I come home home mid Augast. I have the next chapter all written up and also about a quarter of the first chapter of the next story. In which Hiei and Kurama will be there.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Please dont kill me:

Everyone was staring at Kazemaru.

"Since he doesn't seem to be moving you'll just have to fight around him," Genkai decided, "Come on you two. Let's close up the semi-finals."

Kuwabara and Shorin were having a staring contest.

Kuwabara smiled a cheesy smile, 'An easy win.'

"It's ironic that out of all the fighters Shorin was last on my list as a suspect," Botan spoke.

"Mine too," Avi agreed.

"Yeah, if you're gonna disguise yourself," Yusuke said looking at the fight, "Why not look cooler?"

"The answer's simple Yusuke," Koenma answered to the TV, "Not everyone, believe it, or not, is interested in how groovy they look. Rando hunts in stealth. He's not concerned with dame or recognition only with increasing his powers. After stealing the techniques of 99 psychics no one has ever seen Rando's true face. At least, no one who lived long enough to brag. Yusuke and Avi should be happy Rando hasn't revealed his true self. Maybe now he won't have to remove everyone's throat."

"If Shorin is in fact Rando, I'm afraid Kuwabara is out of his league," Botan fretted.

"Hey Kuwabara!" Yusuke called.

"Wait up!" Avi yelled.

"Don't try to give me your coaching advice Urameshis," Kuwabara said.

Avigayil and Yusuke ran up to him.

"Listen you gotta pull out of this fight," Yusuke mumbled into Kuwabara's ear, "You remember that demon I was talking about?"

"Well we think Shorin is him dressed up," Avi mumbled into Kuwabara's other ear after pulling him down to her height.

"I don't care who he is!" Kuwabara grabbed Avi's collar of her shirt, "First of all I'm gonna beat this guy," Kuwabara pointed to Yusuke's nose, "And then I'm gonna grind both of you into the dirt! So don't try to get out of it by making me scared. And second, you, Avi, beat that last guy by luck!"

"So, what's that have to do with this fight?" Avi asked.

"I'm not exactly sure! But I'm gonna fight this guy monster or not!"

"What's the point, you know we'd beat you next anyway," Yusuke retorted.

"Oh yeah? Well that'd be true if it was opposite day! Stupid!"

"Hey would you boys and Avi please behave. This isn't Jr. High," Botan interjected.

"Shut up," all three yelled.

"Please sir, may we start?" Shorin asked.

"Yeah," Kuwabara said.

"Begin!" Genkai yelled.

The two fighters got ready.

"I'll take you down in one hit," Kuwabara charged towards Shorin.

Shorin also charged. Kuwabara punched the young monk, who hit the ground and slid back.

The twins were in disbelief, "What the…?"

Shorin got up and touched his cheek where he was hit, "I see this fighter will take more strength than I thought."

"Gee buddy, are you all right?" Kuwabara asked concerned, "That was just a warm-up shot."

"You needn't worry about my health sir," Shorin got up and started running towards Kuwabara.

Shorin started punching and kicking Kuwabara who was dodging every one of the monks moves. Eventually Kuwabara hit the monk in the head. Shorin fell head first to the ground.

Kuwabara chuckled, "Our difference in strength is pretty big, huh?"

The twins and Botan were speechless. Genkai was glaring at the fighters.

As Shorin was on the ground rubbing his head, Yusuke asked Botan a question.

"So…what are the chances of a demon being a total wuss?"

Botan, Avi and Yusuke were looking at Shorin.

"Maybe Rando's been hiding here somewhere but not as a fighter," Avi suggested.

"Yeah," Botan wanted to hear what the girl had to say.

"Or maybe he was one of the fighters and he already got beat."

"What is that all we're gonna fight?" Kuwabara taunted.

Shorin got up, "No, let me try a few techniques first," Shorin spread his legs apart. His hands were then moving like he was peeing into a crystal ball. Some crackling of Spirit Energy was formed. Soon after, Shorin got into a position. His hands looked like he was about to karate chop something. Soon pink, orange, yellow and red Spirit Energy was behind Shorin. It wasn't enough though.

