Yusuke stared in horror as he saw what was in the room.

Komada, Shizuru, Okubo, Kuwabara, and Kirishima were chained in that order to a chair inside a large metal cage. At the front of the cage was a large metal device attached to a large cord that was connected to a mounted gun which was pointed behind the victims on a pallet conveyor system.

"Urameshi?" called out Kuwabara in surprised.

"what the hell are you guys doing here?" asked Yusuke in amazement.

"like we know!" he said more angry than scared.

Shizuru flinched a bit as she saw Yusuke and Keiko.

Suddenly the TV flashed and Billy appeared turning his face towards Yusuke.

"Hello, Yusuke. Here is your fist trial, before you are five people. Only two of them actually have a big part to play in your life." he said coldly.

"what is that." cried out Kirishima.

All the boys stared in amazement while Shizuru and Kuwabara felt a deep dark feeling in their gut.

"finding the right couple is your own business, but if you kill your best friend it will cost you. It is you who will have to live with it."

Yusuke gave a confused expression once he herd the last part, from what he recalls only Keiko was his friend.

"here we have five targets, but only two can get away. The decision of which two will survive falls upon you. But remember, the mounted gun will continue to fire until it has reached the end of the pallet conveyor system. Be aware, if no decision is made on your part, all five will perish."

All eyes widened in horror and Keiko covered her face in fear. The victims began to panic, except for Shizuru whom still seemed interested in the talking dummy.

"To offer the two reprieves, you must press both buttons at once in the box before you, however in doing so, you will give a sacrifice of your own. Two can live, three will die. Your decisions will be symbolized by the blood on your hands."

And with that the screen went blank and the pallet conveyor began to move the gun slowly to the right, towards Komada.

"ah man, I don't wanna die!" he cried out.

"Komada!" screamed out Kuwabara trying to struggle free from his prison.

"Yusuke do something." cried Keiko.

"I know, I know, but who do I save?" he asked in horror as it was moving quickly.

"you have to save all of them." cried Keiko.

"no!" called out Shizuru causing everyone to stare at her "he said you can only save two people, that means only two people can get out."

"what do you know?" asked Keiko more out of a plea than as a question.

"who cares, someone call the cops!" cried Kirishima struggling.

"I got family to take care of!" cried Okubo.

"I'm too young to die." screamed out Komada as the gun stopped right behind him.

Yusuke's eyes widened as he saw the gun lifting up getting a good view of Komada's head.

"Komada!" screamed Kuwabara as it shot his dear friend in the head.

Blood flew and splattered against Keiko for she was standing in front of her. She screamed and the boys did too, calling his name and struggling for there lives. Kuwabara 's head hang low as his best friend just died. Yusuke felt immobile, he didn't know what to do. The gun then continued to move towards Shizuru.

"God I wish I had a cigaret." she said with a bored expression on her face.

"don't say that Shizuru!" cried Keiko causing Yusuke to look at her in shock.

"you know her?" he asked

Keiko paused then shook her head.

"then how do you know her name?" he asked again.

"I don't... know." she said confusedly.

"Shizuru, don't worry I'm coming!" called Kuwabara as he struggled to get free, determined to save his sister

"yeah,yeah." she said still not at all entertained.

Yusuke quickly jolted at the metal device as the gun paused behind Shizuru.

"nothing personal, even if your not anyone I know your still a girl." said Yusuke as he put his hands inside the metal box.

Shizuru just watched him then closed her eyes to wait her doom.

"don't bother, why don't you do me a favor and save my brother." she said plainly.

Yusuke gave a shaky smiled.

"cause I'm just like that."

Yusuke pressed the two buttons, one in each hand and it caused not only the gun to spare Shizuru but also for a metal rod to come down and pierce Yusuke's hands. Yusuke screamed out in pain as blood poured down his hands.

"Yusuke!" cried Keiko.

The rod slowly lifted up and Yusuke fell to the floor clutching his hands in pain. Keiko rushed to his aid and Okubo began to Scream as the gun was coming closer towards him.

"help, help, please help me!" he begged as it was coming closer.

"Okubo!" cried Kuwabara.

The red head knew about Okubo's past and knew how his family needs him.

"Urameshi!" called Kuwabara as Yusuke tried to recover the feeling in his hands "please save Okubo."

Yusuke's head jolted up once he herd the red heads words.

"he has a family who needs him, he can't afford to die." he continued

Okubo even stared at Kuwabara, tears went down his face as he herd his best friends words.

"Kuwabara..." he said with a sad smile.

Suddenly the gun stopped. All three boys gasped. Yusuke instinctively got up and moved towards the machine. He painfully put his hands in the box and was about to press the button when there was a gun shot. Blood flew and splattered all over Yusuke face for he was standing across from Okubo.

"No!" screamed Kuwabara.

Tears streamed down the red heads face as he painfully screamed out. The gun lowered and mercilessly continued for his next target... Kuwabara...

"this is impossible." cried Kirishima

Yusuke was petrified, what if he did have a friend, what if he died, what if he didn't, what if this whole thing was a lie, what if this was just a sick nightmare. The raven haired boy slowly began to fall on his knees and give up hope till he herd Kuwabara's voice.

"Urameshi..." he said causing tearful chocolate eyes to gaze up at him painfully "forget about me."

Yusuke eyes widened in shock. Kuwabara cared so much for his friends that he would rather give up his life to save them.

