DISCLAIMER: I don't own YYH, but all my original characters and original twists to the storyline are mine—SO NO STEALING!
A/N: IT'S A MIRACLE! I'M FINALLY UPDATING:nervous laugh: yeah, sorry everyone; I've had major problems with balancing my homework lately and I've had tests up the wazzoo so this is really the only time I've had in trying to update.
I wonder if you guys will be able to catch the pattern going on between the flashbacks throughout the rest of the story. Some of you may not like this pattern, but…yeah, gomen ne to all of you who are upset.

TonyDiMerasbedroomslave: I'm so touched! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it—as well as my other reviewers. But I am sorry to say that this isn't one of my top priorities at the moment so right now it's not at my best…
Kraszczyk: Hey, thanks for reviewing, Ryan. And for the record, I haven't been avoiding and/or ignoring you. I've just needed my space lately—plus it would mean a lot to me if you stop looking through my journal when I'm not there to defend it.
XxXRoseVixenXxX: I'm glad you enjoyed! LoL, and I did have a happy birthday—I bought like five manga books with the money I got
HellzFire Angel: Thank you so much! It was great talking to you in person on AIM!
Dolphingirl32173: Haha, yeah it was pretty long—I think I got over-excited with all the action and stuff, LoL, but I can be like that sometimes.
Little Sakura 87: You too? Wow, I guess great minds think alike! I was thinking about something similar to Ryo-oki, but a bit more cat-like (if you've read the Immortal Rain manga, it sort of looks like the think that follows Machika) But I'm so touched! I'm so glad that you enjoy my fic too!
Sk8tergirl69: Thanks for reviewing! LoL, I'm still thinking about the spirit-beast thing, but whether Mai is going with Yusuke or not…well…you'll just have to see!

Haha, but I think you'll like some of the flashbacks in this chapter—at least a lot of my friends thought so, even though, for some reason, I was feeling slightly…um…odd when I wrote the one between Yusuke and Mai ;
Black Spell: Haha, you'll have to see! My lips are sealed for the time being—I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't let any secrets slip through for the rest of the story, sorry!
PLEASE ENJOY!
Thoughts/Flashback
With Every Drop of Blood
:A Crushing Revenge:
"Finally!" Mai stretched leisurely and splashed a little bit of water over the side of the bath tub, "The guys are gone and I can finally take a shower in peace!" ever since it seemed as thought the boys had taken up a permanent residence at Genkai's, she couldn't seem to find a moment of peace. Not to mention a free bathroom; she didn't know what Kuwabara did when he was in here, but it sure took a hell of a lot of time.
She sighed contently and closed her eyes. The comforting steam drifted around her and she let a smile curl at her lips. After awhile, she slowly opened her eyes again and stared up at the ceiling where she quietly frowned.
Simultaneously, the guardian's hand went to her forehead and to the three stones etched gently into her flesh. The gems gave off a dull glow that sent a tingle through her fingers. With a despondent sigh, she brought her hand back down, the three stones resting in her palm. She stared at them for a moment before her fingers delicately wrapped around them. When her hand opened once more, the gems were gone…and in their stead, a shimmer of light drifted into the air.
The guardian watched as it vanished. She saw it disappear with little interest while she sank further into the tub. Her eyes found their way to her hands and she observed them quietly before she let them sink beneath the water's surface. Keeping her eyes on the ceiling, she slowly dipped under the water.
Meanwhile in the hall "Dammit, Kuwabara! I can't believe you forgot to bring money!" Yusuke shouted angrily as he stormed down the hall, "Who the hell forgets to bring money to go to the grocery store?"
"I was in a hurry dammit!" the redhead argued as he charged after him, stopping just outside the bathroom door, "Geez, let me go to the bathroom first!"
Wrong move.
The moment Kazuma opened the door; Mai had unfortunately decided to come up from beneath the water. She rubbed the steamy liquid out of her eyes and blinked. Kuwabara froze suddenly, uncertain of what to do—until the guardian turned her head towards him and blinked again.
Laughing nervously, the redhead started to blush, "Uh, heh-heh…um, hey Mai—!"
