The team turned to see a girl dressed in a tight, black, leather-like tub top with one strap. Tight, black, leather-like pants with high-healed boots, and black, high-healed shoes. She had long blound hair, tied into a pony tail with saphhire blue eyes. She held up her claw with her fingers pointing at them. "I suggest you don't move unless you want to die." she said. "Rika..." Kurama felt himself being overcome with emotions. "HA! What are you going to do with you little nails?" Kuwabara laughed. Rika took her free hand and pointed a nail behind her. Than one of her nails began to glow a golden color. Suddenly it flung off like a bullet and hit the wall, when it did it exploded and sent a firey rage through the back hall. "Well....I guess you can do that...." Kuwabara said. Rika laughed evilly, "Looks like I traped you in a corrner." "Your not going to get away with this!" Kuwabara shouted. "I think I will. I've planed everything out perfectly. No flaws." Rika eyed them. "Rika! Why are you doing this?" Kurama asked. "WHY!? YOU KNOW WHY! It's odveouse you b@$+@rd!!" Rika shouted in anger. "If you are truly as greatful in power as you say you are, then try to evade me." Hiei said and dissapeared. Rika grinned and flipped around, catching Hiei in the air, then kicking his into the back wall. She shot a nail at him and it exploded. "HIEI!" The others called out and began to run toward him, but Rika spun around and pointed her nails at them, "DON'T MOVE!" they stopped in place, staing at her. Hiei suddenly reappeared next to the gang. Rika grinned and snapped her fingers. Then a flaming ball of blueish fire fell fromthe ceiling onto the team. The flames dissapeared. "I...can't move..." Yusuke said. "Me niether...." Kuwabara said. "My body's frozen still...." Kurama said as well. "It's a spell. It freezes you in place. Try to move, it amuses me to watch you struggle." Rika said. "Your a sorceruss." Hiei eyed her. "You must be smater then you look. I wonder what else you know about me. 'Cause I know everything about you." Rika said. "When I get out of this spell or whatever it is, I'm going to kick your freakin' @$$ just for pissing me off!!" Yusuke yelled. Rika laughed, "PATHETIC! Your all too pathetic! It's funny!" she continued to laugh. "Your the one who's pathetic. You traping us like this prove how courdly you are. Instead of fighting, you hid behind your cheap spells! Making us die a slow death without sullying your own hands." Hiei said. "Oh, don't worry fire demon. I'll fight. This is just part of my plan. You'll get your fair fight, and die. Just be patient. Why rush your death?" Rika turned and walked away. "COWARD!!" Kuwabara shouted to her. The team struggled, using their energy in hopes of breaking the spell. "How do we get out of this!?" Kuwabara asked, sturggling against the spell. "Shut up Kuwabara and think!!" Yusuke said through the grit of his teeth. "Why don't use some common sence, detective. The fool is incapable of thinking at all." Hiei said, who was the only one not struggling. "Boy when I get out of this, I'm goin' kick your @$$ good, short stuff!!"Kuwabara shouted. "I'd like to see you try to merely lay a finger on me." Hiei said with a sly grin. "You little-why I'm gonna!-" Kuwabara began to mumble as he stared at Hiei viciously. Though Hiei just ignored him as usual.
Meanwhile, Rika was walking through the dark cavern halls. "If my plan works...they'll all be dead by sun rise tomorrow." She grinned evilly and began to laugh manicly.

Meanwhile, around and hour had passed and the team was still struggling to get free. Then the spell broke and they were able to move again. "Ha! Looks like we broke the spell afterall!" Kuwabara said. "No you idiot. She canceled it." Hiei said, breaking Kuwabara's joyous moment. "I suspect a trap." Kurama said. "Yeah. Who know what that bitch is going to do to us next." Yusuke said through the grit of his teeth. Then they heard her maniacle giggleing throughout the cavern. "That her?" Kuwabara asked. No one answered, but their eyes shifted back and forth, thrying to pin-point her. Then Hiei turned around, "THERE!" He vanished and reapeared by the wall where he unsheathed his sword and slashed at and image of Rika. Then the image vanished. Her laugh filled the room, "You can barely follow my after image! So how do you expect to catch me?"

