"Here's the next match with Team Naraku's Onigumo versus the Yukirashi team's Miroku! This is the first human against human match; Onigumo being the only human on the Naraku team while Yukirashi has four! Are both fighters ready?" Koto paused in her announcements to get Miroku's affirmative nod and Onigumo's cocky smile. Then she raised her hand and lifted the microphone again as Miroku's violet eyes met Onigumo's steel gray.
"Let the violence begin!"
The two fighters crashed together, two long daggers scraping against the staff that Miroku had aimed at Onigumo's head. They quickly jumped back, both eyeing each other warily. They had both obviously underestimated the other. Onigumo shifted into a fighting crouch and circled towards Miroku, daggers ready and willing to spill the monk's blood.
Miroks frs frustrated that he had been chosen for this opponent. After all, his powers were mostly useless against a human, even one as vile and disgusting as this one. The two continued to crash together with sudden bursts of speed before continuing to circle without missing a step.
Outside of the ring, Miroku's team mates were looking worried. Inuyasha had his arms crossed with his usual scowl on, but his golden eyes were dim with concern. Keiko was the first one to speak the fear they all had. "They seem to be evenly matched."
"Keh! Miroku won't let us down!" Inuyasha immediately countered with a confident remark, but his eyes never left the fight, and the girls were not reassured.
"We can't afford another loss like mine," Sango said bitterly. Kagome smiled at her friend in sympathy. "I don't think that was your fault, Sango. There was something weird about that demon. Besides, we can still afford one more loss, and I know Inuyasha for one would die before allowing himself to even look like he's losing. My sister, on the other hand, we never can figure out."
The teasing tone seemed to cheer up Sango a bit as the attention was turned to Keiko, who was torn between taking the bait or continuing to watch the fight worriedly. She chose to ignore her sister and attempted to continue watching the match. It was a bit difficult though, since she was still acutely aware of someone staring intently at her.

Sure the stands were filled, and there were more than likely thousand of demons throwing looks of disgust their way, but this was different. The feeling she got was not one of contempt, but of something else... appraisal, perhaps? She couldn't really tell, but the sensation made her shiver inwardly.
Covertly, she allowed her gaze to stray from the two combating males and sweep through the throng of mixed demonic species. She noticed all the looks she had been expecting. Hateful expressions directed at her and her team.

