Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files Love Story – Beauty of a Rose (by Tayla Drago)
Chapter 7
'An old Enemy has returned!'
As Kuwabara was feeling better since his Yukina went back home to find her brother 'being Hiei', Botan keeps Yusuke in check to spend more time with Kayko all day today. And so, he does. From clothes shopping and walking around the city. With Kuwabara doing the same, along with Ami returning after food shopping to Genkai's place in seconds to keep walking around town, it seems all was good. Well, not for Botan, Koenma, and George soon getting a shocking video tape to show what happened when Yusuke and the others rescue Yukina in Tarukane's mansion…
Ah! The Toguro Brothers are still alive, for their deaths were a set up and working for Sakyo 'who's now rich' the entire time! Good thing Yukina doesn't matter to them anymore, but killing Tarukane by picking his head off his body was! Wow! Well, he's way dead there. With that shown a few weeks later and too late during the last case, this was serious here!
Looks like Younger Toguro pays Yusuke a visit in town after destroying half of the building. For he follows the demon somewhere away from the people and Kayko; as Kuwabara, Ami, even both Kurama and Hiei see this to follow the two as well. What does he want from the hero…? As they talk in an enemy parking lot building to tell him about the rematch he wishes to have with him; if not he will kill all that he cares for in seconds for he powers up even higher to destroy the entire building in seconds to only save Yusuke 'for one time only', this brings fear before his very eyes. For Toguro will be facing Yusuke off in a five team Dark Tournament on Hanging Neck Island, for humans and demons in the Human World will face off – for the Black Black Club to place bets in winning lots of money, demons to watch the blood to care less about the humans, and can win anything for a wish to come true. It'll begin within two months for Yusuke to train for it with four more teams joining in.
Toguro will wait for Yusuke until then as he leaves him being. For Kuwabara will join 'for he was freaking out to be seeing this', same with Kurama and Hiei to be joining too, Ami knows him a lot more for some reason to stand in his way. Ami then stands next to Toguro for he senses something familiar to him coming from her Spirit Energy, for she had a feeling that Younger and Elder Toguro were still alive.
"You a friend of Yusuke?"
"That was a very impressive little show you three put on. Your older brother, Sakyo, and yourself."
"You're one of Koenma's dogs." Younger Toguro calmly sneered. "But I'm impress. You are a very smart lady."
Ami shrugged. "It wasn't hard. I know that you are being Younger Toguro of the Toguro Brothers doesn't have interest in money only in a good fight. Am I right?"
The younger Toguro looked at Ami blankly. "Who are you?"
Seems that Ami knows a lot more of Younger Toguro, but how…?
"I should probably introduce myself. My name is Ami Sakkara. You must've invited Yusuke and the others to the Dark Tournament, aren't you? I know Yusuke must interest you, Toguro." Ami smiled.
"That doesn't explain how you know about me?"
She then mentions Genkai's name to Toguro to knowing her a lot more.
"I figured Genkai never told you." Ami notices Younger Toguro stiffen slightly at the name. "You'll find out everything at the Dark Tournament. I'll see you there."
Young Toguro then leaves to know more about Ami later.
"Very well, until then we'll talk some more, Ami."
Ami turns and left the building leave the muscling demon very confused. Ami decided it would be better to wait before she told Toguro why she knew about him until then, for Genkai wanted her to do that. For you see - this was going to be interesting…It was time for a two-month training for the five fighters as Koenma sets up the whole thing on his end as their captain of Team Urameshi!
As Yusuke begs Genkai to train him hard again, for she does…From being chained from his legs to climbing up the cliff to get use to her punches to his stomach. Kuwabara gets train hard for Kurama and Hiei to aid him; along with Ami moving hard all over the place from training a lot to be powering up and moving fast to do well as the fifth member of the team and one more as a sub should be all good to go. As the two months pass by, the day has finally come at last…
'Dark Tournament Day.'
Two months had passed since Ami spent her time alone training. Genkai was busy training Yusuke, Kurama was training Kuwabara and who knows where Hiei was. Ami thought it would be easier to train herself and besides she wanted to keep her brand-new attacks to gain. It would be fun to surprise the gang. There was one problem though, each team had to have five team members and one alternate fighter, and she was one person short. Yusuke was supposed to be getting the extra fighter. Now those two months were up and the day of the Dark Tournament arrived. It was to take place on a remote island called Hanging Neck Island.
