Hey everyone. I am super sorry for the late update. As Kakashi says, I got lost on the path of life. This is true, I did get lost in my life. Now don't kill me just yet, I will write the next couple of chapters by hand when I can't type it and when it is done, all I would need to do is just type it on the computer. I apologize for future in convinces. Please enjoy the chapter. I only own Sora, and all the other demons that aren't in the anime or manga.
Chapter 11 Why is my Mother here?
Kurama was walking into the ring when Kuwabara asked, "Where does Kurama put his rose whip? I can only think of one place, but it would hurt." Sora had to restrain herself from face palming.
"Kurama uses an ordinary rose. He can transform any plant into a weapon, a blade of grass can cut steel if he chooses to use it," Hiei explained without looking away from the ring. Sora had her attention divided between the fight and Shior. Shior looked very worried while Atsuko was yelling to kick his ass. Sora had to hold in her amusement. 'Atsuko will always be Atsuko. I am surprised that she didn't try to wake up her son,' she thought as she noticed that Kurama started to dodge Roto's attacks.
After a minute of dodging, Kurama appeared behind Roto and was about to kill him until Roto spoke. "What if I said I hold the life of your mother in my hands," he softly said that only Kurama, Hiei, and Sora could hear.
"Shit," Sora softly cursed as Kurama stopped his attack and backed up, but he couldn't avoid getting cut on his cheek. "Sora," Hiei said calmly, "why is Kurama's mother here?" Sora softly said, "I'll explain later, I already have people protecting her." Kurama stood still while Roto started to beat him up.
Shior couldn't take it and yelled out, "KURAMA!" Everyone went silent as they turned their heads towards her. Shior was standing up with tears in her eyes and said, "DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING HE SAYS!" Kurama was staring wide eyed at her.
'WHY IS OUR MOTHER HERE!' Yoko and Kurama thought as Roto laughed. "Some son you are, you let your mother come to the only place where she can be killed in seconds," he said as he laughed in hysterics. When he caught his breath, he smirked and said, "Well, let's see how you like seeing your mother's death in person." Before Kurama could even move, Roto pressed the button.
Two black shadows started to race towards Shior from the side of the arena. Before anyone could say anything, there was four blurs of color and the sound on a guitar hitting something. Everyone soon was looking at four demons surrounding the girls and two demons split in half in front of them. Each demon had a different instrument in their hands. One of the males had a guitar as the other hand drumsticks. The girls had a bass guitar and a metal flute.
The one with the guitar placed it over his shoulder and smirked. "So Utako! How have you been?" he yelled out. Everyone slowly turned their heads towards Sora as she said, "Nice to see you too, Akihiro!"
"Oh, my, god!" Koto yelled out, "The rest of the band is here!" Koto started to hyperventilate, completely forgetting the fight.
Akihiro continued to smirk and said, "So what's my reward for saving a future pack member?" Sora sighed and said, "We'll discuss everything after the match and no you will not sleep with me tonight, so don't even suggest that!" Akihiro snapped his fingers in a sarcastic drat movement. Sora turned to see Kuwabara staring with amazement, Hiei glaring at her, and Kurama and Yoko looking enraged. 'I am in so much trouble,' Sora thought as she scooted towards Yusuke, who is still asleep.
'How dare he even think of sleeping with our mate! And why did she allow mother to come here of all places!' Yoko ranted as Kurama allowed him to take control. 'Fox! Kill the weakling and get answers later!' Hiei told them as he kept a close eye on Sora, who was slowly scooting beside Yusuke. Yoko smirked and turned towards a now petrified Roto. "You believed that you could beat me with that silly trick?" he said as he slowly pulled out a seed from his hair, "I'll show you what happens when you try harming something that I treasure." Yoko then threw the seed into Roto. Roto started to laugh. "Is that the best you can do?" he asked before he started to laugh some more. Yoko smirked and snapped is fingers. Roto slowly stopped laughing and started to scream in pain. In a matter of minutes, Roto had plants growing slowly out of every part of his body, and at the last second, the plants burst out of him and bloomed into beautiful flowers. Yoko turned and exited the arena.
Sora froze in her spot as she saw Kurama stand next to Hiei without giving her a glance. Sora looked at the ground. 'He's angry at me. How can I explain if he won't even look at me,' Sora thought as she sat down next to Yusuke.
