Chapter five- Objective One: Take Back The Palace


Kurama woke up and looked at his surroundings. Yusuke and Kuwabara were sleeping on opposite sides of the campfire, if Kuwabara was any closer to the campfire he would have been in the fire. Kaji and Taiyai were asleep under a tree, snuggling close to each other. Kurama got up and quietly left the forest.

About five minutes passed and Kaji came out of the forest, Taiyai soon followed him. Another five minutes passed and Kuwabara and Yusuke were still asleep. Kaji and Taiyai looked at Kurama and Kaji said, "You have control over plants right?" Kurama nodded and Kaji said, "Well then go and wake them up…they are in a forest after all." Kurama walked over to a tree and just stood there. About a half of a minute later Yusuke and Kuwabara came flying out the forest. Yusuke and Kuwabara stood up and looked in Kurama's direction.

"What the hell was that for Kurama?"

Kurama looked at Yusuke and said, "What? I didn't do anything…"

Yusuke looked at Kurama and said, "Really? Then two vines just randomly threw Kuwabara and me out of the forest for no reason what so ever?" Kurama just shrugged and walked over to Kaji and Taiyai while snickering slightly.

Kuwabara and Yusuke went over to the group. Kaji then said, "We should head to the palace now." Everyone nodded and they walked toward the palace. They walked about a mile and then arrived at a large palace. Kaji and Taiyai stopped walking about a mile away from the palace and looked at the ground, "Darn it…"

Everyone stopped walking and stared at Kaji and Taiyai. Kaji and Taiyai noticed the staring and Taiyai said, "What's with the staring?"

Everyone continued to stare and Kurama said, "You stopped walking and mumbled 'darn it.' We stare to figure out why you did that."

Kaji and Taiyai looked at each other and then at the group. Taiyai then said, "The palace has been taken over by Atakai's forces…"

Everyone stared with slight confusion, "Who is Atakai?"

Taiyai and Kaji looked at each other, and then at the group and Kaji said, "Atakai is the one who kidnapped the princess." Everyone gave an approving nod to signify they understood.

Taiyai then said, "So now we have to get the palace back…" Taiyai turned to face Kuwabara and Yusuke and said, "You two will attack the soldiers with blue armor." Taiyai turned to face Kurama and said, "You will attack the soldiers with green armor." Everyone nodded and charged at the palace. Kurama pulled out his rose whip, Kuwabara got his spirit sword, Yusuke powered up his spirit gun, and Kaji and Taiyai drew fire swords. Everyone attacked the soldiers they were told to. They made their way through the palace until they got to a large empty room.

Everyone looked around the room. The room was dark, empty and quiet.

"It's quiet…too quiet…"

"Boo! NOW IT'S NOT QUIET ANYMORE!"

"Kuwabara you idiot! Shut up!"

Everyone stood still and silent as they studied their surroundings. As they looked around they suddenly heard someone laugh evilly behind them. Everyone turned around to see an evil looking man that had firey red-orange hair with black on the tips. His eyes were a dark blood red, maybe even black. He wore a red, black, and purple sorcerer's robe.

The man smirked evilly and Kaji and Taiyai's eyes went wide.

"Atakai…"
