Aura Speaks through the Mist

Summary: Kieko, girlfriend to Yusuke Urameshi is fed up with his inconsiderate behavior; she only has one other option go through what he has and give herself a push to be his equal, in every way.

A/N: I'm Glad you guys like the girls. This is so much fun to write, you have no idea.

Last piece:

'Nicely put!'

"This is for my friend who felt sorry for them and got his ass beat into the ground."

'Thanks for the shout out.'

"And the last ones for me, for even thinking you could put your hands on my woman."

That had to be the hardest punch she's seen Yusuke throw in so far. It made Kieko's heart flutter a bit before she felt that shiver go up her spine. Eye contact with Botan was the worst sometimes. That indication torture and Kieko wasn't looking forward to it.

=w=

Kieko had a little intermission, after the fight with team Ichigaki and the recuperation of Kuwabara, Kieko had slipped away and she was grateful for the breather. She had not de-transformed or released the magic that held her along with her team mates. They had a 20-minute break anyway and Kieko she refused to leave her team vulnerable. The time between would be spent taking some time to think as well. Her thoughts were constant.

Opening the window and opening her arms, she began to absorb the sunlight from the sky. It was a good way to build the energy within the crystal that hung on her neck. It absorbed light energy and in this place she had lots of power to draw from, for now.

Being a Guardian and wielding the crystal to the 'Rising Hope' wasn't too bad. She got to help people. Kind of like a super hero and Kieko loved that idea. The more time she spent as a Guardian, the more time she had to become powerful and match Yusuke for power. She owed him that much, a good beat down for always lying to her! He probably never even thought about how much that hurt her? In turn his lies had pushed her in the right direction of becoming a Guardian in the first place.

The door opened and Kieko turned around, heaving and bowing deeply to the woman before her. This was her teacher and her master. This woman had taught Kieko everything she needed to know and made sure the girl was strong enough to get by on her own. The training had been harsh and Kieko had been in over her head at first. Especially with not knowing how to transform and using her human ability to keep her alive. That was more a pain than anything.

"Master Genkai."

"Kieko you have done well. I am extremely impressed with your progress. Your leadership has carried you well, do you plan on trying to win the tournament?"

Kieko shook her head at that. She didn't plan to go all the way. In a small way, she knew that Yusuke would not want her fighting Toguro even though she had every right to.

"I want to make it so Yusuke gets to the final round. I won't make it easy for him though." Kieko started with a rueful chuckle before she took a deep breath and sighed shaking her head.

"Team Urameshi vs. Team Guardian, how do you think that would work?" Genkai chuckled and took the females hand and at that motion, Kieko dropped to her knee and let the woman bestow upon her any gift.

"Kieko, things are going to change soon." The woman spoke and Kieko gave her look of confusion but didn't question her. She knew better. Moving her hand over the stone that was in the middle of Kieko's chest, she invoked her spirit energy and Kieko flinched before yelping at the roaring energy that rolled over her body and encased her in it. She felt better, a little more powerful. It was awfully good in a way. As the powers receded she felt her body return to normal before she shook it off.

"A gift for being a great student, Kieko, use it wisely." Kieko nodded and she could only imagine how her team felt. The gems were connected and the power that she got from Genkai, flowed through crystals connecting them by more power.

Genkai returned and bandaged her face before exiting the room. Kieko followed her and rewrapped the cloak around her body before leaving the room. She had a feeling that she would need this power to keep moving.

That scared her the most.

=w=

"Team Urameshi Vs. Team Masho!"

The wind whipped up and Kyame yelped as she held her skirt down and heard Blake cheer at the wind. The cloaks around them fluttered heavily in the wind. Yukina had to brace hers the most out of the five.

"This is awesome!" Blake cheered.

"Yeah says you!" Kyame squeaked before she looked up and met the eyes of the male who created said wind and she felt her heart soar at the wind of the man. Jin, the wind master. She knows that voice anywhere.

