Kyo stared at the movie screen, trying not to look next to him, at the happy couple. Yuki had his arm around Tohru's chair, who stared up at him with adoring eyes. Kyo felt sick and clutched the popcorn bag tighter in his arms. He tried to concentrate on the flickering movie before him.

"Daniel, you love her more than me don't you."

"Beloved, don't say that. I love you more than anything, she's just a orange haired skank, I loved once upon a time."

God hates me doesn't he. Kyo got up from his seat and brushed off the crumbs from his jeans. "Kyo-kun, where are you going?" Tohru asked, sounding worried. Kyo managed a smile "Don't worry, I think I have a stomache ache. I'll see you guys later."

It had been 5 years since the end of the curse. Akito had no claim over them and the opposite sex did not change them. Everything seemed to be going well, lovers could touch, it wasn't a worry to walk through a crowd. Kyo had finished college and was working at his dad's dojo. Yuki and Tohru had grown close over the years. Yuki, who had actually become something of a friend and Tohru, the girl he had always loved, were engaged. They had told them over dinner, before they had left Shigure's.

"Kyo, Shigure, we have something to tell you," Yuki said smiling in that confident way he had slowly achieved over the years.

Kyo and Shigure looked up from there dinner, curious of what could make Yuki smile in such an open way.

"Well, we've been going out for a long time now," Tohru continued for him. Kyo's heart dropped.No not now, please.

"And, well, Yuki proposed to me."

Kyo dropped his bowl of steaming soup. "Gah, oh I'm sorry," Kyo muttered wiping the table and floor. His throat clenched to keep from crying. Shigure looked at him sympathetically from across the table. Tohru got up from her seat "Oh Kyo-kun let me get that." She reached for his shirt which was wet.

"NO!"

The room went quiet. Shigure and Yuki shared knowing sad glances. Tohru looked shocked and confused "What's wrong, Kyo-kun?"

"Ahh I'm sorry, Congratulations on the engagement, I have to go out now, I forgot to tell my dad something."

Kyo ran outside of the house.

Tohru laughed and turned to her fiancé and perverted friend. "I didn't know Kyo was as silly as I am." She brought the dishes to the kitchen to wash.

Yuki sighed, " He isn't going to the dojo, he went the wrong way."

"Yeah, I know." Shigure got up and went out the door after Kyo.

Kyo got to his apartment and unlocked the door , shuffling to his bed, tired, depressed, and angry. So its not surprising that he didn't notice the odd lump under the covers that didn't belong there. Closing his eyes he held peace for a second before "AHHK!"

An arm had wrapped around his waist and held tight. He kicked whoever it was right in the stomach and sent them flying off the bed. The cover kept the trespasser from seeing . "Who the hell are you?" Kyo barked holding a lamp, to kill the sucker.

"Kyooo-kuuun, you kick hard. Who else would it be?" Shigure's head popped out of the cat-haired covers.

"Pervert, what are you doing in my bed?" Kyo screamed even more angry now that he knew the trespasser.

"I was waiting for Kyo-kun to come home, I was lonely and well Kyo's bed smelt nice like him."

Kyo blushed and glared "Who said you could come into my house?"

Shigure's eyes turned serious and dangerous as they sometimes did, as Kyo had discovered. He walked towards Kyo and grabbed him by the waist and kissed him. Kyo gasped and struggled, but gave in quickly to the warm feeling of a mouth against his. He had gotten used to this.

Kyo sat in the big oak tree that lay in the heart of the Sohma's forest. He let the tears go, the ones he would never drop in front of anyone.

He woke up a bit confused, with an odd anxious feeling in his chest. It had grown dark and chilly but he wasn't in the tree anymore, but on the ground. And there was a blanket around him. "What the--?"

A shape next to him at the base of the tree shifted "Kyo, are you awake?"

"Shigure, what are you doing here?" he said a bit annoyed. How much did he see?

"I just wanted to make sure you didn't do anything stupid."

"What are you talking about old man, why would I…"

"I saw you crying."

"I did not!"

Shigure laughed "It's okay, I'll take care of you."

"Wha?"

Shigure closed the little distance between them. Kyo was too shocked to move, a tongue slid against the side of his mouth and he shuttered involuntarily. He pushed away angrily ,but the arm behind his back pulled closer. He didn't know why his face felt sticky until they parted for breath, he was crying. "Don't cry," Shigure whispered gently. Maybe it was the weakness or loneliness of the moment or maybe he had gotten a fever from the cold, but he didn't resist more and that night he let Shigure have his way.

A/N Hn, I'm a bit depressed, srry for the angst.
