Chapter 9- The end of Maze Castle

"Aww man! And here I thought that we only had one more to go!" Kuwabara said as we all stood there by the doorway watching the zombies come closer.

"Do we have to kill all of these guys?" Yusuke asked scanning over them, "There has to be at least 200 on just this floor!"

"Well, I suppose we could just run through them, to save time," I said, pondering the thought.

"These guys don't want to eat us also, right?" Kuwabara asked, looking around at us.

"Yeah, they want to suck your blood, Kuwabara," Yusuke said using a vampire voice, then broke out laughing. Kuwabara glared at him before looking towards Kurama.

"What do we do, Kurama?" He asked.

"It depends, I suppose we could avoid fighting and save time, or we could fight them," Kurama replied.

"Thanks for listing our choices again. I say we go with Robin's idea," Yusuke said. Suddenly Kuwabara's head snapped up.

"I just felt something rush through me. It felt like a six sense or somethin'. I think something bad is happening on Earth," He said to answer our questioning looks.

"Well that settles it, if `I sense dead people' boy is feeling things then we need to get through quickly," Yusuke said. Just as we were about to charge at the enemy we heard a buzz go off from Yusuke. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a small compact.

"Aww, do you want to check your makeup?" I said, laughing. He glared at me through silted eyes then snapped it open. I looked around his shoulder and saw Botan's face staring at me and Kayko was behind her.

"Hi Botan!" I said, waving at the compact and smiling.

"Why hello there Robin! What are you doing here?" I heard her bubbly voice ask.

"Long story," I replied, "Well, what do you know, Yusuke isn't carrying this around to check his makeup," I said, once more breaking into fits of laughter. I heard her laugh on the other line but then she instantly stopped.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot the reason I called you, Yusuke. The demons seem to be following an order from the Makai whistle. They're only targeting one person now………" Botan said trailing off.

"Oh yeah, who's the lucky fellow?" Yusuke asked sarcastically. I was starting to get nervous though, since the green zombies were coming closer as we just stood there talking. I looked over at Hiei and Kurama, who were also nervously glancing at the enclosing enemies. I caught there gaze and we made a silent agreement between each other that we might have to start fighting them to give Yusuke more time to get information from Botan if needed. I looked back at the compact as Botan gulped nervously then answered his question.

"………It's Kayko," She said glancing back at the girl behind her, who was looking curiously at what Botan was doing.

"WHAT!?!?! KAYKO!?" Yusuke yelled, gripping the compact slightly tighter.

"Why would they go after Kayko?!" Kuwabara asked just as surprised as Yusuke.

"They must have done some research on you, Yusuke and saw your friendship with Kayko and decided to take advantage of it," Kurama said finally saying something.

"Yeah well, wish her luck from us, cause………we gotta go!" I said, pointing at the zombies just eight feet away from us.

"Aw crap! How did they get so close?" Kuwabara said, cursing under his breath.

"Look Botan, we gotta go, we have to take care of something! You better take good care of her though! I'm gonna get that whistle, so just hold on!" Yusuke yelled into the compact then snapped it shut and shoved it into his pocket.

"Okay that's it! Let's get through these freaks so we can get to that whistle!" Yusuke hollered, charging up his power. Everyone nodded and then ran forward. I dodged all the attacks thrown at me by the zombies, like everyone else. Finally we all reached the doorway that led up the stairs (some faster than others………). We had to be quick though, incase the zombies catch up. Hiei swung open the door to reveal even more zombies making their way down the stairs.

"They don't stop!" Yusuke yelled as we backed up.

"One choice left now," Hiei said. I nodded in agreement.

"We gotta fight," I said before readying my fists.

"Not a problem! I'm pissed off and ready to fight!" Yusuke yelled, smirking.

"All right then, let's go!" Kurama said, and we all jumped out at the zombies and started knocking them out, one by one.

"This isn't working!" I yelled out while fighting about 10 at once. Everyone else was in about the same situation.

"They won't stop coming!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Why don't we pair up? It's easier to have someone helping you!" Yusuke suggested. We all agreed except Kurama, who said he would be fine, while whipping out his rose whip. Yusuke and Kuwabara were helping each other out, while Hiei and I were helping each other. After about ten minutes of continued slashing I was getting tired and almost got hurt a few times, had it not been for Hiei saving me.

"This is taking too long!" I whispered to him as we fought side by side. He nodded his head and I continued, "Maybe we should help Yusuke get through so he can get to the next beast. Who knows what could be going on at Earth," I said. By that time we were back to back, as the zombies made a circle around us, closing in.

"That would help, but how would we get him through when we can't ourselves?" He asked, slashing at the zombies that were coming close to him, with his sword.

"See that window up there? I figure we could give him a boost and he could hop through. Hopefully the zombies won't be up that high," I said pointing at a window on the tower.

"I doubt they will be, it seems as if they're all down here," He said while continuously killing the zombies coming close.

