Chapter 7: The Monologue…
"What's wrong? Your heart is beating so quickly and your eyes are pointed down…LOOK UP. Yes, get a good view of him……at the way he is today."
Kurama woke to a strong, disgusting smell, making him gag. Opening his eyes, he thought for a moment he was blindfolded, until he realized his head was in the armpit of a demon. Feeling tugging on his head and hair, he realized he was being warded. When the demon backed away, he was left with his hair in a high pony tail, the paper wards draping along his neck.
Quickly taking in his surroundings, the red head realized that he was in the dungeon and was standing with his arms chained to the wall on either side of his head. Green eyes looked to Hiei and Yusuke, who were each on their own wall and chained the same way.
"Anyone awake?" He heard Yusuke say.
"Yes." He answered.
"I as well." Hiei said.
"Hey, you look good like that Kurama." Yusuke commented. "You should wear your hair up more often." Noticing the red head as the demon walked away and exited the room.
Kurama could not help but growl at that remark. Yusuke just laughed.
Hiei didn't say anything as he tested his own wards. His dragon arm had a paper ward wrapped around it and he felt the headband over his jagan, but when he tried to see if he could use the eye, it burned, causing him to wince.
"Easy Hiei, there is a ward across the headband." He heard Kurama say.
'That explained that.' The fire demon thought.
"Yusuke, are you warded." Hiei asked, not seeing any visible wards on the tantei.
"I think so." Yusuke replied. "I mean I can't tap into my spirit energy. I can't explain it…I just don't feel right."
Before he could continue, the door opened and Taiga glided in.
"I see you all are awake." She said, walking around the room, looking at each of them.
"Okay lady, you said you would talk to us later. It's later…now talk." Yusuke pointed out.
"My my, such impatience." Taiga said, walking back over to Yusuke and lifting his chin. "You want me to go into a monologue. I think I can do that, seeing as how we have the time and two of you are going to die anyways."
"We'll see about the last part…wait a minute…two of us." Yusuke said, trying to pull his chin out of her hand.
"Yes…because I will present the fox to my lover." She cooed, lightly scratching the boy's chin with her claws.
"Lover?!" The three said as one. Only Yusuke asked. "And who the hell would that be?"
"Why, Yomi of course." She smirked at the reactions she was receiving. "Would you like me to go into the monologue now?" She purred as she walked over and placed a clawed hand on Kurama's neck. She then ran a single claw down his chest, leaving a thin line of blood in its path.
"Many years ago, Yomi and I became lovers." She started, licking the claw with the red head's blood on it. "It just happened and we love each other still to this day. Yomi knew it was only a matter of time before there was a power struggle and he was right. We decided it would be best if I went into hiding and let the three of them fight it out. The other two did not know we were lovers, they just thought I was a coward and going into hiding." She walked around, studying them and even paused in front of Hiei for a moment. "Yomi was confident he would win the battle. That was until you came along, Lord Urameshi." She walked back over to Yusuke. "You see, you upset the balance by having that little tournament staged, but my dear Yomi still thought he would win and still have his fox." She walked back over to Kurama. "Are you following all of this? The point is, he was going to become King and I was going to come out of hiding and be his Queen. Then the two of us would rule all three worlds together and live happily ever after with a pet fox at our side." She ran her claw through Kurama's pony tail. "Yomi could not tell me what you looked like now. I have to admit this ningen body of yours is very nice…in its own way." As she said the last part, her hand went down the front part of his pants to lightly cup his crotch.
Kurama could not control the moan that escaped his lips.
"Back off!" Hiei growled. "He has been claimed by me and is to be my heir."
"Yomi mentioned something about that, but you fail to see the outcome." She stated. "Once you are dead and Yomi and I rule, he will be ours to do with as we please." She was still running her hands over Kurama's chest, who in turn closed his eyes and allowed his head to fall back.
"Where's Yomi?" Yusuke asked. He didn't really care. He was just trying to get her to leave his friend alone.
After another moment of fondling, she walked back over to Yusuke. "After you all humiliated him, he went into hiding." She said. "Poor dear, he wanted revenge so bad. I decided to help. I knew if I started causing trouble and drawing attention to myself, King Enki would feel threaten and call for help. He called the great Lord Koenma and thus sent you, Lord Urameshi. Mukuro would send her second in command Hiei here, but I have to admit I didn't think you would come, Kurama." Her cat eyes looked over at him. "I was thinking I would have to go and retrieve you from the Ningenkai."
