hi people, chapter 2 is here. and please remember to read and review!
Disclaimer- i don't own any yu yu hakusho characters, but Rei is my
character.
"And here comes Team Togoro!" the charming referee announced boldly, gesturing to the left side of the stadium. The crowd became an uproar, yelling and cheering on the team of what they considered demigods.
The announcer shouted out their names as they made their entrance. Rei smirked as she looked around at the gathering of the demons, maybe a handful of humans here and there. The only thing that bothered her was the fact that their opposing team would be so easy to defeat. Oh well, she heard Team Urameshi would be more of a challenge.
"I'll take on the first demon." Karasu volunteered. For the next few minutes, the referee announced the rules she had heard over and over so much, she could recite it from heart. The other team seemed unsure and not to certain. That was a good thing.
"That girl." Kurama gasped, "She's part of Team Togoro."
"Hmph. Shame her powers are being wasted on them." Yusuke sneered.
"Think about it buffoon. Not anyone can join Team Togoro. She must be quite powerful to be accepted." Hiei pointed out.
"Well I ain't fighting her. You know my codes-" Kuwabara started off nobly.
"Yeah yeah, its wrong to fight a girl." Yusuke finished with a sigh of disgust.
"Better not say anything about her being a girl. So far from my experience, she's very short tempered and you know how irritated fighting women get." Kurama warned.
"The girl has a name, you know. Its Rei Masafumi." Botan said as she popped out of nowhere.
"Where'd you come from!" Yusuke said, jumping back at her sudden appearance.
"I was here the whole time silly." Botan giggled.
"Hold on. The first round is starting." Kurama shushed and leaned forward. The one named Karasu merely touched the goblin's arm, and it suddenly burst. What power, Kurama thought with widened eyes. The round was finished in a matter of minutes, Karasu winning. But he didn't seem to happy. Not at all, he just gave a small shrug and walked off the arena.
"Your turn to be bored to death Rei." Karasu muttered as he walked past her.
Rei casually walked onto the stadium, observing her opponent. Even though the demon had a brave face on, the stench of fear was overcoming her nose. Sweatbeads developed on his forehead as he tried to concentrate on his spirit energy.
"Okay, begin!" the referee stated.
"I'd just like to see how strong you are, so give me your best shot." Rei offered. He may have been strong in spirit energy, but he sure wasn't well stocked in the intelligence department. Slowly raising his arm, he began to murmur his most powerful inacantations he had been perfecting for a few centuries.
"She's just standing there! Why won't she move?" Kuwabara said in frustration.
"Watch." Hiei said, redirecting his attention to Rei.
With a huge fiery explosion, the demon released the force of his energy onto Rei. Smirking as the light faded, the smug look disappeared from his face as he saw the girl standing there, unscathed. He began to babble, "But you were supposed to, to-"
"Burst into flames?" Rei finished for him, "True, that should hurt, but it barely even tickles. Beautiful attack, though. I'll just give you the joy of seeing my little trick." She drew out an average looking blade, which happened to be surrounded by her spirit energy.
"Isn't that like your sword, Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked.
The distance between Rei and the opponent was pretty far apart, but instead of charging forwards, she simply slashed the air. The demon never noticed the powerful yet invisible wave of power which neatly dashed him in two.
"And winner by death is Rei Masafumi!" The referee called out to the audience who was set into yet another uproar.
"She didn't even have to touch him with her sword." Hiei snarled.
Rei laughed to herself as she walked off back to her team. This was hardly what she could call a fight.
Kurama leaned even farther to the point where he almost fell off. The battle continued, each member of the Togoro team winning within a few minutes.
"At least we know what we're up against." Yusuke managed to choke out.
"All thats fascinating Kurama is the fox girl." Botan giggled.
"But I know I saw her somewhere else other than this place." Kurama said as he thought hard. He shook it off and watched the rest of the fights.
"And the winner of the battle is Team Togoro!!" The referee shouted at the top of her lungs.
For a winner of the semifinals, the members of the Togoro team was quite calm and uncaring. Of course, the fighters they faced were simple to defeat. Rei wiped a piece of gunk off her shirt. Slicing that demon in half had gotten disgusting green slime all over her. She spotted the fox demon she bumped into earlier and smirked, "Togoro, I'm taking a different route to the apartment." He nodded, realizing her plan.
"Testing the waters?" he asked.
"I guess so. Its what I call intimidation. Just gotta let them now who's boss." Rei said, malicious grin forming on her face. She walked up the stairs where the audience sat in scattered rows.
"She's coming this way." Kuwabara whispered.
"Of course she is you moron." Hiei said coldly.
She finally reached the top and leaned in towards Kurama, "Next time, I'll make sure its your blood all over my shirt." Satisfied, she went for her apartment.
"That girl's creepy, y'know that?" Yusuke grumbled.

Bubbles surrounded her body as she stepped into the bath. Her blood red hair spread about like crimson silk. A hot bath was relaxing at night. She sank deeper in until she was completely underwater. His name was Kurama. Also referred to as the fucking fox demon. Anger built up in her at the thought of him. But he always gave her a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach. She laughed in her head. Rei sneered at the idea of falling in love. Crap fairytales made up. Finally breaking the surface, the air felt cold against her skin. Maybe she would take a quick nap. It took twelve hours for her to drown, so it didn't matter if she sank underwater. Tomorrow's another day, she sighed.
