Episode 5
Plague's Return
"Is everyone ready for the tournament to start?" Koto said twirling her hair, which was up in a fashion. She blinked her shiny eyes, and swung the microphone in her hand. "The first match of the dark tournament, Team TaiHaiTai versus Team Leastinae, will begin!" she shouted.
The roars and cries of demons all around, filled the air. "Let the fight begin foxy!" came a demon's quickened shout.
"WE WANT TO SEE BLOOD AND CARNAGE!!" a snake demon cried out from the stands.
"Well without further ado, Team Leastinae!!!" Koto shouted.
A brush of wind pasted the stadium's field. Hidden from the over hang on their side, Team Leastinae made their way out. A scruffy looking guy, who looked rather old, led the group.
"Wow, all these people," the young girl to his right said.
"Yea sis! This is exactly like I said it would be, didn't I?" the young boy said.
The roar from the crowd was huge in response to their approach. "Well now, let's see what this tournament can dish out," the slim girl with a baseball spoke.
Kuwabara slammed his fist down from his seat, with Keiko, Shizuru, Botan, Atsuko, and Yusuke. Hiei and Kayal had wandered away, and Kurama went up top for a better view. "I recognize that girl; doesn't she go to our school?" Kuwabara asked.
Yusuke squinted, "I don't know, but hey have you been checking out other girls? What do you think Yukina will say?"
Kuwabara smashed Yusuke on the head, "Don't you say that about Yukina!"
Shizuru smashed Kuwabara on the head, "Sshhh, bro, we're trying to watch the fights. Unless you want to die anytime soon, you better just sit tight. Anyways, she doesn't seem human."
Team Leastinae finally made their way to stadium, but stopped as the girl with the baseball bat looked around the stadium. She darted her eyes back and forth, paying little attention to where she was going. She tripped on the first step of the field, landing head first next to her bat. She scratched her head, and stood up in full force.
"Umm… Kabul, is it?" Koto asked the guy in front.
Kabul stood with a huge weapon tied to his back. He wore stunning black braces that fit his hands perfectly, not to mention the addition of two very different eye colors. A striking dark blue tunic, along with loose black pants, was his fitting attire for the event. A small dragon sparkled from his wrist.
"What do you want fox girl? I'm here to kill the other team, now where the hecks are they?" Kabul asked darkly.
Koto tired to smile, but failed in her attempt. "Umm, yea." Koto turned around, and pointed at the other end of the stadium. "And now, the team you've all been awaiting. Team TaiHaiTai!!" Koto cried out, as the stadium cheered with anticipation.
After a few second, Koto scratched her head. "Um, hold on everyone, the carnage will begin in a minute. Ah, once again, Team TaiHaiTai!!" she shouted. The microphone echoed her response to the tons of fans. The various demons of the audience darted their heads around, trying to find the team members, who were expected to walk from underneath the overhang.
"Well now, this is a bit odd. It seems the other team hasn't arrived yet. Well this is the last call for Team TaiHaiTai to come out!" Koto's ears perked up. She gave a heavy sigh, 'Well great, what a way to start the tournament.'
"Well it seems that Team TaiHaiTai has failed to show, so I guess the first match won't even happen. I know this is odd folks, but it seems that the other team is no where in sight," Koto said. She shrugged staring up at the committee's viewing area.
Suddenly the sound of the committee's alert came over the stadium. Everyone looked up, to hear the rush of words from the committee. "Team TaiHaiTai will not be disqualified. They have already arrived; therefore the tournament will start accordance to the rules based on section three point four five."
The straightforward female voice surprised even Koto, who was hesitant at the committee's decision.
"Um, well I guess if the committee says to continue, and if they say the team is here somewhere. But I'm still confused, where are they?" she asked.
"Damn, ye' loud!" came a stern male voice behind her. She whirled around, coming face to face with a person in a white robe.
In the VIP area, seats for the team owners were distributed evenly. The business and crime lords had their seats in the next room. Saiyuki quietly sat down, with Vorea'sesaki standing behind him. A man with a wrinkled mustache and a thick cigar hanging from his mouth spoke loudly. "Hahaha, my Team Leastinae is unstoppable, especially that Kabul."
A figure in a dark green uniform sat next to Saiyuki. He breathed heavily and wore a number of medals on his general's uniform. "General Shikimato, what do you plan on doing with only one member?" came the loud voice from the wrinkled mustached man. "My team will whoop you, eh!"
The general was not paying attention to anything the man said, but focused only on his team's arrival. "Well now, you did pick 'The Five'?" Saiyuki asked.
General Shikimato grinned with a huge set of somewhat yellow teeth, "No more, no less. With my control of the power, there is no other."
Vorea'sesaki crossed his hands, watching the scene unfold. In the corner, the figure in the brown coat, coughed lightly.
