He stuck the needle into Hiei's arm. I had to have a dose of that stuff every week when I was here before. Unfortunately the needle went through Hiei's arm and hit my shoulder. I was about to yell when I covered my mouth. My father slowly injected the liquid into my system. Hiei knew it went through his arm but didn't know it hit me. "Now I'll give this liquid time to go through your system and I'll be back in about an hour or two. Don't go anywhere," my father teased. Hiei didn't reply. My father walked out. I crawled out from under the table. Kiken released Hiei again. Yusuke slipped off his chains and came over to us. "We have at least an hour to get out before he comes back," Kiken said. I tried to stand up but I couldn't. Everything was blurry and my system was going out of control since it has been a while since the last dose of Grathonite I had. "What's wrong?" Kiken asked me. They all had now noticed I wasn't standing and I didn't look too well. "I was under the table and the needle went through Hiei's arm and hit me. That stuff is in my system," I stopped because I couldn't think straight. "What?!" Hiei exclaimed, "Do you even know what it can do to you? This is bad!" "No, it's okay. I know what it does. When I lived here I used to have a dose of Grathonite every week. My body is just rejecting it since it's been a long time since I've had it. I'll be fine," I said. "Tell us what it does and we'll see if you're fine or not," Yusuke replied. "It will make my power grow and my body weak so I can't control it but my body used to be immune to it so I'm sure I'll be fine once my body realizes what it is," I explained. "There is an antidote," Kiken said. "Where?" Hiei asked. Kiken was about to answer when I cut in, "Farther in the cave but I don't need it, really, I'll be fine." "I'm not taking any chances," Hiei said, "You three get out. I'll go down and get the antidote." "No if one of us goes we all go," Yusuke replied. Kiken nodded. Hiei sighed, "I know there's no changing your mind. Okay let's go." Yusuke picked me up because I couldn't stand on my own and we started down the hallway. We came to a big stadium and we heard a voice come from the speakers. "In order to continue you must fight the same number of people that your team has, in your case four," the voice said. "One of them is in no condition to fight!" Yusuke yelled. "It does not matter, rules are rules," the voice said. "Then we'll just have to twist the rules," A voice said. We turned around to find Kurama and Kuwabara standing behind us. "Boy are we glad to see you guys," Yusuke said. "The only thing we can do to make sure Kiri doesn't fight is that one of us will have to fight again," Kurama explained. "And if that's against the rules I will fight because even if I lose and you all win. We go ahead," I said. Yusuke nodded. Yusuke laid me on the ground and I sat against the wall for support. "So now that you have two extra fighters it will be a six on six match," the speaker said. "Hey guys, this feels like the Dark tournament all over again doesn't it?" Yusuke asked. Hiei, who was leaning on the wall next to me, said nothing but Kurama nodded and Kuwabara said, "Hell yeah!" Kiken had no clue what he was talking about. The first fighter entered the ring. "I get dibs first!" Kuwabara said and he got into the ring before anyone could object. Well Unfortunately Kuwabara, Kurama, and Kiken lost so it was all up to me to tie the score at least. Of course the "committee" (which consisted of only my father) said no one could fight twice. I slowly stood up and walk to the ring. The Grathonite had gone through most of my body making me weak and my body still hadn't recognized it enough to fight it. When the speaker yelled fight the opponent was immediately attacking me. I could do nothing to block because I was too weak. The opponent stepped back as I fell to the ground. I had been trying to hold in my power but now decided it was an emergency and let go. My opponent jumped back as lightning and shadow erupted from my body. The shadow made it totally dark around the arena so it could see nothing. I could see since my eyes lit up a bright yellow making me see like it was broad daylight. The electricity sought out my opponent and grabbed it, electrocuting it and making it painful to the death. The lightning let go once it was dead and threw the corpse to the other side. The darkness faded slightly. I pulled my power back in and held my stomach. Hiei came into the ring and helped me up. "Remind me never to do that again," I said. It hurt like hell. My father appeared in the center of the ring. "I haven't seen that power in a long time. I forgot how powerful it was, no matter. You can go on but just remember there are more powerful obstacles along they way," he said. "But I thought you left," Hiei questioned. I knew the needle went through your arm and I new it hit her. I knew you would want the antidote. It's been so long that her body cant control the Grathonite anymore and her immunity has faded dramatically," Everyone was shocked that he knew except me. "He's a psychic. The darkness element allows him one extra power and his parents chose psychic. He chose electricity for me but my combination of electricity and darkness was either too easy to control or too wild to tame," I explained. "Very good I see you learned something while you were here and here I thought you didn't learn anything," my father taunted. "Rule one of victory, know everything about the opponent. You taught me that too except it wasn't rule one, it was rule two. Rule one was power is everything, which it isn't but you made me believe that like the heartless person you are," I replied. My father just laughed, "Oh that hurt, darling." He was being sarcastic and making me mad. My electricity started to want to break out. It got more powerful. I tried to keep it in by sinking to the ground and holding my stomach again. "Oh sorry I forgot about your little power tantrums. It's been a while," my father teased. He disappeared from the room. He made me really mad and a field of electricity surrounded me. Hiei tried to touch me, to calm me down but he got shocked terribly. I realized that I hurt him and the electricity faded as I started to cry. "I don't want to hurt him," I said to myself. Hiei had been tossed across the arena. I looked up. "Hiei I'm sorry," I said. Tears started coming down my cheeks. I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. It was Kiken. "Kiri, please don't give up. Don't worry he just wanted to help. He didn't know you can't control your powers," Kiken said. "Yeah and it didn't hurt that bad," Hiei said. He grinned. I wiped my eyes. "You didn't get hurt?" I asked. "Of course not. It was just a little shocking is all," Hiei answered. "However great your powers are they can never truly hurt the ones you love," Kiken said. I nodded, "You know you're really smart for a little kid." "Well I try," Kiken said. Hiei helped me to my feet again and we continued. We fought monster after monster and eventually the Grathonite started to calm a bit. It wasn't until the last room when my powers really erupted. As soon as I stepped into the room a force slammed me to the opposite wall. I felt the wound in my head that I got earlier reopen. I fell to the floor.
