a/n: I'm sorry about the total clicheness, it must be annoying. I'm not the most creative person in the world. I seemed to have mixed all the typical scenerios found in these sorts of fics to make one monster of a Kyo x Yuki story.

Thanks Queen Phoenix for pointing out the Tohru thing. The story isn't meant to focus around her but, I will be studying the anime and manga better to try to correct the issue. Thank you so much!

I am very unsatisfied with this chapter and understand that it is poorly written. Forgive me! It will be revised and reposted as soon as I can come up with something better. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

-'Dispostion' TOOL

It started off as an average morning at the Sohma house, minding Yuki's absence from the dinner table and the fact that Kyo was looking as if he would soon collapse from exhaustion. As the boy's were busy devouring their breakfast Tohru was preparing a tray of food to take up stair's to Yuki. In defense to the pratically stifling silence, she hummed softly as she worked. Shigure was knodding his head in pleasure at the cheerful tune while Kyo, who was still in a drone like state, continued eating.

"I'm going to take this up to Sohma-kun," she announced once she was finished. Grinning brightly, she picked up the rattling tray and disappeared up the staircase.

"You look dreadful Kyo," commented Shigure once the girl was out of sight, "didn't sleep much I suppose."

This was enough to wake the drowsy neko, "What the hell is that supposed to mean!"he shouted, slamming his chopsticks down onto the table.

"Nothing," the novelist smirked, "it's just when someone is so tired it's normal to assume that they didn't rest well, but it would seem that I've touched a nerve."

"I don't have to take this," the neko muttered, retreating up the stairs just as Tohru was traveling back down.

"Did you finish your breakfast so soon?" she gazed at him curiously as he passed.

"Will you two stop interrogating me!" he snapped in ill nature before stalking off to his room.

Longing for peace and solitude, Kyo sighed as he shut his bedroom door. He needed some serious time to gather his jumbled thoughts and staying down stairs was the last thing he wanted. He had actually admitted his feelings of concern for that asshole Yuki- something very out of character on his part- but was thankful that the sleeping rat was completely unaware. But now the damn dog is acting suspicious!

All of the stress was beginning to take it's toll on the weary cat as he turned to his bed only to find an unexpected guest already waiting for him there. Resting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and his hands neatly placed in his lap was none other than Prince Yuki himself. Round, violet eyes peered out from under long, dark lashes at the stunned neko.

"What the hell are you doing in here!"

Sighing, Yuki rose from his place on the bed and took a few less than graceful steps toward Kyo. As the slender boy stumbled forward Kyo supressed a look of worry, it was obvious that Yuki was still far from well."I don't want him to over-exert himself", Hatori's words stirred from the depths of his mind.

"Sit back down you moron!" Kyo commanded.

"Nice to see that you care," the dusky haired boy teased as he propped himself up against the wall. "I expected you to be attacking me about now."

"It wouldn't be a fair fight," Kyo replied, crossing his arms in attempts to regain composure.

"Since when do you care about a fair fight?"the prince smirked, running the hand free of the wall through his hair. "Isn't winning everything?"

His eyes narrowed, "What's the matter, afraid you'll kill me?"

"You idiot," Kyo shut his eyes to avoid the nezumi's unnerving stare, "I don't care whether you live or die."

"Oh, but I think you do," Yuki replied with all seriousness.

"What do you mean?" Kyo's voice wavered.

Even though he was half way across the room, it felt as Yuki was breathing right now down the back of Kyo's neck. So much so that he could feel the tiny hairs begin to rise in response. The neko bit back on his bottom lip nervously. Don't tell me that dirty rat was awake last night!

Sensing the boy's growing uneasiness, Yuki opted to end his amusement and spare the distraught cat. "What I'm trying to say is: Thank you for saving me, Kyo."

Kyo's fiery eyes shot open, mouth agape, he looked as if someone had suddenly struck him in the face. Confusion clouding his vision he turned to his baffling cousin. Is he really thanking me?

"Tohru told me what you did for me yesterday," he explained, "carrying me home in the rain and all. It was unexpected on your part, but appreciated."

As strong as his efforts were to disguise the fact that he knew for both Kyo's sake and his own, Yuki knew that if he hadn't heard the cat's confession last night that he wouldn't be apologizing to him now. It seemed Kyo's out-of-characterness was contagious and much to the rat's dismay. I was worried about you, you idiot. How could something so small as simple sentence move him to do something like this? It was only a slight shift, but an achievement none the less.

"You were to heavy for Tohru," Kyo replied blankly, still in a state of shock.

"Well then," Yuki pushed himself from the wall, "I'm going to go finish the warm meal Honda-san has made me."

"Yea..." Kyo whispered as the boy ambled past him. Hearing the door 'click' shut behind him, Kyo in took a deep, elongated breath. Tangling his thin fingers in his tangerine colored bangs he released the breath,"I feel like I'm in some fucking alternate universe."

Just as Hatori predicted, it wasn't long before Yuki was back in good health. Through the healing process Kyo secretly kept an eye on the boy, however, Yuki was aware of the amber eyes following him as he passed through a room, but never let on to the fact that he did. Afterwards Kyo was a little less eager to start fights with Yuki, but when an argument did arise it was as if nothing had changed at all.

a/n: I only wanted to make a slight movement in there relationship and I think this is good enough. If you think that's to drastic too bad, but feel free to tell me about it. The next chapter will take place sometime after this, keep that in mind. I didn't bother proof reading, since I plan on replacing the chapter.
