Sayonara, Bye-Bye

Chapter 32

Hiei's Point Of View

" Dayoshi verses Hiei! Begin!" Koto signalled, moving out of the way. I withdrew my katana quickly and charged toward Dayoshi.

" Let's go." Dayoshi grinned as I stabbed her through her middle, warm purple blood coated my hand. I withdrew my katana from her inners and flicked her blood on the ground.

" And Dayoshi is down from just one stab! That went quick." Koto announced.

" Pssh. She wasn't even a challenge. I should have fought Nashi." I boasted, as I started my walk to the edge of the ring.

" Hiei!" Kurama shouted. I turned around and a fish spike pirced my arm. I fell backwards from the speed of the spike.

" You thought I was finished." Dayoshi grinned.

" And Dayoshi springs up and attacks Hiei with a deathly fish spike." Koto continued.

" W-what?" I stuttered. I withdrew the spike and threw it.

" I guess you don't know yet. Better not tell you." She smiled as she charged toward me. I picked up my katana and chopped off her arm.

" Die!" I yelled. My arm was in serious pain.

" That spike must have had poison of some sort." Kurama gasped. " Hiei wouldn't be stumbling like this if it was just a stab."

" Hiei." Dayoshi grinned as her arm ejected back into it's socket.

" She's a regenerator Hiei! Stop using your sword!" Yusuke yelled.

" Dayoshi is in fact a regenerator! This fishy girl will be a hard one to beat!" Koto nodded.

" Come on Hiei. Stab me." Dayoshi grinned. I stumbled around the ring with one numb arm.

" This sucks." I growled, throwing my katana to the other side of the ring.

" Where's your confidence now?" Dayoshi laughed.

" Dayoshi! Stop chatting and finish her off!" Shioru yelled.

" Shut up Shioru! I've already got her poisoned. All I need to do now is stand and wait." Dayoshi laughed.

" Not so fast!" I yelled, summoning a few of the dark flames and punched her middle. " Mortal Flames!" I yelled as my arm chopped her in half.

" Stupid Hiei. You haven't learned yet." Dayoshi said, tossing three more fish spikes. One pirced my back, the other in my leg and the last one missed. I pulled each of them out painfully. I felt blood drip down my cheek, the last one edged me.

" Shut up!" I yelled in pain.

" Hiei!" Kurama yelled.

" And Hiei looks in serious pain from those poisonous spikes." Koto said.

" I'm fine Kurama." I said, smiling at him.

" Oh Hiei!" Yukina cried from the stands.

" First the confident girlfriend, now the whimpering corpse." Dayoshi laughed as her legs ejected back to her.

" Shit. I'm done for." I groaned, trying to stand up. I succeded and tried to think of a strategy as I dodged her punches slowly. I was in so much pain. Where was my bravery that I used to have. My male side couldn't stand to be humliated in front of so many people.

" Ha! Too bad you can't just, stop my parts from coming back." Dayoshi grinned as she slowly stepped towards me.

" That's it!" I yelled, pulling the two daggers out of my hair. I dodged her attack and ran to my katana with the remaining of my strength.

" Running again? Ha." Dayoshi laughed. I grabbed my katana and cut off her two legs and watched them fall to the ground. I stabbed the two legs to the ground with my daggers tightly and firmly and stepped over to Dayoshi's top half of her body.

" What are you doing!?" Dayoshi yelled.

" Your legs can only regenerate if they retract back to their original place and if they can't crawl back to you, then you can't relive. I'll just sit here until you die." I grinned.

" H-how'd you do that?" She stuttered, slowly dying.

" I realized that after you said I can't stop your parts from coming back. I guess I just did." I laughed.

" You're smart Hiei." She smiled, fainting to her death. I slowly walked to the edge of the ring and stared down at my teammates.

" I'm okay." I smiled, fainting into Kurama's arms.

" Hiei? Are you alright?" Kurama asked worriedly.

" Of course." I smiled. Kurama kissed my slowly and softly.

" I was worried about you." Kurama smiled, holding me close. He whipped away his few tears.

" Is Kurama crying!?" I laughed.

" I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. I thought you were going to die."

" Me? Die! That's a laugh Kurama. I won't die until you die. Okay?" I nodded.

" Right." Kurama smiled.

" I guess I'm fighting next then." Botan smiled.

" Botan?" Yusuke asked.

" What?" Botan asked, turning around. Yusuke kissed Botan.

" Be careful." Yusuke smiled.

" I will." Botan blushed, stepping into the ring.

" Awww, go Urameshi." Kuwabara nudged.

" You two suck. You got me in the mood to kiss her." Yusuke smiled at Kurama and I.

" And now, the fourth match of round one! Botan verses Kitsune! Begin!" Koto announced.

" This shall be fun." Kitsune mewed, taking her posture.

" Of course." Botan smiled, her face full of eagerness and confidence as she entered the fourth match.

A/N: A bit of Yaoi as well as Yusuke and Botan. Yusuke really cares for Botan and it's cute. Kurama and Hiei seem to be quite protective over each other in the tournament, especally after each one fights. I do that to show their close relationship and meaning toward each other. I really love their relationship in my story because it's not the main focus, not only am I trying to portray an adventure but to also show romance and humor as well. Plus, my story sound really good when you read it out loud.
