Three days after our return we were told that we were gonna move out once more to finally conclude the war in some kinda giant battle with all the surrounding demon and human armies. Nah not really, I wish it could be that cause then we could finally be able to finish this horrible, useless, pointless war, but no...three days later a scout had returned with news on the mysterious army that was un-dead. I heard nothing on it, but I did hear that we were gonna move out with half our army to ambush the 'dead' army. Bullshit, nothing but fucking bullshit, but it's true no matter how much I wish to ignore it, it was true. Hiei snarled at the news when he found out but held his tongue, and gave me an evil glare before I let mine go. Almost our entire platoon was heading out, but in small groups that way noone will suspect anything unusual. Yea right...unusual...this whole fucking army is just that, but those were our orders...and we had to follow them.
A week after we heard the news and here I am...once more...out in the same godforsaken demon forest which I barely escaped from with my life, with Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Thief, Krew, and about ten other soldiers. All of them green and wet-nosed, damn I know I'm really going to fucking die now.
We sat hiding in the brush and snow waiting for the 'dead' army to come by. I took a good look at the ten men that were forced to follow us. About three of them were demon, each looking around lazily and yawning. The other six who were human, sat and stared with wide eyes into the open nervously holding their guns and gulping. I snort at them silently. I knew that if a demon or a 'dead' soldier didn't get me, I'd probably be hit by friendly fire from one of these fools.
I look ahead of myself and quickly got bored with that and turned to look at my left. Kurama was sitting beside me blowing into his hands and shivering from the wind. Oh yea...I forgot to say that it was fucking 20 degrees out here without the wind...and guess what...it's just got windy! The wind dropped the temperature another 10 degrees. I could see Kurama's breath hover around him along with his red hair. I got a sudden shiver and took my eyes to the ground, staring at my shoelaces I heard Krew say silently that it was fucking cold, and Kuwabara agreeing with him. I was about to agree as well, but I heard Hiei growl and decided against it.
A few hours passed with nothing coming by, except for a few demon rabbits and squirrels. Hell these animals are all crazy looking and evil, I swear I once saw a saber-toothed turtle with bat wings fly in the sky. I sighed and lowered my rifle, I looked down at my hands and saw them shaking. I decided that they were shaking because they were cold, I would never admit that I was really nervous. Day soon turned into night and it began to snow, I couldn't see a thing in front of me. Which wasn't a good thing since it was my turn to keep lookout, Kurama was here with me to nervous to sleep. I doubt he could see anything either. "Fucking weather." I whisper to myself. Kurama jabbed me in the side with his elbow and hushed me, I turned to him and saw him looking towards the trees in front of us. He must've seen or heard something cause I saw him squeeze his gun tightly in his frozen hands.
I raised my lowered rifle and tried to see through the harsh winds and snow, I squinted and held my breath. I heard a loud snap in front of me and by pure instinct I fired my gun in the direction of the snap. Startling the others from their sleep, I heard them pick up their rifles in a hurry and they too fired in that direction. Seconds later I heard Hiei shout out for them to hold their fire, I stayed frozen not believing that I had just given away our position. I felt a hand grab me from the back of my collar and pull me around, I was turned and looking at Hiei's furious face.
"Do you know what you just did?" he snarled softly at me. "Soldiers within a three mile radius heard those shots...do you know what that means?" I said nothing, but nodded understanding what he meant. Our position was given and we were now sitting ducks for anything nearby. Hiei looked down and I could hear him growl, he looked back up at me and banged his helmet into my bare forehead shaking my brain inside. "If you fire again without my permission, I personally will shove this gun up your ass and fire a bullet into your brain." he growled letting go of me, he went back to his post and tried to calm the other men down. I stayed sitting in the snow holding my head.
"Shit, I fucked up." I swore to myself. Kurama agreed with me and went back to looking towards the trees, getting ready just in case something jumped out to attack. I looked over the men and saw all of them looking scared. "Shit I really fucked up." I repeated.
"You sure as hell did Urameshi." Kuwabara sighed coming towards me. "What the hell happened, did you see something or what?"
"Not saw, heard. Something a few yards away from us snapped, something's out there...waiting." I said. Kuwabara swore and looked towards the direction I pointed out.
"If anything was there we probably scared it away with our shots." He said sounding optimistic. I said nothing and went back to my post, swearing to myself for losing my nerve.

