"Begin!" Yusuke said once they were all in the ring.
"Hey, you loser! You stupid, silent, screwed up man!" Vegeta yelled.
Legato stared. "I don't have time for you," he said in that emotionless voice. "I've got a world to conquer and a humanoid typhoon to drive insane."
Vegeta's limbs all bent in every direction and pretty soon there was a Saiyan pretzel in Vegeta's corner.
"Well that one was short!" Yusuke said. "Legato wins!"
"You... are not... winner..." Vegeta said, twitching. Legato walked over and kicked him in the head.
"Well, that's final," Yusuke said when Vegeta passed out. Legato walked out of the ring and back into the waiting room. "Since that one only last twenty seconds, the next fight will begin immediately! Would Domon Kashu and Hiei Jaganshi come to ring please! Bring your coaches if you want people in the corners yelling at you!"
"You might as well come. You'll get a better view, anyway. Just don't distract me," Hiei said, directing that more towards Shadow as he walked toward the ring. Kurama and Shadow tagged behind him. Domon followed with Rain.
"Okay, people of the audience! The final match of the first round begins in like, two seconds! The competitors are Hiei Jaganshi," Yusuke said, pointing at Hiei, "and Domon Kashu!" Yusuke pointed to Domon. "Ready? Begin your insults!" Yusuke jumped out of the ring.
"Hey, Jaganshi! I don't know you, but it's just fair to warn you I'm the best Gundam pilot around!" Domon said, pointing at Hiei.
"Yes, well I don't pilot Gundams, but I'm sure I'd be better than you," Hiei said dryly.
"Yeah right, you lousy short loser! What are some of your best accomplishments?! I've won almost every single fight I've been in!!!"
"I have won every single fight I've been in, except one," Hiei said. "And that was by accident to this twit here." He pointed at Kurama.
"You lost to a girl!?" Domon asked, laughing.
"What?! No, the redhead, you idiot! Not Shadow!"
"That's what I meant! They're girls, aren't they?" Domon said.
"I'M NOT A GIRL I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW!!!" Kurama yelled angrily. "Hiei, beat him up for me."
"Yeah, yeah, like you need to tell me that..."
"How many people have you killed, Hiei Jaganshi?" Domon asked.
"I lost count."
"Loser. The best kind of fighter is one who can win without killing," Domon answered.
"Oh, are you the honor code type?" Hiei asked, disgusted. "You remind me too much of Kuwabara. Your IQ's are about the same too..."
"Kuwabara... Is that the guy who fought earlier and lost in one blow?"
"Yup."
"I'M NOTHING LIKE THAT LOSER!!!"
"Right. Let's fight. Insults are just a waste of time," Hiei said. He reached back and grabbed the hilt of his katana, which he had strapped to his back today.
"Okay," Domon agreed, drawing his sword. "PREPARE TO MEET MY WRATH!!!"
"Riiiiiiiight," Hiei said. "I'll allow you the first attack."
"You're asking for it," Domon said. He charged toward Hiei and swung his sword down. Hiei blocked with his katana and their blades locked together. Domon and Hiei were glaring at each other. Hiei was silent. His teeth were clenched, but, unlike Domon, he wasn't groaning and moaning and yelling and screaming and making those horrible sound effects. Suddenly, Hiei got a dark purple aura and sent Domon flying backwards into the ropes. The Gundam fighter fell flat on his face and laid there for a count of 6 before he started getting up. It was 9 before he was completely on his feet and ready to fight Hiei more.
"Idiot. You can't beat me that easily," Domon growled.
"Ha! You're weak." Hiei charged this time, leapt into the air and brought his sword down at Domon's head. Domon managed to block in time. Hiei managed to stay floating in the air for a minute before he kicked Domon in the face and put a deep slice across his chest.
"Domon!" Rain cried, seeing Domon flat on his face with blood seeping out from under him. Yusuke started the ten count. Domon was out cold for over ten counts. Some paramedics came in and carried him out on a stretcher.
"Hiei, you didn't kill him did you?!" Kurama asked as Hiei jumped out of the ring.
"Of course not. I injured him," Hiei said arrogantly, as if it's obvious he wouldn't kill.
"Go Hiei! You showed that lousy arrogant loser!" Shadow said happily. "And he didn't even hit you once!"
Hiei gave her a strange look that she couldn't quite interpret. Back in the ring, Yusuke was announcing that there would be a slight delay in the next round due to the fact that there were three competitors and they needed four to have two even matches. Hiei, Shadow, and Kurama made their way back to the waiting room. Just as they closed the door, Yusuke came flying in.
"Guys, we got a problem!!!" Yusuke said, almost knocking Shadow over.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, HOT SHOT!" she screamed into the microphone, broadcasting it over the whole stadium. Yusuke looked at her, pulling his sunglasses down his nose to look at her in proper colors instead of darkened.
"Turn the mike off, Yusuke," Hiei suggested dryly.
"Right!" Yusuke pressed the switch and the mike went dead.
"Now what's your problem?"
"Our problem, Hiei. See, Legato, Saito, and you are not enough to have even one-on-one battles. The rules state that there cannot be group battles. We need a fourth fighter or we'll have to have one fighter have two battles in a row. But that's against the rules. We need a fourth fighter!" Yusuke said. "You shouldn't have scared everyone away!"
"I didn't do it!" Hiei said. "That freak Legato did!"
"Well who says I was talking to you?"
"You were looking straight at me, Yusuke. You usually look at who you're talking to."
"Oh, yeah. Well so?" Yusuke said. He turned to Legato. "You silvery-blue haired freak! You scared them away! You broke their arms! You scared them away!"
"They were simply cowards," Legato said, slightly amused. "I didn't think there was much point in having such weak things here. I spared the strongest."
"You spared Kuwabara," Hiei said. "I think your idea of strong is scrambled a bit."
"I spared you as well, Hiei. Does that mean I'm still... scrambled?" Legato asked. Hiei looked away, aware that Legato had made a good point and quite annoyed about it.
"Anyway, if you guys don't come up with a fourth fighter soon, we're doomed!" Yusuke said. "Kurama, can you fight?! I mean, you can fight, can't you?!"
"Do I have the arrogant attitude that is required for this?" Kurama asked.
"No..." Yusuke said miserably.
"Wait. I know someone who can. But that might not---" Kurama said, but Yusuke interrupted.
"Who? You're a lifesaver! No, not the candy. But anyway, who is it?! Go get him!" Yusuke said, jumping around like a caged monkey.
"Like I was saying, it might not be wise. Youko can be quite... violent..." Kurama said.
"Youko?! You can't have Youko fight! Youko will kill whoever he fights!" Hiei said.
"Well as long as he doesn't have to fight you, it's okay. Besides, it'll just be one round," Kurama said, shrugging.
"Oh, good, whatever! Just so long as we can continue the competition!" Yusuke said. "I'll go tell the audience." He ran out and jumped into the ring. "Hey everybody! We can continue! We've got somebody to fight for one round, just to even up the competitors! Would Legato Bluesummers and Youko Kurama please report to the ring now so we can continue our battles!"
"Hey, you loser! You stupid, silent, screwed up man!" Vegeta yelled.
Legato stared. "I don't have time for you," he said in that emotionless voice. "I've got a world to conquer and a humanoid typhoon to drive insane."
