (head back and sleeping)..............

Ryu: Hey man... (closes the book and stares evily at Jin)

Darshu: He closed the book.... (That's a big deal because Ryu's always reading SOMETHING)

Asami: (asleep and leaning on the window.)

Jin: (snarls) I want my girl back.

Ryu: YOUR girl? She came to me. (stands up)

(bus suddenly jolts)

Jin: Whoa! (stumbles)

Darshu: (slaps his forehead.) Jin, you idiot...

Asami: (opens one eye and smiles) (Now letÕs see if he really cares about me.)

Jin: (grabs RyuÕs collar) What then punk! You can't protect her!! She's different than the rest of us!! How much can you protect her!?!? HUH!?!?

Ryu: (growls) More than you can...

Jin: (throws him on the floor of the bus and gently picks up Asami.) Baka yo. (goes back to his seat and sets Asami down.)

Darshu: You must really dig her.

Jin: Darshu, donÕt tell Shish what I did.

Kanashimi: (curled up on a bus seat) I donÕt want to fight. I canÕt fight.

Darshu: HeÕs having another schizo fit!

Jin: HeÕs fine. ItÕs normal for him. (sighs and clears his throat)

Darshu: He can die from one of those!

Jin: Do you even pay attention in class? Schizos donÕt die from such things.

Darshu: Man IÕm tired. driving makes me sleepy! (slams his forehead on the seat.)

Jin: Fool... (looks out the window.)

Soru: (A young Gryphomorph with a lean, muscular body. He has white/black tipped feathers on the upper part of his torso. His lower arms are that of a dragon, but he has the same number of fingers as a human. His lower torso and below is that of a lionÕs. HeÕs wearing torn red shorts, and the punk bracelets. His hair is a bright green. ItÕs short yet spiked.) WeÕll be there any minute man. This rain sucks! (slams his fist on the window and his black tail twitches restlessly) WhoÕs drivinÕ this piece of crap!?

Jin: Who are you?

Soru: Me? IÕm Soru, the most punkÕd out, skateboardinÕ griffin since the Makai! But IÕm gonnaÕ be referee this year!

Jin: Cool!

Darshu: THE Soru! Man, I thought IÕd never meet you! I totally idolize you man!!! (gets all eager faced.)

Soru: Yeah, I think IÕve heard of you somewhere. Some guy called Yugureshi said your mom was fighting this tournament. He also said that he was gonnaÕ kill some guy called Jin. That guy totally gave me the shivers man!

Asami: (wakes up and looks at the strange griffin.)

Soru: (tilts his head) Hello, miss.

Asami: Hey.

Jin: Finally! WeÕre here! WhatÕs going on?

Soru: (looks out the window and looks at several cloaked figures talking to a group of sinister looking demons) The Dark Tournament Commitee...

(Outside)

Yugureshi: Then weÕre at an agreement. If we win, then the Makai belongs to the Jabberwock.

DTC: Of course sir. I look forward to seeing the great Wind Assassin fight here once more.

Shiranai: (looks at the black bus parked by the hotel/mansion thing) Yugureshi, I feel a strong spiritual energy coming from that bus over there.

Misuteri: IÕm sure itÕs just another weak demon disguising his power.

Satoshi: (in a wheel chair, his mouth and nostrils connected to a metal respirator. HeÕs wearing a black cloak. his voice is scratchy and vague.) Shiranai, come here...

Shiranai: (runs hurridly over to his side) What is it?

Satoshi: (head lolls to one side) Be careful... IÕll be at the top with the humans... ItÕll be interesting to see how well they can trick each other out of their lives and money... (coughs)

Shiranai: DonÕt talk so much, Satoshi. ItÕll just make your condition worse.

Yugureshi: What is it with you two?

Shiranai: IÕm his stepmother. I gave birth to Asami and Kanashimi.

Misuteri: What about his? (points to Satoshi)

Shinrai: She died along time ago. She was a Jagan Demon, a demon who was born with a Jagan Eye.

Yugureshi: Noone wants to hear his little sob story, now letÕs get inside before it starts raining. (looks into the sky as clouds billow overhead. Tosses a bag over his shoulder and walks inside.)

