Yes, our beloved characters of YYH are in fact Snowbound, so if there is any lingering curiosity in your minds, read to find out how they react to this sudden mess. Enjoy!!!

Snowbound
"What the jigoku? We're stuck here in this puzzling and annoying human breeding ground?!" Hiei barked, watching the snowstorm from inside a local mall. "Oh, it's not that bad, Hiei," Botan said cheerfully, waving a hand at him. "Besides, even if we ARE stuck here, snowbound…trapped…erm." "Very nice, ferry girl, you being as dull-witted as you usually are, proved my point entirely."
"At least it's…uh…scenic?" Botan provided lamely. The Jaganshi just rolled his eyes and wandered off in some random direction. Botan grabbed his arm. "You can't leave me here! Alone. In the dark." He yanked his arm away and continued walking. "I can, and I will. It's a great deal more relaxing than standing here listening to your grating voice all night."

"You can at least try and be the optimist! We are the ONLY ONES here, so it would be just peachy keen if you can at least try and cooperate with me." Hiei's ruby orbs shot up at her and immediately after, he let out a loose shrug. "Fine. But I really don't suppose that you have any brilliant ideas. For one thing, it was your idea to bring me here. Since the old bitch put me on probation, I'm forced to give up my freedom and sadly, I HAVE to be paired up with you," the youkai said rather sarcastically. "Thanks, love you too," Botan retorted; an exposure of the tongue soon followed. "Save it…let's just see if there's at least ONE pathetic weakling locked up in this pathetic hellhole." "For once, Hiei, I agree with you completely…"

Botan scrutinized the mall map. "You are here," she read. "Okay. Um…" "WHY are we here?" asked Hiei, lurking nearby on a bench. "It's not like it matters WHERE we go, just so long as we find SOMEONE." Botan blinked blankly. "Uh…right. So where do we start?" Her question was answered by a few sudden crashes from the direction of the fondue shop. "…That works." She paused for a moment, then shoved Hiei in front of her. "You first?" The youkai just snorted scornfully and took a few cautious steps forward, one hand on his katana hilt. After a few moments of tense silence, out flew a figure, covered completely in fondue. Further analysis found this figure to be none other than JIN!

"Care to tell us what you're doing here, Jin?" Botan asked, arching a cerulean eyebrow. "Well, well. Interrogating, you are, you are," Jin shot back; he placed a hand on his hip and shrugged. "I came to this here place you people got here, I did. Never figured that it would close and I'd be stuck." Hiei sighed and sat himself down near a rather large vat of fondue. "Well, we may as well make the best of it," Jin continued, his Irish accent in full swing. "I guess it's good I found someone, it is." Botan agreed. "I think you should get up now Mr. Hiei. It isn't nap hour, it isn't." Hiei rose, a firm grip on his katana was enough to make Jin cease the sarcastic commentary.

"Time: 11:00 PM. Location: The Mall. Three contestants, trapped in a city mall past closing time. Innocent? I THINK NOT. For what unspeakable horrors shall they encounter? What lies hidden in the darkness? Ah, it is the fear of the unknown that these three intrepid heroes face. Will they escape? What dangers WILL they encounter? Find out tonight, on…STRANDED." Jin cocked an eyebrow. "Methinks you've been watching a wee bit too many reality shows, lassie." Hiei had smartly acquired earplugs at the convenience store and was currently dead to the world. (That lasted about .5 seconds) Botan rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Heh, sorry about that."

"I'm voting you off the island, onna," Hiei said in monotone. "You freaks better follow if you don't REALLY want to become 'stranded'." Both Jin and Botan shook their heads and tagged along by Hiei. "Since when do we have to take orders from 3 eyes over here?!" "I heard that, baka… 'METHINKS' thou doth protest too much so you better shut up before I lose it." It was obvious that Hiei did in fact lose it already, but just decided to keep his temper in check and under wraps. Suddenly, Hiei jumped in surprise and gradually came to a halt, his cronies left confused and without a reasonable explanation. "Something's inside…that store. Don't move, baka yarou…" Hiei growled at Jin. "You too, ferry girl…"

Hiei crept cautiously into the store, one hand once again on his katana. The store itself wasn't anything special; just shelves of glass jars filled with various human sweets. He ignored his surroundings and focused only on the utterly BIZARRE energy signature he was picking up. He never even saw it coming. One minute he was standing there, the next, he was on the ground with a high, playful voice screaming out, "BOO!" He hastily shoved away his attacker and whipped out his katana-and found himself staring at a little girl. She looked around eight or ten, with enormous blue eyes and incredibly long silver hair. She wore only a white nightgown, and on her forehead was a crescent moon. She blinked at his sword. "Cabbit doesn't think the scary boy liked Cabbit's joke." "What the HELL are you?!" he blurted out, still slightly frazzled. "Cabbit is Cabbit," she said simply, before latching on to him. "Scary boy LIKES Cabbit, right?!"

"You're on something," Hiei said sourly. "Cabbit is--WAS on you, Cabbit is right, right?" Jin looked down and rolled his eyes. "Kami-sama, what a headache I'm going to get from this chick… Agreed, Botan-dono?" She nodded without hesitation. "Cabbit knows of 'nother boy here too, Cabbit does!" "What the hell is this? 'Get locked in a mall' hour?" Hiei said, folding his arms. "Alright, shoujo, lead us there then. You can at least make yourself useful…unlike these blundering fools right behind me…" Cabbit giggled in response.

