Captured!

When I get good reviews like I've been getting, I will definately give you my gratitude because I do really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you once again, thoth_moon. While things seem dark, there are some interesting things happening between our demon trio, don't you think? ;o) Oh, and yes, I have 2 sequels (so far). One is already rough drafted, the other is in the works. What you get when I put it together in here is my final, finished, hammered out product.

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks. :o)

Scene 12 ****************************************** The Next Morning

* Having slipped off to sleep during his meditating, Kurama jerks awake. At first he
just lays still until he orients himself, then he sits up. He glances around
flushing nervously when he feels a "certain urge" that he can no longer suppress.
Seeing that he is the only one awake in the room he stands, glances toward the cell
beside his, then moves quickly to a far corner. Just as he finishes up he hears the
outer door screech open slowly. Kurama quickly closes the plain red yukata that he
was given to wear the previous day. When he turns he notices that he is being
examined again by Honshin's wolfish yellow eyes.

Kurama- Something amuses you?

* Honshin grins.

Honshin- Inari, you're beautiful... I bet you're gorgeous as Youko, too.

* Kurama just turns away from the lecherous gaze and goes over to the bars that divide
the two cells until his body stops. He looks in on Yusuke and Hiei who are still
snuggled together sleeping. Kurama feels a twinge of jealousy at first, but then he
forces it back. Honshin moves up closer to Kurama's cell.

Honshin- The Boss knows that I want you.

* Kurama refuses to acknowledge the wolf demon's words as he just begins to pace slowly
again.

Honshin- If he grants my request you and I will get very well... acquainted.
Kurama- To quote my leader... Go to h---.

* Honshin chuckles, then gives a quiet, leering howl.

Honshin- Umm, such spirit will be... delicious... to break.

* Kurama's stomach picks that particular moment to announce another function that has
been neglected.

Honshin- Ahh, now I see why you're in such an unsociable mood... Your pathetic human shell needs food.

* Kurama now turns to look coldly at Honshin.

Kurama- I need nothing from you!
Honshin- I bet your... learder's human shell requires food as well.

* Kurama looks toward his friends. He'd started to wonder the same thing himself.
Honshin thumbs over his shoulder toward Kuwabara who is sleeping fitfully in his
cell.

Honshin- That one hasn't eatten since he volunteered to come here, either...

* Kurama returns his glare back at the wolf, his right arm raises as it starts to go for
his rose whip. But when Kurama feels only the emptiness of his sealed powers he
clenches the hand into a fist.

Honshin- I never had much dealings with the food group, personally. But I seriously
doubt if they can go as long as we demons can.
Kurama- What... do you want...?

* Kurama mentally curses his habitual curiosity when the wolf takes out the baggie of
black leaves.

Honshin- Oh, I think we've already discussed that, Fox.
Kurama- I don't eat Foxbane, Wolf.

* Honshin shrugs.

Honshin- You don't eat a couple of these... They don't eat... I'm the Boss' right hand
guy, I can let him know whatever I think you might need to make your stay more... comfortable...
Kurama- Why? Why is it so important that I eat that junk?
Honshin- The Boss knows all about you, Youko... The awesome powers you possess.
Kurama- This d--- collar has those all sealed up.
Honshin- Sometimes... rarely, mind you... but sometimes we get customers who pay a
little extra for sluts that can give them... How shall I say this? The thrill of bedding the more dangerous types...

* Kurama starts to turn away.

Honshin- If you fail to whelp your litter with the Mazoku...

* Kurama looks back at Honshin weakly concealing his puzzlement, so the wolf reiterates.

Honshin- If it turns out that your hybridization has rendered you sterile, the only thing
you'll be good for here is...

* Honshin tilts his head suggestively toward Kuwabara. He chuckles when he gets the
reaction of anger that he'd hoped for from the kitsune, though briefly, when he steps
toward the bars with a snarl. The jolt of the collar stopping him serves to clear
Kurama's head once more. He crosses his arms to conceal his lengthening claws.

Kurama- You're very skilled at bargaining, wolf.

* Saying this word reminds Kurama of Sabaktu and he glances toward the boy.

Kurama- I know how to bargain as well...
Honshin- Not with Sabie you don't... The Boss already has plans for the little guy...
You have the deal that concerns you. Perhaps you just need a couple more days to think it over.

* Honshin winks.

Honshin- Call for me when you're... hungry enough... The name's Honshin, Beauty.

* Kurama watches the wolf demon leave then turns when he hears Hiei curse.

