I knew what was going on... Somewhat. I could tell Kuwabara was getting his ass kicked, and later that the guy Kurama was fighting, Roto, was bad news for his mom. And that Zeru had almost incinerated Hiei and that he had to use the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, which will probably maim his right arm for the rest of his life. But I couldn't get myself to wake up, so I did the only thing I could: give advice while sleep talking. Of course, no one really took it seriously, though... Oh well. Then some guy killed his teammates and came to the ring. Interesting.
I wrinkled my nose at the smell of alcohol, somehow feeling a sense of familiarity. Slowly, I started to wake up. Stretching slightly, I saw no one noticed I was awake, so when Kuwabara began shouting "Unless, of course, I can get Urameshi to wake up!" I flipped into the ring, stretching. "That's funny, where'd she go?"
"Waking up to the smell of alcohol... Can't feel a touch of home." I made a big show of picking my ear. I then glanced at the murmuring crowd. "Hey, all you stupid demons! I've been trying to sleep through your clever trash talk long enough! And I'm ready to kick some asses!" Grinning at the effect that had, I walked towards Chu, cocking my head in a confident smirk. He said something and spat. I glanced up at the stands again when I heard them begin some chant.
"Kill Yusuke! Kill Yusuke! Kill Yusuke!" I rolled my eyes. Talk about original. I sighed, well, I didn't expect much else, considering I was something of a boogey-man to the apparitions, to quote Hiei for when I heard him talking to Kuwabara on this. Ignoring them, I turned back to the drunken Australian.
"Stay there, for a bit, I forgot something." My eyes widened as he vanished and reappeared with Koto's microphone in hand. "Sorry Sheila, gotta borrow." He coughed. "Right, before we get this thing going, I want to get the record straight. First off, I am a really ace person and the only thing I suck at is." Drum roll. "Paper rock scissors!" I blinked.
Koto grabbed the microphone back. "Uh... Let me try to translate for the drunkard here. This morning, Team Rokuyukai decided on its roster by a game of paper-rock-scissors. Chu lost pathetically and became the alternate. But he wants you to forget about all that, because he is number one!"
"YEAH!" Chu laughed, getting really pumped up.
"No need to thank me, that is why I am here." Koto grinned as she bowed. Perceptive.
I glanced towards Rinku, (yes, I heard the name) who was acting nervous (Chu's going to act really dopey again, I can feel it) and glanced back at him. "I'm strong, see! Can you even get what I'm yabberin' at ya!"
I smirked. Might as well as play with this guy. "Yeah I get it, it's not that hard you know." I threw off my jacket and began to do some basic stretches. "You were scared to fight me before, and now you're just blaming it on a stupid game."
"What! Didn't you hear the Sheila? I'm-"
"Get off the stage! The replacement is a pathetic drunk!"
Chu got an anime vein. "WHO SAID THAT!" And ran off to the stands, to where he heard the voice. I couldn't see/hear what was happening, but I guessed he was choking whatever demon had said that. And on the way back, he grabbed a beer. "This is just perfect, you probably think I'm useless to. Let me tell you something, mate! I-I am like a master of drunken fighting!" He finished it off and tossed it to the ground and continued talking while climbing back into the ring. "Suiken Technique is the official name, I think. You get distracted by my irregular moves."
"Yeah, whatever, drunkie, it's not like I haven't heard of it before." My eyes met his. "And you better be able to do something interesting, I did not come all this way to baby-sit a drunk."
"Did ya now? You won't be saying that once I hit my groove." He started to move, leaving after images. "Of course, I have to stumble into it first." He laughed sinisterly as he moved around, and after he stopped and his afterimages caught up, he remarked, "We're going to enjoy this."
"BEGIN!" Koto shouted.
Chu smiled slightly at me. "Now, let's see what you think of my stumbling little feet." He was off, moving as if he was a ghost or something, his movements flowing, and his speed only added to the problem. Kuso. I glanced around; I had to find this guy. Wait a minute... There. I barely managed to block his attack, and dodge his next one, squeezing in a counterattack. He stumbled back a step, and that was all I needed.
"RAAAH!" I lunged, and attacked, I landed, and he fell back. I glanced at him, and saw him vanish, and reappear beside me, barely giving me enough time to block with my shoulder. The kick sent me flying into the wall, burying me in rubble. Crap. I struggled to kick it off, ignoring Koto and Chu's comments, until I heard him shout.
"Come now, kid. I haven't done nothing bonzer yet! I haven't even done any challenging techniques!"
