I'm so sorry for taking so long to update this story!!! Thank you to those who updated, love you!!!

Now on with the story!!!

============ Chapter 3 ============

It has been almost a week since Hiei's showing of ice powers, and since then the powers seemed to increase. The next morning after that discovery, Yusuke woke up to find it snowing inside his room, then he jumped when he felt Hiei, who was ice cold. Once Hiei woke up, the snowing stopped.

They waited for Kurama to show up before they went to go see Genkai. They walked over in a hurry because they were worried. Hiei was still ice cold even though the temperature outside was nearly ninety degrees.

Once they got there, Genkai sent Yusuke and Kurama home, and took Hiei into her care with the help of Boton and Yukina. She told them to come back on the day that they were supposed to come training. The only contact that Yusuke and Kurama had through to Hiei was through telephone.

Right now Hiei was walking back to Yusuke's house. Genkai aloud him to go back home for the rest of the week, but he had to go back in two days for training along with the others.

============

Yusuke and Kurama sat in Yusuke's bedroom, they were thinking of only one person, Hiei. Ever since they left him over with Genkai, they just couldn't stop thinking about him. When Yusuke told Kurama about the down pour of snow in his room and how cold Hiei was, that's when Kurama worried the most. Kurama was thinking that his only worries were going to be about Hiei's eyes, but Hiei was a fire demon, fire demons were not supposed to be cold in ninety degree temperatures.

The lights in Yusuke's room started to blink, breaking them out of their thoughts.

"Don't worry Yusuke, I'll get it." Kurama said.

"Thanks..." Yusuke said, then he gave Kurama a kiss.

Kurama headed for the door and looked through the peek hole. The person he saw brought a smile of pure happiness to his face. He quickly unlocked the door.

"Hiei!" He yelled happily, he grabbed Hiei into a hug, Hiei hugged back.

"Hey Kurama..." Hiei whispered.

Kurama let Hiei inside and closed the door. Hiei held Kurama's hand and headed for Yusuke's room.

Once Yusuke heard footsteps, he called out to Kurama.

"Who was that?" Yusuke asked without looking up.

"Me..." Hiei said.

Yusuke's head snapped up when he heard Hiei.

Hiei ran to him and hugged him.

"Missed you..." Hiei murmured.

Kurama walked up to both of his lovers, sat down beside Yusuke and let him put his arm around him.

"We missed you too..." Yusuke and Kurama said.

============

Everyone was headed for Genkai's temple. She told them to meet her there for training in a week, and the week passed. There were two new additions to the group; Touya and Jin, the both of them were going to stay in town for a while.

"Nice to see you boys." Boton greeted once the boys reached the temple.

"Hey Boton, where is Genkai?" Kuwabura asked.

"She'll be with you in a while; meanwhile you boys should start your training." Boton said.

The boys went into the forest and went into separate groups; Yusuke, Kurama, and Hiei, were in one group; in the other was Touya, Jin, and Kuwabura.

============

"Are you guys ready?" Yusuke asked.

Both Kurama and Hiei nodded.

Yusuke surprised them with his shotgun technique.

Kurama grabbed his rose out of his hair and formed his whip; Hiei did something unexpected.

"Ice sword..." Hiei said.

What happened was amazing. Hiei's body began to glow blue and he raised his hand in the air, then a blue stick formed in his hand forming into a sword. (This technique is similar to Kuwabura's 'Sprit Sword'.)

Yusuke and Kurama looked at Hiei in amazement.

Then, Hiei disappeared.

"Where did he go?" Yusuke asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Kurama asked.

Just then a piece of Kurama clothing ripped, he let out a yelp.

"Not funny Hiei!" Kurama hollered.

Hiei reappeared with a smirk on his face.

"Yes it was..." He murmured.

For a long time, the three of them trained non-stop until the late afternoon; then they went to go look for the others.

============

When they found the others, they found them about to go up the temple steps, helping a very beat-up Kuwabura up the steps.

"What did you two do to him?!" Kurama asked.

"We got a little carried away with the training." Jin said sheepishly.

"A little is not the word..." Kuwabura mumbled.

Just then Yukina came running down the steps.

"What did you boys do to him?!" She yelled as she ran down.

Once she got there, she used her powers to heal Kuwabura; he was up and about the minute she was done.

"You boys go back into the forest." Genkai said as she came down the steps.

"Why?!" Kuwabura asked.

"Because, there are other unknown demons in there and I want them out." Genkai said.

The boys went back in there before she did anything.

============

They walked through the forest until they heard voices; they followed the noises and hid behind trees.

These demons were wolf demons, they were in a pack of three. One had black fur, another had brown fur, and the last one had blond fur. The one with blond fur was the leader.

Hiei's eyes widened as he looked at these demons, these were the same one's that nearly killed him a few weeks ago.

The one with blond fur disappeared, then appeared behind the detectives.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" The boss said.

The other two wolves appeared behind him.

"Hey boss look, it's that little fire demon we beat up before, I told you he's still alive." The wolf with brown hair said.

"Then, let's kill him and his little friends too..." The boss said.

The wolves disappeared again.

Hiei disappeared too.

Two of the wolves reappeared and fought with the other five boys, the boss was still missing; Hiei was looking around, but he still couldn't find him.

"Looking for me..." A voice said from behind him.

Hiei didn't have a chance to turn around before he was knocked to the ground.

"Time for you to die!!!" The boss yelled, he was about to stab Hiei with his claws, when his hand froze. He quickly backed up away from Hiei and looked at his own arm. His arm was incased with a huge block of ice.

