Long wait, I know. Im sorry for being sucha bad authoress and doing my duties as a responsible suthor and updating. I'm not going to lie, my aunt and cousins are doing a little bit better but are still having a rough time as well if that makes any sense. Also, don't expect an update anytime soon from me either...being in high school is a lot of stress and I'm failing so many classes its not even funny. I know this is also a short chapter, but at least I updated right? One more thing, I was curious to as if I should make Turuka another main character? I've put a lot of thought into this story and I honestly think he would make a good character especially after you read this chapter. So let me know what your opinions are. Also...if your interested...I have a AIM sn if you want to give me a heads ups. Its monksmackersango Weird I know, but thats what I chose. Anyways, on with the chapter.

I do not own Inuyasha or YuYu Hakusho.

Chapter 19 'The Match is Yours'

Kagome/Turuka POV

It had a good while since the third match had started and Kagome had enough of it, enough of dodging all that lovely acid of Turuka's that is. She was hoping there was a limit to his amount of acid but it seem to just come right out of nowhere! Kagome's day couldn't get any better, note the sarcasm there.

'I have come to the conclusion...' she thought as she jumped across the ring and rested her palms on her knees as she took a few deep breaths. 'That I am going to die.'

"Why stop? Are you making plans for your funeral perhaps?" Turuka leaped forward at her, she dodged for what seemed the 50th time that match with an annoyed grunt.

"Great! Just great, not only does he have a unlimited supply of acid that I get at the low price of nothing, he's also a circus pyshic that can tell me if I'll ever find true love."She muttered sarcasticly, he raised a brow stopping before her.

"You don't need a pyshic to read your emotions, your eyes show it all. What disappointments me though, is that you show no fear." he narrowed his eyes at the last statement

"Suck it up, so the only reason your holding back is because I show no fear? Thats pathetic!" She threw her hands up in the air in a 'I can't belive this!' gesture. 'On the other hand...maybe I can hold on until Yusuke and the others get here...speaking of which...' "Where the hell are those guys anyway?" She unconciously turned her back to Turuka looking around the stadium. Turuka sweatdropped at the seemingly random change of topic as did must of the demons that could hear their conversation.

"This girl is supposed to be Urameshi's cousin?" he asked himself holding back the urge to just leap forward and attack while her back was turned. His demon pride refused to let him though so he just stood there looking at his naive opponent and finally asking himself why the hell he even entered this tournament in the first place. 'Thats right, I had joined so I would get the chance to defeat Yusuke Urameshi, the last tournament champion. Then I got stuck with these guys...' She thought glancing out the corner of his eye at the two remaining team mates who were looking at him expectingly as if trying to get him to attack Kagome.

"KOENMA! WHERE THE HELL ARE THOSE GUYS? SHOULDN'T YOU BE LOOKING FOR THEM!" Kagome yelled up into the stands, her hands cupped around her mouth.

Turuka had one word for what he just witnessed...'Unbelievable'. With a long sigh he retracted his acid dripping claws and turned toward Juri.

"The match is hers." Everything seemed to freeze in that moment as he turned and started back over to his dumbstrucked team. Kagome turned to him gapping.

"What?"

"The match is yours." He repeated rolling his eyes.

"But...why? You had a huge advantage over me!" She said clearly not over her shock of what was taking place. He sighed again annoyed this time as she turned looking over his shoulder.

"I came to compete in this tournament so I could go up againest Yusuke Urameshi. I didn't come here to waste my time fighting a miko." She turned again ignoring the protests of his team as he walked past them and leaned up againest the wall in a bored manner.

"I..um...Kagome from Team Urameshi wins this match..." Juri spoke into the microphone also still shocked. Boo's rang around the stadium and yells of insults were thrown at both teams. Kagome sighed, she got lucky on the last one, and that was the first opponent of hers that didn't get killed. She reminded herself of Hiei... She sweatdropped slumping ever so slightly.

'What did I get myself into...?'

Koenma POV

'Run..run..run..run..run..HIDE...!' He slid behind a nearby piller waiting until a group of demons passed before taking off again. Once he was out of the stadium, he made a portal momentarily taking his pacifier out of his mouth to do so. He arrived in his office in Spirit World and found it empty...and no George...another thing? There was a clear red dot blinking on his screen signaling a large amount of energy usage. Koenma was pissed...

"GEORGE!"

Spirit Detectives POV

Yusuke was still in his bad mood as he stomped around the shrine punching Kuwabara everytime he came close and tried to calm him down so when Koenma appeared out of a portal near the god tree the first thing he did was try and punch the Spirit Prince himself.

"What took you so damn long!" Yusuke exploded

"Calm down Yusuke, your lucky I even got here now." Koenma glared at him.

"What about the tournament and everyone else?" Kuwabara blurted out before Yusuke could snap back at him. Hiei jumped down from his branch as Kurama rushed over. Koenma held up his hands in a mercy gesture as he motioned the portal.

"I'll tell you on the way to the stadium, now go." He sighed as he enter the portal last closing it quickly behind him. The group of five ran toward the stadium once more ignoring the strange abnd hatred filled looks from the demons around them.

"Well?" Yusuke asked annoyed

"Your team was not disqualified, but the only way for your team to continue on was if Kagome agreed to fight Team Hakaku by herself, one on one."

