Yoru: Hi! Me again! New Kuronue fic! Love Kuronue!
Kuronue: The way you torture me in your last fic somehow brings doubts to my mind.
Yoru: I only torture things I love.
Yokou: You sound like Karasu.

Yokou: Now, now, Yoru, you're giving him to me for this fic.

Kuronue: Eep!

Yokou Kurama looked out over the prostrate forms of the surviving villagers lying in rows. He and his bands had raided a village of Chimeras, killing most and taking what they pleased. About 37 lay before him, some wounded. His eye was caught by one near the middle. He walked over for a closer look.
Thick, black hair spread on the ground in almost artistic patterns, tied back in a high ponytail. The lithe, willowy bat demon lay facedown on the ground, velvet ribbons tied about the arms giving a rakish appearance. Yokou knelt down and lifted the Chimera's head.
He was shocked by the color of this bat's eyes. They were a deep shade of indigo, lovely and inticing. Yokou was entranced by those eyes, set in a beautiful face. But his awe was abated as sharp teeth sank into his finger. He yanked his hand away, watching those eyes fill with savage pleasure at causing the bandit leader pain. A member of Yokou's band raised a sword to kill the offender, but Yokou held up a hand.
"No. Leave him be." He stood.
"Kill all of them. Except this one. Bind and blindfold him. Once we get to the camp, beat him soundly and bring him to me." Cries and screams echoed around him as the orders were carried out. He watched the now-captive's struggles as his hands were bound behind him, his ankles were tied together and a blindfold was tied around his head. A bandit picked the prisoner up and threw him roughly over his shoulder. Yokou smirked. How fun it was going to be to break that spirit.
Yokou sat in his tent and waited. Sounds of someone dragging someone else reached his ears, and he smiled in anticipation. After another few seconds, a bandit dragged the prisoner in, shoving him roughly to his knees at Yokou's feet. The prisoner's hands were still bound behind him, though his feet had been untied. His head hung; he was unwilling to look Yokou in the eyes. Yokou jerked his head at the guard, who grabbed the prisoner's thick hair and yanked his head up harshly. The Chimera clenched his teeth, barely stopping a cry of pain.Yokou examined him closely. Bruises were starting to form on his face and torso, and his lip was bleeding.
"What's your name, Chimera?" No answer. Yokou stood and approached the prisoner. A swift backhand lashed across the bat demon's face. The pain was doubled by the hold on his hair. A muffled cry came from between the prisoner's teeth.
"Tell me." He heard the captive mumble something. He smirked.
"Didn't quite catch that." The captive growled at him.
"Kuronue." Yokou's smirk widened. He was getting somewhere.
