Chapter One
Note: This is what happens when you watch YYH music videos after arriving home from a really cold retreat with the youth group of the curch to North Carolina. o.O
Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei all sat on a bench next to the fire roasting marshmallows. Kuwabara yanked his from the fire and watched it burn. "Hey guys, watch this!" He boasted, then stuffed the flaming marshamallow in his mouth. The other three blinked. "Um, yeah, you ate a flaming marshmallow. Wonderful..." Yusuke said sarcastically. Kuwabara then blew the marshmallow out of his nose and into the fire. The fire went out, and all was dark and cold.
"Does anyone have any matches?" Kurama asked. Everyone was shivering. "I thought you brought it." Hiei asked. "No, I thought Kuwabara had it." Kurama announced. "I thought Yusuke had it." Kuwabara said, his teeth chattering. "Hm, oh yeah! I flushed it down the toilet!" Yusuke grinned and everyone glared. "Okay, it's not a big deal," Kurama got up and felt around for the doorknob, "We'll just need to...." Unfortunatly for them, Hiei accidently locked them out. To make things worse, the windows were locked too. So the detectives were cold, wet from the rafting trip, and worst of all there were bears here.
"Maybe Botan has something...." Yusuke said shakily. "Remember what happened this morning? Kuwabara sat on them...and broke them..." Hiei glared at Kuwabara. "Besides, what could the ferrygirl do? Magically float down with the key to the house? Besides, the house would be just as cold." "But there wouldn't be any bears! And stop blaming me for everything!" Kuwabara yelled. "Hn."
"Maybe it didn't flush." Yusuke said. "Maybe what didn't flush?" Kurama asked. He was just getting stupider because of the cold. "The potty." Yusuke said. He crossed his legs. "But I hafta go bad! ANd I'm scared!" He whimpered. "I'll go with you!" Kuwabara said. ::insert superman music here:: Everyone sweatdropped. "Um, fine...." They walked off to the bathroom.
Kuwabara actually had a flashlight with them in case of emergencies.Yusuke had one, too, as did the others. The light of the flashlight bounced along the trail as the two walked. The light to the small, run down wooden wash house flickered to life as the two approached. They entered the room labeled "Rock Studs".
Yusuke looked around. "This place is so empty; you woulda figured a place located right here would be more popular." Yusuke pushed the stall open. Kuwabara waited patiently for Yusuke to do his thing, and when he finished, Kuwabara heard a flush and Yusuke came out.
"Damn, it's cold out here." Yusuke said, his teeth chattering. He started waddling around like a penguin, like Kuwabara was. They both got back to the camp site and Hiei and Kurama were waiting. "We found another back of marshmallows in Hiei's pocket. We won't starve out here after all." Kurama said, holding up another bag of marshmallows. Hiei glared. Kuwabara grinned. "Yay! Marshmallows!" He tackled the bag and the other three watched as he ate the very last bit of marshmallows. They all glared at him when he finished, his mouth covering in the white slime. He laughed sheepishly.
"Maybe we could drive off." Kurama suggested, which was his best idea thus far. "Yeah! That's the best idea thus far!" Yusuke yelled, dashing to the bus. "Wait!!!" Hiei stopped them, then pointed inside. "The keys are inside." He said. "Maybe we could hotwire it?" Kurama asked. "Do you know which wires to use?" Hiei replied. "I could figure it out." "Yeah, sure, and get electrocuted in the process. Go ahead."
So, on top of everything else, the detectives were trapped outside with no food, water, heating, shelter, OR a getaway car.