"What! She can't take on five demons!" Yusuke and Kuwabara both said flabbergasted.

"She's beaten the first two members already, however...the third was a bit more difficult. The only reason she won the third was because he gave it to her. Thats when I left." Koenma said trying his hardest to keep up with the much faster four detectives.

"How long ago?" Kurama asked "Can we still make it before the fourth match?"

"I'm not sure, if we're lucky...the committee could have called an intermission. But we've been known to have bad luck in the past.

"Let's go!" Yusuke sped up as did the rest...except Koenma who stopped trying to catch his breath.

"W-wait up!" he yelled standing up straight once more and taking off.

The Girls POV (I haven't done them in awhile, and I want to get a variety of characters POV's in...)

"Do you think she can defeat the last two?" Yukina whispered nervuosly

"Of course she can! We're talking about Kagome here!" Botan said pumping his fist into the air. "Come on Kagome!"

"I'm still worried about Yusuke and the others..." Keiko said holding Puu closer to herself, "What do you think could have happened to them?"

"They'll be fine." Genkai stated in her cocky tone her arms folded across her chest as she stared down at the empty ring. The committee had finally given Kagome a chance to breathe before her next match, with Yukio.

"Well I'll be damned..." Shizuru muttered around her cigarette as she looked across the room where four familier figures stood above the stands.

"OH MY! Look at this! The rest of Team Urameshi has just showed up! Talk about being fashinably late!" Koto said. More boo's rang around the stadium as the team made their way in further.

Original POV

Kagome ran through the doors from her room where she was frreshening up and bandaging her new wounds as soon as she heard Koto's announcment.

"Yusuke! What happened to you guys?" she rushed over quickly tying off the bandage she was halfway finished wrapping.

"Kag/Kagome!"

"So you four managed to make it back before we killed her..." Haru said in distaste, the group narrowed their eyes at him as he made his way closer to the group.

"Kagome, you rest. I'm taking over this match now."

"You can't." Kagome, Koto, and Juri all said "Since you four weren't here, only I am allowed to compete." Kagome finished

"Thats right, and you'll disqualify if you don't follow up on the deal the miko and I made. For her to win, she need to defeat Yukio and myself."

"Hell no! I don't care what deal you two made, theres no way I'm letting Kagome back in there with the wounds she already has!" he snapped

"KILL URAMESHI! KILL URAMESHI! KILL TEAM URAMESHI!" The group all looked into the stands at the raging demons.

"WE CAME HERE TO SEE URAMESHI BE KILLED!" Another demon yelled, Haru huffed in annoyance before turning his back to them.

"Fine, its not like it will make a difference anyway."

"Good." Yusuke flipped off his jacket and jumped intot he ring. "Kagome, you just rest." He grinned to her giving her a thimbs up. She gave a light grin and chuckle.

"Yusuke, Chu told me to pass on a message to you."

"Chu? You met him?"

"Him, and the others. He told me to tell you "Tell that bloke we'll see him in the final round!"."

"That definately sounds like Chu, heh. We'll see him alright." He looked to his opponent. "Just as soon as I kick these guy's asses." Kurama took a light hold of her arm leading her a bit further away from the ring.

"We should probably get these bandages properly wrapped." He flashed her an amused look. She grinned sheepishly sitting down againest the wall.

"I kinda rushed on it..."

"I can tell."

"Well okay Mr. I-know-everything. You do it then."

"I had already planned too." She sweatdropped allowing him to take off the poorly wrapped bandages. "Right..."

"Yusuke Urameshi! vs. Yukio! You may now begin!" Juri yelled before running out of the ring. Kagome glanced at the match before turning back to Kurama.

"So what exactly happened to you four? If you say fashionably late...you four will not live to see tomorrow." She glared

"A portal" Hiei stated moving up againest the wall not to far from her and Kurama.

"A portal...? That explains a lot Hiei." she said sarcasticly, he rolled his eyes giving an annoyed grunt.

"Someone made a portal sending us back to the cities, the area around your shrine. So we went to your shrine and tried to contact Spirit World but noone was there apparently."Kurama took over as he finished bandaging her leg.

"Am I going to be pissed when I get home?" She asked suspiciously

"He took his anger out on Kuwabara." The two said bluntly as if it were obvious, she sighed wincing slightly at the pressure put on her wound on her arm.

"Does that hurt?" Kurama asked

"Yes..." She said through her clenched teeth. "Let go...!" she whinned trying to take her arm away. He kept it in a firm grip.

"Aren't you going to allow me to bandage it?" He raised a brow

"Yes, but..."

"Then your going to have to suffer through this while I try to get this acid cleaned up on your arm." He said

"Yes docter..." she grumbled

"So Chu, Jin, Touya, Zazuka, and Rinku are here." Hiei stated changing the subject as he kept his eyes on the watch.

"It would appear so." Kurama said

"AND YUSUKE WINS THE FOURTH MATCH!" Rang through the stadium...

End Chapter 19

There you have it. I'd like to let you know that I DO NOT plan to make this a huge Kagome/Kurama pairing story. If I ever write a sequal to this, or I should say when I get the time, that will be based more on them. This story is mostly on Kagome and Yusuke's relationship as cousins as you can tell. I'll try to sneak in a couple of moments but we'll see what happens.