"Hey, you guys." A familiar voice interrupted.

"Hey Kieko, how was your break?" Kyame asked. Kieko nodded and motioned for Kyame to give her, her hands. When their hands touched, a small glow flickered through the female's jewel on her shoulder.

"You saw Genkai?" Shizuru spoke quietly. Kieko nodded solemnly before sighing gently.

"She said that things are going to change and I am unsure what she means. It makes me quite nervous about this situation. I don't know much about her past but she needed to give us this power and that makes me nervous." Kieko explained. The leader of the guardians knew better than to just accept this to be a meager gift. She knew that there was something else in the works and that made her worry her lip to nothing.
-w-

"Uwah!" Kyame cooed as Jin's cloak lifted off of him, Kyame's wings lifted her up as she started to float forward, her emotions leading her. She felt someone grab her cloak and sit her back down.

"Shizuru!" she squeaked.

"Chill out, lover girl. Only Kurama and Hiei knows it's us and only the whole team knows its Kieko and I. let's not be so out there." Kyame puffed her cheeks before crossing her arms, sneaking glances at the red haired demon that stood to negotiate. Was that an accent? Oh yes please, place him right on a silver platter and deliver him right to Kyame's doorstep.

"And he's manly…Wow~ Oh Shizuru can I keep him?" Kyame pleaded. Jin's energy was so light and airy, Kyame couldn't help but shudder. Blinking and trying to wipe the love struck look off her face, she bit her lip and shook it off.

"—The shinobi of the spirit world." Kurama started. Kieko turned and looked down at the conversing male before her eyes widened, of course. The ninja's. No wonder why Kyame was so struck by them. She had been talking about the shinobi set, since she had got to the island.

"Team Captains, please decide the battle terms."

There was silence before Jin spoke and Kyame leaned on the railing,

"One to one to one, to line the tower on my feet."

"Yeah, whatever he said." Yusuke affirmed.

"Jin suggests one on one battles with the advancing teams taking five wins, and Yusuke gives the nod."

Kieko slammed her fist into her palm before grinning.

"They're on a roll Shizuru, they can do it."

"I don't know what tournament you're watching but half the team I'm cheering for can't even walk." She scoffed as she puffed out a breath from her cigarette. Kieko's eyes narrowed as she took in the words that passed between Jin and Yusuke. They were speaking but, she couldn't make out what they were saying.

-w-

'Can I have your attention please. The tournament committee will be instituting a medical examination before the next round."

"What is this, gym class?" Yusuke questioned hopping off the platform.

"Due to the Urameshi team fighting without rest. Please proceed to the medical tent.'

"As long as they don't make me grab my balls and cough." Yusuke sneered before the ever seductive Ruka stepped out of the light. Kieko's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Scratch that." Yusuke spoke as he swallowed back that appreciative sound. Kieko had to be held down by the ever so sweet Yukina who tried to calm down the female.

"Skank." Kieko hissed.

"I'm am Ruka, please come with me, Hiei and Masked Fighter."

"I don't need treatment, why not nurse the buffoon that's currently laying on his back?" Hiei scoffed and Ruka gave him a smirk before holding up her clip board.

"His wounds don't interest me like yours do, Hiei. Maybe I can help you." She spoke seductively before Hiei and the masked fighter followed her to the tent. Yukina's eyes narrowed as she scrutinized the female holding her friends in her little tent. Yukina didn't believe it. She knew better and in turn she opened her mouth and sent a snowflake to latch onto the tent and leave a piece of her energy in it.

Call it a nice little power that would keep her intertwined to the force that was Ruka. It was precaution to make sure her friends were okay. She did not trust the committee as far as she could throw them.

"—Why do you ask? Isn't it your job to know?" Hiei spoke lowly with his eyes narrowed.

Yukina closed her eyes and concentrated on the sensations of the woman. It was calm at first before she flinched and let out a yelp as Hiei and the Masked fighter began to run out. She watched them before her power snapped back at her and she winced, holding her head before Shizuru caught her falling body.

