Chapter 4
============
It has been four days since Yusuke and Kurama saw Hiei. When they tried to go after Hiei before, they decided that he needed some time to himself; they thought that they would see him in a few hours or the next morning; all that time went by and no sign of Hiei. They started to sense that Hiei was trouble, but Genkai and Koenma held them back, they wanted to wait a little more before they would try to find Hiei.
Yusuke and Kurama tried to sneak off a few times, but were stopped by Koenma or Genkai when they were found. The only thing the two lovers could do for four days was wait and see if Hiei would return, but something deep inside of told them that Hiei was in trouble and needed their help.
Koenma finally agreed to let them find Hiei; Genkai will be joining them in the search.
Right now, Yusuke and Kurama were preparing for the search. They were told to get a few things because they would be searching in the forest for probably a few days.
"Yusuke, do you think we'll find Hiei?" Kurama asked in a quiet voice.
"I know we'll find him." Yusuke said as he walked over to Kurama, he wrapped his arms around his waist.
"I hope you're right, because I don't know what we can do to find him..." Kurama whispered.
"We'll know what to do once we're there." Yusuke said.
Yusuke and Kurama looked into each other's eyes and kissed.
============
Everyone met at the temple, they were a little nervous; they didn't know what they would find.
Before they were to go into the forest, they were to have a meeting.
"Hello everyone..." Koenma said once he entered.
Everyone said hellos, except Yusuke and Kurama who glared daggers at him. Koenma grew a little more nervous; he feared that the two detectives would be mad at him. They weren't mad at Genkai, because she had no choice but to follow orders; if she didn't keep them from getting into the forest, she would spend the rest of her days in a sprit world prison.
During the meeting, Genkai kept an eye on the two lovers, and she felt a tinge of guilt as she looked at them, fully knowing one of them was missing and in trouble. She didn't know what happened to Hiei or why he was missing. At points she wanted to go into the forest herself and see if she could find the missing teen; but with Boton and Yukina keeping an eye on her, it was near impossible.
The meeting went on for about an hour, then Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabura, Genkai, Touya, and Jin headed out. Boton and Yukina were to keep an eye on the temple, and Koenma was to keep an eye on the incoming paper work he had back at his office.
============
The six searchers walked through the forest for about three hours now, so far, no sign of Hiei. But something strange was happening, the further they went into the forest, the colder it got. The sun was shinning in through the trees and it was summer, but it continued to get colder. This gave Genkai an idea.
"Since Hiei is developing ice powers, we should follow the cold." Genkai said.
Everyone agreed and went on.
============
Everyone walked until the beginning of sunset. The weather had dropped a lot and jackets were needed so some of the searchers could keep warm. They set up camp and settled in for the time being.
"Do you think Hiei's along this path?" Kuwabura asked.
"He's along this path, I can feel it." Kurama said.
Yusuke started a fire for him and the others that needed it.
Kurama dug into the bag he had brought with him and pulled out a few cans of food
Everyone ate in peace and watched the sunset, then everyone went to sleep because of the day they had ahead of them.
============
Morning came quickly and everyone packed up camp.
"Does anyone know what time it is?" Kuwabura asked while yarning.
"It's about six in the morning." Genkai said while looking at the rising sun. "Lets go, we can cover more ground if we hurry."
The boys followed the woman for a while, until they reached an unbelievable sight.
"How is this possible?" Kurama asked as he looked ahead of him.
"When this happens, an ice demon looses control of there power..." Touya said as he looked ahead.
What everyone was looking at was falling snow everywhere. They looked behind them and everything was what it was supposed to look like for the summer season, they looked in front of them and saw that absolutely everything was covered in snow.
"Should we go on?" Jin asked.
"We have to..." Kurama whispered.
Yusuke held onto his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.
The group walked on into the snow, not knowing what to expect.
To be continued...
============
Just kidding...
============
They all walked for probably an hour before they sensed something around them.
"Boys get ready." Genkai said.
The boys pulled out their weapons and looked around, ready for everything.
Then everyone heard growling.
They looked around and saw white foxes and tigers around them, each of the animals with Hiei's eyes.
Without warning the animals attack.
