Chapter 2: The Semi-Final Fight

************************************************************ *********************************

After talking to Kayko, Yusuke was confronted by Botan. She told him that his Spirit Beast was about to hatch soon and Koenma had returned to the Spirit World to get it.

Koenma, in his teenage self, startled the two by appearing behind Yusuke and showed the Spirit Detective the big egg.

Koenma then warned Yusuke that the egg would consume every part of him if he was evil.

Then, she sky grew dark and a bright light descended on the egg, which hatched after the light died down.

However, no one could see where the beast was.

After looking Yusuke, Botan and Koenma finally saw the ‘beast’, which turned out to be a small blue bird with big floppy ears.

Both Botan and Koenma burst out laughing.

Back at the hotel, Botan, Shizuru and Keiko and Kuwabara were teasing Yusuke about his ‘terrifying’ beast.

The bird, however, seemed to find Yusuke’s hair a very comfortable place to rest on.

Ticked off, Yusuke demanded the four out of his, or rather Kuwabara’s room.

************************************************************ *********************************

Icy was sitting comfortably on the beach, watching the waves lap at the shoreline as the sun begun to set. Gulls flew overhead, coming to rest on their nests at the rocky edge of the cliff.

“You just love the sea, don’t you?” Kurama asked, standing behind her.

“That I do.” Icy admitted, turning back to face her mate.

Kurama took the opportunity to slide a rose into her hair.

Icy blushed faintly and muttered, “Arigato.”

The redhead then pulled her up and after patting the sand off, the pair walked by to the hotel, hand in hand.

************************************************************ *********************************

The next day, the team tried to scope out the competition.

Team Uraotogi had taken care of Team Gokki 6 in two minutes flat.

Only the badly injured Hiei, Kurama and the not-so-injured Icy were present to watch the fight.

“Those guys are late. Don’t they know what time-keeping is?” Icy hissed, glaring at the door, as if it had offended her.

“Relax Blue. They’ll be here.” Kurama assured his mate.

“I hope.” he muttered.

Hiei, who heard his comment, sniggered.

Ten minutes later, the rest of the team finally arrived.

“We’re not late?” Yusuke asked, looking down at the arena.

One Hiiro Yui-patented death glare from Icy told him otherwise.

“Yusuke, what’s that sitting on your head?” Hiei popped the question.

Yusuke winced.

“Don’t ask.” he muttered.

Icy smirked, she knew what that was.

“That Spirit Egg of yours finally hatched?” she asked, rather amused.

Yusuke turned a glare at his ex-partner who in turn smiled sweetly.

Kurama and Kuwabara sweatdropped.

Then, Kuwabara told the two injured team members to go to Yukina for healing, not knowing she was Hiei's sister.

He also mentioned her quest for finding her brother.

Now the joke was on Hiei as Yusuke and Kurama started mocking the half fire demon.

Icy quirked a brow at the redhead.

Is there something I ought to know? she asked him mentally.

Yukina and Hiei are half siblings. Kurama answered, sniggering at the back of his head.

And that idiot doesn’t know? Icy pressed, referring obviously to Kuwabara.

Nope. the kitsune thief in disguise grinned.

You’re evil. Icy teased.

Am not. Kurama protested.

“I still say you are.” Icy breathed mischievously into his ear, causing Kurama to shiver.

“You’re doing this on purpose.” the redhead mumbled.

Then the Team Toguro showed up, breaking up the lovers’ mild tiff. Toguro and his younger brother were there, as well as a guy in black with mask; Karasu; and a guy clad in armor; Bui.

The crowd roared in praise.

********************************************************** *******************************

Back in the waiting room, Yusuke and the Masked Fight got into a verbal fight.

As insults were thrown across the room, the rest of the team looked on.

Hiei was leaning against the window. Kurama and Icy were leaning against the wall.

Kuwabara was sitting at the table.

“I’m going to need Paracodol if this keeps up.” Icy muttered rubbing her temple.

Kurama’s arm wrapped possessively around her waist, as if to comfort her.

Possessive, aren’t we? Icy teased back.

Mine. Kurama replied firmly.

********************************************************** *************************************

The Masked Fighter retorted she would be a better leader than Yusuke.

After leading him to a secluded place, she revealed herself to be Genkai.

Then, the trainer wanted him to shoot a rock.

Yusuke compiled and did.

In retaliation, Genkai shot a mountain.

As she did, she returned into her young self. She divulged that this was the effect of the Spirit Wave.

She also told Yusuke he had one last test.