'Fox, we will get answers tonight,' Hiei said as he glance back at Sora that was now poking Yusuke along with Kuwabara to try and wake him up. 'I know Hiei. That is why I need to avoid Sora, if I face her now, I will lose control and start interrogating her,' Kurama explained as he struggled with locking Yoko back up.
Zeru then appeared in the arena. He looked somewhat happy at Sora's discomfort from her team. "I'll take him. He needs to pay for yesterday," Hiei said as he took off his scarf and entered the arena. "You use a kind of fire," Hiei said. Zeru looked surprised. "I saw the traces of the cup; you broke it with your flames. Not bad," he continued.
"Keep you mischievous comments to yourself," Zeru said. Hiei just shrugged and said, "You won't come out of this fight alive. Not after calling my imouto a whore." Sora and the girls snapped their heads towards Hiei. "KILL THAT BASTERD! NO ONE CALLES MOTHER A WHORE!" Atsuko yelled. Everyone looked at her with a what-the-fuck look.
"Have you been drinking again, Atsuko?" Keiko asked. Atsuko looked her and said, "A little but that doesn't change the fact that he should die."
Sora sighed and muttered about drunken humans. Kuwabara said, "I believe that Yusuke's mom been hitting the sake again."
"Mom! Stop saying nonsense," Yusuke muttered in his sleep. 'This day is just getting more awkward,' Kurama thought. "Ok, ignore the drunk human and Start This Fight!" Koto yelled out.
Flames surrounded Zeru's body as he said, "I'm going to burn you to ash." Hiei just stood still and wasn't very impressed. Zeru then hit him in the stomach, causing Hiei to be set on fire. Everyone gasped except Sora. "He was taken down in one blow," Kuwabara said in shock. "No," Sora said with a small smirk, "Oniisan can't be killed with such a weak attack."
Zeru was about to turn around when Hiei got up and said, "You have to do better than that." Zeru's jaw dropped as he asked, "How are you still alive?" Hiei just smirked and said, "You're unlucky. You are going to be the first victim of the Dragon of the Darkness Flam." Everyone gasped. Sora's eyes widened and quietly said, "That technique is too risky to be used in this realm."
Hiei started to gather black flames in his right hand and stated, "I don't have control over it yet but my right arm should be enough for you." Zeru was scared and was frozen in place with pure terror. "Now it's time for you to disappear for the insult that you brought upon my imouto," Hiei said as he started to charge with the black flames.
"Things are about to get dangerous. Excuse me while I get myself to safety!" Koto exclaimed scared as she hopped out of the ring to safety.
"You're going to die!" Hiei yelled out as she shot his black dragon of the darkness flame at Zeru. Zeru couldn't dodge and was hit all the way to the wall. As things got quite as the black flames consumed everything of Zeru's being. Koto slowly crawled back into the ring and looked around for Hiei and Zeru. She turned and saw Zeru's shadow on the wall. "There is no point in counting. There is nothing left of him," Hiei said as he turned towards his team. "You're right. Counting would be pointless," Koto said as she declared Hiei the winner.
"Man that was scary!" Kuwabara muttered loudly," makes you think what would happen if he changed sides." Sora just smiled and said, "He won't unless you somehow harm me, which is very unlikely." Kuwabara gulped but calmed down as Hiei walked over to Kurama.
"He killed Zeru in one shot," said one of the other team's fighters. "Yeah, and the girl was playing with Rinku the whole time in her fight," the other replied. "We should get out of here!" the first said as he started to run towards the exit. Once they got there, someone from the shadows started to attack and killed them. This caused everyone to look towards the person coming out.
He was a tall tan man with a blue mohawk. "Chu!" Rinku exclaimed happily. Chu then just downed the bottle of sake that he was carrying as said drunkly, "Could you explain to those mates that there is a fight to fight and not to run away."
Sora covered her nose and coughed out, "He is extremely drunk! I can smell the alcohol all the way over here." Hiei and Kurama nodded but didn't express their opinions as Chu drunkly asked how his team could continue.
No one noticed that Yusuke woke up until he was in the ring. "Wake me up with the smell of alcohol, can't help but feel at home," he said as everyone turned their attention to him and Chu. 'After all the explosions, it's the stink that wakes him,' Kurama thought as Yusuke cracked his knuckles. "I could use a little work out to wake me up," Yusuke said. The crowed started to chant kill Yusuke as Yusuke started to head towards the center of the ring.
