CIRCUS CIRCUS

4 P.M.

An hour had passed after the first round of the citywide tag team tournament. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had advanced and would take on the thunder brothers on their turf that they bought from Naraku, the Venetian. They had encountered Koga and his crew and were looking to take them out before they even got to Naraku. "The nerve of those guys". Said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru had nothing to say at all about what Inuyasha was talking about. Five minutes had passed and Sesshomaru finally said something to Inuyasha. "Let's just worry about winning". He said as he just looked at Inuyasha. "Yeah, whatever". Said Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru along with their respective crews, headed for the Venetian.

THE VENETIAN

4: 35 P.M.

The citywide tournament continued as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru headed into the Venetian to take on their next opponents. Just then, Kikyo and Kaede passed by both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. "Have fun". Said Kikyo as she and Kaede headed out of the Venetian. "They must've lost". Said Inuyasha. "The thunder brothers are known to be cut-throat and they bought this turf from Naraku". Said Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had been up to date on what was going down in the Las Vegas underground more than Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's crew later caught up with the two. "You left us hanging over at the Circus Circus". Said Miroku. "Our apologies". Said Sesshomaru. Shippo was eating cotton candy when he came across what looked like a statue. Shippo looked at the statue only to see it move, which scared him running to Kagome. "Kagome, that statue just moved". Said Shippo "That's just a person as a statue". Said Kagome. "Now, he's delusional". Said Inuyasha. "I'm not". Said Shippo. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's crews entered in the Venetian where they saw a ring in the center. "This place looks magnificent". Said Sango. "How come Inuyasha never got this instead of the Bellagio"? Asked Miroku. "Then he wouldn't need to fight me for it". Said Sesshomaru. "Why you". Said Inuyasha. Before Inuyasha could even say anything to Sesshomaru, The thunder brothers made their way towards them. "Well, well, well, looks like we got ourselves new opponents". Said Hiten. "We're gonna crush you like insects". Said Manten.

"You guys are all talk". Said Inuyasha. As the argument between the thunder brothers and Inuyasha continued, Shippo caught a glance of a young girl serving drinks. "Hi ma'am" said Shippo "My name is Shippo". He said as he introduced himself. "My name is Souten". She said as she introduced herself. Then the thunder brothers made their way towards Shippo. "HEY YOU"! Yelled Hiten. "STAY AWAY FROM OUR SISTER"! Hiten said as he stared into Shippo's eyes. "Leave him alone, he's just a buffoon looking for love" said Inuyasha. "We'll make you a deal". Said Hiten. "You win, your little friend here can go out with Souten but if you lose…DON'T SHOW YOUR FACES HERE EVER"! Said Hiten. Shippo nodded towards Inuyasha's direction. "Okay, it's on". Said Inuyasha. The match began with Inuyasha and Hiten in a fistfight and Sesshomaru and Manten in a test of strength. Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru gained the upper hand and were beginning to turn the tide on their opponents. Sesshomaru choked Manten with his whip of light. Inuyasha threw Hiten into the ropes as Inuyasha prepared for the iron reaver. "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER"! Yelled Inuyasha as he knocked out Hiten. Hoten then got out of Sesshomaru's chokehold only to get knocked out by Sesshomaru's haymaker. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru just looked at the thunder brothers, Inuyasha then turning his head towards Sesshomaru, and the brothers just shook their heads as they took another look at the thunder brothers on the canvas. Shippo was happy that he now had a new friend. "Okay, now that my brothers lost, I guess we can do something fun". Said Souten. "How cute". Said Kagome. Seeing both Shippo and Souten together made Kirara jealous as she hissed. "Stop being jealous, Kirara". Said Sango. "Where the two of you are going"? Asked Kagome. "We'll find a bowling alley". Said Shippo as he held Souten's hand. "Be careful". Said Kagome. Kirara just hissed. "Don't worry, Kirara". Said Miroku. "Kids". Said Kagura. "Where did Shippo go"? Asked Inuyasha. "He went with Souten after you guys won". Said Miroku. "He should've thanked me". Said Inuyasha. "I'll make sure he does". Said Kagome. Kirara just rolled her eyes.
