Chapter 3: The Challenge
By InuShemeeko
Kurama saw the energy ball coming toward Yusuke. But by the time he did it was to late.
"Yusuke look out!"
Yusuke looked up to see a bright light hurtling toward him.
"What the...holy crap."
The energy ball slammed into his stomach throwing him back down the hall to land against the wall. The energy ball then bounced off of him only to fly back down the hallway to Koenma's office. Yusuke started to pull him self away from the wall.
"Could anyone tell me what the hell that was?"
Kurama looked at Yusuke and asked, "Are you all right Yusuke?"
"I'm fine I just bruised a rib that's all."
Hiei looked down at Yusuke is disgust.
"If you hadn't been day dreaming you would have sensed it coming."
Yusuke looked up at Hiei and replied with, "Shut up. I'm not perfect ok."
Hiei smirked at him.
"Well, some of us are. You had best be glad that who ever the attack came from didn't wish to kill you. Only test you."
Akiko turned to Koenma and winced.
"Ouch that had to hurt."
The energy ball disappeared into her hand. Koenma looked over at Akiko, sweat running down his face.
"What are you doing? You're going to kill him?"
Akiko shook her head her raspberry hair flying from side to side.
"If I had wanted to kill him I would have and Kurama and Hiei know it."
Koenma started to stutter, "But...but?"
Akiko eyes sparkled as she looked at Koenma.
"You still got that training room? I could use a work out."
Koenma looked at her confused.
"What?"
Akiko looked at him and sighed, "Well you won't let me test Yusuke out so I have to do something."
Koenma whined, "But why do you need to test him?"
Anger shone in her eyes as she looked at Koenma.
"Hisoka will kill him if I don't."
Koenma sighed, "Okay do it."
Akiko tried to hold back her excitement as she disappeared out the door in a flash. Koenma didn't even get to see her leave. Akiko zipped down the hall, she eyes caught sight of Yusuke brushing himself off. She flew by Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara, grabbed Yusuke and zipped out the door.
"Sorry guys. Got to borrow him for a second."
Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara all turned to see Koenma running out of his office, Ogre running after him. Kuwabara looked down at Koenma.
"Where the heck is she taking Urameshi?"
Koenma sighed, "She is taking him out to challenge him."
Hiei looked at Koenma.
"You think that she will be able to defeat Yusuke. She might need some help."
Kurama shook his head.
"Hiei have you truly forgotten the first time she met you? She had you pinned before Yusuke did."
Hiei sneered over at Kurama.
"Of course not it was one of the most degrading days of my life. Until now no one but you and Koenma knew about."
Kuwabara looked over at Koenma and saw sweat rolling down his face.
"Don't worry Koenma I'm sure Yusuke won't hurt her to bad."
Koenma look at the three and then answered
"It's not Akiko I'm worried about. It's Yusuke, he might need all the help he can get."
*******************************************************************
Akiko set Yusuke down in the clearing that she had chosen to test Yusuke in.
"Well we're here."
Yusuke looked around him.
"Where are we? Where's here?"
Akiko gave a small laugh as she walked away from Yusuke.
"We are just outside of Koenma's palace."
Yusuke was just about to ask her who she was and why she had brought him there. When a spirit ball slammed into him knocking him from his feet.
"Hey, what the hell was that?"
Akiko sighed and shook her head her raspberry hair shaking over her shoulders.
"That was your test shot and you did even block it."
Yusuke narrowed his eyes at her. "Who the heck are you anyway?"
All Akiko did was stare back at him.
Yusuke scratched his head. "Hey wait a minute you're that other detective aren't you?"
Akiko nodded and took a step backwards.
"Don't take any of this personal Yusuke. I just have to see if you are up to handling this next case. If you can deal with me you can deal with this case."
Akiko pulled her hand back and opened it as energy shot from it.
"Bouncing Spirit Ball!"
Yusuke dodged the ball as it shot toward him. He was distracted as his surrounding changed into a small arena. He then saw a very teenage looking Koenma watching him from the small stands along with Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. Akiko had seen the presence of the others had distracted him. So she took full advantage of the situation.
"Spirit Spikes!"
Twenty different white spikes flew from her hands straight toward Yusuke. Kuwabara managed to call out to him.
"Hey, Urameshi look out!"
Yusuke turned but not in time to miss all of the spikes. Ten managed to come in contact with his body, forcing him backward and pinning him against the wall of the small arena. Akiko watched as Yusuke cried out in pain as blood then oozed out of the holes the spikes had made in his body. Akiko sighed as she started toward him.
"Come on Yusuke, are you even going to try to defined yourself? I'm already winning and I haven't given you my best shot yet."
Yusuke groaned as he pulled himself away for the wall the spike having faded away.
"Are you kidding lady I'm just getting warmed up."
Yusuke stood and readied himself.
"Spirit Gun!"
Akiko felt the attack coming and missed being hurt baldly. Her right shoulder however had been grazed by Yusuke's attack. She smiled at Yusuke as she picked herself off of the ground.
"There see now that's what I'm talking about. Now I think its time for me to end this test. We shall see if you can handle my next attack?"
Koenma's voice broke the silence that had fell between Akiko and Yusuke.
"Akiko you promised that you wouldn't kill him."
Akiko laughed at Koenma.
"I'm not I'm just going to give him a little taste. If he doesn't die form this attack then he just might make it."
Yusuke just stared at her for a minute.
"Lady you mind telling me what you are talking about?"
"Sure I would love to Yusuke."
Yusuke watched as Akiko took a stance he had never seen before. A strong wind appeared and whipped Akiko's raspberry hair around her face. Her lavender-green eyes turned gold and then turned back to normal.
"Coyote Spirits!"
Yusuke watched in disbelief as the white energy surrounding Akiko, transformed into six white transparent coyotes. Yusuke could not tell that they were completely made from the energy that was pooling from Akiko's body. Akiko glanced over at Yusuke as he started to back away. Kuwabara started to yell at Yusuke.
"Come on Urameshi you can take them."
Akiko's eyes sparkled as she looked at Yusuke.
"Do you wish for me to call them off? Or do you plan on taking care of them?"
"You got that lady. They're mine."
"If you wish Yusuke."
The think that he did next surprised her. Not only would he beat the coyote spirits, but he risked killing her as well. Maybe even killing himself as well.
"Yusuke Wait!"
But it was to late.
"Shot Gun!"
TBC
(In an attempt to over come Akiko's coyote spirits Yusuke fired his shot gun. Will either spirit detective survive as the two attacks colloid?)
