Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. I'm just borrowing them. So finally, here's chapter 8 of Inuyasha and the Dark Tournament. Enjoy!!! Please read and review if you want the next chapter out faster.
"Would Kuwabara and Miroku please make their way to the ring," asked Sakura. Miroku and Kuwabara went into the ring gladly. Kuwabara was raring to fight. And Miroku was up to his old antics. He asked Sakura to bare his child and groped her butt, earning him a good slap from Sakura and an evil glare from Sango. "There won't be any groping of any kind! That's the stipulation! Let the fight begin!"
"So you're the one that got Botan upset. I heard every slap you got since we got here. You never seem to learn. How do you have so much confidence?" asked Kuwabara.
"Were the slaps that loud?" asked Miroku. Kuwabara nodded. "Shows you how hard Sango slaps. And as for the confidence thing, I was born with it."
"Cool. Can you give me some pointers? I would really appreciate it."
"Sure. What do you want to learn?
"I want to…"
"Hey Kuwabara! This is a tournament, not a coffee house! So quit the idol chit – chat and fight already!!" yelled Yusuke.
"Alright, alright," said Kuwabara.
"Looks like we need to put this conversation on hold. We'll continue the conversation after the match," stated Miroku.
"Agreed."
"Are you two done with your conversation now?" asked Sakura. The two nodded. "So, let the fight begin!"
Kuwabara brought forth his spirit sword, and Miroku got his staff ready. Kuwabara gripped his sword and attacked Miroku thinking he would be able to cut his staff in half. Miroku put his staff in the way and held off Kuwabara's spirit sword, much to Kuwabara's surprise, and threw him off.
"How come your staff didn't break?" asked Kuwabara.
"I channeled the energy I needed into my staff to make sure that I can counter your attack," replied Miroku.
"I guess I should give you more credit. I thought I would be able to cut your staff in half."
"I should also give you credit. I never saw such an attack in my life."
"But I will win," declared Kuwabara with a cocky smile on his face."
"We'll see about that," stated Miroku with a smirk on his face.
Kuwabara charged at Miroku at full force. Miroku dodged it easily and waited for Kuwabara to reach the other end of the ring. Once Kuwabara was there, Miroku pulled at the beads on his right hand uncovering the wind tunnel. Kuwabara was immediately pulled towards it, while Sakura hid behind Miroku.
Kuwabara started panicking at the force of the wind tunnel. Once Kuwabara was three feet away, Miroku covered the wind tunnel and swung his staff, landing a direct blow on Kuwabara's head. Sakura started the count and Kuwabara laid on his face with a bump the size of a golf ball on his head.
On the count of 9, Kuwabara jumped to his feet, yelling and holding the golf ball sized bump. Miroku looked in surprise at Kuwabara, wondering how he got up after a hit like that. Kuwabara started complaining about the pain in his head. Miroku got ready for another round once Kuwabara got to his feet.
Kuwabara charged at Miroku again, with spirit sword in hand. Miroku thought Kuwabara was going to swing the sword at him again. Kuwabara expected Miroku's actions, and expected them correctly. As Miroku raised his staff, Kuwabara threw his spirit sword at Miroku's feet, completely catching him off guard. Seeing an opening, he ran at full speed towards Miroku. And once there, punched Miroku in the stomach, forcing him to be thrown from the ring and into the wall demolishing it.
Sakura ran to the edge of the ring to see what happened. She made the necessary announcements and started the count. The girl next to Miroku's body and started asking if he was still alive or not. After hearing her voice, he got up and asked her the same old question. The girl's eyes turned red and she slapped Miroku hard enough to send him flying back into the ring.
He landed face first into the ring a few inches from Sakura's feet. But before she could end the count, Miroku got to his feet rubbing his abused cheek sighing. Sango was ready to throw her boomerang at him, but chose not to since their team need two more wins. Sakura took a few steps back from Miroku, not wanting his wandering hands to wander somewhere on her body.
Miroku, wanting to end the match now, uncovered his wind tunnel once again. Therefore, forcing Kuwabara back towards him. But instead of trying to resist it, he let it pull him towards Miroku. Once within range, Miroku closed the wind tunnel, but instead of hitting Kuwabara, Kuwabara punched Miroku in the face.
Sakura started the count again, but this time Miroku didn't get up. By the count of 7, Miroku started stirring. But he was only able to get to his knees by the count of 10. Then Sakura announced, "The winner, with a major upset, of the second match of the finals is Kuwabara of Team Urameshi.!
"So that makes Team Urameshi and Team Inuyasha tied with one match a piece! Let's see the third match!" Sakura stated. 5 seconds later, "Alright. For the third match of the finals we have, Sango of Team Inuyasha and Kurama of Team Urameshi!"
Author's Note: That's it. Kuwabara surprisingly beats Miroku. But who will win the third match. Kurama or Sango?
