"Anko here for the last round one matchup! Let's get things started! First fighter come to the ring, Twilight Sazuka from Outlaw Star! Next we have the ever dangerous Kimimaro! From Yu Yu Hakusho here is Kazuma Kuwabara! Fullmetal Alchemist's final entry is none other than Greed! The moment many fangirls have waited for is here, welcome Inuyasha! Urd the second Goddess in the tournament is next! The seventh fighter is.... Marik Ishtar! Now time for the oh so sneaky spy Kabuto! Ichigo Kurosaki enters to thunderous applause! The final one is Haruhara Haruko, she has brought her guitar with her, not that it will do her any good!

Now ring that bell to start this star studded clash! The two orange haired sword wielders Ichigo and Kuwabara start things off. Marik targets Urd and they immediately send waves of magic and power back and forth. Haruhara sets her sights on Inuyasha and grabs his ears. He pushes her away and makes a run for it. Looks like Greed and Kabuto have made an alliance with a handshake and matching psychopathic grins. They are quickly interrupted by Sazuka. She crashes down upon them causing the two to scatter like roaches. Marik glows and shows off his millennium rod, almost hypnotizing Urd but she shakes it off. He summons the Winged Dragon Ra! It nearly blocks out the sun with it's massive and quite impressive wing span. A golden bolt of pure energy escapes its' mouth sending the fighters in a panic. Most dodged it but I'm noticing a few injuries. Urd shielded herself and now pierces the great beast with shafts of light. It almost falls from the sky but Marik uses the rod to empower it further. It prepares another blast, lookout! Urd telports close to Marik and knocks the rod from his hand, he loses control over it and Ra fires at Urd and Marik! He summoned another monster in time to take the brunt of the explosion then Urd flys up and though Ra, somehow cutting off its' link to this world and it slowly disappears. Marik is pissed and goes for the rod. Urd falls suddenly then tries to heal herself. Kimimaro pulls out his spine and uses it as a whip to wrap around Urd's throat then hurls her into the air. His whip goes straight and stabs Urd through her torso. He produces two gigantic bones from his sholders that look like big horns. Urd falls and impales herself on them! He tosses her from the ring and she is eliminated!

Inuyasha is still being chased by the crazy Haruhara, I think she may be foaming at the mouth. He leaps to the other side of the ring and draws his sword to attack Greed. After several strikes he pauses to rethink his strategy. Greed remains unharmed with a sick smirk. Haruhara has found another playmate and breaks her guitar over Marik's head. He's stunned and now she appears to be pulling something out of his head! I don't know what's going on but Haruhara just pulled a machine gun out of Marik's head and she proceeds to blow him away with it. At such close range, the power blew his head right off and what remains of it landed on the lap of a kid in the front row. Wonder how much that would go for on ebay. Needless to say Marik Ishtar is eliminated!

Inuyasha finally gave up on killing Greed and now Kawabara is the humugulus' target. Greed and Kabuto double team him but Kuwabara produces twin spirit swords to combat them both at the same time. He keeps up with their attacks until Greed grabs one of his blades bare handed. Kuwabara is stunned but then stabs Greed full force with his free sword. It didn't even give him a sratch which further confuses Kuwabara. Kabuto ever the advantageous one, uses his scalpel justu to carve into Kuwabara's back. It slows him down but doesn't stop him completely. Greed finishes the job with a rocklike fist to his face crushing his skull. He falls hard and they kick him a few times for good measure then just walk off without finishing him.

Ichigo squares off with Kimimaro. Ichigo moves first but Kimimaro matches his speed and scores a perfect block followed by a nice counter blow. Ichigo knocks him off balance and tries to chop his head off. Kimimaro escapes in time then releases the cursemark. Elsewhere Haruhara and Sazuka clash. Sazuka slices the bullets in half with her wooden sword then strikes back, Haruhara takes a hit but continues to fire wildly. Inuyasha slices Kabuto with his Tesseiga but Creed comes to the rescue slamming him down with ease. Inuyasha tries again to cut Greed but it's all in vain. Kawabara is miraculously still alive and uses what little energy he has left to create another sword but this one is different somehow."

Kawabara:"If I'm gonna die I'll do it in style! Hey you furry dude, finish them off for me will ya?"

Inuyasha:"Who me?? I'm not furry and are you blind, I've been trying to finish him but he can't be cut."

Kawabara:"hahahaha You're even more dense than I am. I'll help you with my dimension blade but you have to get the job done."

"Kawabara hurls his new sword and Greed dodes it just in case, I guess. It slices open what appears to be maybe another dimension or something. Inuyasha looks focused now."

Greed:"What the hell is this, I knew we should have finished off that corpse. Anyway you still can't harm me. I am the perfect shield"

Inuyasha:"A shield is worthless if you're not in this world anymore... WINDSCAR!!!!!!!!!"

