Round One

Hiei came out just in time to find a goddess trembling as Youko stared her down.
"Registration is over, sorry." replied the goddess, fear written all over her.
"Tell me, what is more important, keeping your job or keeping your life?" asked Youko
with a evil glint, as he flexed his razor sharp claws.
"Did I say the registration was over?" asked the goddess, as she quickly took out the
notebook. "Name."
"Kurama." replied Youko.
"Which goddess are you fighting for?" asked the goddess, as she quickly scribbled things
down.
"High goddess, Kagome." replied Youko without hesitation.
"Done?" asked Hiei, as he turned and left.
"Oh, and sign Hiei up for the goddess of fire." added Youko before he followed Hiei back
to the party. The goddess quickly wrote everything and scrambled away. Running so fast, the
goddess failed to notice the very ugly object in front of her, and tripped over a very ugly toad
demon.
"Ack! What with it woman!" squawked the toad.
"Who are you?" demanded the goddess.
"I am Jaken, Sesshoumaru-sama's faithful servant." reported the toad. "I came for the
goddess Rin. Sesshoumaru-sama wishes to see...."
"Got it." replied the goddess, as she disappeared into thin air. Soon she reappeared in her
office. "Ok, the last toad wanted the hand of goddess Rin. Wait, she's only a child! What to do,
what to do. I know, since no one has signed up for her...."trailed the goddess as she looked at the
list of goddesses that are to be wed.

~Next day~

Kagome, Sango, Chelsea, Krystal, Emily, Megan, and Kikyou with the other goddess
went to their own respective fields. Kagome in field one has just began. "Round one, start now!"
yelled the speaker. "Ruso verses Kurama!"
"A human?" sneered one of the demons, as Kurama stepped onto the stage in human
form. He had a calm expression on, as Ruso looked over confident.
"Begin!" yelled the speaker.
"Your going to die, human." warned Ruso, as he prepared to lunge at Kurama. But before
he could do so, he was already in pieces. The crowd had a confused look on, as Kurama glanced
up at Kagome who was smiling at him.
"And Kurama wins!" announced the speaker.
"What happened?" demanded one of the demons. "How did Ruso just become pieces?"
"It's impossible!" yelled another.
"Idiots." murmured Kagome. "Their eyes are so slow."
"What do you mean, Kagome-onee-chan?" asked Rin, looking at Kagome with wide eyes.
"While Ruso was giving his warning, Kurama had already gotten a seed in his hand. Just
as he finished, Kurama had lashed out, but it was so quick not many even saw him move."
"Wow!" gasped Rin, as she grinned at Kagome. "So Kurama's gonna win, right? I like
him. He'll be good for you."
"Thanks Rin, I hope he wins too." murmured Kagome. Kagome watched with a bored
expression as the rest of the demons competed. Kagome was shocked by some of the demons
power. Some would prove a rival for Kurama.
"You look like as if I'm going to die in the next battle." commented Kurama, as Kagome
smiled back at him.
"No, I'm just preparing myself so that if you DO die, I won't feel that bad." smiled
Kagome, as her eyes twinkled in happiness.
"Thanks for the encouragement." replied Kurama. "You have a very optimistic sister."
Kurama added, glancing at Rin.
"Yep!" chirped in Rin. "You two are perfect for each other!"
"No, I think I go better with Yusuke. Since we're like the opposite, ne?" asked Kagome,
giggling when she noticed Kurama losing control. But quickly stopped when Kurama's eyes had
a red tint, barely noticeable.
"Uh, Kagome-onee-chan, is that a wise choice of words?" asked Rin, as she hid behind
Kagome.
"Apparently, no. Kurama, I was just kidding!" called Kagome. "Who better than you?
You should know that!" Kagome sighed with relief when the red tint disappeared. "Note to self,
never do that again."
"Maybe it would be wiser if Rin writes it down." suggested Rin.
"What is that suppose to mean?" asked Kagome in a monotone voice.
"Eek!" cried Rin, as she ran off. "Just that you have a horrible memory." came the voice
of Rin from far away.

~Field two~

Sango was getting bored out of her mind. The last one had ended up a draw, since the
demon blew himself up in order to kill the other. "How stupid." muttered Sango.
"Next," called the speaker in field two. "We have Panu against Hiei."
"Hiei!" yelled Sango, as she jumped up from her seat.
"You better explain yourself." growled Hiei.
"Who gave you permission to fight for me?!" yelled Sango angrily, as she tried to glare a
hole through Hiei's head.
"Who would want to fight for a wench like you anyway?" asked Hiei, as Yusuke grinned
evilly.
"Come on, are you going to fight or not?" demanded Panu angrily, patience draining
away.
"Hiei, you gotta fight." stated Yusuke. "If you don't, then you forfeit, which means your
scared of Panu."
"Me, scared of a weakling like him? Pathetic." snorted Hiei, as he stepped up into the
ring. As soon as he got on, he drew his sword, and immediately sheathed it again. Hiei then
jumped down and stood next to Yusuke again.
"Hiei for..."trailed the speaker, when Paru fell to the ground in tiny pieces. Everyone had
their mouths hanging open.
"Hey, bastard! You better lose!" yelled Sango, as she balled her fists. "I don't wanna mate
with you!"
"Listen bitch, I don't either."replied Hiei, "but I am not going to lose to anyone on
purpose."
"It's his way of saying he's going to win you no matter what." translated Kanna, who was
gazing into her mirror. "Sango-nee-chan, quite being so hard on him."
"Hn." snorted Sango.
"You sound like him too." piped in Rin, who had just ran over from field one. "Kurama is
doing really good! He's winning! Kagome-onee-chan is so happy!"
"I'm glad." replied Sango enthusiastically. "Hey Hiei! If you win, you'll be dead before the
wedding!"yelled Sango just for good measure.
"I would like to see you try." retorted Hiei. "Bitch."
"Bastard! I'm gonna kick your ass to hell!" roared Sango.
"You could send a flea there is you tried." replied Hiei, looking as calm as ever.
"That's it! Your dead!" yelled Sango, as she lunged at Hiei. Thankfully, Kanna had
predicted this would happen, and had a tight grip on Sango.