Yusuke kicked the back of Kuwabara's head, "Quiet! I think the match is going to start."
"Don't sound too excited Urameshi!" Kuwabara said. "We've got to survive our own fight coming up."
On another side of the stadium, Garland walked up the aisles. "One of these is our seats," he said. He noticed the cheery voices of Charl and Saluna, and proceeded to walk toward them. He found his way, passing a demon whose hair was on fire, and sat down next to his team.
"Where have you been?" Lea asked sitting closer to Garland.
"Come on, it'll only be for a second!" Kalinka argued.
"It's my shoulders!" Charl complained. Kalinka was trying to convince Charl to let her get on her shoulders so she could look around the stadium.
"Ha, just enjoy your front row seats," Saluna said snapping at Kalinka. Garland smiled, and nearly crossed his legs.
Lea edged next to Garland, "What are you thinking about?"
"Our fight coming up, as should you," Garland said.
Lea pouted and crossed her hands, "Fine then, and let's worry about our next fight."
"Our next what?"
"Our next, ugh!" Lea said. She suddenly burst out laughing, while Garland turned his attention to the fight at hand.
Two women sat speaking quietly to one another. They both had their eyes turned toward Team Mibu. "They're easy targets, after them, we'll kill Team Urameshi. Especially Yusuke for what he did," one of the women said.
"What did Yusuke do?" the other asked.
The first woman hit the second one, "You idiot, he blew up the castle."
"Uh, I thought we blew up the castle."
The first woman hit the second woman again, "Stupid."
Koto nearly fell down from the shock, "Team TaiHaiTai?"
The figure in the white robe kicked the ground, "Eh, close enough." He positioned himself across from Kabul and the rest of Team Leastinae.
"So I guess Team TaiHaiTai has one fighter only?" Koto asked awkwardly.
"At least two," said a female voice from behind Koto.
She turned and nearly screamed from the appearance of a second figure in a white robe. "Where are all you coming from?" Koto said shockingly.
"Well all the places I can think of are rather dark and disgusting," spoke a cheery female voice from behind the first female in the white robe.
"AAAHHH!" Koto said falling back onto her butt. "There's the third member of Team TaiHaiTai, I guess."
"The bunch of freaks have some sort of power to magically appear!" a dark green one-eyed demon in the audience shouted.
"You idiot, we would have seen them appear!" came his buddy, a purple rock beast, sitting next to him.
A fourth white robed figure appeared next to Koto. Koto screamed after getting a raspberry by the fourth member. "AAAHHHH!" Koto screamed falling down again. "This is some kind of joke, right?" Koto said. "Umm, I think all of Team TaiHaiTai is here."
Koto turned around and counted the number of figures. "Well that seems like four, well, let's start with the teams deciding the terms of the fights."
"Team leader, please step forward!" Koto shouted. Kabul stepped forward swerving back and forth with the large weapon upon his back. The four figures in white robes didn't move an inch, all focused mainly at the other team. When none stepped forward, Koto took her chance to speak up again. "Will the team captains please step forward!" she said again.
None of the white robes stepped forward, making Kabul mad, very quickly. "Now then, which one of you is the team captain?" Koto asked.
"Too scared to show their face in front of the likes of me!" Kabul shouted groggily.
"I suppose you mean me?" came a stern female voice from under yet another white robe. The figure stood right next to Koto.
Koto spoke up to her microphone, "In a surprising entrance, Team TaiHaiTai, all dressed in white robes, has apparently appeared out of nowhere."
"As always the team leaders will determine the terms of the fighting. If both leaders can't come to an agreement, then we'll revert to fights, one on one. Team Captains, please decide the terms of the match," Koto clarified.
Kabul stepped forward and smiled, "Two on two matches, all right with you?"
The woman under the white robe, who was the team captain, spoke up. "Two, two on two matches. Then we kill you."
Kabul shrugged, "Yea sure, whatever you say."
The woman in the white robe walked back to the rest of her group. Two of the white robed figures stepped forward, while the girl named Kitty, with the unsettling spaghetti straps, stood next to the girl with the baseball bat.
"Well now, the first match of the Dark Tournament is about to begin!" Koto shouted. "Team Leastinae, Kitty and Ace-ini Tizaiga." Koto turned to face the white robed figures, "Team TaiHaiTai, two white robed figures!"
"Let the match begin!" Koto shouted with the acknowledging siren from the upper parts of the stadium.
"Easy one for us, eh Kitty?" Ace-ini Tizaiga said. Her dark purple vest sparkled with gold lining, not to mention the loose baggy pants she wore. She huddled to the side of the ring, swinging her bat, as if she was warming up for a big baseball game.
Kitty's body was surging with some energy; forming it into a ball. It looked like a spiked mass, that dripping with a dark purple dye. "Well now, who's ready for the little old poisonous blast?" she asked determinedly. Kitty's black hair was shiny from the orange bangs, but fit perfectly with her black boots and gloves. She had a short katana upon her back.
