It was cold, and wet. Nara opened her eyes and saw nothing but white above her.
"Snow?" she asked herself and then remembered what had happened. Slowly she dug her way out and looked around her. She saw Hiei in a tree, a shivering Hotaru beside him.
"You could've helped everyone else out," Nara yelled at Hiei.
"I was lucky to of found her, everyone else is buried all over the place I can't save everyone." Nara was going to say something else but Kurama popped out of the snow next.
"We need to find Yusuke and Kuwabara," Kurama said standing up, "Open wounds and snow don't mix well." Nara shot up from her spot in the snow and began to dig like a maniac. Hiei pointed to a spot in the snow and Nara ran to dig there. Underneath piles of snow was Yusuke, Kurama found Kuwabara in another spot, both were unconscious.
"We need to get back to Koenma's now!" Nara frantically said. Her brother was pale and shivering, and could possibly have hypothermia.
"Hiei do you still have the compact?" Kurama asked. Hiei shook his head and Nara looked desperately at Kurama.
"What can we do?"
"Lets get to a more open area and try to make a fire, Koenma should send out a search party eventually since we never came through with the girls."
Somehow they managed to get to an area that wasn't demolished by the avalanche and made a fire. Yusuke and Kuwabara were still unconscious and Hotaru was still shivering. The wet snow on their jackets melted and made them even colder. Kurama added more sticks and Hotaru tried to dry herself off so she could use her powers and make a better fire.
Nara sat next to her brother and tried to think of what to do. She put two fingers on his neck and counted for about a minuet.
"This isn't good," Nara said a worried look on her face.
"What?" Kurama asked coming to sit next to her.
"His heart rate is slowing down, he has hypothermia, meaning his blood is slowly turning to ice. That's why he hasn't woken up yet," Nara said quietly, remembering the health information that was shoved into her head over the summer. She took off her jacket and put it around Yusuke.
"And I can't do a damn thing." Kurama looked at her and saw she looked like she was going to cry.
"He helps me all the time, even if it's just a little thing, he protects me even if I don't need protecting, and when he needs me most I can't do a thing. All I'm able to do is sit and watch the one I care about slowly die." Kurama's eyes widened and Hiei and Hotaru looked over at her.
"Is it really that bad?" Kurama asked looking at Yusuke examining him. Nara nodded.
"His open wound made it easier for the snow to cause his blood to freeze, Kuwabara won't die as fast and by then Koenma will have found us. Yusuke on the other hand…" she drifted off into silence. Kurama looked at Hiei and Hotaru who just stared at the back of Nara's head. Then Hiei spoke up.
"So you're just going to let him die? Humans…"
"No, I'm trying to save him by warming him up, but lets face it Hiei I don't have the power to do anything," she put her hand on her brothers forehead and a strange tingling sensation went through her whole body. She felt warm and watched in amazement as Yusuke opened his eyes.
"What time is it?" he asked yawning and stretching. Nara looked and him in complete shock.
"How the hell are you awake?" she yelled.
"Huh?"
"Your wounds," Nara said examining the spot where they had been, "They're gone?" Yusuke looked even more confused and Kurama cut in.
"You were dying Yusuke, you had hypothermia and a gash in your side."
"Oh yeah I remember something like that!" Yusuke said brightly and looked at Nara.
"So you're really ok?" she asked. Yusuke nodded and Nara tackled him to the ground in a death hug.
"But I still don't get how he's ok," Kurama said puzzled, Hiei smirked.
"And what do you find so damn amusing?" Hotaru asked now completely dry and making a warmer fire.
"Nara," was all he said and Hotaru's eyes widened in realization.
"Hey Nara put your hand on Kuwabara's head real quick," Hotaru said getting up and pulling Nara to Kuwabara.
"Huh, why?"
"I have a theory I want to test out."
Nara did as she was told and again the same feeling went through her entire body and Kuwabara opened his eyes.
"Breakfast ready?" he asked drowsily. Nara looked at her hands in amazement.
"No way," she said looking at Hotaru who grinned, "But how I'm only human?"
"Maybe you were able to use the spirit wave like Genkai without realizing it," Yusuke suggested. Nara shrugged and figured that was it and turned to see a portal open and people filling out.
"Oh good we found you," a man said, "We were sent by Koenma, come on he's waiting."
One by one they went through the portal and into Koenma's office. They took a seat in a chair in front of his desk.
"So what happened?" the toddler asked and one by one they gave their accounts on what had happened.
"And then Nara healed me and I woke up!" Yusuke said smiling. Koenma looked at Nara.
"Really, and how did you manage that?"
"I have no idea, Yusuke said that I might have used the spirit wave without realizing it."
"I see, well that's all I need to know for now you can go home." They left Koenma in his office, George the ogre standing next to him.
"Do you really think she used the spirit wave sir?"
"No I don't, it took Genkai years to master it and Yusuke also had to do extensive training for it. I don't think she could have done such an advance technique with such little training. I'll have to look into this matter, something doesn't seem to fit."
