Chapter 2: A game of Cat and Mouse

"That's it! I'm going to kick your ass, you damn rat!!" Kyo yelled, charging towards Yuki. Yuki barely had to move to dodge it. As Kyo continued sending punch after kick, Yuki got tired of it, and quickly went right up to the cat, inches away from his face.

Kyo froze, having Yuki so close made his heart thump loudly against his chest. He fought the blush that was threatening to come up. Suddenly, Yuki kicked him in the face, sending him flying out of the door and outside.

"Oh Yuki, look at what you've done to my door." Shigure whined, drinking tea. "I'm sorry Shigure, but I didn't expect him to fly out. He should learn to keep his guard up." Yuki replied, sitting down to eat as well.

Kyo cursed himself as he lay on the ground. He blamed all his failures at beating Yuki on his heart. Each time he could have won, his feelings had to interfere, allowing Yuki to go through his defenses and beat him once more.

'I can't beat him like this... It isn't fair! Why do I have to be plagued with these confusing feelings for Yuki! What do they mean?' He wondered as he slowly picked himself up, and went to his rooftop hangout.

Kyo had figured it out. He just couldn't believe it, but he knew he couldn't be wrong. He was in love with Yuki.

This was all twisted, wasn't the cat supposed to hate the rat for tricking it? Why the hell was Kyo feeling this way? Why, dammit, WHY!?

He ran a hand through his hair, and fell back against his bed. "Why me? Why does it have to be me? Why him?" He asked the air, before turning on his side.

'I don't even know if he feels the same... Though he probably doesn't; he hates me. He's said it so many times... No wonder each time he said it.. It hurt... What do I do? God, what do I DO?' He asked himself, clenching the sheets in his hand. He couldn't just go up to Yuki and say, 'Yuki, I've just realized that I'm in love with you. Let's have some hot, steamy sex!'.

He grimaced at the last sentence. Maybe he wouldn't say that part, no definitely not. He'd just have to think on something.

Morning came all too soon, and Kyo made his way out of his room. He bumped into another person, and his heart rate instantly sped up once again.

"Watch where you're going, stupid cat." Yuki hissed up at Kyo. That's when the unexpected happened; Kyo leaned down, brushing his lips over Yuki's in a gentle caress. Yuki gave a start, before taking a step back, eyes wide with surprise. Kyo suddenly realized what he'd just done, and also took a step back, staring into Yuki's eyes. He turned and dashed off without another word.

Yuki could do nothing but stare straight ahead of him, before he slowly brought two fingers up to his lips. Had that really just happened?

Kyo couldn't believe he had just done that! What the HELL had gotten into him! No, that wasn't supposed to happen yet!

'I've messed everything up! Dammit!' He mentally yelled before he heaved a sigh and fell back onto the roof to stare up at the sky.

He stayed there for a good while, and fell asleep.

Kyo gave a light groan. Whatever was licking his neck felt real good. He yelped as a sharp slap was dealt to his cheek, and opened his eyes with a jerk.

"It's about time you woke up, stupid cat. Have you any idea how long I've been here waiting for you to wake up?" Yuki asked, looking down at Kyo. Kyo looked around; he was back in his own room and on his bed.

He frowned, and looked up, only to find that Yuki was inches away from his face. His breath hitched as he tried his best not to move a muscle, eyes locked onto Yuki's. Even though Kyo tried not to move, he soon found himself kissing Yuki.

He closed his eyes, hoping this wasn't a dream. He nearly sighed in ecstasy as Yuki began responding. His tongue lightly touched Yuki's lip, begging for permission. Yuki parted his lips without missing a beat.

Touch, dance, retreat. Touch, push, pull, draw, reach, retreat. The pattern of their tongue's tango continued until the need to breathe was too much for them and they were forced to part. Yuki panted heavily, eyelids parted slightly as he leaned back to get his breath back.

Kyo leaned forward again, but Yuki laid a hand on his chest to stop him. "Kyo... wait, we have to talk first..." Yuki said. Kyo leaned back, a light frown creasing his brow.

"Yuki..." He breathed, leaning forward quickly and catching Yuki off-guard as he captured his lips in a scorching kiss.

"K-Kyo...!" Yuki managed to gasp out, being pushed back against the bed. He shut his eyes tightly, feeling Kyo's hands trail up his shirt. He'd really hoped to talk to Kyo first, but Kyo apparently had different thoughts. With a small sigh, he let Kyo win, giving himself up to Kyo's tantalizing touches.

Once they were done with their –ahem- 'playing', Yuki turned to give Kyo a reproachful look. "Kyo, will you listen to me now?" He asked, gaining his breath back. Kyo turned over, bringing Yuki closer while tracing patterns lightly on his chest.

"What is it koi?" He asked coyly, breath brushing against Yuki's neck. "I... Kyo, what did you mean by..."

"If you're asking whether this was all a one time fling... I hope you don't think that I just wanted you for your physique... I truly love you Yuki." Kyo said, bringing his gaze up to look into Yuki's eyes. Yuki's eyes widened at the pure sincerity in Kyo's tone.

"Kyo... I love you too." With that said, Kyo closed the space between them and brought Yuki into another scorching hot kiss.
