[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Mitsukai no Awai: Just so that everyone knows, I'm only writing according to the show until the end of the Dark Tournament. That's basically what I watched up to in the series. And sorry if I forget anything, it's been a while since I watched some of these episodes.
Mitsukai looks all around her room.
Mitsukai: Where's...sugar...?...EEEEEEE!
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama cover their ears. They went over to her, but tripped over Kuwabara who was still unconscious.
CRASH!
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama: @_@
They snap out of it and reached Mitsukai, who was eating pixie stix and drinking caffinated beverages.
Hiei: Shimatta...
Yusuke and Kurama: ^_^'''''''
Mitsukai: *acts very hyper* YAY!!!! HYPERNESS!!!!!! *jumps around*
Hiei: Mitsukai doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Gwen and her heritage is just an idea in Mitsukai's small mind.
Yusuke: Let the chapter be read!
Everyone: R&R plz!
Mitsukai: Thanks to The New Girl, who edited this chapter when I posted this up at FF.net. And thanks to Jaganshi Ran for editing it now.

Chapter Twelve
Kuwabara vs. Byakko
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
The group stopped at the top of the stone steps, taking a much needed break.
"Great, we have five fighters, one of whom is injured, one who is useless, and one who is still tired, so that leaves us with two worthy fighters," Hiei mumbled.
"Oh, Hiei! Don't be so harsh on yourself..." Kuwabara said comfortingly.
"Uh, I think he's talking about you," Yusuke pointed out.
Gwen helped Kurama as they leaned against a wall. Gwen rubbed her forehead and muttered, "Damn stairs..." Kurama just chuckled.
She raised an eyebrow at Kurama, then looked at Kuwabara. "So, Kuwabara, what's your weapon?"
Kuwabara turned around from his place near the window. "I got my super-awesome Reiken!" He pointed at himself with his thumb. "Here, let me show you!"
Focusing all of his energy into his right arm, Kuwabara created his all powerful Reiken!
"See! Pretty cool, huh?" He asked, grinning.
"Nah, I've seen it before," Yusuke replied nonchalantly.
"Oh! But I learned some new techniques! Watch! ...Reiken get longer!"
The sword grew nearly four feet taller, hitting the ceiling. They all looked up at it.
"Wow..." Gwen whistled.
Kuwabara then fell on his butt. "Sorry guys," he mumbled, "sometimes the sword makes a little...dizzy..."
Suddenly, everything shook as the Tantei heard a roar. Everyone looked at each other and ran to the source of the roar, and ended up outside. (Btw, Kuwabara had put away his sword.) They rushed out to a narrow bridge connecting the tower to a sort of courtyard, where an enormous white tiger who went by the name of Byakko stood waiting, preening his sickly green mane.
"Ok, Kuwabara. He's all yours," Gwen said as she let go of Kurama and stood in between him and Yusuke.
Byakko roared again, causing everything shake and the bridge to crumble a bit. "Which one of you is my challenger?" he growled.
"I am," the orange haired teen said, stepping forwards.
Byakko looked at Kuwabara and laughed. "You sent me this pathetic ningen?! HAHAHA!" He roared with laughter once again. Kuwabara glared at Byakko. His laughter subsiding, he made a further declaration. "I'll defeat you with nothing more than the hairs on my mane." Drawing three hairs from his mane, he blew on them, tossing them to the floor of the platform below his perch. They landed heavily, transforming into large bug-eyed creatures known as Monster Beasts.
"Now, my beasts, attack the ningen," Byakko ordered. The Monster Beasts lunged at Kuwabara, who had just formed his Spirit Sword, though it was of little use. He was badly scratched and bitten by the beasts, despite his efforts.
"Kuwabara! Let me fight! What you're doing is pointless!" Yusuke shouted.
"No! I never leave a fight!" Kuwabara yelled back.
"Kuwabara! You can't win by swinging your sword around! My Rei Kou Ha (shotgun) blast makes more sense, okay?"
'He's right... I can't win by swnging my sword around...' Kuwabara looked back at the bridge. 'Wait a minute - he's right!' "Watch and learn, Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled, running across the bridge with the Monster Beasts after him.
"The ningen is running away!" Byakko laughed.
"Hn. The coward finally gives up," Hiei muttered. "Typical."
"Ok, Kuwabara. It's my turn!" Yusuke shouted.
Kuwabara then stopped and turned around, shouting, "Reiken, get longer!" Trapped on the narrow pathway, the Monster Beasts were neatly shish kebabed, trapped on Kuwabara's Reiken.
