Captured!

Me lovies all the good reviewies!! You're really encouraging me to keep this up, you know, lol! Thank you, BlueUtopiah! Consider the non-cursing as the...err.. edited versions of the series, maybe? lol :o)

Perhaps I should point out that Hiei is a tough character to deal with, but remember, in this story, he's already spent "nearly six years" in this place before, at a very young age, so he's dealing with his memories (thanks to his 'temporarily' out-of-commission jagan) as well as his former 'training'. Oh, but the poor little guy hasn't seen anything, yet, I'm afraid. But I'm not giving anything away. You gotta keep coming back. A little ray of hope, though, at least Junior has an inkling now. ;o)

Scene 19 ****************************************** Satjiyu's Fortress

* It is late that night when Kurama wakes up. He soon hears movement in the next cell
and sits up. He quickly averts his eyes as Yusuke relieves himself in the far
corner. The Toushin then leans against the wall a couple moments before turning to
move away. He notices that Kurama is awake and "eeps".

Kurama- (Quietly) Relax... I've had to do it myself.

* Yusuke sighs then glances down at the still-hibernating koorime as he moves across the
cell to the dividing bars. He finds that he's becoming accustomed to the collar's
sensations as it stops his body before he reaches them.

Yusuke- I couldn't resist him, Kurama.

* Kurama nods quietly. Yusuke studies the kitsune for a moment.

Yusuke- To-to be honest... I really didn't want to...

* Kurama lowers his eyes.

Yusuke- (Quietly) I won't resist you, either... When it's your turn.

* Now Kurama glances timidly up at Yusuke.

Yusuke- The only regrets I'll have is what that b------ is going to do with our...
Kurama- The offspring will live.

* Kurama stands and crosses his arms.

Yusuke- How do you figure that, Foxy? They'll be... mixed...
Hiei- Because the power our brats will possess will be far more valuable to Satji.

* Yusuke half turns to glance toward Hiei who is now sitting up on the mattress.

Hiei- (Quietly) Power is what he's really after now...
Kurama- Yes. We are all S-Class...

* The kitsune glances toward Yusuke.

Kurama- Or higher...
Yusuke- I suppose so... Then what about the one Sabaktu will have?

* Sabaktu glances toward Yusuke from his cell, where he is eatting the dinner that
had been brought for him.

Sabaktu- I told you... I only breed food.

* Before Yusuke can respond he notices Kurama move toward the front of his cell
purposefully.

Yusuke- What?
Kurama- He hasn't moved.
Yusuke- What?!

* Yusuke turns to look toward Kuwabara.

Kurama- (Quietly) Oh no...

* Yusuke moves to the corner. Hiei just watches from his place.

Yusuke- Kuwabara?! Hey, wake up!!

* Sabaktu stands and moves to lean in the corner of his cell toward them, unharmed.

Sabaktu- He's been put down.

* All three look toward the boy. Hiei now stands and comes forward.

Yusuke- What?! You mean he's...?
Sabaktu- No, not dead... They sedated him again. Dr. Tsuie says they're going to
tap him now that they know for sure he's fertile.

* Sabaktu looks back at Yusuke when the Toushin squawks and begins to curse.

Sabaktu- D---, you're noisy. How do you stand him, Father?

* Hiei glances toward the boy, but decides not to comment. Instead he just looks
back up at Yusuke.

Hiei- It's only a matter of time for him, anyway, Yusuke... You and Kurama both know
this.
Yusuke/Kurama- Shut up, Hiei.
Sabaktu- Nah, they'll probably keep him alive for a while. He's pretty strong for a
human. He's already lasted longer than most I've seen brought here.

* Yusuke turns away from glaring at Hiei, who was meeting his glare unconcerned, to look
toward Kuwabara again. Hiei moves back to sit down.

Yusuke- Yeah, his body will be alive... But that doesn't mean his mind will survive.
Kurama- I seriously question its validity already... He's been in denial since his
drugged state wore off... Keeps calling us 'imitators'... Perhaps that's how they caught him.
Yusuke- (Quietly) We might all lose it before much longer.
Hiei- I lost it a long time ago.

* Kurama chuckles until he catches himself, then glances toward his friends, and moves
away. Yusuke studies the kitsune a moment, then goes back to sit down on the mattress
beside Hiei again. He looks at the koorime.

Yusuke- (Whisper) So... are you... you know...?
Hiei- Ready for more?
Yusuke- What?

* Hiei smirks at Yusuke a moment, then looks away rolling his eyes.

Hiei- (Quietly) Yes, Yusuke. I can feel the new life force inside me. Demons can
sense this type of thing nearly immediately upon conception.
Kurama- It aids a... mother.. in protecting... theirself accordingly.

* All three of them groan when the outer door grates open. Yusuke rises and moves up to
glare at Satjiyu.

Satjiyu- The human is just asleep. Relax, stud.

* Yusuke raises a hand to beckon Satjiyu over. The cat hesitates to heed him.

Yusuke- Eh, relax yourself,... Master... I got a request.

* Satjiyu goes over warily.

Satjiyu- You're ready to do the kitsune now?

* Kurama turns to look toward them, but remains silent, wondering himself what his
leader is up to.

