"Alright, boys and girl, I'm here. Now let's whip this team into shape," Botan said.
"Leave before you hurt yourself," Hiei said.
"Well that's a jolly thing to say to someone who's going to help you win, don't you think?" Botan asked.
"You mean you're the replacement fighter for Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked.
"No silly. In addition to co-spirit detective assistant and pilot of the River Styx, I'm a licensed trainer," Botan said. "I'll be looking after you all and making sure you're in tip-top shape for fighting." She slapped Yusuke to get him to wake up.
"None of that will work. The boy is determined," Hiei said.
"Second fight: Roto vs. Kurama. Begin!" Koto yelled.
"I know you've been spending years in the human world. We all do what we must, but I hope you didn't get attached to one of them," Roto said, transforming his arm into a blade. "For example, be mournful of death."
"What is your point?" Kurama asked. Roto attacked Kurama while the latter evaded every attack without a sweat and gracefully.
"He's clearly no match for Kurama, what a joke of a round," Hisaki said.
"It's a pity you couldn't have taken him and let Kurama deal with the little child with Yo-yos," Hiei said to Kuwabara.
"Hey! Watch it!" Kuwabara said. Kurama got behind Roto.
"Your skills weren't enough for this tournament, say your last words," Kurama said.
"I have your human mother, Kurama or should I say, Shuichi?" Roto said, slashing backwards. The shock was enough to make Kurama a fraction of a second late in dodging and get scratched on his face. "Let me introduce you to my little button. When I press it, a signal will be sent to my demon brother. He's been tracking your mother for some time you see and would love to bite her head off."
Hisaki turned around, walking calmly towards the entrance they came in a while ago.
"What are you doing, Hisaki? Something stupid, I presume?" Hiei asked, making her pause.
"You know me all too well, Hiei," Hisaki said, disappearing. She ran up to Koenma's VIP room entering.
"Hisaki!" Koenma said surprised.
"I need a portal to the Human world now," she demanded. "Kurama's human mother is in danger from a demon and I'd like permission to go kill it."
"Can you be back in less than 5 minutes?" Koenma asked.
"You underestimate me. Give me 2 from the moment you open the portal," Hisaki said.
"Very well," he said, opening a portal in the room. Hisaki ran through it a top speed. As soon as she entered the human world Hisaki easily tracked down the demon, stalking Kurama's mother, and killed it. She went back through the portal.
"Hmm 1 minute 26 seconds," Koenma commented, stopping the watch.
"I told you 2 minutes was more than enough," Hisaki said, smirking. "Thanks, Koenma." She ran back into the arena in time to see Kurama's death plant sprout out of Roto.
"What irony. Such beauty sprung from such an ugly soil," Kurama said.
"What a fool. So intent on his motives his didn't notice your moves," Hiei commented. "Don't worry, his demon friend has been taken care of." Hiei glanced at Hisaki, Kurama followed his line of sight and smiled. She returned the gesture.
"What a relief," Yusuke said in his sleep.
"Will the next fighters please come forward?" Koto announced. Zeru walked into the ring.
"What their team leader is fighting now?" Kurama asked.
"He should go last, maybe there's a mistake," Kuwabara said.
"No," Hisaki said. "Zeru is definitely the strongest of the four remaining. He's fighting angry."
"Urameshi team, can we get on with it here?" Koto asked.
"I'll go," Hisaki and Hiei said in unison. They both glared at each other, before Hisaki smirked.
"Fine," she said. "But the next leader you want to fight I shall take on to spite you."
"Hn," Hiei said, jumping into the ring. He stared Zeru down. "I know a great deal about your technique. You harnessed heat energy with such great precision that it resemble a knife cut, but one of the edges was sloppily melted. You have your flaws."
"As do you," Zeru said. "I don't think I need advise from someone who has to use a fake eye."
