Chapter 10

Frozen

You sit in your tree, star gazing, when you hear that familiar beeping noise coming from your pocket communicator, You open it almost looking forward with seeing the others, but just almost, not really though. "Go to temple, a mission is being given." The contraption says. You close it and head to Genkai's completely soaked.

"What? Why not look for a cave then show up wet all the time?... not that we don't appreciate it." Yusuke says getting smacked, in the head for it.

"hn. So what's going on?"

"We're not sure, we all have to go to spirit world." Kurama says nicely.

You growl, along with Hiei. Yukina offers you a towel but you decline. "hn."

"I don't want you to catch a cold, it's getting cold out." Yukina says softly.

"hn. Don't worry." Then you catch yourself. :She's worried?: Kuwabara laughs a little.

"Starting to get it? We worry about you and care." Kuwabara says.

You growl "hn, you all are just stupid." Hiei smirks 'finally, someone smart in the group other then the fox.'

"hn. Let's leaves already." Hiei says, getting impatient like always. Then the portal is made and they all go threw and appear in Koenma's office.

"What's wrong now binki breath?" Yusuke asks.

"I told you not to call me that!!" Koenma yells.

"Well!?" Hiei spats out, getting really impatient, obviously wanting to spill some blood freely.

"Ahem" Koenma clears his throat, "there is this demon, his name is Kanaye. ((Con-eye-ay)) He is an S class demon. I am not sure about much, but he is getting dangerous and he has attempted to go into Ningenkai too many times to count, he's also getting close to passing, if he can get threw then most of Japan is already in ruins. He isn't really too smart so I think you guys can handle him, he is just really strong, so strong he doesn't need wits to become an S class demon."

"So we kill the dude and we are done?" Kuwabara asks.

"Yes, you 'kill the dude' and then you are to go back to the portal which I have managed to get really close, and come back here to report your done, then you can go and do who knows what." Koenma states making the portal. "Got it?" everyone nods, "now go."

Everyone jumps threw the portal and see a cave. :So this is where the big guy lives.: Hiei leads them to Kanaye, going threw lots of tunnels. Before you all get too close you all go around the room, deciding best to surround the possibly numbskull of a demon.

((I'm sorry, I'm not really good with fights))

Hours later, the team finally finishes, much harder then had been expected. Koenma was wrong, the guy was almost a genius and you and Hiei got the worst of the fight, needing to get close to Kanaye. But you got the worst even with Hiei, some reason, Kanaye liked you the most and so you had to be the distraction while everyone else ganged up attacks and killed him.

"How are those wounds doing?" Kurama asks nicely, it gets hard to remember there is a beast living inside his body sometimes, well, most of the time.

"hn." You growl hiding all your bad wounds so that they don't force you to get healed again like two months ago when you and Hiei had a rivalry.

The rest of the way back you have to listen to Kuwabara and Yusuke talk about the fight, then Hiei insults Kuwabara and then there is a fight, which somewhat amused you. You get back to Koenma's and then Yusuke and Koenma starts fighting. Eventually you all get threw the portal back to Genkai's temple and look out side. Everyone's eyes are wide-eyed. There is about 5 feet of snow on the ground and it looks like just the beginning of a snow storm.

"Good luck driving home you guys." Yusuke says as he tightens the jacket around himself and runs outside.

"Yeah, good luck you guys!" Kuwabara runs out too, last thing you hear is something about his cat, but you can't tell cause Kurama starts talking.

"Hiei, I take it you're coming to my apartment?" Kurama asks, Hiei nods. "Good, we can get a good look of your wounds." He smiles when he sees Hiei glare at him, then Kurama looks at you. "Ami, you can come over if you want. I don't know where you stay the night, but I'm sure it will be warmer in my apartment, and you could maybe take a shower to wash off all that blood..."

"hn, I think I'll pass." You state.

"Well, you are always welcome, don't be scared to drop in." He says nicely and bowing a little, you look at him weirdly, then out the door your go. You take a detour to your tree, you always take detours, a different one every time, a habit that wont ever be broken.

Kurama and Hiei step outside. "You are worried about her fox, aren't you?" The red head sighs. "Do you like her?" Kurama looks down at him like he's crazy. "Hey, don't look at me like that. It's just you care for her and you are always watching out for her. She can take care of herself you know. She may be an onna, but she's like me. You don't have to worry about her. She'll come to you if she feels she has to." Hiei disappears. Kurama knew once he went to his apartment the window will be opened from his bedroom and Hiei will be searching his fridge.

