A/N: So Sorry for the long Delay, I promised you I would write, so here it is! And....Yeah.

I'm attempting to come up with people's names who are also on the same team as Tasuko. By the way, the

team is called Team Okane. Becuase I'm completely lost when it comes to names. And for any one who is

wondering, this has become my new summer project. So there'll be about 15 chapters. And I'm starting new

ones too. I'm just getting ideas. Anyway, take care and enjoy the next Chapter of The Spirit Tournament! --- Chapter 3: Defeat and Downtime

Tasuko was standing in the same position, not flinching despite the fact that Hiei had just ripped off his

bandana and his Jagan eye was open.

Tasuko looked up and snorted, chuckling to himself.

"So...You possess the Jagan Eye. Wow. I'm so scared now." he replied, attempting to be Mister Macho Man.

"You really have no idea what you've just gotten yourself into, do you, baka?" asked Hiei, the evil smirk on his face growing larger.

"Hmm...Pain? Maybe. Death, not likely. Kicking your ass, DEFINITELY!" he replied, grinning widely.

He jumped back a few feet, and ripped out his katana, the blade was black, and the hilt was silver with strange engravings on it. They looked like a combination of symbols and letters.

Tasuko gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and ran at Hiei, full speed.

Hiei moved easily out of the way, drawing his own katana from behind his back.

"Nice try, little man. But I don't give up that easily."

"I didn't intend for the fight to be over, fool. I'm just getting started." the smirk growing ever larger.

"Great, I can waste another 20 minutes of my time just waiting for you to make your move." he yawned lightly, but was caught in mid-yawn by the crushing of his jaw, courtesy of Hiei.

"Damnit!" he shouted, his hand automatically going up and holding his injured jaw.

"Slow." snorted Hiei, stepping back a few paces and gearing up for another attack.

"Just wait Shorty, I'm coming." he growled, both of his wrinkled hands gripping the hilt of his sword. He dashed full speed at Hiei, the silver blade shining in the sunlight. The blade missed it's target, again.

Hiei stood a few feet away from Tasuko, the smirk still on his face. Tasuko narrowed his yellow eyes and spit at Hiei's feet. "Worthless..." he murmured.

Tasuko's team mates, all of whom were demons of the same breed, stood on the sidelines, staring at their companion, who was about to get his ass kicked. One of the demons, who's name was Hajime, let out a loud, ugly laugh, and pointed at Hiei.

"Like this shrimp could ever even put a dent in Master Tasuko. I'd like to see that." he said between bouts of laughter.

Suddenly, Kuwabara shouted from the sidelines, "Hiei! Watch it! Tasuko's at his highest level of Spirit Energy! He's dangerous!"

Hiei turned to Kuwabara, "Thanks for the advice, but I am capable of seeing."

Tasuko dropped his sword on the ground, and held his arm out, and he lunged at Hiei, catching him off guard.

He grabbed Hiei by the neck and squeezed, Hiei barely flinched.

Tasuko began running and he came to an abrupt stop, and threw Hiei as hard as he could at the opposite wall of the stadium.

Hiei landed on his feet, he glared at Tasuko, who was about 50 feet away, and he appeared to have something that quite resembled a large icicle sticking out of his hand.

(Poke him with a popsicle! Sorry! -;;;)) Tasuko pulled his hand back, and with a loud growl, he chucked the icicle- like object directly at Hiei, it seemed to gain more speed with every second and every inch it traveled.

Hiei just barely moved in time, the icicle shattered against the wall, and Tasuko muttered curses under his breath. "What was THAT?" snorted Hiei, smirking again.

"That was just the beginning of a whole lot of pain, my friend." murmured Tasuko, embarassed that his supposed most powerful attack missed.

"I'm not nearly finished!" he screamed, and a large blue crackling ball of energy appeared in his hand, this time, Hiei wasn't able to move fast enough. It hit him square in the stomach.

It didn't have much effect, it pushed him back a few paces, but other than that there was no apparent damage.

"Now it's my turn!" said Hiei, who was now glowing with Spirit energy himself.

"Finally! I get to witness the legendary Dragon of the Darkness Flame!" said Tasuko, snidely. { I hate that translation...}

"Hn. You asked for it." he smirked again, and began unwrapping the bandages from his right arm.

Tasuko crossed his arms over his chest, and tapped his foot. Hiei's arm began to glow, clouds blocked out the sun, casting a substantial amount of darkness to spread over the arena.

His eyes never left the ugly face of Tasuko. The outline of the dragon appeared to be reflecting in his Jagan eye, Tasuko flinched, but, still he stood his ground.

He laughed. "Come on little man! I'm waiting!"

Hiei growled and ran at Tasuko, releasing his dragon, the dragon would definitely devour Tasuko. Tasuko was definitely not ready for this kind of pain.

"Dragon of the Darkness Flame!" screamed Hiei, and the dragon headed straight for Tasuko, and the last things he saw before he was consumed by the flames were the eyes of the dragon, and the evil smirk of it's wielder.

----- A/n: I know, probably not a good description of the attacks, but oh well. I'm too lazy to do anymore right now.
