Chapter 2

Los Colinus

Yusuke stretched as they got off the plane in Quito, Ecuador. He looked around to see that South America was much more beautiful than he had expected. He was taken aback by every plant there. They were very exotic and beautiful.

"Finally we are here," Hiei said annoyed the airplane trip had taken so long, "Human transportation is so slow." He started to walk toward the exit, but Kurama put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"Be patient Hiei," said Kurama, "I want to shed blood of an enemy too, but we must stay together." Hiei knew Kurama was right, so he stopped and waited impatiently for Yusuke to cease enjoying the sites and start to get down to business. Finally Yusuke stopped staring at the gorgeous scenery and walked over to the group.

"Ok. I'm ready to start the mission." He flipped open his mirror communicator to get more information on where the Island was. He chatted with Boton for a few minutes and then he said goodbye and hung up. "She said it is directly west of this airport. So let's start walking since I don't have any money to rent a cab."

Two hours later, they arrived at the coast. They looked around to see that everybody was in swim wear except them.

"So where is the Island?" Yusuke said as he looked over the waves in the ocean to try to see a patch of land.

"There." Kurama exclaimed pointing to the left of where Yusuke was looking. There in the middle of the ocean was a huge island.

"How are we supposed to get there? That is at least 500 yards away from this beach, in the ocean!"

"This man might assist us," said Hiei looking at a fat 40 year old man renting out boats. As soon as he said that he had disappeared and was right next to the man. "I need your biggest and nicest boat."

"That will be $100 for 30 minutes."

"No you don't understand." Hiei pulled out his sword from its sheath and put it to the man's neck. "Now you will let me use the boat."

"Take it take it I don't need it just don't hurt me." distressed the man as he pleaded for his life.

"Give me the keys now." said Hiei while he lightly eased his blade from the man's neck. The man gave the keys to Hiei.

"Thanks for the ride." said Hiei with a smirk on his face. He waved for Yusuke and Kurama to follow. They did and went with him to the boat. They drove the ship to the Island and parked it in some tall bushes to conceal it. They started walking but soon drop to the ground as explosions started to go off around them.

"Land mines." Kurama said with definitely written all over his face. " It's a miracle that we did not land on any of them when we hit the ground."

"Ohh great. How are we suppose to get out of this mess?" Yusuke said demoralized at yet another life threatening predicament.

"I think I have an idea," said Hiei who had been quiet about this problem until now, "You see that tree over there?" He pointed at a large palm tree hanging low from the weight of the coconuts hanging from it. "I am going to jump to that tree use it as a type of spring to get to the part of land ahead that doesn't have any explosives, then you and Kurama will wrap yourselves in a rose whip that does not have thorns. You will throw the other end to me and I will use that to bungee you two to where I am."

"A very extravagant plan, Hiei, but It is a slim to none chance that it will work." Kurama concluded

"It will work." said Hiei with confidence as if he had done this before.

With that, Hiei jumped to the tree that he had pointed to earlier. He landed as planned on the palm tree and was rocketed to the welcoming grass away from the mines. Kurama and Yusuke had already tied themselves together with the whip.

"Ok, throw over the end so that I can launch you over."

Yusuke Threw the rope over to Hiei. Hiei caught it with ease and tested the rope's strength by pulling it taut a few times. Then with a tremendous pull and a small grunt Kurama and Yusuke flew into the air and landed with a thud beside Hiei.

"Glad you could joining." Hiei said with the biggest smile you could get out of a guy like Hiei. They started to walk again. They had walked for about a hour or two when Yusuke suddenly stopped. "We're here," he said pointing at a large mansion on the top of a hill ahead.

"So you're the intruders who set off those land mines." They turned around to see two enormous demons, both about 12 feet tall, carrying machetes.

"Finally a warm up," said Hiei. He took off his overcoat and pulled out his sword. He stood there waiting to defend. One of the demons, with lightning speed, struck at hiei with an agressive strike. He looked down expecting to see a demon carcass drenched in blood, but nothing was there just a wide gap where his sword had entered the ground.

"On top of your head!" Yelled the other demon, but before he could react a sword went into his skull. He fell with thunderous noise. Hiei pulled out the bloody sword. The other demon horrified at what had just happened started to run, but before he could get far a blue blast of spirit energy hit him tearing through all that was in its path including the demon's rib cage.

"Should we get going?" said Yusuke blowing on his finger which was smoking from the freshly fired shot he had just made.

"Let's," said Kurama.

They had made it to the mansion and swiftly took care of all the guards. The trio of fighters walked into the gigantic house as if they owned the place. They walked down a long hall carpeted with a beautiful blood red carpet. The group entered what they thought used to be a living room but, had been changed to an art gallery. They were stunned at all the art pieces. Some were abstract and complicated, while others were straightforward and simple. In the center of this art gallery was a glass case, and in the glass case, on velvet cloth, was the orb of fire. Yusuke reached for the orb. The orb's orange red color was so pleasing to the eye that it made him understand why somebody would want to steal it.

"Now Yusuke do you think I would be that brainless as to have the orb out here all by itself without no type of guarding on it what so ever." Yusuke didn't recognize this voice that he heard. He turned around to see Kurama and Hiei were staring at a dark skinned man about 7 feet tall. He was holding a black cane with the real orb of fire on top of it as a holding spot for the owner. " My name is Rasheen and I believe you are the intruders I am about to kill."
