hey everybody it's kairi, and I just wanted to tell you guys thanks for the reviews, I don't own the yu yu hakusho(but I hope to someday)sigh, well things are really heating up now the shizuru is back in the picture, well, read away!

"Just what do you boys think you're doing?" she asked.

"Run along little missy, we just wanna take these two down to the station." the standing security guard said helping his partner up.

"Screw that! Those brats are dead!" he said taking out his knight-stick once he was on his feet.

Keiko backed away with a terrified look on her face, "Yeah, you're not so tough now are you?" the security guard said coming closer to her.

Shizuru jumped in and kicked him to the floor, "Come on!" she said and the three girls ran out of the store into the grand-hall.

"Now where do we go?" Keiko asked looking around.

Botan looked around, "Up there, the elevator!" she pointed.

"What about it?" Keiko asked.

"I'll tell you when we get there come on!" she exclaimed, and so Shizuru and Keiko followed her up the stairs to the elevator. "Hurry and get in!" Botan called opening the door.

"They're coming!" Shizuru exclaimed, noticing that Keiko was falling behind.

"Hurry!" Botan exclaimed.

"I-I can't!" Keiko called.

"Come on!" Shizuru exclaimed grabbing Keiko's hand.

"Get back here!" the security guards exclaimed.

Keiko and Shizuru barely beat the security guards into the elevator, they dove in head first landing on the cold steel, "Shut the door!" Shizuru exclaimed and Botan instinctively pushed the button.

"Now what?" Keiko asked as the elevator began to move and the guards ran over to the stairs.

Botan walked over to the main powersource of the elevator, then pushed a button the said "OFF" and the elevator came to a halt.

"You brought us in here so you could trap us in an elevator?" Shizuru asked.

"No, of course not." Botan smiled pointing to the ceiling of the elevator.

"Oh, an emergency exit." Keiko said.

"Well I'm impressed Botan, last time we listened to you we got lost in a forest for about two hours." Shizuru smiled.

"I guess we've both really changed." Botan replied cheerfully, "By the way, what are you doing at the mall?" Botan asked.

"Well Keiko wasn't home and I had some extra cash so I thought I'd just come blow it out here, life's been so boring after the Dark Tournament." Shizuru exclaimed.

"Yes, I must admit that is one of my all time favorite vacations." Botan said putting her hands on her hips.

"So how are we going to get up the that door?" Keiko asked.

"Well I was hoping Shizuru would let us climb up on her shoulders." Botan said looking over to her, "Are you up for it?" she asked.

"Well we're probably gonna be on the nine o'clock news, so why don't we just let them think that we're a bunch of crazed trapezes performs." she replied.

"Oh that's what I missed the most about you Shizuru, you're complex sarcasm and you're incredible strength, now if Yukina were only here, it'd be just like old times!" Botan exclaimed happily.

"By the way, where did Yukina go after the tournament anyway?" Keiko asked.

"It's a long story, I'll explain later, right now we've gotta get out of here." Botan said climbing onto Shizuru's shoulders, then she opened the door, "Bingo!" she exclaimed.

"Did you get it?" Keiko asked.

"Yeah, here I go." Botan replied climbing up onto the top of the elevator.

"Come on Keiko you're up kid." Shizuru said.

Keiko nodded and then began to climb up onto her shoulders and Botan pull her onto the top of the elevator.

"Phew Now how are we gonna get Shizuru up here?" Keiko asked.

Botan walked over to the glass door and saw one of the large pieces of cloth that lined the mall's walls, then she bent over to the door, "Hey Shizuru, this cloth up here can only hold two people." Botan started.

"It's alright, you and Keiko will be much safer up there, I can handle those two." Shizuru replied.

"No, you don't have to wait for us, just run to the nearest bus stop, don't stop no matter what." Botan instructed.

"Alright, but you two stay out of trouble." Shizuru called back.

"OK, but when you see us swing on the cloth, turn on the elevator and run like crazy!" Botan said.

"Gotcha," Shizuru nodded, "Now get your butts up there!" she exclaimed.

Botan nodded and then got up to open the glass door, then she turned to Keiko, "Keiko listen, no matter what hang on to me as tight as you can, we're going to have to jump into that fountain, it's about three feet deep, so we should be able to manage." Botan said.

"Right." Keiko said nodding her head.

Botan opened the glass door and took the cloth off the wall, "Hang on tight Keiko!" she exclaimed, Keiko nodded and held on to Botan's waist. "Now Shizuru!" she exclaimed using the cloth to swing toward the fountain.

Shizuru turned back on the main power source and sent the elevator back to the first floor and began to run for the door. "You stop right there!" the security guards called in unison, but Shizuru didn't pay any attention.

"Watch out Shizuru!" Botan as she and Keiko swung past her, she ducked out of the way and then Botan and Keiko let go, splashing into the fountain.

Shizuru stopped by the fountain, "You guys alright?" she asked helping them out.

"There's no time, let's go before we miss our bus!" Botan exclaimed grabbing Keiko by the hand and running out of the mall.

"Damn, those broods better not show up at this place again, or there's gonna be hell to pay." the guard that Keiko slapped said rubbing his cheek.

"Come on," the other said, "I'll get you some ice.

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei all ran as fast as they could to catch up to zombies. "I think they're leading us to the meadow up ahead." Kurama said.

"Yeah, that would explain why all those other zombies are there." Kuwabara said.

"Then that probably means Nozomi is there as well and is in considerable danger." Kurama replied.

"Well let's get moving!" Yusuke exclaimed knocking one of the zombies off the zombie horse and getting on, "Yuck! These guys wreak!" he exclaimed.

"Now is not the time to complain Yusuke, we'll just have to make do with what we have." Kurama said following Yusuke's example, Hiei and Kuwabara did as well.

"YIHA!" Kuwabara exclaimed as the boys went around the zombies that they were following and headed for the other group. Everyone drew their weapons as they went into the final confrontation.
