Hey readers. I'm so sorry that I have not updated in a while. I just have been so busy with everything. I just wanted to say something about the story before you continue on. Some of you have mentioned about how you would like to read more about the main character. I am very sorry about that. I was trying to have it more like the anime show in the beginning until my character is slowly introduced. I can make that occur faster for you all. I also kinda half assed this chapter only because it's my least favorite and I really hate explaining long ass battles... so yeah.. haha. sorry, but it'll get better I PROMISE! Just bare with me here. Enjoy.
Chapter 7 ...
Crowd begins to cheer on for the next fight of the dark tournament. Hiei had survived the Dragon of the Darkness Flame.
"Yeah! What a way get back to the top! Hiei could beat anyone with that move!" Kuwabara announced excitedly, but then stopped to think about his words. "Hiei could beat anyone with that move. Do I listen to myself? What if he decides to be a bad guy again? What I he decides to shoot us with the dragon?"
Hiei shoved his hands in pockets and smirked at Kuwabara, "don't worry, we've entered ourselves into an alliance and I'm not the type to break it, of course after we win the tournament I can't guarantee a thing." He shifted slightly and flinched noticeably by the damage of his burned arm.
Kuwabara laughed nervously, but Kurama and the masked fighter could see that Hiei was in serious pain. A demon with a blue Mohawk and an Australian accent suddenly walked to the platform, holding a bottle of alcohol and clearly drunk. He then clumsily tried to climb onto the platform; however, he lost his balance and fell back. "No, need to make the ring taller, let's just have some fun," he mumbled.
"Oh dear, a drunk mad man's escaped to the ring," Botan stated
Chu, the blue haired man, stumbled and fell on his ass, "'Ey, uh, announcer Sheila, you look pretty hot. Would you come 'ere a second?"
Koto looked around herself nervously, "uh..."
Chu slammed his fist onto the ground impatiently, "I gotta question for you!"
Koto ran up to him, "oh, what kind of question?"
"Two of my fella's just died on accident. How can I take their-" he finished the sentence with a burp on Koto's face.
She closed her eyes and plugged her nose, looking disgusted. "Doesn't matter how many have died, each team is allowed one alternate fighter."
"You sure about that?"
Koto was insulted, "I am a walking rulebook; my entire life is this tournament. Of course I'm sure!"
Chu grabbed Koto and hugged her, "Thanks a lot Sheila."
"His spirit energy is lower than Zeru's, but somehow I have a creepy feeling. Watch out you guys," Kuwabara warned.
Botan wasn't so worried. "What could you be worried about? He's the alternate fighter, and secondly he's a lush."
The masked fighter knew Chu had something to hide under that drunken charade. 'The fool may be right, something is foul. Even when he killed his team mates I couldn't feel his strength,' she thought to herself.
"Hurry up!"
"Chu is extremely impatient," Koto announced.
"What did you say?" Chu asked, short-temperedly.
Koto laughed nervously, "I only say as I see it."
Chu pointed at her, "don't be confusing me with big words, just get me a fighter!"
"Urameshi team, present your combatant," Koto was getting irritated.
"Well, we still have that masked fighter guy," Kuwabara began as he turned around to face the masked fighter. "C'mon man, it's your turn!"
The masked fighter simply closed her eyes in defiance. She knew something the rest of the team did not.
"If you can't give me someone I will have to disqualify," Koto stated.
"No, wait hold on a second," Kuwabara protested. "I guess I will have to take control of this fight. Unless of course I can get Urameshi to wake up!" He turned to look around for him and could not find him lying around. "That's weird, where'd he go?"
Yusuke jumped onto the platform.
"That's unexpected," Kuwabara mumbled.
"Indeed," Botan agreed.
"Waking up to the smell of alcohol, can't help but feel a touch at home," Yusuke slightly complained as he started to stretch from his slumber.
Demons from the stadium began to chant "kill Yusuke" in unison as the two fighters stared at one another, studying each other.
"Well that's intimidating," Kuwabara announced. "Never heard so many voices hate one person."
"Hn, but can you really be surprised?" Hiei questioned. "Yusuke has become something like a boogeyman for the apparitions."
"Yeah, I guess he has beaten a lot of bad guys, but I have been helping Urameshi. Why don't they want to kill me?" Kuwabara expressed with jealously in his voice.
"Perhaps it's because you lost?" Botan pressed.
"Hey now! They didn't have to know that before the fight!" Kuwabara objected.
Chu and Yusuke began to bore into each other's eyes, looking to see if they could find a weakness for their opponent. Chu was the first to speak. "Stay there for a bit, I've forgotten something," he said before vanishing and reappearing beside Koto and stole her microphone. "Sorry Sheila gotta borrow."
"Ew, please stop don't call me that," Koto lectured.
"Uh, ok," Chu began his announcement. "I just wanna get the record straight before this thing go. This only thing I suck at is paper, rock scissors." The crowd grew silent.
"Uh, let me try to translate for the drunk," interrupted the cat demon. "Earlier this morning the Rokuyukai team decided who would go first by paper, rock scissors. Chu lost pathetically and became the alternate but you can forget all that 'cause he is number one!"
"Yeah!" Chu exclaimed.
"No need to thank me, that's why I'm here," Koto proudly bowed.
"Wow, she is a very perceptive person, isn't she?" Kuwabara acknowledged.
The masked fighter knew that this guy somehow had something up his sleeve. She knew that Yusuke needed to be wise in this fight. However, she somehow had a feeling that this boy doesn't tend to think rationally during a battle.
"I'm strong okay? I'm not tryin' to yank ya here!" Chu interrupted the masked fighter's thoughts.
Yusuke laughed, "yeah, I'm not stupid, I understand. It's not too difficult you know? You were scared to fight me before and now you're blaming it on some dumb game."
Chu was offended, "That's not right. Didn't you hear the fuck she was saying?"
Yusuke continued to taunt him.
"Listen to this drunk, he's insane," murmured Botan.
"Yeah, wobbly, the tipsy drunk thing might be weird, but I've still heard of it before. You better have something else to make this a real challenge. I didn't come all this way to babysit a drunk," Yusuke grinned.
"You won't be disappointed once I hit my groove. I just have to stumble into it," Chu stated as his body began to turn red.
"This is so exciting. I have never seen such uproar for such an early fight," Koto exclaimed. "I can barely hear myself. I can say horrible things and no one would know it. Ever so slowly the crowd is coming down. I could say the same thing for Chu. The glaze over his eyes could almost be called sober."
The two fought an amazing battle; however Yusuke defeated Chu with one last punch to the face.
"That was incredible Urameshi! How you holdin' up?" Kuwabara tended to his friend as Yusuke gave him thumbs up and grinned.
The crowd went hysterical by screaming and booing at the Urameshi team.
"SSSSHHHHHUUUUTTT UUUUUUUUUUUUP!" Yusuke shouted which caused the crowd to silence. "IF U IDIOTS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT! Or say it to my fist."
'That boy is something else,' the masked fighter thought to herself.