"Dammit! What's happening to them, Kurama?" Yusuke asked with hiss.

"It's a force field."

"Hey red head! Why do I get the feeling that you're not a licensed nurse?!" Yusuke spoke as he ran at her before he flinched. An arrow that tried to get passed it disintegrated as well. Kyame scoffed. Ruka's powers were blocking them both. Ruka smirked and whipped off her belt before she revealed her body to the tournament. Wrapped in vines as she leaned on her hip and smirked.

"Enchantress is more like it. Ruka is my name, regarded as the most talented creature alive, in defense, spells and incantations."

Kieko looked at Yukina who took it as a go ahead before jumping down off the railing and into the holding area next to Kuwabara. She knew that it would take some time and she needed to heal him just a bit. The cloaked female landed next to the injured male as she opened her hands and set herself to healing him.

"What does that mean?" He asked quietly.

"It's another way to manipulate energy. She's physically weak but her defense is so strong that it doesn't matter." Yukina explained as Ruka smirked and looked at the female with a chuckle

"I couldn't have said it better myself. Such an intelligent little female. Gaining some knowledge after leaving your little island.'

Yukina scoffed and stood up before cocking her head to the side.

"Give me a reason, I dare you." She told the female with a glare. Yusuke growled.

"Give me my damn team back."

"—They need time to recover. Soku jo-jo." She spoke as the two fighters fell back in the tent grunting in pain. Yukina's eyes widened before she ran to the tent and flicked her wrist, her blade pressed to Ruka's neck.

"Release them." She spoke coldly. Ruka smirked as the energy crackled and her eyes narrowed before Kieko gave her the look. Yukina pulled her blade back and flicked it before she banished it away. She would get her revenge for this.

"Hiei and the Masked Fighter have been ruled, unfit to fight."

Yusuke growled and jumped into the ring.

"How could you let them lie like that?! "

"I told you! I don't have anything to do with these decisions. Really! I'm completely neutral."

"Wrong stupid answer."

Yukina looked on in frustration, the committee wasn't even trying at this point. It was no secret that they had it out for the team. They could at least try to make it not obvious. Yukina met eyes with her team and Kieko shook her head.

The committee has helped less than they think. Hiei and the Master were unfit to fight anyway. She knew that from the beginning. Jin was quite the interesting male to turn down such a thing. She was impressed by that. The team would be lured into a false sense of security of course, because the team was outnumbered.

"Five against two, you can destroy them all, Jin." The tall one spoke.

"Nah, I'm going to have to pass if it's going to be a fixin like that. I don't give a damn, somebody else go." Jin scoffed before stepping forward to go sit by the wall. He was grabbed by the larger one and Jin snarled at him.

"Keep your hands off him!" Yukina could hear Kyame yelling and the snow maiden slammed a hand to her forehead that was hidden under her hood.

'Your crush is showing, Kyame-san.'

"Don't you ever put your grubby hands on me again." He growled before tossing the males hand away. Jin then walked away before sitting the wall and Whistling away.

-
Above Kieko along with Blake were watching the battles very intensely. Kyame had a run in with the Shinobi Sect some time ago and that's when she had first laid eyes on Jin. She had been running from the shinobi for trespassing and after being bound by the make-up, she was found by Jin. He had taken her somewhere safe before leaving her, telling her to wait it out. At the time she had not realized that he was a shinobi, his mannerisms not that of a ninja.

Kyame had been enthralled before she knew it. It was normal for her though, to crush on him, she supposed. Kyame herself had been retrieved by Yukina and brought her to the ice world.

Kyame was shaken from her musings as she whipped her head around.

Blake's gasp is what brought them back to the match. Kurama had been trapped by Gama's make up of chains and that made her heart speed up and race like a bullet train. Gods no. Blake winced for every cut that was inflicted on Kurama's skin.

The makeup of chains.

This whole set up was fishy.

