Antoinette Herrera aka poetisa: Thank you! ^^ I swear you know more about this fic than I do, just to show you what a bad writer I am .. I luv Quoth the Raven's fics too, they're sooo nice ^_^

CrYsTaL_sHaDe: Thank you!!! ^^

lobstersAHOY: Not having internet sucks! Right now I can only use a computer during weekdays! *sniff* Of course everything will be much faster when I get home (I'm visiting in another country right now) I agree that Karasu is a good villain and he's not half bad ^^ maybe I'll write a fic with him and Kurama as lovers. Well... you know what? You convinced me. I'll make this story longer by one or two chapters but that's the best I can do.

Thank you for reviewing, please review again!

"What do I do?" Yuusuke murmured to himself. "How am I supposed to know who I really love?"

'You know'

Surprised, Yuusuke eyed his surroundings.

"Who said that?"

'Don't you recognize your own voice?' The voice chuckled.

"I must be going crazy." Yuusuke sank further into the ground.

'Never mind that. You got to go save Kurama.'

"But..."

'But nothing, you and I both know that you love him.'

"What? I didn't..."

'Don't deny it. Remember how you much you think about him? Way more than you think about Keiko. And how aroused you get when he's near you.'

"Shut up!" Yuusuke blushed as he remembered how many cold showers he had to take before being married to Keiko and going to Kurama for comfort. Shuddering he also remembered how cruel he was to Kurama, all the names and the violence.

"He would never forgive me." Yuusuke whispered with a saddened heart.

'Then do something to make up for the times you mistreated him! Like going to rescue him?'

"What about Keiko?" Yuusuke voiced his biggest concern.

'First go rescue Kurama and then try to let her down gently. Kurama's life is at stake here.'

"You're right!" Yuusuke was suddenly brought back to reality. Directing all his anger towards Karasu, he proceeded to find Kurama and rescue him. From somewhere near, Hiei came into view. Smirking he retied his head band. "That gotta do the trick." With that comment he followed Yuusuke quietly. (I don't think he can do that but for the sake of the fic I'm gonna say that he can ^^''')

Karasu's place

"C'mon Kurama, isn't this fun?" Karasu chuckled darkly as he admired his own work.

Kurama was tied by the wrists and ankles with strong binds; after all he didn't want Kurama escaping during his fun would he? Kurama was currently half dressed and hanging from the ceiling, swaying a bit.

"Wakey wakey" Karasu whispered as he slapped Kurama awake.

"Umm... wah? Karasu, what did you do to me??!!" Kurama screamed in rage after surveying his condition.

"I didn't do much, the question you should ask is what I'm about to do to you." Karasu smirked mysteriously. "Of course, in times like this one should start by some physical torture and then proceed to emotional torture, wouldn't you agree?"

For some reason unknown to himself Kurama shivered.

From nowhere a rose whip appeared in Karasu's hand. "Will you look what I found when you were unconscious. Ow, that's gotta to hurt." Karasu noted with amusement as he let the rose whip creat lovely red marks all over Kurama's porcelain like skin.

Kurama refused to scream, he wouldn't give this creep the satisfaction, instead he just whimpered.

After god knows how many hours, Kurama lost count after the first, Karasu finally decided to give up. As Karasu observed Kurama again, he was content to see that the kitsune's body had no more unmarred surface except his face.

"Time to continue, Kurama." Eyes shining, Karasu continued his explanation to the half awake Kurama. "You see Kurama, I have been observing you for quite some time now and I have noticed your obssession with your teammate, Yuusuke isn't it? I have to admit that he did a rather good job in torturing you but it wasn't fun since it wasn't me doing it. Then I got thinking, how much would you suffer if you saw Yuusuke slowly dying in front of you? Would you beg me? I think it would be rather entertaining if we found out."

Kurama slowly awakened, pure rage building in his body. Karasu wouldn't dare to do that would he?

"So I'll leave you resting here and I'll be right back with Yuusuke." He turned to go but suddenly an alarm sounded. Opening a screen he looked on with mild interest. "And what would you know? It seems that our friend Yuusuke decided to drop in uninvited."

Kurama was filled with terror; he prayed for Yuusuke to go away.

Despite of Kurama's prayers Yuusuke was determined to find him and rescue him.

Without a word Karasu turned and left; the smirk never disappearing from his face.

************

Moment's later...

Karasu returned with an unconscious Yuusuke. Quickly he noted that Kurama had fallen asleep. He opened a door and tied Yuusuke the same way he had done to Kurama; the two rooms were separated by a huge glass sheet. Kurama and Yuusuke would both be able to see each other yet not able to do anything else. "The show is about to begin."
