Chapter Twenty-Three: Kuwabara vs. Heiji.


"Hello dear." Ura walked next to Tara. They were walking out to the arena.

"I don't like it when you decide to talk to my team-mates."

Ura smiled. "Wasn't my fault. He came to me not the other way around."

She stopped walking. "She was upset you know. We all were." It was the past she was talking about.

"Probably more angry then anything huh?" He walked out to the arena first. Tara just nodded. She walked out several minutes later.


Kuwabara and Heiji were matched in height, but power and strongness was another thing.

There wasn't much talking during this match. Just spirit sword smashing and hammer crunching.

"That human can't win against a demon." It was Lea running at the mouth again.

"Be quiet." Ura said.

"Something eating at you?" She questioned.

"Yes. It's female and has wings." Ura looked at her then back to the match.

She scoffed quietly and looked over at the other team. /Must be that stupid no good Tara./ She looked at Rin and an evil thought came to her. A smile painted the cornors of her lips. /Interesting./

Heiji was down on the ground. Unusually for him, of course, and he wasn't taking it well. Being Kuwabara he had to gloat for a few. Something he shouldn't have done because it gave the opponet time to catch his breath.

Heiji had enough of playing around. He couldn't believe that a human could bring him down to his knees. With one blow Kuwabara was thrown from the ring into the concrete wall of the statium.

"Wow what amazing power." Koto observed. Juri began the count in the ring.

"Demons we have a winner. It was a short match but nice action." Juri walked over to the winner. "Heiji of the Ura team is the winner." The crowd roared. The rubble on Kuwabara gave away and he fell to the ground.

Heiji jumped down and walked over to Tara. As much as he tried to intimidate her, he failed. She stood there and then looked up at him.

"You're next." His voice was deep.

Tara shook her head. "Pea brain. There are two more matches before I'm next. Just be glad you survived this one."

Heiji went to attack. Rose pedels came out of no where and swirled around. A sword was at the throat of the panther demon. At the other end was a very angry female fox. The pedels disappeared as soon as they had formed.

The other Ura memebers ran over to the action. The tension was thick, no one dared made a move.

Kuwabara staggered over. "What's going on?" Yusuke looked at him and nugded him to be quiet.

"Let him go Tara." It was Ura.

Her rose sword glowed with a purplish energy. In fact her whole being was. Only Ura and Kurama truly knew what was going on. They had personal encounters with the uncontrolable power Tara held.

Just as the pedels, the glow was gone. "You better watch who you threaten Heiji. You may die to regret it." She walked off. Only Rin followed.

"That's some power." Yusuke comment. Everyone nodded in agreement.


"What was that about?" Rin caught up with Tara.

"He made me mad." Her voice held no emotion. She was in her demon form.
