1A Youko Love

Chapter 10

Toki walked into the arena, her still lowered.

"Well at least she's the weakest," Kurama muttered.

"No she's not," said Yusuke weakly, she's the captain. That Bubbles girl told me, you'd better be careful."

Kurama looked surprised but then nodded and walked into the arena.

Toki looked up and finally looked up exposing her eyes. They were blue with a tiny hint of green.

There's something familiar about her, Kurama thought.

"I'm Toki."

"I know. I'm Kurama. You're the team captain?"

"Yes, but I take it your team thought it was Bubbles? Yes, she is exceptionally powerful but I'm stronger actually."

"How? You hardly have any ki at all," Kurama said confused.

Toki smiled and all at once Kurama felt one of the most powerful ki 's he had ever felt enter the stadium.

"Your very strong," Kurama commented obviously a little intimidated.

"I know."

"Well, we should probably begin."

Toki nodded and Kurama pulled a rose from his hair.

Toki gave him a quizzical look.

"Well, I was going to absorb your power and use it against you, but it seems I already have your ability."

Toki also pulled a rose from her hair but hers was black.

"How did you do that?" Kurama asked disbelievingly.

"I don't know but maybe we should fight now and save the questions for later."

Kurama agreed.

"Rose Whip!" they both shouted and both attacked each other with their weapons. They slashed out at each other but it seemed neither could get a successful blow. They finally stopped their all out assault.

"Well, it seems I can't beat you like this," Toki said, letting her rose whip decay on the ground.

She reached into her hair and pulled out a tiny seed. Kurama realized at once what it was.

"The Death Tree!"

Toki smiled.

I can't beat her as Shuichi, he thought.

At once he turned into the silver Yoko.

"So you're a fox demon too? Small world."

She closed her eyes and raised her energy, making her turn into her silver blue fox counterpart. It was Reina.

Yoko couldn't believe his eyes. He dropped to the ground.

Fox," he whispered softly.

"What?" shesaid.

"Fox, hew said louder.

"That's right, I'm a fox demon."

"You don't recognize me?"

"Of course not," she said emotionlessly, "I haven't ever seen you until today," she said making her Death Tree grow.

She must have lost her memory, Yoko thought as he also made his tree grow.The two Death Trees

tangled with each other, ripping limbs off each other. They were in shreds on the ground by the time they were done.

Toki threw out her hand and made vines come from the ground and wrapped around Yoko, constraining him to the ground. He broke them and made plants grow to shoot poisonous darts at her. She dodged them easily and a dark purple orb formed in her hands and was shot at Yoko but he dodged it. Reina continued to shoot them at Yoko but he kept dodging every one.

She got an angry look on her face and closed her eyes.

What is she doing, Yoko thought.

At once her eyes opened wide, all three of them. When she had opened her eyes a third one had appeared on her forehead, it was glowing a light blue. It was a Jagon eye just like Hiei 's.

Hiei looked the surprised out of everyone. Reina slowly raised her arm in the air. Yoko was paralyzed with fear. The Dragon of Darkness Flame appeared for the second time in the arena. It hurtled towards Yoko but when the dragon was out of Yoko 's path he was laying on the ground, it did not devour him. He layed still until the ten count was over, for his body did not move of his own free will.

"Pathetic," Toki said, "C 'mon and bring Naki with you Bubbles."

"Please wait!" Yoko yelled.

"Toki stopped. She nodded for her teammates to go on without her.

"How are you talking or even moving, the dragon should have paralyzed you."

"I had to speak to you before you leave, your other self, the fox demon. Her name is Reina, she's lost her memories. Please, let me restore them!" Toki whirled around.

"How did you know that?"

"I know because I've met her before."

Toki looked at with him with a strange expression, like trying to remember a dream.

She hesitated for a moment longer then nodded.