Ace-ini Tizaiga shortened her swing, and pulled back with her leather shoes and bandaged legs. She swung high with her slim and light skin, while capturing the perfect hit. The two white robed figures nodded at one another, and a flash of pink hair came from the one in front.
Ace-ini Tizaiga swung wildly, sending a gust of wind at the white robed figures. The white robed figure in front jumped in the air, landed next to her team member. The one with the flash of pink hair, leaned down to speak to the other, "Beelbal, you sure you can handle it?"
Beelbal, who had produced a dagger from her under the robe, leaned in. "Well now, it depends if you, Reika, can handle the other one."
They both nodded, while Reika pulled out a curved bladed staff on right side. She swung it in an ordinary fashion, jumping in the air. "Watch for the bat!" she cried out.
Beelbal, in her white robe, threw the dagger head on at Kitty, and jumped to the side. Kitty smiled, "Nothing but my sweet poisonous energy ready to cut through its targets!"
Koto's eyes swung back and forth as the match was under way. "Well now, after a startling appearance and introduction, the two white robed figures are dodging the blasts by both Ace-ini Tizaiga and Kitty. Kitty's poisonous energy blasts seem to be cutting through everything it touches, except its targets."
Kitty ran forward toward Reika, who spun in a circle, twirling her blade, and cutting ground underneath her. Kitty fired her blast that shook the ring, aimed directly at Reika. Koto flashed her eyes, "Oh no, it looks like the white robed girl took the blast full on, could this spell the end for team TaiHaiTai?"
The dust cleared, showing Reika behind Beelbal, who had taken the blast full on. "Odd," came Kitty's response.
Kitty powered up again, and created an even larger ball of energy. The dripping of poison, spilled out in front of her. "Now you die!" she shouted racing forward with her black boots and black gloves. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
Beelball, under her robe, didn't move an inch, while Reika stepped to the side. The large thunderous blast shook the entire ring, with the ongoing cheers from the demon infested crowd. "I think the white robed freaks are dead!!" shouted of a demon.
The dust cleared from the blast to reveal Beelbal standing in precisely the same position. Kitty turned her head, "Um, did you see her move Ace-ini Tizaiga?"
Ace-ini Tizaiga frowned, "She didn't move an inch, but where's the other one?"
Kitty's face stiffened up, "You withstood my blast! But it can cut through anything!!" Beelbal threw a dagger at lightening speed at Kitty. Kitty dove to the side, getting cut from the object on her right leg. She looked down at the gash the dagger had left.
"You!!!" she shouted. She noticed the dagger was no longer in sight. "What happened to the dagger?"
Koto's eyes rose, "In a startling turn of events, two powerful blasts from Kitty have hit Beelbal Hatzeek head on. But she withstood the blast, like a hard-headed brick house!" The surging roar of the demons from the crowd began to pick up.
Koto looked around, "But it seems odd that the other girl in the white robe, Reika, has apparently disappeared." Koto dodged a wind blast from Ace-ini Tizaiga. "And Ace continues to let off blasts of wind."
Reika, in her white robe, appeared alongside Ace-ini Tizaiga. Ace-ini Tizaiga screamed, "AAAHHH!" Reika swung her bladed staff, only to be stopped by the baseball bat. "HA! Now your blade is stuck in my bat!"
Reika ducked a quick uppercut by Ace-ini Tizaiga. She leaned back, sending her foot into the chin of Ace-ini Tizaiga. Reika pulled her blade out, in time to catch Ace-ini Tizaiga poised for another attack. She formed a ball of energy out of her hand. "Try this on for size!"
Ace-ini Tizaiga leaned back and hit the energy ball, aimed at Reika. Reika's white robed figure, flipped in the air, and rode down, what seemed like wind stream. She landed softly with a breeze, behind Ace-ini Tizaiga, and kicked her quickly in the back. Ace-ini Tizaiga went down, face first, into the ground. Her bat flopped down alongside her.
Kitty's body twisted in the air, sending off another energy blast, which narrowly missed Beelbal's body. She flipped in the air, and threw another knife that cut Kitty along the cheek. Beelbal laughed strangely, "Hahalalalahahaha!"
Kitty's eyes widened, when she fell down next to the mangled body Ace-ini Tizaiga. Kitty pulled out her katana to block the curved blade of Reikas'. Reika twirled her blade with the flick of her wrist, slicing the top tip of the Katana. Kitty's eyes continued to widen from the shock.
'These people aren't ordinary fighters!' she thought in her head. Kitty turned around to meet the fist of Beelbal, which sent her flying in the air, smashing into the edge of the ring. Kitty wiped her lip, and raced quickly over to Ace-ini Tizaiga, to regroup.
