Chapter 5.
Sakura stood on the platform looking at Abbey; she had no idea what she was going to do. Pride prevented her from losing but that small trace of fear prevented her from winning.
"I guess this had to come sooner or later," Abbey smiled cheerfully.
"Yeah," Sakura said solemnly.
"Well good luck. May the best fighter win," Abbey said bowing.
"No need for luck. I withdraw from the fight," Sakura walked off the platform.
"WHAT? You can't withdraw!" Abbey yelled in disbelief.
"Well I do, you win," Sakura said simply without looking back.
"Why did she give up?" Kurama asked Hiei as they watched from a distance.
"I don't know. I don't think she is the type to just give up," Hiei replied. Abbey frowned. She was thinking the exact same thought at the moment and decided to find out what was going on. She pulled Sakura to a corner where no one would over hear or see them.
"Why did you give up? Your not the type to just give in," Abbey accused her.
"I didn't want to. But I couldn't just lose to you," Sakura sighed.
"Why did you give up then? It doesn't make sense," Abbey asked. Sakura sighed again and told her about the guy that had threatened her. Abbey stared in shock at Sakura as she listened.
"We have to tell that Koenma dude! This isn't right," Abbey whispered.
"No! Don't worry about it," Sakura smiled, "you would have beaten me anyways."
"Liar," Abbey frowned. Sakura smiled a walked away from her towards Kairi. Abbey sighed and heading in the opposite direction towards a large box over looking the arena where she would find Koenma. She was determined to make things right, Sakura deserved a chance to fight and win against her. She walked into the box and looked around looking for some sign of where to find the lord dude.
"May I help you?" asked a young toddler walking up to her. She smiled down at him like she would a cute little puppy.
"Hello there, are you cute? Can you tell me where to find lord Koenma?" she asked crouching down in front of the infant.
"That would be me," he replied.
"Your Koenma?" Abbey asked confused.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
"Nope, it just surprised me. I've heard a lot of good things about you and didn't expect, well, this" she motioned him with her hand.
"Not many people do. Maybe this will help," he said and changed into his older form.
"Ok, you be hotter than hell and you walk around looking like a three year old?" Abbey asked curiously.
"I thank you for the complement, and yes, looking like a young child throws people off guard at how powerful I really am," Koenma smiled looking at her closely. Abbey blushed slightly forgetting why she was there momentarily.
"I believe you came to ask me something?" Koenma interrupted her mindless thoughts.
"Oh yeah," Abbey stammered and told the story to Koenma exactly as Sakura had told her.
"Oh dear, this is serious. Well we shall find the man and rid of him then give you and ms. Sakura to fight again," Koenma said.
"Oh thank you. You are as great as they say!" Abbey shrieked with joy and threw her arms around him hugging him. Koenma chuckled slightly patting her back. Abbey smiled and took off running out the door colliding into Hiei.
"Watch where you're going and get off of me!" Hiei muttered evilly. Abbey smiled still laying on top of him.
"Opps clumsy me," she giggled and stood up and walked away.
"Women," Hiei muttered standing up and brushing the dirt off his self and watched her walk away.
"Where have you been?" Sakura asked Abbey seeing her come to her and Kairi.
"Nowhere. Oh cool it's Alex, but who is she fighting?" Abbey asked looking down at the familiar fighter Alex about to fight against another fighter. The second fighter was tall with long red hair with black streaks and her clothes were sort of mythical looking along with a cape tied to her back.
"A cape? She trying to be superman?" Sakura laughed but no one was listening to her.
"I remember her, her name is Cami I think. She fights a lot like Jin," Kairi muttered aloud.
"Who?" Abbey asked with out taking her eyes off the fighters.
"Jin, he competed in a tournament here along time ago. He was a master of wind, he was cute too," Sakura said leaning on the rail looking at the fighters.
"Yeah he was," Kairi nodded.
"Ok," Abbey just looked at them weirdly. They watched the fighters Alex and Cami on the platform. Each fighting with all they had. Alex's normal mental trick didn't seem to affect Cami and every trick Cami tried none worked. The fight when on for two days, neither fighter willing to give up. On the second day as the sun was setting and the temperature began to drop dramatically again, Alex pulled a fast kick and punch and knocked Cami unconscious making her the winner.
