Just as Kuwabara was finishing his battle with Inoue, the Staff Master, Naomi was totally zonking out. Seeing as she was half asleep already, all of her shame was pretty much out the window. She rested her head on Kurama's shoulder with a sigh. "So much for my special day," she muttered quietly. Kurama didn't hear her. Yusuke was walking towards the arena for his battle with Murakami, the Karate Master, and Kuwabara was walking back to the bench, giving Kurama a nasty look. He was obviously jealous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Um, Naomi," Kurama began hesitantly and a little uncomfortably (for Kuwabara's benefit). She opened one eye to look at him. "Hm?" "You're leaning on me." She opened both eyes and blinked twice, but didn't lift her head. Yusuke's battle was now well underway. She closed her eyes again, and said disparagingly, "Well you don't expect me to lean on Hiei, do you?" He laughed lightly, trying not to disturb you. "True. I can't say I blame you." "Hey Kurama?" She asked innocently. "What?" "Why's Yusuke moving so slow? He probably doesn't even notice he's losing." "Huh?" He looked up at the fight, and for the first time noticed that Yusuke was on the defensive. "You're right. I hadn't noticed." "Noticed what?" Kuwabara asked, confused. He'd thought Yusuke was winning. Hiei just laughed once, a little "hn," and said, "You baka. Can't you tell? He's on the defensive. He's holding back." Kuwabara looked again, this time noticing it. "Hey Uremeshi," he shouted to Yusuke, "Quit holding back you idiot!" Yusuke yelled back, "What did you call me?" "I called you an idiot, idiot! You're losing! Quit holding back you loser!" In a rage, Yusuke punched his opponent out of the ring with one hand, glaring at Kuwabara. "And the win goes to Team Uremeshi," Shouted the announcer. Yusuke stomped up to Kuwabara and they started arguing like idiots.
Naomi got up and stretched her arms a little. She was up next. She stretched to each side, a little comically, before walking up onto the raised arena. "Ah. I feel better now. Now it's time for some fun." The announcer girl saw her and began to get a little excited. "Next up for team Uremeshi is their new member, Miss Takimura! She'll be going up against Team Fukuoka's leader, Fukuoka himself, the Ninja Master! Now, I don't usually pick sides, but I must say I'm rooting for my cousin out there!" Naomi flashed a cute smile and a peace sign before facing her opponent.
Fukuoka was dressed as a stereotypical ninja, so that only his eyes appeared through the cloth covering his head. "Well, this should be fun," she commented quietly. "Fun?" Fukuoka asked her. "You truly are a neko no baka. You're hardly awake and you think battling me will be fun?"
She just smiled and nodded. The moment the announcer shouted "Begin!" Fukuoka started throwing shuriken at her. She jumped and spun, landing gracefully on his head. Leaning over she said, "Too slow. Try again!" "Big mistake," he said to himself. He thrust a knife across her legs, but she jumped off of him before he could hit her. Waiting for her was another knife. She ducked only to find another knife flying towards her. She was prepared for something like this. She kept jumping, ducking, and twisting, doing all sorts of gymnastics across the arena. He paused for a moment, frustrated.
"I know how you Ninja work. You're constantly setting up traps and leading your opponent into them. But I'm prepared: you can't trick me. I'm really rather disappointed. You're not very much fun." "You want fun?" he scoffed at her. "I'll give you fun." He pulled out a strange looking knife, and with a wrist movement it opened up into a huge black shuriken. He smirked. "I know what that is," She said, surprised. "That's a shadow blade. Or is it a demon shuriken? No, I remember. It's a Demon Wind Shuriken, Windmill of Shadows." "I'm impressed. You know your Ninjitsu Weapons. Yes, this is the legendary Demon Wind Shuriken." He moved his hands to reveal three more: He had four huge shuriken.
He threw one at her and she jumped. Instantly another one was coming straight at her. She managed to duck just in time, but another shuriken was coming at her. Naomi jump-rolled over that one so she could avoid the last one he threw at her. "That was fun," she said, "But I think we should finish this up." Now she was directly in front of him, holding her knives, which she got from sheathes on her legs as she rolled. He smirked. "If you liked that, you'll love this." She turned around to find that the shuriken boomeranged and were coming back at her. Fukuoka disappeared, but she knew where he was. She jumped up and used her hand and feet to spring up from one shuriken to the next until she was right in front of Fukuoka again. "Boo." She caught him off guard and they both fell to the ground.
They were facing off again. Suddenly a dozen blades were speeding towards her: Fukuoka had hidden Kunai. After the storm of Kunai was over, Naomi was left standing with a Kunai between each of her fingers and palms: she had caught all ten. He smirked even more. "I win. You have nothing left to catch with." He threw two more Kunai at her. She caught one in her mouth, but the other was aimed straight for her heart. She moved slightly to the side and caught the last one with her tail. Fed up with the fight, she hit him out of the ring with a flying side kick to the chest. Needless to say, Naomi won.