Genkai then told Yusuke that his final test was to kill her.

Yusuke started to ponder and had second thoughts.

He later met up with Genkai in a cave and told her that he could not.

She told him that was the first part of the test. She would not give her power to someone who would kill her.

She also revealed that her source of power was her Spirit Wave Orb.

She conjured a bright ball of energy and Yusuke's test was to absorb it.

He agreed to the terms, even though the test could very well kill him.

Genkai forced the orb in him.

He felt nothing at first, but then he collapsed in pain.

************************************************************ ****************************

In a new ring, the semifinals begin. Team Urameshi entered, missing two of their members; Genkai and Yusuke.

They were facing Team Uraotogi.

“Where are they?” Kuwabara asked, looking around.

“Yusuke’s taking his last test.” Icy answered seriously, mentally wincing at the amount of pain Yusuke was probably going through.

Hiei, Kuwabara and Kurama rose a brow at the ice demoness.

Icy sighed, “Absorbing Genkai’s Spirit Wave Globe.” she elaborated.

Hiei’s eyes widened.

Kurama cringed.

You think he’s really for that? he asked her.

Genkai thought he would be. Icy replied.

Kuwabara just plain did not get it.

After the rather uncomfortable silence, Hiei and Shishiwakamaru agreed to choose the fight by dice.

What are the chances of that happening? Icy mused.

Was that intentional? Kurama asked.

Maybe. Icy suggested.

The first fight was Hiei and Makintaro.

Hiei wiped out his katana after Makintaro wanted him to make a move.

Hiei then held up Makintaro severed arm.

“He's fast!” Koenma noted.

George nodded, his eyes wide open, “I need some eye drops!”

“When did he…” Kuwabara was stunned.

“About 1.5 milliseconds ago.” Icy answered.

Kurama rose an eyebrow.

“You caught that?” he asked.

Icy merely shrugged, without revealing how.

************************************************************* *****************************

Makintaro then revealed his attack, the Axe-blade fist.

However, Hiei was too quick for him and stabbed his head.

************************************************************ ********************************

Meanwhile, Genkai watched on as Yusuke suffered through her test.

Yusuke was still in the midst of Genkai's ‘Spirit Wave Orb’ absorption test.

After a while, Genkai realized that this was too much for Yusuke and tried to take the orb back

However, Yusuke reclaimed it. He wanted to finish the test.

************************************************************ ********************************

Back in the ring, Shishiwakamuru rolled the dice.

It landed on Kuro Momotaro and a free space for Team Urameshi.

Hiei volunteered to fight and both fighters stepped in.

Kuro then asked for Hiei's katana which he later licked the blade and cut himself with it.

************************************************************** ******************************

On the sidelines, Icy commented, “Hiei’d better be wary of this one.”

Kuwabara asked, “How come?”

“Simple, that freak.” Icy pointed to Momotaro, “Has the ability to memorize whatever weapons his body is subjected to. Not only that, he can also use ‘Spirit Dumplings’ to build up his armor.”

“That’s bad.” Kurama noted.

*********************************************************** ***************************************

The fight assued when Kuro pulled out his Spirit Dumpling out of his belt and squeezed it.

After inhaling the fumes from the sphere, hair started to grow from Kuro’s body.

This was his first beast armor, the Armor of the Ape.

************************************************************* ********************************

“Gee, someone skipped the evolution stage.” Icy snickered.

Kurama chuckled.

******************************************************** ***********************************

Hiei then tried to attack with his sword, but it broke in three pieces.

Kuro gave him a few punches, sending him flying into the wall.

Kuro explained once his body was hit with an attack, it memorized the pain and Spirit Dumplings were merely a catalyst that rendered his body immune to the attack.

Then Kuro asked for the ‘Darkness’ attack.

Hiei removed his bandage, revealing his Jagan eye and began the attack.

********************************************************** **********************************

On the side, Kurama explained that the ‘Darkness’ attack drained his user of spirit energy and that Hiei did not have enough spirit energy to execute the ‘Dragon of the Darkness Flame’ move.

He knows that, dear. Just watch. Icy told him.

************************************************************* *****************************

Now, Hiei's arm was filled with energy as he punched Kuro with the ‘Fist of the Mortal Flame’.

**************************************************** **************************************

See what I mean? Icy quirked a brow at her worried mate.

Kurama then added that this is like the ‘Darkness’ technique except the Flame is from Human World.

*********************************************************** *******************************

Kuro stood right back up and released another Spirit Dumpling.

