Well everyone, I must apoligize for the long wait in this chapter but things haven't been going to well here in my lovely home life. I have a few excuses as too why I haven't updated as well and why it will take much longer to update. Number one being, I have summer school and in my eyes its much rougher then school itself cause we have to do almost three times as much work as usual. Number two being as I've had rather busy weekends lately as well from going with my father fishing for fathers day to a couple of wedding receptions and babysitting. So once again please forgive me, I try my best to update soon and I actually plan on writing the nextc hapter as soon as I'm done with this one so you won't have to wait as long for the update but it will still be at least two weeks before the next chapter.
Now there are some more things I would like to clear up this is the SECOND dark tournament they've been too and Kagome's first. I would also like to answer why Kagome was hurt so bad when she could clearly be trained and be on guard. Please understnad that she is, but come on people! She was fighting a teleporter and couldn't sense him at all. Just imagine standing in her place and just suddenly someone appears close to you with a night. I'll tell you this much, I'd be scared out of my wits.
I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho!
Chapter 14 'Kurama's Anger' (cheesy title I know)
Last Time:
"Well, that was ceratinly a change of events, and I don't believe Blue will be coming back, Kagome's the winner!" yelled Jury. The stadium went up in an uproar. Yusuke didn't take anytime to get to his cousin's side just as the Hiraikotsu shrunk up again in her palm.
"Are you stupid! You could have been killed!" he all but shouted
"Yusuke, do me a favor and shut up." She then promtly fell into his arms in semi-unconciousness. He sighed, he would yell at her later, lifting her up he brought her to the wall next the Kuwabara and set her down kneeling beside her.
Kurama Pov.
'She's hurt! Go help her!' yelled Youko beyond mad
/Yusuke's taking care of her! I know your mad but you need to calm down/
(Look whose talking) It was true, Kurama was mad. Kagome was injured and that had really gotten to him. Not only was he not there to help her but he sat and WATCHED it happen. But who could blame him? It was the Dark Tournament and entering a ring during another fight was off limits. He almost didn't stop himself from going up there to help, Yusuke was much the same.
"Next Fighters!" yelled Jury, Kurama stepped forward with a frown tugging at his features as he entered the ring, he needed to let off some of the anger he felt inside him.
Now:
Inuyasha Pov.
"WHY THE HELL NOT?" Inuyasha yelled at his father who sat looking out glass window that surrounding their box where they sat. Sesshomaru was just as calm as him and Shippo was at te edge of his seat looking down at Kagome's body with worry Kirara sat on Kanna's lap calmly as her sister Kagura who sat next to her mate Sesshomaru sighed in annoyance.
"We caused quite a big commotion the last time you and Shippo ran out and we don't need to cause anymore. We're here simply to watch, not interfer." said Inutaisho not sparing his son a glance.
"Kagome's hurt! Are we just supposed to sit around and watch her get hurt!" he yelled again
"Thats not what I said" he said
"We'll it sure as hell sounds like it! She shouldn't even be IN this tournament! I should kill her cousin just for allowing her to enter with them! That emotionless shrimp too! He knows how weak she was!"
"Don't blame her cousin for this, you know as much as we know that once she makes up her mind no one can change it" said Sesshomaru glaring at his half brother
"This is not Hiei's fault either." Kanna added in a chilled voice to Inuyasha making him shiver as his eye twitched. Kagura snickered silently knowing exactly why Kanna was defending them, whats the use in being sisters if you don't act them them and share each others secrets?
"She's gonna get herself killed though!" Kagura stood up and walked in front of him before landing a punch in his stomach. (I know Kagura doesn't punch but imagine it! I find it hilarious and can't you imagine Inuyasha and Kagura getting into daily fights?)
"What the hell was that for?"
"Kagome is perfectly fine! She's not some snobby human whore that came to this tournament just to fuck around! She's a miko and has been trained! Can't you see that you fool!" she sat back down leaving Inuyasha on the floor twitching.
"Convinced?" asked Inutaisho
"Feh!"
Hiei Pov.
Hiei's brow rose when Kurama volunteered, not because he volunteered but 'why' he seemed to be volunteering. He could feel the anger flowing off of him in waves. Did he care about Kagome THAT much already, when only knowing her for a couple of days? But. . . he had to admit, Kagome was a very trusting person and someone you could respect. He himself had trusted her with his life within minutes of when they met when usually he would kill anyone trying to get in his way. She was the only one besides his own mother that didn't cast him away, but even his mother couldn't stop his banishment from the ice world. Yukina was too young to even know what was going on. She was unique in her own way, he froze eyes widening as he looked down. He had never had feelings like these except with Yukina. Looking back at her form leaning against the wall his eyes hardened in determination. He would watch over her as if she were another sister of his.
"Kurama vs. Green! And Begin!" yelled Juri, he brought his gaze up to the ring where his best friend was facing off the green lowlife. Kurama was going to make a fool of himself; his mind was on Kagome and NOT the fight. He needed to focus or he just might get himself killed.
