Last time:
dearest dectective and friends:
Please bring Rei over to me. I would be most thankful and I'm sure these lovely ladies would be too. I'll be in the cave off north to the edge of the forest near the waterfall. Don't try and be smart by bringing anyone else into this. I will only be alowing the entry of four more people. Oh and have her hear by midnight because for every minute your late I kill a hostage.
P.S. the orange-haired fool is first on the list.
The gang decided they had better move fast. Yusuke made sure to bring the communicator so when Koenma came back he would be able to contact them. Rei decided to bring her cell phone and ran to her room to get it. She released it from the charger on the nightstand and turned around to see Kurama in the doorway.
"lets go" he said.
They treked through the forest and reached the waterfall. It flowed into a periwinkle colored river, and across it was the cave. The river was rather wide and it would take a while to wade through it. Yusuke went first. He pulled up his shirt and wore the end behind his head. Hiei followed suit and Kurama held out his hand for Rei. When the reached the mouth of the cave they hesitated a moment before slowly stepping in.
Theystepped into the cave and noticed there were two paths in front of them. Hiei and Yusuke decidedthey would go for the left while Kurama and Rei were left with the right. As each group walked on, the cave didn't get any darker like they expected it to. Strangely enough it seemed to glow without the help of any outside light.
Kurama and Rei had been walking for fifteen minutes when Kurama put his hand in front of Rei preventing her from walking further. He stood there with his hand on her stomach and looked around his surroundingscautiously. Hethen proceeded to sniff the air.
"what is it?" asked Rei
"SHHHHH"said Kurama
"come on..." she whispered
"don't you hear that?" he whispered back.
Reistrained her ears, so she could try and hear what Kurama heard. She didn't hear anything for about to secounds until she heard it... rather soflty at first. It was a moan. Somebody was moaning... and it sounded like a girl...it sounded like Botan! Rei searched the wall for some sort of hole or level like in the movies but found nothing.
"there" said Kurama pointing to an opening in the ground.
The hole was smallbut Rei and Kurama managed to wiggle through it. They fell down intoa dark and damp dungeon. The only thing that lit it was a single torch that was hanging on the wall. They could barely make out Botan's soft face in the darkness. She appeared to be chained to the wall, as they approached they saw her more clearly until they were close enough to pull the gag out of her mouth.
"Thank goodness your here" said Botan
"where is everybody else?' asked Rei
"I don't know, this pink-haired guy put me here because he said I talked too much, but I think everyone else is together" said Botan
"I hope" said Kurama pulling Botan's chains from the wall.
They crawled back up the whole to the glowing cave and continued walking. After another forty to fifty minutes they apprached a clearing where they found Hiei and Yusuke already waiting for them.
"you found Botan? Where are Kieko and Yukina, and Kuwabara?" asked Yusuke
"we only found Botan...how long have you guys been waiting here?" asked Rei
"only a few minutes" said Yusuke
"so where do we go from here?" asked Botan
"hn. It should seem nowhere" said Hiei
"well, there has to be some sort of destination to be reached" said Kurama
"maybe we are supposed to wait" said Yusuke.
And so they did. Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Rei and Botan waited there for what seemed like forever when a male form appeared in front of the left opening. It was the pink-haired man from the alley.
"hello, nice to see you made it safely" said The pink-haired man
"enough with the small-talk where are our friends?" asked Yusuke
"slow down, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Sun" He said
"hn" said Hiei
"well, I knew you weren't about to give Rei up, so I've arranged a fight between you and some of my dearest freinds for her" Said Sun.
Yusuke smiled as he cracked his knuckles.
"oh don't get too exited, your going to lose... and you'll probably die" said Sun.
"we'll see" said Yusuke
"well your a fiesty one...we'll fight first" said Sun.
