Disclaimer: I own nothing from Yu Yu Hakusho. Not even one comic. I want
one! T_T However, I do own this fan fic, the concept of No Ones, Kristina
Evens and her friend Ami Koji. This chapter is the fight, and it's bloody
but not even close to gore. I don't like to write gore (or sex scenes for
that matter, but I'm flexible with that :D). I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 7: Kristina Evens: The Incredible Dark Fighter
"Kris-stin-na! Kris-stin-na!" the crowd cheered on the day that Hiei and the ever so popular girl, Kristina Evens, were appointed to fight on. They stood glaring at each other in the middle of the court yard. A smug look came on the young girl's face as she noticed that her opponent had no expression on his. In her mind, she thought that he was threatened by her. In his, exhaustion.
He didn't sleep well that night knowing what he and Kurama almost did. It surprised him of how his brain seemed to be non-existent at the time. He had on clue of what Kurama was attempting to do until they were interrupted. But every time he thought of it, a tingly sensation spread through his body, making his heart beat faster than intended to. Could it be that he actually enjoyed it? No, he did not like those things. Those feelings get in the way of important things, like that mission that they should be working on. They have made no headway, except for a lot of trouble from Karasu and that tiny bit of information from the Yukina impersonator. If they didn't finish this soon..
"Now that we have entered the semi finals, a referee, me in other words, has been established," the referee person said, "The rules are the same as always, but we need to have a closer eye on the battle. With that said," the referee shot his hand up, and then struck it down, "BEGIN!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poor Hiei. The only one that was cheering for him was Kurama, and how nice the gesture was, Hiei still was uneasy around him. His thoughts went back to that morning. Kurama woke him up saying he had a surprise for him downstairs. Hiei had only got to bed a few hours before, and told him to shove off. But Kurama insisted, and dragged him down to the kitchen. There awaiting for him was a huge stack of chocolate chip pancakes, for which they promptly ate with orange juice and chocolate milk.
"Seeing how it's the day of your semi-final match, I thought you should have a nice meal first!" Kurama explained. Hiei was drooling at the sheer site of all that chocolate.
Through out breakfast, Kurama kept giving Hiei odd glances, for which he didn't think Hiei would notice. The small glimmers of attention made Hiei feel slightly uneasy, kind of exposed. At that times, he would slow down his binge and kind of stare at the pancakes. Other times, Kurama and him would make random contacts: hands touching as they reached for the same item, feet brushing past the others, and so on. Kurama would blush, and Hiei didn't think it, but he would blush as well. Such random, corny things, and they actually got worked up over it.
Hiei snapped out of his thoughts when Kristina pulled out her weapon from her shirt: a pair of nunchaku spun around her hands and body like some kind of deadly baton. Straightening up, she slowed and said to him, "I suggest you have your weapon out this time. I'm not like the other weaklings and won't let a simple kick beat me."
Hiei sighed. Even though he set an image for himself, if she really wanted to see even part of his potential, then he might as well. Reaching into his black cloak, he whipped out his Katana. The crowd stopped cheering as he awaited her first attack.
"You can go. I don't want to waste my time with such arrogant little brats, such as yourself," Hiei calmly explained. Her dark blue strands of hair stood up in fury as she started swinging her nunchaku faster.
"ARROGANT LITTLE BRAT?! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MANNERS TOWARDS A WOMAN?!!!!!!" she yelled. Hiei just contently stared back at her.
"Well, are you going to go, or shall I have to shop the nunchaku in half before you are even able to use them?" Hiei asked. The two glared at each other, daring the others battle ki to rise or strike first. Finally, after much ado, Kristina charged at an incredible speed that was faster than an average human's, but no where near matched Hiei's. Smashing down one of the nunchaku, it appeared that she made a hit: but alas, it was just an image that Hiei accidentally left behind of himself.
"I though I was suppose to take you seriously. How can I with such a useless attack coming at me?" he taunted. She raced towards him again, faster than before. Swinging her nunchaku, with fragments of times between blows, she attempted to hit him again. Hiei used his sword finally to block them. Blow after blow after blow; block after block after block. Hiei sighed in how boring and pointless this fight was.
"What the heck!" Kristina exasperated after a few more pointless blows. Hiei now proceeded to use only his right hand to block the nunchaku. "What is wrong with you! No human being alive can move that fast!"