Suddenly, her eyes caught and held a pair of sparkling emeralds, causing her to gasp at their intensity. She blinked, focusing on the red haired, green eyed man who seemed, for all intent and purposes, to be gifting her with his sole attention.
'It's him....Kurama.' She thought, her heart skipping a beat, much to her embarrassment.
"Right. You don't have a crush at all, Keiko. It's all in my imagination. Want me to get reservations for you two at the hotel restaurant?" Keiko whipped her head around to find her sister's eyes flickering between her and Kurama with an amused smile playing across her features.
"I wasn't... He was just... No!" Keiko's frantic babble was drowned out by the loud giggles from her younger sister. Keiko glared at her, barely noticing as another clash was heard behind them along with a pained cry from Miroku.
"You're a terror. I suppose your little glances towards the leader of a certain team mean nothing at all? And I don't have a crush on Kurama!" That the other two members of their team had now turned their rapt attention towards the sibling spat went unnoticed as Kagome straightened her shoulders indignantly.
"I haven't been looking at Yusuke at all!" Kagome answered hotly, wincing when Keiko smirked triumphantly. "Yusuke now? You barely know him and you're calling him by his first name!"
"Excuse me! Didn't you just call the red head Kurama? That's his first name too, you know!"
"I've had a conversation with him!" At this point Inuyasha interfered, much to his later regret.
"I caught Kagome in the hallway talking to both of them! Keh! What is it with you two, trying to give us away to our competition?" Kagome ground her teeth as Keiko's eyes narrowed suspiciously after Inuyasha's offhand information.
"Oh? And why were you talking to them, Kagome?"
By this time, as usual, the two young women's auras had flared up quite a bit during their banter. Noticeably enough, that most of the stadium's occupants had quieted down and began to watch them instead of the two men in the ring. In fact, even Miroku and Onigumo seemed to have lost interest in their fight, as they and Koto stared at the squabbling sisters.
"Why I was talking to them is no one's business but my own!"
"Really? What possible business could you have with Kurama?" Keiko's eyebrow arched as she inquired. "And Yusuke." She quickly added.
"And Yusuke? So really you just want to know what I said to Kurama. Or maybe swoon over trying to imagine what he sounded like when he spoke." Kagome smirked at her sister's growing blush that was only part anger.
"Shut up, Kagome. You know that's not true!"
"Do I?" Kagome's eyes were sparkling wickedly as she managed to turn everything around into embarrassing her sister. This game was always the most fun.
"Fine!" Keiko finally growled, "I'll admit I kind of like Kurama if you admit that you like Yusuke!"
Kagome considered the options of this for a moment. Well, it's not like Keiko would go and tell anyone, and Inuyasha and Sango would just roll their eyes so... What could it hurt?
"Okay, I kinda like Yusuke."
"And I like Kurama."
"And we have confessions, folks!" The amplified voice of Koto broke through the girls' otherwise occupied thoughts, causing them both to focus back on the outside world.
"These two girls of the Yukirashi team, Kagome Higurashi and Keiko Yukimura have just confessed that... um..." Koto trailed off as the fast moving miko took an arrow and threw it at her, not bothering to pick up her bow and aim. Koto jumped out of the way and continued chattering. "Hey! Leave me out of this! I'm just calling it as I see it. So folks, here we have two girls who now look ready to do battle! Apparently they were so caught up in their argument that they didn't notice everyone was watching them!"
Kagome stopped in mid stride as she went towards the platform. Her voice came out a bit squeaky as she met Keiko's horrified eyes, both of them thinking what Kagome managed to say. "Everyone?"
Indeed, it seemed as if everyone was watching them. Including a very flustered kitsune and a stunned and speechless Spirit Detective.
Kurama was the first to recover, clearing his throat as he registered the leering looks that the surrounding demon onlookers were shooting him and Yusuke. 'This is.... very awkward.'
~I'll say. Your woman was denying her desire for you, Shuichi. You will have to punish her for that later.~
Kurama almost choked at the audacity of the fox spirit.
'She's not my woman, Youko!'
~Not yet, at least.~
Kurama growled inwardly as he once again focused on the now brightly blushing girl at the edge of the ring.
Yusuke had whipped his head around to glare at all the demons leering at them, looking anywhere but down at the two furiously blushing girls. Of course, her head was ducked down and she was doing her best not to look at hitherther. Not that he'd snuck a glance. She'd said she liked him. Him!
As Kurama sat there arguing with his other self, Yusuke smirked a little, finally turning to face the girls down below. She looked cute standing there blushing. "Hell yeah," Yusuke muttered to himself, only heard by the kitsune sitting next to him.
Kurama finally gave up on the banter with his darker half as he turned his attention to Yusuke when he spoke. "You do realize what this means, don't you, Yusuke?"
The dark haired young man smirked at his red headed friend. "Why whatever do you mean, Kurama? That people will be snickering forever now? Or that we'll actually have to talk with them now? Or that we soon (hopefully) won't be single and available and no more girls will be able to swoon over us?"
Kurama chuckled and shook his head. Leave it to Yusuke to look on the brighter side of an embarrassing situation. "You do know we may eventually have to fight them, correct?"
Yusuke didn't miss a beat. "Sure. But what's a few beatings between friends. We just make sure we go against one of their friends and not them and there we go!"'
"And what about those of us who would have to face your women, detective? What are we supposed to do?" Both boys started at the dark tone in Hiei's voice as he responded to Yusuke's 'reasoning'.
"Yeah, Urameshi. You're forgetting about me and the shrimp." Kuwabara worriedly voiced.
"Um... Don't kill them and don't let them kill you?" Yusuke said weakly. Kurama couldn't help but agree. This wasn't looking well.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Miroku had turned his attention back to the fight between himself and Onigumo, now that the amusing scene involving the sisters of his team had played out. All that was left was to watch them blush, which had its merit, but he much preferred to finish this match quickly so that he might go and perhaps "comfort" one (if not both) of the girls. Bringing up his shakujou, Miroku automatically went on the offensive, intent on ending and winning the match.
The two humans clashed together once again, neither willing to back down and both determined to win. The members of the Yukirashi team cheered on their team mate as he landed a few powerful blows to his opponent in between recieving a few himself. The battle continued to rage on until Onigumo got in a lucky shot, the blow knocking Miroku completely out of the ring.

