Kyos POV. His usual morning with a twist...

BTW warning now, I love Yaoi and Lemon so don't blame me if the story turns ut that way I'm stil uncertain...


I awoke one morning to see the rain outside my window pouring and laying heavy drops which made the worlds image look distorted. The tracks moving down the pane joined together at random intervals and made intertwining patterns that were unique and individual. I sighed. I hated the rain, even when it was a school day. It still meant I had to walk to school in it and it always made me feel weak. I hated feeling weak. Especially in front of my rival, the rat, who, despite all my efforts at the fighting dojo, could best me even when I wasn't weak from the rain. Heck he can beat me in my sleep, I admitted bitterly to myself.

I uncurled and stretched myself out, yawning and moaning from the sleepiness and wiped the dry residue of sleep from my eyes, before sitting up and looking over at my alarm clock to discover that it was only 4:00 in the morning. It didn't really make a difference though, I always woke up early, it was the cat's way, and when you lived in a dojo for a couple of years you learn that the only way to get ahead of everyone else is to put in more time than them.

I grabbed a random t-shirt that was lying on the top of my desk drawer and pulled it on, covering up my naked torso, before standing and making my way down to the kitchen so that I would be ready bright and early and could proceed what ever way I wanted to. I mean, I hadn't even decided if I was going to school yet, I smirked to myself and opened the fridge door to grab a carton of cream and drink it down quickly. Once I'd finished it left white marks around my top lip and I licked it clean before chucking my empty carton which landed squarely in the bin.

Once I'd began my breakfast the time passed quickly and I found that it was already 6 o'clock, time for Shigure to wake, who would then begin waking everyone else up, and usually me since I'd got used to being able to have a lie-in here, but not today for some reason. It felt strange and a chill crept over me. It felt like today was the start of everything changing…

I ignored myself and finished doing my stretches by the back door and decided to get a quick run in before going to school, which I might as well go to, because I had nothing else to do today. When I left the house through the back door I slammed it shut and heard Shigure yell "Kyo, please try not to…" But I was already out of earshot before he could finish the sentence.

Whilst I was running I thought about what I might do today, after all I wasn't really going to pay attention at school, I normally doodled in my rough pad or played with a ball of string under the table (A/N: Aww! How cute.) Sometimes I even just bunked it all together and went to the roof where I could sit and look up at the sky without being annoyed by pesky strays that would always (somehow) find me. As I ran, I went past a field of flowers; some bright yellow, some deep red, some beautiful blues and I couldn't help but think about Tohru and how she would always go on little walks in the afternoon and come back to the house with a huge bouquet of brightly coloured flowers. Was this where she came? It couldn't be, it was owned by someone and said no trespassing, surely Tohru wouldn't pick from here, and she'd never harm a fly, let alone steal some flowers. I pondered this thought for a while until I realised I must have been gone a while and so I ran back to the house, as quick as I could to hear yelling inside the house.

"What the hell Yuki!" I heard Shigure's booming voice yell.

"You are always joking about taking advantage of our 'precious little flower.' I guess I just beat you too it." There was a smile in Yuki's voice as he spoke, like a victory if you didn't know him as well as I did, but to me it was more like another secret he'd gotten away with. But… He hadn't got away with it did he? Shigure just caught him… He's always hiding something the conniving little rat.

I walked indoors silently, after all what goods a black belt in martial arts if you can't sneak past a rat and a dog, and crept into the lounge so that I could clearly hear the argument in the hall.

"She's barely 16, Yuki! And so are you! I… I…" His shouts sounded more upset than angry, he couldn't be so hypocritical about their virginity, after all I'd heard stories about him and other people doing stuff that would make a prostitute scream. (And yes, I said people, you figure it out.)

"I'm so sorry!" I heard Tohru's apologetic voice coming from low, like she was on the floor and her sobs grew louder and louder as though she remembered it more and more every second. "I didn't mean to bring shame onto this house." Always thinking of shame and disappointment. Her nasally voice snagged in my ear and made me feel sorry for her, after all, it was probably that damn Yuki that had taken advantage of her, but then again it takes two to Tango. Most people would probably think that I would be upset like Shigure, but unlike those two I had the same interest in Tohru as I did in a younger sister nothing romantic, I've never felt that for anyone and no-one would ever feel that for me. I wallowed in my own self pity for a while before I noticed that all that was left of the argument was Tohru's sobbing and the boys must have left for another room. I approached the door to the hall cautiously and thought about what I was doing before I proceeded into the hall.

"Tohru?" I asked gently, crouching and looking down at her brunette hair, then placed a hand on her head. "What's the matter?"

"I've- upset- Gure-san." She sobbed and clutched her face tighter in her hands, but I saw the traitors that seeped through her fingers and made tiny pools on the floor.

"Gure-san?" I questioned. She'd always called him Shigure-san or Sohma-san… Something more formal, always. Never Gure-san. Tohru never even called Yuki by his name, let alone Shigure. I cocked my head and tried to see the reaction in her movements, but she froze and took her hands from her face, wiping them. She quickly stood and faced away from me.

"I meant Shigure-san…" She trailed off quietly before immediately heading up the stairs to her room, I supposed. However, I headed to the kitchen intent on answers.
