Chapter 5: Giant Evil Beasties and Falling Ceilings and Annoyed Spirit Detectives, Oh My!!

After having fallen a ways down a portal, our two friends landed with a large 'THUD' on the gro

"OOF!! Libbafer, you are squishing me. GET OFF!!!" Annie yelled.

"My name is NOT Libbafer!! So don't call me that!!"

"But it's fun to annoy you. It's one of my favorite hobbies." Liz just grumbled and stood up dusting herself off. Looking around, they noticed that the other people, who were supposed to be there, weren't. "Hey, isn't Urameshi s'posed ta be here? He's late, as usual." Annie groused, before climbing into a nearby tree and sitting in it, getting the lay of the land.

"Annie, you have a very strange obsession with trees. I don't think it's healthy. Even before we came here, you always sat in that one oak tree in your backyard. Liz spoke up to her friend. Annie suddenly looked very sad.

"Libby? I really miss home. I miss my room, and all of our friends and family. Do you think that we'll ever get home? Or are we going to be stuck here forever. I thought it would be cool to come to the Yu Yu Hakusho world, but I really wanna go home." Liz just sighed.

She had been feeling the same. They all hid it well, but being here had worn on their nerves. Learning that she herself was a cat demon, Ally was a kitsune miko hanyou, (a powerful one at that. Nearly immortal) Sophy was a nature witch, and Annie was the last black mage could really confuse a person.

"I wish I could answer those questions Annie. I want to go home too. I'm positive out parents think we're dead or something. I'd give anything to get out of here. I don't want to be a demon with spiffy powers, or fight demons. I'd like to go back to Middle School, and all of the normalness of our lives. But we'll just have to wait and make the best of this situation." As she finished speaking, our two favorite detectives popped into view. Falling a little to the ground, Yusuke and Kuwabara started to talk.

"Geez, safe landing, yeah right. I can't believe Koenma, sending me on a case like this."

"Hey, Urameshi, are we gonna be able to handle this on our own? They are dangerous."

"Turning chicken Kuwabara? But a little back up would be nice." It was at that point in time that the Fugaki popped out of the ground and attack the two boys. They fought back, but were quickly overwhelmed.

"Damn, there are too many of them!!"

"AAAHHHH!!!! URAMESHI!!! I'm not sure, but I think that these things wanna EAT ME!!!"

"KUWABARA!!!" Yusuke didn't get very far as more of the fugaki latched onto him. "This is gonna be embarrassing if we get killed before we reach the stupid castle!!!" This is when two bright lights appeared, flying over the current battlefield. The fugaki quickly scattered. The lights disappeared as two figures appeared on another tree. Liz quickly recognized the two from her hiding place in the shadow of the tree were Annie had quickly fallen asleep.

"You look like you could use some help."

"If you can't handle those lowlifes, how do you expect to tackle the castle?" And then the lightning flashed.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the thieves. What are you doing here?" Yusuke exclaimed

"Consider it community service in lieu of jail time." Kurama politely explained.

"Hey, Kuwabara. Let me introduce you. That's Hiei, and that's Kurama."

"Well I don't know about you, but it sure is nice to have a helping hand."

"Helping is not the word. Listen, I'm only here to get the treasures the Saint Beasts beat me to. As far as I'm concerned, we're babysitting."

"What the hell is you problem shrimp?"

"Does a death wish cause you to speak that way to me?"

"Why you!!!" Kuwabara lunged forward attacking Hiei, and our swordsman easily blurred out of the way.

"As for you detective, I intend to exact my revenge on you, so consider this fair warning."

"Hiei, we must settle this current matter, before you start your own."

"Hn." And Kuwabara tried to attack Hiei again, falling flat on his face. That was just too much, and the girls started to laugh at the orange haired boy. The others looked over getting a grip on their weapons. Annie jumped down from her perch and Liz left the shadows.

"Hiya Urameshi! You can put the weapons away now; we ain't here to attack or anything. Genkai sent us to help you! I guess Koenma had the same idea."

"Took the words right outta my mouth, Annie." Liz could feel herself starting to blush the tiniest amount at the fact that the red haired kitsune was present.

Hiei, however, was glaring at the blond haired girl. 'That's the damn girl who stole my katana and stopped me from killing the Detective' Annie noticed the unfriendly gaze, and glared right back. She was still plenty pissed over the fact her Gameboy had been destroyed by her favorite anime character.

"Well, are we gonna go fight or what?" Kuwabara suggested. And so, the group of people started off towards Maze Castle.

"What a strange group of visitors."

"What shall we do with them, master?"

"They are nothing to be concerned about. Look at them arguing amongst themselves. They won't make it past the front gate."