"All right then. Let's get over to them to tell our plan," I said running to a part of the circle, then starting to knock out the zombies. Hiei helped more by slicing through all of them in our path. We ran through, to Yusuke and Kuwabara and helped them get rid of quite a few zombies that were crowding them. Hiei and I explained the plan to them, which they agreed on. After I had told them, I telepathically told Kurama, since he was too far away. He also agreed and we decided to meet right below the window. Of course after we reached that spot we had to get rid of a few zombies before we could do anything. Hiei was the one to thank for that, after he sliced through zombies, all the way back 15 feet.

"Now get on Kuwabara's back! We need to stack up so he'll reach!" I yelled.

"Why do I have to be on the bottom?!" Kuwabara hollered.

"Because you're the biggest!" I yelled back. He glared at me but did as told and got on the bottom. Next was Kurama, then Hiei, then me, and on top of it all was Yusuke. We had to be at least 30 feet high, but we still were about 5 feet below it.

"You have to jump Yusuke!" I yelled trying to hold on. Hiei had a firm grasp on my ankles but I still felt scared that I would tip over, maybe it was because Kuwabara was at the bottom of it all.

"JUMP?! Are you crazy? What it I miss?" He yelled at me.

"You won't miss! If you start to fall I'll just catch you!" I yelled.

"HOW?!"

"I can fly! Remember? Oh yeah, I could have just flown you up here. We didn't have to do this whole pyramid thing………Hahaha oh well," I said laughing. Yusuke just fumed like Kuwabara, who was yelling at me from the bottom. "Well, you guys can just go back down now." Hiei let go of my ankles and jumped down, landing smoothly, then Kurama, and then Kuwabara fell face first into the dirt.

"Ok let's go!" I said, then flew Yusuke up to the window and pushed him through, "Goodbye!" I chirped, then flew back down to the others.

"Hey! What the heck was that for! You didn't have to push me through the freakin' window!!" He hollered down at me.

"Would you just get out of here!" I yelled back at him. He glared but then finally left his spot at the window and I could hear him running up the stairs.

"So now it's our job to get rid of all these dead freaks?" Kuwabara asked, looking around.

"Yep," I replied, before starting to knock some more out. We continued like this for about another 20 minutes before they were all dead or at least knocked out.

"We better catch up to Yusuke," Kurama said stashing away his rose whip.

"Yeah, I heard a crash from the lookout where he was, while we were fighting," I said.

"Let's go then," Hiei said as we swiftly moved past the bodies and to the door. After we had opened it earlier we had closed it to keep them from coming out so now there was a huge bundle of vegetable heads walking out as we swung it open.

"Ahh!!! There's more!?" Kuwabara yelled, as we took a step back.

"No! I'm not fighting anymore!" I yelled getting frustrated, then took a stance for one of my biggest attacks I'd gained.

"What are you doing?" Kurama asked, as they all looked at me weird.

"I'm using my most powerful attack so we can get rid of them and hurry on. You better stand back," I said, saying the last part as a warning. They all took a few steps back as I powered up. Finally I was at full power and was ready to throw the blast.

"Ka- Meh- Ha- Mehhh- HAAAA!" I yelled letting go of the blast. I watched it, along with the others, as it flew and hit all the zombies in front of the door and all the way up the staircase. "There, my work is done," I said putting my hands on my hips, feeling triumphant.

"Why didn't you do that in the first place?!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Didn't think of it," I plainly replied.

"You keep forgetting you can do all this stuff and it's starting to get me pissed," He said, glaring. I shrugged, and was about to reply to that before Kurama interrupted me.

"Shall we be going now?" He asked. We looked his way and nodded, then ran up the stairs. There were no bodies to slow us down since the blast left nothing at all.

"Where's Urameshi?" Kuwabara yelled as we kept running. It seemed like we'd been running forever.

"More than likely he's at the top of the tower," Kurama replied. Just as he said that we all stopped at a staircase that led to the top. The staircase seemed to go on for miles.

"You mean we gotta climb that?!" Kuwabara asked as we all gazed up at it.

"Yep, and we better hurry," I said, before running up the stairs. They soon followed me as we all ran up the spiral of steps. We were about one third of the way when there was a huge crash above us.

"I guess the fight has started," I said.

"Yeah, they're really crashing around up there. Must be a rough fight! I bet Urameshi's getting a good fight up there!" Kuwabara said as we ran. I skidded to a stop, as Hiei stopped right in front of me.

"What is it Hiei?" I asked wondering why he stopped running. He simply pointed down and I noticed a large portion of the spiral staircases in front of us were gone.

"They must have fallen off in the explosion………" Kurama muttered, more to himself than us.

"What are we supposed to do then?!" Kuwabara yelled.

"We jump," Hiei simply said.

"Easy for you to say! I for one do not have demon like powers that can make me jump that freakin' far!" Kuwabara said, pointing at the gap of staircases.

"Ok then, we throw you and jump," I said, offering another way of transportation.

"No way am I letting you guys throw me up there! Why don't you just fly me up there," Kuwabara begged.

