Chapter Three

The next morning, when Hiei woke up, he walked around the forest, looking for more wood. Instead of finding wood, he found a lighter. It looked like it had enough gas in it to last for three days. He lit it, then smirked in victory when it lit. He turned it off, put it in his pocket, and continued looking for more wood.

Kurama yawned, stretched, then slowly woke up. He smacked his lips a bit, then sat up. It wasn't as cold as it was yesterday. In fact, it was really nice out here. He looked around and noticed Hiei wasn't there. "Hiei?" He whispered, looking around for his friend. He got off his hands and knees. "Hiei?" He whispered a little louder. "What?" Hiei hissed, wallking back with a heavy lot of firewood. He threw it into the stone circle. "I also found," Hiei dug around in his pocket, "This." He held up the lighter. Kurama grinned. "That's good. Now we can keep warm." Kurama picked up some of the wood out of the pit, and walked over to the other cabin.

The other cabin was mainly used for storage, and there weren't any beds in it. It was built fine. Kurama then asked himself why they didn't sleep in there. Hiei's nasty remark rang in his head, "Besides, it'll be just as cold in there than it is out here." He sighed. The outdoors was beating them already. He pushed the door open, and also thought of the bear and it's strength. It could've easily knocked down the door with it's huge paws, and then get the marshmallows, doubling the cold. Kurama gently laid the firewood down, brushed his hands off on his pants, then walked back outside.

"Good morning, Kurama! I didn't know you were awake," Yusuke said, then grinned sheepishly, "To be honest, I didn't even know you were alive.I thought a bear dragged you in the bushes and ate you." "Ha ha, very funny Yusuke." Kurama glared. "I don't think right now is a good time to be doing this." Hiei said, struggling to light the lighter. Once the flame slowly appeared, he set the wood on fire. "All right, gather around." He said, sitting on the bench. Everyone else tried to squeeze on there as well, but of course they couldn't fit. Well, they could, but it was a very tight squeeze. Yay, tight squeezes? o.o

"I know! Let's pass the time by singing campfire songs!" Yusuke yelled grinning. Everyone glared at him. "I'm not risking myself to a bear again, Urameshi...And where did Kuwabara go?" Hiei asked coldly. Yusuke blinked. "Hm, I think maybe....nah, I donno." Yusuke got up. "Maybe we should look for him." Kurama suggested. "Yeah! What he said!" Yusuke grinned. Hiei and Kurama got up and followed Yusuke around trying to look for Kuwabara.

Where WAS Kuwabara anyway?

"Back! Back you evil monster! Back!!" Kuwabara swatted at a bear from his high perch in a tree. The bear growled, then jumped on the tree. "Damn...." Kuwabara managed to squeak before running out of the forest screaming.

"Guys, do you hear...screaming?" Yusuke trembled. Kurama nodded, and Hiei said, "I hear a moron." Kuwabara came running over to them. "BEAR!!!" He kept screaming constantly. The others watched him pass and then ran from the bear that was after him in the first place.

Hiei was obviously running the fastest. He started digging in his pockets and found a bag of marshmallows. (God, those pockets hold all! o.O) He tore it open, threw a handful at the bear, and ran for cover. The bear sniffled the marshmallows, ate them, and ran off.

Everyone was hiding on top of the cabin. They were shaking in fear. They were huddled together, whimpering. "Hiei, does that mean you have food?" Yusuke asked. Hiei pulled marshmallows out of his pockets. Everyone grinned. "Food!" They jumped to the fire and started roasting marshmallows.

And once again...Kuwabara squirted his marshmallow out of his nose and the fire went out, making everything cold.

"Damn you Kuwabara..." Yusuke said shivering.