"And Miroku has been knocked from the ring by a powerful blow from Naraku's Onigumo! One... Two..."
As Koto continued to count, Kagome and Sango gasped as Inuyasha growled out his displeasure.
"Miroku!"
"Oh, no! He needs to get up. Koto's already started the ten count!"
"Grr! Stupid monk, get your ass back in that ring!!"
"...Four..."
Keiko would have shouted encouragingly to her team mate as well, but something in the ring had caught her attention. Onigumo was smiling wickedly, as he reached into his clothing to withdraw a small slip of paper.
'What is he doing?'
As she watched, the solitary human member of Team Naraku began to chant something unintelligible to Keiko from her vantage point, but as the paper in his hand began to glow an eerie purplish black, her eyes grew wide in understanding and she whirled to where Miroku was just now staggering to his feet.
"Miroku!! Get back into the ring, NOW!!"
"...Seven..."
Immediately, Miroku took a step forward at the same moment Onigumo flung the glowing paper in the monk's direction. Miroku was just at the edge of the ring when suddenly, he felt an incredible pressure wrap around his entire body, freezing it to the spot.
"...Eight..."
Realization dawned on Miroku, as well as the other members of the Yukirashi team, at the exact same moment. Onigumo had cast a binding spell on an ofuda before casting it in Miroku's direction. He couldn't move and no matter how much he struggled the binding would not break.

"...Nine..."
With one last ditch effort, Miroku concentrated with all his might to break the spell so that he might dive back into the ring that was, sadly, only inches away.
"...TEN! And the winner, by way of a count out, is Onigumo!"
Immediately after he was declared winner, Onigumo calmly strode forward and released the binding, smirking triumphantly at the murderous glare from his former opponent. "Bad luck there. Looks like you should have done a bit more training, eh monk?"
In his fury Miroku swung his staff upon the unsuspecting Onigumo, knocking him clear across the arena back into the waiting arms of his sadistically grinning team mates. Kagura sneered, her sharp fangs bared as Naraku laughed loudly, his red eyes glowing maniacally.
Miroku refused to let his defeat show to the opposing team as he turned back to his friends, but it was clear to them upon seeing his face that he was ashamed he hat bet been that tiny bit faster, not been slightly more skilled. Kagome and Keiko took pity upon him as he walked cautiously back to him and both reached forward to hug him.
Inuyasha and Sango both shook their heads in disbelief at the sisters as they waited for the inevitable...
"KYAAAH!"
"HENTAI!"
Slap!
Bam!
Thunk
The inu hanyou winced, having experienced Keiko's slap before. Once had definitely been enough. Kagome's fist packed quite a wallop as well and with the double dose the monk had just recieved, Inuyasha predicted he would be carting Miroku back to their room once their match was over.
From the stands, a red haired kitsune and black haired human were sporting matching smirks, despite only moments before having been practically snarling at the hentai monk.
Back in the arena, the wind sorceress Kagura had calmly taken the stage and was watching the two remaining fighters with a cool smirk that infuriated Inuyasha. Two losses because the other team fucking cheated didn't mean there would be anymore.

Inuyasha stepped forward, only to have one slim hand wrap around his wrist. He whipped around, surprise in his angry amber eyes as he saw who had stopped him. Worried brown eyes met his and Keiko shook her head. "You can't fight this one Inuyasha."
>"W>"What? let me go, I'll fight whoever the hell I want!" Inuyasha bared his teeth and Keiko stiffened, her eyes sparking angrily as he attempted to keep going. She ground her teeth, wondering briefly why no one ever listened to her.
"They want you to go Inuyasha! You can't fight this one! Let me go instead. I have a feeling we'll be out of this round, and out of this tournament if you go. You saw what happened the last time. They've got tricks up their sleeves!" She saw the hesitation in Inuyasha's eyes and pleaded with her eyes to let her go in his stead.
"Team Yukirashi, we're waiting for your fighter. Either pick a fighter or forfeit!" Koto's voice was loud and clear and Inuyasha's ears flattened as he heard the snickers and comments of the demons in the stands.
"Sorry Keiko, but she's mine." Inuyasha pulled his arm from her grasp harshly and managed to get almost within touching distance of the arena.
"Sit, boy! Keiko, go. Inuyasha, you can fight Naraku. The leader remember? That means he'll be pretty strong."

Keiko smiled warmly at her sister as Kagome listed reasons why the next fight would be a better challenge for Inuyasha.
"Team Yukirashi, you have... Oh, never mind then. The next fight will be Keiko Yukimura versus Kagura!" Koto danced back to the edge of the arena as the two opponents situated themselves at opposite ends of the arena.
"Damn it! She was my opponent!" Inuyasha howled, lunging for the arena, only to be brought down by another, "Sit, boy!"
