Chapter 5

"Well there is a nice turnout as the contestants make ready to partake in the first competition." Yusuke said.

"Who are you talkin' too?" Kuwabara asked.

"Security has had to settle the stands as the contestants took the field."

"Dude there's only nine of us in here."

"The first competition will take place on the pull up bars and gymnastic bar."

"This is gettin' weird." Kuwabara noticed Yusuke was using a water bottle as a microphone.

"Shut up I'm commentating here. What does the prize have to say?" Yusuke stuck his water bottle in front of Kurama.

"Ummm… hi?"

"That's all you have to say?"

"…Yeah." Kurama nodded unsure.

"Now we make our way to the first event."

"Shut up Detective!" Hiei yelled.

"Ready beansprout?" The demon asked.

"Since I'm the challenger, I'm giving you the chance to at least try."

"Very generous of you, shrimp." The demon grabbed the pull up bar.

"As soon as he pulls up and leaves the ground his scoring starts."

"Yusuke put the water bottle away." Kurama tried to coax the bottle away from the teen.

The demon flipped onto the bars and used his tail to do a series of flips and aerial moves. He landed and his score was a 7.5.

"Beat that!"

Hiei pulled on the bars and jumped into the air.

9.5!

"The score is 1 to 0 with Hiei in the lead. Our next challenge is strength. Hiei weighing… He's just told me that if I say I die. Hiei's maxed out at 408lbs. Can the demon leader beat him?"

…

"The demon just benched 409lbs! The demon wins this round."

####

"The last competition is for speed. The demon leader is up first…"

"Shut up!" Kuwabara tackles Yusuke.

The demon ran the treadmill for one minute at 50 mph.

"That will be hard to beat!"

"Dude where did you come from? I just had you in a headlock!"

"Hiei steps up onto the treadmill starts the treadmill, he's running, and … he just broke the treadmill."

"…"

"I guess Hiei won! Score is two to one, with Hiei as the victor."

####

"So whattcha goin' ta do with Kurama, Hiei?" Yusuke asked nudging Hiei.

"What the h*** are you talking about?"

"You've won Kurama. You can do whatever you want."

"I was just doing him a favor nothing else."

"Well that's too bad… Because me and Kuwabara already made reservations for two at the nice, fancy little restaurant in the hotel."

"What?"

"They're at 8:00. Bye!" Yusuke ran into his room and locked the door.

####

"I don't mind eating out." Kurama smiled as he dug through his suitcase.

"Really?" Hiei answered shocked.

"Yeah, as long as it's already paid for by Yusuke and Kuwabara." Kurama smiled thinking of the expensive dishes he would eat and bill the tab to Yusuke and Kuwabara. "I'll get dressed." Kurama confirmed and dug threw his suitcase for something to wear to dinner.
