Yusuke scowled as he walked through the thick underbrush of Makai, �I can�t believe she didn�t tell me.
Hiei rolled his eyes, �concentrate on the demon, detective, or else you may not have a sister to be mad at.�
�She still should have told me,� Yusuke mumbled before shutting up.
Kuwabara looked around, �do we even know where this Sai guy is?�
Yusuke frowned, �we�re following his energy trail, he shouldn�t be too hard to find.�
�I don�t get it,� Kuwabara began slightly confused, �why didn�t Sai just kill Sam when he had the chance?�
Yusuke grabbed him by the front of the shirt, �you saying you want my sister dead?�
�No that�s not what I�m saying I�m just asking,� Kuwabara said quickly.
�He didn�t know she had to be killed to release the jewels power, baka,� Hiei mumbled clearing the plants in front of them.
�That�s one of things I don�t get,� Kuwabara said behind Hiei, �I thought most of you demons knew about these sort of things, you know all aspects of it.�
Yusuke looked thoughtful for a sec, �he makes a good point there.�
Hiei scowled realizing he was going to have to explain, �most demons probably chose to forget that information. It is much easier to steal a small jewel from a powerful miko then it is to kill said miko.�
Yusuke couldn�t help but grin, �you saying my sister is too powerful to easily kill.�
�Hn,� was Hiei�s response.
Kuwabara frowned, �but then why did Sai get the best of her so easily?�
Hiei rolled his eyes, �she most likely did not want Yusuke to see what her powers were truly like.�
Kuwabara nodded, �makes sense.�
Yusuke ground his teeth, �when we get back I�m going to make her tell me everything about this miko thing.�
�Do what you like but for now let�s concentrate on this fortress,� Hiei broke in. The two teenage boys looked over Hiei�s shoulders and gaped at the castle in front of them. To put it simply, the place was huge, it looked almost like the castle of the four saint beasts only bigger.
�How the hell are we supposed to get into that?� Kuwabara asked panicking slightly.
�Maybe we should just try the front door,� Yusuke said pointing to an open door.
Hiei frowned, �looks a lot like a trap to me.�
Yusuke smirked, �well let�s make it easy on them and just walk in.�
�Are you crazy Urameshi? You can�t just walk into a trap!� Kuwabara bellowed.
Hiei smirked, �it seems they highly underestimate us, they obviously don�t know who they are dealing with.�
Yusuke cracked his knuckles, �maybe we should show them.�
Kuwabara looked at the castle nervously, �if Kurama were here he�d think up a plan.�
Yusuke scowled, �well he�s not here and we think it�s best to just go in so are you gonna come with us or stay behind?�
Kuwabara frowned, �fine but if you get yourself killed, I�m not the one explaining to your sister.�
�Yeah sure,� Yusuke said, dismissing the comment with a wave of his hand. The three of them walked to door and looked in.
�Looks safe enough,� Kuwabara mumbled looking inside.
�Looks can be deceiving,� Hiei said before stepping in. the other two quickly followed. They walked through the hallway waiting for something, anything to pop out at them. They reached the end of the first hallway with no occurrences.
Yusuke scowled as they reached the three doors at the end, �are they planning on handing the jewel over or something? This is way too easy!�
Hiei frowned, �they want to give us a sense of false security, don�t fall for it.�
Kuwabara looked at the doors, �I wonder which one we should pick.�
�Just look for the one with the big demon energy behind it,� Yusuke said calmly.
�And what if that�s a trap?� Kuwabara said angrily, �we basically hand ourselves to a demon we can�t take on? That�s a brilliant plan!�
Yusuke sighed, �idiot if he can�t unleash the power of the jewel then he can�t boost his power so we�re good.�
Hiei smirked, �there�s only one problem detective.�
Yusuke gave a confused look, �what?�
�We have no idea how strong Sai is to begin with,� Hiei pointed out, �he may be more powerful then any of the opponents we have ever faced.�
Yusuke frowned, �look I don�t care how strong this guy is, I�ll do anything to protect my sister.� Hiei and Yusuke exchanged glances which said everything.
Hiei nodded, �I understand.�
�All right the door we should definitely go into is this one,� Kuwabara said pointing to the door in the middle.
Yusuke smirked, �well let�s go.� He opened the door and the three of them walked in at the same time. As soon as they stepped inside they fell down through a trap hole.
�Ow that hurt,� Kuwabara mumbled as he landed on the ground.
�Nice going moron,� Yusuke mumbled standing up.
Hiei looked around, �this isn�t the basement.�
�What are you talking about?� Kuwabara said rubbing his bruised bottom, �we fell down obviously this is the basement.�
�Then how do you explain the window?� Hiei asked pointing.
Yusuke ran over to it and looked out, �whoa since when are we a couple of stories up?�
Kuwabara gaped, �what?�
�Ah I see you have discovered the secret of my castle,� a voice boomed through the room.
�That voice,� Yusuke clenched his fists, �Sai.�
Sai laughed, �yes it�s me and you are now trapped in my home.�
�What are you talking about?� Kuwabara shouted, �come out here and fight like a man don�t hide behind some stupid trick.�
Sai chuckled, �oh I see you haven�t figured it out well let me explain it to you. This castle is not normal, one door does not lead to the next room. The door you take may send you clear across the castle, or it might send you two rooms away there is no way of knowing for sure where you will end up.�
Hiei frowned, �which means you could be stuck in this castle for all eternity.�
Sai laughed, �precisely. If I were you I�d concentrate more on getting out of the castle then on finding me and getting the jewel because even if you do find me you will not get the jewel.�
�That�s what you think!� Yusuke shouted, �when I get my hands on you you�re going to wish you never heard of the Jewel of Power!�
Sai chuckled, his voice fading, �oh really?�
�You bastard,� Yusuke screamed, �come here and take me on!�
�Calm down detective,� Hiei said softly, �we will find him, don�t worry about it.�
Yusuke looked like he was going to have a spaz attack, �that guy hurt my sister and thinks he can get away with it. If he hurts one hair on her head to-�
�Yusuke!� Hiei hissed cutting him off, �Sai has not yet realized what he needs to unleash the jewel�s power, do not assist him in attaining that information.�
Yusuke blinked, �oh yeah right.�
�So should we go on to the next room?� Kuwabara asked walking to the door.
�Let�s go,� Yusuke nodded following Kuwabara. Hiei didn�t say anything but followed the two humans. Finding Sai was not going to be easy.