Kurama Pov.
A quick glance at Kagome and he brought his eyes to his opponent. Green held this mischievous look in his eyes as he gazed at him. Something told him that this fight wasn't going to be any easier then Kagome's.
"I'm just going to cut to the chase and tell you what my specialty is." Said Green, Kurama stepped back in defense with the classic rose in his hand ready for use at anytime as he listened patiently.
"Yes, my last two teammates were powerful but they made the mistake by giving your teammates the time to counter attack." He held a round object in his hand rolling it around.
"I'm known for my poisons, I have made hundreds of poisons all with different effects."
"A simple poison won't stop me, there's always a simple antidote that could cure it"
"True enough, but do you really have time to step out of the ring and get some without losing?"
"I won't have to since I don't plan on being poisoned" Green just shook his head before throwing the round object on the ground while leaping up out of the way. A smokescreen filled the ring and seemed to just stop around the ring like a barrier was keeping it in. All anyone could see was when Juri ran outside the ring in a panic.
"We'll make this more of a challenge then. With my smokescreen surrounding this ring and us not being able to see, you won't be able to see my poison enter your body. By the time you find out about it, it will be too late for you"
"You forget who you are dealing with," said Kurama
Yusuke Pov.
"This is just great! How the hell are we supposed to know if he needs our help?" Yusuke exploded.
"Do you doubt Kurama?" asked Hiei
"Well…no"
"Then he'll be fine, worry about the onna. She's waking." Yusuke immediately turned to his cousin kneeling down beside her. She opened her eyes with a small groan of pain.
"Kagome?"
"I'm fine, how long have I been out?" she asked sitting up holding her stomach.
"Not long, now lay down" She sent an annoyed look his way while placing both hands on her stomach.
"Yusuke, I'll be fine." Her hands glowed pink as her wound on her stomach and on her back healed before his eyes. "See? I can handle myself. I just couldn't heal myself during a fight if you know what I mean, and I still have enough energy left to heal the rest of you if needed." She stood up looking around. He glanced Hiei's way when he heard a light chuckle but Hiei was as emotionless as ever. Maybe it was his imagination.
He turned back to Kagome who was still looking around. She could be so stubborn at times. Here he was showing concern and trying to look out for her and all she does is heal herself and rub it in his face like nothing was wrong to begin with.
"What's going on Yusuke?" she asked staring at the ring still full of smoke.
"Kurama's fighting the green one and have been in there for a good 10 minutes. The green guy controls poison and was bragging an awful lot about it" he said
"How much exactly?" she glared out of the corner of her eye. (Ok now, think about this. Being glared at from the corner of the eye is MUCH more scarier then being glared at straight on. Believe me)
"He's no amateur," said Hiei, they turned to him but he apparently had nothing else to say to them or he didn't know anything more himself.
Kagome Pov.
'He's been in there for 10 minutes? That's far to long, this should have been a short fight with the smokescreen. Kurama I hope your alright.'
Kagome turned to the wall she had been leaning against and smiled slightly. Kuwabara had apparently fallen asleep to recuperate his strength. Sure he could be dense and stupid at times but he was sweet and caring. She kneeled down next to him and healed his wounds and looked up at where she sensed everyone. They were all looking down at the smokescreen except Yukina, she was looking down at her with relief and a smile of thanks which Kagome immediately returned with a little wave before turning back to the ring.
Original Pov
Another 10 minutes went by before the smokescreen started to finally go away. Silence went around the stadium as everyone and thing looked on.
"Kurama!" yelled his teammates, said person barely stood in the ring. He looked ready to collapse; his eyes were dull and half closed. Green lay severely cut up and dead on the ring floor. Upon hearing his name he turned to them with a faraway look in his eyes.
"Well, its seems Team Urameshi has earned yet another point!" yelled Koto. Yusuke and Kagome both jumped up in the ring and ran to Kurama.
"Kurama? What happened?" asked Yusuke
"He managed to get his poison in me and the side effect of being blinded didn't help" he said.
"Do you know what kind of poison he used?" asked Kagome; he brought his head up toward her.
"Kagome?"
"Yes, its me."
"I'm glad your okay" he managed a small smile before falling unconscious in their arms. They both brought him down off the ring and over toward Hiei and Kuwabara who were still over by the wall.
"I'll see what I can do with purifying the poison out of his body, the blindness I can't help though. We'll just has to wait and see if it is temporally or not." Said Kagome bending down beside his form.
"That leaves the next fight to me" said Hiei making his way up to the ring.
"Wait!" called Pink as he and Yellow made their way up.
"What? Giving up before you even get up?" asked Yusuke
"No, but we'd like to make this a bit more interesting" said Yellow
"Tell us already" snapped Hiei
"We each have two fighters left. We'll fight your two fighters against our own" said Pink "You win if you beat us, if we win then we'll continue with the original plan of the winning team getting 5 wins." He continued
"Well Hiei?" Yusuke raised a brow
"Hn, I could care less. Lets just kill them" Hiei scowled as he jumped up followed by Yusuke.
