She picked the name and everything I'm so proud of her….
A/N: ok well here's the next chapter… more fighting… more humor… and a little fluff… I think…. And as always… sibling rivalry… dunno what else to say except… R&R&R (read relax and review)
CH 5: The calm before the storm
"Will the next fighters please step into the ring?"
"I'll go." Taro said, jumping into the ring. A tall man in a knight's cloth met him there. Taro removed his shirt and was ready to fight.
Taro VS. Haru! BEGIN!"
Haru began by taking out a sword. He revealed that "it" was actually a pair of double kodachis. His speed was incredible. Taro was barely able to defend himself. After a couple minutes of dodging, taro stood still. Haru's kodachis thrusts at taro's chest and, almost instantly, snapped in two. Haru stopped, befuddled by what had just happened.
"What the heck just happened?"
"Look at the hilts of those swords."
Haru looked down and the hilts in his hands. They were frozen and soon his hand would be as well. He dropped the remaining pieces of the kodachis and they shattered.
"Whoa! I don't believe it! Haru's swords were…. Frozen! When did that happen?" came Koto's voice.
"By lowering my body temperature, I can freeze anything that comes in contact with my skin." Taro explained.
"Ok then, try this!" Haru said, shooting energy out his palms.
Taro dodged.
"Long distance huh? I can play that way." He said balling up his fist. "ICE BEAM!"
A stream of energy hit Haru and he was frozen solid. The block of ice fell to the ground shattering.
Taro brought his body temperature to normal. A line of blood formed where the swords had made contact.
"That would have killed me if I hadn't stopped it."
"Winner of round 2, TARO!"
"Way to go Taro."
"Thanks. I think I'm gonna go sit down… before I pass out… you're up Haku."
"This'll be an easy win."
This time a woman stepped up. She had long brown hair and wore a blue tunic.
"Haku VS Koharu. READY SET GO!"
"I don't intend on using my new power on you. You're not worth it." Haku said.
"Well that isn't very nice."
"Who said I was nice?"
"You are a very rude child!"
"I am NOT a child!" Haku said, pulling out his katana.
"Ooooo, a sword. I'm scared now." Koharu said sarcastically.
"You should be."
Suddenly Haku's katana was set on fire.
"Impressive."
"Shut up and fight."
Koharu charged at Haku with her hands glowing. She wound up like a pitcher and threw the balls of energy at him. He dodged and watched the balls disintegrate everything they touched.
"Impressive." Haku said sarcastically.
"I'm getting very annoyed with you young man."
This got to Haku.
"That's it! You're not my mother so STOP acting like her!"
"I swear. You boys have 3 obsessions. Your swords, sex, and your mothers."
"You leave my mother outta this!" Haku screamed, his energy going crazy.
"Haku, be careful!" Rei warned.
"Now your girl friend steps in. Too bad she can't save you. I'll kill her when I'm done with you."
The flames on Haku's katana tripled in size and his red eyes were glowing brighter than the sun.
"You can insult me all you want, but the second you even THINK of laying one finger on my girlfriend, that's when you die! FLAMING SWORD OF DEATH!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Haku was on the other side of the ring and all that was left of Koharu were the burning pieces.
"Game, set, Match."
Back at the hotel, the gang was resting. They heard a knock at the door and Leiko got up to get it. It was their parents. They brought them something to eat. Rei had just gotten out of the shower and Taro was sleeping. The rest of them were talking about their next fight.
"Did you see how quickly they finished their opponents off? There wasn't a flaw to be seen in their defense." Kane stated.
"Yes. Too bad we didn't get to see more of their defense." Haku added.
They were, of course, referring to the other fight that had taken place on that day, the one that determined who they would be fighting next.
"What are you guys worried about? You'll do fine."
"Usually when a team focuses mostly on offense, they have a pretty weak defense."
"Perhaps. But I wouldn't put anything past them." Haku said tiredly.
"Kazuma, did you notice Nami and Yasuo talking to the team leader after that fight? Kuroko was her name if I remember right."
"Yeah, I did find that a bit strange."
"Is it possible she was the woman they were supposed to work with? I mean, I wasn't getting any bad vibes from her, and if Nami was in trouble, I would be the first to feel it." Taro informed them.
"I wouldn't doubt it any. There wasn't anything unusual about their conversation. Well, what I heard of it anyway." Kurama said, reassuringly.
"Kane, catch! Rei said, throwing him the wet towel.
"What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Wash it. And these too." She said, throwing her bloody clothes at him.
"What are you gonna do?"
"I'm going to sleep." She said, flipping him off as she walked away. "Oh yeah, and thanks."
"We should be leaving too." Botan said. "Need to get up early to watch the fights tomorrow."
"That's right. Chuu's team fights tomorrow afternoon."
"Let's hope they do better than they did last time."