Ami was in a forest near the water with Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara were waiting for Yusuke and the sixth fighter to show up along with the boat that was taking them to the island. The four were surrounded by many different demons and many of them were looking at the group with hungry eyes. They then heard a few mumbles something about wanting to eat the humans. Ami played with her bracelet while waiting for any of them to try and make a move. For she was wearing a Chun-Li looks with the shorts of a grey outfit, her hair up a bit with a ponytail, her bracelets of two with spikes on her wrists, long white shoes on, and she was all ready to go. It's the style of Chun-Li's clothing from the Anime Series Street Fighters 2 V.
"This isn't starting well." Kuwabara complained with his arms crossed. "Urameshi's late."
"Never mind all that. Are you ready?" Hiei asked glancing at Kuwabara.
"Me? You bet! Kurama's helped me shape up!" Kuwabara flexed his arm like it was going to impress any of them at all. "(I can win this! And when I do, Yukina and I will be together forever.)" Kuwabara will do anything to win over Yukina. Oh, boy…
Kurama sweat dropped at Kuwabara and then turned to Ami. "How did your training go, Ami?"
She smiles at him. "It went great. I can't wait for the tournament to start so I can try out some of my new moves."
A large ship pulls up and a short man stepped off the ship. He had an eye patch, a hook hand and a peg leg calling himself the Captain. Really…? Okay, what an odd person who calls himself just Captain.
"All aboard, everybody. Time to go."
"Hold it!" Kuwabara spoke up. "One guest isn't here yet!"
"Yeah? Rule say yer late, yer a refuser." The captain replied. "We'll send assassins to deal with him."
"No need for that." A voice called out from behind. They all turn around and saw Yusuke walking out of the forest with a short fighter by his side that came up to a little under his waist. The fighters face was covered hiding their identity. Ami smiled faintly recognizing the outfit they had on and knowing exactly who the Masked Fighter was. "Sorry to hold up the party." Yusuke said to making here in time.
"Where have you been, Urameshi?" Kuwabara shouted.
The others heard many of the demons' mumble around them at the sound of Yusuke's name. It seemed many of them wanted to be the ones to take Yusuke down.
Yusuke stepped forward. "I'm stiff and sore all over!"
Ami smirked. "You should have known that my Grandmother would never go easy on you."
Hiei looked at Yusuke. "Yusuke."
Suddenly Hiei drew his sword and slashed at Yusuke. Yusuke quickly dropped his bag and dodged out of the way. Hiei continued to slash at Yusuke, but Yusuke dodged every slash. Many of the demons were looking at the two confused.
"They're moving so…so fast I almost…can't follow." Kuwabara stuttered staring at the two shocked.
Yusuke grabbed the flat sides of Hiei's sword. "Nice to see you too, Hiei." Yusuke let go of the sword.
Hiei sheathed his sword. "I don't know how you did it, but your skills are almost adequate."
"Huh? 'Almost adequate'? I couldn't move like that in a million years." Kuwabara complained.
"Don't sweat it." Kurama said. "You did follow their moves. Which shows you've progressed."
Ami looked over at the Masked Fighter and smirked. "So, this is our sixth member? Anyone's better than nothing to have I guess."
Kuwabara glanced over at the fighter. "Someone shorter then Hiei?! I can barely see him!" Ami had to stop herself from laughing. Kuwabara was probably going to pay for it later. "If I sneezed I'd blow him clear to Mars!"
"Let's just say for a sixth, we could do worse." Yusuke said.
"That so? I dunno." Kuwabara didn't seem convinced.
"Don't complain, Kuwabara." Ami said while titling her head towards the boat. "We got to get going." The group agreed as they got onto the boat along with all the other demons.
"Up anchor!" The captain yelled and the ship was off. "Two hours to Hanging Neck Island."
And here they go! As Koenma goes there too with George tagging along…Botan was corner by both Kayko and Shizuru to demand to know where Kuwabara and Yusuke were; so, she told them everything for them to finally know the truth and what's been going on as well to go with her and watch. With a group of freak demons, huh? Those two are brave so now Botan has no other choice. Anyways, with Koenma keeping things in check Team Urameshi was good to go! Yusuke, Ami, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama, and the sub fighter just in case the Masked Fighter to the Dark Tournament! Oh, boy. Who could the mysterious fighter be…? :D
Anyways, Ami stood at the railing with the others watching the water. "Hey Kurama?"
