Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ The Water's Shadow ( Chapter 25 )

The Water's Shadow

When he reached the center of the ring he found a girl with blue hair pulled into a braid, pale grey skin, and blue eyes. Her black ninja robes hung on her loosely as she watched him come forward. She too had shadow demon blood inside her but along with this flowed the blood of a water demon. Unlike her team mate, she was not physically weak.

"Round two: Rinene Yukico versus Yusuke Urameshi! Begin!"

"Shadow Traitor." Yusuke watched as his shadow suddenly took on a life of its own. Relentlessly it attacked him showing him no mercy. He could only defend himself against the one thing that knew every move he made.

As Yusuke fought his shadow, Rinene prepared herself for her next attack. When she was ready she gathered Yusuke's shadow into her body. Power filled her and she called upon a ice and shadow. The blast the resulted was unimaginable.

Yusuke could feel poison course through his system as the ice sliced across his skin. His energy drained as he tried to avoid the cold water. When at last the ice stopped flying he could barely feel his body. Quickly he gathered his reiki into his fist and fired. It was simply an action to bind time until he could gather some of his strength. So it was of no surprise to him when Rinene dodged the Shotgun.

"Ice Blades," Rinene whispered as she fired long blades of ice at Yusuke. He barely escaped the attack upon him as she gathered her power once more. For this attack she would have to use nearly all of her power but it was worth it in the end.

"Shadow Sheild." A huge column of darkness surrounded Rinene. For a long time she vanished into the shadow.

Hiei smirked. This girl was just like him. She was niether a shadow demon nor an ice demon. She was a forbidden child that should have never been conceived. She was a piece of trash in the demon world.

Sasha glanced at Hiei in wonderment. He was the only one here who could even hope to understand what was happening in her head. She herself possessed some empathic abilities but not when it came to this.

Koenma cried out in frustration, "I can't believe this! There has to be something in the records that say something about Baku-Madoushi! Why isn't there anything here? Ogre, is there anything we haven't looked under?"

George glanced up, "No sir. We've looked all through your library. If there was anything here we would have found it by now."

"This is just great! We have to find something!" Koenma screamed, "Ogre you stay here. I'm going to look in our records for information."

"Yes sir."

Koenma walked through the halls of the palace until he reached a portion of the wall that was a slightly different color. Pressing his hand against a panel he felt the locks underneath give way. Once the door was open, he walked inside.

Along every wall were shelves lined with hundreds of papers and books. Every known demon was recorded here whether they were dead or alive. The only problem would be finding the information on Baku-Madoushi.

*******************

When the column of darkness disappeared a beautiful shadow demon was revealed. She was now entirely black with blood red eyes. She smiled revealing extremely white teeth. All around her was a dark aura that just radiated from her very presence.

Rinene gathered power into her fists before throwing them into the air. The clouds thickened as lightning appeared all around them. Rinene knew deep within her mind that this human could never survive an attack so verocious like this. Dragons reared their ugly heads and rain poured.

Yusuke could once again feel energy draining from him. There was nothing he could do stop it as the rain beat against his skin. It was then that he felt another power fill him. It was one he had not called upon in quite awhile but one that he desparately needed now. The power filled him and changed his, banishing the storm from him. His hair grew along with his muscles and he gained claws and strange markings upon his body.

When the storm was gone completely, Yusuke was revealed to the crowds in his demonic body. There was a hush throughout the arena as they stared at him in shock. He radiated power and even Rinene backed away in fear. Never in her life had she felt such fear.

Yusuke grinned as he gathered his power into both his fists. He threw them forward suddenly sending his poor opponent into the stands. She struggled to rise but found that all of her strength was gone and she could no longer move.

"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8̷ 0;9…10! Yusuke Urameshi is declared the winner of round two! Will the next fighters please step into the ring?" Tamashi announced.

Hiei followed the order and appeared in the center of the ring. There he waited patiently for his opponent. However he growled in frustration when he discovered who he was fighting. He hated fighting this type of demon.

Next Time:

It is the great Kazuma Kuwabara here and Hiei is fighting a water demon by the name of Atrin Nightmoon. She has a deep hatred for fire demons and desires to make sure that Hiei is defeated. So who has the better advantage, the demon with the Jagan or the demon with the water? Find out on Fire and Water.
