"Breakfast will be served in ten minutes, come to the outdoor cafeteria and get in line, come while it's HOT!" happily voiced counselor Yoshihiro over the intercom.

Kurama sat up on his bed rubbing his eyes to wake himself. He scratched his messy bed hair and yawned, "Ahhh! This is one of the most uncomfortable bed I've slept in."

"What are you talking about, these beds are just fine, really high quality!" Kuwabara said putting on his shoes.

Yusuke opened the door and walking into the cabin. "Man, was that a great night!" voiced the black haired teen.

"Where were you last night?" asked Kuwabara.

"Like I said, I was with Keiko." pronounced Yusuke grabbing his duffle bag to grab a new shirt.

"So like what did you do?" asked Kuwabara wondering.

"Hey a man never tells his friends about what goes on with his girlfriend and him.... ALL RIGHT, well we found a great spot where we could see the stars clearly and then we laid a blanket on the ground and laid down. We just looked up at the stars and talked all night long." smiled Yusuke. Yusuke slipped into a faded blue shirt and put his bag against the wall again. He went to the door and said," You heard the man, it's food time!"

Kuwabara followed him and Ash had already left before Kuwabara, Kurama or Hiei woke up. Hiei was up too; of course before everyone woke up, he just laid on his bed staring at his hand that Kurama had fixed. Kurama climbed down the ladder to the ground. "It is a little chilly wouldn't you say Hiei?" asked Kurama. "Good morning, how did you sleep?" asked Kurama as he took some clothing out of his bag to put on.

Hiei turned his head to see Kurama only in his boxers and a shirt. Kurama sat on the bunk next to his and Hiei's to put his pants on. Hiei turned his head away from Kurama and back on his hand. "Yeah... Morning." replied Hiei. Hiei thought it was inappropriate if he watched Kurama dress, so he looked away but he wanted too. Hiei always felt something for Kurama, even when they first met but he couldn't say a thing. He loved being around Kurama even if it was for one second; he found himself getting a little excited over the thought of Kurama getting dressed right in front of him.

"Hiei, I didn't want to tell you earlier, but it seems like a good time," Kurama said with his head in his bag looking for something, "I bought you a shirt to wear." Kurama finally found it under all the other shirts and handed it to Hiei putting it on his belly.

"Why did you buy me this thing?" asked Hiei holding it with two fingers as if it were something horrible and disgusting.

"Because Hiei, I consider you a... very close friend." Kurama said smiling.

"Well don't! Friends only make things worse, you have to wait on them, worry about them, have them rely on you, it's a terrible concept that humans created." voiced Hiei.

"Oh, so that is how you feel about it?" asked Kurama.

Kuwabara ran over to the cabin and planted his face right on the screen door for fun. His face was a little mashed since he kept it there and he seemed really excited. He obviously interrupted a private conversation between Hiei and Kurama but he didn't notice and he said, "Hurry out guys, their giving out FREE pancakes!" Kuwabara released his hold on the door and ran away back over to Yusuke and Keiko.

"Hn." grunted Hiei standing up to walk out of the cabin and eat breakfast.

"I would like you to consider me a friend Hiei, we've been through a lot, I thought..."

"Well you thought wrong!" Hiei yelled. He thought to himself that Kurama was so sweet but why did he push away the only person he cared about when they started to talk about these things? He was grateful that Kurama bought him a gift but he thought this was for the best.

"Please, at least wear the gift I got for you!" pleaded Kurama running over to Hiei holding the shirt. It meant a lot to him that Hiei would like his gift. He put his hands on Hiei's shoulders holding him back away from the door. He moved in closer and closer to Hiei's face. A kiss on his lips, Kurama wanted so bad but Hiei pushed him out of the way and walked outside. Kurama fell to the ground and sat there. He crawled over to their bunk, shirt in hand and cried into it.

"There you are, you can cut in line if you want." Yusuke said seeing Hiei walk over to them.