Kurama was leaning on the rail next to her. He turned to look at Ami. "Yes, Ami?"
"I was just thinking we're both going to be away from school for a while," Ami smirked, "I wonder if anyone will find it fishy that we're both gone at the same time."
Kurama chuckled. "I suppose they would think so."
"It's going to be interesting when we get back."
"Your attention, please!" The captain announced for everyone to look at the captain who was on a platform. "This is no pleasure cruise! We'll conduct tournament preliminaries on this ship," he paused, "starting now!" A loud rumbling and the middle of the ship opened and an arena came up from the floor.
"An earthquake!" Kuwabara panicked.
"Idiot! There are no earthquakes in the waters!" Hiei corrected Kuwabara.
A large arena came up from the floor of the boat causing many of the demons on the ship to yell in surprise quickly moving out of the way so they wouldn't get hit with the arena.
"Sixteen teams will complete in the Dark Tournament! Fifteen are waiting on Hangman Island!" The captain explained. "One team from this ship will fill the sixteenth slot!"
"No one told us about this." Kuwabara complained. "I thought we would have dancing, foods, and the pretty girls…" Kuwabara looks at Ami's outfit. "Ah, Ami, what are you wearing?"
Ami gave him the glare thinking he'll be hitting on her again.
"Watch it! My Grandma made me this!"
Kuwabara tries calming Ami down, for she had the wrong idea.
"Hey! Hey! I get it! At least it's not too revealing! And I love Yukina, remember? We can still be friends; I am a man of honor to any girls."
"Oh, how thoughtful of you." Ami was being silly in saying that.
Kurama couldn't look away from Ami, for Hiei looked like he didn't care.
"As if it's almost too revealing enough." Hiei said.
"Don't say that, Hiei, I think she looks cute in it."
Hiei could already tell that Kurama likes Ami already.
The captain continued. "Each team will pick its strongest member," he paused, "and these will vie for participation in the tournament!" A demon from every team stepped up to fight.
"A battle royal?! In those it isn't always the strongest that comes up on top!" Kuwabara clutches his fist. "Urameshi, there all yours."
But they heard a faint snoring and turned to look. Ami then smirks at what she saw. "I don't think that's going to happen, Kuwabara."
Kuwabara whipped around. "Urameshi!" Kuwabara grabbed the sleeping teen. "How can you sleep?! You're team captain! C'mon! Wake up!" Yusuke didn't wake from his slumber.
"That can happen after extreme training." Kurama explained. "He's fallen into deep sleep to restore strength and aura."
"Say what?!" Kuwabara dropped Yusuke and looked over at Kurama. "Then who's going up there?!" The Masked Fighter stepped forward surprising Kuwabara.
Hiei smirked. "Guess that's settled. He's going. At least we'll get to see what he can do."
"What if he loses?!" Kuwabara complained. "I don't think losing teams just go home!"
"Probably right. We might have to kill everyone aboard so there'll be no one left to complain." Hiei commented.
The Masked Fighter stepped into the ring with the other demons. To Ami, she kind of spaced out and looked back out at the ocean; for she knew there was no chance that the Masked Fighter would lose. Ami heard the Masked Fighter finish off the demons and walk back over to the group. Of course, the other demons weren't happy about that and charged at the group.
"Hello girly." Ami looked over her shoulder. Five demons were standing behind her. The demon in the middle licked his lips. "You look delicious."
Ami yawned. "How boring."
The demons glared at her. "Now you die!" Ami stood still as the five jumped at her. The railing shot out suddenly from under her hands and sliced though the demons being her own scythe of her Reikai power she made in seconds to slice and dice the demons.
The railing slid back into place and Ami yawns again. "Boring." She glances around and saw that the others were holding their all against the demons even the unconscious Yusuke, for he sends one of them flying to the sea. He fought in his sleep there.
Leaving Kuwabara and Hiei to cutting the rest down with their swords and Kurama with his new attack, the Rose Whip Thorn Wheel, sweet. They won. Soon all the enemy demons, besides the captain, were dead. The boat drew close to Hanging Neck Island. The gang walked off the boat and was picked up by a car that drove the group to the hotel. The group walked into the hotel and was surprised. The inside looked like a five-star hotel and was filled with rich humans.
Kuwabara blinked in surprise. "Pretty ritzy joint. What gives?"