"Whoosh!" she said, for no good reason, pointing down the hallway. "He was down THERE." "FINE. Whatever. Do you plan on being a useful gaki or not, shoujo?" Hiei snapped. Cabbit hesitated for a moment. "Can you keep up with Cabbit?" The other three exchanged a cynical glance, then nodded to humor the little girl. Cabbit shrugged. "'Kay then. Usually Cabbit's friends have trouble keeping up with me." "And why would that-be?" Botan said, blinking with confusion when the little girl suddenly vanished and reappeared halfway down the hallway. "Um. She's really fast." Hiei looked vaguely intrigued, then pulled a similar trick to Cabbit's. Jin floated up a few feet in the air, and Botan whipped out her oar.

They were all able to catch up with Cabbit fairly easily, seeing how she was very young and inexperienced. "Take us there," Hiei commanded. Cabbit pointed angrily to her right. Apparently, they were already THERE. "Hn…" the koorime muttered in embarrassment. "Well there's no use just standing here, let's go in!" Botan screeched in Hiei's ear and grabbed his shoulders. "Back off, onna! Just because you're excited about this mystery fool joining our pathetic excuse for a troupe doesn't mean that you get to touch me." Everyone rolled their eyes at the two and went inside. From the looks of it, the place that they had decided to explore looked to be a toy store. "Great, the stupidity of ningen youth all around us," Hiei muttered. "To be young is good, strange boy. Cabbit is!" Jin smiled and walked off in the video game area. "Who are you?" He questioned almost immediately as he caught sight of a masculine silhouette. The person turned around from the video game and locked eyes with Jin. Laughter ensued. "Wahahaha! I had no clue it was freak hour, carrot top! What, you lost or something?!" Jin cocked an eyebrow. "I've had enough of your wisecracks, I have! What's your name?" "Tasekano Youko…"

Youko tilted his head to the side. "And your name is…" "Jin." "Jin…what?" Jin shrugged. "Jin. Just Jin. Jinny Jin Jin and no more than Jin!" Youko sweatdropped slightly. "Yay. My only company is an escapee from the Irish insane asylum." Just then, Cabbit came bounding up, with everyone else in tow. "Cabbit TOLD you there was a boy here!" she announced triumphantly. Hiei just rolled his eyes to the ceiling. Youko stared.

"What's that supposed to be?" Youko asked, pointing at Hiei's head of hair. Hiei grunted in annoyance and 'harumphed' outside of the store. "Well at least I'm not stuck playing video games in there anymore," Youko said to himself. His chocolate colored eyes wandered at every one of his companions and they just managed to fall on Botan. "And…you are?" he said with a smirk.

"Botan!" she announced happily, pointing to herself with a smile. Youko nodded thoughtfully. "Ah. So we are the cult of the single-named nutcases. That's cool. How'd YOU get stuck in here?" Botan laughed nervously. "Well…um…" "She spent five hours staring at plushies in some unknown store," Hiei cut in, with a scornful glare at the ferry girl. "Stood so still while she was drooling that the store owners forgot she was there. I had to hack open the locked gate with my katana." "Y'know, under normal circumstances I'd ask WHY exactly you have a katana…"

"No comment," Hiei replied. His ruby orbs turned to the left and he noticed that Jin was giving Cabbit a piggyback ride, and was also walking way from the group. "Looks like your group thing is coming apart at the seams, onna." Hiei pointed and Botan immediately shouted for Jin and Cabbit to come back. No response. "Huh, well I guess that we'll all end up meeting together…at the end…eventually…yeah," she muttered and then turned to face Youko. "Youko, since we'll be trying to get out of here…you, Hiei, and me, it'd be best to avoid this sadistic jerk." "Oh, I truly resent that, ferry girl," Hiei said sarcastically. "This is classic!" Youko said. "You guys are fighting like you're going out or something!" Botan blushed.

"More like the opposite," she mumbled. Youko's expression shifted to vaguely sympathetic. "Oh, so you just broke up?" "No!" snapped out Hiei. "I'm obligated to stick with this baka onna whether I like it or not." "…Why?" "Just. Don't. Ask." Hiei stalked off in the direction of the food court. Youko and Botan exchanged a glance. "He always this moody?" "You have NO idea." The trio seated themselves at a table a few minutes later. "So…is there ANY way we're getting out of this place?" Youko asked finally. Hiei smirked evilly. "I have an idea…" "Hiei, there is NO WAY you are LEVELING this mall with your Kokuryuha!" Botan shouted.

"W—What?!" Youko blurted out, eyes wide. "Never mind, Youko-kun," Botan waved a hand. "Oh man, I'm starving," Youko muttered. "Hn…yes, I guess even I can relate…" Hiei said aloud, brandishing his trusty katana. "Botan…" Hiei began. "Once I break into the kitchen, make us something good." Botan crossed her arms and looked away. As if she would really have a choice. If she said no, his katana would be pressed against her neck in less than three seconds flat. "I'll help you if you want, Botan," Youko volunteered. Both Hiei and Botan's eyes widened. "Shounen, YOU have some expertise in the kitchen?" He nodded. "Huh, she doesn't care. She'd cook for both of us if she knew what was good for her," Hiei whispered into Youko's ear. "Hey, are you sure you don't need help, Botan?" She smiled politely and shook her head. "Go ahead Hiei, cut the bars so I can wait on you hand and foot." He landed from a rather quick jump and in no time at all the bars were cut and Youko's mouth gaped. "Be right back boys. Try to keep the loss of blood to a minimum." She walked into the kitchen and scrunched up her face. "He'll be sorry that he forced me into this! This'll be one hell of a meal that my darling koorime shall never forget!" Botan cackled evilly.
