Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ Baku-Madoushi's Guard ( Chapter 33 )

Baku-Madoushi's Guard

"Welcome back everyone to the Finals of the Tsuyosa Tournament hosted by Baku-Madoushi!" Koto and Tamashi cried together.

Koto stepped forward, "Team Urameshi has won every battle so far including against the amazing Team Densetsuno!"

Tamashi joined her friend, "But now they will have to face two more opponents who are far more formidable! Can they do it? Who shall be victorious?"

Team Urameshi watched in disgust as the arena went wild. Then they noticed that a group of their friends stood there cheering for them. Hope filled them as they turned to face their opponent. Through the doors opposite of them came their opponent.

He stood with his head held high as he approached. His tan cargo pants and black midriff shirt waved slightly in the breeze along with his spiky yellow hair. His gold eyes narrowed dangerously as he smirked in amusement. Carefully he readjusted the blue headband on his forehead and the bandana around his neck. Then he reached into a pocket in his pants and retrieved a blue wrist band and placed it upon his right wrist. When he was done he met the team in the center of the ring and signalled for the judges to begin the battle.

"The first round of the finals will be Team Urameshi versus Hiroshi!" Koto cried.

"May the best win!" Tamashi followed. Then together that added, "Begin!"

Hiroshi brushed some hair out of his face as he smirked again, "So you are the ones who managed to defeat all of the teams huh? Well I must say I am impressed because we had some tougher teams this year than we had in the past. So I suppose we should begin? I mean let's face it, we don't want to keep the public waiting am I correct?"

Yusuke growled, "Yeah it would be a cryin' shame. Spirit Gun!"

Hiroshi laughed and dodged the blue light. As he was landing he did a graceful turn. Then he ran forward and crashed into Yusuke in a flash of light. Yusuke flew back before Kuwabara caught him. Gingerly he stood up and faced the lightning demon again.

Sasha then took her turn and brought her bow out. Drawing an arrow from the air she pulled back the string and fired. But Hiroshi had already moved away and appeared behind Sasha kicking her in the back. She stumbled, barely keeping herself from falling. She turned to face him but found that he was dealing with Kuwabara at that moment in time.

Hiroshi drew back and laughed, "Really is that the best you got? My grandmother could do better!"

Angry now, Team Urameshi looked at one another. Individual attacks would never work. Hiroshi could predict those too easily. Then Kurama came up with an idea. Quickly he summoned his rose whip and turned his back on Hiroshi to face Yusuke. Swiftly he swung his whip until Yusuke fired a Spirit Gun in order to stop him. He dodged the attack at the last moment allowing it to smash into an extremely confused Hiroshi.

Hiroshi rose quickly to his feet. That was not a move that he had expected. Kurama was not one to attack one of his own team mates. What was happening? Why had Kurama attacked Yusuke? Something didn't seem to add up here but Hiroshi could not figure out what it was.

Kurama smiled when he saw the results of his attack. The strategy had worked. Turning to glance at Sasha he found that she too had caught on to what he was doing. Hiding her bow she brought out her whip and began to attack Kurama. This time Kurama dodged again and Sasha's whip cracked against Hiroshi's skin.

Hiroshi became angry as he rose to his feet again. They had tricked him once again. That required them to be punished in his book. Gathering energy into his hand he turned to face them.

"Seven Seals of Death!" Seven different words for death appeared around his fist as he threw the punch. The seals flew out ready to strike their victims. With careful precision each member of Team Urameshi was sent flying. Slowly each of them stood.

Hiroshi stood there laughing he couldn't believe that they honestly thought they could defeat him. No could defeat him it was a proven fact. However their determination was admirable. Hiroshi put his hands on his hips and waited. He was curious to see what they were going to do.

Yusuke looked at his friends. They were all struggling to stay on their feet after that attack. Taking a deep breath he began to glow blue. Soon the light filtered out until it brushed against the skin of the others. They turned towards him to see what he was doing. Sasha was the first to realize and began to glow black and white.

One by one the others caught on and added their strength until there was a mix of colors in between them. Only Kurama had not joined but then he removed a seed from his hair and place it in the center. The seed absorbed the energy around it and began to sprout. Hiroshi watched in confusion as beautiful blossoms sprang forth with blood red filtering in the center of each bloom. It was a sight anyone would pay to see and one that Hiroshi was about to find was extremely dangerous as well.

The scent of the plant drew him forward against his will. He could not understand what was happening but soon Hiroshi was close enough to lay his hand upon the plant. As he did the white blossoms turned completely blood red and moved towards him. They stopped just before they touched his skin and lifeforce floated away from his body and into the plant. The last thing he would remember was the feeling of complete warmth throughout his body. Then he was gone as the plant finished with his lifeforce and swallowed him whole.

Team Urameshi watched in shock as they were announced the winner. Sasha quickly healed them when they heard a loud clapping behind them. There stood Baku-Madoushi with a smile upon her face.

"I must say Team Urameshi, that was an impressive show. However it is now time for you to face me and I can guarantee that I will be far more difficult to defeat," Baku-Madoushi whispered before she turned to the judges, "You two may leave now. There is no need for you. It will be quite obvious if Team Urameshi defeats me.

"Now to all of you in the arena this final battle shall be one that I hope you will not forget. Get ready everyone for this is going to be the greatest battle this island has ever seen!"