"What did you do to the land?" Kurama asked. Hiei and Yusuke were a little confused as to why he asked that question.
"The land was treated with wards, so you." She pointed to Yusuke. "Would be drained when you used your powers and you." She walked to Hiei. "My dear Hiei would not be able to use your dragon and last but not least." She walked over to Kurama. "You my dear fox could not call on the plant life around you. Thus my warriors needed alternative weapons, because their powers were limited as well.
"I thought you said you were not expecting me." Kurama said.
"I wanted to cover all the bases, so to speak and I was going to get you here eventually so….." She said with a shrug and cocked a smile.
"Full of yourself much?" Yusuke muttered.
"My, you are arrogant aren't you? Yomi said you had a mouth on you." She purred and walked back over to stand in front of the raven haired.
"Well, Yomi's a sick bastard, so I wouldn't believe a word he said." Yusuke spat back.
She grabbed his neck and began squeezing, causing him to cough and choke.
"Leave him alone Taiga. It is Youko you want, correct?" Kurama spoke the first thing that came to his mind, wanting her to stop.
"You're right." She said, letting go and leaving Yusuke to catch his breath. Walking over to Kurama, she pulled his head back by the pony tail. "I want to see Youko, Yomi said you could transform. So change for me and let me see the legendary yoko."
"I can not transform with these wards." Kurama managed to say without wincing as she continued to pull his hair.
"I can help with that." Taiga said calling for the guards. Two came in carrying guns. One walked up to Yusuke and cocked the gun next to his head. The other did the same to Hiei.
"Defy me and there will be irrevocable consequences….do I make myself clear?" She whispered next to his ear.
Kurama tried to nod.
"Good." She praised and slowly started taking the wards out of his hair, making every move slow and sensual. She placed her mouth along his neck and purred as the first ward was loosened and then nipped his neck before starting on the next one.
Kurama could not control Youko, who was getting very turned on by this feline. He fought with himself, cursing the sex crazed fox as the feline continued nipping his neck and at one point closing her mouth over his throat, constricting his breathing for a moment. Green eyes turned gold and he closed them, letting out another moan.
Hiei could see what was happening and started to get angry. He began growling loudly.
Kurama heard his lover's growl and snapped out of his trance. "Stop." He whimpered.
She pulled back with the last ward and waited. "Do you really want me to?" She purred, starting to take off what remained of his shirt.
Youko appeared and smirked down at her. "Kurama may want you to, but I however want you to let me go so we can continue this in private." He purred, using his own power of voice.
She pulled at his hair and he leaned into her touch, thinking he had persuaded her, but then he felt the wards going back in his hair.
"I don't think so." She whispered in his ear, tying the last ward that left the spirit yoko's hair in its own style of a ponytail.
He shook his head, hating the ponytail and cursing his luck.
"I need to go now and get Yomi. I think he will be quite pleased with what I've accomplished and better yet, in no time at all, all three worlds will be in a never ending war. Two of you will be dead and Yomi will be my king. And together we will parade the legendary yoko around as our pet and toy." With that speech, she walked out, the two guards following.
"Well, that did not go as I expected." Youko said, shaking his head again in annoyance at the wards.
"And just what the hell did you expect you sex…" Hiei growled, actually flustered.
"My little fire demon, don't be jealous." Youko smirked.
"Am I missing something here?" Yusuke asked.
"All I was trying to do was get her to believe I wanted her in hopes she would let me go so I could get us out of here." Youko stated as a matter of fact.
"Hn." Hiei said, his red eyes rolling.
"Little fire, I would not jeopardize your relationship with Kurama. I happen to be falling for you myself, every time you two have hot passionate sex…" Youko said lovely.
This caused Hiei to actually blush.
"Woo, way to much information." Yusuke said, rolling his eyes.
Youko shrugged.
They heard a lot of commotion and what sounded like bombs going off, quickly followed by screaming and orders being given out. Youko and Yusuke looked to the fire demon, who had a small smirk on his face.
"It would seem my plan has just started." He said.
End Chapter 7