=w=

Kieko spun on her toe before she sprinted from their seats and ran through the stadium. It would be easier to fly but Kieko didn't want to expend any energy if she could help it. She needed to know what their plan was, she felt her body begin to lift up but she then stilled and hid behind a wall. Her ears picked up the sound of a male voice.

'Toguro!'

"I'm not fond of Butagiri, Toguro."

"I can understand, Mr. Sakyo. He's pulling strings and it's irritating to deal with." Kieko slowed her breathing and stilled her body as the male seemed to frown.

"We have a visitor." Toguro spoke before Kieko gasped and jumped away from the wall that shattered under his touch. Her eyes widened in almost fear as she floated above him.

"Ah, Kieko."

Sakyo looked on from behind Toguro in interest before he smirked and lit a cigarette.

"Toguro, who is this?" He spoke around the cigarette before releasing the air from his lungs.

"My Niece, Kieko. Girlfriend to Yusuke." Toguro spoke as Kieko looked down at him from her perch on a ceiling beam. She smirked and tilted her head at him which inclined Toguro to chuckle as he turned away from her. It was interesting to see his niece so well rested and powerful. He was impressed.

"So Kieko, what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I'm not here to see you." She sneered before narrowing her eyes at them and giving him a less than friendly look. The business tycoon watched on with interest as he chuckled and waved his hand before Toguro side stepped. Kieko took that sign before she jumped off and flew past them and down the hall. Her speed had increased as well. Toguro wasn't one for theatrics but this made him frustrated. He knew she had a grudge against him for doing what he had done.

But she would understand.

=w=

"NO, HE'S NOT EVEN CONSCIOUS!" Yusuke called out before the battle had to continue, Bakken getting the best of Kurama, over and over again. It was disgusting. When Kieko flew into the stadium, the girls had gotten closer and Koto ran to Kurama's side before she was carelessly batted away by Bakken and into Yukina's arms. It was cruel and the air around the ice maiden shimmered and dropped in temperature.

Kieko's eyes narrowed as she opened her hands and concentrated. Her eyes flickered to the wall of score and she smirked, her energy crackling around her.

"Bakken! Lay him outside of the ring." The cloaked man spoke with an almost bored tone. Bakken flinched and looked at the male.

"But why, Risho?"

"I suggest you do it, unless you think you could survive those attacks to the back." He spoke as the big brute whipped around and flinched back at the sheer power behind him. Yusuke had begun to load his spirit gun with that look of killing intent. Kieko was by his side her own dark blue spirit gun beginning its loading as well.

Shizuru was surrounding herself in what looked to be lava, it was seeping to the ground. Yukina stood in front of the tent, her Rapier pointing at the male, her snowflake's runes surrounding the ring, rimmed with red. Blake wore the angriest look on her face that Kieko had ever seen, her eyes were lit up and she had encased her whole body in the hot energy that crackled around her. Kyame twirled her scythe in her hands as she pointed the sniper part in his face. His eyes could see the inside of the gun with how close he was.

"They don't care about this tournament like we do. They will kill you to protect their friend. We need to win not be a part of a revolt." He hissed. Bakken scoffed and tossed Kurama out of the ring and Blake sprinted before she slid on her knees to catch the male in her arms.

The Guardians relaxed their powers as Blake held the male in her arms. Shizuru moved and knelt by her brother before giving him a look. He was out for a little bit after the wanting to get up and fight. His injuries were pretty bad and that made Shizuru a little worried. She'd get Yukina over there as soon as possible.

"Just change the damn scoreboard already." Koto hissed as she climbed back on the ring, she had thanked Yukina for saving her before doing so. The ice maiden looked at the enchantress with narrowed eyes and Hiei looked almost surprised, this look was different.

Blake had begun pouring some of her energy into Kurama's body, attempting to coax his own out to respond and help him heal. This battle had been something for him. Kieko knew that Blake would take care of him and turned her attention to Yusuke before placing her hand on his shoulder. He looked back at her and she nodded.

