A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Kurama vs. Karasu

Third POV

Kurama walked towards the ring as he now comes face to face with Karasu.

"From the sounds of things, everybody here seems to be a big fan of the tal and gruesome Karasu!" Koto commented,

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Keiko voices out, "You couldn't pay me for that vampire wanna be weirdo!"

"I don't know, he does have some beautiful." Shizuru said,

"Not beautiful the way he threatened me and Kurama. I WISH A DEATH UPON YOUR FIGHT!!!" Ranumi yelled in anger.

"Don't forger your stretches Koenma sir!" Jorge says and noticed that he was holding the weapon Koenma was suppose to be holding, "Huh, this was supposed to be Koenma's. Guess I'll just use it to scare people." He then raised the spiked bat cheering on Kurama. They then started to cheer on Kurama to win the fight.

"Damn it. If they're gonna start a riot in the stands, I'm not gonna be the one to save them." Yusuke said looking towards were the girls, Ryuji and the blue ogre are,

"Well I'm not gonna stop them if they just want to release some anger or frustration out." Hayami said crossing her arms,

Kuwabara ran towards Kurama for a small talk, catching the others off guard. "Hey, Kurama wait. Did you use that medicine stuff that Suzuka gave you?" He asked,

"Actually, I took some about two minutes ago." Kurama said, "I ran a few experiments and found out that it takes a considerable amount of times to absorb in my body and change me." He explained,

"Hah! I don't think you should take that thing multiple times now buddy. It could be bad." Kuwabara said in worry,

"There is no way I would've show up here without testing it first." Kurama said,

"So what does it do when you take it?" He asked,

"Suzuka was right in assuming that it would transform me. However there is a time limit and I could only stay in that form for fifteen minutes." Kurama said, "I'm not worried though. Fifteen minutes is more than enough." He then walked up to the center a few feet from where Karasu is standing,

Juri announced the fight to begin as Kurama took a stance while Karasu just glared.

"You even look extremely brave... or extremely foolish." Karasu said, making Kurama narrowed his eyes and glare hard at him, "It's rare for anyone who has seen my capabilities to go through through fighting me. I'm curious why you subject yourself to this. Could it be something personal... like your chosen mate perhaps." He said,

"Don't flatter yourself, Karasu. I am here to defeat you so you could not give Ranumi the fear of being taken away by force." Kurama said coldly, "And by the way, I advice you not to underestimate me."

Karasu then lifted his hand a little emitting his dark green energy around it. Kurama responded and made rose petals appear in the palm of his hand as it swirls around him. Knowing that it would take time for the effects to go off.

"Petals and Thorns." Kurama said, raising his right arm up while the other was lowered as the rose petals protected him in the ring,

Karasu lowered his hand as he casually walks over to Kurama. As he walked through the raining petals, he felt a paper like cut from one on his cheeks, making it bleed. Though after realizing this, his wound healed and just kept walking.

"I must say Kurama, they are absolutely beautiful like that water lily girl of yours. However, they are also weak and lacking in substance." Karasu said as he just kept walking, "Traits that must've been inherited from you." He then raised his hand showing that small explosions were destroying the petals with touching it, catching the fox demon off guard as he chuckled, "Well, well, well, perhaps I was the one underestimated by you. My hands are not the soul source of my power, they're merely vessels." He explained, "Poor Kurama, it seems you entirely misunderstood me. You aren't able to see my powers so you feel secure, but it's everywhere even in the air you breathe. You can't escape and it's all around you. It's inside of you, why don't you make things easier and submit." He then disappeared in speed,
