Chapter 27: Poison Envy
/I've been better. I'm just glad she used the poison on our human self instead of you. We would've been in deeper trouble./
Poison Ivy laughed again. "Alright. It won't hurt to tell you as you won't be able to use it. His name is Yoko."
Yoko growled as he leapt his hiding place. The silver fox with many tails changed into his silver human form as he landed between Yusuke and Poison Ivy. "You lie, woman! I am NOT your partner," he growled as he activated the seeds on her, trapping her on her lounge as the vines fell away from his friends.

Yoko noticed a particular seed in the midst of the others she had by her. An eyebrow went up as a plan formed.
/Could she be planning on using that/
'I don't know Red. It's ours now.' He activated the seed without moving from his spot. Yusuke and Batman came up to stand by him.
"Uhhh Yoko?" Yusuke asked, a bit nervously. "Care to tell me what's going on? Did you form a partnership with her? Your mother's pretty shaken when we found her."
Yoko chuckled. "Yusuke. We're fine. I was able to get the antidote in time. Thankfully, they poisoned my human side. It wasn't as deadly as it could've been."
Batman narrowed his gaze at the struggling woman and the growing plant beside her. He hadn't said anything, yet. Now that Yoko had shown himself. The plants obey him instead of Ivy.
Yusuke also turned his gaze. "What is this shit?"
"Really, Yusuke. Your mouth," Yoko chided, turning his gaze to the growing plant. "That is an aphrodisiac plant. It's very rare and can only be found in the Makai."
Poison Ivy stopped struggling when she saw the pulsating purple and silver plant starting to bloom. Its sweet perfume filled the dank room. A puff erupted from the blooms, showering her with its glittering pollen. Yoko chuckled. "There. She'll be more malleable to questions."
Walking up to the flowering plant he took the empty vial that once contained the antidote and filled it with the plant's nectar. "Never know when this will come in handy," he purred, as he de-activated the plant, returning it to its seed. "Now then little weed. Tell me all about your lover."
"Lover?" Yusuke asked coming up beside Yoko.
"Yes. Yusuke. Use your nose. You can smell his scent on her and in her."
Yusuke took a deep breathe and said, "Yomi."
o0o0o0o0o
Poison Ivy's head reeled with dizziness. She started to giggle. What is going on? Her body ached for something. Hands roamed her body, seeking, touching. It felt wonderful. She moaned softly. Off in the distance she heard a soft sensual voice purring.
"Who's your lover, little weed?" the voice purred.
"Yoko," she replied.
"Describe him for me, little weed?"
"He's tall, good looking, sexy, with things growing out of his dark hair. His eyes. . . I wish I could see them but he keeps them closed. Powerful. . . so powerful . . . his hands. . . they make me crazy. . ." She relaxed into those hands. They were doing wonderful things to her body. She moaned softly as they found a sensitive spot.
"What does he want with Kurama?"
"A child to replace his son who was too stupid to get out of the way. He plans to raise another son more powerful then the last. With Kurama's and his DNA, the match would be perfect," she replied. She heard an intake of breathe. The hands on her body tighten and she moaned with pleasure. "That feels so good. . . "
o0o0o0o0o
Yoko, Batman and Yusuke watched as she withered in the vines, moaning as if in throes of passion. The vines moved on her body, contorting her in interesting positions.
"Crap, Yoko. What did you do to her?" Yusuke asked.
The silver fox chuckled, placing a hand on his side. leaning slightly to deal with the pain. "She's in her own little world of passion, Yusuke. The plant's pollen acts like an aphoristic hallucinating drug. She'll answer anything I ask of her, thinking that I'm having sex with her."
Batman came up and placed a hand on Yoko's shoulder. "We need to finish this. She needs to be turned over to the authorities."
Yoko smirked. "No I have a better idea."
o0o0o0o0o
Batman walked outside as the building started to explode or rather implode. Yoko was having a field day with the destruction.
He wasn't happy with the plan but Yoko had been right. Someone with Ivy's abilities to manipulate plants but not the training was a danger to herself and to everyone around her. Then add in that she was also mentally unstable really made it a dangerous mix. Also, she consorted with someone from the Makai and involved innocent civilians. Yomi broke demon and spirit world law by recruiting her. Maybe it was for the best.
He heard sirens of both police, fire trucks, and bomb squad in the distance as he moved into the shadows to wait. Gordon should be here soon. He won't be pleased with the destruction.
Out of the smoke and falling debris, two figures staggered out, only to be met by fire fighters and police. One was a young man with greased back hair supporting the second one with long red hair.
"Aw man. Remind me never to piss Yoko off. He's really sick."
"Honestly Yusuke. I have no control over him when he's out," Kurama hissed in pain, rubbing his side. "Although, Yomi got what he deserved."
Batman stepped out of the shadows as Gordon walked over to the pair. Kurama didn't look good. He had blood and soot on his face and he was clutching at his side, shivering with reaction and cold. The boy was after all only wearing red silk boxers.
"Come on, Kurama. Hang in there. We'll get you to a hospital," Yusuke was saying.
"I'll be fine," Kurama said, wincing in pain. "No hospital."
o0o0o0o0o
Kurama was checked over by the paramedics. They wanted him to go to the hospital for x-rays about his ribs but he won't go. Yusuke quietly spoke to Gordon and Batman explaining that Poison Ivy and her quote 'partner' won't be bothering Gotham any more.
"Hey man," Yusuke said to Kurama. "I'll come by in a couple of days to see how you are doing. Don't be surprise if the Toddler doesn't pay you a visit."
o0o0o0o0o
When Kurama stepped out of Batman's vehicle, he was greeted by Barbara and Alfred.
"You still look hot those boxers, Shuichi," Barbara said as Alfred handed him a robe.
Kurama gave her a tired smile as they moved up to the manor. "Mother?" he did ask.
"Asleep in one of the guest rooms upstairs," Barbara said as she helped him into the elevator. "And before you ask, your step father and brother are fine. They should be released soon from the hospital. They were pretty beat up."
Kurama winced as he took a deep breathe. Between the poison and using his talent, Yoko's demon strength just hadn't had a choice to mend the broken ribs.
"Kurama?" Barbara asked.
"I'm fine,' he said thinking that he could use a shower and sleep. Instead, he slumped over into Bruce's arms as the last of his energy gave out.

All of you that guessed Yomi, pat yourselves on the back, if you can. As for a scene of what happened to Poison Ivy and Yomi, what do you think? Do you want to see it or can I just have it as news/gossip? What do you think? --GF
