Here. Enjoy. I can't think of n e thing else to say...


Chapter 9:

"Hey, hey," Kurama said painfully as the nurse, Enchantress, wrapped his right leg in an Ace bandage. His left leg was already wrapped. "Careful…" He leaned his head back.

"You are unfit to battle," Enchantress told him.

Everyone looked at her and said, while glaring, "No Duh." Yes, even the pained Kurama said that. He even said it the loudest.

"No. Moving." She said. She began to walk out, but spotted Lee. This could be fun… She walked over to Lee and inspected her person. Then, she pointed out the door. "Follow me."

"Why?" Lee started up her game again.

"Because I said so."

"Who said so?"

"I did."

"Did what?"

"Rrg, just follow me."

"Follow who?"

"Me."

"You?"

"Yes, me."

"Why?"

"Because you are unfit to battle."

"Who is?"

"YOU!"

"You-who?" Enchantress glared, then straightened her body really tight, chin twitching. Then she… left. "What was that about?" Lee said, laughing and pointing to the door way with her thumb. Yusuke shrugged, then when back to whatever he was doing before Kurama's knees were sprained. Hiei went back to sitting on the window, and Kuwabara went back to making himself a turkey sandwich. Ailias slowly walked over to Kurama's side and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry," Ailias said, tears filling in her eyes. Kurama placed a hand on her head and stroked.

"It's not your fault. An old injury, that's all."

"But… I made it become an injury a-GAIN!" She said running around, trying to find who knows what. Kurama moved to stand, but some force was pushing him down. He noticed that Ailias's wails of despair had subsided.

"If you were hurt worse, I'd kick your, scrawny, teenage, ass." Ailias said darkly.

"You think I'm scrawny?" Ailias placed her head on his shoulder once more. He kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry about it." Ailias's fist clenched. Don't worry about it? How could she not? SHE JUST SPRAINED HER BOYFRIEND'S FUCKING KNEES FOR ENMA'S SAKE! She glared at him. He raised an eyebrow. Ailias stood and walked out the door.

"Nee-san! Where are you going?" Lee called.

"We have to battle Kit," Ailias called back. Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked out the door also. Except for Kurama. He tried to reach for the remote which was placed just out of his reach on the coffee table. He kept stretching his arm until, WHOOPS! He fell off the couch. Nice.

"Uh… HEY! Anyone wanna give me some help! HELLO!" His head drooped. "Man!"

At the Arena!

"Don't you think we should have checked if Kurama needed anything?" Yusuke whispered to Ailias. Ailias glared at him. Her chin then twitched and she began her compulsive wailing. Yusuke rolled her eyes. Juri walked onto the round stage, microphone in hand. She raised her left hand in the air as her right hand came to her mouth with the mic.

"Hello again! Today Team Urameshi will fight against Team Masho!" Juri yelled into the mic with great excitement.

"Jin?" Yusuke asked. "We're up against Jin again?"

"Looks that way," Hiei reassured him.

"We beat 'em once, we can do it again!" Kuwabara said.

"Whatever…" Lee said in a way that made her seem bored. Ailias continued with the water works.

"GIVE IT A REST AILIAS!" Yusuke yelled. "It's just a sprain! He'll be fine!"

"Oh," Juri continued. "It seems that Kurama from Team Urameshi is unable to battle due to sprains in both his knees. How'd he manage that Team Urameshi?"

"Ailias jumped on them," Hiei said coldly. Ailias looked at him and sobbed louder. So loud even, she sounded like she was screeching. Everyone else glared at Hiei, but he glared right back. Hiei won this glaring contest.

"It doesn't matter how his knees were sprained," Lee told Juri. "He'll be back next round, don't you worry."

"And what makes you think you're coming back next round?" The tallest of the group said. Risho.

"Trust me. I'll kill you all, if I have to, at the same time."

"Big words for such a small girl."

"Small brain for such a large man." Risho's face became very serious.

"Jin, I fight first. Against that little whelp." Jin nodded.

"Yusuke, I fight first, against this hunk of flesh without a backbone." Lee said seriously also.

"Lee," Hiei started. "You might be wise to hold your tongue sometimes." Lee hopped onto the stage and turned around to see Hiei.

"Why only sometimes?" She questioned with a tad bit of amusement submersing from her voice.

"Because, I find it amusing when your mouth should get you into trouble. When it does, it's just annoying."

"I find it amusing that you find my sarcastic mouth amusing."

"I find it odd who such a tiny thing can have such a large mouth," Risho commented.

"Find it odd all you want if you can find it at all."

"What?" She truly enjoyed his confusion.

"BEGIN!" Juri called into her mic, then sidestepped out of the way when Risho charged for Lee, his anger truly blocking his common sense paths to the brain. If that doesn't make any sense, here it is in simplest form: He. Lost. Control. Anywho, Risho charged at her, but she was nowhere to be found. He stopped quickly. Lee appeared above him. She unsheathed her duel swords and ran the blades across Risho's back in the X formation the YYH gang was so familiar with. Risho spun around and kicked Lee hard in the face, sending her out of the ring and smacking her against the walls of the arena.

"Maybe that'll teach your smart mouth a lesson," Risho commented. Lee kneeled, wiping blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe not," She said. She suddenly appeared on the stage. "This just might be fun after all."

"I'll teach you!"

"Too slow!" She yelled. She charged him just as he charged her.

"This won't be good," Hiei said, watching from the sidelines.

"Huh?" Yusuke asked.

"With Lee's momentum, and Risho's mass, they'll collide and be sent backwards. They'll both be knocked out."

"Yup. That's not good." Lee and Risho charged and sure enough, they collided. They both flew backwards, smashing into the walls of the arena. Juri counted to ten. A draw.

In the room with Kurama:

"One potato, Two potato, Three potato, Four. Five potato, Six potato, Seven potato, more," Kurama chanted on the ground, twiddling his thumbs. A service person, dude passed by the open door. "HEY! HELP!" The service person, dude looked in the room, then left when he didn't see anyone. "ON THE FLO-uh… One potato, Two potato…"

KJ and Niki signing off! Well? Is this major Foreshadowing or what? What do you think'll happen? Do you think Lee's mouth will get her into more trouble? Doesn't it always? Why am I asking you questions? ALL OF THESE SHALL BE ANSWERED NEXT CHAPTER!