Beelbal and Reika assembled themselves next to one another, still draped in the strange white robes. Koto raced over the center, "It seems the hardcore action has stopped while the teams are figuring strategies." Koto changed her expression to an awkward one, "Since when did this tournament become like a slow thought out chess game?!"
Ace-ini Tizaiga smiled, picking up her bat. "I've got it!" she cried out.
"What have you got?" Kitty asked impatiently.
"While the stupid one continues to giggle, you keep creating poisonous energy blasts, and I'll hit them like baseballs, deal?" Ace-ini Tizaiga said.
Kitty's eyes shrunk down "Got it!" Kitty leaned back charging up her energy blasts. Ace-ini Tizaiga took the time to flip her bat around twice, and squint in one eye, preparing to aim and hit the energy blasts.
The two white figures turned to one another and nodded, while Kitty stepped forward. "It's the top of the ninth, and the pitcher winds up!" Kitty shouted tossing her energy balls at Ace-ini Tizaiga.
Ace-ini Tizaiga smiled, "Batter up!" She leaned back, prepared to swing at the enormous ball of energy.
Koto held her hand over her eyes, doing the play by play as it unfolded. "Ace-ini Tizaiga has hit the energy blast, and it's a long fly ball! Look out it's coming this way!" Koto yelled jumping out of the ring, to her safe quarters.
Ace-ini Tizaiga leaned back, and swung with all her might, sending the energy blast high in the air. It came down with a furry, while the two white robed figures jumped in the opposite sides. "HAHAHA! BOMBS AWAY!" she cried out.
Kitty tossed energy blasts as quickly as she could form them. Ace-ini Tizaiga was right there, sending off blast after blast, to every part of the stadium. "It seems the pair from Team Leastinae has taken a huge offensive, sending off energy blasts, like they were exploding fireworks!!" Koto shouted ducking a blast zooming past her.
Vorea'sesaki snapped his fingers, creating a strange energy shield on the outside of the VIP area and tournament committee area. Saiyuki nodded, "Thank you friend."
Kurama watched from the upper ledge of the stadium. A puff of smoke crept toward Kurama, whose focus changed direction immediately. Marionette blew a puff of smoke from his cigarette, and stood quietly near Kurama. "Ah, you from earlier," Kurama said noticing his same dark outfit.
Marionette coughed lightly, turning his eyes to the stadium. Kurama did the same, catching notice of the barrage of blasts, causing the light show; that had died down.
Koto looked around, noticing the absence of a few demons and parts of the stadium. "It seems the light show has come to a halt, especially since it now appears the pair has run out of energy."
Kitty scrunched up her face, breathing hard, "I think, I'm out of energy!"
Ace-ini Tizaiga frowned, "AH! I wasted mine on energy put into my swing and being able to hit the blasts!"
The white robed figures began to laugh loudly, sending a chill down both of the competitor's spine. Kabul scratched his chin, "Worthless idiots!"
The brother and sister duo outside the ring stepped back slightly, "Uh-oh!"
Kitty just noticed the energy surrounding Beelbal, in her white robe. "Wait a second; I think she's been manipulating my energy. All those misses, oh no!"
Two daggers appeared from underneath her robe. Reika smiled, "Brilliance!" She waved her hands in front of her, creating a strange arrow like figure.
"It seems Reika has formed some sort of arrow in front of her. Could this spell the end for Team Leastinae?" Koto said struggling to get back in the ring.
Reika waved her curved blade, "Batter's up, right?" Beelbal tossed the knives in the air, while Reika's arrow remained in front of her. She leaned back and lifted her front leg, just as the knives came falling down. With three quick swishes, she had swung her blade, hitting all objects.
In quick succession, the two knives aimed straight for Kitty, who never stood a chance. The first knife went straight through her right arm, causing her to scream in pain. The second knife slashed across her thighs, causing another shriek of pain from Kitty. She collapsed to the ground, in sure pain.
The arrow that Reika created and hit, struck Ace-ini Tizaiga in the arm, but she caught it before it could cause any damage. "I caught it!" Ace-ini Tizaiga shouted. The sudden surge of thunder and a swirl of wind caused a massive thunder strike. The electricity created a small explosion, ending up with Ace-ini Tizaiga, face down in the ground.
Koto smiled, "Wow, what a thrilling ending! Three hits, two knives, one arrow, one thunderous explosion, and two shrieks of pain!! OH baby!" Koto turned to notice the two bodies down and held her hand up in the air.
"Guess I better count now, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8," Koto said.
Kabul sneezed, "Bunch of idiots teamed up with me! Don't fail!" He looked angrily at the brother and sister duo. They both nodded, out of the fear of what they're punishment might be.
"9 and 10! The winner of the match, Reika and Beelbal!!" she shouted. The two white robed figures returned to their spots, amongst the others. The leader stood in her white robe, out in front.
