Thank you for all the reviews!! :) I will try to slow down so I won't make as many mistakes. Sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been busy with stuff, nothing seriously important, and my little brother had the computer.
Chapter 4: The Water Amulet
Water. There's water everywhere. Surrounded. Need air. There's a cave. Inside, and up, there's no water. Air. Air to breath. There's a man. He has blue hair, and a blue robe. There's something familiar about this place. Closer, he has a amulet with a sapphire in it. His eyes open, and they're just as blue as the jewel. He speaks,"Mira. You are chosen to find me and my brothers, instead of the Orb. Help us, and we will help you. We will kill those that hurt you. Those 'Spirit Detectives' don't care about you. They won't help you. But I can, and will. Free me. Mira." Silence."Mira!"
"Mira, wake up. Mira! Are you ok?" Yusuke says, looking at Mira as she opens her eyes."What the hell happened. You just passed out."
"Are you ok?"Kurama asked.
"Fine. I just...had one of the visions, about where the Lords are. Or, where the one with the Water amulet is." Mira said, avoiding their eyes. Should I tell them about the offer? No. Should I help him? They did help me get out, but...I can't think now. I'll decide later, Mira thought.
"Can we go? I want to get this stupid mission over." Yusuke said, trying to sound angry, but Mira could see that he was actually worried, but trying to hide it.
"Yeah. We need to go to the ocean, and Botan can take us out there until I find the area." Mira said.
"Don't you know where it is, exactly?" Kurama asked.
"More or less. I will be able to recognize the area, and there will be a certain...feel about the are. The energy will be...different. Old." Mira said.
"Different? How? I'll be able to feel it." Kuwabara said.
"Ancient. Strong. Dark. That's the feeling the area gives me, at least when I'm in the dream." Mira said.
"Well, lets go! If it's in the middle of the ocean, then we'll need lots of time to get out there.!" Botan said cheerfully.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Somewhere in the middle of the ocean~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They had been flying for about two hours, with a couple of stops while they rested from sitting on the oar for so long by swimming in the ocean. Kuwabara and Yusuke had gotten into a couple of fights, splashing each other, and finally convincing Botan and Mira to play. Kurama had held back, watching, making sure Kuwabara and Yusuke didn't seriously fight, and splashing them occasionaly, but Hiei stayed away, silent as always.
Now, they had stopped again, and Mira looked around."Here. The cave is somewhere here."
"Ugh, now I see what you ment about dark and old. This place is creepy." Kuwabara said.
"Thats because this place has been mostly empty of life since the Dark Lord came. The animals fear him and this area. We'll have to dive. I hope you guys are good swimmers." Mira said as she dived into the water. Soon after, the others followed. Mira popped back up to the surface."Botan, stay well above the water. Animals may have stayed away, but there are...creatures that haven't. Be careful."
"You too. Take care. I'll be ready for you." Botan said, hovering several feet above the surface. Mira smiled, and dove again. The group swam, following after her as she swam deeper and deeper, looking for the cave. They had to resurface a couple of times before she tapped Kurama's arm, and pointed to a hole in some rocks that she had discovered. They rose to the surface again.
"There. Did you see it?" She asked as Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei came up.
"Yes. It looked rather small. I'm not sure that all of us will be able to fit through it." Kurama said, worried.
"We will, but I don't think Kuwabara will. He might get stuck, and that's not a good idea around here." Mira said, looking at Kuwabara.
"What! You can't leave me behind!"Kuwabara said.
"If you really want to get stuck, fine. We won't help you when you get stuck." Hiei said.