Jin: IÕm tired! Darshu will you help me over here!? (attempts to lift a airport bag over his shoulder.)

Darshu: What did you even put in there man?

Jin: A chainsaw. IÕm gonnaÕ kill Yugureshi in his sleep, yaÕ know? Make his teamÕs eyes water.

Darshu: (snatches the bag out of JinÕs hands and tosses it over his shoulder.) YouÕre cold man. Heartless.

Jin: (ears twitch) I know! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Asami: (with an airport bag and a laptop in her hands.) Are you sure you can carry all of that stuff, Darshu??

Darshu: Yeah, IÕm cool! (notices Ryu walking out of the emergency exit of the bus.) Hello, Sunshine! (laughs)

Ryu: Shutup, stupid bastard. (walks into the building.)

Asami: JERK!! (flips off Ryu)

Jin: Alright! ThereÕs still a chance!

Asami: Jin, I gave you a chance and you got it. Why would I want to go with anyone else? (crosses her arms.)

Darshu: (cluelessly puts his hands on his crotch like a rapper would) Nani???

Jin: Nothing you would understand, Ôcause you failed sex ed!!! HAHA!!

Darshu: HowÕd you kno- Hold on... Sex ed. eh? ... (looks puzzled and comes to relization) Ooooh man! Jin ainÕt a virgin no more!! Clap your hands, stompyour feet. Praise Makai! JinÕs not a virgin Ôcause Asami was in heat! (laughs)

Asami: IÕm not a dog you dirty little--!!

Darshu: Well, youÕre a bitch!

Jin: DonÕt tell Shish, causeÕ heÕll kill me.

Darshu: Fine! I wonÕt tell him. Sweet! When did you start puberty Jin?

Jin: (counts on his fingers) Uhh, when I was in second grade.

Darshu: Daaaaaammmnn!

Asami: Immature fuckers... (starts walking inside)

Darshu: Is it that time of the month already?

Asami:No. But it is for you!

Jin: Oooo! You got told! (laughs)

(Inside the room thing)

Jin: SOFA!!! (jumps on the couch and flops down)

Darshu: WhereÕs Asami?

Shishi: Taking a shower... (reading a naughty magazine)

Jin: (starts walking towrads the bathroom.)

Shishi: And where do you think youÕre going?

Jin: I gottaÕ check my braces!

Shishi: You donÕt wear braces...

Jin: I donÕt? What a shame. Dammit! (sits beside Darshu) This sucks.

Darshu: Nice try. My dad can sense if youÕre lying or not, so... tell the truth, alright?

Jin: Yeah right! IÕll lie if I want!!

Darshu: Jin, you donÕt seem to get it-

Jin: You donÕt seem to get it! IÕm going to die, and Asami wonÕt ever see me again!

Darshu: So you had sex with her?

Jin: NO!!! She was feeling depressed so I wanted to make her feel better, so-

Darshu: You had sex with her.

Jin: Will you just shutup!? She started talking about how I was the only one who really understood her and it started getting mushy and romantic.

Darshu: But you had SEX with her man!

Jin: Will you just shutup! IÕm gonnaÕ get in trouble!

Shishi: (looks up) Get in trouble for what?

Jin: Nothing! (glances around)

Shishi: YouÕre lying.

Jin: No IÕm not!

Shish: What were you two talking about? (walks up to Jin and Darshu)

Darshu: Dad go away! This is man talk!

Shishi: Are you saying that IÕm a woman?

Darshu: No! IÕm not saying that! ItÕs just that-

Shishi: You sound just like your mother when youÕre nervous.

Darshu: No I donÕt!

Jin: Oh, I love this game! YoÕ mama so fat, that she-

Darshu: Better than sounding like you! (crosses his arms)

Shishi: Grr... (sits back down)

*knock, knock*

Darshu: What the fuck do you want?

Toriyama: (opens the door and peeks in) Am I interrupting anything?

Shishi: Of course not.

Darshu: (suavely) Hey baby. Wazzup?

Toriyama: Hi Darshu! (runs over to Darshu and sits in his lap) WhatchaÕ talkinÕ about?

Darshu: About how Jin more than likely got one of our fighters pregnant.

Toriyama: (looks at Darshu funny).......