Ami glanced around the place. "Most teams of the Dark Tournament are sponsored by wealthy humans who enjoy watching this blood and gore, but the thing they really want is for their team to win so they can have the grand prize and get whatever they want."
A butler walked up to the group. "Welcome, honored guests. Let me show you to your room." The butler leads you though the rich humans to the elevator as Ami passed her heard many mumbles about the team, but she of course ignored them. The butler showed their rooms and left saying that the waiter would be up soon. The five, with Yusuke was still asleep; everyone gets comfortable in their rooms. Kuwabara was sitting on the bed in the room with Yusuke laying asleep behind him, Hiei was standing by the window and Ami, Kurama and the Masked Fighter sat on the L shaped couch in that order. A waiter came in soon after with six cups of tea. He put them on the table and left.
"This stuff isn't poisoned, is it?" Kuwabara asked glaring at the cups. The Masked Fighter silently picked up a cup.
Ami took one of the cups. "I doubt it."
"She's right, Kuwabara." Kurama added picking up another cup. "The tournament's all about maximum combat, so they want every contender at peak potential."
"The hosts are especially interested in seeing us in action before we're torn limb by limb…" Hiei commented taking his cup.
"Well it never hurts to be careful. I'll stick to my own beverage, thanks." Kuwabara took out a can from his bag; it said energy drink Pierre Taki 'some type of Pepsi'. Guess he doesn't want to take any chances with his. Ami smiled, but it soon faded as she senses something odd.
Kurama noticed. "Are you all right, Ami?"
"I sense something." Ami glanced at the table. "There's a cup missing."
Kuwabara looked confused. "There's six of us and six cups. I haven't taken one…"
"She's right. Yusuke's still asleep…"
Kuwabara cut Kurama off. "But his cup is gone!" Suddenly a slurping sound cut though the building silence. They all looked over and saw someone sitting on the dresser with the cup in his hand. How did he get in here without any of them seeing him?
The team stared at the person sitting on the dresser with the missing cup of tea. The person was a young boy about eleven years old with three stars under his left eye. His pink and yellow stripped hat rested sideways on his head casting a shadow over the top of his eyes. His long sleeved yellow shirt was covered with a pink vest and the sleeves almost covered his hands. His jeans were also big on him as well. Slumped next to him was a small green bag that hung across his torso. He slurped down the rest of the tea.
"Weird…" said Ami.
"Hey!" Kuwabara yelled. "Who's that?! How'd he get in here?! He must've been hiding someplace."
"Then came out and took the cup without us noticing." Kurama added.
"But wouldn't one of us sense something." Ami argued. "I didn't feel anything out of place until a few minutes ago."
"She's right." The boy interjected balancing the cup on his sneaker. "I came though the front door like you did. Forgot to knock though." He took his hat off. "Allow me to introduce myself, Rinku, of Team Rokuyukai. My crew and I will be your opponents in the first-round tomorrow." Rinku put his hat back on and started to ramble on about how strong his team was, but Ami ignores it. She drinks her tea tuning out the noise around her, she was almost too good. Demons loved to make people nerve before a fight so they'll be distracted.
"That will do, Rinku." A voice cut in. The others glance over at the door and saw another demon, with blonde spike hair, leaning on the closed door. His black short sleeve shirt showed his muscular arms.
"Another lurker!" Kuwabara was sweating nervously. "He wasn't there before, I'm sure of it!"
"No duh, Kuwabara." Ami said sarcastically. She notices Hiei glaring at the new demon. Maybe he was angry that he hadn't sensed him.
Rinku bounced over to the demon. "Sorry, Zeru! Got carried away! This tournament stuff is just so exciting!"
"Enjoy your evening. By this time tomorrow," Zeru paused, "you'll be like that cup." Zeru and Rinku walked out of the room. The second the door closed one of the empty cups on the table split in two.
"When did that happen?!" Kuwabara gasped. Ami took a closer look and saw how Zeru could split the cup. But she couldn't help but smirked. This was going to be an interesting tournament.
Kurama notices her expression. "What is it, Ami?" The rest of the team, expect of course the still sleeping Yusuke, looked over at her.
Ami then smiles and looks up at them. "I'm just excited! This is going to be a fun tournament!"
Kuwabara's jaw dropped. "How can you find this fun?!"
