I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. This is fan fiction only.
As the order was being decided, the people present decided to introduce themselves, one man looked at the others, "The name is Kuroda, contract killer." Hearing him say that as a clear attempt to scare the others into giving up another man stepped up and spoke next, "Kazemaru, I trained to be a ninja since the day I was born."
Another man decided to step up and grab an arrow like the two before him, "The name is Shorin, I have traveled the world looking for a perfect master." Another followed suit and picked another arrow, "I am Chimpo the wanderer, traveling mercenary."
The man looked like he was born in mainland China, Shorin had the entire look of a monk from Tibet, Kazemaru had a rather interesting tattoo on his forehead which reminded Yusuke of a swastika, and the contract killer couldn't be more American in his looks if he tried. As he was thinking about that another picked another arrow, "I am Kibano, I have traveled the world and mastered every single form of martial art." As he said that Yusuke decided to pick up his arrow next as he walked near the young monk who he knew was Rando, trying to feel his energy.
"The name is Yusuke, I am a former Yakuza enforcer." As he walked back to where he had been standing before he got a few looks from the other competitors, it seems they were as keen on trying to figure him out as he had been. Shizuru simply walked towards the arrow that was next to the one Yusuke picked up, "Shizuru, the wife of the guy who just told everyone used to be a Yakuza if you want a profession, spirit medium."
As she said this she got a few looks herself but mostly from the young monk, it seems they were a little disappointed to hear she was already married. Kuwabara not wanting to be left behind picked an arrow that had landed right next to the one Shizuru picked, "I am Kuwabara, the toughest punk at my high school. What you want to get fresh with her, you have to go through me since she is my big sister."
Another lady picked the next arrow and introduces herself as Mai Valentine, she was a professional gambler, the next lady to pick up her arrow was another young woman by the name of Fei Wong, a corporate fixer, next person who picked up an arrow was a man by the name of James Cassidy, who flat out introduce himself as a serial killer. No frigging kidding he just described himself that he came to the tournament to rack up some more people to increase his kill count.
This continued until the last one picked up the last arrow and simply introduces himself as Albert Westler, an ex-soldier of an elite anti-terrorist battalion. Every single man in the room could only consider him a stuck-up douchebag, here he was wearing shades in a room so dark, they wished they had some freaking torches to light the place.
"Now if you lot will follow me to the back of this room, you will see in which order you each will fight and against who, there is no restriction on how you fight, if you got weapons, by all means, use them, skills, by all means, this will show me how competent you are and I will get a better understand of my potential student, so the more you show off the better."
They saw that she had written their names in a tier combat format and as they saw, the first people to fight is the ninja and the contract killer. Yusuke could swear that he saw something akin to respect from the contract killer, making him think that he knew who he was and who was his Yakuza Clan.
As the two fought each other the only thing that could be heard was the sound of the two men fighting each other, Yusuke, Shizuru, and to some extent, Kuwabara was trying their best to use their senses to see what the hell was going on, Kazemaru was an excellent ninja, as he could blend in with the darkness in the room in ways that his opponent could only dream off, but he put in a valiant effort but sadly he was defeated rather quickly when Kazemaru punched several places on the guy's body and he collapsed on the ground unconscious.
Chingo was an expert when it came to knives, daggers and he apparently had an arsenal of them on his body, the entire look of him being plump was all an illusion as Yusuke began to notice that he took one dagger after another from under his clothes, and threw them against his opponent, had it been any normal person, Chingo would have won, but the person he was fighting was not a normal person at all, and this confirmed it even more than the young monk was indeed none other than Rando.
Rando caught every thrown weapon and immediately threw them against Chingo and many times he would have injured the man but in the end, the few scrapes and the fact that he ended up using his entire arsenal made him surrender.
The man who thanks to the chart they knew was named Musashi was using what seems to be a wooden sword, he defeated the serial killer in such a brutal fashion it made some of the people in the room feel almost sorry for him, somehow he turned his wooden sword so sharp that he literally killed his opponent without even any hesitation. To Yusuke, it seems that the way Musashi killed him that was either personal or that he came to this tournament to also target his opponent so he could kill him.
