Sorry for the long delay, but sometimes life happens. I hope I haven't lost anyone. If you need to know, our heroes are still somewhere deep in the bowels of the Dark Forest..

Scene 7 ------------------------------------------- The Next Morning
* When Yusuke wakes up he begins to grumble about the hard ground he'd just had to sleep on. The only other member that's awake as of yet, Touya, rolls his eyes and continues staring down into the fire that he'd just stoked back into life. Since the sun isn't quite up yet, the Toushin naturally gravitates toward that blazing light and the warmth it's giving off.
Yusuke- (Grumbling) D---, freaking nature.. I forgot how friggin' cold the d--- nights..
* As he reaches the outskirts of the flame's range Touya raises his cold gray eyes to stare at Yusuke. He watches the handsome, still-very-young-looking ex-detective pause to check over the area to make sure all the others are still there. Yusuke then sits on the fallen log beside the Ice Master. At first he meets Touya's scrutinizing stare with a smirk.
Yusuke- One would think you'd stay away from fire. Won't you melt or something?
* When Touya doesn't respond, but just keeps studying him Yusuke turns his head to solidly meet the glare.
Yusuke- Do you have a problem with me?
Touya- I can freeze you solid in seconds.
* Strangely, Yusuke feels no actual threat in the factual statement. Then again, experience has taught him to never take any demon at face value.
Yusuke- So we have something that we need to settle, refrigerator breath? Fine, then why don't you just tell me what you got against me.
Touya- Your attitude for starters.
Yusuke- Well, that's probably not going to change as long as you keep staring at me like that. Anything else?
* Finally Touya sighs and looks back into the fire.
Touya- The fact that you're a Mazoku.. A very powerful one that could turn on Kurama once he does squash the little brat.
* Instead of commenting on these words, Yusuke allows himself to stay calm and uses his Toushin skills to 'feel' the cold demon out. Slowly, he gets it. He feels the genuine concern for their mutual friend.
Yusuke- Look, Pal... If I were going to turn on Kurama he'd be a crispy critter by now.
Touya- I trust that you feel that way now.. But I've learned nothing from Kurama if I haven't learned to prepare for whatever possibilities one might face.. We're all strong enough to get through this d--- forest.. Surely you don't think it's wholely to blame for that skirmish last night.
* Touya looks at Yusuke again.
Yusuke- I think that's the most I've ever heard you talk, frosty. Yeah, I'm listening.
Touya- My friends and I are completely loyal to Kurama.
Yusuke- I gathered that.. I mean, I think the fox has more to fear from his own brother than he does from you guys.
Touya- But what happens afterward? After Kurama reclaims his rightful place? Do you not understand what is taking place in Demon World once again? Of course you don't.. You're not old enough to remember the last time three rulers became powerful enough to divide my home.
* Yusuke glances toward the pair of Youkos that are sleeping on a thick bed of moss. The sun is just beginning to crest the horizon so the sky above them is just beginning to lighten to an azure shade. But Yusuke's eyes still see Kurama's large form easily. Briefly, his memory returns to times during his detective days when the team of four would spend many nights camping out together when they were on various missions. Half consciously, half expectantly, Yusuke glances up toward the nearest tree, but there is nothing in it's branches save the small form of the imp that had returned to their safety before they'd all settled down to sleep last night. With a deep sigh, Yusuke looks back into the flames.
Yusuke- Touya,..
Touya- Demon World will once more be in the hands of three of the most powerful demons it's ever known.. Kurama,.. Hiei,.. and you, Urameshi.
Yusuke- And I.. have no desire to be the king of anything.. I'm not going to be the king of this world, Touya.. That's not my destiny..
* Yusuke looks at Touya again.
Yusuke- (Quietly) Unfortunately, it's not in Kurama's destiny, either.
* Touya calculates Yusuke's words, but doesn't completely grasp them. The Toushin realizes that he may have said too much and quickly redirects the Ice Master's thoughts.
Yusuke- Nor will I take any sides on the matter.. Unless it's to keep my two closest friends from killing each other.. Satisfied?
* They hear the others begin to stir so Touya decides that he's heard and said enough for now. He curtly nods.
Yusuke- Great.. Let's just keep this little convo to ourselves, then. It'll only bring out more s--- if we continue.
Touya- Agreed.
* Yusuke stands and stretches to crack his back then moves away past Kurama, who has sat up to look toward them, grumbling about the woes of going to the bathroom in the woods. Kurama watches him go a moment, glances back toward Touya, then quietly stands to begin waking the others.