"The structure of Shorin's Spirit Energy is changing," Botan noticed.

Yusuke and Avigayil raised an eyebrow.

Shorin did the crystal ball thing again. More energy came. Shorin was ready and his Spirit Energy was visible.

Kuwabara noticed something. Yusuke and Avigayil moved closer, curious of what was going to happen.

Shorin's Spirit Energy wove its way around his arm and into his hand. A red fire like ball was sitting there in his palm. Shorin started chuckling as the same thing happened with his other hand.

"What is that?" Kuwabara asked.

"It couldn't be," Genkai realized.

Shorin jumped into the air, "Circles of Inferno!" Shorin threw a fire ball at Kuwabara.

Kuwabara dodged it, but barely. Shorin threw another one, this time, hitting Kuwabara. Kuwabara was patting himself as Shorin landed.

"You're okay Kuwabara. Stop giving yourself a pat down and get ready for his next attack," Yusuke yelled.

"Would you shut up?"

Shorin got a new fire ball in his hand.

"Fine. If you want to use your fire works then I'll use mine," Kuwabara used the broken piece of the wooden sword and his Spirit Sword cam. Kuwabara got into a batting position, "All right you little shrimp-baby batter's up!"

"And here's the wind up and the pitch," Avi imitated an announcer at a baseball game.

Shorin threw the fire ball at Kuwabara who hit the ball with his sword. The ball hit Shorin right in the stomach causing him to fly through the air and land on his stomach.

"Whoa, I guess that's a homerun," Yusuke was amazed.

"Ahem," Avi cleared her throat.

"Oh, sorry."

"And Kazuma Kuwabara hit a homerun. Now tell me Yusuke, I know it's illegal when the pitcher hits the batter, the batter gets to walk. But is the batter allowed to hit the pitcher?"

Yusuke smirked at Avi and played along, "I have no idea Avi. But let's get back to watching the game. We'll get back to the viewers with the answer later." (A/N: Anyone know the answer? If you do tell it to me in the review)

Shorin was on the ground clutching his burnt stomach.

"Those pitches were pretty nasty, but nothin' compared to the old batting cages back home," Kuwabara chuckled.

Shorin glared at Kuwabara.

"Kuwabara's like a whole new fighter when he starts using that Spirit Sword of his," Avi commented back in serious mode.

"I think he can beat this little punk, Rando or no Rando. Eh?" Yusuke replied.

"Anything's possible…I suppose," Botan agreed.

"Very surprising. Twice now you've managed to evade my attack and make it your own offensive," Shorin said.

"Don't make it sound so high-tech. I'm just trying to cream you."

"This requires a new approach," Shorin started chanting.

"What in the hell are you muttering about over there? You might as well speak up."

Shorin's hands were now together with his two index fingers the only ones out of his clasped hands.

"Yes, I though I recognized where that fireball attack was from," Genkai started. The deity and black haired kids turned her way listening, "Ages ago, two renowned masters spent the last half of their lives perfecting the Circles of Inferno and this chant."

"What's this do?" Yusuke asked.

"That isn't the point. What matters is that the only ones who could have taught this boy have been dead for centuries."

"Old lady, you just proved something for me once and for all," Avi said, "That chanter's defiantly no boy."

Shorin continued chanting faster and faster. His eyes started to turn red with hate and rage.

"I'm shutting you up boy. You're freakin' me out," Kuwabara charged.

"Reduction!" Shorin yelled and he suddenly grew like a giant. Or according to Kuwabara, Shorin grew like a giant. Shorin started to walk forward attempting to crush Kuwabara with his foot. The second time Shorin did that, Kuwabara rolled on the ground to get away.

"Hey, hey how did that kid get so big? Hey the grass got big too!" Kuwabara looked around him.

All the grass blades and weed looked like trees to him.

