Kuwabara cracked his fingers. "Let's get this over with." Kuma cocked an eyebrow. "Still think you can beat me in a second?" Kuwabara shrugged. "I'll make it three seconds." Kuma laughed. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time. "Why don't you make it never?"
Kuwabara ground his teeth. "You think you're so cool with your fancy light tricks but nothing can beat my Spirit Sword!" The sword again appeared in Kuwabara's hands. He ran at Kuma, screaming a battle cry. Kuma giggled and jumped away from his blow. Each time he swung she easily evaded. --Man, she's fast,-- thought Kuwabara. --Almost as fast as Hiei.-- So he tried a new tactic.
He lunged, but in a flash of light she was gone. His sword bent and followed her every move. "Very clever," remarked Kuma. Then a punch to the face from Kuwabara sent her flying. She landed with a crash in the ring floor.
"What...happened?" she breathed as she stumbled up. Kuwabara was there already, and kicked her in the stomach before she had a chance to recover from her awkward position.
As she flew backward, a beam of light shot from her hand. "Bind...of the...Glowing Sphere!" Glowing specks settled in a circle around Kuwabara. "What the..." They flew around his body, and each rotation brought them closer. Finally they tightened around his body, pinning his arms to his sides. "Ahh!" he squealed.
"I didn't think I'd have to restrain you," muttered Kuma as she rose from the ring floor. She brushed some of her orange hair out of her eyes and wiped the corner of her mouth. "But you've proven to be quite a challenge. How were you able to hit me?"
Kuwabara managed to snap out of his terror for a second. "Simple. I used my bending sword as a distraction and when you came in my direction I punched you." Kuma grinned. "Of course. You are much smarter than you look. Now, I'd love to just stand here and chat, but I have a fight to win."
Hiei grinned wickedly. "Come out, fox. I know you're here. I can hear your breath. Smell your fear. Taste your pain." Kurama lurked in the shadows, bleeding profusely from the cuts that mangled his body. He clutched his Rose Whip tight in his hand. "Come out. Let me save you from your suffering." Hiei's grip tightened around the handle of his blood-stained katana.
"Rose Whiplash!!" came the strained voice. Hiei thrust his sword upward and let the whip encircle it and his arm. Then he pulled back. Kurama stumbled out of the shadows. In an instant Hiei was in front of him. He grabbed the fox's arm and pulled him close. The whip fell from Kurama's grasp and transformed into a rose.
Then the fire demon raised his sword, tip pointing to the left side of Kurama's back. He pulled the fox even closer, until their faces were only inches apart,and looked straight into his eyes. "Now you die," he whispered, and forcefully brought his weapon down.
