"Speaking"

'Thinking'

flashback

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

It was a beautiful weekday morning, and Kayko came by the Urameshi apartment to see if Atsuko, Yusuke and Avigayil's mother, heard anything from them.

"I just don't think it's very considerate," Kayko told Atsuko.

Her honey brown eyes bore into Atsuko.

Atsuko lifted her hand and scratched her head. Her long light brown hair cascaded down her back,

"Today makes six months and the twins swear it's something important," Atsuko informed the girl.

"I know but…"

"They give me a phone call every couple of weeks so I know they're still alive," Atsuko looked at the blue sky, "I wish they'd would tell me what kind of camp this is, but that's Avi and Yusuke for you."

Kayko adverted her eyes so she was looking at her bag, "Oh Atsuko, I cant help wondering if it's even worth waiting for Yusuke…and Avi of course."

Atsuko smiled. She went forward and grabbed Kayko wrapping her arms around the young girl.

Kayko's uniform skirt swished as she felt hands on her shoulders. Kayko looked up at Atsuko.

"Ah Kayko, cheer up! One thing I've had to learn now is that if Avi is with Yusuke, he always comes back."

Kayko told Atsuko that she had to leaver for school but she'll be back.

Kayko had an annoyed look on her face as she was walking down the street.

"Easy for her to say that. Mothers are obligated to care."

As Kayko was walking down a figure started walking her way.

He was holding a bag behind his back. Kayko stopped and gasped as she recognized the silhouette.

He stopped and grinned. His white shirt was messy with dirt and grime and his raven hair was in need of a haircut. He looked like he hadn't showered in days.

"Long time no see, huh?"

"Yu…Yusuke!"

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

It was around 3:10 later that afternoon and all was right in the world.

"Three chocolate and one vanilla shake please," Kayko asked a nice young woman.

Yusuke just finished getting a hair cut and was gelling up his hair. He took Kayko to school, took a shower and a nap, and a haircut and picked her up. She was now ordering shakes for him and his twin sister, Avi.

"So do your arms and legs bend in the right direction now?" Yusuke turned his chocolate brown eyes on Kuwabara (and a shake for Kuwabara.)

"Yeah, with Genkai's healing powers I was only in bed for a day after the fight! And I think she even made me stronger! I can try 'em on you if you want!"

"Buddy, I'm afraid they'd send us to jail," Avi spoke from behind.

The four teens were at the park. Kuwabara and Yusuke were sitting on a bench. Avi, being the opposite, stood leaning behind the bench and was talking over their shoulder. She, like Yusuke, arrived that day. But she knew, being the ambassador for Kayko and Yusuke, that they needed some "alone" time. So she took a different route home and got a trim so her hair was the same length she left. Now she and her brother are in their green uniforms chatting with Kuwabara.

"After what we learned from the old lady, fighting you would be a cruel," Avi finished.

"So was the training very hard?" Kuwabara asked.

"Let's just say we'll be having nightmares for the next four years cause of all that shit we went through."

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Use the Spirit Wave to float on top of the spike," Genkai instructed Yusuke who was balancing on a spike with one finger. Avigayil was behind him also balancing. They were in one of Genkai's many dojos.

Yusuke was using a lot of his Spirit Energy just to keep himself balanced. Avigayil, on the other hand, was using less Spirit Energy.

"Good," Genkai was pleased, "Now we'll hold this for 12 hours."

With sweat dripping down his forehead Yusuke yelled at Genkai, "I hate you!"

Avigayil was standing in front of Genkai, Both of her hands arms length away getting ready to block something.

Genkai's hand was out ready to shoot something at Avi, "This will be an exercise in blocking energy attacks. Careful. This could kill you."

With one shout Genkai's hand glowed blue. From the impact of the force, it sent Avi sprawling on her back. Because of the initial shock on Avi's face, Yusuke was cracking up.

"Let's see you try boy," Genkai shot some energy at Yusuke.

He also landed sprawling on his back.

"We're not going to stop this until you don't move an inch," Genkai walked forward, "Now get up!" She dumped a whole bucket of water on them.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Then we sat and meditated on a bonfire for a week," Yusuke counted on his fingers.