"Wait a minute," Kuwabara heard a noise and turned around. There was a caterpillar, "That's a…a caterpillar. Oh, I've turned into an insect."

Shorin's hand came down and grabbed Kuwabara.

"What the hell!" The twins asked in unison.

Botan was frightened.

Shorin brought Kuwabara up to eye level," Don't be worried, you're still a human. Just a very small and fragile one."

Kuwabara was scared on the inside. He had no idea what to do. Soon Shorin started to squeeze Kuwabara.

"So…does this hurt?" Shorin started to squeeze a little tighter.

"There's no way he can pull outta this," Avi told Yusuke.

Yusuke heard the worry in her voice. True, Kuwabara was his and Avi's rival, but he did want to see Avi worry. After all Kuwabara was there friend…sort of.

"Kuwabara! Tell him you're backing out of the fight," Yusuke yelled.

"Oh, but that just cannot be allowed," Shorin answered his eyes gleaming with torture, "I have to make this of this power a little first."

Shorin squeezed tighter. Now with two fingers Shorin held Kuwabara by the head. His hand was clenching and unclenching Kuwabara's body. Kuwabara was screaming. Shorin threw Kuwabara up in the air and caught him with one hand.

"I'm curious about the strength of bones after they've shrunk. I'll start with the right arm."

Shorin grabbed Kuwabara's right arm and Kuwabara's sleeve was torn off. He then grabbed Kuwabara's exposed arm between his fingers.

"Kuwabara!" the twins shouted simultaneously.

Shorin's thumb was adding pressure onto Kuwabara's elbow. Kuwabara was screaming in agony. Shorin just smiled and that gleam of torture never left his brown eyes. Shorin continued to twist Kuwabara's arm.

Yusuke continued looking. Beads of sweat were dripping down Kuwabara's face.

"Please! No more!" he pleaded. But started screaming as Shorin continued to twist his arm and break his bone.

Finally, with one snap, his arm was broken.

Tears were sent to Kuwabara's eyes and yells, shouts and cries of pain came from his mouth.

Rage had built inside Yusuke,a sickening feeling in Avigayil, worry in Botan and Genkai just continued watching the fight.

As Kuwabara's screams died down Shorin was still clutching Kuwabara. He was laughing; enjoying seeing the pain and suffering in his prey. Like a snake watching his prey suffocating.

"Well that was a fun experiment. Now, let's see about the rib cage, shall we?" Shorin asked and started to squeeze Kuwabara with both hands.

Yusuke looked down at his sister who was in his arms. She looked petrified.

"I can't stand this old lady! I'm going in there!" Yusuke told Genkai.

"No, I'll call the fight. That's enough, Shorin!" Genkai yelled.

Shorin was chuckling, "All right," he whined.

He squeezed a few more times breaking some of Kuwabara's ribs. Kuwabara screamed in pain.

"You bastard," Avi yelled. She turned around after Genkai said she'll call off the fight.

"This punk's not gonna listen to you anymore, old lady," Yusuke ran towards Shorin with Avigayil following.

Shorin turned around and threw Kuwabara into the grass.

"Kuwa…bara," Avi muttered.

Botan was horrified.

The three of them ran towards the area he landed.

Shorin was laughing, "You wanted me to let him go right? And now…"

"Kuwabara!" Yusuke yelled. He couldn't find him anywhere.

"Just say something, anything, please!" Avi begged.

"I can't sense him," Botan searched with them.

Shorin started chanting again, "Restore."

Suddenly Kuwabara transformed back into his original size.

"Oh my god…," Avigayil was horrified.

"Holy shit…," Yusuke was just as horrified.

"Kuwabara," the twins cried out and ran towards him.

"His body…"

"Is twisted…" Yusuke finished his sisters' sentence.

"Both arms are in pieces," Botan informed, "His ribs too. I don't know if these wounds will heal," Botan said sadly.

