Bellamoura – Here ya go, dolls! Chapter Eight! Cantina! Cantina! Cantina!

Youko – Who gave her the sugar?

Chiyoko – Um . . . I'll leave now -.-;;


The group met the next morning in one of the Temple gardens, dressed in casual clothes. Obi-Wan Kenobi was dressed in a pair of black pants and a black muscle shirt, courtesy of Yuusuke, Yuusuke was dressed in a pair of jeans and a dark green tee shirt, Kurama was dressed in baggy black pants and a crimson shirt, Hiei was dressed in his black ensemble, and Chiyoko was dressed in a denim mini-skirt with a black tank top, knee-high Jack Skellington socks and black Vans. Obi-Wan looked at Chiyoko.

"You look nice." Obi-Wan said, blushing slightly.

"Oh, thanks." Chiyoko said, smiling at him. She looked to the group. "Ready to go?"

"Hai!" The group responded. The Spirit Detectives looked to Obi-Wan, and he pointed at Yuusuke.

"His fault!"


The group arrived at a cantina about fifteen minutes later. This cantina looked similar to the one they had first been into, except this one had a large dance floor. Chiyoko smiled. "Yes! Dancing!" She said, rushing onto the floor. The group followed her to the dance floor.

"What a shame, no one's dancing. We need to change that . . . and this music." Yuusuke said. The group nodded.

"I've got it." Kurama said, walking up to the vacant DJ booth. He casually leaned against it, pressed some buttons, and instantly music streamed from a rave on Nar Shaddaa boomed into the room. He appeared next to the group.

Chiyoko smiled happily and dragged the boys onto the dance floor, receiving looks from people all around. Yuusuke, Kuwabara, and Chiyoko started dancing, followed by Obi-Wan and Kurama, and then others. Hiei jumped up to an upper, slightly vacant level of the cantina. The group continued dancing for some time. Then, a slow song came on, and several people left the dance floor.

"Um . . . Yoko-chan, would you give me the honor of this dance?" Kurama asked, walking next to Chiyoko.

Chiyoko giggled. "Sure, Kurama!" She said, following Kurama out on the dance floor. They danced for several minutes before Obi-Wan walked up to them.

"Kurama, Chiyoko, would you mind if I danced with Chiyoko for a bit?" Obi-Wan asked. Kurama's eyes flashed golden for a split second before nodding cheerfully. Kurama walked up to join Hiei as Chiyoko and Obi-Wan danced.


:With Kurama and Hiei:

Kurama sat down next to Hiei, ordering a drink, looking down on the dance floor at Chiyoko and Obi-Wan. Hiei followed Kurama's gaze and smirked.

"You're falling for her, aren't you fox?" Hiei said, his voice it's usual tone.

"No! She's just an ally, that's all . . ." He said, looking back down at the dance floor.

"You sure don't act like it." Hiei said. Kurama blushed, but said nothing.


:On the Dance Floor:

The slow song had ended, and Obi-Wan bowed to Chiyoko. She giggled, and curtseyed. The rave songs started up again, and the floor was soon crowded with dancers. Yuusuke and Kuwabara were currently dancing with Chiyoko, having a blast.

Hiei and Kurama came down.

"Fox?" Hiei asked, as they neared the group.

"Hai, Hiei?"

"Can you teach me how to dance?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"Well, all you really do is –" Kurama began, but was cut off by Chiyoko.

"Come on, Hiei-san. Have some fun!" Chiyoko said, grabbing Hiei and starting to dance with him. Hiei caught on fast, and soon was dancing with the rest of the group.


By the time the group returned to the temple, it was late at night. The group yawned. "That was fun." Yuusuke said, and the group nodded. When they walked inside, they instantly sensed something was wrong. It was too quiet, not even the hum of a droid could be heard.

"This feels like a trap." Kuwabara said. The instant he said that, low level demons appeared in the hallways.

"Kuwabara! You need to learn to keep your damn mouth shut!" Yuusuke said, fighting the demons. In all the excitement of the morning, they had forgotten their lightsabers. After they had beat the demons, they rushed to their room and grabbed their lightsabers and other weapons.


(A/N - I would end it here, but I'm not that mean. Oh, ':blah blah:' means the mind link between Jedi Master and Apprentice.)

:Master Gallia? Master Gallia!.: Chiyoko tried through her link, and got a response.

:Chiyoko! Where are you? Are the others with you?.:

:We are in our room, and Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Obi-Wan are with me.:

:We are trapped in the catacombs. The young ones have all been evacuated, and it is just the Jedi Masters and the Jedi Council.: Master Gallia replied, her voice sounding stressed.

