Yu Yu Hakusho
9: Team Masho
Saga: The Dark Tournament
"This match puts Team Urameshi's Yusuke against Jin from Team Masho!" Koto announced sounding at least half excided. Maybe in this match one of them with finally die…
"Sucks that your little friend over there got injured so quickly," Jin said shacking his head in disappointment. He crossed his arms over his bare chest and then looked at Yusuke. "I was looking forward to fighting her in this tournament, though then again I couldn't have asked more to be fighting the famous Spirit Detective…"
"Am I really…" Yusuke said smiling at him as he begun to edge his way into his fighting stance. "Famous am I?" He looked over at Koto who was starring at the two of them blankly.
"Match begin!" Koto shouted out as she flung her hand down signaling the beginning of the match. She then jumped out of the way in a sort of state of panic as Yusuke had already lunged himself at Jin, fist blared.
"Aren't you just a fast one!" Jin shouted out laughing a little. "But not fast enough Urameshi!" He pulled himself away from Yusuke's fists and then threw a kick at him.
"I'm fast enough!" Yusuke shouted back at him, a small frown on his face as he blocked Jin's kick with his arms crossed over his chest. "It's yourself you should really be worrying about!" He threw another punch and this time it made contact. He smiled as he saw Jin flinch a little at the sudden punch to the jaw.
"You're in for it now detective," Jin said smiling at him as he spat the blood out of his mouth. "Though I do have to say you're a funny guy and I do like you for that…" He drew his left fist into the air and begun to form a whirl of air and sprit energy. "And for that I won't kill you…"
Damn… Hopefully Yusuke isn't thinking the same thoughts… Koto held the microphone in her hands limply as she starred at the two of them, now completely bored with the lack of blood and death.
"Tornado fist!" Jin shouted out launching his attack at Yusuke.
It came whirling down the ring and right at Yusuke, making full contact.
Yusuke went flying back, his arms back to being crossed over his chest in defensive mode. Sweat was starting to roll down his forehead as he tried to force back the attack. The edge of the ring was coming closer and closer. His eyes shot to his feet and a sudden panic came over his face, only two more feet till the edge of the ring.
He clenched his teeth together tightly and then pushed back against the attack, successfully causing it to disincarnate before him. A small smile formed and he lowered his arms to his sides.
"Nice attack…"
"Of course!" Jin yelled launching himself forward. He slammed his fist into Yusuke's jaw and then kicked him out of the ring. Causing Koto to fall down as he went flying right past her and into the wall of the stadium.
"Hey! Don't attack the ref!" Koto shouted out jumping up, she was pointing her index finger at Jin angrily.
"Sorry," Jin replied scratching the back of his head nervously. "I didn't mean too, it just happened…"
"Sure…" Koto muttered to herself angrily as she dusted her clothes off.
"Huh?" Jin muttered as he noticed a sudden crunching sound. His face turned into a small frown. Yusuke was back up.
"You think that was going to stop me?" Yusuke asked walking back over to the ring slowly, dusting his own clothes off in the process.
"Lucky you are…" Jin said frowning in disappointment. He then crouched down and launched himself into the air. "But you won't be so lucky this time!"
Tornado Fists were being formed in each of his hands now.
"You'd better be at your fullest this time Yusuke! Or you won't be so lucky!" Jin yelled at him as he noticed Yusuke jumping up after him.
"We'll see about that!" Yusuke shouted out, his face showing a little regret to his sudden movements to advance Jin. He knew he didn't have enough Spirit Energy to defend himself fully from this up coming attack. It he caught it head on he was going to lose the match. "Time for something stupid…"
He blinked a little confused at the sudden new actions that had taken place. His whole body had been suddenly surrounded by Spirit Energy, his over Spirit Energy.
--------------------
"Interesting…" Hiei said looking up at Yusuke with the others besides Lain who was still passed out against the wall behind them.
"You'd have to wonder how he suddenly got all of this Spirit Energy out of no where right?" Kurama asked taking notice to Hiei's reaction to Yusuke's sudden actions. "A moment ago he barely had any…"
"Exactly…" Hiei said looking over in Lain's direction. "Too bad she's missing this…"
"I don't think she'll mind," Kurama said laughing a little. "If anything it might make her a little angry…" He laughed to himself. "I mean anyone more powerful than her?"
