~~~ Let the Fight Begin!!! ~~~

The girls were on one side of the gym, while the boys were on the other side of the gym. They were each facing their opponent. They were each having a stare down. Kenshin had the whistle. He then blew it, marking the beginning of the fight. "Remember, don't destroy the gym!!!" Kuwabara yelled. "Oh yeah, and we'll have this battle in a one-on-one fashion, so Hiei and Jenny are first."

Jenny walked over to Hiei, walking gracefully with her flames. Her Jagan eye was glowing. "You can make the first move, if you want," said Jenny calmly.

"Good," said Hiei. He got out his sword. Jenny had hers behind her back. "Take this!" exclaimed Hiei as he swung his sword at her. Jenny then pulled hers out and blocked his swing.

"You're pretty strong Hiei, but you've got to try harder if you wanna beat me," informed Jenny.

"Damn you!" Hiei yelled.

"Tisk tisk, you should know better than to cuss at a woman during battle, you should cuss between attacks," Jenny remarked.

"Hnn," said Hiei. He then took a step away from her.

Jenny then got a fireball in her hands after she had sheathed her sword. It is one of her favorite attacks. "I call this move 'Flame of No Return.' Have fun with it!" She then hurled it at Hiei. He jumped out of the way, but then the flames followed him. "Did I forget to mention that they have a lock on your Spirit Energy and follow you until it gets you?" said Jenny. Kim and My were watching the show while they were eating popcorn.

"Why me? Now, let's see, how can I get away from these flames? How about I stand behind Jenny and hope they get her? Yeah, that'll work," Hiei thought. He then jumped behind Jenny and waited for a few seconds.

"That's not going to work," said Jenny. The flames then got to Hiei and burned his shirt. "You see, they can recognize where the Spirit Energy is hiding, so they followed yours and got you. Simple thinking, really."

"I'll have to remember that," replied Hiei. He had some scratches on his body. He then drew out his sword again. "I respect the fact that you want to beat me, but wanting might not be enough." He then ran at her with lightning speed and cut her in the arm. She stared at him.

"Wow, a person that can actually hurt me. I'm impressed," said Jenny. She then unsheathed her sword too and then said, "Have you forgotten about my flames? Because I have them, I can heal quickly. In fact, that cut that you gave me is healing right now. The flames have this kind of power that realizes that the wearer of them has been injured, so they fix up the person. But unless it's a really strong attack, all of those cuts will be nothing to me." They then ran into each other and their swords started to make clanging noises as they swung at each other. Some of the swings were so hard, they made sparks.

The little battle was getting long, so Jenny decided to finish it. "I'm not gonna kill you, 'cuz I kinda like you, so I'll just knock you out for a few minutes, long enough to let me win," said Jenny. She then got another set of flames to come around her, except these flames were black. "I don't really have a name for this, so here we go!" said Jenny. The flames then gathered to form an X shape, and then went onto Hiei. The flames then covered him. He then fell to the floor, and Jenny had won, like she had predicted.

"The match is over! Jenny has won!" announced Kenshin. He then blew his whistle to make it official. Hiei then regained consciousness and stood up. All of Jenny's flames had burned his shirt to a nothing.

"Great, now I've got to go and buy another shirt. What a waste of money!" exclaimed Hiei. He then went to sit down on a fold-up chair. Jenny followed and sat down next to him. "What do you want now?" asked Hiei.

"I just wanted to say that you had fought a good battle. That cut that you had given me did sting, just so you know," said Jenny.

"Thanks, you fought good, too," replied Hiei.

"Just don't think that you'll ever beat me, because you won't," said Jenny. She had a smile on her face.

"We'll see about that, we'll see," said Hiei. He then waited for the next fight.

"Okay! Here's the next battle! It's Kim versus Kurama! I really sound like Juri saying this..." said Kuwabara. Juri was the girl that was the 'referee' for the Dark Tournament.

"So, I guess we'll see who is stronger," said Kim. They were in the middle of the gym, waiting for the beginning whistle.

"I guess so," said Kurama. He started to get some chills, because of the cold mist around Kim.

"1... 2... 3... Okay! Let the fight begin!" yelled Kenshin.

Kurama immediately got out his Rose Whip and lashed it at Kim. She jumped out of the way. "Please tell me that's not your best..." said Kim.

"Oh, believe me, it's not," replied Kurama. He then got out two whips. Kim got out an ice sword. "Let's see how you do against two whips," commented Kurama.

"Let's see how your whips do against this blade," replied Kim. The sword was made out of solid ice, and it was smooth and had a sharp edge. It glistened in the light.

"That's impressive," said Kurama.

"Thanks, but less talk, more action," replied Kim. He then held a whip in each hand; the whips were long and thorny.

Kim and Kurama then ran at each other, Kurama lashed one whip at her, but she sliced it into little pieces, so he whipped the other one at her, but she sliced that one, too. He then got out the Death Seed. Without her knowing it, he then planted it into her.

"There, I think that should work. Kim, I've planted the Death Seed into you. It should take root soon enough," said Kurama.

"I've got a question about this plant, does it need a warm body to work?" asked Kim.

"Yeah... Why do you ask?" replied Kurama. He started to get nervous.

"Well, I'm an ice demon, so for me, my body is not warm at all, so that little seed of yours won't work on me. I'll just use the energy that you've put in it and use it as my own. I hope you don't mind," answered Kim. She then put away her sword and walked up to him. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll just give you a little frost, that's all," whispered Kim. She then took some of her mist in her hand and made it into a snowball. Kim took a step back and threw it at him. He didn't move, because he didn't think it would do anything to him, but when it struck him, he froze temporarily.

