Hey guys! I AM SO SORRY! I'm sorry it took so long. I've been waiting for my YYH dvds. The first season. Now, it will make it a lot easier for me to write the stories. Which reminds me. Most of the dialouge came from the dvd. I "Avi urameshied" the dialouge though so it's not exactly the dialouge. I forgot to disclaime in the first chapter.

Disclaimer: I'm only going to say this once and only once, I DO NOT OWN YU YU HAKUSHO!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

After a few minutes of Yusuke and Kuwabara fighting, Avigayil cracked a very small smile. Genkai noticed, and told the nine competitors to follow her. She was leading back to a temple.

Kuwabara stops and is tense, "Hey guys, I still feel that weird presence. It's like a beast or a ghost or something is chasing me."

Avigayil nods her head to Yusuke, "That means Rando is really here."

"Who's Rando?" Kuwabara asks.

"Uh, it's a long story," Yusuke replies, "Do you know if it's coming from one of those men here?"

"It is, but I don't know which one."

When they went inside, Genkai shut the door, leaving the competitors in complete darkness. The elderly woman went to the center of the room and lit a small lamp.

"Before we start, I would like everyone to introduce themselves," Genkai explains.

A man clad in red with a shaved head spoke, "Kazemaru. I'm a skilled ninja."

"Kuroda I'm an expert at throwing knives," this man was wearing khaki pants, long sleeved purple shirt wired rim glasses and slicked hair like Yusuke.

A little monk like man said he was Shorin. A plump man said he was a wanderer named Chinpou. A man in traditional hakama and haori with a patch over his eye said his name was Musashi. And a man with green hair said he was Kibano.

"Kazuma Kuwabara. The worst punk at Saryaski Jr. High."

"Yusuke-"

"And Avigayil-"

"Urameshi. The much much worser punks at Saryaski Jr. High," they spoke in unison.

"Now that we know everyone," Genkai smirked, "Lets get down to business. There's going to be a tournament to determine who gets to be in the semi-finals. A draw defines who's going to fight who. You can use any objects or weapons you want."

"Hold it," Avigayil interrupted, "You expect us to fight in the dark?"

"Yes I do, you little snot. Scared of the dark?"

"Fuck no. But how can you see in there?"

"You don't. You use you spirit awareness. Are we done with question and answer?"

Avigayil nodded.

"Good. You'll only come back here when the fight is over," Genkai lit a cigarette.

At Spirit World, Koenma tuned into his big TV screen in his office. He stopped stamping papers a while ago. Other ogres carrying big stacks of paper stopped and also started to watch the fights.

The first fight was Kazemaru vs. Kuroda.

"I warn you, I'm a professional killer and fight to the death," Kuroda warned.

"Fine with me. If you're scared top die you shouldn't be here," Kazemaru agreed.

"One more thing," Kuroda turned to Genkai, "If I win, won't you deny me your teachings because I'm a killer?"

"I'll teach the winner, no matter whom he is, or what his character or background is," she answered.

Yusuke and Avigayil turned to each other and it written on their faces, that they must win no matter what. If they don't…well they knew what would happen.

The two men walked towards a dark corner. All Yusuke and Avigayil could hear were the noises the fighters made. Kuwabara told them that he sense that the killer is winning.

'I'm losing. I was hoping I could save this for later,' Kazemaru was cornered.

He stuck out his hand. A blue blast was emitted from his hand and hit Kuroda making Kazemaru the winner.
Avigayil and Yusuke were able to see the blast.

'I wonder if it's like my spirit gun?' each twin thought.

"In theory, they're the same," a voice spoke.

The chocolate eyed twins went outside and saw Botan sitting in a tree. Botan was greeted by each twin in their individual way.

"I'm worried," the deity spoke, "It must have taken Kazemaru a long time to learn that. Not to mention all of the hours training to release that energy from his whole hand."

"Hey Urameshi," Kuwabara called walking outside, "The next fight is about to…whoa, hey who's the babe?" Kuwabara came over and put Yusuke and Avigayil in a headlock, "You bastard! You're cheating on Kayko!"

