Chapter 13: The First Fight

Author's Note: Wow, my first real fighting chapter. I hope this is good enough for you people who tell me I can't write fight scenes. I hope it turns out good. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been a bit lazy. But, I still want to thanks my reviewers and wish I owned YYH.

The next morning had arrived quickly, the team felt as though they hadn't gotten any sleep. Today was the day that they had to go to a short opening ceremony, then they'd find out when they were to fight.

"Come on you weaklings, time to get up!" yelled Kyo as he was digging through his luggage, trying to find a pair of pants. "Okay, who took my pants?"

"I dunno Kyo, why don't you check the other rooms." Said Kenji with a smirk. "Make sure to check everywhere." He added.

"I'll get you when I find them!" Kyo yelled back, as he left their room to find the pants.

"So, where did you hide them again?" asked Kuronue, as he came into the room brushing his teeth.

"I got them wet, then put them in the freezer." Bragged Kenji. "I couldn't think of any place else to put them."

"I'm surprised you know how to think!" yelled Kazuma from the living room

"You wanna say that to my face shrimp?" asked Kenji, walking into the living room.

"Children, will you please stop this?" said Elijah from the bathroom. "The opening ceremony starts in half an hour and we have to be there." He came out fully dressed. "I'm going to get some food. You guys had better be ready when I get back." He left their room.

The boys heard Kyo scream, "My pants! They're frozen solid! I can't wear these pants! Okay, which one of you put my pants in the freezer?"

"That'd be me." Said Kenji. "Maybe if you put them in the microwave they'll defrost."

"Good idea." Kyo took his pants out of the freezer and put them in the mircowave and set it for five minutes. "I put it on for five minutes because they're really icy."

"Okay. We'll be back when the pants are done." Snickered Kuronue, then went back to his room to get dressed. Kazuma followed Kuronue and Kenji went into his own room.

"I can't believe he fell for it." Said Kazuma, as he put his pants on. " The guy actually put the pants in the microwave. Even Kenji isn't dumb enough to fall for that."

"Well, you have to admit, my sister did do a pretty good job with Kenji. Here's stronger, smarter, and not as wild as he used to be." Kuronue sighed.

They heard Kyo scream again. "The pants are one fire! And I think the microwave's gonna explode!"

The boys ran into the living room just as the microwave caught on fire. "I can't believe you fell for that!" laughed Kenji. "Even I didn't fall for that one and I'm stupid!"

At that moment, Elijah came into the room, not looking very happy. "What's going on in here?" he yelled, noticing the microwave on fire. "The ceremony is in five minutes, and you four are still not ready!"

"My pants are on fire!" yelled Kyo.

"I'm ready." Said Kuonue.

"So am I." Kazuma squeaked.

"For once, you're not waiting on me, because I'm ready too!" yelled Kenji. "It's Kyo we're waiting for."

After Kyo got dressed, the team hurried down to the arena where the opening ceremony was being held.

"What took you so long?" asked Kurama. "The ceremony already began."

"We had a little problem." Said Kyo, as he glared at Kenji.

Kenji started to laugh. "All I did was put his pants in the freezer. Then, the smart guy here decided to put his pants in the microwave and they caught on fire."

"Good one," snickered Yusuke. "Nobody's ever but them in the microwave before."

Kuronue looked around the group, trying to find his sister, but she wasn't there. "Hey, dad. Where's Yuki?" he asked.

"Well, I guess this is the time I should tell the team what Yuki's doing." Sighed Koenma. "Okay, the reason Yuki isn't here is because she's doing some undercover work for me. She turned herself to her Youko form and is looking around the other team's rooms trying to look for missing artifacts. So, if any of you see her, she'll probably be with another team, and don't try talking to her either. She's pretending not to know any of you. Is that clear? Stay away from Yuki during this tournament."

The boys nodded. They watched as the announcer explained all the rules of the tournament. After the explanation of the rules, the announcer called all the teams to the center of the arena to be introduced.

