-Chapter 1- A Small Step

Kyou sighed as he stared at the ceiling of his little place. He glanced at the clock in frustration. Yuki was a minute late. Not much where most were concerned, but when you had nothing at all to do but stare at the ceiling or the wall all day…well, a minute was a very long time indeed. Tohru was planning to visit today to, but she wasn't going to stay as long as Yuki was. She never did. After all, they could only see each other when Yuki had the time, he was a psychology student after all, and in his fourth year to boot. He was specializing in child psychology, and was in school four days a week with a great deal in the way of home-work and after-school study. Next year he'd have even less time seeing as he would be entering his internship, and working six days with two off. Kyou stared at the clock now, thoroughly agitated. Five minutes late now. Both of them! Kyou did worry though, they liked to be punctual for his sake. Kyou looked up when the knock came and Tohru let herself in, leading Yuki by the hand. The rat had been forbidden from looking at Kyou three years previous when Akito discovered that they were still involved. She didn't know that they now got around this order by having Yuki blindfolded when they met. Fortunately Akito hadn't ordered them to not touch each other yet. Kyou jumped up, his signature grin in place when he saw the two and motioned Tohru over, taking Yuki's hand happily.

"You're late you know, five whole minutes!" He whined, his voice dripping with amusement all the while and Yuki smiled softly in his general direction and Tohru gasped.
"Oh no! Kyou, I'm so sorry! I thought we had enough time but I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Oh, and we made you wait! And-"
"Tohru!" Kyou gasped. How the woman managed not to run out of breath when she rambled like that, Kyou knew he would never know, all the same, it made him breathless just listening to her. He shook his head, smiling at her.

"It doesn't matter, okay? I was only teasing," Tohru smiled with relief.
"Oh, okay, I am sorry though,"
"Got you a present, stupid cat," Yuki said, kissing Kyou's ear, then his cheek. Kyou assumed Yuki had missed his initial target when he hit the ear.
"Huh?" Kyou mumbled, looking at Yuki.
"Yup! I made you your favourite!" Tohru said, holding a bag out in front of her and Kyou grinned broadly.
"All right! Tohru, you're the best!" He cheered, snatching the bag from her. She giggled, a light flush appearing on her cheeks and Yuki pouted."Uhh…friend! I meant she's the best friend Yuki!" He corrected when he noticed his lovers expression and Yuki smirked.

"You mean you'll make it up to me?" He asked slyly and Kyou gulped. Tohru flushed, well aware of what Yuki meant, having walked in on them once. She never again arrived unannounced. Kyou sighed and sat Yuki down on the bed, sitting on the rats lap and snuggling up to him. He loved it when Yuki visited him, the days he didn't get to see him were torturous. It was worst though when he had no visitors at all and he often wondered how previous cats had survived. Certainly when they were more ostracised than he was, they had lived far shorter lives than the other Juunishi. They were, after all, living lives devoid of human affection and none would survive long like that. Kyou ate the bento box which contained all his favourite foods…and all made by Tohru. He did love her cooking and sometimes she would come over just to cook him a meal. The made light conversation, about what the other two had been up to, Yuki ending up having to go into detail over just which members of his fan club had followed him to the University of Tokyo -at Kyou's obviously jealous insistence- and just what they were harassing him about today. His fan club had only grown after entering University, something which never ceased to amaze Kyou.

"Y-you know, Uo-chan was asking about you today…" Tohru said softly and Kyou looked at her, his eye's betraying his emotions. He did miss the six-foot-three blonde. She wasn't able to visit as often, having become an international sensation when she began modelling.
"Yeah? Where's she now?"

"USA…in a competition actually, Hana-chan went with her. She called though, wanted to say she was going to kick your ass in to next week if you died of boredom while she was gone," She said with a soft smile. She never stopped smiling, especially when she felt like crying. Kyou knew that some-how she had managed to blame herself for his predicament, irregardless of what others told her. Hanajima and Uotani had been let in on the Zodiac secret when Uo had tripped and been caught by Kureno, whom she was dating both then and now. Hana had been with them at the time and fortunately had kept her head when Uo's boyfriend had suddenly turned into rooster, pulling both to the safety of an alleyway before anyone else noticed. Hatori hadn't even had to do any memory wipes. Akito had grudgingly allowed the two, mainly because Hanajima had guessed years before when she had met a Sohma for the first time…one of her wave things apparently. That and Uotani was a great deal stronger than Akito was and really could win a fight against her. Akito knew better than to go picking fights with ex-delinquent's.

"Hah! She'll win, the American's don't stand a chance!" Kyou said, a small smile gracing his lips and Yuki pouted again. Not wanting to dig himself into a deeper hole than he was already in where the rat was concerned, he hastily added, "I mean…she could just beat up the rest of the competition right?" And Yuki laughed. Tohru looked frightened and like she was about to call Uotani to make sure she didn't beat up any one. Kyou gave a little chuckle at the expression on her face,

"Kyou-chan is kidding, Honda-san," Yuki said with a gentle smile. He knew her well enough to know what her expression was. They continued their visit for another few hours before Tohru had to leave to meet up with Momiji.

