Battle for Akito's Hand

Love triangle, Akito's always chasing after Ikki but Ikki just can't bare the thought of falling in love with a guy. Agito, however, cares deeply for Akito, though he may not show it and wants Akito to be happy, but allowing Akito to have to end up with an idiot like Ikki is totally out of the question!

Who will Akito end up with, (if anyone at all)? I still haven't decided.

Strong language, and a bit of violence and probably.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, zilch… except perhaps the plot.

Chapter 1: Our Own Baby

"Yay! Nyah," Akito swung the little stray white kitten he found earlier, in his hands around as he twirled over and over again, oblivious to the kitten's dizzy state.

Normally, Akito would almost literally be glued to Ikki, but right after school that day…

- Flashback -

Ikki stomps his feet on the dusty ground like a child throwing a tantrum, an evil child with deadly sharp teeth, "I said get in that skirt!" jabbing a finger in the direction of Ringo behind him, holding an elementary school sailor fuku uniform.

"Fuck, I'm not getting in that!" Agito shouted back, "why should I listen to you?"

Everyone else, Kazu, Onigiri, Buccha, Ringo, Emily and Yayoi, stood impatiently behind the arguing two.

"Get one of them to wear that!" Agito snarled pointing at Ringo, Emily and Yayoi, the only females around. He held a fist up threateningly at Ikki.

In response, Ikki grabbed Agito by his jacket, lifting him up from the floor by an inch or two. "It's not my fault that weirdo likes elementary schoolgirls!" spitting in Agito's face as he yelled. "You're the only one who looks young enough and can ride well."

"Stupid fucking bastard," and with that, Agito switched the eye patch from his right eye to cover his left.

"Eh? Agito?" the surprised and confused Akito was in dominance of the body now.

"Humph, running away again," Kazu remarked.

Veins and arteries popped in Ikki's head and he yanked the eye patch back over Akito's left eye, "Come back over here, Agito! Akito can't ride well, you know that!"

With a series of screaming and yanking the eye patch from eye to eye, easily over a 100 times, changing the furious Agito and the embarrassed Akito back and forth continuously, Agito had finally had enough. Agito threw a hard fist up from under, connecting with Ikki's chin almost snapping Ikki's head back.

"Che!" Agito turned his back on Ikki and the rest of Kogarasumaru, "I'm going home, I don't have time for this." With that Agito stormed off on his A-T's leaving a huge gust of wind blowing dirt and leaves into the faces he left behind and he rode up over the rooftops heading back home, (Ikki's home) where he switched back to Akito and found the kitty cat.

- End flashback -

Akito fell down onto the floor in exhaustion and placed the snowball kitten on his shoulder rubbing his head against its fur with images of Ikki and him together looking after a cat running through his head while blushing.

An itch brought Akito's hand absently up to his face and scratched under his eye patch, accidentally shifting it out of place.

Agito came into dominance explosively, "GET THIS CAT OFF ME!" almost bringing the roof down, he aimed a scratch at the poor startled cat. His left hand, under Akito's control, picked up the cat by the scruff of its neck lifting it out of Agito's right hands reach.

"Akito, throw that cat away."

"Noooo, she's gonna be…"

As Akito started to protest there was a slam of the door and Ikki stormed into the room, Akito dropped the cat, adjusted the eye patch and flew at Ikki, hugging him by the waist, "Ikki!"

"Get off me!" and stuck a foot in Akito's face, kicking him back, "We couldn't steal that guy's parts thanks to Agito!"

Totally ignoring what he just said, Akito grabbed the fur ball that was rolling along the floor like a hedgehog, frightened out of its skin, "Look, she has your eyes and my teeth! Can we adopt her?"

Ikki gave Akito a look as if he was insane and even considered to send him to a loony bin, "What is that…?" Out of nowhere (Ikki's hair) a crow shot through the air and attacked the defenceless ball of fluff, rebounding back into Ikki's head.

The tired Ikki dragged his legs out the room; this was not worth his time, "I'm taking a bath," and started to remove his clothes, leaving them on the floor as he walked and Akito gleefully followed suit, taking the cat with him.

Ikki sat in the bath glumly unmoving, with the soap on the top of his head and Akito squirting water at his face, he had long given up trying to stop Akito. The snowy white cat however, coward on the ledge of the bath, afraid of the steamy deep waters, isolated by the humans.

Deep into the night, Ikki was fast asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. The bedroom door creaked open, Akito crawled in, dressed in a large t-shirt for pyjamas and holding the sleeping kitty with his arm.

"Ikki…?" Akito whispered softly, nudging Ikki's shoulder.

"Mmm…?" Ikki groaned, still half asleep.

"I had a bad dream… can baby and I sleep with you?" teary eyed and shaking.

No answer… Ikki fell asleep again? Disappointed, Akito squeezed the cat in his arms for comfort, waking her and it screeched weakly.

Why me? Ikki thought to himself, I'd never get any sleep if that cat doesn't shut up, without any other choice, Ikki, still feigning sleep, rolled over to make room for Akito, giving him a silent invitation.

Overjoyed, Akito climbed in the warm soft bed leaning close to Ikki, too close for Ikki's comfort in fact. Ikki edged a bit further away from Akito, hoping he wouldn't notice but Akito just closed the little space between them every time.

Giving up, Ikki turned to sleep on his other side so that he faced Akito, "Just don't make a habit of this," Ikki warned sleepily, "What did you dream of anyway?"

Akito snuggled up to Ikki happily, "Agito pushed me into a pond."

A vein throbbed at Ikki's temple ready to blow, as the three of them, (four if you include Agito), him, Akito and the fur ball (yet to be named), fell into dreamland.