"KUWABARA YOU PERV!" she screamed and frantically pulled her towel over her exposed body, but not before she hurled a bar of soap straight in the middle of his eyes. The redhead staggered backwards into the hallway just as Urameshi was returning. He didn't seem very surprised to see him with a block of soap plastered between his eyes.
"Don't tell me you didn't know what was in there…?"
"It was an accident, Mai…" Kazuma whined as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He then turned to Yusuke, "How did you know she was in there?" he wanted to know.
Urameshi grinned sheepishly and scratched the side of his face with his finger, "Heh-heh…well I kinda saw her undressing before we left—"
"YOU WHAT?" Mai screeched suddenly as she clutched her towel to her body and leapt out of the bath tub dripping wet. Her left eye ticked dangerously and both boys could have sworn they saw flames blazing behind her.
"Huh-heh…nothing?" he tried nervously.
But the guardian charged toward him in a raging fury, "Yusuke Urameshi, how immature can you possibly—eep!" without paying much attention, Mai had created a puddle beneath her and as she had tried to advance on the detective, she lost her footing. She suddenly found herself falling forward.
Mai winced in anticipation of the ground, but it never came. She suddenly blinked in surprise to find herself sprawled on top of Urameshi in a rather awkward position as he cushioned her fall. For a moment there was a pause as the guardian's cheeks burned a bright red and when she glanced down at the detective, his embarrassment was evident as well.
When he looked up at her, his blush spread and he looked away as he made a coughing sound. The guardian followed his gaze and let out another "eep!" as she clutched her towel tighter around her body.
If it wasn't enough, Genkai suddenly appeared at the end of the hallway and cocked her eyebrow suspiciously when she caught sight of the trio sitting just outside the bathroom door. It looked as though she was going to say something, but then she promptly shook her head and departed.
"Well that was awkward," Kuwabara muttered.
"Not for you!" the guardian corrected as she hurriedly scrambled off of Urameshi. Her face continued to flush a bright red as she clutched her towel protectively. Yusuke sat up soon thereafter and coughed awkwardly as he stared off at the ground, "You two are supposed to be out anyway!"
"Forgot my money" the redhead mumbled.
"And you left it in the bathroom! Gods, Kazuma, what the hell do you do in there?" Mai exclaimed in her exasperation and stormed back into the bathroom angrily and a bit flustered. She slammed the door behind her and shortly afterwards, there was the dull splashing of water.
There was a pause between the two boys.
"What do you do in there?" Yusuke asked suspiciously.
The guardian crossed her arms and pouted into the now luke-warm water, "Damn pervs…" she grumbled and splashed her reflection. It was just like them to barge in on her; she couldn't get a single moment of peace anymore! Angrily, she tugged the shower curtain around the tub and slumped into the water.
While she was fuming at the boys, she suddenly found herself relaying Yusuke's expression when he looked at her…
"Ew!" she cried and shook her head frantically, "No! No! No! No! No!" and continued to shake her head at the impulsive thought. What the hell was she thinking! Both Urameshi and Kuwabara were filthy pervs—and it was their fault that she couldn't take one friggin bath!
"Mai?" there was a short tapping at the door as Yusuke's muffled voice came through, "You still in there?"
The guardian rolled her eyes, "No, I escaped through the window butt-naked—yes I'm still in here…" she said bitterly. There was a pause prior to hearing the door creak open slightly. Another moment followed while Urameshi checked to make sure she was covered (thankfully, she now had the shower curtain pulled in front of her).
He cleared his throat as he stepped into the room and gently closed the door behind him, "I…er…I mean…I-I want to apologize for earlier…"
Mai snorted inwardly, "For being a peeping tom? Sure, by all means I forgive you…"
She heard him give off a short laugh, "I'm serious; I—erm…well," there was a blush in his voice, "I-um didn't see anything if that's what you're worried about…Though I can't say the same for Kuwabara," he added and she sensed him glancing towards the door.
But she didn't reply to him immediately and let a heavy silence fill the void between them. The guardian could tell he was becoming uneasy standing beyond the curtain, but she let him sweat it out just a little longer.
