Chapter 1: And The Fights Begins
*********************************************************** *********************************
The owner of the Team Masho hissed in anger at the sudden arrival.
“Who is she?” he demanded.
“Team Urameshi’s last member, it seems.” Risho commented.
“Then we’ll force her to fight. I’ll like to see what a weakling girl like her can do.” the Team Masho owner nodded.
That decided, Icy will fight against Touya.
*********************************************************** **********************************
First battle: Kurama versus Gama.
And as we all know, the kitsune defeated the shinobi with a hard slash of his Rose Whip, which came out of his hair.
The then broken and bleeding Gama made on last spell on Kurama before he died, sealing Kurama's spirit energy inside his body with "Makeup of the Seal".
*********************************************************** *************************************
Second battle, Icy versus Touya.
“They have absolutely no idea what I can do, do they?” Icy smirked in amusement.
“Apparently not.” Kurama replied, as he dragged himself out of the battle arena.
“Well, we could do this the slow and painful way or the swift and painless way. Guess they’ll have to choose.” Icy shrugged as she leapt easily into the ring.
The rest of the team sweatdropped. This is going to be one very interesting fight.
Touya attacked first, throwing ice shards at the girl.
Ice versus ice. This is going to be sssooo interesting. Icy sent a mental message to Kurama as she dodged each and every one of the ice piece. The redhead chuckled at her comment.
As Touya’s last ice shard missed its intended target, Icy stopped running, her feet inches from the edge of the battle arena.
“So ice master, what would it be? A quick painless defeat or a slow painful one?” she mocked.
“Quick and painless, for you that is!” Touya shouted, forming a ice sword with his hand.
Guess he just chose. He has absolutely no idea what is in store for him. Icy snickered mentally. Kurama hid a laugh behind his hand.
Watch and learn, Red. she added.
Hey! Kurama protested.
Without giving him a reply, Icy produced a lyre.
Shutting her eyes, she started strumming.
Seconds later, she opened her eyes and cried out, “Death Rhapsody!”
Before Touya knew it, the lyre’s strings had extended and wrapped around him.
The more Icy strummed, the tighter the strings hold on him was.
Right now, Touya was yelling in pain, struggling to free himself.
Deciding that his punishment was enough, Icy plucked one of the lyre’s strings one last time, finally sending her ice power out through the string.
Within seconds, Touya was frozen completely and Koto announced Icy as the winner.
********************************************************** *******************************
“Me ouch.” Yusuke commented when the fight was over.
************************************************************ *****************************
That done, Icy kept her lyre and was about to hop down the arena, when the committee ruled that since she was still standing in the arena, she must participate in the next match.
.
Cheating aren’t we? Icy smirked deviously.
Blue, don’t you go and try that move again. Kurama warned.
Who me? Icy replied not-so-innocently.
Kurama sighed. Should’ve known.
Just as Koto announced that the fight had begun, Baken wasted no time in covering the arena with mist built form his sweat.
Someone needs a deodorant. Icy complained.
Not me I hope. Kurama teased.
Very funny. Icy retorted.
“You know Baken. This is getting boring.” Icy commented from somewhere in the mist.
Before the muscle-bound man knew what happened, he felt a cold hand on his back and his body immediately started to freeze up.
“Goodbye.” Icy muttered as she forced her ice powers into Baken’s body.
Baken’s eyes widened when he realized what was really happening. Icy was literally freezing him to death by putting his blood vessels on ice.
Mere seconds later, Baken fell onto the ground, dead.
With the caster gone, the mist receded.
After the mist settled, Koto was about to begin the ten-count when she noticed something.
“OK folks, I think we can be pretty sure he's not getting back up again!” she declared, after seeing Baken’s blue body.
************************************************************ *****************************
Dusting imaginary dust from her hands as she hopped out of the arena, Icy joked, “Well looks like Baken got his wish.”
“Why’s that?” Yusuke asked.
“He’s finally going to be ‘cool’.” Icy smirked, looking back to the arena.
“Literally, you mean.” Kurama sniggered.
Yusuke laughed at her very obvious pun while Hiei’s smirk went up a notch.
“By the way, you’re up next, oh mighty team captain.” Icy declared, her snicker never leaving her face.