Koto turned toward the screen, watching it updated with the fight's listing. Koto smiled, "Well, the score is 1 to nothing, and now the next fighters, please step up to the ring!"
Two more white robes, except the one white robed figure in front, made their way to the ring. The brother sister duo, jumped up onto the ring. "Don't screw it up!" Kabul said.
The male voice from under the white robe spoke out loud, "Trash."
"Excuse me?!" Earu Sekito shouted. His young body was a little taller than his sister's. His elf ears pointed upward, with his light tan skin, and scarlet red bandana. He wore a thick black short sleeve shirt that dangled along his midnight blue jeans. They shined with the dark flames that ran along the sides.
He flexed a very thin bladed sword, which was very long in length. Next to Earu, stood his sister, Mirae, young and still having point elf ears. She wore a tank top and bandana that slipped over her eyes every once in a while. Her dark blue hair, reflected with scarlet tips, next to Earu's dark blue hair that had fragments of silver all the way down.
Earu flexed his toes, while Mirae flexed her claws, thin and sharp. "This one is ours brother!" she said.
Her brother nodded, "We may have lost our family during the war, but we know what warfare is like!"
The two white robes spoke to one another. "Well now Kale, do you suppose I get the girl, or would you prefer her?" the female voice said, shining a wrap on her left hand. Both hands had pointy claws, all aimed in the other direction.
Kale, the male figure under the white robe, flashed a pair of sunglasses under the hood. "Well now Sunset, depends which puts up a better fight," Kale said.
Sunset's flashy smile brightened up the air. "Money's money, right?"
"That's what we're paid for," Kale said with a hearty laugh. "Just taking out trash."
Koto nodded, "Let the second match go ahead. Team Leastinae, Earu and Mirae Sekito; Team TaiHaiTai, Kale and Sunset!"
Earu raised his sword, while Mirae's star like scar on her forehead lighted up. "Together, with our combined powers, no one can beat up!" Earu said. Mirae nodded in a shy like fashion.
Koto raised her hand, "Begin!" The shouts of demons all around, hyped up with the start of the match. Earu flicked his wrist, which sent his flexible and thin blade, soaring around the two white robed figures. Mirae leaped in the air, with her claws sprung out, ready to slash at anything in her way.
The two white robed figures never moved, until the last second. Kale's upper hood caught Earu's second flick of his wrist, slicing a small part out of the top of it. Mirae's skirt fluttered in the wind, scratching the side of Sunset's sleeve. Both the brother and sister, glanced forward, and leaped back to their original positions.
"See, nothing to it!" Earu said.
"Concentrate brother, we have a little ways to go!" Mirae said hopping in the air. The two white robed figures remained in their stance, never moving an inch.
Mirae's mind raced, 'Perhaps, this is some sort of trap.' She continued to hop around, at a normal speed, but not extending her powers to all points. Her brother continued to follow the flicks of his wrist, hitting parts of the robe, but never causing any foreseen damage.
The sword came to a stop above Koto's side, being pulled back in quick succession. Koto grimaced, while Mirae's claws dug along the ring, to stop her persistent movement. Koto watched the two white robed figures, continuing to breath and act as normal, with no movement.
The same flash of the red and thin sunglasses caught Koto's eyes. Her eyes blinked, while she brought the microphone closer to her lips. "Well now, what an amazing thrill of action. The hard concentrating Mirae slashed her claws, and Earu flicked his long range sword, but they struck nothing but the white robe. And what on earth is Team TaiHaiTai waiting for? All they're doing is standing and doing nothing!" Koto shouted.
Demon's uproars surrounded the stadium, with Koto's words. "What happened to promise of death and mayhem?" Koto asked.
Kale nodded at Sunset, "Let's get this done with I have no patience for trash."
Earu shook his fist, "I am not trash!" He flicked his wrist, striking at Kale on the left. Kale's white robed figure jumped to the side, but that was what Earu expected.
'I knew you'd dodge that way!' Earu thought to himself.
"Now I've got you!" Earu shouted at Kale, flicking his wrist. The sword sliced right through sleeve of the white robe, cutting off a section.
Earu flicked his wrist again, with the thin blade heading toward Kale again. "This ends now!" Earu said in a shout. The sword slashed at Kale, who vanished in a swift movement. Earu stood in disbelief, as the sword was pulled back in his direction, with Kale, in his white robe, standing on the base of it.
Kale held out his palm, from under the robe, and aimed directly at Earu. "Donkawa Suko!" Kale shouted from under his hood. The thrust of his hand forward, emitted the sharp wind rush that dispersed after hitting Earu's right arm. Earu grabbed for his arm, which emitted a sharp crack
"We all now what that beautiful sound is!" Koto said. "The cracking of bones sounds more like sweet music to my ears!" Demons from the stadium cheered.
