Thank you for all of your reviews!

The Shadow Fox Tale

Chapter Six: Kuwabara Against Yih

The smoke cleared as a figure, a female youkai to be exact, with a microphone and a set of white rabbit-like ears and tail appeared at the center of the stage. Her pink eyes sparkled as she announced though the mike in her hands. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, humans and youkai, welcome to the final round of the First Annual Shadow Tournament. I am Chenne, your cute host for this evening." Loud cheer came from the audience as she gestured the set of doors to her right, "In the west corner, are the last champions of our used-to-be favorite tournament, the Ankoku Bujutsukai. Let's welcome the Urmeshi team!" There were rude boos and angry shouts that sounded unpleasantly like "traitors" from the mobs of youkai as the Reikai Tanteis emerged from behind the doors. Hiei snorted lightly.

"Well," Kurama said sarcastically, "At least it wasn't as loud as the Ankoku Bujutsukai."

The spiky-haired youkai snorted again, "That's only because they don't want the Maikai lord to cut off their 'precious' heads." The redhead chuckled but his chuckling ceased as the other shot him a death glare.

Lover or no, when Hiei wants to kill you……… Well, he kills you.

The announcer once again started talking in that overly cheerful tone of hers, which sounded suspiciously like a certain blue-haired, pink-eyed ferry girl. Chenne gestured to her left, "And in the east corner, is our present day's favorite team, let's welcome TEEEEAAAAM SHADOW FOX!!" The crowd went wild as the pair of huge crimson doors opened and four caped figures walked through and into the view of the audience and their opponents. Hiei snorted once again at the audience's "foolish behavior;" Kurama's body tensed and he inched closer to the other youkai.

"Please, fighters from both teams for the first match, step up to the arena, and let's get this match started!" Chenne said through the microphone. Kuwabara jumped onto the platform like the team planned as one of the caped figures calmly stepped onto the staircase which only team Shadow Fox possessed, in a swift motion the figure threw away its min cape onto the grass carpet that surrounded the fighting arena. The tanteis got a better look at the figure's features as he stepped forward. It wasn't Shuenn. The audience youkai seemed to notice as well, for most of them stopped their cheering and lowered their banners of "WE LOVE SHUENN AND SHADOW FOX!"

The guy had blue eyes that shone like sapphires and short blond hair with the color of the sun; he would have been considered handsome if it weren't for the huge scar on his face, starting from the right side of his forehead across his nose all the way down to his lower left cheek, and that big, ugly, superior, not to mention sick and unpleasant smile on his features. He also got cat-like ears sticking out of his golden locks, but the tail was nowhere in sight. He was dressed in a green tunic with the same shade as the grass around the fighting arena and three yellow furry belts that clung tightly to his waist. The demon studied Kuwabara from head to toe, making the nigen very uncomfortable, and his smile widened.

"Why don't you take that big fat smile of yours off and stuff it down your down your disgusting throat!" Kuwabara yelled with his Special Puking Impression (TM) to the effect, there were beats of sweat rolling down his forehead already, this youkai gave him a very bad feeling about whatever that was going to happen.……..

Deep in his thoughts, the nigen had completely ignored the first sentence of the announcer, until she started the fight, but the others heard it loud and clear. "Match one: Kuwabara from the Urmeshi team and from the Shadow fox team, Yih." Chenne announced in her most serious tone, which was considered the playful tone of Yusuke, "Begin!"

'So that's him.……..' Hiei silently thought to himself, 'there was something familiar about him.…….. But what.……..?' Unknown to the fire demon, a figure across the field was watching him with an invisible smirk on his face.

'Yes.…….. I believe you have seen him before.……..' the figure mentally whispered, 'You're on the right track, Koorime, but there is still a long way to go.……..'

Back to the fight.

"This is no fun and no fair," Yih complained casually, the twisted smile never leaving his features, but his eyes told otherwise, there was something that Kuwabara couldn't quiet identify.……… Excitement? .…….. Anticipation?....…………….. Blood thirst? But his next comment snapped the redhead out of his thoughts. "Why do I always get the worst one? It's either the dumbest or the weakest.…….. But I guess it's just my luck, I finally fought my way to the final round of the second biggest martial arts tournament in the Maikai, and I got you.…….. You're both the dumbest and the weakest, what's up with that?" The demon sighed as he looked up again at the youth, anticipation back to his sapphire orbs, "Might as well make the best of it, ne? Since you are the only one around when I'm not in the best of moods, I guess I'll just have to punch you until my anger disappears. Poor, poor you.Tsk tsk tsk." He sighed again as the redhead nigen's hands clenched into fists and he shot the dirtiest glare that was usually preserved only for Hiei at the other youkai, forgetting all about him being "the man" and was not supposed to shout at his opponent and be "gentlemen-like," he shouted angrily and very VERY loudy.

"I am NOT stupid!!!"

A/N: I know that chapter was short, the truth is I split chapter 6 into two parts… I just thought it would be funny to see Kuwabara yell "I am not stupid!" at the end since I'm not much of a Kuwabara fan (sorry to all the Kuwabara fans!); my favorite characters are Hiei and Kurama! There IS a reason that they are the main characters in this fic, you know… Enough of my rambling, on to the next chapter (even though there is no next chapter right now…)!