After a long pause, Mai carefully pulled back a section of the curtain so that her head poked out. For awhile she gave him a look that made him think that he was in for it bad—
Until she smiled teasingly in his direction, "Hm…you don't seem too sorry about it…" she taunted, "So what I say is this: I don't beat the crap out of you…and…" she paused.
He waited, "…And…?"
The smirk widened and Yusuke shuddered slightly, "And…you let me take my damn bath in peace, got it?"
Urameshi stood there as if he hadn't really heard her, but then he grinned and shot her a quick thumbs-up, "Yeah, I got it," and he sent her a brief glance before he opened the door, "Come on, Kuwabara…" he said to the redhead perched outside.
"What? You didn't see her naked!" he asked disturbingly crestfallen.
…
You really are a perv, you know that?" the detective said bluntly.
Mai grinned to herself as he closed the door and she sank back into the water. Now she could finally take her bath in peace—
CRASH!
"You friggin letch! Stop thinking about her naked, dammit!" Yusuke suddenly roared and immediately the guardian peeked out from behind the shower curtain. She blinked in a stunned silence when she saw Kazuma's head protruding through the wall. A pissed sweatdrop formed at the side of her face.
The redhead chuckled, "Heh-heh…hey Mai!"
Mai's eyebrow ticked dangerously.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BATHE IN PEACE IF THERE'S A FRICKIN HOLE IN THE WALL?"
-
A deep red trickle of blood streamed down the guardian's face. All over her body, new wounds had appeared and began to bleed over the tile flooring. Urameshi clenched his fists and was all but holding back from jumping into the ring.
"Dammit…" he growled, "BASTARD! Let the damn fox-chick do the fucking count!"
But Bakken didn't listen to him—and with Koto thrown out of the ring (after the first time she had tried to start the count) she wasn't able to return in time to even start the count. The fighter approached Mai once again and watched with a villainous smirk as the blood built up around her. His burly fist gripped her by the collar and held her dangerously high off of the ground. Blood trickled at the corner of her mouth as Bakken clenched his fist and drew it back next to his ear. Before anyone could cry out, his attack smashed into the side of her head, sending her body crumpling to the ground as the hemline of her color was ripped away into his hand.
Keiko found herself wincing with each punch the guardian took, "How… how can someone be so cruel…?" she whispered half to Shizuru, "Why does he keep trying to beat her up; how come he doesn't take the win?"
The older girl continued to watch the fight darkly, "It's like Yusuke said; the guy's a bastard; he could care less if he wins and he could care less who he was beating up. By the looks of it…" her frown darkened, "By the looks of it, he won't stop until Mai is dead."
Bakken leisurely strode next to the guardian and placed his boot on top of her skill; making ready to crush it. The man's smirk was venomous as he steadily placed pressure on it little by little.
Behind him, the final cloaked figure called out, "Bakken!"
The man chuckled darkly, "What? I'm almost done…" he trailed off suddenly when a flash of movement caught his eye. He turned to find Urameshi glaring at him murderously as he pointed both index fingers at Bakken's ugly skull. The redhead next to him had drawn the razor-like vine and held it in his hands menacingly. Both boys looked ready to kill him in a matter of seconds.
For a moment, a wave of terror swept through his face, but it was soon gone with a smug grin, "Alright then…I was only having a bit of fun…"
He glanced down at the unconscious guardian at his feet once more, his black eyes flashing. Suddenly, Bakken lashed out at her with his foot. His powerful kick sent her hurtling over the arena and tumbling into the sidelines below.
Immediately, both Yusuke and Kurama hurried to her side where she lay hurt and bleeding.
"Mai!" Urameshi nearly slid across the grass when he suddenly came to a halt, "Mai! Oh gods…Mai, wake up!" he shouted almost right into her ear while gently shaking her. Kurama carefully placed the guardian's head in his lap.
"Is she alright?" Botan called to them.
The detective shook his head, but didn't answer. Gods, Mai…Please be okay…He suddenly cursed himself inwardly; he shouldn't have let that bastard beat him up like that; he should have just gone in there and—
"Hgnn…" the guardian winced and shifted weakly, "Ow…d-damn that hurt…" she whispered suddenly and her eyes fluttered open until they were merely slits, "That wasn't much of a nap…was it…?"
