Yusuke had never actually seen Touya as a particular enemy to be mistrusted and fought, and was quick to see what happened when he noticed a very battered-looking Touya lying at the opening of the cave. Touya was, for all appearances, dead, but with patience Yusuke was able to discern the faint youki within the frail body, now that he concentrated on it.
Yusuke began to lift Touya's emaciated body, and blushed violently when he noticed Touya to be stark naked. Clearing his throat, he wrestled Touya's pants onto their owner's small body and he piled the rest of Touya's various articles on top of Touya. Yusuke picked Touya up and carefully carried him back to the hotel ((?)) he was staying at. He wondered where Touya's team mates were, but at the moment, it didn't matter, now did it?
Meeting Kurama in the lobby, Yusuke told Kurama to find Yukina, a needless order since Kurama quickly rushed off to do just that.
While he waited, Yusuke brought Touya up to his room and laid Touya, carefully, on his futon. Yusuke pulled the covers over Touya, and then went off to make some tea and soup in the little kitchen area of his team's rooms.
Finished, Yusuke brought the goods in to find Touya sitting up carefully, head in his hands, and eyes closed, tears dripping from the shut lids. They came fast and hot, leaving clear tracks down the cool yet flaming cheeks.
Now that less urgency pervaded the situation, Yusuke finally took a full inventory of Touya's wounds. Bruises covered his chest, one eye was black and swollen, his cheeks also were bruised and the imprint of a hand still shone brightly red on one of his cheeks. Scars adorned him head to toe, and Yusuke was already too familiar with the marred appearance of Touya's legs, and, err, other areas best not hurt. Touya's normally neat hair was unbelievably tousled, and later Yusuke would also notice that, had Touya pupils, they would have been dilated, instead, his irises were larger than normal, and red lined fringed well his eyes, that hardly any white should show between the red and blue. Purplish blood stained Touya entire body, and another substance, white and sticky, smeared Touya's hands and face, a substance Yusuke did not fail to recognize.
Having observed all this in a matter of moments, Yusuke sat on the edge of the futon near Touya, and handed the tea and soup to Touya. "Here," Yusuke said quietly, and Touya nodded slightly, opening his eyes for the first time yet, showing them devoid of life, as he nodded slightly and accepted the tea, holding off on the soup for a few moments.
Touya sipped the warm liquid, wincing slightly-a little too warm perhaps, though he was as tolerant as any ningen with regards to heat. He drank the rest quite quickly, letting the drink burn down and cleanse his mouth of the bitter taste that still filled it after three days lying as though dead.
He then took the soup; still glad of the warmth that helped his hands feel cleaner after all that had happened, and ate the soup more slowly then he had drunk his tea, savoring it after going so long fasting. ((Does one eat soup? Or drink it? Nay but... my god! LOL word games! How now! Chop logic! Must ask my English teacher bout that...))
Kurama finally returned after having found Yukina just as Touya was finishing his soup. Not a single word had passed the whole time as Yusuke watched, alert to any sign of a fixable discomfort. When Yukina saw Touya's pitiable state, she cried out, Kurama said Touya looked bad, but nothing would have prepared her for such as it was. "Touya! What happened?" she yelled. Touya blinked and shook his head, a trembling sigh the only sound he made. Kurama and Yusuke looked on worriedly as Yukina began checking over her small patient. She soon sent all ((Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara, the latter two having come along when Kurama had fetched Yukina)) but Yusuke off to the kitchen. No entreaties could be made of Touya to bring him to speak as yet, so Yukina began asking Yusuke of the circumstances he found Touya in as she rubbed various creams and poultices over the wounds and bruises, and bandaged them carefully, yet tightly.
"Where was he?" – Yukina.
"Lying in front of a cave." – Yusuke.
"Was he conscious?" – Yukina.
"Not unless he just thought it would be more fun to see what I would do if I didn't know he was." – Yusuke.
"When did you find him?" – Yukina.
"I guess... about two hours ago? Yeah, I think so..." – Yusuke.
"Any idea what happened?" – Yukina.
"Considering how beat-up he is and the fact he didn't have any clothes on at the time... I'm guessing he was raped and beaten." – Yusuke.
"Who?" – Yukina.
"My guess is as good as yours." – Yusuke.
"Who, touya?" – Yukina.
Touya refused to answer, simply shaking his head and sighing again.
