A/N: * sparkle eyes * I'm on one of the last chapters, I love this story but I can't wait for the next one!!

Well, I'll be replying to the reviews I got, the ones I forgot in Chappie five, and the two I've gotten sense then.

And people, please review, this story has borderlined on not being finished due to the face that I rarely got ANY reviews till around chapter five, Reviews help me to know some one is actually reading, even if it's a short little thing saying something like 'good story, he he, viva la toilet paper.' it lets me know some one is reading, if there are just one or two readers I'm better off just sending chapters the day I make them to people that review.

Oh, and if things are really bad grammar wise odds are it's cause I have a REALLY bad migraine, It hurts like hell and my typing isn't too hot right now, and I almost always have migraines lately so when I'm not cringing in pain I'm doped up on store brand pain killer. X.X I think when I get glasses that will help cause my migraines are cause the way my eyes are.

Well now to the FIC!!

~~~~~~~

The two mages seemed to be having a staring match, right through Juri who was in-between them announcing the match.

His lavender eyes stared into her green, he smirked the moment the battle was announced, pushing Juri out of the rings he set a barrier spell and looked ferociously to Kat. Suddenly he was dressed in an odd outfit, clock insignias all over it, and Kat, was now a fox demon, "What the fuck?" She yelled jumping back, the whole barrier was lit with a yellow light.

"This is what we are three years from now, if we live that long, or rather if YOU live that long." He said smirking a brown cloak flowed in artificial wind.

"I was right! You're a time mage! Tell me your name." She said growling.

" Tictoc."

Kat fell over, "YOUR NAME IS TICTOCK?! THAT NAME IS HORRIBLE FOR A FIGHTER!!!!"

Tictoc sniffled disdainfully.

"I mean it's like some stupid ass pun designed by a 14 year old maniac!"

Tictock growled, he shot forward suddenly an odd staff in hand, Kat swiftly stepped aside letting him hit the barrier.

"Itai."

Kat smirked. "I just figured out all those stupid clocks on your clothing, you went ahead three WEEKS not years you ameture."

He meeped.

"Now die you faker." Seconds later there was a huge explosion from inside the boys body. She had summoned boom needles within the boy's body.

She smirked as blood splattered everywhere and the barrier went down.

"Whoa! The barrier has gone down as quickly as it went up! There is no trace of team Yami Mahou's entry in this fight, but from the blood all over Yoh and the arena floor we can safely assume he's dead." Juri said carefully getting back in the ring.

Kat smirked seeing the last member of the team, they had lost one of there members and their substitute all ready.

In the stands the brown and blonde haired boy looked onward, His blue eyes showing true fear of what was about to happen. "She has no idea what he's going to do to her, she's completely defenseless! I think only the Bakudan attack could even phase my brother, Damn it girl, if you want to live you'd better defeat my brother, he's out for your magic, and that of every other mage alive, if you are Akaitsuki's reincarnation...." his wings shifted uneasily under his brown cloak. " Yukiki Kathrine, Good luck."

The Leader of Yami Mahou stepped into the ring, giving off such a tremendous magic power Kat held back a gasp of pain, Majick.

The leader's red hair flew in the wind, it was almost the exact shade of Kat's, so where his half gold and half green eyes. He was dressed in the robes of one that partakes in the forbidden magics, Death curse, Dark thunder, Black magic, and The magic of stealing souls. The runes on the deep brown robes stood for the lives he had taken, thousands of tiny black kanji written on each sleeve alone, His red hair cascaded from his hood to his thighs, He grinned evilly at Kat making the girl so scared she shook. For some reason everyone in the stands where silent, unbeknownst to them was that the reason involved the darkest magics known to man kind.

Hiei and Kurama looked ill at ease. Kurama had studied about mages whilst Kat had been training, he knew all about the runes on the man's clothing, and knew they where written with blood, a technique used to steal a dead person's magic.

Juri backed away, " T-team leaders face off, Y-y-Yoh versus Y-y-y-Yukiki, s-start!" Her voice stuttered.

"Summon your weapon girl, I'd hate to not even give you a chance for a five minute prayer before you die." The man said coldly, his green eyes staring into her own.

She closed her eyes momentarily, then opened them showing complete blood thirst, allowing her darkened instincts to take over. She summoned the blood star scythe, it's blade and handle glowing black and red with the power rushing in her own blood.

The male smirked.

Kuwabara, Yuusuke, and the masked fighter ran up to Kurama and Hiei, the moment they looked to the ring Yuusuke gasped. "Holy shit."

The two mages looked like mirrors, Kat a younger, more pure, and feminine version of the male mage that towered two feet over her own hight.

"Kat once mentioned that her father was really some random person her mother slept with right?" Yuusuke asked already knowing the answer.

Kurama nodded.

"Do you think this is him?" Yuusuke's voice was shaking with the sheer idea, The little blue spirit beast on his head was shaking aswell.

They all nodded silently, whilst not afraid, they weren't exactly comfortable, the black magic emitted from the man would unnerve even Toguro.

The man known as Yukiki smirked, summoning a larger black scythe from a black summoning portal. Less than a second later their blades where locked, neither giving less than their utmost strength, Both locked in their own mental battle. Kat was the first to break away, Jumping up thirty feet in the air. he smirked and jumped higher brining himself down upon her, both of them ramming the ground, him landing hard with his knees on her chest all air leaving her lungs.

Kat gasped for air, the whole crowd so quiet they could hear the choked sound.

Kurama cringed, as did the boy in the stands.

Kat summoned herself from beneath the man to the other side of the ring Chocking in air. He rushed forward again Scythe in hand, slashing right through her side, the scythe sending electricity through her body. A Blood curdling scream of pain rang through the building. Kat held her sides, actually attempting to cover the handles of her scythe with her own blood, and making sure her injured hand was thoroughly soaked as well.

She looked up at the male mage, blood dripping from her mouth, her eyes looking so evil it was insane. "So Tamren Yukiki, You've come to fight me at last, Never underestimate the smallest rose, it's blossom is slow and tedious but eventually it will relise it's petals from their long sleep, so vibrant it will be if taken care of properly, it will be strong as the large blossoms, Maybe stronger still." He grinned nodding to her words.

"You know of me I see." He said coldly.

"Considering the fact that I am not The one you started this fight with yes, I am Karena Houshirei, or rather, Akaitsuki, yes I know of you, Time for the smallest rose to blossom, time for it to show it's true strength, I am not the one you started this battle with, nor will I be the one to end it, I'm just lending my power." A voice strangely cold said as it came from Kat's mouth.

Kuwabara hid behind Hiei, "She's been possessed!"

In the stands Yukiki Kazehane stood, aware now of the truth, Kat wasn't Akaitsuki's reincarnation, She was the youngest of the Yukiki curse, She was the instrument that could be used to the dark spirit's power.

Kat's eyes turned back to the way they where at the start of he fight, only with tears falling from them, "Karena." She whispered before using her scythe to stab a large hole in her un wounded hand, blood pouring out from it, her magic increasing drastically. "Here we fight, alike but different, here we see how the curse affects each of us." Kat stood up strait and gripped her scythe rushing forward at the exact moment Tamren did.

Their blades crashed into each other, The red blade of the blood star scythe shattered as though it where glass, Shards of metal slicing into Kat's face and shoulders, then the blade came down hard on her chest, an eternity seemed to pass for every one in a matter of seconds as Kat fell to the ground, a scythe lodged into her chest, her breath slowing to a near stop till....