Darshu: No no no! Not me! Not me! IÕm not gay now!

Shishi: (jumps up and looks furious) What was that?! (fangs bared) JIN!! Get over here... NOW!!!!!!!!

Darshu: And I thought Yuusuke was bad...

Jin: Now youÕve done it you bastard... (looks at Shishi) NO!

Shishi: (draws his katana) *Darshu is the new, proud owner of the banshee shriek* Now...

Toriyama: (perks) AsamiÕs pregnant?!

Darshu: I dunnoÕ.

Asami: (walks out of the bathroom, fully dressed.) Jin, donÕt give him a hard time.

Jin: HeÕs trying to hurt me Asami-chan!

Darshu: Awww, JinÕs trying to get his little mate to help him.

Toriyama: TheyÕre such a cute couple, Darshu! (cuddles Darshu)

Darshu: If you need any pointers,Jin, just let me know.

Jin: DASRHU JUST LAY THE FUCK OFF WILL YOU!!!!!!???????!!!!!! (looks pissed an is panting.) I feel better.

Asami: (eyes big) Jin... That was scary...

(note slips under the door )

Darshu: What the?

Asami: (picks it up) ThereÕs no name on it. Not on the outside at least.

Jin: Read it! (jumps eagerly) Read it! Read it!

Asami: Hmm... (opens the letter and jumps back from it, allowing it to drop to the ground) It was written in a wind demons blood!!

Darshu: Is it really that bad?

Toriyama: ItÕs written in blood?!

Jin: HeÕs making this far too easy. (chuckles and picks up the letter)

Darshu: Whuzit say?

Asami: (notices JinÕs hair has darkened a bit and his fangs are considerably sharper) Jin?

Jin: This is what it says: Team Masho,
We are expected to fight in the Dark Tournament finals.
If you do not make it, we will hunt you down and fight you ourselves.
If you die before the finals, thatÕs one less job for us.
DonÕt try to hide from the Netherworld Elite Force.

Hey, the hand writing changes!

Do not run, for we will be there as road blocks.
WeÕll drag you to the ground and destroy you.

Sincerily,
Yugureshi and Misuteri

Asami: ThatÕs freaky.

Jin: I know right?

Darshu: Tori, come here. (gets up and walks into the hallway)

Tori: (follows him) Yeah?

Darshu: DonÕt follow me.

Tori: Why?

Darshu: ItÕs for your safety. WeÕre being hunted by forces even my dad doesnÕt understand. I could die, and Jin can almost sense his death nearing. I donÕt want you to get hurt. The way Jin talks about this guy Yugu... uhhh... whatever his name is, itÕs like Jin thinks heÕs actually there.

Tori: I can fight him!

Darshu: HeÕs too powerful. LetÕs just put it this way. HeÕs 10 times more powerful than Satoshi, and if Jin wasnÕt his student, IÕd be dead. Jin fought that guy to save me. I wouldnÕt be here with you right now if he killed me..... Who brought you here anyway?

Tori: My daddy and poppy. (Kurama=Daddy; Hiei=Poppy)

Darshu: Look here. Promise me you wonÕt follow me, OR tell your parents about the note, alright.

Tori: Okay. But what was wrong with Jin? His personality totally changed!

Darshu: AsamiÕs the only one who knows, and she wonÕt even tell me.

Yugureshi: (leaning on the wall) Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yugureshi of the Netherworld Elite. (has that superior look that I canÕt stand on his face.) And you must be Darshu.

Darshu: That scent is familiar... It was your blood on the note! You bastard! Trying to trick the Shinobi!

Tori: Darshu... HeÕs evil...

Yugureshi: (licks his hand, which is covered in blood) Not mine... Scaring Jin is a hard thing to do, considering his darker side. The side that was trained by me. IÕm trying to draw it out of him. (laughs) And once we win the Ankoku Bojutsukai, the Netherworld will rise to power once again.

Darshu: I was there when the Netherworld fell. I was only 15, but I was there. Noone cares about it anymore. (pulls Tori closer to him)

Yugureshi: I leave you with this, just as a warning... (uses the wind to form a blade and cuts ToriyamaÕs arm.)

Toriyama: (screams and starts crying, clinging to Darshu.)

