The elder Toguro stops before he reaches the end of the stage, a huge gust
of wind blowing over everything, coming from the direction of Katrina. He
turns around to look at her, along with everyone else. The barrier masters
are starting to back away, looking like they are having trouble with their
shield, and give up, making a run for it. But it's too late for them. A
white light shines around the whole area around Katrina, and it explodes.
As the smoke clears, the only thing left standing is the Tao Master, her
eyes full of such hatred, her cheeks red with tears, and her fists tightly
grasped, enough for her nails to cut her own skin in her palm. She starts
walking towards the elder Toguro on stage, her eyes only set on him, only
him, a whirlwind of energy spinning around her body. The force of her
energy blows any other attackers that got close away; there is nothing that
can stop her from making her way to Toguro. She steps onto the stage,
stopping in the middle.
"Fight me you bastard..." The angry Katrina says under her breath at him, knowing he can hear her though. "You have no right to claim that victory and live to tell about it... You have no right to live!!!" Her energy bursts in every direction, blowing another huge wind across the crowds, the grounds cracking below her also.
"Holy shit! That's Katrina's power!?" Yuske bursts from the side of the stage, trying to keep his ground as the winds blow.
"It seems that he has aggravated her to the point she can no longer hold herself still and see any of us get hurt again..." Kurama notes, his arms over his face. "Katrina did always see Kuwabara as her older brother... and if Toguro is being truthful... then he also was the one that killed Katrina's mother... and that might anger her further..."
Hiei smirks a bit, never moving by Katrina's energy, he is very surprised, but never makes a motion that he is, "Looks like the moron was useful after all..."
Kurama looks over at Hiei, "Hiei... I don't believe you'd want her to attack you either..."
Hiei looks up at Kurama, still having the smirk on his face, "It's not that I'm dishonoring the dead man... it's just a sad habit I have..." They all look back to Katrina, Juri making her way onto stage, or at least trying.
"Excuse me! But you aren't allowed to fight! You aren't on the Urameshi team! Actually you're just a prize! The judges won't be happy with this!" Juri screams at Katrina.
Her cold eyes move over to Juri who's screaming this at her, and reply's to her, "Then they can take their sad asses to hell!!!!!!" Her energy explodes again and all the glass shatters around the stadium, and she looks back to Toguro who's turned around to face her. "It's not like they have anyone that can stop me..."
Toguro grins to her comment, not making a motion that he's going to attack her at all, "What makes you think that I'm going to fight a little girl like you?" Katrina's eyes narrow a bit, her face becoming angrier than it was before.
"Now or later... I'm going to take your life... but the later it is the more you'll regret it, and the more I'll haunt you till you go insane... And I'm not going to let you get away..." The elder Toguro takes his hands from his pockets, her grin becoming wider.
"Then this should be interesting..." And right as his sentence ends, his fingers dash into the air, forming into spears again as they all dive for Katrina in different directions. She jumps into the air to the left, his fingers turning to try and attack her and she throws talismans at each one.
"Shatter the ground with heavenly bolts! Thunder strike!!!!" Katrina screams and the talismans activate, sending bolts of electricity through Toguro's body, throwing his aim off as she tries to dodge his fingers. She misses most of them, but is hit by one in the shoulder, it going right through. He regains consciousness and the finger wraps around her arm and shoulder, holding her up into the air. She draws even more talismans and puts them around the finger.
"Freeze the evil souls inside and out! Chill with ice!!!" Katrina screams, as the talismans turn to ice, it freezing his finger all the way down, and it shatters. She lands on the ground with part of the finger still within her and she rips it out, ignoring the wound. His fingers head for her again and she runs around stage as they dive into the ground trying to hit her, and she jumps up as they come up, throwing more talismans at him, without even chanting they go into flame, burning everything they touch. Katrina lands again, Toguro screaming in pain from the flames. She puts her hands in front of her chest, like a circle around the center of it. He looks at shock at her stance, a grin on her face.
"Even the old and fragile have things to teach the young. And her attacks shall be your death!" She screams at him, a blue ball coming from her chest, "SPIRIT BALL!!!!!!" And she raises the ball into the air, letting it go for just a nano second, and slams it with the palm of her hand, spiking it strait for the Elder Toguro who stands there in complete shock. It strikes him, making a horrible explosion that shines a bright light throughout the stadium. As the light dies, everyone checks to see if anyone is still alive. Katrina is on her knees, breathing hard, looking at the huge crater she's created, seeing nothing of Toguro as the smoke rises. The crowds start to cheer Katrina's name, everyone around the arena just shocked at their reaction to the battle. But it's not over... from cracks in the crater comes up some strange pale gooze, it coming above the ground, forming into a giant standing pile of putty, and it forms back into Toguro, looking perfectly fine. Katrina stairs wide eyed as he walks closer to her, knowing she can't stand or attack after that stunt she pulled.