Hiei- Get the... h--- off of me...

* Yusuke mumbles unintelligibly as he rolls off of Hiei. The koorime sits up and again
has to put his ebony spikes in order.

Hiei- (Mumbled) D--- this place is killing my hair...

* Kurama chortles softly and Hiei looks up at him, slipping his discarded cloak back on
habitually.

Kurama- I trust you slept well, Hiei.

* Hiei just studies the approaching kitsune. Kurama stops this time before the collar
reacts to the dividing bars.

Kurama- I hold no grudge against...
Hiei- I've never known you to lie so much, Fox.

* Hiei looks toward the doorway that leads to the outer door.

Hiei- So who was that idiot?
Kurama- One of the thugs working for Satjiyu... I guess... Honcho or something. I
really wasn't paying that much attention.

* Hiei ignores this blatant lie as he thinks a moment.

Hiei- Hn. Honshin...

* Kurama looks at Hiei again.

Hiei- So that wolf's moved up the ladder, I see.
Kurama- You know him?

* Hiei hesitates, then nods as he stands and moves up to look through his bars at
Sabaktu.

Hiei- He used to be kept in the cell next to mine... The bars didn't have to be warded
back then...

* Hiei raises his eyes to study the bars, memories briefly flooding his mind.

Hiei- If I... paced too close to them he'd... reach through and grab me...

* Hiei shakes himself out of his reminiscing and turns to move away from the bars with a
growl. Awakened further by their talking, Yusuke sits up and stretches until Hiei's
cloak hits him in the face.

Yusuke- Do I repulse you much?
Hiei- All humans repulse me.

* Yusuke glares up at Hiei.

Yusuke- Didn't seem to repulse you too much last night.

* Hiei turns away. Before anything else can be said Honshin returns. He glances
toward Kurama as he moves to the next cell. He tosses a couple red yukatas in for
them.

Honshin- Tell me, Mazoku, are you hungry?
Yusuke- Nah, I'm fine. Your face takes away my appetite.

* Honshin smirks and looks down to meet Hiei's cold stare.

Honshin- Hello, Morsel.

* Hiei doesn't answer. They watch the wolf give Kurama a leering wink as he leaves
again. The kitsune just looks back toward Yusuke.

Yusuke- Prick.
Hiei- We may lie to them...

* Hiei half glances toward the camera then turns to look at his teammates.

Hiei- (Quietly) But we need to stop lying to each other.
Yusuke- Okay, fine...

* Yusuke stands and throws the larger of the two robes on.

Yusuke- I'm starving. Okay, Shorty?

* He tosses the smaller robe to Hiei.

Kurama- Yusuke,...
Yusuke- That's my truth... Now, why don't you tell us yours?

* Kurama lowers his eyes and moves to sit against the wall on his own thin mattress.
Hiei watches the redheaded kitsune hug one of his knees, then storms to Yusuke and
shoves him back against their wall until he has him pinned.

Hiei- You want his truth, I'll give it to you, you idiot! They're not going to feed you or the fool over there until Kurama accepts some of the Foxbane!

* Kurama sighs and looks toward them. He watches Yusuke's expression fall.

Yusuke- Aww, s---...

* Yusuke looks toward Kurama. Hiei eases his grip and steps back some.

Yusuke- I don't need their food anyway...
Kurama- (Quietly) We, as half demons, perhaps can go longer...

* Kurama looks toward Kuwabara.

Kurama- (Quietly) But he hasn't eatten since they brought him here...

* Hiei releases Yusuke completely and turns when they hear the outer door again. This
time Satjiyu enters with another demon who's clad in a plain white Samue-style***
outfit. The others watch the two stop outside of Kuwabara's cell.

Satjiyu- Prepare this one to be mounted, Doc.

* The second demon bows slightly and enters Kuwabara's cell. The tiger moves next to
look into Yusuke and Hiei's cell. Kurama starts toward Satjiyu until the tiger raises
a hand.

Satjiyu- Kurama's collar, halt your host.

* The collar's energy-type spikes gouge into Kurama's neck causing him to grimace
and begin to claw at it. Hiei snarls.

Hiei- Enough, Satjiyu!!

* Satjiyu looks in at Hiei who steps forward.

Hiei- You want me... Not them...
Yusuke- Hiei,...

* Hiei half turns toward Yusuke.

Hiei- Shut up or I'll kill you myself, Detective!

* He looks back up at Satjiyu.

