Chapter 26: Semi-Finals Continue...


Kuro fell backwards; out of the match.

“Poison Peach Boy’s out of the fight! Another win for Hiei!!” Juri says.

“Hiei sliced Peach Boy wide open, folks! What a contender!” Koto shouts from the stands.

Hiei walks back to the rest of you guys and picks up a cloth. He rips it and is about to wrap his arm; however you stopped him and smiled at him.

“Let me get that.” You say, taking the cloth from him and gently took his arm and began to wrap his shoulder.

Hiei looked at you with a blank expression before snorting and looked away.

“Feh, do what you want.” Hiei said; however he had a slight tint to his cheeks that disappeared as fast as it came.

Shishiwakamaru smirked from his side of the field.

‘Hmm…that’s a deep wound. Nice…’ he thought.

The crowd was in an uproar.

“Hounds of hades! Her nearly did it! Nearly ain’t enough! Can’t anyone nail this brat?” screamed the demons.

Farther up in the stands stood team Toguro.

“Urameshi’s a no-show….” commented Karasu.

“Im guessing…he’s trying to pump himself up.” Toguro said with a smirk.

After you were done wrapping Hiei’s shoulder you turned back to the arena; waiting to see who will go next.

“Roll ‘em again. Third time’s the charm.” Hiei says.

Shishiwakamaru rolls the dice.

‘I’d like the final match so,…’ thought Kuwabara.

‘I hope I get to fight soon…’ you thought.

The dice land on the arena floor and come slowly to a stop.

“Roll me!” you, Kurama and Hiei think.

‘…don’t roll me!’ thinks Kuwabara.

Once the dice stop it shows up Reverse Urashima and Kurama.

‘Ah!’ thinks Kuwabara and Kurama; both happy with the roll.

“Feh!” Hiei snorts.

“Damn…” you curse, catching the rest of the guy’s attention.

“What?” you ask. “Can’t a girl want some action?”

This caused Kurama and Kuwabara to sweat drop; and a smirk from Hiei.

“Third match is Kurama vs. Reverse Urashima!!” Juri annonces.

“Amazing run of luck, isn’t it?” Shish comments to the old man.

“Every roll’s been in our favor.” The old man responds.

“Hiei took a bad hit while we lost nothing significant.” Shishiwakamaru

“Too much? His aura has just disappeared?” Uraurashima shouts, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.

He wanted to kill Kurama as an infant, not have him not exist.

You as well as the other two teammates felt Kurama’s aura disappear; however, another emerged from with in the smoke.

“What?” the three of you say in surprise.

The two remaining fighters on the opponent team look on in shock as well; feeling the enormous amount of aura emitting from with in the smoke screen.

“Shit, we can't see anything!!!” shouts one demon.

“We want to know what's happened!!!” shouts another from the crowd.

Uraurashima turns and finds standing before him the great and powerful Youko Kurama!!

“Eh...That's you...?! You are...the famous...the abominable and terrifying bandit...!!! Youko Kurama?!!” Uraurashima screams, backing away from the enormous creator.

“I didn't think that...Which one of the two is emitting this power?!” Kuwabara asks, not being able to identify which of the powerful aura was Kurama’s.

“It's Kurama. You really understand nothing. Pff That must have been the other fool who triggered his restoration. The true identity of Kurama.” Hiei says.

“He's really like that?!!” Kuwabara asks.

“Damn…that’s like huge!” you say with wide eyes.

You were being hit with an aura that was too strong to put into words. It was something you had never sensed since you came to the YYH world.

“I've never seen him so powerful. I would like to measure myself against him.” Hiei says with a small grin.

“You're really incorrigible...” Kuwabara says sweat dropping as he looks at Hiei.

“Fightaholic like Yusuke…” you mumble.

Hiei looked into the smoke, and smirked.

“Kurama, you lied. Since that day, you have never been the same. You've become more powerful than before!!!”

In the ring…

“Good...How am I going to cook you?” Youko asks with a devious smirk.

“The stand is full of smoke, we can't see anything!!! We're waiting for a commentary from the arbitrator!!!” Koto says, anxious as the rest of those watching to learn what was going on inside the smoke.