"He's not cutting in front of me! He isn't!" yelled Kuwabara. They were in the middle of the vast line of children, one by one making their selection of pancakes or waffles. Hiei walked over in front of Yusuke and Keiko and stepped in line. The kids all behind him all stopped talking when they saw Hiei, some of them walked over to him and whispered sorry to him about his parents and friends and others just gave more sad looks when they looked at Hiei. They didn't care if he cut in line, it was the least they could do for a traumatized kid.

Kurama walked outside and saw the group all together. His cheeks were red and dry from crying. His eyes were a little teary but he wiped them away. He walked to the end of the long line of children and stood there waiting for the line to get shorter.

It was an hour later and Kurama was still in line, exactly at the very end of the line. He tapped the ground with his foot every so often in annoyance. He could see kids taking their sweet ass time with figuring out whether they wanted pancakes or waffles. They'd grab a pancake and then look at the waffles, put the pancake down and grab the waffle. He thought to himself that at least they weren't touching it with their bare hands; they had tongs in their hands grabbing and picking at the food. Then, he noticed a little boy almost in slow motion reaching for the pancakes and then finally touching them with his dirty hands. He wanted to scream at the kid. Even all the other kids gasped or put their hands over their mouths when he touched the pancakes as if they were CDs and he was trying to make his selection of which CD is better than the other to buy.

It took another half hour for Kurama to make it near the table with trays, forks, spoons and napkins. As he reached the food stand, all that was left were all the pancakes that were touched, one even had a bite mark on it. He cringed as he held the food tray in his hands. He grabbed the tong and poked at the food as if it were alive.

"Over here!" yelled Keiko, waving her hand for Kurama to come over to their table. He walked over and grabbed a bottle of water instead of a small thing of milk.

"We were wondering what happened to you." Kuwabara said after he put his orange juice down. "Didn't you see us?" he asked before sucking the rest of his beverage into his mouth.

"No I didn't, I looked for you but I just thought I'd stand in line." lied Kurama in a believable tone. He looked at Hiei who was trying to cut his pancake with a plastic knife. He was applying too much pressure on the knife and it broke slapping him on the forehead.

"WE got you a plate of food Kurama, Yusuke helped me." Keiko said pushing the tray closer to Kurama. Kurama was holding his plate still but threw it behind him hitting a camp counselor in the back of the head. The counselor fell to the ground unconscious.

"Thanks Yusuke. Thanks Keiko, I was afraid I was going to eat dirty pancakes." Kurama sighed in relief.

"Oh don't worry, we're all friends here, we should help each other! It might be a little cold now though." Keiko voiced.

"Friends..." whispered Kurama. He sat down next to Kuwabara and started to eat the food Yusuke and Keiko got for him.

After breakfast, counselors surrounded the cafeteria, all equipped with clipboards. Each one was finding different summer campers and putting them into groups. One of the counselors from the night before at the stage came by the table that the five were sitting at. He pointed at Kurama and Hiei to walk over to another table were six other kids sat. He then looked around at all the groups that were forming and then told Yusuke, Keiko and Kuwabara to go over to the other side of the cafeteria were five children sat.

Yusuke, Keiko and Kuwabara all waved at Kurama and Hiei good-bye and Kurama did the same. Hiei and Kurama didn't talk to each other; they just stayed silent and looked the other way. All the kids started talking to Hiei about how sorry they were to hear about his parents and friends.

"Alright kids, you are going to be in a group together," started counselor Yoshihiro, "As a group the first thing you'll be able to do is pick your team name, and from now on you'll be a group so when you do group activities you'll stay together. So chose you name wisely, I'll be back in a few minutes to announce your names to everyone."

"Well maybe... let's start with our names, Jesus doesn't want us to be strangers, lets hold hands and pray." spoke a kid in their group. The six kids in Kurama and Hiei's group grabbed hands and three children grabbed Hiei and Kurama's hands to form a circle. The same kid who suggested the idea sat between Kurama and Hiei. He grabbed both of their hands and started to pray loudly.

When that was finished, all the kids began to tell them each other their names. Ryan, Orville, Ayumi, Crim, Beth and Fredward were all the other kids names. Kurama and Hiei were not in the mood to talk, but the kids stared at them and asked what Kurama's name was. They already knew Hiei's name so they left him alone. Finally Kurama told them his name after a few moments of akward staring.