Hiei- Tell me what you really want...
Satjiyu- Your power has grown incredibly since you got away from me, Little Shiyounin.
Hiei- Hn. I figured you wanted more than just sex.
Satjiyu- Indeed... I get plenty of that from Sabie.

* Satjiyu tilts his head toward the cell behind him.

Satjiyu- And others like him that I've trained... personally... I can take my pleasure
from you anytime I wish to do so, as well... You know this.
Hiei- Hn. Stop their torture and I will give you whatever you want from me.

* Yusuke moves up to embrace Hiei from behind, glaring at Satjiyu.

Yusuke- Just a d--- minute! You gave these two to me...! You want me to... breed
them...
Hiei- Yusuke,...!
Yusuke- I won't let you...!
Satjiyu- You can't breed them if they're not in heat.

* Satjiyu touches the bars.

Satjiyu- Step out here, Shi.

* Hiei struggles loose from Yusuke.

Hiei- I asked you to trust me...
Yusuke- Hiei,...

* When Kurama collapses to one knee it distracts Yusuke and Hiei blinks through the
bars to face Satjiyu. Before Yusuke can charge through them Satjiyu releases them.

Satjiyu- (Quickly) Just repel him, Bars!!

* When Yusuke hits the bars they deliver a jolt just strong enough to knock the Toushin
backwards a couple feet. Yusuke's eyes begin to flare as he snarls.

Yusuke- If you hurt Hiei...

* Yusuke's fist begins to glow. Kurama squawks painfully as he tries to yell at Yusuke.

Yusuke- You'll never use me as a stud... or anything else... I'll blast myself to h---!

* Satjiyu remains calm as he takes another collar out of his vest pocket and offers it
to Hiei. Without hesitation Hiei grabs it and begins to lift it toward his throat.

Satjiyu- Not you, Shi... Him.

* Satjiyu motions toward Yusuke.

Satjiyu- Seal his powers before he loses his control... Unless you'd rather be bred to
... someone else...

* When Satjiyu flicks a glance toward Kuwabara Hiei turns back toward the bars. Satjiyu
touches them to allow the koorime to go back in to face Yusuke. The detective takes a
step backward, but doesn't take his eyes off of Satjiyu.

Yusuke- Don't, Hiei...
Hiei- Will you blast me to prevent it?

* Now Yusuke lowers his eyes to meet Hiei's. Slowly, the blue fire surrounding his
clenched right fist fades away.

Hiei- (Quietly) I will not be... bred... to that... (growls) Instead of you...

* When Yusuke finally, slowly nods Hiei lifts the collar. As soon as the black strap
touches Yusuke's flesh it snaps tight around his throat.

Satjiyu- Yusuke's collar, seal your host.

* Hiei steps back some to watch silently. Yusuke feels a brief draining sensation. He
raises his hand to try to recall the Spirit Wave, but nothing happens. Hiei lowers his
eyes.

Satjiyu- Now come back out here to me, Shi.

* Hiei turns to look up at the tiger as coldly as ever.

Hiei- First we deal, Satjiyu.

* Satjiyu rolls his eyes, annoyed at the koorime's ploy and lack of memory.

Satjiyu- Uwakionna Hiei, come to me!

* Hiei's eyes widen as his body jerks forward, then he surges up every ounce of energy
he can to try to resist the pull. His warded right arm even begins to smoke as the
concealed dragon within joins the struggle**. Satjiyu hesitates only a moment when he
recognizes the dark aura that begins to surround Hiei. With a roar the tiger gives
his own powers a boost. The dungeon room begins to shudder. Kurama is knocked back
onto his rear, exhausted and heaving, to sit and watch the power struggle. Yusuke is
staggered backward as well.

Satjiyu- (Louder) Uwakionna Hiei, come to me...! Now!!

* As soon as it began the battle is ended as Hiei's body lurches forward. The action
startles the koorime out of his concentration. Yusuke can't move quick enough to grab
Hiei before Satjiyu notices his intentions.

Satjiyu- Yusuke's collar, paralyze your host!

* It's now the Toushin's turn to feel the painful stab of the collar's energy as it
shoots into the back of his neck. When Yusuke cries out Hiei turns to look at him.
Satjiyu seizes his chance, gives a final boost, and roars the order again. This time
Hiei's body moves, taking him out to face Satjiyu once more. The tiger narrows his
angry orange eyes as he bends to get right in the heaving koorime's face.

Satjiyu- Do you really believe that I need to bargain with you, you little b----??!