Shizuru used her martial arts to defeat Mai in less time than it would take her to play a game of poker. Yusuke turns out was next to fight against the supposed martial arts master, and for some strange reason, Yusuke was actually getting excited, almost like he could tell this would be the most challenging fight. "Look kid, I don't want to hurt an innocent punk putting on airs, so I am giving you this chance to tap out, if you come near me however I will show you that I mean business." The guy had no idea what he had done. Yusuke was furious at him treating him like a young punk putting up airs.
As Kibano began to walk over to Yusuke, he decided to show no mercy, as he ran towards him jumped off a pillar, and using his speed kicked Kibano so hard that he was on his knees for a second before Yuzuke almost disappeared from sight, next thing the people that could see the fight could only see Kibano being struck by kicks and punches from a person that was for all intended purposes invisible, Yusuke was moving so fast that they could not keep track of him or even see him.
After a series of punches caused him to fly into the air, he was seen catching him as he fell and slamming him into the floor, causing many people to think that Kibano was not getting up from that for some time as he was knocked out. The next person to fight was Kuwabara, who was shocked to find that the reason Musashi's sword was so sharp even though it was a wooden sword is that he was sending his spirit energy through it.
Kuwabara had nothing to use to fight against that, instead, he decided to use the same sort of fighting that he did against Yusuke, it seems that fighting him so many times as they both grew up caused him to actually improve enough to deal with him, and as he tried to strike Kuwabara this time trying to knock him out, he grabbed the blade that normally would have cut him, but he managed to use his spirit energy to cover his hands and as he punched Musashi, he broke his sword into three pieces.
Seeing that his opponent had infused this with his spirit energy Kuwabara took two of the pieces and did the same thing, from the two pieces came what seemed to be the blades of two swords made of spirit energy but the thing was so chaotic and clearly out of control that Kuwabara was practically wielding two metal bats for all intends and purposes.
Kuwabara not wanting his sister to be unarmed like he had tossed the hilt of the sword to her, telling her that a broken wooden hilt was better than nothing. Yusuke was seating on the ground right next to Rando who was pretending to be meditating. Rando sensing him simply decided to offer him a drink out of his canteen, to which Yusuke saw and began to laugh, "No, but thank you for offering so Rando how have you been lately? Killed anyone fun lately? I sure hope I am not boring you with my little fight."
The young monk looked surprised. "Not at all Yusuke, it was quite entertaining to see you fight with your eyes closed like that. Mind if I ask you how did you figure my true identity out? Not many have been able to see through my disguises so I am quite curious." Yusuke kept looking at someone fighting.
"It's your breath actually, you should really avoid eating human beings when you are going to be so close to people, or at least try to use some mouthwash before you got here. I am guessing the real monk was your meal. " Rando was again surprised by his answer. "So my breath gave me away I guess I did not expect you to recognize the smell."
Yusuke smiled at him, "In my profession, I met plenty of demons and you only need to smell that particular smell once and you never can forget it. So don't you worry Rando I will be at the finals to have some fun with you in our fight?" Rando began to walk away and told him he was looking forward to it.
The fighting seemed to intensify and in one of the fights Weskler decided to attempt to get Shizuru to stop pretending to be that kid's wife and actually go out with someone who deserves to date a beauty like her, mainly himself, at first Weskler was fighting him with a machete, and throwing insults about how many ways Yusuke was inferior to him, everything from looks, to how he probably was no better than a virgin, that is when the kid gloves came off.
Shizuru grabbed the hilt of the sword and unlike her brother, the way her energy made the sword was clear to see that she made a Katana by using her spirit energy, "You can insult my brother till you turn blue in the face, but the minute you insult my husband, the man that I love, how dare you! I will make sure to make you see hell!"
As Weskler thought that this was only a visual illusion he didn't consider the fact that the sword that Shizuru now wielded in fact cut his machete into pieces and actually managed to cut him along with his weapon, as he was cut to ribbons by so many slashes and jabs, at such speeds that it was almost impossible to see the trajectory of the sword. Since she made minced meat out of her opponent she was declared the winner immediately after the blade disappeared, went towards Yusuke asking him if he was impressed with what she could do.
The fighting continued until only eight of them remained, and it was clear that many of the people that came to be her apprentice were highly skilled, she initially thought that picking the boy Koenma sent to guard her was her obvious choice, but after seeing how skilled the others were, it made her realize that choosing was not going to be as easy as she thought, she honestly didn't expect to have such a wonderful selection of potential students, she had to admit that at first Kuwabara seemed to be like a good candidate, but after seeing the way his sister fought, she made the decision that no matter what happens in the tournament, she would make sure Shizuru became one of her students, regardless of who won the tournament.
