Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ Fire and Water ( Chapter 26 )

Fire and Water

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.

His opponent was a water demon. With her blue skin, hair, and eyes to prove that fact. Her ears were like a dragon's, wispy yet elegant. She was dressed entirely in black with silver trim. Upon her face was a scar streching from her left eye to the base of her neck. She was beautiful and deadly, a fact that any fire demon was well aware of.

Water would slow down his movements along with stopping his fire attacks. In this fight she would have the advantage. The only way to defeat such a creature was to catch her off guard, somehow.

"Round three is Atrin Nightmoon versus Hiei! Begin!" Tamashi cried as she adjusted her makeup once more with a look of boredom upon her face.

Hiei drew his sword as he waited for her first attack. Atrin simply stood there studying him for a few seconds before she created to swords made of water. Together they glowed as she threw slash after slash of knife-like water at him.

He easily dodged the attack ready for anything she might throw his way. Atrin noticed this and decided to test something. She stepped forward and as she did he stepped back. He was nervous, she could feel it now. He was nervous about her powers. Smiling she remembered that there was only one type of demon that was nervous around water demons. Seeing her advantage, she streched her arms out wide.

"Waterly Cover." The entire area was filled with forty feet of water. Only the members of the teams were left untouched by the water.

Hiei floated helplessly. She had discovered his weakness and now there wasn't anything he could do with his attacks. Unless he figured out a way to stop her without attacking, then this fight would be over sooner than expected.

Atrin smirked as she easily floated in the water. Her victim struggled to stay above the surface while she sat there watching. Perhaps he needed a little aid, she thought. With another smile she whispered "Depths of the Ocean" which caused several whirlpools to appear.

Now Hiei was struggling to not only remain above the surface but to also avoid the whirlpools that threatened to drag him down. He glanced over at Atrin briefly and growled in frustration as she watched him fight to remain where he was. She was enjoying this a little too much for his tastes. Atrin was asking, no begging, for a cremation.

Eventually Atrin got bored and whispered, "Wraith of the Ocean."

Hiei flatered when he felt something brush against his leg. There was something alive under the water. Hiei cursed aloud. This was the very last thing he needed right now. Having no choice, he dove below the surface.

He'd already tried drying up the water twice now. There was no end to his aquatic prison so he decided to try a different approach. At the bottom of the water he began to raise his body temperature. Soon this caused him to glow a deep red which spread throughout the liquid around him. The creatures surrounding him swam away to escape the heat that they were not used to. Seeing this he continued.

Above the surface Atrin watched as her sea creatures lept out of the surface trying to escape something. Confused she watched them until she felt something strange. Slowly the feeling grew until she realized what was happening. Somehow the little demon had managed to heat up the water. Knowing her creatures could not survive this, Atrin made them and the water vanish to reveal a drenched Hiei standing before her.

Her eyes glowed with fury until she saw something unexpected. Hiei's forehead was glowing through the bandanna. Atrin's eyes began to widen as Hiei removed the cloth to reveal his jagan eye. Now terrified she backed away. But Hiei had no intention of letting her go that easily.

"Don't even think about it water demon," he growled, "You had your fun now it's my turn. Jao Ensatsu Kokuryuha!"

A black dragon unraveled itself from Hiei's arm and soared towards Atrin. She never even had a chance to scream before her body dissolved. The only thing left behind was the shadow, on the wall behind her team mates, of her body. Once this task was done, Hiei's eye stopped glowing.

Tamashi stared at the ash in surprise, "Well by automatic default, Hiei is the winner of round three. Next fighters please step forward!"

From Team Akumu came a wolf demon with long raven hair. His purple eyes glowed with anticipation. Once he reached the center he waited. He snorted in disgust when it was Kurama who joined him in the center instead of Sasha but complied to fight him all the same.

"Round four is Bakuria Yumi versus Kurama! Begin!"
