"Just had to run into a tree branch, ne?" Spirit muttered. Once again, the ferry girls were stuck in the prisonment. They were all in the same smelly cell though. "How could I be so stupid!"
"It's not your fault, really." said Mai. She was trying to find another escape. "We dragged you for a while before they caught us in a cave. I think I hit your head on a tree."
Spirit felt her head and wince. "Yeah, it was a tree."
Miko grabbed her arm. "Someone is coming!" She said sharply. Samara and Mai hurried over to them as the door was unlocked. One demon came in.
"Bow down and we might spare killing you, Lord is here." He left them in wonder and someone stepped in. It was a old man with dark eyes. His black hair was graying at the roots and his face seemed as if he saw many years. Still, he had an icy intense look that made you want to look away.
"Are these the prisoners?" He asked himself. His voice was deep and dark. It had no humor. "What are you're names?"
"Tumai Pham, Miko Ichigawa, Mai Star, and Spirit Hitomeki." Mai said meekly. His eyes shot to Spirit.
"You are the sibling. I thought so."
Spirit cleared her throat. "You know my brother?"
Lord nodded. "I," he said. "I won't let you ruin my plans for the puppet. He can be very valuble to domination."
Spirit glared at him. "My brother is not a-"
"Be quiet girl!" He said in a booming voice. Spirit shut her mouth. "I will not let this so called love come in the way of power! The best part is to this capture is that you are a ferry girl. The baby won't know a thing!" He gave a even louder laugh. Miko covered her ears.
"You plan to take Reikai?!" Samara asked.
Lord smirked. "It's none of your problems now. I think...yes, I think Daisuke will be a perfect servant to this."
"So he knows we are prisoned?" Miko asked. Lord shook his head.
"Of course not. We shall save you until he acts out of line." The girls looked at each other confused so he explained. "Let's just say Daisuke has something he cares about, and I plan to make him a cold-hearted puppet. Good-bye." Lord left the girls to their thoughts.
Spirit stared at the closed door for a while. Mai look her arm. "Are you okay? I thought you didn't like your brother."
Spirit shrugged. "I thought so as well, but this 'lord' is only using him!" She said furiously.
"Whoa." Miko said. "I think you need some sleep."
"But-" Miko pressed on the bump on Spirit's head.
"Sleep, woman!" She snapped. Spirit rested her head on the wall, glaring at Miko for the throbbing in her head. It felt horrible, but Spirit finally drifted into slumber.

"Jenkin![1]" Yusuke yelled.
"Over chips?" Tenshi asked, rasing an eyebrow. He shrugged. "Okay!"
Botan smacked them both. "It's mine." She grabbed the bag of chips from the table. The two boys groaned. "Now come on! You have a fight today so go get ready."
Hiei watched as the two boys walked away. Botan smiled at Hiei. "Are you sure my breath is minty fresh for you?"
"Maybe." Hiei said. Botan threw the bag of chips at him. He caught it and placed it on the counter. "Are you looking for them again?"
Botan shook her head. "I'll be watching the fight. Yukina and Keiko are coming today."
"Did I hear Keiko?" Yusuke asked, running to Botan's side.
"Did I hear Yukina?" Kuwabara asked, standing beside Hiei. He had a lovesick smile on his face. Hiei scowled.
Botan nodded. "They are here for a the finals so look sharp!" She said, holding in her laughs. Kuwabara ran towards the bathroom and Yusuke followed. Botan held on to Hiei before he could strangle Kuwabara. "Come on, Hiei. Take deep breaths. Inhale, exhale."
Kurama past the furious Hiei and Botan. He looked at Hiei. "Let me guess, Yukina is coming?" Botan nodded and Kurama smiled. "I thought so."
The room became quiet as soon as the speakers came on. "Hello!" Miz voice said. "Welcome to the second day of the the pre-finals. The remaining teams shall fight on to see who gets into the final two! Now on to todays teams. First match will be Urameshi versus Neko, Nyu-chan versus the Jasc.."
"We go first!" Yusuke yelled.
"And finally Hitomi versus V team. The teams fighting will all be called upon from the speakers. Good Luck!" The speakers turned off.
"Well," Botan said. "Koenma and the girls should be here by now. I'll wait for them in the lobby."
Botan left the boys to their own deeds. Kuwabara came back from the bathroom with his hair slicked back. "So," he said excitedly. "What do you think?"
Yusuke stared for a while. Tenshi clapped Kuwabara on the back. "You look great, buddy. You know, you would look even better bald."
Kuwbara punched him in the back. "Shut up!" He turned to Kurama and Hiei, who have been hiding their smiles. "What do you two think?"
"Either way," Hiei said, glaring at him. "you still look like the baka you are."