The group used weak attacks so they wouldn't use up so much of their energy in one battle, but to their surprise, the animals melted when their attacks touched them, they saw that the animals were made of snow, but to their dismay the animals came back stronger.
"We have to run!" Kurama yelled as he slashed through another snow animal.
The group made their way through the snow animals and made it through to another part of the forest.
"Do you think we're close to finding Hiei?" Touya asked.
"We hope so..." Yusuke said.
Little did they know; this journey was just beginning.
============
It has been a few hours since the attack of the snow animals and it just got harder to get around. The snow was reaching up to their knees and the wind blew harder.
"We need to find shelter!!!" Jin yelled through the wind.
"Will that place do?!!!" Kuwabura yelled as he pointed to something up ahead.
Everyone else followed the finger and saw a little house.
"I hope that's not a hallucination!!!" Kurama yelled.
Everyone made their way through the snow and got to the house and to safety.
"May I help you?" A little voice said.
The group turned around to see a little woman with long black hair and ice blue eyes. She had on a light blue kimono, that he little white snowflake designs on it.
"May we stay here for a while?" Kurama asked.
"You people may stay all you like, make yourselves at home." The lady said. "By the way, my name is Silvia."
Everyone introduced themselves and Silvia showed them to their rooms.
============
Yusuke and Kurama lay in a nice, big, warm bed that was in the room they were staying in.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this, but Kuwabura is a godsend." Kurama said.
"I have to agree." Yusuke said. "But what I don't get is what a house is doing out here this far into the forest."
"We should keep an eye on things, just incase..." Kurama said, agreeing with Yusuke.
"Alright, you go to sleep, I'm going to go take a look around." Yusuke said.
"No, I'm coming with you..." Kurama said yarning.
"No you're not; you're tired and need rest." Yusuke said. "I'll be okay; I'll only be gone for a half an hour at the latest."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Kurama asked in a worried voice.
"Yes, I'll be fine." Yusuke said. He went across the room, grabbed his jacket and put it around his waist. He came back to Kurama and signaled for him to get into bed; Kurama did that and Yusuke tucked him in, then he placed a kiss on his lips.
"I'll be back before you wake up." Yusuke said, then he headed out the room.
"Please be careful..." Kurama whispered before he drifted to sleep.
============
Yusuke walked down the stairs of the little house. He saw that everything looked normal, except for some of the paintings on the wall. He looked at them for a while and a shiver went down his spine.
The paintings were of a little boy; this boy had long black hair and crystal blue-green eyes. A rose was in his hair and he had a grin that looked like Yusuke's. Yusuke didn't know why, but he felt like he knew the boy, but he knew he never met him in his whole entire life, or did he?
Footsteps coming down the stair snapped him out of his stupor; he looked up the steps only to see Silvia.
"Hello Yusuke, enjoying the art?" She asked.
"Yeah..." Yusuke said. "Do you know this little boy?"
"No, not really, all I know about him is that he roams through the snow outside." Silva said.
"What?" Yusuke asked.
"This little boy seems to have no parents." Silva began. "Countless times I tried to give him shelter, but he won't accept. I don't know where he came from or why he's here, he must live somewhere out there because it's much too cold for anyone to live out in the cold like that, unless he's an ice demon."
Yusuke said nothing, he just looked up at the paintings again; something kept telling him that he knew this boy.
============
Yusuke checked everything out in the house; everything seemed normal, yet too good to be true.
What were the chances of him, his lover, and his friends, finding a little house in the middle of nowhere? Something didn't seem right in that little house, and in this new little world the he and the others had entered, he felt that some bad things were going to happen.
He walked up the steps into the room that he shared with Kurama. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see that Kurama was wide awake with Genkai; they were playing a game of dominos.
"Hey Yusuke, care to join?" Kurama asked as he shook the little box with domino pieces.
"Don't mind if I do." Yusuke said.
The three of them played many rounds of the little game; while they played, Yusuke explained what he felt when he looked at the paintings; then Silvia called everyone down for dinner.
"We'll play more later, right now we have to eat." Yusuke said. "When we get downstairs, I'll show you two the paintings."
The other two nodded. They put away the domino pieces and went downstairs.