He now exhibited his second beast armor, Armor of the Phoenix, which made him look like a giant bird.

************************************************************ ******************************

“First Godzilla, now Big Bird. What’s next?” Icy mused out loud.

“Oscar?” Kuwabara suggested.

If he meant that trashcan-loving dude, I swear I’ll… Kurama hissed.

Icy let out a mental laugh.

*********************************************************** *******************************

Hiei continued his struggle against Kuro Momataro, who had just transformed to his second armor of beast, the Phoenix Armor.

Kuro now decided to show off by transforming into his third, and most powerful armor, the Wolf Armor.

*********************************************************** *******************************

“You’re wrong. Now it’s the werewolf.” Icy told Kuwabara as Kuro turned into his wolf self.

I sssooo saw that one coming. Kurama muttered mentally.

******************************************************** **********************************


Kuro threw his last Spirit Dumpling, and he transformed into his hideous wolf form.

Hiei redrew his broken blade, and Kuro mocked, telling him that if his sword could not on the first armor, what were the odds of it working on the third.

Hiei then used the power he stored for his ‘Dragon of the Darkness Flame’ and channeled into his sword, creating the ‘Sword of the Darkness Flame’.

Kuro jumps to bite him, and Hiei killed him in midair.

********************************************************** *************************************

Dark Fire Sword Blaster? Icy suggested, slightly amused.

Everybody’s ripping off Uranus. Kurama replied, laughingly.

Kuwabara nodded and remarked, “Hm, what he did isn't that different from what I do with my Spirit Sword, except it‘s a lot more powerful.”

Do you think he realized he’d just insulted himself? Icy inquired jokingly.

I think not. Kurama admitted.

Then, Kuwabara exclaimed, “Hey, wait! Were you saying that my Spirit Sword lacks any art or tact?!”
Hiei scoffed, “Of course.” as he leapt down.

I’ll think he just did. Kurama added.

*********************************************************** *******************************

The next dice roll revealed that it was Kurama’s turn to battle.

Ura Urashima was a small boy who battled with a fishing pole.

He started by swinging it in a circle, and Kurama produced a rose and countered with his Rose Whip.

They started having a whip battle, running diagonally across the arena.

*********************************************************** *******************************

“A whip fight. Now I’ve seen it all.” Icy muttered, rolling her eyes.

Hiei then revealed that Kurama had a bad habit of playing around until he could determine the nature of his opponent and devise a strategy from it.

Icy sighed, “He just loves playing with his opponents, doesn’t he?”

******************************************************* ***********************************

Back in the fight, Ura Urashima launched into a sob story about his sick grandmother, and he was only on the team because Shishiwakamaru, the team leader, promised him riches through telepathy.

He asked Kurama to kill him, since he felt it was the only way out.

Kurama advised that he could fake his death by allowing him to hit him with the Rose Whip in a way that would knock him out.

Ura falsely agreed.

********************************************************** ********************************

Don’t tell me you seriously believe that? Icy’s incredulous voice sounded in Kurama’s head.

Why? the redhead asked.

Because Red, 99.99% of all sob stories told by opponents are false. They only want you to lower your guard. Icy replied.

And the 0.01%? Kurama pressed.

Some truth woven around by lies. Icy answered. So technically, all of them are false.

I’ll take my chances. Kurama retorted.

Then, you’d better take a very good look around you, Red. Icy advised.

Huh? Kurama was confused.

Your head is as good as mine. Figure that out yourself. By the way, I still reserve the right to tell you ‘I told you so’ after this. Icy replied and shut the link off.
Kurama sweatdropped.

Icy muttered profanities under her breath after the link broke off.

Hiei rose a brow.

“He’s still going for Urashima’s bait even when I warned him not to.” Icy answered his unasked question.

“You know he’s stubborn.” Hiei pointed out.

“And I’m his mate why…?” Icy joked.

Hiei smirked in agreement.

******************************************************* ************************************

Kurama went in for the hit when Ura Urashima disappeared.

He was soon hit by the fishing pole and the cruel laughter told Kurama was tricked.

Ura Urashima decided to unleash a great weapon known as the Idunn Box.

The magic inside the box would cause anyone but the user who breathed the smoke to go back in age and become a helpless baby.

Kurama tried to hold his breath, but he breathed the smoke nonetheless, and we see him go back in age.

But the Idunn Box had pushed him too far.

And as we all know, Kurama was a fox named Yoko before possessing the human baby Suiji, so it took him back to before he was born; Kurama has transformed into Yoko Kurama!
