Meeting the Rain
Ch10: Awakened on Both Sides

Yusuke sat on the couch by the lamp listening to Setsuna tell him what she knew about SDF situation, even though she didn't know much, when his communicator rang. Yusuke answered it, "What is it, Koenma?" Yusuke flipped it open.

Koenma appeared on the screen, "Yusuke, I need to you to come to my office right away, it's urgent."

"Okay, okay, don't piss in your diaper. I'll be right there. Open a portal for me." Yusuke stood up.

"Right away." Koenma said then a portal appeared in Yusuke's living room. Yusuke closed the communicator and put it in his pocket. He looked over at the easy chair to see that Setsuna was gone. He couldn't sense her energy in the apartment or anywhere nearby. Yusuke walked through the portal with a look of confusion.

"Okay Koenma what's this all about?" Yusuke asked once the whole team was in the office.

"I have just received word that the entire SDF army has been killed almost an hour ago," Koenma picked up a file.

"How can that be, the entire army?" Kurama was curious now. Koenma nodded and also explained that an entire region in the Spirit World was destroyed as well.

"Kurama, now do we tell him?" Yusuke wondered through telepathy.

"No, let's not tell him just yet, Yusuke." The red head replied. Yusuke nodded slightly and cut off the link.

"Oh by the way Yusuke, would you mind telling me why you didn't bring in Setsuna Kaminari like I asked?" The Spirit World prince looked at the Spirit Detective.

"She wasn't there when I got there." Yusuke answered without even batting an eye.

Koenma nodded, "I want her brought in, is that understood?"

"Yeah, yeah I hear ya." Yusuke brushed him off.

Koenma scowled, "I want you to go to what's left of the region and see if you can find anything that might give us a lead to who destroyed it." Koenma stood on his desk.

"Kurama, I know who did it." Yusuke stated through telepathy.

"Setsuna told you, yes?" Kurama glanced at Yusuke out of the corner of his eye.

"Yeah, she said her uncle took out the region but she wasn't sure who took the SDF morons out though." Yusuke looked at him.

"Are you sure about that detective?" Hiei wondered, arching a brow at him.

"Positive." Yusuke nodded slightly again. Hiei looked at him for a minute then looked away.

Yusuke came home later after the assignment; they found nothing. Setsuna's sudden departure from his apartment led him to start questioning a few things; was she really telling him the truth? Was she really there to help him and his team? Was Kuwabara right, is she trying to set him up?

Yusuke sighed as he sat down on the couch. He looked up to see Setsuna, "Where did you disappear to earlier?" He frowned at her.

Setsuna looked at him; something seemed to be bothering her, "My father wanted to see me." She replied.

"And?" Yusuke looked at her.

"He has Makoto…" Setsuna stated.

"Who's Makoto?" Yusuke asked.

"My sister."

"Who has her? Oh shit." Yusuke realized who she was talking about.

"Aye…" Setsuna sat down, "I thought for sure she'd be alright. She was sent after my Uncle to take him out, but she never came back."

"Will he hurt her?"

"I don't know…I don't know." Setsuna said. "My father is calling all dispersed warriors, agents, etc. back until we come up with a way to save my sister and with a new battle plan. I have to go home for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can." Setsuna stood up with Yusuke. Yusuke nodded.

Setsuna turned when he grabbed her wrist, she looked at him. "Tell him that we can help you save your sister." Yusuke said.

"You'd help us?"

"All four of us." Yusuke nodded, "I'll talk to the guys, and we'll work something out."

Setsuna hugged him, "Thank you, Honey."

"You're welcome." Yusuke hugged her back. Setsuna pulled away, smiled at him, and disappeared in a flash of color.

############

"This mission is getting out of hand." Yusuke sat down on the couch. Yusuke's mind wandered to thoughts of Setsuna. Yusuke thought about how her eyes shined when she smiled at him, how her hair fell over her shoulders when she moved, and how she called him "honey" with a voice like silk. He thought back to the kiss from over an hour ago; how she roamed his mouth with her tongue like a hungry predator, how her ample chest pressed against his when he pulled her against him, how her delicate fingers pulled his hair to make him lose focus so she could take control of the kiss. Yusuke suddenly felt…aroused, very aroused. He began to conjure up visions of her and him in his bed, him fucking her hard and her screaming his name in pure pleasure. Yusuke groaned when he felt himself harden. Yusuke smacked himself. The visions disappeared. "Get a grip on yourself Yusuke." He told himself, "She's your ally, your friend. You don't love her. Love doesn't exist. Keiko proved that for you."