"No. I'm not. Now let go," Yusuke choked.

"Then that means," Kuwabara let go quickly and pointed at Avi, "Avi's a lesbian!"

Avigayil jumped into Yusukes arms, "I'm not a lesbian. How could you even think that!" she shrieked.

Botan jumped down from the tree.

"Hello, I'm Botan. I'm Yusuke and Avigayil's assistant as Spirit Detective," she told Kuwabara summoning and sitting on her oar.

Kuwabara noticed Botan floating a few inched off the ground, "Holy shit. She's flying. What is she?"

"She's the grim reaper. Yusuke and I were forced to be Spirit Detectives. There are things called demons and it is me and Yusuke's job to stop them," Avi explained.

"You said you sensed something strange in one of those men inside. Rando's spirit is certainly hiding in one of them. Our mission is to keep old Genkai's teachings from falling into his hands," Yusuke took over explaining.

Kuwabara wasn't that interested. I mean, he was; he heard every word Yusuke and Avigayil said but, he wanted to confirm Yusuke wasn't cheating on Kayko. Yusuke said Avigayil was going haywire every time some guys name beginning with an H came up because she like him. That was the confirmation about Avi not being a lesbian. Kuwabara totally forgot.

So Kuwabara walked up to Botan. He took her hands in his and bent down on one knee. His brown eyes looked into her violet ones.

"Botan will you marry me? My heart is burning for you," Kuwabara proposed.

"Oh my god. Kuwabara your heart really is burning. There's smoke!" Botan noticed.

"Great effect Kuwabara," Avi laughed.

Kuwabara was trying to get rid of the cigarette that was starting to burn his shirt.

"Hey," Genkai yelled, "Get your little asses inside now! The next fight is about to start. Or would you kids rather be disqualified?"

The four kids were rushing inside with Botan apologizing that it was her fault.

Genkai recognized the girl clad in jeans and pink shirt with a maroon wind breaker.

"I see this tournament even reached Koenmas ears. Never knew I was this famous," Genkai joked to herself.

Next fight Shorin vs. Chinpou. Shorin came back the winner.

"Didn't think I'd make it," Shorin muttered.

"That boy is too modest," Koenma noted, "He had an advantage in two out of the three categories."

Before every fight Koenma looked at the stats of every fighter and compared the stats.

"On to the third match," Genkai spoke, "Kuwabara vs. Musashi."

"Try not to get killed Kuwabara," Avi cried out.

"Don't worry," Kuwabara turned around, "I still have to beat you two."

"Don't you think it's a bit missed matched?" Botan asked.

"Well, he's never been as tough as me and Avi," Yusuke started, "But he does have a lot of determination. I just hope that's enough to win."

"I'll give you one last chance to walk away kid," Musashi warned, "After that I'll consider you an obstacle in my path and I won't hesitate to cut you down."

"I'm not going anywhere old man," Kuwabara retorted, "I may be a kid, but I've been fighting on the streets my whole life. Plus, I've got powers. In fact, I can see right…uhh…wait a minute…at least I saw you before."

Kuwabara was cut off by Musashi kicking him in the face. Kuwabara got right back up, "What happened?"

Musashi smirked and vanished into the darkness.

"It's a trick. Where are you?"

"I know all about your spirit awareness kid. I too have a power. I can mask my own energy."

"So I can't see you."

"And unlike you, I'm used to seeing and fighting in the dark."

Kuwabara turned around just to get punched in the jaw. Kuwabara got back up and charged but Musashi vanished. Kuwabara stopped short. Musashi took the opportunity and kicked Kuwabara.

Everyone back on the lit side of the temple were standing and waiting. All they could hear was the fight.

"Be careful Kuwabara," Botan shouted.

"Stop yelling so much," Yusuke shouted.

"It makes you easy to find," Avi added in.

"Will you guys shut up? I'm trying to concentrate and you're not really helping," Kuwabara shouted back wiping his mouth.

