Chapter 16 The final Fights: 3 and ½ of 1

The next morning before the sun rose, team Jagenskisi was on the field waiting. Because it so happened that Amar decided to be their alarm clocks and woke everyone up so much that they wouldn't be able to go to sleep till evening. This was how the fights were going to go, Nakine and Yuusuke, Youkiyra and Kurama, Tilmar and Kuwabara, Amar and Hiei and Gilius and Genkia.

Gilius and Genkia were to be the 1st fight, the 2 stepped up to the circlle to fight. They began Gilius transformed and easily dodged Genkia's attacks and then made the mistake of stopping for over 2 seconds and thus got his by Genkia and flung out of the ring. Rushing back into the ring before the ten coundt was over and charged at Genkia succeeding in putting a large cut on her right arm. She stood calmly and fied a spirit blast and this time it sort of tied itself around Gilius and started to edge him towards the ourside of the circle. Once outside the circle the energy around Gilius exploded shooting Gilius towards his companions landing at the feet of Nakine. He stood and ran full blast towards the circle but didn't make it into the circle in time and lost because he was outside of the circle when the 10 count ended.

The next fight was between Tilmar and Kuwabara.

"Great! The 2 dunces are going to fight. I'm taking a nap short though it may be." Nakine said half under her breath.

Youkiyra smiled at this and sat beside her friend her eyes ½ closed knowing this was going to be a short fight. (That's right short and boring) Tilmar stepped up and so did Kurabara. They began their fight and they were equally matched. They kept knocking each other out side the ring and the other got back inside of the ring just in time to fight some more. Then quite accidentally Tilmar activated his transporter hole.

Youkiyra seeing this stood and shouted , "Deactivate it Tilmar. NOW!"

Tilmar not quite understanding what she wanted him to deactivate stood there/ Kuwabara took this as a chance to tackle Tilmar and they both went through the abyssal hole leading somewhere but where? The ring was empty.

"Ladies and gentlemen it seems that we have a tie here. The rest of the fights will determine who wins the tournament," the announcer shouted through the mike.

The 3rd fight was to be with Amar and Hiei.

As they stepped up to the ring Amar asked, "Hiei, If you won't make fun of me I won't make fun of you and this can be a fair fight is that fine with you?"

Hiei nodded knowing that he had more honor than to make fun of another for his or her fighting skills, plus he was impressed by how good this girl was.

The fight began, plus he was impressed by how good this girl was. The fight began, Amar did very well but the fight ended quickly having the sword of Hiei's at her throat but did not kill her. She yielded and the fight was over/

"You are a good fighter," He said softly so only she could hear." Hiei said.

"Thank you," she said just as softly.

The final 2 fights would show the result of the winners. The 4th fight was to be between Kurama and Thorn. As Thorn walked up to the cirlce and waited for the announcer to become untangled in her wires and start the fight Gin had been enjoying the breeze too much and added to it. It so happened that it was aimed in the direction of the tall young Lady. It blew at her and yanked off her entire cape revealing who she was. Kurama looked up sharply and the crowd grew silent in shock. This guy who had defeated his opponent's so easily was a girl!

"That secret has been given away. Might as well transform fully." She said.

Kurama had recognized her as the human girl from his human botany college, she transformed into a tall, slender Youko Fox but something was different about her, she had blue/green on the ends of her ears, her eyes seemed ancient beyond the normal years of Foxes and her 9 tails were tipped with blue/green also.

Koenma gasped on his balcony, "It's a Crystal Youko."

Hiei hearing this did not know anything about this certain Youko and would not ask.

"What is a Crystal Youko?" Yuusuke asked. (Saving Hiei from being in suspense.)

"A crystal Youko is the line of foxes thought to have been extinct long ago, when an enemy tribe of fire demons killed everyone in the last crystal village. Everyone thought that they were all killed but I guess there is one last one." The Prince of the Spirit world said to the others.

Below Kurama finally made it to the circle and the fight began.

After a time Kurama was began to badly lose in his human and she was easily winning, in desparate attempt to buy him some breath to change to Youko he asked, "So good lady what is your rue name it can't be Thorn as you've let everyone know." As he said that he doubled over in pain from a punch she gave him.

"My name is Thorn but to others I am known as Kara and others Youkiyra and to even others many other names." She replied standing over him.

He slowly stood and asked as he put his energy to changing form "But what is your true name the one as a crystal fox which my friend Kurone saw you fleeing the village with a fire demon."

Surprised that he had found out who said the riddle for no one ever had found out the meaning of the riddle before.

""Well master riddler since you have found out the riddle you have earned the right to know my real name. I am Youkiyra Night/Star Solar."

Then she went foraward to attack but Kurama had started to transform and she stepped back. In the sidelines Nakine was a little worried for her friend, she felt great energy like Youkiyra's coming from her opponent and Youkiyra had not fought someone for a very, very long time.

As the mist cleared Youko Kurama immerged. Kara took a step back her face went slightly pale, only Nakine noticed that.

"Youko Kurama, how did you survive the hunter?" she mumbled.

He smiled and said, "Since we know each other's names we should begin fighting for reals."

As they started to fight Kurama noticed that she seemed to know his every move as if she had been with him his entire life as a thief. She sliced his left arm with a nasty cut from her crystal whip leaving crystals deep within the wound. He winced as he pulled that whip away for he could feel the skin ripping. He then went into a full attack suddenly she was no long in front of her but shewas gone. Looking down saw a small fox with 9 tails tipped with blue/green and silver everywhere else.

He turned then was startled as she changed to Youko again and hit him again with …what were they? Darts?

As he looked down he saw that they were identical to the darts he could create. Suddenly it came to him. This young woman was his shadow.

All this time Koenma and the others except for Hiei were shocked at seeing that Suichii was the cold hearted bandit thief Youko Kurama.

They saw a huge flash below and all watching were blinded by the blast. A crystal wall 40 feet high to the edge to the circle surrouned when they looked down the arena. Kurama was fighting her with his leaf blade and she had a crystal blade out and was doing very well in defending herself. Then the fatal blow fell, Kurama having lost much blood was having difficulty seeing and trying to attack Youkiyra. But he finally hit her with the force of a very strong Youko and she cried out. That cry shattered the crystal wall, sending the shards flying in all directions. Then she did the same to him and………………………….
