I don't own Yu YU Hakusho. . .i only claim the Youko's heart!

Yusuke couldn't believe it! It just couldn't be possible!

And yet it was. Kurama was in a fetal position on the ground of a dank, dark cell. He stared his companions back. The flesh had been all but striped from his body as if Yomi was trying to use a whip to skin the fox alive. Silken crimson hair lay in a pool of equally crimson blood. He was barely breathing; the sound of his breath was a faint gurgle. Yusuke registered that as the fox's mouth being full of his own blood.

Tears welled in Yusuke's chocolate irises. His friend hadn't so much as twitched when Yusuke's started cry echoed through the empty cell the youko had been thrown in. With his heart in his throat, Yusuke knelt next to his friend; he didn't even care that his jeans were now stained with blood; all he cared about now was if his friend was going to survive.

"Kurama. . ." he called tentatively. No reply.

Calloused hands that could punch out the toughest creature, ningen and yokai alike, and crumble diamonds to dust gently turned that youko over, while supporting his slender shoulders so Kurama wouldn't have to lay on his bleeding back. Those tear filled eyes traveled over the span of his friend's face. There was still remnants of makeup smeared over the smooth, usually unflawed skin. That pervert made him wear makeup? As if he didn't look feminine enough as it was. Yusuke thought to himself angrily.

According to Shura, who had allowed the detective to retrieve his friend while his father was away on business, the fox had been the brunt of a range of painful spells and torture. The young goat assured Yusuke Yomi had healed any fatal immediately; but, he was personally surprised that his father's favorite toy had lasted so long. Luckily, when Yomi had sent Hiei away when the little fire demon came to find out if the rumors he had been hearing were true, the goat followed him to the edge of his kingdom to make sure Mukuro's heir wouldn't cause any more problem, Shura went behind his father's back to summon Yusuke.

Yusuke took off his jacket to wrap around his friend, right after he took a quick check to make sure he didn't need any first aid before they departed, for his back looked worse than it actually was; the pressure from Yusuke's arms would be enough to make the bleeding stop until he could get the fox to Yukina's healing hands.

No, there weren't any dangerous wounds on this side of the fox. There were black and blue bruises on his full breasts; his navel was pierced and filled with what seemed to be a emerald that matched those thickly lashed eyes of his. It really accented that barrel shaped tummy of his. At the bottom of those shapely legs there were marks from cuff. . . It wasn't enough that you had him warded but you had to chain him up too? Yusuke's relief that he finally was able to get his friend out of this situation was blinding him somewhat from something he should have noticed. It hit him like a ton of bricks.

His eyes blazed with anger as they turned to the young goat standing in the doorway.

"How long has he been like this?" Yusuke growled, his voice an icy octave lower. "When did that bastard do this to Kurama?"

Shura looked down to gaze upon the fox he had grown to admire and even lusted after for a short while. His eyes, which had always been sincere, were saddened at the site of the once noble creature unconscious in his friend's arms.

"Father used the spell after he found a way to force Kurama to revert into his Youko form. He then turned the fox into a vixen."
