Chapter Three: Feeling Unwelcome

After spending a difficult night at Shigure's house, Yuki woke up a little later than he should have. A cute yawn crawled out of him as he sat up. He hung his legs over the side of the bed like a child would and stretched his arms. Only when he stood up to go to the bathroom did he notice that the things he had brought with him were gone.

"Huh...?" he looked at the clock on the wall. It read ten forty. Surely Shigure hadn't...

"YUKI-KUN!" Shigure yelled up the stairs, scaring Yuki and nearly making him fall off the bed. "Hurry and get dressed! Haa-san's here to take you to Kyo-kun's!"

"..." Yuki didn't respond. He simply did as he was told, mainly because he was used to it, and chose the only clothes left in the room. The ones from the day before. He let out an aggravated groan and got dressed. He decided to look out of the window before he left the room. The sky was still dark and the ground was wet, but it wasn't raining. He could see Hatori's car parked in front of the house.

"Yuki-kun? Are you cooooming?" a sing song voice made Yuki twitch. He still remained silent as he went downstairs. Hatori and Shigure were in the livingroom, talking quietly. They lifted their heads when Yuki entered the room. "Are you ready to go, Yuki-kun?" He nodded.

Hatori's excellent driving made the ride to Kyo's apartment building a short and enjoyable one. Yuki felt something twist in his stomach when they finally pulled up. He had seen the day before that Kyo had grown a little in the two years Yuki had spent in the main house, while he had remained roughly the same height.

"Yuki-kun, Akito had some things delivered here and they arrived this morning. The rest is in the trunk." Shigure informed him as Hatori opened the trunk. "Well, I'll go get Kyo-kun." he smiled a Shigure-like smile and skipped up the stairs to the third floor. After a couple of seconds of silence between the dragon and rat, Hatori spoke up.

"Yuki." he said slowly in his stern voice. "Don't worry. You'll be fine." Yuki looked at him with a slightly confused look. How had he known he had been worrying?
"I... I know." Yuki replied, averting Hatori's gaze as he reached into the trunk and pulled out its contents. It was only a small duffle bag that didn't weigh much. He slung it over his shoulder and closed the trunk.

"Ow...!" Shigure exclaimed from above their heads. "Kyo-ku--OW!" Hatori sighed in annoyance. A sweatdrop appeared on both of their heads. Typical.

"We'd better go help him." Hatori said and the two of them followed Shigure's path. Shigure lay on his back in front of Kyo's door, two bumps on his head. A small smile tugged at Yuki's lips. "Shigure, stand up." Shigure obeyed Hatori's commanding tone as he slipped past him and opened the door.
"Damn dog--ACK!" Kyo's voice cracked in mid-sentence when he saw it wasn't Shigure. "...Hatori." He sighed. He knew he couldn't win against the dragon. That damn dragon.

"Kyo, I don't want to hear anything from you. You already know what Akito has decided." Kyo responded with a huff and he stomped off to his room. Sighing, Hatori turned to Yuki and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small key and handed it to Yuki.
"What--"

"It's your copy of the key to the apartment. Don't lose it, all right?" Yuki nodded and put the key in his pocket. Shigure hung on Yuki's shoulder. After a quick glare, he backed off.

"Still so mean, Yuki-kun." Shigure let out a breath. "Haa-san, I suppose we should be going? Let's go to Tohru-kun's house! I heard she's cooking with--" a hard hand met Shigure's face. Hatori withdrew his hand and used it to push Shigure out the door.

Yuki stood alone in the livingroom. His bag slumped down his arm and he found himself lost in his thoughts. He didn't know how long he had been standing there dazed when Kyo's voice broke the silence.

"You gonna stand there all day? Your room is down the hall." Kyo stood there long enough to say that before returning to his room. Yuki was shocked that Kyo's tone wasn't a rude or mean one. Maybe he had matured after all...? He tried his best to shake those thoughts away before walking down the hallway. He took that the room with the closed door was Kyo's and made his way to the other one. Inside it was a twin bed with a grey comforter and pillow. A desk and a chair sat next to that, a lamp on it, and an empty bookshelf lined the wall. He let his bag fall to the floor before he turned the lamp on.

This was going to suck.