Earu held to his shoulder blade, which made his arm appear to be out of its socket. "Donkawa Suko!" Kale shouted again, from behind Earu. The blast brushed against Earu's right leg, causing a shrieking snap. Earu passed out on the ground, with his leg slumped, broken at the core.
"Donkawa Suko," Kurama said under his breath. "It sends a burst of wind that tears the nerves and bones at the hilts." Marionette puffed on his smoke that followed a smooth breeze through the air.
"Lucky guy," Marionette spoke under his breath. Kurama's eye rose after the comment, turning to focus to the match once again.
Mirae raced over to console her brother, who had passed out from the pain. "Brother!" she shouted.
Reika shrugged her shoulders, "If it makes him feel any better, he didn't die?"
"That's optimism?" Beelbal said sarcastically.
"I'm next!" Sunset said. She pulled back the left sleeve of her robe, to reveal a burned and calloused hand. Though it appeared soft and frail, her wrist held a thick wrap around it. She ripped off the wrap, tossing it to the ground.
"Ah, could this be more bone breaking action from Team TaiHaiTai?" Koto said in delight. "All eyes on Sunset, who appears to have something to show off!"
Sunset stepped to the side, and then to the other side in a flow of motion. She continued this reaction for a few more second; till Koto noticed her wrist was pulsing with a glow. Sunset held her left wrist out and shouted, "Battus Philenor Inferno!"
The wave of energy burst from her wrist, along with the sound of tiny flapping of wings. "A butterfly?" Koto asked. A tiny butterfly had made its way out of her wrist, and was now flying around the ring.
"Give up; your little butterflies can't handle my enormous strength!" Mirae said, finally speaking up. She punched the ground, sending a tide of shock toward Kale. Kale jumped in the air, and as if he had wings, flew gracefully around, landing next to the bunch of white robes.
A swarm of butterflies began to form, all around the ring. Koto, noticed this menace that began to form. "She watched one of the tiny butterflies land on Mirae's fist. Mirae screamed, "AAAAHHHH!!" The butterfly, now in perfect view, was stunning, but had its tips on fire, and had begun to eat through her skin.
The butterfly swarm grew larger, each one on fire. "Um, there is all fine and dandy, but I'll step to the side for right now!" Koto said, jumping out of the ring. Ace, who had finally gotten back up with Kitty, had grabbed for her baseball bat, for protection. She swung all around her, avoiding them at all cost. One of the butterflies landed on her forehead, to which she swung, and knocked her self out.
She crumpled to the ground, while Kitty noticed the bad news. Mirae cried out, trying to avoid the butterflies at all cost. Mirae ducked, while being bitten by some of butterflies that ran across her arms, taking a chunk out of her side. She screamed, while the swarm began to form a giant batch together.
They took flight, and found their target easily, the helpless Kitty who sat at the side. The entire fire bursting butterflies took their roots, devouring Kitty to nothingness. "It's absolute chaos, those flaming butterflies have instead devoured Kitty, and left nothing left!"
Kalinka held her hand out for the butterfly that landed on it. She flipped her hand around, snatching it at the base, and squeezing the life out of it. In a puff of smoke, it exploded into nothingness. "Cute little buggers, wish I could have one for a pet."
Mirae collapsed to the ground, after a hit from Sunset. Koto waved her hands in the air, "I better start my count! 1,2,3,4,5,6…"
"What a waste of my time," Kale said walking away.
Reika set her hand on Kale's shoulder, "You know very well that it's not just your time we're wasting." Kale nodded, while Reika removed her hand quickly. The leader, in her white robe, began to make her way to the ring.
"7,8,9…" Koto continued.
"What a cheap match, nothing compared to the other team," Saruji said.
General Shikimato adjusted his hat, "Well now, the certainly puts things into perspective."
"10!" Koto shouted. "The winner of the second fight and the winners of the match, Team TaiHaiTai! What surprise and destruction from the white robed figures, like a horrible plague gone right!"
"That was certainly a great way to start the first round and the tournament off!" she said.
The white robed figures continued their strange stance from the side, as the scoreboard updated their advancement to the next round. "And I thought all you demons out there would be mad because of the byes for three of the teams, but this is certainly making up for it!" Koto said turning toward the screen.
"Well now, after a small break, we'll get underway with the next match!" Koto said.
"I didn't fight," Kabul said angrily. He pulled out his large sword, which looked like some beast's fang, rather than any true weapon. "I haven't fought yet!" he shouted.
The leader of the white robes, made her way to the ring. "Um excuse me, the matches are over," Koto said politely.
Kabul turned her way, and gave her a nasty look. "I haven't fought yet!"
The white robed leader stepped forward. "Oh, so your looking for a fight, are you?" Kabul asked swinging his sword.