“Eh...Ah...” says a confused Juri, who was now a little cute baby.

Youko Kurama pulls out a seed from his hair, growing it in his hand. A huge monstrous beast grew over his arm and acted as an extension of him self. It grew several heads and looked very hungry as saliva dripped from his huge mouth with his many sharp looking teeth.

“Should I ask it to eat you?” Youko asks in a monotone voice.

“Waah Ahhh! Help!!! I'll do anything you want!!!” Uraurashima shouts, falling backwards onto the ground.

He then began to bow and stayed low, hoping Youko was merciful.

“So, talk! What is the secret of the smoke?” Youko asks.

“I...I swear to you that I know nothing!!! It's Shishiwakamaruwakamaru who gave it to me!” Uraurashima says.

“You must talk, I'm listening! If I feel that you're lying, I'll tell it to eat you...” Youko says, his eyes gleaming at the poor soul before him.

“I'm nothing, not even Urashima! I was promised that if I participated in the tournament I would be given one thing that I was looking for!! It was the same for Makintarou and Kuromomotaru...” Uraurashima says, but before he could continue, a sword flies into the smoke screen and pierces Uraurashima in the neck.

Uraurashima had transformed into a pig like monster, before landing in his own blood; dead.

“Such a vile creator…” Youko says, glaring at the dead pig.

‘Someone succeeded in breaking through the smokescreen with a sword?!’ Youko thinks, not able to believe that was possible.

“The smokescreen is clearing!!!” Kuwabara shouts.

“Yeah, and looks like someone’s dead!” you shout.

The smoke clears, and Shishiwakamaruwakamaru is shown to have thrown the sword, standing it a position to suggest that.

“Shishiwakamaruwakamaru’s sword just broke the barrier!!! But what is revealed?!” Koto shouts.

“Ah! That's?!!” shouts a stunned Kuwabara, not able to believe the fox demon in the ring was the red head he knew as Kurama.

You felt like you were going to faint. He was just so much handsomer in real life.

‘Damn…if I was just a Youko fan…Kuwa should feel very lucky right now he’s got my heart…’ you think, smiling at that thought.

‘The old Kurama...’ Hiei thinks.

“The smokescreen... It's dissipating...” Youko says.

“What?!! That's Kurama?!! Incredible!!! It was from Kurama!!!” Kuwabara shouts.

Youko turns to look at you, which makes you jump.

“I hope to see you soon my perfect mate…” Youko purrs.

You blush before looking around to make sure he was talking to you, before looking at him.

You didn’t notice Kuwabara’s shocked stare nor the hard look Kuwabara gave Youko; who in turn gave back to him.

Youko then transformed back into Minamino Shuuichi.

Kurama sighed.

‘You just had to say something, didn’t you?’ Kurama scolded his inner self.

All Youko did was smirk and gave a satisfied purr.

“That good-for-nothing is one more traitor...In short...It's not so astonishing that that loser was impressed by so much strength.” Shishiwakamaru says.

“And so shall we continue the match?” Koto says.

Kurama walks out of the ring and up to you.

“I apologize to you what Youko said…he’s a bit of a…womanizer…” Kurama said, however the words were unheard by you because you were still in a daze.

‘Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God…’ was all you could think as you stared out into space.

Kuwabara moved his hand in front of your face and didn’t get a reaction.

“I think she passed out…” Kuwabara says.

“On her feet?” Hiei says with a raised eyebrow.

“Hey, it can happen!” Kuwabara says, glaring at Hiei.

Kurama sighs.

Shishiwakamaru looks at the scene, bored.

“Three against two, this is becoming interesting.” Shishiwakamaru says as he throws the dice.

The dice rolls Shishiwakamaru and free for your side.

“Well, who is it? Who wants to die?”

“Yeah!!! We want one of them done in!!!” shouts one demon from the crowd.

“We want to see them die one by one!!!” shouts another demon.

“Yesss!!! We're with you!!!” shouts one of Shishiwakamaru’s fan girls.

“Go Shishiwakamaruwakamaru!”

“Yes!!! He'll rid us of Urameshi!!!”

“I want him to spare Kurama!!!” says a fan girl.

“What?!! You're in love?!” says another fan girl.

