The snowstorm was so bad that the Reikai Tantei, having been returning from a mission on foot, had been split up. Yusuke and Kuwabara had long been separated from Hiei and Kurama. Even Reikai's communications were down.
Looking back over his shoulder in an annoyed way, Hiei scowled at Kurama, who had stopped a few feet back and was now kneeling in the snow, red coat billowing around him in the wind.
"Why did you stop? Are you frozen already?"
"No. I found someone."
"Found someone?"
"A girl, she must have collapsed in the storm."
"Leave her, Kurama, she's none of our business." Much to Hiei's displeasure, Kurama picked up the girl and continued walking.
"I'm going to bring her with us. She may need medical attention." Hiei rolled his eyes and continued walking, head bowed against the fierce wind.

A few hours later, the snow showed no signs of stopping and they were both too tired to carry on any further. Shouting over the wind, Kurama spoke.
"Maybe we should find a place to rest for the night."
"I know. There's a cave up here. We can rest there."
The cave in question was not very big. Hiei had a fire going in the center in a matter of minutes, and Kurama gently laid the girl down on his coat. She did not look very healthy at the moment.
"Do you think she has hypothermia?" he asked.
"I don't know, but if she does, I won't be the one to administer the proper treatment." He did, however, take off the large black coat he was wearing over his regular clothes and toss it to Kurama, who sighed.
'I hope she doesn't slap me when she wakes up,' thought Kurama as he lay on his side, with the still unconscious and now definitely hypothermic girl nestled snugly beside him, dressed only in her underwear (hentais: yes, "underwear" includes bra). He could practically hear the jeers of Yusuke, upon hearing that he had gotten the chance to sleep next to a very beautiful girl, both of them clad only in their underwear.
She was indeed beautiful, but Kurama didn't get the feeling that he would like her personality very much when she woke up and found a strange man sleeping with his arm around her middle.
Hiei tried to go to sleep propped up against the cave wall, but thoughts of the girl Kurama had found kept sneaking into his mind. He had seen her face, and she was downright gorgeous. Her face was near-perfect and her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a glossy waterfall. While she was undeniably beautiful, he had no time or need to interact with a female human. [Notice I never said want.]
[Was gonna end the chapter here, but I'm too lazy to upload twice in a week...]
"Ahhhhh!" Had one been able to hear anything through the still-raging snowstorm, you would have heard a shrill shriek and a loud slapping noise. Hiei was jerked out of sleep and nearly fell over; Kurama backed away and practically fell in the now significantly burned-down fire. The girl shrieked again, "Pervert!" and shrank back against the wall, holding the coat that she and Kurama had been sleeping under up to her chest.
"How did I know that would happen?" Kurama groaned, holding a hand to his cheek, where there was now a red hand-shaped mark. Hiei snorted.
"Who—why—where—WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?" yelled the girl. Kurama, in an attempt to recover some of his badly mangled reputation, tried to speak before he was cut off again.
"Who are you people? Why were—you—in bed with me? Dear God, I've been raped—"
"Would you shut up?! Kurama saved you from dying of hypothermia, baka ningen!" shouted Hiei.
"Oh." Hiei rolled his eyes and poked up the fire.

About an hour later, Kurama and the girl were sorted out between each other, had their clothes back on, and were sitting a respectable distance apart from each other.
"So you competed in the Dark Tournament? What was it like?"
"First of all, it puzzles me how a human such as yourself even knows of the Dark Tournament, but yes, our team won the Dark Tournament," said Hiei, with a mix of irritation and curiosity in his voice.
"What about a human such as *your*self?' she asked. Kurama sighed and caught Hiei by the collar as he leapt at the girl, Usagi [corny name, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else!].
"I am NOT a human! I am a fire apparition from Makai!"
"Then what about you, Kurama? You look human enough to me, but so did he."
"Technically, I'm a kitsune, but I've been forced to take on the form of a human body, Shuuichi Minamino. Five hundred years ago, I was born as Youko Kurama."
"THE Youko? I thought he was dead!"
"Okay, Usagi. Maybe you should tell us exactly how you know about demons and Makai and Kurama," said Hiei, snatching the back of his shirt away from Kurama and sitting back down.
[Cliffy-ish, I guess...sorry about the name, I couldn't think of anything, so I went with Usagi, which means rabbit. And there you have it. As I was typing the part where Hiei gets mad that she calls him a human, I suggested having someone say something about "Yeah, you're a fire apparition who lost all his youki..." but I didn't want him to kill anyone this early in the story. And I know it looks like there's no pairing yet, but I swear on my copy of Ruroken #2 that it's Hiei/Usagi.
Hiei: Damn good for you that you didn't put that bit about my youki, baka ningen.
Kurama: Be nice, Hiei.
Hiei: Shut up, Kurama, you're the one who got to sleep with he pretty girl.
Usagi: So you think I'm pretty?
Hiei: No, I...um...
Kurama: Hiei, I didn't sleep with her. I slept next to her.
Usagi: And it was actually kind of nice.
Hiei: So you would rather sleep wit—next to him, instead of me?
Usagi: So you DO like me!
Hiei: Just end the chapter! This is cruel and unusual punishment!
