Sorry for the wait on this chapter. I've been really busy as of late with regents. And I had problems with the internet. And a new story will be released soon, hopefully by the end of this month the first chapter will be up. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. I'm just borrowing them. So finally, here's chapter 9 of Inuyasha and the Dark Tournament. Enjoy! Please read and review if you want the next chapter out faster.
Once their names were called, Kurama and Sango walked into the ring. Kurama with a rose, and Sango with her Hiraikotsu. "Ok. Since the fighters are in the ring, let the fight begin!" said Sakura. Kurama, being as polite as he is, introduced himself. Sango being polite in return introduced herself. He gave her a nod and transformed the rose into his trademark rose whip. Sango got her boomerang in fighting position and waited for him to make the first move.
Since Kurama wanted to end the match quickly, he used his rose whip to loosen one of the cement tiles of the ring and sent it to Sango. She raised Hiraikotsu in front of her to block the projectile. With the block destroyed and the debris in her face, Kurama ran towards Sango and prepared an attack. With a flick of his wrist, the rose whip went and wrapped itself around the giant boomerang.
The hidden blade on Sango's arm snapped up, and she slashed at the whip cutting in half. Then she threw the lethal boomerang at Kurama. The boomerang hit its mark very hard, knocking the air out of him as well as knock him onto his back. When he got to knees, he coughed up some blood, and then struggled to his feet with a small line of blood coming from his mouth. Sango felt bad for hurting him, but if she was to get her wish, she had to win the match; even if it meant killing Kurama.
Botan cried out worriedly at the sight of her lover's blood. He smiled reassuringly at her, which calmed her down a bit. Sesshomaru just scanned the audience looking for Rayne. Miroku and Kagome were yelling encouragements to Sango after her blow to Kurama's gut. Inuyasha was just yelling at her to finish the match as quickly as possible. Hiei was just looking at the match quietly. Koenma was still knocked out from his fight with Kagome. Yusuke and Kuwabara were yelling that Kurama should knock out Sango.
The two fighters rolled their eyes at all the yelling. Miroku walked towards a female demon and asked her bare his child. Sango having heard Miroku turned her attention away from Kurama and towards Miroku. She threatened to beat the living hell out of him when the match was over. Out of fear, Miroku stopped his flirting and backed off. Kurama seeing the opening planned his attack.
Kurama created a new rose whip, out of the new rose he just pulled out. He sent the newly created whip at Sango's legs. The whip successfully wrapped itself around one of Sango's legs, with the thorns sinking into her calves. Feeling the sudden pain, she turned around as quickly as possible. After turning around completely, she suddenly felt drowsy. Kurama pulled on his side of the whip, and in doing so, knock Sango off her feet. But not before throwing Hiraikotsu at Kurama, this time harder than before.
And just as Sango hit her head on the ring floor, Hiraikotsu hit Kurama in the stomach. Without Sango to catch the weapon when it came back, it slammed into the audience, killing whoever was sitting there as the boomerang hit. Kurama landed on his head this time, knocking him out. And both teams started yelling, except Sesshomaru, Hiei, and Koenma, for their specific fighter to stand up.
"Oh my, looks like both fighters are down," announced Sakura. "And since neither fighter is dead, the count will begin. 1…2…3…4…5." Everyone was quiet, each team praying for their fighter to get up, excluding the quiet 2 and Koenma. "…6…7…8…9…and 10. The match is a draw, and according to the rules, it can't end like this. So we'll for one of the fighters to get to their feet." With that announced Sakura stood back and waited for either Kurama or Sango to get up.
(TBC)
Author's Note: Here it match ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. Who do you think will wake up first? The next match will also begin in the next chapter.