Yusuke- I want to mate them both... Properly... I know Toushins aren't monog...
Satjiyu- No. That's not wise to do here, Mazoku.
Yusuke- Why the h--- not?
Satjiyu- Do I really need to elaborate on that? Your brain still muddled, stud?

* Yusuke hears Hiei's signature grunt and sighs. Satjiyu shakes his head and goes into
Kuwabara's cell. He easily lifts the now-lighter human and lays him back on the table.

Sabaktu- Master?

* Satjiyu glances at the boy as he secures Kuwabara.

Satjiyu- Yes, son?

* Satjiyu ignores Hiei's quiet growl, but Sabaktu half glances toward his true Father.

Sabaktu- What is that human to my Father?
Satjiyu- Nothing actually... Not here, anyways...
Sabaktu- I mean before. I know you used him to catch them...

* Now Satjiyu goes over to the dividing bars to look down at Sabaktu.

Satjiyu- They were teammates... Partners, so to speak... They worked for some baby... or something...

* Yusuke looks toward Satjiyu again, but doesn't comment.

Satjiyu- Other than that, Shiyounin hates all humans... As a matter of fact, there's not
a whole lot that your sire does care for... And that includes you, Boy, so don't delude yourself.

* Satjiyu leaves Kuwabara's cell to move around to open the door to Sabaktu's.

Satjiyu- In fact, I think it's time you went back up to your own quarters now.

* Sabaktu steps out of the cell and watches Hiei now stand to his feet again.

Sabaktu- I would still like it if you would bring him up with me.
Satjiyu- What?
Sabaktu- This is not a good place to carry a baby, Master... Please? If he don't come
I will stay down here.

* Satjiyu studies Sabaktu a long moment as he dwells on this new development.

Satjiyu- Very well. You do make a valid point. As long as your sire behaves himself
he'll be given the same care that you'll get.

* Satjiyu turns to look toward the camera a couple moments. Sabaktu moves to look in at
Hiei.

Sabaktu- You will come up out of here with me, won't you, Father?

* Satjiyu joins Sabaktu before Hiei can answer.

Satjiyu- Uwakionna Hiei, step out here.

* Satjiyu touches the bars. Hiei looks up toward Yusuke, who is too stunned to react,
as his legs take him out into the aisle. The tiger lifts Hiei's face to look at him.

Satjiyu- You will go with Sabaktu up to his quarters. You will sit on the couch until
I come up to check on you.

* Satjiyu nods to Sabaktu.

Yusuke- Hiei,...
Hiei- Take good care of our Fox, Detective.
Sabaktu- Come on, Father.

* Yusuke can only watch helplessly as Hiei leaves with Sabaktu. He then looks back up
at the tiger.

Satjiyu- The boy has learned his place... This is why I take such good care of him.
Yusuke- You seriously are deluded.
Satjiyu- And you are a d--- stubborn Toushin.

* As Satjiyu leaves a team of more white samue-clad demons come in and enter Kuwabara's
cell to begin collecting more of the human's semen. Yusuke numbly turns away from the
activity.

Kurama- I fear that we've... lost Hiei...
Yusuke- Oh do you really?!

* Yusuke now glares at Kurama until he watches him raise a hand to wipe at his bowed
face.

Yusuke- I'm sorry, Kurama... But I don't think we've lost him completely. Like you
guys said, this monster wants a whole army of our brats... So he can rule all of d---ed Demon World!! Well, right now, I really-really couldn't give a...
Kurama- (Quietly) Yusuke, please... don't...

* Yusuke quiets, then goes over to sit down against the back wall as close to Kurama as
he can.

Yusuke- (Quietly) I'm just... tired, Kurama... I'm tired, I'm hungry,... and I'm filthy...

* Kurama looks at Yusuke a moment.

Kurama- At least your hair is still impeccable.

* Slowly Yusuke tilts his head to look at Kurama.

Kurama- That worked... You need to hibernate for a while, Yusuke. Will you do that
for me, please?

* Yusuke takes a deep breath that turns into a yawn, then he nods.

Yusuke- Yeah, I think I will. I do my best thinking when I'm sleeping, anyway.

* Kurama just watches his leader slide down to stretch out on the mattress. He then
looks back through the bars toward Kuwabara's cell. For some reason, it doesn't really
surprise the kitsune when Honshin saunters in slowly. The wolf's yellow eyes look
directly into Kurama's after he glances casually toward the camera. It is pointed
toward Kuwabara's cell. Kurama takes note of this, also, but forces himself to stay
calm as much as he can.

Honshin- (Quietly) I've still got my eyes on you, Beauty.
Kurama- No crime in looking at what you can't touch.

* Honshin shakes his head with a quiet snarl.

Honshin- No, Fox, you're not going to trick me like that again.

* Kurama lowers his eyes.

Honshin- The Boss told me to bring you this.

* Kurama looks up to watch Honshin hold up a vial of Hot Juice, in a hand that's now
missing two fingers.

Honshin- He wants you to drink it up.

* The wolf bends and rolls the tube of liquid into Kurama's cell gently. Kurama freezes
a moment as he watches it roll to a stop not far from him.

Kurama- Yusuke is worn out. He just went into hibernation...
Honshin- If he can't do the job I'm sure Satji will find... someone else... willing to do the job.

* The wolf licks his lips then leaves, glancing back up toward the camera. Kurama
stands to begin pacing again, sidestepping around the tube as if it's a snake.
