The Defeat
Yusuke grinned rakishly at the little demon before him. "Well ain't this ironic?" he said. "The last time I was in one of these things, it was me and Yomi facing off. I lost that one, but this one's going a bit differently."
Shura, his opponent, glared as he panted. "I am better than my father!"
In the stands, Kurama slid his eyes towards Yomi who was sitting nearby. The blind former king shook his head at his son's ambition.
Hiei leaned into the kitsune's side. "How does this one end?" he wanted to know.
"Shura is wounded and winded, and Yusuke's second wind is in it's prime. If he does what he needs to in this fight, he can certainly win," Kurama replied without taking his eyes away from the ring.
"Hn. I thought he didn't want to be king."
Kurama blinked. "I don't know what's changed."
The fight continued. Yusuke punched, and Shura dodged. Barely. The clone kicked out for the former detective's head. The foot is caught and the boy thrown down.
"Give up," Yusuke murmured.
"No! I will be king!"
The half demon shook his head. He raised his finger in the customary way, and something tightened low in Kurama to see such a familiar sight.
The cry of "Spirit Gun!" rang out, and a wash of blue holy power enveloped the arena.
"He's won," Hiei said.
"Yes," the kitsune replied breathlessly. "All hail King Yusuke."
Red eyes slanted suspiciously toward the other demon. "Indeed."
"He's done it!" Koto screamed into the microphone. "Yusuke Urameshi, the former scourge of this world has won the third Makai Unification Tournament. Hail King Yusuke!"
There was a fairly negative outcry from the stands, and Yusuke growled. "Yeah, one of you wanna come down here and make something of it? Plenty of power left in this puppy." He brandished his finger at the spectators. He caught sight of Kurama's flame of hair and winked up at him.
The matter was settled.
A/N: So let me explain what's going on here. I have two other stories in this fandom going already, so I figured: why not add a third? This one will be a bit more manageable in the way that the chapters will never be longer than 500 words. It'll be great.