The next fights were quickly over as several of the remaining fighters fought against each other, till only three people remained, one being Kuwabara, the next being Yusuke and finally the demon pretending to be a monk, Rando.
"Well with the deadweight taken care of, follow me, we are going to the final location of this tournament." Genkai began to smile as the remaining fighters followed her through the door that had opened she could already feel the spirits of the dead warriors, as she walked towards a location that would only appear in a horror movie.
" Urameshi don't tell me we are going to fight here? I swear I am seeing all sorts of ghosts of some guys who did not die that peacefully or pleasantly. " Yusuke walked over to Kuwabara and told him there was no such a thing as dying either peacefully or pleasant on a battlefield." In this place, you can fire off techniques and not be tired. Since there is a high concentration of spirits around. "
" Now as for the order it is simple, the time you arrived from the forest will determine the order. Kuwabara you arrived last to the tree, the monk second, and Urameshi you first. So you Kuwabara will fight the monk and whoever wins fights Urameshi. Do you have any questions? "
Since nobody said anything Kuwabara and Rando decided to fight it out. Rando was cursing his luck when he had been fighting Kuwabara for a few minutes. He felt that Kuwabara was no better than a monkey with a stick. Rando began chanting something really weird. To Kuwabara, he thought that was some weird poetry until he realized that he was the size of a bug.
Rando picked him up and slammed him hard on a tree and knocked him out and returned him to his normal size. "Well, that takes care of that. Come on Urameshi I don't want to waste more time." Yusuke got up but not before getting something from his pocket and placing it in his ears. "Don't you think you should drop the disguise? I think we all know you are not exactly human from all the energy you are leaking."
Rando removed his disguise and he actually looked bigger in his true form. "Now I showed you one of my techniques why don't you show me one of yours." Yusuke grabbed his fist and it began glowing. "Don't tell me you are about to do the Kamehameha wave?" He did not answer Genkai as she said that. He simply made a punch and the shot was fired at Rando who was hit by a barrage of spirit energy bullets like hits.
"No, actually I call that my Uzi. Now, how about we get this little fight started shall we?" Rando and Yusuke really did seem to be enjoying themselves as they fought. "Just my rotten luck to battle fanatics and one is going to be my student. You can come down you know. Yes, I can actually see you on the oar."
Botan decided to come down and stand with her. "So he is a spirit detective then. Do tell junior that I am grateful for his concern for my safety, but I have lived alone for a long time and I am not as defenseless as I look."
Botan smiled at her. "Sorry, but since you are a friend of his and one of the few he has. He really wanted to make sure you were safe." Genkai smiled and looked at the two fighting. "That is quite alright, at least he sends me someone I can teach. As for you Shizuru, I changed my mind about only taking in one student, I will train you at the same time I train Yusuke. It is going to be a lot of fun." Rando was knocked out and by the looks of it had tried to use the same technique with Urameshi.
"Kuwabara you can stop pretending you are knocked out. You are not fooling us. " Yusuke told him as he walked with Rando in a miniature size holding him in his right hand." What do you mean he is awake even after I slammed him as I did? " Rando said looking rather upset." I've known him for years and it takes more than that to knock him out.
"The real question is how are you listening with your ears plugged like that? " Yusuke laughed and simply told them he could read lips. He stopped his technique and the energy-blocking sound in his ears was released. " So that is why you didn't fall victim to that chant. "
Genkai walked over to the miniature Rando and looked at him with a hateful glare." You are the victim of your own stolen technique. Since you will be going to prison for a very long time I will give you a lesson. That technique reprograms the brain with the words of the chant. The only thing a reasonable person has to do is block their ears and the user goes falls victim to it. "
Rando looked not too happy to hear that." That technique is over a hundred years old. How in the world would he figure it out when his friend didn't. " Genkai smiled at him," What did you expect from the Son of Raizen? " that made Rando look rather shocked and so was Yusuke by the look of it.
" Give me some credit Yusuke. I happen to know that you love battle as much as your father. There is only one demon who fits the way you behave and that is King Raizen one of three rulers of the demon realm. "