"Dammit, don't do that!" Yusuke shouted, "What the fuck! We though you had died!"
A weary grin curled around her lips, "Nope…not yet, Urameshi…I won't be dying for awhile…" she assured him quietly. She stared out at the ring and slowly closed her eyes once more, "I…I just want to take my nap…o-okay…?" her voice faded as she passed away out of consciousness while Yusuke gritted his teeth and nodded shortly.
Yeah, take your nap, Mai…I'll make sure this bastard pays…
Quickly, he whirled towards the arena, "Watch her, Kurama," he muttered, "…Bakken's in for a rude awakening if he thinks he can get away with this…"
Ruka sneered as she rested her hands on her hip. Turning to Hiei, her smirk widened, "Your little friend there was lucky…" she drawled, "A moment longer in the ring and she might not have survived…"
The apparition glowered, "The onna is not my friend," he corrected darkly, and paused, "If that bastard had continued fighting, Kurama and the detective would have torn down the entire stadium to stop him…You and the rest of the lowlifes in this place were lucky…"
Her magenta eyes flashed dangerously before the masked fighter cut in.
"Hiei was nearly ready to fight as well…" she said with serenity as she turned to the seductress, "His strength is returning to him…" she added while she shot Ruka a sharp glare. Across the sidelines, Kuwabara struggled to get to his feet with the help of Botan. His determination to help Yusuke and to avenge Mai was evident, but the moment he began to erect himself, there was a sickening crack coming from his body. The ferry-girl caught him as he collapsed onto the earth.
Urameshi glared into the arena at Bakken, and without consulting the rest of his team, he leapt nimbly into the ring. Koto—after recovering from the shock of being thrown out of the ring—raised herself up onto the arena and grasped hold of her microphone.
She cleared her throat professionally (but it was apparent she had grown to disfavor team Masho's fighter), "The win from the previous fight goes to Bakken," she announced rather drearily and waited for the applause to die down. Once it had, her excitement suddenly returned to her, "But let's get the next fight underway! It appears as though Urameshi is out for revenge after the last match—which brings us back to this one! Let the next fight—between Bakken and Yusuke of team Urameshi—BEGIN!"
The detective grinned in anticipation and clenched his fists at his side. But there was a fire in his eyes that raged with his passionate anger towards the fighter. Kurama knelt beside Mai and let her head rest gently in his lap. Her scarred and bleeding face stained the white haori he wore, but he didn't seem to notice. Gently, the redhead ran his fingers through her hair while his eyes remained fixed on the fight beginning to take place.
In her sleep, the guardian mumbled something and weakly fingered the fabric of his clothing, "…K-Kurama…kun…"
-
Mai weakly peeked through the slits of her eyes at the redhead sitting cross-legged in the armchair next to the bed. His emerald green eyes casually read over the book sitting in his lap.
"I'm sorry, Kurama-kin," she mumbled through her comforter. Her cheeks were flushed with a fever and an ice-bag slumped on her forehead, "I didn't mean to get sick…" she continued softly and buried her face into her covers.
Kurama glanced up from his book and blinked, but it was soon followed by a genuine smile, "It's not you're fault," he told her gently.
Her violet-speckled eyes peered over the bed sheets, "But…we were supposed to go to the movies with the others…" she insisted, "You could have gone with them; I would have been fine…and you would have had fun," she glanced briefly out the window.
The redhead laughed and shook his head, "I think 'Hello Kitty: The Move' may have been too much for me. By now Yusuke and Master Genkai are probably on the verge of their sanity."
Mai giggled softly, but broke off into a dry cough. She used the blankets to stifle the sound and afterwards buried herself deeper within them, until only her eyes peeked over the hem.
"So…you would rather be here with me?" she asked softly.
He smiled, "Of course I would…though there is the chance that I could get sick in the process," he added thoughtfully and then laughed. Mai grinned along with him and sniffed, rubbing her nose with her sleeve. She paused though when a scent filled her nose.
"Um…Kurama?" she said warily and pointed to the smoke gathering at the top of the door.