“Hmmm...Each team has their groupies! It's really magnificent...” Koto says, looking at the crowd.

“Can't those girls shut up a little? They have no respect for our fight.” Kuwabara says, looking into the crowd of fan girls.

“Eh, loser-face?! What makes you say that? You can't do crap staying over there?” Shishiwakamaru says, smirking at Kuwabara.

“Me? Loser-face?!” Kuwabara shouts, getting mad.

‘Good throw...’ Hiei thinks.

“I'll take him. He seems to be the toughest of the band.” Hiei says.

“No, I'll go. You need to recover for the final.” Kurama says.

“Be frank with me. You want to know the secret of the smoke?” Hiei says, giving Kurama a sideways glance.

“Calm yourselves!!!!! After this provocation...It's only fair that I do him in!!!” Kuwabara says, glaring.

All three of them have a staring contest.

You snap out of your daze at this point and sweat drop at the three.

“Why can’t we all just get a long?” you say.

Kurama sighs, realizing you are right.

“We'll do this calmly...We'll decide by janken.”

“Fine by me!” grins Kuwabara.

“What's that, janken?” Hiei asks, looking at Kurama.

“It’s rock, paper, and scissors. Rock crushes scissors, scissors cut paper and paper covers rock.” You say, showing with your hands what each item represented.

“Hn.” Hiei says.

“Beginners can only use rock the first time.” Kuwabara says.

“Kuwabara, don’t lie! Just ignore him; he’s pulling your leg.” Kurama says.

“I’ll tell you when to shoot!” you say.

They nod and get their hands ready.

“Janken pon!!!” you shout.

Hiei and Kurama both throw ‘rock’ while Kuwabara throws ‘paper’.

“Yes!!! I've won!!!” Kuwabara shouts.

“Damn!!! You showed your choice after the others!!!” Hiei says.

Kuwabara’s left eye twitched, finding that he had been caught.

“You sure you’re a beginner?” Kuwabara growled out.

You watch as the three keep playing; all ending up in a tie.

Finally, all three throw down.

Hiei throws scissors as well as Kurama; however, Kuwabara threw down rock, making him the winner.

“After about ten attempts...It's finally Kuwabara who's won.” Koto announces.

“Jaken is my specialty!” Kuwabara says proudly.

“It might be because of your strong six sense.” You say.

Hiei glares and Kurama doesn’t look too pleased.

“The poor guy...He doesn't stand a chance!” says someone in the crowd.

“What dogs!!! Me, I'm a player of quality!” Kuwabara shouts.

He then turns to you and gives a grin.

‘As long as (YAFN)-chan and Yukina-san are here, I will not lose!’ Kuwabara thinks.

Though unbeknownst to him, Yukina-san and the rest of the girls are at the old stadium, lost ^^;

“Go get ‘im tiger!” you say with a smile.

Shishiwakamaru is standing in the ring with a cloak, ready for battle.

“Meanwhile Urameshi Team played janken...Shishiwakamaru is ready for
combat!” Koto says.

Shishiwakamaru holds the cloak above his head.

“This is going to be fast. You really have a very ugly face.” Shishiwakamaru says.

Kuwabara gives Shishiwakamaru a serious look.

“You're a playboy...” Kuwabara snorts.

“Let's go!!!” Juri says.

“I'm going to transform you into sashimi!!!” Kuwabara shouts charging towards Shishiwakamaru with his trademark spirit sword out in front.

Shishiwakamaru dodges easily to the side, using his cloak as if he was a matador.

“A blinding technique?!” Kuwabara shouts as the cloak begins to surround him.

“What's thaaaat? Waaaahhh” Kuwabara shouts as the cloak begins to spin and move in a strange way.

The three of you look on in shock as Kuwabara disappears out of the ring.

“I can’t sense Kuwabara’s energy…” Kurama says.

“Is he out of the ring? Can I start the countdown?” Juri asks a bit confused.

“Don't bother. He's disappeared. I don't know where he was sent.” Shishiwakamaru says, looking as if he didn’t care.

“Just so you know, he was asking for it. The spirit of the cloak of darkness! He must be wandering around in Makai or elsewhere...In the end; it mustn't be amusing for him.” Shishiwakamaru says.

