Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ The Stolen Katana ( Chapter 10 )

The Stolen Katana

Naomi skipped off the ring to join her team mates for the next draw. She hoped that she could fight again but frowned when instead Dami was chosen. Dami opened her wings and flew to the center of the ring to meet Hiei there since he was the only one able to fight for Team Urameshi. From her hair to her clothes, she was gold with pale skin. She stood there just like a lady-in-waiting as she smiled at her opponent. She remembered Hiei, she remembered him well. Teasingly she stroked the katana at her side watching Hiei's reaction. Just as she expected, his eyes fell upon the sword. This was going to be a fun fight.

Hiei on the other hand glared at her as she stroked the sword. So she still had it after all of these years. She still had that sword that she'd stolen from him. Raising his eyes to meet hers he found that she was enjoying this. Unfortunately for her, he remembered all of her little tricks and none of them were going to work.

Koto glanced at each fighter as she raised her arm into the air, "Round four will be Hiei versus Dami! Ready? Fight!"

Dami instantly flew up into the air so she could hover far above the reach of the fire demon below. Once she was high enough, she began to brush her fingers through her hair as she waited for Hiei to attack her. Knowing him it would be an attack filled with flame and then she would win. Finally she saw that Hiei wasn't going to attack any time soon so she flew even higher before stopping and raising her arms towards the sky and then pointing them towards her opponent.

"Hell's Flame!" Fire rained down from the sky towards Hiei in a fury. She knew that the flames would have no effect on him but she was hoping to annoy him enough that he'd attack. Little did she realize that he was doing just that. His sword pierced through her left wing sending her straight down towards the ring with a colossal crash. Gingerly she rose to face him holding onto her injured wing.

"Yours destractions won't work this time Dami," Hiei smirked as he landed, "I remember every last one."

Dami frowned, "How is it you can still remember something like that? I stole your sword years ago!"

"Even if I told you your bird brain would never comprehend such details!"

Dami's eyes narrowed dangerously, "That's it! You are dead!"

Dami ran towards in Hiei's direction with her whip in her hand. She swung it with the skill of a master. But with each crack of the whip, Hiei vanished and appeared elsewhere. Shrieking like a hawk, she ran forward in rage.

Hiei drew his sword and sliced through the whip making it completely useless. Still moving forward, he also knocked away the katana at her waist and sliced through her other wing making one of her attacks completely useless. Once this task was done, he jumped back and sheathed his sword. Behind him, Kuwabara leaned against the wall watching the fight.

He's awoken when Koto had announced the next fight. He'd watched the entire fight between this bird demon and Hiei. It was rare for Hiei to literally play with his victims like a cat toying around with a mouse before it kills the mouse. And now he had the bird demon defenseless and flightless.

"So Dami, what will you do now? You can't fly into the air for your strongest attack and as long as I don't use fire attacks your other defenses and attacks are useless. You are also weaponless and bleeding badly. So do you feel humiliated like I was that day you stole my sword? Do you?" Hiei asked.

"I do not feel humiliated jaganshi! It was your own stupid fault that you lost that sword, not mine. So tell me jaganshi, if I really did this to you then why are you of all people sinking to my level for revenge?" Dami taunted.

Hiei smirked, "So now you ask for my version of revenge? Well if that is what you wish then draw up that sword over there."

Once she had the sword in her possession, he attacked swiftly. He sliced her only five times before jumping onto her back forcing her to her knees. She knelt there for a second before collapsing in her own blood. Even after Hiei was declared the winner she lay there not moving with only her eyes open.

"Why am I…why am I still alive?" she said with pain.

"Because my version of revenge is to let you live with the scars of your own life, the scars you will have that will mare the beauty you hold so precious to you," Hiei told her as he waited for her team mates to get her off the platform. When they were finished he waited for his next opponent.

"Team Urameshi and Team Kage are currently tied and Hiei is the only fighter able to move into the final round! Team Kage please choose your next fighter!"

The team quickly drew sticks and their final fighter came forward. Her dark hair flowed around her face in the breeze as her emerald eyes gazed shyly upon Hiei. Her silver wolf tail twitched making her torn jeans twitch to give a better view of her knee high boots. She wore a black and white shirt over a fishnet shirt which she began to adjust nervously. Scattered everywhere was various Gothic jewelry. She smelled the air around her before glancing at Hiei once more.

"The final round shall be Tobaya versus Hiei!"

Next Time:

It's Hiei and I am currently fighting Tobaya of Team Kage. She is a skilled fighter for the shadows but she keeps making serious errors. When I finally enter into her mind to find out why I am shocked at what I find. What is this secret that she doesn't want me to know about? Find out on Tobaya's Secret.