Ami just tilted her head to the side slightly. "Why not? What's more fun than fighting an interesting foe? One that doesn't have a hundred percent chance of victory." Kuwabara was still gaping at her.
Kurama smiled. "You'll get used to that, Kuwabara. Ami is someone that likes to have a good fight."
Ami nodded. "Yep." She yawns. "I think we should all take a lesson from Yusuke and get to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long and we can't have Kuwabara losing because he's tired."
"Hey!" Kuwabara yelled.
Ami laughs, Kurama bit his thumb to stop from laughing, and Hiei and the Masked Fighter stayed silent.
"Ami is right. We should go to bed." Kurama agreed.
Their hotel room had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Yusuke, Kuwabara, the Masked Fighter and Hiei stayed in main room that had three beds, Hiei sat on the windowsill and wouldn't move, so that left Ami to share the other room with Kurama. She would have insisted on sharing with the Masked Fighter, but that would have made the other suspicious and she didn't want to reveal the Masked Fighters identity before they wanted it to be revealed. Everyone got ready for bed.
Ami climbed into her bed. "Night, guys!" Ami yelled. Kurama and Kuwabara answered, Hiei grunted while Yusuke and Masked Fighter were silent.
'Round one – Team Urameshi vs. Team Rokuyukai!'
This is it! As well as Koenma in his true teenage form to getting in the place for VIP – as George, Botan, Shizuru, and Kayko were all right getting in and watch the fight. Along with Younger and Elder Toguro, Sakyo with the other Black Black Club members placing the bets 'to think that Yusuke killed Tarukane, but he didn't like Gondawara' and the other two members of Team Toguro – Bui a giant armor fighter and Karasu for anyone or thing he touches blows up. Oh, boy…For today was the start of the Dark Tournament that was known for its bloody fights and ruthless killings. A cat or foxlike demon name Koto 'I like her' stood in the fighting arena addressing the cheering crowd filled with low class demons. Hidden away in the boxes away from the fighting and the demons were the rich humans that hosted the teams and placed bets on who will be slaughter.
"Morning, everyone!" Koto yelled to the crowd. "You ready for some unholy mayhem?! I declare the Dark Tournament officially underway!"
The demons cheered. The opposing team, the Team Rokuyukai, walked out to the arena. The team consisted on Rinku and Zeru along with three other members Roto, Gaou, and Imajin. The good team enters from the other side of the arena, Kuwabara carrying a still slumbering Yusuke over his shoulder. As Ami ignores the screams and insults from the demons. However, she couldn't help, but hear a few of them 'some male demons were hitting on her'. This is going to be one hell of a tournament to be going down.
"Hiei! Kurama! Human-loving bastards!"
"No way are you coming out alive!"
"Traitors! Hope they chew you up and spit you out!"
Too many complaints from the demons, give me a break.
"Friendly bunch," Kuwabara grunted, "guess they have to vent on somebody."
"Calling us traitors? If they weren't such lowlifes, I'd take offense." Kurama commented sighing.
Ami glances at the demon audience. "They chant like that because they are too weak to fight us themselves so they want someone else to do it. Pathetic."
"Teams, to the center!" Koto yelled. Both teams jumped onto the arena and stood facing one another. Yusuke was snoring loudly which wasn't helping the team's image at all. "The team captains will decide the mode of battle and what constitutes a win." Koto explained. "If they're unable to agree, house rules stipulate each member fight one-on-one. The team with the most victories takes the match."
"The captain?" Kuwabara questioned glancing at Yusuke sleeping on his shoulder. "Urameshi's still out."
"Then it's your office, Kuwabara." Kurama commented taking Yusuke from Kuwabara's shoulder.
"Say what? Me?" Kuwabara got a cheesy smile on his face and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm flattered! It means being Urameshi's second, but what the heck?! I'll show them leader ship!"
Ami sweat drop. "Well as long as it doesn't go to your head or anything, Kuwabara." Kuwabara ignores her as he glared off with Zeru.
"Not that it matters, but I'm for one-on-one." Zeru said with no emotion on his face. "It prolongs the fun."
"Sounds good to me!" Kuwabara clutched his fist in front of him. "It's a real man's way to fight!" Kuwabara turned and took Yusuke back from Kurama.
"It's been decided, five one-on-one matches!" Koto yelled gaining cheers and more yelling from the audience. Suddenly Zeru released his fire-like aura at Kuwabara and Yusuke.
