This one is another Fem!Hiei mini story. It's about when Hiei goes against Zeru in the Dark Tournament. Enjoy!
"Third member, come forward!" Koto, the fox girl announcer, peated to both teams. Lots of commotion was made by the crowd when Zeru walked into the ring.
"Zeru! Then, isn't he the captain?" Kurama said in his shock.
"So then, the other two are even stronger?" Kuwabara was flabbergasted.
"No." Hiei said causing Kurama and Kuwabara to look at her. "There's no mistake, he's the strongest among them. But knowing that ridiculous bunch, they probably chose their order as they saw fit."
"Urameshi team, your third challenger!" Koto warned the guest team.
"I'll go. After all, he made a fool out of us yesterday." Hiei volunteered while recalling last night's events with the apposing team. She walked into the ring and stopped about 4 yards across from Zeru.
"Rokuyukai team, Zeru!" Koto stated loudly into the microphone. "Urameshi team, Hiei!" Their information and picture came up on the screen above the audience. Curses and support for Zeru rained from the stands.
"Your Demon Energy of fire...You're a user of flame techniques? I saw the cut you made in the cup you broke!" Hiei said to Zeru. "It looked as though you had cut it with a sharp blade, but the edges were slightly melted. Your technique is pretty rough, huh?"
"So what of it? It's no business of a Jagan master who can't figure out their gender." Zeru responded causing Hiei to scowl.
"Begin!" Koto said as she stepped out of the way. Zeru released lots of his demon energy in the form of wild orange yellowish flames licking at Hiei's petite frame. A scream erupted from Koto as she backed out to the edge of the ring the flames almost reaching her. Hiei looked at her opponent in unfazed silence.
"What's that look on your mug for?!" Zeru raised his voice slightly in fiery but calm anger. The flames stretched out to the sky, most of the ring and the audience. Hiei stood in her same spot, still not moving.
"I'm going to turn you to charcoal dust!" Zeru stated while forming a ball of fire in his hand. The ball exploded into a thick sideways pillar and was headed straight for Hiei. She stared at his attack with a false emotion in her eyes as she dodged.
"Ah! Hiei has skillfully avoided Contestant Zeru's spectral fireball!" Koto announced on que. Koto let out another quick cry as Hiei dodges a series of fire attacks from Zeru. Hiei landed softly onto the tiles of the ring. Zeru gave a chuckle at her.
"No sooner are we underway than Contestant Zeru launches a staggering attack! Hiei is completely on the defensive." Koto said in her excitement.
"How was that? You must be speechless." Zeru said while forming another fireball. "A rat like you couldn't put together this kind of Demon Energy in your whole life!"
"Enough talk! Come on!" Hiei enticed Zeru.
"I'm done playing games!" As Zeru said this, he increased his Demon Energy making it shoot up into the sky in a large blaze. Hiei's gaze didn't falter. Zeru covered his left fist with his right hand and absorbed the huge amount of Demon Energy he released causing his body to glow a pronounced red. Hiei remains calm on the surface.
"It's red! Red, as if he were aflame!" Koto exclaimed. Zeru's transformation marveled the stands and made a smirk tug at Hiei's face. A bloodlust coated battle cry poured out of Zeru as he lunges towards Hiei. His right hand pierces her midsection causing a pained expression to plaster onto Hiei's face. Zeru proceeds to engulf her in flames and throw her in the air. Zeru chuckles.
"Now I'll finish you off!" Zeru rips out another battle cry as he sends a powerful blast to Hiei's airborn figure landing a direct hit. Hiei lets out a pained scream with the impact, and Zeru smiles at her pain.
"Incredible! Contestant Zeru is on a whole different level!" Koto said, excited about the violence. Team Urameshi stared at Hiei's burning body still in midair.
"She was beaten that easily?" Kuwabara exclaimed. The audience stared in awe at the still falling burning body.
"Before such force, a hush falls upon the spectators..." Koto comments.
"H-Has she lost?" Keiko questioned.