"That was kinda fun," Avi put her two sense in.

"Oh and we had to sleep with snakes for three weeks."

"That was not fun," Avi shuddered.

"Ahh. Okay forget I asked. Just listening to everything you guys did gives me the creeps," Kuwabara shuddered.

"Yeah," Avi started, "But it was worth it for all the tricks we learned."

"Oooh. Now that's what I wanna see!"

"See what?" Kayko came over with the milkshakes.

'Think lil liar think,' Yusuke looked over at his sister.

"Oh…uh…yeah! Kuwabara was saying he wanted to see a movie, right!" Avi lied.

'I love my lying sister,' Yusuke thought.

"Yeah…movies! I love 'em!" Kuwabara played along.

"Ohh. I know a great foreign art film!" Kayko suggested.

"Ohh, great," Yusuke smiled.

"Oh and Avi, you're gonna love it. Because it's in a foreign language and I know you are amazing at foreign languages."

"Lovely. A movie and a foreign language all in one," Avi smiled.

The three friends bent their heads in defeat.

As the four friends were walking down the street to the theaters, Kayko was swinging her school bag around and dancing in front of the boys. Avi, not being able to stop her giddiness joined Kayko. The two girls were dancing and laughing down the street. People were staring at them but they didn't care.

"I haven't seen Kayko this happy in months," Kuwabara commented, "You guys must really have somethin' for her to be that way."

Yusuke turned his head away. Kuwabara grabbed Yusuke by the neck and started to rub his face with his hand, "Don't act like you're not excited too! How do you think Kayko feels when you pretend you don't care?"

"Hey! You're squishing my milkshake!"

Yusuke moved his face when he noticed something.

"Yusuke!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara turned to Kayko. They were in front of the movie theater.

"Stop wrestling, the movies about to start."

"Uhh. Hey Kayko, I've gotta go grab something at the store first."

"What?"

"Yeah and Kuwabara has to get something too, right? We'll be back in five minutes, tops. Would you mind saving us some seats?"

"Well if it's quick, I'll come with you," Kayko offered.

"No, you see, it's kind of embarrassing actually. It's a guy thing you know," Yusuke snapped his fingers, "Avi, you didn't check in at the club yet right? The store is near by. Pop in and say hi," Yusuke grabbed Kuwabara by the wrist and then Avi, "We'll be back soon okay!"

"Fine. I'll be in the center row!"

"I'll remember Kayko," Avi shouted.

As they rounded the corner Yusuke let go of Kuwabara, stuck his hand in his pocket, and started walking casually.

"So what things you want you want to buy with just guys, huh?" Kuwabara asked, "What you need some itching cream, or condoms, or something?"

"Shut up. I'm not buying shit," Yusuke told Kuwabara.

"We're being followed," Avi was in front of them.

"What?" Kuwabara glanced his eyes around to see if they really were being followed. Five boys who had blue skin were following them.

"I caught a glimpse of them at the movie theater," Yusuke said.

"Me too. Just didn't want to get Kayko alarmed if I suddenly stop dancing, you know?"

"Well we've got the time. I say we have some fun with them," Kuwabara suggested.

The kids led the followers into an alley.

"You jokers are in trouble now! My name's Kuwabara! The number one thug of Sariyaski Junior High!"

"Ha. No sense in telling lies," Yusuke started.

The five boys pulled out switch blade knives.

This slightly scared both Kuwabara and Yusuke because they don't carry weapons on them.

Avi smirked, "Ooh, knives. My favorite," she said seductively.

"I don't think these guys are playing around! We haven't even starting and they're already pulling knives," Kuwabara was alarmed.

"Must kill, must kill, must…kill," the leader shot forward. Avigayil just moved and kicked him in the shins.

Two more lunged themselves at Kuwabara and Yusuke. Kuwabara caught his opponent's arm that the knife was in. Yusuke caught his opponent's arm. Kuwabara pushed the guy's arm down and kicked him in the stomach. Yusuke noticed the other two boys coming forward. Yusuke turned around and kicked his prisoner in the back so that he fell on top of his comrades.

"Are they human?" Kuwabara asked.

The five boys stood up and began to chant must kill.

"What do we do now?"