"Rip him a new one, Yusuke." He nodded.

"Right."

=w=

"You've got two real options here. You can either turn around and have me beat the crap out of you. Or you can get on your hands and knees and start begging. And Maybe, just maybe, I'll listen." Yusuke spoke with a smirk on his face.

Kieko shuddered and Shizuru nudged her with a lecherous smirk on her lips. Kieko's cheeks lit up and she looked away.

"You dirty little son of a bi-" Bakken couldn't get the words our before Yusuke slammed his fist into the demon's stomach. Bakken flinched as he coughed up his blood. Kieko and the Guardian's cheered at the huddled form that was Bakken.

"I'm pretty sure we all know what that huddled over pose means. I only wish everyone in the audience could have heard those cracking bones!" Koto exclaimed as hopped away and chuckled.

"Damn, I missed a few. Ya know those lower ribs are hard to reach." Yusuke spoke mockingly.

"—Please have some mercy!"

"Yeah Mercy, like you had some when Kurama was laid out on the floor." Bakken had not realized how much Yusuke cared for Kurama, and his team. Kieko scoffed and looked at Yusuke's back, this was another way of their difference. She was more inclined to destroy her opponents. No talking necessary.

"I don't see why Yusuke won't just end him." Kieko spoke. "Why does he have to talk?"

Yukina giggled behind her hand.

"The same reason you do it."

"I do not!"

"You so do."

"-I was just excited!" Bakken stuttered out. Shizuru chuckled as she stepped on her finished cigarette. She looked bored at this match. Yusuke had already made his decision. He did. She could see it in his eyes.

And then Bakkens started to cry. Kieko couldn't believe it. It made her want to die, she was laughing so hard. She couldn't help herself. She heard the rock his Yusuke's head before he got pissed off and threw Bakken in the air before assaulting him with a barrage of punches. Yusuke's punch sent him flying and Kieko jumped into the air with cheer. Yusuke's fight with Bakken was one of comedic relief since he was no match for Yusuke. As he flew passed the red headed wind demon, Kyame's eyes lit up in hearts as she took in the male. Gods! He was beautiful up close too.

"Out of the ring! Naturally I'll take a ten count." Koto spoke.

Kieko, Shizuru and Kyame, returned to the front stands to watch, while Blake held Kurama and Yukina kept an eyes on Ruka while she was healing Kuwabara. Kieko wanted to congratulate Yusuke but she couldn't bring her herself to actually talk to him for real. Not just a good luck or something.

But she couldn't. She was big chicken, that's why. She sighed heavily and plopped herself on the stadium edge. She was such a chicken, guardian chicken. Sighing heavily, she leaned on her shoulder as Kieko watched Yusuke kneel by Kurama and the melancholy Blake.

"How's your wound?"

"Blake has been passing some of her energy to me, so I've been coaxing the plant out. Sorry I couldn't take out the three like I had planned." Kurama spoke gently. Yusuke chuckled.

"Shut up, just get better."

"Be cautious, Yusuke. Whatever the shinobi are after, they want it very badly." Kurama spoke gently. Blake met Yusuke's eyes and nodded.

"Don't get distracted." She told him. Yusuke nodded and she gave him a small smile. Yusuke jumped into the ring and Kieko stood up before she cleared her throat. Shizuru chuckled at the eager leader. She was so cute.

"Lucky eyes ya got." Yusuke furrowed his brow and eyed the male in surprise.

"Umm."

"Dammit! I can't believe the ruckus their makin up, can't even make a thought. Though I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the ears." At that Yusuke looked confused.

"Hu?"

"They are wigglin up and pointin like none before. They only get that way when I'm happy or excited and I haven't been either for a long time. But seeing biggey flying up high and passed. Whoo! Almost lost it.!" Jin seemed to squat and then bounce up.

