Well, this'll probably be the last chapter before school starts on the 25th. After that, it'll be a chapter every 1 to 2 weeks. Please don't kill me for not updating quickly! There's only so much time I have on my hands, and so much time on the computers. More like on the computers, but whatever. Heh.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do own Inuyasha! ::huggles plushie:: But the series shall forever belong to Takahashi Rumiko.

Chapter 10: Fighting and Decisions

The Spirit Detective and the hanyou weren't exactly getting along well.

"Damn human!"

"Damn hanyou!"

So, they worked it out.

"Hey, you're not half bad," Yusuke said after yet another round of fist fighting.

"You either, human," the hanyou replied. At Kagome and most everyone else's pleading, neither had gone all out in their multiple fights against each other, just punches and kicks. Some of them got a little hard, which knocked over a few hundred trees, and some Spirit energy flickered in the mix with claws, but, for the two overly violent boys, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

"I don't understand those two," Kurama said after the two fighters came back bloody and bruised for the third day in a row. "They could be out fighting demons, but they decide to fight each other."

Hiei smirked. "Yusuke is always like that, and those two seem to be exactly alike. I wouldn't have expected any more from either one."

Everyone but the two topics nodded, sighing heavily.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Yusuke asked, glaring at the youkai.

"Just what it sounds like."

Kaede spooned more soup for the two. They tasted it, grimacing. Shippo giggled. "It's cold. You were out way too late for it to be warm."

"Feh." They ate it anyway.

"It's not my fault," the hanyou complained. "Mr. Spirit Detective wanted to use his Spirit energy in half his punches, so I had to punch back just as hard."

"Oh, yeah?" Urameshi replied, glaring at him. "You punched that hard, too, and before I used my Shotgun."

"Damn human! Would you quit..."

Everyone shook their heads, and went outside, leaving the two arguing over absolutely nothing.

"You know," Botan said, her pink kimono flapping in the night breeze, "I think those two are getting along quite well."

Kagome nodded in agreement. Almost everyone else looked at them like they were crazy. Hiei just ignored them, and went off toward the Goshinboku to hunt more demons.

"Well," the miko pointed out, "they both are headstrong, more than slightly idiotic, and thickskulled. They don't get along well with a lot of people, and have too much power in their hands to use it in a regular, normal way. Their hobbies include all sorts of fighting. How well do you think that they could get along?"

"I HEARD THAT!" Inuyasha called from the hut.

Kuwabara looked at everyone else. "Hey, Botan, when are we going to be able to get home? Hiei is starting to look bored, and if Urameshi and the hanyou fight anymore, we won't be able to fix them, even at a hospital."

"Yes," Miroku added. "Their heads would be split wide enough to let a breeze in."

Sango sighed. "Houshi, should we explain to them about Naraku? Maybe they could help us, at least somewhat. The Spirit Detective is very powerful, from what Botan has said, and so are Hiei and Kurama."

Miroku started to nod, when Kurama interupted. "Both Hiei and myself know of him. He was arguably the most powerful demon of Sengoku Jidai. Had possession of a good majority of the Shikon no Tama, was bandit Onigumo before he sold his soul to demons in order to have a body for the priestess Kikyo, whom he had fallen in love with."

Kagome whistled. "You're like a textbook, sometimes."

Kuwabara suddenly realized something. "Hey, what about me? Aren't I strong enough?"

'Took you long enough,' everyone else thought.

Inuyasha and Yusuke came out of the hut. "So, can we go look for Naraku? Tomorrow, maybe?" the hanyou asked. "We're beat."

"Well, you've only been fighting each other for three days straight," Sango said. "And that would probably be the best training these boys will get all week."

"Just as long as we're back by Monday," Yusuke said. "Keiko would kill me if I wasn't at school for an extra day. She'd give me her, 'I'm class representative, and you not being here is giving me a bad reputation!' speech. And if she says it to me one more time, I swear, I'll give up on school." Botan tried to talk for a second. "Shut up, Botan."

"Tch! Someone's not feeling too good, now is he?"

Dang, I have a small case of writer's block. But don't worry! Naraku hunting next chapter! And a surprise... ::evil grin:: Review, and the chapter will come faster!
