The Team Leaders

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!" Koto cried with excitement, "Begin!"

Shuichii glared at Kuwabara furiously. Reim was his partner and this blundering olf had hurt her badly. Revenge against this idiot would be sweet upon his lips, there was no doubt about that. Slowly he grabbed a deck of cards from inside his shirt and drew five. Still taking his time, he put the five cards in one of his hands and spread them to reveal that they were blank on both sides. Finally he threw all five towards Kuwabara as he called out, "Exploding Ace!"

Kuwabara watched the five cards fly towards him as he called upon his sword. This would be an easy fight, he thought as he sliced all five cards. Grinning he turned to Shuichii to find five more cards flying at him. One by one they sliced his skin, exploding as they came in contact with his body. Screaming in pain, Kuwabara stumbled losing his sword.

Shuichii smirked in triumph calling upon tiny bombs that eventually filled his hand. Quickly he threw the handful of bombs at the weak human before him causing more screams. Shuichii now smiled as his called upon one more attack. His revenge was complete.

"Grenades." All over the ring bombs appeared, avoiding Koto and Shuichii. One by one they began to shake until suddenly all of them exploded as one leaving Kuwabara lying upon his face bleeding.

Koto stood in horror as she brought the mike to her lips, "1…2…3…4…5! And Shuichii is the winner since his opponent failed to rise to his feet in time."

Yusuke quickly made the draw with Hiei and found that he got the short stick. Furiously he dragged his friend off the platform before returning to find the bubbly leader there. She giggled as she did a turn on her feet dancing as she waited making her baggy black pants fly around.

When she finally stood in one place, she adjusted her fish net top so that it fit more comfortably over the pink bikini top underneath. Finishing she removed her backpack from her shoulder and bowed before Yusuke giving him a better look at the tatoo of a shooting star in the center of her forehead. After what seemed like hours, Koto finally announced the fight.

"Round three will be Yusuke, the leader of Team Urameshi, versus Naomi, the leader of Team Kage! Begin!"

Yusuke was too angry to wait and to he attacked with a fury of punches. After realizing that none of his hits were landing, Yusuke ran at Naomi focusing his energy into his fist.

"Shotgun!"

Naomi laughed at the bullets that flew towards her. Just before they smashed into her body, she jumped high into the air flipping right over them and Yusuke. When she landed she turned quickly and kicked him in the center of his back sending him flying forward. Catching himself, he turned to face her. Racing at her faster then he'd ever moved before, he brought back his fist only to stop as he found himself blinded in a snow storm. Blinking, he tried to find out where she had gone.

Feeling a tap on his shoulder, he threw a punch towards the finger finding nothing. Yusuke looked about him confused as he thought of Keiko. He felt another tap and threw another punch.

`Keiko,' another punch, `what's so great about me? How could you possibly love someone like me?'

Another tap, another useless punch, `I'm such a horrible guy. I'm a bully, a tough-guy. So why me? Please tell me Keiko because I know that I don't deserve you. What is it about me that you love?'

Somewhere in the wind Yusuke heard the distant cry of, "Night Ally!"

Stopping his attacks on the taps on his shoulders he turned to face the new onslaught and discovered he still could see nothing. Before he realized what was happening a shadow flew in his face throwing him about. Bringing his foot out, Yusuke watched as his foot meerly flew through the body of his opponent causing no damage to it. Growling Yusuke got up.
