Why Do You Defend Her?

Hiei left the ring and was replaced by Kurama who was met by Betty-Go-Boom. Betty-Go-Boom snorted, "Well so much for him. Although I must say I don't pity him. I mean let's face it, he'll never get skin cancer."

Kurama glared at him. How could someone just insult the dead like that? And why did Betty-Go-Boom want to fight him so badly?

"Round three, Betty-Go-Boom versus Kurama! Begin!"

Betty-Go-Boom sighed, "Okay first of all let me clear up one thing. I go by Mar-lo not Betty-Go-Boom. Second I have a question for you Kurama."

"What?"

"That Botan girl, do you love her or something? Because let's face it you were defending her while she was worrying over your safety during the fight where you fought Karasu. So do you?"

Kurama sighed, "I protect the defenseless and those I care about. Botan is a friend of mine and she was in danger. She worried over me then because she had just lost Genkai to Tuguro. She was afraid that she would lose me as well. I only love her as a friend because I already love two women with all of my heart. My mother, Shiori, and Sasha."

Mar-lo frowned, "Well la-do-da! That story is so old that people have made fairy tales out of it. Sheesh! Oh well back to what we're here for."

Kurama heard an explosion just as pain filled his body. Looking down he found that both of his legs her bleeding. His eyes went wide as he remembered this attack. Karasu had been the one who had used this attack on him. Facing Mar-lo he snarled. This time he would not be defeated by these explosions. Behind him he heard Sasha call out to ask if he was alright.

Mar-lo glared at her before causing another bomb to go off right in front of her face, "Stay out of this! This has nothing to do with you you stinking cat!"

Kurama began to growl as he felt Youko fighting to break free. Without reluctance he allowed the tranformation which took up only a few seconds. Youko now stood there growling at the quest class demon. His eyes glowed red as his hand reached into his hair and pulled out several seeds.

Mar-lo watched without interest. He knew that he had gotten the fox mad but frankly he didn't care. It would just make his fight more challenging which was what he wished for. Mar-lo began to look at his nails like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Ya know that whole glowing red eyes thing is so old. Really you should consider getting some new tricks. After all I've seen all the ones that you've done before. So really that whole "sly fox" disguise won't do you any good."

Mar-lo was going to far. Youko watched him carefully as he noticed that Mar-lo was moving his lips. Quickly he focused in on this and watched. "MAD bomb," they said and so Youko covered himself in vines as he felt the bombs go off against his armor. Outside his defending vines he heard Mar-lo growl in frustration.

"Bring the BOOM!" he screamed as his hair turned into an eletrical blue color. Slowly he walked towards his intended victim until he was almost touching before he smiled and exploded. Dust filled the arena along with the smell of blood.

When the dust settled, Youko was nowhere to be found. Mar-lo stood clutching his stomach as blood dripped from it. Youko had managed to stab him with one of his vines before his death. He was persistent, stupid but persistent. Mar-lo turned towards Tamashi.

"Well what are you waiting for? Begin the countdown!"

"That would not be wise Tamashi," a voice said above them. Both glanced upwards to find that Youko had a butterfly looking plant attached to his back, "It would be a pity to claim me to be dead when I am not."

Mar-lo screamed, "What kind of a stubborn idiot are you? I've never seen anyone with a death wish as large as yours."

Youko smirked, "Well then you obviously have not gotten to know Yusuke. His is far larger than mine."

"I don't care if some stupid Spirit Detective of the Oh So Great Baby Brat Koenma has a higher death wish than you! You are going to die whether you like it or not!"

"Of course I will die one day. I am inside a human body," Youko said, "but there is one problem with your statement. I am a fox therefore I will only die when I choose to die. And now I would like you to meet a very special friend of mine Mar-lo. It's name is Maojigisou. However I would not recommend shaking hands with it. I would hate for you to hurt my poor friend."

Mar-lo froze. He couldn't attack that plant because it was behind him. Plus it would sense his body heat soon and finish him off. His eyes narrowed as they stared at Youko since he could not move his head. Mar-lo watched in frustration as Youko easily lowered himself to the ground and walked straight over to him. Once the fox had finished his approach he revealed the already blood stained vines.

"By the way, I'm a theif and so I am just terrible at telling the truth," Youko smirked as he drew back his arm. Quickly he drove the vines into Mar-lo's body and pulled back as the demon fell to the ground unconsious.

Tamashi shakily raised the microphone to her lips, "1…2…3…4…5! Kurama is the winner of round three! Will the final fighters please step forward!"

Youko transformed back into Kurama as he walked off the platform. When Kurama reached his friends he collapsed into darkness from the blood lose. They all gathered around him as Sasha stepped forward. To meet the final fighter of Team Densetsuno. To make it fair Tamashi announced that whoever won this fight would win the equivalent of four fights.

The final two members stared at each other as Tamashi cried out, "Round four, Crazy Eight versus Sasha! Begin!"
