Just as I promised here is part 2 everyone! I have to admit that this part is going to be rather short because I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the next chapter and I will reiterate in the author's note at the end of the chapter so please read it I actually need some input.
Also thank you very much for reviewing! Don't worry I didn't give up on the story I've just been pretty busy and I've been trying to come up with the layout of other chapters for my stories as well as bonus chapters for this one. Speaking of which, if anyone has an idea for a bonus chapter don't be afraid to let me know! I'd like to hear your ideas!

Chapter 25: Yusuke vs Jin Part 2
The ring was consumed in light. Then, as if it were a balloon that popped, pressure burst forth from all directions. "AHHHH!" The referee could be heard screaming as she was launched from the ring once more. Spectators took cover and those in the frontlines braced themselves behind the walls or hung onto rails for dear life.
"ORGI ZEFYROUS TOU!" Nobunaga yelled as the wave hit the grass. The western wind wrapped around the rest of the team protectively though some of the blast still made its way through. "AISLING!" The exile screamed as he jumped to save the fairy from being pulverized by the sheer force. He found himself rolling to a stop on the grass and seeing the sky in a daze.
Kurama braced himself against the concrete. The vibration alone threatening to send him flying. He was able to calm down some as he felt Nobunaga's spell wrap itself around him. The Cu Sith shielded Kuwabara from the brunt of the pressure, digging his claws into the earth for added support. Although the barrier around the masked fighter and Hiei was weakening they, along with their captor, were protected from the blast.
Koto staggered back on her feet unsteadily and looked around. Maybe she should just stick to commentary on the side lines if the fights were going to be to this intensity. She's lost count of how many times she been blown away from the ring. "They've disappeared!?" She yelped. "Have the two competitors blown each other to pieces?!"
"Ugh..." Kuwabara groaned clutching at thick green fur. "Thanks..." He muttered to the Cu Sith who huffed before shaking itself out and padded towards Nobunaga who remained on the ground sprawled.
"Never again..." The exile moaned and lifted his shirt collar slightly. Aisling was underneath, nails digging into his collar bone, her blue hues wide. She was shaken as was evident by the erratic flutter of her wings. "You ok Aisling?" A slight nod of her head was all he needed before flopping his own cranium back onto the grass. The Cu Sith cocked his head in concern and Nobunaga nodded. "I'm fine. Sick of this shit and I want to go home, but fine."
"Kuwabara are you alright?" Kurama called out to the human who grunted with some discomfort. Though the worst of his internal bleeding had been healed by Nobunaga, he still had fractures and broken bones.
"I'm fine but where's Urameshi?"
From beside the medical tent, Yusuke shot up from his position on the ground. "Shit! I messed up!"
"Urameshi is up and about but what happened to Jin?" Koto questioned before looking to the sky again and found the wind demon huffing and puffing as floated with one of his sashes tattered and a few marks from the blast present on his skin.
"Dammit Urameshi I thought I was crazy but you take the prize! The hell was that?! You don't make bombs go 'boom' in your face!" (A/N: My favorite quote from him XD) He yelled gobsmacked.
"He's tough enough." Hiei commented gaining Yusuke's attention. "Instead of evading the confrontation, he used the impact wave to propel himself and escape from damage. This guy has class. He's strong. I can't see any way to get rid of him."
Yusuke grit his teeth huffing. "Me neither but I'll find a way!"
"Hn. I'm following your combat... but I'm fed up with staying blocked." Hiei spoke eyeing the detective with a wicked gleam in his eye. "I warn you... If you lose it's me who will take your place." Suddenly Hiei's energy roared around him much like his flames. "Forget the rules. Those who oppose me will die!"
"I'll kill them all." The demon finished leaving the human, masked fighter and their captor in stunned silence. The referee continued her countdown and Yusuke hopped back into the ring as she hit eight.
"I'm going to take care of him. This match is mine!" Yusuke declared.
Meanwhile Jin hummed rotating both arms. "Well? I'm waiting! What are you goin' to do now Urameshi?" Soon enough tornados surrounded both his forearms.
"Jin has come out with a double whirlwind now!"
"An anti Reigun! Don't suppose your technique can handle two of these dallies at once." Jin piped up.
This won't be easy... Yusuke thought as he took up a stance. Spiritual energy crackled about him.
At the tent, the masked fighter watched surprised though the fabric hid her expression. He's going to do it huh..? The Reigun concentrates energy on the finger. In contrast it's over his entire body now... It's a big risk demanding that much energy in a single instant... "He needs more than that to win... It's too risky..."
Jin on the other hand could feel himself welling up with excitement. "Eye of the wind on him now so I see. He's wrappin' around like one big tornado of his own! Whoo! And whee! And fun sorts! Flyin' that power like crazy he is!" The wind demon muttered to himself. His ears twitched rapidly, showing his enjoyment. If my ears were any pointier I'd be pokin' someone's eye out. "I can't be waitin' anymore."