“Kuwabara has been carried off! The winner is Shishiwakamaru!” Juri says.

The crowd goes wild with cheers.

“Incredible...He's made Kuwabara disappear!!!” shouted an astonished Koto.

“Now, I’m going to try to please the public...” Shishiwakamaru says.

“Yeah, continue like that!!! Wreck them!!!” shouts the crowd.

“A dismemberment!!!” shouted another demon.

The crowd began to chant.

“We want dismemberment!!!”

“Agreed, the public is king.” Shishiwakamaru says, throwing the crowd a charming smile.

“Death!!!! Death!!!” the crowd changed its chant.

“The public is demanding a massacre!!! Who will follow them?!” Koto says.

Shishiwakamaru rolls the dice and it lands on ‘free’ and ‘The Mask’

“I will go again for my team; however the Mask is not here.” Shishiwakamaru says.

“Heh…we already agreed if the dice showed up either Yusuke or the masked I would take it.” Hiei says, about ready to go up and fight the guy who took Kuwabara to who knows where, except you knew but that’s because you watched this episode.

A voice from behind you and the group caught his attention.

“Hold on.”

Hiei turned and saw the masked fighter; however, he wasn’t convinced it was she. Her aura was extremely lower then the last time he had seen her, and that was with Yusuke the other day.

“Who the Hell are you?” Hiei asks lowly so no one other then you, Kurama, and the masked fighter to hear.

“It’s her Hiei, trust me…I know she lost a lot of her aura, but it’s our original fighter…”

You walk up to her and whisper for only she could hear.

“I need to speak with you master Genkai.”

Her eyes flashed at you, surprise shown for a split second.

She nodded and you and Genkai walked a bit farther from the other two members.

Both Hiei and Kurama narrow their eyes at the two of you, not really trusting the ‘new’ masked fighter.

“I know that you gave Yusuke your energy and you don’t have enough left…please…let me fight this guy. I have a score to settle with him; besides….” You gave her a smile.

“You need whatever energy you have left to fight Otouto Toguro…” you turn around, missing the shock spread across her eyes and as well as across her face, which was still covered by the mask.

You start towards the ring when an arm grabbed your arm.

“(YAFN)-chan I really don’t think you should fight.” Kurama says, looking directly in your eyes.

You looked back.

“What? Don’t you have faith in me?” you ask, sounding hurt.

You wanted to get this guy back for not only insulting you as much as he did, but for making Kuwabara look like a fool. It was guys like him who made Kuwabara have not as many fans as he did; using Kuwabara’s anger against him making his rage blind his good judgment. This had made him one of the least favorite characters in the show, and even less popular then some of the bad guys that were featured in the show!

“It’s not that (YAFN)-chan I have complete faith in your abilities. It’s just I fear he might be a bit out of your league.” Kurama says looking serious as he said those words.

You narrow your eyes at him.

“Don’t tell me I’m out of my league. I was out of my league when I fought four Suzakus' at once. I was out of my league when I fought you while training. I’ll always be out of my league. There is no league for me. As long as I’m here, I will never have a league. I’m a human just like Kuwabara and Yusuke. You don’t think they’re out of their league, fighting the demons that they do. If they can fight demons and survive I can too.” You say, glaring at Kurama who let go of you and sighed.

He knew you were right. There was no choice but to let you fight. HOwever, the fact that you had just said you had fought four Suzakus didn't escape Kurama's or Hiei's ears. However, they decided to ask about that later; most likely get the information from Yusuke himself as he would probably be more willing to share that information.

“Baka onna. You’re worse then the oaf. You are too proud to know when you are not strong enough.” Hiei snorts, a flash of concern and a bit of fear for you crossing across his red cold eyes for a second; you never saw it however.

You turn to him, eyes flashing.

“Don’t lecture me, Hiei. I would think you of all people would under stand why I’m doing this. You’re a proud demon. So don’t tell me something you need to listen to for yourself.” You turn back to the arena, missing the shock that spread across Hiei’s face before it turned to one of thought.

You were right about him as well. He knew he shouldn’t criticize you for being too proud when he him self had a problem in that area. His pride caused him to lose against Yusuke the first time he met him.