"W-w-what's happening?!!!" The boss yelled as he looked at his arm.

The other wolves stopped fighting and looked at their boss; they looked on in amazement and fear with the others.

Hiei's eyes started to glow blue, his eyes turning ice blue. He started to float up in the air and his body started to glow in a blue aura. Then, the skies turned grey and there was lightening and huge bangs of thunder, then it started to snow. A blizzard came out of nowhere. Everyone ran to grab onto something except Hiei and the boss.

Yusuke grabbed onto Kurama and pulled him over to a tree for a place to hold.

"Yusuke, what about Hiei?!" Kurama yelled through the noise of the wind.

"He's controlling this; I think he has lost his mind!!!" Yusuke yelled.

The boss wolf tried to move, but he couldn't. Hiei's powers were freezing over the demon, the wolf's feet were frozen to the ground and the rest of his body was freezing over as well.

"Please, please, spare me!!!" The demon pleaded.

Hiei didn't hear him, instead his powers grew. The wind blew stronger, the snow fell harder, the sky grew darker, and the sounds of lighting and thunder grew louder.

The wolf demon let out a bloodcurdling scream as the ice freezing his body finished covering him. Everyone looked on in horror.

Yusuke and Kurama knew exactly what Hiei was going to do next.

"Hiei, don't do it!!!" Yusuke and Kurama yelled as loud as they could.

But Hiei didn't hear them, instead his eyes glowed brighter and the frozen wolf demon shattered like glass.

After this it stopped snowing, the winds died down, the sun shined through the dark clouds, and Hiei floated back down to the ground, but his eyes were still glowing and he didn't seem to notice anything around him.

The other wolf demons ran off.

The others ran over to Hiei.

"Hiei, Hiei, hey snap out of it!!!" Yusuke yelled holding onto Hiei's shoulders shaking him. After a few minutes of that, Kurama did the only thing he could think work at the moment.

He raised his hand in the air and let it fly back down slapping Hiei.

Hiei finally snapped out of it, his eyes stopped glowing and changed back to the crystal color, then he put his hand on his cheek and looked at Kurama.

"What happened?" He asked.

He looked onto the ground and saw shards of something, then he remembered everything, and ran.

"Hiei, Hiei, please come back!!!" Kurama yelled.

Yusuke and Kurama ran after Hiei, leaving the others behind.

============

Yusuke and Kurama found Hiei sitting at the edge of a lake, they slowly walked over to him, but Hiei heard their footsteps.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" Hiei snapped.

Yusuke and Kurama jumped slightly, but continued to walk over to their lover.

When they touched Hiei, he dropped the temperature of his body and burned the both of them.

"Ouch, why did you do that to us?!" Kurama yelled.

"I told you two not to touch me!" Hiei snarled, then he got up and walked away from them.

They followed.

"Stop following me!" Hiei said.

They didn't listen, they kept following.

"Hiei, what's wrong?!" Kurama asked.

Hiei whirled around.

"I don't know what's wrong!!!" Hiei yelled. "I got these new powers that I barely understand, I killed someone and somehow, someway, I feel bad about doing it!!!"

Hiei was on the verge of tears, but he didn't show it.

"Well, you're only a halfling demon, and it's about time you feel some emotion!!!" Kurama yelled, then he clasped his hand over his mouth, immediately regretting what he said.

"So that's what you think of me..." Hiei said, then he turned and ran away at top speed.

"Hiei, come back, please, I'm sorry!!!" Kurama yelled.

"We can still find him." Yusuke said as he started to run, but Kurama stopped him.

"Yusuke look..." Kurama whispered as he dropped to his knees, tears rushing down his cheeks.

Yusuke looked onto the ground and his eyes widened.

The both of them were looking at black tear gems.

============

Hiei ran deep into the forest until he found a cave. He ran in and collapsed onto the floor deep with in the cave. His body was beyond freezing, he felt sick, weak, scared, and lonely. He wanted to be in Yusuke and Kurama's arms, where he could be safe and warm. Instead he was in a cave where he felt like he was freezing to death.

He was angry at himself for starting that fight with his lovers, he didn't mean to start one, he was just scared. He had just gotten these powers and he thought he lost his fire powers.

He laid there for a few minutes then it started to snow again, he sobbed for Yusuke and Kurama to come and find him soon. He laid there for a few more minutes before he cried himself into a coma.

His body glowed in that blue aura again and a coffin formed around him. The coffin was clear, made out of crystal ice, with huge jagged edges, but was a wonderful sight. His clothing changed into a beautiful white robe, the headband he was wearing disappeared and the third eye disappeared also.

The cave took on a different form; it was demolished and was replaced with a castle. The castle was beautiful; it stood tall, its location being hidden by the clouds around it. Everything was perfect; there was a spiral staircase that led to the hall where the room Hiei laid asleep in, the halls had torches of blue flames leading the way to the room, Hiei lay asleep waiting for the time when his lovers and friends would find him.

His powers expanded out of his control, it began to snow outside the cave also. Beyond the snow were creatures and illusions, soon to be discovered.

To be continued...

============

This chapter is a little longer than the others as you might have notice.

Will someone find him?

Or will poor Hiei be trapped within his powers for ever?

Send me reviews to find out!!!

Oh yeah, the coffin I had for my idea was a design I saw on the show Sailor Moon. If you watched some of the episodes where everyone was discovering about Rini's mother, that's the coffin I had in mind.
