-Chapter 4: Assemble the troops and a tortured prisoner.-
Five minutes later at Genki's shrine. "I told you to leave them alone," said the spirit detective Yusuke Urameshi, "their having some sort of girly party." "Well I just wanted to see my tatta hitori no watshi (my one and only) for a measly hour or two." Said the annoyingly persistent Kuwabara.
The two boys were sitting on the main shrine steps arguing about trivial things and the hotheaded Hiei sat on a tree limb near by trying to ignore them. "Oh shut-up baka!" said Hiei sounding bored. "Shut-up shrimp!" Kuabara shot back. "What??" snapped Hiei drawing his sword. "You short and deaf?!" "Heh. believe what you will baka it means nothing to me." He replied sheathing his katana. "Ok you two…can it." Scolded Yusuke mockingly. "Screw you Urameshi" "Alright that's it" Yusuke shouts and punches Kuwabara in the face. Wam!
The two boys scrap with Hiei looking on with mild interest until Genki comes out and slaps them upside their thick heads. Just then Kurama stumbles out of a portal clutching a video tape.
'Hey Kurama what's going on? What's that? Is it our next case?" Yusuke asked. Kurama nodded trying to ketch his breath, "Let's…..watch……..we need…….to hurry…….its very important" he breathed.
Minutes latter they assemble around Genki's TV. Kurama pops in the video and they all sit down to watch. The Spirit World video intro…….. ( Which is Lame)…… "Attention spirit detectives!' Calls Kowenma as he comes up on the screen, as a teenager.
"This mission is of utmost importance. It is crucial that you complete this mission in less than two days before the lunar eclipse occurs. Otherwise the whole world could be obliterated. It seems that Kruama has had what we call a true vision, when a person has dreams of real events. Since this happened no less than four times it leaves little doubt in my mind that this was a coincidence.
The mission is another rescue but unlike Yukina's case, the prisoner is not being held by a group of crime lords. She is being held by a demon they call "The master" his actual name is yet unknown. He and his followers have managed to steal a sacred book that was rumored to hold many powerful spells and incantations. The book can be used for good or evil and it holds the secret to unlocking the thunder gate that is sacred to the Lightning clan. The subjects name is Kela a Two hundred year old hanyou Thunder-cat demon. A picture of a slender girl with silvery blonde hair, white cat ears and a pair of deep blue eyes comes on screen.
There's a sharp intake of breath from Kurama and the others glance at him with knowing smiles. She is an expert thief of rare and valuable items, lock pick, code breaker, and a fierce fighter. She is also the sole guardian of the elemental key that opens the gate and controls the power of storms. The book in her captor's possession tells how the key can be extracted from another and put into another and in the wrong hands it could be a deadly weapon."
"If she's so powerful why is she a captive?" asked Yusuke "shhh" he's still talking they all hissed at him. Yusuke looking extremely annoyed glared at the TV as the prince of Renki continued to speak. "We have reason to believe that her captors have used one of the powerful spells in the book on her preventing her from using her powers against them, until they can perform the rite that will extract the key.
Here are some clips from kurama's dreams we took…." A clip of the 'burning shrine and dead mentor scene' grumbles around the room, a clip of the 'starvation scene' more grumbles, a clip of the 'beaten scene' gasps around the room, clip of the 'flogging scene'………. Educes screams of outrage.
"What the hell no one treats a girl this way that master dude has another thing coming if he thinks the mighty Kuzuma Kuwabara will let him get away with that!" Yelled Kuwabara as he stood up. Yeah that bastards got some nerve, he's gonna pay!" agreed Yusuke punching his hand into his fist. The two demons however were silent. Hiei had a disgusted look on his face, Kurama however was shaking with silent fury his hands were clenched so tightly that he cut his palms with his nails and the blood was now dripping on the floor. " Be careful on this mission we have received information from our spies that this so called 'Master' has bobby trapped his fortress against intruders and has employed some nasty demons to protect him.
"I will have a portal opening in Genki's courtyard momentarily; make haste for time is running out. And with that the video ended and the detectives ran outside and leaped into the swirling portal that would take them to the fortress in Maki where she was being held.