The redhead jumped up, "Ah! I left the burner on when I was making your soup!" he hurriedly scrambled towards the door and flung it open. The guardian couldn't help but smile a little bit and giggle when she heard him frantically trying to put out the flames. He came back a few minutes later, his face scorched, but he was grinning nonetheless.
"Oh…Kurama-kun," Mai said as he returned to his chair next to the bed. With some effort, she raised herself off the bed and gently planted a kiss on his smudged face, "You need to learn how to put out a fire better..."
He laughed softly and scratched the side of his face, "I suppose that would help in future instances wouldn't it…?"
-
Yusuke's smirk was enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine, "So Bakken…" he drawled darkly, "Are you feeling lucky?"
The fighter started for a moment; caught off guard from Urameshi's tone of voice. But then he sneered back, clenching his fists at his side. He began to pant heavily; straining what seemed like every muscle in his body, but the fighter did not seem to be in pain as beads of sweat formed along his body.
Kuwabara started for a moment and his brow furrowed, "That's weird; there's something about his sweat that's giving him power—I can feel it, I just don't know what it is…"
"That's pretty gross," Botan put while her nose wrinkled, "Who would want to put their power in their sweat?"
Above them in the stands, Sakyo let out a short laugh. Toguro, who stood next to him, glanced down at the gambler and back at the ring.
"Bakken's pretty weak isn't he?" Sakyo asked casually as he crossed his legs, "The only reason he won the last fight was because he took advantage of that girl's condition, wasn't it?"
Toguro carefully placed his hands in his pockets, but didn't answer. The gambler smirked in his amusement and kept his eyes on the match. But both Sakyo and the demon knew that this match would soon be over once it began.
The detective watched emotionlessly as Bakken continued to sweat profusely; obviously, he wasn't all too impressed by the fighter's abilities. But then team Masho's fighter raised his fists above his head. From every pore in his body, wisps of mist rose into the air and began to fill the entire stadium. Yusuke looked as though he would be sick as the nauseating odor of Bakken's B.O. filled the air.
Before long, Urameshi was enveloped in the white cloud that now trapped him in the arena. The rest of his teammates looked into the haze uncertainly as the detective disappeared from their view. He glared through the mist; searching for his opponent—
But before Yusuke could find him, his senses suddenly pricked and he whirled around to find a spiral of energy hurtling towards him. Immediately, he jumped out of its way—only to find Bakken's fist digging into the side of his face. The detective staggered back to the ground and his eyes quickly shot up towards his opponent, but the fighter smirked and back away into the mist.
He gritted his teeth angrily and made a move to charge after him, but a swift movement caught his eye. When he turned his head, there was another whirlwind of energy flying at him.
Yusuke laughed inwardly to himself, so he has a little strategy all planned out…I should have known…
Anticipating Bakken's second attempt, Urameshi dodged the spiral and started to maneuver away from the fighter's next attack. His opponent, however, surprised him by attacking from a different angle.
The detective found his opponent's fist in his gut now and he stumbled backwards slightly. There was a pause as he recovered from the blow…but then Yusuke smirked and started laughing. Bakken blinked in surprise—but that was soon replaced with fury as he gritted his teeth; how dare the little punk mock him!
Taking his fist, the fighter threw it into Urameshi's face causing his head to snap to the side…
And yet he still continued to laugh at him!
Bakken growled darkly, "What's so funny?" he demanded.
"Nothing," the detective replied simply as his laughter died down, "I just think it's funny that you actual made it this far in the tournament. I mean, no wonder you took advantage of Mai being unconscious; hell, if she had been awake you would have been a bloody heap along the sidelines by now."
His opponent's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Are you calling me weak?"
Urameshi shrugged, "If by weak you mean a fucking coward who hides behind his dirty tricks to win…then yeah, you could say that," he replied casually while he sent Bakken a dirty glare despite his calm composure.
The fighter clinched his teeth as his fists shook at his sides. And suddenly, Bakken—filled with his angry fury—charged towards the detective. Yusuke smirked and raised his hands in front of him with his index finger pointing out towards his opponent. But as the fighter advanced on him, Urameshi shifted the position of his hands and fired away from Bakken. Team Masho's fighter paused in his charge as Yusuke's spirit gun raced past him.
