*** A/N: Review! Anyhow, I put the Kenshin team in since I like Rurioni Kenshin a lot.

The Guardian Chapter 4
Muna slipped on her emotionless mask when she first opened her eyes and after dressing herself, she looked in her mirror, which was covered in sculpture of her dragons. Her favorite one was craved on the top; it was a black dragon with red flaming eyes, just like her's. However, her powers were weak at the moment and she knew that if she didn't have enough power, she would never be able to send Dragon back. That's what she called her dragon, Dragon. Her powers were weak thanks to Hiei, because he was the one who summoned it causing the gates to slip and for her to try and keep it out of the Earth however she failed in her mission. But as she looked at herself in the mirror, her face and inside she knew she didn't care. Muna picked up her brush and ran it through her thin silky locks of black. The other dragons were craved on the sides and their heads were attached the glass looking as if they were looking at her reflection. There was Kushiko, Aiko, Une, and so many more. Muna knew that if she didn't find out a plan soon, she knew that she would have to fight Hiei and it was against her ruling after he summoned Dragon and unknowingly made her become his slave. Muna clenched her fist and slammed it down onto the dresser table, breaking it in half but leaving the mirror still. "Damn those consuls. There the one who set up the stupid damn ruling."

With her eyes narrowed, she thought back when she was summoned to join her friends in the Dark Tournament by a few black marketers and she had refused when Dragon had told her to go. So in order to find her master she had to go.

"Don't you think you should've told him by now?" Kira's voice sooth a bit to make her at least relax her fist and her eyes to get out of it's narrowed form.

Muna shook her head, "Too dangerous. And after all I'm a slave to no one." She replied evenly in a cold and distant voice.

"Muna, then if your a slave to no one than why not kill the consuls?" Kira asked as he flipped his arms over his chest and crossed them.

"I wish I could, Kira. But Dragon wants to find out if their trusting enough. But I'm sensing their nothing but evil."

Kira said nothing since then Sally barged into Muna's white room with only a bed and a night table with only a lamp propped on it. With her half wooden dresser that Muna broke moments before and Muna's favorite mirror.

"Come on guys, we have to go to the battle in a few minutes." Sally said as she placed both of her hands on her hips. She was dressed in her usual battling outfit, ones with complete different shades of purple. It was her favorite color. She wore a lavender shirt with it's hems and sleeves cut in strange designs and her long dress that went down to her knees with streaks of darker or lighter purple. Her hair was tied up in a side ponytail by her dark purple ribbon. Her shoes as well purple with a lavender phoenix on it.

Kira however wore his usual outfits that her wore no matter what. His brown trench coat and his outfit of black.

Andrew had worn his battling outfit which consists of shades of blue, silver, and green. His green eyes made him wore a dark blue T-shirt with a green dragon scribbled on top and his silver pants and blue and silver trench coat.

However Muna wore her usual outfit that she wore in every situation, her black dress with streaks of purple in the skirt. Her hair in a gray ribbon.

Muna walked as the leader and her teammates trailing behind her.

The Yusuke team suddenly stepped up to them and smiled all expect Hiei. "Hi." Muna said.

"Hey!" Yusuke said.

"Have you come to see the match?" Sally asked.

Kurama smiled and nodded, "We want to see how well you fight so we know what we're up against if we fight you."

Muna nodded and caught sight of Hiei with the corner of her dark pools of her red eyes which looked a lot like blood.

As the team took a seat and looked upon the match, which was about to begin, they saw that the Muna team was nowhere to be seen. First came the Kenshin team which were demons, all males and with claws. After the referee giving their introduction, the Muna team came in. All of a sudden the crowd went wild and started to shout, "Go and kill Muna, Kenshin!"

Their leader smirked and held up a hand at them to signal that he will.

Yusuke looked confused and was about to ask Kurama why but he was already answering his silent question. "They want her to get killed since before she became what ever she is now, she was a demon slayer though a demon herself. She almost killed the entire population of demons in the world and was about to when one of her friends stopped her. After that most of the memories of her killing was distant but her stories of her behavior was marker down. Though no one knows of her being now after that."

Hiei nodded though he didn't say anything about what she had told him. He still had yet to find out about if she had any more lies but his senses were telling him nothing.

As Yusuke turned his head back to the match they could see that the one the referee called Andrew from the Muna team was facing off with the one they call Tiny from the Kenshin team which could change his claws into poison ness knives or axes.

"Oh wow! It looks like Tiny has the upper hand then Andrew does since Tiny is barreling at Andrew with his claws ready to shred him apart! But Andrew is closing his eyes and has planted his feet still!"

"What is he doing? If he's not going to move that claw guy is going to shred him like cloth!" Yusuke shouted holding up a fist. The mask fighter beside him seemed to take no interest into Andrew's movements since she already knew what was about to happen. As well as Hiei who leaned back and closed his eyes, he was only interested in finding out how Muna fought if she decided to fight of course. And if she was going to summon the Dragon of the Darkness Flame or not.

In a few moments as Andrew disappeared and flung a Phoenix arrow into his heart, Tiny fell dead in a second.

"Whoa! Did you guys see that!" Kubura said excitingly.

"And next it is rumored to be said that the leader, Kenshin will face off Muna and has decided that whomever finishes this round finishes them all! So let's see if the great Muna wins or Kenshin!"

"What are they thinking? Kenshin is way stronger than Muna is! She's going to lose!" Kubura shouted angrily thinking that Muna had made a foolish mistake.

"You're wrong." The masked fighter replied out of nowhere. "Muna's only using twenty percent of her power and it gives everyone the sense that she's weaker than she really is."

Kubura blinked before he and Yusuke joined together in a fit of laughter. "Yeah right! She's going to lose for sure! She's so weak! Even a demon kid can beat her up and win so easily."

"It's true." Hiei said. "She's holding back all of her power and giving only out twenty so she gives the impression that she's very weak. So her enemies would under estimate her."

"So then they can catch her off guard?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

Kurama nodded before turning his attention back to the match. It was going to be a long one. Kenshin was up to her level if she only lets out twenty percent but what happens if Muna lets out more?
**** So what happens?????????????????????? Is Muna going to: summon the Dragons? Let out more power? Is Kenshin going to win? Review to find out!