"No I'm tired of flying……… I know! Hmm……… I haven't done it in years though so it might be rusty………I better practice," I muttered to myself.

"Tried what?" Kurama asked.

"One of the techniques I know that can get us up there. I need to practice it a bit before I take you all with me. I need to feel assured that I won't drop you in another dimension," I said.

"What kind of technique is this?" Hiei asked, looking slightly suspicious.

"You'll see," I said, then put my pointer and middle finger up to my forehead. "Ok, let's make sure this works………" I concentrated my energy and then………I found myself at the top of the staircases and looking down at everyone else, who were looking franticly around.

"Where did she disappear to?" Kurama asked, his eyes darting.

"Up here you guys!" I yelled, waving my hands in the air. They looked up at me with surprise.

"Hey! How did you get up there!" Kuwabara yelled.

"It's my technique, Instant Transmission," I said, appearing next to them again.

"How far can you go with this technique?" Hiei asked.

"Anywhere as long as I follow an energy signal of some sort or I know where I'm going," I replied.

"You could take us straight to Urameshi!" Kuwabara said, a light bulb going off in his head.

"Are you sure Kuwabara? You need the exercise," I said laughing.

"Shut up! I do not! Just take us up there okay!"

"Okay, okay. Everyone put your hand on my shoulder and be sure not to let go," I said, once again, concentrating my energy on Yusuke. They did as I told them and I finally found where he was, several hundreds of feet above us. I said `hold on' one more time then transmitted over to him. As I opened my eyes I saw Yusuke battling it out with some yellow/red haired guy in front of us. Suddenly my vision went black and my legs gave out underneath me. I started to fall back and it felt as if I were falling into darkness. Something stopped my fall though and my eyes cleared up again to see Hiei staring down at me. I looked grateful up at him as I started talking.

"Sorry, I guess that took a lot out of me and I haven't used that technique in a long time," I said, trying to stand back up again but I couldn't and almost fell back down. He caught me again, then sighed and picked me up bride style. "Huh……… Hiei-"

"You're too weak. It's all right, I'll carry you like this……… for a while," He said, looking the whole time at the battle going on. I blinked at his sudden change of attitude, then also went back to watching the fight. It appeared Yusuke was fighting 7 people that looked the same.

"He's outnumbered! We gotta help him!" Kuwabara said, stepping forward. Kurama nodded in agreement, thinking the same thing. Just as they were about to run in and help him, Yusuke threw his final attack, the shotgun. Kurama and Kuwabara stopped in their tracks to avoid the blast and watched it hit all 7 copies, and also the ceiling behind them. Slowly the ceiling cracked and debris went flying everywhere as large portions split and crashed down to the ground. I felt Hiei running through it all to avoid the falling ceiling. Finally all the crashing stopped and I opened my eyes, which I had closed to shelter them from the flying debris, and looked around. In front of me was Yusuke lying on the ground with Kuwabara kneeled next to him and Kurama standing behind him.

"Come on Urameshi! Wake up! Urameshi!!!" Kuwabara yelled, shaking Yusuke.

"Stop Kuwabara! That is not helping!" Kurama scolded him.

"Wait, what's wrong with him?" I asked, fearful of what they might say.

"That blast……… and all the hits he took was too much, he's slowly dying," Kurama said, solemnly.

"Oh my god! Yusuke!" I gasped, amazed it might happen again.

"That's it! I'm not gonna lose you, Urameshi!" Kuwabara said putting his hands on Yusuke's chest, "We went into this together and we're gonna leave together! Alive!!"

"Kuwabara! You are far too weak! The fight with Byakko drained you! You can not offer up your energy," Kurama said trying to talk some sense into Kuwabara.

"I don't care! He can't die again! I don't want to have to go through all that again! And I'm sure everyone else doesn't want to either!!" Kuwabara yelled, then he lit up as he transferred some of his energy to Yusuke. After a few minutes he stopped then collapsed onto Yusuke. Kurama ran to both of them and checked the pulses and breathing.

"Well, the good news is that they are both going to survive. The bad news they're going to be unconscious for a while," Kurama said, looking up at us, smiling.

"You mean we have to carry these bumbling idiots out of here?" Hiei asked, sighing.

"Oh well, at least it's over," I said. "Now……… how are we going to get them out of here?" I asked.

"I'll carry Yusuke," Kurama offered lifting Yusuke over his shoulder and putting him on his back.

"You aren't proposing I have to carry the idiot are you?" Hiei snarled, glaring at Kuwabara's limp body.

"I have a better idea, I can levitate them off the ground so none of us will have to carry anyone," I said, already lifting up Kuwabara.

"No, you're still far too weak," Hiei said.

"Oh no, really I'm fine. I can manage until we get back. That just means you'll have to carry me for a while so I don't collapse. You don't mind, do you?" I asked him, with hopeful eyes. He just looked the other way and I took that as a yes. Then I lifted Yusuke off Kurama's back and we took off for the rip in the barrier we could pass through. I smiled as I thought about how much fun this group is going to be.
