Hisaki flashed over to the Okuninja tree she was scheduled to fight on where she would face Natsumi.

"Well, kit, I never thought we'd have the chance to fight again," Natsumi said.

"I had always hoped that we would," Hisaki said. "You and Koku refined my fighting skills and I'd like to show you what I've developed over the past millennium."

"Then let's start," Natsumi said disappearing. She reappeared next to her in mid air, aiming a kick at her head. Hisaki raised her arm in time to block.


"You did well, kiddo," Natsumi said. "Raizen would be proud."

"I know he is," Hisaki said, smiling. She helped Natsumi get to the infirmary and let them bandage her up.

The next day in the morning Hisaki took on her second opponent, a no name fighter, and won, but her real fight was about to begin. Hisaki vs. Mukuro. They both stood on the Okuninja tree.

"I knew we'd fight sooner or later, be it in war or in the ring, my friend," Hisaki said to her.

"I share your thoughts," Mukuro said. The referee told them to start and they took off running. Hisaki don't know how long they spent just exchanging blows, fist for fist, kick for kick, but slowly they were getting worn down. Suddenly they felt a surge of energy and both Hisaki and Mukuro paused.

"Their power, its inspiring," Mukuro said.

"For us to feel it here, Yusuke and Yomi must be giving it their all without saving any for the end," Hisaki said.

"Hisaki," Mukuro said.

"Yeah?" she replied.

"How do you feel about taking this fight to the next level and showing these boys how it's really done?" Mukuro asked.

"I thought you'd never ask," Hisaki said. She flared her energy around her and as she Mukuro, when felt another pair of fighters charge their energies as well, but Hisaki was focused on her energy and Mukuro's as her true demonic form emerged including her second tail. Raising her arms above her head, Hisaki created a massive ball of molten lava.

"Try this on," she said, taking to the skies. Hisaki threw the molten lava down and it incased the whole plateau. Except for one part. Hisaki forgot she had the ability to cut through space. She winced as Mukuro's slash grazed her leg. This cycle continued on for a while, Hisaki through fire and/or lava at Mukuro. She got burnt a bit and then countered, cutting Hisaki slightly. After 25 minutes, Hisaki was bloody and Mukuro was burnt. They were worn out, kneeling on the ground.

"This has been the best fight I've had in years," Hisaki said, standing. "But all good things must come to an end."

"We shall give it everything we have left," Mukuro said, standing up also. Hisaki charged raw energy to her fist as did Mukuro. Running at each other at a top speed, they both punched each other in the face. Hisaki's world went black as she saw Mukuro falling too. What she didn't see was Mukuro managed to catch herself before falling completely. She smiled at Hisaki's unconscious form.

"You fought well, kit," Mukuro said. "Had you not fought Natsumi beforehand, this fight would've ended differently."

When Hisaki woke up, she was heavily bandaged in an infirmary bed. Sitting up, she became aware of her surroundings. The nurse was checking on her.

"Oh you're awake," she said surprised. "We didn't expect you to wake up for another few days." Hisaki gave her a confused look, before she became aware of another presence on the other side of the bed. Kurama was grasping her hand, his head resting on the bed. "He didn't leave your side once. You have a very loyal mate."

Before Hisaki could get out a word, the nurse walked out of the room. Hisaki shook her head, before shaking Kurama awake. He sat up after little motivation.

"Hey," Hisaki said smiling.

"Hisaki," Kurama said. He pulled herinto a hug.

"Kurama?" she said confused. "What're you doing here?"

"During my fight with Shigure, I realized some things," he said. "Youko is a part of who I am as I am part of Youko. We are the same, yet simultaneously different."

"I think you're the one who needs some rest," Hisaki said, patting his shoulder. He gently grabbed her by the shoulders.

"I love you, Hisaki," Kurama said. "You coming near death and my own insight has helped me understand this."

Without warning, he pressed his lips to hers. Hisaki was taken by shock for a moment. One minute he was talking almost animatedly, then the next he was kissing her passionately. Her eyes fluttered shut and she returned the kiss just as heated, tangling her hands in his red locks.

"Oh um sorry to interrupt." The nurse had come back into the room. Hisaki and Kurama stopped kissing, but remained close together. "I just thought you'd like to know Mr. Urameshi has woken up." She quickly scurried out of the room.

With her arms still wrapped around Kurama's neck, Hisaki swung her legs so she was sitting up. Kurama wrapped an arm around Hisaki's waist and put the other one under herknees.

"I take it you're not gonna let me walk?" Hisaki asked, playfully. He just lifted her up with ease. Hisaki quickly kissed his lips, having missed his taste.

"I love you," She muttered into his neck. "I always have and I always will."

"But never as much as I love you," Kurama replied, walking out of the room.

"Wanna bet?" Hisaki asked as Kurama walked over to another room. The door swished open.

"So where are we now in the tournament? Is it the semi-finals yet?" Yusuke asked.

"Something I wanna know too," Hisaki said, looking at Kurama. Everyone in the room looked to her and Kurama.

"Hisaki? You got beat up too?" Yusuke asked. "Hey are you back with Kurama?"

"Yep," Hisaki said, kissing Kurama's cheek.

"The tournament is over," Kurama said going back to the original question.

"What the hell?!" Hisaki and Yusuke asked in unison. Jin and Chu helped Yusuke out while Kurama had helping Hisaki covered.

"Well the fights have been long, the fights have been tough, but as all great things do, this romp has come to an end," Koto said. "And so I present to you the winner of this Tournament and the new sole ruler of the Makai, Enki!"

"I thought for sure it's be Yomi or Mukuro," Yusuke said.

"Yomi lost in his first match after you," Kurama said. "As did Mukuro."

"Well here I am by strange circumstances and the mystery of the matching," Enki said. "But I've come to believe luck is just as important as planning in this life, so I am taking the leadership over us, but I am making it only a 3 Year term. Well the rule was whoever wins, no matter what, all demons have to obey his or her law, so I'll hold you to that. Now it won't be hard to remember, I'm only enforcing one great law. My law is that there shall be no mischief in the Ningenkai. we've been fighting for too long, but it's something I learned from an old friend. This is how I'll honor his memory. I'll create a council and figure out the specifics within a week."

"Where's Yomi? I'd like to see his reaction," you asked.

"He left soon after his loss," Kurama answered. "He described it as a journey of new truths with his son."

"Well thank you for coming here, everyone, and listening to me," Enki said. "Things are going to start getting better around here."

Hisaki and Natsumi had worn each other down, coming down to their final legs. In a final punch, each connecting with the intended targets, Hisaki and Natsumi both hit the ground. The Former managed to get up before she was counted out, Natsumi wasn't as lucky.
