As a tall slender built man wearing black pants, a baggy black shirt and thick leather boots as dark as the sword case attached to his belt stepped into the simple dirt arena in the middle of the demon world woods, across from him was some one who is familiar to all the great Hiei.

"Hiei are you ready to face me?" Ravens calm deep voice broke the silence with a hint of arrogance. He was at this time a high S class fighter on almost every plain. Raven had grown bored of the fights offered in human world and like Urameshi had come here to find a good challenge or as his partner Sionnach (in English it means Fox. It is taken from the Ancient Druid language) who refused to follow him here had said he was looking for a good ass kicking. He had left her to continue trying to get Kurama's love.

"Fool do you honestly think you will win this" Hiei said with a smirk "we might have been on the same team before but you won't get me to take it easy on you." "I wouldn't have it any other way, just remember the rules." Raven said as he drew out his Katana "I can see your ready then"

Hiei dives forward drawing out his sword and attempting to cut raven across the gut. Raven blocks and slashes Hiei's sword snapping it in to. (has anyone noticed how that happens a lot in the show) then with a swift kick sends Hiei back about to paces and punches his Jagon.

"Bastard" Hiei growls as he charges and kicks Raven in the bright Red Jagon on his head. Raven stumbles back a few feet as he cringes and tries to blink the pain out of his eye. "Damn you Hiei you'll pay for that." Raven saids thru clinched teeth as he throws his sword at Hiei's leg's, Hiei jumps up and raven caching him off guard kicks him high in the air.

As Hiei turns around in mid air he summons mortal flame and hits Raven dead on. Landing in a tree not far from the ring he waits to see Raven emerge from the dust. Raven dives strait at Hiei and pushes him thru the tree trunk, Hiei grabs Ravens wrists and throws him strait for the ground.

Raven slowing his decent by grabbing the branches jumps and caches Hiei and they both fall from the tree Hiei being crushed in a hug. About ten feet from the ground Hiei bites down hard on Ravens shoulder forcing Raven to let go of him. As Hiei lands on his feet raven flips and land on one knee unable to stand.

"You lose fool." Hiei saids and then sits beside him. "Did you just give me your mark?" Raven asks with a smile. "Don't be so stupid you hopeful fool." Hiei saids turning away.

Raven stands and walks to his sword, he sheaths it and saids "Hiei I'll be back in two months be ready." As he walks away

"just two months what day I might be busy you know." Hiei shouts in a mocking way.
