AN: The gauntlet that is the third round is beginning, and Yusuke finds himself up first. After their second round victory, a cheap shot all but cripples David, and a demon force field leaves Kurama and Hiei out of the round as well. Thinking that things can't get any worse, now they have to fight the third round with only two fighters. Yusuke hopes that even if he loses, which he hopes that he doesn't, he hopes that Michael can take the rest of the round in case that happens. The round begins...

Chapter Ten: Deadly Games and Dirty Tricks Part III

Yusuke was charging right at Muta, but when Muta opened up his mouth to attack, Yusuke stopped his charge, and jumped out of the way as a large amount of acid dropped right where he was standing. Yusuke watched as the acid effortlessly ate through the concrete ring.

"Fucking great, he can shoot acid through his mouth. This ought to be fun." Yusuke stated sarcastically. Muta reared back, and began to shoot acid at him repeatedly as Yusuke continued to run around the ring, dodging the attacks effortlessly. Yusuke knew that this was not going to work, this being him running around dodging acid blasts. Well, when Yusuke got an opening, he was going to take it.

"Man, what the heck is Yusuke doing?" Michael asked. Michael was sitting near the bench that Hiei and Kurama were trapped behind.

"He is dodging attacks, of course." Hiei snapped.

"No, dick, I mean why is he dodging attacks." Michael answered.

"Basically, I believe that he is running around trying to either find a flaw in his attack, or waiting for an opening." Kurama answered.

"Or he has no idea what the hell is he doing." Michael grunted.

"Yes, that is a possibility." Kurama answered.

Yusuke was still on the move when he noticed that Muta was standing still, as if he was gearing up for a big attack. Yusuke saw this as his opportunity, and when it looked as if Muta was going to attack him, Yusuke aimed his finger, and fired a Spirit Gun Bullet, right at Muta. Muta was clearly caught off guard ats to the attack, and the attack caused his head to explode, leaving what remained of his body limp until he it fell to the ground.

"Eww." Kiwi stated stepping over his body to stand next to Yusuke. "Well, it is clear tha Muta is down for the count, so the first fight goes to Team Urameshi!" Kiwi announced.

"Yes. One down one to go!" Michael announced. Yusuke gave his teammates a thumbs up while the next member of Team Koto, the big and burly member of their team.

"Okay, the next fight will be Tomoko representing Team Koto vs Yusuke representing Team Urameshi! Ready? Begin!"

Tomoko was almost three feet taller than Yusuke, and he was built as well. His body was covered with tattoos, and Yusuke immediately flashed back to the last Dark Tournament that he and his friends were in. Basically, the Spirit Detective knew that those tattoos on his body were for something, and he did not just have them because they were cool, or that they were for show. Yusuke soon found out, because Tomoko grabbed one of his tattoos, that's right, he grabbed one of his tattoos, and made it come to life.

"See? This is what I am capable of, and now you will feel it." Tomoko answered. The creature that Tomoko was using was a lynx. It let out a growl, and ran after Yusuke. Yusuke growled, and gathered an orb of energy, and punched it right in the face, causing the lynx to explode in a puff of energy. Tomoko smiled, but now he had enough. He decided to pull out his major weapon early.

"That was just an example. Now see what the art of destruction can really do!" Tomoko answered. This time, Tomoko pulled out a big cannon, and aimed it right at Yusuke. Yusuke began to run as Tomoko began to fire energy blasts from the cannon that he had. Yusuke was dodging the blasts with ease, and Tomoko knew it. Yusuke stopped briefly to catch his breath, as Tomoko took the cannon that he was using, and fused it to his right arm, making it a portable cannon so that he can run faster with it.

"Well, now the rules have changed, Detective. Now be ready for your utter demise." Tomoko sneered. Yusuke sighed, and then he was on the run from Tomoko's onslaught once more. The Spirit Detective knew that this was going to be a lot tougher victory because of what was going on now, especially now that Tomoko was a lot faster now with that arm cannon that he had. Tomoko laughed, and jumped into the sky.

"Since you like running from all of my shots, I am going to enjoy blasting you into a million pieces!" Tomoko screamed. He pressed a few buttons on the arm cannon, and flew right at Yusuke.

"Hm, what the hell." Yusuke told himself. He stood still, and raised his hand, preparing for a final shot.

"What the hell is he doing?" Michael asked.

"Something really stupid." Hiei answered.

"Yusuke knows that he cannot dodge this shot, so he is taking it head on." Kurama stated.

"Brave, but really stupid. He knows that this might not work and he is probably sacrificing a point for the team so that he might win a match, right?" Michael ask the two.

Hiei and Kurama shared a look, and then the two stared right at Michael.

"Right, stupid question." Michael answered.

Tomoko was barreling right at Yusuke, but the Spirit Detective was not moving an inch. Tomoko aimed, as did Yusuke, and in one single swift motion, the two fired their shots.

The shot from both Yusuke and Tomoko collided in mid air, and there was a really big explosion that caused everyone on Dark Moon Isle to lose sight of everyone for a moment.

"Well, nice try Yusuke." Michael answered.

AN: The fight between Yusuke and Tomoko sort of ends on a cliff hanger, and the next chapter, the fight concludes and a surprise is in store, or is it? Wait and see!