"I really got to get the name of their decorator. I could use a giant fanged skull hanging off of my door." Annie mused. Liz smiled and shook her head at her friends' unusual taste. All six stood outside the large stone entrance, when Liz got a small shiver up her back.

"Guys, is there another way in? I'm getting a really bad feeling about this." She said eyeing the tunnel nervously. Annie nodded, clearly having gotten the same feeling.

"So, two little girls can't handle the big, bad, tunnel? Fine, you wait here and make sure we don't get attacked from behind. We'll send someone back when it's safe for you." Both girls looked at the smirking teen, and looked like they were about to slaughter him, and hang his head on a pike. Laughing to himself, the boys walked into the tunnel.

Hiei smirked at the remembrance of the girls face. He may not like the detective, but that girl just drove him up the wall. Farther in, a weird cross between a one eyed octopus and a bat appeared right at the end of the tunnel.

"Welcome to Maze Castle. Those who wish to enter must be tried by the Gate of Betrayal." The bat thing stated.

"What do you mean, 'tried'?" The bat thing fluttered over to a wall where a switch appeared. He pulled it down and the tunnel started to rumble.

"Urameshi? Why'd ya hafta ask?" Was all Kuwabara could say before the ceiling fell. The four tried to hold up the heavy stone segment, while the bat thing started to laugh.

"The gate is quiet keen, extremely sensitive, and very wicked. It will make the ceiling weigh just enough to match the strength of its victims. But just enough leeway remains for one to escape. If one chooses to escape, the others are crushed, and if you insist on teamwork, you will tire and all be crushed. As you can see, only traitors are allowed into the castle."

"Damn it. What are we gonna do? We just have to reach that lever." Yusuke thought to himself. That's when he felt fur brush against his leg. Chancing a look down, a small black wolf with silver paws and silver on the tips of its ears and tail crawled low on the ground followed by an even smaller purple cat with about three tails.

The two creatures got out through the ever shrinking crack, and while the cat lunged at the bat, slashing it viciously with its claws, the wolf got on its hind legs and grabbing the lever in its mouth, it jerked the lever down stopping the ceiling.

"Hey! Where did those animals come from?" Kuwabara wondered out loud. The others wondered this as well. Suddenly a boulder came slamming down on the wolf. Getting out from the suspended ceiling the wolf slipped out from behind the boulder, on which the cat was perched.

The cat quickly transformed and the same curly haired Liz sat on the large rock, with the exception of two purple cat ears and a purple cat tail. "I hate to say it, but we told ya so."

"Morons. THIS is why the world is in such bad shape. Mostly males run it." A voice came from the side where the wolf had recently been. Annie was lounging against the rock, only her hair had two black streaks on the side of her face, and her eyes were one green, one dark dark brown. She was a little thinner, her face a little longer; eyes more slanted, and had pointed ears.

"Annie? Liz? Izzat you?" Yusuke looked at them like they had grown two more heads each.

"Who else would we be? And next time we tell you we got a bad feeling, I'd suggest that you listen. You got lucky this time. No wonder Genkai sent us." Liz stated.

"I hope that Ally and Sophy found Botan alright." Annie mused yet again. Liz sweat dropped a little.

"That was a little random my friend."

"I am not known for my consistency. I enjoy being random. It scares and/or annoys people, two of my favorite hobbies."

"We might want to continue on into the castle. We should not waste time." Kurama suggested in his quiet voice. Nodding, they all set off into the castle, to face the first beast.

"Aaallllyyy!!! We've been searching for two hours and we haven't found Botan!!! I'm starting to get hungry!" Sophy complained to the other girl.

"Well, at least we managed to squish 30 of those nasty little bug things in the process. That's a good thing. And we can't stop for food, so quit whining." Ally informed Sophy. It was then they spotted a blue haired ferry girl wandering around with a metal bat.

"OI!! BOTAN CHAN!!!" Sophy hollered as she broke into a run. Ally followed quickly.

"Hello Ally chan, Sophy chan. Why are you here?" Botan questioned.

"Genkai sent us to help you with the infested humans. You can always use some help, right?" Ally said, filling her in on were the other two were.

"Of course! I would be delighted. I could use some help. I've only killed 15 bugs, but I've managed to knock out quiet a few infected humans."

"Well, let's split up three ways. We have communicators, so we'll call if anything happens. Botan, you go down that street, I'll go this way, and Sophy take downtown. Got it?" Receiving no objections the three broke off, and headed towards their respective areas, to squish more of the evil demon bugs, and to knock infected humans over the head. Ally chose to use a large club/stick and Sophy decided to use a very thick book. And so the battle for the Bug Whistle had begun.