"Tear off his head!!!!" yelled the demons from the audience.
"Well now, I guess we'll let the demons get what they want!!" Koto shouted. Kabul charged the leader in the white robe, who flipped backward, pushing off her hands, and landing forward, where she wanted.
"Give them hell Tai!" Kale shouted from his side.
"You're a bad influence, you know," Reika said smacking the back of his head.
Kale scratched his head, "Sorry, haha."
Reika hit him on the back of the head and folded her arms. "I don't get paid for babysitting," she said with a laugh.
Sunset and Beelbal shrugged, while Tai continued her acrobatics in the ring. Kabul slashed ahead of him wildly, missing his target every time. "Stay still!" Kabul shouted.
Koto put her microphone near her mouth, "Well now, the relentless Kabul, who's impatience is worst then my mother's voice! Has taken an offensive to attack the other team leader, but I guess we don't have to worry, since he can't hit the broad side of a demon's butt!"
"EXCUSE ME!" Kabul said turning toward Koto.
Koto backed away, "Sorry, I'm just the announcer. I simply tell it as it is!"
Kabul turned to the rapid punches of the team leader, Tai. Tai flipped in the air, kicking Kabul's chin. This sent Kabul's body, flipping backward, heading face down in a spiral, back down. Kabul adjusted his chin, which looked like it had broken in a few places.
Tai snickered, "Well now, looks like you do flips as well as I do." She stood calmly, till she ran straight up to Kabul and hugged him.
Kabul shouted, "AAAHHH! Get off of me, demon!" He shoved her backward, while she continued to snicker. "Freak!"
Tai landed backward, but did a back flip, landing perfectly on her feet. "Share the love?" she murmured under her breath.
Kabul spit on the ground, "You foul demon, don't ever touch me again."
Tai started to laugh, and then proceeded to jump forward. Tai twirled around in the air, tapping Kabul's head. Tai landed behind him, thrusting his hand at Kabul's back shoulder. He collapsed to the ground on one knee, struggling to stay on one knee.
"What was that?" Kabul asked.
Tai listened carefully and quietly. She shrugged and kicked Kabul in the stomach. "Let's finish this," Tai said jumping off Kabul's head. Kabul looked up, to see Tai creating a large plate out of nowhere.
Koto rushed forward, "Talk about a surprise attack, the loveable hugging team leader, has taken to the air, about to inflict pain on that jerk of a Kabul!"
"Soon as I get up, I'll kill you," Kabul said, until he looked up.
Tai flipped in the air, heading straight down at Kabul. She slammed the bowl, straight down on Kabul's head, "Bowl drop of doom!" The bowl smashed across the head of Kabul, knocking him out instantly.
Blood poured down Kabul's head, while Koto ran up to him. "In what has to be described as the weirdest move I've ever seen, Tai has apparently broken a bowl on Kabul's head. Killing him," Koto said feeling Kabul's arm. The demons around the stadium cheered, while the white robes walked away.
Koto frowned, dropping his hand, "Dang-it! Looks like he's still alive." The demon's shouted in an uproar, shouting out loudly to everyone.
"Move on to the next match, we want blood!" a group of demons shouted.
Koto smiled, "Well give it a few minutes, and we'll start the next match." Demons cheered, while Koto continued, "Well, the first match was quite an action packet one! Let's hope the next one is more gut-wrenching and gore filled."
Marionette finished his smoke, and burned it out against the rail. Kurama stared blankly, "Well now, this team could be a challenge."
"We had better be careful about them," Yusuke said.
Kuwabara laughed, "They're nothing but freaks."
"Look whose talking bro. Compared to everyone else here, we're the freaks of the bunch," Shizuru said putting her feet on Kuwabara's head.
Keiko frowned at Botan, "Well I guess it makes it still dangerous here, right?"
Botan nodded, "We'll be lucky if we can get through this round."
"Then why did you send them here?! AGAIN?!" Keiko shouted.
Yusuke snapped back at her, "Don't worry Keiko, we had no choice, it was either all of our deaths, or fight here."
"Like that's a lot of options," Shizuru said sarcastically.
Kalinka looked around, grabbed around, till she found what she was looking for. "Ah, pizza!" she shouted.
"How can you eat that vile stuff?" Lea asked.
Kalinka laughed, "Human food always tastes better then the crap we eat."
Saluna and Charl clashed soft drinks, "Here, here!"
Garland laughed, while drinking out of a cup. "You know, if we live through all this, we could call it a vacation."
Vorea'sesaki laughed, while Saiyuki spoke, "What do you think of that team?"
"I believe that we'll see ourselves to the end," General Shikimato said.
Saiyuki folded his hands together, "So my friend, you're up next."
Vorea'sesaki turned around, noticing the figure in the brown coat stand up. "Damn-it, you owe me jerk-off!" the brown coated female hit Saiyuki, who nearly spit out his drink.