"Maybe…" Hiei said trailing off as he took his eyes off of her. At least she was quite when she slept.
--------------------
Here it goes… Jin launched both of his attacks at Yusuke.
A small smile was on Yusuke's face as he caught both of Jin's attacks in head of his hands. The tornados were now rendered useless. "You're the one who's got to try harder!" He flung his legs and arms out so he was now in the form of an X. "SPIRIT WAVE!"
A huge blast of blue Spirit Energy was launched at Jin, nailing him right in the stomach.
Damn… Jin twisted his face into pain as he went soaring down.
--------------------
"Wow! Yusuke!" Keiko shouted out looking extremely shocked at what Yusuke had just done.
"He must be getting better," Shizuru remarked crossing her arms over her chest as she sighed.
"Of course he is," Botan added smiling. "He is the Spirit World's number one detective you know!"
Yusuke… Keiko starred up at Yusuke with a little fear in her face.
--------------------
Jin clenched his teeth as he was sent flying down out of the ring. He smashed into the ground a few inches away from Lain, who was still amazingly sleeping through the now angered crowd. Team Urameshi was going to win another battle.
Lain opened her eyes groggily and look to her left side as she yawned. Jin was implanted into the ground, apparently down for the count.
Koto started the count.
"So you've finally woken up?" Hiei said looking at her a little stupidly.
"Well yeah," Lain replied. She stood up a little shakily as Koto announced that Yusuke was the winner of the battle. "Wouldn't you wake up if someone crash landed a few feet away from you?"
Kurama laughed to himself and then shook his head at her remark. "I do have to say you are right about that one!"
-------------------
Yukina put her hand up to her mouth a little nervously as she walked around the entrance to the stadium.
How am I supposed to get in? She sighed and then continued her search.
-------------------
"Dammit…" the owner of Team Masho muttered under his breath as Yusuke had been announced the winner.
The crowd was getting more and more riled up. Team Urameshi had a real chance at winning the tournament.
The man turned over to Risho and looked up at him. "Can you handle the next fight?"
"Oh course…" Risho said smiling. "I do have an idea though…"
"Eh?" the man asked as a smile spread across his face.
-------------------
"So, who's fighting next?" Lain asked but started again before anyone had the chance to reply. "Me? Okay! I'll give it my all!" She begun to walk towards the ring but let out a sudden scream of pain a second latter as Hiei had poked her in the back with his finger. "Don't do that!"
"What a baby…" Hiei muttered and then sighed. "You're in no condition to fight! And you know it!"
Lain raised an eyebrow at him, he was showing concern for her? "Huh? Hiei! Are you doing what I think you're doing!?"
His face went a sudden little tinge of pink. "No! I don't care for your well-being! You're just a big risk for the team! If you lost the match then we'd be out another fighter!"
"Shut-up!" Lain retorted. "You are so blushing!"
"No I'm not!" Hiei shot back at her angrily. His hands were now at his sides in fists, even though he knew he was lying. "It's just your stupid imagination!"
"Just like an old married couple," Kurama said crossing his arms over his chest as he shook his head at the two of them.
"NO WERE NOT!" Lain screamed at Kurama. She looked at Hiei who was looking back at her with the same expression. "Should we get him?"
"Yeah," Hiei replied looking at Kurama with Lain.
-------------------
Yusuke looked at the two of them a little taken back. Hiei and Lain were chasing Kurama around as though they were rioting against him.
"I guess I'm still fighting then?" Yusuke said to one but himself. He sighed and then got back into the ring as Risho jumped into it.
"Oh?" Koto said looking at Yusuke a little happily. He looked as though he were sure to die this time. "Fighting again? Well then! It's settled! Yusuke verses Risho! Battle begin!" She jumped back one again as she signed the beginning of the match with her hand.
Yusuke smiled and then lunged himself at Risho, but ended up stopping half way as a sudden announcement was beginning to take place.
"This battle has been momentarily paused," a voice announced over the speakers.
Everyone was in a dead silence. Hiei and Lain had stopped chasing Kurama and the three of them were now starring up intently at the announcers intently.
