Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ Demon Versus Demon Slayer ( Chapter 31 )

Demon Versus Demon Slayer

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!"

Crazy Eights glared at Tamashi, "My name is not Crazy Eights. My name is Chan Te."

"Whatever! You may as well fight and leave me alone," Tamashi huffed.

Sasha glared at Chan Te. She knew that smell all too well. Chan Te was a Demon Slayer, a powerful one at that. Sasha raised her claws up threateningly as she watched him carefully. He just stood there and looked at her with disgust. Then he raised his hands up before him and began to glow white.

"Dragon's Speed! Steel Skin! Tiger's Strength!" Chan Te began to run and as he did he hit Sasha with his newly acquired power. Soon she flew onto her back. Quickly she regained her feet and released the whip that was attached to her hip. Swinging it with skill she waited until she felt it just barely touch something before she allowed it to fly with a loud crack.

Chan Te stumbled as the whip hit the back of his neck. He regained his balance as he turned on her again. Silently he muttered, "Barrier of Pain" before he raised his hands out in front of himself again.

Small pieces of paper appeared as he cried, "Heavenly Flames!"

The papers burst into flame as they each became a separate burning pillar. Quickly they rushed forward and smashed into Sasha pushing her back. All over her skin was burned in places as she raised her hands into the air.

"Angel's Mercy!" A beautiful white light floated down towards her and enveloped her body. When it melted away she was fully healed and ready for more. Then she swung her whip behind her, "Devil's Judgement!"

Sasha smashed her whip against the ground which caused a huge crack to appear. From within it's depths appeared the shadow of a handsome man with long hair and blood red eyes. The man swiftly flew towards Chan Te and began to obsorb his spirit energy. Chan Te struggled to break free but found that he was basically helpless. Eventually the man vanished and Chan Te saw that Sasha now stood before him with her bow pointed directly at him. With direct precision she pulled back the string and fired.

The elemental arrow hit the Demon Slayer hard. He did his best to defend himself but found that he had little strength left. The arrow vanished the second it pierced him leaving him lying there upon the ground. He struggled to rise but found that everytime he regained his feet he just fell back to the ground.

Sasha watched as the human struggled to rise again. That was one thing she'd always admired about these slayers. They never gave up. It was a trait that she admired greatly. Smiling she moved forward just as Chan Te collapsed to the ground once again. When he saw her before him he sighed. He was weak at the moment which ment that she could easily kill him now. However she just stood there as Tamashi started the countdown.

"1…2…3…4…5! And the final round is over! Sasha is the winner!"

Sasha knelt down next to Chan Te and helped him to his feet. He looked at her with surprise as he led him back over to his remaining two team mates. Demons weren't supposed to be like this. Demons weren't supposed to show kindness. That was a human trait. Could it be that maybe not all demons were such monsters?

Tamashi moved to the center of the ring, "The Semi-Finals are now over!"

Yusuke turned away from his friends to face the judge. She was standing up there fixing her hair as if she didn't have a care in the world. That last fight couldn't have been a part of the Semi-Finals. That just couldn't be possible. So in anger he marched straight over to her.

"What do mean Semi-Finals? If that was just the Semi-Finals then when do the Finals take place?" he demanded.

Tamashi frowned, "First of all keep your pants on cause it isn't my problem that you don't know how this tournament works. After the Semi-Finals there is short break until the moon rises tomorrow. Then the Finals will begin.

"At that time you will fight Baku-Madoushi's guard Hiroshi first. If you manage to defeat him then you will face Baku-Madoushi herself. If you manage to beat her then you win the tournament. However no one has ever defeated her before and those who have tried are all dead now. So get out of my face and don't yell at me! I only work here!" Tamashi screamed as she stormed out of the arena.

Yusuke turned to his friends. In a way he was glad that they had a break since all of his team mates were about ready to collapse. In another way, he was angry. They had come here to win this tournament in order to save their loved ones but everytime they got close new twists were thrown at them. Would this nightmare ever end? His mind turned to Keiko. Were they too late to save their loved ones?