“You don’t have to tell me twice.” Yusuke snorted as he leapt into the ring.
“You just had to boost his ego, didn’t you?” Kurama quirked a brow at his mate.
Icy shrugged, “Hey, it’s been a while since we’ve worked together. Cut me some slack.”
“Besides,” she added, “When was the last time Yusuke let us down?”
Hiei and Kurama looked at each other.
“Like it or not, the onna has a point.” Hiei pointed out.
Icy glared that the half-fire demon, “I have an name, shorty. Use it.”
“Why you…” Hiei hissed, his hand on his katana.
Kurama sighed, “Why me?”
******************************************************* ****************************************
Back in the arena, Yusuke was up against Jin. The two opponents wound up getting along, and Koto soon told them to begin.
Jin eventually landed the first punch. Yusuke remarked that if he kept hitting like that, it would be one interesting battle.
Back in the arena, Jin was in the air, admiring the island.
Then, he swooped down and flew by Yusuke.
Yusuke turned around, taking a punch to the face. He tried to counter with a kick and missed.
Then, Jin pulled out his signature move, the Tornado Fist.
It was literally a tornado on his wrist. The punch missed Yusuke but the force forced him back. Yusuke went in for the hand to hand combat. Jin managed to block everything, except one punch. He fled back to the air to recover.
While he was recovering, Yusuke shot a ‘Spirit Gun’.
Jin created a tornado around him, deflecting the shot.
************************************************************ *****************************
On the sideline, Botan realized that Yusuke could not fight close and far away.
On the other hand, Koenma was concerned because Jin used wind for both offense and defense.
********************************************************* ********************************
Back on the arena, Jin came down with yet another Tornado Fist.
Yusuke did not even move.
But when Jin was at pointblank, Yusuke fired a ‘Spirit Gun’ into the Tornado.
One huge explosion later, Yusuke was thrown back to the medical tent.
Hiei informed him that Jin had blocked the ‘Spirit Gun’ with the Tornado Fist, and thus saving both of their lives
He added that a Shinobi would not be fooled with such tricks.
Both fighters got back on the ring.
Yusuke retorted he was not trying before.
Jin wanted him to try and prepared a Double Tornado Fist.
Yusuke thought up of a new strategy and went into a new stance.
Back outside the arena, everyone recognized it as Genkai's ‘Spirit Wave‘. They also realized the attack could kill him.
************************************************************* *****************************
Frowning, Icy commented, “He’s suicidal.”
Nobody disagreed.
******************************************************* ********************************
Jin was in the air with his Double Tornado Fist, and ready for the kill.
All of a sudden Yusuke muttered, "Time for something stupid."
His body was suddenly surrounded with spirit energy.
Everyone, namely Botan, Kuwabara, Keiko, Koenma was surprised.
Then Jin attacked with the first tornado fist. Yusuke then somehow managed to catch the fist.
Jin exclaimed in surprise, "No one can catch a tornado!"
Yusuke threw the fist, rendering the fist useless.
When Jin attacked with the second fist, Yusuke caught it with his foot.
He also rendered the second Tornado Fist useless.
Then, Yusuke yelled, "SPIRIT WAVE" and a punch full of blue energy nailed Jin right in the stomach.
********************************************************* ********************************
Icy rose a brow as she sensed the strong spirit energy emitting from Yusuke.
Jin went flying into the air. The Masked Fighter explained that the Spirit Wave was like Yusuke's shotgun attack and that he must have learned it from Genkai.
********************************************************** *******************************
In the stands, Keiko was shocked, but Shizuru commented for them to move.
All of a sudden, a sparkle was seen in the sky and Jin's body came crashing down in the stands.
Koto made a ten count, and Yusuke was declared the winner.
********************************************************** *******************************
Shizuru and Keiko left the stadium momentarily.
Meanwhile Yukina, the ice apparition, was outside looking for a way to get inside.
********************************************************** *******************************
Team Masho's owner was shocked at the victory. The crowd was going nuts because Team Urameshi might actually win! The owner then asked the team leader, Risho, if he could that next fight
Risho then gave the owner an idea.
