Crimson Locks

            Love can make humans do many wonderful things such as fight for the one they love, sacrifice themselves to save one another, or even scream angrily at your love interest to stop showing off and get down to fighting sensibly.  The latter option is the one Genkai took to call attention to herself and also to yell at Yusuke for being a overconfident moron.  "What the hell are you doing Yusuke stop showing off and fight Risho with a bit of sense this time k?"  If Yusuke heard he paid no mind because he was again wearing that ever annoying smirk which makes all his opponents more and more angry at this upstart of a human.  Yusuke's next opponent would be the leader of Team Masho Risho the earth master.  He controls the very earth that surrounds the ring and manipulates the earth to form his favorite technique the Armor of Clay.  Looking on Genkai cannot be a little afraid for her student and love interest but Yusuke seems too calm to suit her liking.

The match begins when Koto the fox referee runs in fear of the two combatants; Yusuke again starts first and leaps into action to gauge this new victim of his Spirit Wave.  But he will have a surprise waiting for him when he sees what Risho has under his sleeve or rather around the ring.  Jumping to the outside of the ring Risho circulates a dust cloud of earth and dirt to create his Armor of Clay which he will use to demolish this arrogant creature who seeks to defeat all demon's in the Dark Tournament.  With his first coating on Risho executes his Meteor Attack determined to crush Yusuke underneath his armor of dirt.  Yusuke does not expect such a tactic by the leader of the shinobi team and takes the brunt of the attack to his chest and stomach area.  "Damn that is some hard shit that stupid Risho is packing I see a crater where I would have been if I had not moved in the nick of time."  Yusuke takes a moment to orient himself but that is all Risho needs to again gain the upper hand with his Meteor Attack; but thankfully for our hero Yusuke again dodges in time but takes more damage to his body.

"Fighting 5 on 1 was not my best idea, damn now I wish that I had taken care of this guy in the first few minutes of the battle."  Team Urameshi watches on; Kurama seems worried but confident that Yusuke will endure the punishment dealt by Risho, Kuwabara is yelling obscenities at Yusuke while holding his sides so as not to inflict anymore pain on his ravished body, Hiei is watching with satisfaction that Yusuke is finally getting a little humiliation for his arrogant attitude, although deep inside he is worried about Yusuke Hiei will never admit it.  Finally Genkai is now passively watching the clash between Yusuke and Risho analyzing the situation and trying to locate Risho's weakness to info her star pupil and win this 3rd round of fighting in the Dark Tournament.

"Hey Yusuke, Risho is weak without the armor so just bust it up with your Rei Gun and get this match over with already." yelled Genkai.  Seeing what his sensei is saying is true Yusuke sprints toward the charging Risho and starts to send his Rei Gun just when Risho executes his meteor technique once again.  In the resulting explosion there is debris everywhere but no sign of either fighter and the audience assumes that they are both dead but amid the cheers and rejoicing of the demon audience there comes a grunt of effort from the middle of the ring where Yusuke is extracting himself from the wreckage that used to be Risho's Armor of Clay.  Though Risho is unharmed in the end there is no mistake that Yusuke has won the battle; Yusuke dusts himself off then charges his final Rei Gun to blast away this last member of Team Masho.  Risho attempts to construct his Armor of Clay once more but does not have enough time and falls victim to the powerful effects of Yusuke's Rei Gun at point blank range.  A flash of light then we see Risho's unconscious form flying toward the stadium wall and forming a lasting imprint on the stadium till the day Risho's body leaves the world of the living.

