Chapter 4:
Get ready for the third round, yes this episode is every popular for all of you who like Hiei. So we will just get moving so you wouldn't kill me.
Chapter 4: Fiery Due-O of Flames!
"Will the next fighters please come forward, Next Contestants...Hello?" Koto shouted. Suddenly an opponent stepped up to the ring, causing a sudden power surge to hit all of us along with a crowd outboard break.
We turned to look at the ring curiously and there was Zeru standing there with his stare of fire.
"Zeru have already made his appearance, now we are waiting for a fighter form the Urameshi's team!" Keiko as waved at our side of the field.
The whispers of the crowd: That guy is very powerful! Whoever is chosen to beat him is done for!
"What this, their team captain is fighting now?" Kurama muttered thoughtfully.
"But he is supposed to go last! Maybe there is a mistake?" Kuwabara said, hoping to change this solution.
"No," Hiei said immediately calling all of our attention on him. He smirked slightly and continued, "He's definitely the strongest of that team. Like most teams, they probably drew lots for fight order."
Kuwabara: So… you are saying he got number 3?
"Must you question me on all the obvious?" Hiei reply with no effort, silently wishing Kuwabara would annoy Kurama or me instead. 'He is lucky that I already set on one particular target today.'
"I'll take him. I want to get back at him for making fools of us last night," Hiei said taking the cloth off. The cloth flew from Hiei, as a roar of wind pass by, blew it up to Kuwabara's face.
Kuwabara: Ahh! ... Hiei's scarf is alive! Get it off! Get it OFF!!
Botan & Lisa: OO Lol
'Prophetic fool,' Hiei snorted and walked up to the battle ring, ready to take Zeru head on.
"I see you use a kind of flames," Hiei was saying as he stood calming in front of Zeru.
Zeru: Yes, so what? Keep your mischievous comments to yourself.
Hiei looked at him confidently and continued, "I checked that cup. It looked like it had been sliced up by a blade, but the edges were melted. You lack refinement." (Sigh, must they always insult each other before every fight? Properly just to get more screen time.)
'I never knew Hiei is turning into teacher! He seem to go into lecture mode more often now and speaking more long tech-dictionary language which I don't bother, Fighting hard to stay awake from their chip-cha is much harder than I thought, I knew I should have bring some sugar pills with me.'
"Ah yes, my flaws, but I believe you have your own. I don't think I want advice from someone who has to use a fake eye!" Zeru said.
Koto: Let's go!
"Enough talk," Hiei said in disinterest.
"Agreed," Zeru spoke as he let out a burst of fire, surrounding himself. "I am going to reduce you to ashes!"
Kuwabara: Fuck that is hot! Guys, I am having a bad feeling about this!!
Botan: We all do, Kuwabara…
Lisa: Where's a freezer when you need one?
Zeru start forming fires in his hand, "Well, are you afraid? What do you think about this power?
"Hn, so? I am waiting…" Hiei stood perfectly still as Zeru looked at him and then before anyone could see what happened he had disappeared. No one could even take a breath before he reappeared and stabbed his flaming hand through Hiei's stomach.
Hiei looked slightly stunned as he was thrown back away from Zeru and then engulfed by the demon's flames. Only the faint silhouette of Hiei's body was recognizable through the flames and he slammed onto the ground with a thud.
Kurama was completely stunned at what just happened to his friend and Kuwabara couldn't believe that Hiei was defeated so easily.
"Boy, this guy's kind of crazy, if ya ask me!" Kuwabara said as he looked at all that fire with a worried expression. I wondered briefly if he was worried about Hiei or worried that Zeru would win and torch him later.
Anyhow, I blinked, trying to get those flashing bright circler light away from my eye.
Kuwabara (was still gapping his gums): He just defeated Hiei in just one single blow!
"Heh. Hardly worth getting out of bed for that," Zeru said looking cockily over at us. I tensed slightly, but I immediately relaxed at the sight behind him.
"You're so talented that I am relented to make the kill. Pity I have to kill you anyway. However…" Hiei began in a very smug tone.
"Ahh…Oh my (dramatic drum effect) Hiei survived. He is on his feet and he is …hmm…smoldering…" Koto managed to get out from her shock.
Kuwabara, Kurama and Botan gasped. I just watched the entire pretty flame dance around Hiei, like it wasn't burning him at all.
Zeru froze in his place and threw his head over his shoulder to stare at him in fearful surprise. "How could you survive my fire?"
"Heh," Hiei gave a snort of contempt, "I think you are overconfident. Truth, My Jagan eye may not be magically… natural but it does give me what I needed!" Hiei said when burn off his forehead, I meant; he burnt of his headband, revealing his purple pupil Jagan eye. "Oh, The Dragon of the Darkness Flame." Hiei stated in a powerful firm voice.