"Inuyasha's attack doesn't harm him but it does succeed in knocking him into that rip in time and space! It closes quickly behind him as Kawabara laughes then goes motionless. That means Greed and Kuwabara are both eliminated! What team work! Now Kabuto is on his own but before Inuyasha can confront him, Sazuka lands a hard blow to his arm. I think she was aiming for his chest but he smelled her coming I guess. Kimimaro, now alot stronger with the power of that curse mark flowing through his body, is having no trouble in dealing with Ichigo. He continues to pummel him, blow after blow. Ichigo hits the ground again but this time doesn't get up immeditely. Wait a minute, I can see a shadow of what looks like a man in a black coat. He touches Ichigo and instantly he's back on his feet with renewed vigor. Kimimaro thrusts forward but Ichigo holds his ground this time and pushes Kimimaro back then with a flash of a strike right down his body, he shatters the bones Kimimaro was using for for his attacks! Ichigo finally has him on his back and ready to deal the death blow but Kabuto attacks him from behind. He wounds him and allows Kimimaro to leap away. Haruhara nails Kabuto with the empty machine gun, flinging him into the air. Ichigo propels himself with equal velocity and shoves his huge blade, the Zangetsu through the body of Kabuto! The blade shines as it protrudes from his chest. Ichigo rips it harsly from his body and lands gracefully in the ring. Kabuto is eliminated!

Sazuka cuts Inuyasha again and still manages to avoid his slashes. She uses a secret technique, a wind strike of sorts but Inuyasha sees it coming and leaps high out of range. It does however hit Haruhara and propels her far form the ring, she is finally eliminated! Inuyasha falls and continues to bleed. Sazuka says something about her finishing his misery and holds her sword above her head."

Inuyasha:"I'm not even close to being dead you idiot! Blades of Blood!!!!!!"

"Crimson blades formed from his own blood slice her and rip her wooden sword away. Inuyasha fires his Windscar and shreds the samurai to a blood soaked corpse! Twilight Sazuka has been eliminated! Ichigo now flowing with intense power and a desire to win flares across the ring with incredible speed. He engages Kimimaro yet again. He uses his perfect defenses to survive Ichigo's flurry of attacks. After several high impact slashes, Kimimaor's defenses begin to give. He goes on the offensive with his spine whip. I catches the shinigami Ichigo on his ankle and pulls him down. Ichigo cuts the whip then unleashes a magnificent blast that cuts Kimimaro in two!  He is eliminated!

Inu and Ichi are all that remain in the ring. A tense staredown ensues but both men are not known for their patience. They spring to action and let loose slashes into the air, intended to tear up eachother but the speed and fluidity of these guys are immeasurable. Neither can get an upper hand and both have zero openings in their perfect fighting styles. A final midair clash with such power it hurls both men back. Ichigo slides his left foot back to the edge of the ring and smiles. Inuyasha looks back to see the other edge right behind him. He fires a windscar and Ichigo matches it with his own blast! The two bursts of energy cancel eachother out but the energy washes over them both, this can't last too much longer. Again and again they fire blasts at eachother but they are too equally powered for one to best the other. This time Ichigo leaps over the Windscar instead of attacking then slices down but misses, the second strike hits Inuyasha's hand and sends his Tesseiga spinning high into the air. It finally lands, stabbing into the ground outside the ring. Ichigo looks ever confident and tries to finish this but Inuyasha hurls his blades of blood as a distraction and flees battle for the moment. Ichigo will not let up and pursues him. Finally he inflicts a good deep cut into Inuyasha who tries to fight back with his claws but it's not enough. He is stabbed repeatedly then sent to the ground. Ichigo waits for him to arise but he just lays there. Suddenly Inuyasha jumps up to reveal he has transformed into a full demon with glowing red eyes and brutal claws. He shows his new found speed and power by slicing Ichigo in a blindingly quick leap. He tears into Ichgo and prys his sword loose. He rips into Ichigo's stomach, all the while Ichigo reaches desperately for Zangetsu. Finally he recovers it and throws Inuyasha off him. He fires a blast from it as Inuyasha leaps at him like a rabid dog. Inuyasha gets hit head on and lands hard to the ring floor. He is cut and bleeding from head to toe. Inuyasha regains some thought and thrusts out his sword's sheath. The Tesseiga returns to him and he appears normal once more. Ichigo fires a blast yet again but Inuyashe smiles."

Inuyasha:"Just what I wanted you to do....... BACKLASHWAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"That technique sends Ichigo's own attack back at him with even more power and force. It crashes down on him and destroys half of the ring in the proccess!. As the dust starts to settle I don't see any sign of Ichigo! Was he ground to dust with that last attack? Wait a minute! He's in the air and his appearance has changed. He's wearing a long black coat and his sword is smaller. Inuyasha spots him but Ichigo vanishes then appears behind Inuyasha and hits him with a red blast that obliterates Inuyasha!
The Winner: Ichigo Kurosaki!!!!!"

(Sesshomaru glides down to the arena)
Sesshomaru:"Rin, retreive the Tesseiga. I am now its' rightful owner."
Rin:"Yes Lord Sesshomaru lalalalalala"
Sesshomaru:"Pathetic Inuyasha, I will finish what you could not and use father's sword as it was intended. Farewell .... brother"

"Stay tuned for the drawing ceremony to determine what spots the fighters will have in round two!!!"
