10 A.M.
Inuyasha and his crew came just in time had they not ran into Sesshomaru's crew who were waiting for him at the MGM Grand. "What should we do for the time being"? Asked Miroku. Inuyasha just stared at Miroku and the rest of his crew. "Last night, we should've got revenge". Said Inuyasha. "Naraku got away and Sesshomaru nearly bled to death". Inuyasha added. All Inuyasha could think of was fighting Naraku, so that he would be the one that ran Las Vegas. He could only sigh and wonder. A knock on the door broke Inuyasha's thoughts. Sango opened the door and it was Shippo. "What is it, Shippo"? Asked Kagome. "There's a 8-man tournament happening at the MGM Grand, the winner of that tournament fights Naraku and gains a whole lot of respect and Las Vegas". Said Shippo. When Inuyasha heard this from Shippo, he jumped to the chance at knocking Naraku off his high horse and run Las Vegas. "Count me in". Said Inuyasha. "If anyone is getting their hands on Naraku, it should be me". He added. "The tournament doesn't start until tonight at 8". Said Kagome as she looked at the flyer. "Then I have no time to waste". Said Inuyasha.
MGM Grand
1 P.M.
Naraku sat in his office looking over Las Vegas for perhaps, the very last time. He sent out flyers for the 8-man tournament in the MGM Grand. He also kept thinking about last night and how Kagura would not shoot Sesshomaru or even Sesshomaru himself beating Moryomaru, Hakudoushi, and Goshinki. "So, if they want to go ahead for final battle, so be it, I won't let Inuyasha get in my way and take Las Vegas from me in a heartbeat". He said to himself. Soon there was a knock on the door and Naraku opened the door with his button. "Come in". Said Naraku without facing the person. "The flyers…are… sent, Naraku". Said Hakudoushi. Hakudoushi's punishment for not beating Sesshomaru was to walk shirtless and hand out flyers. "Humiliating, isn't it". Said Naraku. "I saw give each and every person in Vegas a flyer for my event". Naraku added. Naraku stood up and looked over his shoulder to see Hakudoushi still bruised from last night's fight with Sesshomaru. "The time to attack is now and when Inuyasha is out of the way, I will then eliminate Sesshomaru and there will be nobody, not even Kagura, to stop me". Said Naraku. Naraku just sat back down and would continue to look over Las Vegas until the sunsets.

3 P.M.
Inuyasha had been intensively for the tournament he would be involved in. "C'mon Inuyasha that's it". Said Miroku. "Keep this up and, Naraku doesn't stand a chance". Said Kagome. Miroku then let his eyes wander off a little to see some women working out. "Focus on training with Inuyasha, Miroku". Said Sango. "Uh… Kick harder, Inuyasha". Said Miroku. " Inuyasha never trained in a such a manner like this". Said Kagome. "Everything is on the line, Kagome". Said Inuyasha. "Naraku won't be able to walk on his two feet after when I'm done with him". Inuyasha added.
BALLY'S
5 P.M.
Koga also received the flyer about the 8-man tournament. Koga was working on his speed, kicks, and even doing the jump rope. "There's no way anyone is going to stop me, not Naraku, not Inuyasha, nobody". Said Koga. "I'LL BRING THE FIGHT TO WHOEVER IS MY OPPONENT"! Yelled Koga. Koga then began practicing his roundhouse kicks. "With my roundhouse kicks and lethal haymakers, where can I go wrong"? Koga asked. "Nowhere, Koga". Said Ginta and Hakkuku together.
MGM GRAND
8 P.M.
"The time is now". Said Naraku. Kohaku, Akago, Kageromaru, and Juromaru would be 4 of the eight participants for the tournament. Inuyasha and his crew arrived at the MGM Grand as they saw the arena before them. "This is it, Inuyasha". Said Miroku. "Good luck". Ah and Un soon arrived with Rin, Jaken, Kagura, and Sesshomaru. Kagura went back to her normal look with her now black hair up in a high ponytail with a feather in it. "Inuyasha looks like you're ready to knock out Naraku". Said Sesshomaru. "I couldn't be able to compete but Jaken volunteered to be in Naraku's tournament". Said Inuyasha. Jaken just gulped as he saw the rowdy crowd, the DJ, and the ring. Koga later came and saw that Inuyasha arrived. "Well, mutt". Said Koga. "Have you come here to lose to me"? Asked Koga as he began boasting. "Dream on. Koga". Said Inuyasha. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE TOURNAMENT Y'ALL BEEN WAITING FOR… STARTS NOW"! Said the DJ. "Who's up first"? Asked Sango. "Doesn't matter to me, I'm going". Said Inuyasha as he raced to the ring. Akago then steeped into the ring. The bell sounded and the fight was underway. Inuyasha threw Akago down on the floor as the crew erupted into cheers. Inuyasha then began stomping away on Akago. Akago then got up and threw a haymaker at Inuyasha but missed when Inuyasha moved out of the way. Inuyasha ran up the post and delivered a flying kick to the back of the head of Akago. Akago fell on his face flat. Akago got up again as Inuyasha was about to deliver the Iron Reaver. "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER". Yelled Inuyasha. The attack sent Akago flying to the other side of the ring. Akago was knocked out. "That was nothing". Said Inuyasha. Inuyasha got out of the ring where Kagome would congratulate him. Miroku then headed to the ring where he would face Kohaku. Miroku and Kohaku exchange lefts and rights to each other's faces until Kohaku tripped Miroku and had Miroku under the ankle lock. As Kohaku applied the pressure to Miroku's ankle, he caught a glimpse of Sango again. "Sango is that you"? Asked Kohaku as he let go of Miroku's ankle. Miroku got up and hobbled his way towards a distracted Kohaku and applied the katahajime on Kohaku. Kohaku was in trouble; he allowed his distraction of Sango to cause him to tap out. Miroku won but he grabbed his left ankle and, hobbled out of the ring. Jaken then headed to the ring nervously as he saw Kageromaru waiting for him. Jaken slowly entered the ring but Kageromaru wasn't having any of it as he attacked Jaken and began stomping away on him. Kageromaru then threw Jaken into the post and flung him over his back. Kageromaru then ran up the post and delivered a flying kick to the face of Jaken. Jaken fell on his back as he tried to reach his staff. Kageromaru pulled him back and applied an armbar on Jaken. The pain was so much for Jaken to handle that he gave up. Kageromaru had won. "Next time, Jaken". Said Sesshomaru. "Won't be any next time with me". Said Koga. Koga headed down the ring to face Juromaru. Juromaru ran at Koga but Koga dodged Juromaru and kicked him in the back Koga then threw Juromaru on the floor where he would begin mounting punches left and right on Juromaru. Juromaru then began coughing up blood as Koga then went for an uppercut to the chin of Juromaru. Koga then gave Juromaru a flurry of fists coming every which way at Juromaru. Juromaru was dazed and, finally Koga went for the knockout as he threw a haymaker at Juromaru sending him out of the ring. After the first round, Inuyasha, Miroku, Juromaru, and Koga advanced to the semi-finals. Naraku watched the tournament from the safety of his office as he began scouting his possible opponents for their strengths and weaknesses.
