Captured!

Scene 28 ****************************************** Two Days Later

* Yusuke nuzzles his sleeping kitsune's neck as he wakes up. As the Toushin becomes
more alert he scrunches his nose up at the pungent mixture of sweat, semen, and roses
that he gets. Then something registers in Yusuke's brain and he raises up onto an
elbow to look down at Kurama. Of course, he, himself, don't smell much better after
the whirlwind of sex they've had the past couple days. But this is not what Yusuke
considers. Yusuke looks up when the outer door creaks.

Yusuke- (Muttered) D--- it not again...

* He growls quietly when Satjiyu saunters in. The tiger merely gives the filthy,
redheaded human a glance as he passes his cell. He still takes note that Kuwabara has
grown considerably skinnier from lack of eatting and the not-so-lacking sexual
activity. Satjiyu shakes his head and shrugs as he continues over to look in on
his "more important" pair of breeders.

Satjiyu- Is he still in heat?

* Yusuke hesitates, then looks back down at Kurama. The kitsune is in a deep
hibernation.

Yusuke- No... I don't smell it on him anymore.
Satjiyu- Congratulations, daddy.

* Yusuke glares up at Satjiyu.

Satjiyu- How about we make a deal before you go all feral on me, Mazoku?

* Yusuke doesn't answer.

Satjiyu- (Shrugs) Of course, if you'd rather have the kitsune give birth to his litter
down here in this place...

* Now Yusuke sits up, no longer concerned about his nudity.

Yusuke- H--- no... I'm listening, you son of a b----.

* Satjiyu chuckles in his usual confident manner.

Satjiyu- I really don't mind you having a little spirit, Mazoku...
Yusuke- My name is Yusuke...
Satjiyu- Okay... Yusuke... I'm sure you realize by now that there's really no escape
for any of you.
Yusuke- You can shove that thought up your a--...
Satjiyu- (Sighs) Toushins aren't well-known for their stubbornness for nothing...
Yusuke- What's your d--- deal?

* Satjiyu studies Yusuke for a moment.

Satjiyu- If you agree to come along... and behave yourself... I'll take you both up to a
much nicer apartment. I have one already prepared for you and the Fox.

* Yusuke looks back down at Kurama.

Satjiyu- Otherwise, you can stay down here and watch your human friend rot... Have
your babies down here...

* Yusuke thinks things through as carefully as he can, then gets an idea. He looks
back up at Satjiyu.

Yusuke- I'll agree if you bring Kuwabara up out of here, too. I'm not going to leave my
friend down here in this place. Rotting or not.

* Satjiyu raises a paw to rub his chin thoughtfully as he glances back toward Kuwabara's
cell. He finally shrugs.

Satjiyu- He's refusing to eat... We both know he won't last much longer...
Yusuke- You've made enough money off of him, you a--!

* Satjiyu meets Yusuke's eyes.

Satjiyu- So you're telling me that you want to watch him die?

* Yusuke looks toward Kuwabara's cell somberly. His mind recalls the conversation
he and Kurama had when the kitsune's heat began.

Yusuke- No, I don't... But I do want him to be comfortable for... whatever time he has
left.
Satjiyu- He still has a few customers in line... Will you agree not to interfere with his servicing? If so, I can move you three into a double bedroom apartment... I'll
even put you on the same floor as my little Shiyounin.

* Yusuke looks back up at Satjiyu a long moment, then he nods.

Yusuke- You have a deal... if you keep your word this time.
Satjiyu- That's using your brain, stud... But just to be safe... Yusuke's collar, activate.

* As the tiger watches Yusuke return to his more human form he raises a walkie-talkie
to speak into it.

Satjiyu- He accepted the deal. But I'm going to put him in a double bedroom on level
three. Send a transport crew to get the human and bring him up to the same room.

* When his transformation is complete Yusuke gathers Kurama up and carries him
toward the bars.

Satjiyu- Understand something else, Toushin. If anything should happen to me, my guy Honshin is well-prepared to handle it... Understood?

* Yusuke doesn't answer as he meets the tiger's eyes unflinchingly.

Satjiyu- Trust me, you really.. really don't want that wolf getting his hands on your...
Fox... Wolves eat foxes.

* Yusuke hmphs.

Yusuke- Alright, Masterprick. I get it.

* Satjiyu nods and touches the bars.

Satjiyu- Bars, disappear.

* When they do Satjiyu motions and turns to leave. Yusuke looks toward Kuwabara
again then follows the cat.

Believe it or not, faithful readers, we are coming close to the end of this. But you've heard the old saying, though, "It always gets darker before the dawn". :o/

I'm hurrying through with these quickly, because I want to get on to "The Aftermath" (hint) :o)
