Chu and Yuiko stood in the ring, waiting for Koto to give them the signal to start.
"Hey, cutie, why don't you forfeit? Don't want you to break a nail," Chu said as the glazed look to his eye disappeared somewhat.
Yuiko glared at him.
"Okay, rule number one: never call me cutie or anything close to that. Rule number two: don't ever say anything about worrying that I'll break a nail. I don't give a crap about that shit. Now, why don't we start this thing?" Yuiko snapped.
"No complaints there," Chu said.
"Begin!" Koto announced.
Chu swayed back and forth, stepping here, stepping there, and sped up his pace. Yuiko could barely keep up with his speed before he attacked. She blocked his first blow, but she couldn't dodge the second one, or the four that came after it. They sent her flying into the air and Chu followed her up there and punched her back down. She hit the arena floor with a sickening crack.
"Yui!" Kuwabara cried.
"That's incredible," Kurama said, terror evident in his eyes.
Hiei grunted; Kurama cared about her too much. Chu could kill the girl for all Hiei cared.
"It is impressive," Hiei said as he looked on. A pang in his chest thumped against his ribcage. He winced and ignored it.
Yuiko stood back up, acting as though she hadn't just been used as a punching bag, and threw a barrage of punches at Chu. He dodged every single punch, still using the odd, almost drunk-like walking.
"Stop moving, damn it!" Yuiko shouted.
Chu dodged once again and threw a punch. Yuiko dodged it and threw another punch. He dodged it again and came behind her. He punched again, but she was able to block it. She wasn't so lucky with the second one, or the ones that followed. She stumbled back and charged at him, punching continuously.
"Hey! Maybe you should try something else, Yui!" Kuwabara shouted from the sidelines.
"I know what I'm doing, Kuwabara!" Yuiko retorted; she landed a punch square in Chu's jaw.
Chu hit the ground with a sickening thud, then somehow disappeared and ended up behind her. He kicked her across the arena, the grass, and into the wall. Chu fell over, his face a deep red as though he was drunk. He motioned Koto to come closer to him. He took the microphone away from her.
"I need another drink!" He yelled into the microphone and proceeded to glomp Koto.
As Koto began the count, Kuwabara and Kurama started to worry.
"I hope she gets up," Kuwabara said.
"Me too." Kurama agreed.
"I really don't want to fight Chu as a tie-breaker," Kuwabara admitted.
"If she gets up like a real fighter, you won't have to. And even if she doesn't, I'll fight him for you," Hiei said. "Besides, who would let a weakling like you decide the outcome of all the matches?"
"Hey!" Kuwabara said.
"Nine!" Koto said, about to say ten, but Yuiko blasted herself from the rubble and landed in the ring.
"That could've ended badly," Yuiko said, smirking.
"ATTA GIRL!" screamed a familiar voice.
Yuiko froze. She turned around. No way. It couldn't be . . . .
Atsuko stood in the stands, practically climbing on top of Keiko and cheering her on. Shizuru sat next to Keiko and Botan next to Shizuru. Keiko pushed Atsuko off of her and stood up too.
"COME ON! RIP HIM A NEW ONE!" Keiko shouted.
Yuiko turned back around, blushing a bit.
"Do they have to be so embarrassing?" she asked.
Chu raised an eyebrow.
"Are they your family?" Chu asked.
"Why do you care?" she asked.
"Just wanted to know. Demons don't really have mothers, you know. Are those other three your sisters?"
"Nah, one's Kuwabara's sister, Botan helps me with Spirit World stuff, and Keiko's my friend. The one who won't stop screaming is my mother."
"BEAT HIM TO A PULP!" Atsuko yelled.
"SHUT UP, MOTHER!" Yuiko retaliated.
Chu burst out laughing. Yuiko raised an eyebrow at him.
"How 'bout we give them a better show to watch? There's this technique I think everybody wants to see." Chu said.
Yuiko got into a ready stance. She just hoped it would be too much for her.