"Here I am!" The redhead yelled as he dove forward towards Yusuke. This was it! He'd beat this human and they'd be one step closer towards their goal! This island would be theirs! They would be rid of their shinobi ties. He couldn't wait.
Yusuke smirked. "Let's have some fun Jin."
"Love to!" Jin prepared to swing a tornado down upon the human. "Sempo Ken!"
He was caught off guard when he felt a hand grip his fist. "What?!" Suddenly the energy around Yusuke grew brighter. The concrete beneath his feet splintered and cracked from the force of his spiritual energy. "What're ya' doin' now Urameshi!? Tornado in the hand no one does!" Yusuke tossed away the fist, tornado dissipating. Jin felt his jaw drop. "He managed to brush off Jin's strike!" The referee could be heard commenting in the background.
"It's goodbye!" Jin claimed.
As the other fist flew towards him, Yusuke caught it once more. "Blockin' it again!?"
Energy surged even brighter. "Take this!" Jin felt the air escape the entirety of his lungs as the human landed a punch coated in spirit energy to his abdomen. "REIKODAN!" The impact sent the wind demon hurtling into the stands with quite the explosion as he kissed the concrete. Once more, spectators caught in the crossfire were sent into the air.
"A clean hit! Jin was propelled into the stands!"
"He hid it well." Hiei spoke to the masked fighter.
"The same technique as on the boat." The female replied. "He calls it the shot gun." At a great distance it's less powerful than the Reigun. In contrast, body to body... It's unstoppable. The most powerful attack that he currently possesses...
Outside the stadium, demons could be seen clamoring for last minute tickets to enter the stadium as they watched the fight from a massive screen built into the side of the structure. It was getting to the point that they were fighting each other.
"Oi anyone willing to sell a ticket!?"
"Dammit Jin get up! Don't lose to a human!"
"Gimmie that ticket before I maul ya'!"
Further away from the chaos, a familiar young lady watched.
"Oh... I am too late to get a ticket as well?"
"FIVE... SIX..." The countdown echoed over the roaring of the crowd.
Well?! I'm waiting! Yusuke thought to himsef impatiently as he waited for any sign of Jin getting back up. He could feel exhaustion creeping up on him. Though I'd prefer he be unconscious...
It was a shock to everyone in the ring when Jin popped up from out of the rubble and stood on shaking legs.
"Shit he's still standing?!" Kuwabara yelled shocked.
"Have to hand it to him. Jin's got a will of steel." Nobunaga muttered as he went back to focus on the Shimaneki plant. It was still a slow process but he and Aisling were managing to uncoil the roots without adding more damage to Kurama's nerves. Aisling chirped complaining about the stubborn shrubbery.
Jin struggled to remain standing in the crater he made. "Hold it right... there Urameshi..." He stammered. "I'll... be comin' in just a second..." Those were his last words before collapsing to the ground unconscious.
"TEN! THE VICTORY IS FOR TEM URAMESHI!" Koto announced Yusuke as the winner much to the displeasure of the spectators. As the crowd jeered, an ugly human in a business suit ran down towards the wall in a huff to the last member of Team Mashotsukai.
"Eh you! Are you sure of your skills!? I've bet everything on your victory!" He puffed.
"I assure you. He's exhausted." The last member spoke blandly. "If that isn't enough for you, there remains a way."
The human grinned greedily. "hehe... That doesn't sound bad at all. I'll get to it!"
The last member stepped to the ring removing his cloak to reveal dark hair and a smung ashen face. "I warn you..."
"What?" Yusuke growled wanting to get the match over with. Kurama still had a demon plant in him that Nobunaga was currently trying to get out of his system, Hiei and the masked fighter were still trapped in that force field, and Kuwabara needed medical attention before his bones healed wrong. You couldn't exactly blame him for wanting to speed things up.
"You're going to lose without even touching me." The demon remained smug.
"We'll see about that!" Yusuke charged towards him as the referee called for the battle to begin.
"WARNING! THE MATCH IS SUSPENDED!" The speakers suddenly came to life startling Yusuke into falling on the concrete.
"What!?" Kuwabara wondered exasperated.
"The order comes from one of the VIPs!" Koto spoke in the mic.
"WHY!?" Yusuke yelled.
"DURING THE PRECEDING MATCH JIN WAS OUT OF THE RING! THE REFEREE MISSED THE TIME FOR THE COUNTDOWN!"
"Me!?" Said demoness yelped.
"IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS WE HAVE DECIDED TO DECLARE THE MATCH VOID!"
Nobunaga froze in place, white flames of his healing magic gone out. Aisling grew still hands dropping and looked up at the face of her master chirping uncertainly.
She jumped suddenly when her master groaned in frustration. "Can we kill them all please? Preferably now?"
Author's note: Sorry that the second part is short but I'm having a problem deciding the fight with Risho. I kind of want to stay true to the original plot but at the same time I want to give Nobunaga more action time. Anyway though thank you for reading, review but be civil about it, and stay tuned for the next chapter!
