Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Fire or Ice? ❯ Kuwabara's Fight ( Chapter 12 )

 

Chapter 12

 

 

Hiei lifted his head up, and looked around the dimly lit room. It was similar to the one he had seen earlier, with the torches. Except, this one was larger, and instead of torches, there were bodies. His, Yusuke's, Kurama's, and Kuwabara's. Everyone's, except for Arc's.

 

The small fire that hung down from the ceiling in the middle of the room suddenly grew, so they could see their surroundings more easily.

 

Just as Kuwabara and Yusuke woke from their stupor, a giant, blue demon walked into the room. His white hair trailed over his shoulders and around his horns. Large white spikes rested on his shoulders and back, and his yellow eyes searched around the room, staring at them.

 

His muscular, hunched over body came to a halt in front of Yusuke.

 

“Detective, it's so nice of you to come and see me”, he said, as he breathed heavily in front of the still groggy boy's face.

 

Yusuke turned his head to the side, and scrunched up his nose.

 

“Stop breathing on me you over grown wart”, he squealed.

 

“How dare you”, the demon breathed even closer to his face.

 

“Raidon”, Kurama said. The demon turned towards him.

 

“What do you want with us”, Kurama asked.

 

The demon stopped picking on Yusuke and walked over towards Kurama. Their eyes were level, seeing as how they were all levered off the ground about five feet.

 

“All I want to do is have some fun. Especially with you, Kurama”, the demon said in a more feminine voice. The demon suddenly giggled, and the gang looked on in horror and shock.

 

'That's creepy', Yusuke thought.

 

“Don't tell me you've already forgotten about me, Kurama”, the female voice said again, as it floated across his face.

 

“Who are you”, Kurama asked confused.

 

The demon giggled again, and walked away from him, back to the center of the room.

 

“I've become a lot stronger since the last time we met”, it continued.

 

The fire from the light above him, suddenly fell, and lit up the demon's body. The spikes disappeared into the demon's back and arms, as his hair turned black. His body shrunk, and crunched as it went back to its usual from; the horns disappearing from the top of its head. The gold eyes closed, and than shot back open; that were now silver.

 

The figure now standing before them was of a small, beautiful young woman. Her black hair cascaded over her naked back. The flames around her steadily began to weave around her body, creating a gold dress.

 

Flames reappeared in the burnt out bowl above her.

 

She looked up at them with her silver, beady eyes, and stared at Kurama.

 

“Do you still not remember me, my little thief”, she asked.

 

“Ruri”, he said in distaste.

 

She clapped in a mocking manner, and said, “Yes. Congratulations, you've won the grand prize!”

 

She laughed wickedly, as she snapped her fingers. The walls that they were chained against began to move backwards, as the ceiling raised, and than disappeared.

 

Ruri disappeared, and all you could hear was her laughter.

 

A large arena appeared in front of them, and Ruri reappeared to the side of it, sitting down in a large chair welded of bones.

 

“Now, if you want to win, and escape with your lives, than you must beat my best fighter”, she sneered.

 

Kuwabara's chains opened and he fell to the ground.

 

“You, shall be first”, she said.

 

He went up to the arena, with many yells from Yusuke.

 

“Come on Kuwabara! Kill the bastard!”

 

Kuwabara turned around and gave him a thumbs up, as he grinned widely.

 

“This should be easy.”

 

“Begin”, Ruri shouted.

 

“What”, Kuwabara said, as he looked around the arena.

 

No one was there.

 

“Where in the hell is he”, he shouted to Ruri.

 

A sudden mist formed around him, and a pair of red eyes stared at him. The demon growled at him, and Kuwabara smiled as he yelled, “Come and get me!”

 

The demon was gone in a flash, and Kuwabara looked around him, but couldn't find his opponent.

 

He looked up when he heard a sudden crack, as if ice was breaking.

 

A pale figure, with white hair and ice blue eyes flew down at him. A sharp dagger of ice clutched in their hand came hurtling down at him.

 

Kuwabara jumped out of the way just in time, as the dagger make contact with the tile floor. The arena floor cracked, but the blade remained unharmed.

 

The mist began to disappear, and everyone got a good look at the figure in front of them.

 

“A-arc”, Kuwabara stuttered.

 

“Did you miss me”, she asked with a smile.