"A mulberry is a tree, Kuwabara's a man. And I'll prove it. we all have to die when our time comes, but if we do our duty we don't have regrets." he said with his eyes glowing in determination.

The gun stopped and Yusuke knew immediately that he was the one. Yusuke felt as if time had completely stopped, he swiftly put his hands in the box and just as the gun was about to fire he pressed the button. Kuwabara was shocked.

"Ura-Urameshi I said don't save me!" he screamed.

Blood dripped down the metal box and Yusuke kept his head bowed in shame and in pain.

"oh my gosh. I don't want to die!" screamed Kirishima "call the cops!" tears fell down his face as he screamed. "somebody do something!"

the gun then stopped behind the terrified boy and slowly lifted up in position.

"Kirishima!" screamed Kuwabara.

"Somebody help!" screamed the helpless boy as the gun fired.

The poor boys head exploded from the impact of the bullet sending pieces everywhere. Keiko screamed . Kuwabara cried. The chains released the victims and Yusuke stood there completely motionless.

"No!" cried out Kuwabara.

Kuwabara literally grabbed his lifeless friends and began to morn. Yusuke shuttered still holding onto the metal box. He didn't care if his hands hurt or if it was even broken, what he did care about was that not only was he responsible for the deaths of Kuwabara's friends but he was responsible for his pain.

Far away in the Makai, stood a beautiful young lady with silver hair.

"Is something bothering you?" asked a familiar voice.

The kitsune barely turned to look at the bat demon.

"of course not." she said closing her eyes.

The bat demon smiled.

"well if it bothers you so much, why don't we go to the human world?" he asked making the kitsune look at him oddly.

He smiled and she turned back in front making her way through the forest.

"hey where are you going?" he asked with a frown.

"Kirin...pack up we're going to the world of the living." she directed making him smirk widely.

The room smelled dead, it took a while to convince Kuwabara into leaving his dead friends corpses behind. Yet they found themselves lost in the hallways.

"g-r-e-a-t." Shizuru said in annoyance as she looked around "well there doesn't seem to be any bloody arrows."

"well they were here." said Yusuke feeling depressed.

He then reached into his pockets to find something.

"ah crap." he whispered.

"whats wrong?" asked Keiko

Yusuke looked at her then turned his face away.

"its not your business." he said in a cocky way.

Keiko looked angrily then turned her face away as if she didn't care.

"so..." Yusuke asked looking at Shizuru.

"I don't date younger guys." she said while she lit her cigaret.

"I was actually going to ask, how did you know that I could only save two people?" he asked in a concerned manner.

"well, besides the talking dummy telling us. I have herd rumors about a Serial killer in the United States that dealt with a dummy that gave messages."

"really?" asked Yusuke

She nodded.

"they say that the man named Jigsaw died and so did his successors." she explained.

"then how can this be the same person?" Yusuke asked a little nervous.

"it can't. Unless his successors didn't die."

"so this guy is Jigsaw?" he asked now ready for the next trial "I hope he came prepared cause I'm a gonna pound him six feet under."

the group continued walking until they got to a room with five different directions.

"okay." said Yusuke as he looked around "i guess we should take the left route."

"wait guys." said Kuwabara stopping the group"I have a bad feeling about this."

Yusuke looked at him feeling guilty.

"yeah I know, but it is the only way for us to survive." he reasoned.

Kuwabara looked at him for a while then nodded.

"then if that's the case then we should take the second path to the right." he said pointing.

Yusuke nodded and they walked through. The bloody arrows began to appear again and the room became hot. There was a door at the end of the hallway with words scratched into it. "what is the best way to cook a fox?" it said.

Yusuke looked at it for a while before he turned to the others.

"hey I cook, but I never served fox before." he said trying to lighten the mood.

"i don't think it's talking about a fox." said Kuwabara.

"well, hopefully its not talking about a girl." Yusuke said again imagining a dirty thought.

Keiko smacked him.

"ouch!" he wined

"hurry up and just open the door." she demanded.

"alright already." he said angrily while he opened the door.

It felt extremely hot as they entered the broiler room. They were on the top of a theater-like catwalk. A tape recorder hanged in front of the raven haired boy. Yusuke heavily took in a deep breath and grabbed the tape recorder. Examining the room he came to lay eyes on something moving from beneath him.

"hey, Hey!" Yusuke screamed trying to get the red heads attention.

Terrified green eyes looked up as he herd the call. The red head was covered in blood and was pressing himself against the wall.

"Shuuichi?" whispered Kuwabara.

"you know him?" asked Yusuke looking at the carrot top.

"yes I do, he's the guy who always beats me in test's." said Kuwabara.

Yusuke felt a little stupid as for a moment he thought he was a girl. Shaking the thought out of his mind he turned his attention back down at the red head.

"don't move!" demanded Yusuke.

"do I honestly have a choice?" asked the red head pointing out that the entrance to the caged maze was blocked by steam.

Looking at the steam, Yusuke realized that it came from a pipe, but that the pipe had a level that had the word R-E-L-I-F-E written on it. The raven haired boy was about to pull it when he was stopped by Shizuru.

"don't be a fool, listen to the tape and follow the directions before we all get killed." she demanded.

Yusuke almost dropped the tape as she startled him.

"okay, I get it." he said and then pressed the button.