"Yusuke Urameshi from Team Urameshi has been disqualified from this match, he is to back down from the ring," the announcer said.
The crowd was still silent but showed all signs of being baffled and confused.
"WHAT!?" Lain screamed out sounding utterly mad. Her hands were now in fists as she starred up at the announcing box madly. "What's this bullshit you're saying!?"
"I repeat Yusuke will step out of the ring immediately!" the announcer continued "The ten count was delayed from the last fight so he is disqualified. Please step out of the ring…"
The crowd seemed to catch wind of what was happening. Yusuke was gone! They all cheered with happiness, while Keiko and other two girls starred around at them in disgust.
"I am the victor then?" Risho said smiling evilly through his armor. "Step out of the ring little man…"
Yusuke shot him a nasty look and slowly turned his back to him and stepped out of the ring angrily. Stupid Koto… Why the hell didn't she do the count!? He shot a nasty look at Koto who jumped in surprise and continued to walk over to Lain who was now screaming insults at the committee.
"What a loser," Kuwabara said steeping into the ring weakly. He could barely stand on his own two feet; the fight with Ichikagi had been a lot more stressful that he had thought. "I don't give into cheaters, but the fight should be won like a real man…"
--------------------
Shizuru frowned and then turned over to Keiko. The two of them had left Atsuko in the stands, while she and Keiko had wandered off, Botan going in her own direction. "Keiko… I want you to go and get Botan fast!"
"Okay!" Keiko shouted out running away from her on her search.
Shizuru watched Keiko until she vanished from her sight and then slowly turned around, her arms crossed over her chest. "What are you going here?"
Yukina stood before her, her hands held tightly together in front of her. "I'm here to give my support to Yusuke and Kuwabara… And I've also heard rumors that my brother might be here…"
"Your brother!?" Botan shouted out jumping. Her and Keiko had just arrived when Yukina had started to talk. I hope she doesn't know about Hiei!
Tell her and Die…Hiei… Botan had a nervous look on her face as the rest of the group looked at her confused.
"Botan? Are you alright?" Yukina asked her.
"Yeah I'm fine," Botan said trying to wave the subject away. "Don't you think we should get back to the tournament now?"
"Of course!" Keiko shouted out. "Kuwabara's fighting right now!"
Yukina snapped at what she had just said and looked at Keiko a little scared. "Is he really?"
"Yes!" Keiko said as her and the other girls started off in the direction of the entrance to the stadium.
--------------------
"Dammit," Shizuru said frowning as a group of demons stood in front of them. "Guess I'm going to have to get violent…" She formed her hand into a fist and then knocked out the first demon that stood in front of her.
The rest of the demons looked back at her a little reaprochingly. As though they had thought it through wrong.
"Anyone else want a piece of me or my friends here?" Shizuru asked glaring at them. They all gulped at her and then ran away in terror. Shizuru cracked a smile and begun to walk forward with the others.
--------------------
"I'm fighting this round," Kuwabara spat out at him angrily, and to his teammates. "None of you are gunna stop me either…"
Lain and the others looked up at Kuwabara worried, were they going to make a huge mistake if they let him fight against Risho?
"Risho!" Touya shouted out walking over to Risho. "Do not resort to cheating… Gama gave his life honorably and it would be a shame to waste it now…"
Risho glared down at Touya as his arms shifted into a stone. He raised it into the air and then slammed it down over Touya's head. "Do not forget the real purpose of why we are here…"
"Touya!" Lain screamed out angrily as she lunged herself forward at Risho. She was caught around the middle in mid air, this time by Hiei and not Yusuke.
"Don't do it…" Hiei said, he had sign's of jealously written all over his face. "Unless you have a secret thing for Touya…"
Lain's face twisted up into anger as she raised her hand, smacking him across the face good. He let her go instantly, a little dumbstruck as he stood still and watched her walk over to Kurama.
--------------------
Kuwabara stood across the ring from Risho, the fight had just begun.
Wow! This took forever for me to post a new chapter! I'm sorry! My mind went on a walk and all of a sudden it came back to this and I wanted to write more! You can expect more chapters soon in the future!!
