My knuckles throbbed on last time, I hissed in pain as I felt a ripping sensation in my knuckles.

Snkt!

Blue scalpel-like blades shot out from between my fingers, slicing right into Toguro's arm. His pale, lifeless gray eyes met my own fierce vermilion. He shivered.

"What? You scared of me?" I asked, smirking as I used the phrase he had at the building complex two months ago.

He laughed. I narrowed my eyes even more. The blood red color flashing gold.

"If you like the eyes of a hitokiri, I'll gladly show you those of a Shidosha."

He just continued laughing.

"Still can't let go? Maybe I should REALLY kill one of-" I didn't give him the chance to finish. I punched him straight in the face; he went flying down to the stadium floor. Leaping after him, I landed on his back, forcing him to slide across the ground. I jumped off and powered up my Spirit Gun, delivering the blast before he could get up.

Jin deflected the aura with wind. "Why are you helping us?" Kai asked, helping Ryo sit down.

"Yusuke asked me to."

"And why would you do anything she asked?"

"'Cause she's my friend." Jin grinned. Then paled as he saw Toguro. "Get behind us. Now." He ordered. Just as Toguro was about to strike, Yusuke blocked the attack. Jin listened to what she was saying. Friends… The only person he had called a friend before this tournament had been Touya. But now… He looked around and smiled. He watched her knock Toguro down she glanced back at them. Her eyes... Jin couldn't help but stare. They were... Golden... He couldn't move... She saw the effect they had on him, smiled apologetically but it was obvious she was relieved they were all right. She turned back to Toguro, and leapt after him.

"Is everyone alright?" Touya coughed.

"Yeah. But I feel weird, as if I'm being protected or something…" Rinku remarked.

"Yeah, it does." Chu agreed.

"It's such a melancholy wind she be firing. I can feel her emotions, like they're being pulled out from a big black empty." Jin whispered. Her emotions were intense. So intense that it felt like they were his emotions.

"The shock of almost loosing her friend was too great; the wall around her emotions came down." Touya explained. "Now her defensive power is protecting every one in the stadium, while her attack is driven solely on herself."

"Get up." I ordered. "I'm firing one last Spirit Gun and it's going to end this fight one way or another. So show me everything you have right now and if I win, I don't want to see you back up."

Toguro smirked and realigned his head with his neck, which had become lop-sided from my attack. "Ah, the eyes of determination. I have seen them many times on glory seeking fools. I always give their bearer's what they ask for, and nearly always it's a fight with me. But you asked me to give it all I have. So be it." His muscles hardened and began to expand again. "I admit I haven't been entirely truthful." He confirmed my suspicions. I began to power up my Spirit Gun.

"Our cobbler's makin' a last stand." Chu remarked quietly.

"They're pushing themselves to their limit to fight."

"Not just there, Rinku, right up to their limit and beyond!" Jin corrected.

"They're putting their lives on the line in this final attack." Touya closed his eyes against the wind that they were kicking up.

"Did it always glow that brightly?" Chu asked, staring at the Spirit Gun.

"Nope." Rinku replied.

I fired, putting every thing into it, caring for her friends all the way. I screamed out in pain as I began to fade. Toguro held on to the blast, groaning. I fell to my knees as my blast faded. Toguro didn't release the blast yet; he had to see it through. After it dissipated, I saw he was still standing. I fell forward, out cold. Toguro creaked as he stood and walked over to me.

"Aw man, Urameshi couldn't do it… We're screwed…" One demon whispered.

"I killed Genkai, but one remained. And now that final piece can at last be put to rest." He looked at the child Genkai almost called her own. "This was the first time I could use my absolute strength and you answered. Thank you again, Yusuke Urameshi." He smiled, almost fatherly, his gray eyes smiling. His muscles exploded, he fell forward, dead.

"That's…. hard to call." Koto remarked. Juri walked through the remains of the ring. She yelped at the sight of Toguro's body. Then she backed away.

Touya looked down and smiled.

Jin grinned.

Chu stared.

Rinku was stunned.

Koenma gasped.

Kuwabara's jaw dropped.

Kurama chuckled.

Hiei smirked.

Botan cried.

"JURI! Behind you!" She turned around and saw Yusuke. She slowly stood, taking a deep breath.

Koto jumped down from the announcer's box. "WINNER OF THE TOURNAMNT! TEAM URAMESHI!" Koto and Juri announced. The remaining of the spectators cheered.

I fell to my knees, my team ran over. "Am I… Am I alive?" I whispered.

"Of course you are! Do you see any halos on us?" Koenma asked. "Everything's going to be okay now." I nodded slowly and stood.

Sakyo walked forward. "Well Koenma, it's time to settle our great bet."

"Bet's off, your fortune is gone. You're no threat to me any more."

"Such kind words from such a wise ruler, but what's the point of betting if you know you can get out of your bets? No matter, I'll take care of it myself."

"Don't you dare!" I growled.

He looked at me for a second, then looked down. He pressed the button. "In fifteen minutes, this stadium will be ruins, taking me and my ambitions along for the ride. Lucky for you, I'm an ego-maniac that won't let my work continue without me." He turned and walked away.

"Stadium detonation, fifteen minutes." The sound system blared.

"I think we should leave now!" Touya shouted over the noise. The others agreed.

"Yusuke, can you look after the girls?" Koenma asked.

"Naturally. Why?"

"I've got some business with Sakyo." He turned to leave. "Don't get yourself killed." He ran off.

"You heard the man, let's go." I let them pass me as they ran towards their family and friends. I glanced down back at Toguro. "See ya around... Toguro." I smiled. As I limped after my teammates.

Kuwabara ran in the lead, shouting "Wait Yukina, I'll save you! Get out of the way, you stupid demons!"

We all got a sweat drop. "Why couldn't Toguro have killed him?" Hiei asked regretfully. I just grinned.

For any of you who have been wondering, Yusuke and Jin are half-siblings in this fic. Normally, Yusuke's blood is all human, but due to this Tournament, her demonic blood is lending her strength, i.e. the golden eyes and latent energy. After the Tournament, her blood will return to normal, it'll be like she didn't ever have the demon blood. And the only reason it tasted similar was because of that. Because if her blood was normally like this, I would've had a scene with Koenma and Botan discussing it. Plus, Hiei would've noticed, and probably Kurama as well. So if any one really wants Jin/Yusuke scenes, I'll write them, but their relationship will basically be similar to that of brother and sister, though Jin will be somewhat interested in her romantically.