"So, where do we go again?" asked Kyo.

"We keep walking down this hall until we see a sign that says Stage Left Entrance'. Then we go down that hall then we get to the exit." Said Kazuma, who was reading the map.

The boys ran down the hall until they saw the sign, then followed that hall until they reached the area where they would fight. They got there in just enough time to hear the announcer say,

"Next up is Team Urameshi!"

Some of the crowd cheered when they heard the team's name, the others booed. The booers were mainly the ones who had been at the last tournament where Team Urameshi had won. They stepped onto the fighting platform and waved at their fans.

"And, our last team is…. Team Sayo!" yelled the announcer.

The Urameshi team got off the platform so that team Sayo could have their chance in the spotlight. Team Sayo was lead by an odd looking demon with bat-like wings and fuzzy cat ears. The whole team radiated a strange type of Spirit Energy.

"I don't trust that one." Said Elijah, pointing to the one with the ears and wings.

The demon glared at Elijah, then looked at a woman who was leaning on the wall as if asking for something. The woman shook her head 'no' and looked around the stadium.

Kurama watched the scene from the stands; he'd seen that type of energy before. Then, he noticed a demon woman looking at him from near the platform. He'd seen this cat demon with the long brown hair and piercing silver eyes before.

"That can't be… Rain?" he said to himself.

"Who's Rain?" asked Botan from next to him.

"She's someone from a long time ago. But that can't be her. No, it is her. Nobody else has a child with crow wings and cat ears. But, how?" he kept asking himself. "Why would she be here?"

"What's the deal with this Rain woman?" Botan looked at her husband. "Is she the one who took the artifacts?"

"No, Rain would never do that. The only reason she could possibly be here is for…. Revenge."

"Revenge on you? Why? What did you do to her Kurama?" Botan yelled.

"I didn't do anything to her." He tried to calm his wife down. "I just hope that our team doesn't have to fight hers."

"The first fight is going to begin in twenty minutes. Will teams Urameshi and Sayo please prepare yourselves." Said the announcer.

"Hey, looks like we get to fight the cat-bird thing's team first." Laughed Kenji.

"That team gives me a creepy feeling." Said Kuronue. "Something just doesn't seem right about them."

"Well, the fact that their leader is half cat and half bird scares me enough." Joked Kyo.

"Yeah, but there's something about that woman. I saw him look at her and she told him not to do anything." Said Elijah.

"Well, maybe if we just wait here for twenty minutes. We can examine the team more and see what's up with them." Suggested Kazuma.

They agreed to wait for Team Sayo to come back. About five minutes later, the team came back out to the arena. Along with the team was the strange demon woman. What surprised the team most was that the catbird demon was walking with his arms wrapped another demon. She was a female Youko wearing a black dress. It was Yuki.

She noticed Team Urameshi was staring at her in shock. Especially Elijah, who tried to keep telling himself that she was undercover and still, loved him. Yuki gave him an apologetic look before the demon tipped her chin upward to meet his face.

"Don't waste your time looking at those humans." He growled, then touched is nose to hers. He then started to place little kisses going down her neck. She turned around to put a hand behind his head, kissing him forcefully as his hands moved from her shoulders to her waist.

Elijah watched the scene painfully. He knew that his girlfriend was an incredible actress, but she didn't seem to be acting. He turned away, not able to watch anymore and searched the crowd for any sign of his family.

Yuki pulled away from the demon and went over to talk to the woman. The two left the fighting area and went into the hallway to continue their conversation.

Ten minutes later, Yuki and the woman came back outside just in time for the fight to start. The two teams had agreed on five one-on-one fights. The team that won the most fights was the winner.

The first fight was Kazuma versus Ari, the dog demon. (A/N: This guy pretty much looks like Inuyasha since I don't wanna describe him.)

"I gonna slice you up into bite size pieces!" yelled Ari as they stepped onto the platform.

"Okay, the first round is Kazuma versus Ari. Ready… Fight!!" said the announcer.

