Chapter 5: Cave of Wonders

(Younger Toguro slides out from behind a secret door)

Botan: Toguro!

Younger Toguro: (Starteld) Oh, princess. (slams door on his brother, still in parrot form)

Elder Toguro: Gack! (whispering) Brother, I'm stuck.

Younger Toguro: (ignoring his brother) How may I be of service to you, princess.

Botan: Karasu and Bui just took a boy from the market, on your orders!

Younger Toguro: Your father has charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah. The boy was a criminal.

Botan: What was his crime.

Elder Toguro: (tugging at his brother's cape, whispering) I can't breathe. Brother!

Younger Toguro: (still ignoring his brother) Why...kidnapping the princess, of course.

Elder Toguro: (whispering, nearly out of breath) Brother...if you could just...(Younger Toguro kicks him back through the door) Aaaaaaaah! That hurt!

Botan: He didn't kidnap me. I ran away.

Younger Toguro: Oh, dear. Oh how frightfully upsetting. Had I but known.

Botan: What do you mean?

Younger Toguro: Sadly, the boy's sentence has already been carried out.

Botan: What sentence?

Younger Toguro: Death. By beheading.

Botan: (gasps and covers her mouth in shock)

Younger Toguro: I am exceedingly sorry princess.

Botan: How could you? (runs out the door crying)

Elder Toguro: (Flutters in, gasping for air.) Haaa! (regaining composier) So, how did it go?

Younger Toguro: (smiling) I think she took it...rather well.

(Botan is crying in the courtyard when Shizuru walks up to comfort her.)

Botan: (hugging Shizuru) It's all my fault. I didn't even know his name.

(Kurama sits in the dungeon)

Kurama: (talking to himself) You ass! She was the princess. I can't believe I said all that. I must have sounded so stupid to her.

Hiei: Uh, excuse me. Am I interrupting?

Kurama: Hiei, down here. Help me outta these.

Hiei: Why should I? All you did today was swoon over that girl. I thought I was going to be sick.

Kurama: Hey she was worth it.

Hiei: Oh, come now, Kurama. Don't start that shit again.

Kurama: Don't worry. I'll never see her again. I'm a street rat remember. And there's a law. She has to marry a prince. (Hiei manages to pick the lock and Kurama massages his wrists) She deserves a prince. (Sighs) I'm a fool.

Old Man:You're only a fool if you give up, boy.

Kurama: Who are you?

Old Man: A lowly prisoner, like yourself. But together, perhaps more.

Kurama: I'm listening.

Old Man: There is a cave boy. A cave of wonders. Filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd wager.

Elder Toguro: (wriggles under his brother's disguise) Hey, can you hurry it up? I'm dying in here.

Kurama: But the law says that only a prince can...

Younger Toguro: You've heard of the golden rule right. Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Kurama: So why would you share all this treasure with me?

Younger Toguro: I need a young pair of legs and a strong back to go in after it.

Kurama: One problem. It's out there. We're in here.

Younger Toguro: Ah, ah, ah. Things aren't always what they seem.

(uses cane to push a block out of the way to reveal an exit)

Younger Toguro: So...do we...have a deal?

(Outside Cave of Wonders)

Cave: Who disturbs my slumber?

Kurama: It is I, Kurama.

Cave: Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp! (Opens mouth.)

Younger Toguro: Remember boy. First fetch me the lamp, and then you will have your reward.

Kurama: Come on, Hiei.

(Kurama and Hiei enter a room filled with gold.)

Kurama: Damn. Just a handful of this would make me richer than the sultan.

(Hiei dashes for a pile of gold)

Kurama: Hiei, no!

Hiei: (Stops) Why not? it's all just sitting here.

Kurama: Did you already forget? We're only here for the lamp. Let's keep moving.

(Hiei follows Kurama, though he's still disappointed. A magic carpet follows behind and startles Hiei.)

Hiei: Kurama!

Kurama: What? (Sees the carpet) A magic carpet.

Carpet: (shys away)

Kurama: Hey, come on. We're not gonna hurt you. Maybe you can help us. We're trying to find this lamp.

(Carpet leads the two into a room where the lamp sits on a tall pillar)

Kurama: Rose Whip! (Launches whip up to the top of the pillar. He looks at Hiei.) Wait here.

(Hiei does as he is told but spies the biggest gem he has ever seen and lets loose a greedy grin.)

Kurama: (Climbs the whip and reaches the top) This is it. (Grabs lamp) This is what he came all the way down here to...(Notices Hiei is about to swipe the gem) Hiei, NO!

Hiei: (Grabs the gem.)

Cave: Infidels! You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now you will never again see the light of day!

(The cave starts to fall apart.)

Kurama: Time to go. Let's move!

(Make their way to the front of the cave. Carpet gets hit by a large rock and falls while Kurama and Hiei hit what was once the steps and cling for dear life.)

Kurama: (to Younger Toguro) Give me your hand!

Younger Toguro: Throw me the lamp!

Hiei: For Allah's sake, we can't hold on. Give him your hand!

Younger Toguro: First give me the lamp.

Kurama: (Hands Toguro the lamp)

Younger Toguro: (Smiles) Good. Now for your reward. (Pulls out a sword) Your eternal reward.

Hiei: (slices at Toguro's arm with his sword)

(Kurama and Hiei fall all the way back into the cave and Carpet breaks their fall)

(Both Toguros stare at what was once the Cave of Wonders)

Younger Toguro: (Laughs) It's mine. It's all mine. (Reaches into his cloak) It's...where is it? No? NNNNOOOO!