“I am going to fight this bastard. I’m going to win. I don’t need your damn sympathy or your damn concern. I am a human and I will prove my self to you and the rest of these fucking bastards once and for all that I’m tougher then I appear.” You add.

You jump into the arena and walk towards the center.

The crowd started to talk a mile a minute.

“What’s she doing?” asks one demon.

“I didn’t know she was a fighter, I thought she was the alternate.”

“I thought she was entertainment with all the songs and theatrical performances she did in all the other rounds.” says another.

The crowd was buzzing at the many reasons you were fighting and why and why they didn’t know you were fighting.

Shishiwakamaru snickered.

“So you came to face me did you, pretty lady?” he asks.

“Just shut the hell up and let’s get this over with. I have a score to settle with you and I’m in no mood right now for your annoying voice.” You say going into a fighting stance.

“I don’t think so.” He says grinning.

He turns to the ref.

“She can’t come in, because she’s the alternate. Unless Urameshi is dead or the masked fighter then she can. That masked fighter over there isn’t the original one, which means they’re cheating! First with alternating fighters through the masked fighter and secondly, having their alternate fight for the masked one who isn’t even part of their team!” Shishiwakamaru says, grinning at how he played you and the team.

“Do you have any proof that the masked fighter is in fact a different one?” Juri asks.

“Make her take off her mask!” Shishiwakamaru says, pointing at the masked fighter.

The crowd was in another uproar, now chanting.

“Take off the mask!”

“It’s the same fighter. She might have a weaker aura then before, but it’s her. Besides, she isn’t your opponent, I am.” You say, glaring at Shishiwakamaru.

“You’re the alternate! You can’t fight unless Yusuke’s dead, or the REAL masked fighter!”

You glared.

“I’m not an alternate! Do you really think I would be here risking my life as well as the rest of my friend’s just to fight? I’m not fucking like you and the rest of the scum here! I don’t put my friend’s needs in front of my own desires! I’m here because I was forced to! I was commanded to or be killed and watch my friend’s be killed too!” you shout.

“By who?” Shishiwakamaru asks, looking at you with doubt.

“Me.”

You stiffened at that voice.

Everyone turned to see Otouto Toguro holding Koto’s microphone.

All the demons were silenced at once. None of them was brave enough to ignore the great Toguro.

“I asked her to come. I wanted to see if she was just as powerful as her brother was. She is (YFN) Urameshi.”

The crowd started to whisper about that, thinking that it was only a rumor that you were Yusuke’s sister. However now Toguro stated it as being true, they wouldn’t even consider messing with you again.

You narrow your eyes at the demon, as well as the rest of your team.

You didn’t know what he was up to, but you knew that it wasn’t good.

“I also sent an invitation to the masked fighter. Yes, the one from earlier is the same one who is here. Why don’t you take off that mask, Genkai, there’s no use in hiding your self now.”

The crowd whispered again, not believing that Team Urameshi had such a powerful ally on their side.

Genkai glared at him before removing her mask, reveling her true age.

Toguro gave a rare smile as Genkai narrowed her eyes at him. He tossed the mic back to Koto, who barely was able to catch it and walked back to where the rest of his team was; which was in the lobby of the stadium.

“Is that girl really Urameshi’s sister?” Karasu asks.

“No.” Toguro says, leaning up against the wall and looking down into the arena.

“Then why confirm those rumors about her?” Karasu asks with interest.

“I don’t want anything or anyone to interfere with my fight with Urameshi. Even if they aren’t related by blood, Urameshi adopted that girl as his sister. If anything should happen to her, he wouldn’t be in any condition to fight me with his true power.” Toguro says, turning his full attention to the fight below.

“I wonder how she’ll do?” Karasu says.

You face Shishiwakamaru who had a huge grin on his face.

“So the rumors are true, eh? Well then, I’ll just have to defeat you and become famous!”

“The only thing you’ll be famous for is being the demon to lose to Yusuke’s little sister.” You say, waiting for Juri to announce the fight to begin.

“Ok people! It seems that this match is underway! Shishiwakamaru vs. Urameshi-chan! Begin!” Juri shouts.