"Well, well Katrina," Toguro mocks as he stands a few feet from her, "Out of energy? That's to bad. Because the battle isn't over yet till one of us is dead." He grins evilly and his long fingers wrap around her body, holding her captive, them slowly piercing into her soft skin as she screams in pain.
"Some Tao Master you are... depending on the strongest attacks to beat your enemies. You say you've learned much, but in the end, you're nothing but a little girl crying for her mommy." He grins as his mocking finishes, his fingers letting her go other than some wrapped around her neck, cutting off her air as he holds her up in the air by her neck. She grabs hold of his choking fingers, trying to open a small space for her to breathe, but can't. She kicks and squirms trying to get free, as his evil cackling continues. Everyone watches in shock as her kicking slowly dies, and her eyes starting to close. As the whole Yuske team begins to scream Katrina's name, huge amounts of explosions spread across Toguro's extended fingers, and a shadowed figure leaps across the stage, grabbing Katrina from Toguro's grip, and landing near the Yuske team. As the smoke clears, the figure is revealed, his long black jacket extending to the floor, as for his hair which matches his black jacket, a gray mask covering his mouth and nose and a necklace that dangles from his neck, now free for all to see, being a blue stone with little wings from the outside, demonic wings. Katrina slowly opens her eyes, her breathing returning back to normal, and she looks upon her savior, her eyes opening wide as she gazes upon it further.
"It's..." she begins to stutter, "It's you... the one who gave me this necklace... You were the one that saved me so long ago..." Yuske and the team both look in shock.
"WOH WOH WOH!!!" Yuske screams from where he stands, "Karasu is a good guy!!!!???"
"It looks to be it..." Kurama says, his eyes narrowing a bit, "They both have the same necklace... and he did just save her from death..." Karasu faces the team, still holding Katrina safely in his arms, the elder Toguro's eyes following Karasu, his cold look becoming colder as his hands reform. Karasu hands Katrina over to Koenma and Botan, them laying her down and starting to wrap her wounds quickly, Karasu facing Toguro once again.
"Why you little traitor..." the elder Toguro says in his cocky voice towards Karasu, starting to walk for him. "So it was you who saved the little brat all those years ago. I should of known that one of my little pets would be the savior of that weakling. I guess I'll have to kill you here and now you traitor..." Karasu dashes past Toguro while he does the same, there is a quick flash of light as the two reach different ends of the stage. Karasu stands up tall as he turns towards the elder Toguro, who as soon as he makes eye contact with, blows up into millions of different pieces. Karasu then looks over at Katrina, who has a big grin on her face for someone in her condition, giving him the thumbs up. Karasu walks back over to the younger Toguro, now the only one, and they talk a bit silently.
Yuske stops his foot down, screaming once again, "Oh NOW what are they doing!?"
Kurama narrows his eyes again, never taking his eyes off Karasu and Toguro, "He's still going to fight..."
Yuske looks over at Kurama, questioning him, "What do you mean he's still going to fight? Didn't he just kill one of his team mates?"
"Yes he did Yuske..." Kurama notes, putting his hand to his chin, "But it seems like he still wants to fight..."
Hiei smirks a bit, looking at Karasu and Toguro also, "He just wanted to shut that shape shifting moron... And I think Toguro wanted that done too."
Yuske blinks a few times, and looks over at Hiei and Kurama, "Well I guess that makes sense... but how did he do it...?" Hiei and Kurama look at him, with big open eyes, resembling 'what are you stupid?'
Kurama coughs a few times lightly, "He got a power talisman from Katrina to boost his attack ten fold... And I don't think that he's going to give up the tournament because he killed the older brother..."
*** To be continued! ***
"Fight me you bastard..." The angry Katrina says under her breath at him, knowing he can hear her though. "You have no right to claim that victory and live to tell about it...

"Excuse me! But you aren't allowed to fight! You aren't on the Urameshi team! Actually you're just a prize! The judges won't be happy with this!" Juri screams at Katrina.