"You don't do anything," Avigayil said, "Now we leave it to Yusuke and me."

Avigayil walked forward. Yusuke followed her. The girl held out her left hand and the boy grabbed it with his right. They intertwined fingers and pulled their intertwined hand towards them. That hand started to glow with Spirit Energy. Kuwabara was standing there totally amazed by what he was seeing, "Whoa! Is this one of your new techniques!"

"We'll take that as a stupid question," they said in unison.

The five boys leapt into the air.

"TWIN SHOT GUN!"

All these little blasts of blue light came out of the intertwined hand hitting the boys.

"Oh wow! That's crazy Urameshis! It's like you're shooting a whole spray of Spirit Gun bullets all at once!"

"Well yeah, like I said. It's a shotgun," Avi said in a really bitchy tone.

She released her hand from Yusuke.

"That's pretty neat," Kuwabara was amazed, "But what's the deal with the twin thing? I mean it makes it sound kind of sissy."

"Avi thought it would be cute that when we use the same attack together we add a twin in front of it."

"Why do you guys use your attacks together?"

"We do because they're a tiny bit stronger if we use two people and because it's a twin thing."

The three kids walked over to the five boys.

"No more questions," Avi was annoyed, "Who the hell are these guys?"

"I thought you said no more questions," Kuwabara said.

"I meant about me."

"Oh."

Yusuke bent down to get a better inspection.

"Hold on," Kuwabara warned, "I feel something really strange around us. I don't think it's very human."

Kuwabara started looking around him. He spotted a man in a trench coat and hat hiding behind a fence in the corner, "Something like that!"

The man saw he was spotted and started running.

"Get him!" Kuwabara yelled and a chase was ensued.

The three teens were chasing him through the alley. He made a sharp left. So did Kuwabara, Yusuke and Avi. The man went straight ahead and made another left turn. As the three teens made their way to make that left, the man was sent backwards. This stopped the three teens. They cautioned themselves and took two steps forward and looked down at the man who was unconscious. They were surprised when looked over and saw a girl with white boots, red leggings, black ¾ sleeve shirt and a red leather jacket holding a metal bat.

"Now that is teamwork," she said.

"Botan?" Yusuke was surprised.

"Botan!" Avi cheered and gave a hug to her.

"Hey, it's the pretty girl! Have you thought about me?" Kuwabara asked.

Avi and Yusuke fell anime style.

"I've been shadowing that one since he slipped through the barrier two days ago," she informed.

The three kids looked over. The "thing" was a like a lizard; green skinned with purple blotches, claws and yellow eyes.

"So…what is he?" Kuwabara asked.

"He ain't human," Avi obviously stated.

"He looks like he grew up too close to a nuclear plant," Yusuke commented.

"I'm quite certain he's a spy from the place you'll be going as your next mission," Botan said.

"Okay Botan you can stop right there," Yusuke yelled.

"Yeah, I mean, you're my new best friend an all, Botan," Avi started to talk really fast.

"But we got back from grandma's evil boot camp today!" they raised their voices together, "And we deserve a vacation!"

Yusuke turned around, "Why don't you call back in two years!" and started to walk away.

Avi, being the loyal sister, turned to Botan with an apologetic look and started to follow.

"Then I guess you both don't mind everyone in this city being turned into zombies!" the deity raised her voice.

Yusuke and Avigayil turned their heads around and cocked it onto a side, "Does that question have a point?"

Botans pink eyes, stared at them, "Koenma was given a message yesterday. It was sent by an agent much like the one we just walloped."

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"Uh Koenma sir! A letter," George our blue ogre walked into Koenma's office.

Koenma was busy stamping papers.

"Stamp? Sure! Stamp? Sure! Approval? Sure! Appeal? Sure! Come back from the dead? Why not?"

"It's from the city of Ghosts and Apparitions."

"What!" this stopped Koenma.

The young prince was handed the letter and began to read. At one point he began to shake and worry.

"It came from the four Saint Beasts, didn't it sir? What do they want?"

Koenma looked up, "Immediate immigration into the Living World."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Tell Botan to capture the spy she's following! And get The Urameshi Twins on this case at once," Koenma ordered.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"I don't see what all the fuss is about," Avi crossed her arms, "If Koenma's in charge, then why can't he turn down their request?"

