I really didn't like doing that last scene, either, but I'm afraid I do have to extend on it a bit. I was very nervous about how it would be received. As I stated before, I DO NOT condone such activities in real life. Please, I don't mean to offend anyone. This is just a fantasy story. (Takes a deep breath)

Now, let's move on, shall we

Scene 26 --------------------------------------------------- Later That Day

Satjiyu enters his office checking his watch. Honshin glances at him from the couch.

Honshin- Hey, Boss. D---, you ought to see the Mazoku plowing that kitsune.

Satjiyu sits down beside the wolf and grabs the remote off of him.

Satjiyu- Duh.

He switches the feed to Sabaktu's quarters.

Honshin- There you go and...
Satjiyu- Shut up... Those two will be at it for a couple more days at least... This is
more important.

Satjiyu sees that Hiei is still on the couch, but he is sitting up now. Sabaktu is
pacing in the kitchen area.

Honshin- I could go down and watch them in person.
Satjiyu- No.
Honshin- But...

Satjiyu sighs and looks at the wolf.

Satjiyu- Don't make me kill you.

Honshin heeds the threat and shuts up. Just in time for them to hear Hiei begin to
talk.

Hiei- I told you that I don't blame you, Son.
Sabaktu- I should have resisted!
Hiei- You have no idea what resistance is, Sabaktu... You were never taught to control your instincts... I doubt that was an oversight on the b------'s part.
Sabaktu- Don't talk to me.

Hiei looks at the agitated boy. Honshin looks at Satjiyu.

Honshin- What are you waiting on with these two now?
Hiei- We both know that you will desire to do that again...

Satjiyu smirks.

Satjiyu- That.

Honshin looks back toward the screen. Sabaktu shakes his head quickly.

Sabaktu- No, I can't...

Sabaktu growls, but keeps pacing to preoccupy himself. Satjiyu chuckles and
touches the intercom on the sidetable.

Satjiyu- Give Sabaktu that lit Euphoria joint now.

When the serving panel near the sink slides up with a thunk Sabaktu turns to look
at it. At first the boy snarls and turns away. Hiei catches the scent that waifs from
the serving compartment. He closes his eyes and refuses to go grab the joint.

Satjiyu- (Quietly) Get the d--- joint, Sabie!

Sabaktu hesitates.

Satjiyu- (Quietly) Now!! Unless you want me to come back over there.

Sabaktu whines, shakes his head, then moves to get the joint.

Sabaktu- (Quietly) That's it... Good boy... Inhale deeply, son... Make sure to share
with your loving father, too.

After a couple drags, Sabaktu feels himself starting to relax. The boy finally sighs
and goes over to sit down beside Hiei. Another deep drag, then he looks timidly at
Hiei, offering it to him.

Sabaktu- I don't understand... One part tells me that I should... honor you... You're
my Father,.. my true Father!

Sabaktu glares up at the camera and Hiei takes the joint from him to get his
attention back quickly. Sabaktu turns on the couch to face Hiei as the koorime
takes a short drag, not wanting to get too much in his system.

Sabaktu- But then there's this new feeling... It.. it's almost... overwhelming...
Hiei- I told you, Sabaktu. We're demons... We're ruled by instincts.
Sabaktu- B-but you s-said... we can resist...

Sabaktu reaches for the joint again. When Hiei holds it away slightly Sabaktu growls,
feeling that same surge of dominance flaring inside him again. Hiei relents and lets
him take the joint.

Hiei- Yes, I could have... I could have resisted this s--- and blew all of us to h---...
Sabaktu- Then why didn't you?!

Sabaktu takes another deep drag. The joint begins to do its job and Sabaktu slowly
loses the battle to resist the surge of dominance. He stands to look down on Hiei.
In turn, the older koorime doesn't resist his instinct to "cower" under his defeater.

Sabaktu- Answer me, d--- you!!
Hiei- My honor prevented it... I chose to accept my defeat at your hands. I told you, I
conceded.

Sabaktu studies Hiei for a long moment, trying to sort out his clouding thoughts. He
soon drops the joint on the floor and crushes it out. When Hiei refuses to raise his
eyes to challenge him he snatches him up off the couch. Hiei still keeps his eyes
lowered as Sabaktu snarls at him with calm aggression.

Hiei- (Whisper) This is what he wants, Sabie.
Sabaktu- Then look at me...! Let's settle this the right way!

Hiei realizes that the boy is still crying out for him to challenge him. To reclaim
his "rightful" position. For a brief moment Hiei struggles with the urge to do so,
but then he shakes his head. He knows that it would only bring the tiger's wrath on
his son again.

Hiei- (Quietly) No, Son... I-I won't... fight you. I won't risk the lives of our babies... or yours.

Sabaktu snarls louder.

Sabaktu- Fine!! Then I suppose I shouldn't fight my desire, either! My desire to
celebrate my victory over your pathetic, old a--!!

Without a struggle Hiei allows Sabaktu to force him back down onto the couch. In
his mind, Hiei knows that the joint has brought this on. He also knows that every
time he'll give in to Sabaktu that it'll help the boy to accept his dominant instincts.
Hiei offers his throat to Sabaktu's hungry mouth as he sighs. He knows one more
thing for sure, as well. This is all a part of Satjiyu's plans. When Sabaktu's
youkai senses that Hiei isn't fighting him he forces himself back to stare down at him
panting.

Sabaktu- (Whisper) Father,... I.. I still respect you... I will...!
Hiei closes his eyes, nods, and quickly but gently pulls the boy's mouth back down to
his own. In the tiger's office, Honshin swallows and looks at Satjiyu again.

Honshin- D---.

Satjiyu chuckles and nods, pleased with the developements that are going according to
his plans.

Satjiyu- Yeah. The drug will keep Sabie going for a couple hours, I figure. The longer
he's on Hiei the more sure his instincts will become... It'll get easier for him to take his b---- father anytime he wants to.

Honshin moans and looks back toward the screen.

Honshin- So, we're in for some real hot action over the next couple days...?
Satjiyu- Oh yeah. Maybe this'll get your mind off the kitsune.
Honshin- Who?

Satjiyu stands laughing as the wolf tilts his head to continue watching the "hot
action" that continues on the couch in Sabaktu's quarters.

Satjiyu- Thought so.
Honshin- Thank you, Boss. Thank you for confining me here to your office.
Satjiyu- Sure. Enjoy. Just clean up any mess you make. I have some other b----es to go check up on.

Honshin nods distractedly as Satjiyu leaves.
