The Best of the Best: the prelims
2. Kagura vs. Grimmjow
(in the crowd)
Nnoitra: Lucky Grimmjow… He gets to fight the cutest girls…
Szayel: I hope he leaves something for me. I'd like to try an experiment or two on this strange woman.
Kohaku: …… Muso… where is Goshinki?
Muso: Outside. The door guards said that pets weren't allowed in.
Halibel: ! (slaps Muso) Put some clothes on, you freak! You're worse than Nnoitra!
Muso: (looks around, drags off a random fanboy of Kagura's, then comes back dressed in the boy's clothing)
Kanna: Muso… Why do I associate with such morons? Good luck out there, little sister.
(in the ring)
Announcer: And, for our second match, here are Grimmjow and Kagura!
(Grimmjow jumps into the ring, and Kagura floats down from her feather)
Grimmjow: Wind user, huh? This'll be fun…
Kagura: I look forward to having your head as a trophy, Grimmjow.
Grimmjow: Hah! You couldn't take the head off of a Gillian! You'll never beat an Espada!
Kagura: We'll see soon enough. (pulls out fan as Grimmjow draws zanpakutou)
Grimmjow: What the ----? A fan? You're gonna fight my zanpakutou with a ---- fan?!
Kagura: (smiles, then sends blades of wind crashing into Grimmjow) Wind Blade's Dance!
Grimmjow: What the—ow! Curse you, -----! (blocks a few with his zanpakutou)
(sidelines)
Ulquiorra: hmmm… interesting…
Inuyasha: Heh, Kagura's wind blades can cut through armor like a knife cuts paper!
Ulquiorra: apparently so. Still, Grimmjow has hierro that rivals my own. It won't break so easily.
Sasuke: Hey, where's Itachi? Shouldn't he be back here by now?
Aoshi: He's over there in the medical center. Megumi and a girl from your world, Sakura, I think, are trying to nullify the miasma.
Sesshomaru: As for Naraku, he's over there. (gestures to a floating bubble in which Naraku is regenerating the damage done by Itachi's fireball jutsu)
Kenshin: (sees Naraku's body reforming itself out of thin air) Oo Oro-o-o-o……
Miroku: this guy can't really be very tough at all… what's he doing in the tournament?
(in the ring)
Kagura: Dance of the Dragon! (twisters of wind impale one of Grimmjow's arms)
Grimmjow: Hey! I just got that arm back! I'm not losing it now! Growl, Pantera! (releases zanpakutou)
Kagura: wha--? He transforms, just like Inuyasha! Better keep my distance… (uses feather, soars up into the air)
Grimmjow: Come down, little bird! The cat wants to play with you!
(on the sidelines, Ulquiorra resists the urge to smack himself in the forehead)
Grimmjow: Cero! (shoots Kagura with a cero blast)
Kagura: (couldn't dodge in time, got hit and tumbles back to ground) aaahh…
Grimmjow: Goodbye, wench. (stabs her with his zanpakutou) wha--?
Kagura: (smirking, but with a pained expression) you won't kill me like that, Grimmjow… Naraku holds my heart, so if he's got it, you can't stab it! The "bird" lives to fight another day, foolish kitten.
Grimmjow: Well, if I can't stab you, I'll just do this! (lops off her head)
Announcer: Oo Well, since Kagura can no longer fight, Grimmjow is victorious! Now, can someone revive her so the fanboys don't slaughter me? Please?
Ulquiorra: (to Orihime, who's in the medical section) that would be your cue, onna.
Orihime: y-yes sir… (uses healing power to revive Kagura)
END
A/N: well, that's over with. Sorry if it was too short. Kagura was just too weak, in comparison to Grimmjow, at least. She had no chance. My apologies if I offend someone. Next match is Ulquiorra vs. Sango! Can't wait to get started…