The Tantei and Byakko stared in total shock. "Well, THAT was unexpected..." Gwen said.
"Heh, well, Urameshi had a point. I couldn't win by swinging my sword around, but once they were all lined up like this, it was easy!"
Byakko growled angrily. "You seem to forget, those beasts are still a part of me. They just need more energy!" Shocking more of his youki into the beasts, Byakko watched, satisfied, as they turned a nastily vibrant red and snarled and snapped at their captor. Kuwabara just smirked. Turning on his heel, he ran around the twower set in the center of the platform, leading the beasts behind him.
"Do you think he knows it's a circle?" Hiei asked cynically as they watched Kuwabara running around the tower.
Kuwabara looked back as he neared the opposite end of the Reiken and stopped short, latching the two together. "There! I call it the Monster Beast donut!" Kuwabara exclaimed proudly.
"Baka," Hiei remarked.
"Well, I think Monster Beast donut is a perfect name," Kurama commented.
"Heh Heh. I don't like this one, sir, you got chocolate with sprinkles?" Yusuke asked laughingly.
"Make mine chocolate covered!" Gwen giggled.
Byakko was furious by now. He jumped down from the top of the adjacent tower to the Monster Beast donut. "GGGRRRRR! You will pay for mocking a Saint Beast!" he roared.
Kuwabara walked up to him, thinking, 'Man, he looks a lot bigger up close...' He summoned his Reiken, and started the battle. For a long time, Kuwabara appeared to be winning, and easily. His Reiken stabbed Byakko cleanly nearly every time, and the tiger still didn't fight back. Watching curiously, Kurama suddenly noticed something odd.
"Look at his size -" he gestured towards Byakko, "it's increasing!" Yusuke gasped sharply and looked over. Kurama gestured again, this time to Kuwabara's Reiken. Or, what's left of it, at least. "And his sword - it's shrinking. Proportional to Byakko's increase."
"He's feeding off the energy," Hiei noted. Kurama nodded.
"Stop using your sword, Kuwabara!" Yusuke shouted. "Kurama says it's making him bigger!"
Kuwabara looked over at Yusuke, then back to Byakko, who was clutching his stomach with the self-satisfied look of someone who had just finished a particularly satisfying meal. Kuwabara's eyes lit suddenly with an idea.
"You hungry? HERE HAVE SOME MORE!" Kuwabara yelled, releasing more Reiki into his Reiken. Yusuke shouted from him to stop as Kuwabara stabbed Byakko again, pouring more reiki into the Reiken. Byakko felt his body expanding and expanding. With a sharp crash, he fell from the platform to the city below.
"Heh, heh, heh. Like my sister says, don't eat too much at one sitting or you'll explode!" Kuwabara said as Byakko fell. The Saint Beast roared as he plummeted to his demise over the cliff.
"Sister? Well, that explains a lot," Yusuke muttered as they went to Kuwabara.
"Quiet, you guys. I have to breathe in these fumes - they're filled with my reiki."
"Actually, your reiki returned automatically," Kurama explained.
"Oh. Phew! I'm tired! I'm not fighting any more in this mission."
Ring! Ring!
Yusuke and Gwen opened the Communication Mirrors to see Botan.
"Hello, Yusuke and Gwen. How are you doing? Please, tell me you finished three of the four Saint Beasts by now," she whined.
"Hi, Botan," Gwen smiled.
"Tell her I said hi!" Kuwabara yelled at Yusuke.
"We barely beaten two! These guys aren't easy, you know," Yusuke yelled.
"I know, that's not fast enough. I think the Saint Beasts have launched another wave of Insects," Botan sighed. There was a demon coming up behind her.
"Botan, look out!" Gwen shouted.
Boing!
The demon was hit on the head by a steel bat.
"Oh, these demons are quite easy to catch" - Botan saw the youkai getting up, and hit it again - "The real problem is catching the Insects. I caught only sixteen of those buggers in a whole day. I gotta go. Bye!"
Botan hung up, so Yusuke and Gwen shut off their mirrors. Yusuke hit Kuwabara as he tried to see Botan one more time.
"Well, you can't be that injured if you can still flirt..." the raven haired teen remarked.
ROARRRRRRRRRR!
Everything was crumbling around them as the Tantei ran to the other tower.
"What!? You're suppose to be dead!" Kuwabara shouted to the voice as he recognized the youki.
"Hmph! Very much alive, in fact! Why don't we settle this in my lair?" Byakko's voice proposed.
"Just lead the way, Byakko."