"Well didn'a hear me?! I'm talkin about how ya knocked away Bakkens fog and took em on a first class ride on ya fist. I never did like that guy the wind around his pores was pretty stinky. Actually I'm kind of glad you waxed him! Oh! Don't tell Risho I told you that." Jin told him, that last part in a whisper. Yusuke snickered and had to hide the laugh behind his hand before chuckling.

"Ah Yusuke always makin friends where ever he goes." Kieko chuckled.

"Jin Vs Yusuke! Match four! Let err rip!"

Koto began the match but Jin and Yusuke shared a quick laugh and Kieko raised an eyebrow. Boys will be boys. Now she had some exploring to do. Or so she thought. Shizuru then stopped her from standing before dusting off her pants and looking at the female.

"I'll take this one."

"Ya sure?"

"Yeah, it's no problem besides, Yusuke needs you to support him. I've got some free time on my hands." She explained as she put her cigarette out on a demon's head before waving to the female and walking down the hallway. Shizuru's eyes turned almost heated as she looked around and moved against the walls. The corridors were empty and she had free reign to do some stealth.

Why was the committee so against, Yusuke's team? It was something that didn't sit right with her and in turn, she would find out why. First stop? The committee booth. Interrogation was the fun part. She just needed to get into the office immediately, before something else happened. She ran down the corridor before glaring at some of the demons. Disgusting creatures some of them.

It didn't matter to her where they came from.

She stopped in the open space of the corridor before looking around. She was being watched, she could feel it. She turned and slammed a kick into a demons face as he crashed into his partner. One tried to grab her but she pushed off the ground and knocked two of their heads together.

"This Guardian needs her little wings plucked." It didn't matter to her, they would burn under her fingers. Narrowing her eyes, she slid across the ground and ran forward before swiping her hands through the air and smirking at the bodies that turned to ash right in front of her. She brushed off her clothes and smirked.

"Ah, a stray guardian." She turned and met the gaze of the male who was in fact Toguro's employer. Sakyo.

"Strays a harsh word." She spoke putting a cigarette in her mouth. She offered his lighter and she let him light her up. Taking a puff, she furrowed her brow. Interrogation would happen, smoke break first.

=w=

Kieko flinched and dove out the way before she floated in the sky where Jin had just come from, Kyame stood next to her. Kieko's eyes widened.

"Well aren't ya going to go make sure Jin's okay?"

"Oh! Right!"

Kieko's eyes scanned the crowd, no sign of Toguro or Sakyo at that, Shizuru should be looking for the committee. Yukina and Blake are on Healing duty and Kyame was with Jin. So in short, her team was scattered about. Kieko could feel the put of their distance on the jewel seated within her hand. It wasn't too bad especially since they were still working together.

She landed next to the medical tent before connecting eyes with Ruka, who flinched. The Guardian's themselves had been known across demon world and regarded as boogeymen in skirts. Kind of like Yusuke but without the skirt.

So far, this generations guardians had exceeded the expectations set for them. Kieko was a smart leader and she was able to think on her feet, much to her opponent's anger. Maybe it was a bad thing that she was so smart but she never paid any heed to it.

"You'll die without ever laying a hand on me."

"Stop the fight immediately!"

"Tournament Committee please explain."

"Due to the delay in Koto's count in the last match between Jin and Yusuke, that fight has been ruled a double loss."

Kieko's eyes widened as the committee began to speak. Shizuru's been compromised, she furrowed her brow and opened her hand to see where Shizuru was. The crystal showed her that the female was running down a corridor to the higher ups.

"—But Honor!" Touya exclaimed.

"they fought for the light and now we get to enjoy it. Never lose sight of the bigger picture. That's Why I am the leader and you are the grunt." Risho snared after slamming his rock arm into Touya's open wound.

Kieko's eyes narrowed as she took to the air and crossed her arms.

"—You won't be officiating any longer."

"W…What? But this is my show." Koto muttered.

"Ya know you seem really anxious to intimidate everyone else but me. I wonder why that is." Yusuke mocked as he glared at him. The male returned his look with a disbelieving one.

