Lone Wolf: Yukina x Touya story!
Hiei: Well at least it's not that idiot, Kuwabara.
Kuwabara: Hey! At least I'm not puny and short.
Lone Wolf: Anyway, lets just ignore them and start.
An ice maiden made her way around the temple, searching for Genkai. Her sea green hair was blowing in the light breeze. It was winter and it was cold, but the girl was used to it. After all, she is one of the Koorime. Yukina could hear faint footsteps in the distance. She looked toward the source and saw Yusuke with the goofy Kazuma walking up the steps to the temple. She walked over to greet them, abandoning the task of finding Genkai for now. "Hello Kazuma, Yusuke," she said warmly. "Yukina!" Kuwabara screamed happily at the top of his lungs. "Hey," Yusuke replied, "Where's the old hag?" "Oh. I was just looking for her," Yukina answered, still smiling. It was amazing how one could remain so happy.
Due to all the noise outside, Genkai had come out to see what the commotion was about. She had a good idea though, having sensed Yusuke's familiar demonic aura. She invited the boys in; she didn't exactly have a choice. They were all sitting in the living room, Kuwabara trying to start a conversation with Yukina, who only smiled at him. Finally cutting him off, the ice maiden asked, "Who wants hot chocolate?" "Me!" Kuwabara responded. Genkai and Yusuke nodded. Yukina walked off to the kitchen with Kuwabara saying something about helping her. She refused his request, telling him that she could manage on her own. Yukina returned to the living room about eight minutes later, holding a tray with four mugs filled with the hot liquid. She handed one to Genkai and one to Yusuke, both whom nodded their thanks. Handing a third cup to Kuwabara, she received a very enthusiastic thank you. The girl finally took the last cup for herself and enjoyed the drink.
Botan arrived soon after and joined the group, Yukina fetching a cup for the blue haired girl. Kurama and Hiei came shortly after that, sending the ice maiden back into the kitchen. Finally settled, everyone sat peacefully. The complete opposite of outside, the temple was cozy and warm. Botan had decided to tell jokes but she stopped after a warning glare from Hiei. She remained silent for a few minutes then began to tell a story. No one was paying her much attention. Kuwabara had succeeded in having a conversation with Yukina. Hiei was half asleep, Genkai and Kurama also seemed to have dozed off. Yusuke was staring into space, thinking about Keiko. She had gone shopping with Shizuru and he hadn't wanted to go along. Right now he wished he had; Botan's voice could get quite annoying. Realizing that no one was listening to her, Botan stopped telling her story and joined in on Kuwabara and Yukina's conversation. A few select words caught Genkai, Kurama, Yusuke, and even Hiei's attention, causing the four to join in as well. "I've looked for so long but still I haven't found him," Yukina said sadly. Guilt rising, Hiei hated seeing his sister like this. He couldn't tell her; it would break her heart if she knew her brother was a thief. Yusuke, Kurama, and Genkai exchanged glances, unseen by the other three beings in the room. The conversation went on and on but it solved nothing. Talking wouldn't help Yukina find her twin brother.
Snow had started to fall. It was almost six. Everyone minus Yukina and Genkai got up to leave. The ice maiden walked them to the door and bid them farewell. Returning inside, she cleaned up the mugs as well as whatever other mess there was. Finishing the task, Yukina went to her room. She'd thought about it and she'd made up her mind. She would be going to Makai and she would be looking for her brother on her own. She didn't wish to trouble anyone to help her. Yukina pulled out a pad of paper and a pen from a drawer. It was a quick and simple note, saying that she was returning to Koorime for awhile to visit her mother's grave. After she finished writing the note, she hid it under her pillow. There was no reason for anyone to find out before she left Ningenkai. She cannot travel around Makai in her kimono. It only told the world that she wasn't much of a fighter. In case she did wind up in a battle with another demon, her control of the cold would not be enough. She was going to search around Koorime though not much on the floating island itself. The surrounding area would be cold. Making it colder might not do much damage as the inhabitants of the area are probably used to the cold. Perhaps a dagger of katana would do. Yukina thought it over. She could get a cloak and hide the sheath under it. However that would mean that she would have to train with the sword. She continued to think. An idea came to her. Of course! She could ask Hiei for help on wielding a sword and she could ask Keiko to help her find a store where they sold cloaks. Satisfied, Yukina left her room to start dinner.
Lone Wolf: That's the first chapter. I was going to make it longer but it seemed okay to stop there.
Hiei: (no comment)
Lone Wolf: No Touya x Yukina yet, I know. So should I continue?