"I like totally think, like oh my god, like we'll call like our team name like Fairies wings!" cried Beth.

"What about Team Chef Boyardee?" called out Orville.

"Okay, this might sound a little funny but what about Team Mighty Christians?" asked Ryan.

"Team Orbit, FABULOUS makes your breath feel clean, NO matter what!" said Crim.

"Hmmm... Team BiggleBoggleBoop!" screamed Fredward.

"Team Hikaru!" sang Ayumi.

Kurama and Hiei stayed quiet so the other kids chose to do a vote of which name they were going to choose. Counselors were already giving the names of other teams like Team Alpo, Team Fried Rice, Team Philips, and Team Coin Jar to name a few of the groups that were assembled. A counselor walked over to Yusuke's group and announced that their team's name was Team Q-Tip! Finally after forty or so teams, a counselor walked up to Hiei and Kurama's team. "This is Team Chef Boyardee!" yelled the staff member at the top of his lungs.

A counselor grabbed each group and took them to different places. Yusuke, Keiko and Kuwabara's group went hiking. Kurama and Hiei's group went to the arts and crafts area to express themselves artistically and intellectually.

"Alright kids, I'm going to leave you here, your assigned counselor is running a little late, but she'll be here soon." told counselor Gates.

Everyone looked around at the crafts that were on the three wooden tables. Kurama was looking at the painting area and Hiei was poking at the clay block that was wrapped in plastic. A noise came from behind and it was their counselor. Kurama took a quick glance but didn't see the face of the person. Hiei was too interested in the clay.

Creeping up on Hiei, the counselor started to put her hands up in the air to scare Hiei. Hiei didn't notice and had punched through the clay leaving a huge hole through the middle. "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!" whispered the counselor. Hiei was trying to put the clay back together so that he wouldn't get caught.

"Hn." scolded Hiei at the clay.

"Red rum, red rum!" whispered the counselor a little louder. The other children noticed what the counselor was doing and started to giggle and laugh. Firmly putting her hands on Hiei's shoulders she screamed, "OOGA BOOGA WOOGA, ROAR I SCARE YOU!"

Hiei turned around and dully looked at the woman. He noticed who it was and gave her the death stare. Should he add her on his death list... oh yeah! He just looked at her and walked away, otherwise he would of told her off with his telepathy. He was still abiding by Kurama's wishes.

The counselor walked up behind Kurama to try and scare him too. She walked over to him stuck her tongue out and put her thumbs on her eyebrows pulling up her eyes meanwhile her fingers were waving in the sky. "Hello Boton!" Kurama said turning around right as she tried scaring him.

"AHHHHHH!!!" screamed Boton falling to the ground.

"Why are you here?" asked Kurama.

"Well... I can't really tell you." Boton insisted.

"Why not?" asked Kurama.

"TELL HIM OR DIE A PAINFUL DEATH OF TORTURE WITH A TOOTHPICK!" yelled Hiei in Boton's mind.

"WELL, well, I mean Koenma sent me here just in case there was any reason he needed you guys. He told me to call you guys if he really needed you with a case Plus he told me to watch over you guys." Boton said in a fast pace.

"Alright, so you're posing as a counselor." whispered Kurama.

"Yeah, but that's our secret." Boton whispered back. "Alright children, time for crafts and art."

On the ground lay eight wooden stumps to sit on, so Team Chef Boyardee sat in all the seats. Boton, Counselor Boton took charge and told them that they were going to be working on clay statues, painting, and wood crafts. They all started on clay sculptures and Boton opened the bags, cut blocks of clay for everyone and gave it to them. She told them to make something of most importance to them. Well make it symbolic and yes, Boton had never touched clay until then or taught a class for it.

It started just fine, everyone sitting down, forming their clay into what ever they had imagined. Kurama sat there, he didn't know what to make. Hiei on the other hand grabbed more and more clay and was actually making a statue of something. Kurama looked at him, he didn't not like talking to Hiei or being near him. He didn't like being mad at him. So he thought of something he could make with his clay. He didn't have enough so he cut a little bit more off of the huge chunk of it and took it away. He started to form an oval shape with his clay.

