The next morning Kaili was already lying awake in the bed before the sun even rose. She couldn't stop thinking about what her father had said. Sure, the guys were strong, but Kaili didn't know about the other team. Also, Yusuke hadn't come back yet with the Masked Fighter. If they didn't get back in time, the round would be three against five, lowering her friends' chances of survival.
Kaili threw the blankets off of herself and got dressed. She needed air and sitting in bed thinking was just going to drive her insane.
"Kurama," Hiei called his comrade's name.
"Yes, Hiei?"
"The detective and the fighter aren't back yet. It's the fool, you, and I."
"Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming." Hiei stared at Kurama and didn't move. "Is there something else?"
"That human girl of yours is wandering around by herself."
Kurama's face shouted worry and he was out the door. Hiei sighed bitterly and rolled his eyes. Never happening to me, he thought to himself.
"Ah, Kaili," her father greeted from out of nowhere. "Why not come watch the fight with me?"
Kaili looked back and glared at him. "I'd rather sit in a sea of demons that want to kill me than with you."
"That's not a wise choice," he joked sinisterly.
"Neither is her other option," Kurama replied. Both Kaili and her father looked over to the side to see him.
"Shuichi," Kaili said with a smile.
"Well, look who it is," Kaili's father mocked. "If it isn't the freak that made my daughter a traitor."
"Hypocrites are not welcome among demons. At least we admit our wrongdoings."
Kaili's father glared at Kurama before just walking away. He couldn't fight back.
"Are you alright, Kaili?" Kurama asked checking to make sure she wasn't hurt.
Kaili laughed and took his hands. "Don't worry. He just invited me to watch the fight with him. But like I said, I'd rather take my chances with the demons."
Kurama smiled. Kaili's attitude was still intact, definitely signaling that she was fine. He could always tell when she was upset by her attitude. It was just something he noticed about her.
"You need to get to the fight," Kaili told him.
Kurama took her hand and said, "Yes, but you're coming with us."
"What about the girls?" Kaili asked.
"I'm sure they're getting ready as we speak," Kurama predicted. "They'll meet us there."
Kaili nodded and let Kurama lead her out of the hotel to the new stadium.
"Okay, so my father has hired a child, a guy dressed like a playing card, some ugly looking dude, a pretty boy, and an old guy…" Kaili muttered. "Somehow, I feel a little more confident."
Kurama chuckled. "It'll still be difficult, Kaili. They wouldn't be in the semi-finals if they weren't strong competitors. But then again, neither would we and we are fighting for something much more important than the fame they are after."
Kaili gave Kurama a quick kiss on the lips. "Good luck," she said about to run to her seat. She turned back to look at him. "Don't get yourself killed, okay?"
Kurama smiled and nodded, and Kaili took her leave. When she got to her seat, none of the girls were there. Huh, well that's strange…
The new announcer was already giving her introductions and the match agreement was already being set. What? Where the hell are Yusuke and that masked girl? Are they seriously fighting three to five…AGAIN?
Kaili thought back to the last time they fought three to five and how hurt Kurama had been. That was just a couple days before.
The other team threw out two dice, and the first match was to be Makintaro versus Hiei. It dawned on Kaili that this would be the first time she would see Hiei fight since the first round since he and the Masked Fighter were kept out of the fight with the shinobi.
Hiei had made the first move, but no one saw until he held out Makintaro's arm. Gross, Kaili thought. I'm really glad I haven't eaten lunch yet. Hiei had dodged Makintaro who charged at him in anger and ended up on his back slicing his katana through his skull. And there goes my appetite for the rest of the day.
The demons didn't know whether to cheer for the carnage or rant about the human team getting a victory. Kaili rolled her eyes and shook her head. Then the guy that she deemed as dressed like a playing card stepped up and licked Hiei's sword after pulling it from his teammate's body. What the hell is wrong with everyone? Kaili's attention was drawn away from the match but she couldn't tell why. I thought I heard a scream. How bizarre. Oh well…
She really hated the guy Hiei was fighting now. He kept changing every time Hiei attacked with a new technique. Eventually Hiei decided to use his sword mixed with his darkness flame. The blood spurting everywhere from the two bodies did not help Kaili feel any better, but as it turned out, Hiei had won. After chatting with Kurama and Kuwabara, Kuwabara flipped out. Kaili chuckled. Hiei must have insulted him as he always seemed to.
The next match was going to be Kurama versus the kid. Kaili felt a little relieved. Kurama had to be stronger than a mere kid. He was over a thousand years old. Still, she remembered Shuichi's words about it being the semi-finals. Please be safe.
A/N: So yeah, I kind of rushed through the first two fights. I love them, but like Kaili, they seriously gross me out XD Anyway, next fight Kurama vs Ura Urishima. It's gonna be a good time :D