"I won't die, even if all the bones in my body are broke," Kuwabara muttered. He was barely conscious, "Remember Urameshi? We still must fight each other…" Kuwabara then lost consciousness.

"Yeah buddy…that's right," Yusuke sadly said.

He put his hand on Kuwabara's cheek patting it. Yusuke then let Avi have her turn.

Avi went down on her knees and whispered to him, "Please don't die on me. I don't want to lose another brother. We'll beat him for you. I swear it," she then kissed his brow.

She stood up with her hands clenched in fists. She glared at Yusuke who glared at her.

They both heard Shorin walk over and they glared at him.

"I cannot tell you how long I've wanted to use that technique on someone, but it takes so much time to complete the chant. It's very bothersome. The move is so complex; imagine concentrating on that while fighting 15 people. What with the word order, the intonation," Shorin said. He acknowledged Genkai, "But with your Spirit Wave technique you could destroy a hundred people with one simple motion of energy. That is right, isn't it, master?"

"Yes, if it's misused," Genkai glared.

"Of course I wouldn't ever use it that way, but it's great to know the potential."

"Not so fast you freak!" Avi interrupted, "You have to beat us first."

"Shall I be fighting you both together or separately?"

"Together," they answered in unison, "And incase you didn't know. We happen to be Spirit Detectives!"

"Let the final match begin. Shorin vs. the dimwits!" Genkai declared.

"Their power charts are well matched," Koenma noted on his TV screen, "You better win you two!"

Everyone was staring at the three fighters but the twins were having a staring contest against Shorin.

Soon both twins' Spirit Energy started to rise.

"Well, I see your Spirit Energy recovered nicely on this hill," Shorin spoke to Yusuke, "And you have just as much," he spoke to Avi.

"No shit. Twins have same everything," Avigayil spat.

The wind was blowing and the air was tense. Everyone was waiting for this match to begin.

"Ready?" Shorin asked.

Yusuke and Avigayil's Spirit Energy grew even higher. With the rage that filled within them.

Shorin's Spirit Energy also grew.

Both twins started running. Avigayil fell back so Yusuke can have the first hit.

"The first one is for Kuwabara," Yusuke punched Shorin in the jaw.

But what surprised Shorin the most, was that Yusuke's hand was enveloped in Spirit Energy. The "Spirit Punch" sent Shorin sliding all the way back, "And I've still got 49 and a half more. Half for me and half for my sister. And one combined punch from me and her. One for every single life you stole."

Shorin got up and wiped his mouth.

"My knees!" Shorin's knees were locked.

All of a sudden Avigayil jumped over Yusuke using his shoulders as her leverage. (A/N: Like leap frog)

She ran and punched Shorin right in the gut with some of her Spirit Energy. Yusuke then punched Shorin in the mouth. This sent the young monk tumbling backwards.

"His Spirit Power scored a 155 and hers a 150. But it must have increased to over 200 to make that kind of impact," Shorin wiped his chin.

"You better stand…," Avi threatened, "We'll feel bad hitting you if you're glued to the ground."

Shorin got up and went into a pose. It was Avi's turn to punch so she ran forward.

"Sickle and Tornado!" Shorin cried and he jumped into the air.

Green energy started to come from him.

Avi stopped in her tracks, "What the…?"

"What the fuck is this?" Yusuke summed up.

Shorin was in the air his arm spread apart.

"I see," Genkai understood.

Botan turned to Genkai's way, interested in what she had to say.

"Of all my techniques, I enjoy this the most," Shorin said. The rays of the sun started to come towards his feet and hands.

"Congratulations," Yusuke gave a sarcastic remark.

"Like I really give a fuck," Avi gave her remark.

"I once knew of a fighter who made quite a name for himself with this attack. It creates a vacuum around the opponent, and causes air to escape violently from their body through cuts in the skin," Genkai said.

"And with as many battle wounds as you have Avigayil and Yusuke it should be very painful," Shorin sneered.

