## Summary

With two artifacts under his belt, Yusuke heads for his most dangerous challenge yet – the ruthless demon Hiei. But unbeknownst to Yusuke, Hiei is chasing him, and kidnaps his girlfriend Keiko! Unless Yusuke can retrieve the antidote inside Hiei’s Shadow Sword, Keiko will become a brainless, monster slave! Can Yusuke close the case?

## Plot Details

Wielding the Shadow Sword, Hiei claims that he knows the mistakes of both his former cohorts. He believes Gouki was overconfident and Kurama is sympathetic. Hiei claims he's better off alone and plots to kill Yusuke Urameshi. Yusuke meets with Botan during school hours and discusses Kurama's status as well as Hiei's. Kurama has been pardoned and Botan describes Hiei as the most dangerous and cunning demon thus far by a wide margin.

Keiko finds them both on the roof and Botan tries to introduce herself but Yusuke stops her from revealing too much about the Spirit World. Keiko becomes suspicious and Yusuke is put in an awkward position with her and Botan. Meanwhile, Hiei watches them from afar using his mysterious third eye and confirms he can get to Yusuke through Keiko.

After school, Keiko walks by and worries about Yusuke's relationship with Botan. She's suddenly attacked by Hiei and Yusuke's compass sends him an alert. Yusuke and Botan chase after Hiei's spiritual energy and it is revealed that the demon has kidnapped Keiko. Hiei demands the two other artifacts in return for Keiko's life and leads Yusuke into his hideout.

Yusuke and Botan arrive inside an abandoned warehouse where they find themselves surrounded by humans being controlled by Hiei. Botan surmises that Hiei possesses the Jagan Eye, which he confirms by displaying it while revealing himself. Hiei's eye doesn't work on Yusuke, but that's why he kidnapped Keiko as insurance.

Yusuke turns over the other two artifacts in order to rescue Keiko. He immediately tries to take down Hiei after, but his speed surprises Yusuke. Hiei reveals that he's cut Keiko with the Shadow Sword and she will become a demon before long. Botan uses her lifeforce to delay Keiko's Jagan Eye from opening. Yusuke must defeat Hiei to save both Keiko and Botan.

Hiei reveals that the Shadow Sword contains an antidote within its hilt, but Yusuke will have to fight him for it. Yusuke surprises Hiei with a quick punch and states that this isn't a game to him. Hiei goes on a monologue about his own strength, but Yusuke strikes Hiei despite his speed. Aggravated, Hiei transforms into his full demon form and Keiko's eye reacts by transforming her faster, making it more difficult for Botan to stop.

Hiei overpowers Yusuke using the full powers of his Jagan demon form. Just before Hiei lands a killing blow, Kurama leaps in front of the blade and allows himself to be stabbed in order to save Yusuke's life. Kurama splashes his own blood into Hiei's eye, interrupting his powers. Kurama risked his life to save Yusuke because Yusuke saved the former before. Despite his injury, Kurama focuses on stabilizing Keiko and leaves Hiei to Yusuke.

Yusuke's Spirit Energy grows even more and Hiei gets serious. He uses his speed to outmaneuver Yusuke, landing several blows in succession before knocking Yusuke to the ground. Cornered, Yusuke notices the Forlorn Hope behind Hiei and moves to a better position. Hiei's overconfidence leads him to believe that Yusuke is running. He falls right into Yusuke's trap.

Yusuke fires a Spirit Gun that Hiei appears to dodge. But it reflects off the mirror and blasts Hiei in the back, defeating him. After watching Hiei dodge his blows for so long, he was able to tell the way he would avoid the blast. After the battle, Yusuke uses the antidote from the Shadow Sword to heal Keiko.

Botan and Kurama realize that Yusuke was able to defeat Hiei due purely to luck. Yusuke was unsure if the mirror would deflect the Spirit Gun, prompting Botan to scold him for his recklessness. Yusuke completes his mission to reclaim the Artifacts of Darkness, but King Enma found out Koenma anyway and punished him with one hundred spankings.

Yusuke and Botan reflect on Yusuke's accomplishment but Keiko finds Yusuke and Botan on the roof again, spawning another awkward situation.
