Yusuke removed his shirt, revealing his toned body. He cracked his knuckels and his neck muscles and Sun barely blinked.
"Shot gun!" shouted Yusuke running up to his adversary.
Sun stepped a quarter of an inch to his left and dodged Yusuke's attack entirely. Yusuke came back up with an uppercut and Sun dodged that too.
"spirit gun!" shouted Yusuke pointing his index finger at Sun.
This time Sun pulled out his sword and swiped at the blast, he then swiped the air around Yusuke in one quick motion.
"wow, your aim is worse than mine" said Yusuke.
"well that's quite impossoble" said Sun.
Yusuke fired another Spirit gun, but this one was alot smaller than his first. When Sun dodged it, Yusuke tried to hit him with an overhand but as he moved his fists he felt oddly heavy.
"oh no! I've seen this before...He's using his sword to absorb your spirit energy" said Kurama.
"what!" exclaimed Yusuke.
"well, you've caught me... but it dosn't only absorb spirit energy, it also absorb your physical and life energy...I'll bet your feeling tired now huh?" asked Sun
Yusuke panted heavily.
"well why don't you lie down, while I fight one of your friends?" asked Sun.
"oh no you don't, I call next" said a voice.
Yusuke turned to see a man with dark hair, gleaming in the brightness of the cave. His gold eyes seemed to glow themselves.
"oh come on Qai!" exclaimed Sun.
"fair is fair" said Qai.
"hn, I'll fight you" said Hiei.
"I don't think so, nobody tells me what to do...I'll fight you because I want to...not because you said so" said Qai as-a-matter-of-factly.
"hn" said Hiei unsheating his sword.
Qai smiled as Hiei lunged toward him with his sword. Qai followed Hiei's movements blow by blow, until Hiei's speed decreased by a considerable amount.
"your pretty fast, but not fast enough" said Qai pulling Hiei's sword from his hand.
"go ahead and keep it" said Hiei smugly.
"oh I will" said Qai. He trasnsfered some of his energy into the sword, bending it into a 90 degree angle. He then flung the sword at Hiei.
Hiei easily dodged it.
"what the hell was that?" he asked just in time to sense the sword coming back to him from behind. Hiei dodged it again, but the sword proceeded to follow him until it cut him in the leg... causing him to bleed perfusely.
"well that was easy" said Qai.
"indeed" said Sun.
"well, I guess Ryuu can fight the red headed one" said Qai.
"I guess so" said Sun obviously agitated.
"why is that man always late?" asked Qai.
"I don't know!" said Sun angrily.
"hey, don't get rude with me mister" said Qai.
"I'm here, I'm here" said a blonde man, his blue eyes seemed to frown at them even though his mouth showed indifference.
Rei and Kurama recognized him as the man from the resturant. He seemed less exited that the other two about fighting.
"well lets get this overwith" said Ryuu yawning.
Kurama pulled out his rose whip, but unlike his commrades he did not attack first.
"ladies first" said Ryuu.
"that's why I'm letting you go" said Kurama.
"oh, Jokes...I like that," said Ryuu smiling for the first time.
Ryuu leaped into the air, while pulling out his sword mid-jump. He swiped at Kurama who slid under the attack and used his rose whip to slash at Ryuu vertically. Ryuu was taken aback as he noticed blood dripping down his front.
"I've noticed most of your comrades relied on my friends to attack first, I assumed that is where your strenghts stood...I seem to be correct in my asumsuntion" said Kurama.
"I underestimated you, but please excuse me I've never faught a girl before" said Ryuu.
"now now, Ryuu lets not get rude" said a voice.
Kurama glanced behind him to see a rather skinny man with grey eyes and and brown hair. He had a very good-natured face and was smiling hard.
"oh come on" said Ryuu putting his sword into his sheath.
"hey, we've got to be polite to our guests..." said the man.
"yeah, yeah, yeah" said Ryuu.
"how rude of me I have yet to intoduce myself, I'm Rainan" he said.
"are you the guy the news has been covering, who killed that scafer guy" said Rei realizing that Rainan fit the description of the man from the news.
"well yes, but in my defense I was provoked" said Rainan
"and you think that justifies killing a human?" asked Yusuke.
"hey, if we are talking about justice, why did you come here ready to fight when all we asked of you was to bring Rei" said Rainan.
"your the one who said you'd kill a hostage for every minute we were late" said Yusuke angrily.
"hey, I don't appreciate tardiness...I figured that way you'd be on time" said Rainan smiling.
"and where do you get off calling my friend an orange-haired fool?" asked Yusuke.
"hey, his hair is orange and he is a fool...right?" asked Rainan
"well..." started Yusuke.
"would you have known who I was talking about if I had said the green-haired genius?" asked Rainan
"hey...but..I" started Yusuke.
"but nothing, the matter is closed...and you and your friends will follow me now" said Rainan turning to walk in the direction he came from.
Yusuke looked at Hiei and then at Kurama.
"well come on then" said Sun following Rainan.
