Akina's POV
At first we were staring at Team Masho after their interesting entrance, however we all started to hear grunting and Botan's familiar voice saying, "Easy now." This made myself and Yusuke look over to the source to see Botan assisting the still badly injured Kuwabara back into the arena. "Oh, look, he's off his sick bed. Now that he's fully recovered I'm sure he'll be great help." Yusuke says sarcastically but thankfully in a low tone so that the enemy may not hear his obvious doubt in our chances. Kurama stands really close to Yusuke as I hear him share some information to him, "Kuwabara is not the only one low on his power." I then note that Kurama is stood so that he could look in a particular direction, and Yusuke notices this also. We both look at where Kurama is looking and see that he is speaking of the Masked Fighter. No doubt it was that technique that must have weakened her. "That special attack drained her considerably." Kurama states, deeming my thoughts correct. Yusuke gasps and looks back at Kurama as he asks, "So, it's three non-gimps against five of them?" And before I can speak Kurama says, "Worse. Hiei still can't use his arm." We all look to Hiei who is casually standing nearby and showing no obvious signs of weakness. But he looks to us as he is clearly aware that we are discussing his situation.
"Who wants to begin? The first can be captain." Speaks a deep sounding voice from one of the members of Team Masho. After that waves of blue Spirit Energy spiral around a member of their team wearing the cloak that has a white pentagon symbol on it, making the cloak fly off of this figure, revealing a muscular male Demon with a small horn in the middle of his forehead and long, pointed ears and a canine tooth on his left side resting on his lower lip. He also possesses thick, shoulder-length, red hair and blue eyes. And he seems to be wearing a white garment, resembling a toga, with white, baggy pants which are held up by a blue obi sash and arm guards, both sporting a prominent red gem in the centre. "I'll go and take those Humans then." The Demon says in a gentle Irish sounding accent.
"Jin the Wind Master. Well that would explain who this team is." Kurama speaks immediately after seeing the opponent volunteering to fight first. "You know these jokers?" Yusuke asks him. "Indeed, most Demons do. Team Masho must be a pseudonym for this tournament." Kurama answers as he turns to look at us. "Their actual names are the Shinobi of the Spirit World." This makes me breath out, "Shinobi?" Whilst Yusuke asks, "So what the hell does that mean?" Kurama gives us a very serious look as he informs us, "They are stealth fighters, deadly mercenaries to the highest bid. A dispute arises in Spirit World, and they "solve" it, in secret. You're familiar with their other name, aren't you? The Ninja." Jin continues to walk over into the ring, making his way over to Koto, who says, "Team captains, please decide the battle terms." Both Yusuke and Jun stand in the centre, and all is quiet at first until Jin decides to break the silence with his suggestion of the terms, "Let's fix these stakes simple enough. One to one to one till I'm a tower on my feet holding the five." Yusuke doesn't remove the determined look on his face as he says, "Whatever he said." Koto looks between the two before announcing, "Jin has asked for a series of one on one matches with the advancing team taking five wins, and Yusuke gives the nod." The crowd begin to cheer at the words being announced. Goro looks to me as he says, "I am concerned Akina." This makes me turn away from Jin and Yusuke circling each other to look at him before asking, "Why is that, Goro?" Goro looks around before shrugging and saying, "I'm not sure, but due to them deciding to rush you all into yet another fight I can't help but feel there is more foul play that is yet to come from this." My ears pick up Jin's voice, curtesy of Goro's advance hearing, "A darn near pleasant wind be filling the air now." I turn to see the two standing incredibly close now. "Tell a person by the wind and yours the kind I like Urameshi." In hearing this I look back at Goro as I say, "If so, then I can say that this Wind Master is not playing a part in it." Goro looks over at him and takes a quick sniff of the air before saying, "He doesn't smell like trouble."