"And who are these stupid Saint Beasts?" Yusuke chimed in.

"They are four of the most notorious criminals in all of Spirit World," Botan began to explain, "The title Saint was given to them by their followers. Years ago they were chased by a coalition of pursuers, and evaded capture by locking themselves in a booby-trapped fortress. Since then, a whole city has formed at its base, filled with vile crooks who view these beasts like gods. The City of Ghosts and Apparitions," Botan began to walk away.

"Hey aren't you going to finish your story?" Yusuke asked.

"Yeah. You can't just leave a good story like that hanging," Avi cooled down.

The three kids walked over to where Botan was standing.

"Why don't you take a good look at these boys you knocked out," the blue haired girl pointed.

The three adolescents walked over and took a good look.

A green looking bug with wings crawled out of one of the boys' mouth. The bug lifted its wings and flew.

"Bleh. Shit! Tell me I didn't just see a bug crawl from his throat!" Yusuke was disgusted.

"They're called Makai insects," Botan informed, "A parasite from the darker parts of Spirit World. They bury themselves under the skin and then nurture a person's primal desire. Minds occupied by this parasite develop a need for destruction, physical power, and murder…it will be a disaster."

Through out Botans explanation, Kuwabara was getting nauseous.

"Well can't we tell people? I mean, there's gotta be a cure."

"There is…but ordinary people can't see the insects."

"Figures," Avi muttered crossing her arms.

"The inflicted will be seen as psychotic," Botan continued, "And I'm afraid a cure will not be first on the human's mind."

"Then what the fuck are we supposed to do!" the twins demanded.

"The only way to rescue this city is to kill the Makai insects," Botan said, "And the only way to do that is by destroying the whistle, which the enemies posses."

"A whistle?" Avi asked sarcastically.

"Mmhmm. Without the whistle's sustaining frequency, the Makai can't even live outside of Spirit World."

"Soo, how long do we have before these beasts leave their castle and come to Earth themselves?" Yusuke asked.

"At this point they can't. For years we had them trapped inside the city with a barrier wall. Now, with this threat of insect invasion, they hope to force us to open the barrier."

"I get it. So they give you the whistle if you open up the wall," it clicked in Avi's mind.

"Instead we'll make a small breach in the wall to let you in. eventually they'll find this hole themselves."

"And what if we're not able to beat them?" Yusuke asked.

"I don't think I have to tell you what would happen if the demons from that city were unleashed on Earth."

Yusuke and Avi turned to look at each other and then looked to the sky, imagining the possibilities.

Their city's buildings crushed fires everywhere and scattered dead bodies are what came to their imagination.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"I have to be honest Botan," Avigayil walked forward past Botan thinking, "This takes the record for confusing."

"Yes," Botan agreed, "Just try and remember the basics. You're good and the entire city is bad. Destroy the whistle and defeat the beasts, and the case will be closed."

"You make it sound so easy," the young girl muttered.

"Okay," Yusuke was frustrated, "I just can't believe Koenma expects me to take on a whole fucking city of demons alone."

"Ahem," Avi turned around.

"I meant you and me," Yusuke looked past Botan's shoulder towards his sister, "But you gotta admit Avi, it's still not enough."

"Point…don't they send teams out for this kind of thing!" Avi raised her voice.

"What about me Urameshis?"

Yusuke and Avigayil looked over at Kuwabara. They completely forgot he was there.

"Uhh…oh Kuwabara! There's no such thing as demons!" Botan was making up excuses, "The twins and I were just joking!"

"Look I'm not dumb," Kuwabara looked down at a bug, "Or blind," the bug flew up and he caught it with his hand, "We all know I can see supernatural stuff better than Avi and a whole lot better than Yusuke. And I'm not gonna sit around my house while the twins don't see things and let big monsters and insects take over my city! 'Cause I'm Kuwabara and incase you guys forgot I've got a sword!"

"And we all know what happens when I kick your sword," Avi snickered.

"NOT THAT SWORD!" Kuwabara yelled, "Geeze."

