oOo Last Time oOo

The rest of the day was spent peacefully. The Inu group met Koenma, Botan, Kieko, Kuwabara's sister, and Yukina. Miroku of course asked all the females to bear his children, which resulted in him being knocked out for a whole 10 seconds. The Inu group also took Kagome's suggestions they were given when introduced, Sango challenged Hiei and Shippo talked a lot with Kurama. Kagome also laughed manically which scared the guys as the girls were the only ones who were privy to the information that resulted in it. By the time the sun was setting everyone was making their way to their beds ready to face the next day.

Lumana's Team names

oOo Chapter 10 oOo

-Kurama- --Youko-- Xx Hiei xX

"Wakey, wakey eggs and bakey!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara fell out of bed, surprised at the yell coming from barley two feet away.

"Now that you boys are awake you can get dressed for our match and come have some breaky!"

The two boys groaned as Kagome skipped out the room but didn't dare disobey for fear she would come back and find more creative ways of getting them up and ready. They of course ate their food in a disgusting way, seeing as Kagome ignored them they had no fear of doing that at least.

"Fo ho e ighing toay?"

"We're fighting team Lumana today, tomorrow we get another day off and then we fight team Raiden."

"ow ou ow eam Raien ging ake i?"

"I just do ok? Geez, why can't you people just trust me when I saw there's a snowballs chance in hell team Raiden won't make the finals."

"ine."

"Good."

Kagome brought her wrist up and looked at the time. "We should head down there soon."

The others looked at her and nodded. They were quietly walking down the hallway when something Kagome said finally sunk into his brain.

"Wait, we have another day off tomorrow?"

"Mhmm."

"Weird, last year they put our matches as close together as they could."

"But this is year you have me and I'm special."

Kagome grinned at him until she heard him mumble "Ya, special ed". Luckily for Yusuke they had arrived and Kagome's attention was taken away from him.

"So how long do we have to wait 'fore we're called out?"

"Seeing as the fight is just ending I'll say around a minute or two."

Kagome huffed and sat down on the floor.

"I hate waiting."

Just as Kurama predicted a minute later they heard team Lumana being called and another minute later they were. Of course they were greeted by boo's but Kagome just happily waved at the people she knew and stuck her tongue out at the rest.

"First match! For team Lumana Kyatto and for team Urashima Hiei."

Kagome and Kurama held back Kuwabara as he wanted to go first.

The match went fairly quickly as Hiei was faster then the cat youkai and used fire attacks practically frying the neko.

"Second match! Kyouken VS Kuwabara."

Kagome eep'ed as she realized Kuwabara got away.

That match went quickly too. Seeing as the 'mad dog' was practically foaming at the mouth Kuwabara didn't want to get near it and his attacks were all close range. Unfortunately Kyouken's were long range and Kuwabara was easily beat.

"Third match! Hichou VS Yusuke."

Once again a quick match. Yusuke just shot the bird youkai out of the air (as well as putting some holes in the stadium roof).

"Fourth match! Koumori VS Kagome."

Kurama hesitated going up seeing the bat youkai, immediately thinking of Kourine so Kagome ran up and jumped into the ring. The group gapped at her but knew they couldn't get her out of the match now.

Kagome looked wearily at the bat opposite to her and brought out her bow and arrows, now was a good time as any to reveal that she was a miko. The bat smirked at her and took off the ground.

"Come on you pathetic human, I'll even give you a free shot."

Kagome glared at the taunting demon but was smirking.

"Your grave."

She notched an arrow, aimed, and pulled it back. She gave a rather sadist smirk before letting the arrow go. The demons eyes widened when he saw the glowing pink arrow coming towards him. He tried to move out of the way and did get out of the arrows way but the miko power surrounding it still got his wing which disintegrated making him fall back to the ring.

"Miko." He spat like it was poison (which for him it is).

"Demon." Kagome said back mockingly, hey, who ever said fighting couldn't be fun.

The demon got to its feet unsteadily and glared. Unfortunately for him, Kagome had already notched another arrow and said arrow was en route to his other wing. He screamed as his last wing disintegrated and his eyes bled red. Kagome blinked and wondered if maybe she should have just finished him off instead. She shrugged and walked over to the raging demon. She looked at him with a new respect as she stood in front of him. Even if he was complete defenseless right now, he was fighting his beast, not letting it take over him. She nodded to herself and hit a pressure point on his neck knocking him out. She waited until she was announced the winner before kneeling next to the demon and regenerating his wings. She looked towards his teammates and gave a small smile.

"Tell him when he wakes up he gained my respect and that it is a very good thing to have."

She hopped out of the arena and walked towards her group.

"Kagome?"

"Yes 'Suke?"

"Your arrows glowed."

"Yes 'Suke."

"And they turned his wings into dust."

"Yes 'Suke."

"And then you healed him with that glow."

"Yes 'Suke."

"…"

"My Yukina could've done better."

Kuwabara's comment snapped the rest of the males out of their shock ('though Hiei would never admit it) but Kagome was already skipping away.
