They'd raced through the dungeon, Kuronue taking the West end, Kurama the East, and by the time they met up again, every water pipe in the place was glowing a different color. Some were even alight with colors that didn't even exist, or sparkled and dripped in disconcerting ways.

"Excellent," Kurama grinned, shoving his wand back into its holster. "I wonder what'll happen once the sprinklers go on in the greenhouses."

There was a long pause of contemplation.

"I think you might wanna take a day or two off work," Kuronue said, catching a distant tinkle of glass as something in that general area broke. Or, broke free.

"D'you think we might not have planned this out too carefully?" Kurama asked.

Another long pause.

“Still, you know... No need to get tentacle raped or something.” Kuronue looked oddly pleased at the possibility of such happening however. Especially since he knew it was possible.

Well, it was Kurama.

"If you had thought," Kusuriyuri retorted, his voice still soft, narrowing his eyes slightly at Youko. His expression neutralized when he glaced over at Kuronue and Yukimura. "It is best this is further discussed in private and when proper thought may be given to it," he said, his voice much closer to his normal tone.

Yukimura nodded, fighting the urge to cling to Kuronue. He hadn't realized, before now, just how much he relied upon their bond.

Kuronue frowned and couldn't help but speak up. "If he weren't split, what he really wanted would have never been discussed. He'd be stuck suffering for your sake." He frowned at Kusuriyuri a little more. "You might have tamed him, but it doesn't change who and what, he is."

He pointed at Youko. "He's not just an annoying split personality buried in Kurama. That is the core of him."

Looking at Yukimura he smiled a little and squeezed his hand, then back to the others. "Uh, we're going to go...we need some time alone."

Kusuriyuri turned to Kuronue. "While your point is valid, this one did not request such and still believes it a bad time to discuss this. This one did not desire to change what Kurama is, only accepted what was offered freely. When things have been restored, when all can think clearly, then we shall speak of this," he said.

Yukimura nodded and squeezed Kuronue's hand. "This did have to come up, at some point, and we will speak of it again, but now, I think you're right, we need some time and so do they." He knew and accepted that Kuronue still loved Kurama and was confident that that love wouldn't take away from Kuronue's love for him. It was not being able to feel or hear Kuronue through their connection that was disturbing him so much right now.

Youko looked still, despite all the insanity and confusion, quite confident. nodding at each point as it was given. Kurama, however, seemed to shrink, drawing back behind his other self and mouthing a surreptitious apology to Kuronue before tugging at Youko's sleeve.

"Please, let's go," he said, so close to begging that the parts of him that would never do such a thing took enough notice to follow, even reaching out - a little tentatively - to Kusuriyuri.

"Right," Youko murmured, distracted by following Kuronue and Yukimura with his eyes. "Let's go home."

Kuronue wanted to stay and argue but he knew he'd end up in a worse position than when he started so he kept his mouth shut and turned to Yukimura, pulled him along with him as they headed back to their room. Looking over his shoulder once, he gave a supportive look and Youko and smiled his thanks at Kurama.

Then he turned his attention back to Yukimura. It had all just been one big clusterfuck of an afternoon for all it had started out well.

Kusuriyuri reached out and brushed his fingers against Kurama's hand. "This one has much to do to prepare for the task Inari has set," he said. "This subject will be discussed later, after things are accomplished that must be done," he said, turning to return to his office.

Yukimura threaded his fingers through Kuronue's, more relieved than he liked to be headed toward his room with his lover.

Youko started to follow, but Kurama stopped him. The demon half of him gave a long-suffering sigh.

"I was only trying to-"

"I know," Kurama interrupted. "Believe me, I know. Let's go back to the greenhouse. I don't think anywhere else would be wise at the moment."

They waited in the hall until the sound of footsteps died away, then wade haste back to the greenhouses. The sprinklers had stopped, by then, and though the Greenhouses were in near-total chaos. At least they had that to occupy themselves with.
