Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Tournament ❯ The Sorceress Baku-Madoushi ( Chapter 34 )

The Sorceress Baku-Madoushi

"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!"

The arena cheered in response until she raised her hand into the air to quiet them. When they at last settled down she moved forward and did a mock bow towards her opponents, "So Team Urameshi, shall we begin?"

"Yeah, let's begin," Yusuke hissed.

Baku-Madoushi smiled as she summoned a long staff made of ice from nowhere. With the staff she caused the air to become colder and colder till there were icicles everywhere. The ground shimmered slightly as small patches of ice appeared. Retilian demons everywhere dropped to the ground dead. Other demons meerly hudled next to each other for warmth.

Baku-Madoushi studied her handiwork before turning her eyes to her opponents, "There that is much better, is it not? Nice and cold just the way I like it. Now where was I, ah, yes I remember now."

She turned her staff on Hiei and Kuwabara crying, "Akumu Tsubasa!"

Columns of darkness caused her victims to disappear from sight. She laughed and turned to Yusuke, "Kori Kakera!"

Huge shards of ice flew around Yusuke continuing to come after him nonstop. Everytime he destroyed one five more took its place. There was no end to this attack. Through the ice he watched as Baku-Madoushi turned on Kurama and Sasha.

"Body Freeze!" Her final two victims turned into ice sculptures with a pulsating red where their hearts were. With all of Team Urameshi trapped she began to dance in the cold air as the arena cheered her on.

"Oh this is not good!" Koenma moaned, "I was afraid of this."

Botan turned to face him, "What do you mean?"

"Baku-Madoushi seems to know just the right attack to use on everyone. At this rate they are never going to win. They're as good as dead already."

Tony turned to face him, "I refuse to believe that. Yusuke and his friends would never give up like that."

Koenma sighed, "If that's the case then how are they going to get out of their traps."

This time it was Kathjina who spoke, "Jus' wait. They will get free if it's the las' thing they do."

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

Hiei watched as an image of Yukina appeared before his eyes. There she was being hurt by strange men and yet he could not move to stop the torture. Crying out to the men he tried to stop them to no avail. It was like they couldn't hear him. It was almost as if they were ignoring him on purpose. But then Yukina looked straight at him.

She gazed upon him with those painfilled eyes so similar to his own. Yukina wasn't blaming him for what was happening here which caused him to become even more upset. Struggling against whatever bonds were holding him he cried out to her. Yukina needed him.

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

Kuwabara fell to his knees as the image appeared. Everyone he held dear to him was dead. They all lay upon the floor in their own blood with fear in their eyes. Each had been brutally slaughtered. Yusuke, Kurama, Yukina, Shizuru, Koenma, Botan, Sasha, even Hiei were gone. He couldn't save them

Tears filled his eyes as he screamed aloud. This couldn't be happening. How could they all be dead? They couldn't be dead. It was a lie, a huge lie that didn't have a drop of truth. And yet the horrible facts were right in front of him. Everyone was dead and it was because he hadn't gotten there in time.

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

Yusuke defended himself the best he could against the oncoming ice. He had cuts all over his body that bled freely now. Yusuke sighed as another cut him. This was a hopeless cause. There was no way that he could defeat Baku-Madoushi on his own even if he did break free. She had won and she knew it. Baku-Madoushi was well aware of the fact that she had won.

There she was practically dancing on their graves as they fought to stay alive. Her prisoners were next Yusuke was sure of that fact. They suffer just as Team Urameshi was now. Baku-Madoushi meant for each and every one of them to die like this. She held no mercy at all. None.

He knees were shaking now as he tried to remain standing. He had to be strong because his team needed him. He had to be strong because Keiko still needed him.