"There isn't any use. In the dark, I can strike you a hundred timed and you won't be able to block."

"Beat me up all you want old man. Your sissy punches don't hurt me at all," Kuwabara spat, "This is shitty jump change compared to all the days the Urameshis rubbed my head into the pavement."

"It's true. We've punched him quite a few times," the twins spoke nonchalantly.

"Then you leave me no choice," Musashi began. He pulled out his boken.

"A big stick?" Kuwabara asked dumbly.

"Now's not the time play retard kid. This wooden sword was carved from an ancient tree and cleansed in a sacred stream. It's a conduit for spirit energy; the perfect weapon for striking down evil."

Musashi jumped in the air and vanished, his sword beginning to glow.

"Hey I'm not evil!" Kuwabara was terrified looking franticly everywhere.

Musashi appeared, "Shibato Shining Sword!"

The sword hit Kuwabara in the back and Musashi was swinging the piece of wood like a mad man. All of the swings landing on Kuwabara.

When Musashi was done, Kuwabara fell down on the ground beat up. His school uniform was torn in a few places. A piece of wood from Musashi's sword fell.

"Huh?" Musashi looked at his sword. The tip was broken off, "He actually broke the sword." Musashi stared back in amazement at the heap lying on the ground known as Kuwabara, "His spirit power must truly be strong."

Musashi started to walk back.

Kuwabara grabbed the broken piece that fell off and started to get up.

Musashi turned around.

"You haven't gotten rid of me yet," Kuwabara stood up.

"What kind of evil creature are you?" Musashi asked, "No one has ever survived my shining sword attack," Musashi began to vanish, "Oh well. I'm confident that you won't live through a second strike."

'I have to find a way to defend myself. Ohhh why couldn't he just crack off a longer piece,' Kuwabara thought.

At that moment, Musashi attacked. Kuwabara defended himself. He stuck his little stub of wood in the way to try and block. Suddenly a yellow orange blast came from the stub of wood Kuwabara was holding. It blocked Musashi's attack.

"What is that?" Musashi asked.

"I don't know."

"What are you?"

"Materialization," Genkai was amazed.

"What the fuck?" Yusuke asked while Avi asked "What the hell's that?"

"Normally, Spirit Energy cycles through the body and is very hard to control," Genkai explained, "But when his life was in danger, he instinctively used his high spirit awareness to manipulate his energy into a solid object. In this case, into a sword."

Musashi's sword began to crack. Kuwabara swung his sword and hit Musashi. Musashi was sent flying backwards.

Kuwabara was breathing heavily, "Pretty cool," he was checking out his new sword, "But how am I suppose to turn it off?"

'I suspected this would happen,' Genkai smirked, 'Guess he just needed that wooded swords focusing power to give him an extra push.'

Kuwabara came out holding his side and limping.

"Winner Kuwabara," Genkai declared.

"I guess Kuwabara won't be so easy to beat from now on huh?" Botan joked.

"Well, at least he's still ugly," Avi joked right back.

"You better not lose before our fight," Kuwabara walked up to Yusuke and Avigayil.

"Please, like we'll miss a chance to beat you up," Yusuke said.

"Let's not waste my time. The fourth match is Kibano vs. the dimwits."

"I think that's you two," Kuwabara chuckled.

"And I thought our names were Yusuke and Avigayil," Yusuke smirked.

Kibano started walking but paused, "May the strongest man or woman win."

Yusuke and Avigayil stood there with their eyes closed.

"What are you waiting for Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked.

"Have you decided not to fight?" Kibano asked.

"Hmm? Oh no," Yusuke started and smirked, "We were just praying for you mortal soul. Right sis?"

"Actually no. You were praying for his mortal soul. I was praying for you to win because I am going to fight the next round if we win."

"Stop clowning around both of you," Botan yelled.

The twins turned around.

"Moron," Genkai threw her cigarette.

"Hey!"

"Any more delay and I'll take it as a forfeit."

Yusuke turned and smiled as did his sister.