"If only losing was all she was doing..." Shizuru said while her eyes softened. Hiei landed with a light thump onto the ring. Zeru snorted at Hiei's form.
"How dull! She was no match for me." Zeru scowled as he started to walk away.
"This contest has been decided all at once!" Koto updated the crowd. "This match goes to the Roku-" She's interrupted by a person rising from the dead.
"Yes, your skill is nice." Hiei said while getting back up from a pile of flames. "So much so that it would be a shame to kill you." Looking back, Koto witnessed Hiei standing there with flames running on her and a smirk on her face. The whole stadium was consumed in shock.
"T-The match is not over yet!" Koto corrected herself. "Hiei is demonstrating astonishing staying power!"
"Your Demon Energy can withstand my spectral flames?" Zeru voiced his disbelief. "Impossible!"
"Your luck diminished when you went up against me." Hiei stated as her Jagan eye burned through it's white cover. "Rejoice! You are truly the first victim of the in the Human Realm!" The Jagan eye shown with a great amount of light as Zeru gasped. The light surrounded her body. She held out her palm as a shadow like flame with a base of light generated in her palm.
"B-Black Flames!" Zeru stuttered in horror. "You mean you've called up the flames of the Demon Realm?!" Dark flashing rays came from all directions from the outside environment causing the ocean to bubble and the sky to darken.
"The rules are that I just have to defeat you. However, right now, I can't completely control this myself." Hiei calmly stated with the energy in her hand to spark and shake. Rocks on the water exploded from the black lightening.
"Sorry, but I can't hold back. If I could, I would have liked to let you live." Another gasp escaped Zeru's throat, more prominent than the last. "Using my right arm would be plenty." Dark wisps of black flames rose of the ground as she spoke. "Do you see the delicate difference now between how you just play with fire, and a truly demon laden flame technique?! Do not look down on the power of the Jagan!" The black shadow flames quickly rose higher and spread wider almost reaching Koto.
"T-This is getting too dangerous!" Koto shrieked. "Although I am reluctant to do so as your commentator, I am going to take refuge momentarily!" She hopped out of the ring and landed safely on the grass.
"Take this!" Hiei shouted. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame!" A swift pillar of shadows with the head of a dragon emerged from Hiei's arm. The dragon moved wildly as it collided with Zeru smashing him into the stadium wall. The dragon dispersed along with the dark flames. Koto checked for the coast to be clear before jumping back up on the ring.
"Contestant Zeru is..." Koto gave out a small cry. "T-The wall!"
"I don't believe it!" One of team Roruyukai's members said.
"So then, the count..." Koto began.
"I burned up everything there was. The only thing left of him in this world is that silhouette." Hiei said without a care in the human world.
"There isn't much of a need of a count then." Koto said. "The winner is Hiei!" A stunned audience was left in the wake of the winner announcement. Zeru's picture darkened so much that you almost can't tell his picture was even there in the first place on the screen. Both pictures were replaced by 2-1.
"That's what you get! That's a load off! Now it's 2 to 1!" Kuwabara's shout was glazed with excitement. "Or that's what I'd like to say, but that's not the way I feel! I wouldn't be strange if Hiei were to turn against us a any time! On top of that, she's got that awesome technique!"
"Don't worry. Until this tournament ends, I'm staying on this side. And my Dragon of the Darkness Flame isn't perfected yet." Hiei said as she was walking towards the edge of the ring. A raging blush slapped onto Kuwabara'a face. Hiei looked at him with a confused face while Kurama looked at him with a slight smirk.
"What's wrong, Kuwabara? Your face is sporting a rather deep crimson." Kurama asked knowing exactly why the boy was blushing madly. A quivering finger pointed at Hiei.
"Why are you pointing at me, you pathetic fool?" Hiei said while her eyebrows furrowed.
"I think it's your absence of a shirt, or anything on your upper body for that matter, he is pointing to, Hiei." Kurama said to Hiei.
"Really, Hiei. You need to learn a thing or two about being modest." Boton lectured.
"Che." Hiei just walked over to the wall not wanting to hear anymore of this.
