Scene 29 ****************************************** Level Three

* Yusuke takes the opportunity, as he follows Satjiyu, to check the place out. In
the large elevator that Satjiyu had decided to use, the tiger leans in a corner and
checks Yusuke out. At first Yusuke ignores him, but finally he gets agitated enough
to look at the cat.

Yusuke- You got a problem?
Satjiyu- Is he getting heavy?

* Yusuke tightens his grip on the naked kitsune that he's carrying bridal-style.

Yusuke- No... Not as heavy as you'd be.

* The elevator stops, so Satjiyu ignores the jab. They get out into a wide hallway on
the third level of the huge complex. Yusuke looks up and down the fancily decorated
hallway, careful to conceal his awe.

Yusuke- Okay. So where is Hiei's room?
Satjiyu- Apartment.
Yusuke- What-the-h--- ever.
Satjiyu- Do you really want to see him?
Yusuke- Are you hard of hearing? He's pregnant to me, too. I want to check on him.

* Satjiyu looks away concentrating on something, then leers, and looks back down at
Yusuke.

Satjiyu- He's a little... preoccupied... But I can let you look in on him.

* Yusuke looks sideways up at the tiger. Satjiyu motions and leads Yusuke down the
hall to the right. After passing a few doors on either side they come to a stop in
front of one. Satjiyu half glances down at the Toushin then presses a button on a
control panel beside the door. A thin red beam shoots out of a small opening and
scans one of Satjiyu's tiger eyes. The solid plexiglass wall then turns clear. When
Yusuke looks through the plexiglass he is stunned speechless. Sabaktu is working
heavily on top of Hiei on the small bed in the small bedroom area.

Satjiyu- You want sound, too?

* Yusuke is so stunned that he doesn't respond until Satjiyu reaches for another
button.

Yusuke- (Squawked) No!

* The Toushin turns away from the scene numbly when Hiei's body arches with an
obviously loud moan.

Satjiyu- D---, I did train that boy good.

* Satjiyu chuckles as he returns the wall to normal. Yusuke tries to keep from
trembling.

Yusuke- (Quietly) If Hiei loses my baby...
Satjiyu- I've been in this business since your daddy was in diapers, stud... I'll know
when my Shiyounin's condition makes that activity too risky.

* Yusuke looks up at Satjiyu blankly.

Satjiyu- Your new home is just down here a couple doors.

* They continue on down the hall. Yusuke doesn't speak again until he's led into the
apartment that a white-clad staff demon motions them to. Satjiyu looks around the
clean, slightly larger living quarters. He then nods and waves a paw.

Satjiyu- This is your new home. It'll be perfect for you and your... Fox... The two
bedrooms are those two doors.

Yusuke- Did Hiei... agree to doing.. that.. with...?
Satjiyu- Not that it's any of your business, but yes. I told you, I know how to handle
Shiyounin.

* Satjiyu motions toward the kitchen area.

Satjiyu- The kitchen is over there. I've had the refrigerator stocked with various
types of healthy snacks for you and your kitsune. You'll have three main meals every day served through the compartment beside the sink.

* Yusuke looks around as Satjiyu gives his vocal tour.

Yusuke- No windows?

* Satjiyu looks down at Yusuke.

Satjiyu- Only way out is through the door you came in. Only ones that can open it are me or one of the staff... There's a speaker near the door if you ever need anything special...

* Yusuke tilts his head but Satjiyu holds up a paw.

Satjiyu- Give it a rest, already.

* Yusuke glances toward the front wall.

Yusuke- So... we'll be able to be... watched... from out there?
Satjiyu- You'll never know. The glass is one-way. You know what that means?

* Yusuke looks away, but nods.

Satjiyu- It's also warded just like the bars down in the dungeon were. Attack it and it
will reflect your attack back at you like a mirror... Understood?

* For a brief moment, Yusuke's mind travels back to a certain day in a certain
warehouse. He sighs disparingly.

Yusuke- Too d--- well... Is that the end of the tour?
Satjiyu- Basically, except for mentioning about the surveillance cameras in every
room.
Yusuke- (Muttered) Figures.

* When Yusuke heads toward one of the bedroom doors Satjiyu blinks ahead to open it for
him. Yusuke rolls his eyes.

Yusuke- How f---ing decent of you.

* Satjiyu watches Yusuke take Kurama over to the bed and situate him on it.

Satjiyu- How long has he been hibernating?
Yusuke- Only about an hour or so...

* Satjiyu checks his watch.

Satjiyu- It's close to dinner time right now... You'll know it's being served because
a buzzer will sound...
Yusuke- Hope it won't be as d--- annoying as that lousy door downstairs.

* Satjiyu chuckles, then turns when the main door opens again. The transport crew
arrives with Kuwabara on a stretcher.

Satjiyu- The human's here. Get him settled in the other bedroom. I'll be back up to
check on you in the morning. Your kitsune will probably still be out.

* Yusuke comes out of the bedroom.

Yusuke- You think so? Hiei wasn't out that long.
Satjiyu- His body needs to adjust to a litter of three or four.. not one... or two.

* Yusuke looks up from watching the crew carry his comatose friend into the empty
bedroom. Satjiyu smirks.

Satjiyu- Yeah... I know Shi's a twin.

* Yusuke just watches the tiger stroll out of the apartment whistling contentedly
once more.
