Wildfire

Yusuke looked down at his injured friend and then out onto the ring. Already their next challenger was waiting. His red skin glistened in the sunlight while the wind brushed through his golden red hair and over the black fire rat robes he wore. The demon yawned then rubbed his eyes as he waited. At this Yusuke smirked. It looked like he was going to have fun with this one.

Cracking his knuckles, he leapt into the ring. He nodded to show the judge that he was ready. This fight would be over in just three punches. The fire demon merely blinked upon seeing the confidence in his opponent before acknowledging that he was ready as well.

"Alright then, let the fight between Yusuke and Suzakai begin!"

Before the words had even finished leaving her mouth, the red demon vanished. The detective could only stand there blinking until he realized that the one he was looking for was standing directly behind him. By then it was too late. Fire surrounded his body before suddenly blasting against his skin. When he finally opened his eyes, he found that blades of fire were already headed his direction.

Swearing under his breath, Yusuke dodged the attack. What had happened to the lazy being he had just seen seconds before? Plus, was there no end to these attacks? Even a moment's hesitation would end up killing him.

Suzakai watched how a majority of his blades were escaped. The young man was faster than he appeared to be. Noting this he summoned a ball of dark flames into his hand. Clutching it in his fist, he waited until it had completely crumbled before turning his crimson eyes to face his opponent. Slowly he thrust the fist forward then opened his fingers.

Hundreds of bullets created from this fire spewed forth to smash into Yusuke's body. A silent scream passed through his lips while the flesh slowly burned. When the attack was finally over, he fell to his knees. Chikiu watched this carefully as she began to count down. But before she could reach five, the detective rose back to his feet. Anger glowed in his brown eyes now as blue spirit energy danced over his body.

The demon watched this with interest. 'All of my other opponents have been unable to rise after all of that. Perhaps there is more to this Yusuke Urameshi than meets the eye.'

"Okay now you've gone and pissed me off. You're going to pay for that mistake," the tentai cried, "Rei Gun!"

A blue light suddenly erupted from his index finger. Only a moment later it slammed into Suzakai chest sending him flying into the air. As he was landing he began throwing a series of flames balls towards the dark head. Then while his opponent was distracted with dodging these he gathered all of his energy into his right arm. When Yusuke was finally done moving he pointed his glowing limb towards the sky.

"Dragon of the Mortal Flame!" he yelled as he watched a stream of fire fall from the sky. The second it touched his hand he began to absorb its tremendous power. With this completed he pointed his arm towards the tentai. "Dragon's Fire!"

Yusuke watched the fire become bigger and bigger. Then, just feet away, he saw it. There staring back at him was the head of a vicious dragon.


A woman with dark russet hair slowly made her way outside to watch the fight. Sitting on the railing just a few feet away was a young girl with an elfish appearance. Her blue eyes were studying the fight intently and didn't notice the Oreades appear at her side. The Greek woman carefully leaned close to the exposed ear.

"I didn't think a little child would enjoy watching such battles. After all, Wu, your appearance suggests that you still love the toddler fashions," she whispered as she indicated the fairy style outfit.

Wu turned to glare at her. "Listen Voleta, I'm not a child. Just because you're an old hag hiding inside a young body doesn't make me inferior."

"How delightful. The chibi learned how to insult!" Voleta cooed.

"That's enough you two," a voice warned behind them.

With a smile, the mystical woman turned to face the Tenshi youkai. His salt and pepper wings were currently folded behind his back causing his royal blood to shine through. Staring at them with cold eyes he walked out onto the balcony. After studying the fight below for a moment he turned to face the other two. In doing so, the black yukata caught the wind. It opened in the front for a moment revealing a well sculptured chest. Voleta found herself unable to stop staring.

Using careful precision, she knocked one side of her tunic shirt off her shoulder to reveal part of the leather bra she wore. Then she walked over to him making sure to sway her hips more than usual.

"Ouji-sama, let me take you inside where it's warmer."

The prince smirked before taking her waist. "I would love to."

Wu simply rolled her eyes and returned her attention to the ring below.


Suzakai panted while he waited for the smoke to fade away. No one could have survived that kind of heat. Plus the flames had been infused with his spirit energy. In fact he knew that Yusuke Urameshi did not possess any powers to put an end to his monster. And so, breathing heavily he waited.

That was the last thing he saw before an enormous blue light smashed into his body. In complete silence, the spectators watched as his body soared through the air before smashing into the stadium seats. Shocked the judge cleared her throat then raised her arm. The count down was completed and her hand moved to point towards Yusuke's glowing body.

"And Team Urameshi gains another victory! Let the next round begin!"
