- January 23, 1993
Yusuke and the team have to travel to an island to investigate a series of strange disappearances. After arriving on the island, they meet a young girl named Asato who has a strong affinity for flowers. She tells them that she heard screams coming from a nearby mansion, and the team sets out to investigate.
As they explore the mansion, they come across a room with a beautifully decorated wall covered in roses. Suddenly, they are attacked by a group of rose vines that try to strangle them. Kuwabara manages to destroy the vines with his spirit sword, but they realize that the mansion is full of dangerous traps.
Meanwhile, Kurama is separated from the group and stumbles upon a woman named Toya who is hiding in a room. She tells him that she's been trapped there for weeks and begs for his help. Kurama agrees to help her, but soon realizes that Toya is actually a demon who has been luring humans to the island to feed on their fear.
Back with the rest of the group, they encounter a group of masked men who are searching for something in the mansion. Yusuke and the others hide and watch as the men perform a strange dance around a rose-covered statue. After the men leave, the group examines the statue and realizes that it's actually a gateway to a secret room.
Inside the room, they find a woman named Mizuki who has been trapped there for years. She tells them that the masked men are members of an evil organization called the Black Black Club who are searching for a powerful artifact called the Mirror of Darkness. Mizuki also reveals that they need the artifact to enter the demon realm and overthrow the king.
After gathering all this information, Yusuke and the others realize that they have to stop the Black Black Club from getting the artifact. They team up with Kurama and Toya, who helps them navigate the traps in the mansion and find the Mirror of Darkness.
The group finally confronts the Black Black Club in a final showdown. Yusuke and Kurama fight off the masked men while Kuwabara and Hiei destroy the Mirror of Darkness so that it can never fall into the wrong hands. In the end, the group saves the island from the demons and sets off on their next adventure.