The Tantei followed the voice into a lava filled room with giant pillars all around. Kuwabara tore a piece of his jacket into the lava to test how hot it was. It turned to ashes even before it hit the lava.
"Eh! Don't wanna fall in there..."
"Welcome to my lair, The Den of Fire. This is a place where I come to...play," Byakko snickered from across the room on a huge pillar.
Kuwabara jumped onto a pillar and fell, but held onto it and pulled himself back up.
"Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled. "I could still get in the fight."
Kuwabara scrambled onto the platform muttering, "I don't wanna die..." a couple of times over. "I got this!" he shouted back. "It's just so damn hot in here..." He took off his jacket, revealing a muscular chest.
Gwen looked at him and a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks.
"You like Kuwabara?" the kitsune asked, noticing the girl's face.
"NEVER IN SEVEN HELLS!" She smacked Kurama.
"Aw, don't mind them. They just wanna fight so bad," Kuwabara said to Byakko. In the background, Yusuke and Hiei stared at Kurama while the hanyou smacked him once again.
"Hn. You're letting yourself go, kitsune..." Hiei muttered with annoyance.
However, Kurama didn't mind at all.
Byakko said, "Well, how about I show you a new technique." He covered his throat and growled, opening his mouth to reveal an immense electric green blast forming in his mouth.
"Wow..." Gwen murmured.
"Looks..." Yusuke started.
"Powerful..." Kurama finished Yusuke's sentence.
"Very," Hiei remarked.
He spit it out to Kuwabara and shouted, "Tiger Scream!"
"I'll just hit it back with my Spirit Sword," Kuwabara said, holding the sword as if it was a bat.
"YOU MUSTN'T TOUCH IT!" Kurama exclaimed. Kuwabara looked back, and moved to another pillar.
"So, that's what it looks like," Hiei whispered.
Gwen looked at him. "You've heard of that attack?"
"Yes," Hiei murmured. "For years, I've heard of a fighter who could destroy molecular bonds with the vibrations of his voice. I never thought I'd meet him."
"If Kuwabara did hit the attack with his sword, it will have a chain reaction that will destory his entire spirit," Kurama said.
The whole fight from then on was Kuwabara jumping pillar to pillar until...
"Ha! I trapped you!" Byakko shouted.
"Nani?!" Kuwabara yelled. He looked around and saw that there were no more pillars to jump on. He looked in front of him and saw a small pillar in between the two fighters. 'He forgot one...'
BANG!
The pillar was blown up. "Forgive me," Byakko laughed. "The small ones are so easy to overlook. The only chance for you to win is to jump across here, but you're too far away."
"Hiei, can you reach him?" Kurama asked.
"If need be."
"NO! I'm not giving up this fight! I got an honor code and I'm not backing down!" Kuwabara yelled at his teammates. "I know you're over there, thinking of a way to save me, but you're staying there. I don't need help!"
"Hn. A ningen with an honor code."
"Yeah, he's as stubborn as a mule," Yusuke muttered.
"Hm, reminds me of someone, doesn't he?" Kurama asked Yusuke. Gwen smiled, knowing the answer is yes, and that someone was Yusuke.
Kuwabara then jumped across to reach Byakko, but fell. "Ha! Actually, I lied! You could never have reached me!... Huh?"
Kuwabara lenghtened his Reiken and pushed off of the destroyed pillar, using it as a catapult to reach Byakko. Kuwabara took his right hand back and swung his fist at Byakko, making both of them fall.
'How... could this have happened?' thought Byakko.
'Heh, I'm just glad I got the chance to hit you,' Kuwabara thought. "Now let's go to oblivion together!"
Byakko landed in the lava, and the Reikai Tentai thought their teammate had died as well.
"Kuwabara...YOU CAN'T DIE! This is so STUPID! If we're protecting the world, then who's protecting us?!" Yusuke yelled as he fell to his knees. Gwen bowed her head.
"HEY YOU GUYS! A LITTLE HELP!"
"Kuwabara?" Gwen wondered aloud. They jumped to the pillar. They saw a bandage caught on the edge of the platform and Kuwabara was holding on it for dear life.
"Hey, help me up!"
"I thought you didn't need our help," Kurama said.
"Yeah," Yusuke agreed.
"It's not funny! I think something slippin'!" Kuwabara yelled.
Yusuke looked behind him to look at Kurama, Gwen, and Hiei. "Well, two more, and we'll be outta here."
Gwen smiled and looked at her two best friends. "Come on." They walked away.
"YOU GUYS! HELP ME!"
^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^
