Kurama and Hiei plummeted down the snowy mountain rolling and tumbling over and over, in the drag of bounding snow.
"Ah!" Kurama cried out in pain, feeling one of his skiis twisting his leg in the wrong direction "Rrr." He bared his teeth in anger. 'There's got to be some way to stop us from falling, but where's Hiei?' He looked around the best he could, having his vision blocked out by a sheet of white.
"Ku-..." He heard his name faintly. In the distance a hand appeared in the snow and Kurama was sure it was Hiei.
'Now my only problem is how to get to-...' He gasped feeling the snow leaving from around his body. 'We must be going over the mountain side.' His words were panicked but he managed to calmly reach his hand up into his hair yanking out a single red rose.
"Rose whip!" He called out the command for the plant to turn into a weapon.
His aim was for a tree at the top of the cliff, it appeared to be the only one that wasn't affected by the avalanche.
'...Make it!' He pleaded.
His body jerked to a stop as the whip snagged the tree, but the wrong tree. Kurama didn't see that Hiei had managed to fall close enough to him, but when the youkai grabbed onto his leg the added weight pulled the kitsune right off of his hold on the rose whip sending him falling back over the cliff side again.
"Aaaahhh!"
Kurama managed to turn his self over so that he could grab a hold of Hiei. Clutching the smaller male to his body, the two of them fell- snow and all- to what could be their doom...

"Yeah! I knew we'd beat those guys!" Shouted Yusuke, punching a fist into the air.
"Heh heh heh, was there any doubt? These guys all look like amateurs when we're around." Kuwabara bragged as well. "They might as well go back to the bunny slopes with the rest of the beginners."
The two of them threw their heads back with laughter. The other competitors, the ones that didn't make it past the preliminaries, stand behind the two giving them sour looks.
"We're the man!" Said Yusuke before being tapped on the shoulder. "Huh? An adoring fan?" He turned around to see.
"Sorry... but..." She pants out of breath from rushing over. "I couldn't find Kurama or Hiei anywhere." Botan explained. Her shoulders were hiked to her ears and her arms were around her chest the best they could be over her oversized coat.
"Botan you look like a snow girl." Kuwabara commented with a pointed finger.
"You would be too if you started the morning having cold water thrown on you."
Yusuke blushed hearing that, then placed a hand behind his head stating. "I already said I was sorry, give a guy a break."
Botan waved the subject off then pointed to where she had just come from. "I saw the tracks that Kurama and Hiei's skiis had made, only problem with that is they could actually be anybody's..." Her voice lowered in wonder and somewhat defeat. "There were a lot of other skiers out there this morning."
"Oh..."
They all downcast their vision trying to figure out if the two of them were off someplace just to be alone, or were they in some sort of trouble. It was a complicated situation. Moreso when they had no idea about the avalanche that happened on the other side of the mountain.
The announcer began to speak again calling off the numbers of the first 25 racers to get down the slope in the given amount of time. "And numbers 465 and 466!"
Looking to where the man's voice had come from, Yusuke muttered. "That's us. Listen Botan," He was saying, looking back at the frost-bitten girl. "you go on inside and warm up, don't worry about Kurama and Hiei, they're bound to show up once they're done sorting some stuff out. Okay?"
"But how do you know?" She asked, uncertain if she should stop her search. They're demons, sure, but its strange for anybody to just disappear.
With a shrug of his shoulder, he replies. "Eeh, just call it a hunch."
Botan still seemed unconvinced. But she was also freezing more than the snow itself, so maybe a quick break with something warm would be alright. "Okay, but I'll be back on the search shortly, and if you care about your friends at all you'll help me."
Turning herself, she stuck her poles into the ground and started away.
"Urameshi, I'm not picking up Kurama's or Hiei's energy, shouldn't we worry about that?" Kuwabara asked as they began their walk to the starting line.
"Yes, I'm worried, okay!" He snapped not meaning to. "But... the competitions important too, we can't just quit, it hasn't even started yet." He moved a little more ahead of the swordsman dismissing the subject.
'I hope you're right about them taking care of themselves, Yusuke. I've got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.' He shuddered.
"You comin' or not!" Yusuke called.
Snapping out of his thoughts, the red head smiled replying. "Yeah, wait up!"
...
Kurama was the first one to make some sort of audible sound. His head was popping up out of the snow but his body was covered from his forearms down. Hiei was yet to be seen.
'Hiei!?' He thinks in a gasp. Looking around the snow covered... hole? Kurama called out coughing from exhaustion as he did so. "Hi..." He coughed again. "Hiei?!"
"Eh," The male's head slowly, but surely, began to show through the snow as he had to brush it away with his face. He caught his breath a second then answered. "I'm here."
Kurama smiled, happy that he was okay. Seemingly unharmed altogether, in fact. His eye scrunched in pain as he suddenly felt a part of his body groan in pain. 'So it seems my leg is broken.' He bared his teeth from the mild pain that was coursing through his leg; the snow was doing its part in numbing it, to dull the full shock of it being broken. 'Lucky for me.' He thought with sarcasm.
"You're hurt," Said Hiei noticing the foxe's face. "I'll melt you out."
"No, Hiei!" Kurama said with a warned tone.
"And why not?"
"Rrr," He shifted uncomfortably. "I'm afraid that if you melt the snow it may only make things worse off for us. Better we just dig our ways out of the lose snow then be covered in sheets of ice."
"Hn." He began to move himself. 'If Kurama wants to be stubborn than so be it, but I'm digging him out.' He seemed to be struggling though as his arms were pinned down.
Kurama chuckled lightly and turned his eyes up. "Before we get free, I think we should figure out if we're right side up or not."