"Hehe. Yusuke is going to win this match with this drunken buffoon," Kuwabara said goofily. Sora, Hiei, and Kurama narrowed their eyes. "Don't assume Kuwabara. Chu may be drunk but that doesn't mean he isn't strong," Sora said while still covering her nose.
Chu gave a scowl as he mutter light exercise before he disappeared and reappeared right next to Koto with her mic in his hands. Kuwabara had gone quite as he looked over at Sora who gave him a look that said see. The Chu yelled out, "There isn't any Janken which I'm bad at! I'm not afraid of anyone!" This confused everyone until Koto took back her mic and said, "Team Jolly Devil decided their alternant player in a game of janken. It seems that Chu is actually the Captain for his team."
Yusuke just removed his jacket and said, "Let's get this started." "I'm going to teach you!" Chu yelled out, "I'm the master of alcohol!" After that Sora decided to tune out Chu's ramble and Yusuke's replies.
'Kurama and Yoko haven't even given me a glance since his fight,' she thought as she glanced towards the girls. 'They know I wouldn't purposely put Shior in danger without taking many well calculated precautions. I told Akihiro, Hibiki, Kotone, and Maiko to protect her. I understand that he doesn't want Shior in danger but if only he would look at me to tell me to explain I would feel better.' 'Imouto, the fox is keeping his distance until the end of the match,' Hiei told her. Sora glared at him but the glare turned into a look of relief. 'Thank you. But I am not happy that you over heard my thoughts. I will forgive you this one time,' she replied. Hiei just continued to watch Chu and Yusuke fight.
'Fox,' Hiei said. 'What Hiei?' Kurama answered. 'Sora had no ill intent with bringing your mother here. She planned of every worst case scenario,' Hiei explained. 'I know but why she did is what I want to know,' Kurama replied. 'She'll explain when Yusuke is done,' Hiei said as he exited Kurama's mind.
Everyone continue to watch the match. Atsuko was randomly yelling out for Yusuke to pulverize Chu every once and a while. The fight had everyone on the edge of their seats up to the point when Chu pulled out two knives and started to shove them into the ground.
"Take your shoes off and place your foot against the dagger," Chu explained as he took his own shoes off. Yusuke did what he was told and waited for more instructions. "The limit is fixed by the knives. If you cross it, you must die," Chu continued, "I'm starting on the signal." Both Yusuke and Chu waited for Koto to give the signal. As soon as she said go Chu punched Yusuke in the face. Then punches were getting swung everywhere from both of them.
Sora had to stare with amazement and let out a small smile. 'It looks like those two will be good friends after this,' she thought to herself.
It wasn't too long afterwards that when Chu and Yusuke head-butted each other. Chu fell unconscious to the ground and giving Team Urameshi the first victory. Sora saw that Yusuke was having trouble walking and was next to him in a blink of an eye. As Sora let Yusuke use her for support, the crowd started to yell to kill Chu. Sora wouldn't stand for it and yelled out, "You want to know why I teamed up with these traitors!" Everyone was quiet and she continued. "Unlike all of you, they don't mindlessly eliminate decant opponents and if you got a problem with that, come say it to my face!" Chu started to regain consciousness and was confused as Sora and Yusuke made it to the edge of the arena. Sora let Kuwabara take over supporting Yusuke before she turned around and asked, "Chu, Rinku, would you two come to our room?" Chu and Rinku looked confused but they nodded their heads in agreement. "We love to shelia," Chu said as he got to his feet. Sora smiled and said, "I'll see you two in a few minutes then." Then she jumped off the arena and headed to the exit where Kurama was waiting for her with Hiei.
Sora slowly approached Kurama. He was looking at the ground until she stood right in front of him. After a minute he slowly looked up at her and he saw guilt and confusion in her eyes. "I'm sorry," Sora quietly said. Kurama didn't say anything as he took her hand and pulled her closer. "I know you didn't do this without a good purpose," he started to say, "When we get to the room, I expect for you to answer all of my questions." Kurama the place an arm around her waist and started to escort her back with Hiei walking behind them.
Hey there everyone. I apologize again for the late update. I was debating on writing more to the chapter and decided against it since I haven't updated in so long. I will try to keep a better schedule on when I update but I can't promise anything since I will be busy for the next few months. Please review. ^-^