~Field Three~

In field three, Chelsea was annoying the heck out of everyone there. "Shut up for a sec,
will you?" asked her mother.
"Sure." replied Chelsea. "Why is this so long? I'm getting tired. Look, someone's
littering! They're dirtying the ground! Look at that hideously ugly thing! Can't believe he's in
this." Chelsea's mother gave an exasperated sigh, and shook her head.
"I think someone fancies you." pointed out her mother.
"Who, me?" asked Chelsea, as she continued on her babbling.

***

~Field Four~

Krystal was heating up. The wind was picking up, as she got more agitated. "That stupid
idiot with the ugly haircut is winning!"
"He's not that ugly, is he?" asked another goddess, who was already mated from the last
ceremony. "And his name is David."
"A pathetic demon, if you ask me." yelled Krystal, so everyone heard her.
"Thanks!" called up David. "I like being pathetic."
"Your stupid too!" yelled Krystal.
"Yea, that's cool!" called up David.
"He's an idiot." muttered Krystal, as she flopped back down.

***

~Field Five~

Field five was quite, as the goddess of peace Emily sat there with a calm expression. "I
hope no one gets hurt." Emily suddenly spoke up in a quite, timid voice.
"Do you like any of them?" asked another goddess.
Emily turned bright red, as she refused to reply. But kept on staring. The other goddess
followed her gaze to a demon who was fooling around. "I see." laughed the goddess.
"Huh?" asked Emily with a confused expression. "Why do they have to fight? Can't we
just settle this with words? Or, maybe, we can draw sticks!"
"You haven't changed a bit." murmured the other goddess.

***

~Feudal Japan~

Inuyasha kept practicing with his sword, determined to avenge both Kikyou and Kagome.
"I love you both." murmured Inuyasha.
"Is he over doing it?" asked Miroku, as he just finished saying another prayer for Sango
and Kagome. "Though I miss Sango a lot too."
"I miss Kagome." piped in Shippo. "I hope she can rest in peace."
"Me too." added Miroku.
"Inuyasha is working so hard, I almost feel bad for him." murmured Shippo. "Hey!"
"What?" asked Miroku.
"Inuyasha's gone!" yelled Shippo.
"What?" asked Miroku, as he looked around, and sure enough, Inuyasha was no where in
sight.
"Let's find him before he gets himself killed." stated Miroku frantically, as he ran off
toward the direction where he thought Inuyasha might have ran to. Right after Miroku left,
Inuyasha appeared from inside the hut.
"Where's Miroku and Shippo?" asked Inuyasha to himself, as he burped. "Now I can
continue training again, now that I'm full.

***

~Field Six~

"He's so handsome." swooned Megan, as she looked at her prince charming. "Who is
he?"
"I think his name is Walter." replied Rin, who had popped out of nowhere. "I came to
check up on you! Kagome's no fun right now. She's to busy worrying over Kurama, who's
perfectly fine. And Sango is cursing Hiei to hell, while Chelsea.....who in their right mind would
go there? Krystal is having a verbal fight with David, and Emily isn't much of a talker.
And...your to busy swooning over Walter."
"He's so cute." whispered Megan.
Rin sighed, got up and left. "Grown-ups, I'll never understand them."

~Field Seven~

Kikyou sat in her seat as the crickets chirped. No one was there except for the speaker.
"Karasu, there's no one here!" fumed Kikyou.
"Round one!" exclaimed the speaker, as Kikyou perked up. "Jaken against no one!" Jaken
stumbled up onto the stage. "And he wins!" exclaimed the speaker.
"Ew!" snorted Kikyou as Jaken had hearts in his eyes.
"I'll mate with you as soon as I bring my master what he wants." stated Jaken dreamily.
"Where's Rin?"
"Karasu, take me away, I'm gonna puke." gasped out Kikyou, as she ran away with
Karasu trailing behind.
"Wait for me, my love!" cried Jaken, as he followed as closely as he could.

~Break time~


Kagome quickly rushed towards Kurama and enveloped him in a hug. "You were great!
You improved a lot!"
"Hey, hey!" yelled Sango, as she got Kurama and Kagome's attention. "Go get a room."
"Fox!" growled out Hiei. "Was signing me up one of your bright ideas?"
"That's great!" exclaimed Kagome, "Sango has been dreaming of Hiei ever since we
left." Hiei gave Sango a cold glare, as Sango glared at Kagome.
"She's lying. She's the one dreaming about Kurama." retorted Sango.
"Yea, I dream about Kurama every night. But you dream of Hiei every night too." added
Kagome.
"Me, miss Hiei? In your dreams. Who would miss that bastard?" asked Sango. Kagome
didn't reply, and just flashed Kurama a knowing look.
"Denial." murmured Kagome as the break ended, and round two is beginning
