A Friend in Need Part II
On a normal night, Xena and Gabrielle are camping as usual while Gabrielle looks up to the cosmos and wonders about where they've been and where they're going. Xena ponders as to whether Gabrielle wants to continue to travel Greece and suggests that they head south to the Land of the Pharaohs because she heard that "they need a girl with a Chakram. A young Japanese monk named Kenji staggers into their campsite one night holding an exotic looking sword called a katana. Revealing he has come to deliver a message from Akemi , Kenji launches into the terrifying story of his narrow escape from a horrendous death at the hands of the evil Samurai ghost Yodoshi , a fate met by his unfortunate traveling companion Saburo. The hair-raising events he describes unfold in a teahouse outside the city of Higuchi, inhabited by three beautiful ghosts who have been forced by Yodoshi to seduce souls into his grasp.
