"Kiri, I want to ask you something," Botan said. "If it has to do with me and Hiei no," "No it doesn't and I'm sorry about that it was Yusuke's idea. Would you be our substitute with Rikku, you know in the tournament?" Botan asked. "Sure I guess so," I replied. "Great! Where you going somewhere?" Botan asked again. "No why?" I asked. "Oh just wondering," Botan replied. So I went to sit in the windowsill and think. Exactly an hour later Hiei came out and sat in his usual spot in the windowsill across from me. "What time did you get up?" He asked me. "Five. I was going to go check out the stadium but Botan stopped me and asked me if I wanted to be one of your substitutes in the tournament, and I agreed," I stated. "Oh," Hiei said. There was a moment of silence until Yusuke came out of his room. "What are you two up to?" He asked annoyingly. "Talking," I said. "About what?" Botan asked as she came out of her room as well. "Her being a substitute in the tournament now leave us alone," Hiei interjected. "Just to let you know all members have to be at the stadium at seven and its six fifteen now," Yusuke said. "Fine I'll go now so I don't have to deal with you two," I said and started towards the door. As soon as I closed the door I opened it back again because I didn't know where the stadium was. Yusuke and Botan burst into laughter. "I know where it is," Hiei replied as he walked out the door with me. "Can you go really fast or do I have to go slow?" He asked. "You can go fast, I can keep up," I replied. So Hiei took off and I followed him almost exactly matching his speed. We got to the stadium in no time at all. "No one has ever gotten that close to my speed before," Hiei said. "I learned how to run really fast when I was little," I replied. "Hn," He replied. We walked down the hall and into a little room where the team is supposed to meet. I sat on the table and Hiei sat on the windowsill. We talked until the rest of the team got to the room. Botan then went over the team we are supposed to be fighting today. "They all relate to some animal. There is Tyrande, the spider one; Illidan, the tiger one; Kynatu, the lizard one; Berunot, the elephant one; their leader, the lion one, Leone; and their substitute, Yucatan, the bug one," Botan explained. Just then the announcer came on and we raced downstairs to be announced. We first began by the team captains deciding the order. "Let's just send in one of our fighters until all five have fought," Illidan said. "Fine with me," Yusuke replied. They both turned and walked back to there teams. "It's been decided. Each team will send in one fighter for a one on one match until all five fighters have fought," Juri, the announcer said. One of the members of the other team went into the ring. It was Tyrande, the spider girl. "Kiri, you're up first. Oh and try not to make a fool of yourself," Yusuke said. "I won't, thank you," I replied as I walked into the ring. "Ready?" Juri asked. We both nodded. "Fight!" Juri yelled. Tyrande attacked first, she grabbed my wrap hiding my Jagan. "I want a good fight," Tyrande said ripping the wrap. "Fine you want a good fight you're going to get one." I replied. She charged at me again but this time I was ready. Punches and kicks flew every where. We were going at it for a while until she stopped and did a back flip. We were both out of breath. Then she came at me again and hit me hard in the stomach. I flew back, landed on my right arm, and was down for the count. My head was hanging off the edge of the ring facing my teammates. Suddenly all my eyes opened including my Jagan. My eyes were all blood red and the Jagan had taken control. I got up to find my bone sticking out of my arm which I fixed easily with the healing powers I didn't know I had. I charged at Tyrande and kicked her in the back of the head. She went flying forward but caught herself and turned around. "I'm glad to see you've grown stronger than you were supposed to," Tyrande said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You are my daughter but you have different chemicals in you that make you different than the rest of us," Tyrande explained. "You're joking, right?" I asked in alarm. "No, it's no joke. You and your sister were both drugged and experimented on when you were little," Tyrande replied smiling evilly. I charged at her again kicking and punching. "Darkness Bind!" I yelled as a dark bolt of electricity, made of my spirit energy, came out of my hand and into Tyrande's body. "You only have one minuet until my attack devours you from the inside out," I said after my attack. "You would kill your own mother?" Tyrande asked with a fearful tone in her voice. "You're no mother of mine," I answered. Tyrande started to scream so loud it hurt my head. I stumbled over to her and kicked her as hard as I could. The screaming immediately stopped, and Tyrande was dead, I had snapped her neck. Juri the announcer went to check her pulse only to find her dead and announce it to the crowd. I came back to my senses and fell forward, knocked out. When I awoke again I was on the ground with Kurama leaning over me and Botan fussing over me. "Are you okay?" Kurama asked. "I think so," I responded. "Well Yusuke's fighting in the last match now, so after we'll bring you back to the room," Botan said. "I'm fine, really," I reassured. "But you're not, you're as pale as a ghost," Botan replied. Just then the match ended and Yusuke had won. "Are you ok?" Yusuke asked as he came over to us. "I don't think she is," Botan answered. "I'm fine," I said again. "Are you mad at her?" Yusuke asked with a worried tone of voice. "Yes," I responded quickly. He could tell I didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Come on lets go," Kurama said changing the subject. So we all walked back together, even Hiei. That night we spent laughing and talking until we all either fell asleep or dragged off to bed. The next morning I was up really late for me. I went into the living room only to find a note from Yusuke saying that they were at the tournament and not to leave. "Sure, ruin my fun," I said sarcastically to myself. I went to the windowsill and tried to make sense of what I heard yesterday. About three hours later everyone trudged in slowly including a beat up looking Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Rikku. "Good morning, Kiri," Yusuke said coming over and messing up my hair before going to sit down. "Hi," I said fixing my hair. Hiei came and sat across from me in the windowsill. "Are you feeling better today?" Botan asked me. "Better than I did yesterday," I replied. "I'm sorry you couldn't have been at the match," Yusuke said regretfully. "It's okay I needed time to think anyway," I answered. "Here," Hiei said handing me a red bandanna, similar to the first one. "Thanks. It's my favorite color besides black," I stated. I took it from him and tied it around my head, and looked up only to find Hiei quickly looking away. He still had a worried look on his face, so I held his hand and squeezed it for reassurance. He looked down at my hand somewhat surprised but smiled after a while, and I smiled back. Kurama had noticed Hiei smiling, which he never does, and us holding hands, but didn't say anything about it. We all fell asleep right where we were and didn't wake up until late. Once everyone was up and ready to start the day Botan needed to show me something. It was a picture of Hiei and me asleep holding hands.
