Disclaimer: I don't own anything I put into this story, except my insantiy.

A/N: Sorry it took so long to update everybody, but I've been having a little trouble (*cough*schoolwork*cough*) and I've used the extra time to think up a few new ideas. Before we get started I would like to thank Haruko-2020 and AnnatheAncient for reviewing my story again and I hope you both like the new chapter.

Story: Swordsman Tournament

Chapter Four: Sephiroth's Battle and Inuyasha's challenge...

Metal-on-Metal noise could be heard as Sephiroth and Chrono's swords were colliding with one another. Sephiroth decided to try and overpower his young opponent and swung a powerful blow at Chrono. Chrono blocked it, but was having trouble holding back Sephiroth's attack. Then he got an idea and his eyes started to glow. Suprised, Sephiroth barley heard Chrono shout out the words "Luminare!!!" before he was engulfed and thrown back by a strang light coming from Chrono. Now with several new injuries, Sephiroth decided to stop toying with Chrono. He quickly casted a Bolt 3 spell on Chrono, but Sephiroth didn't know that lightining was Chrono's element (the characters in Chrono Trigger have specific elements) and the spell barley affected him. Suprised, Sephiroth didn't notice Chrono charging at him until he was almost to him. Sephiroth quicly prepared to counter his attack, but then Chrono said what sounded like "Confusion!" and he disappeared (this is always how I figured this attack worked).

Before Sehiroth could figured out where he had gone, he felt a sharp pain as Chrono struck four diffrent times, always disapperaring then reapperaing to strike. When the fourth move was done, Chrono reapperared where he had been before the attack on Sephiroth. Sephiroth was now slightly incapacitated with the fresh injuries he had recieved and Chrono was walking up to him with a big grin on his face. Just as Chrono was about to end the fight, in a burst of strength Sephiroth dodged Chrono's final attack and slashed his left arm, leaving a deep gash across it. Chrono yelled out in pain and jumped back to avoid any follow-up attacks. As he was clutching his injured arm, he noticed Sephiroth was now grinning and the world around him went dark as Sephiroth summoned "Supernova". After several awe inspiring scenes (and the FFVII people wincing because they knew what this attack could do) Chrono was hit whith the full force of "Supernove". He was blown back several feet and was staring at the sky, as he had lost hisfooting during the attack and was now flat on his back, but still in the ring. Thinking he was unconcious, Sephiroth walked closer to Chrono and did something no one expected. "Good job, I had to use our of my best moves to beat you" and with that said, Sephiroth started to walk away but then heard Chrono moving. When Sephiroth turned around, Chrono was back on his feet although he had many injuries and only one of his eyes was open as the other one had blood going into it from an injury on his forehead. Before Sephiroth could say anything, a ball of golden light appeared in front of Chrono. Chrono then shouted out "BOLT 2!!!" and several bolt of lightning shot out from the golden light and struck Sephiroth, throwing him back several feet and injuring him. Just as everyone thought the fight was over, Sephiroth got back up, but was starting to look wore out from all the attacks. Chrono looked like he was about to attack again, but before he could he fell face first onto the ring, knocked out from using up the last of his strength with that last attack.

The audience started to cheer once again as the fight was concluded. Sephiroth walked back to the fighters area, using one of his own spells to heal himself, while Chrono got medical attention. What no one noticed was a mysterious figure sneak into the crowd nor did they notice this figure sit very close to a certain red trenchcoat wearing gunmen who was banadaged up from a recent beating he had recieved (have you figured out who it is yet). After a little while, Vash got up to get some more donuts (he had already eatin the new box) and Meryl followed him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, like blow-up the stadium if they were out of donuts. Shortly after they walked off, Knives heard a voice in his head (not the insane kind, the telepathic kind) 'Master, I have arrived' Knives grinned as he looked around and noticed his only supervision was Milly, who was to busy eating pudding to notice anything going on around her. 'Did you bring it Legato?' Knives asked him telepathicly.

