Atopos - This is based on an icon I'm sure everyone has seen at some point. It was just too good to pass up, so here it is: The question that is on everyone's mind. P.S. I own nothing but the bitter hope I get to see Kurama in my dreams from time to time.


Prison

The first major event Yusuke could remember in his life – that he would admit scared him – was when he met Hiei and Kurama. The two were good friends, trusting allies, and powerful demonic thieves. At that time, he knew that Kurama could kill him with a simple flick of his wrist and Hiei was not afraid to wipe out an entire city full of humans.

He was happy to hear that both demons got off with good behaviour; they were just on parole. Yusuke had a feeling that it would not take much before Hiei would go back to Spirit World prison; Kurama, on the other hand, would only go back there if he desperately wanted to see Hiei and wished to share the punishment with him.

Yusuke sat on the grass with his three good friends stretched out beside him. He had to ask the question. It would make for good conversation and would give them all a laugh…well, except Hiei. "Hey Kurama," he began, catching the fox's green, tired eyes.

"Yusuke," Kurama muttered softly.

"If you and Hiei were sent to prison for good," Yusuke started seriously, "which of you would be the other's prison bitch?"

Both Hiei and Kurama's eyes widened. Hiei was the one to speak first. "What the hell kind of question is that?"

Yusuke brushed off Hiei's burning death glare with a shrug. "I dunno. I just wanted to know. Would it be you, Hiei?"

Kuwabara burst into laughter. "Probably. Kurama has shorty whipped."

Yusuke shook his head defiantly. "I bet it would be Kurama. He's the pretty one. He might have Hiei whipped, but unless he's Youko, he can't top anyone in bed, especially Hiei."

"Hey!" Kurama rebutted, "I'll have you know I've 'topped' Hiei plenty of time before. He just likes being the man."

Hiei closed his eyes, then opened one to look at Kurama on his right. "Believe me, fox, I am the manlier one in our relationship. I could make you my bitch easily."

"Well then," Kurama turned to face the opposite direction with his nose in the air, "I'd have to make sure I got a different cell than you. Maybe I could have my own lover that way."

"Aw, come on, Kurama," Kuwabara chuckled. "It's better for you to be owned by Hiei than some other dirty, short demon."

"I suppose," Kurama gave in reluctantly. "But I can still beat you even if it's not in sex."

"Of course," Hiei mumbled. "I wouldn't have it any other way, my stupid, foxy prison bitch."

That was the moment that Yusuke decided that it was best for their sanity, Hiei's health, and Kurama's self-esteem that this subject should never be talked about again.