Ari began the fight by attacking with a series of quick, powerful punches, which Kauzma dodged. The demon tried to surprise him by kicking him instead, but Kazuma sensed the attack and grabbed Ari's leg as he tried to kick, then punched him in the stomach. Ari stumbled backward a few feet before launching back at Kazuma and punched the boy in the face.

"It takes more than a little surprise punch to get me, human boy." The demon growled as his spirit energy swirled around him like a tornado.

"Spirit Sword!" Kazuma yelled as his sword appeared into his hands.

"You little toy can't hurt me!" Ari pointed his right hand at Kauzuma's sword, pulling his hand back toward his body. The sword came out of Kazuma's hands and began to float in front of him. The demon moved his hand back and forth in the swinging motion, the sword to doing the same. Kazuma dodged the sword a few times, but finally Ari had slashed him across his left shoulder.

"So, you're telekinetic. That might be a problem, if I only had one sword. But, luckily, I don't. Spirit Sword!" Another Spirit Sword appeared where the other one had been. Kazuma attacked the floating sword with his own, but it kept blocking his swings. Then, he had a though. "Wait, even though you're controlling it, it's still my spirit energy. If I can disable it then you can't use it anymore." He stood still for a moment holding his other sword and disabled the one being controlled by Ari. When the sword disappeared, Kazuma launched himself at Ari, ready to stab the demon in the stomach. "Now, you're done for!"

"Not so fast, little boy." Sneered Ari. Once again, he used his telekinesis to steal the sword from Kazuma. He tossed the sword behind Kazuma and slashed the boy on the back from behind. The sword became disabled as Kazuma fell to the ground with a bleeding gash on his back. He hit his head on the platform, knocking himself unconscious. Ari pointed his left hand at the boy then raised him up in the air, then threw him out the ring and onto the grass.

The announcer ran over to Kazuma began to count. "One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six… Seven…Eight…Nine…Ten!! Ari is… the winner!" The whole crowd cheered for Ari. He jumped out the ring and ran back to his team.

"I've seen that power before." Growled Kurama. "It is her." Kurama got up and headed for the exit to the stands.

"Kurama, where are you going?" asked Botan.

"I have to go down to arena. I have to get Yuki away from that team. It isn't safe for Yuki to be near Rain." He left through the exit.

"No! My baby!" yelled Yukina as she started to cry.

"It's okay, honey." Said Kuwabara, as he hugged her. "They'll get a healer to heal him and he'll be all better. Don't worry."

Kurama ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and into the arena. Luckily, he had come in on the side that Team Sayo was standing on.

"Well, well. If it isn't my old friend Kurama." Sad Rain, sarcastically. "I was hoping to see you again one day. Maybe not at this tournament, but in a way I'm glad you're here. Except, you look absolutely terrible as a human. What happened to my beautiful friend from long ago?" she walked around him in circles, taking in the full view of him. "I can tell by the look on your face that you really don't want to see me. You're still thinking about that promise I made to you, right? Well then, if you'd wanted to keep yourself a secret. You shouldn't have sent your daughter who looks exactly like you to come and play around with my team." When she said the word 'daughter', she pulled Yuki over to them using her power.

"Yuki. Please don't hurt her Rain. She's my only daughter." Kurama begged. "If you want to do something. Do it to me. But leave me family out of this."

"Dad, what's going on?" yelled Kuronue, as he ran over to them.

"Nothing Kuronue. Just go back to the team." He pointed to the Urameshi team, who were carrying Kazuma to the infirmary.

Rain looked at Kurama. "How could you?" she asked, before releasing Yuki before she fell to the ground, sobbing.

Author's note: So, how was that? I liked it. I hope the fight was better than my last one. I think it was. It might not have been as long as I would've liked. But, I'll try to make the next fights longer. This was by far my longest chapter. I wasn't going to add anything with Rain in it until later chapters, but I decided that now would be better. What's the deal with her anyway, you ask? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter. Peace out dawgs.