'Of course Master, it's right here' and Legato started to hand Knives a black revolver (you should know what that is). Unfoutunatley for the duo, Meryl had fogotten something and was coming back up when she noticed Legato handing Knives the gun. Luckily, Vash had let her and Milly have a controller (Remember, Knives has a shock collar on) in case Knives tried anything. Being devious, Meryl waited until Knives and Legato were touching the gun at the same time, then she pressed the button. Knives and Legato (since he was holding onto the gun and it's metal and metal conducts electricity) were both shocked and ended up dropping the gun between the seats and it fell down to the ground. Meryl then walked up and started yelling at Milly for not watching Knives, and Milly replied that she was watching Knvives. Which of course meant she was watching WHILE Legato was handing him the gun but didn't do anything because they told her to WATCH Knives. Vash came back up and cringed when he noticed Legato.

Legato noticed this after recoverering from the electric shock and started sending Vash telepathic messages. 'Hello Vash the Stampede' Legato thought, thinking it would sound cool and threatning. Vash immediatly got teary eyed and said..er..thought 'Don't call me by my full NAME!' and looke like he was about to burst into tears. Legato just stared, once again having trouble beliveing that Vash was a legendary outlaw. Finnally Legato came back to his senses and he demanded that Vash release Knives. Vash refused, and he and Legato were about to get into a fight when the announcer started to announce the next fight. 'After this battle, I will kill you and free my master, Vash the Stampede' With that, Legato walked off to find some hot dogs while Vash muttered something incoherent and sat down to enjoy his donuts.

As the announcer annoucned the battle, Inuyasha drew his sword, but it didn't tranform. Realizing he was fighting a regular human, Inuyasha sheathed the sword and started to charge at Orlandu. Orlandu saw him coming, though, and quickly countered with his Holy Explosion technique. Inuyasha was thrown back and injured by the powerful technique, and he felt dizzy from the confusion it was know to cause. Orlandu took advantage of this and continued to attack Inuyasha, slashing at him with his sword. After recovering, Inuyasha used his "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer" attack to leave many injuries on Orlandu. Thinking quicly, Orlandu used the Night Sword technique and drained Inuyasha's strength while recovering his own. He then used the Stasis sword technique on Inuyasha, which made it so that Inuyasha couldn't move. He then prepared to finish the battle with his Holy Explosion technique. As the stopped Inuyasha watched, Orlandu gathered the energy needed to perform the attack. He asked Inuyasha to surrender which, of course, Inuyasha refused. Then he started to mutter the words "Heavan's Wish to destroy all minds,..." and was about to say the last part when something strange happened. Inuyasha's rosary strated to glow and the half-demon gulped, knowing what that meant. In the crowd a few seconds before, Shippou the little kitsuine had gotten in Kagome's face because he was nervous about the fight. Of course Kagome wanted to see to, so she told Shippou to sit down, without realizing she had just said the word that bound Inuyasha until after she said it. As Orlandu shouted out "Holy Explosion!" and the beams from the sky started toward Inuyasha, he hit the groud with a loud BOOM! (couldn' think of a better noise) and the attack missed him. Then he got up and charged Orlandu. When it looked like Orlandu was about to use another of his attacks, Inuyasha covered his hand in his own blood and used his "Blades of Blood" attack. Orlandu was busy trying to stop the attack and didn't notice Inuyasha's next move.

Inuyasha closed in and grapped his wrist on his right hand, the one that was holding the sword. Before Orlandu could try to escape, Inuyasha tightened his grip and broke Orlandu's wrist, making him drop his sword. Orlandu backed off, trying to think of a new plan, while Inuyasha picked up Orlandu's discarded sword and threw it out of the ring to make sure he couldn't use it again. Then Inuyasha strarted to beat up on Orlandu with his fists until he finaly uppercutted him and sent him crashing to the ground unconcious. With the fight won, Inuyasha went back to the gathering area for the fighters and noticed one of them staring at him. "What!" Inuyasha yelled at Sephiroth, who just chuckled and replied "I was trying to figure out how hard it would be to defeat you" and walked off without another word.

Prieview for Next Chapter:

Cloud vs. Hotsuma and Vash and Legato have a "duel". The prize? Knives' Freedom! Also, Vincnet and Rude of the Turks have an interesting "conversation"

A/N: Okay so I hope everybody likes this chapter and I would like to again appologize for how long it took me to update. Does anyone have their own ideas for Legato and Vash's "duel" I already have my own, but I want to know what you think. Anyway, I'll try to update sooner next time. Until then, Bye Everybody!
