((Here's the next chapter. Please tell me what you think!!!))

"Poseidon's Fury is my ultimate attack," Ponti said. "You should be honored that I'm willing to use it on you." Kuwabara grimaced as a torrential downpour started. "You should be honored that I'm even letting you use it!" he shouted over the wind. "I could beat you right now if I wanted to!" Ponti smirked. "Try me."

"Spirit Sword!" Kuwabara yelled. He ran at the slim fighter, only to slip on the wet concrete and fall flat on his face. "Pitiful," the Water Master sneered. "Poseidon's Fury!" The wind picked up. Lightning cracked and thunder rumbled. Water came pouring out of the sky even harder than before. It flooded the ring and started to wash Kuwabara away. He jumped up, only to be met by another huge current and knocked off his feet.

"Ponti summons a huge storm with high winds and raging waters, catching Kuwabara and practically the entire fan base totally unaware!" Koto yelled. Then she yelped as a wave of water came rushing her way. "As a cat demon and an official hater of water, I feel I have very good reason to RETREAT!" she yelled, and jumped out of the ring, though the grassy area was no better off then the concrete ring.

Yusuke strained to see through the blinding downpour. "Kuwabara!" he yelled, but his voice was lost in the storm.

Kuwabara struggled against the violent waves of water smashing against his body. "Foolish boy," Ponti said, totally unaffected by the water coursing over the ring. "You should have given up when you had the chance." The pace of the streams twined around her fingers quickened even more, causing the rain to fall faster and harder.

The muddy ground was unable to soak up anymore of the water. The water began rising, forming a small moat around the ring. Koto threw herself into the stands to escape. The other members of Team Avorai jumped lightly up to the wall that barricaded the stands. "I suggest you do the same!" the one Yusuke identified as Reti yelled to him. "It's only going to get worse!" The Detective growled but did as he was told.

Reti was right. Soon the water level had risen to ring height, and the water was beginning to creep over the concrete. Ponti stood in the center, ocean blue eyes shimmering, looking at the form of Kuwabara sliding all over the place. "You should forfeit now, before you and all the people in this stadium drown!" she yelled.

"No! Gah!" the orange haired boy yelled back, right before slipping and falling flat on his face. The rising water swept him right out of the ring, but since water is not a solid surface, Koto couldn't take the ten count.

The water was up to Ponti's knees, but she didn't care. Using her right hand, she directed the water current, and with the current went Kuwabara. He was jostled below the water, pulled to the bottom, pushed back to the surface, gasping for air, but instead water filled his mouth.

Soon, though, the Water Master became bored. With a flick of her wrist, the storm clouds disappeared. The wind died down, the sun came out, and the water began to evaporate. Finally it was all gone, and Yusuke could make out Kuwabara's motionless body lying facedown in the grass. "Oh, no," he muttered.

Yusuke jumped down and squelched over the grass to his teammate. "Please don't be dead," he murmured. The Detective rolled his teammate over. He wasn't breathing. Wincing slightly, Yusuke started to use the same technique Kuwabara had used to revive Kurama.

And just as soon as he leaned down, Kuwabara's eyes shot open. Yusuke jumped back, and his teammate coughed up water while spluttering something incomprehensible but probably having to do with the fact that Yusuke was about to "kiss" him.

Luckily Yusuke recovered from his shock just in time to hear Koto begin the count. "Get in the ring!" he yelled. Kuwabara wasted no time and struggled back to the ring just as Koto said nine.

Ponti frowned. "You still haven't had enough?" Kuwabara shook his head. "Nope. I'm gonna win this, no matter how long it takes. Spirit Sword!" he yelled suddenly, rushing at his opponent. The Water Master quickly dodged his sudden assault.

Kuwabara lunged at her again and again, giving her no time to counterattack. Finally he abandoned his sword and began using his fists. "What the heck is he doing?" Yusuke asked himself.

Then Ponti saw her chance and tried to break away from Kuwabara's flying fists, only to be met with a powerful side kick. She turned the fall into a liquid flip and landed on her feet. "Now you're in for it," she muttered. The Water Master reached down to pull the glove off her right hand...and felt no cloth. --What?-- she thought.

"Looking for something?" Kuwabara asked. Her eyes shot to him. Clutched in his right hand was a cloth glove. "You..." Ponti hissed. "You'll pay for that. Poseidon's Fury!" Nothing happened. Narrowing her eyes, she yelled her attack name again. Still nothing happened.

Now frightened, the Water Master held her right hand in front of her eyes. Twined around her fingers were the outlines of the tiny rivers, but no water was to be seen. The look on her face was one of sheer shock. Never had those streams dried out. Never. She clutched her wrist and backed away. "What...have you done?" she yelled.

Kuwabara smirked. "Remember when you told me why you wear the gloves? You said the rivers were the source of your power. You never said what would happen if the water dried up, but I figured it would drain your power. So while you were powering the currents, I took the glove, and then distracted you afterwards so that the sun would do the rest."

"So he does have some brains up there," Yusuke muttered.

Kuwabara moved forward. "And now I win. Spirit Sword!" Ponti moved back, but not in time to dodge a full force attack from Kuwabara's yellow energy sword. She was flung high into the stands.

"One! Two! Three!" Koto counted. "Heh. I win," Kuwabara said. "Eight! Nine! Ten! And Kuwabara wins the match!" Koto yelled.

Kuwabara pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah! Now all I gotta do is beat those other two masked people and then Urameshi can beat their leader! Who dares to challenge me next?"

A fighter with pink eyes shaded by purple bangs stepped into the ring. "I am Yukemonti, but you may call me Yuke. I will fight next and make up for our team's losses." Kuwabara rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Bring it on!"
