Tournament of Heroes

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, or Dragonball Z. sigh

"Goku and Kurama are up next," Koto announced and the audience replied by screaming at the top of their lungs. At least, that's what it sounded like down at the ring. No one could really make out whom they were cheering for anymore. Someone had knocked their favorite, Videl Satan, daughter of their hero, Hercule Satan, out of the tournament on the first match. No one knew any of the other competitors except for The Great Saiyaman so cheering was pretty much nonexistent.

Goku strolled over to the ring and got on it. Gohan could be heard cheering for his dad among the screaming cheers of the audience. Kurama was bid good luck by Yusuke and the newly awoken Kuwabara and received a nod from Hiei before moving towards the ring. Screaming girls from his school could be heard over the rest of the crowd. He silently moved his hand up to just underneath his hair to get prepared. Goku watched as Kurama got ready and then moved into his fighting stance.

"Fight!" Juri yelled and than jumped out of the ring.

Goku watched with a puzzled look on his face as Kurama pulled a rose out of his hair.

"How's he going to fight with that?" Vegeta said as he tried to hold back his laughter. "It's just a flower."

"You'd be surprised." Hiei said as he watched his friend transform the rose into a whip.

Kurama then pulled a miniature container out of his pocket containing a liquid. He popped the top off, drank the contents, and then threw the container out of the ring onto the grass.

Goku continued to watch with a puzzled look on his face until he noticed the whip that had come from a rose was headed for him. He quickly moved out of the way just in time to see the rose make a sizeable crack in the ring. The whip was flung at him again and he swiftly jumped out of the way before going in for a punch. Kurama moved out of the way and tried his rose whip again. He managed to make a small cut on Goku's arm before Goku rushed in to punch him in the face.

"Go Kurama!" Yusuke shouted over the roaring crowd.

Kurama went sliding across the ring on his back and stopped just before the ring ended. He quickly got up and saw a blue glow radiating from Goku's hands. An energy blast was sent his way and Kurama quickly flung his rose whip at it. His rose whip sliced the energy blast in two and Kurama rolled out of the way allowing a very small section of the ring to be destroyed.

Kurama flung his whip at Goku's feet only to have Goku do a back handspring out of the way. Moving quickly, Kurama tried again only to have Goku do another back handspring out of the way. Once again, but Goku yet again did a back handspring and landed on the edge of the ring, his toes barely on. He jumped back into the middle of the ring once realization hit.

"Almost had me there." Goku said as he began walking towards Kurama.

"Had to waste time somehow," Kurama replied.

"Huh?" Goku looked at him strangely as he continued to walk, wandering what he meant. Why did he have to waste time?

Kurama's eyes flickered gold just then for less than a second and then went back to his normal emerald eyes. Goku stopped for a second with a shocked look on his face before continuing towards Kurama with a determined look on his face now. Kurama caught the puzzled look and realized he must be going to become Yoko Kurama soon. Wasting time had paid off.

Goku sped up a few feet from Kurama and went in for a punch, which Kurama dodged, and Goku then quickly tried to trip him. Goku succeeded and as Kurama fell his fox ears popped out of the top of his head while his human ears disappeared. He blinked and his emerald eyes became golden. His long, red hair grew slightly and became a silvery color. Everyone could see the tip of a tail.

"What just happened?" Vegeta asked Hiei and Yusuke who were standing near to him.

"Yoko's back," Hiei said to Yusuke, ignoring the shouts from Vegeta.

"Appears so," Yusuke said.

"It's a demon Kagome," Inuyasha told Kagome.

"A fox demon if I'm correct," Miroku said from somewhere behind Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Maybe he's related to Shippo, you pervert!" Sango yelled. Everyone turned around to see Sango slap Miroku.

"It was worth it," Miroku said from where he was laying on the ground.

"Does he do that often?" Yusuke asked Kagome.

"Ya, I think that's the fourth time today."

A/N – I finally made a bio/profile thing so check that out and now I'm going to answer a question I think needs to be answered.

I have seen the whole Sensui Saga and I know about Kuwabara's dimensional sword. I just didn't make him use it as at the end of the saga, he can only use it out of anger and/ or desperation. This is just a fun little tournament and so I don't think that he'd get really angry or desperate during the course of his fight.

Thanks to my reviewers, your helpful comments are sure to get my A's in English this year whenever we write stories.
