That stupid ignoramus has no clue what he's in for.
That was Yuki's first thought as he walked out of the drawing room, narrowly missing a wooden table laden with various glass objects. He paused there for a moment, staring at the table. In a moment of fury, he brought his left arm crashing down on the table, shattering it into nothing more than mere toothpicks. The crash was much louder, and the damage much more severe than he expected it to be. Then, he looked up and saw the reason why.
Standing amidst the mess was a tanned, muscled, orange haired figure breathing heavily and erratically. Yuki immediately recognized it as Kyo, who had been gone for a week for training in the mountains. He had apparently come through the ceiling and landed on the table. It reminded Yuki of the first time Tohru had met him. He shook the thought off and instead concentrated on hating the annoyance before him.
"I thought you were supposed to be gone for a year. What are you doing here?" Yuki's voice was caustically cool as he looked at his cousin, his rival.
"What the hell do you care? I just didn't feel up to it, okay?" Kyo's mind worked as he tried hard not to portray the real cause of his unexpected return. Stupid rat, always thinking he's higher than everyone else and can get whatever he wants. Well I know one thing that he can't have…
Kyo stood not six inches from Yuki's face and never flinched a muscle, the tension between them almost tangible. Both new exactly what the other was concerned about, but neither said a single word. As if on cue, Shigure walked right into the midst of the staring match. He suddenly took on a knowing air, explaining that he knew what was going on and that he would leave. He started out of the room.
Kyo grabbed him by the throat and pulled him towards them. "You're not going anywhere," he snarled. "I know you have it in for her, too."
Shigure was shocked. Strangled twice in one day? The odds were astronomical. But he simply said, "I don't know what you're talking about, Kyo." Just as the words came out of his mouth, a fist connected with his face. Spitting blood, and what he was sure to be the remnants of a chipped tooth, he looked up to see Yuki rubbing his knuckles.
"Don't bullshit me, Shigure. I know that the whole scene earlier today was to get me away from Tohru, er, Honda-san. You're a pig. Don't think you could take Toh—Honda-san away from me, ever." With that, Yuki felt a foot cross paths with his stomach. He grunted as he hit the wall.
Kyo yelled indignantly, "Your Tohru?! She's mine! She doesn't need you!" He tried to kick Yuki in the ribs, but Yuki dodged at the last moment and caught Kyo below the knee. Skidding along the glass littered floor, Kyo bounced up and lunged for Yuki's throat. Tackling him to the ground, Kyo began to wrap his fingers around Yuki's throat, but Shigure kneed him hard in the side.
"You two don't know a single thing about how to woo a woman!" Shigure yelled, just to keep the fight from dying down. "I can woo her properly, you can't!"
Yuki grabbed Shigure's neck and slammed him against a wall. "She's a girl, you sick pervert, and far too young and innocent for the likes of you!" As he said that, he felt a fist come around to greet his face. He grunted, reeling backwards, holding his nose.
"Yeah, and she needs someone like me, not some high and mighty, stick up his ass, goddamn pretty boy!!" Kyo shouted, ignoring the blood on his knuckles. "You're too damn concerned with yourself to think of her! Go fuck with your freakin' fan club! Leave her alone!"
Yuki, in a moment of blind rage, extreme guttural fury, screamed and tackled Kyo to the ground, and the two of them wrestled while Shigure stood with his back up against the wall. He would have been smiling if he didn't feel it would cause his face to shatter into a billion pieces. But all thoughts of smiles stopped when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey, stop!" Shigure ordered. "Stop now! There's something I need to tell you!"
Yuki and Kyo broke apart and regarded with a corrosive glare.
Shigure held his breath for a moment, and then said, "Tohru-kun just left the room crying."
There was a pain-thickened silence as they all stood in their shame.