"I don't believe it's true! He's going to attempt the Darkness technique, here in the human world!" Kurama cried, looking up at Hiei and the massive energy he was gathering.
Kuwabara: And you are scared shirtless why?
"It's The Dragon of the Darkness Flame. It's a legendary attack that many reckless people attempt but none succeed. As of yet, no one has really managed to control the attack. Hiei is going to try to call out the Dragon of the Darkness Flame from the pits of Sprit World. It's an incredible dangerous technique that could end up killing our friend and us…or worse." Kurama said, looking grim.
Kuwabara screamed "What?!" nearly wetting himself.
I looked over to them and answered to help lower their worry, "Hiei is currently at his peak of his power. Something tells me, he was thinking about using for sometime now. And we also knew that he isn't some kind of reckless moron who goes mixing some dangerously exploding chemical without caution."
Kurama nodded, clearly agreeing with me. "Lisa…where did you get that bucket of popcorns?
Lisa (trying to look incorrect): No clue.
Botan & Kuwabara: Can we have some?
Lisa: Sure.
Kuwabara looked dazed having a flashback, "Oh yeah, one time I almost blew up the science lab because of those chemical. Heh, opps my bad. Did I just say that out loud?
Kuwabara looked around and saw nobody is paying attention to him but to Hiei! And they take the popcorn with them. Expect for Yusuke, who is deep sleeping, can't watch the movie going on. Kuwabara damned face fault.
Back to the fight!
"You should have never insulted a Jagan eye because you see in a way it has its own mind and loathes disrespect. Resisting it isn't something I would do," Hiei snapped out. 'Specially when the Jagan eye overlaod when insulted and will explode my head if I don't blast him into mirco-bits' "I think just my right arm will do."
"You know it is impossible to control it once it's released. There's no thinking what could happen. "Hiei began pouring more power into his arms and flames suddenly erupted all around him. His shirt was burned off of his chest. "You should be honored; you are the first to witness my dragon of the darkness flame!"
Koto: Excuse me but I have to get to safety now, it's getting too dangerous…!"
Super ultra cutsence!
Hiei: Dragon of the Darkness Flame!!
Hiei shouted as he unleashed the Black Dragon on the completely helpless Zeru. Flames encased his entire body and we were all thrown back at the sheer power of the impact.
Zeru: Flames from the deepest pit of the spirit world!? (Switch to hopeless tone) Oh help me…
God seems to not really hear him. Zeru didn't even know what hit him. He only made a sound when he was slammed against the wall, but then he just burned in complete silence with a stunned look on his face.
The team stared at scene in awe with popcorn in their mouth.
Kurama: Hiei had succeeded!
I turned my attention back to the ring and noticed Koto's little fox ears appear over the edge. She looked around warily before standing up and seeing where Hiei's attention was. She followed his eyes and nearly froze in her tracks.
"Oh my…the wall…" she gasped upon seeing the scorch mark. "I better start counting then."
Kuwabara: LOL, Zeru got flamed! 0(o)0
"Trust me, he's not coming back", Hiei reply coolly, still looking at his fried arm.
Lisa: 'Ya, Take that bitch!' -
Botan: That fight is intensive I don't even remember finishing Lisa's popcorn!
Lisa: Ya…wait you did what!
Botan: I'm sorry I will buy you another one on me.
"Well I guess it's useless to count then Hiei is the winner!" Koto announced to the not so happy crowd but they were silent as they watched the Fire Demon, walked confidently out of the ring, leaving his opponent still smeared against the wall.
Kuwabara: speechless O.O'''' Holy Jesus...Remind me not to get Hiei mad...
"It was over in a flash," Kurama said looking calmly relieved, at the spot where Zeru's body was burned into the wall.
Lisa's POV
Suddenly, something went wrong. I smelt smoke and looked over to where the hall of fame wall is and saw that there a tiny black flame remaining on the grass. It burnt the grasses around it, adding its fuel to live. It burned more and grew bigger and wider. Black flame rose into the air forming into a dragon shape. What looks like its head turned to us, roaring a wild blaze, it flew upwards.
Koto: What this!? Something seem reforming, can it be Zeru is coming back?
Kuwabara: Ahh…Hiei is this supposes to happen?
Hiei: How should I know! You, impedes oaf?
Kuwabara: Maybe we can outrun it and trick it into slamming itself into the wall and disappear?
Me: There was probably no running from this dragon. Like Hiei said it has a mind of it own and would probably chase the victim to their death.
Kuwabara: Oh my god! I will eat my own toothpaste if that happens to me! Hiei, this is your entire fault!
Hiei: Hn... You might be the next meal for the dragon if you don't shut up the hell!
Kurama: Hiei, this is not the time to argue.
