Ch. 2

As they came out onto the other side of the portal,

" What the hell! " Yusuke shouted as he saw what was in front of him and his friends.

" Of all the places that brat had to send us, it was here. " Hiei said in his usual tone of voice.

" I couldn't agree more. " Kurama said.

The reason for Yusuke's shout and the comments from Hiei and Kurama, was that when they had come out of the portal, they had walked into about 5ft. of snow and needless to say Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama were a little upset, because Koenma never told them that they were going to be in snow or tell them to dress right for the conditions of the weather. And the other reason was because with this snow as high as it was, would make finding the wolf demon all the more difficult.

" Hey Hiei. "

" What is it you buffoon. " Hiei replied to Kuwabara.

" Why don't you melt the snow with your fire? " Kuwabara asked, this time with irratation in his voice.

" I'd rather save my energy when fighting that wolf demon instead. Just deal with it. " Hiei said back as he jumped up and landed in a tree that was near the group.

" You don't have to be so hateful about it. " Kuwabara commented as he and the rest of the team began walking in the 5ft. of snow, while Hiei jumped from tree branch to tree branch.

" W-W-Well, at least it's nice out, right? " Botan stuttered as she wrapped her arms around herself to keep warm.

5 minutes later,

SWISH! HOWL! SWIRL! ( sorry about the wind noises : Sweatdrop: )

" You just had to say it was nice out didn't you?! " Yusuke shouted out as the wind and snow swirled around them, blowing in their faces and putting hair in their faces, which was mainly Kurama, Botan, and Hiei; even though his hair stays up all the time, that doesn't mean it won't move like everyone elses hair, and he had came back down to the ground when the wind became to violent and causing the trees to sway a little to much for Hiei's liking.

And with all the wind blowing and snow moving around and blinding them, it also made everything even more colder and the snow more deeper.

Botan was just barely keeping up with her friends as she walked through the, now 7ft. of snow, her legs were starting to turn as blue as her hair, because for this mission; instead of wearing her usual blue jean pants, she wore black jean shorts and a white undershirt, which is thin and not a good thing to wear in the snow.

But the other's weren't having any trouble walking in the snow, because all four of them were wearing pants, Yusuke in his usual jeans and white t-shirt, Kuwabara in a light purple t-shirt and dark blue jeans, Hiei in his usual black out-fit, and Kurama in a navy blue t-shirt and slightly baggy black jeans. And it also helped that they were wearing hiking boots, because they have a good grip when walking up hill or in snow, but unforunately Botan was wear snickers and she kept slipping and sliding down in the snow every now and then.

" I think it would be wise to find some kind of shelter and wait out this storm! " Kurama shouted over the howling wind to the group's leader, as he continued to walk.

" I agree with Kurama, Yusuke, that wolf demon couldn't have gotten far in this storm either. " Kuwabara shouted in agreement with his friend.

Even Hiei agreed, " I hate to admit it but I agree with the Fox and the buffoon. " He said as his Jagon eye began to glow.

" Alright you guys win, you find anything Hiei? " Yusuke shouted back as he stopped along with his friends, waiting for what Hiei said.

" Yes, there's a small cave to the right of us, it's not that far from here, its not much but it'll block out the cold wind. " Hiei shouted his answer and turned to his right and began leading his friends to the cave he found.

But Kurama had a bad feeling as they keep walking towards the cave, he used his senses to see if there was any danger but he couldn't find anythin threatening. ' Besides, Hiei would have told us if there was anything wrong. ' Kurama thought, ' But why do I feel as though something is out place? ' He continued his thoughts as he and the others got to the cave and surprisingly there was some sticks and leaves scattered all over the cave floor.

" Well I guess we stay here and start a fire. " Yusuke said as he began to gather the sticks and leaves.

" Hey guys. Where's Botan? " Kuwabara asked as he looked around the cave with what little light there was.

" Huh? " Yusuke said as he too looked around, " Hey Botan! Where are you?! " He shouted, his voice echoing off the cave walls.

Silence.

" You don't think a demon got her do you? " Kuwabara asked worriedly.

" I don't think so...That means we left her outside in that damn storm! " Yusuke shouted as he turned to go back into the snow storm but was stopped by Hiei.

" Get outta the way Hiei! Botan could be a frozen block of ice by now! And no offence to Yukina. " Yusuke shouted to the Fire demon but said the last part in a whisper, because Hiei's little sister is an ice demon.

" None taken. And I wouldn't worry about the onna. Kurama already left to go get her. " Hiei replied in his usual tone, now that they aren't in the howling winds.

" What? When did he leave? " Kuwabara asked.

" He left the moment you asked where the onna was. " Hiei said as he walked over to the wall and sat down, flicking his wrist and the small pile of leaves and sticks, Yusuke gathered turned into a small fire, which, Yusuke and Kuwabara went to and put their hands to it.

" I think we should go help Fox boy. " Yusuke said as he got some feeling back in his hands.

" Don't worry Detective, Fox won't anything happen to the ferry girl. " Hiei said with his eyes closed and ignoring his friends odd and confused looks, all the while smirking mentally, knowing the reason as to why the fox left in such a hurry.
