The best of the best: prelims
6. Sasuke vs. Hiei
(in the ring)
Announcer: (in a much better mood after having a double cappuccino) Ok, let's rumble! Hiei, Sasuke, get in the arena!
Hiei: Hn. (enters the arena with Sasuke) You're going down, human.
Sasuke: Heh. I'm not exactly a true human anymore, midget.
Hiei: … (glares at Sasuke) I guess words won't get us anywhere. Let your words get to me through your fists.
Sasuke: Just don't go crying to mommy when you lose.
Hiei: Same goes for you, brat.
(Sasuke pulls out a kunai and throws it at Hiei, who dodges easily)
Hiei: You're gonna need to be faster to catch me with a trick like that.
Sasuke: Heh. So he hasn't noticed yet… no need to tell him… this won't last long… (flings four more kunai at Hiei, who dodges easily yet again)
Hiei: he's up to something…
Sasuke: now for the last one… (jabs a kunai into the center of the arena)
Hiei: eh? What did you do?
Sasuke: take a good look at the shape formed by the other five kunai knives.
Hiei: a star…? What is he planning?
Sasuke: You'll regret underestimating me, midget. (charges chakra energy through the five kunai on the border. Beams of blue light shoot from kunai to kunai to form a five pointed alchemy-style star, Sasuke and the sixth kunai in the center)
Hiei: I can't move! Oh, --! What are you doing?
Sasuke: Making sure you can't dodge this. (charges up chakra in the palm of his hand) Chidori! (charges at the immobile Hiei)
(sidelines)
Itachi: chidori… that's Kakashi's signature move, isn't it?
Naruto: He's got him now! Short stuff can't move an inch!
Kurama: Hiei… Oh, no, he's gonna use that technique! Has he perfected it enough yet…?
(in the crowd)
Sakura: Go Sasuke! I knew you could do it!
Kakashi: well, she seems cheerful enough. A wise move on Sasuke's part. Binding the foe's movements so as not to waste chakra on a missed strike. He's gotten stronger…
Yusuke: Whoa! I can actually see the ninja kid's energy! Weird!
Kuwabara: Man, shortie's in for it now!
(in the ring)
Hiei: You can't kill me that easily! Feel the might of Blazing Fist of the Overlord! (charges up fire in his hand and strikes at Sasuke)
Sasuke: Yah! (dodges, then uses Chidori)
Hiei: Aaaagh! (got hit, Sasuke's hand went through his gut) ghh…
Sasuke: you done yet, shrimp? (releases his "binding star" and pulls hand out of Hiei) I'm surprised you can even stand.
Hiei: I'm not… done yet… human… (uses demon energy to heal himself)
Sasuke: his healing ability rivals Sakura's, but I doubt it works on anyone but him.
Hiei: Black Dragon Unholy Fire! (blasts Sasuke with the black dragon)
Sasuke: aaahh… (disappears into the flame, hair begins to change to white as eyes change colors)
(sidelines)
Naruto: Sasuke! No!
Kurama: I knew it… Hiei's not that easy to defeat.
Itachi: so, you couldn't make the cut, eh, little brother? Such a shame… (smirking slightly)
Naruto: No, wait… Oh, CRAP!
(in the crowd)
Kakashi: Calm down, Sakura. Crying won't solve anything.
Sakura: sniff sa-sasuke…
Kakashi: What? Sasuke's chakra just skyrocketed! Don't tell me he's…
(in the ring)
Hiei: Got you that time, loser.
(Sasuke stands up in the middle of the dust created by the dragon's attack)
Sasuke: (fully transformed into second state curse-mark) And which loser is that?
Hiei: What the --? Who are you?
Sasuke: I am still Uchiha Sasuke, but in a rather… altered… state. This transformation is thanks to a little something I received a long time ago, a curse-mark, allowing me to change my form… into something far greater that I once was. (grunts in pain, then his wings burst out of his shoulders) Now, where were we? Ah, yesss… (forms Chidori) Die.
(Hiei, unable to dodge the oncoming Lightning Blade, is hit in the shoulder, losing an arm and a lot of blood)
Hiei: unh… (wobbles, then collapses, K.O.)
Announcer: Sasuke wins! Um, do you mind transforming back now?
Sasuke: Sure. (transforms back quickly)
(Orihime reattaches Hiei's arm)
END
A/N: Ok, I think that turned out rather well. Next match is Karasu vs. Kenshin. It would have been Miroku vs. Kenshin, but the monk's disqualified. (see Ulquiorra vs. Sango)