Shishiwakamaru smiles and takes out his sword.

“Item of Darkness: Makokumeizan-ken! (Demonic Wailing Sword of Decapitation!!) ”

Shishiwakamaru scrapes the sword in a semi circle on the floor.

“As long as its bearer’s life is in danger, this sword will summon death! I show you this as a farewell gift on your departure from this life!” Shishiwakamaru shouts.

“That sword is something to notice! It’s emitting an aura even more ominous than Shishiwakamaru himself! (YAFN)-chan better be careful…” Kurama says, looking worriedly into the arena.

“You can tell with one look that Contestant Shishiwakamaru’s Makokumeizan-kun sword is eerie! Just what sort of technique will come leaping out!” Koto says from her seat.

“I probably should have gone after all.” Hiei thinks not liking the odds you had against this guy.

He scratches the floor again before bring the sword above his head and twirling it around. As it twirls he releases his Yoki into the blade; the effect of which causing a moaning like cry to come from the continuing spinning sword.

“What kind of sound is that?!” Juri asks, holding her ears.

“A-amazingly, the sound emanating from contestant Shishiwakamaru’s sword is causing those among the spectators to collapse one after another!” Koto says, holding her ears down as she looks at the audience; watching on as some of the spectators collapse one after another in the stands.

You don’t seem to be effected by the noise. However, that is not the case, you are indeed hearing the horrible sound, but you are not focusing on it. You are focusing on how to kill your opponent.

“Those without the power to resist will have their lives plucked out of them…just by hearing those voices, beckoning them to their deaths! To me, it sounds like a chorus of hymns. How about you, Urameshi-chan?” Shishiwakamaru asks giving an evil laugh.

He then jumps into the air, above you and wields the sword above his head.

You stand back in a defensive pose.

‘Here it comes…time to show them all my power…the power that I’ve worked so hard on for the past three months…’ you think starting to power up your hands.

“Here goes! Take this bitch! Bakuto-dokoshoku-su! (Contact funerary skull burst)” shouts Shishiwakamaru as he brings down this blade, hitting you dead on!

“Bakuto-dokoshoku-su?! An explosion of Yoki turns, as it were, into skulls, which then bury any one they touch! NO (YAFN)-chan!!” shouts Kurama, eyes wide as he stares into the ring.

After the attack engulfed you in its enormous power, it rose up and started towards the audience. Demons screamed and cried in sheer terror as one by one they were devoured by the hideous monstrosities.

Any that came near Kurama and Hiei were instantly killed by Hiei and Kurama, with one blow. Those of the dead dare not even come even ten feet in the direction of Team Toguro, sensing their strength even in the after life.

As soon as the mayhem had settled down, Shishiwakamaru relaxed his stance.

“A demonic flute that whistles an incantation to realm evil, resonating and amplified by the shock waves of an enchanted blade! Combine the two of them into one and you have the Makokumeizan-ken sword! Acting as the interceding, it consumes a good deal of my own spectral power…but I doubt that any trace could remain of anyone who takes it head on.” Smirks Shishiwakamaru

“Contestant Urameshi-chan is nowhere to be seen! Has she been smashed to bits?!” Juri says as she looks over the edge of the ring.

As the dust clears, there you stand, your force field covering you. You dispel it as soon as the threat was gone. You glared Shishiwakamaru down before going back into a defensive stance, ready to fight.

“That’s (YAFN)-chan for you!” says a relieved Kurama.

“If that’s all you got to show, then you have no chance. I’ve trained hard and my powers have improved since the last time I fought. You won’t have to worry about becoming famous, though it’s not how you’ll want to…by having me kick your ass.” You say, looking him dead in the eyes.

“You impudent little rat! You barely escaped me once and you’ve gotten full of your self! I’m going to hit you dead-on no matter what it takes!!” Shishiwakamaru shouts.

“Enough talk! I’m going to finish this here and now!” you shout, running towards him.

You begin to think of a song and find the perfect one.


Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

(He snarls and lifts his sword up, ready to attack. You bring down your spirit bo hard and have it clash with his solid sword. The two of you stand there for a few moments before you push back and away from him, doing a few back flips in the air before landing low in a crouched like position. You then charge at him again, however right before you reach him, you spin to the right and swing your bo around whacking him in the back of his head. He screams out in pain before turning a fang face and glowing red eyes at your direction.)