"Well Yusuke, I guess there's no point in arguing with the eager," Botan was bedazzled as was Yusuke.

Botan led them to an empty warehouse. She opened the door and dust came flying everywhere.

Avigayil, Kuwabara and Yusuke began coughing and choking. There eyes also began to water.

Botan was unfazed and began walking down the steps, "Watch for dust."

"Gee, thanks for the warning," Yusuke remarked sarcastically, "Avi, you wait up here until there's not so much dust, miss allergic," Yusuke and Kuwabara followed the deity.

"Shut…up," she managed out.

Avigayil went down anyway. She shut the door.

"Banging on floors of random warehouses. Seems like fun to me," Avigayil sarcastically said as she found Botan banging in the floor as she descended.

"That's what I said," Yusuke turned towards his sister, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside until your breathing calmed down."

Avigayil flipped him off, "I did for five minutes…dad."

"This is where they were supposed to put the breach in the barrier," Botan explained.

The pink eyed girl moved to another area of the floor and began banging her fist on the floor.

"Bingo," she found the breach and lifted it up.

It was like a trap door that was lifted. All four heads looked inside.

"You are gonna give us a rope ladder or something?" Yusuke asked.

"No, jumping down should land you safely on the outer bank of the city," Botan looked up at Kuwabara, "You know you don't have to go through with this if you don't want to."

Yusuke and Avigayil heard this and began to walk.

"No one will hold it against you," she finished.

"Oh, okay! See ya!" the twins began leaving.

"Not you!" Botan tripped Yusuke who fell on the floor, which caused Avi to trip too and she fell on Yusuke, "The Spirit Detectives don't have a choice in this. Kuwabara does."

"Don't worry about me lady," Kuwabara assured, "I sort of feel like a Spirit Detective myself now."

Botan listened as the twins got up from their fall.

"And as for detectives," Kuwabara continued, "There's no turning back!" and he jumped into the breach.

The three people ran towards the breach.

Botan was horrified at first but then amazed, "He really jumped."

"…Maybe he'll be okay alone," Yusuke suggested.

Botan glared at the twins.

"Okay, okay. I'll go down there," Avi offered.

"Ahh. Not yet," Botan said.

Botan pulled out two purple compacts that have yellow flower petal designs on them, from her jacket, "Here! I'm supposed to give you this Communication Mirror!"

Yusuke grabbed the mirror, "Geeze! You nearly forgot to give us this thing!"

"Let me guess, with out it we'd probably be killed!" Avi yelled.

"No," Botan simply said, "It's just a communication mirror, so I can keep in contact with you while you're on the other side."

"Here," Yusuke handed Avi the mirror, "Looks too girly. You have it."

"Gee," Avi sarcastically said, "Thanks," she then jumped in.

"Yeah yeah, leave us on our own while you go do other things…oh no!" Yusuke realized right when he was about to jump in.

"What's the matter now, Yusuke?" Botan whined.

"Kayko! I just dumped her off at the movie theater!"

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Kayko, meanwhile, is standing outside of the movie theater with tears in her eyes, "Yusuke you brat!"

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Yusuke got this panicky look on his face then it immediately changed into a thoughtful one, "Hey Botan, tell you what, why don't you go take care of things with her and I'll go down here." He jumped in to the breach giving no time to respond.

"…Now wait! Yusuke! I don't want to do that!" Botan yelled into the breach.

The land in which the trio was going to arrive in was all dusty. The buildings looked like they were parts of a medieval castle all covered with ivy and trees. There was one part of the castle in particular which was higher than the others.

Lightening struck and our trio came out from that lightening and fell to the ground.

Yusuke landed on Avigayil who landed on Kuwabara.

"Forgot about Kayko, didn't you?" Avi asked.

"Yep," Yusuke answered. He sat up and rubbed his cheek, "Oh damn."

Avi got up and surveyed the area, "Well, guess this is the place."

Everyone stood up. They heard a rumbling noise.

Little cloaked demons, known as Fugaki, came up from out of the dirt, "Yes, we've found a treat!"

Hundreds more kept on coming up from the dirt surrounding the teens.

The three teens were back to back.

"What are those things?" Kuwabara asked.