Night soon turned in day once more and nothing ever happened. My sudden shoot-out must've warned the other army that we were near and they never came. Radio contact with the other squads were the same. The army never came. I sighed and rubbed my eyes from sleepiness and for relief from the stinging ice. The snow stopped, but it was still winding, still cold. I head Hiei speaking through the radio that was attached to Krew's new equipment bag. I couldn't really hear what he was saying but it must've been something about us going back because hr stood looking over the rest of us. We were given order's to not stand cause we would give ourselves away.
"Alright, I just got our new order's, we are to regroup back at camp and come up with something there. So everyone pack up, were moving out." He said with a look of frustration in his eyes.
"Pointless, this was just a waste of freaking time." I muttered to myself.
"Just be glad that we didn't see any action Yusuke." Thief said for the first time since we came up here. I wondered why he never spoke but I said nothing about it. "'Hell I should thank you for firing your gun like that." he laughed. I said nothing. We finished gathering our supplies and were about to head back when a bang and a whooshing sound rang through the air. I heard a yell and looked up to see Hiei jerk his head back roughly and fall to ground. I stared with my eyes wide open.
"Oh shit, Hiei!" I shouted and ran to him. Thief reached out for me and grabbed my legs making me fall. I heard bullets shot right over my head.
"Are you fucking crazy!?" Thief shouted at me. "Hurry up, grab your gun and help us fight!"
"But Hiei...we can't just leave him!" I shouted. Thief shook his head at me.
"We have no choice, now hurry before they surround us!" He shouted at me before he ran with the other's to fight. I saw him holding his head down and throwing himself into the snow to fire his rifle. I turned and looked back at Hiei who laid motionless on the ground, I cringed at the sight and grew angry. I looked towards our enemy who had revealed themselves, I growled under my breath. Reaching into one of my pockets and pulled out a grenade, I pulled the ring off with my teeth and hurled the thing through the air. It soared over my comrades and exploded in the center of the enemy, scattering and dismembering them. I grabbed my rifle from off the ground and ran to join the other's.
"That was one hell of a fucking throw sir!" Gary one of the six humans said to me.
"Yea, nothing to it." I huffed at him aiming my gun and taking out three enemy soldiers with clear shots between the eyes.
"Really sir that was something else I swear it wa..." a bullet hit Gary at the base of his neck and came out his jugular before he could finish. Blood sprayed from his neck and landed in my eyes blinding me. I yelled and tried to rub the blood out but to no avail, I looked around desperately trying to make out what was in front me. I saw blurs of white and red, I was defenseless, at that moment I heard a man roaring and saw a fast shadow coming for me. I tried to find my rifle, but I couldn't feel it anywhere near me. The man came at me with what looked like a knife attached to the end of the barrel of his gun. Something heavy landed on me and forced to the ground, I heard shots and the man screaming before I saw a him lying beside me.
"What did I tell before?" a familiar voice said. "You gotta keep your eyes open, can't protect you bitches all the time." I looked behind me and saw Hiei standing over me carrying a rifle over his shoulder. I realized that he had saved me again. I grinned at him.
"You son of a bitch!" I shouted at him. "I thought you got shot in the fucking head!"
"I did you ass!" He shouted at me firing the gun and taking down a few soldiers. "That fucking helmet saved me, knocked me the hell out, but saved me!" I laughed.
"You lucks running thin sir! Better not do anything drastic again!"
"Shut up soldier you can't speak that way to me!" He shouted at me before going to Kurama to ask if any were wounded. Kurama stared at Hiei surprised that he was still alive, he seemed relived when he saw him.
About a half hour later the rest of our troops joined us and we were able to kill half of the enemy's solider's, many of them fled in retreat. When the last one was killed our troops cheered for their victory. I was excited that we actually made it with few casualties, I looked at the other's they were cheering as well except Kurama and Hiei. I stared curiously at them.
"Do you smell that?" Kurama asked Hiei. Hiei nodded.
"Yes I do, something bigger is coming." he said. I didn't really understand, cause for one I couldn't smell anything.
"What do you mean bigger?" I asked. Thief, Krew, and Kuwabara came around noticing the troubled looks on Hiei's and Kurama's face. "What do you smell?" Hiei squinted towards the forest wrinkling his nose and growling.
"Rotting flesh, a whole army of rotting flesh"
