Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ The Child Reim ( Chapter 7 )

The Child Reim

Koto stood in the center of the platform, "Welcome to the next round of the Tsuyosa Tournament! In this round it will me Team Urameshi versus Team Kage!"

The crowd went wild once Team Kage was announced. It was clear who was the favored team two of the fighters took steep bowes and basked in the light of the audience. When Koto called up the team leaders, one of the two wild fighters stepped forward. She gave a deep bow to Yusuke before looking towards Koto.

"Leaders decide the terms of the fights."

Yusuke looked at the strange girl before him, "Umm your choice."

"Okay that sounds like fun!" she giggled, "Alright let's see here, ummm, oh I've got it!"

"Well?" Yusuke asked.

"Random draw! You know the one with the short stick has to fight! Like it?" she laughed.

Yusuke just stared at her, "Uhh sounds good to me."

"Great! Here are your sticks! Now let's have some fun!" she cried as she ran to her team mates.

Yusuke walked to Kuwabara and Hiei. From the sticks in his hand he drew a long stick. Next Hiei drew and also received a long stick. Finally Kuwabara came up and pulled the short stick. Frowning he lept onto the platform and waited. Finally one of the fighters came forward skipping and Kuwabara watched in shock. His opponent was a girl!

"Wait Urameshi! You fight her! I can't fight a girl, it goes against my code!"

Yusuke smirked, "And who's problem would that be? You are going to fight."

"But-," Kuwabara stuttered.

"So the baka is scared to fight a girl?" Hiei asked with amusement.

Yusuke grinned, "Yeah something about a stupid code."

"I'm not scared!"

"Then fight!"

"Fine I will!" And Kuwabara turned to face his opponent. She just kept smiling, her red eyes twinkling. Her dark brown ponytail fell to her mid-back and every so often her red bangs would fall in front of her eyes. Her shirt was blood red with one long sleeve and one short to go with her black jeans that supported a few chains. Black high tops covered her feet and she wore fingerless gloves that extended to her elbows. Finally across her back was a large glaive. In Kuwabara's mind, she hand to have powers over fire.

"The first fight will be Reim versus Kuwabara. Ready? Fight!"

"Yay!" Reim squeeled as she drew her sword. Swiftly she attacked Kuwabara.

"Spirit Sword!" Kuwabara cried as he matched her sword skill blow for blow. Eventually Reim grew tired of this and sheathed her sword pouting.

"You're not trying!" she whimpered, "It's no fun if you don't try!"

"But you're a girl!"

"And you're a guy, what's your point?" she asked confused, wrinkling her nose.

Kuwabara blinked. He'd never thought of it that way before. Maybe it would be more interesting if he tried while fighting a girl. Smiling, he brought out another sword to match his other one. Now the fight could actually begin.

"See? Isn't that better?" Reim giggled.

Kuwabara smirked, "You're going to regret telling me that."

"Oh well that will be my problem. Now let's fight. Ice Blades!"

Kuwabara watched as spinning disks of ice appeared around him. So her power wasn't over fire, in fact it was the opposite, it was ice. Kuwabara narrowed his eyes as the disks flew back a little before rushing towards him. Quickly he used his swords to defend himself from the onslaught and then turned to face his opponent. She stood there with a frown on her face as she summoned ice from the ground to come and run him through, he defended against that attack too.

Reim pouted, "That's not fair! You can't do that! Free-." She was cut off suddenly by a spirit sword through her stomach. Glancing down, her eyes were full of disbelief. She raised her head to look at him as she fell to her knees and titled backwards off the platform.

"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8̷ 0;9…10! And Kuwabara's the winner of this fight!"

Off the platform Reim looked up at Kuwabara with a large smile, "Thanks. I always wanted to be defeated like that. To bad it won't happen again." And Reim closed her eyes and died with a smile upon her face.

Kuwabara smiled as he realized that maybe fighting girls wasn't so bad. Returning to his team he drew the short stick again and returned to the platform to face his new opponent.

His opponent had a long maroon ponytail and hazel eyes. He wore a black shirt with flames and black jeans supporting a dragon on one leg. He wore a gold ear suff and earring with a chain connecting them. His eyes were full of saddness.

"The next fight will be Shuichii versus Kuwabara!"

Next Time:

Yusuke here and the idiot is up to fight once more. This time however he is up against Reim's partner. Now it's not like this guy is holding a grudge but he's just much stronger than Kuwabara. So that leads to me fighting the overly happy leader of Team Kage, Naomi. Will my sanity survive? Find out on The Team Leaders.