"Don't worry, he'll defrost in half an hour or something like that, just keep him out of the sun and he'll be fine," said Kim.

"I guess Kim is the winner!" said Kenshin. Kim then sat down next to Jenny.

"Kim, you've gone soft. Normally, you would've beaten the shit out of any challenge, but you let him live. Why?" asked Jenny. Kim didn't want to say her answer out loud, so she talked telekinetically.

'Why did you let Hiei live?' asked Kim '... Because I kind of like him... Is that so wrong?' Jenny replied.

'You've just answered your question. I'm starting to have feelings for this demon.' said Kim. Kim then wanted to play a little joke on Jenny.

"Hey Hiei!" yelled Kim.

"What?" asked Hiei.

"Jenny likes -'' Kim was interrupted when Jenny put her hand over Kim's mouth.

"What does Jenny like? Does she like to torment with humans or something?" asked Hiei. He was a little bit confused.

"Oh, she meant to say that I like your sword. It's very shiny, and, um, sturdy, yeah, that's it, sturdy," said Jenny. She then glared at Kim.

"Whatever," said Hiei. He then muttered, "Stupid girls."

"Hey! I heard that," said Jenny.

"Like I care," replied Hiei.

Jenny then let it slide. Kim then laughed. By then, they had returned to their human form, except for My. It was her turn to fight. "Okay, this is the last fight. My, Yusuke, step up to the middle of the gym," said Kuwabara. "Okay, now let's begin!"

My then rose into the air. "Great, now I've got to fight another flying demon. It's my lucky day," said Yusuke.

"What's the matter, Spirit Detective? Am I too high up for you to reach? Do I need to get lower so you can hit me?" asked My. She was teasing him.

"Nope, your just at the right height. I just hope that you can dodge my Spirit Gun like Jin did," said Yusuke as he was taking aim.

"I wouldn't do that, Yusuke. If she does dodge it, you could make a hole in the roof, and Kuwabara did say not to destroy the gym," said Kenshin.

"Fine, don't let me do my trademark move, I'll manage," said Yusuke. "You got off easy this time, but don't let your guard down." My was just floating in the air, not having a single care in the world. "HEY!!!! I'M TALKIN' TO YOU!!!! These demons just don't take me seriously enough..." yelled Yusuke. He then jumped high up into the air and kicked her in the leg.

"Hey! What was that for?" asked My. It did hurt her.

"That was for not paying attention!" yelled Yusuke.

My then flew down and forced the wind to blow him down to the ground. "Not paying attention, HUH? Well you can pay attention to my fist that's going to your face!" yelled My. She then punched him hard in the face. "Is that all you've got?" asked Yusuke.

"Oh, that's just the beginning," replied My. She then got a dome to appear out of the wind and cover Yusuke. "This handy little dome will take away your Spirit Energy temporarily and keep you from attacking me. It also will let me win this match. I know it was short, but at least I win and you don't."

"And the winner is My. I'm getting kind of ashamed of being your friend Urameshi..." said Kuwabara.

My then walked over to sit down next to Kim and Jenny. "So, when are you gonna let him out?" asked Jenny. My just did a movement with her hand, and let him out.

"Shut Up! Kuwabara, if you had fought her, I would have laughed at your defeat!" replied Yusuke. He then went to go and get a bottle of water.

"Hey My, why'd you let him live?" asked Jenny. Kim then asked her telekinetically.

'Do you like him?' asked Kim.

'Hell no. I was just too bored to kill someone.' replied My.

'Oh.' Said Jenny. She was in the conversation too. 'Do you like Kenshin?'

'... Maybe, why?' asked My.

'Nothing, just wondering. Because I like Hiei and Kim likes Kurama.' replied Jenny. Kim then glared at Jenny.

'You just had to get back at me, didn't you?' asked Kim.

'Yeah, pretty much.' said Jenny.

"I guess we all have to do some training with those girls. Hey, Jenny. Could we start training with you guys today?" asked Yusuke.

"What? Oh, yeah, sure. We'll start giving you guys some of our training as soon as you guys that have fought have had some time to heal, I mean, you are pretty scratched up," replied Jenny. Kurama had defrosted by now.

"So... What's going on?'' asked Kurama.

"Oh, so you're back. Well, we're going to go and train with the criminals. Hope you don't mind, Kurama," informed Hiei. He wasn't too crazy about the idea of training with girls. Especially girls that are stronger than him.

"Oh, I'm fine with that idea. Can I have a blanket? I'm still a little chilly," asked Kurama.

"Why don't we just... invite them to our place, so they could chill a little? And not chill as in the way that you gave Kurama, but as in relax a little," asked Jenny. She wanted to make the idea a little clear with her friends before giving it to the others.

"... Are you sure? Or are you just looking for a way to get Hiei into our apartment?" whispered Kim.

"I'm not gonna answer that. What do you think, My?" asked Jenny.

"Whatever. I don't really care," said My. She just wanted to eat her own food.

"Alright then," said Jenny. "Hey, why don't you guys come to our place? We've got food and a room where we go to heal. It's not visible to people that we don't want to see it."

"Sure. I'm hungry and I'm burned," replied Hiei.

"Hmm, I wonder why..." said Jenny sarcastically.
