Chapter Thirty-Two: Losing It
Tara swiftly moved to her father and they engaged in combat for several minutes.
"You have been training." Ura stated. They were in a deadlock.
"Of course."
He went to punch her, she ducked and power punched him in the stomach. This sent him back several feet. Spitting blood he looked at her. "You're serious aren't you?"
She nodded. "I'm playing for keeps."
"That's a shame." He shook his head. "All this tenseness is no fun. You don't what to die that way do you?"
"I am having fun." Within moments she was next to her father. Smiling she kicked him hard in the side. He doubled over in pain.
"You little brat." He spat out more blood. His eyes grew darker. "I'm make you pay for that." A blue light surrounded Ura as he powered up. In lighting speed he attacked Tara multiple times. She was fast for some of the hits but most landed on their targets. Backing off some, he shook his wrists.
Tara smiled. "Well I've made you mad, what a shame."
"I beat you pretty good, what are you still smiling about?" He asked her.
"Look behind you." She simple stated.
A giant eating plant was roaring when Ura turned around. He didn't flinch. "How cute a plant turned horrible." He pulled a small glowing seed from his pocket and threw it into the plant's mouth. In seconds the roaring monster frooze.
Tara narrowed her eyes. "What did you do to my plant?"
"I frooze it. In moments it will disappear and turn back into the plant it was before you added your limited powers." He turned back to her, the darkness lightened some but it was still there. "You know I have to take into account that you are trying to win this tournament."
"I'm not trying. I have confidence on my side that I can win this. And when I do, I'll prove to everyone that the past, is past."
Ura laughed. "What is it with past is past thing? I mean you are starting to sound like Kurama." Something was being hinted in his voice but Tara couldn't figure it out. Hiei looked at his friend again. Kurama was paying attention to the match with a straight face.
"His good at pretending." Katsumi whispered to Hiei, who nodded.
Ura and Tara engaged in fighting again. Both taking their amount of hits. Tara got the upper hand and punch Ura in the mouth. He stood for a few. "You little..." His eyes turned half white and the blue light that surrounded him early was back and more intensifying.
"His energy just sky rocketed through the arena." Yusuke said in amazement.
/Alright Tara you made him mad now./She was talking to herself. /Just remember this is for everyone you love./ Breathing deeply she began charging for the power tornado surrounding her father.
