"Now what? I'll find the girls! I'm surrounded by males all the time a girls day will do me some good." Kagome mused to herself. "Yes, that's what I'll do."

Kagome smiled to herself and skipped out of the room, intent on finding all the females she knew that would be at the tournament.

oOo Chapter 12 oOo

"Today is the day! The day we concur and rule all! The world will bow down to our awesomeness! Muhahaha!" The males slowly backed away from the insane girl. "Where are you going? We must march! And rule the world!"

"Umm we don't want the world…I-I mean. 'course we do." Yusuke nervously laughed as Kagome glared at him. "So, uh, 'Gome, why are we going to take over the world?"

"Because! I wanna win this tournament and that, in its self, is ruling the world, so we have to win this tournament, simple as that."

They all blinked, confused at her strange logic. They filed into the kitchen and while avoiding Kagome, ate their breakfast.

"Anyone know where shorty is?"

"Hiei left a little earlier but I don't think he'll like be called shorty by you. Beware 'Bara, beware."

"Ha, that shrimp couldn't hurt me, I'm the great Kuwabara!"

Thump.

Kuwabara was on the floor and everyone was looking at Hiei who was standing behind the chair Kuwabara previously occupied.

"Hn."

"Hi Hiei!"

Hiei glared at Kagome as his hand twitched towards his sword.

"Look at the time! Guess we should go down to the stadium!" Yusuke nervously jumped out of his chair and looked at Hiei and Kagome.

"Kay."

"Hn."

They all got up and left the room, all thinking of the last fight. Team Raiden consisted of the leader, Hiten, a lightning youkai and incredibly strong; Hekireki, a thunder youkai; Karai, another thunder youkai; Rakurai, lightning youkai; and Kyuuden, another lightning youkai.

"So who's goin' first? Oh, jus' so'd you all know, Hiten is mine, we have a score to settle."

"What! No way! He's the leader and the strongest! You are not fighting him!"

"You can't stop me Yusuke. I will fight him, and I will win."

Kagome briskly walked away from the group with an emotionless mask on.

"Welcome fighters! May the finals begin! On one side we have team Raiden! On the other we have team Urashima! First up, Kyuuden VS Kurama!"

The fighters faced each other waiting to begin. As soon as the match began they were both into action. Kurama pulled out a seed and turned it into his famous rose whip and flicked it towards his enemy. Kyuuden instantly made small balls of lightning around him and sent them at Kurama while making a ball of lightning surround his fists. Kyuuden didn't have time to made lightning fists as he had to dodge Kurama's rose whip but Kurama couldn't attack after that either because he had to dodge the lightning balls. Kyuuden clenched his fist and started making his lightning fists once more. When his fists were fully charged he ran at Kurama and started punching. Kurama was having a hard time dodging the balls and the fist and took the first opportunity he had to send a kick at Kyuuden's head. Kyuuden saw it coming and blocked it with the back of his hand. But as his hands were covered in electricity it made Kurama fly across the ring. Kurama coughed up blood and shakily stood up.

"Ready to give up traitor?"

Kurama didn't answer but the glare was enough of one for Kyuuden. He glared and raced forward to end the fight, or, he tried to anyway. He looked down at his legs to see small vines holding him in place. Kyuuden growled and tried to kill them but placing his hands on them and sending his electricity through them. All the vines did in return was absorb the lightning and grow stronger and farther up his body.

Kurama shakily made his way over to Kyuuden who didn't notice as he was to busy trying to get out of the vines hold. Once he saw that the vines firmly held Kyuuden's arms in place Kurama reached out and touched the vine. He let a little of his youki through and little reddish purple flowers. Kurama backed up as they started to bloom. Once all the flowers were open they let out an almost invisible gas and Kyuuden's eyes drooped until he fell asleep, held up only be the vines.

"And Kurama for team Urashima wins!"

Kurama let Kyuuden go from his vines so his team mates could retrieve him. He turned and walked back to his team, still a little shaky. Kagome was instantly next to him and her hands glowed a soft pink as she placed them on his chest. Kurama could feel the effects from the fight leave him and smiled at Kagome who watched as he more confidently walked to a wall and sat down making sure he was healed. They both turned as the next fight was being announced.

"Second fight! …"
