Guess who comes in this chappie!
Yokou Kurama sat at a bar, having his seventh drink in less than an hour. He wished he couldn't hold liquor so well; he wanted to forget everything for a while. But he couldn't. He sat staring at the trinket, the thing Kuronue had lost his life for. It was so little, not worth dying over. He missed his friend with all his heart.
Finally, the drinks started to take their toll. He felt himself slipping away...
"Did you hear about King Sairu's new prisoner?" Yokou half-listened as the men talked about the King's fetish with torturing the prisoner. It didn't matter anyway.
"So, all they know about him is he's a theif that they caught in a bamboo trap." Yokou's eyes shot open, and any liquor coursing through his system was immediately forgotten. He stormed over to the men.
"Tell me all you know."
Yokou was almost at his limit. Ever since he'd disguised himself as a human, gotten here, and signed up as a guard, all of the stupid human guards had been flirting nonstop. All Yokou wanted to do was find Kuronue and leave. But it was proving hard not to be too anxious to see the prisoner. Suddenly they heard shouting.
"GUARDS! GET IN THERE AND HURT HIM! I WANT HIM BROKEN BY SUNDOWN OR HEADS WILL BE SEPARATED FROM BODIES!" He turned steely eyes on Yokou.
"Who are you?"
"I just signed up, Sire." The King glared at him.
"Go with them. They will show you what to do." Yokou nodded, saluted, and ran off after the other guards. One look in the King's eyes had shown him how badly Kuronue needed to be saved. The lust mixed with rage in those orbs was enough to make anyone shiver.
Yokou stopped dead when he heard the cries of agony. Kuronue. No doubt about it. Yokou ran into the room, rage barely kept in check. Kuronue hung in chains against the wall, a whip marring his once perfect flesh. Yokou's eyes widened as he saw the older marks, the ones made deep.
"Talk, scum!" Kuronue cried out again as the whip created another deep laceration. It seemed like eternity before the whip was dropped.
"No good. Let's come back later. We've got to think of another way to do this." The leader turned to Yokou.
"Stay here and guard him, would ya? We're going to find something else to try." Yokou only nodded. After the rest left, he went to Kuronue. The theif's eyes were blank and pain-filled. Yokou felt his own eyes filling with tears.
"Kuro..." Kuronue's head barely lifted.
"Who...?" Yokou unlocked the chains and helped Kuronue slide gently to the ground. The Chimera looked up, to see Yokou pull off his disguise. Kuronue smiled, something he hadn't been able to do for weeks.
"Yo..."
"Yeah, Kuro. It's me. I'm getting you out of here. But first, those who hurt you are going to pay. I promise."
Yoru: I wrote this really fast at midnight, so if it's not up to speed, sorry.
Kuronue: Yokou!
Yokou: Kuronue!
Kuronue: Yokou!
Yokou: Kuronue!
(And so on all night.)
Yoru: I shall be forced to gag you both with a spatula if you don't SHUT UP and let me sleep!
Kuronue: I shall invade your sleep forever...muaha...
Yokou: OO
Yoru: Ooo...kinky...
Kuronue: Not like that you sicko...
Yoru: pout
