I own Willow, don't own Yu Yu Hakusho
***Genkai's Student*** Chapter Five: Introduction into the Dark Tournament
"Get going!" Willow practically threw Kuwabara into the range of vines. It was impressive how panic can speed you up. Kuwabara was running back and forth, dodging the vines and before he knew it, had grabbed hold of the trunk. He imediantly shot back out, as the vines shot at him again. He collapsed onto the ground, gasping.
"How'd....I do?" he panted.
"Quite well for a panic stricken fool." Willow remarked, looking at the sky. The other three started chuckling, Hiei had a small smirk on his lips.
"What was that?" Kuwabara demanded, jumping to his feet.
"Kurama, try again." Willow changed the subject. Kurama nodded and dove into the range again. He passed the test, but got a few close calls. Hiei also had to redo it, but he had also learned from his mistakes. She made them do it one more time, not heeding any of their complaints. She relented and let them rest a few minutes before making them climb up to the next platform. They had until noon to reach it, and they had better hurry since noon was only about three hours away.
This was how they trained until the dark Tournament would start. Although Willow had included sparring matches between them. She was merciless when it came to training them, even Hiei showed exhaustion after a week. They all were thankful when she woke them after the sun rose, instead of waking them up at the crack of dawn. She allowed them to do what they wished after nightfall, as long as they stayed on the platform. They mostly used it for sleep though, since she wasn't inclined to pity them when they only got an hour of sleep. She just tutted her tongue and made them work even harder than when she planned to. They learned to just take what she sent them, if they complained, she gave them more. She was respected this way, but she was also respected in her protective feeling for them. If they were in any danger, that had just happened onto them while they were training, she would imediantly protect them with a shield and detroy whatever it was.
They waited on the small platform for the ship to take them to the island the Dark Tournament would take place. Willow stood next to Yusuke, whom was glancing around at the demons glaring at them. Hiei was standing by Kurama, who was on the other side of Yusuke. Kuwabara was on Willow's right. All of them seemed calm except for Kuwabara. His spirit awareness was going crazy with all the demons present.
"I wonder if we'll have to fight against all of these guys on the ship like last time." Yusuke said thoughtfully. Kuwabara snorted.
"Are you going to fall asleep again Urameshi?" he asked.
"If he does, I'll just throw him over the ship's edge. Make him swim to the island." Willow replied, her eyes closed. She didn't move when Yusuke and Kuwabara stared at her in surprise. "No student of mine is going to be lazy just before one of the biggest fights in his lifetime."
"I'll remember that," Yusuke said, scratching his head and looking at her from the corner of his eye.
"Good, I'll do that with all of you if I have to." she opened her eyes when the captain of the ship appeared. All of them got on the ship, not surprised to see the demons mutttering darkly about them.
"Who's going to fight on the ship? Only one team will be allowed to enter the Tournament." Kurama said, watching as the ring lifted from the middle of the ship. Willow glanced at all of them.
"I will, you four need to rest." she said, her voice hard. They knew better than to disagree with her when she used that tone. One member of each team climbed into the ring, Willow being last. She calmly stared at the demons, whom were grinning ruefully.
"Let's get her first,"
"Then we'll fight."
"Let's go!" all the demons launched themselves at her. She put her hands behind her back and waited. Two balls formed in her hands, hidden from view of the demons. When they were about a yard away, she pulled them out and smirked. Each ball split into smaller balls, hovering over her hands. She leapt into the air, holding the balls out and spun around.
"Frozen Hearts!" she shouted, the balls shooting out from her hands and entering all of the demons' hearts. They froze and started gasping and jerking. They sunk to the ground, ice shooting out of their mouths to cover their skin until they were statues. She landed in the middle of the statues, then smirked at the teams. Her energy shot around her and expanded, destroying the statues when it touched them. When everyone looked back, Willow was standing in the middle of an empty ring. She calmly leaped down next to her students, not speaking until she was leaning against the railing. "And that's why you don't mess with me," she smirked humorly at her students, whom were staring at her in surprise. "I've got plenty of techniques to use, don't underestimate me."
"Thankfully, you're on our team." Kurama said, nodding. She shook her head, looking out into the distance.
"GET THEM!" the four males turned to see all the demons running at them. They attacked the demons and destroyed them, slicing them to pieces and using some attacks Willow had taught them. Willow was just watching them, nodding in pleasure that they had grown alot stronger thanks to her teaching. When all of the demons were dead, they leaned against the rail and stared at the small island coming into view.
"Welcome, to the begining of the Dark Tourament." Willow said, staring darkly at the island. The four nodded, eyes locked on the island as well. _______________________________________________________________________
