* Volume 5: Concentrating my willpower! *
* Chapter three (38): Tiger Fireball Attack! *

Yuusuke: That big furball wanted to invite us to his room! We'll just go
from this way! Huh?

Kuwabara: This is?

Yuusuke: Wow! It's the hotpot of horrors!

Kuwabara: If we dropped down, we won't even have a body left!

Byakko: Heheh! This is my gameland. Nice view isn't it? Just as you're
seeing, you'll be left with no remains if you dropped into the bath of
horrors down there. Fight me here if you have the guts!

Yuusuke: Idiot! You're fortunate enough you didn't die, and now you dare
bring us to such a dorky house! Let me finish you off!

(a hand lands on his shoulder)

Kuwabara: His opponent is me!

Yuusuke: Kuwabara!

Hiei: That's enough, you did very well. Leave everything to Yuusuke now. You
rest and wait for your energy to recover, then we'll see.

Kuwabara: Leave it to him? You joking? We're not playing baseball here! How
can I leave the job to the reserve and drink tea in the restroom? One must
solve one's problems himself!

Hiei: Chi! Unreasonable creature.

Yuusuke: He won't change his mind on what he's decided on!

Kurama: His stubborness is comparable to yours.

Byakko: What's wrong? Are you scared?

Kuwabara: Shut up! I'm coming over right now, you just wait!

(he hops onto one of the raised platforms above the burning lava) Oops?
WOAH! WAH! Phew... That was close! I almost died before the match began!

Yuusuke: Kuwabara-kun! Leave it to me!

Kuwabara: Keep quiet! I did that on purpose! It's quite warm here, though.
Come on! Time for the final match... and I'll definitely defeat you this time!

Byakko: (makes a loud noise)

Kuwabara: !?

Byakko: I'll let you see my greatest skill! HAH!

(he emits a ball of dunnowhat from his mouth)

Kuwabara: Huh? What ball is this? Watch me and my baseball supreme sword
movement!

Kurama: Ah! No! Don't touch that ball! Escape now!

Kuwabara: !? What's going on?

(he leaps away anyway)

(the ball hits the platform he was previously on and dissolves it)

Kuwabara: Eh?

Byakko: Saw that? That was the Tiger Fireball Attack! A superb shouting
force that reduces anything it touches into dust!

Hiei: I heard that there was a demon who was able to create a movement ball
from within his body, so it's Byakko! You can only escape dealing with moves
like this!

Byakko: HAH! HAH!

Kuwabara: WAH!

Byakko: Hahah! Escape! Escape! You'll have no place to escape to soon!

Kuwabara: !! Woah!

(all the platforms surrounding him had been reduced to ashes)

Byakko: Heheheh... Why aren't you escaping? I still have some platforms
usable on my side! It's only about 10 metres! Just 2 more metres that Lewis
(Translator's note: Carl Lewis, former Olympic long jump champion) did!
You're just unable to run before you jump, that's all! HAHAHAH!

Kuwabara: Uu!

Yuusuke: Kuwabara's been isolated!

Kurama: There's no way he can reach any other place at such a distance!

Byakko: Are you unable to shout for help facing death? Cry! Beg for mercy!
Perhaps the merciful me would change my mind and grant you salvation! Let me
see your piteous sight!

(throws some sharp stuff at him)

Kuwabara: WAH!

Byakko: You can't retreat now! Once more shot and you're done for! DIE!

Kuwabara: *Darn! I can't defeat him this way! But at least... I must at
least perish together with him!* UUUUUOOOOO!

Hiei: He's jumping!

Yuusuke: Kuwabara - !!

(he leaps)

(almost reaches the platform...)

(just almost...)

Yuusuke: Kuwabara - !!

Byakko: HAH! What a pity, about five metres more! Listen up! I'll send the
three of you to meet him in the underworlds together! EH? WHAT?

(Kuwabara reappears)

Byakko: He used the reiki sword as a pole for vaulting!

Kuwabara: Die together with me! I got no time to reply you now! Give me your
life!

(he punches Byakko and they disappear over the platform together)

They: YA!

Yuusuke: Kuwabara - Kuwa... bara... Darn!

Hiei: Hold it! Look over there!

Yuusuke: Huh? KUWABARA - !!

Kuwabara: Pull me up quick! It's gonna break!

Yuusuke: He's hooked up by his belt!

(he goes over)

Yuusuke: Idiot! Gave me a fright! I thought you were a goner! Why didn't you
reply me just now? You little eggtart!

Kuwabara: That hurts! I'm really gonna fall! Stop it! Are you really
rejoicing or not? You trying to kill me?

Hiei: It was a fortunate escape this time round. You should be able to
defeat another person using the same method.

Kuwabara: Can there be a second time for horrifying actions like that? *I'll
finish you off sooner or later!*

Yuusuke: All right! Two more saint beasts to go!
