Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ The First Round ( Chapter 2 )

The First Round: Team Oni-Mahou

"Hey Urameshi! Get up the fight starts is half an hour and we still have to get over to the arena."

"I'm behind you Kuwabara," Yusuke smirked.

Kuwabara turned to face his friend with a look of surprise on his face, "How did you get over there? I thought you'd be in your room."

"Well I decided to have something to eat and then train before we went to fight. So what are you waiting for? We only have a half an hour before the fight," and with that said Yusuke walked down the stairs to join the others.

When they arrived at the arena, they were led to a door where they would enter. Once their team was announced the doors opened revealing the arena filled with blood-thirsty demons. Standing on the platform was none other than the kitsune, Koto. Once the Urameshi Team was on their side of the platform Koto raised her arm and pointed to the other door.

"And now their opponents, Team Oni-Mahou!"

The doors opened to reveal three women and two men. The two men suddenly stopped in their tracks before running up to one of the women and whispering something in her ear. She nodded and continued walking. When they were on their respective side Koto raised her microphone to her lips once more.

"Will the team leaders please step into the ring to discuss the terms of this fight!"

Yusuke quickly was up on the platform followed closely by one of the three women. She had shoulder length black hair with blue and green highlights and grey eyes. Her entire outfit was black finished by a black trench coat and venomous red goggles upon her forehead. When the two of the met in the center she began before Yusuke could even open his mouth.

"Alright listen first of all Tsuki and Hi are going to fight your little cat demon over there. Other than that I don't really care who fights who. Is that alright with you?"

"That's fine by me."

"Well that's settled. Koto, Kagomura is going to be the first to fight," she then turned and walked away allowing the wolf demon to come forward. She appeared to be expecting something to come and kill her at any second. Her long blue hair quivered making her black highlights flow like waves. She stood there and waited for her opponent.

Yusuke walked over to his team. Looking at all of them he couldn't decide who should go first. Gazing at them one by one he turned to Hiei and found that he wasn't there. Searching for him he found that Hiei was up on the platform walking towards the nervous demon. Hiei finished his approach with his hands still in his pockets and waited.

"Okay the first match will be Kagomura versus Hiei. Fight!"

Kagomura watched the fire demon before her cautiously with her blue and green eyes. She quickly adjusted her black fighter's robes to see if all of her blades were still in place before attacking.

"Bubble Blast!" All around her body appeared harmless bubbles that Hiei looked at with amusement. He smirked as the bubbles quickly floated towards him. If this was the best that this demon could do then it would be an easy win. He stood and waited for the bubbles. Once they were close enough, he brought out his sword and sliced through the bubbles flying at his face. However his smirk vanished quickly as he covered his mouth and fell to his knee coughing.

While Hiei was down from the poison, Kagomura cried out another attack, "Water Wolf's Circle!" Around twenty water wolves appeared and race towards Hiei. With a speed that no one could follow, the wolves surrouned him and crashed in a huge wave. When the water cleared, Hiei was nowhere to be found.

"Uhh I guess since opponent died, Kagomura is declared by default the-," Koto began.

"I'm not dead yet."

Koto turned and found Hiei standing right behind her. Quickly she corrected herself as Hiei slowly walked over to Kagomura. He was annoyed that she had almost hit him with that water and now she was going to pay. When he was just in front her her drew his sword and sliced only to find that his blade had been stopped by a Dryad's staff. Growling in frustration he withdrew still holding his sword in front of him. Faster than anyone had ever seen him move, Hiei ran towards her and sliced her twice. Then he stood back and waited.

Kagomura managed to stay standing. Her nervousness ended as her eyes filled with anger. "Watery Sleep!" she hissed.

A huge blast of water smashed into Hiei. When it subsided he lay in a coffin of water trying to get out. Slowly his eyes began to droop and he faded into sleep. Once he was asleep the coffin hardened leaving him lying upon the ground.

Koto stood in silence before beginning her countdown, "1…2…3…4…5! Kagomura is the winner of this round since her opponent failed to rise in time!"

The crowd went wild as Kagomura stumbled off the platform and collasped once she reached the wall. Her team mates meerly watched as Kuwabara came and dragged the coffin away. When he was off the platform the final woman moved up to fight. Her crimson eyes glowed with anticipation as she brushed her midnight blue hair out of her face. She wore black pants with a sliver stripe down one side, a black band upon her wrist, and a dark blue tank top. Finally she carried a chain sickle on one hip. When she reached the middle she stood with her arms behind her back and her head down.

"Team Urameshi will you please choose your fighter," Koto cried.

Yusuke glanced down at Hiei then at Kurama, "Get him loose. This fight is mine. I've got some pent up energy I need to get out of my system."

Yusuke lept onto the platform and glared at Koto. He hated these fights. His friends always got hurt while there was nothing he could do. He waited until Koto called out the fight and then moved into a fighting stance.

"Arashi versus Yusuke Urameshi! Fight!"