"I'm not exactly sure, but they're not friendly," Yusuke said.

"We will dig in," one lunged forward.

That was the initiation of the attack.

The one who spoke lunged for Yusuke's throat but Yusuke punched him in the stomach. A Fugaki jumped on Avigayil's back but she grabbed him and threw him over her. Fugaki were ganging up on Kuwabara. He punched one, turned around, kicked another on his side and he punched one more. Soon three were jumping on him. Yusuke and Avigayil were holding up as best as they can. A Fugaki lunged at Avigayil but she punched him in the jaw. Another Fugaki jumped on her back and pulled her hair. She cried out but grabbed him and threw him over her shoulder.

No matter how many times they threw Fugaki to the ground more just kept coming up.

A new Fugaki came up and lunged at Yusuke, who easily kicked him away. Yusuke heard Kuwabara cry out. He turned around and saw Kuwabara pushed up against a wall by like 50 Fugaki.

"Urameshi! There's too many of 'em. And I'm not sure but I think they want to eat me!" Kuwabara slid down and a Fugaki opened its mouth and nipped at his neck. He screamed.

"I'm coming!" but Yusuke was also pushed down against Fugaki, "This is gonna be pretty lame if we get killed before we reach the stupid castle! Avi get your ass over here and help!"

"I wish I can," she kicked a Fugaki, "But I'm a little tied up."

The Fugaki pinned her down and tried to bite her.

Suddenly, another lightening flash came. A hole was open and two little lightening balls came; one red, one blue. They kept coming closer and closer. Soon a big flash of light came and the lightening balls zoomed onto a tree branch. The flash of light scared all of the Fugaki away and left only the trio there.

Avigayil stood up and walked over to her friend and brother, "That worked, whatever it was."

"It seems you could use some help," a voice said from the tree.

"If those nothings were too much for you, we're going to have some serious trouble," another voice spoke.

The trio looked up at the tree when a lightening bolt struck showing the faces. Yusuke and Avigayil were a bit baffled. The two people jumped down from the tree.

"Well, well, well! The thieves!" Yusuke welcomed.

"Hello."

"Well, what are you doing here?"

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Kuwabara's P.O.V.

"Even that fool Koenma knew it would take more than human power to kill the Saint Beasts," the short guy said.

He was wearing black pants, boots, and cloak with a white scarf around the top of his cloak. He was also wearing a white bandana around his forehead. He had really weird ass hair too. It was black with a certain part in the front that was white in a star shape and it stuck up everywhere. He also had amazing ruby eyes. I wonder if he uses contacts.

"By aiding in this mission, Koenma has assured us we can clean our slates in Spirit World," pretty boy said.

Pretty boy was wearing a magenta school uniform. He had long red hair that went down to his mid back and green eyes.

Avi laughed, "I guess Koenma heard me and Yusuke complaining."

"Hey Kuwabara," Urameshi said, "Let me introduce you to these guys. That's Kurama," Urameshi pointed to pretty boy, "And that's Hiei," Urameshi pointed towards the short stack, "Aka Avi's crush," he whispered.

Avi probably heard cause next thing I knew, I was pulling Avi away from Urameshi. Damn, never knew she could hold onto something. I had to pry her fingers away from Urameshi's throat.

"Well I don't have a clue what's going on," I put Avi down, "But it sure is nice to have a helping hand."

"Helping is not the right word," Hiei said.

Me and the twins looked down at Hiei. Well actually just me an' Urameshi. Avi looked up, "Koenma may regard us as equals but I do not," Hiei continued, "Once inside the castle I suggest you let us do the work. As far as I'm concerned we're babysitting."

I can't believe Avi likes a jackass like him.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Normal P.O.V.

"Babysitter! I don't need a babysitter," Avi spat.

Kurama chuckled.

"Listen you puny jerk-face, I'm gonna have to beat you up if you keep talking down to us that way!" Kuwabara threatened.

"Let's avoid fighting. You're not worth it."

"Oh that's it!" Kuwabara punched forward but fell to the ground because Hiei moved forward right into the twins' face.

"But you, Detectives, are a different story," Hiei began, "I plan to take my revenge on you, so consider this fair warning!"