"Fight!" Koto yelled. Zeru lit up his flaming aura immediately. Kuwabara and Kurama jumped to dodge. Hisaki just manipulated the flames around her and the Masked Fighter, protected Keiko and Shizuru from being scorched. Hiei just smirked. This provoked Zeru, making him charge again. With his flame power, Zeru transformed himself into a more powerful being. He drove his hand, presumably through Hiei, making him catch on fire and fly through the air. Before Hiei hit the ground, Zeru hit Hiei again with a wave of heat.
"Well that fight wasn't a long one, but when you've got scorching moves like Zeru's then a little goes a long way!" Koto said.
"Yes, he's so talented, I'm reluctant to make the kill," Hiei said, standing up, engulfed in flames.
"Oh my! Hiei's survived! He's smoldering!" Koto said. Hiei's Jagan burned through the bandana covering it.
"My Jagan may not be natural but it does give me exactly what I need," Hiei said. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame!"
"He's going to attempt the darkness technique," Hisaki said eyes wide.
"Darkness technique?" Botan repeated. The sky opened up and black lights shone down as a black flame engulfed Hiei's right arm.
"You know it's impossible to control it completely. Once I summon it, I have no say," Hiei explained. "I have the power to pull you into oblivion. I assume just my right arm will do. You should never have insulted the Jagan eye. In a way, it has it's own mind and loathes disrespect. Resisting is not something I would do." A black dragon made of flames shot out of Hiei's extended arm. It slammed into Zeru and then into the wall.
"Well he's definitely out of the ring," Koto said, after the dragon disappeared.
"Believe me, he's not coming back," Hiei said. "That cinder's all that's left of him."
"Yes, then I suppose counting to ten would be ridiculous," Koto said. "Let's give it up for Hiei!"
As Hiei walked back to you all, Hisaki noticed he was cringing occasionally and he is not one to show pain. She grabbed his arm above where it was burnt and forced him to sit on the ground. Without saying a word, she gently pulled his hand out of his pocket and made him hold it out. Hisaki held one hand above it and one hand below and closed her eyes.
"Hisaki?" Kuwabara asked.
"You'll break her concentration," Kurama muttered. When Hisaki tried to force her energy into the wound, some energy of the dragon shot out and damaged her hands.
"Stop, baka Kitsune," Hiei said putting his hand back in his pocket. "Worry about the next fight which is apparently yours."
Stunned by their leader's quick demise, the other members of Team Rokuyoukai except for Rinku started to run out of the entrance they came in, but in the dark, someone stopped them and was heard killing them.
"Hey, don't run out on your team!" someone said, then a man with a blue Mohawk came out, holding the two men in his left hand, and a bottle of beer in his right. Hisaki's nose wrinkled when the smell assaulted her senses.
"Drunk, definitely drunk," she said. He crawled into the ring. The man was the alternate fighter for Team Rokuyoukai.
"His Spirit Energy is a lot less than Zeru's but for some reason I got a creepy feeling. Watch out, you guys," Kuwabara said.
"What could you be worried about? He's the alternate fighter and secondly he's a lush," Botan said. Hisaki grinned a battle happy grin.
"No, no I can feel it too," Hisaki said.
"Let's go! I wanna get a good brawl in before my fun wears off. In that case, they better fight me all at once," the man, known now as Chu, said, laughing.
"I'll go this time," Hisaki said, cracking her knuckles, but before she could take two steps, she paused. "Damned idiot. I wanted to get a fight in."
Yusuke had jumped over her head into the ring. "Waking up from the smell of alcohol, can't help but feel a touch of home," he said. "Hey all you stupid demons! I've been trying to sleep well you've trashed talked long enough and I'm ready to kick some asses!"
Hisaki leaned on the ringside. "I wanted to fight," she muttered angrily.
"Be a good girl and go fetch a newspaper or something," Yusuke said mockingly. Hisaki got an anger mark.
"I'm a fox, not a dog!" she yelled.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Yusuke said, advancing into the Arena. Hisaki growled.
"Calm down, Hisaki," Botan said. Kurama put a hand on her shoulder and she forced her to be calm. The crowd went into an uproar as Yusuke and Chu faced each other.
