The Makai Assassin

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!"

Arashi stood and waited for Yusuke to attack. Seeing the opportunity, Yusuke ran forward and threw several punches and kicks at Arashi, all of which she blocked with one hand. Jumping back he found that he hadn't even moved her from where she stood. Growling he formed his hand into a gun.

"Spirit Gun!" he screamed as the blue energy flew towards his opponent.

"Hey Urameshi! Don't hurt her! She's a girl!" Kuwabara cried as Arashi dodged the attack and looked at him. Then she smiled.

"Yusuke your friend is pathetic," she said.

Yusuke glared at her, "I know."

"Now shall we continue with our fight?" she asked.

"By all means."

She smiled shyly, "Glad to hear it. Now I think I've stalled long enough, let's get started."

Faster than Yusuke could follow, she ran towards him crackling with energy. She threw punch after punch at him and he soon found that he could only defend himself. Eventually she backed off and jumped back grabbing her chain sickle. Swiftly she threw it out and grabbed his neck with the chain.

"I must say you are skilled Yusuke," Arashi stated, "But when you're frustrated you loose all concentration which in turn slows you down to your minimum. You have to clear your mind before you begin a fight."

Yusuke dragged enough air to choke out, "Yeah? Who told ya that one?"

"I learned it myself when I became an assassin."

"A…what?"

"I am the best assassin in all of Makai. I hate to brag but I am so good that it is a privledge for you to see me and still be alive."

Yusuke snorted, "Death threats don't …scare me. I've already died twice…it really …isn't all that …bad."

"Twice?"

"Yeah twice," Yusuke gasped, "Ya know…I'm getting really sick of this thing. Wanna take it off me?"

Arashi rolled her eyes, "No not really because that would leave you free to attack."

"Why are you worried? I thought…I wasn't good…enough."

"You can never be too careful."

"Okay glad to hear it. Now…if you don't…mind, I'm going…to get this off…my neck. Spirit Gun!" he managed as he pointed his finger at the chain snapping it in two. When he was freed he swallowed as much air as he could in one breath before looking at Arashi who was inspecting her broken weapon.

She glanced up, "You know that wasn't very nice."

"Oh bite me! Shot Gun!"

"Chaos of Lightning!" she cried as a shield of lightning fell in front of her. All of the reiki bullets flew back at Yusuke forcing him to dodge his own attack.

"Water Dragon!" A huge dragon appeared around her consisting of water and lightning. Quickly it moved towards Yusuke as he moved out of it's way. "It's no use. You can't dodge it forever. It will continue to follow you until it catches you."

"Well then I guess I'll have to try and get a few punches in while I'm still alive," Yusuke yelled as he suddenly moved faster than he had before. Quickly he landed a few punches on her before jumping high into the air revealing the dragon before her. She screamed as she raised her arms in a vain attempt to save herself before the dragon plowed into her sending her flying off the platform and into the stands. She struggled to rise but found that no matter how hard she tried, nothing would co-operate.

Koto stood from where she'd fallen in order to get out of the dragon's way just as Yusuke landed in the center of the platform, "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10 ! Looks like Yusuke Urameshi wins this round leaving the teams tied one to one! Fighters please send up your next opponent!"

The leader of Team Oni-Mahou came forward, "Koto I'll go next."

"Not a problem."

"Oh and I'm bored so I'd like to issue a challenge."

Koto blinked in confusion, "A challenge?"

"Yes, I challenge Kurama to a fight. Not because of a grudge or anything like that I just think he's a pretty boy and so I'd like to see if he's up to the challenge."

"Very well, Kurama of Team Urameshi, do you except her challenge?"

Next Time:

Hey it's Yusuke and Mitchel, the leader of Team Oni-Mahou, has issued a challenge to Kurama to relieve her boredom. What is this strange girl up to? Find out on Kurama's Decision.
