SailorStar9: Sorry for the long wait people. My bro's on the com for the last two weeks. Anyway, this is Chapter 53. Read and review.
Disclaimers: YYH, Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon aren't mine.
Chapter Summary: As the main bouts of the Demon World tournament get underway, some of the best and most familiar fighters are removed rather quickly. While it looks like some of the fighters' motivations for entering aren't exactly what they seemed, they all have their eyes on one warrior as the prize--Yusuke.
Chapter 53: The Demon World Tournament Begins
"Wow, I've never felt this excited for so a long time." Yusuke remarked as he was warming up.
Then, his fight begun.
Without wasting time, Yusuke let loose a torrent of punches that sent the opponents flying out of the arena.
"Wow, that's far." Icy joked. "Chuu's probably shocked when he realized he should had used that method."
"Haha." Kurama replied dryly.
"Hey ref, they've all flown out pretty far, now what?" Yusuke shouted.
"Ah… if you leave the arena, that means you've given up. And that means the winner of Group 106 is Urameshi!" the referee announced.
He still have this trick up his sleeve?" Chuu asked incredulously.
"Did you see that son? That boy knows how to enjoy himself while fighting. I'll rather you fight him than me." Yomi commented to Shura.
"Right, before the semi-finals begin, let's welcome Urameshi to give us a speech." the emcee announced.
"Just hope Yusuke doesn't have stage fright." Icy joked.
"Blue, you're staying off sugar from now on." Kurama muttered.
"Oh right. I understand that everyone here is determined to win this tournament, but I have no wish to see anyone get killed because of that. I sincerely hope that everyone here will come back again, I know I do too. Of course this would be decided by the winner of this tournament." Yusuke spoke.
"Daddy." Shura begun.
"Yes, in the next tournament, you're one of the main characters." Yomi reassured.
"Looks like fighting in D group isn't going to be easy." Touya remarked upon seeing the group schedule.
"Chuu sure does have bad luck, being so near to Hiei and Mukuro." Suzuki nodded.
"Man, looks like it'd be pretty hard to get to Yusuke." Jin noted.
"Touya's draw is lucky." he added.
"It's hard to say. There might be tough opponents in there." Touya disagreed.
And so the semi-finals begun.
She's good. Chuu thought mentally.
Before he could do anything, Natsume had disappeared from sight.
Appearing before him, Natsume blasted Chuu off with a Ki blast from her palm.
"Chuu!" Rinku shouted, worried about his friend.
"Darn it!" Chuu cursed.
Looking up, he noticed that Natsume was gone yet again.
Then, he felt a presence behind him.
Natsume's palm was poised at the back of his neck.
The difference is too far. Chuu realized.
"Shall we continue?" Natsume asked.
"No… I admit defeat." Chuu replied.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Natsume. Didn't you see the schedule?" she asked.
"Natsume…" Chuu smile.
"When can we meet again?" he asked.
Natsume blinked for a while and answered, "My last attack shouldn't be too hard."
"I know what I'm talking about. I'm serious about you!" Chuu protested.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men whom lost to me." Natsume replied, walking off.
"Give me two years, no one year, I'll prove that I'll defeat you!" Chuu begged.
Touya sweatdropped.
"That idiot!" Rinku scolded.
"Man, this is embarrassing." Suzuki remarked.
"Looks like Chuu got bitten by the love bug." Icy quipped, upon seeing the battle.
"This is totally embarrassing." Kurama shook his head. "Whatever happened to man's pride?"
In the 13th battle in Group B, Kurama and Icy met up with Yusuke.
"Yusuke" Kurama begun.
"Don't belittle your opponents, being able to get into the semi-finals isn't easy." Kurama advised.
"You don't have to worry about me, Kurama. Your opponents aren't as easy to defeat as mine." Yusuke waved it aside.
"Hey Frostbite, why aren't you in this tournament?" Yusuke asked his former partner.
"Nah, I'll leave all this fighting to you guys." Icy replied.
Later, Yusuke managed to get through to the finals.
After Chuu's defeat, Rinku lost his battle too.
"Chuu lost because his opponent was too beautiful. Then, what about Rinku?" Yusuke asked.
"Got bitten by the love bug. In some places, he's more ridiculous than Chuu." Touya answered.
