Rape.
It was one of the most malicious, evil and vilely accused things to ever occur to a woman.
And in Kurama's opinion, any who committed such an act should be strung up by their insides while still alive enough to feel their tool being devoured by hell hounds.
Exhaling the breath he'd been holding for the past several seconds in an effort to keep the bile burning the back of his throat from coming up again, he looked down at the bushes where he'd spent the next few minutes retching and used the back of one hand to wipe at his mouth subconsciously as his mind turned back to the girl, Yuki and he began replaying everything he knew so far.
But rape wasn't all that she had suffered...
It was true. His human self may have managed to distance him from a lot in the past fifteen years, however certain knowledge still occasionally popped into his mind thanks entirely to Yoko. And if Yoko knew enough to recognize what the scars on her body signified, then so did he.
Torture.
The poor girl had not only been raped but tortured as well.
He wondered if Yusuke had somehow sensed something from her and that was the reason for his interest. After all, teenage male hormones would only do so much for the situation.
He inwardly cringed at the appalling thought before thinking, Probably not. Still there had to have been a reason why Yusuke had been so insistent on getting close to the girl.
But what?
What could his possible reason be? Kurama wondered curiously as he straightened his spine and made a quick decision to seek out his teammate and further investigate. Breathing deep, the fox demon closed his eyes for a moment and used his other senses to locate Yusuke's current location.

After dressing himself in a semi formal suit consisting of white/grey slacks, and a nice crisp white shirt with a white/grey tie and some shoes the same color. Yusuke had then brushed his hair- however hadn't slicked it back like he normally did.
After all, if he was going to start a relationship of any kind with Yuki he needed to trust her enough to see him. Not the badass punk with the snotty personality, but the real him. He needed her to see him as a person, not as someone who simply fought all of the damn time.
After finishing up, he had then left the hotel room. Careful to avoid Kuwabara and the Masked Fighter, since he didn't feel like fucking up all of his work on getting ready for his date with some idiot blood, and then used the slip of paper that he had found among the different suits and such naming the location of a local florist shop.
Making his way out of the hotel, he got half way to the florist shop when Kurama suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fell into step beside him.
"Kurama." Yusuke greeted receiving a nod of acknowledgement from the fox demon before saying warily, "You didn't come here to try and talk me out of my date... Did you?"
"No. I know how set you are on this. I merely wanted to ask permission to join you since the other team will be there."
"I did say that the option was open." Yusuke said as he glanced over at his friend from the corner of his eyes and saw the red head nod before he asked curiously.
"Very well. Where are we going?"
"To the local florist shop," Yusuke said, not the least embarrassed to admit that particular fact to his friend when any other time he'd be blushing to the roots of his hair. "I wanted to get some flowers for Yuki."
"You...seem to be quite taken with the young lady." Kurama said in an friendly teasing manner that Yusuke pretty much killed when he sent the demon into shock with his next words.
"I plan to marry the girl." Causing Kurama to pretty much trip over his own feet in shock before Yusuke could catch him and pull him back upright. "And do you mind? Tripping is all well and good if you're trying to be funny but I worked really hard to look nice for this dinner date with Yuki. I don't want to screw things up by showing up in a dirty and torn suit." Yusuke snapped at Kurama as he started walking again.
Leaving the fox demon to stare at his back for several seconds as he replayed Yusuke's last words in his mind, still in shock from them.
He planned to marry the girl?