"Exactly," Hiei replied. One of the nunchaku came utterly close to his face, and in seconds time it smashed into his cheek. Kristina looked hopeful as she swung it away. But only to her dismay, Hiei only looked at her with not the slightest look of hurt.
"You're. You can't be human!" she muttered. Hiei smiled.
"Gosh your smart," he mocked, "I grow bored of this fight. It's time for me to end it." Hiei started attacking with his Katana. Kristina didn't parry or even block for that matter: she was to busy dodging.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kurama watched the fight just as bored as Hiei was. He felt sorry for that young girl, actually. She was such a good fighter for an average human. But she lacked the spirit energy that would help her even consider fighting Hiei.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, an odd, black light seeped down from a tall tower in the middle of the school. Hiei noticed it, too, even though he was trying to strike the girl. Kurama shot Hiei a warning look, one that told him to be careful of anything that comes. Hiei acknowledged this, and finally kicked Kristina after she expected a blow from the sword.
Everything went dark. The noises from the crowd instantly disappeared, along with the people. All Hiei could see was Kurama, who was running over to him, and Kristina, who sat shaking on the ground.
"Hiei, do you feel that?" Kurama asked. Hiei nodded.
"Yes, it seems that there is a large amount of spirit energy all around us."
"No. it's something different," Kurama noted. The young girl started to boast a powerful bright blue light. Her eyes went white, teeth bared fangs, and every hair on her head turned upright towards the sky.
"This is not that girl's energy. Someone his helping her," Hiei stated. Kurama stood with a thoughtful expression. Then he gasped in realization.
"Hiei, we were wrong! We are not dealing with spirit energy, it's-"
"HIEI!" the girl exclaimed.
"Let me finish this, Kurama, and then you can tell me," Hiei stated as the new Kristina came dashing for him with such agility that Hiei himself did not anticipate. The darkness rose, and all the people were there again, quite confused about what just happened. All that was seen was a blue and black blur from where the fighters were. Sparks of fire flew everywhere from when the two weapons smashed each other. Kurama saw it all, but had trouble keeping up with the speed himself.
After a few minutes of this, the two fighters broke apart. Hiei showed a few red welts on his face, and a bloody lip, but Kristina still had it worse. A cut ran up her face, and even more was on her arms. The blood dropped down and she paid attention to it like it was nothing.
"Hold on! This match is not suppose to be held like this!" the referee exclaimed as he ran over. Kristina looked at him, rather annoyed. Holding the nunchaku in one hand, she formed a blue orb of energy in her right, and shot it quickly at him. The referee yelled out in pain, and then laid motionless on the ground. Kurama immediately ran to his side, and freaked out the people more as he started pulling random seeds from his hair in attempt to get a plant that would heal him.
And then she did something that no one expected. A blue light surrounded her nunchaku and formed them into double ninja swords. She smiled as she lunged for Hiei yet again. But they did not stay in their place this time. Because of the force they both were emitting, they were forced into the crowds, accidentally slashing people that stood in their path. More and more bodies laid on the ground as they fought, and Kurama found that he had trouble getting to them all.
Hiei sheathed his sword, figuring that he had to fight spirit energy with spirit energy. Ripping off his cloak to reveal a white tea shirt, hell blazing fire started forming around his hands. "Jaou Ensatsu Rengokushou!" Kristina's ninja swords flew out of her reach as Hiei continually bombarded her with his flaming fists.
She flung backwards and toppled along the ground, as her face skidded along the pavement. She finally stopped ending in a collision with the wall. She stayed there for the longest time, yet Hiei still had his fire about his arms, cautiously waiting for her to get up. Which she did, with the blood skimming down everywhere on her body.
Hiei looked with pity on his face. "Give up. You're bleeding worse than ever. If you don't stop now, you'll die soon." She, however, paid no mind to this, as she reached for her swords and they flew back into her hands. Hiei sighed and pulled out his again. He didn't want to kill the girl, she was weak enough as it was, with his Kokuryuhaa. But he already let the battle go on long enough. So what was left for him?
"Oh crap," Hiei said blandly, "Now I have to use that tasteless move."
