Chapter 6: Shimei no muri 4 Mission impossible 4 part I

'When do you think we should have the cremation?' Genkai asked Koenma, who decided to stop by. Koenma sighed.

'I was actually thinking of having him interred,' he said as Genkai widened her eyes. She then shook her head.

'No, cremation is better despite him being a fire demon,' Genkai said. Kurama came in, still hurt from yesterday.

'Are you still sure he's dead?' Kurama asked, holding his bandaged arm. Genkai sighed.

'Kurama, his body will go bad if we just leave him like that; it would be at least better to cremate him… or inter, if anything,' Genkai told Kurama. Kurama shook his head.

'I keep thinking he's alive; I really doubt he's dead,' Kurama argued with the old hag. She sighed.

'Well, I think there is one way to get proof of him being alive,' Genkai sighed, 'but I don't think it is possible.'

'It's like mission impossible 4! Dun dun dun-dun dun dun dun-dun,' Kuwabara came in out of nowhere. Everybody sighed.

'What is it, Genkai?' Yusuke asked, coming in. She raised an eyebrow and then spoke.

'First of all, you were all spying?' she asked. They looked at the ceiling and whistled. She sighed.

'Anyways, there is a certain plant that can "revive" someone who is knocked out, but not dead. If we can feel just a small pulse from Hiei that means that he was 'KO'ed really badly,' Genkai explained. Kurama held his arm more as the pain suddenly increased.

'Where is it?' Yusuke asked.

'The problem is, I don't know,' Genkai said. Everybody did the anime fall. Timber came in all of a sudden.

'Are you all having a meeting or something?' she asked. They sighed and told her that she could come.

'Timber, Kurama still thinks that Hiei is alive,' Genkai told Timber, 'so we are going to get the proof. If you guys do get it, and Hiei still doesn't breathe or there is no pulse, then that means that he gets cremated.' Timber sighed, and then looked to Kurama.

'Kurama, wouldn't you lose a lot of your money this way?' Timber asked. He sighed.

'Well, I really believe that he's alive; I just feel it,' he told her. She shrugged.

'I believe I know a little bit of its location,' Koenma muttered. Everybody looked over to Koenma.

'Well, what is it?' everybody asked. Koenma sighed, and recited a verse of some sort.

'To find the great revival plant, one must look in an area that man does not even know about. This is a place that is pure and sacred; there is no such thing as man-made devices such as dams. It will reveal itself once the bluebird comes out,' Koenma recited, nearly in a trance. Everyone thought hard, but they couldn't think of such an area.

'Wait a minute; not touched by man? That sounds like a place I've heard of, but what was it?' Kurama thought.

'Crap, I bet Hiei would have known such a place,' Timber sighed.

'Or maybe even… Phire!' Yusuke cried. 'Oh crap! Where the hell did she go, anyways?' Everyone shrugged.

'I think we can call out to her if we form a circle and become one,' Kurama muttered, thinking of how they can get Phire to come. When they tried it, they couldn't get her.

'It's hopeless,' Yusuke sighed. Kurama went onto the computer and looked up different types of oasis.

'What if it is like an oasis?' Keiko asked. Botan thought.

'There are some man-made things there. In this area with the plant, there are NO man-made things,' Botan told her. Kurama sighed, and then banged the keyboard of the computer.

'That's it,' he said, not able to take any more of this tension. He stormed into Hiei's room, and then grabbed his wrist, trying to feel his pulse.

'C'mon, I have to concentrate; maybe it is just a really weak pulse,' Kurama thought as he closed his eyes and used his demonic aura to help him. He still couldn't feel anything. Everybody surrounded him, and then they contributed 1/5 of their aura except for Keiko and Shizuru to Kurama, who still couldn't feel it. Even after getting a huge aura, Kurama couldn't even feel a little bit. Kurama punched one of the walls down in the room.

'DAMN IT! I CAN'T FEEL A FRIGGIN PULSE!' he growled. Everybody ran over to him except for Timber. She tried to feel the pulse, but even she didn't feel anything. She frowned and just looked at Hiei.

'Natura,' Timber muttered, nearly in a trance. Kurama heard her and gasped.

'You know Natura! I do too!' Kurama exclaimed. He had a light bulb on top of his head.

'That's it! Natura! That has absolutely no man-made things!' Kurama exclaimed. Timber smiled.

'C'mon, let's go there!' Yusuke raised his arm into the air. So then they journeyed to Natura, or at least Kurama tried to remember.