"His aura's hot as an oven!" Kuwabara complained. "It's obvious he's trying to provoke Urameshi!" Leaving Ami to glance over at Zeru. He was out to kill. "Rise and shine, Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled in Yusuke's face, but Yusuke didn't even flinch. Zeru retracted his aura and the two teams stepped off the arena on their sides. Kuwabara rested Yusuke up against the side of the arena.
"First contenders, on the field!" Koto yelled.
"Check you later, guys!" Rinku said with a large smile as he hopped up onto the arena ready for a fight.
"I'll take this one!" Kuwabara said confidently jumping into the arena.
The audience chanted things like 'Kill him', 'Rip him to shreds'.
"In one-on-one the rules are," Koto paused, "anything goes! A count of ten will determine out-of-bounds and knockdowns."
Looks like it's the first fight here, Kuwabara vs. Rinku.
"Well, here goes." Rinku smiled.
"Begin!" Koto yelled back to give the two fighters some room.
"Okay shrimp, bring it!" Kuwabara yelled smirking.
Ami sighed. "He's underestimating his opponent. That will cause him trouble if he doesn't smarten up quickly."
"I guess there's no hope then." Hiei commented.
"You got it!" Rinku yelled. Ami looked back at the fight. Rinku was jumping around Kuwabara causing many after images of himself.
"Rinku displays amazing agility! I, Koto, your commentator, can barely follow him!"
"This isn't going to be an easy fight for Kuwabara, but it will help him learn. It's going to be a hard lesson for him." Ami commented watching the fight with great interest. "Show us if all your training has paid off."
Kuwabara faces off with Rinku alright to being a show off too. From moving so fast of lots of him all over the place, Kuwabara punches him hard, to the demon kid kicking him to the face. Almost down he hits Rinku back and using his Double Spirit Sword being two to use on him 'not bad for training so hard'; as the girls were happy to see the fight was going so well for Rinku to fight back with his powerful skills with Yo-Yo's filled with Spirit Energy call the Serpent Yo-Yo's. Fast, strong, quickly, and bites hard to hitting Kuwabara like being attacked from real snakes. Not good. Not even Kuwabara making the battle floor as his shield won't work to soon being tied up and thrown up to the air to being drop down hard like a kite.
Also…Botan will be Team Urameshi's support team of healing as Koenma, George, Kayko, and Shizuru continue watching the fight on their ends. It looks like from Kayko's slapping and Shizuru's fighting skills against the demons, they'll be fine. Rinku keeps on throwing Kuwabara up and down, but he uses his Long Spirit Sword to reach to Rinku to getting stabbed right in the chest; though freeing Kuwabara from the strings causes them to both to fall out of the ring. Oh, boy…Come on, Kuwabara! Get up!
"They knocked each other out cold and out of bonds!" Koto yelled. "The count begins on each, now! They each took clean hits. This might end in a draw." Kurama commented. "1! 2!" Koto paused as a hand reaches up to the arena and pulls himself up.
"Yeah! Rinku's back up!" The demons cheered as Koto kept counting for Kuwabara.
Rinku started healing the wound on his chest and mumbling to himself, he is wasting his energy to fighting back more...Suddenly Kuwabara got his knees with the yo-yos still wrapped around his body. Hey! That's cheating…! I think! Also, Yusuke call Kuwabara something in his sleep to be wasting his time getting back in the ring more.
Rinku yelped. "The human's up, too! What's he made of?!" Rinku reached out his hands and the yo-yo's knocked Kuwabara to the ground as Koto got to ten.
One lost for Team Urameshi in the first round there.
"Who cares?! I can still fight!" Kuwabara yelled jumping up onto his feet. Rinku looked a little freaked out.
"It looks like we lose this one." Ami commented glancing at the scoreboard.
"Hey, you!" Kuwabara pointed at Rinku. "We'll settle this later!"
"Not likely, dude." Rinku hopped off the arena going over to his team's side to work on his wound.
What a shame for Rinku for the demons to bad mouth him to being chicken out for the other team to getting a bit mad at him. I'm surprise Kuwabara can still fight back, as Hiei, Kurama, and Ami sees how much he has gotten stronger to hopefully do better next time as the Masked Fighter and Botan watch the fight and Yusuke still sleeping somewhere safe. This was only the beginning of the first round for Team Urameshi to do and who will fight in the next round. More to see next time…