"Gees something tells me, you're still mad about that grandma comment Avi made," Yusuke said taking off his jacket.

"You really need to enjoy life more old lady," Avi commented taking Yusuke's jacket.

Yusuke and Kibano walked into the pitch dark.

"Master can they do this?" Shorin asked.

"Yes they are allowed. These two fight together. It wouldn't be fair if they fight two vs. one. The boy is representing them both and I can tell that they have the exact stats," Genkai answered.

"Yup it's dark alright," Yusuke noted, "But at least the other guy's in the same boat."

"You're wrong about that. I can see exactly where you are," Kibano said.

"Give me a break. Your awareness isn't any better than mine or my sisters. Only psychos like Kuwabara can see in the dark," Yusuke fought to prove his point.

He took a step backwards.

"You took a step backwards."

"Fine, good guess."

Kuwabara tried to see as best as he can into the dark. He knew something wasn't right, "Hey watch out for him. He's got some kind of mask on his head," Kuwabara warned.

And indeed Kibano did have something on his head. It was like a helmet made out of metal, covering all of his sensory organs except his mouth.

"My own invention. It blinds my sensory organs. All the brain power normally concentrated on sight, sound and smell is redirected towards a person's spirit. I've even installed a targeting device to direct my senses to a single point. Now let's see…yes. You have a very unusual aura. It's been as of your body has been through great danger. Perfect. That will make you easier to find."

Kibano punched Yusuke.

"See, it's very useful."

Kibano kicked Yusuke in the face. He then tried to punch Yusuke but Yusuke jumped out of the way. Because Yusuke jumped out of the way, Kibano missed and punched the floor creating a small crater.

"Okay I heard that," Yusuke threw a rock at Kibano.

Kibano dodged the rock and went back into the darkness.

"Hey did I hit you?"

"Sorry."

Yusuke turned around and made his way towards Kibanos voice.

"I've got you," he punched Kibano in the face.

"YEAH!" Kuwabara and Avi cheered.

"Don't celebrate just yet," Genkai warned.

Yusuke kicked Kibano in the face.

Kibano chuckled.

"What!"

Kibano kicked Yusuke in the stomach, who was sent hurtling in the air and crashed into a big pillar. He hit his back on the pillar and fell down hitting the hard cold stone floor. Yusuke was trying to get up but he was having some trouble.

"You found me by my voice no doubt. But your hearing will never be accurate enough to give you a decisive blow."

"This asshole's not playing fair," Kuwabara argued, "That helmet is protecting his head from attacks."

"Even the best armor should have a weak point. But I'm scared that Yusuke is going to have a tough time finding it," Botan fretted, "He can't even see his own hand in front of his face. How are you going to get out of this one?"

Avi just stood there keeping her mouth shut. She didn't want to express herself. She was worried for her brothers safety but knew that he could take care of himself. So with showing no emotion on her face she stood there with her arms crossed.

Yusuke was breathing heavily.

"Here's another technique," Kibano started to raise his power. Green energy started to form around his right arm.

"Uh-oh. Something weird is happening to Kibano's muscles," Kuwabara let Botan and Avigayil know.

"WHAT?"

"It's a basic enhancement technique," Genkai explained, "He's pulling in energy from the matter around him. It gives a quick boost of strength."

"Damn it where is he?" Yusuke grumbled.

"I'm right here," Kibano came into view, "Big Arm Bomber!"

Kibano charged with his right arm. Yusuke was caught by the neck by Kibanos bicep. Kibano continued to run while dragging Yusuke along for the ride.

The other competitors including Botan and Genkai were shocked. Avigayil's eyes grew big and she uncrossed her arms.

Kibano stopped but Yusuke continued to fly. He was hitting the ground as he was stopping. Yusuke was lying on the ground in pain. Kibano loomed over him. Yusuke tried to get up but he fell right back down.

Ok I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know I ended it badly but who cares. You guys can complain if you want. I appreciete everyone's reviews. Keep them up. Next up Yusuke finishes his fight and we see what Avi can do.