Yusuke's eyes shifted, following her voice and laughter. Then he turned quickly to his right and punched. He managed to hit Rika and she flew to the ground, hard. "If you don't want your location to be found, then I sugest you shut your big mouth." Yusuke said. Rika looked back him with a hand on the ground in frount of her, trying to get up. Then she hoped to her feet, swating down, and vanished again. This time, nothing was heard. Then Rika reapeared behind Yusuke and threw a punch. Her eyes went wide as she saw Yusuke catch her blow. Then he kicked her into the wall. "So that's it? You run around like a rat until I walip you?" Yusuke said with a fist raised slightly. "If I don't kill him quickly, he could pose to be a serious threat someday." Rika thought. Then she took something out from behind her and threw it against the ground in front of her. It was a smoke bomb and it instently filled the room. When it cleared, she was gone and four more passages had opened up. "Where'd she go!?" Kuwabara asked as she looked around. "In one of those." Kurama pointed to the four new cavern halls. "How do we tell wich one it was!?" Kuwabara asked, looking at each of the halls. "Looks like we need to split up again." Kurama said. "What's the point? The last time we did it lead to the same place!" Yusuke said. "I believe there may have been some more to those four halls then we thought before." Kurama said. "Whatever! Let's just go!" Yusuke complained and walked into one of the halls. "What's his problem?" Kuwabara stared after him. "He's just stubborn sometimes.." Kurama said. Kuwabara mumbled to himself while walking into a different hall. Kurama sighed and started into another cavern. "Are you so sure you want to be doing this? To your own blood?" Hiei questioned with a sly grin. "No, but then again I don't have a choice..." Kurama said, walking into the darkness. Hiei shook his head and took the last cave.

As Kuwabara walked through the cave, he was cautious of his surroundings, but not afraid. Then he heard something, like a laugh almost, "I guess I should take care of the foolish weaklins first to get you out of the way." A voice rang out. "WHO'S THERE!?!" Kuwabara looked around. Then he saw a light and ran for it, "I'LL GET YOU!!" he entered a plain, lit room with no other doors in it and had a domed roof and Rika stood at the other end. "If I'm not mistaken, your Kuwabara, correct?" she asked and sounded nice. "What's it to ya!?" Kuwabara shouted. "Oh, I just would," Rika paused, still sounding nice, but then, "like to know the names of the ones I kill." she said evilly. "YEAH RIGHT!!" Kuwabara shouted, "YOUR NOT KILLIN' ANYONE!!" He charged her, about to summon his spirit sword, when he remebered, "WAIT! She's a girl..." then he stoped. Rika stared and blinked thinking, "Oh...right, your 'code' about not hitting a girl. I swear men are so sexist..." she shook her head then she dissapeared. She reappeared behind him and said, "Not to meantion weak." Then she hit him in the back and he hit the wall, hard. Then Rika pointed her fingers like a gun at him as he turned over. Then, she shot a nail off and it exploaded. "Too easy..." she said with a grin, turned, and started to walk away. "Where do you think your going?" she heard from behind and stopped. She turned to see Kuwabara walk out of the dust. He looked pretty bad though. His shirt was nearly completely ripped off and he had many cuts and bruises. He had his right hand, gripping his left arm. "How are you even able to stand!?" Kuwabara had surprised Rika. "Maybe I'm not as weak as you think..." Kuwabara said. "Please, you can barely stand." Rika said. "YEAH WELL, I'M JUST WARMIN' UP!" Kuwabara shouted. "Where's that power comming from? It's like he's immortal. I hit him head on with my attack! Oh well, it's still nothing. He'll die here." Rika thought. Rika unsheathed her double elbow swords that were tied to her back. She charged him, "YOUR POWER IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!!" She jumped in the air and came down on him, slashing her swords. Kuwabara blocked with his spirit sword. The combined power knocked Rika and Kuwabara back. Before hitting the ground, Rika did a back flip and landed on one hand and both her knees. Then she charged as Kuwbara was just getting his balance back. Then Rika came from no where and slashed him in the stomach. He fell to the ground as Rika laughed minacly, "That fight was shorter then I thought. Humans are so pathetic." she started for the hall as she continued to laugh. As she faded into the darkness, Kuwabara's hand twitched and tensed.
