New Chaps up, I'm really happy with this one, more violence :D

Disclaimer at the end.

Kagome sat in a chair next to Hiei, who lay on the infirmary bed. He occasionally twitched or called out isolated words, but did not awaken. Seeing him like this scared her. She'd thought he was so strong, that the idea that someone could drive him to this state was frightening. It was 2:30 in the afternoon, eight hours after Hiei had collapsed. He still hadn't stirred.

She was still sitting there when a voice vibrated through the walls, his voice. Gambler's voice.

"Good afternoon maggots! Today is a special day! Today I'm going to send in another pair from each team to meet. And this time I'm sure there'll be a fight. But I'll be switching it up a bit, my informant will bring each team a letter with the two lucky victims at 11:30pm, and the two will enter through the gate at midnight. See you then!" there was a click and the room was silent.

Kagome stood and left to the living area, she hoped Hiei would be fine on his own. Roy and the others were waiting.

"We need to all be prepared," Roy began, "He could call out any pair of us, including Kagome and Hiei."

Kagome gasped, "But we were sent in last time, and Hiei's in no condition to move yet!"

"I know," Roy sighed, "But we have no idea how Gambler's mind works, and if he sends in the same pairs as last time… well you have some idea how pissed Vegeta will be." Kagome practically shivered at the thought. Roy ran them all through different passive and aggressive techniques that would be useful in case of attack. No one felt completely ready.

At exactly 11:30 the group heard a knock on the door. C.C. opened it to see a man with black hair and a blindfold. "Good evening." The man said in monotone, "My name is Scholar, I'm delivering the letter." He passed her a letter and closed the door.

C.C. sighed and opened it, her eyes widened and she gasped. Roy walked up and his face became grim. Kagome approached and her heart fell.

'Higurashi Kagome and Roy Mustang' Gambler had never said he was choosing an existing pair, he was just picking two people. They had 30 minutes to reach the gate, their strategies and plans ruined. Kagome went to her room and grabbed her bow and arrows, hoping that the other pair would be peaceful.

The scenery was the same as the last time Kagome had been there. The cracks from Hiei and Vegeta's battle where still there. Roy gave Kagome an encouraging nod.

Their hearts skipped a beat when they heard a voice. The voice of the man who had fought Roy on their first meeting. The voice of the man who had wounded C.C. The voice of the man who had been defeated by Hiei.

"It's you two! Where's the runt!" Vegeta roared as he flew towards them. The other person was too far away to see much except for a shock of bright orange hair.

Roy turned to Kagome, "I'll try and hold him off for a while. I won't make any promises though. If I'm defeated you'll have to hold your own until the hour is up and the doors open."

Kagome nodded, "I'll help when I can, if you can distract him then I can shoot him with my arrows." She pulled her readied her bow from her shoulder.

Vegeta was faster than expected as he flew head on into Roy, tackling him into the air. Roy clicked his fingers and transmuted a flame into his hand, which he forced into Vegeta's face. Vegeta released Roy but didn't seem to have taken any damage.

Vegeta came in quickly with a left jab, which Roy blocked with his right, before countering with a kick and a backwards leap. Vegeta continued taking the offensive, Roy struggled to block and counter. Vegeta threw another few jabs at an impossible speed, so instead of blocking Roy rolled onto his back and pushed out both legs, double kicking Vegeta in the throat.

Vegeta may have had the advantage in raw speed, strength and power, but Roy's attacks were always aimed at the vitals with no wasted movement.

Roy rubbed his fingers on his left hand, enveloping Vegeta in a storm of flame. This only seemed to anger the Saiyan warrior, who caught Roy off-guard and hit him into the air. Once airborne Roy pulled his pistol from his jacket, shooting a warning shot into the ground next to Vegeta.

Roy didn't want to kill Vegeta, mostly because Kakashi would die too. But Roy wasn't afraid to heavily injure.

As Roy fell he twisted to evade a beam fired from Vegeta's palm. When he landed he swept a leg around, kicking Vegeta in the face. To Roy's surprise Vegeta didn't try to dodge, instead Vegeta grabbed Roy's ankle, using his momentum to spin Roy around and slam him into the ground.

Roy gasped in pain, but just before Vegeta could do a follow up attack an arrow of light flickered through the air, embedding itself in Vegeta's shoulder. Vegeta growled as he tore the arrow from his flesh, seeming surprisingly affected.

He turned to Kagome but before he could attack Roy swept his legs from underneath him. Roy flipped up and got some distance. Vegeta was now more enraged than ever.

Roy took a quick breath as Vegeta flew towards him. At the very last second Roy moved to the side, placed his palm on Vegeta's head, flipped him over and slammed him into the ground. Vegeta stopped moving.

Roy stood, breathing heavily. He looked up and was about to ask Kagome if she was alright when a small red beam speared through his stomach. Roy fell, still conscious, struggling to get up.

Vegeta stood, a psychotic smile on his face and turned to Kagome. "You know, I just realised something." Kagome shivered at the look he was giving her, "If I kill you, then the runt dies as well!"

Kagome didn't let him make a move towards her, she took off running. She had her bow ready and was firing glowing arrows towards Vegeta. He snarled, "Woman, this isn't even my final form!"

He kicked the ground and shards of stone raced through the air towards Kagome. She dropped to the ground, avoiding the worst of the debris. She looked up to see Vegeta already standing there.

Vegeta raised a palm to her face, and she winced as it began to glow. Just when she thought she was doomed a foot kicked down on Vegeta's head. Forcing him to the ground. But it didn't just stop there, Kagome scrambled up as a crater was created by the force, half burying Vegeta at least two metres down.

Kagome slowly looked up at her sudden saviour. He had bright orange hair that spiked out kind of like the top of a strawberry. He was wearing a school uniform that had a good luck charm sewn to the lining. His face was harsh, almost scary as he glared at Vegeta's unconscious body.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!"

Who's that pokemon?

Seriously, whoever can guess who the new mystery man is gets... nothing... 'cause this is the internet... but still!

Tenth chapter and no reviews. I'm okay with it, but seriously, ten dedicated chapters and not even flame. Is anyone actually reading this?

Sorry, sorry, I know I'm just being an attention wh***.
