"This just got worse," Yusuke moaned. He and Kuwabara were sitting on the sofa, trying to figure out a strategy for the next fight. "It turns out that Team Avorai has five members. There's Yukemonti, Lolatorgu, Ponti, Kuma, and Reti Avorai. Reti is the team leader." "I figured that," muttered Kuwabara. Yusuke looked up from the paper he was reading and glared at his teammate. "Sorry. I, uh, I think I'll be quiet now."

Yusuke continued to read. "According to this guide, they're all pretty strong. Yukemonti specializes in air, Lolatorgu in beasts, Ponti in water, Kuma in light, and Reti Avorai in energy. Not that I know what all that junk means."

Kuwabara thought for a minute. "Hey, most of that stuff we need to live. Right? We need water, air, light, and energy, or else we'll die." Yusuke looked at him. "You know what? You're right." Kuwabara almost fainted in shock. Yusuke practically never admitted that Kuwabara did actually have some brains.

"That team must specialize in life forces," the Detective continued. "Which could be a problem for us. But what are they gonna do? Water us ta death?"

Yusuke extended his right arm. His index finger pointed out, his thumb pointed up, and the rest of his fingers balled into a fist. He clutched his right wrist with his left hand. "SPIRIT GUN!!!!" he screamed. Kuwabara tensed his right hand. "SPIRIT SWORD!!" he shouted as his yellow Spirit Energy transformed into a sword. There was a flash of hot pink light. "ROSE WHIP!!!" yelled Kurama. The rose in his hand transformed into a long, thorn covered whip.

Hiei stood transfixed to the spot. He couldn't move. Why were his friends doing this? Why were they attacking him? As their attacks came closer, he bolted. Kurama anticipated his move and swung his whip wildly after the fire demon. Yusuke shot another blast of energy. Even the normally slow Kuwabara seemed faster as he lunged at Hiei again and again. Kurama's whip snagged a piece of Hiei's cloak. It shredded. Hiei abandoned it and continued to run. Yusuke's Spirit Gun blast missed him by a hair. The force sent him tumbling.

Kuwabara struck at the ground with his Spirit Sword, each time narrowly missing as the fire demon twisted and rolled. Finally Hiei decided there was no other option. He jumped up and reached to his side to unsheathe his katana. But it wasn't there.

Kurama took the opportunity to slice Hiei's arm with his whip. Hiei screamed as the thorns tore through his skin. Kurama laughed in glee. Yusuke swung at Hiei's face with a clenched fist and sent him flying.

The fire demon landed face first in the dirt. Kuwabara kicked him onto his back and put his foot on Hiei's chest, pinning him down. Hiei struggled, but Kuwabara was too strong. He was about to use his Fist of the Mortal Flame to escape, but Kurama skillfully lassoed his hands together. His three teammates gathered around him.

"You don't deserve to live," snickered Kurama. "Kill him, kill him, kill him," chanted Kuwabara and Yusuke. "No, Kurama, please," Hiei whimpered. Kurama pulled another rose out of his hair. The stem extended and ended in a sharp point. "Rose Spear," he cackled. "No," Hiei whispered. "Now die, Forbidden Child!" exclaimed Kurama. He thrust the spear downward into Hiei's heart. Blood pooled around his body. Hiei screeched as the world went black.