"Be careful you two!" yelled Kagome who had just finished purifying the poison from Kurama's body. His head was currently resting on her lap as she faced the ring to get a view of the fight to come.
"The committee has agreed to this, so the match will be Yusuke and Hiei from Team Urameshi against Pink and Yellow from Team Pluffio!" yelled Juri "You may Begin!" she then quickly jumped to the side to avoid being killed.
Hiei unsheathed his sword and made the first move by charging at the team leader, Pink. Yusuke not caring who he went for went for the second one, Yellow. Pink simply dodged every blow thrown at him by Hiei's sword, Yellow was much the same.
"Huh? What did I miss?" Kagome looked over at the wall where Kuwabara was standing.
"They've decided on a two on two match. If they win they continue to fight us until they get five wins. If we win then we get the match. How are you feeling?" Said Kagome
"Better, thanks again. I recognize your energy. What happened to Kurama? Is he okay?" he bent over them.
"He was poisoned and blinded during the match, I managed to purify the poison out of his body but we'll have to wait and see what the outcome is of this blindness." She said
"Was it a side effect from the poison or did he get cut in the eyes?"
"Side effect. Which means it most likely won't be permanent"
"I sure hope so" he stood up again looking at the match.
"So do I" said Kagome looking down at Kurama before bringing her gaze to the match. The match wasn't much different; the colorful pipsqueaks were still dodging over and over again.
"Stop playing with us and fight dammit!" yelled Yusuke increasing his speed and finally punching the Yellow one to the ground.
"Ya! Bring him down Urameshi!" yelled Kuwabara, Yellow recovered quickly but wasn't fast enough as once again he was punched in the face this time flying into his teammate Pink as they both went flying back into the stands.
"You will not defeat us!" yelled the colorful midgets in unison as they jumped down into the ring. They clasped their hands together and started forming a large energy ball of swirling colors of pink and yellow.
"I don't like the look of this," said Yusuke bringing his finger up ready to shoot his spirit gun if needed. Hiei didn't waste anytime and ran at the two then disappearing. Then next thing anyone saw was Hiei landing on the other side of them sheathing his sword boredly.
"Lets see what you can do now"
"What do you mean? You didn't do anything!" yelled Pink
"Are you so sure about that?" asked Yusuke, the two midgets looked at their hands where the energy ball still was but …their arms were missing? The next thing anyone saw was the energy ball exploding in front of them and the ring being swarmed in a light.
"We win," yelled Yusuke
"Don't think so" the team looked over at yellow that had been thrown against the wall. The team leader, Pink lay next to him dead.
"How are you even alive?" asked Hiei with disgust
"You shouldn't underestimate my power" he glowed a bright yellow and he grew in size becoming a …big fluffy yellow…cotton ball? It had to be the size of an elephant maybe bigger.
"Your pathetic attacks are useless against me now!" he laughed.
"We'll see about that! SPIRIT GUN!" yelled Yusuke sending his trademark attack at the giant cotton ball. It went straight thru the thing.
"Would you look at that people! Yusuke's best attack went straight thru Yellow! What other surprises will come up next?" yelled Koto
"My spirit gun didn't work? Hiei I hope you have a plan cause I don't" said Yusuke
"Hn"
"He's going to use the Dragon of the Darkness Flame" said Kurama, Kagome looked down surprised and relieved to see his eyes back to his shining emerald green.
"Kurama? How you doing?"
"I'll be fine. I did however use up most of my energy" she helped him sit up so he could see the match better.
"I suppose so. Your lucky I've been trained to be able to purify poison from the body, as much as I hate to say it. You were on the brink of death."
"I am lucky aren't I? Thank you"
"No Problem, so what's this Dragon of the Darkness Flame anyway?"
"Hiei's most powerful attack. Watch" she turned to where he was looking. Hiei was unwrapping his arms and she was surprised to see a Black Dragon on his arm.
"What? No! I didn't expect you to use it so early in the tournament!" yelled Yellow backing up a bit as Hiei prepared it.
"Too bad for you, DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" Kagome's mouth dropped open as the Dragon emerged and started toward the giant cotton ball.
"Your finished you pissed on piece of snow!" yelled Yusuke from behind Hiei
"Nooooooooooooo!" yelled Yellow as it hit him. The dragon burned him till there was nothing left and return to Hiei. The stadium held silence once again at the amazing sight.
"Amazing" Kagome managed
"Well, once again we've seen a performance of Hiei's Dragon. The match goes to Urameshi Team!" yelled Koto, Juri stood shaking by the exit.
"Well, that went well" said Yusuke as he and Hiei jumped down from the ring.
"Lets go to the room, I think we all deserve a afternoon of rest." Said Kagome who was now supporting Kurama so he wouldn't fall.
"Sounds good to me" Kuwabara scratched his head as they made their way out.
