"What did you do?" Kuwabarra asked in amazement. The demons stand still like statues and the thunders froze as if it was a painting.
"I… he… we stopped time." Serena answered. All the detectives had stopped running and had turned their focus to Bunny.
Kuwabarra sometime does not think before he speaks, "What? Ha… how? What do you mean"
"Baka, she meant exactly what she said." Hiei, of course, never give up the change to humiliate Kuwabarra.
"Less talk, more moving. Hurry." Luna rushes them.
"Why? I may not really get this but since she stops time, doesn't that mean we have lots of time and that we don't have to hurry?" Yusuke himself was getting confuse about what he just said. "Wait, did what I just said make sense?" He was trying to make sense of himself and so was Kuwabarra.
Everyone else groan at their stupidity accept Hiei and Serena. Hiei muttered something like "Baka" and follow with curses about how someone like Yusuke could have defeated him. Bunny, she just gave a little smile but she could not help thinking that Yusuke and Kuwabarra were not very smart. "Enough, we should leave quickly." Kurama fleetly left for the castle with Hiei, Kuro, Serena, Luna, Kero, and Kera close behind.
"Arg, I'm the leader of this team you know." Complained Yusuke before he run after his team, Kuwabarra soon follow.
They come up in front of two colossal doors with timeworn symbols encrypts on it. Yusuke had caught up to the team no problem but Kuwabarra had a bit of problem. He was breathing hard when he finally caught up to the team. "Are you alright?" Kera asked out of concerns.
To her surprise, he yelled loudly, "Sure I'm okay. I'm Kuwabarra, the great!" He was no longer breathing hard or looks tire. "Kuwabarra, shut up." Snapped Kuro, his ears was ringing. Demon's ears are much more sensitive than humans are; this trait has a good and well… bad side to it. I believe you know which side I am talking about right now.
"Then how about the great Kuwabarra open these doors for us." Yusuke was obviously lazy and taking advantage of Kuwabarra.
Kuwabarra looks at the doors and sweat drop, "Are you kidding? That thing is humongous!"
"I'm not blind, I can see that. Oh, is this job too difficult for the great Kuwabarra." Yusuke taunted.
He fell for it, "No of course not." He rolls up his sleeves and attempt at opening the door. He pushes until he was sweating all over and even he would not give up.
Yusuke was getting a kick out of this while the other demons find their teammate's attempt utterly pathetic. You do have to him credit for trying. The doors suddenly open and cause Kuwabarra to fall flat on his face. Inside was dark as far as they can see, even so they enter, and the doors shut tight behind them. The only light in there was the light of Serena's magic circle. She was calling the Time card back to her; he had stayed behind to keep guard on the time affect. He dissolves to dark golden wind, phasing through the thick ancient door, and revert to card form. Serena took another card out of her pocket and like before, she threw it up in the air and summoned, instead of an old man, a pint size girl holding a dandelion her size. Along with the girl comes glowing lights the size of fireflies; they spread all over and lithe the way to the inside of the castle.
Outside, time begin to flow again. The demons look around to see where their preys have gone to, but end up unsuccessful. They were confused and did not know what else to do but sink back into the ground where they come from.
The inside of the castle was not as complicated as you would have thought, you cannot possibly even get lost because there was only one hallway, a very long one hallway. Even with the light, the end of the hall could not be seen, only darkness where the glows did not touch. Our team continues to walk and walk and walk and walk and walk.
"Man, how long have we been walking?" Yusuke asked with his voice dray out making it sound like he was very tire.
"Fifteen minutes." Serena answered after looking at her watch.
"Really? Seen longer." Yusuke obviously did not like this very much. He was speeding up until Kurama put his arm in front blocking everyone's path. "What is it?"
Kurama's gaze turns to the floor, "The floor, look." Everyone look closely at the floor and notice tiny white lines. "They're floor sensors. Step on them and hidden traps will be activated."
"Any idea on how we can get pass them?" Yusuke may be the team leader but he was definitely mot the brain of the team.
"Either we fly over there or run across it and avoid all the traps as they come." Kuro gave his idea.
"It seems we're stuck with the later." Kurama sign before he continues. "Kero, Kera, and Soupy, you three go first, but cross slowly and stop when there are no more floor sensors."
They did as he told, because of their wings the floor sensors was no trouble. Still better safe than sorry, they flew slowly and the glows stayed ahead of the trio lighting their way. They stopped about 25 yards from the starting point, give, or take a little. "The floor sensors stop here!" Kero yelled loudly so the other end could hear him.
"Wait there?" Kurama replied loudly. "This hall is not big enough for all of us to go at once, we should go in pairs. We've done this before so Kuro and I will go first, then Serena and Hiei, then Yusuke and Kuwabarra."
"Aren't you forgetting someone? What about Luna?" Kuwabarra had gotten fond of Luna; he has always been a kitten lover.
"I haven't forgotten about her. Hiei, you are the fastest out of all of us, so I believe it would be wisest if you take her with you." He turns to Luna and Hiei to ask for their approval. "Is that alright with you two?" Luna nods her head, agreeing. Hiei did not say anything, he just picks up Luna.
"Kuro." Kurama signal for his partner to get ready.
Kuro got the message and got in position, "Just like old time.
