Mitsukai no Awai: WOW! I'm free!!!!!! Cool! *jumps up and down*

Kurama: *sighs* We let her out of the chair...

Hiei: *taking out ear plugs* Loud baka onna...

Mitsukai runs outside and grabs the hose.

Mitsukai: I dont own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did, then Gwen would be in there, and Kuwabara would still be in there. I know, I know, but he's the one we all make fun of! Without him, there wouldn't be much 'Ha ha's...OH HIEI! KURAMA!

The two youkais come out.

Hiei and Kurama: What?

They get sprayed (FULL BLAST!) by the hose. They then run away from Mitsukai. Mitsukai chases them.

Mitsukai: *To Readers* Please R&R!! *To Hiei and Kurama* MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Evil Authoress rules ze world!

Hiei: *To Kurama* You just HAD to give her the whole bottle of Caffinated Coke...

The Gate of Betrayal

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Gwen and the guys finally arrived at the gate.

"So, shouldn't we go in?" Gwen asked as they stopped.

"They should come out here like men, and then we could beat them up," Kuwabara proclaimed.

"Oh, that's a smart plan," Hiei replied sarcastically.

Yusuke sighed. "Come on!" Everyone looked at him and followed him inside.

They walked down a corridor and stopped when they saw a flying one eyed demon.

"Welcome to Maze Castle. My masters were expecting you," it said.

"Wow! It talked!" Kuwabara exclaimed. Gwen sweatdropped and smacked her forehead.

"Before you proceed, you must pass a test."

"What kind of test?" Yusuke asked. Even as he asked that, the demon flew over to switch and pulled, and everything started to shake.

"How come I had a bad feeling when you asked that, Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked him.

Kurama looked up. "The ceiling!" he shouted. Everyone looked up when the ceiling fell. They put up their arms and the ceiling stopped, supported by their arms. Everyone struggled to hold up the very heavy ceiling.

"The test is to pass the Gate of Betrayal. Pass and you may proceed. Fail, and you will lose your lives. However, there is a catch. Enough leeway remains for one of you to get out alive. But you can't hold up that weight forever. Insist on teamwork and everyone will be crushed. Only one could proceed, though.

"I always like this part, you thinking...thinking of a way out alive. 'Who will betray us?', 'Will I be the one to betray them?', 'How long can I hold this?'" the demon snickered.

"Hn, I'm not dying because of these baka ningens..." Hiei said.

"Don't you even consider it, Hiei," Kurama said firmly. Gwen looked at Hiei with pleading eyes, thinking, 'Please don't Hiei.'

Yusuke chuckled. "I knew we should've played some trust games."

"We got to stick together, you guys," Kuwabara said. Then he moved his knee, and the ceiling fell a little bit more.

"Focus on the weight or you'll kill us all!" Hiei shouted.

"Oh! I bet I'm carrying more weight than you!" Kuwabara retorted.

Yusuke looked at the switch. 'There has to be a way to that switch.' Then he got an idea. (Wow! Yusuke got an idea!) "Hiei, we know you're the fastest. Run to the switch and pull it."

"What, Urameshi?! You're gonna trust him?" Kuwabara yelled.

"You're ugly friend has a point..." Hiei said.

"Who's ugly?!"

"I've already vowed my revenge on you, detective," he continued, ignoring Kuwabara's response. "What if I decide to carry that out now?"

"Maybe," Yusuke allowed, "but I don't think quick deaths are really your style." Hiei looked at him with slightly widened eyes. "I trust you. I'll let out all my stops to buy us a little time. Now GO!" Yusuke's Spirit Energy was glowing around him.

"I'll help!" Gwen said as she powered up. Hiei ran to the switch and was reaching for it until...

"Yes, that's it," the creepy one eyed demon persuaded as Hiei looked back. "You find amusement in their pain. Prostate yourself before my masters and they will give you power beyond your wildest dreams. Maybe you can be the general of our demon army."

Hiei's hand was shaking, then he made it to a fist. He turned to his friends and chuckled.

"What's so funny?!" Kuwabara asked.

"Take a guess, you fool..." Hiei closed his eyes and smirked.

"HIEI?!" The ceiling was falling a little at a time. Everyone looked at him.

"Good choice. The boulder would have crushed you anyway," the demon said as it flew away.

Hiei glared at it and jumped, drawing out his katana.

"Thanks for the clue!" he said as he slashed at its huge eye. The demon was screaming and squirming as Hiei landed and pulled the switch. Everyone ran out when a huge boulder crashed on Hiei.

"Hiei!" Yusuke shouted. Gwen looked up and smirked. Everyone else looked up and saw Hiei on top of the boulder, looking at the demon as it was squirming while flying away.

"Tell your masters that they will be next," he spat.

Hiei jumped down as everyone ran to him. Yusuke put on a big cheesy grin and said, "And I thought you were gonna leave us. Such a good actor! Not everyone can laugh at their friends like that while they're dying!"

Hiei turned away and walked down the hall. "Friends are just a crutch for the weak. The only reason I saved your lives because I MIGHT need your help."

Gwen looked at him, a little puzzled. 'Is that his pride talking?'

Kurama walked up to them and chuckled. "That's just his way of saying 'you're welcome.' You will learn."

"Strange," Yusuke muttered. They began walking through the castle's corridors.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

"How humiliating! I would like to kill that 'Hiei' for mocking us!" one of the Saint Beasts cried out in anger.

"I will go to our 'Guests'. It would be so amusing to me," said another.

"Brother, I think I will go and see our guests," a feminine voice said cockily.

"Oh, all right, Sister. Hope you have fun!" a Saint Beast crowed.

"Oh, I plan to..." she replied, laughing.

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Gwen and the guys reached to a double door.

"I feel a strong Spirit Energy in that room," Kuwabara said, quivering slightly.

"Then let's go!" Gwen said as she pushed the doors open. They looked around and figured that it was a throne room. It certainly looked like a throne room, with the throne and all. But everything was gold, or around that color.

"Hello, I have been expecting you."

They looked at the throne and saw a beautiful demon sitting there. "So you must be our guests."

"Are you a Saint Beast?" Kurama asked.

"Heavens no! I'm the leader's sister. I'm Electria, and I'll be your executioner." She gave a laugh. "So, who will it be? I don't mind if all five of you fight me."

'She's so cocky!' Gwen thought angrily. 'I'll like to beat her up until she screams to her brother.'

The guys huddled up. "So who wants her?" Yusuke asked.

Kuwabara shook his head. "Not me! It's wrong to fight girls."

Hiei looked at him. "Hn. I'll go and kill her."

Gwen looked at the boys. "No. You boys should take on the Saint Beasts. I'll beat this little witch."

Kurama nodded. "So it's decided. Gwen will take on Electria."

Gwen nodded and walked toward Electria. "I'll be your opponent...or as you so tactfully put it...your executioner..."

Electria smiled. "About time! I was wondering if you weaklings would fight." She stood up and ran a hand through her long spikes of golden blond hair. Her yellow eyes were fixed on Gwen. "So...ready to die?"

^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^o^

Mitsukai: Cliffy! I love writing these! Just hate reading them! *runs away from two certain youkais who have stolen the hose from a certain authoress*