"Nine!" That's it. I landed in the ring, just before she said ten. I rotated my shoulder, after relocating it.
"Whew! Could've been killed if I didn't guard myself!" I remarked cheerfully, with an insane look on my face. "So... One dumb mistake, and I'm pushin' daisies, right?" I asked, getting a feral look on my face.
"Yeah, pretty much kid." Chu smirked slightly, crossing his arms.
"You know, this whole life or death thing, I'm starting to like it." I slowly licked my lips. He chuckled. "Let me guess, you two."
"There is no point in playin' if it ain't for keeps." The look of utter wildness matched my own.
"That's good, drunkie, we've finally found something in common." I rotated my arm one last time.
"You can begin at any time!" Koto announced.
I grinned, and charged up my spirit gun. Chu got a surprised look on his face. I grinned, aimed, and blasted. It barely missed him, crashing into the stadium behind him. "My Spirit Gun." I clarified as I blew the smoke from my finger and grinned.
"Like Chu, Yusuke has introduced her attack before using it on her opponent, but this is not "The Happy Game"! Where are cheats, the blackmail threats, the back stabs!"
Chu laughed. "Everyone's shoutin' at ya now, but you wanted a fair fight!" Then he suddenly got a green tinge and a sweat drop. "I think that terp I just drank wants to come back up and say hello." I blinked. He wiped his mouth with his arm. "Right, it's about time."
"I don't believe it! He's going to do the move! And so soon!" I glanced at Rinku, who had a look of surprise and fear on his face. This could be messy...
I glanced back up at Chu, who had shifted to s kind of sitting stance with a hand behind his back. A few seconds later, be brought out a canteen, about half empty from the sound of it. "This is the strongest stuff every made, it's called Ogre Killer." He began to uncork the bottle.
"Oh yeah, people." Koto announced, providing some background information apparently. "Take one sip of that and you'll wake up in jail the next morning, in the arms of a hairy demon you really don't want to know!" He spat out the cork and began to drink it down. "And he's definitely taking more than a sip!" He finished drinking it and dropped the canteen.
I watched apprehensively as he began to shake, as aura began to radiate off him, eclipsing the stadium. His skin darkened a few shades. He shifted back to that sitting stance and lifted one hand over the other, cupping them. He concentrated his energy into it. I squinted as I looked at it. There was actually alcohol mixed with his energy, apparently his finishing move. Much like my Spirit Gun, and approximately the same in force. It formed a sphere, which he took in his hand. "Ready for a real test of our capabilities?" He asked.
I grinned. "I was waiting for the invite!" We both took off running. We both stopped; he threw it like a baseball pitcher. I concentrated my energy. "SPIRIT GUN!" The two energies collided; I tensed and prepared to charge. It was going to be a draw. And I was right. We simultaneously charged, fists flying, not even bothering to block any of the head shots. He got a good punch in to my stomach, and I was sent flying backwards, off balance. He started creating a huge ball of energy and sent it cantering my way. I couldn't defend, or run. Damn. I could only...
As Chu threw it, he felt a twinge of regret. He actually had begun to like the cocky teen. Of course, the fact that she was hot helped matters, but it was a good fight, and anyone who gave him one deserved his respect, for she was the first to block it. Ever. Plus there was something about her... That was just... Attracting. He was pulled out of his thoughts by Yusuke's shout. "DOUBLE!"
I shifted to my standard firing position. "SPIRIT GUN... DOUBLE!"
"DOUBLE!" Chu shouted. The energy burst through his blast, hitting us both at the same time, or should've. We had both leapt into the air, and landed. Both breathing heavily and sweating.
"Well, they've shortened their breath and somehow lost their shirts, with the exception of Yusuke's bra. All in all, I'd call it a successful fight." Koto remarked.
"With that two for one shot, you used up all your ammo for your Spirit Gun. You're as weak as any other human." Chu grinned and saw the look on my face. His grin widened. "I'm right."
"Maybe, but so are you." I snickered.
"That's probably true, drongo..." He laughed shakily and put his hands just above his knees. "I'm so tired I can't even raise my arms." I laughed slightly at this. Soon both of us were laughing, just because we knew how this was going to go. Neither of us would give up, we'd go until one of us collapsed.
Suddenly Chu looked straight into my eyes. "What do you saw we end this like a couple of Malee bulls?"
I smirked. "I've got the balls."
He smirked and pulled two knives out of his leggings, then deftly caught them. "What do you say we end this with a Knife-Edge Deathmatch?"
