As her sisters disappear into the darkness she looks at the man with the kanta at her throat. "Sorry if I offended you Hiei. I am not normally like this, just trying to make small talk." She said. His face lightened (not much) and she put her fingers on the tip of the small sword.

He drew the kanta back and sheathed it. "Just watch your mouth next time." He disappeared from sight. Soon she gained sight of him again in the top of the near by tree. She pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her forehead on her knees. Soon she caught the fox and Troulba's scents. "Your sister is back." He said coldly. She glanced up then to her sister and the fox who just stepped back into camp.

"Where did Jinx get to, Pranx…. And the small fellow?" Troubla asked her sister who looked like she was about to cry. "Sis what's wrong? What happened?"

Troubla sat down next to her. "Nothing sis, nothing at all. I promise!" She slapped on a fake smile that worked on her sister next to her, 'I need a better lie for Jinx, lord knows she will look right through my smile.'

"Okay well I am sleeping next to Yoko, where are you going to sleep, next to Hiei?" Asked her sister standing up next to Yoko. He looked at Pranx the curled up lady.

"How could you think such a childish thing, I would not waste my time on her." Hiei said rejoining the small group. "Why would I let her sleep next to me?" He cracked a smile "Just cause you want to get lucky Yoko don't mean a thing to me and her."

"Hiei!" Yoko said "I aint like that," He looks away "And because it is going to get real cold tonight." Yoko said standing straight up again, making Troubla look half his size again.

"Man now I feel short again, thanks." She said crossing her arms over her chest; Yoko stooped over again and put his chin on her shoulder. "Much thanks." She smiled and Jinx and Kuronue walked back to the group.

"Okay what happened now?" Asked Jinx before anyone else could speak. Kuronue had his arm around her waist, she was favoring her right leg and foot.

"No the question is more like what happened to you Jinx?" Asked Pranx

"Oh nothing I just stepped into a patch of brayers. Nothing much, hardly scratched the skin." She said.

"Don't lie to yourself, Jinx stepped on a rabbit trap set by a hunter, cut to the bone." Kuronue said he helped her to the tree close to the fire. " I was going to carry her but she would not allow it."

Jinx sat against the tree and winched, she leaned forward then winched again. "Owe my back, my back." A tear slid down her left cheek, "God it is cold out here."

"Here lean forward," Kuronue said she leaned up and he leaned against the tree and slid behind her, he grabbed her shoulders (lightly) and guided her back against his chizzled chest. "Comfy Jinx?" He asked she nodded.

"Look how cute they are!" Said Pranx, Jinx opened her eyes and rolled them back in her head, "Okay I will be quiet! I promise,"

"Good girl, every time you bother me I will do that again, hehehe." Jinx said, then wiggled back to keep warm. Every one settled in for bed, Jinx and Kuronue on the ground by the fire, Pranx sleeping curled into a ball, Hiei looking down on her, Troubla and Yoko in the tree on a large branch above all on the others.

As the sun rose Jinx was first up and then the other sisters, "Hey lets go get some thing for breakfast. Then or before get a hot spring bath, good idea?" Said Troubla. Jinx rubbed her eyes trying to get the rest of the tired out of them. Pranx was still shaking from the cold night.

"Hey guys did it get warmer in the middle of the night or what?" Asked Pranx. Jinx looked at Troubla and both looked at Pranx.

Jinx spoke up, "Are you that out of it at night, I mean I heard something move I was up in a flash, it was Hiei, he laid right next to you, and kept you warm for most of the night." She said.

"Liar! That guy hates me to death." She said "Like he would do that for me." She trailed off… "Okay he might.. just leave me be." She stomped off to get food. Jinx and Troubla stayed back to talk to Hiei later while she was gone.

Hiei was next up and was kind of surprised by his actions over the night, (rewind) Hiei woke and saw Pranx still laying on the ground below him, 'Poor girl' he thought, he jumped down from his spot and lay next to her. She was shaking badly, 'are you that dumb not to have warm clothes?' he thought again, 'hope no one else is up, god I can't imagine the blackmail I would get.' (Fast foreword) "Oh well new day, new enemy." He said to himself.

"Hey Hiei?" a coy voice said, he turned his head to see Jinx and Troubla standing there smiling evilly at him. "Can we talk to you, alone?" asked Jinx

"Why?" He asked sharply to them. DUN DUN DUN!
