"Koenma-sama, we find him!" A blue-hair ferrywoman announced storming into a large office.

"Who?" A small toddler demanded with a pacifier in his mouth as he worked on the piles of paper on his desk.

"Yuki-chan! We just located him, but he's in another dimension." She said sadly, looking down at the son of the Great King Enma.

"What's he doing there?" Koenma mumbled, with a bored expression on his face. He paused for a second in writing before continuing.

"I don't know, but should I tell the rest. I think Kurama-san and Hiei-san would love to hear the news." Botan suggested smiling, with her hands behind here back.

"Sure, sure. Now go away I have work to do." Koenma waved her wave impatiently. As soon as Botan left, he knocked the paper off his desk and wailed. "I hate doing this work!"

"Kurama, Hiei! I have some great news!" Botan said happily, sitting on her flying oar as she smiled down at the two men. One of the men was a handsome redhead that looked just like Yuki, but was older and had lively forest green eyes. Next to him was a man, who looked just like Vejita, but had strange shaped ruby eyes, white star bust hair and was shorter.

"What is it, Botan-san?" Kurama asked politely looking up at the ferrywoman.

"We find HIM."

"Who is 'HIM'" Hiei demanded just wanting to get straight to the point. He had better thing to do then wasting his time talking to the overly cheerful woman.

"Yuki!" Botan squealed happily as the two men's eyes widen in surprise.

"M-My Yuki?!" Kurama stuttered, all calmness blown away instantly. Hiei just stared wide eyed before recovering quickly. He didn't want to get his hopes up and find out, the person Botan find wasn't his son.

"Yes!" The ferrywoman answered excitingly smiling at Kurama, who was looking suddenly pale.

"Yuki.." Kurama whispered with a small smile and did the most unexpected. He fainted.

"Kurama!" Hiei and Botan shouted with concern and quickly rushed to the redhead's side. Hiei checked Kurama's pulse on his neck and snorted with disbelief.

"He just fainted. Baka Fox."

~Dream~

Kurama sat quietly on a park bench as he stroked his son's silk like red hair. He wondered faintly if his hair could get as soft as Yuki's.

"Papa?"

"Kurama calmly looked down, a smile appearing on his face as he waited patiently for Yuki to continue. "Am.. I.. Different?" Eight year old Yuki asked, avoiding his father's eyes.

"Yes, Chibi(1) you're different. Everyone is different in some kind of way." Kurama explained softly, but he knew something was troubling Yuki, "Why?"

"Nothing." The little boy sighed, closing his eyes.

The redheaded man frowned at the stubborn boy, silently cursing the trait that came from the boy's other father. "Yuki."

Yuki sat up, avoiding his father's touch and pulled his knees to his chest and spoke. "Why don't I have a Kaasan(2) like all of the other kids? The other day Hari said all kids have a Kaasan. Where is mine?"

Kurama started stunned, not knowing what to say to the little boy. It was a situation Kurama never wanted to be in, knowing Yuki would probably be upset. Yuki had no mother.

Kurama had given birth to the little boy after finding out that male Youki's could have babies every 10 years. Since there were more male Youkai than female Youkai's.

Kurama bit his lip, nervously." Chibi, honey, this might sound a little odd, but what I tell you is true, okay?" Seeing he had Yuki's attention, he continued," You don't have a Kaasan. I gave birth to you."

Yuki blinked in surprise and stared at his father like Kurama had two head arguing with each other on his head. "W-What?!"

"Hai, its true. Only strong Youkai's could have babies, every ten years."

"Strong? Like you, Papa?"

"Aa." Kurama chuckled smiling at Yuki, who looked away.

"Then if your really strong like you say, then why didn't you protect me?!" A deep voice demanded coming his son's mouth, startling Kurama greatly.

"WHAT?!?" Kurama yelled falling off of the wooden bench. He watched with wide eyes as Yuki grow older into a teenage form and whispered, "I- Impossible."

The teenage version of Yuki stared, ruby eyes so cold, like glaciers in the freezing Arctic. Kurama shuddered, feeling Yuki's eyes burn through his head. "Y-Yuki?"

"Why didn't you protect me? If you were so strong? Where were you when I needed you?!" Yuki demanded glaring down at his father's kneeling form.

"I'm so sorry, Yuki. I-I tried really, but they were to strong!" Kurama cried out glazing up at his son, forest green eyes pleading with his son to forgive him. "Forgive me, Yuki."

"Forgive you?" Yuki hissed crouching at Kurama's kneeling form. He glared coldly, tilting his head as he stared at his father's pathetic form. " I will never forgive you! You betrayed me! You are nothing to me! You are no longer my 'father'." He spat out the last word like it was a disease. "I hate you so much, I don't even want to look at you!"

"Yuki." Kurama stared down at the ground, his hair shadowing his watering eyes. His fist tightened around his shirt. "Please."

"I don't ever want to see your face, again." Yuki snarled and turned his back to Kurama. He gave his 'father' a disgusted look before disappearing.

"Yuki?" The redheaded man head snapped up as he realized his son wasn't with him anymore and whispered." Come back. Come back..."

~Dream Ends~

"Baka Kitsune(3). Wake up!"

Kurama gasped, jerking out of his sleep and stared into emotionless ruby eyes. He shivered, it reminded him so much of Yuki. "What happened?"

"You fainted." Hiei answered, crossing his arms over his chest. "You were screaming in your sleep, again."

"Sorry, Koi(4)." Kurama sat up and let his feet touch the soft carpet in their bedroom. "Where is Botan-san?"

"Rekai(5)."

"Lets go." The redhead human announced pulling on some clothes, startling his lover.

"Go where?" The Koorime(6) demanded, confused on what was going around him.

"To Rekai. We're going to find our son." Kurama answered, great determination in his forest green eyes. 'I will get Yuki back. If it's the last thing I do. The dream wasn't real so he wouldn't say that to me. Right?'

~DBZ Dimension

Yuki was submerged in a ten-foot tank. His clothes had been removed and he was fastened down with tubes and an oxygen mask. His eyes fluttered open and narrowed him as he began to struggle. Many flashbacks of being chained down went through Yuki's mind, forcing him to panic.

A silver colored energy surrounded the teenage without his notice and hidden his human form behind the bright light. The energy of Yuki's Ki was too much that the tank around him, broke into small pieces. Glass and watered fall onto the ground as a foot stepped out of the broken tank