With the victory assured and only the matter of counting to ten by Koto the fox lady Yusuke leaves the ring and heads toward his fellow teammates.  Congratulations are exchanged between the teammates and questions are answered but not in full.  "How did you do that Urameshi?" questions Kuwabara as he discusses the last 5 matches between Team Masho.  "It was a piece of cake due to the fact that most of them were just too weak to even be in this stadium." boasts Yusuke as he strikes a victory pose.  "Cut the crap Urameshi and tell me how you did the things you did or I will be forced to use my blade on you." threatens Hiei.  "O.K. O.K. enough don't get all excited I just felt great fighting in there for some reason or other." stated Yusuke but seemed apprehensive in his remark.  "Come let us leave Urameshi to recover and rest for the next match will be a trial we will all have to face." stated Kurama.  "Yes it is for the best that Urameshi rests let us be off."  With that said the masked fighter a.k.a. Genkai walked toward the exit of the arena and soon followed the rest of the team.

But Yusuke had something to talk about with Genkai so he raced to catch up to her and motioned for her to follow him again to the forest outside the arena.  Walking toward the forest a moment of awkward silence pervaded the atmosphere of our intrepid couple.  "So how did you like my fighting today teach?" ventured Yusuke.  "I found it reckless and idiotic that you chose to taunt your opponents so."  Reaching the foliage encompassing the deadly arena of life or death Yusuke felt chastised and ashamed with his behavior during the matches but still snapped back a scathing remark "Well I was just so worried about them that I wanted to give them a fair chance so there."  Genkai stared at her student and shook her head "What could have possibly been thinking in there you could have been killed in there with your childish antics."

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it I had too much energy after that wonderful kiss…ehm I didn't just say that scratch that." blubbered Yusuke.

With her cheeks tinting a slight pink Genkai rattled out "What was that…did you just say that my…I mean our…I mean the thing before the start of the matches caused your recklessness."

"Ohh would you just come out and say it our kiss…you know the one where me and you were in such a great feeling of warmth and love…or at least that's what it felt to me." stated the ripening tomato that was Yusuke.

"So our…our…our kiss caused this sudden jumpstart of chi(spiritual energy) that has arisen inside of you?"

"Yes that was the reason I felt so alive in there.  I couldn't help myself your kiss gave me so much happiness and power that I had way more than enough to pulverize those clowns."

"An interesting development it might be wise to test this theory of yours by again experiencing this so called power up, that is if you are up to it Yusuke."

"Really!!!!!!  I mean really that would be fine by me just an experiment nothing more right?"

With a nod they both agreed to close their eyes and develop this "experiment" of theirs; but the only problem with closing one's eyes it is very hard to aim so they collided head on and bumped their heads in a very comical fashion.

"O.K. this time we do it with our eyes open k?" stated a blushing Yusuke.

"Agreed"

            Finally the moment we have all been waiting for the kiss that will seal the relationship between Genkai and her pupil Yusuke Urameshi.  As they inched closer and closer the anticipation was so thick you could cut it with a butter knife.  When they actually began the kiss there were no moans or ahhs just a kind of beautiful silence.  But as they deepened the kiss and instilled passion into their lips they were soon too caught up in their moment to care anything about the "experiment".  Yusuke warmly embraced Genkai while never stopping the kiss, while Yusuke was massaging the crimson locks of Genkai's hair Genkai was doing some caressing of her own but more in the area of Yusuke's tight abs and chest.  Emitting moans of pleasure and epps of pain when Yusuke pulled a little too hard in his attempts at massaging Genkai's tresses it was altogether a very special moment for both parties.  When they finally came up for air they were astounded to see the amount of dishevelment and chaos that ensued over one little kiss they could not believe it's affects.

"Wow!!" was the beleaguered response from resident badass Yusuke Urameshi.

"You said it that was more than enough for our *cough* experiment."

"O.K. but was that really enough I mean I don't want to have messed it up maybe we should try it one more time to be sure." exclaimed the eager teen.

But with a mischievous smirk and a seductive air about her Genkai soon ran straight into the forest and away from her lover to be.

"Hey where are you going come back I want to continue our *cough* research.  Ah come on don't run away it was just getting good."  Yusuke soon raced to catch up to his most elusive of prey and found a great surprise at the end of his hunt!!!