"Come on. You're staying Kuwabara." Yusuke said, diving, leaving an angry Kuwabara behind. They swam towards the hole, and Hiei went first. He looked around. Nothing. The others came through as well. They started to swim to a light that could be seen above, when suddenly, four things began swimming towards them. The looked like sharks, but had the eyes of cats, and arms with large claws. They smiled, showing of rows of needle sharp teeth. They swam straight at Mira. She froze, and suddenly grabbed her sword and swam towards the creatures, ready to fight. Hiei did the same, while Yusuke powered up for a Spirit Gun, but unable to use because he might hit them. Mira and Hiei slashed at the creatures, dodging the many claws and teeth. Mira grabbed her arm as a claw tore the flesh. Hiei killed the creature that had attacked her, and pulled her away from them, thrusting his sword into the last one's mouth, just as it was about to bite Mira's other arm. Kurama and Yusuke swam over and pulled a struggling Mira up to the surface. She pulled away, and climbed on to the floor of the cave.
"I didn't ask for your help, Hiei. I could of handled it." Mira said angrily to Hiei.
"Yeah, and now you would have been armless. He said, turning away to look around. The cave wasn't very large, big enough for them, and the stone bed with the man on it. Mira walked past Hiei, elbowing him out of the way.
"Taatsae." She whispered, looking at the Amulet lying on his chest.
"Help me, Mira. Only you. I will help you. Remember what I said." He whispered in her head. Should I? She asked herself. No, Hiei did help me, even if I didn't want his help. I can't betray them now.
"Mira?" Kurama asked, looking at her worridly. She looked like she might have one of those dreams.
"Huh? Oh! I'm fine." She said reaching for the Amulet, and pulling it of Taatsae's neck.
"NO!" His voice sounded in her head.
She shivered."Lets get out of here." She said, just as the place started to shake. They ran, and jumped into the water. They swam for the hole, and had trouble getting through. The shaking had caused the hole to become smaller. After finally getting through, they noticed that there were more creatures coming. They rushed to the surface, needing air. Yusuke made a gun shape with his hands, pointing at the water.
"Spirit Gun!" He yelled, blasting the creatures, and causing many large waves.
"That was stupid, Urameshi!" Kuwabara said, swimming over to them.
"At least it got rid of them." He yelled back.
"You guys want to get out of here?" Botan asked flying over to them. They got on, and they flew back to Koenma's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Back at Koenma's Palace~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"One down, four to go!"Yusuke said."So where's the next one?"
"Uhh...I don't exactly know" Mira said with a nervous smile on her face.
"What! How can you not know?" Yusuke yelled.
"I haven't had that dream yet." Mira said defensively.
"Do you have any idea where they might be?" Kurama asked.
"Somewhere with fire, thats where we'll find the ruby, in the earth, like a jungle, we'll find the emerald, in the air will be the diamond one, and in the snow will be the pearl. I don't know the names yet, either. That also comes in the dreams. We'll just have to wait until I have another dream." Mira said.
"Yes, wait. Why don't you take a break back in Ningenkai while we wait, Yusuke. Take that break." Koenma said.
"Hey, I can go see my precious Yukina!" Kuwabara said.
"Finally. The break I deserve." Yusuke said.
"It's not permanent. Only until Mira has another dream." Kurama said.
"Umm, where do you go when you're done here?" Mira asked. More importantly, where will I go? I don't have a home anymore, she thought.
"I go home and be Shuuichi(A/N:Did I spell that right? That name's spelling always confuses me.). That's my name as a human. Yusuke and Kuwabara go home, and Hiei goes somewhere." Kurama said.
"Ok. Any idea's where I can stay?" Mira asked.
"You can't stay with me. My mother would notice." Kurama said.
"You can stay with my sister and me. She knows about this spirit stuff." Kuwabara said.
"I guess. Only until I have another dream." Mira said. "What's wrong Yusuke? You look like you're upset about something.
"Huh? Oh, nothing." Yusuke said. Only that Keiko might be upset. I was gone for a long time, and didn't tell her about my stupid mission. She's gonna hit me, I know it. He thought as they walked out of the Palace.
How was that? Do you like it? I rememered to go back over and check for mistakes. I think I got them all. Please review. Bye.