"Yuki, please?" He begged.
"No. I can't Kyou, you know that! I'm not allowed to look at you! Besides, if Akito finds out…she asks me every damn day! Do you know how much trouble we would be in?!"
"Yes. I don't care Yuki…I miss your eye's! And I know you miss seeing me!"

"I…I won't deny that…I do miss being able to see you but…at least I get to touch and hear you like this! If we go against Akito she'll make Hatori wipe one of us! Or she'd just beat you in to oblivion, and that is not something I want!" Kyou sighed. This was the point that Yuki always won with. It was not the first time they had had this argument and Kyou lost every time, then they had sex, then Yuki left for the day.
"Then lie," He whispered. He was tired of this, he was sick of following Akito so blindly. Yuki's shock was evident, despite the blind-fold.
"Wh-what?"

"Lie! Lie to her! Tell her you don't see me when you do! You practically lie to her already! We're already technically disobeying her by being together! Just you being here is risking a lot!" Kyou argued. He had always given up when Yuki had said that she would beat him up. He always had. He was tired though, too tired to keep it up. He hated Akito, he despised her with every fibre of his being. She always managed to take everything away from him. When Yuki had defied her once, she punished Kyou by allowing him only the barest essentials. He no longer got to have books, or writing materials. He had nothing save for a miniature kitchen, a wardrobe, a bed and the single window. It was a pretty spacious room when everything else was gone. Incredibly boring, but spacious. He couldn't leave the door or window open most days because kids from the inside would often throw things in his 'house'. He had even gotten dog dung before.

"L-lie?! How the hell do you expect me to lie to Akito?! You know what her effect is on us!"
"Yeah, I do. I also know I can lie to her. I have before,"
"Wh-what?!" Yuki looked thoroughly shocked now. He had not been expecting Kyou, of all people, to have been able to lie to Akito first.
"I can lie to her. I told her once that I didn't love anyone because I wasn't worth loving anyone, but I lied because I…well, at the time I had a crush on Tohru-kun,"
"Y-you lied? T-to Akito?! How?!" Yuki's jaw was hanging open and Kyou straddled his lover which caused a yelp of surprise.

"I got fed up. I can lie to her now. She's been asking me too. If I've seen you. And I can tell her no. She thinks I can't lie to her, she thinks none of us can, and for the others, even you so far she's right, but I can do it! It means you can too Yuki! You can lie to her if I can, I mean, you're the rat fro crying out loud!" Then slowly, very slowly, Yuki nodded.
"Y-yeah…the rat is capable of anything the cat can do…it's always been that way…hasn't it?" Kyou grinned when the rat said this.
"Yes! So Yuki?"
"A-alright…I'll do it," He mumbled and Kyou reached down, untied the blindfold from behind Yuki's head, pulling the cloth off with his teeth. Yuki's eye's were still closed underneath and he was shaking a little.

Yuki cracked one eye open and then the other, blinking twice before looking up. Kyou sat straddling him, the blindfold held by a small portion in his mouth. He's…so cute! the rat thought then, staring up at his adorable cat. He then lunged upwards taking Kyou's mouth with his own, the kiss blindingly passionate and he heard Kyou moan softly in delight. He was still scared, yes, but if Kyou was capable of lying to Akito…he must be also. Their clothing had vanished before either of them were really quite aware, and it wasn't until Yuki looked at Kyou again -who's eye's had been glazed with lust, his cheeks and neck flushed a beautiful shade of red, and lightly panting- that he realized just how worth defying Akito really was. That time when they made love, it was more passionate than it had been in a long time. When they lay together afterwards, Kyou's face still an expression of pure ecstasy head on Yuki's chest, the rat kissed the top of his head.

"Oh Kyou…I love you…I love you more than words could ever say…" He murmured into the orange hair and Kyou looked up, happiness shining in his eye's.
"I love you too, nezumi. More than I can say either…"
"Hmmm…My stupid cat!" And their lips met again.

Seliphra: Mwuhahaha! I leave it there!
Kyou: H-hey! You cut the lemon!
Seliphra: No I didn't…it's right there, see?
Yuki: She's right, baka neko. She simply glazed over it. *glare*
Seliphra: Eh heh heh…well, there shall be more uh…descriptive lemons later on! I promise! Chapter three at the latest?
Kyou: Chapter three?! The hell am I supposed to do in the mean time?!
Seliphra: See you all in chapter two! It is entitled 'Sweet Lies' and don't forget to review! I mean it when I say I'll give you extra-long lemons with more reviews!! In fact…if I get twenty reviews by chapter three, I'll put two separate lemon scenes! Yes! TWO!!