Mean while, at your tree, your branch, you are still bleeding, your chest, upper arm several times and upper leg are the worst. :They wont stop bleeding: Chills run threw your body, you hold yourself for about an hour, wounds frozen, but you're shaking, a foot of snow on top of you. :This is hopeless... I have to go somewhere, now let's see, Kuwabara and Yusuke are a definite no, they will drive me insane. Hmmm... Genkai is old, she probably needs sleep for her ningen body. That only leaves Kurama who is with Hiei... I can't go there... Kurama... though... he is nothing like Yoko. But Yoko still lives inside of him.: You sigh, deciding to think this over a bit longer.

"Fox, go to bed. She's fine." Hiei says angrily.

"You are only saying that because I'm on the windowsill." Kurama sighs.

"Damn straight, now get outta my spot." Kurama only glares in return. "Fox... I'm serious, stop worrying about her. She's a demon."

Two hours later, you sneeze :Alright, there is no way I can make it threw this: You sneeze again. You get up brushing all 4 feet of snow off of yourself. You pull out your communicator and open it up. "Kurama's House." Surprised the comunicator understood, it showed a picture of the town, then the street, then the building, then a picture is shown of where his apartment is located in the building. You look away from the door with the weird markings on it. You shut the communicator, "So that window will be how I" sneeze, "get in." You fly to his apartment unnoticed. You knock on his window.

Hiei, who was sleeping against a wall sleep, wakes, along with Kurama in his bed. You knock on the glass again and sneeze, shaking to death. Kurama runs to the window and Hiei watches.

"uh... I um..." You just can't say that you need help, it's impossible.

"Come in Ami, you look dead." Kurama says shocked. You fly in enough for him to shut the window, locking it now. You shiver, holding your arms, shaking. Hiei gets up and walks up to you.

"She doesn't look good fox." He says.

Kurama glares at him, then retrieves a big blanket and wraps it around you. "Ami what happened?" You look at him and sneeze for a reply, your eyes get droopy. "of dear, you are whiter then the snow." He puts a hand on your cheek, you allow him, not caring at the moment. "you are colder then it too." Kurama looks at Hiei. "Get the bath started, put it as hot as it gets." Hiei nods and leaves the room you all are currently in. "Ami, we are gonna put you in the bath now you are gonna keep your cloths on so we can watch you. Stay here." Kurama goes to some tall box and shuffles threw a box he pulled out of the box. He brings clothes into the room Hiei was in and comes out not holding it anymore. "Come here, now, you have to trust us okay? We are gonna help you okay?" //she doesn't look good// -shh, I know, she probably has hypothermia and you are not helping me stay calm- You nod, and Kurama smiles.

He leads you into the bathroom and the tub is 1 third filled of steaming water. "I'm gonna take the blanket from you, and you are going to sit down in the tub. I'm going to get in with you to help steady you." He says as he sees you are now swaying a bit. You just nod once again, at this point you think nothing worse can be done.

So he takes the blanket off and you put your foot in the tub, then jump back and hold Kurama, arms around him, the hot water hurt you dearly, you shake more, even though the blanket didn't help at all. Kurama looks to Hiei sadly, then holds you. "shhhh." Even Hiei looks worried a little bit. He puts another leg at your knees and picks you up bridal style and gets in the tub slowly. You cling to him tighter when you hit the water. "shhhhhh shhhhhh it's okay." Somehow, the sweet noises he made soothed you, and slowly you made it into the tub completely.

"Good job fox." Hiei complements. "You did good."

You purr from the heat of the water, carfully thawing out your skin. This startled both Hiei and Kurama, but they shrug it off. Kurama rubs your arms. "You never healed yourself." Once he had started rubbing your arms and back the water quickly turned red from the blood that soaked your clothes at one point.

"I... I c-couldn't... th-there w-wasn't-t enough o-o-of energ-gy." You shiver your way threw the sentence. Kurama nods understanding.

"I wish you came sooner. It would have been great if you didn't have to come to me like this, all hurt and just barely living. You can come over when ever you want freely." He says kindly to you.

"s-s-s" you start

"It's okay, you don't have to finish." He says calmly.

A half hour later the water starts to cool down, and he lifts you up from the tub. "Ami, can you stand?" You try to move your foot and nod. "Okay, I'm gonna set you down, here is a towel" he points to a fluffly small blanket. "And here are some clothes that I think will fit you. Okay?" Hiei leaves as Kurama sets you down. You nod, and start right off taking your clothes off, Kurama quickly leaves and shuts the door behind him. Kurama getting redressed on the other side of the door.
