Chapter 1
The all-too familiar ding-donging of the school's bell reverberated in Yuki's head. Smiling contently, he swiftly shut his locker. The weekend had finally arrived and Yuki could be rid of student council duties for two sweet days. Yuki calmly stepped over to where Tohru and Kyo stood, waiting to go home.
"Ne, Honda-san? Ready to go?" Yuki asked in that gentle voice. Tohru looked up at him gleefully, her smile bright. She nodded and the Cat, the Rat, and the onigiri started to make their way towards the exit. A crackling sound filled their ears, stopping them in their tracks.
"What is that?" Kyo asks incredulously. He looked around in an attempt to find the source of the sound. Yuki's eyes slightly widened in horror, hoping it wasn't what he thought it was.
"YUN-YU~N!" came the slightly distorted, giggly voice over the school intercom. Yuki's brow twitched. "We have a meeting! So come and hurry to Ki- student council roo~m!" The intercom clicked off.
Silence.
Yuki heaved a huge sigh. I relaxed a little too soon. It was t- A muffled laugh interrupted his thoughts. He looked over to where Tohru and his orange-haired rival stood. Tohru was standing there confused and still smiling; which left Kyo.
Kyo stood there grinning, bits of laughter escaping his lips. Yuki, more than annoyed, starts toward the student council room.
"Sorry, Honda-san. I can't walk home with you today."
"It's okay! Duty calls!" Tohru replied cheerfully, followed by a giggle. Yuki smiled beautifully and continued his stride. He passed by the still-laughing Cat. Kyo glared as Yuki walked away. He smirked and managed to get out through the last remaining chuckles:
"Better hurry up. Wouldn't want to be late, eh…Yun-Yun?" Yuki's brow twitched once more and a taunting smirk crossed his face.
"At least I'm not a stupid cat," he stated and then continued his stride to the student council room. Immediately, any trace of laughter disappeared from Kyo's face. His face turned red with anger.
"WHY YOU DAMN RAT! TODAY WILL BE THE DAY YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH!" Kyo shouted with rage. Yuki sighed, annoyed, at the over used phrase. Yuki counted down in his head. 5...4…3…2…on 1 Yuki instinctively stepped aside. A split-second later Kyo's fist flew by, half an inch away from Yuki's head. Kyo spun on his heel to face his rival. Yuki smirked at Kyo's growling face.
"I'm sorry. Did I upset the kitty?" Yuki asked tauntingly. Yuki started walking again and brushed past Kyo. Kyo was taken aback for a moment by Yuki's comment. When he snapped out of his daze, he started to rant violently.
"YOU DAMN RAT! THINKING YOU'RE SO SNEAKY! EVERYTHING IS ALL YOU FAULT! ONE DAY I AM GOING TO BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU AND…" Kyo continued his rant. Yuki was a good distance away from the still raging Kyo, but he could still hear bits and pieces of his words.
Kyo noticed Tohru staring at him, fright and surprise evident in her eyes. Kyo immediately calmed down.
"Kyo...kun…" Tohru asked softly, "Are you okay?" Kyo ducked his face as a slight blush colored his cheeks.
"Sorry about that Tohru. Yuki just got the better of me again," he apologized. Tohru smiled and assured Kyo it was okay. They left the school on their delayed walk home. During the walk, Tohru chattered happily about her plans for the weekend with Hana-chan and Uo-chan. She apologized for leaving Kyo and Yuki alone.
"You deserve a little time off, seeing all the work you do," came the gentle reply for Kyo, accompanied by a slight ruffling of Tohru's hair.
As they approached and entered their house, Tohru and Kyo went their separate ways: Tohru to the kitchen to prepare dinner and Kyo up to his room to rest. On his way upstairs, Kyo noticed Shigure wasn't in his office. "Oh yeah, he said he was going to be out for the weekend," he mumbled.
Promptly after entering his room, Kyo plopped down onto his bed. While slowly closing his eyes, he began to think about the various events of the day: school itself, his and Yuki's fight at the lockers, the walk home from school.
Suddenly Kyo's head shot up like a bullet, eyes wide with realization.
I apologize for leaving you and Yuki alone for this weekend. Kyo remembered, repeating Tohru's words slowly in hopes he will understand them better. Kyo groaned and slammed his head back against the pillow.
"That damn rat and I are going to be alone…for an entire weekend."
