All right, this is Chapter 13 of "Hunter & Prey."  It is titled "Violation."
This has been finished two days ago but I had decided to wait until I can
make more revisions.  Chapter 14 of "Hunter & Prey" has also been written.
But I think I'll post it maybe a few days later unless ppl are interested in
reading what happens after this chapter.  Personally I don't think I like
this chapter that much.  Please be warned: PARTS OF THIS CHAPTER CONTAIN
MILD YAOI AND MILD LIME.  FLAMES WILL BE READ, TRASHED, AND LAUGHED AT IN
THE KURAMA-MANNER.  Constructive C & C are welcome.  Have fun reading.

HUNTER & PREY
Ch 13 Violation

	"Shit!" Yukon cursed. "Fucking shit!"  He staggered toward the stream and
sank to the ground before making it there.  He slowly got up and went to the
water.  He had definitely been injured VERY badly.  It had been days and he
was still coughing up a large amount of blood, not to mention that his youki
was not returning at the speed he wanted.  

	*Damn that fire spirit!* He thought angrily.  *Damn that shrimpy, nosy,
three-eyed demon!*  If only Hiei hadn't decided to appear in front of him at
the last minute, and if only Hiei hadn't released that damn Black Dragon; he
would've been done with the killing and be back in Makai now.  Instead, he
was now suffering from internal injuries.

	*Well, at least that asshole will probably have hell of time trying to
recover," Yukon thought to himself.  *that's assuming that he will survive...*

	He dipped his hands into the water and scooped up a handful of the liquid.
He washed his face and drank some of the water.  He had been losing blood
and he knew that he definitely needed more liquid in his body.  Also, he
hadn't been eating for days and it would be a matter of time before his body
gave out.

	*It's not worth it, Yukon,* he told himself. *to kill yourself over this.*

	Yukon sighed as he sat down and lean against the tree trunk.  He remembered
the last time that he was near death.  That had only been a year ago.  How
old was he then?  Fifteen.  That was right, he was only fifteen.  It had
been three years since he had decided to take up the hunt.  Funny how back
then, he had only been a mere thirteen-year-old youkai taking up on another
youkai who was only a year older than he was.  Sonoma had been one of his
youngest preys...

	As much as he would want to deny it, he was scared that day.  He knew that
he had been poisoned and that he would probably die soon after killing the
other assassin who had his eyes on Sonoma.  Even until now Yukon was still
confused about why he had wanted to bother to interfere in the first place.
Why couldn't he just let the bastard kill Sonoma and then he would kill the
bastard and claim the prize?  He had reasoned with himself by arguing that
it was because of his honor and pride.  But then he knew that it had nothing
to do with neither of them whatsoever.  

	*Why?* Yukon asked himself a question that he had been asking and torturing
himself for a long time.  *Was it because that I really feel for this
halfling?  No.  Can't be. I have no emotions.  I only kill for my means...*

	Somehow, his arguement didn't seem to convince him this time.  Strangely
enough, Yukon found himself tired of arguing with himself.  The memory of
that afternoon with Sonoma replayed in his mind.  Unlike the past several
times, this time Yukon couldn't resist.  He ended up sitting back and
watching the past being replayed in front of him.

	*Funny,* he thought.  *I can't seem to feel the anger this time.  Maybe I
am too tired and damaged to give a damn anymore...*

**************************

	"What...what the fuck are you doing?!" Yukon rasped.  He was beginning to
have a general idea of what might be going on.  He had never had any
physical relationship with anyone but he had remembered seeing and hearing
about others doing it.  He could feel fear creeping inside his mind.

	"I'm sorry..." Sonoma replied quietly.  His hand then reached for Yukon's
collar and started to unbutton it.

	"No!" Yukon pushed at Sonoma's shoulders.  He knew that it was useless, he
had scarcely any energy left.  The poison was now deep in the system.

	"I don't want to you to die," Sonoma said softly, his voice trembling.
Sonoma undid his braid and his long light-color hair cascaded passed his
shoulder.  Yukon couldn't tell if Sonoma was crying. "you're too young ...
forgive me."

	"Stop it!" Yukon hissed.  Sonoma ignored him and went on doing what he had
intented to do.  Yukon was now losing vision but he knew that he was still
fully conscious.  Damn!  He would be conscious this whole time, feeling
every part of this ... this violation!

	Yukon could feel his shirt being pushed off his shoulders, then the rest of
his clothing being slid off.  He could feel Sonoma's hands, he could feel
them trembling as Sonoma, in his lack of experience, ran them over his body.  

	*So he has never done this before either...* Yukon realized.  He now knew
that Sonoma was really doing this to save him.  But another part of Yukon
was angry, angry at the violation, the violation of his body, his mind, and
his pride.

	Yukon could feel Sonoma's mouth.  *Oh God...*  He felt a shudder went
through his body.  Yukon wanted to pass out.  He didn't want to endure any
of this anymore.  He felt everything, everything that went on.  Even though
he had temporarily lost his visions, the lack of vision itself had made him
even more sensitive.  He remembered how, at the end, his legs were being
parted and how in that final act of violation, that he was being
penetrated... the immense pain.  He wanted to shut them out.  He didn't care
if Sonoma was doing this to share youki with him, to save him.  He didn't
give a shit!  He now truly wanted to kill Sonoma.  It is no longer because
of the fact that he is being paid for it, it is now for personal reasons.
He had promised himself that day, that he would kill Sonoma, no matter what
it takes...

************************	

	"Oh god ... " Kurama muttered.  "I can't believe this ..."

	"Surprising isn't it?"  Ryuma remarked.  "I never thought that he would do
it either, with all the painful memories.  I guess I can understand why
Yukon would want to kill him for personal reasons."

	"Will Yukon come back for him?"

	"Definitely," Ryuma repled. "Hiei's Black Dragon is not enough to kill
Yukon.  Yukon is one of the highest S-Class youkais.  Therefore I advise
both of you to stay out of this."

	"Hiei won't agree to it, I'm afraid..." Kurama said. "And if Hiei doesn't
agree, I don't either."

	"So you two are going to kill yourselves trying to make peace between those
two?" Ryuma challenged.

	"You are his brother and you don't seem to care!" Kurama shot back. "I'm
doing this because I can see myself in Sonoma and Hiei ... he's doing it for
you!"

	"You don't understand.  If Sonoma wants to, he would've been able to defeat
Yukon long time ago," Ryuma said. "as for Hiei...he misunderstood.  The part
of me that stays with Sonoma will be gone as soon as Sonoma recovers.  I am
going back to Reikai after we have everything taken care of..."

	"You are saying ... you are saying that Sonoma ..." Kurama couldn't believe
it, Sonoma and Yukon really do have a lot of things to sort out between
themselves.

	Ryuma nodded.  "I told you that he is soft-hearted.  He doesn't like to
kill and he's avoiding it as much as possible.  Before this incident, Sonoma
had been too weak to defend himself but his body will recover soon.  I'm
very certain that if he really wants to, he will defend himself," Ryuma
said.  "it had been his choice in not killing Yukon in self-defense.  And
you are right, Kurama.  Those two do have a lot to sort out between
themselves.  Whether they will be able to do so before before one of them
ends up killing the other, will all depend on them."