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside

(“Bitch…you’ve been worth more trouble then I thought. I’m going to finish you no matter what it takes!” he says, preparing to unleash that horrible attack again.
The crowd looks down at him in horror.
“I-is he planning on using that technique from before again?!
“Fuck this! I’m getting out of here!” shouts another demon.
Demons in the audience start to make their way out of the stadium in a panic.
Koto looks up from half hidden under her desk as the crowd starts to disappear out of the stadium.
“Oh my! There’s no end to the spectators who are fleeing before the terror of Shishiwakamaru’s technique! A-and if fact, I’m ready to run away myself…” Koto says, shrinking back down.
You continue to sing and as Shishiwakamaru began to swing his sword again you block it in mid spin with your bo and push it aside before bringing out your other bo and struck him hard in the stomach. Spit and blood shot out of his lips before he skidded backwards. He coughed a bit before looking back up. There you were coming straight at him with full speed. However, he was able to dodge your attack this time and jumped far enough away where he could try again using that deadly attack)


We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

(Koto then gulps and sits up a little more. “Even tho Urameshi-chan tried to defuse the attack, it seems Shishiwakamaru will still be able to use that attack…but I’ll hang in there and continue my play-by-play! In the ring, Juri…! Huh? Juri?” Koto says, looking into the ring.
Standing in the doorway, out of the way of any danger is the girl in question tossing up her mic.
“There’s no way I’m staying in there!” Juri says.
You stand where you are, knowing that it was too late as he already began to unleash the powerful attack.)


Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

(In the stands, a few demons are staying.
“Everyone is being such cowards!” says a shaking demon.
“Yeah…there’s no way I’m missing out on this fight!” says another, both of them looking ready to pee their pants.
Koto looks in admiration at the few who are brave enough to continue watching the deadly match.
“There are a number of those who have not run off and are putting up a brave front to remain. And the match, of course, continues!”
“The power of the Makokumeizan-ken goes beyond just the Bakoto dakushisko-so technique! Onko-shobakuheki! (Hail of Rancer Restraining Wall!).” Shishiwakamaru shouts.
Out of the sword comes a rectangular wall that traps both you and Shishiwakamaru with in its glowing barriers.
“The Oko wall will prevent you from being able to keep your distance, to say nothing of running away!” Shishiwakamaru laughs evilly at his plan to finish you off for the last time.
“Now what will you do, Urameshi-chan?” snickers Shishiwakamaru.
You look around at your surroundings and knew what you had to do, you kept singing however you charged him, not letting him talk again. He was surprised by your attack and had to bring up his sword in order to block you attack. However, the rectangular wall was still in place and didn’t seem that it would be moving anytime soon. You continued to deliver an onward attack that he kept blocking.)


We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside

(You were able to push him up against the wall the he had created, however he ducked underneath one of your attacks and sliced at your back. Luckily for you, you were barely able to escape it, however you needed to have a new shirt as this one had a nice rip in the back. You growled as you continued to sing, this time you jumped into the air and did a somersault before landing behind him and ducking as he swung at you again. You swiped your leg and knocked him off his feet, however he was able to do a back flip and get himself right again.)

We were meant to live for so much more
Then we lost ourselves
Somewhere we live inside

(You swung at him again, however he was able to block your now double bo attack and push you away. He was growing angrier by the second and you knew that you needed to finish this. You were starting to grow tired not just physically but from this entire ‘cat and mouse’ game. You dispelled your bos and began to focus the energy in your hands. Your eyes closed as your entire body was surrounded by a golden purple light. Everyone looked at you with interest.)

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah


(Shishiwakamaru growls and lifts up his sword over his head; ready to slice you through.
“Why you!”
He runs towards you, his sword out in front ready to run you through.
“DIE!!”
Your hair flew up in the air as if there was some wind around you and a small sparks seemed to be radiating off your body. You opened your eyes just when the demon was about to attack. You stepped backwards with just your right foot before bringing back your hands which pulsed with electricity.)

