Chapter 10
Kurama, Morwen began, Suzaku has something to tell you. Open your mind to her. The she-wolf sneezed, a signal between totem animal and apparition.
'You can hear me?' Suzaku queried.
'Yes, what is it?' Kurama prompted, keeping a wary eye on the other team.
'I've had experiences with the Make-up of the Seal before. Those who were touched by it couldn't use their spirit energy for at least thirty minutes. You won't be able to get rid of the curse unless you bleed yourself dry. The first curse is almost over anyway.' Her information would hopefully keep the fox from trying something that he shouldn't yet.
Toya discarded his robe and leapt into the ring. His blue eyes narrowed angrily and were ice cold. "You'll pay for that." he hissed.
"Kurama of Team Urameshi vs. Toya of Team Masho. Ready...fight!" Koda leapt back to avoid being hit by their attacks.
Toya lunged, landing a punch on the restrained spirit fox. He then spun around for a kick.
Using his disadvantage to his advantage, Kurama allowed his knees to buckle and he fell tot he floor. The weight vanished like mist under the sun, allowing him to spring back to his feet.
"So, you've got your mobility back. That won't help you much." The ice demon sprang into a run, followed by the spirit fox. Toya gathered his energy into his hand before shards of ice appeared. "SHARDS OF WINTER!!" He blew them from his hand and to Kurama.
Luckily, Kurama managed to dodge most of them, but a few hit; causing deep lacerations. He cried out in pain. Small flecks of his spirit energy floated in his blood making him glad for the warning Suzaku had given him. 'That was a probable event, if I hadn't been forewarned.'
"I know about your plants, Kurama. I don't intend to let you use them." Toya declared then released another Shards of Winter attack.
'He's too fast for me to attack head on.' The fox nestled the seeds deep into the cuts on his arms while dodging the ice sword the Ice master suddenly conjured. 'What I'm doing is a calculated risk, but one I must take.'
The spirit fox continued to dodge the sword and any stray ice spikes. Suddenly, he stumbled. Ice sealed a foot to the arena floor. Toya leapt in for the final attack and was met by the blossom bearing, energy-draining vines of the Death Plant.
"H-ow?" Toya managed to ask.
"I sowed the seed into myself." Kurama declared. The Ice Master fell to the ground, unconscious. A few minutes later, Kurama also fainted.
Koda cautiously approached, then cocked her ear. "I hear a heart beat. He's still alive." she stated.
Another figure leapt into the ring, grabbing the unconscious spirit fox by the front of his outfit. The ice around his foot shattered as the demon began beating the spirit animal. Koda glanced uneasily at the board. 'They're just going to let him do this? He can't fight back.'
The scarred demon lifted the spirit animal higher, ready to deliver the killing blow. The idiot didn't even realize that he was in danger. Yusuke and Suzaku were charged up, ready to shoot him in the back.
"That's enough." the team leader declared. "Throw him out of the ring."
"But..."
"No buts! Those two care enough about him to disobey the rules and not even you could survive being shot in the back."
With a grumble, he tossed the unconscious spirit fox out of the ring. Suzaku reabsorbed her energy and went to the fox. "I'll take care of Kurama. You show him why it's a bad idea to get us angry."
She moved Kurama away from the ring, gazing at the wounds on his body. 'They are deeper than I thought. Everything I know about healing magic would weaken him too much' Instead she pulled out the powdered herbs she carried with her, liberally pouring them into the cuts and over the bruises suffered by her friend.
