Yu Yu Hakusho: A Sibling Story

Deadly Fighter! Kurama vs. Gama!

I gulped as I stood over my brother's bedside. "How's he doing, Botan?" I asked, concerned. She sighed sadly. "Ammara, I'm doing everything I can to help him. It's gonna take some time, dear!" I bit my lip and clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms. "WELL WORK HARDER!!!!!" I yelled, banging my fist on the table. "WE NEED HIS HELP!!!"

A hand gently touched my shoulder. "Jewels, yelling at Botan won't make her work any faster. She'll help Kuwabara. You just have to believe in her," Kurama said, holding me close. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, bad news reared its ugly head.

"Attention, please. The third round of the Dark Tournament will begin immediately," the announcer for the Tournament Committee said. "WHAT?! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!" Yusuke yelled angrily. "Furthermore, the Tournament Committee has unanimously decided to begin the match from the team diagrams, starting from the left." Please don't let it be us first! I thought, clasping my hands together. No such luck.

"Team Urameshi and Team Mashou. Please report to the ring." I groaned. Just great! We had to fight, and Kuwabara wasn't healed yet! I covered my mouth, crying a little. Kurama held me tightly. "We'll be alright, Jewels," he reassured me. I nodded. "The fox is right. Suck it up, and shut the hell up!" Luna added. I looked down.

"You aren't helping!" Yusuke yelled. Luna growled. She was PISSED! "No Yusuke, she's right," I said. "If I'm going to be on this team, I have to learn to get used to injuries." Luna nodded and Yusuke scoffed as we walked to the ring. "Do you think Kuwabara will be alright, Luna?" I asked, my resolve to end this round hardening.

She nodded. "Takes a lot more than a few punches to keep THAT idiot down," She said, smiling a little. I smiled. It was true, after all. Kuwabara had survived a demon that broke his bones, a group of demons who tried to kill us and take over the Living World, the Toguro Brothers, and, so far, two rounds of a deadly demon tournament! He couldn't die now! Nor would he!

I walked to the room and smiled. From the sidelines, I heard soft groans of pain. I gasped and turned. I was surprised to see Kuwabara on the sidelines! Being supported by Botan, but still there! I gasped and smiled. "Easy now," Botan said, carefully guiding him to the edge. "Well, look who's out of his sick bed!" Yusuke said sarcastically. "Now that he's fully recovered, I'm sure he'll be a big help."

I smiled and Kurama's eyes and face were like stone. "Kuwabara is not the only one low on his power, Yusuke." He turned to Genkai (at this point, I had already figured out who the Masked Fighter was.). "That special attack drained her power considerably," Kurama said. He looked at Hiei, whose hand was still black.

Hiei still can't use his dominant hand, I thought. How are we going to beat this team without him? Will he be able to fight? Will Luna? I had a feeling that if Hiei couldn't fight, neither would Luna. A strong gust of wind that blew as fast as a hurricane, and Team Mashou's leader was revealed.

He had red hair, icy blue eyes, a single horn atop his head, and a sharp tooth that protruded from his mouth after he spoke. "I'll go and take these humans, then," he said, his arms behind his back. He spoke with an unmistakable Irish brogue. First Australian, and now Irish? This Tournament has some weird demons here.... I thought, sweat dropping.