Just as the last fight was getting underway, an announcement is made.
The committee announces that Yusuke was disqualified from the last fight because the ten-count was delayed when he was down.
The crowd was baffled, but then got excited because Yusuke was gone.
Botan yelled incredulously, "That is the biggest load of bull ever!"
Kurama was sweatdropping at the numerous ways of torture Icy had for the committee that was churning out of her head.
Risho simply just asked for the victory.
But out of the blue, Kuwabara stepped up to the arena. He replied that they should not give in to the cheaters, but win like real men.
“And never mind the woman here.” Icy muttered.
******************************************************** *********************************
Back to Shizuru and Keiko, when Shizuru was done, something gave her an idea.
She told Keiko to go and get Botan as fast as she can.
Shizuru approached Yukina and asked her what she was doing here.
Yukina replied that she was here to give support to Yusuke and Kuwabara. She also mentioned that she is looking for a long lost brother. Botan jumped up and hoped she did not know about Hiei. While she was thinking, Hiei sent a telepathic message saying, "Tell her and die."
So while they tried to get in, a group a demons blocked their way. Shizuru managed to beat up a few demons before threatening the rest.
************************************************************ **********************************
Back to the fight. Kuwabara could barely walk but he offered to fight. Just before the new fight began, Touya approached Risho and explained that they should not resort to cheating and that Gama gave his life honorably. Risho's arm turned into stone and hit Touya, before explaining that he had forgotten the real purpose.
So the next fight was set - Risho, team Masho's leader, vs. Kazuma Kuwabara, who could barely move.
With the fight between Risho and Kuwabara underway, Risho was beating the crap out of Kuwabara, who could not even use his spirit sword.
*********************************************************** ******************************
Outside Shizuru, Keiko, Botan and Yukina were trying to get back inside. The demon security guard would not let all four back in, so they showed him some human butt kicking. They got chased by more security guards until they saw Toguro.
Then, Yukina had a flashback to her kidnapping.
Toguro, however, allowed the four go by. Apparently, he wanted the Urameshi team to win because he wanted a rematch with Yusuke, just as Sakyo promised.
******************************************************** *********************************
Eventually Kuwabara got cocky and forced Risho to reveal his Shinobi strength.
As it turns out, Risho was the Master of Earth.
He held up his finger and the ground shook.
*********************************************************** ******************************
“What the…” Yusuke muttered.
“Earthquake?” Kurama questioned.
“Duh. They don’t call the Master of Earth for nothing.” Icy replied, rolling her eyes.
************************************************************ *****************************
Risho used his Armor of Clay technique to cover his body with earthen armor.
He then jumped up in the air and crashed into the ring like a giant meteor.
********************************************************** *******************************
“World Crashing?” Icy suggested, slightly amused.
Everyone else, minus Kurama, looked at her, not getting the reference.
Meanwhile, the redhead chuckled.
If Uranus heard that, she won’t let you off. he teased.
Too bad she isn’t here. Icy retorted.
******************************************************** *********************************
Kuwabara refused to go down.
Eventually Kuwabara realized he could not win.
He then made the fatal decision to use his life energy, just like Yusuke did against the final Saint Beast, Suzaku.
After saying his goodbyes to Hiei, Kurama, Icy, the Masked Fighter and Yusuke, and just as Risho was preparing to use the Meteor attack one last time, Kuwabara somehow managed to catch Risho before he hits the ground.
All of a sudden, he thought back to Yukina.
Suddenly, he heard a "KAZUMA." Cry.
Turning his head up, Kuwabara saw that Yukina was in the audience and rushed over to the stands.
********************************************************** *******************************
Ah, the power of love. Kurama commented knowingly.
Icy quirked a brow and looked at Kuwabara, then at Yukina.
I see… she nodded.
********************************************************** *******************************
With the appearance of the ice apparition, Kuwabara suddenly felt that his spirit energy was coming back to him.
Whipping out his ‘Spirit Sword, he turned to Risho who was thundering towards him.
Kuwabara thrust his sword into Risho, demolishing his Armor of Clay. Pulling his sword out, Kuwabara hit Risho one more time, sending him flying to the stands.
Team Urameshi had moved on to the semifinals!