"That obscene woman is your idea of a fighter?" Saiyuki asked.
Vorea'sesaki smiled, "You'll see."
"Hey Koenma sir, what on earth are you doing?" Jorge asked.
Koenma was punching and kicking in the air. "Well Jorge, I've decided to act as Team Urameshi's substitute, just in case they need me. I figure I better practice my moves, right?"
"But sir, you're not a fighter. Last year you ran away at the slightest mention of a fight."
Koenma punched Jorge, while Megumi rushed in with food. "Looks like the training is paying off sir, ha!"
"YUMMY!" Koenma said jumping down from his chair.
Outside the stadium, Saruji bent over a gravestone. "Sister, I will always look for you."
Hiei slashed at the ground, while Kayal balanced on her hands. "Lalala," she sang wobbling back and forth
"Does that help you?" Kayal asked standing on her head.
Hiei turned and grimaced, "Does that help you?" His voice was loud and stern.
"You know you're cute, when you're angry," Kayal said. She wobbled to the right, and then tipped over to the left. Hiei rushed over to her, after watching what had happened.
"Are you all right?" Hiei said, holding her up.
She blushed and smiled, "Whenever I'm in your arms, I'm all right." She grabbed a hold of Hiei, and held him down. He tried to wiggle free, while she kissed him on the cheek.
Hiei toppled over, and Kayal started to laugh. "Ugh, what was all that?" Hiei asked.
Kayal smiled, "The kiss of death!" Kayal laughed, while Hiei stood up and dusted himself off. "Aw, come on, you know you liked it."
Hiei stuck his tongue out, while Kayal jumped at him. Hiei toppled over again, and Kayal stood up in perfect form. "Your no good at this game, are you?" Kayal said.
"I don't play games," Hiei said.
"Ever played tag?" Kayal asked. Hiei looked like a lost and confused boy. "Your childhood must have been wasted!"
"Why do you like me?" Hiei asked.
"I think three eyes are cute," Kayal said laughing. "Why do you like me?"
"Um, I don't know."
"Um, I don't know."
"Stop copying me!"
"Stop copying me!"
"I'm not copying, you! You're copying me!"
"I'm not copying, you! You're copying me!" Kayal couldn't stop laughing and Hiei couldn't stop getting mad.
"Fine then, I hate you!" Hiei said.
"Fine then, I hate you!" Kayal said.
"But you like me!" Hiei shouted.
"But you like me!" Kayal shouted.
"Fine then, tackle me!" Hiei said, thinking he had outsmarted her.
Kayal jumped in the air and tackled Hiei. Hiei yelped, while she continued to struggle with him. "Get off of me!" Hiei said.
"Get off of me!" Kayal said, continuing to struggle with Hiei. She burst out laughing, after rolling off him. "Hahaha, your fun to mess with." Hiei turned around, and folded his arms together. A slight part of his upper lip turned upward, as if he were to smile, but it quickly changed to a scowl.
Koto turned around, and spoke loudly. "Well now, let the second match start! It's the moment you've been waiting for, and the returning champions from every three years, Team Vorea'sesaki!!"
The demon pounded and cheered amongst the stadium, "YEA!! VOREA'SESAKI! VOREA'SESAKI!"
"Listen to the cheers from the crowd; I think we have a fan favorite!" Koto said. She pointed to the opposite end of the stadium, but no one came out. "Well now, this is odd. Where are they?" Koto said, looking around.
She whirled around behind herself, to make sure they weren't there. Koto scratched her head, "Um, perhaps, we should try the other team?" Koto turned around to the other entrance for the fighters, "The next team, with the big demon himself, Team Ichirou!!!"
Demons shouted and roared, but for the second time, no figures came out. Koto scratched her head, "Well now, this is just great." Koto kept turning around, looking for any of the team members.
A figure in a black cloak, tapped at a door in the hotel. "Hello! Hey buddy, your match is up!" the female voice said.
A strange demon from aside was walking down the hall. "Ain't you that famous fighter Umi?" the strange demon asked.
Umi giggled, flashing a sensational pair of indigo eyes. "That would be me."
"WOW! What are you doing here, aren't you a part of team Ichirou?" the demon asked.
Umi giggled again, "Hehe, nope, I became a part of Team Alack instead, we have a bye through the first round."
"Oh, wow, why are you knocking on that there door?" he asked in a strange accent.
Umi knocked at the door, "Friend of mine and his team are about to sleep through their match!" Umi kicked at the door, "Hello!"
"You mean that tall beast? He's a big one, yah know!"
Koto turned around in time to see a figure in a brown raincoat. "Team Vorea'sesaki???" she asked.
The figure walked up, and stood in front of Koto. She glanced at the coat, "Secret weapon?!"