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?

(“Shougekiha-kei!!” (Light Shock Wave) you shouted, right before singing the next verse of the song. Your hands seemed to be sending out bolts of lighting. It looked just like Yusuke’s shotgun, however they were bolts of lighting.
“How fierce! The Shougekiha-kei!” shouts Kurama, impressed by the amount of power you unleashed with that attack.
Shishiwakamaru’s eyes widened and he found he couldn’t stop himself from his running charge at you. He was running right into your attack and couldn’t stop himself.)


We were meant to live for so much more
Then we lost ourselves
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

(The entire rectangular force field was filled with a bring glowing light, blinding everyone however, your voice was the only thing to be coming clear from within it. Once the light dissipated, everyone could see that the force field was down and there lay a slightly singed Shishiwakamaru on the ground. He was still alive but it appeared that he was barely as such. Your body began to lessen its glow before you let out a breath, closing your eyes and finally ending your song.)

“W-what are you, the devil?” Shishiwakamaru asks as you walk up to him and look down at him.

His eyes were glazed over as if he was about to pass out any moment.

“Nope, just Yusuke’s lil sis who needed to let off some steam.” You said with a smile and a wink.

“You put up a great fight, but in the end the best won out.”

Shishiwakamaru looked up at you for a moment before chuckling.

“Nicely put…your appearance…the way you look right now…” he began as he looked up at you in wonderment.

You had dust over your clothes as well as a few scratches from the fight. He had gotten you with a few good hits with his sword, although you hadn’t noticed it. Your hair was now out of its ponytail and lightly blew around your face at the small gentle breeze. You stood in the glare of the spotlight that lit the stadium.

“I might have fallen…for you…” he finished.

“It seems you already did.” You say with a warm smile.

Shishiwakamaru gave one last smile before his eyes rolled into the back of his dead and his last breath left him.

“You saw that right?” asks Toguro.

The rest of his team didn’t say a word.

“Even if she isn’t related to Urameshi through his blood, she has the spirit and will power of his blood line.”

Toguro looks at you and then at Genkai.

“If Genkai had given even half of her power to this girl and the other to Urameshi, Urameshi would still out rank her. This girl is only a taste of the type of power I will be looking forward to face when Urameshi fights me.”

“This doesn’t change the fact that I will kill Genkai and the only way to do that is with POWER!!!” Toguro shouts, making a fist.


“Alright! Girl power!!” shouts Juri, finally coming back into the ring.

“And so…umm…” she looks at you as you look at her, with a faint smile.

“…well, whatever! The winner is Urameshi-chan!!!” Juri says, holding up your arm in victory.

Everyone in the audience cheered, more then happy to see the demon maniac die, especially for going after them.

As soon as Juri lets go of your hand you sighed and headed back to where the rest of the group was.

"You fought excellent (YAFN)-chan." Kurama said with a smile.

You glared at him, which made him blink at you and lean back a bit.

"Don't you DARE ever doubt me again, got that?" you said with a serious face.

All he could do was nod. He remembered from experience from hanging out with you that it wasn't a good thing to make you mad. Hiei snickered but also earned a glare from you as well.

"Don't think you're off the hook either. You get in my way and I'll use my new technique on you next." you said, making Hiei even show a shimmer of fear.

However, it disappeared as fast as it had came.

You then let out a breath and smiled, back to your happy-go-lucky self once more.

“(YAFN)-chan!”

You turned around and grinned wide as you found Kuwabara running towards you and the rest of the group. You waved at him as he ran over and finally stopped. He was a little out of breath but had a huge grin on his face.

"You were flippin' awesome! Where did you learn that attack?!" he asked.

"Well, not too long ago actually..." you said scratching the back of your head with a cheeky grin.

"Actually I found out while I was in the ring." you said with a nervous chuckle.

Kuwabara did an anime fall, while Kurama and Hiei sweat dropped. Only you would find something out in the middle of a fight.

"Are you serious?!"

"Ummmm...." you said scratching the back of your head. "It was kinda cool tho wasn't it?"

You were trying to revert the conversation to something else. However it didn't work as you got weird looks from the entire team.

'Geeze....' the guys thought as you looked away whistling.