Boton walked back and fourth observing each kid and demon with what they were making and helping them if they needed help. Hiei's clay became as high as his waist. Kurama's clay ended up becoming a mask. He grabbed a pen from Boton and began to mark his mask. He made a eye on the forehead of the mask to symbolize his one and only Hiei.

On the other hand, Hiei was working up and down on his creation. It was long, big, had a bulb on top of the stick like figure. After he added a few more pieces of clay to the top of the sculpture, he was done.

Boton looked shocked at Hiei's creation and slide over to him. She put her hand over her mouth and whispered in Hiei's ear, "What is it? It looks like a penis thing."

"It's a rose dimwit!" grunted Hiei looking over at Kurama who was still putting the finishing touches on his mask.

"Oh I guess I can see it," Boton said walking around it back and fourth, "Now it looks like a..."

"Finish that sentence and I'll stab you with it." Hiei growled.

"Alright class, time to put those hands of yours down and clean them off by the river." Boton said taking the kids over to the river to clean their hands. "Once we're done, we'll work on wood crafts."

"Like what are we going to like do Miss. Counselor, like tell us, okay." stated Beth.

"Birdhouses, just be careful not to chop your little hands off with the saw." Boton said.

"COOL! I wanna see a bloody hand!" yelled Orville.

"That is just not right Orville." said Ayumi letting her hands wave through the flowing water.

"Kid, don't be in a rush to see a body part get cut off, understand." Boton replied.

"Alright Miss. Counselor lady ma'am. But I sure can't wait now to see it happen, do you think Jesus will grant me my whish to see it?" asked Orville.

"Jesus would never allow that!" screamed Ryan. "He loves even the most useless body parts that you have!"

"Why do you have a huge bump on your head Miss. Counselor?" asked Fredward.

"Well I was standing in the cafeteria earlier at breakfast time and this table tray and full water bottle hit my head." Boton murmured rubbing the bump on her head. Kurama's eyes became wide and he whistled over to Hiei to wash his hands.

They returned to the crafts tables and they started to work on their birdhouses. They put their protective goggles on, then listened to Boton explain how dangerous the saw supposedly was and how it could harm you physically. Kurama worked fast on his birdhouse to finish early. Hiei walked over to Kurama and stood by him to make his birdhouse.

Kurama smiled at Hiei and Hiei looked at Kurama with a little more affectionate than he ever did with anyone. Hiei made his wooden block into a circle and cut a hole in it enough to forcibly shove a bird in it, killing it instantly. Kurama glued all the pieces of wood together to make his birdhouse and then drilled a hole in the front big enough for any bird to fit in. He even added a little perch for the birds on his birdhouse for were the birdseeds would go. After everyone was done Boton moved them to the painting stations.

An hour went by, the sounds of nature only making the noise; everyone was quiet and concentrating on their paintings. Some of the children were painting their surroundings while a couple of the kids painted what they thought Jesus really looked like. One of the children painted a bag of his favorite snack, Hello Panda. Hiei painted the whole canvas black and distortedly painted a rose on purpose so no one would be able to know he was painting it for Kurama. Kurama painted a garden of red roses from his house but straight in the middle of the painting, he painted Hiei's jagan eye, only big enough to see but not notice. He even outlined the whole painting in black fire to represent Hiei. The only thing that Kurama and Hiei had on their paintings that each one put on their own was a heart. Hiei painted a real heart on the left top corner of his painting to show that he loved Kurama. Kurama just painted the shape of a heart on his painting on the right side to show his love for Hiei.

"Well guys, looks like we're all done. Doesn't everyone feel just chipper!" Boton said examining each kids painting.

"Yeah!" replied the six children

"Good, I'm glad to hear that, what about you Hiei and Kurama?" asked Boton. All the children turned to look at Hiei and Kurama to see it they were just as 'chipper' as they were.

"I feel much better now." Kurama said looking at Hiei smiling.

"What he said." grunted Hiei crossing his arms.

"Alright, lets pack things up alright. It's lunch time, and after that, I was told that you'll get some free time to hang out and then we'll continue with activities!" said Boton throwing all the craft supplies in the trash can.