Kristina lunged for him once more. Pulling out his sword, parried the attack, and when landing behind her exclaimed, "Jaou Ensatsu Ken!" His sword lit up with an eerie black flame. The darted towards each other, and with one loud clap of thunder, awaited to see who won.
Kristina's swords broke into pieces as she fell towards the ground, going back into her original state. Hiei let his sword died down into a white heat as he sheathed it yet again. Kurama ran forward with a few paramedics and pointed to Kristina for them to take her away. He had done this with all the other students that have been injured, finding that he could not take care of them all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So I guess you won?" Kurama asked that evening when treated all the injuries of welts and cuts. Hiei snorted.
"Hn. We didn't win yet, stupid fox," he stated, "Ouch! Why do you have to use that iodine stuff?! That hurts more than when my arm was burned."
"I find that iodine works the best for cleaning cuts," Kurama explained with a soft giggle.
"What did you want to tell me during the match?" Hiei inquired.
"Well, I wanted to tell you that she was not using spirit energy. It was actually a condensed form of demon energy," Kurama said. Hiei stared at him. "You know just as well as I of how hard it is to tell the difference between the two."
"So, does that mean that the Koenma and Botan made a mistake?" Hiei asked, "That they got confused as we did?"
Kurama nodded in agreement. "Yes, but our mission is still the same. Whatever it takes, we must destroy that source."
"Do you think that girl had anything to do with it?"
"Unfortunately no. That girl had no spirit energy what so ever. If she did, I don't think she'd be the kind to hide it from people. Do you remember that black light?"
"Yes, but I didn't get to see it well," Hiei stated.
"I think it has something to do with it. Right after it shined, the girl immediately got stronger," said Kurama.
"Yes and?"
"Hiei, don't you see? Whatever it was, it's trying to get rid of us first before we can find it." Hiei stared at him.
"It failed with me. It might go after you next," Hiei opinionated. Kurama lowered his gaze.
"Whatever it is doesn't have to. Some one's already trying to kill me," he explained. Then Hiei remembered Karasu.
"Well," he began, "We'll just have to kill them first, won't we?"
Kurama laughed, "Yes, I guess so."
"For gods sake, Kurama, stop using that io-crap! It burns!"
"I thought you liked burning stuff?" Kurama joked. Hiei glared at him as he winced in pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukina stood outside looking up at the lighted room where the two of them sat. She sighed. "Hiei, I'm sorry for his actions," she began, "and Kurama. I'm sorry for what I must do tomorrow." With that said she ran back into the darkness of the night.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
O.o That was a long fight, even for me! 6 pages of useless fighting crap... And If you didn't notice, I listed all (I think) of Hiei's attacks. If you really don't know what they are (because I used the Japanese terms ;;;;) I'll help you out.
Jaou Ensatsu Regokushou: I think in the dubbed version this is "Fire of the Mortal Flame." But because I wasn't sure, I was forced to use the Japanese term, mainly because every site I went on didn't tell me. As you read, Hiei forms fire around his hands, and bombards his enemy with punches. For anyone else, this would probably be a weak move, but because Hiei is so fast, it has more effect when he uses it.
Jaou Ensatsu Ken: I believe this is called "Sword of the Darkness Flame." The fire that is meant for the Kokuryuhaa is transferred to his sword, making one big. er. flaming sword. Hiei doesn't like this attack very much because it's too much like Kuwabara's Rei Ken. That's why he calls it a tasteless attack.
Jaou Ensatsu Kokuryuhaa: The Dragon of the Darkness Flame, or in other words The Dragon Wave. This attack is the most difficult one to learn and master out of all the fire techniques. Hiei first used this as a last resort, and almost blew off his right arm. Now he has a kewl tattoo on him arm with an Ijyu Taihou, which is a seal to keep it under control. The Dragon Wave incinerates the opponent, and if that doesn't work, goes back to Hiei and boosts his agility and power by like, a lot. But he has to sleep for quite a while afterwards. ^^;;;;
Then again, if you are into YYH as much as I am, you already know all this junk. But I thought you might want to know anyway.
Next chapter's gonna be an odd one (I think). So uh. if you like odd chapters.. Ya know. You might want to read it.
I like the reviews I've been getting, everybody is always so nice! Tell me what you think will happen next. A lot of people have been saying that Karasu's gonna get killed. Well, you guys are just gonna have to find out for yourself, won't you?