Suddenly four rainbow colored wheels came rushing towards the twins. Yusuke and Avigayil charged forward ready to take on the attack. The wheels latched on to Yusuke and Avi's shoulders. The wheels were still turning and it made the twins stop in their tracks. The force of the wheels was too much and it sent them on their backs. The wheels disappeared soon after in a tornado.

"Ouch," Yusuke said sarcastically as he sat up.

"I've never felt such pain before," Avi sat up, "And yet, it fells good."

"Now that's surprising," Shorin said, "Most would pass out from the pain, shall we try it again!"

Shorin created four more wheels and threw them.

Yusuke and Avigayil continued running towards the wheels.

"It appears your friends are fools," Genkai criticzed.

"No. just mad," Botan shot back.

"I dare you!" Shorin dared.

"Ready to cannonball Avi?"

"You bet bro."

Yusuke stopped turned around. Avi jumped on Yusuke who threw her up in the air like a cannonball.

Avi was sent in the air protecting herself, making her way through all of the wheels. Each one was cutting and causing pain to each one of her scratches but she didn't care. She was screaming in pain though.

"I don't know where she got the will to endure that kind of pain, but she's making it into the eye of the tornado!" Genkai was amazed.

As Avigayil got closer and closer she readied herself. When she got near Shorin, her hands crossed over and were choking Shorin. Because of gravity and acceleration, Avi and Shorin were falling fast. Avigayil kept choking Shorin even when she landed. She had such rage in her eyes. Yusuke didn't even recognize her that well.

"Uh…hold the phone, people. I think I'm delusional," Koenma said, "Did Yusuke and Avigayil just win?"

Avigayil was breathing heavily as Yusuke walked over.

"I got him," she said proudly.

Shorin was unconscious and had a lot of cuts and bruises everywhere.

"And he wasn't joking about the pain," she added.

"Sorry I made you go through that," her brother apologized.

"Forget about it," she brushed off the apology.

"You got him good Avi! He'll probably be out for a week," Botan praised.

"Well that's what happens when you piss me or Avi off," Yusuke answered.

"It's a shame Kuwabara couldn't be here to see it."

"Hey, I'm not dead yet, I've still got to kick Urameshis…" Kuwabara fell back into consciousness.

Avigayil and Yusuke tried walking.

"Hey you two, maybe you shouldn't try walking for a while," Botan suggested.

"Nah. I'm fine. She's fine. We're both fine. Right Av?" Yusuke asked.

Avigayil held a thumb up sign.

Both teens walked towards Genkai proudly.

"Well? How'd you like that grandma?" Avi asked Genkai.

"You shouldn't have wasted your energy walking here," Genkai said, "Your fight isn't over yet."

"Are you fucking blind old lady!" Avi yelled, "Did you not just see me take that guy out!"

"Did you actually think Rando could be defeated so easily?" Genkai shot back.

"What?"

Dark chuckling was heard, "Yes. Mr. and Miss Urameshi, you should listen to the old hag. They tend to know things. For example, that I am a demon who will not be destroyed. Most likely, she also knows that I must kill you all, as you are about to see my true form. The only real mystery is this: How will I choose to torture you?"

Avi and Yusuke's facial expressions began to grow wary. Their eyes grew with fear and worry.

Shorin's body began to be ripped and torn apart as Rando began to come out.

The ground began to shake as the earth split. The earth parted and the twins' eyes grew with anticipation.

As Rando's true spirit rose from the ground, their eyes widened.

"What is that thing?" Avi asked.

"I'm the one you've been looking for, Rando."

'I can feel his power from here. That's not a good sign,' the twins thought.

As Avi looked at Rando, she took in his features: Red long hair, pale white skin, with purple markings on his torso and gold eyes.

The only thing she could think about was how the hell she and Yusuke were going to kill this demon…

So like I requested: Please dont kill me!

Now if you have any questions feel free to ask in your review. And i'm really truly very sorry.

Next chapter will be up around mid june hopefully. The next Story wont be up until maybe august/september.