* The tiger grasps Hiei by his hair and yanks him up off his feet with a growl. Hiei
again tries to struggle, but he's much weaker this time. With the quickness of the
cat he represents, Satjiyu soon has another collar snapping shut around Hiei's neck.

Hiei- Nooo!!
Satjiyu- Shiyounin's collar,...
Hiei- D--- you to... h---!!
Satjiyu- Seal your host.

* Hiei feels the drain, but continues to squirm until finally he can barely move. When
he goes completely limp Satjiyu calms himself as he looks toward Sabaktu. The boy is
now quite awake and has just been observing everything that has transpired.

Satjiyu- The human stud should be ready for you by now, Sabie.

* Sabaktu stands and moves out of his unlocked cell to bow slightly to Satjiyu.

Sabaktu- You wish me to mount that one, Master?

* Sabaktu motions toward Kuwabara and Satjiyu nods.

Satjiyu- Yes. Make sure he gets you good. You know what to do, boy.
Sabaktu- Yes, Master.

* Hiei tries to growl again as Sabaktu goes toward Kuwabara's cell.

Hiei- (Weak Growl) N-No...

* Satjiyu looks back at Hiei who is still suspended in front of him.

Satjiyu- Because of your rebellion, I should make you watch, Shiyounin...

* He takes Hiei into Sabaktu's cell and pins him hard against the stone wall. He holds
the grimacing, hissing koorime there easily as he fishes a joint out of another vest
pocket. Satjiyu holds the joint up to show Hiei.

Satjiyu- Or I can be forgiving and let you take a trip... Choose.

* Yusuke growls as he tries to move. Kurama shakes his head, but is still in too much
pain himself to speak. Hiei closes his eyes when he hears Kuwabara groan as Sabaktu
climbs onto the table.

Kuwabara- (Groaned) Noo... n-not a-gain...

* Hiei looks back up at Satjiyu as he raises a hand to grab for the joint.

Hiei- Give me the d--- joint, you...!

* Satjiyu lifts the joint up out of his reach smirking.

Satjiyu- Uh uh uh... Remember your training, Shi.

* Hiei gnashes his teeth, but relents.

Hiei- Master.

* Hiei hears Yusuke's body hit the floor as the Toushin roars out a lengthy stream of
unsavory curses. Satjiyu chuckles as he sets Hiei down and lets him take the joint.

Satjiyu- Now I see where you got your colorful new language, Baby.

* Satjiyu lights the joint. He stands still and watches Hiei turn his back on the
"breeding" going on in the next cell. Satjiyu doesn't leave the cell until Hiei has
taken a few deep drags. After closing the door, Satjiyu decides he still better
activate these bars now and does so. He then glances in at Sabaktu as he turns.

Satjiyu- Good boy, Sabie. Ride him hard.

* Sabaktu nods with a moan as he moves on top of Kuwabara's "artificially stimulated"
erection.

Sabaktu- Uhhh, y-yess,.. sir... Th-thank you,.. M-Master...

* Satjiyu then looks toward Yusuke and Kurama.

Satjiyu- Kurama's and Yusuke's collars, put your hosts to sleep for a couple hours.

* Yusuke goes out growling, but Kurama's mind sluggishly wonders just what the complete
range of these collars' powers truly are. The last thing the kitsune can clearly make
out is Satjiyu's last order when he turns to leave and finds Honshin looking in at
Kurama.

Satjiyu- Feed them when they wake up.

* Honshin looks at Satjiyu quickly.

Honshin- Just the Ma-...
Satjiyu- You heard me. Both of them. I've decided to keep the kitsune.

* Satjiyu starts to leave, but pauses beside the wolf.

Satjiyu- You got a problem with that, Honshin?

* The wolf decides not to argue.

Honshin- No, sir.

* Satjiyu nods and leaves. Honshin curls his lips angrily then follows to carry out his
orders.

*** Yeah, I did some research on Japanese-style clothes. I'm not a true expert on Japanese culture, I just play one on AFF. lol

** Now didn't you just know that the Dragon would have to make an appearance sooner or later? Those of you who are loyal YYHians should know why Hiei hesitates to release his
most lethal attack. Right?

Wow, I know, I know. Another long one. But there was some necessary stuff in there. Honestly, sometimes I just get plain carried away with the flow of the plot, lol.

Another thing when I write is that I tend to lose track of the timeline sometimes. Have any of you been keeping track so far? :o)
