"Botan!" It took Yusuke and the others a moment to register what was happening, but when they did, they rushed over.
"Botan?" Yusuke asked, kneeling beside Kurama.
"She's out." Hiei said grimly.
"Botan-chan!"
"She's not going to wake up you fool." Hiei snapped

"Master..." Akemi's voice called into the darkness.
"What is it?"
"Urameshi and his friends have cleared the second barrier."
The voice chuckled. "As I expected."
"They are heading this way."
"Excellent. I've grown tired of waiting." his eyes glowered evilly in the dark.
"The Grim Reaper has shown. The guard's attack knocked her out."
"The Yokou's woman?" he laughed. "Excellent. Bring her in. Put her in with Urameshi's girl, but bring that one to me. Time to have another chat with our young friend."
"Yes Master." Akemi bowed and left the room.

"Botan-chan!!" Kurama whispered.
"Is she gonna be ok?" Yusuke asked worriedly.
"Maybe. Maybe not." a voice answered. They looked up sharply. It was Akemi.
"Hey!!" Yusuke exclaimed. "I know you!! Your one of the one's who kidnapped Keiko!"
The brilliant demoness smiled. "Ohoho!! Good job. And now, I'll take you're other little friend too." She snapped her fingers and Botan's unconscious from was encased in the same red energy ball used to capture Keiko. In a brilliant flash, she vanished.
"What did you do with her?" Kurama growled.
"And Keiko. What did you do with them? Where are they?"
"They're safe."
"Are you the last guard?" Kuwabara asked expectantly, though he was a little uneasy. Kuwabara didn't fight girls.
"Oh no. "I'm your guide into the castle. That is where you'll meet your next-and last-opponent. My Master was so anxious to fight you Urameshi Yusuke, that he killed his last guard off himself."
"Ha, it looks like the idiot doesn't get to fight."
"Quiet Hiei." Kuwabara threatened.
Yusuke grew hard. "Lead the way then lady. I don't have all day."
"No." she agreed. "You don't."

Akemi lead them into the castle, and they passed what would have been Kuwabara's opponent. He had been decapitated, but his eyes were still open, wide with shock and fear.
Kuwabara shuddered.
In the main hall, Akemi stopped.
"Hey, why did you stop lady? I told you I don't have all day!!"
Akemi was silent.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Yusuke snapped
/Urameshi Yusuke....../
"Huh?"
/So, we meet again. Well we've haven't met face to face, but we will, oh don't you worry./
"Come out and face me!!" Yusuke yelled.
/Now, why would I do that? No, that's not what I'm here for, oh no. I have a proposition for you. Well, actually, it's more of a challenge./
"What is it?"
"Its simple, really. You have four hours. All you have to do is find me within the time limit. For every hour that goes by and you don't show, something awful will happen to your little girlfriend./
"If you touch so much as a hair on her head..." Yusuke growled menacingly.
The voice chuckled manically.
"I'm warning you!! Don't you dare hurt her!!"
/Heh, heh, heh...Time starts...now./