I continue to ignore them bricking behind my back. I have more important thing to worry about. Like how to stop this freaking dragon from killing us! Think Lisa, think!
Me: Where is a water hose when you really need one!
Botan: I wish it would just rain! Since it's an open-space stadium, it could soak out the dragon or at least weaken it.
'That right! All I have to do is bring in some rain and fast!' I snapped out of my thought as Kuwabara shouted, "Everyone run for your lives!"
The audience went wild as the black dragon did some somersault in the air, firing up the temperature. Letting out a roar, it searches the ground, looking for its master, Hiei. The one, who dared to summon him from its slumber in the Demon World.
The dragon breathes out a steam of blaze as soon as it saw him, among some other beings. To test whether this demon that lied below it, deserve to use its power. It must put him into a trail of his life. If he lives then he may have the power, but if he loses, he dies.
With that final thought, the dragon open it mouth open at the team, charging to them at full speed.
Hiei frowned. Kurama held his ground, being the smart one, trying to think a way to escape. Kuwabara screamed bloody murder while Botan waved her arm like a chicken, hoping to live.
I flipped through a book of spells, hoping for strong water one but found none.
In frustration, I trash the book and face the incoming dragon. 'I didn't know how this part got mixed up but I have to fix it! I can't It end like this!'
Hiei: 'My right arm is still in a lot of pain. All my fire attack will just be added to its power. My sword is useless in this field. How could something like this happen?!
Kurama (looked over to Hiei): 'Judging by his face, I don't think Hiei know something like this could occur. We better seek shelter fast!'
Botan & Kuwabara (in panic mode): 'I don't want to die!'
Yusuke: 'Snooze…'
"Stand back guys, I think I knew how fight or at least weaken it." I said stepping up from the group, hoping they have sense to escape while I distract the dragon.
Kurama: Are you sure Lisa?
Kuwabara: This is the dragon of the Blackest Flame! How could you stand a chance!?
"I have my luck on my side. Now go and seek shelter." I powered up created a power surge around me. "Or else I blast you away as well." Giving them a serious glare as a warning, I turned and walk forward.
Above this chaos, the clouds darken continuously with thunder and lighting coming to its wake.
Koto: I know that I suppose to stay but I just get further away here incase I lost live.
Kurama: Come on, we should move!
Botan: But Lisa…she…
Kuwabara picked up Yusuke and turned to Botan, "She said she could do it…whatever she planning to do. Now let's get out of here!"
Botan nodded and the group fled off to a distance further away from the location.
Back to the memo fight, Lisa dueling it out with the black fire dragon.
"Now it's just you and me, black dragon!" I cried out, feeling my energy rising to the peak.
Dragon titled it head; it wanted to test the black haired youkai but it wouldn't mind a free snack. Opening it flames, the dragon attacked.
'Think water, imagine the water dragon cut screen from 'God save our king' Yes that will do! Now for the action!'
"Water dragons come to my aid!" There suddenly a flash of thunder, blinding everything. When it cleared, the black dragon was warped between two blue shining water dragons.
With a sudden squash, the black fire dragon roared as it was put out while the water dragons evaporated along with it.
Kuwabara: Did you saw that!
Botan: Yes…but how
Kurama: Lisa may have those powers under her sleeve all this time but never mind that! Let's see if she okay!
On the field, Lisa was gasping for breath. It cost her lots of energy to bring out those dragons from the clouds but she did it. Thank god. 'Maybe I should have my own dragon attack; I will call it' The Dragon of the Darkest…Chocolate'...hahaha…om funny!'
Then the super aid team come to the rescue, Kurama went up to Lisa first, "Are you alright?"
Back to normal POV
Lisa: Yeah, but I think I need a little nap…zzz…zzz
Kuwabara: Please don't tell me, she just has fallen asleep!
Kurama: She just needs her rest to cover back her energy. It seems we have to continue the match without her.
Kuwabara: Just great! Now we have two sleeping beauty on our team.
Lisa: …Say that again Kuwabara and I will funking murder you….
Kuwabara: (Looked uneasy)
Hiei: Heh, Even in her sleep, she can hear us.
Botan: I best will be taking her off your hands and try to heal her.
Botan popped Lisa on her shoulder and carry her off the sideline.
Kuwabara: Now finally the weather goes back to normal.
Koto: Well it's seemed everything is back to normal and the tournament continues on!
"That's enough for us. We want out!!" one guys from the opponent team said freaking out.
"We came to kill for fun…an' fun this ain't!!" the other finished as they both began to run for their lives. They didn't manage to get far however before a blur came up and their heads were sent flying through the air.
Blood spurted out of their necks as their useless bodies feel to the ground and a big pair of feet to land on the ground of the ring. A steak of strong alcohol is also flowing from it.