Kuwabara stood up, "You wanna ignore me, huh!" Kuwabara tried to punch again but fell forward because Hiei moved backwards causing Kuwabara to miss.

"Hiei, we must face this current business before you start your own," Kurama wisely said.

Though Hiei did threaten both Yusuke and Avigayil, he was looking at Avigayil mostly. Both twins were staring at him through out his threat.

"Don't worry three-eyes," Avi said, "If we survive this, I'll be glad to take you on!" as if reading her brothers thoughts she answered while still staring at Hiei, "You got to fight him last time, remember Yusuke? It's my turn. Now is this a perfect team or what!"

Kuwabara glared at Hiei who scowled and turned his head away.

The five began walking towards the castle coincidentally in height order; Avigayil, Hiei, Yusuke, Kurama and Kuwabara.

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

"What a strange group of visitors," a voice form the castle spoke.

"No match for us, of course," a second voice spoke.

"Master, what shall we do?" a third voice asked.

"Byakko is correct," the one called master said, "They are no reason to worry. Look at them fighting one another already. They'll never even pass the front gate."

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

As they were about to walk in the group noticed the shape of the front door. It was a mouth of a skill with the nose and eyes above the mouth.

"Wow now this looks homey," Yusuke commented.

"So I guess we're just gonna walk right in?" Kuwabara asked.

"Any prize that's worth having usually requires a risk," Kurama said.

"I say we make 'em come out here and fight us up front like they're not a bunch of pansies!"

"Your sense of strategy is amazing," Hiei commented.

"Are you talking to me runt-boy!"

"Let's go," Yusuke said. He was aggravated and didn't want to hear Hiei and Kuwabara argue. He marched forward.

"Stupid dwarf," Kuwabara mumbled.

Avigayil walked behind. A leader up front and a leader in back she decided.

They walked down a corridor. Everything was fine until they were about to reach the end, when a bat type demon with one huge eye flew towards them. They gasped.

"Welcome to Maze Castle," the bat demon welcomed.

"Whoa, it talked!" Kuwabara was amazed. He should have been. There was no mouth; just an eye and wings.

"Those who enter Maze Castle must be tried by the Gate of Betrayal," it continued.

"What do you mean tried?" Yusuke asked. He was losing his patience.

The bat flew down the rest of the way. At the end of the wall a switch appeared. The bat pulled the switch. The room began to shake.

"Urameshi," Kuwabara started, "Why'd you have to ask?"

Gears turned and the room began to rumble more.

Kurama noticed some dirt falling, "The ceiling!"

The ceiling began to fall down. It stopped as the five held it. Kurama was in the right back; Kuwabara the front right; Yusuke front left; Hiei back left and Avi smack dab in the middle.

"Heavy isn't it?" the bat asked, "Sensors in the corridor are most intelligent, and a complex assembly of gears adapts the ceilings weight precisely to the strength of its victims, of course, there is a catch. Just enough lee-way remains for one person to escape, leaving their friends to be crushed by the weight."

"Fuck," Avi muttered.

"But decisions must be made quickly. Not even the five of you combined can hold the ceiling for long. Insist on teamwork, and everyone will be crushed. Only by turning against your friends will one of you be able to escape. Only the traitor among you deserves to enter Maze Castle. That's why it's called the Gate of Betrayal, you see?"

It flew away cackling.

"Boy I'd like to get my hands on that bat-thing!" Kuwabara yelled. His knee bent slightly causing the ceiling to move a tiny bit.

Hiei looked over at Kuwabara, "Stay focused on the weight or you'll kill us all!" he grumbled.

"Oh sure blame me! I bet I'm holding up a lot more weight than you are!"

"Shut it Kuwabara," Avi tried to stop the fight.

"Well I'm not about to die for the sake of you worthless humans!" Hiei said.

"Don't you even consider it, Hiei," Kurama spoke.

"Oh man! I knew I should have played some trust games," Yusuke joked to himself.

The bat cackled to himself as he watched the five kids suffer and wondering how long they're going to suffer until they're crushed…

X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X

Okay? So how do you like it so far? I'm just wasting time here because I have nothing else to say but to please review and I hope you like it. More will be on the way. Not sure when but there will be more.
