Scene 14 ****************************************** Early The Next Morning

* Kurama wakes and sits up to find that it is Yusuke who is pacing now. The Fox
stands and moves up as close to the adjoining corner as the collar will allow.
Yusuke glances at him, but before either of them can speak they hear a moan across the
aisle. They watch Sabaktu move on top of Kuwabara, finally making the human grunt as
he arches involuntarily. Sabaktu then curses pleasurably and leans forward over
Kuwabara's chest heaving.

Kurama- (Quietly) He's been on Kazuma all night?
Yusuke- (Quietly) No. He went back to his own cell, ate, and slept. He just went back over there when he woke up a couple hours ago. Like the freak said, the boy knows what he's doing.

* Kurama looks at Yusuke a moment, deducing that his friend has been up all night.

Kurama- (Sighs) That is going to upset Hiei greatly.

* Yusuke stops his pacing to look through the bars at him.

Yusuke- You really know how to state the obvious, Fox.

* Kurama decides to ignore Yusuke's jab. They both look toward Sabaktu again.

Yusuke- (Quietly) You know, there's really no way we can be sure that kid is Hiei's.
Kurama- Are you serious?
Yusuke- Hey, you heard that wolf guy... We can't trust anything that tiger says.

* Kurama lowers his eyes.

Kurama- Hiei would be able to tell.

* Yusuke looks back at Kurama curiously.

Yusuke- Yeah?

* They watch the aqua-haired boy roll and slide off of Kuwabara down onto the floor to
sit and relax against one of the table's legs.

Yusuke- (Whisper) Wonder if Kuwa will remember doing that.
Kurama- (Whisper) Only time will tell... But he's not going to be too thrilled about it
if he does, either.

* They fall silent when they hear the outer door creak quickly, then watch that
white-clad doctor shuffle in. The brown colored demon goes into Kuwabara's cell,
ruffles Sabaktu's aqua spikes, then sets to work cleaning Kuwabara up. Lastly, he
gives Kuwabara another shot of something then releases all the restraints from him.
The doctor then moves back to look down at Sabaktu.

Dr. Tsugetsu- The Master says you've had enough fun.

* The doctor snorts with a wheezing laughter. The not-too-tall demon then bends his
rubberish neck to snuffle around Sabaktu making the boy giggle.

Sabaktu- That tickles, Dr. Tsuie...
Dr. Tsugetsu- Besides, I think it's safe to say that you've been caught.

* Sabaktu shrugs and stands to look at Kuwabara.

Sabaktu- (Quietly) To a d--- human...

* The doctor cuffs the boy gently then tilts his head toward the camera wall. Sabaktu
gets the message. It isn't long until Kuwabara's head rolls to the side as he passes
out. Yusuke steps forward until his body jolts to a stop.

Yusuke- Kuwa,...?!

* The boy comes out of Kuwabara's cell and goes over to look up at Yusuke curiously,
knowing not to get too close to the active bars.

Sabaktu- He's not dead... Mazoku? Is that your name?

* Yusuke just looks down at the boy who is only slightly shorter than Hiei. The doctor
comes over to answer him, though.

Dr. Tsugetsu- No, Sabie. Mazoku is what he is. His proper name is Lord Yusuke Urameshi.

* Yusuke raises his eyes to examine the white-clad demon. The doctor timidly turns
away then leaves under Yusuke's scrutiny.

Yusuke- (Whisper) He's a Toushin...

* Kurama looks at Yusuke.

Sabaktu- Not completely. Dr. Tsugetsu's sire was a Toushin, his dam was a pig.
Kurama- You tend to speak your mind, don't you...?
Sabaktu- What? H---, no. I'm serious. She was a Pig Demon sow... Master Satji has
all kinds of species here.
Yusuke- Go away. I don't like you.

* Sabaktu shrugs and moves over to the end of the aisle to sit against the wall. The
Fox chuckles to break Yusuke's attention from the boy.

Kurama- In any wise, Yusuke, I doubt they would put food in with Kuwabara if they were going to eliminate him.

* Yusuke thinks a moment, then sighs and relaxes to start pacing again.

Kurama- Wasn't it you who always told me to rest...
Yusuke- Don't go there, Fox.

* Kurama half glances toward the camera wall when he hears Yusuke muttering something
about Koenma's ineptness.

Kurama- (Whisper) Yusuke, I don't think it's... his fault...

* Something in the kitsune's tone makes Yusuke pace back over to him until he's stopped,
glancing fleetingly toward the camera himself.

Yusuke- (Whisper) What do you know?
Kurama- (Whisper) I've not been meditating just to save my sanity, Yusuke...

* Kurama turns his back to the camera fluffing at his red hair as he continues relaying
what he's discovered.

Kurama- (Whisper) There's a very strong barrier of some kind that completely surrounds this complex.

* Kurama then scowls down at his hair.

Kurama- D---, Hiei was right... This place is hard on your hair.

* Yusuke stares incredulously at the kitsune as Kurama moves back to his mattress
rubbing his hands.

If there was anything I enjoyed about the YYH series, it was the fact that they could insert humorous things into even the most "serious" situations. Am I conveying this
well enough?