"What do you mean?" Hiei didn't understand.
"If we are infact upside down and don't know it, we'll pop our heads." He laughed. "I've seen in the movies that they often spit to see which direction they're in."
Hiei scoffed hearing that. "Kurama, don't be such an idiot. Of course we're right side up, look at your bangs," He gestured at him with a nod of his head. "they're still over your face."
Kurama tried looking up but could feel them there better than see them. "So it seems they are." He laughed again.
"Kurama, this is no laughing matter; if you're hurt we have to get you out of the snow so that we can fix the problem." Hiei wriggled again.
'He really cares for my safety...' Kurama noticed right away. "Perhaps I can help you out." Kurama said feeling that he was finally able to free his arms. Reaching over to Hiei, he began to brush the snow from the male's body, freeing his arms as well. "Will you need further assistance, or can you do it from there?"
"I'm fine." He replied, pulling himself out. The blood seemed to rush to his head a moment as if his brain suddenly realized that he wasn't upside down. Shaking the feeling off, he scooted over to Kurama reaching his hands out to him.
"Here, take my hands. I'll pull you out."
Doing as Hiei said, Kurama dug his moving leg into the snow to help Hiei with pulling him out. The two of them made strangled groans and grunts trying to pull the red head free.
"Rrr, one more pull should do it." Hiei assured.
Surely enough, one hard tug and the fox was freed. Hiei lay back on the snow and Kurama on top of him; he couldn't help but smile at the classic romance scene playing out between him and Hiei. But instead of kissing him, as the movies would do, Hiei pushed him off.
"How's your leg?" He asked.
"It's... numb, from the snow I assure you. But healing itself regardless." Kurama's hopes sank along with his voice. 'I guess that kiss outside was nothing but the heat of the moment for him.'
Hiei stood with his head lowered because of the height difference in the cave. "I'll think of a way out of here, you just watch your leg fox."
"Right..."
Hiei turned around looking back at the sad faced red head. "What's with you, we're out of the snow."
"It's nothing." Kurama waved it off, then bundled his coat around his body.
Hiei could tell something was wrong and that for some reason Kurama was gonna act too proud to talk about it. Not that he thought he'd be much help with whatever it was. But still...
Kurama was wondering... thinking that maybe he and Hiei should talk, maybe to get a better understanding of each other. Sometimes words speak louder than actions, they were certainly more clear than just a kiss.
"Hiei, can I ask you something?" Kurama said to what Hiei thought was out of the blue.
"Go ahead."
Becoming shy to the matter Kurama just laughed quietly, and waved it off. "It's nothing, forget it."
Hiei cocked his head at the male's odd behavior, then turned away. "The cold is making you delusional; try to keep warm while I find an exit."
He began to walk away out of sight, burning his path through the snow.
'Kurama, just talk to him... it's not the hardest thing in the world to do.' He looked down. 'Though when your feelings are on the line your tongue just seems to tie itself. There must be some way to get through to him... And I'll think of it, after all, we've probably got all the time in the world til someone rescues us.' He began to rub his arms through his jacket. 'I just wish it weren't so cold.'

"That was another exciting round folks, this years skiers are ones in a million!" The announcer shouted into his microphone.
"Ha, winner takes all boys." Said Shizuru. "And I'll tell you now, I intend to take all of it."
Yusuke cocked an eyebrow. "What does she mean by that?"
Kuwabara looked as guilty as a cat trying to pass off as a bird with fur. "Ahaha."
Crossing his arms Yusuke waddled up beside his lover. "Got something you wanna tell me, Eikichi?"
"Uuuhh, ahhaha."
"Well?"
"I uh... may have mentioned something to Shizuru about our wager, and she wanted in or else she'd pound me."
"What?" Yusuke looked horrified. "If she wins that means we'll have to be her slaves!"
"Well uh... maybe she'll lose and be ours."
"Kuwabara she's skied longer than either of us, we're done for!" Raising his fist. "I should be the one to pound you into dust."
"Couldn't we just try our hardest to win."
Shizuru laughed as she swished by them. "Good luck with that. I never lose this competition and I don't intend to start."
"Hmm?" Yusuke gave Kuwabara a stern look.
"Uhhh," The red head needed a distraction, something... anything. Bingo! "Hey there's Botan!"
The blue haired girl rushed frantically over to them and stopped a moment to catch her breath. "You guys it's all over the news that-..."
"This just in folks," Everyone turned their attention to the announcer. "It seems that Mt. Arai has just had an avalanche in the far eastern region of the mountain, but not to worry folks... it's been confirmed that no one was over there, and the mountains are still stable for the competition to go on!"
"Oh great, he just spilled the news. But he missed the part that Hiei and Kurama may have been out there."
"What?" They said in unison.
"Yes, when I saw their tracks I noticed they seemed to be going out into the woods, but I thought they might have turned back." Her shoulders shrank. "I knew I shouldn't have left them. It's all Hiei's fault."
"Hiei?" Wondered Kuwabara.
"He's the one that told me to take a hike, he and Kurama wanted to be alone." She explained.
"That little show off must have led them into the woods!" Kuwabara stuck his poles into the ground pushing him off towards the bunny slopes.
"Where are you going?" Asked Yusuke.
"Competition or not, we've gotta find our friends they could be hurt."
"Kuwabara." Botan said in awe.
"Yeah... and maybe Shizuru won't want slaves after all." He followed after him.
"Let's save the one chance of a miracle on finding Hiei and Kurama." Said Kuwabara knowing their was no chance in hell Shizuru would let them off. 'Just hang tight you guys, we're on our way.'