"You look nice." Kurama said before Hiei and Kuwbara could start a fight. "Oh look there they are now!"
The door opened and Keiko and Yukina along with Koenma entered the room. Botan closed the door after them.
"Yusuke!" Keiko said, embracing him.
"Keiko! Ow!" Keiko smacked him once he tried to touch her butt. Kuwabara and Yukina were talking in a corner while Kurama kept Hiei distracted. Koenma had started a quiet conversation with Botan.
"I've had no new information about the island." Koenma informed Botan. She sigh. "They can't be far."
Botan nodded. "Right." Suddenly, the speaker came back on.
"Urameshi team please report to the stadium. Team Neko please report to the stadium."
Yukina looked at the team gathering together. "Good luck." She said, standing next to Keiko. Hiei gave Botan a final nod before walking out the door. Once the door had closed, Botan turned to the guest.
"So, do you want to go straight to the stadium?" She asked.
"Yeah." Keiko said. "Let's go."
*
Roaring fans, bright lights, demons glaring. It was all to familar for the Urameshi team. Yusuke led the team like he always did, Kuwabara and Tenshi coming in second, and Hiei and Kurama tailing behind. Well, atleast there was more cheers for them then boos. Once they entered the stadium, Team Neko appeared. All of them had catish ears and sharp eyes. A few of them had fur.
"Welcome fans! Today we watch Team Urameshi and Team Neko fight it out until only one team wins! Now, team captains, shake hands..or paws!" Yusuke and the team leader shook.
"I'm Tabby." She said, her voice sweeped like posion.
"Yusuke." They parted hands and Miz raised her hand. "Now, battle one! Ready....go!" Miz jumped off the stage and the fight started.
Yusuke tackled Tabby to the ground and Hiei launched himself at one of the bigger looking teammates. Swiftly, Hiei pulled out his katana and swiped. The cat he was fighting, or as Hiei liked to call him as Cat number six, grabbed his katana with his hands. Blood poured from his hand as Hiei applied more pressure. Soon enough, Cat number six let go and Hiei slapped him with the dull part of his blade.
"Ugh...." Cat six stumbled and fell to the floor. Hiei waited for a moment to see if he would arise again, but he didn't.
"Good." Hiei said to himself, dodging a spirit gun. He watched for a moment, for that was all they needed to finish.
Kurama set aside the bleeding enemy he had to fight just as Tenshi was finishing his. Kuwabara and Yusuke still fought, until Yusuke unleashed a big energy bomb. The stadium filled with dust and smoke and the crowd started to yell even louder. Miz peeked up from her hidden spot and brightened up just as the smoke was lifting. Hiei joined Yusuke in the middle of the stage, waiting for this to be over. Miz hopped back on stage just before the smoke was gone. "There you have it! Team Urameshi has once again passed! This is truely a great outcome!" Miz winked as her face appeared on the big screen. "Don't worry, demons! More action fight coming right after we get the bodies out of here!"
Team Urameshi walked out of the stage and back into the hallways. Tenshi sat down and sighed. "If all fights were that easy, we would have won a long time ago." He said, smiling. Yusuke gave him a thumbs up.
"No problem." Hiei just nodded. If he was going to be stuck with a baka like Tenshi, he might as well get use to it. Botan's face peeked from around the corner.
"There you guys are!" Botan exclaimed. She rounded the corner with Yukina and Keiko. "Good match."
Keiko crossed her arms. "It was a bit to fast though." She noted. Yusuke shrugged.
'We can't do anything about that. So how about we go back to the hotel room?" Yusuke asked. Tenshi stood up again.
"Great! I'm tried." Botan followed them, Hiei was too busy tailing Yukina and Kuwabara. Suddenly, a voice rang from the halls.
"Botan!" Koenma called out, running to catch up with them. He was in his teenage form. Everyone turned around. Koenma took no time for breaths. "We found were they are."
"You mean Spirit?" Kurama asked, his voice slightly suprised. Yukina and Keiko looked around, confused.
Koenma nodded. "As your job as part of the Reikai tantei, you are going."
"What happened?" Yukina asked. Kuwabara took her hands.
"It's okay, Kuzuma Kuwabara will save them." Hiei desperately wanted to slash him across the neck, but resisted for Yukina's sake.
Tenshi groaned. "And I wanted my rubber ducky and a bath." Keiko gave him a werid look, but he didn't seem to notice.
"Um, guys?" Botan asked. She was already on her oar. "Are we going to go?"
Yusuke nodded. "Of course!"
Keiko and Yukina watched as the Reikai tantei's ran out of the building. "Good Luck!" Yukina called, waving her hands. Kuwabara gave her a thumbs up as they ran off towards the woods, were they were sure to find the girls and trouble.
