Chapter 2
"There is it" Kurama said as they approached the tall tower.
"My brother said it is supposed to be like a rising labyrinth on the inside" Li Mei commented, recalling things her brother had said during their argument.
"Let's go already!" Yusuke complained "Let's go kick some saint beat butt!"
They went in and walked down a long corridor, ear the end was an eye with a pair of wings and some tentacles on it.
"Welcome to the castle of the four saint beasts" the floating eyes squeaked "To go further, you must pass a test.
one of the demon's tentacles pulled a lever and the ceiling came crashing down! Everyone was stuck squating while holding it up.
"What the hell!" Yusuke hollered.
"This is the gate of betrayel. the ceiling has been measured to to match the combined strength of all five of you. If even one lets up, you all die. or one of you could make a run for it and I will escort you directly to Lord Suzaku" The thing explained.
"Damn it! Alright Hiei... you go and I'll use my spirit energy to hold up your part" Yusuke said "And you lift the lever back up.
"I'll help too! I wouldn't have come if I was useless" Li Mei piped in.
"Hey Yusuke! I don't think its fair that you put our lives in the hands of the two faced shrimp!" Kuwabara snapped, fearing Hiei might betray them.
"Oh shut up! Look, Hiei is the fastest and if Li Mei and I work together, we'll have no problem holding this up long enough for him to lift the lever" Yusuke argued.
"Hmph, Fine... let's go" Hiei replied.
Yusuke and the princess gathered their spirit energy and gently pushed it up to take up Hiei's share of the weight. Hiei disappeared and reappeared in front of the lever.
"Ah, Hiei, holder of the jagan eye. You know if you let them all die, you could become a saint beast and work for the strongest demons alive! It would do wonders to your power, you would be invincible!" the demonic eye creature squeaked.
Hiei quickly cut a large gash down the center of the thing's eye with a scowl. The thing turned and quickly began to fly away.
"Tell your 'master' that I work for no one and they will be begging on their hand and knees for mercy before I am done" Hiei said, lifting the lever.
The ceiling lifted and everyone streached in relief.
"Well, Hiei, you really had us worried there" Kurama said, smiling.
"See, I knew i could count on you" Yusuke said.
"Me too" Li Mei said, kissing the demon's cheek.
Both Hiei and Yusuke scowled at the kiss, both for different reasons though, but Li Mei just giggled.
"Don't get used to it, I just play by my own rules" Hiei said, walking up ahead.
"He's just saying 'your welcome' in his own way" Kurama explained.
"Whatever" Yusuke answered.
"Heh, heh, yes, Yusuke, bring my princess to me" Suzaku said evilly, watching them from his tower, sitting regally in his chair.
"How exactly do you intend to obtain Princess Li Mei?" Murugu asked curiously.
"Either Genbu or Seiryu will snatch her for me, they have their orders" he said, sounding extermely pleased.
Things were going precisely how he planned and soon Li Mei would be his and the spirit detectives would all be dead.
A manical laugh escaped the saint beast leaders lips.