Darshu: You bitch!!! (slips out of ToriÕs grip and charges at Yugureshi)

Yugureshi: (creates a barrier of wind around him.) I should have killed you long ago. (disappears.)

Darshu: WhereÕd you go?!?! Dammit! (runs over to Toriyama and holds her ) ItÕs alright. IÕm right here.

Kurama: (appears around the corner.) Toriyama! Darshu, who did this?!

Darshu: Yugureshi. Youko should know about him. I doubt you do.

Zurui: (a fox girl with a black tail and ears) This way Soru!

Soru: Why am I following you? WeÕre going to get lost again like last time.

Zurui: LetÕs just check this place out!

Soru: (swings a pendant around) Fine. (stops in his tracks.) I sense a Youko.

Zurui: IÕm a Youko.

Soru: Not you girlie. (puts his hand on her shoulder and walks forward)

Darshu: Who are you?

Soru: The Griffin Demon. IÕm a friend. You saw me on the bus. (spots ToriÕs injuries) WhatÕve we got here? (kneels and takes out some kind of bottle out of a side bag.)

Tori: (looks at Soru and whimpers) Darshu...

Kurama: Soru, youÕre a healer now?

Sori: ItÕs a cleaner job than banditry. (takes out a clean rag and pours some of the liquid onto it) This burns like hell, but it works better than any other remedy. (puts the rag onto her cut and holds it on)

Tori: (flinches) Take it off!

Kurama: What is it?

Soru: DragonÕs blood. Slayed it myself. Stop moving and it won't burn as badly!

Darshu: (growls at Soru) DonÕt hurt her!

Soru: If sheÕs the heir to Mukuro and Hiei, she needs to be stronger than this! That was a poison that caused her cut. It wasnÕt wind!

Tori: It doesnÕt hurt as bad now.

Soru: Darshu, (takes the rag off of her arm and draws a dagger) Give me your arm.

Darshu: Whatever. (holds his arm out)

Soru: (slices DarshuÕs arm with the dagger and put the rag on it)

Darshu: (tries to back away from Soru but his grip is too strong) Oh, shit!! ItÕs freezing!!

Soru: ItÕs so cold that it burns. (letÕs go of DarshuÕs arm) The girlÕs stronger than you.

Darshu: (clasping his arm.)

Soru: Later. Come Zurui.

Zurui: (runs over to Soru and they walk on down the hall.)

Kurama: Hiei wonÕt take this well. So Darshu, howÕs Asami? Is she perfecting her skills?

Darshu: Sharp as a knife. But don;t kill me for telling you this. We donÕt know for sure, but thereÕs a suspicion that sheÕs... well... uhh... I donÕt know how to spell it... P-r-e-g-n-a-n-t.

Kurama: NANI!?!?

Darshu: JIN DID IT NOT ME!!!

Tori: (giggles) Nice boxers.

Darshu: Nani? (looks at his pants and notices that theyÕre unzipped.) Oh... ( zips his pants) DonÕt look a that!

Tori: (giggles) Gomen! I canÕt help it!

Kurama: (glares at Darshu)

Darshu: GottaÕ go bye! (runs back in the room.)

Jin: Hey Darsh!

Darshu: Jin, you almost got me killed!

Jin: Gay men canÕt fight!

Darshu: Kurama can fight.

Jin: He doesnÕt count Ôcause heÕs a girl! (laughs)

Asami: (hands on her hips and glaring at Jin.) Get over here....

Jin: NO!! I donÕt wannaÕ!

Asami: IÕm just joking! (runs up to Jin and pins him onto the couch) Chicken! The magic weasel is my friend! (hugs Jin and nuzzles him.)

Darshu: O_o Okaaaayyy.... WhereÕs the old man?

Jin: I donÕt know... I love you too Asami! (ears twitch)

Darshu: Jin... ( blocks one side of his mouth and mouths the word: ÒJigglesÓ and nods towards Asami) Haha!

Jin: (silent laughter: ÒYou stupid dick!Ó) (ears twitch and looks at the ceiling) Hey hey, tsumuji kaze de fly away... (continues humming)

Darshu: She did it again!! (laughs)

Asami: (asleep) Sea monkey... squirrel... (claws at the air)

Jin: Kawaii... (chuckles)

(At the dorm where the N.W. Elite are sleeping)

Yugureshi: His spirit energy has rocketed since the last time I saw him. He flew into a rage when I hurt his friend.