:We're coming!.: Chiyoko responded before her master could object. "They're trapped in the catacombs. Let's go!" She said, and they rushed out of the room.


The group reached the catacombs. Despite what they had thought, these catacombs where huge, and there were several passageways.

"Allright, lets split up to find them faster." Yuusuke said, and the group nodded. "Hiei, open a mental link so we can contact each other." Hiei nodded, and tried to create a link, but couldn't.

"K'so! They must have set up wards." Chiyoko said, looking around. "Allright, let's hope you all have been practicing your Force abilities." Yuusuke and Kuwabara rubbed the back of their necks sheepishly. "Chikusho! Ok then, Yuusuke, you go with Obi-Wan, Kuwabara, you go with Kurama, and I'll go with Hiei."

"I can do this myself, baka." Hiei said.

"That's not the point." Chiyoko said, glaring at him. "If you see a ward, destroy it." The group nodded, and went down different passage ways.


:With Yuusuke and Obi-Wan:

The two of them rushed down the tunnels, destroying wards as they went. Yuusuke tried to use his spirit powers to locate the masters, but failed. "Grr . . . damn! There's still a lot of wards!" Yuusuke said. They soon stumbled on a Jedi Apprentice corpse, with several claw and bite marks.

'Careful, guys, whoever is attacking the Masters is huge. Large claws and teeth.' Obi-Wan sent through the Force.

'Thanks.' The group replied.

'If you have allready gone down a passageway, mark it with a slight mark in the Force, so we know where we all ready have been.' Kurama said, and they nodded, rushing down the passage way again.

Suddenly, Yuusuke and Obi-Wan ran smack dab into two people.

"Master Yoda!" Obi-Wan asked.

"Master Qui-Gon!" Yuusuke exclaimed.


:With Kuwabara and Kurama:

Kuwabara and Kurama had ran into some low level demons and some wards. Kuwabara was currently catching his breath, and Kurama was keeping gaurd. Suddenly, they heard rushed footsteps. Kurama ignited his green lightsaber and Kuwabara his golden. Suddenly, in the path appeared some Jedi Masters, including Master Trebor and Master Kit Fisto.

"Master!" The two boys said, overjoyed their masters where alright.

"Kurama/Kuwabara? You're ok!" The masters said, hugging their respective padawans."What are you doing here!"

"We were trying to find you. Now, we have to help the others!" Kurama said, dashing down the path, the others following.


:With Hiei and Chiyoko:

"See, I told you," Chiyoko said, panting, "That we should have gone down the other path."

"And how was I supposed to know this path had demons in it!" Hiei retorted, leaning against the wall, a gash from one of the claws in his side.

"Help now,talk later." Chiyoko said, running down the path, Hiei following, trying not to wince. The gash in his side was pretty deep.

Chiyoko destroyed a ward and tested her spirit powers. To her shock, they worked.

'Guys, the wards are all gone.' Chiyoko said, running down the path. She reached the opening to the path, a large ledge overlooking a large gorge, filled with tombs. "Oh, this is creepy."

Suddenly, large demons flew up through the gorge. "Me and my big mouth." She said, slashing at the demons with her silver light saber, Hiei with his viridian one. Suddenly, two other lightsabers joined the fray, an azure one and a green one. When the fighting cleared, Hiei and Chiyoko got a look at the weilders of the other lightsabers.

"Master!" Chiyoko cried happilly.

"Chiyoko! You're alright!" Master Gallia responded, smiling.

"Hiei." Master Koth said, smiling.

"Mas . . ter." Hiei said, swaying slightly, Chiyoko catching him. She ripped a strip of her shirt off to use as a makeshift bandage on his side, before picking him up bridal style.

"Put me . .. down baka." Hiei said softly.

"Uh - uh. Not a chance." Chiyoko said, dashing down the passageway after the masters.

'I think we got them all,' Chiyoko said to anyone in the passageway. 'Let's get out of the catacombs.' Everyone responded in some way, and they all dashed out of the catacombs.


Everyone except Hiei, Chiyoko, Master Gallia, and Master Koth were out of the catacombs. "Grr . . . where are they." Yuusuke asked, scuffing his shoe on the floor.

"Patience, Yuusuke." Master Qui-Gon said, looking at the group, conceiling his own worry. Suddenly, the remaining members burst into the room. Master Gallia and Master Koth were catching their breath, while Chiyoko immediately rushed Hiei to the medical wing. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yuusuke followed.

"What happened to him?" Yuusuke asked.

"Help now . . .talk later." Hiei responded.


Bellamoura - Dang, this was long! Please review.