Yusuke sighed, he reached for the phone on the side table. He dialed a number, "Hey Kurama. It's me." Yusuke kept thinking about Setsuna, he kept getting harder, his head throbbed, his stomach felt off.

"Yusuke, is everything all right? You sound like you don't feel well."

"I don't, Kurama," Yusuke groaned as his forehead fell into his open palm, his arm braced up by the elbow, which rested on his knee, "Is it alright if I come over?"

"Of course it is."

############

Yusuke walked through the screen door that was left unlocked for him. He went up the stairs, down the hall, and went into Kurama's room, "Yo, K'rama." Yusuke greeted the Kitsune. He saw Hiei seating in the window seat and Kuwabara on Kurama's bed, "Hey guys."

"Hey Urameshi, how ya doing?" Kuwabara grinned at him, the grin disappeared when he saw that Yusuke was sweating when it was sixty something degrees outside.

"I was doing fine until I got home from Koenma's office." Yusuke replied.

"What happened?" Hiei asked.

"Setsuna came by and said she had to go home for a while because Makoto, her sister, has been captured by their uncle. Then…"

"Then… what, Yusuke?" Kurama pressed. Yusuke looked at Hiei and Kurama. Kurama and Hiei looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

Kurama looked at Kuwabara, "Hey Kuwabara, why don't you go get us some beers."

"Uh…yeah sure, I'll be right back." Kuwabara left the room.

"Alright detective, you better make it fast." Hiei said.

"A little bit after she left I started feeling weird." Yusuke sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Weird? How, Yusuke?" Kurama tucked a strand of hair behind his ear.

"Horny, but not like I used to around Keiko; I just flirted with her when that happened. I felt so horny that I started thinking of me and her in bed, I almost went after her. Then my head and stomach started to hurt like a bitch, they still are." Yusuke didn't look at either of them, this was embarrassing for him to tell them, but he wanted to know what was happening to him, and why. And he knew if anybody could tell him what was going on with him it would be Hiei and Kurama. He wiped the sweat away from his forehead and the back of his neck.

"Who, detective?" Hiei looked at Yusuke with his arms crossed over his chest.

Kurama thought over what the younger boy just told him and Hiei, "Is it possible that the demon side of him has also been aroused...has Setsuna triggered it?" Kurama watched Yusuke blush. "Tell us who, Yusuke." Kurama said.

"…Setsuna…" Yusuke replied, memories of their kiss feeling his head, he harden more when he thought he was fully erect. He looked up to see Hiei and Kurama reactions to his answer. Surprise was all over their faces.

"So I was correct…" Kurama thought inwardly then spoke aloud, "You see Yusuke, whenever you were with Keiko only your human side was excited, but being near Setsuna not only is your human side excited but your Mozaku side as well." Kurama explained. Hiei nodded.

"Does it have something to do with the both of us being Mozakus?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes. Keiko could only arouse your human side because she was a human and humans are rarely able to excite demons. Your Mozaku half is aroused as well as your human half merely because she just has that effect on you and plus you're in love with her, detective. Your demon half is mainly aroused because she's also a demon, also a Mozaku." Hiei said.

"I'm in love with her? How can that be when love doesn't exist?" Yusuke wondered.

The other two looked at each other, and then at Yusuke again. "Do you really believe love doesn't exist, Yusuke?" Kurama studied the boy's face.

"If it did then me and Keiko would be together." Yusuke said.

Hiei rolled his eyes, "Detective, you two are no longer together, because she simply wasn't the right onna for you. But it appears to me you've found the onna you're looking for."

Yusuke looked at him then at Kurama then at his lap, "I don't know Kurama…I don't know…how can I love her when I barely know her?"

Kuwabara came in with four beers in his arms.