Shinrai: Satoshi, what is it?

Satoshi: (standing up) IÕll never get used to these. (He now has normal legs, but his feet are dragon-like and have 3 toes) IÕm not as coordinated with these. (stumbles a bit)

Zeshi: Sit in your wheelchair before you fall out the window! Cripple!

Satoshi: I can change my form whenever I want!! (stumbles and nearly falls)

Shinrai: Satoshi, be careful! (runs over to him and holds him) Are you alright?

Satoshi: Shinrai, youÕre not my mom.

Shinrai: IÕm the closest thing you have to one. (helps him up) Just walk like you used to.

Satoshi: I used to hop and jump.

Shinrai: One foot before the next. (pushes him) Walk boy! (laughs)

Satoshi: (takes several swaggering steps and falls right on his face.) ThatÕs it! This is far too embarrassing!!

Yugureshi: True, but IÕll help, for her sake. (glances at Shinrai sweetly and uses his power over wind to hold Satoshi up as he gets used to his new legs)

Satoshi: (looks stiff) I canÕt do this.

Yugureshi: DonÕt slouch! Shoulders back!

Satoshi: (leans backward and pushes his shoulders back.

Shinrai: (circles around Satoshi and examines his posture.) Yes. Perfect, now all we need is a more suiting wardrobe. (looks around.)

Satoshi: My dad always said that dragon skin was the best material.

Yugureshi: I might have something that would fit you. (looks in a nearby closet and pulls out a red and black dragon skin armor and boots.) This will increase your spirit energy by 100% percent.

Satoshi: Sweet.

Zeshi: LetÕs hope it doesnÕt fit like a Speedo! (chuckles)

Yugureshi: It doesnÕt you smart mouth!

(At the Shinobi dorm)

Jin: Darshu, look at this. Kawaii! (ears twitch)

Asami: (singing in her sleep) IÕll fly away with you...

Darshu: IsnÕt that the song youÕre writing?

Jin: I was singing it to her earlier. She caught on pretty quick.

Darshu: (laughs) She IS the one for you man!

Asami: (yawns and wakes up) The tournament! (runs into a room and gets her shinobi outfit on, which is white with blue jewels. It has a small top that covers only her chest, and a bottom that is has a cloth belt with two pieces of cloth hanging down from the front and back. Short shorts are worn under it.)

Jin: (mouth drops open.) Oh Saints Preservers....

Darshu: And I thought MY uniform was sexy.

Asami: (slaps Darshu, leaving a handprint on his face.) Pervert!

Jin: IÕll go in this. (tattered jeans and no shirt)

Asami: WeÕre fighting for the Shinobi, so you both get your uniforms on!!

Jin: I need help. Mine confuses me.

Asami: Fine. I know what youÕre getting at Jin, but IÕll do it anyway.

Darshu: ....O_o

Jin: Woohoo! And the chorus swells!

Asami: ThatÕs the last time I let Risho shove a bottle of Antifreeze down your throat! Especially before the D.T.!!!(walks through a door that's cut in "half" The kind that has the top that opens and the bottom. Opens the bottom and walks under it, and continues walking down the stairs.)

Jin: Hold up! (runs after her but hits the top door part and slides under, crashing down the stairs.) Ow....

(outside at the arena)

Soru: Alright! Time for the D.T. to begin! Over here, we've the new and improved, Team Masho! And over there we have the awesome Team Samurai! (points to a group of sinister looking figures)

Asami: (puts headphones on.)

Darshu: What the??

Jin: She's a Wind Dancer. Pretty cool stuff, ya' know!?

Darshu: (in a Shinobi uniform similar to Touya's except black.) Use Jibberish, Jin!)

Jin: Aldigarightdigight! (Alright!)

Soru: Will the team captains please enter the arena!

(crowd cheers)

5: Only 4 teams entered this year. (sneers. He has 5 tatoo on his shoulder and looks something like a dragon humanoid) I'll chose the single matches.

Jin: (nods) As will I.

Soru: Let the tournament begin!