"Between you and Bakken I don't know which ones the more cowardly one." Kieko spoke coldly.

"Detective, Guardian. Don't try to fight by their rules. If you do you'll get dragged down with them."

"Sounds like a plan. There's only one rule in the dark tournament." Kieko spoke with her fists at the ready, she didn't mind an all-out brawl, especially to protect her friends.

"Exactly. The strongest prevails." Hiei smirked, his power encasing the tent.

"They're going to kill us anyway. Might as well take all of em until there's none left." Yusuke growled.

"Kieko." Yukina spoke as she stood up and Kuwabara stood up shakily behind her. Between her healing hands and time constraints, he wasn't up to a hundred percent yet. It would do for now.

Yukina could hear the back and forth between Yusuke and the big lug, a name full of affection of course. They had to win clean like men. If not, they would be like them.

"How touching."

That got a laugh out of Kieko and Yukina.

"To think, they could be in-laws." Blake murmured to Kurama. The male she was currently feeding energy to chuckled at that. She saw Hiei bristle and she furrowed her brow before she looked down and buried her head in the male's shoulder as her own shoulders shook in amusement.

'If you show your face to him, Kuwabara will get stronger.'

Yukina would use that to make sure that Kuwabara would win.
When the male climbed in the ring, Kieko turned her head towards Yukina as the apparition lifted herself up and returned to Kieko's side before dropping down to the seats and releasing her transformation. The female cleared her throat and as Kuwabara was getting thrashed, Yukina stood up and yelled.

"Kazuma!" That's all it took for the male to kick his ass into overdrive. Kuwabara's eyes lit up before he unleashed his attack on Risho. Koto counted the male out and declared victory for the Urameshi team. After such, Blake reluctantly let Kurama go so he may go forth and finish up his own healing.

Hiei looked surprised at Yukina, she was quite cunning.

=w=

"Ya know, all I'm saying is that ya could have come and see me. It's not like we're on fieldtrip with stupid chaperones." Yusuke told the female under the setting sun. She had yet to release whatever magick held her. His eyes traveled her body and landed on the 'G' that hung on her hip. It was taunting him, telling of her status.

"I dunno it looked it was fun fighting for your life." She mocked before crossing her arms and looking away from him. He chuckled at her and she flicked his forehead.

"What? Since when does Kieko care about Yusuke having fun?" He teased. She huffed and whipped around.

"Since when does Yusuke listen to Kieko!?" She exclaimed before she turned around and crossed her arms in frustration. He was so dumb sometimes.

"Look, we've both been doing a bit of growing since we last saw each other. You especially. This guardian work is doing a lot for you. Is it just these shorts, or have you always had a nice ass?" He asked as he squatted down and poked her bottom. She squeaked and whipped around her hand connecting to his cheek, knocking him over. He chuckled and she knelt in front of him before she met his lips with her own. His eyes widened and he returned her kiss after a half a second. Perhaps it was her powers that made her so bold or perhaps she was simply happy to be with him again.

In truth, Kieko had missed Yusuke.

She broke the kiss and her cheeks skittered with a blush. He chuckled at her expression before touching her cheek.

"You know I won't go easy on you." She murmured against his lips. She could feel the smirk and she almost wanted to punch him in the face.

"I look forward to it." He told her. She grinned and stood up as she walked to the tree line. She turned and looked back at him.

"Ya know, if you die, I swear I'll kill you." She lifted up her finger.

"Bang,"

He gave her a thumbs up and smirked.

"I swear; I won't get beat." He told her as she ran off into the bushes. "Though with a hit like that. She should fight for our team."

=w=

Kieko got the arena and looked around before her eyes landed on the board for the next matches.

"Tomorrow, we'll have Team Guardian led by Kieko vs Team Satan led by Lucifer! I hope you're in for a blood bath people because that promises to be one!"


Unedited. Unbeta-ed

Until Next time.