Not a moment afterwards, there was a crash from beyond as the attack made contact with the stands. The earth beneath them shook so violently that the mist around them was lifted. Bakken glared at the detective furiously as steadily the rest of the stadium came into view.
Slowly, Yusuke let his hands drop to his side; there was a fury now burning in his eyes that was fiercer than before…
He was finished playing games.
"I'm giving you two options…" he told his opponent darkly, "You can continue fighting and get shit beaten out of you…or you can beg for mercy."
Bakken's fists began to shake in his fury, and without answering the detective, he started to charge once more. Urameshi made no move to step aside of his attack but waited as the fighter thundered towards him. And at the very last possible moment, the detective threw a punch into his opponent's stomach.
Throughout the stadium, there was a sickening crack as the fighter's ribs shattered within his body. Yusuke had hardly thrown the punch to begin with and yet Bakken's ribs now lay in shards inside of his chest. The fighter suddenly crashed into the ground, causing a crater to form, and clutched his abdomen desperately as he cried out in pain.
Urameshi took a step closer towards him and watched him suffer emotionlessly. Bakken unexpectedly began to sob from the pain as tears of agony filled his cold black eyes.
"Please…" he begged, "Please—mercy! Grant me mercy, I beg you!"
The detective said nothing to answer him and the fighter then began to cry out uncontrollably. But as Yusuke watched him, there was a brief moment where his expression softened when he heard the sincerity in his sobs.
That moment, however, was all Bakken needed. The instant he let his guard down, the fighter grasped a boulder from beneath him and suddenly smashed it over Urameshi's skull.
Yusuke reaction appeared rather comical, until he recovered from Bakken's cheap shot. Angry now, the detective clenched his fists until his knuckles had turned white. His brow furrowed darkly as he shifted his stance.
Suddenly, Urameshi began to charge towards Bakken, "You seem to have forgotten what you did to Mai—Let me refresh your memory!"
Before his opponent had time to react, Yusuke had come up behind him. Grasping Bakken's belt, he suddenly tossed him into the air above him. And faster than anyone could follow, the detective hurled punches into the fighter's body. The entire stadium could hear the sick cracking of Bakken's bones, but Urameshi did not relent and continued to crush the fighter's body.
With a final blow, Yusuke hurled team Masho's fighter across the arena and into the stands just beyond where Jin sat watching the fight. Bakken's body remained a broken and bloody heap amongst the pile of rubble surrounding him. The wind demon sitting nearby shot a quick glance towards his teammate and shrugged—though there was a hint of curiosity shining in his eyes briefly.
When Bakken made no move to rise again, Koto jumped into the center of the ring and began the ten-count. Yusuke's eyes remained on the broken heap emotionlessly; the bastard deserved it after taking advantage of Mai…
"Seven! Eight! Nine! And ten!" the fox-demon shouted and gestured towards the detective, "Winner of the fourth match—Yusuke from team Urameshi!"
Without even acknowledging some of the boos that came from the stands, he made his way off the platform and back onto the sidelines. Immediately, he walked over towards where Kurama knelt with Mai. Yusuke squatted beside them just as the guardian's eyes began to flutter open.
"Aw man, I missed the fight…" she said pouting weakly. Then she smiled and held up her hand, giving him a thumbs-up, "Heh, now I feel stupid losing to that guy…he wasn't all that strong, was he?"
Urameshi managed a dry smile, "Don't worry about it," he assured her, "You feeling any better?"
"Besides my excruciating headache?" she asked, "Yeah I'm just peachy."
He grinned slightly, "Promise me you'll rest for now, got it? I can't have you whining when we get back to the hotel," he told her, "Besides, I've got the last two fights."
"Be careful, Yusuke," Kurama cut in as he glanced across the ring, "They're most likely the strongest out of all of them; you'll have to try and conserve your energy if you're to make it through both fights."
The detective nodded and stood once more, beginning to head back towards the ring. But he stopped when Mai suddenly took hold of his hand. Yusuke turned around to face her and found that she had tears in her eyes.
"…Thanks, Urameshi…" she whispered.
It took him a moment to react before he grinned and gave her a thumbs-up, "Don't worry about it…
"I've always got your back…"
